This topic provides some frequently asked questions about Microsoft System Center Mobile Device Manager (MDM) 2008 deployment.
Can I use a load balancer in front of the MDM Gateway Server?
Yes. Gateway load balancing does not rely on network load balancing services (NLBS) technology. NLBS does not work properly with MDM, which uses a DNS scheme for load balancing the Gateway Servers.
Typically, you issue static IP addresses to several Gateway Servers, which are then bound to a single fully qualified domain name (FQDN). For example, gateway.contoso.com is bound to IP addresses 22.214.171.124and 184.108.40.206, which are the IP addresses of servers Gateway1 and Gateway2.
Configure each Gateway Server with a pool of virtual IP addresses, which the devices use in the Mobile VPN sessions.
The device gets the two IP addresses from DNS and connects to one at random. If the connection fails, the device tries the next IP address and gets the next server.
If the client has a previously issued IP address from the pool and contacts the Gateway Server with that IP address pool, then the client continues to use that IP address. If it connects to a different Gateway Server, then it receives a new virtual IP address.
Can I place MDM Servers behind a load balancing solution?
Yes. For information on configuring MDM Servers, see
the MDM Planning Guide at this Microsoft Web site:
Are there any requirements on the types of load balancers that MDM supports?
MDM requires a standard load balancer, with the ability to enable affinity, also known as persistence. MDM requires no specific characteristics beyond a standard load balancer.
Can I have more than one Device Management Server per domain forest?
Yes, you may have more than one MDM Device Management Server per domain forest in a load-balanced topology. This topology supports scale-out and redundancy. However, only one instance of MDM is supported per domain forest. Administrative rights are not delegated per MDM Device Management Server, but per MDM instance, as all MDM Device Management Server computers share a single SQL Server infrastructure.
Can my MDM WSUS server be downstream from another WSUS 3.0 host?
No, this configuration can affect performance, depending on the number of devices supported and how software distribution is managed.
Does MDM extend the Active Directory schema?
No. While MDM does make changes in Active Directory, it does not make changes to the schema.
Can I use multiple organizational units (OU) to manage devices?
Yes, devices can exist in multiple groups of multiple organizational units (OUs), but you can only have one MDM instance per domain forest. When you create a custom OU, you must run the Set-EnrollmentPermissionscmdlet in MDM Shell to delegate the appropriate permissions to the Enrollment server to access the new OU. You do not need to run this cmdlet for the default OU.
Do MDM policies take precedence over Microsoft Exchange Server policies?
When a device enrolls with MDM, it no longer has Exchange Server policies applied to it. Exchange Server 2007 Service Pack 1 includes a new cmdlet that administrators use to block or allow the ability for specific devices to be managed by MDM.
Can I configure the port that devices use to connect to internal resources?
MDM uses VPN to connect devices to MDM Gateway Server. After the VPN connection is active, the device can connect to internal resources that are available from MDM Gateway Server. For example, if MDM Gateway Server is in the perimeter network, then the internal resources need publishing to this perimeter network. The port from the perimeter network to the internal network depends on the particular application.
Does all SQL Server communication occur over port 1433?
Yes, the default communication port for SQL Server is port 1433, and MDM does not modify this port configuration.
Can I rename an MDM database?
No, you cannot change MDM database names.
Does MDM require a dedicated computer for SQL Server?
No. But you should deploy SQL Server for MDM on a dedicated computer unless you have relatively few devices. You might encounter memory consumption issues if you install MDM Device Management Server and SQL Server on the same computer.

Schaumburg-Lippe-Bückeburg Artillery
Hierarchical Path: Seven Years War (Main Page) >> Armies >> Schaumburg-Lippe Army >> Schaumburg-Lippe-Bückeburg Artillery
Origin and History
Graf (Count) Wilhelm zu Schaumburg-Lippe raised a corps of artillery (initially 109 men) in his principality in 1752; no costs were spared on its training, equipment and weaponry. The artillery officer Roemer made his reputation in the Seven Years War as one of the leading engineers of this corps. Other prominent officers included Major Claude-Henri du Dufresnoy, Stork, Wieting and Bramayer.
The regimental inhaber was:
- since 1752: Count Wilhelm zu Schaumburg Lippe
Service during the War
At the beginning of the Seven Years' War, the corps took the field with the Allied army and eventually grew to have between 300 and 400 men (including the train), with 29 3-pdr, four 8-pdr, two 12-pdr, three 18-pdr cannon, three howitzers and four heavy mortars. Other guns were left in Bückeburg arsenal.
In 1759, the corps was detached to the Hessian Brigade. By then, there were nine 3-pdrs with the grenadier battalions, eight 6-pdrs and ten 12-pdrs with the battery and the artillery park. In June 1759, the regiment was part of the Allied Main Army under the command of the Duke Ferdinand of Brunswick. On August 1, the regiment took part in the Battle of Minden where part of it was deployed in the first line of the 6th column under Major-general von Toll and the other part, in Wangenheim's Corps between Kutenhausen and the Weser, in the first line of the infantry centre, escorted by the battalion of Schaumburg-Lippe-Bückeburg Infantry.
In 1760 and 1761, the principality also provided sixteen 1-pdr falconets, two with each infantry company, a total of 28 pieces, well horsed and manned; this was a major effort.
By 1761, the park included six 3-pdr and four 12-pdr cannon, two 8-pdr and four 30-pdr howitzers. The artillery of the principality thus included all the calibres of the artillery of the major states.
On June 24 1762, the corps took part in the Battle of Wilhelmsthal.
Description of the uniform of 1762 based on Wilmans' document kept in the Staatsarchiv Bückeburg. Several authors, including Richard Knötel, depict a light blue uniform. This is a common error, because the light blue artillery uniform appeared in an 18th century French tableau. The archives of the Duke of Schaumburg-Lippe in Bückeburg contain a manuscript source written in 1762 which shows dark blue artillery uniforms (dark blue coat and breeches). This manuscript is entitled:
M. Wilmans: Anciennete von Seiner Hoch-Reichs-Gräflichen Erlauchten! des Regierenden Herrn Graffen zur Schaumburg-Lippe, und Sternberg, Ritter des Königl-Preushen Grossen-Ordens, von Schwarzen Adler! General en Chef Seiner Königl. Maj. von Portugal Combinirten Armée, Infanterie Regiment, Grenadier-Garde, Carabenier zu Pferd, und Jäger zu Füss, imgleichen Artillerie, wie auch Ingenieur, und Mineur-Corps; Benebst denen Fahnen-Divisen, und Uniform. Bückeburg den 12. Juny 1762. Staatsarchiv Bückeburg au F 1 A XXXV 18 Nr 73.

