Just bought these and they are dying...HELP!
Hi everyone, I'm new to succulents and I must say, I love them! I received some in the mail last week (it took 7days to get to me) and I followed the instructions for after mailing care. But I am pretty sure I am doing something wrong.
I carefully packed in the loose dirt in each of the pots (a lot fell out do to handling) and I watered them as well. Per instructions, I kept them indoors because they were shut in a box for 7 whole days. I moved them outside in the shade today, and they look pretty sad. Any ideas how I can save them?
Hi....I don't have very good luck with these kinds of plants,
I seem to always over water them, they do not like to to wet for any lengh of time at all, and they like lots of sun, so they don't do well at all in my house not enough sun....
the soil they are in looks like alot of peat...try a cactus mix fast draining, move to more sun, slowing so not to sun burn them and keep on the dry side after watering let them dry out a bit...I am sure others will give advice also.....good luck...linda..............
Thanks for your advice Linda!
The soil is actually half perlite and half cactus mix bought at Home Depot. I kept them in doors per instructions from the nursery I bought them from. Because they were boxed and without sunlight for several days, they advised to gradually bring them out in the sun. But I am not sure if I gave them too little light? I watered this guy a week ago and it looks like it didnt take any of the water. Here is another pic of some of the others that came with it. A lot of leaves fell off, many that remain are not firm (rather droopy).
Hi Pirate Girl,
Yes, the instructions were to give it a thorough soaking once it came. I didn't really repot it, more like put in more soil because ALOT of it was out of the pots. In fact one side of the box had the succulents BURIED in their box mates' soil.
I think they're going to be okay. Succulents can hang in longer than most plants, but are slower to show their recovery. In a few more days, start giving them some full sunlight for 1-2 hours a day (not in that shiny pan ... you'll cook them). Once they're fully recovered, these plants like a lot of sun.
Don't water them again until the soil is completely dry, then water thoroughly (drain completely, don't leave any water in that pan). The leaves may look a little soft, but they will firm up after a couple of waterings. Speaking of leaves, take the ones that fell off and set them on some cactus soil/perlite mix (dry). They may put out roots and grew a few new little ones for you! Once you see roots, mist lightly every couple of days.
Thanks for the info Danielle! Some of the stems are turning brownish... Bad sign? I will try and take a pic and post. The range in temperature here is 77 to 85F and pretty humid. I will be taking these out of those pans now!
Sorry Rina, they didn't say what type of plant this is. These were Ctually supposed to be for my wedding, but now I am just hoping they survive.
Brown stems is a bad sign. Sorry, I'm not sure there's much to do. You can try to cut off the healthy part and re-root it, maybe. Whether it was shipping damage, over-watering, or the stress of both of those things, who knows, but if the stems are rotting, there's not much hope.
I find many of these types of succulents to be really fragile, as well as sedum. Leaves fall off at the slightest bit of handling. Sometimes new growth sprouts, but it's annoying to have all the bare spots, to say the least.

Jirogg, Comm. Nevnda State Board of Frade, Reno, New. On my return to this city, after an absence of about two weeks, I find vour communication, addressed to the Directors of the South- ern Pacific Company, and two pam- phlets, all of which I have read with care, and while I do not agree with the committee in all its statements, in the main I think you are right and, as President of the Southern Pacific Com- pany, I should advice its officers to work with the committee, and do al! they can to advance the' interest ol Nevada, As every stockholder of the railroad company will be benefited by the company's doing what it can prop- erly do to benefit the State, I think we need not fear that they would Watne the management for such action; but what is done will have to be done largely by the people of the State for various reasons, one of which is that the railroad company has but little mii-plus to spend for thia or any other purpose. Then the people of the State will, in the main, always have to know of some land, its price, conditions, etc., that can be obtained by sett lei 8 to locate upon when they arrive. The acreage need not be large, but there should always be a few thousand acres ready for immediate settlement and so located that settlers can have the assurance that if there is no water on it, water can be brought to it without much loss of time and at no consider- able exoense. Every new settler, too, will have left Ixjliind him neighbors, some of whom may he induced to follow example in nettling in Nevada. Some one should see to it that he writes letters to them, as that is the best way to attract new settlers and it can be done at a smaller cost than in any other way. Then there must be schools and churches to get and keep such settlers as von want. Of course, there are many things to be thought of in this connection, perhaps .some of (hem more important than those I have briefly alluded to, and of these nil) no doubt suggest themselves to you; but I have been exceedingly busy since my return to j the city and have not been able to take up and exhaust any subject; so that the further consideration of the matter, so far as my own views are concerned, will have to wait for my arrival in PRK OF Democrats Continue to Obstruct.

After the passage of a number of un- important the senate resnmed the consideration of the bill to define and regulate the jurisdiction of the courts of the United States. Congressman Frank L. Morer, of Louisiana, died this morning. Mala- rial troubles, combined With brain af- fection, were the causes of death. -Although a meeting of the confer- ence committee on the tariff bill was called for this morning, when tbe hour of meeting arrived the Democratic members were notified there wonld be no meeting. The reason for the post- ponement was a desire on the part of the Republican conferees to consult further among themselves. It appears no progress has been made since Sat- urday on the disposition of sugar, binding twine, the bonded period and the metal amendments, but that these are in such shape that an agreement can be reached upon, one which will probably also result in an agreement upon the others.

