There is a whole network of winter trails that provides access to the Lenzerheide High Valley. The Tgantieni high-altitude trail is considered to be the top route. It runs along the western slope above the village and is bathed in the sun before the morning is over. It is best to use the Tgantieni chairlift to reach the starting point for your hike. The valley station is only a short walk from the village via the Penasch quarter. At the mountain station you will be utterly captivated by the magnificent panorama – the chain of peaks on the opposite side of the valley is dominated by the Parpaner Rothorn while to the south your gaze will linger on the view to the peaks of the Albula valley and Oberhalbstein. The trail is almost level as it continues along the side of Piz Scalottas and Danis to Spoina. With all the exercise in the cold winter air you are sure to get hungry and you will be delighted to find several mountain restaurants lining the trail. Your descent into the valley will take you through snowy forests and across the ski area. Finish up by following the Voa Sporz road back to the village centre.

i didnt read them all, but do you have the horse glitch listed? thats the all time coolest, where the spy gets glitched into the merc and they run around stuck together like a trotting horse!
that and, im not sure if its your "retarded glitch" but is that where their arms flop around like they are limp and out of socket? Because i remember doing something similar on pandora where you shoot a sticky, and right as you cancel it, your partner jumps on your head and that happens, you can climp up and hang from railings and it looks like you are a hanging corpse...
good times...

and thanks for not adding the rail glitch...
Are you sure it's Y also? Because when I change visions in the air, I can run immediately when I hit the ground from my fall. I'll try Y out someday. I never tried Y before, so I will try it out.

i think its B then... although it doesnt make you not stutter at all when you fall, just gives you a quick recovery, you duck as you hit the ground, then hit B again to stand back up.
Well, you can do that too, but you will land softer when you hit the ground. You can also press B and switch visions after that. But without using B and switching visions, it's much easier to run and escape if you have to.

But the reason I am here, made this account, and on the computer at all besides playing SCCT is I'm trying to figure out how to do a certain glitch. I am wondering if you guys can help me figure it out.
Basically it let's you have the same gadget multiple times - two, three, or even four if you wish so. I kinda know the gist of it - if you get it, you can keep your multiple gadgets forever even if you unplug your Xbox as long as you don't alter your equipment. You can have 3 grenades and a backpack as merc, or 3 smokes for spy, or whatever you want.
I know it is similiar to the level change, ranked game, and change equipment glitches where you change the said settings without the other players notice. I know you turn all equipment on, then when everyone is ready you turn off alternate mode (while in deathmatch) and then launch. If you do it right, you go to the game and have one item. I know you are not supposed to check your equipment for this to work.
Now I think here is where I get stuck. I can successfully turn off equipment, and I know that much is right because I know it'll say "Your equipment doesn't work [sic]" when I launch. Then I think you turn all the gear on? Anyways... help.
So if anyone can tell me how to exactly execute the multiple same-gadget glitch, I would really appreciate it. If you guys want I can post the many glitches you have left out.

Posted 31 May 2006 - 02:50 AM
My curiosity stems from how easy this is to pull off if you can do it, and what funny stuff you could do with it. Imagine a merc just standing shooting flare/grenade over and over, or a spy with an endless supply of flashes.
I see your a moderator so you have ultimate say, and if you still think that somehow this is an abusive glitch, then just say so. In the meantime, could someone PM me the answer?
If your think I'm wrong and that this glitch would actually help someone gain an edge on LIVE, I'll be happy to prove you wrong in some Deathmatch (Gamertag same as name).
By the way all the glitches listed so far could be used to gain an edge anyways.
Posted 31 May 2006 - 03:26 AM
i just dont like an unfair advantage on live... its ruined plenty of xbox live games, id rather not have it happen to the one i enjoy. sure not too many people read this board, so it wouldnt really matter too much, but still.
id be happy to play you also... and since there is a spytray/mine limit, the advantage would be minimal, but could really assist some spawn camping assholes (16 frags each) who look for glitches like these.
By the way all the glitches listed so far could be used to gain an edge anyways.
yeah... the retarted spy glitch has won me many rounds.

I'm considering a career with Dish Network as a Field Service Technician.
I just got out of the military and I'm starting college in May. Is there anyone here who has experience in this field or even Dish Network in particular who can give any input on the career? Like is there a lot of work? Is Dish Network a good company to work for? Do you have any recommendations for me?
From searching online, it seems like the experiences are either very good or very bad depending on the area you live/work in. That's why I'm asking here, to get some opinions from those who are in, or have been in Michigan.
I don't have much hand on experience or training with dishes in the military, but I was around them a LOT and had several opportunities to troubleshoot some dishes. So the work and a lot of the terminology is not completely new to me.
Any satellite dish techs out there?