Artillerymen carried carbines on brown slings.
NCOs wore the same uniform as privates with the following distinctions:
- double silver braids edging the cuffs
Officiers wore a gorget.
No particulars known.
Not known
The 12-pounders were crewed by 16 men each, the 6-pounders by 12 and the 3-pounders by eight men each. Apart from this, each piece had one or two bombardiers. The 12-pounders had twelve-horse teams, the 6-pounder six, the 3-pounders had three and each ammunition wagon had a six-horse team.
The gun barrels were designed by Count Wilhelm himself and were recognized as being of high quality. The 12-pounder had an internal barrel length of 21 calibres and a powder charge of four pounds, which, at an elevation of 1,5 degrees, reached a range of 880 paces.
The 1-pound falconet also had a barrel length of 21 calibres, fired a lead ball of 14 Loth (1 Loth = 1/2 ounce), with a charge of 10 Loth and at an elevation of 1,5 degrees, it reached a range of 550 paces. With an elevation of 2 1/2 degrees, the range increased to 750 paces and with 4 1/2 degrees it increased to 1060 paces.
Count Wilhelm also designed his own artillery regulations and the crews were well trained by shooting at targets. On one occasion, the count had invited several Hanoverian officers to lunch in the field; he ordered his gunners to fire at the flag on top of the tent in which they were dining. The first shot was a little high, the subsequent shots all went through the top of the marquee at the same height.
It is also recorded that Count Wilhelm acted as his own gun commander in some of the battles of the Seven Years War and duelled with the opposing artillery. He also conducted artillery field training exercises on the banks of Lake Steinhude (northeast of Minden) and the training of the artillery together with infantry and cavalry. He also laid great emphasis on the tactical cooperation between the infantry battalions and their light pieces.
Count Wilhelm also wrote the pamphlet, Nouveau systeme de tactique, in which he emphasised that a force of 400 - 600 infantry, operating with their light guns, would be able successfully to defend themselves against large bodies of enemy cavalry.
The famous Scharnhorst, then an ensign in Count Wilhelm's artillery, wrote: "The annual exercises, field training manoeuvres, the building of defensive field fortifications, artillery drills, etc. were training for him and his officers, experiments in the basic rules of the use of artillery, tactics and the attack."
From 1762, Count Wilhelm also spent some years serving in Portugal, reforming their army and artillery.
The ducal military academy was located in Schloss Wilhelmstein, a tiny island in Lake Steinhude and was highly regarded by many of the leading European military men. The fortress was built between 1761 and 1765.
In 1770, the count produced the instructional manuals for this academy. No student was accepted into this institute unless he had spent time as a cadet in the Count's artillery corps, gathering practical experience.
The syllabus in this academy included artillery ballistics, military and civil engineering, mathematics, physics, draftsmanship, general and military history, practical geometry, geography, tactics and languages.
Ethics were also included. The theoretical knowledge gained was reinforced with practical experiments such as making fireworks, building mines and defensive works. The casting of gun barrels was also taught.
All the instructors were artillery officers. Periodic examinations were set, diplomas and medals awarded for the appropriate performance.
Director of this academy was Major St-Etienne, a French officer. In 1776, Count Wilhelm had trained so many successful artillery officers, that he was able to send 16 of them to Portugal, to assist in the reforms of their artillery.