2nd day on the road - 9:06 in the car

Germanwings Flight Crashes in France
144 passengers and six crew members dead, German high school class feared part of the group.
MARSEILLE/BERLIN/PARIS- Thoughts and prayers go out to families and friends of the 144 passengers and six crew members of the Germanwings flight that crashed in southern French near the city of Nice this morning. The flight was enroute from Barcelona (Spain) to Düsseldorf (in the German state of North Rhine-Westphalia). Among those feared dead were a group of 16 school children and two teachers from a high school in Haltern, located in northwestern North Rhine-Westphalia in western Germany. They were returning from an exchange program outing. Many politicians and people alike have expressed their condolences on the loss of so many people. "It's a tragedy, a new aerial tragedy, we will also know all the details and the causes of what has happened and we will evidently give them to the authorities concerned, including Spanish and German, and to the families of the victims. This is a mourning period that we need to overcome because it's a tragedy that has occurred on our land," said French President Francois Hollande. German chancellor Angela Merkel in an official statement added: "We find ourselves in great saddness and are thinking about the victims, their families, relatives and friends." She plans to travel to southern France tomorrow to investigate the crash.
The crash is the first in many years and will trigger an investigation as to what caused the crash. It is known that the crash will affect people from three countries in the EU and beyond, and there will be no stopping the investigation until the cause is found. For the family members, friends, and those who knew the victims, esp. the children on board, the Files would like to express condolences and support in this difficult time. May they be remembered but never forgotten, as we will think of them both now and for all time to come.
Click on the highlighted links for more information in both languages. The Files has a Chain Post on its facebook page where you can follow all the updates posted through many sources. Click here and scroll down to the bookmarked post and read up on all the details.
The English Corner: Are You Sicher? Bist Du Sure?
How people are not sure how to use the English form of Sicher
To start off my first post in the series on German versus the English language, I would like to start off with a little word of advice with regards to German-English translations:
When looking up the English equivalent of a German word, never EVER use the first meaning in English without looking at the meaning and context first.
Many people translating documents from German into English have done this, and native speakers of English who are correcting the English documents have tried not to cry while laughing at the translations, especially the English equivalent of the German word used that absolutely did not fit the context. Of some of the blunders I've seen over the years, I can list the top five that comes to my mind:
1. Wassereinbruch- The translated version was water burglary! Yet the actual meaning is water break-in or leak if referring to an underwater pipe or cable.
2. Landstation- On the same document about underwater pipes, this person translated it as country station!! Now if you were a country music fan, you would know what a country radio station sounds like, right? For a station on land, we keep the English translation as is, just separating the words into two.
3. Nicht auf dem letzten Drucker machen- The English equivalent performed as a pun by one of my students at the university was "Don't do it to the last printer!" However, we do have one word to shorten this phrase, which is "to procrastinate."
4. Ich kann schreien- In a presentation when asked to speak up, the presenter responded with "I could cry?" Response from a predominantly American audience: "Well, don't do that." I could just scream when I hear this. Oh, did I forget that scream was the right equivalent?
5. Sicherstellen- Many students have made this mistake, which is to be discussed here. They always say to make it secure. But are you sure it means to make something safe?
There are many word pairings where one German word has several different English meanings. For the fifth example, we will look at the word Sicher and the English equivalents that features three different words: sure, secure and safe. With these, we also have for each English equivalent, a different meaning.
If we use this word, then it refers to the process of making sure that every promise, fact, statement and proof is doubt-free. In other words, you are asking someone whether he is telling the truth or not, thus bringing a famous German statement you will find in many supermarkets selling tobacco and public places that have age restrictions: "Sagen ist gut, Beweis ist besser-" saying something is good, proof and/or evidence is better.
Example sentence:
Judy: Are you sure you can make it to the airport on time?
Jules: Yes my dear, I'll make it with no problem.
Here, Judy is not sure whether her husband Jules will catch his flight out of the airport because of possible problems with traffic and/or his car.
If we use this word, it has two different meanings. The first one means the same as reserving or claiming something to be yours for a specific purpose.
Example sentence:
Brad secured three places for us for the concert in May.
Here one can replace secure with reserve as they both mean the same- booking a place for an event so that no one else can take it.
The second meaning of secure is the process of protecting tangible assets from potential theft or damages. Here you can use the noun form security or even the adjective form securely or secured.
Example sentences:
- Please make sure the seatbelt is securely fastened. This means that the seatbelt in the car must be snug but tight enough to make sure the driver or passenger does not fly out of the car in the event of an accident.
- This is a secure place. There are over 100 cops in this building. (This in reference to a police station). This means that the police station has many police officers protecting the building and its belongings (persons included) from any potential harm, which unless the threat comes from a Terminator, almost never happens.
If we use this word, it means protecting the most important assets in our lives from harm- in particular people.
Example sentences:
(Scene from Dante's Peak). Harry and Rachel kept the kids safe while exploring the hot springs. This scene speaks for itsself.
Also to note, safe is used as another equivalent to the aforementioned German quote regarding proof as "Better Safe than Sorry," meaning taking extra-precautionary measures avoid potential disasters. This was used later in the movie, when Rachel (the mayor) orders a preemptive evacuation of Dante's Peak on the eve of a volcanic eruption, which Harry predicted would happen, despite opposition from city leaders, an investor and even his own people.
Now for people who really have problems telling the difference, here's a tip for you to try at home. When you want to use the English equivalent of sicher, write down the equivalents and make a mind map for each word, making a word association with each of the three. Then write a sentence in your native tongue, have a look at the mindmap associated with the three words and choose the word that best fits the sentence and context. Nine times out of ten you will find the right word using this mind map.
There are many cases where one word has many equivalents in another language, as we see here with Sicher versus Safe, Secure and Sure. However one needs to find the equivalent that best makes sense in terms of definition and context. Sometimes even the tiniest doubt in the usage of words can help avoid mistakes based on assumptions. So when coming across a translation of a word you are trying to use both written and orally, look at them carefully- even using the dictionary if necessary, and ask yourself when choosing the right word "Are you sicher, bist du sure?" This expression my wife uses often, and albeit it is funny at first, it has a deeper meaning inside. Better safe than sorry, eh?

