Linux Radio Ads a Success, Not a Failure
Linux on Kim Komando's ShowFirst of all, I love the audacity of advertising Linux on the Windows-happy Kim Komando radio program. Kim is all about Windows, with a smidgen of Mac and lots of consumer electronics. But it was the perfect program to run a Linux ad campaign on, because Ms. Komando is really about doing things with tech-- sharing photos, connecting with family and friends, mobile devices, music, shopping, movies, job hunting, blogging, and everything else under the sun. What a great under-served audience to target.
Ken first created a high-quality professional 60-second spot, and then generously released it into the world for anyone to modify and use. Then he had funds for a two-week campaign, with these results:

Ken my friend, that is what we call "a roaring success."

Postgame quotes after the Revolution defeated Toronto FC at Gillette Stadium on April 10, 2010
Overall thoughts …
"I think getting the ball wide was always going to be huge for us. The very first attack of the whole game we got it wide and we caused them trouble. Unfortunately, first half, we just lacked that quality in their half of the field in order to get the break through. We were 1-nil down at halftime, which is like a sucker punch – just a ball banged into the box. It was a fantastic header, but you know, you have all the game and come in 1-nil down. So it was just about trying to get better quality in their half of the field, and that's exactly what we did. The quality was there on the cross. The quality was there on the finishes. Just all around, the quality rose from the first to the second half."
On Zack Schilawski's performance tonight …
"The second goal is just a great goal. He's through on the goalie. He's cool, he's calm. He rolls it in the side netting. It's just a fantastic finish and well-taken - all the good things that he has. He was worried that he was there to score goals and he wasn't. But the truth is we hadn't given him any chances. We just said to him, 'Look, while we're not making chances for you, you shouldn't have a problem.' But we got him chances tonight so he showed what he's capable of doing. It's a fantastic start for him. If he continues to play the way he did and finish the way he did, he'll have a bright future."
On the team's newest player, Marko Perovic…
You see the quality he has in his first touch, for example. He likes to go at people as we said. He's got good vision. Hopefully you'll see all these things in the coming weeks.
On earning his 100th career victory …
(Chuckling) "We've got a game next week, so let's hope it's 101. That's all I'm bothered about."
On the service into the box:
"That was the focus at halftime: get balls in the box and get on the end of those. As a striker, you've got to take that to heart and the second half, that was what was on my mind. Two great balls as far as weight and placement made it easy for me."
On scoring his first career MLS goals:
"Confidence is huge for a striker and as a soccer player, confidence is huge. I've got a lot of confidence right now – and not only me, but the team to come out here in the home opener and score four goals in one game, and have a little bit more confidence in the attacking half. I think things are looking good.
On what changed during the second half:
"I don't know, sometimes that's how it is in soccer. We thought we were all over them in the first half. We thought we were pressing them, creating turnovers, unlucky to give up the goal. So we just came out even harder in the next half and sometimes when you get one, the floodgates just open."
On the first three games of the season so far …
Obviously it helps to have Shalrie back. He's a big part of our team both ways. I thought tonight in terms of connecting passes and keeping possession in the second half, it's the best we've done so far. Looking forward, we have a lot of confidence going forward.
"(Joseph) Niouky did a great job of winning balls, especially in the second half. I just wanted to feed off of that and I tried to stay high a little bit more, just to have Dube and Zack up top. I think we all played great as a team tonight."
"It was one of those games where I wasn't seeing the ball enough and every time I tried to get it, I was getting hit, I was getting tackled - so that was kind of frustrating. I just tried to be patient. Stevie (Nicol) was telling me to just be patient and it's going to come, it's going to come. Zack (Schilawski) created chances and Kheli (Dube) created chances; all of the guys did well tonight."
"Sainey's (Nyassi) talent is unbelievable. It's just a matter of when he's going to start putting that stuff together – him and Kenny (Mansally) – they are going to be unbelievable to watch."
On the team scoring early in the second half:
"It was huge that we got it so early [in the second half]. They didn't really want to play and we knew that they scored early and if we were also going to give up an early strike, we were going to keep working at it and it shows what this team is capable of. We've got a good, strong will. A couple of new guys with Cory (Gibbs) and Preston (Burpo) in the back and (Joseph) Niouky in the midfield. And with (Kheli) Dube being here for his third year, we expect a lot of great things from him. It's going to be a test for these guys, to take their game to another level. I think there's a lot more great things for this team ahead."
"Injuries, no injuries. I think we could have been better than what we showed in the second half, especially after we gave up the first goal."
"It was like a shock after five minutes in the second half - after putting in 45 minutes where we don't give up too many things - we just came out of the locker room thinking that we already won the game. I tried to warn them in the half time the game was 90 minutes."
"The thing is New England didn't have to work really hard for the goals. We handed them goals. It's okay if you say that you really got dominated in football, it's okay. They got their goals because we made silly, silly mistakes."
"I got real winded making runs back and forth. It seemed like we were trying to attack and we weren't very patient. We'd get forward real fast and then we'd have to get back and, you know, that's just the way it is. You chase the game at 3-1, and that's just the way it goes. We had a good first half, I thought. We scored the goal and defensively we did very well. And then we just came out and this happened and that happened and it was just a terrible game for us."
"First half we did well, we scored the goal. Second half, we were like (a) different team, I don't know what happened. Nothing much to say. Two different teams went out onto the field."

It's Showtime! Vegas Entertainment Strikes Gold
It may be hard to believe that the Las Vegas Strip - an epicenter of live entertainment - was once an undeveloped part of the city. Ingeniously reinvented by Thomas Hull in 1941, he built El Rancho Vegas Hotel-Casino and presented live entertainment to keep patrons at the property.
The Strip is now home to some of the world's most spectacular acts from the gravity-defying Cirque du Soleil to international superstar Shania Twain. But Vegas is more than a one-street wonder. The recently opened Smith Center for Performing Arts and Fremont Street offer visitors an array of top-tier talent in venues ranging from intimate clubs to grand concert halls.
Don't know where to begin when planning your Vegas entertainment experience? EDGE hits the jackpot with insider information for the hottest tickets on the Strip and beyond.
Shania: Still the One
Shania Twain has set up outpost at the Colosseum at Caesars Palace with her brand new show, Shania: Still the One. As the top-selling female country artist of all time, she has sold a staggering 75 million albums worldwide and has 18 top 10 songs to her credit.
Twain recently received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and her memoir, "From This Moment On," continues to climb The New York Times best sellers list. While you can catch a performance of a lifetime in Vegas, Twain's behind-the-scenes story is also being captured on her documentary series "Why Not? With Shania Twain" on OWN: Oprah Winfrey Network.

The latest surreal creation from Cirque du Soleil recently arrived at ARIA Resort & Casino. Old World theatrics meet spellbinding acrobatics as Cirque's latest narrative follows a ringmaster and his peculiar collection of circus characters through a world of fantasy and celebration.