First, congrats and an autographed DVD to Ali W. for her comment on hope.
I am filled with hope when I see the small random acts of kindness performed by everyday people…Their kindness and thought for others gives me hope that the future of mankind and the earth is a good one.
Now Today's Post:
Regardless of whether you are Christian or not, or even religious at all, everyone knows the story of the Good Samaritan from the Bible. As the parable opens we find a man lying half dead on the side of the road. The first man to come by is a priest. In the social hierarchy of the day a priest is a man who would rank very high. The priest sees the man on the side of the road and understanding his predicament continues on his way.
The second man to come by is a Levite. This is also a man who has an extremely favorable social status. Much like the priest he sees the man in pain and does nothing.
The third and final man to come by is a Samaritan. This is a man who is looked down upon by nearly everybody. He has almost no social status at all. And yet, when this man passes by he makes a decision to act. He puts the half dead man on his animal and takes him to a local inn where he does everything he can to ensure that the man is taken care of, even to the point of making sure that if additional needs arise that they too will be cared for.
At the end of the story we are encouraged to, "Love our neighbor as ourselves."
As morning comes and we prepare to face each day we think of the tasks that are at hand. We think of the "To Do" lists that we've put together and the things on that list that we need to have accomplished. We think of goals that we set for ourselves and what things we can do that day to come closer to achieving those goals. Regardless of whether our day holds large or small things to be done we think about how we can put together our day in such a way that those things can be finished.
We think about the fact that the electric bill needs to be paid and how milk needs to be picked up on the way home from work. We think about the lunch meeting we need to prepare for and how management wants our final report by the end of the day. We think about the activities our children have and how we can arrange for them to have a ride home.
But, in the midst of all this planning and preparation we do for our day do we take time to think about what we can do to help another. For the fact is, that every day as we travel through our tasks we will find people lying "half dead" on the side of the road who need us to take the time to bind their wounds.
Now the chances that we are going to find someone physically beaten are small. But, we will find people emotionally, psychologically and mentally wounded. We can, like the priest and the Levite just pass by hoping that someone else will take care of those in need. Or, we can decide to be like the Samaritan and realize that regardless of what our own status in life is we have a responsibility to care for those around us.
Think for a moment about what our world would look like today if as everyone woke up each day they made a conscious decision to do something to help five people. Think about the millions that would be helped if only a handful of people made that decision. Then think of the people you could influence if you made that decision. If you made the decision to accept this challenge for a week that would mean 35 people helped. If you made the decision to accept this challenge for a month it would mean 150 people influenced. And, if you made the decision to accept this challenge for a year, all on your own you would change the lives of 1,825 people.
The numbers beyond that becomes staggering, and if you begin to think about how your influence would influence others to pitch in and do their part the numbers become astronomical.
But, more than the numbers think about how this kind of help and this kind of influence would make you feel. Think about the difference that would come to your life if every night you could report, "I got my five."

LOVE, love these - so much better than plastic! Review by Nature Mom
Quality Price Value
LOVE, love these - so much better than the popsicle molds with plastic sticks that the kids chew (yuck!) and making your own popsicles means we're avoiding the artificially flavoured, sugar sticks they sell at the grocery store.
My kids love to pick out different juices, yogurts, and fruit to create their own creative concoctions. I'll even make green juice and freeze it in our popsicle molds and they will eat them every time!!
The only downside is that you have to replace the sticks, but I'd much rather be replacing wooden sticks that break down in our landfills than tossing plastic wrappers from disposable pops or freezies every day. A summertime MUST have for any family. (Posted on 7/18/11)
Glad I bought these! Review by myfatcatpunkin
Price Value Quality
I use this constantly! I was a bit nervous to purchase this because of the high price, but even on my modest income I believe this was totally worth it. Of course I don't want my family, especially my kids, eating out of plastic, so stainless steel is something I am always looking for. I make smoothies quite often, and freeze the leftovers in the moulds. It's so handy to always have a healthy snack on hand. One of my favourite things to make is banana, walnut, and vanilla yogurt blended together, then frozen in the moulds (what an easy way to get raw nuts into my kid's bellies!). (Posted on 10/10/13)
Functional design, high quality Review by Patricia
Price Value Quality
These make great popsicles. The design works well, and the parts are easy to use and clean. They are a bit pricey, but high quality. Take a look at the photo before you buy, because these are [hilarious in appearance]. But great homemade popsicles are definitely worth a few giggles. (Posted on 9/25/12)Would you recommend this product to a friend? Yes
Solid but size too large Review by Elizabeth
Value Quality Price
Non toxic, solid construction but size is too large (too thick and long). Really wish this product was designed smaller, design is otherwise excellent. (Posted on 3/25/12)Would you recommend this product to a friend? Unlikely

