Missing Tucson girl's parents still have hope
TUCSON, Ariz. -- The parents of a girl who went missing from the bedroom of her Tucson home say they are hopeful that she will come home someday.
Becky and Sergio Celis tell the Arizona Daily Star that they hope renewed efforts by Tucson police will give clues as Isabel Celis' disappearance reaches the two-year mark Monday.
Eight detectives were assigned in January to review the case and conduct new interviews.
Becky Celis says she someone may remember something with the passage of time.
Sergio Celis called police the morning of April 21, 2012 after finding 6-year-old Isabel wasn't in her bedroom.
Police canvassed the girl's neighborhood, nearby parks and even a landfill.
They have declined to say whether the child is believed to still be alive.

Thousands of area residents lined Dunlawton Boulevard to watch the 34th annual Christmas Parade held on Sunday, Dec. 4, in Port Orange. About 20 Palmer students donned the Spine costume, greeting spectators and tossing candy to excited children and families who enjoyed the annual event. The parade, which passed directly by Palmer's Florida Campus, included floats, marching bands and organizations from the local community. Tiffany Clark, a 10th Quarter student, who organized Palmer's participation in the event said, "We all had so much fun. I was really impressed by the warm reception we received and the familiarity with Palmer. Hopefully we can do this again next year so other students get a chance to experience the fun."
Palmer won first place in the parade for non-float entry.

Best of all, there was a performance drive of all the vehicles. It has finally occurred to the advocates of clean-air transportation that competitive performance is the only way to prove that green vehicles are ready for the garage of anyone who is not Ed Begley, Jr., the well-meaning but off-the-beam actor who has long been an enthusiast of electric vehicles. Of course, the performance test was nominally an evaluation of fuel economy, requiring the competing vehicles to negotiate 100 miles of the road circuit at Sears Point at an average speed of 45 mph. But it looked more like a special test of the World Rally Championship, as assorted hired guns from auto racing tried to maintain an average speed of exactly 45 mph in the shortest time possible while their navigators called out the lap times to the nearest tenth of a second. We saw SCCA racer Bryon Farnsworth in a PZEV-certified Volvo S60 from Volvo North America and Jim Russell Racing School-instructor Mark Wolocatiuk in an LPG-fueled Ford Crown Victoria from SA Motorsports. NASCAR shoe Bobby Hamilton was racing Dodge's diesel-powered pickup truck so hard that he was blackflagged by race control.
At the end of the three-day event there were plenty of winners in a bewildering number of categories, much like a kid's soccer tournament where everyone is expected to go home with a positive self-image. You can read all about it at www.challengebibendum.com. All the vehicles were assembled for a souvenir picture with the Golden Gate Bridge in the background as Bibendum, the Michelin Man himself, waved gaily. We have the following observations to report:
Challenge Bibendum has become an important event simply because it rounds up every important clean-air vehicle and provides a worthwhile glimpse of relative real-world performance. For example, there were fourteen fuel cell vehicles, the most ever gathered in one place. Challenge Bibendum also shows us that the green vehicle sub-culture has finally reached critical mass. There are recognizable spokesmen, interesting vehicles, lots of enthusiasts, fun events, a big race, and even a magazine, The Green Car Journal.
For all this, the circumstances that inspire ever-cleaner, ever-more-fuel-efficient vehicles are certainly no joke. Even a sixty percent increase in CAFE fuel-economy standards would not close the gap appreciably between this country's consumption of oil and its domestic production. American demand for petroleum-powered personal transportation will double by 2020, and by then we'll face dramatically increased competition for fuel from rapidly increasing vehicle fleets in places like China and India. It's no wonder the science guys are so serious about the issues of efficiency improvement, pollution reduction, and new fuel production so seriously.
It is possible to make fuel from some pretty disgusting stuff, as the promoters of bio-diesel proved with vehicles powered by sewage, sludge, and even household kitchen grease. But there's something about it that makes you feel like you're driving inside a newsreel taken of life in Russia during the 1930s.

It all comes down, essentially, to the statement by Microsoft that the next Halo title won't star Master Chief. "Lateral thinking", as RPS puts it, can easily see the possibility of yourself stepping into the 'title' role in an interaction with the franchise. Certainly the groundwork is there - we know that Bungie has some lore tucked away behind the scenes. They know lots about that world we haven't seen in the games yet, and odds are they'd love to get it out somehow. Halo 3, by the same token, has a bunch of MMO-like elements already embedded. Much like Call of Duty 4, your participation in multiplayer matches impacts a persistent 'character'. The site has a few links for you to follow (including one to an interesting Microsoft research paper), and some videos as well.
All of this is just speculation, just the same. What do you think? Are we likely to see a brand new Bungie-helmed MMOFPS sometime in the future?

