Biology is the study of living organisms. It's all about life! That's the point the biological honor society Beta Beta Beta (Tri-Beta) is setting out to make – the biological sciences is more than just science it is about people.
Students who major in biological sciences go into many different disciplines. Tri-Beta aims to nurture future professionals who approach their work compassionately.
"In order for you to see what is needed for life and how many people are in need you have to see it firsthand in hopes of being able to integrate that experience in your future career," said Luis Valderrama, a senior majoring in biology and co-president of Tri-Beta.
The Pi Xi Chapter of Tri-Beta was established in 2008 at FIU. Roughly 400 Betas have been inducted with an average of 40-50 new members per academic year.
Inviting parasitologists Paul Sharp to speak about spooky brain eating parasites at one of their bi-weekly, faculty lead meetings in October is one of the ways the group is capturing the attention of their members. Throughout the semester they also host a variety of collaborative socials and mission trips with organizations like Pre-Student Osteopathic Medical Association (Pre-SOMA) and Minority Association of Pre-Medical Students (M.A.P.S.).
Working to provide resources, and new interpretations of the biological sciences is at the core of the organization. One of Tri-Beta's most important values, though, is also helping enhance and promote the development of local communities both near and far.
In the past year, they have collaborated with Miami Medical Team and Habitat for Humanity where they helped rebuild destroyed houses after Hurricane Katrina. They pack school lunches with the nonprofit organization Second Harvest and work in the soup kitchens at the Salvation Army. This semester alone they have assisted in planting new plants at the FIU Nature Preserve and served with local homeless groups in downtown Miami through an outreach program called Project Downtown every Friday.
"We really try to incorporate service into our organization," said Xristian Carvajal, a senior majoring in biology and co-president of Tri-Beta. "In order to be an active member you have to attend at least four community service events per semester."
In November, in collaboration with Pre-SOMA and M.A.P.S., a group of the students attended a mission trip to Bradenton, Florida; they worked with the non-profit organization Remote Area Medical (RAM) to establish a mobile medical clinic that provides locals with free medical and dental assistance.
"The trip was a gratifying experience," said Piera Sosa, senior majoring in biology and member of Tri-Beta. "It helped all of us get a feel for how healthcare providers can play such a vital role in the well-being of our society."
About three times a week, Tri-Beta holds a bake sale in the Graham Center to raise money for an upcoming mission trip to Orlando in December.
"In getting that first-hand experience, volunteering shows our members – especially the people who want to become doctors – bedside manner when dealing with patients," said Carvajal. "When we help feed the homeless, sometimes they get irritated and just want their meal. It's good that our members learn that you have to be patient and kind."
The Orlando trip is a week full of volunteering every day from 6:30 am to 6 pm, except for Sunday. The itinerary includes working with organizations such as Clean the World, where they will be taking soaps and shampoos left over from hotels to create packages to send out, not only in the United States, but to other counties with people who are in need.
In addition to Clean the World, they'll also be working with Hands On Miami, Orlando Union, Second Harvest and the Salvation Army.
In order to attend the trip, members must obtain 13 points that include attending meetings, community service, fundraising, social and spirit events. The president's hopes to make it easy to collect points by hosting a variety of these events throughout the week.
"Every activity and event I've attended with Tri-Beta has been rewarding," said Sosa. "From fundraisers to mission trips. I've learned a lot and met many people who inspire me to continue to work hard to achieve my goals."

