The new Volvo FM
The new Volvo FE
The new Volvo FL
Maps, print-outs, personal effects, your phone, and a beverage … Everything has to fit. And everything needs a designated storage space. This is why the Volvo FL cab has been equipped with a number of smart and convenient storage units. Some come as standard equipment, whereas further units can be added as options. In the FL cab everything is in its place, all the time. Explore a few of the storage options available.
Your cab is your home away from home, and it's imperative to always have access to essential equipment and personal belongings. Above your head you'll find a big, handy storage possibility that is protected with a net or with a lid, perfect for those things you want to be able to reach quickly.
Above the windscreen there are two storage units, as well as four DIN compartments. The DIN compartments are intended for items such as a communication radio, extra storage and tachograph.
The space between the seats can be supplemented with a storage unit, a so-called tunnel storage compartments. These come in a variety of sizes and include different features that can be specified further.
In the Volvo FL cab, every available space is utilised efficiently. Storage options are plentiful, in the form of compartments and pockets. Boxes can be fitted on the engine cover in a variety of configurations, depending on cab variant. There is also space for an additional removable storage box behind the passenger seat as well as coat hangers.

text: Yeah, I got to thinking about that angle. I mean, if she did it in a older model weapon, like nearly flintlock level, I could defaintly see it panning out. The Fae are legendary (literally) smiths and woodworkers. Whose to say they couldn't enchant silver to be as strong as steel? They would need to for their swords and whatnots anyway. The grips and none steely bits could be wood (with approirate veins of Ivy).

But what about the near life experiences? How often and how close to that are we everyday? How often are we too afraid or too careful or too intimidated that we won't allow ourselves to live life to its absolute fullest?
And as a Mother, I have this huge responsibility to direct not only how I live, but just which way each of my children will live- or not "live."
To keep them safe and far away from the edge, from the unknown, and thus maybe missing miracles and blessings and life-shaping experiences. Or instead taking that very thing that is holding us back, that thing we just can't seem to "get over" and using it as a launch pad, a push from the nest into that place that really may not be so dark and scary after all. It might just be life. A life very much worth living.

The Heart of Jesus International Deliverance Church and The International Police and Fire Chaplain Association will be presenting the 2011 Pastors and Leadership Development Conference on Friday and Saturday, Aug. 26-27, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. The services will be held at the Heart of Jesus International Deliverance Church, 17350 Wellington St. in Roseville.
Pastor/Prophet Cedric Banks and Co-Pastor/Prophetess Donetta Banks cordially invite the public to this spirit-filled conference that will feature pastors and prophets from many areas.
Workshops include "How to Choose and Train Ministry Staff," "Understanding Covent Relationships," "Christian Counseling Methods" and "Benefits of the 5-Fold Ministry."
Prophet Banks believes this is an hour when block clubs are going rise back up in the community, and spiritual leaders will arrive in conjunction with block club leaders to bring about change in our communities.
A new generation of 5-fold ministry, pastors and leaders that God is raising up in this hour is going to have a great effect on a lost and dying generation that is going to bring life back to those in our communities. God is getting ready to raise up in the community true fathers who are going to be a major asset.
This is the season, between now and Dec. 31, that those who are truly in the will of God are going to experience promotion, increase, restoration, restitution, new divine relationships, family reconciliation and new opportunities they had not experienced in the past, even with ministry and in business. This is the year that there will be an incredible opportunity for God's power, spirit and healing to come to the land.
The public is strongly encouraged to come out and celebrate Jesus with the presenters of this very special event.
For more information, please call (586) 222-6307 or e-mail Prophet Banks at firstname.lastname@example.com.

I hope you enjoy this video. I was so excited. I found some fun royalty-free background music and figured out how to add it to my video. Yes, I know I get excited over some pretty strange things. But when you're technically challenged like I am you tend to get excited over the smallest of accomplishments.
Anyway, my plan is to start adding some short, 2-3 minute, videos to my blog featuring a quick tip or instructions on how to use different tools. I'm hoping to do one a week so be sure to check back often. And if you have ideas for what you'd like to see please send me your suggestions.
For those fans of my longer project tutorials, don't worry I plan to continue with those too. I try to do video tutorials of projects I have created myself or techniques I particularly enjoy. These type of video tutorials take a little more planning and production, but I have a notebook full of ideas for the coming year. So again, stay tuned!
And finally,....
Best wishes to all for a wonderful holiday season. May it be filled with peace and happiness.