Germany into Darkness
Total Eclipse shadows the entire state, as 80% of the moon covers sun. 100% covers extreme Western Europe and the North Atlantic.
BERLIN/ERFURT/COLOGNE- As many as 70% of the German population or 50 million took advantage of the gorgeous weather and, armed with their cameras, smart phones and specialized sunglasses, photographed the sun as the moon covered up to 80% of it, putting the country into partial darkness. Despite worries that the eclipse could wreak havoc on the electirical power systems because Germany is mostly dependent on solar energy, it was reported that there were no problems and everything was running well as if nothing happened. The eclipse occurred at 10:42am Berlin time, almost an hour after the process started, and ended shortly after 12noon. The area where people could get the best view of the eclipse was in the states of Rhineland-Palatinate, North Rhine-Westphalia and Lower Saxony. However, people in other German states had an opportunity to see the moon cover 70-75% of the sun.
This included the city of Erfurt in central Thuringia, where the moon covered up to 75% of the sun, making it resemble on the one hand, the moon at first quarter mode, but on the other hand a full moon. In other words, there was the brightest first quarter on record, if one looks at it from an astronomer's point of view. The clear weather made it difficult to purchase specialized sunglasses, which you can wear to look up to the sun at the time of the eclipse, for many drug stores, pharmacists, glasses dealerships and optometrists ran out of stock up to two days prior to the event. This was the exact opposite of the last partial solar eclipse that occurred in 2005. There, rainy weather hindered any chances of viewing this rare event, thus dropping sales for these eye protectors dramatically.
While I was unable to purchase this pair of sunglasses, I did find one to use with an optometrist, whose shop was located at Erfurt's city center, Anger- located between city hall and the train station. Although the pair was for lending and sharing purposes, I took the opportunity to wear them, while at the same time, cover the lens of the Pentax camera I had in my possession in an attempt to get a close-up look at the eclipse. Normally you are not supposed to get a direct shot at the eclipse for two reasons:
- The photo would turn out the same as it were without the eclipse- beautiful sunny skies just a little dimmer and
- Most importantly, looking directly at the sun at the time of the eclipse is very dangerous, for the rays could cause irreparable damage to the cornea, thus causing damage or even blindness.
As a tip one can get a selfie of the eclipse with the back towards the sun or simply leave it and have a look at the eclipse through TV and internet. However, even though I did get some shots of the places in Erfurt at the time of the eclipse (not to worry, I did this with my eyes looking down), I experimented by placing the specialized sunglasses over the lens of the camera, then zoomed in manually as far as it could go.
The result:
Unless you have had many years of experience in photography as I have had (I've been photographing since I was 11 years old), and you are daring enough to do this, this author does not recommend doing this- at least not without supervision. In order to get a shot like this, you need a special lens equivalent to what I used in order to get a shot like this. All other options are useless, for they would end up like the pic below- at the peak of the eclipse:
Whether a pic like this can be done like this with a special lens is doubtful for you may not get the picture you need. Admittedly though, it is worth experimenting, but if and only if the next opportunity arises, which for a solar eclipse like this one, it is rare. For many of us, this is perhaps the last time we will ever see one like this as the next one to come to Germany will be in 66 years. A partial eclipse in Germany will come again in 2022. However the next total eclipse to reach the US will be in two years' time. So for those who are hunting for the next solar eclipse (and I'm sure there are groups out there who are crazy about solar eclipses), mark this on your calendar at least, even though one may come beforehand.
But even not, for many like yours truly, this experience was once in a lifetime, which has now been crossed off our bucket list.
Author's Note:
The Flensburg Files has an album on the solar eclipse in Germany through facebook, which you can click here to view. The Files' is accepting photos taken by other photographers- amateur and profis alike- to be added to the album.