Fall Activities for Dogs 2017
This shop has been compensated by Collective Bias, Inc. and its advertiser. All opinions are mine alone. #ProtectFromPetMess #SeasonalSolutions #CollectiveBias
Hello & Happy Monday!!
As a full time student for over 6 years, I was elated to finally get a puppy! Having a job that enables me to stay at home and spend the entire day with my dog Burt, I am forever grateful. Today I can't imagine leaving my fur baby at home, because he makes my day that much better!
Needless to say, he is SO spoiled lol
As a new dog mom and fall almost in full swing, I thought I would compile a "Day in the Life of Burt", followed by tips, tricks and recommendations for fun outdoor activities to do with your pup during my favorite time of the year.
Since we're all about food in this family, we always opt to eat outside. (see picture above)
If there is an outdoor patio, we're eating, and if we're eating, Burt is too lol.
(there are many apps to navigate pet friendly dining options!)
My name is Burt.
His typical day starts with breakfast, a long walk, sleeping while mom works, and then a snack. Since he breaks out into hives or a rash at a moments notice for no apparent reason, I like to make his treats. One of his favorites is dehydrated sweet potato! They are naturally sweet, have no additives, chewy, and keep him busy while mom is cooking up a storm. My favorite part about my job is that of course it's food, food, food all day long. 99% of what I make I get to share it with him, and 99.9% of the time he actually eats it without hesitation. I love that he embraces new foods even more than I do lol.
While Burt is only 10 months he was potty trained early at only 5ish months. That's like a homerun with dog training! However, we've run into problems with him dragging in dirt, rain, snow, leaves from outside and tracking food onto the new rug and carpet. My fave foods happened to be bright colored from beets to tomatoes, cabbage and more. That being said, if I ever give some to Burt he instantly runs off to enjoy it on the rug or the one room we have with carpet. Needless to say, we need products that work and the STAINMASTER®™ Carpet Pet Stain Remover from Target is a life saver.
For moments like these, Stainmaster Pet Stain Remover works seamlessly to mitigate germs and has the ability to prevent future stains by leaving an invisible shield to repel dirt to protect the surface.
Stainmaster is Great for common pet stains like urine, vomit, and feces (all the wonderful things) and also everyday stains like coffee, grape juice, jelly, chocolate syrup, ketchup, and soil. It leaves behind an invisible shield to repel dirt to protect against re-soiling and no sticky residue!
Follow Stainmaster on social media:
If there is one thing I love about the fall, it's the plethora of apples. I know going apple picking or to pumpkin farms has evolved to be somewhat cliche on social media. However, if there is somewhere outdoors that I can bring my dog and it involves food, I'm all about it! Pick apples for recipes and make an experience out of it versus picking some up at the market. Be sure to check rules and regulations before making the trip!
Since Frenchies can't handle the heat too well, I love going to the local farmer's market in the fall! Although Burt can be a struggle at times when I get in the zone and need to browse, but he loves to tag along as their is always other dogs there. The masses of people always gets him excited and there are sometimes animal products from local vendors making it a win win. Even if all I walk away with is fresh flowers, because nothing else grabs my attention, I love the energy at markets and being able to support local businesses. Be sure to check online as there should be multiple markets over the weekends in your area!
If you're in the mood to dine outside and play with your pup, a picnic is a wonderful idea! You can pack everything from dog food, treats, toys (and wine lol) and meet other pet owners to make for a perf afternoon outdoors. I love this option as it's great to dine out on a patio and have someone bring you food, but I love to make my own food and be able to really have Burt be a part of the experience versus him sitting by our table. Highly recommend!
In New York City the Halloween Dog Parade in the west village is a BIG DEAL. Pet owners go to great lengths to really immerse themselves in the tradition of dressing up their pets and create some of the most eye catching costumes. Check your local city to see if they are hosting one and dress up your pup to celebrate the holiday, socialize, and meet other dogs!
Although I'm not a big drinker, I'm a big outdoors person and find any excuse or reason to get outside with Burt when the weather permits. Beer gardens typically are dog friendly and cater to pets by offering fresh bowls of water and even dog treats. There are always lots of other dog owners there so its a great way to relax, socialize, and let your pup make friends.
Don't have time to make the trek to any of those options? Don't stress! From throwing the ball outside, to hiking or even just letting them jump in a pile of leaves there are endless options. Just make sure to get outside and enjoy this beautiful weather before it's gone!

I wish I found this last week when trying to think of ideas for cupcakes for my coworker. Reynolds (yes as in the aluminum foil) has a cool create a cup cake feature that lets you pick a cake and how you'll frost and/or decorate it and then gives you the recipe!
What does Reynolds have to do with cupcakes you ask? Well they make all sorts of cupcake liners, including the liners I used last week, the stay brite baking cups. Even when baking red velvet cake, they didn't lose their color or become transparent.
There's a couple ideas here I cannot wait to try!

