arduino ide - delete the memory or re-upload a program - Arduino Stack Exchange
At the moment I am following the instructions of this project https://github.com/JoernL/LimiTTer. Besides the peripheral parts like a Bluetooth module and an NFC module, the central unit is an Arduino Pro Mini. I am a bloody novice with Arduino and just taught myself how to solder stuff. So far, I successfully uploaded the program from the project above to the Arduino Mini Pro and will continue as soon as the other parts arrive.
Anyhow, since I am strictly following the instructions I have some serious knowledge gaps and hope you can help me out. So, for instance.
How do I know, how much storage capacity is available on the Arduino board before and after I uploaded something?
How can I delete a program from the Arduino board?
When I upload a program, will the program that is already on the Arduino been overwritten?
Is an Arduino generally used to execute one specific program and not to hold a set of totally different programs?
The arduino work like the way you think it does regarding-when a new program is uploaded - it replaces or deletes the previous one when uploaded. This is because the arduino is a general stored program computer -though it doesnt hold a set of programs in memory just the last one that was uploaded last. You may need to clear the EEPROM with code though. – Dat Han Bag Nov 10 '16 at 3:14
In yellow is how much bytes does your program take.
In purple is how much bytes are available on your board.
In green is how many bytes does your global variables take.
In orange is how many bytes are left for local variables.
In blue is how many bytes are available for all of your variables.
In red is the general specs of your board and to which COM port it is connected to.
Once a new program is uploaded, the old one is deleted (somewhat). Still, you get all your bytes back and it is like if you start from scratch
An Arduino can only execute 1 program at the time. It doesn't usualy hold on to any other programs, but can store 1024 bytes in it's EEPROM. This lets your write in the EEPROM with a program and access that data with an other.

The Journey Back: 5 Minute Friday-Job Searching
Welcome to my version of 5 Minute Friday . . .
Our lovely hostess is vacationing today and so I am picking my own topic and writing about for 5 minuets.
The topic Finding a Job is what is on my mind . . .
Start 11:24
What's on my mind today. First and foremost finding a job. I have given myself a deadline of mid Aug. because my current job will go from day hours to evening hours when school starts. I am working for a great company but I don't like night hours. And, I want to 'give'. My heart is ministry. I have my application at two different non-profits. One for a reception job. Another at a non-profit as a Senior program coordinator. The posting said experience can be used in lieu of degree. That little word degree is actually a big word! I sent my resume to another non-profit the beginning of June. The director called me and said she was interested but that they tend to really take their time and explained it was a very slow process. A month later she called back and said that my application didn't 'bubble' to the top because I don't have a degree. But she said that part of the board wanted to interview me but they have to exhaust the degreed applicants first. Frustrating 9 years work experience doesn't seem to qualify. I am frustrated. I am ....
....out time!
Stop 11:29
So that is on my mind today! What's your mind. There's no linky but you can still join the fun and just get whatever is on your mind 'of your chest'.
On the Journey a little down today . . .
Still working on the same Bible verse this week. I have no idea why this verse is so hard for me. Usually by this time of the week or by Thursday I am able to type most of the verse by memory. Not this one! Here it is again. It is a beautiful message.

NOT TOUCH 106.1 FM Boston: KingCast says "Welcome to Black History Month, the coldest, shortest...."
KingCast photo, Slades wallside. I am not for the abolition of Black History Month -- American Indians, blacks, women the Irish and other minorities made sacrifices (or were slaughtered) and contributions all the time in the building of this country but isn't it ironic that it is the shortest and coldest month? Even though I ski, I'm looking forward to warmer weather and Juneteenth.

Great to see in yesterday’s Guardian editorial, the following : “…the deep dream of Albion, from Arthur to Falstaff to Bunyan to Blake to Sandy Denny…” ; over the top maybe, but well done, whoever thought of linking her with this illustrious company.
At last, yesterday, an arse-licking cartoon – but who is it, Fox, Werritty, or a generic lobbyist tugging at the trousers of the banker pigs? I guess Werritty, from the business cards scattered around. And what is that in Haigh’s hand?
Proper blog to follow on Thursday – meanwhile, read yesterday’s, on Vertov and Cezanne.