on September 7, 2012 - 12:43 AM
By Jeffrey Freedman
Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI), which has been in existence for the past 56 years, is coming under criticism because of a recent sharp increase in the number of workers receiving benefits. Like other parts of our social safety net, SSDI has become a target for many politicians, who place the blame for the growth in the program on the extended period of high unemployment.
While it is true the rolls of those receiving SSDI benefits have grown (85,000 workers began receiving benefits in June) the increases cannot be attributed to individuals turning to SSDI when they can't find a job. There are a number of causes, the primary one being the aging of baby boomers.
When SSDI began, according to the U.S. Census Bureau, 16.9 percent of the U.S. population was between the ages of 45 and 60. Today that number is 26.4 percent. It is inevitable that as people age, health problems increase and more of the workforce is affected by injuries or illnesses that make it impossible to continue to work.
Another factor is the presence of women in the workplace. In 2010 more than 70 percent of women were eligible to receive SSDI benefits, where in the 1930s, only about 25 percent of women were in the work force, and many of these women held jobs (such as domestics) that did not enable them to contribute to Social Security. Claimants can receive benefits only if they have contributed throughout the years they have worked, and the benefits they are eligible to receive are only commensurate with the amount they have contributed to the program.
In Western New York, it takes an average of two years after the initial application for an individual to begin receiving benefits. Additionally, the average monthly benefit is $1,111, far below what most people would earn if they were able to work. Obtaining SSDI benefits is challenging for most applicants, and the benefits they ultimately receive provide only a minimal standard of living.
Our SSDI program was founded to provide a minimal income for those who can no longer work at any gainful employment due to physical or mental limitations. While it is true SSDI is undergoing a growth spurt, it is not due to people "milking" the system; it is due to legitimate changes in our population, primarily aging. This is not the time to consider dismantling a program that is one of our most basic social safety nets.

The number of college students volunteering grew more than 20 percent, from 2.7 million to 3.3 million, between 2002 and 2005, according to a study being released Monday by the Corporation for National & Community Service, a federal agency. The growth rate for college students is more than double that for all volunteers.
Among the report's other findings:
"We have observed a historically significant surge in service interest by college students, probably the most remarkable increase since the 'Greatest Generation' of World War II," said Steve Goldsmith, the former mayor of Indianapolis and chairman of the corporation.
Altogether, about 30 percent of college students are volunteering, with tutoring and mentoring the most common activities.
Utah, Idaho and Oklahoma had the highest percentage of college students volunteering, while Georgia, New York and Nevada had the lowest.
The study uses data from the Current Population Survey, a regular household survey conducted by the government that in 2002 began asking questions about volunteerism.
That means the study doesn't show the trend before 2002, but much of the spike in volunteerism seems to date to the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.
"What's remarkable is students who were in high school at the time of 9/11, and are now in college, have kept their interest in service at exceptionally high levels," Goldsmith said.
About one-third of K-12 schools now have service learning in the curriculum. A few colleges, and many individual college courses, have made service work mandatory.
But Goldsmith said he does not believe such mandatory service explains the increase, noting other indicators such as strong demand for slots in the corporation's AmeriCorps program. A recent national survey of college freshmen found the highest level of interest in helping others in 25 years.
Still, the report finds a growing trend of "episodic" volunteering, in which students participate in different projects but devote less than two weeks at a time to each, rather than regularly contributing to one project or organization.
Episodic volunteering may also have been boosted by the more-than 200,000 college students, many of them giving up fall and spring breaks, who volunteered to help rebuild the Gulf Coast after Hurricane Katrina.
"I do think college kids are given a bad rap," said Katie Franck, a senior at Elon University in North Carolina who traveled to the Gulf Coast on her fall break, and coordinates an after-school mentoring program at Elon that is rapidly expanding. "When they're given the opportunities and it's facilitated the right way, they're willing to donate a lot of time and energy to others."

Joining A Disability Swimming Club
Ideally, people with disabilities should be getting the same opportunities as non-disabled swimmers as part of a mainstream swimming club.
If you are at school go to our Under-16s section for more on disability swimming clubs.But there are also disability swimming clubs that specialise in training swimmers with disabilities. The choice is yours.
If you are serious about your swimming and want to compete then you'll need to be part of a mainstream club. Disability swimming clubs are for recreational swimming only.
Getting involved with a mainstream club can give you the opportunity to compete in disability-specific events plus you'll get the support of coaches to guide your development.
Both types of club have a great social side. Here's what Paralympic medallist and world champion swimmer Matthew Whorwood has to say of swimming clubs for people with disabilities:
It's great for making friends. When you're part of a club it's a great social activity out of the water. Some disabled people find it difficult to make friends or feel out of place. Clubs are great for helping people feel included.
Finding a Club
Here are a couple of ways to locate your nearest swimming club
- Go to our Pool Finder and check out your local pools. Clubs running from the pool can be found with the pool details. You'll find out the disciplines they offer and in 'groups' whether they offer opportunities for swimmers with disabilities.
- Contact your regional ASA office. They will have lots of information and can point you in the right direction.