Somebody gave me an opened bag of Dektol, seems pretty full. I was wondering if there's a way to know if I can still use it? the person that gave it to me didn't know why it was opened to begin with. It expires next year. Toss? try to make a working solution and make less than the gallon?
Thank you in advance for any advice!

Sneak-peek at Adult and Graduate Admissions Research
It shouldn't be a newsflash, but a good reminder – the higher education landscape is continuing to change
Enrollment is not just about the 18 to 24 year-old student anymore. Although we have seen significant enrollment increases in the non-traditional population in the last few years, The National Center for Education Statistics projects even more change and opportunity — a 21% increase by 2025.
Enrollment planning for non-traditional programs can vary greatly between the type of non-traditional student (adult, graduate, international, etc.) and also from traditional undergraduate admissions. For example, advertising budgets, student recruitment strategies, and follow-up methods of inquiries are just a few things that will be different when working with these programs.
PS&L conducted Adult and Graduate Admissions research to learn more about how different institutions are preparing and planning to capture a piece of this market. Here are some initial observations from our research that we will further explore in our final report:
- A little over half of the adult degree completion respondents have an advertising budget of $100,000 or greater while half of graduate program respondents have an advertising budget of less than $75,000
- Most (80%) of adult programs offer CLEP credit. Only 26% of graduate programs offer CLEP credit
- A personalized email is the most common follow-up method for an initial inquiry
- Most offices are following up with inquiries, either by phone or email, within 24 hours
- The number of sites/campuses does not directly correspond to the number of FTE recruiting staff
- There are opportunities for more ad retargeting, geo-fencing, and SEO in promoting
- Only half of the respondents are utilizing landing pages or microsites in adult degree completion programs and only 44% in graduate programs
Come back soon to read our full report of observations from Adult and Graduate Admissions!

Wouldn't it be great to lay out a huge circle in some open field, measure the diameter and circumference (string or rope would have to be laid along the circle first), and see how close we get to the value of π? School children should do this at least once in their K-8 years.
Students are often asked to evaluate C/d for "round" objects they could find around the house. While the first decimal place can usually be attained, it is pretty difficult to get the second decimal place correct. Inaccuracies typically arise because students attempt to surround the object with a tape measure (too stiff, a cloth measure is better, but still not easy), or to roll the object one complete revolution along a straight line (it will almost always slip). Probably the best suggestion is to surround the object with masking tape (never surround it with anything elastic). It forms a nice fit; it can be well marked, and then cut and straightened to get a good measurement of the circumference. Students must also remember that the diameter is generally the "outer" diameter (because that is what the making tape extends to). This will produce good results, but it would be great to go outside and make a really large circle.
It is worth pointing out that this MathLab (i.e., optimally, going outside and making a large circle) regards the actual definition of π (π = C/d). Activities such as folding a circle, cutting it, and "almost" forming a parallelogram (or rectangle) to determine its area (which is then compared to the circle area formula A = πr^2) is a nice activity for approximating π via an indirect means, but generally can be performed in class or as an ordinary assignment.
Q. The question is simply, "What is the ratio C/d of the circumference C of a circle to the circle's diameter d?"
R. The answer is provided by actually measuring, as finely as possible, the circumference and diameter of as good (and as large!) a circle as possible.
V. Of course, the value of π (a transcendental irrational number beginning in 3.14159265…) is known today to over a trillion decimal places, by way of analytical means. So, the results can be judged immediately.

The 2017 "GLM 40 Edition" highlights Tumeric in Food. Turmeric is an herbaceous perennial plant of the ginger family, which is ground into a deep-orange-yellow powder commonly used as a food coloring and flavoring agent in many Asian cuisines, especially for curry powders. Turmeric powder has a warm, bitter, pepper-like flavor and earthy, mustard-like aroma. Turmeric should definitely have a place in our pantry because there are so many ways it enhances delicious dishes with an exotic edge. Not only tasty but there are the benefits of this spice including controlling blood sugar levels, anti-inflammatory properties, mood-boosting and weight management. Turmeric is known to stop swelling, kill bacteria and viruses, as well as many other things. Because of all the ways turmeric can help your health, adding this herb to your diet is a great idea. We are proud to recognize Tumeric in the area of Food for its level of importance in the culinary arts, nutrition, and wellness in the year of 2017!

