Site news
Bible OL to run on credit card size computer
We are excited to share the news on Judith Gottschalk's new work to set up a Raspberry Pi 3 computer as a server to support an offline local network running Bible OL independent of the internet.
Gottschalk was involved in our first experiment to set up a laptop in Madagascar to serve as a server in an offline system. This solution was an improvement over setting up PC's which are difficult to ship and get through customs. However, since 2013 we have also been exploring the idea of using the much smaller Rasperry PI computers. They are much smaller and cheaper, and users can attach them to the keyboards and screens or TV sets they already have.
Gottschalk will demonstrate her new credit card size computer at Society of Biblical Literature International Meeting in Berlin in August 2017 in paper on sustainainable elearning goals (see abstract HERE). Her server runs an operating system on a micro-SD card flashed and can support language learning on smart phones, tablets and computers. It will work on solar power and without internet access. It will be able to use Moodle for delivery of high quality learning in rural colleges in Africa and elsewhere.
Eventually this can become a learner-friendly and affordable advanced persuasive technology for the global learner. GLI will therefore work on solutions that will make Bilbe OL work better and faster on these small computers.

HARWICH — Harwich and Yarmouth-Dennis battled for 13 innings before a run was scored last night on Phil Gosselin's (Virginia) run-scoring walkoff single in the bottom of the 13th inning, giving the Mariners a 1-0 Cape Cod Baseball League triumph.
HARWICH — Harwich and Yarmouth-Dennis battled for 13 innings before a run was scored last night on Phil Gosselin's (Virginia) run-scoring walkoff single in the bottom of the 13th inning, giving the Mariners a 1-0 Cape Cod Baseball League triumph.
In a game that featured outstanding defense, the issue was decided on an unearned run. Chris Wade reached on a throwing error by third baseman Steve Chatwood to open the 13th, moved to third on Daniel Grovalt's single and rode home on Gosselin's hit.
Matthew Price (Virginia Tech) pitched the final three innings, allowing only two hits, to earn the win. Harwich starter Mike Gipson (Florida Atlantic) was outstanding, surrendering two hits over seven innings. Y-D starter Greg Peavy was equally superb, allowing five hits and striking out six over eight frames.
The teams played the game in a crisp three hours, 13 minutes, completing the regulation nine in exactly two hours.
Both clubs has opportunities to score before extra innings, but had runners snuffed out at home plate. In the third, Harwich's Trent Mummey (Auburn) gunned down Blake Kelso to end the frame, and in the fourth, Y-D's Jonathan Jones (Long Beach State) got Wade at the plate. Jones also made a diving catch in the same inning to save a run.
BOURNE — Tennessee pitcher Bryan Morgado had 13 strikeouts over just five innings of work and the Braves scored two eighth-inning runs to knock off the Kettleers at Doran Park.
Morgado recorded just two outs that did not come by way of a strikeout. Eric Cantrell (George Washington) relieved Morgado and pitched three innings while giving up just one run and picking up the win.
Cotuit took a 1-0 lead in the top of the eighth when Zach Cox (Arkansas) hit a RBI single that brought home Chris Bisson (Kentucky). Cantrell got out of further trouble in the frame, giving his club a chance to score in the bottom of the eighth.
With one out in the Bourne half of the eighth, Kyle Roller (East Carolina) tripled. Chris Wallace (Houston) brought him home with a RBI single, and then advanced to second on a wild pitch. After an intentional walk, Cotuit pitcher Daniel Tillman walked two more batters, the second forcing Wallace home with the eventual game-winning run.
Kevin Munson (James Madison) started the ninth for Bourne and allowed a leadoff walk. He was then lifted for Steven Harrold (UNC-Wilmington), who retired the final three batters in order to pick up his second save.
WAREHAM — Brett Eibner (Arkansas) and Zach Wilson (Arizona State) have been making their presence felt since they've arrived on the Cape just a few days ago. Wilson smacked a solo home run and Eibner roped a two-run homer in the Gatemen's win over the Mets.
In the fourth, Shea Vucinich (Washington State) led off with a bunt single. Derek Dietrich (Georgia Tech) then singled, and Alex Dickerson (Indiana) was hit by a pitch to load the bases. A wild pitch allowed Vucinich to score, and a George Springer (UConn) fielder's choice brought Dietrich home.
Wilson's homer came in the fifth, and Eibner's blast in the sixth, giving Wareham a sizable lead heading into the final innings.
Jack Armstrong earned his second win with five shutout innings.
FALMOUTH — The Commodores beat the Firebirds last night behind five shutout innings from Falmouth starter Tommy Collier (San Jacinto) and just enough offense.
Falmouth put four runs on the board thanks to some clutch hitting from a couple key players.
In the bottom of the fourth, Brian Fletcher (Auburn) led off with a double. He advanced to third on a wild pitch and scored on a Jason Esposito (Vanderbilt) groundout.
Ryan Jones began the fifth with a single. Todd Cunningham (Jacksonville State) doubled and Fletcher stroked a RBI single to right field.
Hunter Morris followed with a RBI single.
Cunningham hit a solo home run over the right-centerfield wall in the bottom of the sixth to cap the Commodores' scoring.
Three Falmouth pitchers combined for the game's final five innings to hold on for the win.
Orleans' ninth-inning comeback bid fell short, as the Firebirds hit into a game-ending 6-4-3 double play with the bases loaded.