Hash House A Go Go
Hash House A Go Go brings their innovative breakfast dishes with them wherever they a go-go. Diners can dip gridded French toast in banana-cinnamon cream or saw into the mammoth-sized fried-chicken eggs Benedict while feeling the breeze of the Atlantic or searching for trees carved with "George Washington loves Martha." And no matter where the restaurant's kitchen bustles, its ingredients and recipes come straight from the farm. Meatloaf and chorizo enliven hashes and scrambles, whereas sweets such as brown-sugar banana elevate more than five flapjack varieties.
The creativity at Hash House doesn't end when lunch rolls around, either. Cooks create one-pound stuffed burgers by packing mashed potatoes or crumbled blue cheese between two patties. By dinner, plates are weighted down by 16-ounce ribeyes served with pumpkin mashed potatoes, and fried salmon with sweet-and-spicy barbecue, goat cheese, and fresh tomato served on garlic mashed potatoes.

^Back To Top
Let's face it, we are all ready in the middle of one. With the firing of JEFF IRELAND and hiring his replacement in DENNIS HICKEY as our new general manager, the team has new direction. Unfortunately, as I have been saying since midseason last year, Miami needed to get rid of the general manager, head coach, and coordinators. Two out of four has been done. We're just in a wait mode to axe Philben and Coyle. "Wait for it ... it's going to be ..." (sorry, I just can't write "Lengenday" right now).
Offensively we saw MIKE SHERMAN get the boot at season's end, and we saw BILL LAZOR hired as the new offensive coordinator. Coach Philben made a good decision here even though he was forced to fire Sherman.
Currently there is a lot of inconsistency in the pass game, but the running game has improved majorly in run blocking and we've seen very decisive running by LAMAR MILLER. Even DANIEL THOMAS looked good and useful last week. When the Dolphins get KNOWSHON MORENO back, he will be an even bigger boost to the run game and the offense. Moreno makes better decisions, is a very good blocker, explodes quickly through the hole, and elevates his team with his attitude. Moreno also catches passes better than Miller as Miller all ready has 3 drops this year and a fumble.
BUT you don't have a running game if you are not using it. The Dolphins have been very pass heavy in Lazor's playcalling and they only have 1 rushing touchdown in 3 games.
This isn't the Bill Lazor that we expected when he was hired as he has worked under Dan Reeves, Joe Gibbs, Mike Holmgren and Chip Kelly in his coaching career. Every one of those coaching greats said very good things about Lazor after we hired him. He came very highly recommended and he chose the Dolphins over the Lions who are stacked offensively.
We expecedt a balanced attack of run and pass plays, and we expect him to go with the hot phase of the offense. What we have seen is a repeat of Mike Sherman's pass happy offense with the short safe pass plays. I find it hard to believe that Lazor has full control of the offense when I see a repeat of Sherman. In fact, I will go out on a limb here and say that the offense will improve and he could be our next head coach. He is that smart.
As Rich said this week ...
- Some things to think about.
- Ryan Tannehill is second in the NFL in pass attempts.
- The Dolphins are 7th in rushing yards and 2nd in yards per rush.
- The Dolphins are 23rd in rushing attempts.
- We don't have Peyton Manning or Aaron Rodgers at quarterback, folks.
- We should not even be in the top 10 in passing attempts.
- We also shouldn't be in the bottom 10 in rush attempts.
- The lack of balance on offense has been staggeringly mind boggling considering how well we run the ball.
When Joe Philben was hired as our head coach, he said that the Dolphins are moving from a 3-4 defense to a 4-3 defense. We all knew that was a huge mistake. It had taken years to move to the larger and athletic linebackers of the 3-4 scheme and our defense is going to have to be rebuilt to get to the 4-3. Ireland took a big step in the process last year by adding Dannell Ellerbe and Phillip Wheeler and booting out Karlos Dansby and Kevin Burnett. That proved to be a horrendous move. Even though Ellerbe and Wheeler played very well the previous year, they failed miserably with the Dolphins. Wheeler ranked dead last compared to other outside linebackers in the NFL in 2013.
Last year we had some young talent, but Coyle was hesitant to use and develop them in games. He is wasting young talent and putting them in positions where they will not achieve their potential. I mean, why put Dion Jordan on the defensive line where he has to put his hand in the dirt rather than line up at linebacker and let him do his magic? He even has Chris McCain lining up at DE. I do like Coyle's agressiveness, but he feels he can put players in his scheme and it will work. He needs to get adjust his defense more to the talent that he has.