Hamburg in 2024!
German Olympic Committee Recommends Hamburg over Berlin as Host for 2024 Summer Olympic Games- Schleswig-Holstein, Mecklenburg-Pommerania and Lower Saxony to Benefit from the Games
FRANKFURT (MAIN)- It came down to two of the five major German metropolises to host the 2024 Olympic Games- Berlin or Hamburg. Both of them in the northern half of the country. The German capital last hosted it in 1936, less than three years before World War II broke out. Being the third time it would have hosted the Games, it has the 1936 stadium, various sporting complexes and various lakes. Hamburg is an up and coming city. The second largest city has a dense and advanced infrastructure, is modernized and environmentally friendly and has direct access to the Baltic Sea through neighboring Schleswig-Holstein.
Therefore, it came as no surprise that the German Olympic Committee at a meeting in Frankfurt (Main) last night has recommended the candidate for the 2024 games goes to (drumroll, please…..)
There are many reasons why the hanseatic city deserves the bid over the German capital. Hamburg has become a tourist appeal in the last 10+ years thanks to the efforts of modernizing the city to meet the demands of the population, while at the same time, bring the city and its history and culture to the forefront. Much of which you will find in the video clips below, and the Files will feature the city as the next candidate for Germany's 25th anniversary quiz to be presented on the 24th of March. It was the host of the 2013 German Floral Show (Bundesgartenschau) with one of the largest suburbs, Wilhelmsburg being the pet for the International Building Exhibition, which ended in 2013. Once relying on coal and nuclear power, the city has embraced various forms of renewable energy, through wind, hydro and geothermal. The city prides itself on its sports teams in soccer, handball and basketball, to name a few. Plus with its sound infrastructure, one can reach the Baltic Sea in no less than 45 minutes and the North Sea in less than an hour.
The plan of the city to host the 2024 Games is easy: make it small and simple. A Olympic complex on the island of Kleinen Grasbrook that is to be a sports complex afterwards. Grasbrook was once an industrial complex. Basketball, soccer and handball would be played in the northern cities of Bremen, Cuxhaven, Travemünde, Rostock, Kiel and Flensburg, just to name a few. Boating and yachting either in Travemünde or Kiel. For Kiel, it would be blessing as it had last hosted this event in 1972. For the northern German states of Schleswig-Holstein, Mecklenburg-Pommerania and Lower Saxony, helping to shoulder the burden of the events (and the costs) Hamburg will have to face will make the northern region a very attractive place during the Summer Games. Speaking from the point of view of the expat looking in, the northern half of the country prides itself on it sporting events that do not require hills and mountains, but on courts and nets or in the water. So having Hamburg as the candidate for the Games is no surprise for it has what the athletes need and then some. When spending time in the region, one will want to come back again and again, because of the people, the culture, the landscape, the landscape, and lastly, the mentality where simplicity and friendliness trumps all the complications an even bigger city has, let alone all the extravaganzas that many hosts have overdone in the previous Olympics, like in Athens or Peking.
However, despite the recommendations, all is not set in stone for Hamburg. An extraordinary meeting takes place on March 21st, where the German Olympic Committee board members are expected to confirm Hamburg's nomination. Hamburg will be competing with Boston for the rights to host the Games, with the decision to be made in Lima, Peru in 2017. Should the International Olympics Committee vote in favor of the German City-State, it will be Hamburg's very first time, and one where many athletes, politicians and the majority of the population in the city and the affected northern states believe that the city deserves, given its pride in sports and its recent developments in their favor.
And if Hamburg wins and does a great job in hosting the games, it would not be surprising if it becomes the main go-to city for future Games, surpassing Berlin or even Munich (at least as far as the Summer Games are concerned), not just because of its attractiveness and its simplicity in planning its events, but because of its access to areas where people pride themselves in their own sporting events. And with that, the Files is throwing its support to Hamburg in hopes that the decision in 2017 falls in their favor. Best of luck and let's bring the torch to Hollen Nord, shall we?
Some reasons why one should visit Hamburg can be found here:
Reminder: You still have one week to finish Germany's first quiz on the northernmost German state of Schleswig-Holstein. To get access to the quiz, click here. The answers will come on March 24th, the same day as the quiz on Hamburg will be presented.
Germany Quiz 1: What to know about Schleswig-Holstein
Starting off the series on Germany at 25 and a look at each of the German states, we will now have our first look at the northernmost state of the country, Schleswig-Holstein. Bordered by two seas, as well as Lower Saxony, Mecklenburg-Pommerania, Hamburg and neighboring country Denmark, the German state consisted of two kingdoms that merged in 1544: The Duchy of Schleswig in the northern half and the Duchy of Holstein in the southern and eastern part. And although the border extended north into southern Jutland because of the Prussian victory over the Danes in 1864 (consisting of the Danish towns of Kolding, Sondernburg and Esjeberg), the present border, extending west from Flensburg towards Sylt has been in place since 1919 (not counting Adolf Hitler's conquest during the Third Reich). The country is one of the most cosmopolitan in Germany as up to 40% of the population consist of the Danish minority, as well as people with a Frisian background and immigrants from other countries. Even some pockets of American expatriates can be found in some communities in the state. Each district and community has its own identity, culture and history worth exploring and speaking from the author's experience, once you visit Schleswig-Holstein once, you want to visit it again, regardless of whether you want to visit the same part of the state again or different areas, hence picking up some statements and the famous greeting: "Moin Moin!"
This article features a guessing quiz on what you want to know about Schleswig-Holstein- 25 questions in all, ten of which are in connection with the matrix activity involving the state's famous communities. If you want to test your knowledge, take the quiz with your friends and family and share the information with others. You are free to comment on the answers either in the comment section or in the Files' social pages. The answers will appear on 24 March, which at the same time, the next state will be featured. If you have any questions, contact the Files using the contact details in the webpage or by sending a facebook message. Viel Spass und viel Glück!