Storm warnings came out early.
While kids woke Christmas morning to thoughts of Jesus, Santa and gifts, some adults woke to thoughts of the day after Christmas.
The first words one working man heard on the radio were of the pending snow. Another storm of the century, perhaps.
Snow is expected to start this morning, with 8-12 inches predicted in a 24-hour span. High winds will add to the merriment.
The front is coming off Lake Erie, which means a bunch of snow in the snow belt counties of Geauga, Ashtabula and Trumbull in Ohio and Crawford and Mercer in Pennsylvania.
Farther south, Columbiana County often misses the brunt of bit snows. If a foot falls in northern Trumbull, we often just see a few inches. But not always.
But that's the weather. No use grousing about it. Just deal with it.
It would be nice to stay snuggled up at home, close to the fire, the fridge and ESPN.
But that will not include the state, county and township snowplow drivers, the highway patrol, sheriff's deputies and local cops.
It also won't include many other people who have to get to work no matter what.
Even people who put together the daily newspaper, and those who deliver it. That's the deal, 7/12/365, or 366 as is the case in 2012.
See you on the road. Hopefully, not in a ditch.

You probably have to go to Windsor. The train station in Detroit closed in 1988.
I'll miss the Blackhawks rivalry, but look forward to playing the Leafs more, and certainly won't miss those late starts.
Yeah the giant train station closed then, but there's an Amtrak station in Detroit.
I believe they cut all Michigan passenger rail links with Ontario a few years back. I used to take the blue water line from Flint, through Sarnia, and on to Toronto. Then it was axed suddenly during the Bush years

Baseball's Zach Plesac Named MAC Pitcher of the Week
Ball State freshman pitcher Zach Plesac saw his first collegiate action last weekend and earned Mid-American Conference Pitcher of the Week honors for his performance.
Plesac earned two wins in relief in the same day as Ball State defeated Morehead State 7-5 and Wofford 6-4 in 10 innings Sunday. He pitched 2.1 innings in each game and registered the two victories. Plesac recorded five strikeouts and gave up only one hit and no runs in his two appearances.
The Cardinals started the season 3-1 in four games in Spartanburg, S.C. In addition to the wins over Morehead State and Wofford, Ball State defeated USC Upstate and suffered a loss to Dayton.
Ball State will travel to the Snow Bird Classic Friday through Sunday in Port Charlotte, Fla., and open against Wisconsin-Milwaukee and Mississippi Valley State Friday.

Although area residents off from school and work today in observance of Presidents Day will enjoy sunny weather this afternoon, the National Weather Service in State College is predicting that it won't last long.
"(Today) should be a nice day," said meteorologist Craig Evanego, of the weather service. "After a chilly start, we're expecting a great deal of sunshine."
But the sun won't stay out for long as Evanego reported that Tuesday will be cloudy with a possibility of a "wintry mix," which could include a combination of sleet, freezing rain or snow.

RASHELLE CAREY/Sun-Gazette
Bob Kuntz, of Williamsport, and his dog Samantha brave Sunday's cold afternoon winds while they walk down Sheridan Street.
"There's a system that ... is coming from the Mississippi Valley," he said.
As temperatures warm up in the afternoon into the 40s, Evanego said any occurring precipitation should change to rain. He added that experiencing all kinds of precipitations in one day has to do with how deep a layer of cold air runs.
As he explained, the longer cold air runs from the clouds to the ground, the better chance there is for a frozen precipitation. Even if it melts during its fall, it could refreeze into "ice pellets."
For rain during colder weather, Evanego said: "It'll start as snow in the clouds and then it melts (before hitting the ground)."
The wet weather should only last for one day, Evanego reported.
"It looks like things clear out Wednesday," he said.
Temperatures will remain in the 30s for most of the week. Friday could see more showers.
Overall, Evanego said the weather is typical for the time of year in the area.
"It's not unusual," he said of the weather. "This time of year, Williamsport sees temperatures in the upper 30s, so its going to be a fairly normal week."

Business people, from entrepreneurs to established CEOs, now have one place to go in Berks County for all of their economic development needs.
One floor in Reading's Gateway building at 2nd and Penn streets has become home to three organizations. From the 5th floor of the Gateway building, the view is of all the traffic coming into Reading on Penn Street.
Ellen Horan, CEO of the Greater Reading Chamber of Commerce and Industry says, "To have class "A" office space in downtown Reading was really great."
The Greater Reading Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Greater Berks Development Fund and Berks Economic Partnership hope their location will become a one-stop shop.
Pamela Shupp, Vice President of Berks Economic Partnership says, "So we can take care of businesses who begin with a seed of an idea all the way through to the beginning of their business process, all the way through to the point where they are in operation and then have additional business needs. This is just a great way to do it."
Move-in day for the BEP and GBDF was last Thursday, and they still have plenty of boxes.
Ed Swoyer, CEO of the Greater Berks Development Fund says, "Unpacking, putting some finishing touches on, it will still be a while before everything is done."
So far, the groups have seen benefits to being on one floor.
Horan says, "We are sharing some back office services, we have a common work room, and mail room. We're also on a common IT system and telecom system."
Shupp says, "So, now when you see someone in the lunchroom or in the hallway, it's very easy to access them and we've already started an intercom system instead of picking up the phone we can walk right down the hallway and engage someone.
Besides IT and a break room, all three organizations will be sharing a large conference room that holds up to thirty people.
They moved from two different downtown Reading buildings and say they wanted to keep that commitment to downtown Reading even with a move.
Horan says, "And really it's tough work in trying to move a community forward, trying to increase the vibrancy of our downtown, and our region as a whole, and each of us has limited staff. So working together can only make it better."