Barbara Shecter and her editor at the Financial Post ought to be ashamed of themselves. Check out this lovely little stink-bomb chucked at the Toronto Star.
The Toronto Star's new advertising campaign contains the provocative command: Ask Why. But industry watchers are asking why the newspaper chose the same advertising slogan used by Enron Corp., the biggest corporate flameout in recent memory.
"If you're going to put on another man's shoes, you've got to make sure they didn't step in any cow poop," said Ian Mirlin, chief creative officer at MacLaren McCann in Toronto…
But whatever notoriety the slogan may have, it was not enough to dissuade executives at Torstar or their advertising agencies from using it this week as the centrepiece of the newspaper's biggest campaign in nearly a decade.
Star publisher Michael Goldbloom announced the campaign on the front page of the paper this past Saturday. It involves a three-month blitz of advertising on television, radio, in cinemas and on transit billboards.
Very funny. Might as well have made the headline "The Toronto Star has cooties and smells like poo!" The association is obvious; Enron was one of the world's leading energy and communication companies, just like the Toront… ah, nevermind. And Enron's commercials were plastered all over Canadian TV channels, inextricably linking the tagline "Ask Why" with the now-disgraced energy company. Ha ha! Stupid Star.
Lowe Roche, the Star's advertising agency, first made the connection between Ask Why and Enron when it searched for possible copyright infringements on the slogan, said Christina Yu, vice-president and creative director at the agency.
Lowe Roche took the news to the Star, where executives concluded the creative campaign, already under way, should not be altered, said Ms. Yu.
"The biggest thing was Enron was no longer in business [and] the average consumer wouldn't confuse the two brands," she said.
"It was clearly no attempt to try to leverage the brand equity of Enron."
Greg Loewen, vice-president of strategy and marketing at the Star, says Enron's "pretty modest" television campaign was not broadcast in Canada and had nothing to do with the newspaper's effort to rally readers to think about issues like poverty.
"We pretty much concluded it's a non-issue to whether this campaign will be successful in this marketplace," he said.
Back in reality, we find out the Enron commercials didn't air up here, the Star knew about the possible association, and yet they went ahead anyway on the assumption that the majority of their Canadian audience (including yours truly) was basically ignorant of the Enron association. In fact I learned of it only by reading this odious garbage in the Financial Post. Nice. Yet the Post wants to make out like this was the biggest blunder since Dieppe in '44. As if that wasn't enough, look at the closer.
The Star is Toronto's biggest-circulation daily newspaper. In the most recent fiscal quarter, the Star had lower-than-expected advertising linage and revenue, which contributed to lower operating profit at parent Torstar Corp.'s newspaper division.
Anyone who is a regular reader knows that I have no love lost on the Toronto Star, but does any national paper deserve this sort of front-page slagging (FP1, no less) by some other rag's dressed-up business section? I look forward to Ms. Shecter's next work of character assassination, where she will presumably advise HR managers across the nation not to hire anyone — no matter how skilled — unfortunate enough to be named "Kenneth Lay" or "Jeff Skilling".

Please Bake Sale
A local restaurant invited the country's most talented female pastry chefs and winemakers for pop-up brunches and bake sales. Get all the delicious details about these monthly events that are sure to please your palette.
If you love brunch and celebrating women, then the new monthly Please Bake Sales are for you. Located in Over-the-Rhine at the corner of 14th and Clay streets is Please, a low-key restaurant that offers creative food via an a la carte menu or a four-course menu.
To celebrate the city's female pastry chefs and winemakers, the restaurant is hosting bake sales from May through August.
"The Please Bake Sale is part pop-up brunch, part bake sale, and wine celebration featuring exclusively female pastry chefs and winemakers," says Please Owner and Chef Ryan Santos. "The format of the Sunday bake sales will be a little impromptu, you won't know what we're planning until the day before."
Please has already made its mark in the Cincinnati food scene with a unique menu, and an even more unique bathroom, and aims to continue pleasing the taste buds of the city's foodies with its upcoming bake sales.
"What makes this bake sale unique is hands down the talent we're bringing into the city," says Santos. "The top pastry chefs in the country, including Stella Parks of Bravetart in Lexington, Sasha Piligian of sqirl: Los Angeles, Zoe Taylor of milktooth in Indianapolis, Anna posey of Elske in Chicago, and May Erickson of Lang Baan in Portland.
What will be served at these monthly bake sales is completely unknown, as Santos says that he's giving total control up to the ladies visiting the restaurant.
"We're letting these very talented ladies decide what we're serving," he says.
As for when the monthly pastry and brunch selections will be announced, you'll have to tune in on Facebook and Instagram.
Please is located at 1405 Clay Street in Cincinnati.