Cranes, Chains, Slings & Hoists
(11 min.)The most important safety feature is the operator's knowledge of how to use, inspect, and maintain the equipment. Safety around hoisting equipment is extremely important because one little mistake can be disastrous. Damaged or worn out parts also make your equipment unsafe to use. Something that everyone must know and understand is simply this: if your equipment is unsafe to use, don't use it. That goes for any equipment. If it's unsafe, don't use it. Inspect your hoisting equipment every day. Any equipment can break, wear out, or become damaged. It's your responsibility to check it thoroughly before you use it. If something is wrong or unsafe, report it to your foreman who will take action to get it corrected.
Topics included in this safety video are: metal chains, links, sharp edges, and overloading your equipment.

"Hey, I and some college buddies were there too! I remember this show vividly. Too bad the photos don't capture the thick haze of ganga that emanated from backstage. Absolutely phenomenal images, Clif!"
Harvey (attendee)
"I was a waitress at Paul's Mall – which was primarily a jazz club – during the Wailer's performance. In fact at the record party, we all received an autographed copy of the albumn. I made a big mistake. I wasn't fond of their music so I gave it to the cab driver who drove me home. What a stupid mistake."
Pat (attendee)
"I'd witnessed them all just two weeks earlier, when on assignment from NME to interview Marley in the US. The Wailers had a week's residency at a small Boston club, Paul's Mall, where he drilled the group in their repertoire. In fact, the Boston shows (two each evening) still seem sharper, more musically focused than the delirious Lyceum shows."

Some time during one of our visits to the archives @ Roger Steffen's estates (World of Reggae & Bob Marley Archivist), we encounter a bunch of developed photos from various sources and photographers that shared their work with Roger. Burning Spear was by far one of the most photographed artist after The Wailers and Rojah was no stranger to the lens… On a visit to the musical Island, Rojah met fellow reggae fanatic and artist Winston Rodney aka Burning Spear. Roger was able to interview and photograph him in a few sessions. This are 3 of the best photos I found at the archives during my search for Jamaican history… "Dig deep to get deeper"

B.M. (During a spliff break and interview) New Zealand 1979
Is always been a personal "thing" for us. BOB MARLEY, "a very personal thing of ours". Because is goes beyond the music and mystic man. The music transcends only one message, LOVE! Who knows Bob knows of LOVE!. So in the spirit of LOVE we share today with you some personal "thing" that is Robert Nesta Marley Booker as his birth certificate reads.
Here we have created a replica of an iconic photo shoot in Jamaica, around 1979. As you may know, Bob's pass time was the gathering of friends and play a game of futball (soccer). Bob was no stranger to the global sport, matter of fact, he carry with him a futball at all times, everywhere he traveled, everywhere he settle in, the futball was with him. So in the spirit of futball & Bob, we have created the SHC t-shirt (Survival Health Club).
This blog will also share a very rare and exclusive track from the Demos pulled out from Roger Steffens Archive Vault. With the permission of Mr. Steffens we share this originals and unpublished demo tracks call "SUN IS SHINNIN' & RUNNIN AWAY"
February is a celebration of Black History Month in the US, I hope the entire world celebrates this month at any time of the year. Is our obligation to extend the awareness of Black Human Culture, which has shape the history of man kind. Bob Marley is the perfect example of this celebration. HAIL UP RASTA IN THE MOST HIGHEST SKIES!
AND HAPPY BIRTHDAY Prof. Robert Nesta Marley Booker!

Every time games in London grow closer on the schedule, certain fan bases worry that they're about to lose their team to England for good.
But a league official said that move "clearly" isn't imminent, for any team.
Chris Parsons, the league's senior vice president for international business, said they're still working to grow the fan base in London, and this year's two games were virtual sellouts within two weeks.
"We'd like to continue to grow our fan base even more aggressively," Parsons told Tom Pelissero of USA Today. "And whether that's doubling it from where it is today – I'm not entirely sure what the exact number is – I certainly would want us to be even bigger in the UK before we made a move like that, which clearly wouldn't be something that would happen in the near term."
The first of the games is coming up, as the Vikings "host" the Steelers on Sept. 29, while the Jaguars have a home game against the 49ers on Oct. 27.
Both games will be held in iconic Wembley Stadium, which holds 84,500 for football.
The Jaguars have been viewed as the leading candidate for relocation, but future plans might involve them playing a home and a road game there, which wouldn't hack 25 percent off the season ticket inventory for the other fan base Shad Khan is trying to grow.