Strategy for Mets Series
It's going to be a pretty laid back way week for the Cubs as they ready themselves for the playoffs. The only kink in that plan is they're playing two of the teams fighting for a playoff spot. Lou has already indicated that you wont' be seeing anymore lineups like Sunday:
"I can't let these guys all sit," Piniella said. "We have to use them
to keep them as sharp as possible. We'll play our regular lineup in
these games [against New York]. The worst thing that can happen is
Major League Baseball calls us and tells us, 'Hey, you people have a
responsibility,' and we're going to honor that.
I'm not exactly sure that's the worst thing that can happen, the worst thing that could happen is that Soriano gets nailed with a fastball or Ramirez shreds a hamstring, etc, etc. But Lou is right that you just can't sit them for a week. As I discussed last week, I think Lou should be weary of using his starting pitchers versus the Mets. When it comes to the question of unfamiliarity between a pitcher and a hitter, I think the advantage goes to the pitcher. The less a team has seen a pitcher, the bigger the disadvantage. Now I don't worry much about Jason Marquis going tonight since he's been in the league long enough that many of the Mets hitters have seen enough of him already and he probably won't pitch against them if they are the Cubs first round opponent. But the rest of the week has Harden vs. Johan, Zambrano vs. Perez and Lilly vs Pedro. First, let's applaud the Mets for having two pitchers who are simply known by their first names.
Second, I understand that you don't want to completely sit your starting pitchers and risk getting them rusty, but I do hope Lou sticks with a plan to limit them to 5 innings and no more than two times through the lineup. If you look at some of the numbers, Harden has only faced one Mets hitter at least 10 times and that's Carlos Delgado. Lilly is in much of the same boat, with only Delgado and Luis Castillo getting more than 10 AB's. Zambrano being a native National Leaguer, has faced most of the Mets lineup quite a bit more, including a one-run effort earlier in the season.
All in all, it's probably not a big deal, but what else are we going to worry about this week?
Some random notes after the jump....
- The Cubs 2008 division champ hats are pretty sweet. I usually hold off until the Cubs playoff run is over before purchasing any merchandise to see how far they get. Who wants a 2008 division champ shirt if a 2008 NL Pennant or 2008 World Series Champs one is coming down the pipeline? But I might have to break my rule on that one.
- I was updating our Cubs 40-man roster page, and didn't realize that the Cubs practically called up the entire roster.
- You can download Eddie Vedder's new Cubs anthem from the Pearl Jam website. I'm going to try and get it up on the sidebar over the next day or two.
- Arizona Phil recently gave us his thoughts on the playoff roster and I think I agree with his rotation. Dempster for Game 1 seems like a no-brainer now, because not only does Dempster have experience in the bullpen for later in the series, but he's also been lights out at home. At the moment, I think I'd like to see Dempster, Harden, Zambrano, Lilly but that could change depending on the opponent and how they throw this week.
As for the rest of the roster, I'd like to see this:
C - Soto, Blanco
INF - Lee, Ward, Fontenot, DeRosa, Cedeno, Theriot, Ramirez
OF - Soriano, Edmonds, Fukudome, Johnson
SP - Zambrano, Lilly, Harden, Dempster
RP - Wood, Marmol, Samardzija, Cotts, Marquis, Gaudin (assuming he's healthy, which sounds like he is), and anyone not named Bob Howry.
Sadly, I think Howry will make the roster and then it's just a matter if Gaudin is healthy and if Lou can stomach crushing the soul of Marquis for another season. I think Marquis has done enough down the stretch to shake those "he's a first-half pitcher" tag, so as long as he's not whining about being put in the pen, he'd be nice to have around in case our slightly fragile starting rotation gets hurt.
That also eaves one spot for either Micah Hoffpauir or Felix Pie. I actually think the Cubs need a righty bench bat like Casey McGehee, but he just hasn't done much. I'd probably give the spot to Hoffpauir myself. Although Pie offers more dimensions to his game, Hoffpauir might actually get a hit. And would anyone want to see Lou having to be forced to use Pie as a pinch-hitter? But that could all be subject to change when they figure out who the Cubs opponent is.
- I discovered a neat trick/tool for you Mac users. I've always had problems isolating MLB.com clips to store on my own computer because I'm weird like that. But I came across Tube TV and have been saving clips from the 2008 season that you can find at cubs.com. Just find the clip you want, paste the URL in the Tube TV browser and download it. You can then convert if if necesary for your Ipod or Apple TV, but that's not necessary.
Re: Strategy for Mets Series
I actually think Vedder's song is great. But it's a bit melancholy to be a rally song.
I don't think anyone has better captured what it means to be a Cub fan.
"When you're born in Chicago, you're blessed and you're healed
The first time you walk into Wrigley Field"
"We are one with the Cubs, with the Cubs we're in love
Yeah, hold our head high as the underdog
We are not fair weather but fall weather fans
We're like brothers in arms in the streets and the stands"
"In the same ballpark, our diamond, our jewel
The home of our joy and our tears"
Re: Strategy for Mets Series
Vedder's song is whiny and Cubs funs get accused of that all too often.
Me? I would like to hear a "spirited" cover of "Go Cubs Go," by : 1)Dinasaur Jr.
3)any random polka band
4)random death metal band
5)Bluegrass band
Assemble the musicians and get to work!
Re: Strategy for Mets Series
I agree totally. First time I heard the song, I thoroughly expected Michael Flatley to come out and start dancing that damn "Lord of the Dance" crap! I understand that Vedder is a Cub fan and just wants to add to the Cub mystic, but that song just "ain't" going to cut in CHICAGO!
Re: Strategy for Mets Series
I am just trying to figure out how Pearl Jam is selling their own bootlegs. Talk about an oxymoron.
Re: Strategy for Mets Series
PJ records all their concerts, and they're available for download from their website the next day for like $9.95. It's actually a really cool deal. You can download the entire concert you just saw (or pick any other show that has a playlist you want). Not sure if they still do, but they also used to mail the discs to go along with it as well.
Anyway, the point is, they record everything so that's why that song is now available for download.
Re: Strategy for Mets Series
Yup... bands never sell live music. Ever.
Re: Strategy for Mets Series
Nothing is whinier then death metal.
Re: Strategy for Mets Series
Your mom disagrees. She says Brick is.
Re: Strategy for Mets Series
Nope sorry, the whiny list goes like this:
Death metal
Rage Against the Machine
Bob Dylan
Sarah Palin
Manny (from here)
Al Gore
Rosie O'Donnell
Colin Cowherd
Cindy Sheehan
Terrell Owens
Rage Against the Machine

Re: Strategy for Mets Series
They're all desperate for your mom too?
Re: Strategy for Mets Series
Most of the world is it seems.
Rage Against the Machine though are desperate for decent lyrics. Keep chasing that dream boys!
Re: Strategy for Mets Series
I say we kidnap The Hold Steady and force them to give up the Twins and learn to love the Cubs. There's no better band for this team.
Here's their version of Take Me Out To The Ballgame. It's Twin's-centric but it freakin rocks.
Re: Strategy for Mets Series
Why yes it is.
That was the worst remix ever.
Re: Strategy for Mets Series
I didn't look at the lyrics closely. That line is so key, too. We are foul weather fans.
And it is a great closing time song for Wrigley Field bars.
Re: Strategy for Mets Series
Funny, I thought the lockeroom division champ hat is butt ugly. Do you really want an "08 MLB" logo on the front brim of the cap?
I purchased a different one on Cubs.com, just to have a momento.
I'd happily pay a few extra bucks for a 2nd (and maybe 3rd) hat.
Re: Strategy for Mets Series
I'd hope to see Soto sit 3 times this week, and Lee, Ramirez, and Soriano sit 2 times each....just mix them up so only one is sitting at a time. I'd have to think MLB would accept that without question.
I do not think it would be the right decision, but I fully expect to see Zambrano start game 1 and Game 5. I see Harden starting game 3.
What I'd want:
1. Dempster
2. Zambrano
3. Harden
4. Lilly
5. Dempster (assuming a good game 1 start)
What I expect:
1. Zambrano
2. Dempster
3. Harden
4. Lilly (Or Z on short rest, down 2-1)
5. Zambrano
Re: Strategy for Mets Series
That's 9 days off over seven days. It's going to be quite a trick to sit only one at a time. I agree with the thought though. I would like all the starters to get Saturday or Sunday off. With that and the 3 days until the start of the playoffs, they should be good. Theriot is getting overpowered by thigh high 90 MPH fastballs. He can rest 4 days this week, if they think that will get him going.
Re: Strategy for Mets Series
Lord of the Dance? That clown doesn't stomp to slow stuff. The Vedder tune is a classic drinking song with the requisite repeated phrase, in this case, "Someday we'll go all the way" to be sung at the top of one's inebriated lungs. It's not meant to whip fans into a frenzy.
I like a lot of Steve Goodman's songs but Go Cubs Go is, without a doubt, his worst. It makes Bear Down Chicago Bears seem like Stravinsky.
Oh, and I doubt Marshall will be left off the post season roster. Seems like it's between Marquis, the Notre Dame guy and Howry.
Re: Strategy for Mets Series
Rob G , I meant Cubs fans. Don't be so anal. I stand by my suggestions. It's matter of taste. "Go Cubs Go" on its own is pretty lame; it needs aggression. I don't wah wah crying in my beer victimhood. No prisoners! That's the idea.
Marshall should stay on the roster. Howry? Not so much.
Re: Strategy for Mets Series
Harden in game 2 makes a lot of sense, since you know the bullpen will be working 3 innings and they'll have Friday off.
Re: Strategy for Mets Series
Well, you may be right, but I would also expect Harden to be stretched out a little more in the playoffs. He has averaged 99 pitches a start since coming to the Cubs (and 97 pitches with the A's), but I would expect him to be pushed further than that in the playoffs.
Of course, if he has the same control as he had in the last start, he will be lucky to finish 5 innings again.
Re: Strategy for Mets Series
Vedder is a poseur from Evanston who pretended to be from Seattle until it was convenient for him to be from the Chicago area. No biggie, but he's a whiny guy from the get - go; let's try for something else, please.
Re: Strategy for Mets Series
BTW, why does the song have to mention the Cubs specifically? "Jump" was a pretty good tune for the '84 team, and no one gave a damn that it wasn't about the Cubs.
Re: Strategy for Mets Series
I think the best team anthems are the ones that arise organically. As much as I effing hate that the White Sox stole "Don't Stop Believin'" back in 2005, that one just started as a rallying cry for the team and stuck around. Trying to force Steve Goodman on us, and now Vedder's song feels just that - forced (and I love Pearl Jam, but I feel the song is a bit too slow/repetitive/sentimental to be a rallying song).
Re: Strategy for Mets Series
Jump is/was a terrible song. It signaled the end of Van Halen as a great rock band.
Re: Strategy for Mets Series
Re: Strategy for Mets Series
To each their own, I guess, but I love Pearl Jam, and I think this song rocks. Of course, I don't expect everyone to agree, it's just my opinion. I've been listening to it about every couple of hours since I first heard it. And I'll continue to listen to it at least for the rest of the season.
As far as a rallying song - it's not great. It doesn't have the ring of a rallying song. It's more of a bar song that everyone can sing along with while drinking their beer.
Re: Strategy for Mets Series
I'm no great Pearl Jam fan, but I think the Eddie Vedder song is poetic, touching and real. I am a Cubs fan in large part because it connects me to my memories of my Dad, who died when I was 7 years old.
"In the same ballpark, our diamond, our jewel.
The home of our joy and our tears.
Keeping traditions and wishes made new.
The place where our grandfathers' fathers they grew.
A spiritual feeling if I ever knew.
And if you ain't been I am sorry for you."
EV captures the pull of memories, our connections between the past and the present and our love of a place and a team and our hope within an epic struggle. You can hear in his voice that he means what he says -- and he sings it with true hope for the future. Yes, someday we'll go all the way.
I listened to it about 5 times through and by the 5th time, when the words and the emotion of his voice had sunk in, I was in tears.
Most sports team songs are just plain bad or embarrassing. This one is beautiful and moving. IMO.
Good job, Eddie Vedder.