Toothbrush sterilization system
Patent number: 9756932
Abstract: In one example, we describe a method and system for toothbrush sterilization and/or storage with better quality in terms of hygiene and convenience, where the brush head and the shaft that enter the user's mouth are never contacted by the chamber. Also, below the brush head and shaft, there is no chamber. If any drops of water were to fall off the brush head, they would fall all the way through the chamber and reside on the counter on which the chamber rests, which can be removed or cleaned easily later. In one example, we use a UV-C lamp as our sterilization technique. This selection has many advantages over the other sterilizations techniques. In one example, we use a single lamp, but that lamp is in a ring configuration (otherwise known as annular, torus, or donut), with good coverage of the toothbrush, from all angles.

AP journalists prevented from entering Bahrain - Yahoo News
Bahraini anti-government protesters wave national flags during a march Tuesday, April 17, 2012, in Al-Dair, …
LONDON (AP) — Two Associated Press journalists are being prevented from covering the Bahrain Grand Prix because they have not received visas to enter the Gulf kingdom.The two writers, based in Dubai, were expected to cover practice and qualifying along with Sunday's race. They have been granted accreditation to cover the race by the sport's governing body, the Paris-based International Automobile Federation. But they have been told by Bahrain's Information Affairs Authority that their visa applications to enter the kingdom are still "pending."Other Gulf-based journalists working for international news organizations also had not received visas in time to cover Thursday's practice."We cover sports events throughout the world, under all kinds of circumstances, and we see no reason that journalists should be prevented from coverage in Bahrain," AP Managing Editor for Sports Lou Ferrara said. "The government should not dictate or prohibit sports coverage in any way."The Bahrain GP was canceled last year because of anti-government protests, which have left nearly 50 dead since February 2011. But last week, Formula One boss Bernie Ecclestone declared the Gulf kingdom safe and decided to go ahead with the race.Ecclestone said all 12 teams told him they were happy to travel to the island nation despite almost daily violent clashes between security forces and protesters.

Bahrain's Information Affairs Authority, which governs press issues in Bahrain, claims that the visas are being held up by "logistics."Bahrain last year tightened its visa rules, including requiring advance clearance for journalists. Previously, journalists and others from many Western countries could receive visas upon arrival.The AP and other news organizations have come under pressure from Bahraini officials and public relations consultants for extensive coverage of the uprising and anti-government groups.On Wednesday, security forces fired stun grenades at anti-government protesters who swarmed into a cultural exhibition for the Grand Prix, setting off street battles and sending visitors fleeing for cover. The demonstration was the most direct attempt by Shiite-led protesters to bring their demands for an end to the near monopoly on power by the island nation's Sunni monarchy into events linked to Sunday's race.Two members of the Force India team decided to leave the country Thursday, a day after a team vehicle was briefly delayed by a firebomb while traveling to a hotel from the Bahrain Grand Prix circuit.

Where is she now?: 2009
Posted by Annette at 2:22 AM 1 comment:
So sorry I have not posted for such a long time. I am now in Hawaii, and have been since the 4th of July. Rahima and I were looking forward to seeing the fireworks here in Hawaii, and headed down to the beach in Waikiki to watch the show. We joined the throngs of people on the beach, in anticipation for the show to start, and when it did it sadly was on the OTHER side of one of the huge resort hotels, so the entire crown groaned in disappointment as we hurriedly attempted to walk through the downtown streets to get an actual view. 20 minutes of walking later, we could clearly see the fireworks show, and caught the last 2 minutes or so. Sigh. Welcome home.
Rahima's good friend Bridget came to Hawaii for two weeks and we spent a week on Oahu and then headed to Kauai (which is AMAZINGLY beautiful) for a week of hiking, surfing lessons, beach time, and just plain fun. Then we headed back to Oahu, were Bridget (after breaking her to and crutching it to the airport) headed home, and Rahima and I spent a few great days in Oahu with my good friend Emory.
Rahima headed home yesterday (Sunday) and I just took a quick flight over to the big island to hang out here for a week or so. I will be doing a night dive with manta rays out here, which I could not be more excited about. I have already met some great people through couchsurfing (still amazing) and am staying with a guy for the week who is already proving to be incredibly generous and like-minded. We are heading out to volcanoes national park for some camping the next few days, which I am REALLY looking forward to. I will be headed to LA in about a week or so, and then finally back up to the bay. I still cannot believe this adventure is almost over, but continue to be blessed by meeting amazing people and sharing such great adventures.
Hopefully I'll share some more funny stories in the next few days. Sorry again I haven't written for so long, I guess I just forget that people actually read my random thoughts! ;)