Life-saving shots: World renowned baby photographer Anne Geddes adds her voice to the fight for global vaccines
Geddes Joins United Nations Foundation's Shot@Life Campaign As Their Global Advocate To Help Children In Developing Countries Get Access To Immunizations
Atlanta, GA
April 26, 2012
Alexis Krieg
The UN Foundation's Shot@Life campaign announced world-renowned baby photographer Anne Geddes as its Global Advocate today. Geddes, who is known for her iconic photos of babies, will raise awareness to expand access to life-saving vaccines for children in developing countries.
"As someone who works with moms and babies every day, but more importantly as a mother, it was heartbreaking to learn that around the world a child dies every 20 seconds from diseases that can be prevented with an inexpensive vaccine," said Geddes. "This is an important issue and I'm glad to be joining the Shot@Life campaign to raise awareness about life-saving vaccines; every child deserves a shot at a healthy life."
Shot@Life educates, connects and empowers Americans to champion vaccines as one of the most cost-effective ways to save children's lives in developing countries. For only $20, a child can receive lifelong protection against measles, pneumonia, diarrhea and polio. Through her work with Shot@Life, Anne Geddes is fulfilling her commitment to support Every Woman Every Child, an unprecedented global movement spearheaded by the UN Secretary-General to save the lives of 16 million women and children by 2015. In 2011, Geddes joined the Every Woman Every Child movement by committing to raise public awareness of issues surrounding the dire need to improve the health and welfare of women and children around the world.
"The UN Foundation and Shot@Life are thrilled to welcome Anne Geddes as our Global Advocate in raising awareness for children's health," added the UN Foundation's Vice President of Global Partnerships, Elizabeth Gore. "Ms. Geddes is world-famous for capturing childhood and motherhood—her voice will help reach millions with the message that anyone can help get life-saving vaccines to the children who desperately need them."
Success is within reach. Through our partners on the Measles Initiative, the UN Foundation has helped vaccinate over one billion children since its inception in 2001, and has reduced deaths globally by 74 percent. The number of new cases of polio has dropped 99 percent and the world is nearly polio-free. Yet there is still more work to be done.
Each year more than 1.5 million children die of vaccine-preventable diseases, according to the World Health Organization. The two most common causes of childhood deaths are pneumonia and diarrhea. These diseases can be prevented by groundbreaking new vaccines, which if distributed widely, have the potential to save the lives of millions more children.
Shot@Life, together with its partners, will support the work of the World Health Organization, UNICEF and the Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunizations (GAVI Alliance) to continue to save lives and improve the health of millions of children by providing vaccines to children in developing countries.
For more information on how to get involved and partner with the Shot@Life campaign, go to shotatlife.org or visit us on Facebook at facebook.com/shotatlifecampaign.

About Shot@Life
Shot@Life educates, connects and empowers Americans to champion vaccines as one of the most cost-effective ways to save the lives of children in developing countries. A national call to action for this global cause, the campaign rallies the American public, members of Congress, and civil society partners around the fact that together, we can save a child's life every 20 seconds by expanding access to vaccines. By encouraging Americans to learn about, advocate for, and donate vaccines, the United Nations Foundation's Shot@Life campaign will decrease vaccine-preventable childhood deaths and give children a shot at a healthy life.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – On Wednesday, Tennessee State University announced its full schedule for the 2014 football season. The slate includes six home games, five away and one neutral-site contest.
On Aug. 30, Big Blue will square off against Edward Waters in the John Merritt Classic. Waters is an independent NAIA school from Jacksonville, Fla. The Tigers were 1-9 last year including a 63-12 loss at Alcorn State.
TSU will hit the road for non-conference action against Alabama State on Sept. 6. Tennessee State is 10-1 all-time against the Hornets, but the two teams haven't met since 2000.
After the 25th annual Southern Heritage Classic versus Jackson State, the Tigers will host their first September home game in Hale Stadium in 15 years when they host Tennessee Tech on Sept. 20.
TSU returns to LP Field on Sept. 27 for the earliest homecoming game since at least 1953 as Big Blue looks to improve to 4-0 against Florida A&M in the Rod Reed era.
The Tigers' first OVC road contest is Oct. 4 at SEMO and then the squad will play back-to-back games in "The Hole"- one against Jacksonville State (Oct. 11) and the other versus UT Martin (Oct. 18).
Big Blue will then get a chance for revenge when they travel to the team that ended its season last year, Eastern Illinois, before hosting Eastern Kentucky at LP Field for Senior Day on Nov. 1.
After a trip to Austin Peay on the following Saturday and a bye on Nov. 15, TSU will wrap up the regular season at Murray State on Nov. 22.
The entire 2014 football schedule can be seen, here.

This is still a work in progress and will continue to work this as a project. Lots of leads to follow up on in my Master genealogy file.
One of the readers of this blog, wanted to know what all of the information was about in the status reports I have given so far.
See if this will help:
Most of the information comes directly from the program, as I have developed the information I wanted to track.
The 1,007 Tasks (To / Do) lists have categories where I can get some other information so that I can report it.
Here is where the file is now.
All Facts have been documented, as there is an Undocumented Report that I have available. All people have a Research Log, another report, almost 60 pages of research logs.
I am now in the process of Documenting the APP data against other records.
I have blogged about this recently, but of the 55 We're Related Cousins, I have DISPROVEN 2. That means that I have NOT Proven the other 53. Still working on that. But I have disproven 2.
The observation on those two were where the Common Ancestor was Female and the two "children" of that Common Ancestor had different surnames, as if that common ancestor had married twice. In both cases, I have found indication / evidence that they were two different people.
This is NOT a linage study, it is only study of the APP.
Lesson Learned to date:
- Good Review of your current database
- Many hints for future research