The zone defense is giving up long third down completions, and the tackling is horrendous the past two years. Why can't Coyle see that we have the corner to press the receivers and that they've done well in that regard when called upon? I swear, seeing all of this each and every game makes me want to turn off the game each week as it is frustrating.
As we saw this week, Philben caused a lot of controversy by not saying that Tannehill was his starter when he had planned to keep him in as his starter all along. Geez, grow a brain stem and make smart team decisions. I do like his personality improvements this year as far as relating to his team, but you have to wonder if he has lost his team all ready. Three years in as the head coach you should see improvements in his thought process. I don't see it as he keeps making mistakes.
While Philben has been elusive and pointing fingers at his team to the press, Bill Lazor has been taking the blame of the offense on himself and standing behind his quarterback in public. What Lazor is doing is what a head coach should do, and take care of business in-house.
Yep, I am tired of using the excuse that the offensive line is not blocking well and this is causing Tannehill to rush his thought process. Guess what? It is still true. I will say that Tannehill has improved in each game this year, and I expect him to show improvement throughout the year. I really like his skillset, and I think that Bill Lazor will be able to develop it. BUT Tannehill needs time to throw the ball. He has been so used to rushing his reads knowing that he is going to be hit that perhaps it has ruined him. He was a young and developing quarterback when we drafted him, but being hit or sacked on every pass has got to have a toll on him mentally.
And how about the highest priced receivers catching the friggin' ball? Right now the Dolphins rank #1 in the NFL in dropped passes. No kidding.
What would I do with Tannehill? I would keep him as our starter, but I would also pull him out if I felt he was not being effective. Matt Moore is a backup quarterback for a reason. With Tannehill, we have to make a decision this year if he is the franchise or not. Lazor has worked with a lot of quarterbacks, and I think Tannehill could be a slower learner than some others. Tannehill really did not play all that bad last week, but he didn't do much to push the ball downfield. He seems to be playing it safe and he's looking Mike Wallace's way too much. I like it that Wallace is getting used more as he can be a home run threat every time he touches the ball, but throw the ball around, too.
Where is Tannehill's leadership? I don't see it, and that is concerning. If he does not take the next step forward he will get benched. There is no surprise there, but now is not the time. As I said, bench him during games if the offense is not effective. I think people will see that the backup is usually not the savior.
The offensive line has to block much better and the receivers need to catch the ball. He needs help. Is he Andrew Luck? Not right now, which is why a lot of fans had the "Suck for Luck" thing going on. Not many quarterbacks coming into the NFL are as good as Andrew Luck.
So, I am asking everyone to quit panicking, because the team needs to rebuild from the top. We have our GM and we have our Offensive Coordinator. The Dolphins will have to replace Philben and Coyle in the offseason. It is what it is, so, try to enjoy the season.
Be sure to download our FREE browser toolbar for Firefox, Internet Exploder, and now Google Chrome. We keep it updated with all the current links that keeps us informed. I promise you that will not be able to live without this toolbar!
It's what the Miami Dolphins are lacking, and it's what is needed to get back on course, because right now the Dolphins are off course. From Joe Philbin, to Kevein Coyle to Ryan Tannehill there is a lack of leadership, someone needs to step up as a leader to keep this franchise from floundering.
Coyle is being criticized by the defense, Philbin is being criticized by Tannehill, Tannehill is being criticized by Philbin, a lot of finger pointing to go around, and it's what can happen with a lack of leadership, born out of frustration. The answer is easy, get a strong leader, but easier said than done. Leadership is much more than being appointed as the leader, in our day to day jobs that's usually enough, but on an NFL team that isn't enough.
True leadership is measured by being someone others will follow, it's not just being in charge, it's those you're in charge of, wanting you to be in charge. Some one to rally around, some one who's banner you will fly proudly, some one who has the right answers.
The Dolphins need a real boost of leadership, this would get everyone on the same page, clearly they are not on the same page right now, and things will most likely get worse before they get better if no one steps up as a leader. There's not much good to talk about right now about this team, a win in old London town against the Raiders would be a start, not a fix, but a start, but an emerging leader, that would be a fix.