It is the part of relationships that causes perhaps the most conflict between couples, but also one that perhaps leads to the greatest connection and satisfaction between couples.
This area is: How to create a better sex life!
It is the part of relationships that perhaps leads to the greatest connection and satisfaction between couples.
Before I jump into this important and sensitive (no pun intended) topic however, I want to acknowledge that for some couples, even talking about sex can be problematic. So, if your sex life with your partner is not where you want it to be, often the best step you can take is to book a relationship counselling session with myself to talk about it.
With a counsellor such as myself present, most couples are able to openly express their true feelings about sex, without fear of their partner reacting defensively or aggressively. This is key to a productive discussion!
Having said that, let's talk about common factors that help couples create a better sex life!
According to sexuality researchers Chrisanna Northrup, Pepper Schwartz and James Witte (authors of the great book "The normal bar : the surprising secrets of happy couples and what they reveal about creating a new normal in your relationship"), as well as relationship researcher John Gottman, couples around the world who have a great sex life do 13 things that couples who have poor sex lives do not do.
These 13 things are all simple. They are:
Couples around the world who have a great sex life do 13 things that couples who have poor sex lives do not do.
Sound easy?
It probably is. Great sex is not rocket science, but too many people neglect the basic relationship skills that put couples in a position (again, pun not really intended) to have great sex together.
OK, for "homework" I suggest that you sit down with your partner and go over the 13 items above together. Tick the ones you already do, and mark the items you need to "work-on" with a cross.
Once you have done this make a plan together for how you can increase the frequency of the "work-ons". For couples with many work-ons it is probably best to choose just one or two items to start to "work-on". Once you make progress in those areas, move onto other areas until you score well in every area.
I hope this is useful!
Remember: If you and your partner need help talking about sex (or any other) issue, book a relationship counselling session with me now.
Great sex is not rocket science, but too many people neglect the basic relationship skills that put couples in a position (again, pun not really intended) to have great sex together.
One big complaint in many relationships is that one person does more talking than the other.
(Note: If you recognize this, and think that it's the woman who usually does most of the talking, then read on!).
If this dynamic is present, no matter who does most of the talking, it can be annoying. Over time a significant imbalance in the talking and listening dynamic can (and often does) kill a relationship.
Over time a significant imbalance in the talking and listening dynamic can (and often does) kill a relationship.
All of us regardless of gender, wants to feel heard and understood. This simply cannot happen if one person is doing all the talking and very little of the listening.
A simple mistake many people make is mistaking hearing for listening. This is where good listening skills in a relationship come into play.
Hearing is the act of allowing the sound waves from your partner's mouth to enter into your ears. It is a physical act. Ideally once this happens these sound waves will also be transferred into information in your head.
In contrast to hearing, listening is the mental act of hearing, understanding and processed the information you receive in a conversation.
An example of this is if your partner says that he or she hates cheese and you suggest Mexican food for dinner, then either:
One important and very simple listening skill is giving your partner time to speak.
Many men and women, even with good intentions, interrupt their partners or talk over the top over the top of them. This is always a negative experience for the person talking!
Avoiding talking over your partner allows him or her to get out what they are truly thinking or feeling. Even if your partner is taking longer to say something than you think that he or she should, good listening skills dictate that you should let him or her finish. Often they will not get to the point until right at the end of the conversation-and you need to wait to that point!
Giving your partner time to speak also applies even if you think that what your partner is saying is just totally wrong. It is worth remembering that in relationships there is no absolute right or wrong-both people will have valid perspectives on the issue that you are discussing.
If you respect your partner and care about him or her, you will always give them the time they need to say what they need to say.
In relationships there is no absolute right or wrong-both people will have valid perspectives on the issue that you are discussing.
As individuals, we are all different. All men aren't the same and all women aren't the same.
Some men for example, process information or thoughts faster than other men. The same applies to women. There is no gender specificity in this.
Interestingly, even though most people think that women talk more than men, recent research conducted by Dr. Matthias Mehl, an Associate Professor from the University of Arizona, found that regardless of gender, we all speak about the same number of words per day.
While this conclusion may be surprising to some, the summary statement of the researchers is very interesting:
"On average, women speak 16,215 words per day and men speak 15,669 words per day" according to Dr. Mehl. However, Dr. Mehl adds that the mean number of words does not describe this distribution well.
"In fact" he says, "the distribution for this study was huge. One person used an estimated 795 words on average per day, while another used almost 47,000 words" (both the least and the most talkative participant were men).
However, according to Dr. Mehl, the distributions were normal for both sexes and averaged out to have no statistical difference.
On average, women speak 16,215 words per day and men speak 15,669 words per day.
No matter how difficult the problem seems, good communication skills can resolve or eliminate most problems in a relationship.
Despite how many people act however, good communication skills don't start with knowing what to say. Instead good listening skills are always the key to good communication skills.
As many people observe, our bodies we have two eyes, two nostrils, two ears and one mouth. Good communicators listen twice as much as they speak and speak only after they've considered what they are going to say.
As you practice good communication with your partner, it is good to think about your level of honesty with your partner. It is easy to leave little details out of stories you are telling your partner, or to omit anything that reflects poorly on yourself.
As many people observe, our bodies we have two eyes, two nostrils, two ears and one mouth. Good communicators listen twice as much as they speak and speak only after they've considered what they are going to say.
Unfortunately, little lies in a relationship often turn into bigger lies. When those lies are exposed your partner begins to wonder how he or she can trust anything that you have ever said.
It might be frightening, but it is bonding to practice openness, vulnerability and honesty with your partner, always.
When you do this, more often than not your partner will be honoured that your trusted him or her with your secrets, and the levels of trust, intimacy and connection will build in your relationship.
A second and important listening skill is to be aware of your non-verbal communication and body language. A large percentage of what you are thinking and feeling will be communicated through your body language, including the way that you stand, sit and look as you listen to your partner.
For example, are your arms crossed, eyes averted or your body turned away from your partner as he or she is speaking to you? If any of this is true it is likely that your partner will perceive that you are not truly interested in what he or she is saying.
While you are paying attention to your body language, also pay attention to the amount that you are talking (rather than listening).
Good listeners ask questions rather than challenging your partner about what they are saying. These questions include asking your partner what they are thinking or feeling.
Good listeners ask questions rather than challenging your partner about what they are saying. These questions include asking your partner what they are thinking or feeling.
For example, instead of telling your partner that he or she looks angry (for example), ask him or her about their thoughts. Once you have done this wait for their answer. Don't jump in. It is OK (and even good!) to allow silence until they answer.
Good listening skills are crucial to any relationship. Listening is usually far more important than talking. Practice listening to your partner and being totally present in the conversation.
You can't always do this, but, if you are never present for your partner, then your relationship is likely to struggle.
As a relationship counsellor many people ask me the following question:
What is the number one thing that couples argue about?
If you Google this question, the most common answer that comes up is:
Sex, money and kids. Usually in that order!
However, is this right?
Before I answer this question let me what American couples counselling guru John Gottman would say about this question.
(Note: For those who haven't heard me talking about him, John Gottman is an American relationship researcher. He has spent over forty years researching what makes relationships work and has many extremely useful recommendations on how to create happy, successful and long-lasting relationships. Many of these insights can be found in what I think is his best book, The Seven Principles For Making Marriage Work).
Anyway, according to John Gottman, the number one thing that makes couples argue about is:
According to John Gottman, the number one thing that makes couples argue about is:
Yes, according to the guru, most couples argue about nothing!
Let's try to understand this a bit more.
Many couples come to see me after arguments about big issues, such as when an affair has been discovered or differences in parenting styles.
However, it is even more common for couples to argue about small issues.
As example of this might be when Julie and John are watching television at home after work, relaxing. Julie arrived home first, made dinner and put the children to bed.
They are now watching a programme that Julie likes. John however is getting restless. He has the remote control and is starting to play with it a little bit.
After a little time, an ad break happens and John says to Julie, "Let me just see if the replay of the rugby is on."
In response to this comment, Julie feels hurt. She has had a busy day and often feels that John chooses what channel to watch on television. So Julie says to John, "No, leave it on this channel!".
John is surprised by this. He doesn't understand why he can't check the rugby briefly. So he stands up, slightly upset and says to Julie bluntly "Fine. I'm going to check my email."
Julie is now starting to get more upset, so she says to John "What do you mean by fine? I never get to watch this programme because I'm always putting the kids to bed."
John is now frustrated. Raising his voice, he says loudly "Thats not true, and besides you always get your way. And I put the kids to bed more than you do."
It is easy to see how this argument could escalate quickly.
But what is this argument really about?
According to John Gottman, this argument is about nothing.
Or more precisely, this argument is about nothing specific. In other words, the content of this argument is not important, but what lies underneath this content (such as how each person is feeling) is more important.
John Gottman would also say that while it does not matter so much what couples argue about, it does matter how they argue. Healthy couples adopt certain communication styles in a relationship-whereas unhealthy couples argue in different ways.
As an example of this, John Gottman talks about what he calls the "four horsemen of the apocalypse". These are certain communication styles what many couples adopt-especially during arguments.
The presence of any one of these horseman, or even worse, more than one of these horsemen, is a strong predictor of divorce in married relationships.
So, what are these horsemen?
According to Gottman, the four horsemen of the apocalypse (which indicate poor communication styles) are:
Defensiveness, and
I will talk more about these four horsemen in future blogs.
For the moment however, it is worth noting that if you catch yourself using any of these four horsemen in an argument, you need to change what you are saying very quickly!
For those who want to do further reading, each of these horsemen has an "antidote". These antidotes are (in order):
Gentle start-up
Taking Responsibility, and
You can read more about these "antidotes" here.
I see couples such as Julie and John almost every day in my counselling practice.
I agree with John Gottman that at the surface level, the most common thing that all couples argue about is basically nothing.
However, at a deeper level there are always hidden thoughts and feelings beneath these surface issues that drive what seem to be pointless and meaningless arguments.
Uncovering these hidden thoughts and feelings is often the only way to remedy the surface arguments.
Perhaps the best way to undercover these hidden thoughts and feelings is for the couple to adopt more effective communication skills. For most couples this means really improving their listening skills-and particularly their ability to get "underneath the surface" of whatever an argument is about.
Effective ways for couples to improve their listening skills include:
If you would like to improve your communication skills, I have an ebook called "How To Listen To Your Partner So That He Or She Feels Fully Understood" that gives many practical strategies for listening to your partner more effectively.
In my next few blogs I will summarise some of the key communication skills that all couples need to know, including how to listen better to your partner. However, if you would like to know how to practice these skills now without delay, make sure you check out my ebook.
Coming back to the question that started this article, what is the number 1 thing that couples argue about?
Well, perhaps predictably, I agree with John Gottman. On a surface level, the name one thing that couples argue about is nothing!
On a deeper level, these arguments are often driven by deeper thoughts and feelings. The thoughts and feeling can usually only be uncovered by practicing good listening skills or coming to relationship counselling!
If you and your partner are caught in a cycle of pointless arguments that seem to go around and around, make sure that:
These patterns of arguments can be changed and a more useful communication plan established!
I hope this short article is useful. In the comments section I'd love you to share any thoughts or comments about it, and answer what the most common thing that you and your partner argue about!
Every relationship has its tough moments. These moments don't necessarily mean you no longer love each other. Many times common issues in relationships (such as what to spend money on, how to parent the children effectively, whose turn it is to do the housework, and so on) aren't to blame either. Many couples struggle simply because they have not learned effective ways to communicate with each other.
Consider John and Tracey. Married for 7 years and with 3 children under 5, John and Tracey find that they fight just about all of the time-mostly over even little things. "It's been almost a year" Tracey told me, "since we really sat down and talked. All John does now when he gets home is go to the couch and watch TV. He says it's because he's exhausted from work and that I nag him all the time, but I don't know what else to do. When he get's home I'm exhausted too from looking after our children-I need rest too. I guess sometimes I do nag him about some of the smaller issues, but we shouldn't have to fight about everything. It's not why we got married in the first place."
John and Tracey are typical of many couples. Over time it is easy for communication levels to drop in a relationship. Tensions can build up. Arguments, and especially uncontrolled anger, abuse or violence stifle good communication. Some couples may not even start with good communication skills. Some people are brought up in homes where their parents did not have talk about their problems, or if they did, they did not do so in front of their children. Some people's parents model arguing all the time. Other people's parents may not have argued at all.
For all of these reasons it is not realistic to expect couples to naturally have good communication skills. The good news is that these skills can be learned. Almost anyone can improve their communication skills in a relationship-and this can help couples such as John and Tracey navigate the toughest or relationship times.
Effective communication can:
With a solid foundation of good communication, relationship obstacles usually don't appear so discouraging. When you feel confident in your ability to talk effectively with your partner, you become a better problem-solver. Think about the couples you know who regularly work together on improving communication. They also usually work on improving their relationship (such as by spending time together, thinking about each other's hopes, wishes and desires, doing daily acts of consideration for each other, and so on). There is so much to communicate about communication. Let's begin this important, ongoing conversation:
Of all the communication skills that I teach to couples, good listening is perhaps the most important. Unfortunately it is also a difficult skill to master, especially in the heat of an argument. However good listening skills can help couples avoid arguments in the first place.
There are many good articles on effective listening skills (also called "active listening). For examples of two such articles, click here or here. While active listening is a skill that is more complex than many people think, some basic elements of active listening include:
Your personal interactions don't exist in a vacuum. The society that shaped us plays a role in everything we do. Therefore, we must take this reality into account. For example, using the couple already discussed, John works as a foreman on a construction site-sometimes overseeing up to 20 men who are working for him. He is used to giving orders and getting things done as fast as possible. He also works mostly with men who are like him.
When John comes home and Tracey starts to talk with him about a problem or issue-John will often just try to solve her problem-like he would at work. He doesn't understand why Tracey doesn't find this useful-in fact she says to him all the time that he just needs to listen to her-she can solve her own problems once she has got everything out that she needs to talk about.
This is one example where men and women are socialised differently in society. Men tend to be socialised as problem solvers and women as nurturers-aware of their own and other people's feelings. So when men and women talk there are often problems. This isn't the fault of either party-just an unfortunate aspect of the culture we have grown up in!
Here's a basic example. Let's say that when John comes home one day he clearly states a need for alone time. Tracey should respect that boundary-just as John should respect a boundary Tracey may state, such as when she on days when she is exhausted and she really needs him to help with the children.
In a healthy relationship, both people must be able to declare their needs-and have that need respected. This especially applies to when good communication is being lost and an argument is starting to develop. Either party should be able to say that they don't want this argument to continue. Often taking a quick "Time-Out" in these situations can allow emotions to calm down and for more rational and useful conversation to take place.
We all mess up at times. You may have hurt your partner's feelings. His or her expectations weren't met. Perhaps you broke a promise or forgot something important to your partner. Rather than hope that your partner forgets about this event or trying to explain your reasons for what you did, a much more powerful step is to take full responsibility for your behavior.
This often begins with an authentic, sincere apology. This can be particularly difficult for men who are socialised to believe that admitting responsibility for something or apologising for something is a sign of weakness. But in almost all cases it is exactly the opposite-a sign of maturity and strength.
As with active listening, learning to apologise for mistakes we have made is a skill that can be learned. There are many articles on how to apologize effectively-such as this article or this. However, a productive apology requires you to:
Passive aggressive behaviour is common in relationships where one or both members of the couple may be avoiding saying what they really think. People who engage in passive aggressive behaviour tend to express negative thoughts in indirect ways, rather than stating them directly to the person concerned.
Signs of passive-aggressive behaviour include:
If you find yourself engaging in any of this behaviour, it's time to check yourself. Commit to more honest and straightforward interaction with your partner. You may need to make a specific time to talk with him or her about the issue that is bothering you.
Sometimes the most basic step (such as talking to your partner about something that is on your mind) can be the most challenging. Saying what you really think or feel can be scary. You may be afraid that simply saying what is on your mind may lead to an argument with your partner. It often feels simpler to push down thoughts or emotions rather than risk a fight. Letting things simmer, however, can lead to distance in a relationship or to the passive aggression we have just discussed.
This is where the concept of "radical honesty" can come into play. You and your partner can choose to commit to being more open. Honesty in a relationship-provided it is not designed to hurt the other person is almost always beneficial. Remembering this and choosing to tell your partner what is on your mind is often exactly what your relationship needs at the time.
One step to make this process of "radical honesty" easier for people is to agree on a warning. Before stating a tough opinion, tell your partner you're about to engage in radical honesty. This prepares them and can make it easier for them to hear what you are saying without them getting angry or defensive. It also provides a chance for them to set a boundary. They can declare then that they're not ready for it. In this case you both should remain committed to the process of radical honesty and choose a better time for you both to talk.
Communication is not a destination. Instead it is a process of constant improvement. What may work for you and your partner to communicate better now may not work as well in a week or a year time. Instead good communication is a relationship is a journey. Commit to the journey. You get to improve yourself, of course. But you also get to strengthen your relationship. No one ever said it'd be easy but the rewards are so worth it!