Myanmar's junta holds referendum despite cyclone crisis
Associated Press
YANGON, Myanmar -- Myanmar's military rulers held a referendum Saturday aimed at solidifying their hold on power while brazenly turning cyclone relief efforts into a propaganda campaign. In some cases, generals' names were scribbled onto boxes of foreign aid before being distributed.
Human rights organizations and dissident groups have bitterly accused the junta of neglecting disaster victims in going ahead with the vote, which seeks public approval of a new constitution.
The referendum came just one week after Cyclone Nargis left more than 60,000 people dead or missing. The U.N. estimates that at least 1.5 million people have been severely affected.
Aye Aye Mar, a 36-year-old homemaker, looked frightened when asked if she thought anyone would vote against the referendum.
"One vote of 'No' will not make a difference," she whispered, her eyes darting around to see if anyone was watching. Then she raised her voice to declare: "I'm saying 'Yes' to the constitution."
Though international aid has started to trickle in -- with two more planes organized by the U.N. World Food Program landing at Yangon's airport Saturday -- almost all foreign relief workers have been barred entry into the isolated nation. The junta says it wants to hand out all donated supplies on its own.
But with roads blocked and bridges submerged, reaching isolated areas in the hard hit delta has been made all but impossible. The military has only a few dozen helicopters, most small and old. It also has about 15 transport planes, few of which are able to carry massive amounts of supplies.
Long lines formed in front of government centers, where minuscule rations of rice and oil were being distributed. Elsewhere, people clustered on roadsides hoping for handouts. The words "Help us!" were written in chalk on the side of one home.
"Please, don't wait too long," said Ma Thein Htwe, 49, who waited with dozens of other women and children at a monastery in Kungyangon for her ration of rice.
Ko Zaw Min, 27, said not enough aid was reaching his community. Each family was given just over a pound a day.
"I want to build my home where it used to stand, in the field over there," said the farmer, who lost his 9-year-old son and a 1-month-old baby in the disaster. "But I have nothing."
Despite international appeals to postpone the constitutional referendum, voting began Saturday in all but the hardest hit parts of the country.

I've been praying about doors of opportunity in ministry, and I've been praying even longer about being able to somehow help support my family through my gifts. This opportunity certainly isn't going to be the income to change our lives, but it did have in the description words that drew me. It said, "It may not be a gig that will support you, but many have used their column as springboards for further success in their field, while established writers have made their columns integral extensions of their writing careers."
Self-promotion is a tricky thing, and a challenging one too. Walking the line between faith and trusting/waiting upon God and actively participating in due diligence.
I asked for a door and out of the blue my friend sent me this listed opportunity. Is it a door? You can't really be sure until you try to walk through it. It makes me think as I type that about a time when I was a kid and I was at my next door neighbor's for a birthday party. The kids were playing outside in the backyard when I got there and I went running out to join them. As I got to the threshold I was knocked back a good three feet in intense pain. The classic move I had slammed into the sliding glass door. My friend's mom was far too good a housekeeper because I never even saw the glass.
The next time I came over to the house there were huge butterfly stickers all up and down the door. No one else would ever mistake the closed door as open ever again. I'm not really worried about any great pain should this possible door turn out to be closed rather than open, and only time will tell if the door was open to a new opportunity or if it was really closed and I will soon be feeling the pain of my first official rejection. But like the bump on my head, it will heal, and at least I will be able to say I gave it a shot.
So the process was simple. I was asked about contact info, and was asked to give a link to some of my writing on the internet. I chose a blog I wrote about 6 weeks ago called Impervious. It was challenging to choose without a lot of forethought, but I found myself on a time limit and in the midst of the application process. I liked this post and although it was long, I think it was also a good example of my work and my process.
The last page of the application asked for a sample of my writing. Not a link to past writing but a new piece that applied to the genre I was applying for. I chose the maximum of 3. (Which if you knew me would not surprise you at all. I am all about covering my bases.) I applied to "Christian Devotion;" "Christian Perspective;" and "Inspirational." In addition to genre there were 2 requirements, 200-300 words and must not be written in the first person. Um, hello? Challenge much?
200-300 words is short, especially for me. And everything I write, I write from my perspective, because honestly, that's the only thing I feel like I have any "expertise" on! So I said a prayer and wrote. Interestingly enough the body of the article was exactly 300 words. Which if you knew me, also would not surprise you because I like to use my words. So, here's what I wrote:
The Math of Ministry
Christian ministry should always be divided by one. So often when someone considers what they can do as an act of service for others, the mindset is on the masses. How can the hungry be fed? How can the orphans be saved? How can the homeless be given shelter?
The causes, and the vastness of need can send the best-intentioned person running, overwhelmed. Jesus, when He came to touch the world, touched each person one at a time, individually. Yes, the masses were fed, but the basket was passed to one hungry person at a time. The paralytics were healed, the eyes of the blind were opened, the lost were found, but each was touched and ministered to one by one.
If Christians could change their perception of the needs in the world to the individuals rather than the abstract concept of the need as a whole, a far greater impact towards change could be made. And if every Christian took the time and made it their purpose to be touching at least one life at a time, the effect could change the world.
Instead of trying to cure world hunger, head down to your local shelter and make a donation, donate food or even spend an afternoon serving meals. Instead of trying care for all the orphans, open your home to a foster child or volunteer your time to be a big brother or big sister. If your passion is stopping abortion, then open your home to a woman in crisis pregnancy, or volunteer at a local birthing center. If you have a heart for sick children, then donate an afternoon or two a week at the local children's hospital reading stories to them, or participating in a fundraiser for the cause.
Touch one heart, change the whole world.
I have no idea what today will end up being. A step of faith? An exercise in futility? Only time will tell, but I'm glad at least I at least gave something a shot. If it hits a good target, all the better.