Writing in the U.K.'s The Guardian Brand, 38, a recovering addict himself, decries celebrity culture and media seeking to popularize a star's public fall from grace, but argues that drug prohibition and the criminalization of drugs exacerbate the problem.
"Philip Seymour Hoffman's death is a reminder, though, that addiction is indiscriminate. That it is sad, irrational and hard to understand," Brand writes.
"What it also clearly demonstrates is that we are a culture that does not know how to treat its addicts. Would Hoffman have died if this disease were not so enmeshed in stigma? If we weren't invited to believe that people who suffer from addiction deserve to suffer? Would he have OD'd if drugs were regulated, controlled and professionally administered?"
Brand, who starred in a 2012 BBC documentary about his own heroin problems, Russell Brand: From Addiction to Recovery, cites what he describes as "progressive and tolerant drug laws" employed in nations like Switzerland and Portugal as models that might help reduce use and death elsewhere. He also calls for stronger understanding of addiction, which he says cuts across society but causes the poorest to "pay the biggest price."
"The troubling message behind Philip Seymour Hoffman's death, which we all feel without articulating, is that it was unnecessary and we know that something could be done," Brand writes. "We also know what that something is and yet, for some traditional, prejudicial, stupid reason we don't do it."

Gavin Rossdale will join wife Gwen Stefani on The Voice this season as the mentor for Team Gwen, the Bush frontman announced on Twitter Monday.
"This fall, honored to be part of #TheVoice w/ the lovely & talented @gwenstefani," Rossdale, 48, wrote.
Added the No Doubt frontwoman, "It's official! So excited."
Stefani, 44, is slated to replace Christina Aguilera, who will take a break from the show to welcome a daughter with fiancé Matt Rutler.
Stefani and Rossdale recently celebrated the arrival of their own bundle of joy, Apollo Bowie Flynn, in February.
With three sons, the pair – who have been married for almost 12 years – know a thing or two about managing a team, but they will find a fierce competitor in Blake Shelton.
"I've never actually met her," Shelton has said of Stefani. "I know who she is and I know some of her music, and I look forward to beating anybody on this show, honestly."

Thursday, April 25, 2013
I recently had the good fortune to be introduced to Mrs. Dorthy Kinsman who lives in Jedburg, S.C. When I learned that she served as a missionary in the jungles of Brazil for thirty years, I realized there had to be a significant story regarding the way it used to be.
Dorothy was born in Nashua, New Hampshire on November 19, 1920. She had three brothers and two sisters. They attended a one-room schoolhouse in Hudson, New Hampshire. Dorothy, with a proud grin added that she always made the Honor Roll.
Unfortunately her mother died when Dorothy was eight years of age. As a result she did all the cooking and cleaning before she went to school each day.
Dorothy's neighbor was a pastor and she started going to his church. She states, "This was the first time I heard the gospel of Jesus and I immediately accepted him as my savior at the age of fourteen years."
After she graduated from high school she attended a Bible school in Providence, Rhode Island for three years and graduated with honors in 1940. Shortly after, she married Earnest Benard De-Camp in 1941. Unfathomable he was killed in the "Battle of the Bulge" on January 15, 1945 during World War 11.
With her bible studies completed, Dorothy was inspired to become a missionary. However the program required that females have a husband who was also in the program. Single women could not proceed without a husband.
Sometimes destiny intervenes in our lives and this happened to Dorothy. A friend of hers introduced her to a male missionary (Gordon Dudley Kinsman) who had returned to the U.S.A. for a short period of time. She met and talked with him about the missionary program. As fate sometimes occurs, they decided to marry. He returned to Brazil.
Dorothy said that to join him as a qualified Missionary she had one year to learn the official language of Brazil, which was Portuguese, and she did. With that completed, she shortly after traveled to Brazil and after a week or two of getting paperwork filled out and completed, they were married.
I asked Dorothy if any particular events stood out in her years in the wild. She told me about an incident that happened several years before she arrived. She said "one day some friends brought in an Indian of their tribe who had malaria and needed treatment. The native was given a dose or so of medicine. He later started feeling better so his friends were going to take him back to his village. The Indians were warned that he would still need further medication, but they took him home anyway. Unfortunately he died on the way back. As a result of this the Indians returned and killed every one of the missionaries at that station. The Indians had determined that an evil spell had been cast on the deceased. That was a dark day indeed." This incident happened before Dorothy and her husband arrived at that location.
Dorothy said that she and her husband came five years later and worked with the same tribe. We were aware of what had happened earlier and any time we provided medication we went to a lot of trouble to explain what they should expect and how to use any medications we gave them. Fortunately we didn't have any tragic encounters during my years of service.
Our relationship with the Indians was very good. We provided them with medicines and also taught them how to read and write. We were there to help them anytime they needed it. We developed a great friendship with them.
When asked how the Indians had changed her, Dorothy said with a laugh, "They taught me to live in the woods, they showed me what fruits were good, which ones were bad and identified edible plants, etc. In other words we learned how to survive in a Jungle.
When we first arrived we lived in a small house made with limbs and grass. You could build a small fire inside for cooking and warmth. When asked if it ever caught afire, Dorothy said "No, but you had to be careful, occasionally the thatch would have to be replaced due to insects eating the material."
Dorothy said there were other missionaries working throughout Brazil but they were not close enough to visit. We did have an annual mission conference when we would all get together.
When asked about personal health issues in the wild, Dorothy said "For instance if you had a toothache maybe we could get one of our assistants to just yank it out. We did keep limited medications on hand, but that was the extent of it."
Dorothy continued, "Transportation was very limited, for instance my husband built a boat and we would use that to visit various tribes living on the rivers. Sometimes we would be gone for weeks. The rivers have lots of fallen trees and debris, which slowed our progress and made it very difficult and time consuming. In addition, there were continuous swarms of biting insects to deal with. Some of the insects were microscopic. They bit you but you could not see them because they were so tiny. Their stings were like fire, I wore long cotton stockings to prevent bites on my legs. In those days we women didn't wear pants. We wore those long cotton stockings to prevent bites on our legs. We also wore long skirts and the more you could cover the better you would be."
"As a result of my years in the wild I can't donate blood due to malaria in my system. Several times I had bouts of Malaria that nearly got me. I would have a high, high fever. Malaria was probably our primary problem to deal with at the locations we lived and worked in."
"I witnessed improving changes in the well being of the natives over the years I spent there. I was there from 1950 until 1985. At first we traveled about with mule and wagon and then later we had gasoline vehicles. The roads were terrible when we first arrived. You had two ways to bog down, you could be caught in a wet bog or you could be stopped by dry deep sand. It would sometimes be days before you could continue your travel. You had to plan any trips carefully and make sure you had adequate gasoline etc. If something broke, you might be stranded for days before you could fix or replace parts."
I asked Dorothy if she had any children. Her answer "no" brought tears to my eyes when she informed me that she had lost five children before or shortly after birth.
For thirty years Dorothy and her companions made tremendous personal sacrifices to help and improve the lives of those they assisted. May God bless them all.