Okay, so I have only been in Japan for about 22 hours, but I have already learned a LOT. Here are a few of the highlights.
1-Toyito is NOT Tokyo in Japanaese. We are in a suburb of Tokyo.
2-The Giant Panda that I went to the zoo to see died in April 2008.
3-Tokyo, and probably Japan in general, would be an amazing place to visit if I had money. Everything here is ridiculously overpriced.
Honestly, if I ever win the lottery I might consider coming back here. Short of that, I am confounded at how people actually live here. We went on a sushi search last night (wouldnt thing that would be so hard in Tokyo, right) and of what we found it is average about $40-80 a person EASILY to eat here. Average price for a two pieces of sashimi is about $8. No cheap rolls...or if there are, there are no English menus, so we cant really tell! We even saw a Chinese Dim Sum place that had plates up to $30...for one thing!
The weirdest/coolest/silliest thing that this overnight has included is our hotel room. Even hostels run $20-30 a person a night. And that is if you can find room in a cheap place. So, not having planned again yet again, we ended up (luckily) getting capsules. What is a capsule you ask? Well my friends, it is litterally a little hole in a wall...imagine a nice mausoleum with sheets and a pillow. It is a hallway/room with about 30 of them, two high, built into the walls...and for $30, you can sleep in a little space, equipped fully with japanese radio, an alarm, and even a tv for your viewing pleasure (once again, much nicer if you speak Japanese). Pretty funny. The trains here are great, but once again, very expensive. We leave tonight, so hopefully I have enough cash to last me until then! I will officially be on US soil in less than 24 hours. Weird!