1. Walk Around the Brandenburg Gate, Berlin
Once it stood within a divided city, a shadow between east and west that stretched up into the sky. Now of course, the silhouette still stretches but it functions neither as a gate (it's former function) nor blockade but instead as a tourist attraction.
It's possible (encouraged in fact) to walk both around, under and beyond this iconic landmark. Rent a bike or hike west into the Tiergarten Park or head past the shops along Unter den Linden to reach Berlin's other skyward landmark, the Fernsehturm Tower.
Many direct high-speed ICE and regional trains run from various cities across Germany to Berlin. It's good to know that your German Rail Pass is also valid on the S-bahn that operates within major German cities.
2. Drinking Riesling on The Rhine
Germany's reputation for wine has wavered a little recently but it's beginning to make a comeback. And the scenery where the Rhine meets the Moselle makes it a journey worth taking in its own right.
Board the Rhine Valley scenic train in Mainz or Koblenz and travel to Cologne, gliding through vineyards and the serene blue-green waters of the longest river in western Europe. Then, of course, enjoy a lovely glass of crisp white Riesling!
3. Indulge in fairytales at Neuschwanstein, Fussen
If the dreamy spires and curved sides make Fussen castle look as though it's come straight from a Disney cartoon movie, you've got the muse the wrong way around. The castle came first, inspiring the Disney franchise to paint all self-respecting castles in this way.
Commissioned by Ludwig II of Bavaria from his own personal fortune, it rises out of the trees with all the sense of majesty, and perhaps, folly of a man who pursued a sense of grandeur for most of his life before he was declared insane. Germany has many impressive castles, but none quite so fine as this.
To get to Neuschwanstein you can take a regional train from Munich (München) to Füssen, which takes just over an hour. Buses will carry you on from Füssen train station near to the base of the castle grounds. (Ride line RVA/OVG 73 in the direction of Steingaden / Garmisch-Partenkirchen or line RVA/OVG 78 in the direction of Schwangau.)
4. Sip three liquids in Cologne
Cologne is a city marked by three enjoyable liquids. Allow me to explain.
Kolsch is the light coloured beer served in bars across the city. Waiters mark a notch on your beer mat to keep count of what you've drunk and will keep on serving more until you end the evening yourself by covering your glass with your beer mat.
Then there's Eau de Cologne itself, the scent that's been produced here since 1792. Some say it has medicinal properties but, frankly, only a fool tastes it more than once.
And finally there's chocolate, served in liquid form at the chocolate museum overlooking the mighty Dom cathedral.
5. Explore the Black Forest
Running along the southwest border with France right down to the shores of Lake Bodensee (Constance) where Germany meets Austria, the Schwarzwald or Black Forest is a magnificent sight to behold. Think spiky peaks and fresh mountain pine, clear streams and classic babbling brooks and the soft clump of boot on mossy mountain soil.
And if all that fresh air and adventure becomes too much, turn your attention to hunting down the famed Shwarzwalderkirschtorte instead: the decadently delicious Black Forest Gateau.
The finale, if you're travelling by train, is the scenic Black Forest rail route between Offenburg and Konstanz, one of the most beautiful train journeys in Europe.
6. Taste the Cool Side of Berlin
With 175 museums, Berlin has more museums than rainy days." So says the city itself and, yes, it's a capital that overflows with history, traditional art and culture and a sombre look back at its political past.
But it's also a place that bursts with design, creativity and an energetic kind of cool. It has legendary nightclubs, underground fashion houses that sell clothes by the kilo and even a cartoon museum dedicated to Currywurst.
Wander down Kastanianallee to find cafes, record shops, street art and kooky vintage boutiques. Fall in love with Berlin for its capacity for reinvention and looking towards the future, as well as retracing its all-important past.
7. Rethink Human Rights in Nuremberg
As the favourite rally spot for Hitler's National Socialist Party, Nuremberg has one of the worst legacies in the world. It also has one of the best: as the site for the landmark Nuremberg trials and as a pioneering base for human rights work even now.
On top of all that, the old town itself remains beautifully atmospheric. Restored after heavy bomb damage during the war, it's now a series of criss-crossing cobbled streets with houses every colour of the rainbow.
Meanwhile, on the outskirts of town next to a peaceful lake and a series of grassy meadows you can visit the Nazi rally grounds that have fallen into disrepair.
8. Just Enjoy Munich
Munich is a city that just knows how to have fun. The rest of Germany may look down its nose at it but it just doesn't care.
Anything Munich does, it does on a grand scale. Like a beer? Why stop at one or two when you can set up giant tents, invite the whole world, keep them there for half a month and call it Oktoberfest?
Like Christmas? Why stop at a little bit of tinsel and the odd gingerbread biscuit when you can fill the streets with cinnamon-scented delicacies, wooden chalets, singing choirs and sparkling lights in one of the biggest Christmas markets in Europe?
Just enjoy Munich!
9. Bremen
An unsung hero of the north, Bremen is great for a mid-size city break. Known primarily for its strange statue of some even stranger "musicians" (a donkey, dog, cat and cockerel all perched on one another's backs) its surprises include a whole lot more.
Check out the cool kitsch charm of the lustrously-named Schnoor district, the impressive collection at the Kunsthalle art museum and the softly-lit flagstones of the streets around the cathedral as the sun begins to set.
Even the station is worth seeing, not only for its architecture but also for the hustle and bustle that takes place underground: it's one of the main walking routes of the city.
10. Tuck in to German food!
OK, so Germany may not have the same reputation for food as, say, France or Italy. But it's not all Bratwurst and sauerkraut you know (and even if it was, those two are mighty fine when served with the right kind of condiment.) No, there's the nation's favourite Currywurst (sausage served with a curry meets ketchup sauce,) the home grown (and original) Pretzel, Knodel (dumplings) and Kasespatzle (a kind of cheesy pasta dish.) And that's just the beginning.
At Christmas, don't miss the special Lebkuchen – a cinnamon, often heart-shaped, biscuit decorated with fine icing sugar and all sorts of slogans.