There's no point in arguing music, it's too subjective. Let's just get a college marching band and some hot cheerleaders and go at it.

Meh, I messed that up. Mets are in.
Cards and Giants can still tie though.
Kershaw gets hurt by his defense and gave up 2 more runs. Blach has 8 shutout innings.
Mets already won as did Cards.
tomorrow is gonna be helluva fun if Giants hold on. We're all rooting for a 3-way tie I presume.
good news is now 5 K's for Lester through 4 (in a quest for 200 for season). Bad news is he's already at 86 pitches.
be curious how long Maddon sticks with Lester to try and let offense get back into it and get him the win (4-2 as I type, was 4-0)
Fwiw, he needed 2.1 IP to cross 200 for season so he got that at least. He also needs 9 K's for 200K's on season and he has 4 through 3.
cubs score 2 runs thanks to predictable reds pitching and horrible CIN defense...cubs only down by 1 now. heyward even got a gift 2rbi double out of an easy popout. neat.
something named Ty Blach has outpitched Clayton Kershaw through 6 innings (1-0 Giants).
not that finishing 2nd place will matter much nor did this game, but have to think if Hendricks pitches well tomorrow, he could leapfrog Lester in Cy Young voting. Don't see anyway Scherzer doesn't win it regardless and it doesnt' look like Lester has any incentive clauses that matter. Also might give Cueto some votes.
Rather remarkable how many teams have really good 1-2 options this year.
Nats: Scherzer and Roark (and Strasburg was great before injuries)
Cubs: Lester and Hendricks (and Arrietta is still damn good just not as consistently lately)
pretty much what I'm gathering from this thread is that it doesn't matter who you play in 5-game series, but no one wants to have to deal with Cardinal fans if we end up losing.
I can respect that.
first game for lester giving up more than 2 runs since july 24th. hell of a run.
doh, yes...dunno what happened there. jake arrieta is all "bro wut?"
lester going for #20...cubs haven't had a LH (thanks jpep for the correction) 20 game winner since d.ellsworth in 1963.
fwiw, all the games are free on mlb.tv
Short rest for MadBum would be 2 days. WC game is Wed., Games 1 & 2 are Friday/Saturday.
A left-handed one...
J-Hey not finishing with an offensive onslaught.
If Geoff Blum could be a Playoff hero, there is hope still...
Giants scare me. I think you're wrong about Bumgarner, he would pitch on short rest for Game 2 and then full rest for Game 5. Cueto would go Game 1, then short rest in game 4. Add in some really tough outs in that lineup and I want nothing to do with them. With that rotation they can easily steal a series.
Cards are a tough matchup. The rivalry evens out their comparable lack of talent. And like someone said, they love HRs, which is how to beat the Cubs. The upside is that I would feel really good about Lester twice against STL.

LOCKPORT – Yahoo will save more than $45 million under the terms of a state and local package of tax breaks and electricity discounts for the second phase of the company's data center in Lockport.
That's on top of more than $100 million the company saved in the benefit package it received when it agreed to locate the original data center in the town's industrial park in 2009.
And the savings total could grow if Yahoo extends its hydropower contract with the New York Power Authority beyond its proposed seven-year length.
Yahoo is planning to create 115 more jobs in Lockport on top of 77 people it already employs. Most of the new jobs would be in the call center, a 24/7 customer service facility to be included in the center section of the new three-building complex planned for construction in the town industrial park.
The Buffalo News used figures from the Town of Lockport Industrial Development Agency, Empire State Development and the Power Authority to arrive at the savings total of almost $45.2 million.
That works out to $393,000 per job.
The power allocation alone in the 2009 deal, which was 15 megawatts, saved Yahoo an estimated $101.2 million, or nearly $810,000 per job. Counting the estimated value of tax breaks and other incentives, Yahoo saved about $250 million on the original deal, The News reported at the time.
On the other hand, Lockport IDA Executive Director David R. Kinyon said, the expansion will result in a total of $30.8 million in new revenue, based on estimated income tax payments by Yahoo's new employees and corporate franchise tax payments by the company.
Property and sales tax savings for the company are estimated at nearly $30.6 million for the expansion. Kinyon said the benefit calculation "clearly" comes out on the plus side for the local governments.
Last week, Yahoo reported that it made a profit of $390 million in the first three months of this year, on revenue of $1.14 billion.
The Lockport IDA will be holding a public hearing and vote at 9 a.m. Thursday in Town Hall, 6560 Dysinger Road, on the property tax and sales tax portions of the deal.
Andrea L. Sammarco, attorney for Lockport construction and real estate executive Glen C. Miller, sent a letter to the Lockport IDA opposing the incentives.
"We believe that no further reward of tax incentives to this billion-dollar company is really required in order to sweeten the pot," Sammarco wrote in the letter Miller released Monday.
The Power Authority must hold a public hearing on its latest contract with Yahoo. Authority spokeswoman Connie Cullen said Monday the hearing hasn't been scheduled yet, but it will likely be held in the Power Vista at the Niagara Power Project.
The giant Lewiston hydroelectric plant is the source of the 7.2 megawatts of power Yahoo is being promised in a seven-year contract. Cullen said it would save Yahoo $1.8 million a year. The Power Authority will be charging Yahoo about 3 cents per kilowatt-hour, or roughly half of its standard rate.
That's a saving of $12.6 million, based on current electricity prices.
Pete Gallivan, Western New York spokesman for Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo, said Yahoo has been approved for the new Excelsior Jobs Program, which sets up a maximum of $2 million in tax credits over the next 10 years.
"It is also dependent upon Yahoo meeting job-creation benchmarks," Gallivan said. "Under the agreement, they are required to create a total of 115 new full-time jobs over the duration of the agreement: 30 by 2014, 85 by 2015 and 115 by 2017, maintaining that total through 2023."
Kinyon said that based on current tax rates, Yahoo will save $19,875,758 on property taxes over the next 18 years.
If tax rates rise, which they generally do, Yahoo will save more.
Since there is no general town tax in Lockport, all the savings will be money given up by Niagara County and the Lockport City School District.
As was the case with the first deal, Yahoo again will pay no property taxes for 10 years on the value of the $168 million data center and call center project,
After that, the company will make payments in lieu of taxes for eight more years. It will pay 20 percent of full value in the 11th and 12th years; 40 percent in years 13 and 14; 60 in years 15 and 16; and 80 percent in years 17 and 18.
For the next 20 years, Yahoo will pay no sales tax on any building materials and equipment it purchases for the new facilities.
The exception to that is that materials for repairs and maintenance to the structures will be taxable.
However, Kinyon said, Yahoo won't be taxed on new computer equipment it buys for the data center, which he said is replaced every few years.
Based on information from Yahoo, Kinyon estimated the value of the sales tax exemption at $10.72 million.