Volunteer Program to be fully revised for 2016!
2015 has been an amazing year in so many ways at New Day, and we are thankful for the many volunteers who helped make it possible. As we look forward to 2016, the New Day Management Team is in the process of evaluating and updating our Volunteer Program to better meet the evolving needs of our programs as well as to provide the best possible experience for our volunteers. During this process we will not be accepting or processing any volunteer applications. We are excited about the changes that are being considere and will post an update on this site as soon as those plans are finalized. Be sure to check back later in the year to learn more.
Are you thinking about coming to China to volunteer? New Day has a program that's right for you!
Whether you are a baby hugger or a teacher, artsy or organized, we will find a way to put those talents to good use! The best qualifications are a caring heart, a willing spirit and a flexible attitude. If you have those, there is an awesome experience waiting for you here at New Day: a chance to serve in meaningful ways and the opportunity to learn more about your personal calling to service in the future. Volunteers with special skills such as ESL, Education and Medical/Therapy will be given tasks appropriate to their expertise.
New Day is located on the southern outskirts of Beijing, giving you excellent access to the many sights in the Chinese capital – the Great Wall, the Forbidden City, Tiananmen Square and the Summer Palace – as well as great shopping at the Pearl Market, Yashow and WangFuJing.

Need more information? See our FAQ page.
We hope your volunteer plans will include a life changing visit to New Day!
Children: Families are a wonderful part of our volunteer community; however, please consider the following limitations and the needs of your family before applying to come to New Day or including young children in your team. Children must be 11 years old to serve in the Foster Home and children between 11 and 16 must be accompanied by a parent or other adult. Most of our service projects are not appropriate for children younger than eight or ten years old. From September through July, our Little Learners preschool will accept volunteers' children between two and five years old for part day or full day sessions based on space available. There is a small fee for materials. Let us know if you will be using the preschool facility when we prepare your itinerary.

Real Flow + Houdini 12 years, 2 months

I'd like to hear people's experiences using Real Flow and Houdini. Also, how Houdini compares to other options as an environment for post processing sim data - (derived from Realflow or another sim software.) All thoughts welcome.