I rather love this poster. Many thanks to Eileen at Evanston Print & Paper for creating it! As I just wrote on my Facebook page, it keeps making me think of the scene in The Shining when Jack Nicholson hacks through a door with an axe, sticks his head through, and says, "Heeeeeeere's Johnny!" with that wonderful, maniacal grin. I was pleased and honored to be asked to be the first in a brand-new series of artists' talks.
The pace is heating up as November approaches. I wonder if I will miss the mild October (other than the back spasm, which is almost all healed now). Still, I'm glad I opted to do what I did: I tackled my home office, doing a quick and partial sorting-through of the papers; then I consigned them all to a donated 4-drawer filing cabinet (thanks, April), to be gone through during long winter evenings (and I have a kernel of an idea forming regarding the use of what will be copious discards). I packed up the ancient PC and its plethora of peripherals; gave some away and found a recycling center where I can drop everything off once the old hard drive is returned. I bought a nifty all-in-one wireless inkjet printer/ copier/ scanner that surprised me with its print quality for its price, and now have a fully functional office space again. Whew. I've been knocking out the backed up admin in here for the past couple of days; about two more (hopefully less) days of that, and then: studio. I intended to show the lovely new office to you, but: for the first time since I bought it, both camera batteries are dead! But now I have a permanent at-home charging location again, as soon as I find the damn charger. That says it all as to why I needed this spot of practicality; I needed to re-create my own support systems. Now, I'm baaaaack.