Wiepie Rojas ('13) | Fulbright Scholar
Hometown: Waxahachie, Texas
As recipient of the prestigious Fulbright Scholarship, Wiepie Rojas is expanding her worldview by teaching English in Malaysia and hoping to make a difference in the youth of the country.
I was truly intrigued by Malaysia's goal to become a developed country by 2020. I hope that I can assist in a small way with that goal.
Rojas, a graduate of ACU's Department of Agriculture and Environmental Sciences, will spend the next 10 months working with rural students both in and outside the classroom.
"I think it will be an extremely transformative experience," Rojas says. "I am looking forward to the adventure of it, but mostly the ability to serve in another culture."
Rojas says she has little experience with Asian culture and was hoping to expand her worldview. "I was truly intrigued by Malaysia's goal to become a developed country by 2020," she says. "I hope that I can assist in a small way with that goal."
Embarking on adventure
Rojas describes her first impressions of being in a new culture:
"Malaysians are very friendly and service-oriented so I've felt quite comfortable with my surroundings," Rojas says. "Quite a few people speak English, and we are staying in a fancy hotel these first 2-1/2 weeks for orientation, so I don't think culture shock is settling in just yet. And Kuala Lumpur, the capital, hasn't seemed as overwhelming as this West Texas girl would have thought; it's probably a combination of prayers and my puffy Aladdin pants."
The country is ethnically diverse, Rojas says. "You see a generous mix of Malay, Chinese and Indian people on top of tourists from all over the globe. Even though we are in a very urban area, the landscape is so beautiful and green. The first day it rained three times, more than it does in Texas in a year."
Rojas will be teaching in the state of Pahang in the city of Benta, near the famous Cameron Highlands and whitewater rafting.
"Apparently, I'll be crossing a river to go to teach every day. Sounds like my kind of adventure," she says.
Journey to boldness
Educating students, however, will not be her only objective. Rojas hopes to find a way to minister to these children without breaking the law.
"Proselytizing is against the law here as Malaysians are required by their National Constitution to be Muslim, but I am praying and believing for boldness and opportunities where I can share my faith," Rojas said.
She has high hopes for forming community and a stronger relationship with God during her time in Malaysia.
"That is truly what I hope this trip becomes - a journey to boldness and confidence in the Lord."