Michael Jackson Reimagined
The Estate of Michael Jackson and Cirque du Soleil have joined forces to create touring and permanent shows based on the music and songs of Michael Jackson. This will be the largest-ever music show touring North America and around the world for four non-stop years. The second show will have a permanent home in Las Vegas and will open in 2013 at Mandalay Bay.
Cirque du Soleil President Daniel Lamarre recently told the Las Vegas Sun, "I don't want to confuse the two Michael shows. They are totally different. None of the acts in the touring show will be used in the theatrical show. They will all be brand new - nothing will have been seen before. He also hinted, "There will be a lot of acrobatic acts, but they will be characters with the storytelling. It will be very different from anything else we have done."

Carlos Santana
While Vegas has no shortage of spectacle, entertainment options also offer visitors access to legendary musicians in unique settings. Carlos Santana recently launched a two-year run of "An Intimate Evening with Santana: Greatest Hits Live - Yesterday, Today & Tomorrow" in the reconfigured House of Blues at the Mandalay Bay.
Carlos Santana is one of the most iconic guitarists alive, having catapulted onto the scene via San Francisco in the 60s. He has won 10 Grammy awards and the group was inducted into the Rock 'n Roll Hall of Fame in 1998. His most recent album, "Shape Shifter," is an instrumental tour-de-force but so are his philanthropic efforts. His Milagro Foundation has granted more than $5 million in the areas of arts, education and health.

If you're looking for a truly imaginative evening of live performance, drink the elixir of Absinthe, an experiential carnival that transforms the Roman Plaza at Caesars Palace into a turn of the century European fun house, including a speakeasy and beer garden.
The Spiegeltent pays homage to the heritage wooden show tens of Europe, showcasing mirrors, stained glass and velvet décor. Captivating from the moment it begins, you'll wonder if you hallucinated the experience but trust us - it's all real.

"Soul2Soul" with Tim McGraw and Faith Hill
The clock is ticking to catch country music's power couple at The Venetian Las Vegas where they are performing a limited engagement through April 2013. It's been six years since Tim McGraw and Faith Hill have shared the stage together in the U.S. (though they've been married for 15.)
McGraw has been on the music scene for more than 20 years. In addition to his three Grammy Awards, his award shelves include 14 Academy of Country Music Awards, 12 Country Music Association Awards, and 10 American Music Awards.
Not resting on his laurels, McGraw's latest album explores new musical territory. "I feel like I've progressed in my work, and I've gotten better," says McGraw. "On my last album, Emotional Traffic, I was discovering some new sounds and new things that I wanted to do, scratching the surface of the direction I wanted to head. This album was a way to reach a little further back, to all that I'd done throughout my career, and bring both sides together-it's a combination of that discovery, along with some rediscovery."
Faith Hill has her own substantial track record of music stardom. With more than 30 million records sold worldwide, Hill has been able to seamlessly cross genres between pop and country. Fans are eagerly awaiting this year's release of her first studio album of original music since 2008, tentatively titled "Illusion." Be the first to hear the new songs performed live, along with duets featuring husband McGraw.

For the life of me, I cannot recall what triggered my need for a coconut cake this weekend but all I know is that the need was deep! The cake I was craving was simple – no fancy buttercream – just a good slab of sponge. Unlike Bono, I found what I was looking for.
When I perused the quantities in this recipe and then the recommended cake tin size I assumed that the cake maybe wouldn't rise as much as the ingredients suggested; maybe the inclusion of the coconut cream would somehow prohibit the cake rising. Wrong! Look at the height of this cake – I love it! If you wanted a more normally proportioned cake I would suggest going up a tin size.
I've never used solidified coconut milk in a cake before and found it a fascinating ingredient. It looked pretty unappealing – like a block of Trex or Cookeen but smelled divine. As soon as it starts to warm i.e. even room temperature, it softens and you get a sense of the creaminess of the coconut. I grated it in a mini chopper as I think handling it too much might result in a mushy mess. The coconut milk was in the Indian, Thai, and Caribbean products aisle of my supermarket – it comes in a cardboard box shaped exactly like a block of butter.
Coconut cakes usually use desiccated coconut which adds flavour and texture to the sponge. The coconut milk added an extra layer of flavour – a rich creaminess, somehow making the sponge fuller flavoured in a way that made my mouth water.
The glace icing was delicious and benefits from the addition of a tiny amount of butter. The original recipe used water but I decided on a touch of decadence and used Malibu!
The recipe also provided measurements in cups, so for the benefit of my readers across the Pond I include them in the recipe below.
I'm now off on travels for work – I will try to visit as many of your lovely blogs as usual, but it might not be until next weekend!
For the cake:
440g (3 ½ cups) plain flour
3 teaspoons baking powder
250g (2 sticks) unsalted butter
315g (1 ¼ cups) caster sugar
60g (1/2 cup) desiccated coconut
35g (1/3 cup) solidified coconut milk, grated
4 eggs
185ml (3/4 cup) milk
For the glace icing:
15g (1 tablespoon) unsalted butter
2 tablespoons Malibu, or water if you prefer
250g (1 ½ cups) icing sugar
Additional water, if required
To decorate: I used crystallised coconut from my local sweet shop but shredded coconut would be just as nice
Preheat the oven to 180˚C/fan oven 160˚C/350˚F/Gas mark 4.
Line a 20cm round springform tin with baking paper making sure the paper comes up 3-4cm above the height of the tin. If you want a flatter cake, consider using a 23cm round springform tin.
Sift the flour and baking powder into a large bowl and rub in the butter until the mixture resembles bread crumbs. You can do this in a food processor, if you prefer.
Stir in the sugar and both types of coconut.
Gradually beat the eggs and milk into the batter.
Transfer the batter (it will be thick but pourable) into the prepared tin and level the surface.
Bake for approximately 1 ½ hours or until a skewer inserted into the cake comes out clean. I checked mine after 1 hour 10 minutes but it needed the full 1 ½ hours.
Place the tin on a wire rack and, when the tin is cool enough to handle, remove the cake and leave on the wire rack to cool completely. You can make the cake a day in advance and store in an airtight container.
Now make the glace icing: place the Malibu (or water) and butter into a dish and microwave for 10 seconds or so, until the butter is soft enough to stir into the liquid.
Place the icing sugar in a bowl and gradually whisk in the butter and rum.
You may need to add additional water to reach the right consistency; ideally this will be thick, glossy but spoonable and spreadable.
Spoon the icing onto the top of the cake and spread gently. Work quickly as it will set. I spread it just over the sides but you can spread it all over if you wish.
Decorate with either shredded or crystallised coconut.
Leave to set for 10 minutes before serving.
Bask in the glory of the wonderful thing you have made.