dixsea Posts: 9Hi,
Just got my Audi Q5... awesome ride!
Does anyone know how to change the voice from a female to a male voice?
I changed it on my Cayenne, no problem; but I have not been able to figure out how to change it on the Audi.
Took delivery on Monday & I must say I am thrilled with the drive, the comfort and all the bells & whistles! :shades: -

charliemango Posts: 6Just started seeing this issue. I have an early 2010 Q5. By way of example, display will show a right turn in 150 yards, voice will say right turn in 100 yards. Basically it's consistently off anywhere between 50-300 yards. If anyone else has had this issue, I would be grateful for your thoughts. Also, does anyone know what the latest version of the MMI software is? Thanks.
charliemango Posts: 6Just started seeing this issue with my early 2010 Q5 - voice directions are out of sync with screen instructions. By way of example, display will show a right turn in 150 yards, voice will say right turn in 100 yards. Basically it's consistently off anywhere between 50-300 yards. If anyone else has had this issue, I would be grateful for your thoughts. Also, does anyone know what the latest version of the MMI software is? Thanks.
danielb6752 Posts: 10They do not provide free updates to the maps database, but they do update the MMI operating system occasionally when the car is in for service. I have noticed a couple of new features after getting the car back from these updates, most notably the ability for the car to draw which lane to take at an intersection (think a 6 lane wide highway splitting into 2 3-lane highways, it can say stay in the left 3 lanes).
joescars Posts: 2Similar to the stories I've read online, many of us have experienced problems with Audi's MMI system. This is the core computer for the entire car - so a very important component that should work flawlessly.
Not only are we experiencing problems but the dealers are saying they won't replace the part under warranty. Often, they're claiming a spill (user error) caused the problem, resulting in a $1000 repair. Although quick to claim a spill caused the problem (default response), they are unable to show us that some sort of spill was the definitive cause of the problem. At times they state that claim and are then unable to substantiate it with any evidence. Many of us don't even recall spilling liquid on the console.
I don't think this is right on several levels. First of all, if this is such a problem, they should have engineered these cars better. If they're going to locate a computer right next to several cup holders in the center console, then protect it from spills! Put a rubber gasket between the buttons and the computer and cover the top of the damn computer so it's not open to liquid spills from above. Also, don't just claim you suspect a spill broke your poorly engineered computer without testing your theory. Hook it up for diagnostics or something. Show the owner evidence of a spill on the circuit board something.
I don't know how it works but am interested in joining other owners with the same complaint in a class action suit. I think Audi should pay better attention to their customers and admit to their problems. -
danielb6752 Posts: 10I believe audi has available a MMI -> USB cable which would likely allow your droid to show up as an external drive in the MMI interface... but I cannot verify this. I know it was designed for external HDDs and USB keys.
I believe they also have an analog input cable which would let you use pandora, albeit not in an integrated/hands-free fashion.
As far as things like Google Maps? Methinks not. -
jdadamsjr Posts: 16Don't get the navigation...
The maps on the wife's 2011 were obsolete the day we brought the car home and now I've heard that there has never been a map update -
the 2009's still have not gotten an update.
For 2 years Audi has been telling me they are in the final stages of release. Even closed my BBB complaint by telling me the update was ready. :lemon:
Save yourself the money and frustration - skip the nav and buy a garmin with quarterly updated lifetime maps. -
cdeneo Posts: 5On a new 2013 Q5 - are the maps on the navigation system new or really old as mentioned in one of the posts on this thread?
Also, do the navigation upcoming turns show up in the instrument cluster in front of the steering wheel? I test drove an A6 and saw this awesome instrument cluster navigation integration - wondering if that carried over to the Q5 or not.
Any input would be much appreciated. -
ksusarla Posts: 9I have the same question. Looking to buy a 2014 audi q5 with navigation, is MMI Package worth it at all ?. also can someone explain their experience and usability of audiconnect ? Dealer has mentioned that its free for the first six months (i have to say, i was floored with google maps navigation option), though i agree the downstream bandwidth of 1Mbps on average is worse.

I'm glad that Fallout is not going MMO. I'm not disparaging MMO games, but I hate how some of my favorite single player games (Elder Scrolls, Warcraft(I enjoy the campaign)) have been turned into MMOs. I don't like paying to play a game every month. Even with the free to play wave I still like to get lost in a big world all on my own to explore and discover the stories. I look forward to sequals because I want to see how the world and stories will be developed, but not at the cost of a monthly payment, risk of server crashes, or dealing with internet assholes.
The other problem with MMO-ized franchises is that the lore will probably stay in the MMO forever. Look at Warcraft, all of the new stories are confined in WoW, effectively preventing any future installment of the franchise. I fear that Star Wars KOTOR is going to face the same fate. If there's a new game installed after the MMO, then that practically spells the death of these MMOs, doesn't it?
What do you think?

text: Deuschl G et al. – Deep brain stimulation (DBS) in the thalamic nucleus ventrointermedius or neighbouring subthalamic structures reduces tremor by about 90%. However, no controlled trials of DBS have been done, and the best target is still uncertain. Better drugs are needed, and controlled trials are required to determine the safety and efficacy of DBS in the nucleus ventrointermedius and neighbouring subthalamic structures.