As many of you have noticed (all five and a half readers), I haven't been posting much. Life has, well, been busy.
Christmas this year will be a lonely one for the wife and myself. The son is spending his Christmas elsewhere, and this time, I'm the one that's sick. A severe sinus infection is going to be the grinch that's going to make my Christmas a miserable one.
But no matter – I have my wife, the cats, a roof over my head, food in my tummy, a job, and my (relative) health. No one can really ask for more and truly be happy or satisfied.
So when you gather around your Christmas tree and scarf down the holiday feast, count your blessings and remember those less fortunate than you in your prayers.
May everyone find peace in their hearts, and in doing so, bring peace to those around us.

I'm in the market for a piece-of-shit van that I can spray paint all hippie-dippy and take to Burning Man. I need for it to get me 3.5 hours away from my town to the high desert in Northern Nevada salt plains and back. I intend to donate it to charity as a tax write off almost immediately after Burning Man.
When looking for a cheap clunker, what things are vital in order to not waste my money or have a money pit? I'm hoping to spend around $600—$800 total, and expect it will be a 78–80s year…
Cosmetics aside, what specific things should I pay attention to when shopping? Please don't be so generic as to say "an engine" or "one that runs." I imagine something that old and cheap will have issues, I just don't know the difference between a major issue and a minor one. Think mechanics, as one that old won't have a lot of electronic components. Thanks!