Shannon O'Brien smiles as she watches kindergartners hold onto the side of the pool, laughing while they kick their feet freestyle in the water behind them.
By the numbers
40% of children report they are able to swim, but only 18 percent had ever taken a swim lesson from a certified instructor. (USA Swimming)28% of Hispanic children and 26 percent of African-American children responded, "I taught myself." (USA Swimming)37% of Americans say they're not good swimmers and 13 percent say they can't swim at all. (American Red Cross)85% of drowning deaths among children 5 and younger occur at a home, while 45 percent of fatalities among children ages 5 to 14 occur at a public pool. (safekids.org)66% of drowning deaths occur between May and August, and most commonly on the weekends. (safekids.org)A parent or caregiver claimed to be supervising the child in nearly nine out of 10 child drowning-related deaths. (safekids.org) Recreational boating accidents caused nine drowning deaths among children 12 and younger in 2010; more than half of the children were not wearing personal flotation devices (PFDs) or life jackets. (safekids.org) Black children ages 5 to 14 have a drowning rate three times that of their white counterparts. (safekids.org)Low-income children are at greater risk from non-swimming pool drownings. (safekids.org) During 2005–09, an average of 3,880 people died from unintentional drowning (including boating incidents) annually in the United States. (CDC)During 2005–09, an estimated 5,789 persons on average were treated annually in U.S. emergency departments for nonfatal drowning. (CDC)Georgetown County Y-splash program teaches kids swimming, water safetyFolks in Georgetown County are also working to prevent drowning. Through a partnership with Georgetown County School District, all second-graders in the district participate in Georgetown County YMCA's Y-Splash program. The program was born out of tragedy. Georgetown County is home to Sandy Island, one of the last inhabited islands in the state that has no link to the mainland. Sandwiched between the Pee Dee and Waccamaw rivers, it's home to about 100 residents who commute to and from the island by boat.In February 2009, three people drowned when their 15-foot fiberglass boat capsized while crossing the 300 yards to the island.None wore life jackets, authorities said."In the wake of that tragedy, (Y-Splash) was something that was implemented and will forever go on to prevent drownings," said Amy Mitchell, membership and marketing director of the Georgetown County YMCA. "We want to help them better understand the safety that they need to take heed to when around the water."The program has taught about 750 second-graders every year since 2010-11.In addition to learning swim basics, students learn how to put on life jackets, how to use a safety ring and what to do if they see someone in trouble.
"You can just see the happiness in their little faces," she said. "For many, many of these children, this is their first experience in the water. And many of them live right by it."
O'Brien, a retired schoolteacher, is director of Lowcountry Aquatic Project Swimming, which started providing swim lessons to kindergartners and first-graders this year in 14 Charleston County schools. The lessons are taught at four pools under the leadership of 20 trained instructors.
About 1,000 students who might not otherwise learn to swim will get lessons before school lets out for the summer.
"The goal is to get them used to the water, so if they were to fall in, they could paddle themselves to the side."
In a Lowcountry dotted with and surrounded by water, drownings happen all too often.
Georgetown County YMCA started a program for all second-graders in the county's public schools in 2010, the year after three residents drowned while trying to cross from the mainland to Sandy Island, an inhabited island with no link to the mainland.
This month a 65-year-old Johns Island man fell into a pond while fishing and drowned. His relatives said he could not swim.
Startling statistics
Like many others, O'Brien, an avid swimmer from a family of swimmers, shudders every time she hears about a drowning. She wants people to enjoy swimming, not fear the water.
The statistics are startling:
84 drowning deaths in South Carolina in 2010, the most recent year statistics are available, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Drowning is the fourth-leading cause of death among children up to age 17 statewide, the S.C. Department of Health and Environmental Control said.
For every child who drowns, four more are hospitalized; for every hospitalization, four are treated solely in emergency rooms, DHEC said.
Nearly 70 percent of black children and 58 percent of Hispanic children have low or no swimming ability, compared with 40 percent of whites, a 2008 study by USA Swimming revealed.
Black children ages 5 to 14 are three times more likely to drown than white kids in the same age range, according to the CDC.
LAPS targets kids in schools with large concentrations of low-income families.
"The reason we are targeting these schools is due to the lack of access for them, the lack of transportation and those extra funds to pay for lessons," O'Brien said. "That, and the fear. The fear is very real."
A 2010 USA Swimming study found the main reason children don't learn to swim is "fear of drowning."
Although lower income families — those whose children qualify for free or reduced lunch — often said they couldn't afford lessons, the research also showed that even if the lessons were free, many still wouldn't let their children swim. And that answer came from all races.
"Many parents have come to me and told me they don't know how to swim," O'Brien said. "They're certainly nervous (about LAPS) at first, but once their kids come home and they see their enthusiasm, they are much more relaxed. Several have come and asked if we give adult swim lessons."
Jane Harris, aquatics director at the Berkeley County Family YMCA in Moncks Corner, said fear also motivates parents to sign up their children for lessons. She sees that often in families who come from St. Stephen, Cross and Santee, who live on the shores of lakes Moultrie and Marion.
"So many of the parents never were taught to swim, and they want to make sure their children know how because they wouldn't know how to save them," she said. "They see the water and freak, so they want the kids to learn so they can go out there and swim by themselves."
Learning in school
While many area recreation departments offer swim lessons to paying customers, LAPS is currently the only swim program offered through Lowcountry schools.
O'Brien's brother, Orange Grove Elementary physical education teacher Michael Walsh, started a swim program at his school in 2009, funded by a $2,000 grant from the Logan Rutledge Children's Foundation. He now teaches the same curriculum as LAPS.
The foundation has raised more than $100,000 since 2001 through projects that include the annual Lowcountry Splash open-water swim. It has given money for water-safety programs in the school district for several years, but it went largely untapped, mostly because there were no programs to fund.
Foundation founder and president Mark Rutledge — now also CEO of LAPS — asked his friend O'Brien, who was elementary athletic liaison for the school district, to get involved.
She found the Columbia-based Swim Lessons University program, which focuses on teaching basic skills and is heavy on record-keeping, helping instructors track students' progress.
"It has a very succinct, progressive way of teaching skills that appealed to the teacher in me," she said. "It stresses repetition, repetition, repetition."
LAPS provides everything free — transportation to and from pools, swim instruction, and equipment, including suits when necessary. The students attend 30-minute classes twice weekly for four weeks.
O'Brien would like to see the program expand to every elementary school in the county.
Other schools and organizations, including Charleston County Park and Recreation, have plans to start using it, O'Brien said.
Officials in Dorchester and Berkeley counties said they hope to offer school-based lessons after new aquatics facilities are built in both counties.
In the meantime, leaders throughout the community continue to do what they can to raise awareness about water safety.
Rep. Wendell Gilliard, who tried to pass legislation in 2008 and 2010 calling for public schools to offer free swimming instruction, last year sponsored a resolution declaring May "Water Safety Awareness Month" and encouraged public schools to provide at least one hour of instruction on water safety during the month.
At the same time, Charleston County introduced another Swim Lessons University program, "Water Smart 101," a classroom-based program that's taught in every elementary school.
"It is about preparing our children to be safe," Superintendent Nancy McGinley said when the program was introduced.