Because life
never stops teaching.
Journaling for awareness. Growing for life.
November, 2012
When I was a kid, my Uncle Bill came to visit every Christmas. He'd fly to Chicago for a week and spend most of his time down on the floor playing with me, my older sister and my baby brother. He had a way of making everything fun – even standing in line at the grocery store became a game as we'd sing Christmas songs and eye the chocolate chip cookies. It didn't matter where we were, only that we were together. That was the point of view he always had, and it left an impression. That was thirty some years ago, and he hasn't changed a day. In my heart I always connect my Uncle Bill with Christmas. And …

Volunteering is an act of helping others without any personal gain. Volunteering abroad has become a new sensation because of the freedom and happiness it provides to an individual.
The idea of going abroad and volunteering is fun itself. Additionally, you will not only be teaching but also learning in the process.
One can enjoy the view or the special attraction of the given place. Not only this but one can also get closer to themselves. Also, it will help you to grow as a person, help your physical health and mental performance.
Not to mention, volunteering abroad is the best way to travel abroad while following a noble cause. Also, this is a cheap way to travel abroad.
Every nation if not every part of the country have its own different beliefs, religion, culture, norms, values, and traditions. Once you travel and visit different nations, you will learn about different cultures and beliefs.
Surprisingly, you might come closer to the new practices and cultures that you wouldn't believe exists until you face it yourself.
Hence, you will face new cultures and practices while volunteering. Some you might want to implement in your own life, some you might want to remove from the roots.
Basically, volunteering work is done in free time and not taken as the ultimate thing. Even volunteers might prioritize some other things if they have to choose between volunteering and luxury.
Even though you might not get paid or you might have to get out of your comfort zone sometimes, volunteering is totally worth it.
Sometimes, the most precious and valuable lessons are out of your comfort zone.
Surprisingly, it might turn out that what you think was your "comfort zone" was your hindrance to success.
Not everything can be successful in a day. You need some sacrifices.
What you are doing is much bigger than just helping, you are changing someone's life.
Not that you always need to quit your desires and demands for volunteering. Volunteers are treated well everywhere and no one will force you to leave your comfort zone. But sometimes the situation might want you to bend a little. As a matter of fact, the volunteering work sometimes needs some compromises and you need to get out of your comfort zone too.

High times at the manor
One of Denmark's most remarkable manors is located at Frijsenborg near Hammel in East Jutland. The impressive main building was designed between 1859 and 1867 by one of Denmark's leading architects, Ferdinand Meldahl, for Count C. E. Krag-Juel-Vind-Frijs. The…
Uncrowned king of the landed gentry
" The Frijsenborg estate is best known for the prominent role played by its owner, Count C. E. Krag-Juel-Vind Frijs, in the political arena in the late 19th century. The Danish Constitution of 1849 ushered in the abolition of enfeoffment; the system whereby the Crown could award land and privileges such as title and rank in return for services. But political and economic conditions in the late 1800s still favoured the landed gentry. A signficant driver for their power and influence were the so-called "estate-owner governments" led by C. E. Krag-Juel-Vind Frijs. With the count as prime minister, in 1866, one such government succeeded in reforming the Danish Consitution. With that, the conservative estate owners were assured political control of society for the next generation. "

Brevard Web Hosting — Lawrence Salberg
I hired Mr. Salberg to build a website for me; he never did. Instead he stole from me and my children.

So if you should have a special project or big dreams; please consult with other web hosting and web design company's. Mr. Salberg is not one to trust with your ideas.

WeeklyBeats.com / Music / Jason Nijjer's music / we form like volca
Recorded a bunch of loops off the volca beats, keys, bass, and sample into ableton and arranged a quick track from there. Kick may be a little too heavy, but I was just watching the 808 documentary.

Kick is just right; fits perfectly. Well done.
Love that stutter beat with detune. Cool. Great track title
kick definitely not too heavy
But love that snare and the detuned rubber synth
Cool! kick sound is great!
The part between the vocals and the second noise is my favorite
And you get some extra points for the use of volcas
i sold the sample... never got anything out of it
Kick sounds g00d and those volca lines sound even better! Nice job!

