Just when you thought we were
done talking about The Complete National Geographic, "we're
baaaaaaaaa-aaaack!"
This past week, growing deeper and deeper into this
Bosnia research project, I decided to bite the bullet when I saw the entire
30-CD set on sale locally here at "Computer City" for $159. (Brigada
price-watchers have seen it for as low as $149!) Got it home and unwrapped it,
queued up the search engine for Bosnia, and -- seconds later I was perusing
the June 1996 article and pictures on screen. It's worth every penny of the price
if you ever have to look up pictures. And sure enough, it was good enough for
my 11-year-old to skip desert for so he'd be first at the keyboard! As one
reader pointed out, these are scanned pages, so you can't "copy" and "paste"
the text, and the pictures aren't "objects", but it's still great if you
have a big screen. Unfortunately, according to Rod, " Woe to Mac Quadra AV users, for
you're likely to pull your hair out over crashes, at least if you're still
using system 7.5. I'm still trying to get to the bottom of this
incompatibility." We'll hear back on that one, we hope. Several have asked how
to call stores like Costco and Computer City from outside the USA. A better bet
is to get on the web and do a search for "The Complete National Geographic". I
tested this approach and in moments had on-line stores that would sell me the
title on-line in the right price range. Make sure you never send your credit

And thanks to the anonymous Brigada tipster who wanted all thanks to go to the
Lord!
The latest word from Rudy Giron, outgoing Executive Director of COMIBAM, is:
The hurricane mainly affected the part of the mountain outside the tourist resorts. The structure needed to carry the congress is working properly with electricity, water, etc.
All the members the COMIBAM team already in Acapulco are OK and preparations are moving ahead as smoothly as possible in the prevailing circumstances. So the word at this time is that COMIBAM '97 is DEFINITELY ON!!!!

Two previously Muslim Palestinians report
how God is moving in the midst of the troubles on the West Bank: "God has let a
new spiritual hunger loose, and reveals himself to those who seek him," says
one of the pastors. "On average, one Muslim is coming to believe in Jesus each
week. Eighty percent of the people in the Palestinian-controlled areas want
peace, and only twenty percent have extreme views," he says. A Muslim Sheikh
has also become a follower of Jesus, explaining that he wants to understand the
Word of God better and explain it to his "questioning brothers".

Have you heard that Sunday, November 16, 1997, has been declared an International Day of Prayer for the Suffering

There were so many goblins, I felt queasy inside. We
decided as a family that the whole holiday is nuts and we're all moving to
Bosnia by mid-month. Well, okay... maybe I'm exaggerating just a bit. But we
did decide to try to forego all the scary stuff that reminds us of the devil.
