David Uhlig Memorial Slideshow
Beloved husband, father, son and brother, David Curtis Uhlig, 56, of Richmond, Texas passed away peacefully on September 29, 2013 with his family by his side, following a two year brave fight against pancreatic cancer.
He is survived by his wife, Diane; their sons, Brian, Michael and Christopher; his mother, Gloria; his sister, Rae Hallstrom and her children, Sean, Megan, and Laura; and his sister, Joy Goudeau and husband, Russell and their children, Ben and Rachel. He was preceded in death by his father, Raymond C. Uhlig.
Dave was born on February 9, 1957 in Pittsburgh, PA. He graduated from North Allegheny High School and received a Bachelor of Science degree from Penn State University in 1979. While at Penn State, he was a member of the PIKA fraternity. He began his career at Westinghouse as a sales engineer at the Beaver Plant in Pittsburgh, PA and transferred to Houston in 1981. Westinghouse division was sold to Cutler Hammer/Eaton Corp. and Dave excelled in multiple marketing positions and received numerous awards over the years. His most recent position was as one of the Global Client Directors, Oil & Gas. He retired in March of 2013 after 33 years of dedicated service.
Known for his big smile and sense of humor, Dave had a love and devotion to his family, and a strong faith and relationship with God. Although he knew Diane at Penn State, they re-met in Houston in 1982. After only three months of dating, they met each other's parents that Christmas and were married on September 1, 1984. As a father, he was always actively involved in the many activities that the three boys participated in. He was a soccer coach when they were little, but when Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts began, he found a true passion to help boys become young, confident men. He was always volunteering for the camping and canoeing trips, and loved the high adventure trips from canoeing in the Boundary Waters of Minnesota, to rafting in Colorado, or riding on horses in the Davis Mountains of Texas. He influenced not only his own sons but also the other boys in the troop as well.
His strong faith was demonstrated by his many volunteer actions and service in the church. He was actively involved in the Harvest Festivals, FYSH mission camps (for the Jr. High youth), Fort Bend Ramps, and UMARMY mission trips (for the Sr. High youth). He also volunteered for the Walk to Emmaus weekends and participated in numerous Bible studies throughout the years. It was through these activities that he let God's love show his love for people.
Throughout his trials, Dave's faithful perseverance and unwavering reliance on his Savior as well as his unending courage has been an inspiration to many. Dave's words at a recent Emmaus weekend spoke his heart the best:
As difficult as cancer was in my life, it was also a blessing. It shifted my focus to God, not to me. It strengthened our family and our faith. It redefined my purpose as a servant and not to be judgmental when following the Holy Spirit's guidance in service and witness to mankind.

Sorry, when the PA's off to the sides and up in the air, I can get in close and not distort like this, but the center PA was flaking my mic out. You get the idea.............. This is amateur video.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
Pittsburgh ( PITS-burg) is a city in the state of Pennsylvania in the United States, and is the county seat of Allegheny County. A population of about 301,048 residents live within the city limits, making it the 66th-largest city in the U.S. The metropolitan population of 2,324,743 is the largest in both the Ohio Valley and Appalachia, the second-largest in Pennsylvania (behind Philadelphia), and the 27th-largest in the U.S.
Pittsburgh is located in the southwest of the state, at the confluence of the Allegheny, Monongahela, and Ohio rivers. Pittsburgh is known both as the Steel City for its more than 300 steel-related businesses and as the City of Bridges for its 446 bridges. The city features 30 skyscrapers, two inclined railways, a pre-revolutionary fortification and the Point State Park at the confluence of the rivers. The city developed as a vital link of the Atlantic coast and Midwest, as the mineral-rich Allegheny Mountains made the area coveted by the French and British empires, Virginians, Whiskey Rebels, and Civil War raiders.Aside from steel, Pittsburgh has led in manufacturing of aluminum, glass, shipbuilding, petroleum, foods, sports, transportation, computing, autos, and electronics. For part of the 20th century, Pittsburgh was behind only New York City and Chicago in corporate headquarters employment; it had the most U.S. stockholders per capita. America's 1980s deindustrialization laid off area blue-collar workers and thousands of downtown white-collar workers when the longtime Pittsburgh-based world headquarters moved out. This heritage left the area with renowned museums, medical centers, parks, research centers, and a diverse cultural district.Today, Google, Apple Inc., Bosch, Facebook, Uber, Nokia, Autodesk, Microsoft and IBM are among 1,600 technology firms generating $20.7 billion in annual Pittsburgh payrolls. The area has served as the long-time federal agency headquarters for cyber defense, software engineering, robotics, energy research and the nuclear navy. The area is home to 68 colleges and universities, including research and development leaders Carnegie Mellon University and the University of Pittsburgh. The nation's eighth-largest bank, eight Fortune 500 co ...