We have spent the last few days in Bali split between Ubud, in the center of the island, and back to Kuta, the party beach town just south of the airport. Ubud was great for shopping and eating. We indulged in the latter and were able to visit the restaurant of a former student's father there, which was DELICIOUS. We rented bikes one day and got a little outside of town, up into the countryside a bit and saw the beautiful rice paddies. We visited the "monkey forest" where the tourists feed the monkeys so much that there are hoards of monkeys that hang around. It's worth a small bit of time, but then feels a bit sad as these cheeky monkeys run around fighting each other for their own greed. Amazing what humans can ruin sometimes.
So during my time in Ubud I realized that a)I do love scuba diving and b) it RUINS my hair. The salt water has just fried it and the rubber straps on the mask have ripped and broken so much hair I don't even want to talk about it. So what do I do? What Annette usually does when she's made up her impatient mind. I started to cut it. :) A few inches later, I decided it was kind of good enough, and would wait for a "professional" to finish the job...or at least give in a semblance of style.
So when we got to Kuta we started looking for places (haphazardly to be honest) to cut hair. My requirement...cheap. They say you get what you pay for. I found a place to cut my hair for $2.50. Should I really be shocked that they didn't cut it straight? Of course not. Rahima just stood by and patiently rolled her eyes at me. Then later that night she evened it out for me. So, now I have healthier hair...which feels short to me because it sits just on my shoulders. Rahima says you can barely tell I cut it at all. I say she's crazy. When I get some time I'll upload some pics.
Also, I have spent the last few days here in Bali not feeling so great. Yesterday was the worst, and I actually spent the entire day in bed. Sleeping. So, I have gone basically 9 entire months without being sick, and now, about 2 days before being back on US soil, I get sick again. Hmmmm....anyone else think I'm allergic to the US? I love you all back home, but I just might have to take this as a sign. So consider this fair warning. If after a year at home I bolt off again you'll know it's nothing personal, it's just that my body is rejecting our country. I can't control it. :)
The rundown on Thailand...
there are mosquitoes that love me.
we are currently on the island where they filmed the movie "the beach"
(no leonardo dicaprio here)
went diving yesterday...saw a hawksbill turtle. AWESOME.
the company is very entertaining.
the tourists outnumber the locals where we are at least 10 to 1. (insert sad face here...but it is a vacation for Kevin and David, so it is perfect for them)
the internet is ridiculously overpriced. in fact, i could have eated breakfast and a snack for what i am paying to write this riduculously short update. :)
I'm an idiot. Yes, time changed, but now I'm actually 14 hours ahead of you all.
Next time I should philosophize about sleep, not time. And maybe the effects a lack of sleep have on a (usually) intelligent individual who (for obvious reasons of embarassment) will remain nameless.
Posted by Annette at 4:46 AM 1 comment:
Today not only marks me hitting my coverage of 18% of countires in the world as I enter Thailand, but it also marks a pretty pivitol point in my journey as far as I see it. Today, I actually moved CLOSER to being back on California time. I have spent the past 7 months slowly moving away from California time...inching my way eastbound across this little planet of ours. Except for my little jaunt in Australia and then backtracking to India, I have always been moving more or less east, and thereby gaining hours (and of course worldly knowledge of the "future") ahead of all of you back home. India was 12.5 hours ahead of Cali, and Nepal (just to be different from India) was 12.75 hours ahead. More than a half of a day. You were sleeping, I was getting up. I was going to bed, you were just starting the day I was drifting off to sleep reflecting upon.
But today I moved closer to all of you back home. I am now 11 hours ahead of you...and will only get closer and closer to catching back up. I guess to me it signifies that, although I still have some months left, my grand adventure is starting to wrap itself up.
Time. It's a weird thing. Sometimes it passes so slowly you think you will never escape your current situation. Othertimes it flies by so quickly you aren't really sure where it went at all but you would do almost anything if you could just stretch it out and make it last a little longer.
For all of you reading this is the morning, don't worry...today turns out to be a good one. :)
Posted by Annette at 4:27 AM 1 comment:
Well, now that I have had a decent night's sleep to recover and a good day out of the Phewa Lake learning (or attempting to learn) how to river kayak, I have a few minutes to explain my last adventure before heading off tomorrow morning at 6:30am to start the next one. This is definitely a great spot to come and play...as if I hadn't mentioned that before!
So we started our six day trek in the Annapurna mountains with the intentions of doing a circuit (loop). Not too strenuous, but a good 5 hours of hiking a day through foresty-jungle and up and down mountainsides. Well...the locals won't actually call them mountains unless they are over 5,000 meters, so I should really say "hills".
We did a semi-leisurely hike the first day and got to a little tea house just before the rains came in and thunder and lightning and heavy rain on little tin roofs pounded at us all night long. That is where I met a few British trekkers who were coming down from a different route, the one that goes up to Annapurna Base Camp, or ABC. Usually it takes much more than six days, mostly because people are not insane, take their time, and stop more often. They do this to a)enjoy the scenery and the great little towns and b)acclimatize because base camp is so high up and c)they are not overly-ambitious Annette.
So while Rahima was sleeping, I got some altitude drugs from one of the girls (who obviously didn't need it anymore) and planned our new route: to do in 5 days what most do in 8-10. Rahima, being the amazing friend that she is, knew how much the idea of "getting to the top" really inspired me, so despite her concerns that we had NOT prepared for this as far as gear and clothing were concerned (we're talking 90+ degrees at the bottom of this trek, and literally freezing at the top), she let me run with it.
It was hard. Hard. Rahima is like the mountain goat/pack mule of hiking. She sees uphill and puts on the turbo-boosters. I have hiked with her enough to know this. But somehow it never ceases to amaze me. She is just the little engine that could, and the only living thing that actually GAINS speed while going uphill. I, on the other hand, make it. I'm not saying it's pretty...but I get there.
Most of the time we had beautiful views, blue skies and cooler weather as we got higher up (yeah for me, bad for Rahima). We did get rained and subsequently hailed on as well at times. Not as fun. And who knew that ladybugs, yes ladybugs, live by the billions all the way up to 4100meters?!?! They were absolutely everywhere.
So going up was great...but coming down (end of day 4) either something I ate or drank caught up with me a bit and let's just say thank goodness for Immodium, and we'll leave it at that. :)
Met some really cool people along the way, and saw porters (both local and for tourists) carrying the most amazing loads and running both up and down the hills I was struggling with. And even more amazing than that...they oftentimes are doing it in rubber sandals and flip-flops!
I have so much more to say, but my time is up and I am starving...so I'm gonna run for now, but I'll be back in three days with some (hopefully) good white water kayaking stories.
Just a quick note to let you all know that we made it up to Annapurna Base Camp (not our original trekking route...but well worth the change) at 4130 meters.
We also made it back down. :)