William Pierce, who died on July 23, 2002, gained renown in far-right circles throughout the world as the author of The Turner Diaries. A fictionalized account of an apocalyptic Aryan revolution in the United States, the book was the inspiration behind one of the worst terrorist acts committed in the United States - the 1995 bombing of the federal building in Oklahoma City that killed 168 people. As founder of the National Alliance, the largest and most active neo-Nazi organization in the United States, Pierce used several media - weekly radio addresses, the Internet and most recently white power music ventures and racist video games - to promote his vision of a whites-only homeland and a government free of "non-Aryan influence." Since Pierce's death, his followers have vowed to carry on his work.
William Pierce, a native of Atlanta, Georgia, has been active in the extremist movement since the 1960s. A Ph.D. in physics, he taught at Oregon State University from 1962 to 1965 and, during that time, briefly joined the John Birch Society, a hard-right political organization. He stopped teaching as his political views grew more radical and, in 1966, moved to Washington, D.C., where he began associating with George Lincoln Rockwell, the founder and leader of the American Nazi Party. Pierce claims that he was never a member of the ANP, but he met with Rockwell often and became the editor of the National Socialist World, a quarterly aimed at intellectuals and academics that was published by Rockwell's World Union of National Socialists.
After Rockwell's assassination in August 1967, Pierce became one of the principal leaders of the National Socialist White People's Party, the successor to the ANP. In 1970, Pierce left the NSWPP and joined the National Youth Alliance, a far-right political group (with neo-Nazi leanings) founded by Willis Carto in 1968 that attempted to recruit college students to "smash" liberal causes on campus. (Carto, head of the extreme-right Liberty Lobby, established the NYA after an earlier incarnation of the group, Youth for Wallace, failed to get Governor George Wallace elected as president in 1968.)
By 1971, Pierce and Carto were openly feuding. Carto accused Pierce of stealing the Liberty Lobby mailing list to send letters that vilified Carto's group. Ongoing disagreements between Carto and Pierce and their supporters caused the NYA to split into factions, and by 1974 Pierce's wing became known as the National Alliance. Since then, Pierce has run the group and edited its magazine National Vanguard (originally titled Attack!), as well as an internal newsletter, National Alliance Bulletin (formerly called Action). He also broadcasts the group's "American Dissident Voices" weekly radio address and controls other businesses associated with the NA: National Vanguard Books, Resistance Records and Cymophane Records.
Forming the Cosmotheist Church
In the early years of the National Alliance, Pierce held weekly meetings near Washington, D.C., in an effort to attract people to the organization. At the same time, Pierce was formulating a philosophy that became the basis of what he called "Cosmotheism," a racist religion that stresses the superiority of the white race and the unity of the white race with nature.
In 1985, Pierce relocated the National Alliance from Arlington, Virginia, to a 346-acre farm in Mill Point, West Virginia, which he bought for $95,000 in cash. He called his new compound the Cosmotheist Community Church. (There has been some speculation over the years that at least some of the money used for the purchase had come from the proceeds of bank and armored- car robberies committed by The Order, a white supremacist terrorist gang that included National Alliance members and whose aims were drawn from Pierce's novel, The Turner Diaries.) Pierce's formation of the church may have been a last-ditch effort on his part to avoid paying taxes; he had tried, years earlier, to acquire tax-exempt status for the National Alliance itself by claiming that the organization was educational. The Internal Revenue Service denied his application in 1978; he appealed, but an appellate court upheld the I.R.S. decision. As it happened, the Cosmotheist Church did receive federal, state and local tax-exempt status, although it lost its state exemptions in 1986 for all but 60 acres and those buildings being used exclusively for "religious purposes."
An Autocratic Leader
The NA owes much of its strength to Pierce's autocratic leadership style. He differs from most leaders on America's far right because of his intellectual abilities and the discipline he demands from his followers. Though not particularly dynamic or charismatic, Pierce is well-educated, focused, organized and carefully tends his group's image. He maintains the organization's relatively high profile by publishing a steady stream of publications; producing speeches for the group's weekly ADV radio broadcast; and writing copy for the monthly, members-only National Alliance Bulletin as well as articles for Resistance magazine.
Pierce tightly controls the NA's message by requiring adherents to obtain his permission before they speak publicly or create new propaganda materials. His strict enforcement of these rules has helped the National Alliance conduct its activities with little of the internal politics and strife that have sapped the strength of other hate organizations.
Pierce's Ideology
Pierce is cognizant of the fact that the vast majority of Americans do not accept National Socialism as a viable political ideology, so he attempts to present his views in a manner palatable to an American audience, particularly middle-class professionals he wants to attract to his group. In interviews Pierce has emphasized that he does not like to use the term neo-Nazi and shuns Nazi uniforms and displays of Nazi symbols. He says, "Most level-headed people, even if they think of themselves as National Socialists, are going to be hesitant to get involved with that kind of circus." Instead, Pierce uses articles, the Internet and particularly his weekly ADV radio addresses to disseminate his propaganda.
The ADV broadcasts are aired on local radio stations, can be picked up in most of the country on shortwave radio and can be downloaded in audio form from the NA's Web site. Transcripts of the speeches are sent via e-mail to subscribers and are sent to financial supporters in the form of a monthly newsletter called Free Speech.
Much like his writings, Pierce's weekly radio broadcast is incendiary. While the particular topic varies depending on current events, Pierce's message never essentially changes: each broadcast is a springboard for the NA's enduring bigotry and anti-government contumely. And while Pierce's invective targets several minorities, he depicts Jews as being at the root of social, economic and political problems affecting the white population of the United States and Europe.
Although Pierce eschews visible tokens of Nazism, in his speeches he plainly vaunts National Socialist ideology. In the December 16, 2000 ADV broadcast, Pierce championed Nazi Germany, envisioning a future United States that would resemble Hitler's Third Reich. He enumerated various policies modeled after the Third Reich that he would like to see implemented, including forced sterilization of women and children on welfare; forced sterilization of children who have a congenital defect; social and economic incentives for "the brightest and healthiest women" to have large families; and "clean and orderly communities, with lots of healthy white children, hiking and camping and learning crafts or folk traditions."
In an ADV broadcast about one month later, on January 27, 2000, Pierce used Nazi-like imagery in comparing Jews to blood-sucking ticks and pathogens that destroy the white race. "We were fit three thousand years ago when we lived in an environment that did not include Jews," Pierce said. "Even in Europe when Jews were present, we eventually developed antibodies against them that allowed us to survive....Letting Jews into the United States was like giving smallpox-infected blankets to the Indians. They used us to break down the Old Order in Europe with two ruinous, fratricidal world wars."
Advocating Violence
Pierce is often contradictory in his statements. Although he claims that he does not advocate violence, his ADV speeches are often filled with violent images and incitement toward violent action, not only against Jews but also against whites whom he views as "race traitors." In a March 25, 2000 ADV speech, Pierce railed against white women who date black men, "Why should I not be able to do what is right and natural and kill those who commit such an abomination?" (The punishment and murder of interracial couples is a prominent theme in Pierce's two novels, The Turner Diaries and Hunter.) In the same speech, he directed his rage once more against the Jews: "We should be going from door to door with a list of names and slaying those who have engineered this assault on our people....And we know who the engineers are....They are, first and foremost, the media bosses and the other leaders of the Jews."
In another speech on November 11, 2000, Pierce, using Holocaust imagery, talked about "feminized, Judaized wimps," white men who are not doing their part to advance the white race: "The feminized wimps need to be removed from our government, from our media, from our educational institutions, and replaced by real white men....That'll be a tough job....I don't really care how the job is done -- whether the wimps all get machine-gunned and bulldozed into giant lime pits or whether their thinking is eventually straightened out by a program of prolonged trauma and privation."
Although Pierce promotes violence in his speeches and novels, he is careful to distance himself from those in the movement who commit violent acts. He has also made it clear that any NA member who gets into trouble with the law should not expect legal or monetary assistance from the NA.
The Turner Diaries: Inspiring Criminal Acts
Nowhere is Pierce's promotion of violence clearer than in The Turner Diaries, a novel he wrote under the pseudonym Andrew Macdonald. Considered required reading by virtually every member of the white supremacist movement in the United States and by many extremists abroad, the book describes the world takeover of an all-white guerilla army called the Organization, and the army's systematic extermination of blacks, Jews and "race traitors."1
While he penned The Turner Diaries more than two decades ago, Pierce continues to champion its ugly vision of a world for whites only. A National Alliance radio broadcast aired in early 1997 provides one of many examples:
In 1975, when I began writing The Turner Diaries...I wanted to take all of the feminist agitators and propagandists and all of the race-mixing fanatics and all of the media bosses and all of the bureaucrats and politicians who were collaborating with them, and I wanted to put them up against a wall, in batches of a thousand or so at a time, and machine-gun them. And I still want to do that. I am convinced that one day we will have to do that before we can get our civilization back on track, and I look forward to the day.
The Turner Diaries is thought to be the inspiration behind a number of violent crimes, most notably Timothy McVeigh's bombing of the Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City in April 1995. The bombing, which killed 168 people, was the worst terrorist act ever committed in the United States. McVeigh was so impressed with the Diaries that he sent copies of the novel to friends, with notes encouraging them to read it, and sold the book at weekend gun shows. In addition, in a search of the car McVeigh drove on the day of the bombing, F.B.I. agents found a copy of a highlighted passage from the Diaries, which focused on terrorist bombings of the United States Capitol and an airliner bound for Tel Aviv.
The Diaries also inspired a crime spree in the early 1980s perpetrated by a white supremacist gang called The Order (the inner circle of resistance fighters in the Diaries was named The Order). Led by Robert Mathews, the Order attempted to bankroll an Aryan revolution; its crimes included murder, robbery, counterfeiting and the bombing of a synagogue. More recently, inspired by The Order and The Turner Diaries, members of a white supremacist gang calling itself the Aryan Republican Army committed 22 bank robberies and bombings across the Midwest between 1992 and 1996.
The activities of The Order have also been cited as a role model for an alleged conspiracy by a group of white supremacists in East St. Louis, Illinois, who called themselves The New Order. In March 1998, federal authorities arrested three men in the group who planned to bomb the Anti-Defamation League's New York headquarters, the Southern Poverty Law Center in Montgomery, Alabama, and the Simon Wiesenthal Center in Los Angeles. They had also talked of bombing state capitols and post offices and poisoning public water supplies with cyanide. Like other admirers of The Order, members of the group were reportedly heavily influenced by The Turner Diaries.
Pierce's sequel to The Turner Diaries, called Hunter, has also become popular among white supremacists. It tells the story of a drive-by killer who tries to cleanse America of its "sickness" by murdering interracial couples and eventually "working his way up" to assassinating Jews. Hunter is dedicated to the racist murderer and synagogue bomber Joseph Paul Franklin, who confessed to killing as many as 18 individuals between 1977 and 1980 in an effort to start what he called a "race war." All of his victims were interracial couples, blacks, Jews or white women who said they had dated men of another race.
New Ventures: The Internet and White Power Music
William Pierce has initiated many new ventures since he wrote The Turner Diaries. He was quick to understand the potential power of the Internet and to take aggressive steps to incorporate it into the National Alliance propaganda arsenal. The organization relies on the Internet as a tool for recruitment and for broad, inexpensive dissemination of Pierce's ideas in the United States and abroad. National Alliance literature and The Turner Diaries are available on the NA Web site in a
number of languages, including Swedish, French, German, Portuguese and Russian. Pierce's ADV broadcasts are also available in several formats.
In 1999, Pierce turned his gaze toward a new industry -- white power music. In April of that year, he purchased Resistance Records, a music company that features white power bands playing rock, Oi and heavy metal music, with fierce lyrics directed against Jews and other minorities. Resistance was originally founded in 1993 by neo-Nazi skinheads from Canada who operated the company out of Detroit in order to avoid Canada's strict anti-hate propaganda laws. In addition to selling CDs, the company published Resistance magazine, which featured articles on the white power music scene. American and Canadian authorities raided Resistance in 1997; the company was temporarily put out of business until it was purchased in 1998 by Pierce's old nemesis, Willis Carto, and Carto's business partner, Todd Blodgett, a former low-level staffer in the Reagan administration. Pierce and Blodgett later worked out the deal that led to Pierce's taking control of Resistance.
In the fall of 1999, Pierce also purchased Nordland Records, a Swedish white power music company, and folded it into Resistance Records, in effect doubling the company's inventory. In addition to selling CDs, Pierce relaunched Resistance magazine, which had ceased production when the company was raided.
Pierce saw these purchases as an opportunity to reach out to the group that had the most potential to carry out his vision of a white revolution: young alienated racists and neo-Nazis. In the first issue of the revived Resistance (Fall 1999), he wrote, "Resistance Records will be producing and distributing music which speaks directly to the soul of our people. It will be the music of our people's renewal and rebirth....It will be music of defiance and rage against the enemies of our people."
In the Spring 2000 issue, Pierce expressed his hope that "resistance music" would influence young people who are not yet politically motivated. He said: "Through music I want to give them more awareness and a better understanding of what needs to be done. Music is truly a mass medium which reaches and influences everyone, not just those who are already politically committed."