This Perspectives articledevelops a rationale for the integration of a development education (DE) approach into initial teacher education (ITE)within a cross-curricular framework. The perspective is grounded in the practical considerations of the local and global circumstances of living in today's world.A discussion is presented of significant current ecological, technological and socio-cultural changes and the resulting challenges they pose if schools and communities are to respond responsibly and imaginatively. In particular, we focus on ways in which ITE providers can strengthen the moral and social justice dimensions of the pupils' learning experience through DE.While schools have various traditions of building aspects of global citizenship into their programmes, recent curricular developments at Junior Cycle in post-primary schools in Ireland offer fresh opportunities to engage withinter-disciplinarytopics such as sustainable development, climate change, social justice and participative democracy. For meaningful changeto take place, student-teachers and teachers need a thorough grounding in the many issues linked with concepts associated with global citizenship and the methodologies that are effective in facilitating such learning.

Integrated business planning to help you manage your most precious investment.
Entrepreneurs and business owners come from all different backgrounds and start their businesses for many reasons. Some of the common reasons our clients have for starting their businesses are
- The desire to spend more time with their family;
- The feeling of accomplishment and success that comes with building something through your own efforts;
- Money (let's be honest, entrepreneurship has its monetary perks, including unlimited earning potential);
- Wanting to create jobs and strengthen their communities;
But the most important reason to go out on your own is to
We help small business owners and entrepreneurs focus on their efforts by helping them navigate the complexities of owning a business. Some of the areas we focus on in your business planning include:
- Entity selection. Should you incorporate? Should I file taxes as a single-member LLC, S Corp, or C Corp? Which is best to reduce my taxes?
- Compensation planning. How do I pay myself from my business? How much should I be paying myself? What other tax and filing obligations am I subject to?
- Cash flow/budgeting. What cash is left after all my expenses and compensation? How can I improve my cash flow?
- Tax strategies. How can I reduce my tax liability? What's deductible and what's not?
- Insurance. What types of protection do I need for my business (and employees)? Do I personally need coverage to cover my business activities?
- Fringe benefits. How do I get the most out of my business? Can my company pay for health insurance? Can I be reimbursed for some of my expenses?
All of these services are included when you choose us for ongoing financial planning and may be included in a one-time comprehensive financial plan. In addition to these services, we also provide planning for small business retirement plans.
Small Business Retirement Plans
As a business owner, you're largest investment is probably in your business. However, if it's in your succession plan to find a buyer when you're ready to retire, it may take some time to finalize the process and sell. Additionally, it may not be valued as much as you feel it should be, so you should make additional plans for retirement. One of the key ways to plan for retirement is by utilizing a tax-advantaged retirement plan in your business. The most common types of plans are:
- 401(k) (Solo, Traditional & Roth)
- Simplified Employee Pension (SEP)
- Savings Incentive Match Plan for Employees (SIMPLE)
As your small business retirement plan advisor, we can assist you with the many aspects of starting and maintaining your plan.
- Plan design. We will help you design a plan that meet your needs. Plan designs include the type of retirement plan, vesting schedules, matching and/or profit-sharing contributions, Roth options, and more.
- Administration. Your retirement plan may be subject to additional testing or filing requirements. We help match you with an administrator and record-keeper who will ensure you are in compliance.
- Investment management. As a plan sponsor, you take on a fiduciary responsibility to the plan participants (aka your employees) to ensure the available investment options are appropriate to meet their needs and the all-in costs of the plan and investments to the participants is kept in check. It's a big responsibility and a giant risk for most business owners. We can either act as the fiduciary on your behalf or use a provider to take on this responsibility for you. In either case, we will advise you on the investments in the plan and make recommendations as necessary.
- Employee education. Another responsibility as the plan sponsor is to communicate to the participants what they need to know about the plan. We will provide ongoing employee education to help them understand the plan's features, what investment options are available, and the benefits of contributing to the plan.

- One Day Wood Engraving Course with Chris Daunt
One Day Wood Engraving Course with Chris Daunt
********All our courses are on hold for now due to the Covid-19 outbreak.********
Wood engraving is a relief printmaking technique that has roots in the Tyne Valley with Thomas Bewick. Images are engraved with fine hand tools onto blocks of end grain wood and then rolled up with ink and printed onto smooth paper.
The workshop will take the student through the entire process, from preparing the drawing, engraving the block and printing using the burnishing method. No previous experience is required. All the student needs to bring are ideas in the form of drawings and reference material. An important part of the course will be learning how to get the drawing to a point where it will be used as a basis for the engraving. At the end of the workshop you will print a small edition of your wood engraving. All materials provided. Tea, coffee and delicious cake will be served.
Chris Daunt is currently Chairman of The Society of Wood Engravers and has many years experience as a wood engraver, illustrator and teacher.
Venue: Robinson-Gay, 3a Market Street, Hexham, NE46 3NS www.robinsongay.co.uk
The venue is a gallery located in a late 18th century townhouse in the heart of Hexham. There are stairs to the gallery and rest room so if mobility is an issue and you are concerned, please call Sarah to discuss.

August 2020
We are fully open to the public for pet boarding! We've had to make quite a few changes to our procedures and ways of working to comply with social distancing (both with clients and between staff), extra sanitation and maintaining safety and security.
We can look after your pet if you or someone in your household has Coronavirus symptoms but we do need to know in advance so that we can follow a specific protocol for this. We can offer a collection service if it isn't appropriate for you to leave the house.
Many of the changes are about getting all the required information ahead of time so that you have to handle as little documentation and spend as little time in our reception as possible.
Our booking system allows us to do most of this by letting you manage your details online. If you've used our online booking before you'll be familiar with the system but may not have realised how much information you can update for yourself.
We'll ask you to make sure yours and your emergency contact details are correct. We are required to keep emergency details of someone who can speak for you about your pet if we can't contact you.
We'll ask you to update your pet's details, adding updated worm & flea treatments, insurance and microchipping details. We are required to keep this information.
We'll need an electronic copy (photo or scan) of your pet's vaccination record sending ahead. Once we have this we don't need it sending again until you have boosters done again. You can send this by email or Facebook message to our page.
We'll request an electronic signature to replace signing our paper form at check-in.
All drop offs, collections and visits must be by appointment. We will agree an approximate time with you at booking and ask you to confirm a 15 minute window with our easy online appointment maker, full details of which are sent out in our booking confirmation.
Our opening hours have changed to 9am - 12noon and 3pm - 5pm Monday - Saturday.
Sunday remains 9am - 12noon with an extra charge pickup option between 3 - 4pm.
The appointment you selected on Calendly via our booking confirmation allows you to add it to your calendar for easy reminders.
Upon arrival, ring our radio pager in reception as usual but leave your pet in your car if possible. Our staff will help you with the rest of the process. If someone is already in reception, please wait outside or in your car.
We take full payment at drop off, preferably by card or Apple/Google pay. We will also accept cash.
Our daily charge includes every day your pet is with booked with us. Due to significant changes to our routine there will be no discount for collection before 9:30am. We can also accept bank transfers in advance if you prefer. In spite of the extra costs we are incurring to become Covid Secure we are endeavouring to keep our daily rates unchanged from pre-lockdown.
We have implemented a contactless handover area near reception so that we can accept (and give back) your pets in a socially distanced way.
The only possessions we can currently accept with your pet are medications, food, hard wipeable toys and carriers for cats. We regret no beds, bedding or soft toys (we will provide all these) for the foreseeable future and no access to the public beyond reception.
We are now accepting prospective client viewings again. These are strictly limited to a maximum of 2 adults only, with face coverings, and by prior appointment only.
If you have any questions please do get in touch.