Grand Marnier Panettone Bread Pudding with Dark and Milk Chocolates
Making panettone bread pudding has become a sort of holiday tradition for me. Living far away from family I have, little by little, recreated the feeling of home far away from home. I've started my own traditions, like this bread pudding. I make it every year now, and just the smell of the panettone coming out of its package signifies that that time of year has arrived. I tweak the recipe a little every year: this year, it's more rustic, meant for every one to dig in. There is dark and milk chocolate, and a healthy dose of Grand Marnier.
Moving away from home has been a real test in growing up. I've been away for a little over 6 years now, most of my family living minutes from each other in Paris. So, new traditions are born, and, with me, they usually tend to surround Oliver, food and good friends.
Grand Marnier Panettone Bread Pudding with Dark and Milk Chocolates
Serves 4
2 eggs
1 cup of whole milk
1/4 cup of granulated sugar
3 teaspoons of Grand Marnier
1/2 large panettone loaf with candied fruit and raisins
1 tablespoon of bittersweet chocolate chips
1 tablespoon of milk chocolate chips
Butter, to butter the ramekins
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the eggs, milk, sugar and Grand Marnier. Beat until well mixed. Using your hands, tear the pannetone into large bite size pieces. Butter a large oven-proof baking dish and scatter the panettone pieces at the bottom. Scatter the chocolate on top of the panettone. Pour the egg mixture over the panettone, and lightly push down with the back of a spoon until the panettone is covered with egg mixture.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35 minutes, or until the egg mixture is just set. Serve warm with vanilla bean ice cream. Enjoy!

Several years ago my parents moved away and know what you're talking about. I think it was more difficult for my children who are very attached to my parents. It has been nice though making new traditions.

When Austin's Circuit of the Americas was being planned and built, many people wondered how it would be sustainable if it only hosted a Formula One event, some track days, and a handful of other races every year.
So circuit officials have looked into hosting other sporting events, including boxing, tennis and volleyball. But while those sports are fun, they aren't exactly... extreme.
That could be remedied if the circuit gets the contract to host the X Games for three years starting next summer, reports the Austin American-Statesman. They've thrown their hat in the ring to get the extreme sports event along with venues in about 20 other cities, including Fort Worth's Texas Motor Speedway and the Charlotte Motor Speedway in North Carolina.
A Circuit of the Americas spokeswoman told the American-Statesman that the 1,100-acre site "has the space and facilities to host all of the events, including a 15,000-seat amphitheater that could hold concerts associated with the games." Its amphitheater remains under construction.
Today, the newspaper reported that both the dates of the 2014 X Games and the finalist cities haven't been selected yet.
The Circuit of the Americas would certainly be an interesting choice to host the games, which include motorsports events like RallyCross. When we covered the inaugural U.S. Grand Prix there last year, we found it to be a pretty world class facility that lived up to the hype around it. And as a former Austinite, I could see people there getting into the X Games. Events like BMX may even placate some of the car-hating crowd in that city too.
A lot of you guys probably attended the F1 race in Austin, and I know some of you live there (or you live nearby.) Do you think the X Games would be a hit in the ATX?

Dining with kids, Down South, Duckstein Brewery, kids, Margaret River, Playgrounds, Saracen Estate, Saracen Estates, Things to do, Western Australia
Those of us who are responsible for the care of children know how awesome it is to find dining venues that make an effort to accommodate children. We are quite fortunate that in the Margaret River region there are a number of venues that have incorporated playgrounds to give the kids something other than food to occupy them.
So, to compliment my posts on Perth playgrounds I will add a couple of Down South ones as well.
Let's have a look at the beautiful Saracen Estates Duckstein Brewery from a different perspective.
The playground is situated at the furthermost end of the outdoor dining area. It is cordoned off on three sides so relatively easy for adults to keep track of the ankle biters.
This location means that other diners who are not enamoured with children have plenty of space to distance themselves.
The only downside is that for a winter visit, even on a pleasant day, it is quite windy and thus chilly at this end of the outdoor space. The call of the large fire inside my just be too alluring.

To the Editor:
Governor Chafee's son's arrest saddens me. He is old enough to join the military, but not old enough to drink and when he supposedly told his friend to plead the 5th, he was told to shut up or else. This was a violation of his constitutional rights to freedom of speech, etc.
In the '70s, the Rhode Island General Assembly reduced the drinking age in the state to 18 and later raised it to 21 again. Maybe we should revisit the age time frame; many Rhode Island teenagers have died in wars. Let him have a beer, as long as he doesn't drink and drive.