Some of the highs and lows from our trip:
*Highlight- We were there for three whole weeks! LONG vacation!
Low- I missed my trusty, faithful friend. . . the DVR. Watching the 'So You Think You Can Dance' and 'Survivor' finales without it was most definitely NOT the same.
*Highlight- The beaches are still beautiful in December.
Low- A poor baby with a nasty cold, who doesn't sleep well on trips even when she's completely healthy. And the cold just wouldn't go away!
The result: Not a lot of pictures with Natalie in them, and not ONE single night for the entire three weeks of Natalie sleeping through the night.
She woke up. . . and woke up. . . and then woke up some more. We also got to share a bedroom with the poor baby.
*Highlight- How happy Kirsten was at the beach. Digging to her heart's content!
*Highlight- Our welcome back to San Diego dinner at the Old Town Mexican Cafe.
I tell you, it's to die for! I fantasize regularly about their chicken tacos in perfect, fresh-made tortillas.
*Highlight- Getting to go Christmas shopping and take the time to browse thoughtfully, without being rushed by small, impatient people. Bliss!
Low- The construction zone otherwise known as my parents re-doing their attic. Lots of banging, sawing, and drilling.
*Highlight: Spending time with amazing friends! Some of my oldest and best friends in the world still live in San Diego (or visit for Christmas, like we do), and we take advantage of our free babysitting and spend lots of time with them! I can't think of many things more fun than staying up until all hours of the night, just talking, playing games, and catching up with such awesome people. Thank you, friends, for making our trip so fun!
*Highlight- Getting Natalie together with Hadley, my BFF Carrie's baby! Of course Natalie and Hadley are future best friends, and they were born only a week and a half apart! Natalie's the younger one. It's always so cute to see them together!
*Highlight- Kirsten got an entire playground to herself! She called this "the perfect slide."
*(Not sure if this is a highlight or a low)- Watching my little daredevil extremely closely at the playground. This just makes me nervous!
*Highlight- So much quality family time! It was heavenly having so many people around all the time to help entertain Kirsten and Natalie! And of course I loved spending time with my parents and my brother. Stephen enjoyed a nice long break from work!
*Highlight- Celebrating my Grandma's birthday with her! Kirsten helped "Agoo" blow out her candles. We also watched BYU beat Oregon State that night!
*Highlight- SO MANY great places to eat!!!
Oh my heavens! We had fantastic lunches at Rubio's, my favorite dessert in the world from Chili's, great burgers from In 'n Out, awesome meals at Old California Mining Company (where I used to work!), and tried out a yummy new Italian place in La Jolla. Way too much deliciousness!
*Highlight- We got to see lots of good movies! Avatar in IMAX 3D, What About the Morgans, Sherlock Holmes, and the Princess and the Frog! We even took Kirsten with us to see Princess and the Frog, and she did pretty well in it!
*Highlight- Went to the Poinsettia Bowl at Qualcomm Stadium with Stephen!
*Highlight- Hot-tubbing under the stars at Aunt Mary and Uncle Lance's house in Coronado. Hot tubs are a gift from the gods.
Low- The night I spilled my water glass, TWICE in a row. Cleaned it up twice and everything. Hi, I'm two years old. :)
*Highlight- Playing with my amazing new camera in the 5 acres my parents live on. Great shots and backdrops just pop up out of nowhere!
*Highlight- Driving the golf cart around the property. I tell my parents it's the old people's version of a 4-wheeler. :p
*Highlight- I happen to hate chickens (they should all just be fried or baked!), but Kirsten thinks collecting eggs and feeding the chickens is just about the best thing ever.
*Highlight- Thanks to Facebook, I got to reconnect with some old friends I hadn't seen in about 10 years or more! I love the way Facebook allows us to get back in touch with people.
*Bonfires in the backyard and gooey s'mores under the stars. Oh my gosh, the BEST! I love inviting a bunch of people over for bonfires. When we get a house with a yard, I want a fire pit!
Low- Some family members we were excited to see got sick and weren't able to come visit. We missed them lots!
*Highlight- The whole gang over for games and a party on New Year's Eve! (Well, part of the gang. Minus all the sick ones).
*Highlight: Lots of games of Settlers. I learned this game from a guy I dated my junior year at BYU, and it's now the most popular game throughout my entire extended family. I started it all! And now we're hooked! We also played lots of Bang! on this trip.
*Highlight- Our New Year's Eve bonfire. Did I mention how much I love roasting hot dogs and making s'mores around a fire? Is it just me or does everyone look about 10 times more attractive than usual when they're in firelight?
*Highlight- Died and went to Ghirardelli Cookie-bottom Hot Fudge Sundae heaven! Me and Stephen love going there whenever we go back to San Diego. It was where we went on our first date!
*Highlight- Driving 85 in the fast lane and still getting passed on the right. How I miss California drivers! Everyone should learn to drive in California.
Low- Packing up our massive piles of stuff to go home. You would not believe the amount of luggage we had to take home! And then I had to put it all away and get it all organized after I got back. Ugh!
Amazing trip, yes it was! Many more highs than lows! I also have a couple other highlights from our trip to post about, but they each deserve their own blog post.
It was nice to come home to Seattle and be in my own house again, but I do miss my family, friends, and all those highlights. I love San Diego!

If you're after positivity, you've come to the wrong place…
When it comes to music, January is like turning up at a Led Zep reunion gig only to be told they've cancelled – but don't worry Foreigner and Paulo Nutini are still playing.
It's that much of a letdown.
Indeed, the first month of the year is much like the introductory track on many hip hop long-players; an unnecessary, pre-requisite skit preceding the pleasures yet to come.
January is the industry's 31-day hangover as it prepares itself for another 11-month bender – a month so devoid of interest, that if you could play God, you'd flick 'skip' on your virtual mp3 player and jump head-long into February.
One cursory glance through this month's music press pretty much says it all – each and every one is wafer thin – more leaflet than magazine.
Ailing NME (which, incidentally, was robbed from my desk before I'd even read it) had more in common with that translucent toilet paper dished out in schools in the '80s that acted more as a slicing weapon than a bodily cleaning agent.
Taking a quick look inside the various print publications and we're treated to the usual, predictable fodder – who's going to big in the next 12 months (Foals, Adele and Duffy are the obvious standouts, unanimously bagging the headlines, and judging by their already circulating sounds, pretty much justifiable certs for success).
More depressing is the usual 'catching up in the studio' sections where we're informed two of the most dreary super(market)groups Britain has ever excreted are due for a return: Keane, and the ever-increasingly woeful Chris Martin Band.
It has taken me almost three years to banish the latter's nightmarish, skull-crushingly bland set at the monsoon-like Glastonbury Festival in 2005 – a set which appeared biblical in proportion, but instead of rape, murder and divinity all we got was 37 songs about algebra.
What made it all the more punishing was my mudcaked feet were cut to ribbons – owing to a lack of wellington boots – and thus rendering me unable to move from within a stones throw from my tent…
Anyway, fingers crossed The CMB and Keane ditch the piano warbling and move in a vaguely interesting direction for, let's face it, even if they take a dump on their ivory keys the noise it emits will choke the airwaves come what may.
An addition to the January Blues list arrived by way of a brief trip into Liverpool where upon attempting to part with some cash and vouchers, I quickly realised that record sales simply don't exist anymore. Well, not proper sales.
What with the record shop huffing and puffing its way towards extinction I found that bar the usual, year-round has-beens (Air's Moon Safari, The Eagles' Hotel California and almost the entire Oasis back catalogue being notable permanent sale items) there's little worth bothering with.
Worse still is the choice – what with Bold Street's HMV the size of a wheelie bin and MusicZone extinct you're left with Zavvi (aka: Virgin) as the only other high street retailer. Sure, the perma-great indies Hairy's and Probe are always worth a trip but they don't, and can't, afford to bother with sale items.
I went to Liverpool in search of Can, Cluster, an early Porno For Pyros, New Pornographers and even Kate Nash but alas returned empty-handed…
But it's not all doom and gloom.
There are however, a few January gems to be unearthed and for these we should pay particular attention to:.
Magnetic Fields: Distortion (January 14)
Black Mountain: In The Future (January 21)
Cat Power: Jukebox (January 28)
The Mars Volta: The Bedlam In Goliath (January 28)
Sons & Daughters: The Gift (January 28).
Happy New Year.