Nooooo!! Not again. Another damn nutrition article ruins the fun.
What's the villain in our diets this time? One of the usual suspects: salt.
But not for the reason you might think.
According to an article published in the New York Times, researchers have discovered that salty diets can dramatically increase hunger and lead to overeating. And not just a few extra snacks. A whopping 25% more calories.
That's like eating an extra meal a day.
The researchers fed cosmonauts living in isolation to mimic space travel a salty diet and despite conventional wisdom, the cosmonauts actually drank less fluid than on a lower sodium diet. And here's the bad news: their levels of hunger dramatically rose, even though they were eating the same amount of calories.
Hmmm…so maybe it's not the extra carbs that cause some marathoners to gain weight in training despite running more miles.
It's the extra salt driving us to eat more.
Salt has always been the one thing as a runner that I have felt pretty good about indulging in. After all, sodium is an essential electrolyte that is lost in sweat and is critical for life.
At my house, we can go through a bottle of (low-sodium) soy sauce in a week. I grind pink Himalayan salt over roasted veggies and sprinkle a few shakes on my oatmeal.
Salt makes food taste better, plain and simple. (Remember the watermelon post last week?) But when food tastes good, we are more tempted to overeat.
And it's not just the salty deliciousness of the bag of Sea Salt Waffle Chips that makes us want to eat more, it's the body crying out to eat more to make up for the extra calories it burns creating extra fluid to dilute the sodium.
It's a double whammy.
Strangely, instead of continuing to signal your thirst to bring on more fluid to dilute the salt, your body will create its own. Just like a camel breaks down the fat in its hump to unlock the stored water, our bodies do the same thing cannibalizing your own fat and muscles.
This process burns calories, of course, which should mean we'd lose weight on a salty diet. But we don't, because our brain ramps up the hunger cues, leading us to eat more (salty) food.
Athletes seem to be given a free pass, when it comes to sodium. After all, nearly every sports drink on the planet contains salt. Marathons offer water and salty Gatorade at every mile.
Runners even take salt tabs, especially during hot races, believing that it will prevent cramping. (Probably not.)
Athletes need more salt than non-athletes, right? Salt stings our eyes in the summer and leaves chalky stains on our t-shirts. Of course we need to replace it!
Yes, but it's not that simple. Hyponatremia, or low blood sodium, is a real issue in long distance events, but what about our daily lives?
It seems like scientists might know a lot less about salt's role in the body than we thought.
We know that water, sodium, potassium, and other electrolytes work in a delicate balance in the body. If you take on too much water, you have to pee. If you eat something salty, you drink, which is why smart restaurant owners provide those salty bar snacks.
Now it seems that the salty pub mix not only increases drink sales, but it probably also increases food sales too.
So what does this mean for an endurance athlete?
Sodium is still a critical element in our diets, but we should probably be careful about our consumption, just like the rest of the population. Many exercise scientists, most notably Tim Noakes, believe that runners' deaths from hyponatremia come from over-hydration, not from under-consuming sodium.
What's the bottom line, then? How much salt do athletes need? There is no clear answer. Some say that excreting excess salt in our diets is one of the best benefits to exercise because we consume too much.
Yet others warn that restricting salt too much is dangerous as well, especially to the heart.
What's a runner to do, then?
If you can't figure out why you are always hungry or if you gain weight during heavy training, take a look at your sodium intake. Perhaps it's a part of the (complicated) equation.
But ultimately, I think the best advice is the same as always–choose fresh, whole foods with limited processing and don't over do it.
Make meals at home and share them with the people you love.
And maybe go a little lighter on the soy sauce.

This weekend will be the last week of pre-season football. And it could not happen soon enough. There have been many serious injuries to key players for several teams. Perhaps the most notable are injuries to QB Teddy Bridgewater of the Minnesota Vikings and tight end Ben Watson of the Baltimore Ravens.
Many football fans, players and coaches believe it is time to change the pre-season or get rid of it altogether. Others, like New York Giants QB Eli Manning, say they need the pre-season. Some coaches say there is simply no way to evaluate players and decide who makes the team without a lengthy pre-season.
For now, though, it is time to focus on the upcoming regular season. Hope - not to mention blind optimism - reigns eternally for many fans. With parity in the NFL, anything is possible for all but the absolute worst teams. Injuries will continue to pile up, teams will get hot at the right time, superior coaching will come into play, officials' calls will decide momentum and games, and so on. The regular season is almost here, and true football fans will enjoy it regardless where their favorite teams finish at the end.