The Darby Translation (DBY) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 And after Abimelech, there rose up to save Israel Tola the son of Puah, the son of Dodo, a man of Issachar; and he dwelt in Shamir on mount Ephraim. | 1 After the time of Abimelech a man of Issachar, Tola son of Puah, the son of Dodo, rose to save Israel. He lived in Shamir, in the hill country of Ephraim. |
2 And he judged Israel twenty-three years; and he died, and was buried in Shamir. | 2 He led Israel twenty-three years; then he died, and was buried in Shamir. |
3 And after him rose up Jair, a Gileadite; and he judged Israel twenty-two years. | 3 He was followed by Jair of Gilead, who led Israel twenty-two years. |
4 And he had thirty sons who rode on thirty ass colts; and they had thirty cities, which are called the villages of Jair to this day, which are in the land of Gilead. | 4 He had thirty sons, who rode thirty donkeys. They controlled thirty towns in Gilead, which to this day are called Havvoth Jair. |
5 And Jair died, and was buried in Kamon. | 5 When Jair died, he was buried in Kamon. |
6 And the children of Israel again did evil in the sight of Jehovah, and served the Baals, and the Ashtoreths, and the gods of Syria, and the gods of Zidon, and the gods of Moab, and the gods of the children of Ammon, and the gods of the Philistines; and they forsook Jehovah, and served him not. | 6 Again the Israelites did evil in the eyes of the LORD. They served the Baals and the Ashtoreths, and the gods of Aram, the gods of Sidon, the gods of Moab, the gods of the Ammonites and the gods of the Philistines. And because the Israelites forsook the LORD and no longer served him, |
7 And the anger of Jehovah was hot against Israel, and he sold him into the hand of the Philistines, and into the hand of the children of Ammon. | 7 he became angry with them. He sold them into the hands of the Philistines and the Ammonites, |
8 And they oppressed and crushed the children of Israel in that year; eighteen years [they oppressed] all the children of Israel that were beyond the Jordan in the land of the Amorites, which is in Gilead. | 8 who that year shattered and crushed them. For eighteen years they oppressed all the Israelites on the east side of the Jordan in Gilead, the land of the Amorites. |
9 And the children of Ammon passed over the Jordan to fight also against Judah, and against Benjamin, and against the house of Ephraim; and Israel was greatly distressed. | 9 The Ammonites also crossed the Jordan to fight against Judah, Benjamin and the house of Ephraim; and Israel was in great distress. |
10 And the children of Israel cried to Jehovah, saying, We have sinned against thee, both because we have forsaken our God, and also served the Baals. | 10 Then the Israelites cried out to the LORD, "We have sinned against you, forsaking our God and serving the Baals." |
11 And Jehovah said to the children of Israel, Did I not [save you] from the Egyptians, and from the Amorites, from the children of Ammon, and from the Philistines? | 11 The LORD replied, "When the Egyptians, the Amorites, the Ammonites, the Philistines, |
12 The Zidonians also, and Amalek and Maon oppressed you, and ye cried to me, and I saved you out of their hand. | 12 the Sidonians, the Amalekites and the Maonites oppressed you and you cried to me for help, did I not save you from their hands? |
13 But ye have forsaken me, and served other gods; therefore I will save you no more. | 13 But you have forsaken me and served other gods, so I will no longer save you. |
14 Go and cry to the gods that ye have chosen: let them save you in the time of your trouble. | 14 Go and cry out to the gods you have chosen. Let them save you when you are in trouble!" |
15 And the children of Israel said to Jehovah, We have sinned. Do thou unto us according to all that is good in thy sight; only deliver us, we pray thee, this day. | 15 But the Israelites said to the LORD, "We have sinned. Do with us whatever you think best, but please rescue us now." |
16 And they put away the strange gods from among them, and served Jehovah; and his soul was grieved for the misery of Israel. | 16 Then they got rid of the foreign gods among them and served the LORD. And he could bear Israel's misery no longer. |
17 And the children of Ammon were called together and encamped in Gilead; and the children of Israel gathered together and encamped in Mizpeh. | 17 When the Ammonites were called to arms and camped in Gilead, the Israelites assembled and camped at Mizpah. |
18 And the people, the chief men of Gilead, said one to another, Who is the man that will begin to fight against the children of Ammon? he shall be head over all the inhabitants of Gilead. | 18 The leaders of the people of Gilead said to each other, "Whoever will launch the attack against the Ammonites will be the head of all those living in Gilead." |

What are the pros? prolific plant
What are the cons? description says determinate
Planted these on a whim. Got a little carried away in the spring after a long winter. Seeds sprouted ok, withstood me almost killing them a few times. Early in the season there were lots of tomatoes, and they were ripe before my siberian tomatoes. I wasn't so nuts about them at the beginning but now I can't get enough. The plants keep on growing and putting out more tomatoes, I bet they'll go on till the first frost. All the tomato plants at the community garden are dead from blight except for these. It's amazing, they keep on growing and outgrowing the blight. Maybe it's beginners luck but I'll definitely be planting these next year. Good for salads, drying, canning, making sauce. Just not big enough for BLTS!