This includes beer, bratwurst, Polterabend, Zuckertüte, etc. Already, some suggestions have been collected by many people, and the author is open to other themes worth writing about. If there is a topic that is not mentioned often by the media but is worth writing about, please let me know.
And with the final comments, we're now off to put the pen and plow to work. There's a lot to experience and write about. Stay tuned for more to come.
2015 Eurovision Germany: Andreas gives Ann Sophie the Ticket to Vienna- An Author's Perspective
HANOVER- You participate in a music competition for a chance to represent your district in a state or national competition. You do a solo and perform it really well in front of the audience. It was well enough that you end up in the finals. You woo the audience with your song again, who pick you as the winner. You are selected by the host to be the winner and are given the chance to compete in the next competition. However, instead of taking this honor, you give it away to the second place winner, using the reasons stated in the first video.
How would you feel by doing this? And would your fans forgive you for making this decision?
This is exactly what happened in the Eurovision Song Contest last night in Hanover, Germany. In the German competition, where the winner will represent the country in the international contest scheduled to take place in Vianna, Austria on 5 May, Andreas Kümmert was selected to represent Germany in the competition, only to give a heart.wrenching announcement that he was declining the award and his participation in Vienna, thus handing the ticket to Ann Sophie. Despite the Bavarian's reason of him being a simple singer, both his song as well as the one of Hamburger were really great and received standing ovations last night. Have a look at the two videos with the first one by Ann Sophie…..
and that by Andreas Kümmert:

The Flensburg Files now Online
To start off this entry, I would like to provide a useful quote for you to ponder: The only way to succeed is going up. All other directions are pointless. For almost five years, the Flensburg Files has provided readers with some interesting topics from the writer's point of view, ranging from German-American issues, to cultural differences, to celebrities being honored (or dishonored), to providing some interesting places for people to visit. All of the entries have been on the blog level, operated by areavoices, a subsidiary of Forum Communications based in Fargo, North Dakota
That is until today, that is.
For the first time ever, the Files now has its own website, powered by WordPress. The address is similar to the areavoices web address but only shorter. You can access it at: https://flensburgerfiles.wordpress.com
However, even though some finishing touches are being made at the time of this entry, some new features and changes that are found in the new website include the following:
1. There will be more opportunities to interact with other readers, responding to articles and questions posted by the author. This includes having a questionnaire available in an article posted where necessary as well as more platform space for people to post their opinions about the topic.
2. No more bureaucracy regarding contacting the author. You can use the contact form provided in the website to contact the author directly, without dealing with typing errors, rejections, etc.
3. More opportunities to access news stories in both languages: Apart from the articles on themes posted by the author, the Files is available on facebook and twitter, where you can like and follow respectively. Yet the difference is the Twitter page will have mainly articles from German (-speaking) newspapers on a regional and national level. The facebook pages features a wide array of articles dealing with German-American, cultural issues and other interesting facts, much of which are useful for expatriates living in Germany and Europe. All of them are in the English language.
4. Wider array of topics to be covered here: Apart from the usual contents featured in the Files- touring places of interest, German-American Multicultural topics, and other news projects (including the current one focusing on Germany's 25 years), the Files will include some topics pertaining to the German-English language, looking at the not-so-easy-to-explain facts and many creative ways of garnering interest in the language. A couple more categories are in the works and will be presented later in the year.
5. More photos: Thanks to more storage space, more photos will be posted in the Files, pending on the topic presented. This despite finding additional ones on the Files' facebook and flickr pages, which the readers will be directed to in case it is necessary.
6. Better access to other online blogs and websites. The Files will have a page of links available for people get more direct access to the websites they are going. Like in the blog, the links have to do with German news in English, foreign language and culture.
7. More ways to follow. Apart from facebook and twitter, you can also follow the Files via wordpress, RSS feedburner, and other social newtwork pages, as well as subscribe via e-mail, and you can get better access on your Smartphone. This way you can get access to the Files at any time.
These are only a few of the many new features the Files' new website has, some of the which was not seen in the blog. Although the areavoices blog page will be kept as readers have been accessing it through the Forum newspapers, plus the articles written solely for that blog will remain as is, they will be directed to the website as the blog will feature an abbreviated version of the article that will be available in this website. This will apply for long articles but not those that have questions for the audience.
Keeping this in mind, there is a list of themes to cover in the coming days and weeks; so without further ado, it is time to start writing and for the readers to start following. Happy reading and looking forward to your comments.
Will Speed for Free Food!
If you enjoy speeding and disregarding signs, let alone give the police and the Kraftfahrtbundesamt (Driver's Office) in Flensburg (Germany) a headache, then this article is for you. Regardless of whether you are in Germany or the US, people love to speed and will stop at nothing to ensure that they are at least 20 km/h over the limit. In Germany, we have the blitzer machines, where drivers and their car license plates are photographed, and after a brief process of determining how many Flensburg Points one receives and how much money one has to pay, the driver gets the check in the mail. Many people have found creative ways of manipulating these blitzer machines, like this one below:
Well, not quite. But people destesting these machines have done a fabulous job manipulating them, which includes putting recycling cans over them:
In the US, we do not have such devices- although having them would solve all our infrastructural woes and fix our deficit in an instant- but we do have radar devices, which tracks the speed of drivers especially when going through communities, and this story shows that even some drivers love to pull a good joke. In Clearwater, Kansas, located 10 miles southwest of Wichita, police officials, in particular Chief Garcia, received a laugh of the century, as one of the drivers placed a makeshift sign next to the radar device, challenging the drivers to speed as fast as possible in order to win a prize, as shown in the picture at the beginning! The police is looking for someone who gave the chief the biggest laugh in his career so that the driver can be "rewarded" with a free meal.
Can you imagine someone seeing this in Germany? Or Europe?
It is known that Germans have a dry sense of humor with most of them taking this as way too seriously- pending on which part of Germany you're living in. However, aside the humor behind this picture that even some of the people at the Flensburg office would take when seeing this, the true purpose behind this radar device is the same as the German blitzer: to save lives and keep the roads safe for others to use. Therefore, even though some of us may take this as a dose of laughter to start off the day on the road, even in Germany, the word to the wise is "Don't, unless you want to set a new record for the highest number of Flensburg points you receive when getting caught!"
In other words, enjoy the laugh but drive carefully.
For those wanting to know about Germany's Flensburg Point system, the author wrote about this theme a few years ago as it was undergoing some reforms. More on that here.
Here's a question for those who love driving:
What were some other acts drivers have done in order to get away with breaking the rules of the road, regardless of whether it was in the US, Germany or Europe? We love to hear them. Put your stories here in the comment section, or in the Flensburg Files' facebook page, which you can access here.
Special thanks to the Clearwater Police Department of Clearwater, Kansas for allowing use of this photo. It did provide a good laugh over here and when others read this, they will have a great start while on the road travelling to work.
Blue Elephant Turns 40!
Blue happens to be my favorite color. It reminds me of a lake in Iowa, where I went swimming as a kid. It reminds me of the blue skies and how it was decorated with cotton candy cloud, while I was dreaming of the future. It reminds me of a blue elephant that is making kids laugh.
A blue elephant?
Yes, in German TV, we do have a blue elephant, and yes, he has his own TV show. And believe it or not, the Blue Elephant is going to be 40!
On this day on 23 January, 1975, the Blue Elephant made his first appearance as a sidekick to the orange mouse in the German cartoon series, Die Sendung mit der Maus. (EN: The Show with the Mouse). After three years, the creators of the show- Gert Munterfering, Monika Paetow and Armin Maiwald, who turned 75 a month ago- decided that one was a very lonely number, and the Mouse needed some company to keep him and the audience entertained. Therefore, the Blue Elephant came into the limelight and did just that. He gave the mouse some laughs, some tricks with his trunk, but most importantly, a friendship which has lasted up until today. Add the duck and the pink bunny (the latter as part of his own debut of Die Sendung mit dem Elephant in 2007), and it is safe to say that the crowd has been the core that has made the show, produced by German TV station WDR and can be watched by children and adults alike every Sunday, one of the top five shows that should be watched at least once when visiting and/or living in Germany (soccer, Tatort/mystery series, Löwenzahn and travel documentaries are the other four).
It is very difficult to pick the creme de la creme of the short clips featuring the blue elephant and his friends (including the mouse), but the Files have compiled a gallery which you can click to watch and you can decide for yourself which one is the best. Highlights of the elephant's 40th birthday can be found via link here.
For not only providing the Mouse with back-up and entertainment and for making us laugh and getting us going on a rather quiet and lazy Sunday morning, the Files would like to thank the Blue Elephant for 40 years of the best. Happy Birthday and may you provide us with 40 more years of the best. You and the mouse are the reason why we devote 30 minutes of our time every Sunday in the blue sky watching you on TV.
And for yours truly, being a non-German American expat, another reason to appreciate the color of blue.

Spectrography by Human Hearing Modelling
Traditional spectrography effectively makes use of a bank of fixed bandwidth band-pass filters. The bandwidth can be adjusted to optimize the time and frequency resolution of the spectrogram. Acoustic analysis by the human ear makes use of a bank of band-pass filters whose bandwidth changes as a function of center frequency. The paper describes a real-time transputer-based implementation of a human hearing modeling spectrograph and spectrograms from a variety of acoustic data.