Unser Leute the Story of the German Russia People Part I
Halverson, Carol Just. "Unser Leute the Story of the German Russia People Part I." Prairies 9, no. 2: August 1985, 12-18.
PDF Document (PDF 705KB)
Our people. Who were they? Where did they come from? If we are German, how come my mother does not make sauerbraten? If we are Russian, why don't we speak the language? I have a German name, and my ancestors had farms in Russia. That must mean I am a German Russian. But how did it all happen?
The history of our people is one of several migrations. The Meidinger family originated in Switzerland and arrived in Germany to the village of Neipperg, in the northern part of Wurttemburg Province, some time after the Thirty Year's War ended in 1648. They were employed by the Duke of Neipperg to work in vineyards.
But by the mid-1700s Germany had become impoverished because of recurrent wars. Wurttemburg especially was hard-pressed in carrying more than its share in furnishing soldiers and horses as well as financing the Napoleonic wars. Economic failure, crowded conditions, and inadequate crops also created the need for "living space."
It was during that century the Russian royal family took to the task of "Europeanizing" Russia by intermarriage with the princely houses of Germany. Thus, Catherine, a daughter of the house of Anhalt-Zerbst, was called to Russia to marry Peter, the heir to the throne. Peter became emperor in 1762, and soon alienated the army, nobility, and the church. Within months, a palace revolution unseated him, placing Catherine on the throne. Shortly afterwards, he was murdered by her partisans.
Enter Scene One
Catherine the Great
It was Catherine who thought of settling German peasants on her empty lands. She was aware of the political and economic problems in her native Germany and she saw the situation as an opportunity to bring industry and progress to Russia's undeveloped frontier.
On July 22, 1763, Catherine, Empress of Russia, issued an invitation.
It made generous promises, such as:
-Free transportation
-Generous allotments of free land
-Interest-free loans for 10 years
-Freedom from taxes for five to 30 years
-Freedom of religion
-Freedom from military conscription
-And, most important, freedom to keep their language
What more could our weary peasant ancestors ask for? It was a free trip to the Promised Land!
Exit Scene One
The first wave of immigrants were sent to settle along the Volga River to the east. They became known as the "Volga Germans." In the south, in the Ukraine and along the Black Sea, came the next wave of immigrants. They were called the "Black Sea Germans." They acted as a shield against Turkey. Settlement along the Black Sea began about the year 1804 when Catherine's grandson, Czar Alexander I, aggressively pursued German immigrants to cultivate the arable land. No doubt Johann Leonhardt Meidinger and his wife, Barbara Muller, felt desperate in their decision to leave their homeland.
Enter Scene Two
Nun Ade, Du Mein Lieb, Heimatland
(Farewell, Oh My Dear Fatherland)
Farewell, oh my dear Fatherland, dear Fatherland, farewell.
I want to try fresh wind and sand, dear Fatherland, farewell
So I wander, singing heartily,
As one sings when one feels strong and free,
Dear Fatherland, farewell
How your sky looks down in heavenly blue, dear Fatherland, farewell.
And your trees and meadows fresh with dew, dear Fatherland, farewell.
God knows to you I'll faithful be,
But now the far lands beckon me,
Dear Fatherland, farewell.
Nun ade, du mein lieb' Heimatland,
lieb' Heimatland, ade!
Es geht jetzt fort zum fernen Strand,
lieb' Heimatland, ade!
Und so sing' ich denn mit frohem Mut,
wie man singet, wenn man wandern tut,
lieb' Heimatland, ade.
The journey to Russia in those times was a test of strength and faith. The route varied according to the province of origin. It is believed our ancestors came down the Danube River in crowded boats to Galati in Moldovia and then across country to the Russian borer at Dubossary or Ovidiopol on the Dneister River. The journey by boat and wagon and often on foot took from two to five months and often meant wintering on the way.
Exit Scene Two
When they arrived at the border, the immigrants had to face a quarantine period and then live in primitive barracks for weeks or months before the settlement site was ready. Hardships were often beyond endurance. Many families were almost wiped out, and few reached the settlement sites intact. In those early years, in "New Russia," the seaport of Odessa was little more than a fishing village. Moreover, the open steppes of South Russia had never been cultivated.
In Kassel, where the Meidingers settled, the German colonists clung to their language, religion, and culture. They were Evangelical Lutherans, and spoke with a Schwabian German dialect. In the years they lived in Russia, almost no one spoke Russian. Mothers sang these lullabies to their children, who passed the songs on to later generations:
Song: Schlaf, Kindlein, Schlaf
(Sleep, Baby, Sleep)
Sleep, Baby, Sleep;
Thy father tends the shop.
Thy mother shakes the branches small,
Lovely dreams in showers fall.
Sleep, baby, sleep.
Schlaf, Kindlein, schlaf.
Der Vater hüt't die Schaf.
Die Mutter schüttelt's Baumelein,
Da fällt herab ein Traumelein.
Schlaf, Kindlein, schlaf!
Song: Müde Bin Ich, Geh' Zur Ruh'
(Weary Am I, to Rest Must Go)
Weary am I, to rest must go;
My eyelids close as well I know
Dear Father, that those eyes of Thine
Fondly, will bless this bed of mine.
Have I done some wrong today?
Dear Lord, for your grace I pray.
For Thy love and Jesus' blood
Every error shall make good.
Müde bin ich, geh' zur Ruh,'
Schliesse meine Augen zu;
Vater, lass die Augen Dein
Über meinem Bette sein.
Hab' ich Unrecht heut' getan,
Sieh' es, lieber Gott, nicht an;
Deine Gnad' und Jesu Blut,
Mache allen Schaden gut.
Exit Scene Three
A report of life in Kassel dated April 1848 reports the types of affliction the colonists endured. There were several years when crops were devastated by locusts, serious livestock epidemics, and outbreaks of smallpox and cholera. The same report, however, tells that a "decent and practical large schoolhouse was built where the children may become literate and receive the kind of religious instruction that teaches them to be virtuous and patriotic citizens."
The importance of religious training exists today among the German Russians. Many in this audience remember walking in the church on their confirmation day, singing this song:
Enter Scene Four
Song: So Nimm Den Meine Hände
(Take Thou My Hand, O Father)
Take Thou my hand, O Father
And lead Thou me,
Until my journey endeth,
Alone I will not wander
One single day;
Be Thou my true Companion
And with me stay.
O cover with Thy mercy
My poor, weak heart!
Let every thought rebellious
From me depart.
Permit Thy child to linger
Here at Thy feet,
And blindly trust Thy goodness
With faith complete.
So nimm denn meine Hände und führe mich
Bis an mein selig Ende und ewig lich!
Ich mag allein nicht gehen nicht einen Schritt;
Wo du wirst gehn und stehen,
da nimm mich mit.
In Dein Erbarmen hülle mein schwaches Herz
Und mach es gänzlich stille in Freud und Schmerz:
Lass ruhn zu Deinen Fussen Dein armes Kind;
Es wird die Augen schliessen und glauben blind.
Exit Scene Four
Hard work meant survival in Russia. There was much to do and the old German saying, "Arbeit macht das Leben suss," held true there as well.
In the very early years, education took a back seat due to the severe shortage of teachers. Some farmers could read and write, and they shared what skill they had. The clergy supervised education when possible, but their widespread parish duties kept them too busy to have great impact. None the less, the academic and spiritual education received by the first generation of German Russians offered a bright spot in the educational gloom hanging over the rest of Russia.
The German Russian people worked hard, prayed hard, and played hard, too. There were annual festivals celebrating May Day, the end of harvest, Christmas, New Year's Day, and Easter.
But a favorite among all German Russians was the wedding celebration! Weddings usually occurred during the late fall or winter so as not to interfere with the harvest/planting cycle.
If a fellow was unable to find a suitable bride, he would hire the services of a kuple (coopla) to do the job for him. The kuple was a professional marriage arranger, usually male, with a reputation for "finding a lid for every kettle." The extent of the bridal search could depend on the size of the groom's pocketbook. Of course, the match had to be sanctioned by the parents of both bride and groom. Once the terms were agreed upon, the plans were made.
Enter Scene Five
The bride and groom arrived at the church in a buggy hitched to a matching pair of horses which were adorned with ribbons and flowers. Before entering the church, and again upon leaving, a rifle shot rang out, a tradition stemming from an old superstition believing that the noise would distract any evil nearby.
The bride often wore dark blue or black, because it signified her maturity, and because dark-color fabrics were imported—and therefore an esteemed luxury. Around her waist, she wore a white sash, and on her head, she wore a Braut Kranz, a bridal wreath made out of wax candle beads or flowers.
The groom wore a black or blue suit adorned by a small bouquet and two long ribbons flowing from his shoulder. The ribbons and sash were a symbol of status because they were hard to come by. However, in the oldest meaning, the sashes were meant to ward off any bad omens.
This hymn was frequently sung by the congregation asking for guidance
for the newlywed couple:
Song: "Jesu Geh'voran"
(Jesus, Still Lead On)
Jesus, lead the way
Through our life's long day
And with faithful footstep ready
We will follow, ever ready.
Guide us by Thy hand
To the Fatherland.
Jesu, geh'voran,
Auf der Lebensbahn,
Und, wir willen nicht verweilen;
Dir getreulich, nachzueilen;
Führ uns an der Hand
Bis ins Vaterland!
Following the service, the guests gathered for the Hochzeit, a celebration at the home of the bride where everyone ate heartily, toasted one another with schnapps, and sang folksongs and hymns. A favorite was the old Lauterbach song:
Song: Z'Lauterbach
(In Lauterbach)
Lauterbach is where I lost my sock,
I won't go home without it.
So I go back then to Lauterbach
Buy me another fit.
Lauterbach is where I lost my heart,
Living without, what a task!
Therefore, I must go to Lauterbach
My sweetheart for her's I will ask.
Zu Lauterbach haw ich mei Strimpfel verlor'n
Un ohne Strumpf geh ich halt widder uff Lauterbach zue
Un kaaf m'r a Strimpfel ans Baan.
Exit Scene Five
By the 1870s life in the German Russian colonies was good. They were well-established and farms prospered. The children of the colonies received a fine education, and, in some cases, sons of the villages were even sent back to Germany for continued education.
The churches thrived, too. And in some of the larger villages, hospitals and institutions were established.
But clouds of gloom hovered nearby as the German colonists began their second century in Russia. During the reign of Alexander II, the Russians came to regard the German colonists with envy and distrust. The Russian upper class feared they were too influential. The Russian peasants resented the prosperity and special privileges the Germans enjoyed.
On June 4, 1871, Czar Alexander II revoked the rights and privileges granted by Catherine and her grandson, Alexander I. It created a shock wave of distrust and resentment throughout the German villages. Besides having their sons subject to military service, the colonists also faced the loss of traditional self-government and the unwanted beginnings of Russification of their village schools.
For some time the colonists had heard of a new uncultivated empire in a far off land called America. The "new land" had become available as a result of the Homestead Act of 1862, signed by President Abraham Lincoln. In 1874 Katharina Thurn Meidinger's sisters and families left for Dakota Territory. They settled near Yankton in southeastern Dakota at a location known as Tripp. They soon wrote glowing letters home, reporting that their new land was comparable to that in Russia.
Following the harvest of 1884, Friedrich and Katharina, their young son, Andreas, and many others from Kassel made plans to emigrate to America. This song bade farewell to their families in Russia:
Enter Scene Six
Song: Jetzt Ist die Zeit und Stunde Da
(The Time and Hour is Now at Hand)
The time and hour is now at hand,
We're moving to a foreign land.
Where souls by thousands prosper well,
Dauntless, with tears, we say farewell.
To our beloved ones and our kin,
We say farewell, and sigh within;
Weep not so hard that we must part,
It grieves our weary saddened heart.
Jetzt ist die Zeit und Stunde da.
Dass wir ziehn nach Amerika.
Viel tausend Seelen geht's dort gut
Das tröstet unds und gibt uns Mut.
Die Wagen stehn schon vor der Tür.
Mit Weib und Kinden ziehen wir.
Die Pferde stehn schon angespannt,
Wir ziehen in ein fremdes Land.
Exit Scene Six
The immigrants were taken to Odessa where they boarded a train from Bremen in Germany. Upon arrival, they were required to pass a health exam before a ship ticket was issued to them. Following the exam, they were separated, mothers with young children, fathers with sons, and then everyone was given rooms, dormitory style, in a settlement house. There they awaited departure.
Enter Scene Seven
While waiting, there was time to contemplate their decision. Think of the apprehension and sadness, as well as excitement connected with such a move. Listen now as this pioneer sings his farewell in the form of this old German ballad:
Song: Die Lorelei
(The Lorelei)
I cannot discover the reason
I feel so sad today,
Some myth of the earliest ages,
I cannot drive it away.
The air is cool, it is evening,
The Rhine flows slowly by,
The peak of the mountain glitters
Against the evening sky.
Ich weiss nicht, was soll es be deuten,
Dass ich so traurig bin;
ein Märchen aus alten Zeiten,
das kommt mir nicht aus dem Sinn.
Die Luft ist kühl und es dunkelt,
und ruhig fliesst der Rhein:
der Gipfel des Berges funkelt im Abendsonnenschein.
Exit Scene Seven
German Russian immigrants purchased steerage tickets because they were less expensive than first- or second-class tickets. This meant they were on the lowest level of the ship with 1,000 other passengers, slept in narrow beds, and felt every movement of the ship as it crossed the ocean.
The families had prepared fresh sausage and zweiback to take along on their journey. Nothing, however, could prepare them for the motion sickness, poor ventilation, and stark fear they encountered on their voyage. Certainly they were asking themselves whether life in the new land was worth the misery they had to endure to get there. They had abandoned the clean, predictable life in Kassel to ride a crowded, filthy train to Bremen, live in a dormitory, and then spend many days on the ocean coping with nausea, lice, poor drinking water, and frightened children. It was a grateful group of travelers offering prayers of thanksgiving when land was finally sighted.
The Meidinger family arrived at the port of New York aboard the S.S. Werra on October 18, 1884.
Friedrich was 25. His young bride was 22.
Once in America, they realized they could not communicate properly in English. They quickly learned a few essential words, such as yes, no, ticket, and Dakota.
Their destination was not complete, however, until they boarded
yet another train to carry them to Chicago and on through to Yankton
in Dakota where they were met by their relatives from Tripp.