During 2000, Pierce enhanced his ability to penetrate into the neo-Nazi youth culture in the United States and abroad by making business deals with a young German neo-Nazi, Hendrik Möbus.
In 1993, Möbus, then 17, and two other members of his band Absurd were convicted of killing a 14-year-old boy in the former East Germany. Möbus was released from prison after serving just over five years. While incarcerated, he promoted a genre of music known as National Socialist Black Metal or NSBM. The music combines neo-Nazi ideology, neo-paganism and anti-Christian and anti-Semitic rhetoric with a heavy-metal sound.
Once out of prison, Möbus continued to produce and promote NSBM music and was active in neo-Nazi groups. In July 1999, he violated probation by giving a Nazi salute and, shortly thereafter, was ordered to finish his sentence for making demeaning and mocking statements about his murder victim (both actions are illegal in Germany). In December 1999, Möbus fled to the United States and, in August 2000, was arrested by United States marshals near the National Alliance headquarters in West Virginia, where he had been staying with Pierce. During Möbus's incarceration in the United States, he became a cause célčbre for the National Alliance,
which raised money for his defense and held rallies — joined by members of other extremist
groups — to demand that the United States government grant him political asylum. Möbus has
since been deported to Germany to serve three more years in prison.
Although Pierce denied knowing that Möbus was an international fugitive, he was clearly aware of Möbus's situation. Möbus had become a staff writer for Resistance, authoring an article (under a pseudonym) on the NSBM scene in the Spring 2000 issue. The article acknowledged that he "was now on the run, wanted by German authorities with an international arrest order."
In his ADV broadcast of September 9, 2000, Pierce claimed that he and Möbus had met to help Pierce "establish new outlets in Europe for [Pierce's] records" and to discuss "the role of music in our overall effort." It appears that Möbus was helping Pierce to make inroads into the NSBM scene. In June 2000, through Möbus's help, Pierce purchased a stake in Cymophane Records, an NSBM music company.
These forays into the resistance or "hatecore" music business are not only part of a well-considered attempt to advance Pierce's agenda in the United States and in Europe -- they are also potentially lucrative. Pierce and the National Alliance stand to make millions of dollars; in DM News, a direct marketing magazine, Pierce said that he expected Resistance Records to gross between $500,000 and $700,000 in sales in 2000.
Ties to Extremists Outside of the United States
Pierce's embrace of white power music also signals his desire to further strengthen the ties between "racial nationalists" in the United States and Europe. In the pages of Resistance, he wrote, "The revolution we're building in America is also being built by others in every country in Europe....Sharing our music is a way to do that."
In fact, Pierce's interest in building ties to nationalists abroad extends beyond neo-Nazi youths. Over the years, he has established close ties to leaders in the British National Party, a racist, anti-minority, neo-Fascist party in Great Britain, and to the Nationaldemokratische Partei Deutschlands (NPD) -- the German National Democratic Party -- an ultra-right-wing nationalist party in Germany. (After a series of violently racist and anti-Semitic incidents in Germany in 2000, authorities there have considered banning the NPD, which attracts a large neo-Nazi following.) Pierce has made a number of trips to Germany in the last few years to attend NPD events and has also invited NPD members to his headquarters in West Virginia. In a speech before the NPD's youth congress in October 1999, Pierce reportedly told the attendants that "it is essential -- not just helpful, but necessary -- for genuine nationalist groups everywhere to increase their degree of collaboration across national borders."
The same week Pierce spoke to the NPD congress in Germany he also attended an international conference of nationalists in Thessaloniki, Greece, which reportedly included racist leaders from Greece, Portugal, Romania, Belgium, Denmark, Holland, Germany, Austria and South Africa.
The Future for Pierce
Pierce has said that he considers the NA to be "the only serious, mature, radical right-wing organization in America," equivalent to the NPD and the BNP. The National Alliance has grown significantly since its early days and currently has over 1,500 members and over 35 cells across the United States. Pierce promises to guide the organization with a strict hand, attempting to reach out to various segments of the population -- from young neo-Nazi skinheads to middle and upper middle-class professionals. He has said, "We are currently engaged in the work of creating political consciousness." Pierce clearly believes he can convince enough people to bring about his "white revolution." His optimism is supported by the fact that he is revered in the hate movement both in the United States and abroad and is currently one of the most popular figures on the far right.
William Pierce died on July 23, 2002. He was 68. His death will fundamentally, and probably adversely, affect the National Alliance, which centered on his personality. More >>
1Previously sold only by the National Alliance, the book is now published by Barricade Books and is available in most major bookstores. Barricade Books has reportedly sold thousands of copies since its first edition hit the shelves in late 1996.