Honor and Remember
I recently heard about an organization that is trying to establish a national symbol of gratitude to fallen military members along with providing a visible reminder to all Americans. That symbol will be a flag that honors all who have given their life in defense of our freedom.
Honorandremember.org has designed the flag with a gold star upon which is an eternal flame on a red and white background. Printed on the flag are the words, Honor and Remember. The flags are available for purchase through Honorandremember.org. They come in two sizes and you can choose between a screen printed flag or a hand-stitched appliquéd flag. There are even motorcycle flags for all you bikers out there!
Congressman Randy Forbes from Virginia introduced HR 1034, a bill to make this flag a national symbol. You can help buy signing the petition on Honorandremember.org. The United States does not have a nation symbol that honors the sacrifice made by the men and women who gallantly defend our country.
American Gold Star Mothers, Inc., the Veterans of Foreign Wars, the Fleet Reserve Association, the Military Officers Association of America, the Air Force Security Forces Association, and the Naval Reserve Association currently endorse the Honor and Remember flag.
By signing the petition you are helping in the movement to have the flag congressionally and militarily sanctioned as a permanent symbol to fly continuously in eternal honor and remembrance of all fallen military service men and women.
I think this is a wonderful idea, as we cannot do enough to honor those who made a commitment to everyone of us. Please go sign the petition and give this gift to our heroes and their families. In honor, they served. In honor, they sacrificed. Let us never forget them.

Interactive Clothes Demonstration
Click on image to get the full size view.
A project a friend and I did. A real space-time interactive piece. We went with clothes and the user would strap on motion capture devices and would move around on some mats. The computers would then display clothes that the user picked out before hand in real time according to the user's movements. Sadly though, halfway through the project, the After Effects project file corrupted.
Time: 12 hours

How to expand your business by using social networks
Social media provides you with the opportunity to amplify your message, address customer service issues and build relationships with clients that you wouldn't be able to otherwise. Everyone today is aware of the importance of social networks like Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, You tube, Google plus etc. for enhancing any business online. Use our services and learn interesting marketing techniques for increasing traffic to your site. You can generate huge traffic to your website by using these popular social media networks. Choose the best option to get social followers for your photos.
Know your audience. Tailor your contact gathering activities appropriately to the social media channel. While LinkedIn is very good for B2B contacts and relationships, this might be different for Twitter and your Facebook page. Make sure you interact with potential contacts in a tone that suits the platform.
Engage your existing followers. So you're already on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook, comment on forums and write your own blog. Now make sure you read articles in newspapers and trade magazines so that you can share and tweet relevant information and keep your followers up to date with the industry.
Target the main player. Do you know a particularly well-connected business partner? Invest in that relationship, as it could mean a whole new lot of contacts coming your way. Don't just communicate online but make an effort to meet them face-to-face, say at a trade fair.
Let them tweet. Many of your existing offline contacts will probably already be on Twitter, so start by sending them an email asking them to follow you and follow them back. But most importantly, ensure your tweets are relevant, interesting and friendly. Don't concentrate on sales messages or product pushes, but vary tweets with broader topics and updates from your sector.
Boost connections on Instagram. Increase the contacts in your network by browsing your contacts' connections. LinkedIn will calculate your 'degrees of separation' and you can use common connections as a starting point for making new contacts. New contacts expose you to an even wider range of people through their friends and business partners.
Build a community on Facebook. This is where your existing fans and customers meet, so you should engage differently. However, it is a good place to start word-of-mouth campaigns to attract more people, maybe their friends, to become fans. Your pages' main message should be that this is a place for social contacts, not just your brand or business.
Never let a chance go by. From time to time, ask visitors to your website, your Twitter followers or visitors to your Facebook page if they want to join your mailing list. Provide a link to a sign-up page on your website to make it easy for them.
But creating profiles and maintain them is just the starting step which does not guarantee you followers. To get followers, you can buy Followers. You can buy Instagram followers and likes, twitter followers, Facebook likes etc. with our website. Buying these from us gives you the chance to increase your followers list. Through these popular social sites you can create a strong online presence and you no need to get worried about increasing your social presence because here we are the best social provider to make your order complete at right time. You can use these social networks to let your product better known among the world. People will be invest money to buy your product.