As I fight with internet connections in Uganda, here are a few of my favorite pictures from Kruger National Park in South Africa. Truly an amazing time. Hope you enjoy!
Posted by Annette at 1:00 PM 1 comment:
This is just a quick note to let you all know that we head to Johannesburg today (we are currently waiting to board the plane at a nice and early 5:33am) and then we drive up to Kruger National Park where we will be intil the 22nd. Don't know how the coverage is there, so don't worry about me if I go MIA for a few days here!
We had an amazing time in Cape Town and stayed with a friend of a friend, Jess, who is quite possibly one of the most inspiring and humble people ever. She is doing her MA on sustainable environments and communities and her work is so interesting. The institute that she is linked up with is affiliated with a government (public) school, which she took us to visit yesterday. Her mom (also amazing) is the director of finance for a private school which we got to go visit as well. Two very different worlds for sure, and really great to be able to see both, so close together and yet so distinct.
We definitely could have stayed much longer in CT, but had to keep moving since we had booked accomodations in Kruger a few weeks back. Urgh! How I hate schedules these days. Spoiled, spoiled, spoiled!
1- it is warm. :) I like that a lot.
2- the accent is really cool. I like accents.
3- they drive on the "wrong" side of the road, which I am now getting used to. It is a little bizzare to shift with your left hand, signal with your right, and regardless of how good I am getting at this, as soon as I climb in the driver's seat, I inevitably reach over my LEFT shoulder for the seatbelt!
4- did I mention it is warm?
5- in Cape Town the hiking is literally overlooking the city. Look up, there is a big mountain (or two or three or five) to hike. We hiked Table Mountain yesterday, and I am sore today!
6- wildlife. Okay, so I've only seen great white sharks and huge monkeys crossing the road so far, but soon we will head to Kruger Park to see more big game.
7- they make outstanding wine.
8- they have penguins. :)
9- they call stoplights "robots".
10- they make a really great liqour from a fermented fruit that tastes a lot like baileys irish cream, but better. Apparently there are videos of elephants and baboons alike eating this fallen marula fruit, and getting drunk, and then being hungover the following day. now that is funny.
Sometimes great things take place on Thursdays. For example, I was born on a Thursday, and todays Thursday will be just as important and memorable to me as that was. Why? Because today, I went on a boat off the coast of South Africa, suited up, and waited patiently with 14 other passengers as the crew started chumming...for great whites.
They had warned us that because the sharks are wild animals they can't guarantee any sightings, and the first boat out this morning saw no sharks at all. Well, our luck was much better.
It only took about 45 minutes before the first (and littlest at about 2 meters) made an appearance. We all gawked from the boat, then the cage was lowered in and they asked for the first five suckers who wanted in. Rahima and I probably would have knocked people clear off the boat to get in first, and lucky for them, no one was in our way. So in we went and waited for our little friend to come back.
The water is pretty murky so you kind of balance in the cage without scuba gear or a snorkel (apparently the regulator bubbles annoy the sharks and keep them further away) and keeping all hands and toes in the cage. When the sharks get close (lured by the chum and a bunch of fish heads all tied to a buoy) the crew baits it towards the cage (within inches literally) and they yell "down" and you hold your breath and submerge yourself to see the big fish swim by. It is really cold, but you are so excited, waiting at eye level to the surface for jaws. And when you see these sharks you forget about everything else. You just want them to stay right in front of you so you can study them...but they couldn't care less what you want, and why should they?
You can surprisingly see a lot more of the sharks from the boat than from in the cage, and even with that said, I had semi-jinxed shark luck. They are the only surface feeding sharks (sorry surfers) so they come up, jaws fin and all, and then grab their prey, sometimes even launching themselves clear out of the water because of the speed they use for their surprise attacks (as many of you have probably seen on Discovery. Yup, that's here.)
The first shark to really grab at the bait came up right as I looked down to pass someone a pair of booties. Then I went in the cage and saw it swim by, but no looking down its throat or anything. The next time, on the boat I turned to go get my fleece, and shark number 2 showed his face. The third time I looked left, it was right. So I saw a lot of fins and back and thrashing (and boy do they thrash like you wouldn't believe!) and underwater shark, but not that real picture perfect jaws face I had been hoping for.
So when we got the chance to go back in the water, we jumped in. After about 15 freezing minutes of waiting in the cage I joked that if I got out a shark would definitely come, and kind of believed it. Rahima told me to take one for the team and get out. So, numb fingers and toes, I climbed out, grabbed my camera and focused on the bait. And true to the day, about 7 minutes later the last shark came into sight. Huge sucker. About 3.5 meters and massive. He came right at the cage, mouth open and hit the cage sideways, about 5 feet from me in the boat and probably 5 inces from Rahima in the cage. We couldn't believe our luck. And I got a decent picture. It was perfect.
So like I said, sometimes great things happen on Thursdays. How was yours? ;)