By my Fiance, Rachel
I found myself in Portland, visiting my aunt Carrol, her husband and their daughter. Their daughter was a curious thing to see, because unlike her very Caucasian parents, she was black.
When I arrived at their suburbia house I reflected that I should have visited the last time I had come to Portland. We decided to go out for the day and the whole family rode on unicycles. I myself rode a regular bicycle, however it was being pulled by my remote control Subaru, which was about the size of a loaf of bread. Though I was up on my bike, I was able to reach my thumb into the Subaru on the ground through its sunroof. This was how I controlled it. I thought to myself, "How cool, this thing can pull me up to 35mph".
We were all going somewhere, and we began to climb a hill. As he rode our multi wheeled bikes up the hill it suddenly became completely vertical. We were still able to ride our bikes up the vertical incline despite the physics of the situation until we reached the small lip of the cliff top. We all had to grab hold and pull ourselves up over the lip of the cliff, and pull our bicycles up over with us.
Once we climbed up and over I noticed a sign that explained the vertical hill was actually a piece of art. The sign read, "For more concrete art, look around the city for these gems." Below that was the artists name, and then finished, "To add whimsy and love to peoples lives."
"I thought to myself, "What the hell?" because at this point, I hated everything.
So here we stand, basically on this cliff side with a forty foot drop in front of us. We hopped over to an interactive water fountain, but it was winter in Portland, so the water was not running. It was very perilous, but we climbed down the water fountain to the ground below, and once again, we were at my aunt Carrols house.
We all went inside and began to chat about how the last time I was in Portland I was too busy to visit, because of my fashion event. My relatives asked me if I was going to pursue fashion. We also spoke about school, and I explained about a school that I like in Manhattan. They began to explain how their daughter had gone to Make-Up school. Their daughter tried to explain to me about Make-Up school, but her severe ADD was getting in the way. She could only get out a few words before being distracted by something.
Every time she got distracted, I tried to steer the conversation back to school, "So you were telling me...?" and "What about Make-Up school again...?"
My aunt then said, "You're a teacher, aren't you?"
I replied, "I'm not really a teacher, but I teach small classes on chocolate and cheese."
"Oh." she replied, "I could just tell by the way you talk."
The daughter became particularly distracted, despite my best attempts to redirect the conversation. She kept clicking her fake acrylic fingernails together.
And then I woke up.

MLK event to mix spoken word, hip hop
By K. Williams Brown
Thursday, January 22, 2009
The Statesman Journal
He's appeared on HBO's Def Poetry, spoken nationally about the plight of Gazans and lectured the U.N. and members of the U.S. Congress.
Mark Gonzales, a celebrated spoken-word and hip-hop artist, will give two free shows at Willamette University as part of the school's celebrations of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. Gonzales' show is called "King's Legacy: A Lyrical Look."
Gonzales speaks about oppression around the world but eschews Power Point presentations in favor of elegantly constructed and devastatingly delivered poetry and raps.
"I think he's going to share his thoughts, his passions — he's going to talk a little bit about the MLK legacy, and the performance side of him will blend into that," said Gordy Toyama, the director of Multicultural Affairs and the chair of the MLK committee. "It's not a hip-hop concert, per se."
Gonzales' performance is part of a week-long celebration at the campus, and, Toyama said, it will hopefully give students and the wider community a new perspective on the continuing struggle for civil rights.
"Traditionally, when people think about civil rights and Dr. King, they think of civil rights from the black experience," he said. "What happened then still exists now, it just exists in different communities ... I think that's the bridge we're trying to create. This is not a historical thing — in reality, work is still happening today, and here's folks that are doing it."
There's at least one group that should be especially excited: The middle and high school students of Willamette Academy studied Gonzales over the summer, and he'll work with them while he's in town.
The free lecture happens 11:30 a.m. today in Cone Chapel and 7:30 tonight in the Putnam University Center's CAT Cavern on Willamette University's campus. The evening show should be a bit more "unleashed," Toyama said.

I visited Arizona and spoke at the AZGroups event with Scott Guthrie and Brady Gaster. While I was there my friend Eric Herbrandson (you might remember him from ScratchAudio and Hanselminutes) invited my wife and the kids over to the AppFive offices to check out their Electron Microscope. This isn't a tiny microscope...it's huge but it looks at tiny things all using WPF software that's written by AppFive. Forgive the cell phone video, this was originally intended as just a bit of video for myself but I thought you guys might enjoy it as well.
Oops, something didn't work.
Very cool Scott! Thanks for sharing!
Scott, this is great and your family is awesome, thanks for sharing

"Everything was perfect," says Masche, who plans to take her husband's last name. "It's awesome to get to be with the person you really feel like God created for you."
But for them, the road was long and hard.
After Masche split from her ex-husband, Bryan – the father of her 4-year-old sextuplets Savannah, Bailey, Grant, Cole, Molli and Blake – she officially began seeing McClendon, a separated father of two boys whom she had dated years before. While talk soon turned to marriage, neither was divorced, so they promised each other when they were able to wed, they would.
On March 8, they finally kept that promise.
"I was officially divorced on March 2, and that day I wrote, 'Will you marry me?' with a big smiley face in our journal," McClendon says. "She didn't get it until two days later when we were going out to breakfast and she wrote, 'Yes! Yes! Yes!' It was really cute."
Right then and there, they planned their wedding day around their work schedules. The following week, they packed their kids into a big van and drove to San Diego where Masche knew of a tiny beach that was special to her.
"We stopped at the store and bought flowers and the kids and I made an aisle in the sand. We had iPod speakers and played 'Marry Me' by Train, and the six kids and I walked down the aisle," explains Masche.
The bride and her daughters wore white bathing suit cover-ups, and her sons and McClendon's boys donned matching board shorts. They tied the knot surrounded only by their eight children, a pastor and one of Masche's cousins, who served as the photographer. "It was the most magical, special, amazing day," adds Masche.
After saying their vows, they two exchanged rings that McClendon had engraved (Masche's says, "I am my beloved's and he is mine," and McClendon's reads, "I am my beloved's and she is mine") and danced in the sand, before having a pizza party with their children in a hotel suite.

And everyone in the family is hoping for a new baby some time in the future – though not quite yet.
"We absolutely want kids together, and the kids are excited about it," says McClendon. "My 10-year-old just said he wants to name the baby Fritz!"
But for now, they're just basking in newlywed bliss.
"God only knows what trials are a head of us and what amazing times are ahead of us," says Masche. "But I found somebody who's going to make it worth it."

A sexy meerkat from the island of Horslunde. One lucky enough to find this mythical female in her natural habitat will witness untold splendors--the stuff of legends. Her mesmerizing gaze is stunning and can catch even the greatest of hunters off-guard. She is naturally very difficult to catch, as her well-traveled feet move quickly around the world (and the dance floor). Only through a combination of serendipity and pure devotion can one hope to approach her. According to those fortunate few who have seen her, to know her is to love her, and with a single look you too will fall in love. This is because her heart is made of pure gold, thus making this creature the most adorable meerkat known to man--and woman.
Have you ever seen anything so amazing as Piv?

Due to the rain's saturation of the drag strip and the three hours preparation required to dry the track by 7:30 p.m. before the dew moves in, Palm Beach International Raceway's management team had to cancel the race as there was no way possible to put on a race that would be safe for the drivers.
Spectators who purchased their tickets online for either two-day or Saturday tickets will be valid for the 2014 PRO Winter Warmup. Please keep your ticket and return in January 2014 for admission for either night of the event.
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Guest Services at 561-622-1400.
