Fighting Entropy: June 2007

Volleyball again

Cool ja?

A sea of orange and purple... Feels like home.

yeah yeah BOOO the Sea Devils won.

World Bowl Pregame

YEAH GO GALAXY

Warmups (this is one of the stadiums built for the world cup)

It says NFL Europa (can't see well from my angle) Real cool!!

Meatloaf plays for the pregame show!!

God's promise is just as true for these people, if they would remember.

Another shot of the rainbow... Notice that it's a double rainbow taken from out of a window at Max-Planck.

The institute after the rain

OK here's the picture of my bike. I have had to fix this bike several times. This is right after I had put the pedal back on... but I had to do it again because as you can tell I didn't quite pay close enough attention the first time.

Food!!

Wienershnitzel Jeger Art und Pommes

My cook for my dining in Weisbaden (no one spoke English)

OK this is the best fast food ever. Behold the Doner. it cost 2.50 Euro and so amazing (don't ask how much stupid coke costs)

The turkish place that has the best doners I've had yet. Doner or doner kabob is a Turkish in the sense that Turkish people invented it but it's German in the sense that it was Turks living in Germany.

Going into Hessen and Weisbaden

Looking off of the bridge with the Autobahn at my back.

Hessen is like another state. Mainz is in Rheinland-Pfalz and Weisbaden is in Hessen. The city of Mainz used to extend over the river but after the war everything on the far side of the Rhein became part of Weisbaden, however the comunities still bear the Mainz name.

This is on an island in the middle of the Rhein

The sun setting over the Rhein Valley

This is not how they normaly look but pretty funny shot of Hubert, Masaya and Mert all looking stoned.
This is at a great place downtown that brews it's own beer, oh it was real good, I would have more pictures but my batteries died.

Mert brought thie Hefeweizen up from his home in Baveria, I think one of the best beers I've ever had. You see it's being poured and the "hefe" filtering down clouding up the beer.

This is a little ways north of my home. Going by this place on my bike is awsome because it smells just like you would think. Depending on where you are coffee and chocolate and other wonderfull sents....

Yeah another shot of the "hefe" Yes this is in the office. Some of the guys in the group and I each had a beer on the roof of the institute.

Micro-Cantilever array staged for polymer deposition. Silicon wafer has been slid under cantilvers to protect bottom side while a glass slide covers the top of half the beams to serve as a control.