Houdini skills in Resume? 12 years, 7 months
craig hoffman
craig hoffman
I agree that Houdini isn't very hard to learn compared to all the nested menus/options and hotkeys and scripting needed to learn to become proficient with Maya, but we are fighting against a prejudice that many folks in the industry have had from when they last checked Houdini out around Houdini 2.5. I currently work with some former Animators from CORE who are now back working in Maya and they ALL said they prefer Houdini. That being said, there are far more jobs for Maya users. Why? Maya sold itself well by getting it in colleges and lowering the price and getting a lot of training material out there several years ago. They convinced everyone that it was the best 3D package out there and they tend to support (or are supported by vendors for) many new standards for model/animation format exchange or things like real time rendering whereas Houdini tends to stick it out on their own. Maya arguably was best for character work for a while, but Houdini has grown and passed it by in my opinion and is a far more well rounded package- much better suited for a whole production pipeline. But Houdini is so expensive that many houses won't even look at it (even if it does save time and money by doing things more efficiently and not needing to hire programming TA's for all your MEL tools). And most management doesn't understand these issues enough to get past the Status Quo that keeps Maya on top. Having it on your resume will help if you are trying to break into the Effects world at the better houses that use it, but if you are trying to break into games or character animation you will probably run into people who have never heard of Houdini before. When people ask me what Houdini is I just reply "It is like Maya on steroids with Shake and Renderman rolled in". With Houdini on your reel (if it is quality stuff) you have a much better chance at getting an entry level slot at a high end studio like DD, R&H, Sony, CORE, etc. If you just have Maya FX on your reel, you are more likely to have to stand in a huge line of people just like you and have to compete for slots at lesser studios. Of course it really depends on the reel, but high end studios with Houdini slots open find those positions hard to fill and with decent Houdini skills you might be able to get in the door without a lot of experience, which usually isn't the case at most high end places. After "The Wild" comes out from CORE and the new Houdini book starts getting seen and all the former CORE animators flood back into the other houses and say how great Houdini is, I think we will see more people using it, but there is still a long way to go. Also, look at the Houdini job board and pay attention to jobs posted on this list or the Side Effects forums- a lot of Houdini jobs are filled through this networking than on sites like HighEnd3D. -Craig Hoffman In a message dated 1/16/2006 8:13:56 AM Eastern Standard Time, baq8 at op.pl writes: > Subj:[Sidefx-houdini-list] Houdini skills in Resume? > Date:1/16/2006 8:13:56 AM Eastern Standard Time > From:baq8 at op.pl > Reply-to:sidefx-houdini-list at sidefx.com > To:sidefx-houdini-list at sidefx.com > Sent from the Internet > > > > Hi people! > > There were some post about job, so maybe U are just little tired of > it but I'll just try to ask... > > Just finished all my FX for reel and now I'm in the rendering > process of these, so it can takes two or three months to finish.

Is any one else having trouble with the speed of the compositor in H8-? As soon as my cop net gets even slightly complicated I'm getting an intolerable slow-down in overall performance- I've reverted to building my composites in H7- It seem s to run MUCH faster- I'm getting the same problem on multiple platforms- My primary workstation is: Running linux RH Ent-4 32 bit- kernel 2.6.9-5 Dual Opteron Model 252 2GB DDR400 ECC (2 DIMMS) 2GB DDR400 ECC (2 DIMMS) NVIDIA Quadro FX 4500 512MB G?DDR3 I love to hear that there is a fix for this!

houdini crashes... 13 years
Paul Simpson
Paul Simpson
Hi all, Hope you have all recovered from the xmas/new year onslaught. Quick straw poll: - How many times does Houdini crash per day/week/month? - Does anyone suspect mplay is causing instability? I've found that we've been experiancing more stability problems in the last year than in the previous five years put together. I'm currently at a loss why this could be as we're using the same hardware. Things that have changed are: - moved from redhat 9 (rock solid) to Suse 9 (the two new opensuse10 machines seem much better - but maybe thats because they're new). - new Houdini - is this less stable? - thats all! The only other factor that has been suggested is the video cards. We're using geforce 4200 to geforce 6800 cards. However, I know that other studios also use the lower-end non quadro cards and have been fine in the past. Any ideas/suggestions/rants most welcome. Cheers, Paul

THE WILD 13 years
Jim Rutherford
Jim Rutherford
Hey I finally got a chance to go see The Wild.... Big Kudos to everybody who worked on it....It really looks great and what blew me away most was the sheer volumne of great looking stuff...certainly blows away Narnia... The Hedge trailer played before it and didn't look any better in the the fur category..... Hopefully, we'll hear more about how Houdini got used in this...perhaps some highlights on the sidefx site or something at Siggraph.... okay...so it bombed ....and I couldn't even persuade my 8 and 11 year old to go see it ...even with bribes of chocolate and popcorn....and the script sucked...and the direction was terrible...and the music was overbearing and ridiculous....and I don't think one comedic setup worked in the whole movie.... the animation and look was still wonderful... I remember Phil Tippet once said that he often felt like he was working on the Manhattan Project....All his great work was going into nothing but bombs....