Dan Henderson is next for Lyoto Machida
UFC President Dana White revealed that Lyoto "The Dragon" Machida will have his next fight against no other than the former number one contender in the UFC Light Heavyweight division – Dan Henderson.
White once again criticized the Brazilian for not taking the fight with Jon Jones, claiming that now with Dan Henderson as his next opponent, Lyoto Machida might find himself out of the title shot picture.
Here's what Dana White had to say at last Thursday's lunch with the media (via mmafighting.com):
"Machida should have taken the fight," said White. "We've seen it, history always repeats itself. Look how long it took Rashad to fight for the title again. So you wanted to fight Jon Jones, you climbed up to the title fight and you don't take it. Now you're fighting f—— Dan Henderson. Now you might not even get to the f—— title again. You lose to Dan Henderson you're not anywhere near Jon Jones.
You jump on opportunities when they're available. You get a shot at the title, the biggest money fight you can be in, the highest profile fight you can be in. And if you win that f—— fight, the whole world changes overnight."
Dan Henderson is currently recovering from the knee injury that prevented from him to compete against Jon Jones at UFC 151. Former PRIDE champ is expected to make his return to the Octagon in the first quarter of 2013.
Henderson is 29-8 in his MMA career, with 13 KO/TKO and 2 Submission victories. Lyoto Machida is 18-3 with 7 KO/TKO and 2 Submission finishes on his record.
http://lowkickmma.com/members/Fightgame/ fightgame
White is acting like a slave owner again.
http://lowkickmma.com/members/Dropkickmurphy/ dropkickmurphy
IMO Hendo will have a lot of trouble with Machida. In and out style, excellent TDD. Don"t think he will get knocked out, but could get picked apart. Also will Dan's knee and the layoff (At his age) be a problem.
But there is always the x-factor of the H-bomb. Very excited for this fight. Big fan of both.
http://lowkickmma.com/members/Saulgood/ saulgood
I must admit I like this Dana much better than the one that lets his fighters hand pic who and when they fight. Would love to see him take this stance with all the fighters. Its better for the fans this way.
http://lowkickmma.com/members/UnderdogGreatness/ UnderdogGreatness
Agreed, but you forgot to add with a a teenage girl's attitude.
http://lowkickmma.com/members/UnderdogGreatness/ UnderdogGreatness
I have Machida, the more technical fighter, picking Dan apart in this one.
http://lowkickmma.com/members/Rock'em-Sock'em/ Rock'em Sock'em
I don't know man – for me I as a big Machida fan I am glad he turned down the fight with Jones..
Get some good training in – Win a couple fights – than go for a decent attempt at the title – why go in ill prepared?
If he loses to Jones on short notice – when will his next shot be Dana?Never.
If Machida loses to Hendo – He wouldn't have held the title very long anyway because Dan would be up and coming.
Machida has to spend sometime trying to figure out how to beat Jones and Hendo cause he will stay a top contender . It's not like he can just go in there and try to win with his physical attributes – Jones has him beat there along with everyone else in the division – he needs a game plan.
If he can crack the code – than he can keep the belt and than that's money in Bank!
This is a good fight for both Hendo and Machida – whoever wins will be better for it and I would love to see either of these guys finish Jones!
http://lowkickmma.com/members/Rock'em-Sock'em/ Rock'em Sock'em
All respect to Hendo as well! Happy with either winning.
http://lowkickmma.com/members/Daigoro702/ daigoro702
I hate how dana always bad mouths fighters that don't jump when he says jump, he's not a fighter he doesn't know what it takes to prepare, this guys have their jobs on the line sometimes even legacys, Dana already made a shit load of money.
http://lowkickmma.com/members/Evan-Holober/ Evan Holober
The thing is, Machida doesn't care about fighting more. He just didn't want to fight Jones again with a short camp because if he loses twice to him he'll most likely never get a shot at the title while he's champ again.
If Machida fights his type of match he should dominate. The only way Dan wins is if he lands that big shot, and Machida is good enough for that not to happen.
However, if he competes like he did against Rampage (scared of the KO) he could give away rounds again.
http://lowkickmma.com/members/Highkick12/ highkick12
This sounds like its Dan whos out of the title shot, not Machida.
Now Henderson needs to climb 2 mountains to have a shot at ufc gold instead of one.
http://lowkickmma.com/members/Spiderp4p/ spiderp4p
If Dana just cut down on the attitude and swearing, most people would be able to see that this fight makes complete sense.
http://lowkickmma.com/members/Lowkickdodger/ Lowkickdodger
I agree, blessing in disguise for Machida.
http://lowkickmma.com/members/Kickassfast/ kickassfast
yeah this is gonna be a interesting match-up. to be honest i think machida has the best chance of knocking dan out out of anyone. if dan gasses in the later rounds he may get subbed. dans an animal so he can win but i honestly think this is the worst match-up for dan because machida always moves away from strikes until he sees an opening. atleast jones tends to be more aggressive which is better for dans style
http://lowkickmma.com/members/Matt1926/ matt1926
Machida will beat Henderson. This is a good fight though. I think Dana is posturing right now because he knows at some point with the sport growing as much as it is there's going to be a fighters union.

Wow, what a strong site this is. I agree with all four of the first four comments and replies.

Yes, and somehow (we all know its because MMA math doesn't work) Lyoto will handle Hendo in a way that Rua couldn't even though Rua convincingly beat Machida.

dana: "You jump on opportunities when they're available" or you could say : you suck my dic* when ever I say so…
not everybody is going to do that dana.
would be pretty ass stupid of Machida to jump in on a short notice fight against Jones who had an entire camp…
especially because he lost last time..
dana should think a little bit before he opens his stupid mouth!!
http://lowkickmma.com/members/IChokePeople/ IChokePeople
Couldn't agree more. I see Machida winning this. It is Dan that, unfortunately, will find himself very far from a title shot. Also; damn, DW is a douche.