6 Pieces of Sci-Fi Technology That Make No Sense
The most perplexing part of any science fiction story is rarely ever a major plot detail, unless you're watching a SyFy film, in which case the most perplexing part is how the movie was made without causing the collective brains of everyone involved to have a group aneurism brought on by sheer stupid overload. In other sci-fi, there are numerous small and generally overlooked details that never get adequately explained because they're not entirely essential to the story proper, but at the same time could probably use a bit more detail because, you know, what the fuck?
#6. Escape from New York's Light Wall
The world's very first sci-fi filmmaker may have been a goldfish, or perhaps a playful kitten. I say this only because of sci-fi's long history of light love. The people who make sci-fi love lights. They like flashing bulbs and lasers and occasionally chandeliers. You can't make a good sci-fi film without lights. You definitely can't make a bad one. Now take a second to look at that still from Escape from New York up there.
Just behind Lee Van Cleef there you'll notice a massive wall panel covered in lights. It's like they based their operation out of a shitty Lite-Brite factory. In the movie, no one ever touches that light panel, it's never discussed, it has no purpose. It's just an artistic touch, a piece of flair. But what the fuck is it? It's like the panels on the 1960s Enterprise, just flashing lights blinking on and off to indicate that yes, we have power and yes, we're wasting it like the dickens.
"Captain, our electricity bill is ridiculous."
I want to believe this light panel has a purpose. Throughout the movie, the lights just change patterns. It's like a bothersome string of Christmas lights that got cubed and some asshole installed a blinker in the string, so now they all keep turning on and off, just waiting to cause a lazy seizure if you watch them too long.
The story in Escape is that Snake Plissken, a one-eyed fellow who growls more than speaks and who everyone thinks is dead, has to save the president from the terrible prison that is Manhattan. He has only so many hours to do so, otherwise no one gives a fuck, plus Snake will die. So he's motivated. This command center exists to track Snake's progress and extract the president once he has succeeded. Those lights, therefore, are to monitor the health and safety of either the president or Snake Plissken. That's what they do, all flipping on and off every second on what is easily a 3x3 panel set into the wall.
Do the lights indicate in some graph form the general satisfaction of the voting public with how this situation is being dealt with? Occupied cubicles in another part of the building where soldiers are preparing a furious round of musical chairs as indicated by illuminated lights? John Carpenter needs to spill the beans.
#5. Quantum Leap's Ziggy Interface
Quantum Leap was probably the best sci-fi show that Scott Bakula has ever been on. Top two, anyway. And the episode in which this happens will forever be timeless:
It's awesome writing with emotional impact like that that kept us all from noticing something that was staring us in the face since the show began. Namely that Scott Bakula is traveling through time via the consciousness of strangers thanks to the help of an AI made from LEGO. Look at that thing.
This thing could make you endure years in a Donald P. Bellisario show.
That's Ziggy. Well, that's the model handlink that Al uses to get info from the supercomputer called Ziggy that apparently has info on everyone in the past ever and is awesome at guessing what kind of do-gooder shit might make Sam Leap to another person.
You spend most of Quantum Leap either looking for your remote control or, at the very least, wondering what Sam has to do this week to get out of another jam, such as being a woman, or black, or retarded. I can't stress how impactful the writing on Quantum Leap was. But there should have been at least a little lip service paid to how a supercomputer with a million GB of memory, which was totally a lot back in the 1990s, interfaced with the rest of the world via a block of transparent LEGOs with a handful of LEDs behind them.
Comstock/Comstock/Getty Images
Just cross this with a shark and you've got a SyFy franchise!
Ziggy was advanced enough to have its own ego, but unless it was speaking via light and sound in some Close Encounters method of communication, what did that hand unit do? It seems entirely plausible that Al was just fucking with Sam the entire time he was adrift in time because no one knew what the hell was going on anyway. There was no display screen, no visible buttons, just some squishy, sproingy sounds when Al whacked it as an example of the quality put into its design. Does anyone but Chris Brown think something should work better after you smack it?
#4. Deadly Friend's BB
Deadly Friend is one of the less inspiring films in Wes Craven's film catalog, which is saying something because, by and large, Wes Craven doesn't make good films. Go on, laud the merits of Scream or Nightmare on Elm Street and I'll throw Vampire in Brooklyn at you. Then, when you're reeling from that affront, I'll double team you with Pulse and Shocker until you're passed out in a puddle of your own panic shit.
Filmmaking chops aside, we can debate the merits of the technology present in Deadly Friend because the movie is predicated on you not understanding robotics and biology and/or being heavily medicated while you watch. Here's the story in a nutshell -- this kid has created a robot complete with artificial intelligence named BB. It's basically his best friend and they do dumb crap together and have fun. He's the Hobbes to the main character's Calvin. One day, Throw Momma from the Train shoots BB with a shotgun because she is old and abominable, as old people tend to be. Slightly worse is that Kristy Swanson gets in an accident and suffers brain death. Kristy Swanson was very hot in the '80s, so naturally the kid in this movie loves her and wants to save her. He does this by jamming a microchip in her dead-ass brain. Naturally two things happen -- she comes back to life and she's basically a robot.
Despite BB being a friendly puppy of a robot previously, now that he's merged brains with a teen girl, he's homicidal as fuck. He pops Throw Momma from the Train's head with a basketball, there's a gif and everything.
Spoiler for those who feel they can get spoilers from movies that came out in 1986 -- the movie ends with BB tearing its way out of Kristy Swanson's carcass, only this time he has evil, sharp robot teeth in a decorative mouth. It grabs the kid who created it and kills him. The end. Now how the fuck does that work?
I guess this kid is a genius, what with his remarkable 1980s AI and all. BB probably runs on some kind of wicked 286 processor and has upward of 500kb of memory and everything. Still, merging that kind of technology with the technology required for a robot to grow itself a new robot body inside a human corpse like some kind of awesome parasitic wasp larvae is leaps and bounds beyond the normal.
Say Kristy Swanson didn't die. Could he have put that microchip in a sandwich and made the sandwich grow an evil robot? A watermelon? A turd stack? What exactly were the limitations on this thing?