K-League Preview: Ulsan eye Steelers revenge, Jeonbuk host Busan
The 2014 K-League campaign kicks off with a repeat of last season's title decider as champions Pohang Steelers host Ulsan.
Pohang travelled to Ulsan on the final day of the 2013 term two points adrift of their opponents at the top of the table, knowing only a win would be enough to earn their fifth K-League Classic crown.
And they achieved that feat in the most dramatic way possible, as defender Won-Il Kim struck in the 95th minute to hand them a 1-0 victory.
Ulsan lost both their last two games to throw away a five-point advantage going into the penultimate round of fixtures, as Pohang won their final six matches to snatch the title.
However, Min-Kook Cho's men have an opportunity to gain a measure of revenge when they visit Steelyard Stadium for this season's curtain-raiser on Saturday.
Meanwhile, Jeonbuk Motors who finished third last term, get their campaign under way at home to Busan I'Park and will be confident of a positive result having beaten their opponents in their last four meetings.
Gyeongnam will be counting their blessings after narrowly missing the drop last term, and they entertain Seongnam, who finished top of the relegation round, on Sunday.
Sangju Sangmu earned promotion to the top flight courtesy of their relegation play-off success against Gangwon, and they begin life in the K-League at home to Incheon United, who ended last season in dismal form - winning just one of their final 13 games.
FC Seoul, who won the 2012 K-League Classic title, will be targeting an improvement on their fourth-placed finish last year and they entertain Jeonnam Dragons on Saturday, while this weekend's other match sees Suwon Bluewings travel to Jeju United.