Selecting the Right Kayak Fishing Rod Holder for Your Kayak
Featured Image Credit: Anthony Shingler
Out of curiosity, I created a Facebook poll for the members of the Clarksville Area Kayak Fishing group to see how many guys use a kayak fishing rod holder while bass fishing. Definitely not a statistically representative sampling, but since I only use them to hold rods I am not casting, it was an interesting way to learn more about possible uses. If there is anything kayak anglers love to talk about more than fishing, it is how they set up their equipment.
Bobby Brown started the poll with "rod holders are for storing rods, not for fishing". Now since this guy is a fan of the Ned Rig, I thought that maybe he would use one to dead stick it; it is the only way I could fish a Ned Rig… cast it, put the rod in a holder and forget about it while you eat a snack; then reel it in and get back to fishing with something else.
Kayak Fishing Rod Holder: The Options Often Used
I wasn't surprised when 79% of the responses were the same since the majority of kayak tournament anglers use holders for equipment while underway. Most of them are stored vertically in holders integrated with standard or modified milk crates, YakAttack BlackPack's, the Hobie H-Crate, or any number of creative pvc solutions.
Several anglers prefer to use the "tube" designs that can easily be attached to GearTrac using one of the mounting designs on the market. This allows the angler flexibility to store the rods vertically or horizontally to avoid overhanging trees or low bridges. A friend, Ben Meredith, uses this type of design to secure his equipment while unhooking, measuring and photographing fish.
When other anglers started to respond that they, "use rod holders while out on the kayak", I was curious and reached out for more information.
It seems that there are many ways to fish while using them. KBF allows trolling in their bass tournaments, Trophy Catfish Kayak Anglers (TCKA) director Ron Himmelhaver uses a four rod holder setup to chase monster catfish and several guys who responded to the poll will drop worms or minnows while paddling. Ben even has a spider rig setup for crappie fishing that he uses on his kayak, not something I had even considered as an option.
Kayak Fishing Rod Holder: The Crate System
My first kayak, a Jackson Big Tuna, had a Ram Mount attached. It was more than enough to paddle around the local creeks. Within a few months, I decided to fish tournaments and I needed more rods.
I replaced the Ram holder with a mutated milk crate because I wanted my equipment in front of me; the boat allowed for this setup to be efficient.
Kayak Fishing Rod Holder: The Crate and Cooler in One
It was not pretty, but it was highly functional; in my Hobie PA14, this setup would never work, so I opted for an Engel Dry Box with attached rod holders. It has a lid with latches that I use to store tackle, but can be used as a cooler on hot days. In the Outback, I have an H-Crate because of the types of water I fish in that boat, and I use it to get others involved in kayaking. The crate system is easy to load and unload, making it perfect for anyone to bring some gear along.
It will take you a few trips to decide what is the best setup, but you can start by asking yourself what types of water do you plan to fish and what fits your style.
Just remember to consider horizontal versus vertical storage options if you fish a lot of small water, how many rods you carry and what path you take to get there. Are you using the rod holders to fish, for trolling, or just to transport from one location to another launch?
In the end, it is up to you the angler to decide what works for you. Sit in the boat, paddle/pedal it for a while and see what fits. Your first setup will most likely not be your last and companies are now realizing the kayak market is growing, so you have a lot of options to pick from.

Top sights in Barcelona
10 things you need to see in Barcelona
Good football team, great beaches, delightful tapas, and dreamy architecture. There's just nothing bad about Barcelona, the Mediterranean seaside capital of Spain's Cataluyna region. Here are a few can't-miss attractions to put on your itinerary.
Sagrada Familia
Your Barcelona trip isn't complete without a visit to the Sagrada Familia (named a minor basilica by Pope Benedict XVI in 2010), dreamt up by Catalan architect Antoni Gaudí.
Passeig de Gràcia
Heading north from Plaça Cataluyna, Passeig de Gracia is the richest street in the city. Look up as you walk -- you won't want to miss the architecture along this road.
Camp Nou
If you're a fútbol lover, you'll be heading to Camp Nou. Spain's biggest stadium, seating over 99,000 fans, has been home to the Fútbol Club Barcelona since 1957.
Casa Milà (La Pedrera)
Known as "the stone quarry," Gaudí's ambitious Casa Milà is one of the most famous buildings from the early 20th century Catalan Modernisme (Art Nouveau) period.
Casa Batlló
From 1902 to 1906, Gaudí remodelled a perfectly ordinary apartment building for Josep Batlló, a textile tycoon. Tour the inside of the Casa Batlló to get a glimpse of Gaudí's incredible detail work.
Museu Nacional d'Art de Catalunya (MNAC)
The national Catalan museum of visual art is housed inside the very regal-looking Palau Nacional, which sits high atop Montjuïc. Go for the art. Stay for the park and the views.
Barri Gòtic (Gothic Quarter)
Barri Gòtic, located in the Ciutat Vella district, is the heart of Barcelona's old city. Explore its romantic, tiny alleys -- the perfect setting for lazy tapas and great photos.
Montserrat Mountain
Consider a daytrip to see the Catalan landscape. An hour's train journey from Barcelona, Montserrat is most well-known as the site of Benedictine abbey, Santa Maria de Montserrat.
Plaça del Rei
The "King's Square" is a 14th century square inside Barri Gòtic. The square and its Palau Reial Major, Cataluyna's royal palace, paint a picture of Barcelona's medieval history.
Museu d'Història de Barcelona (MUHBA)
The City History Museum conserves Barcelona's historical heritage, dating all the way back to Roman ruins. The museum is located in Plaça del Rei.
Planning Your Barcelona Visit
How many days should you spend in Barcelona?
There are plenty of fun things to do in Barcelona -- especially if you're also planning on partaking in the infamous nightlife scene. In three full days, you could visit all the major Gaudí sights, as well as the Picasso and Miró museums. You could also stay for a week or more. As for what to do with your extra days? Well, you'll have plenty of time to spend at the beach, visit the nearby village of Sitges, or go shopping in the Gothic Quarter.
What's the best way to get around town?
Barcelona is a wonderful city to explore by foot. You can easily stroll from La Rambla to the beach and then back to the Gothic Quarter in one afternoon. The city is pretty flat, so biking is an excellent option. If you love transportation, we suggest taking a trip to Tibidabo, the 1890s amusement park that overlooks the whole city. You'll take the metro, a tram, and a funicular -- and a ferris wheel ride, if that counts!
Which tours are the most fun?
We're glad you asked! From hot air balloon rides to bike tours to all-access guided walks of Gaudí masterpieces, there are a dozen options to spice up your Barcelona tourism. A lot of the architecture-based sightseeing is enhanced by the history and descriptions that a guide can offer you.

What people are saying about Barcelona
This class was a highlight of our trip to Barcelona. Gabriel was the perfect host and shared lots of fantastic tips with us - from selecting seafood and produce at the market to the best way to shell prawns. He guided us to create a delicious paella and Sangria, which we thoroughly enjoyed consuming of course, and we will treasure his recipes to share with our family and friends at home. Thank you!
Perfect. 3rd time I book the aerobus and everything run smooth. I booked the return ticket, valid for 15 days. Once you scan the voucher the bus driver gives you the ticket for the way back. simple and easy
The class was amazing, especially Gabriel was the most friendly host imaginable. Showing us around the market and together cooking a great paella and sangria!
Amazing tour, great views and beautiful singing from the choir. Highly recommend. Excellent tour guide and covid measures in place to ensure safety.