RICHMOND, Va. - The Stetson men's basketball team (2-7) fell to Richmond (9-2) on Saturday evening at the Robins Center by a score of 76-57. Junior Chris Perez led the Hatters with 17 points in the defeat.
"I honestly believe that our team is much better than what we're getting in results," Stetson head coach Casey Alexander said after the game. "As soon as we realize it, collectively - that we're right there - then we'll get through it."
And the Hatters were right there, literally, up until there were just seven and a half minutes remaining. Trailing 54-49, Stetson allowed the Spiders, who remain undefeated at home, to use a 9-0 run to extend their lead to 14 points at 63-49 with 5:53 to play.
Richmond, now out to its best start in 25 years at 9-2, increased the lead to as many as 22 points, but a three-pointer by Stetson's Tanner Plemmons made the final score 76-57 in Richmond.
The Hatters dug themselves into a hole early, falling behind 9-1 before the first media timeout. Stetson quickly countered, though, using an 8-2 stretch to cut the Spider lead to just two, at 11-9, with 11:07 to play in the first. Perez scored a pair of buckets during the run to ignite the Hatters.
The two teams fought back and forth for a while, and Stetson finally tied the game for the first time since the tip when jumpers by juniors Willie Green and Aaron Graham preceded a Perez free throw to make it 19-19 with 5:10 to play.
It was Perez once again getting it done as the period came to a close, driving the lane, and finishing off the glass as the buzzer sounded to keep Stetson within three (28-25) at the break.
Stetson came out strong in the second half as back-to-back dunks by Green - the first of which was of the tip variety - gave Stetson its first lead of the game at 29-28 less than a minute into the frame. A layup in the post by senior Adam Pegg gave the Hatters a three-point lead before Richmond big man Derrick Williams snapped the Stetson run.
The Spiders again grabbed the momentum, slowly getting back out to an eight point lead, at 47-39, behind five straight points from Kendall Anthony and a fast break layup by Darien Brothers. Stetson got as close as four points thanks to a triple from Graham, as well as a jumper and free throw by Perez, but just over a minute later was when the Spiders went on their run to close out the game.
"[The guys] executed the game plan really well, especially the first 25 to 30 minutes of the game," Alexander said. "Offensively, we were doing something that we hadn't done all year, and we had great shots all night. We didn't make a lot of them, but we got a lot of layups and a lot of great cuts to the basket. I'm proud of them for really taking what we gave them and really making it work."
Perez led the Hatters with 17 points on 7-of-14 shooting from the field. Pegg added 10 points and four rebounds while dealing with foul trouble most of the first half. Green and Graham chipped in with nine points each. The former led Stetson with six rebounds, while senior Joel Naburgs led the squad with a season-best six assists.
Richmond was led by Williams with 21 points and eight rebounds. Anthony added 18 points off the bench, and Brothers chipped in with 16 on 4-of-7 from beyond the arc. The Spiders used 10 steals and 42.9 percent shooting from three-point range to top the Hatters.
Stetson will next continue the road trip with a pair of games in Florida. The Hatters take on Florida Atlantic in Boca Raton on Tuesday, Dec. 18, and then challenge UCF on Thursday, Dec. 20.