Simple question, right? Deserves a simple answer.
Seriously. I never actually realized how much the rest of the world is completely deprived of really good Mexican food. For the last five months, even in South America, we have not seen a whole lot of Mexican food and we have observed a complete absence of black beans. Can you imagine?
So yesterday I headed out to Oxford, which is LOVELY, to see a friend from college I hadn't seen since then. He's been livin there for about 5 years and one of the first questions he asked was "when was the last time you had a really good burrito?". Just hearing the words made my mouth water. I think he recognized the look on my face (which probably conveyed a combination of really high hopes for good Mexican food and a psychotic twitch of what bodily harm I might try to inflict if this were just a mean spirited joke) and said that a pretty good Mexican place had recently opened up there. :)
I actually finished the whole burrito (anyone who knows how much I normally eat at one sitting should be shocked) along with a good old Sol beer. Yummy.
The other "food" I miss is hostess cupcakes. (Yes...I know. That's why I put quotes around food!). I swear that if I find them I might have to eat a few packages at once.
Other than that, London has been a really fun time to wander and to catch up with a lot of good people. We sent back our jackets and donated some other warm stuff this morning. (Side note, who knew mailing this was SO expensive?!?) We just went on the London Eye (thanks Joe!) Which gave us nice parting views of the city. In a few hours we'll head the airport and onto South Africa, where we will be for a few weeks. Warm weather, here we come!!!

Well, Rahima and I are thoroughly enjoying our adventures, but so is Gnomey. He has started his own blog, to share his side of the story as well. He has just started writing, so be patient with him, but you can find his blog at www.throughagnomeseyes.blogspot.com
(yes...we have that much time on our hands!)

for its castle, its toy-like charm, or its cheap beer. But for me, Prague will always hold a deeper and more personal connection. Prague will be the location of the discovery of my first, real, official grey hair.
Yesterday I went walking around Prague with Alan, a real Scotsman (kilt and all which he donned for us the night before) to see most of the sights. As I knelt down to take a picture of a swan on the river, Alan said, "Hold on! I see something here!" A second later there was a sharp twinge of pain as a single hair (or maybe a few and that is what hurt so much!) was yanked out of my head and presented to me for the viewing. Yup. Unquestionable proof. Grey.
And yes. I saved it. :)
So there you have it. The latest development and milestone in my life. And now the thoughts running through my head include: because I plucked it will seven really grow back in its place? How long have I really had grey hair, but covered it up with my incessant hair-dying addiction? Will I look as good with grey hair as Maria Rosa does? God, I hope so.