Technical Implementation Notice 12-33 Amended
National Weather Service Headquarters Washington DC
1110 AN EDT Tue Jul 31 2012
To: Subscribers:
-Family of Services
-NOAA Weather Wire Service
-Emergency Managers Weather Information Network
-Other NWS Partners, Users and Employees
From: Timothy McClung
Chief, Science Plans Branch
Office of Science and Technology
Subject: Amended Date: Impact on Downstream Jobs When a Cycle
of Short Range Ensemble Forecast System Is Missing
Effective August 21, 2012
Amended to reschedule the implementation to Tuesday, August 21, 2012,
to allow for additional testing of the upgrade to the Short Range
Ensemble Forecast System (NWS TIN 12-30).
On or about Tuesday, August 21, 2012, beginning with the 1500
Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) run, the National Centers for
Environmental Prediction's (NCEP) Short Range Ensemble Forecast
System (SREF) will be updated. See NWS TIN 12-30 for specific details
about this SREF upgrade.
Due to the current high resource usage on the supercomputers run by
NCEP, this updated SREF system can only be run in its defined time
window. In the event that the NCEP production suite is delayed for
any reason, the SREF may not be run for a given cycle to preserve the
timeliness of other NCEP models. In this situation, no SREF output
products will be disseminated and that cycle will not be rerun at a
later time. The SREF will remain in this configuration until the
upgrade to the next supercomputers in late 2013. We apologize for
any inconvenience this causes.
Listed below are the impacts to customers of missing a SREF cycle,
including effects to downstream products that use the SREF as input:
1.Dissemination: No SREF products for that cycle will be
disseminated. This includes NOAAPORT, the NWS and NCEP FTP servers,
the Model Analysis and Guidance (MAG) Webpage
and the Real-Time NOAA Operational Model Archive and Distribution
System (NOMADS)
2. MDL's Gridded LAMP: When SREF data are missing for a particular
cycle, it will automatically use a previous cycle's SREF data as
3. DNG-NAM smartinit: When SREF data are missing for a NAM DNG cycle,
the DNG codes will use the Global Ensemble Forecast System (GEFS) to
generate the probability of precipitation fields.
4. HREF: When SREF data are missing for a cycle, it will be treated
as a 2-member (hiresw NMM and ARW) ensemble.
5. SPC-SREF: If a SREF cycle is missing Storm Prediction Center (SPC)
post-processing does not activate and SREF-based grids and products
are not updated until the next available SREF cycle. This would also

"Go home to thy friends, and tell them how great things the Lord hath done for
thee, and hath had compassion on thee." Mark 5:19
Suggested Further Reading: 2 Kings 7:3-9
First, tell it truthfully. Do not tell more than you know; do not tell John
Bunyan's experience, when you ought to tell your own. Do not tell your mother
you have felt what only Rutherford felt. Tell her no more than the truth. Tell
your experience truthfully; for perhaps one single fly in the pot of ointment
will spoil it, and one statement you may make which is not true may ruin it
all. Tell the story truthfully.
In the next place, tell it very humbly. I have said that before. Do not
intrude yourselves upon those who are older, and know more; but tell your
story humbly; not as a preacher, not ex-cathedra, but as a friend and as a
Next, tell it very earnestly. Let them see you mean it. Do not talk about
religion flippantly; you will do no good if you do. Do not make puns on texts;
do not quote Scripture by way of joke: if you do, you may talk till you are
dumb, you will do no good, if you in the least degree give them occasion to
laugh by laughing at holy things yourself. Tell it very earnestly.
And then, tell it very devoutly. Do not try to tell your tale to man till you
have told it first to God. When you are at home on Christmas Day, let no one
see your face till God has seen it. Be up in the morning, wrestle with God;
and if your friends are not converted, wrestle with God for them; and then you
will find it easy work to wrestle with them for God. Seek, if you can, to get
them one by one, and tell them the story. Do not be afraid; only think of the
good you may possibly do.
For meditation: Many of us will be with unconverted friends or relatives over
Christmas. May Spurgeon's four points help each of us to speak of "the Son of
God, who loved me, and gave himself for me" (Galatians 2:20).
Sermon no. 109 / 21 December (1856) – Charles Spurgeon

A High Point man who was recently released from prison is back behind bars after Thomasville detectives allege he robbed the Bank of North Carolina.
A High Point man who was recently released from prison is back behind bars after Thomasville detectives allege he robbed the Bank of North Carolina at 831 Julian Ave. on Nov. 16.
Kelvin James Crosby, 31, of 409C Taylor St., has been charged with robbery with a dangerous weapon. High Point Police have also charged Crosby in connection to a bank robbery that occurred Nov. 6 at the BB&T on Westchester Drive in High Point.
Crosby, who the N.C. Department of Correction stated was failing to meet conditions of his state probation from Guilford County, was arrested in Atlanta by U.S. Marshals and extradited back to High Point where he was served with the outstanding warrants Wednesday. Crosby was being held in the Guilford County Jail in High Point under no bond Thursday after being charged with common law robbery, robbery with a dangerous weapon and a probation violation.
TPD Det. Sgt. Brad Saintsing said Crosby entered the Bank of America in Thomasville prior to the Bank of North Carolina robbery Nov. 16. Detectives, the sergeant said, believe security windows discouraged him from attempting to rob the bank, and he proceeded to the Bank of North Carolina, where around 9:45 a.m. he presented a note to a teller demanding cash. The teller complied, and Crosby left with an undisclosed amount of cash, Saintsing said.
An employee exited the bank and told residents in the parking lot that a man had just robbed the bank. Residents, Saintsing said, gave Crosby a short chase and noticed him getting into a vehicle in the parking lot of the Mighty Dollar on Julian Avenue.
Surveillance video, Saintsing said, assisted with Thomasville Police identifying Crosby as the suspect. Crosby was released from prison Sept. 9 after being convicted of common law robbery in Forsyth, Guilford and Davidson counties in 2010. Crosby was arrested in December 2009 for robbing banks in Thomasville, High Point and Winston-Salem.
Crosby is scheduled to appear in court in Davidson County on Dec. 19.
Anyone with additional information concerning the recent robbery at the Bank of North Carolina in Thomasville is asked to contact Thomasville Crime Stoppers at 476-TIPS (8477) or Thomasville Police at 475-4286.

"Whether they come from big cities or small, from far away or near, Wabash men are shaped by Wabash and Crawfordsville—this little college in this little town," writes Wabash College President Patrick White in "My Town," the latest issue of Wabash Magazine. This edition of the College's journal celebrates small towns and "the power of coming to know the world face-to-face in small places."
"To worry about the fate of small places in the world is not mere nostalgia or romanticism," White adds. "It reveals an understanding of what the human spirit needs to thrive. Whether our village is a small town, or a neighborhood in a huge city, or a small college with an international student body, the human imagination thrives on the local, the up-close, the personal."
And, as the several articles in "My Town" illustrate, that ability to relate to the world one person at a time, as nurtured in these small communities, enables Wabash students and alumni to feel at home in the world and to make a difference wherever they live.
"They learn to walk the campus as the place they own and are responsible for, and to travel out into the town of Crawfordsville and beyond with eyes made ready to see the world as a knowable space—a place that has a claim on their attention, their loyalty, and their affections," White says.
"My Town" features articles and photo essays by Wabash alumni, students, faculty, and staff celebrating small places, from Wabash junior Gary James' essay about his friendships and favorite spots in Crawfordsville, to alumnus Tom Florsheim's photographs of small town India, Italy, and New Mexico in "The World on a Human Scale," to Professor Steve Webb's essay on Indiana basketball in "Gyms and the Making of Small-Town America. Student photographs and writing from recent immersion and service trips throughout the country and around the world reveal that living in a close-knit learning community at Wabash translates into more thoughtful and meaningful interaction the places they travel.
As recently graduated Wabash senior Homer Twigg writes of re-roofing a house in New Orleans during a mission trip last spring with Wabash students and members of a Crawfordsville church: "Standing on the roof today gave me a new perspective of the city. Today I saw lawns being mowed, people riding bikes, flowers being planted, and old women standing outside just talking to one another. The neighborhood was coming back. You can't get the materials for that at Home Depot, and no federal loan can bring it back."
As the print edition of the magazine arrives on campus and in alumni, student, and faculty and staff mailboxes, Wabash Online Magazine offers those stories and more in photo, video, and audio presentations.
Wabash Online Magazine designer and editor Kim Johnson also has created a space for readers to share their own thought on small town living and creating community.