What are the pros? Very tasty
What are the cons? Not determinate!
These are fabulous. I have around 20 of these plants growing this year. We could not get enough of them last year. I have many large clusters of fruit. These are extremely vigorous and I do not believe they are truly determinate. My plants are still growing at 6' tall and blooming & setting new fruit. I started harvesting ones and twos in early July and am now getting into the bigger harvests. I have harvested 3# of these this week... with tons more to come. These went into the ground mid-April, in a poly covered tunnel with a frost blanket to guard against our low overnight temps. We love these dried with the heirloom yellow pear tomatoes to put on pizzas, in sauces, etc. I've had very strong germination with these seeds, with no supplemental heat under them for germination. I germinate at room temp in my home under fluorescent lights.

What are the pros? Amazing flavor
What are the cons? none
I didn't have a huge yield of these, unfortunately. I think i only ended up with one plant because some of my starts didn't make it. Its unfortunate because the flavor of the tomatoes I did get from that one little plant were so amazing. So good to eat raw and fresh. They tasted like a delicious homemade tomato soup. They were savory and didn't have any off flavors. When we would get a few, we would fight over them. Next time I will plant a whole bunch of these.

What are the pros? Most productive, delicious
What are the cons? None
This variety has been, by far, the most productive (and delicious) variety of the many I planted this year. I'm writing this New Year's Eve day, having just harvested 30 delicious fruits from my one plant this morning. I planted it for "sun-dried" (actually oven-dried) tomatoes, but they are delicious in salads or out of hand as well. Perfect.

What are the pros? Hearty and plump
What are the cons? Hit and miss with plants.
I'll be planting these again. A few plants were just adequate and the other half of the plants went nuts! They ended up overflowing the growing areas and filling basket after basket upon picking. The sundried tomatoes are so tasty-- like candy!

I was a journalist, a web-tv guy, a public relations consultant, a social media expert (have a good laugh on that one), a photographer, a dreamer, a curious kid, one who wouldn't accept things as given, a pain in the ass class representative and a Master of Political Science. In fact, in one way or another I am still all of that.
I dug to the core of all the above and ended up being a storytelling consultant (or should I say story thinking) and communication strategist.
I do consulting for organizations, companies, entrepreneurs, leaders and startups. I help them to use the power of storytelling for better communication, for change processes, for pitches or business and product development. My work manifests in workshops, process design, sparring sessions or projects.
Besides consulting I tinker on own business ideas like kleinerdrei.co and nonprofit projects. My workspace is at Betahaus Hamburg and therefore converts from being a studio to being an office to being an 80 square meter innovation space to being a relaxed café.
Last not least I am a father of two and a husband of one.

*insert iphone emoji of waving hands*
It has been a long time huh? and I have missed BLOGGING, ermagawd......
How have you been?!
Chilling? Working? Traveling? No matter what, know that as long as you are A-L-I-V-E, breathing, able to read this post lol! that You are Gooood !
Alright Alright to the point of this post.....
In this day and age, there seems to be so many people on social media reposting, retweeting, facebooking, basically sharing encouraging Godly scripture, memes, quotes, pictures, videos, and much more. My opinion? I love it! Picture me jumping like that girl in the Easter Payless commercial, "I love em, I love em"
hilarious! |
I know Jack, ask em again! Listen, why is it okay for people to re-post all types of vines (some I do find funny), funny videos, and especially memes about "B**ches be like"...."N**gas be like".....but when I wanna rap about Jesus, I should be quiet...because its not Sunday? *Insert crickets chirping here*
Listen Hunty, My God's more than Good to me 86,400 seconds every minute, 60 minutes every hour, 24 hours every day, 7 days of every week, anddd 365 days of all of the Twenty-something years I have lived on this earth....*pause for breath*. He's working things I don't even know about in my Favor. He is shielding demons, idiots, and crazy situations from me. He protects me. He guides me. He listens to me. He cares about me. He gives me new grace every morning....grace: as in undeserved mercy. He forgives me when I mess up for the 500,024,237,891st time and counting. He loves me more than the most romantic man on the planet, more than the best father you know of, and the kindest person in your world. He is Liiikeeeee that..... and more.
So the next time someone wants to make you feel guilty about reposting something you feel in your heart will encourage them in the Lord... go ahead and be proud of the God who is proud of you.... repost it. The next time you want to start groaning that all this Bible stuff is too much on my timeline sheesh ermagawd...........
You might want to sip you a hot cup of "Jesus is coming lemme get my life" tea.
And the next time you scroll down your timeline and you don't see enough of spiritual life and encouragement, I hope you'll feel bold enough and whip out a good word and post it.
You never know who might need it.
You Love Jesus, right?
So therefore start showing it.
In the words of one one of my favorite gospel rappers "Th'Isl", "I'm soo gonneee, I'm so outta here..."
LOL! I know, y'all aint on that gospel rap tip...
*peace fingers*

Clergy are Mandated Reporters of suspected child abuse in most jurisictions. This past week had the sadenning/madenning responsibility to make a call to the local Child Welfare office. Kid who live next door to the church comes over with a golf ball-sized bruise on his face and a story that just didn't wash. Parents (if you can call them that) had kept him home from school as well.
So after calling I kep half-waiting for an irate dad to come over with evil intent. Felt good knowing that I was prepared.
In the long run, nothing happened. I got the disposition letter from Child Welfare and it was one of those lame "didn't meet state requiremnents for intervention" statements.