I think Hendo's big chance may have come and gone unfortunately…
http://lowkickmma.com/members/Borealis19/ borealis19
Dana is acting like a 12-year old selfish brat. Lyoto has every right to decline a fight against a a dangerous opponent who literally destroyed him–on a 3-week notice. Only crazy people like Sonnen would take this risk ("opportunity" in Dana's words)…These fighters are free to choose what best works for them, their career and their livelihood…A second loss to Jones may very well be an irrevocable exclusion for the Dragon from the title contendership scene…How would that look like for you Dana? You simply don't care, you callous businessman.
http://lowkickmma.com/members/Dray12/ dray12
The whole world changes overnight??? I'm pretty sure 99% of the world does not give a shit about MMA.
http://lowkickmma.com/members/Mindkontrolle/ mindkontrolle
Clearly he means the whole world "of" the person who just won the title. In the previous world you were just another contender, in the new reality you are Champ… See how it works?
http://lowkickmma.com/members/IStink2/ IStink2
Dan is done
http://lowkickmma.com/members/Mindkontrolle/ mindkontrolle
That was Machida's chance. The train has left the station.
http://lowkickmma.com/members/Codemaster/ codemaster
Only in their second fight.
Shogun lost the first–remamber?
And even if you disagree with the decision–neither fighter won the fight convincingly.
http://lowkickmma.com/members/Codemaster/ codemaster
I don't agree.
Machida must keep winning–but if he does–he will inevitably get another title shot.
Joh Jones has decimated the top 5 of the LHW division–and there are only a couple of new fighters possibly available for a title shot. eg. Gustaffsson or Texeira.
If Jon Jones keeps fighting frequently and winning–there won't be anyone left at LHW–and there are few viable contenders.
Matt Hamill?
http://lowkickmma.com/members/Mindkontrolle/ mindkontrolle
I meant that was his chance, this time around. I didn't mean for the rest of his career. I was responding to toxic who was implying that Dana should have waited for Machida somehow. If Machida turned it down at that time he must have been aware he was going to have to fight his way back up to the title again.
http://lowkickmma.com/members/Mindkontrolle/ mindkontrolle
This is the fight that makes sense. No two ways about it. However, it is very strange that this works out even better for Jones since he doesn't have to face 2 full strength fighters back-to-back. To be sure, this fight will drain some life out of both Hendo and Machida. Great fight, a bit bitter-sweet at this point, they are both awesome.
http://lowkickmma.com/members/Nemesis/ Nemesis
Can just picture dana as a car salesman, stereotypical job for his personality type.
Ömg why didn't u buy the ****in car man!?!? I give you the opportunity of a lifetime, bang any babe you want, grab the world by the **** and you turn me down!?! STupid !^@^#*@)(#&^%!!!!!!
Yea anyways, once again dan is in a fight where the only hope is the big right hand.Machida may have learned something from the rampage fight, and with dans stamina recently it shouldn't be hard to make him look bad.
http://lowkickmma.com/members/Smeac/ smeac
agree, plus he is underestimating machida way too much against hendo….i take machida over hendo via submission in 4th rd….then machida shove his foot in dana's big mouth…

Dana is clearly trying to make a point with this match up. He's essentially punishing both Hendo and Machida. The fight does make sense however you can clearly tell when Joe Silva plays match maker and when Dana does. Dana has a child like mentality when he believes he's been wronged.
As for the fight. Machida ideally stops the takedown, darts in/out and hopes Dan gasses in later rounds. I like Machida in this one.

Machida is my fav fighter ater FEDOR EMILIANEKO (dont forget him)
even if i wanted the dragonto get the title shot, this fight makes more sense.
If he wins decisively ,he will really "deserve" the title shot in the eyes of everyone.
Machida should win this by submission or decision.
But I do not count Hendo out, because he has a LOT OF LUCK when he fights against better fighters than him !
If Hendo is as lucky as he was when he fought FEDOR, he might beat Machida…
It would suck big time.

Yeah comparing White to a slave owner make a lot of since. The majority of His fighters/slaves get paid over 6 figures a year. They also have great benefits "a very good insurance plan" For his so called slaves. And not to forget the multiple bonuses of $50,000 to $75,000 every fight night. Or maybe its because of the fact that he doesn't force his slaves to sign contracts. He allows the slaves to make there own decision on if they want to take a fight. That being said he lets it be know if he feels that they may have made the wrong decision. LOL Dana slave owner. You obviously have no clue what really goes on behind the scenes.

I have a funny feeling that Vitor might get Jones. If so then this fight will be very significant. Let's just say in some unbelievable way Vitor did get Jones. A Vitor Vs Machida or Vitor Vs Hendo match up will be great to watch.
Not putting money on Vitor BUT you never know The UFC has not had an upset for a very long time.

Machida has made a living out of dodging predictable strikes and punishing people for it. He's at the top of his game and Henderson is getting old. The knee injury on Henderson may cost him a bit of mobility against one of the most moble people in MMA. As of late, Hendo hasn't had more than two rounds of cardio and is coming off an injury, whereas Machida is healthy and never runs out of gas. I take Lyoto all night on this one.

The majority of UFC fighters do not make over six figures. The majority of UFC fighters make well under six figures. The top money makers are either already famous or in the top of the division. Otherwise you are looking at 10 to 15 thousand for fights. You have no idea what goes on behind the scenes. These guys making a max of 60,000 a year have to pay for trainers, gyms, licenses, medical, etc. most UFC fighters are not making close to 6 figures. More like 30-40 after sponsors even. Only the elite and famous get payed well enough to save enough to live off of.