Manarola. One of the five towns of le cinque terre. Sigh.
Wow, I can´t believe it has been almost a full week since I have sat down and blogged! Believe it or not, we finally dragged ourselves out of Italy. It was so difficult! We really got used to our lazy little lives, living just above the waterfront, waking up to good breakfasts, then long beautiful walks, good people in town, frisbee in the public square with the little old man who watched from his window, and then three course homecooked meals for dinner. Seriously, if anyone had previously tried to tell me that some of the best food on this trip would come from inside a little apartment with two guys from Pennsylvania while in Italy, I would have told them they were crazy. But it was true.
Paul, Me, Rahima, Jason on one of the trails between two of the towns. Not a bad view, huh?
We played cards, (Briscola being my new favorite card game, but unfortunately I didn´t buy a deck before I left...), drank wine (lots of it) and ate and ate and ate. The Italian way I guess! Pesto-broccoli riosotto, pasta with a mussle-clams sauce, ribbolita, eggplant parmesan, gnocci, omlettes galore, more pasta with meat or fresh vegetable sauces, and the list goes on and on. Fresh breads, meats and cheeses everyday as well. Yummy.
One of our nice dinners, in our tight quarters. By the end of our stay, we had a total of 11 people in that apartment. Yes, you are looking at one of the bedrooms (4 beds) and the kitchen-dining room! The other seven beds were in an adjacent room, about the same size!
But like I said, we did manage to leave. It was hard, but I know I will be back there someday, hopefully soon. And maybe in the summer, but maybe I don´t want to ruin the sleepy little vision that I have of that area. Imagining it overrun with tourists and packed doesn´t make me think I´d like it all that much.
So off we went to Munich. We arrived at 6:30am and my cousin, Holger, was all smiles at the train station, ready to greet us. His apartment is only a few blocks away and so we walked through the icy cold back to his house. Everything here is covered in snow. It is cold, and beautiful. We certainly have not packed for snow, so all layers are on at every moment! Holger and his girlfriend, Isabel, are the two nicest people, who have completely spoiled us. We have been showered with so much love and kindness, advice, and food, it is incredible. In the past week, we have done so much, and we could be here for a few more weeks and still not see or do nearly enough.
The first day we kind of took a day to recover and plan our time here a bit. Since then, we have been on a walking tour of Munich, a Third Reich walking tour of the city, Rahima went to Dachau (I couldn´t stomach the thought, considering I broke down and had to be led out of the Holocaust Memorial Museum in D.C. a few years back), but she said it was really powerful.
My other cousin´s son, Yannick, came by to meet me because he left for an internship in the US a few days later, and it was our only chance to meet. He is 15 and much taller than I am! He is so nice and smart and wonderful. He and Holger cooked us spinach dumplings for dinner.
We ate at the Hofbrauhaus one night and made friends with a bar-owner who showed around to some of the Munich nightlife. We were up until about 4am and rang in Valentine´s Day right with lots of loud music and treats. Rahima bought me an oversized gingerbread cookie on Valentine´s Day, and I returned the gesture with a pack of ferrero rocher candies. Can you tell food (and consumables) are the way to our backpacking hearts? :)
After a few hours of sleep, Rahima and I headed out to Tutzing, where my aunt lives and left Isabel and Holger to enjoy their Valentine´s Day. We got to see my other cousin and her family who live there as well. I come from good people. They are all always on the go, and always joking around about something. We went to see the Neuschwanstein Castle (the one Disneyland is modeled after). Wow. We drank gluhwine (a mulled wine) to keep warm and Sebine, my cousin, properly engaged me in a snowball fight. I turned around at one point to be met dead on with a snowball to the face. Rahima caught some of it on video, which is even funnier because you can quickly see who grew up with snow. While I try to make cute little snowballs like they do in cartoons, my cousin expertly sweeps armfulls of snow directly at me. I think I got one good shot at the end there though! (sadly, I can´t figure out how to get sound on here!)
My family. Isable, Rahima, Holger, Tante Inge, Me, Rene, Sebine, Finn (the dog)
The next day Holger, Isabel, my aunt Inge, Sebine, her husband Rene, thier daughter Marie, and Rahima and I all headed out for a beautful hike in the snow. We rented sleds so that after two hours up, we could sled down. I have never been sledding before, but it was so much fun. For some reason I kept taking facefulls of snow (similar to my previous day´s snowball fight) but had a blast.
Wait, where´s the sled? :)
That night my Tante Inge taught me how to make a lovely Bavarian dish, Kaiserschmarrn. It is amazing how many sweets, or dumplings covered in melted butter make up the main dishes here. There is a reason I love those types of foods...it is aparently in my blood! :)
Me and Marie. My second cousin? Is that what you call your cousin´s kids? She is so great. Really funny, and sarcastic, like the rest of us!
Yesterday, sore as could be, Holger and I went skiing. It was so much fun. The weather wasn´t sunny, but there was very little wind and the snow was absolutely PERFECT! It was great. We skied, drank more gluhwine, and had a really, really special day. And finally, I am sitting down, able to tell the tales, via my blog. Being with my family has been such a treat. I feel so lucky to be across the world, and yet to feel absolutely and completely at home. I only wish I had more time here, but I keep reminding myself that a plane ride makes me a lot closer than I think. :) I will be very sad to leave tomorrow, but I am really grateful for all the fun things we were able to do in such a relatively short amount of time.

Eric, I did think you sounded a little subdued and just wrote it off to nerves. But I think you did great, so I wouldn't sweat it. Thanks again for coming on, and I'm looking forward to the next time.
You did fine ease up on yourself..Zeke on the other hand ...well I don't want to be coarse in my words :Phehe:)Love now tomorrow is not promised to anyone
One of these days I'm going to count all the "umm...", "ahhh...", "like..." and "you know..." that come out of my mouth in my podcasts. It's umm... like... ahh... you know... frustrating when the thoughts don't move smoothly from brain to mouth.

MORE THAN WORDS: LONG TIME NO UPDATE, HERE I AM AGAIN.
Sincerely apologize for the hiatus again. I have been abandon this corner for so long due to my pack schedule. Here I am again to put in some content to make it fulfill. A random post to update what I am up to recently.
Started to like drawing and coloring after I join the iron man contest by nuffnang, I didnt get to watch premier unfortunately. Produce few drawing after the days. My level of patience is very short term, I just manage to have two pictures.
My drawing is so ugly to the extend people thought that it was my student's drawing.
Mother's day card idea out of no where, just wanna kick away the traditional old school style which is the FLOWER. Handbag go for this time!
One fine tuesday, outing with sister and mummy to the mall. using instant camera to take picture. somehow my sister look like japanese on the most right picture.
The boyfriend know I am a garbage collector. Whatever sial also I will make it as collection. One of them would be badges. He saw me happy to win many badges from nuffnang. Therefore, he got me this from the election pre ceramah in stadium.
Life is good and bored at the same time. Move on instead of staying at the same spot!

Intuitive fred888: Extreme Spiritual Adaptation
This is sort of a part 2 to Spiritual Adaptation above.
And then there is what I call "Survival spiritual Adaptation". This is my story.
After being raised in what I now would call a cult but then considered my religion I was excommunicated from this religion at age 21 because I dared to ask questions. In any religion there are certain questions that cannot be asked without excommunication from that religion. However, I didn't realize at age 21 yet that there aren't ANY religions that are not hypocritical in philosophy and practice on earth. There might be people's individual and personal religions that they make in personal covenants with God but as far as organized religions go at some level or another they are all hypocritical sooner or later. The reason for this is that all religions have to scare you into financially supporting their "Priest or minister class" and the building and maintenance of their churches and church grounds etc. This inevitably creates hypocrisy. So, religions per say don't have to create hypocrisy but whenever you bring money into that religion it becomes hypocritical. So, because of this all religions that use money are by this very reasoning "hypocritical". So then, I think it useful to say there are no monied religions that aren't lies on multiple levels.
So, to have a genuine and sincere covenant with God it must only be between you and God directly. Anything else at some point becomes hypocritical and eventually a blasphemy of your relationship with God. This is what I think most people in religions don't realize. And this is where all the abuses both internally and externally of people's lives in relation to their religions come into being.
So, even though religions do a whole lot of good in socially motivating people to be much more compassionate and less violent as people, it also causes serious breaks of people with their direct relationships with God whenever money (through priest and ministers) comes between the person and their relationship with God and life.
This is one of the reasons why I advocate a personal relationship with God first, and then if you still want to have the social aspect of a church experience that it becomes a secondary experience. In this way with your eyes wide open you see religion and church for what it is and don't confuse it with your personal experience with God.
This extreme personal spiritual adaptation is necessary for clarity in your life. Without this distinction you become like a child for life within your church and never become a self actuating and self disciplined adult in your life. For some people remaining an eternal child not responsible for their own actions might be desirable. However, for me, I prefer to think for myself and to communicate with God directly all the time 24 hours a day.

Ghost (Felix the Cat) | Villains Wiki | Fandom powered by Wikia
Ghost (Felix the Cat)
Share	The "Ghost" in the Felix the Cat cartoons. The Ghost is the main villain from the 1923 Felix the Cat cartoon "Felix the Ghost Breaker" and is one of Felix's earlier adversaries (though not the first).
The Ghost was first encountered by Felix when the cat decided to take a nap at a local cemetery, The Ghost terrorized Felix before heading off to a nearby farm - knowing the Ghost was planning mischief Felix followed him in order to check up on goings on.
Sure enough Felix watched as The Ghost scared off a barnyard full of animals before terrorizing the farmer himself, invading his home and frightening him away - even going as far as scaring away the Reserves after the farmer called them in desperation.
Deeply upset at losing his home the farmer resigns himself to defeat and prepares to leave but Felix decides to help out by riding the house of the Ghost - Felix then gets into a confrontation with the Ghost but is unable to capture the villain.
Felix comes up with a plan though and uses a bottle of rum to lure the Ghost out of the house before he pulls a gun out on the villain - at this point the Ghost is then revealed to be an unnamed rival of the farmer who was using the Ghost disguise to try and frighten the farmer out of his property and was unmasked in a manner similiar to a Scooby Doo villain (despite predating Scooby Doo by many years).
The unmasked "Ghost" is then promptly kicked over the horizon by the farmer's donkey and is never heard of again.
The Ghost in the Felix the Cat comic strips. The Ghost appeared as the main antagonist of "Felix the Cat and the Haunted Castle" in the Felix the Cat comic strips.