Get chop valueness 13 years, 1 month
Simon Barrick
Simon Barrick
Try chop(string channel) Or chopf or chopt if you want the value at a particular time -----Original Message----- From: Jason Lam [mailto:jason at mindfloss.com.au] Sent: 20 April 2006 17:09 To: sidefx-houdini-list at sidefx.com Subject: [Sidefx-houdini-list] Get chop valueness Hey dudes Thanks all for your help, I have yet another question Basically I want you to be able to walk up to a character, trigger it to perform say frames 1 - 150 of an animation, and then the next time it'll go do the next lot etc. I coould do it with a switch chop and have each clip loaded in sepereately, but I thought I could have it on one mega long sequence, and then play segments of it. So... I want to access the value of a count chop in a script so I can do nifty things based on how many times a given event has happened. So I figure I'll have a logic chop watching my count chop and then in the script I need to query the value of count and on various event numbers I would change the start and end of another count chop which fed into my lookup chop. Actually no I write it out it does seem kind of silly. Anyways, I'm sure it'll be handy to know, so if you could enlighten me as to how to acces the value of a chop that'd be tops. I did try chls which didn't seem to list the count channel for some reason, and ch("/ch/ch1/count3/count/") didn't work either.

Pumptrack Spielberghaus
Whoever pumps, rides better...
In the spring of 2009, Daniel Schäfer, Harald Philipp and hat proprietor Walter personally pitched in to develop the "pumptrack" behind the Spielberghaus with a special sand mixture, a mini-excavator and a great deal of shovelling!
Et voila! Bikers use the pumptrack in order to improve their riding skills and to train their arms, as a safe training area and for a warm-up for final rounds. Who pumps, rides better, safer and longer.
If you are near Kohlmais mountain, you are warmly welcome to ride for one or more extra rounds on the fun pumptrack behind the Spielberghaus.

I moved to Tucson on a whim a little over one year ago, and from day one I've been in absolute awe. This land – where gigantic saguaros dot the landscape, roadrunners zip between the ancient mesquites, and a thick scent of rain permeates the air after a monsoon – is like no other. To say that the Sonoran Desert inspires is an understatement. Without question, some of this inspiration is rooted deep within Baja Arizona's food culture. Food is the thread that weaves together the traditions, histories, and cultures that make the Southwest unique.
Foodies of Tucson is a fun, inclusive column that sheds light on this city of people who are passionate about food. Tucson's love affair with food has made me confident that I can approach random strangers to ask for a recipe close to their heart and, for the most part, receive a positive response. Some controversy has been built up around the term foodie – that it should be reserved only for those with a refined understanding of food, or that it's just a consumerist marketing ploy. But for this series, we'll ignore all of that. A foodie, to me, is someone who views food as more than just a way to relieve hunger; someone with a deep interest in the power that flavors have to teach, connect, and heal.
Every other week I will share a different Tucsonan's recipe and the story behind it. Altogether, I hope to capture the culinary complexity of the Southwest's diverse food culture. I welcome you to try some of these recipes (I know I will!), and share your experience with us. Something to consider: what foods make you, you?
Our journey begins at Tap & Bottle on a crisp (by Tucson standards) October evening. There was a warm buzz in the bar, enough to make one confuse the senses of touch and sound. My eyes fell on two people engrossed in an animated conversation at the end of the bar, and something drew me over. "Excuse me," I said to the man wearing a saguaro-embellished hat with a big grin, "would you consider yourself a foodie?" I was in.
Raul Michel is a self-proclaimed foodie. He claims that he's made friends and ex-lovers pass out from the pure experience of consuming his culinary creations. Far and above his other dishes, Michel is immensely proud of his ceviche recipe. Even the bartender began to salivate as he remembered the time he'd been lucky enough to taste Michel's famous ceviche.
Michel's ceviche tells a story that winds back through the many places he has called home – Tucson, Tijuana, and San Diego – all the way to his family's origins as shrimpers in Sinaloa, Mexico. In that small fishing village, shrimp became the defining force of their existence. It was their inspiration, their livelihood, their sustenance, and their future. And so, their recipe for shrimp ceviche became a family heirloom.
"My family is really huge when it comes to food," said Michel. "Everyone in the family cooks really good and everyone cooks all the time. Ceviche is one of our prides."
Although others in Michel's family make ceviche, no one makes it quite like him. In his past life as a bartender, Michel won the title for Best Michelada in Tucson. Just as he does to make his award-winning micheladas, Michel incorporates soy sauce and clamato into his ceviche to create the special punch that makes it unique. So, go ahead and try it out!
"It'll make you friends. Or at least keep them around," Raul said, jokingly.