The Solar Electric Light Fund (SELF) has installed 100 solar-powered street lamps in Haitian refugee camps Pétionville and Caradeux. Almost two years after a 7.0 magnitude earthquake rocked Haiti taking over 700,000 lives and leaving millions homeless, the country is still struggling to rebuild its infrastructure. Neighborhood redevelopment has accounted for the relocation of some refugees, but 23,000 still live at Pétionville, and many thousands more are in camps vulnerable to landslides, fire, flooding, and high incidents of violence. While renewable energy can't solve all of these dilemmas, solar-powered street lamps make it possible for children to study, for dinner to be made, and for card games to be played well after the sun sets.
SELF, the Washington, DC-based nonprofit, has been using renewable energy to provide light and power to rural medical clinics in Haiti since before the quake, and they were invited to extend their platform with the help of funding from the Inter-American Development Bank.
"We believe that energy is a human right and that access to it is essential to achieving the Millennium Development Goals," said Bob Freling, Executive Director of SELF in a press release.
As post-earthquake Haiti is slowly being rebuilt, women are more vulnerable to sexual assault and violence has increased across the country. Amnesty International has reported that women are at serious risk of sexual attack, and rape survivors continue to arrive at the office of a local women's support group almost every day. Police surveillance hasn't been proven to deter sexual violence, but according to SELF and J/P HRO, as soon as the street lamps went up in August, reported acts of violence (including sexual assault) declined drastically from about one a day to one a week.
Hurricane resistant, tamper-proof, and otherwise sturdy street lamps installed at the camps require minimal maintenance. The larger model streetlamp, procured from Port-au-Prince's Green Energy Solutions, is 20 feet tall with photovoltaic modules on top and two sealed gel batteries inside a secure box connected to high-powered LED lamps. Once the camps are dispersed, the solar street lamps will be moved to other areas. Although the lighting is temporary, its positive impact is permanent and includes diminished crime rates, more time for kids to study, increased commerce, neighborhood camaraderie, and hope for the camp's many residents.

Assemblyman John Ceretto joined Gov. Andrew Cuomo and State Sen. George Maziarz to announce an agreement between the state of New York and the Seneca Nation concerning the dispute over $600 million of withheld gaming revenues. The Senecas will pay the City of Niagara Falls $89 million - 100 percent of the money the city is owed.
Ceretto issued the following statement:
"This agreement between the state and the Seneca Nation is great news for Western New York and Niagara Falls. My top concern was that Niagara Falls receive the money that it is rightfully owed. Niagara Falls desperately needs this infusion of money to improve its economy and create jobs. This agreement accomplishes that goal, and I am happy to endorse it. The people of Western New York expect their leaders to get things done, and today, we have delivered results."

From Shopbot Wiki
ShopBot Wiki
Welcome to the ShopBot project wiki, a resource for all kinds of information on using your ShopBot CNC tool and making things with it. Anyone can read any of the information that's here, but wikis really work best when everyone adds to them. You'll need to create an account to edit or add to the wiki but it's free and easy to do by clicking the "log in/create account" button in the upper right corner. If you're new to working with wikis you can find some Help here and try things out in the Test Sandbox. Also check the Community Portal occasionally for notices and tips on working with the wiki.
We've broken things down into what we think (hope!) are logical categories below so feel free to browse around and PLEASE add to or edit any information that you find that you think could use some improvement. As with all new projects there are lots of empty sections in the beginning, but we hope you'll help us quickly fill it in.

LONG BEACH, Calif. - At halftime of its game at Long Beach State Thursday night, UC Santa Barbara trailed the 49ers by 11 points, 37-26.
With 16:09 to go in the game, the Gauchos trailed by 11 points, 45-34.
With 14:13 remaining, , they trailed by 11 points, 48-37.
With 11:55 to go, UCSB trailed by 11 points, 53-42.
With 10:03 on the clock, the 49ers led by 11 points, 57-46.
When Long Beach guard Ron Johnson hit a layup, was fouled and made a free throw, he once again put his team up by 11 with 8:41 left in the game, 60-49.
At that point, Gaucho head coach Bob Willliams called a timeout and UCSB proceeded to divert from the script.
Santa Barbara senior guard LaRon Bryant drilled a three-pointer from the left side to cut the Long Beach lead to 60-52. After 49er center Travis Reed was fouled and made one free throw, the Gauchos went back to work. Senior Juliano Jordani was fouled inside and made one of two free throws to narrow the gap to 61-53. Twenty-two seconds later, junior forward Mike Vukovich hit sophomore forward Mark Hull with a pass on the baseline and Hull pulled up and made a ten-foot jumper, narrowing the 49er lead to six, 61-55.
The six-point deficit with 6:50 left in the game was the closest UCSB had been since they trailed by four with just over three minutes to go in the first half, but they didn't stop there.
A short jump hook by Vukovich made the score 61-57 with 6:32 left and it forced Long Beach coach Wayne Morgan to call timeout and at that point, UCSB freshman guard Nick Jones took over.
Jones hit a 15 foot jumper that pulled the Gauchos to within two, 61-59, with 5:47 left. After a 49er turnover, it was Jones again, drilling a 12 footer in the lane to tie the score, 61-61. Long Beach forward Kevin Roberts stopped the bleeding momentarily when he scored on a follow with 3:57 left, giving LBSU its final lead of the game, 63-61.
With 3:07 to go, another UCSB freshman, guard Branduinn Fullove, tried to lob the ball into Vukovich, but the pass went awry and hit the rim, Jones didn't miss a beat as he knifed in, recovered the ball and made a short fallaway shot inside the lane, knotting the game at 63-63 with 3:07 on the clock.
On the other end, Long Beach tried to force the ball inside, but they were unable to do so and UCSB's B.J. Ward came up with the fumble, pushed the ball up the court and with 2:21 left, got the ball to Vukovich, who scored on a layup, giving UCSB its first lead since the score was 19-18 with just over ten minutes to go in the first half.
LBSU then got the ball back inside to Reed and as the junior center backed in and forced a short turnaround. Vukovich wrapped-up the 48-percent free throw shooter, sending him to the line for a pair. Reed, who was 0-for-8 from the free throw line against the Gauchos two weeks earlier, missed both ends of the two-shot foul with 1:59 and the Gauchos came up with the rebound.
Reed returned the favor on the Gaucho offensive end of the floor, fouling Vukovich. Vukovich, however, did not repeat Reed's feat, making both free throws instead to give his team a four-point lead, 67-63.
After a missed jumper by Ramel Lloyd, it was Jones' turn again. Fullove found the Oxnard native on the right baseline and Jones blew past his defender, for a layup. He was also fouled by LBSU's Ron Johnson and he hit the free throw to give UCSB a 70-63 lead with 1:04 left in the game. At that point, it became a parade to the free throw line as the 49ers intentionally fouled every time the Gauchos took possession of the ball.
Another freshman, guard Jacoby Atako, was the first to go to the line and he hit a pair with 0:45 remaining in the game, giving UCSB its biggest lead of the game, 72-63, and completing an amazing 23-3 run that led to the Gauchos first win in seven tries at LBSU's Pyramid, 78-71.
Jones led four Gauchos in double-figures, tying career-highs with 19 points and seven rebounds. Fullove added 14 points, six rebounds and three assists. He also made five-of-six free throws down the stretch to ice the victory. Vukovich had 14 points, five rebounds and three blocked shots. Hull added 12 points, seven rebounds and a career-high five assists.
After making only 33.3% of its shots in the first half, UCSB drilled 14-of-23 in the second half, an outstanding 60.9%, to finish at 45.3% for the game. In addition, the Gauchos hit 26-of-31 from the free throw line, 83.9%. Long Beach State, on the other hand, shot just 40.6% from the field and 47.4% from the free throw line. They were paced by senior guard Ramel Lloyd, who scored a game-high 25 points, 18 of which came in the first half when he nailed all four of his three-pointers.
With the victory, UCSB has now won two games in a row. The Gauchos are now 4-4 in Big West play and 7-11 overall. The win also snapped LBSU's four-game winning streak.
Santa Barbara will close out its two-game road trip on Saturday night when they travel to Stockton for a 7:00 p.m. game against Pacific.