The UK's first AgustaWestland AW101 Merlin HC3 transport helicopter to be made available for use in Afghanistan has arrived in the country, and the type will become fully operational before year-end.
Flown to Camp Bastion in Afghanistan's Helmand province on 10 November aboard one of the RAF's six Boeing C-17 strategic transports, the Merlin will now undergo preparations for combat use, with "more expected [to arrive] over the next few weeks", says the RAF. The Merlin force will start operational flying after a "bedding-in" phase of several weeks.
The RAF declines to say how many of its Merlins will be sent to Afghanistan, but says the type "will provide a significant increase in the helicopter lift capability available to commanders on the ground". It adds that the 15t-class aircraft "will perform a wide range of military tasks".
Availability of the Merlin medium support helicopter follows the RAF's use of Boeing CH-47D Chinook HC2/2A transports in Afghanistan since 2006. The smaller type was previously deployed on operations in Iraq until August 2009.
Preparations for the Afghan deployment included making aircraft performance and self-protection enhancements worth £45 million ($75 million) to bring the Merlin up to so-called theatre entry standards.
Personnel from the RAF's 28 and 78 squadrons also took part in the environmental training exercise Merlin Vortex at the US Navy's El Centro training facility near San Diego, California.

Kids love it! Healthy drink!
Awesome kickstart to the day!
WOW!!! This was much different than the usual fruit-sweet and hearty green drinks. It had a more delicate, bizarre touch to the flavors that I REALLY LIKED. Super healthy too, so definitely not a waste of time/ingredients. Great job Heidi!!!