Paul says something really big and scary in today's reading. Something I'm not sure I'd want to say or any of us would want to say. It's some big words. But, it's something that we each say, each day of our lives. Listen to what he writes in Philippians 3:17-20:
Brothers, join in imitating me, and keep your eyes on those who walk according to the example you have in us. For many, of whom I have often told you and now tell you even with tears, walk as enemies of the cross of Christ. Their end is destruction, their god is their belly, and they glory in their shame, with minds set on earthly things. But our citizenship is in heaven, and from it we await a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ,
Paul says this – you want to know what a Christian is? You want to know how you walk the walk God has set before us? You want to know how a Christian is supposed to live?
Watch me. Follow me. Imitate me. Do what I do.
Wow. That's a big statement. That's a powerful statement. I tell folks I'm afraid to put one of those fish on my car because I'm such a bad driver that I don't want to embarrass God.
That's how we all can feel sometimes. We see our shortcomings. We see our mistakes. We see what we do wrong.
Paul says, watch me. Do what I do. If you want to see what a Christian does, watch me.
Two things then – first, let's make sure we surrond ourselves with those that are an inspiration, that are a role model, that help us to know how to live.
Who do you look up to? Who do you follow? What crowd do you associate with? Are the folks in your life helping you to live the life that you'd like to live?
And second, realize that there are always eyes watching us, to see what we do and how we live. These are the little eyes of our children, our grandchildren, our nieces or nephews, those little ones in our lives.
They are watching us. They are seeing what we do. They are seeing how we live. Let us not forget that. Let us remember.
Let's make sure that we are doing what we need to do in our lives, so that those little eyes can have examples to follow.
Paul says, watch me. In our lives, that's already happening. May we each live in a graceful manner and set that same example.

Great Engineers - 7: Robert Stephenson
Of the two famous Stephensons, George and Robert, the younger is perhaps of greater interest to structural engineers. Both were intimately connected with the development of the railway system in Great Britain. The efforts of the father were, as is well known, devoted to the improvement of the locomotive, and it was left to the son to reap the benefits of the popularisation of railways so largely due to his father's skill as a mechanical inventor, for to him fell the task of designing some of the most important bridges which the new method of transport demanded. It is noteworthy that very great efforts were made to retard the progress of George Stephenson's schemes for the building of railways, not only by men who might have been excused for adopting an intolerant attitude towards such a novel invention, but by the experts themselves, who used their prestige as engineers to frustrate the projects of perhaps the ablest mechanic whom this country has produced. A writer in an issue of the Fortnightly Review published in 1825 says with reference to the proposed railway from London to Woolwich: "What can be more palpably ridiculous than the prospects held out of locomotives travelling twice as fast as stage coaches? We would as soon expect the people of Woolwich to suffer themselves to be fired off upon one of Congreve's richochet rockets as trust themselves to the mercy of such a machine going at such a rate. We will back old Father Thames against the Woolwich Railway for any sum. We trust that Parliament will in all Railways it may sanction limit the speed to eight or nine miles an hour, which is as great as can be ventured on with safety." And this attitude of scepticism was shared by most of the leading engineers, who rejected the notion of a locomotive railway. George Stephenson, however, had faith in his ideas, and by dint of sheer perseverance succeeded in establishing not only the possibility but the commercial soundness of railway construction. Yet clear though the subject was to himself and familiar as he was with the powers of the locomotive, it was no easy task for him to bring home his convictions, for, being without a scholastic training, he laboured under a disadvantage when contending against highly educated lawyers and other professional men who obstructed his schemes. In his strong Northumbrian dialect he would struggle for utterance in the face of the sneers, interruptions and ridicule of his opponents. But great honesty, technical competence and a very strong will enabled him to secure the victory over them. His experience, however, of the handicap suffered by himself owing to lack of scholarship made him determined that his son Robert should not suffer from a similar disadvantage. To give his own words, "In the earlier period of my career, when Robert was a little boy, I saw how deficient I was in education, and I made up my mind that he should not labour under the same defect, but that I would put him to a good school and give hi