The problem with blogs, is where to start. I'm sure once I get into the flow of things stuff will come easy!
Should I concentrate on what I do for work or what I do for my club; my hobby and work seem to merge spectacularly, one of the dangers of working for the sport you love I suppose.
Development, what's that? Answers on a post card J I seem to spend a lot of time on the M4 or M3 (main routes to London), maybe I could become a traffic correspondent – "The M4 near Reading has stopped moving today because some dolt has decided to park his car facing the wrong way in the fast lane"
Or maybe one of those blokes who goes and eats at the service stations in order to write a food guide or something – "The £5.99 bacon bap came across as a combination of cardboard and that stuff 13th century sailors used to eat when they were starving; great value really, about £1 a tooth"
No doubt both will feature highly.
The week started okay, I drove the mini bus to Wandsworth South London with the second team to get a spanking in the Flags (knock out competition), outclassed and outpaced in most departments. The problem was that we scored first and just got them mad. The kids did well though, Bath seconds are a real mixture of old farts (Me ), students (hangover), and teenagers (acne). The after match food was good as well. Chicken in rice and a chilli sauce that completely anesthetised your lips. The highlight of the drive back was some numpty overtaking us on a country lane, then getting out of his car to swear at us for being in the way. Maybe he didn't see 15 lunatic lacrosse players in the bus, otherwise he might have thought better of it.
County Sport meetings in the week Bristol and London are always a blast. I see another guide book opportunity in that as well; "Curly sandwiches and things on sticks". A big talking point across the region is Sports Unlimited. Lots of coaching available between 3:15 and 5, but no facilities or enough coaches, and how do you "aim" something at a Semi Sporty kid? What is a "Semi Sporty" kid?
Club training went well, the girls nattered, the boys moaned, there must be some joy in dealing with little kids and teenagers. One thing they all have in common, is they can't put their pads and helmets on. I now have thumbs like Garth after popping god knows how many chin straps on helmets. Got some new kids along though. It was great to see the 8 year olds running around with all the kit on. It always reminds me of Marvin the Martian.
Next week sees the build up to my son's 18th Birthday. I will I finally get a pint out of him legally? And my daughter comes back from skiing (all in one piece I hope), family reunited…ahhhhh. More like the end of peace and quiet, ho hum

When Half is Not EnoughSubmitted by prophead on 14 August, 2009 - 13:14
Back in the day, when the TCP/IP protocol suite was the new kid on the block, one of the classic issues was how to deal with half-open connections:
A TCP connection is considered "half-open" when one party thinks the connection has been closed and the other party thinks the connection is still open.
One solution to the half-open connection is the old "When in Doubt, Time Out" rule. That is, if no packets have been sent/received on an existing connection for some preset period of time, unilaterally close the connection. Not elegant, but works great.
The Internet has grown exponentially over time and TCP/IP has become one of those things that are just there and works the way it is supposed to 999.999999 percent of the time. Today's average PC user really doesn't think or care about half-open connections as defined above anymore, or even how TCP/IP does what it does!
Why am I writing about this? Well, over the past week or so connections to two of my web sites has been bouncing, i.e., the monitoring service I use has been reporting intermittent loss of connectivity:
