Last Post
My time at DIL has come to an end, and I'm on my last week in Germany--as such, this will probably be my last post. Thanks to all who've posted comments, and to all who read this blog. I've been toying with the idea of continuing with another blog after this but, considering how far few posts I made this past month, any kind of updating would be entirely sporadic. If anything comes of it, I'll be sure to let you know.
Last time, I covered my trip to Goslar and the Welcome Party. I'll go through, more or less, what's happened since. Work ended up being relatively straight-forward. I ran through trials with various chemicals (all common salts and things that wouldn't hurt if you spilled it on yourself) and compared the waveforms. After that, I spent about two weeks working on the actual meat. I bought four cuts of meat--a lean pork slice, a pork shoulder section, a beef slice, and a slab of pork-fat (not sure what you do with this).
Then I would perform three sets of measurements with the probe--one set of four raw, then I soaked them in salt water overnight and probed them again, then I probed the salt water they sat in. That's twelve measurements; then factor in five different concentrations of salt-water and I end up with 60 waveforms sampled. To try and get an idea of the random variation going on, I took two measurements of every step--giving me 120 all told.
So I had a mountain of data, and I spent the next month trying to come up with something useful out of it. Just looking at the waveforms overlapped was interesting--I compared them by day, by cut of meat, and by set. What I noticed was that a lot of places had parallel waveforms with slight variations, so I took differences between waveforms to remove the overall amplitude from the picture and just look at the variations. I did that for many combinations, and I also took the approximate derivatives of several waveforms to see if the rate of change was different for the samples.
After three months of effort, I was a little disappointed by how things turned out. I was hoping for something clear and conclusive from the analysis, to be able to say one way or the other if one could identify cuts of meat by waveform. What I ended up with was a lot of inconclusive information--the probe was influenced by so many factors (and there was so many un-isolated elements to the environment) that the differences between measurements of a sample over a period of time and between samples on different days were huge.
In the end, I had to say that there was no way to be sure the probe was doing anything more than a conductivity meter with the current setup. I listed the changes which would have to be made to progress the project, and stated that I lacked the experience to say whether these changes were cost-effective and whether the chances of success were worth the cost. However, Dr. Hucklmann seemed satisfied with my performance and I left on good terms.
Following are random-ish items and accounts (in no particular order).
The goat things. On the way to work every day, I biked past a fenced mini-pasture containing an unknown species of some domesticated biped. They were probably goats, but I just can't be sure because of their strange appearance. They were kind of cute, and not knowing kind of bothered me a little.
The Chinese Restaurant. Germany has the best Chinese food, and I think my fellows from last-year will agree. I've had the best Chinese of my life in Germany without a doubt. On my way home from the gym twice a week, I went into the Chinese place (with real Chinese Immigrants and their kids; they spoke better German than me) and ordered off a print-out English menu. They had great stuff--I'm suspicious that their chicken was tempura fried, and their duck was fantastic.
Travel stories have become less interesting the more experience I gained--gradually it became a simple matter of deciphering maps and double checking with people going the same way. I never actually made a mistake on my trip, the only thing was one time when I was trying to get home and I accidentally got into the first-class section. I ended up having to pay there, but traveling was free otherwise.
All I wanted to say about Bremen, I think I've said with the pictures I posted. Virtually everything I saw was out-of-context, so there's nothing I can say to add to my stream-of-conscious commentary. The same can be said of Munster, with the exception of the fact that finding the City-map was much more difficult. I ended up crossing the street twice before I found the person who knew where the map was (the first people I asked didn't think such a thing existed), and then I had to walk from one end of the terminal to other and back before I could orient myself to the map. Once I got going, however, things went well.
About a month ago, there was a Goodbye Party for the Study Abroad students. Travel had become easy by this point, and I easily made my way to the school by bus and walked back to the train-station afterwards. The problem came when I had been told the building the party was in was the same as last year, and at (literally) the last minute they decided to change it and forgot to notify me. So I walked around the plaza for a few minutes, calling people who had forgotten I was invited, and no one decided to pick up. I had given up and was leaving when someone finally called back and walked outside the room the party had been changed to and led me in. It wasn't of much note beyond that.
I had a quiet sendoff from DIL, (one guy who worked in my room one day a week left at about the same time as me, and after I said we'd probably never meet again [considering he'd be gone even if I did come back to DIL], he said, "Have a nice life.") except for Stephan--who helped me plan my way to the Frankfurt flight (I'd been having trouble finding the schedule for the X150 bus) and who got me a going-away present of a special Northern Germany tea.
I have learned a tremendous amount during my Internship, gaining new skills and confidence along the way. As I've thanked Dr. Hucklemann and Dr. Werner, I also thank you one last time for you time and attention. Thank you for reading my blog.
To those who noticed, clearly this is what I meant.

Amy Winehouse - Death and mystery
Globally known British singer Amy Winehouse had a medical examination the night before her death and was given the all clear, it has been reported.
Sordid details surrounding Amy Winehouse's tragic death have emerged, with claims that she bought a cocktail of narcotics including cocaine, ecstasy and ketamine in her final hours.
Amy Winehouse gained a lot of accolades for bringing such genres of music like Soul and Jazz to the mainstream, paving way for other emerging musicians, not only from the UK but also from other parts of the world.
Celebrity friends and her fans have been paying tribute to the singer, Amy Winehouse
The police are to fix a date later for the post-mortem examination into the death of Amy Winehouse.
Amy reached far and wide with her music, popularising her genre, gaining recognition and respect for her talent and sharing the rare gift that she had.
Amy Winehouse's final night was spent watching videos with her bodyguard, her management said, contradicting reports that she bought drugs hours before her death.
AMY's unfinished third album could be released posthumously, The (London) Daily Telegraph reports.
While it is believed that the songs recorded by the 27-year-old British singer are still nothing more than demos, sources told the newspaper there was plenty of material available for another album.
Unfortunately, her life was peppered with a manic depressive disorder and encounters with drugs and alcohol. She'd shown the first signs of a self-destructive tendencies as a kid. Her father Mitch Winehouse was once quoted as saying, "She's always been a very self-willed kid."

We've arrived in Port Angeles!
Ka'sala and crew arrived safe and sound in Port Angeles last night - July 24 at 6:30 pm - making our passage 25 days, 11 hours long over approximately 2800 nautical miles. It was a fabulous trip and the sailing was amazing. We had no equipment problems, we are all healthy and happy, the weather cooperated and we are finding it hard to believe we are back in the Pacific Northwest. Mind you, the cold and rain are reminding us pretty quickly! Thank you all for all your support and thoughts - we heard you!
In a few days I will post the details of our trip. In the meantime, just thinking I will be back to work this time next month has me more worried than any long passage!

Trip to Goslar, and FLAWLESS VICTORY
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b0vhGEGJC8g
Yeah, that's totally what I did to that trip. Friday, I was actually worried about this trip because of the complicated navigational portion of the adventure. At this point, I had never actually progressed from the station to CaprivistraBe by bus before--and the meeting point the following day was at a place I had never been before. I can get away with saying it was a "Flawless Victory" of travel because I was never late to a bus, never got lost, and never got on the wrong vehicle.
I started with the Quakenbruck to Osnabruck train as normal, and made my way out and into the Hauptbahnhof. I was looking for the 21 Atterfeld to CaprivistraBe, when I realized that Neumarkt and the Hauptbahnhof are not the same place--they are actually separated by a short stretch of roads. I elected to walk the short distance, utilizing my map of Osnabruck--walking down Moser straBe, and then down Wittekindstr. to Neumarkt.
That was simple enough, and I found a 21 bus--but it was going to Kreishaus/Zoo. I understood that the bus was going the wrong way, but couldn't figure out right away how to make it go the other way. I knew I was in the right place, doing the right thing, so I knew there was a very simple solution I hadn't thought of--so I asked someone. Sure enough, the buses across the street were all headed to the opposite side of town and it didn't take me long to get into position for the 21 Atterfeld to swing up.
Bus Drivers are cold and cruel, no matter where you are. Just like gravity, death, and taxes.
I thought that cruelty was unique to the Gainesville 15 bus, but I learned my lesson. I got on the 21 fine, right as it pulled up with my free pass. The bus left the station, went five feet or so, and stopped behind five other buses trying to get onto the road waiting for a light. Up runs a girl and knocks on the closed doors, talking German and probably asking the bus driver to open the doors while the light was still red. Behind her run up twenty of her closest friends, all knocking on the bus and asking to be let on.
The bus is empty, I'm the only one on it.
But the bus driver just waits for the green light, for the other buses ahead to go, and then drives off leaving a group of over twenty people waiting miserably for the next 21.
The plan had been to show up and spend the night Friday in Osnabruck. Then my phone broke. I've previously blogged about that incident, so I'll leave it here as--I was in the middle of that crisis during this adventure. I ended up waiting in front of the building (no one was in an I couldn't call anyone) for someone to come for about ten minutes. Dr. Werner had just gotten off work, and showed up with his wife to let me in. They offered to take me out to dinner, at one of the Italian places we went to last year, and we had a good time. When we got back, the students were home.
I slept in Vincent's room in the space bed (the bed wasn't made and there were no pillows, so I went from room to room borrowing extra sheets and blankets until I had a reasonable setup), where we made a tolerable friendship. I woke up at some ridiculous time, like six, and ran out the door before any of the students were up.
Waiting at CaprivistraBe for the morning bus, I was reminded of all the times our group waited here last year--and also the time Andrew and I waited here for our taxi home at 3:30am. I got so choked up I had to take a picture, to commemorate the start of a new adventure.
I made my way back to Neumarkt by bus, where I found the agreed upon street where the adventure bus would pick up the students. I was horrifically early--a consequence of how rarely the 21 runs that early in the morning and the fact that 8:00am means 8:30am to everyone else in the universe.
The bus trip was uneventful. We get to Goslar and a bus full of students marches out to the Town Square, me taking pictures on the way. There's a tour set up and, after a quick vote, the guide agrees to do the tour in (mostly) English. Talk about luck, pretty much everybody spoke English. So we walk around the small town, hearing about the history of the buildings and Country, and I snap some more pictures. We go into a Museum that used to be some kind of minor palace back in the day, and we see a huge room with all the walls painted with biblical scenes (no photography). He shows us the "heating" which is really a hole in the bottom of the palace where they burned things.
More walking, picture taking, and lecturing later, we are back in the square and the tour is over. We split for lunch, with an agreed upon time to reunite, and I'm faced with a choice. I don't know anybody here, so I can eat alone or find a group to go with. I walk up to a group of about six, and tell them I'm here alone and don't know anybody and can I joint you for lunch?
The square is filled with restaurants, but I don't offer my opinions or preferences (being effectively a guest). We are able to get a table in the shade (hot day) and get down to introducing ourselves. Turns out, all the students I'm with are study abroad as well (they barely know more German than I do) with a couple girls from Romania and some other hard-to-remember countries. English is a second language for most of them but, with the exception of one, they were all fluent.
So the menus are in German. None of us are particularly good at translating from Menu to English, beyond "pork" or "fish" but a helpful girl offers to help me make a choice. What I want is a nice German schnitzel with potatoes and salad, but I can't seem to articulate that to the menu--which insists on presenting me with something interesting. I'm trying to figure out exactly what this thing is when the waiter wants us to order. I point it out and the waiter says something to the helpful girl, who translates to me 'it's cold.'
Cold? Whatever, pork is good cold--and there's potatoes and salad with it so I'll be fine. The warning should have been "Locals Only, this is a delicacy." That's the kind of warning you can understand. When the food came out, the girl said to me, "I'm so sorry."
I told it was fine, and it was, because the only thing you can do in those situations is acknowledge that the jokes on you and laugh it off. Everybody else gets German hot dogs and schnitzel, while I get pork jello.
Please, if you have any positive connotations in mind when you hear 'pork jello,' remove them from the premises. What we are talking about is the worst possible cuts of pork, completely uncuttable by knife and fork, too tough to chew, with little to no spices, suspended in clear gelatin, cut into squares. I even tried to eat it--a mistake. This must be a German delicacy.
Fortunately, the potatoes were fantastic. We're talking about diced potatoes fried in bacon grease with pieces of bacon sprinkled on top. The salad was decent too. So, with a couple pounds of potatoes and bacon grease in my stomach, we resumed the tour. In Town Square, the group gathered to watch the clock tower show--they had an actual mechanical performance to go with it.

I had an ice cream to get over that feel of having an uncomfortable lump of food in your belly, and felt better.
We continued to talk within the group and walk across town for about an hour, and I made friends with a pretty cool guy (who said he wasn't going on any of the other trips, so I'll probably never see him again). We bused home, stopping at a special monument and overlook for pictures. It was about two hours there and back, so I ended up finishing my book [Stardust by Neil Gaiman].
Eventually, I made my way home through buses and trains--navigating to finish my flawless victory.

Welcome Party
Hard to believe I've only just gotten to the Welcome Party--although, since this blog has been fairly non-linear, there hasn't been much recently I haven't mentioned at one point or another. Back in May or June, I was invited to the Welcome Party for the Study Abroad students participating in the program I was in last year. I train-ed to Osnabruck, where Dr. Werner picked me up and we drove to the on campus lodgings we stayed in before, and met the students.
There were significantly fewer people in the ground than last time: one girl, and three guys I think. However, we got several University of Osnabruck students to participate (only one person the same as from last year). So I introduced myself and what I was doing to the people I didn't recognize, and greeted the person who knew me from before.
Together in the van, we drove out into the German countryside--out to a farm near the Artland Breweries (with the Artland Dragon mascot, which you may remember from the basketball team) which we went to last year. The "Farm," as it was called, was actually a little 'Bed and Breakfast' type place with a working restaurant, a sculpting class, a pool, a mini golf course, and archery. There were lots of people there not associated with us; we were told they were having a family reunion of some kind.
Lunch was fantastic. We stated with shots, some sort of slightly sweetened green vodka if I remember right, and an epic bread bowl (thick pretzels and seedy breads). Our plates had a fine mix of meats, cheeses, and fruits, which is really my favorite kind of meal. So we mixed-and-matched our lunch items for a while, and then divided the party for activities. I chose the group going mini-golfing first, and I was able to get into an enjoyable group of three semi-competitive individuals.
I did well, winning a few holes and generally providing enough of a challenge to one without alienating the worse player. After golf was archery which, to be honest, I get board with incredibly fast. Sure, the first five arrows I shoot are interesting as I try to concentrate on the directions and hitting the target. But, when I'm hitting the target every time and I've repeated the same sequence of movements twenty times, my mind tends to wander--and that's about the time I'm ready to head home. Sure enough, we quit eventually and we split ways as I'm taken directly home (it's quite close) while the students are taken to the Brewery.
Probably got the short end of that stick.

| Levi and Bristol |
I guess I'll start off with her reference to the wine coolers being her "first brush with alcohol". If my memory serves me correctly, and remember I was the sober one, it was Bristol herself who was asking around trying to buy alcohol before they even started packing to go on this particular camping trip.
So I think it is clear that she was always planning to drink while they were camping. I know for a fact that my brother was not replacing her empty bottles with full ones, because Levi never liked her to drink since it just made her more promiscuous (Which those guys in Juneau will confirm, right Bristol? ;)
Bristol only has herself to blame for the amount of alcohol she consumed that night. Maybe she tends to forget that we still have mutual friends, and that one of my good friends was actually there that night.
My brother also provided a recap of the night right after he got home. (Remember Bristol, Levi and I use to be best friends before you got your claws into him and forbid him to talk to me.)
When I first read this story it made me laugh out loud. Does anybody really believe a good Christian girl, such as Bristol claims to be, would really lose her virginity in a tent? I don't think so. Usually girls want their first time to be meaningful and special.
Besides there happens to be a small detail which Bristol chose to leave out. You see there was another couple right next to Bristol and Levi in that very SAME tent.
So the question we have to ask is, was the other girl also being "taken advantage of?"
Did she also have her "virginity stolen?"
Are we to believe that there were TWO victims that night? Because that is certainly NOT the story that I heard!
As for the part about Bristol waking up alone? She seems to have conveniently forgotten the part where she demanded that Levi get up early and start a fire for her so that she wouldn't be cold in the morning. Yes, her rapist got up first thing in the morning, to cut wood and build her a warm fire, so that she would be as comfortable as possible that summer morning. It is remarkable how those Palins always twist the truth in order to constantly appear to be the victim isn't it?. Un-freaking believable.
As for that "rape" allegation, I have to wonder if any of the millions of girls out there who truly have been sexually assaulted take offensive at Bristol claiming that her consensual sexual encounter in that tent gives her the right to place herself in their company? After all it is people like Bristol, girls who claim they were sexually assaulted when in fact they weren't, who give excuses for people to doubt the claims of REAL victims of assault or rape.
Personally I have never even heard of a single case where a girl continues to date her rapist for years, while enjoying an active and consensual sex life, and then actively TRYING to have a baby with this person who supposedly "took advantage of her". Are we to believe that Bristol was drunk on wine coolers throughout that whole relationship?
After I read Bristol's account I started thinking back to that summer. My mind was searching for every little thing I could remember, and remember I did..
One of the things that I remembered was that my much older cousin (he is in his 30's) came up from the lower 48 to stay in our house while working with my father. We made him a bed in our downstairs living room which happened to be very close to my brother's room. Apparently Bristol, the virgin, woke my cousin up several times with all of her .....well let's just say "enthusiasm." And by the way this was BEFORE that now notorious camping trip!
The next morning my cousin called my brother aside and had a talk with him. I think Levi was far more embarrassed than Bristol was because the next night she wasn't any quieter.
Now I don't usually feel comfortable talking about another person's sex life. I never even liked talking about Bristol trying to get pregnant because I feel that's a very personal topic
However, after she made those hurtful and indefensible statements in her book about my brother, I decided no matter how uncomfortable I feel talking about this that it is something which I must do, because no one deserves to be accused of such a disgusting and horrendous thing. Especially not my brother who, believe it or not, truly loved Bristol with all of his heart.

Update:
I am sorry that it has taken me such a long time to reply to your questions.
Because I have to type all my posts on my increasingly unreliable phone, it slows my response time down to a crawl. Frustratingly enough my computer is still not fixed (Apparently they are waiting on a part that's being shipped from overseas) Hopefully I will have it back in the very near future.
As for why I don't blog from the public library, or maybe a cafe, well because I've learned the hard way not to do ANYTHING on a public computer where there are other people around.
I'm not making any excuses, but let's just say that people around here can be kind of nosy.
Now on to answering some of your questions.
I apologize if that part about my cousin hearing Bristol making noise was confusing. I just tried to word things carefully because, like I said, I just flat out didn't feel comfortable saying she was moaning loud enough during sex to awaken people in the house.
And yes people, Bristol Pain DID stay the night at our house when she was younger.
Sometimes my dad would be up on the North Slope, and my mom in the hospital, or, if they were home, she would simply sneak through Levi's window.
Most times she would just stay really late, but because it was a school night, leave around 1-3 in the morning to sneak back into HER house before her parents woke up. (She was such a "good girl" wasn't she?)
Why was Levi wearing a ring on his ring finger? Simply because Bristol wanted him to wear it so the other girls knew he was taken. She also had it engraved, it said "I love you Bristol" in case he forgot I guess. I believe it was a birthday or Christmas gift, but NO they were never married.
Someone else asked about the custody agreement, especially the part about how how each parent isn't allowed to talk trash about the other parent, and wanted to know if that had been changed.
No, nothing has been changed as far as I'm aware. That's still the deal. But in case you all haven't noticed yet, the Palins are above the law. Essentially they can do, and say, whatever they want, and they don't even get a slap on the wrist. Yet if anybody even dares to frown in their direction they go after them with guns a blazing.
Believe me, I know ALL about that!
And finally let me address my "summer" camping trip statement, since some people thought I was talking about a different camping trip than the one which Bristol claims she was on when her virginity was "stolen."
I've lived in Alaska my entire life and I just consider Alaska to have only two seasons. It's either summer, or its winter here. For those of you who live in Alaska I'm sure I don't have to clarify that. For those of you who don't, I apologize and I will try to be more clear from now on.
Thanks for taking the time to leave your comments, I really do appreciate all of your support.