ArtBeast Classes
Class Schedule
Club BEAST (3 to 7 years old): 10 to 12:30
Children enjoy two and a half hours of supervised Art Beast fun. Children will create art, share stories, enjoy a snack, and explore the play spaces of Art Beast.
The sessions are led by Leslie Stair, a mother, artist, and children's librarian with a passion for bringing stories to life through art. Leslie has over 10 years experience working as a Children's Librarian and is a life long lover of the arts who has dabbled in many mediums. She loves sharing books and stories with children and families and finding ways to use art and activities as a means to bring them to life. She also defies all stereotypes about librarians with her joyful energy and spunk.
Children must be out of diapers and pull ups to attend. This is not a series. Each Monday is a stand alone session. Sessions are $20 members/$25 non-members with advance registration.
Art Explorers (3 & up): 11 am: Children will explore the art elements and design principles used in the creation of art. By using a variety of materials we will investigate lines, shapes, colors, textures as well as space and pattern. Teacher: Tonya Murrieta
Baby and Me Music and Art (0 to 2): 9:30 am
Connect with your baby beastie through songs, books, and art exploration. Relying heavily on repetition and close adult/child interaction, the carefully selected components of this class are designed to get you and the little one on your lap engaged with each other as well as the teacher and the other babies in class. A very short (optional) art experience will follow our circle time activities. This will be done on the floor where babies and caregivers can explore art making together and will usually be finger painting or some simple tactile project. This is a quieter, less stimulating class for those who prefer that type of environment. Teacher: Leslie Stair
Storybook Art (Best for ages 2.5-5): 10:30 am
A fun song begins each class and the entire 45 minutes is designed to help young children become comfortable with interacting in a group and listening to a teacher. A noteworthy picture book is shared and discussed in a brief, fun way that relates to young children's experiences. An art activity is then introduced related to the story theme and children are encouraged to create their own unique work of art through experimentation and the exploration of materials. Teacher: Leslie Stair
Yoga and Creative Movement Circle (Recommended for 2 and up): 11 am
Join Michael, a certified yoga teacher with extensive training in engaging children, in this sweet yoga circle designed to delight children. Children gather for a session of yoga that welcomes wiggles and giggles while introducing the poses, breathing, and peacefulness that yoga brings. Michael infuses the session with calm, playfulness and a willingness to see where energy and ideas may lead. He also incorporates creative movement games that explore a range of themes. Teacher: Michael Benton
Little Beasties Sing, Dance, and Create (9 to 30 months): 12:30
This class is designed for little beasties who are mobile and can sit at a table to explore simple thematic art projects with their caregivers. Similar in format to the Baby & Me class but with more variation, more independent movement activities and a lot more energy, this class offers a comfortable transition from babyhood to "big kid" by encouraging young spirits to move their bodies, sing along with the teacher, and explore art making. Teacher: Leslie Stair
Messy Science (4 to 7): 2:00 pm: Children will dive right into the messy part of science as we explore a new theme each session. Children will be encouraged to stretch their brains, creativity, bodies, and imagination as we investigate science. Working together we'll use our silly ideas, playfulness, and curiosity to hypothesize and experiment. Whether making alien goo , rubber bones, or tornadoes in a jar, children are certain to leave filled with wonder. Teacher: Andrew Macarenas
Silly Monsters Movement and Rhythm (3 and up): 10 am
Join us for this session of rampant silliness as we play games that get us moving! Whether tackling an obstacle course, playing with a parachute, stomping dinosaur rhythms, or catching bubbles on our noses, we will be chasing fun and laughter. Teacher: Michael Benton
Art Lab (3-7): 2:15pm: In this class we will explore and create with different art mediums, textures and supplies. We will experiment with collage and mosaic pieces, create unique patterns and design with different sized bits and materials. Children will make and create with different doughs and clay and dive into some paper mache mask and sculpture making. As a class we will investigate different painting techniques as well as work with varying drawing materials like colored pencils, pastels, and crayons all while exploring and experiencing the process of creating. Teacher: Mariah Nall
Art Workshops for Big and Little Beasts: Between 10 am and 11 am: Each Friday features a new workshop to explore the arts. Art Beast provides the supplies and guidance as grown ups and children explore an art together. Teacher: Michael Benton
Juguemos! Spanish Sing, Play, and Learn (2 and up): 11:30
Children develop vocabulary and an ear for the Spanish language as they play and sing in Spanish. Movement games help children integrate the new words they are learning. The instructor is fluent in Spanish and immerses the children in the sounds of this beautiful language. Teacher: Maggie Gomez
Classes are capped at 12 children for most classes. Parents are always welcome to stay close during the class, and many classes invite and encourage parent participation. All classes can be explored without committing to the full series. However, we encourage families to consider trying a class for 4 to 8 weeks so that children get the opportunity to explore the art, build a relationship with the teacher, and develop rapport with their classmates. Monthly memberships include 4 classes a month and annual memberships include 52 classes a year for each child under 7. Drop in visitors to Art Beast can join a class on any visit. Most days there will be plenty of room! Only Art Beast members can reserve a space in advance.
Ready to Register?
Art Beast Members can call the studio to reserve a spot in any class in advance!
Drop in visitors can join classes with open spaces on the day of their visit.
What makes Art Beast different from other studios?
- Our classes are designed specifically for kids under 7
- Our classes emphasize process over product
- You can take a class AND play for hours afterward in our play spaces
- Parents can join many of the classes or easily watch from the comfortable, roomy seating area
- While one child takes a class, you have a building of play spaces to explore with your other children
- Classes beat other studios prices AND include far more than a 45 minute session
- Your child does not need to commit to an 8 week session. They can dabble and try out various classes to find a good fit.
- Every penny earned by Art Beast supports Tubman House, a transitional community for young homeless parents and their children.
What You'll Find in Art Beast's Teachers and Art Coaches
- Experience working alongside children 0 to 7
- A patient, joyful spirit
- Ability to respond to each child's needs in creating a welcoming space
- A warm, friendly hello
- Love for building an inclusive community of families
- Crazy for the arts
- Dazzled by the possibilities present in each child
- Values all individuals and all types of family structures, and shares stories and songs that reflect families and children of many cultures and family types.
- Promotes gender equity by ensuring stories, songs, and other artistic expressions portray both girls and boys equally as protagonists, and by portraying both girls and boys as brave, adventurous, heroic, gentle, loving, mischievous, and spirited.

277 days and counting!
The countdown begins. I am getting married in ten months. That's 39 weeks, 277 days, 6648 hours, and approximately $20,000 away!
Welcome to my world.
Cotton of Maureen Cotton Weddings
Let's be frank: if I had a dollar for every bit of advice I've received from relatives, friends, and even strangers about how our wedding should be, I'd have enough in the bank to pay for the entire day. The goal over the next ten months is to stay true to what is important to the Mister and me, and not what everyone else wants. So far, I'm discovering this is easier said than done...
I'm Expertly Engaged. Expert simply because I am a 'semi-retired' day-of wedding coordinator planning my own wedding. My guy proposed last May. We plan to exchange vows in October. Everything in between will be chronicled in this blog. Some entries will make you laugh, others may cause you to break out in hives. The reality is wedding planning is unpredictable, not for the faint of heart!
I'm turning my filter off in an attempt to let you know how real this journey is. Through my experiences I hope to educate, enlighten, entertain, and even inspire those who may be deep in the trenches of planning a wedding. Or maybe you're just obsessed with weddings. This blog is for you, too.
Sit back and enjoy the next ten months with me. You may not get an invitation to the wedding but at least you can say you were a part of the process!