The original leading man bowed out last minute. The production start date was pushed back a month. But neither of those is the main reason why fans of "Fifty Shades of Grey" will have to wait longer than expected for the film to hit theaters.
Universal Pictures moved the release date for the erotic romance from next summer to Valentine's Day 2015, Entertainment Weekly reports. Originally scheduled to open Aug. 1, "Fifty Shades" faced stiff competition with the opening of Marvel's "Guardians of the Galaxy" and the World Cup playing out that summer.
"We see this movie as a global event," Universal Pictures chairman Donna Langley told Entertainment Weekly. "The strength of this book is really worldwide, so we want to be able to take advantage of women who are invariably on vacation with their families during the month of August in Europe."
Plus, this gives the film a fighting chance at an opening weekend win — it's up against Nicholas Sparks' "The Longest Ride."
Langley also told Entertainment Weekly that the date change likely would have happened even without casting and production changes. Charlie Hunnam walked away from the lead role of Christian Grey in mid-October. Irish actor Jamie Dornan is the new leading man, who was given extra time to prep for the role, prompting a one-month production delay in Vancouver.

If you're in the mood for watching a movie but can't decide what to watch, give Movielator a try. The Windows Phone app was recently released to the Store and will randomly pull up movie titles as suggestions on what to watch. The results are based on genre or you can just randomly generate recommendations across the board from all genres.
Movielator will generate a selection of twelve movie titles that you can read a short synopsis of to help you narrow down your search. The app reminds me of those food apps that generate random recipes or resturaunts when you just can't decide what you're in the mood for.
Movielator taps into Wikipedia for the selection and titles have a wide date range. An action movie search generated everything from 1960's James Bond movies to the more recent Transformers movies. Not seeing many new releases, Movielator may be better suited for a quiet movie at home than finding one in the local theater.
Movielator is a free, ad supported app for your Windows Phone that you can find here in the Windows Phone Store.

Our Fitness Blog
How Long Does it Take?
The first thing people often want to know is: "How fast will I see results when I start a new fitness program?"
This is kind of a loaded question, because your beginning fitness level will have much to do with this. Also, how much "oooph" you put into your workouts, as well as your nutrition habits will play a major part in it.
But, the FUN NEWS is this: your body's strength improves faster than most people expect!
Don't get me wrong...fitness is a journey that never ends and you don't lose 100 pounds in 12 weeks like some popular TV shows make it seem. But, strength is the first step in fitness and for many when they see strength increase, it's the most incredible thing for them. It's life changing, because it's so encouraging. This was my experience when I first got really "into" fitness. I was doing all lunges with just my body weight and thought it was the hardest thing EVER! Yet within less than two weeks I felt the need to add dumbbells to my lunges. That's fairly fast improvement.
This was the moment that I was hooked on fitness and the addiction of bettering myself.
Hey, as addictions go, I think it's a darn good one to have!
9Round is exactly one week into our 1,000 push up challenge and I've gotten a few people on board who originally were ANTI-push ups! Since that one week started, one person told me that she can't believe how much stronger she has gotten in just this one week! She started with all 40 push ups a day on her knees and even at that point, it was a struggle….Now just a week later, she is up to 10 full push ups on her toes and the remainder on her knees. Amazing! She is so excited!
What is important to remember is, you need to continue to aim for a little more toughness as you get stronger. For instance, if you've been working on your push ups on your knees and it's gotten easy, guess what? It's time to go up on the toes! You aren't doing yourself any favors by continuing to do what is already easy. How fast will it get easier?
Faster than you think, but only if you are consistent.
Prevent plateaus by focusing on getting stronger.
One way to make sure you constantly focus on getting stronger is to constantly focus on form. Form has become a slight obsession of mine, but it is only because I notice that the more I focus on perfecting form, the more quickly I become stronger.
Some examples of form that are game changers are:
- Keeping the chin from dropping down during push ups
- Keeping the chest up while doing lunges and squats
- Keeping your hips down while doing planks or mountain climbers
If you add these suggestions into your workouts, you'll probably immediately notice that exercises you had "gotten used to" are suddenly much harder! That's good though!
Why? Because: fitness is a total body experience.
There is almost no exercise that doesn't involve multiple, if not all of, your muscles.
Keeping your chest up on lunges and squats will make you notice how much your core and back are involved in these moves when properly done. This burns more calories and tones more muscles, so it is worth the initial discomfort. After a short time of initial discomfort, the exercise actually gets easier! Try any of the above for just two weeks and see how quickly your body adapts and get addicted to progress!
What can you accomplish in just two weeks?

I realized, as Dwight and I were talking about putting together more of our treasures, I probably had never shared with you some of the pages from Grandpa Wasden's Yellowstone N.P journal. I have transcribed the complete journal and will be sending out copies "soon". Just to make this a part of the record, I thought you might enjoy seeing his handwriting. See if it is legible when you click on the pages.

I can pick out a few words. It seems to me that this was not a very long journal. There is a letter from Uncle Brooks where he relates his experience of taking a team of horses to the Park to Grandpa. Does everyone have that? (And where did I put mine?)

Was it your years as a court clerk that made it possible for you to transcrib this journal. That will be quite a work when it is done. Thank you!!!
