Valpo in Eighth Place After Second Day of Hawk Classic
Related Links
Saturday, November 20, 2010
Both Nicole Sanhamel (Vernon Hills, Ill./Vernon Hills) and Krystyna Johnson (Montgomery, Ill./Oswego East [Delaware State]) posted averages above 200 Saturday, helping the #11 Valparaiso bowling team to eighth place in the standings after day two of competition at the Hawk Classic in Millsboro, Del.
Sanhamel was a consistent presence on the lanes for the Crusaders on Saturday, rolling at least a 200 in each of her five games en route to a 210.6 average on the day. Meanwhile, Johnson posted a Valpo season-high 280 in a win over #15 St. Francis (N.Y.) and recorded a 209.2 average over her five games.
The Crusaders started the day against #9 Kutztown, as action was contested in the traditional team format. Valpo got games of 208 from Johnson and 200 from Sanhamel in the opener, but it wasn't enough as the Crusaders suffered a 967-939 defeat. Valpo bounced back in its second match, against St. Francis, as Johnson's 280, along with a 224 by Sanhamel and a 209 game from Amanda Cortese (Hoffman Estates, Ill./Hoffman Estates [Central Missouri]), helped the Crusaders to a 1045-891 victory.
Sanhamel rolled a 202 in the third match of the day, against #8 New Jersey City, but the Crusaders suffered another narrow loss, falling 983-946. The fourth match pitted Valpo versus the tournament host, #2 Maryland Eastern Shore, and despite games of 224 from Sanhamel and 209 from Johnson, the Crusaders dropped an 1134-980 decision. Sanhamel completed her day of five 200+ games in the finale with a 203, but Valpo could not knock off the nation's top-ranked team, falling to #1 Fairleigh Dickinson 1007-876.
"Despite the injury of our captain, Natalie Cortese, the girls stepped up and played their individual roles," said Ashley Busiel. "I saw some of the best shots that we've thrown all season today. Our scores in our final match against FDU did not reflect our performance as a team and neither did our overall record today. I am pleased to see the potential the team has for the rest of the season, and we definitely accomplished a lot more than the scores show. Tomorrow will be yet another challenging day as we begin our final day of competition against #1 FDU."
Despite going just 1-4 on Saturday, Valparaiso (19-16) actually gained a spot to eighth place in the tournament standings, determined by total pinfall. Sunday's bracket play is scheduled for a 7:30 a.m. CST start.

A Weak Immune System may cause Chronic Feline Ear Infections
Otitis externa or inflammation of the external ear (including auricle and ear canal) is more common in dogs than cats. Persian cats and kittens however are more prone to ear infections than other cat breeds or older cats.
The main symptoms of feline ear infections include:
- Shaking head from side to side as the cat tries to push out the debris or fluid that accumulate in the ears
- Excessive scratching of ears
- Red and inflamed ears with an offensive odor
- A black or yellowish discharge.
Ear mites are the most common cause of infection in a cat's ears and lead to symptoms similar to ear infections. The average lifecycle of cat ear mites from egg to adult is roughly three weeks. In severe infestations, mites create an environment within the ear canal that results in secondary infection. Most of the time, the mites have gone by the time you decide to consult a veterinarian, but a significant amount of infection remains. A healthy cat is very resistant to ear mites, but kittens are more prone to get infected. Dog ear mites, on the other hand, can be a little bit more problematic.
Ear infection in cats can be caused due to several bacteria and fungus such as yeast. Sometimes it is a foreign body or a tumor in the ear canal that causes an infection. Since ear infections in cats are uncommon, if your cat shows symptoms of an ear infection it is necessary to consult a veterinarian. The cause of the ear infection in your cat may actually be related to a weak immune system.
The prognosis of ear infections in cats is good, but if an underlying condition is left untreated it may result in a chronic feline ear infection. Presence of any of the two types of viruses - feline leukemia virus and feline immunodeficiency virus can complicate the process of treatment to a great extent. These viruses suppress the immune system and have a significant impact on the overall health of a cat. Cats that have been diagnosed for diabetes are more susceptible to recurring ear infections. These conditions can be identified with the aid of typical blood tests.
Chronic ear infections can potentially lead to a decision to close the ear canal completely. Medications can reduce the size of the swollen tissue in some cats, but ultimately the cat may require surgical or invasive treatment. Regular and efficient ear cleaning while grooming can prevent secondary infection from ear mites. There are also home remedies for dog ear mites that are equally effective for cats, which you can use while grooming your cat. However, if your cat shows symptoms of an ear infection over a prolonged period, it is advisable to consult a veterinarian rather than letting the condition aggravate.

Liberty Belle B-17 Destroyed After Emergency Landing
Liberty Belle was destroyed by fire after an emergency landing in an Illinois cornfield.
Audio: Listen to the event unfold from Aurora tower (Courtesy LiveATC.net)
June 13, 2011 —The B-17 Liberty Belle owned by the Liberty Foundation was forced to make an emergency landing in a field southeast of the Aurora, Illinois, Municipal Airport Monday morning at around 9:30 CDT when an in-flight fire occurred shortly after take-off. All seven people on-board the non-revenue flight escaped the aircraft, but the airplane was destroyed when it became engulfed in flames. One person on the plane was treated for a minor head wound at Rush-Copley Medical Center in Aurora and released.
Ray Fowler, Liberty Foundation chief pilot, issued a statement describing the events that led to the forced landing and called the efforts of the flight crew "nothing short of heroic," adding that "their quick thinking, actions and experience led to a 'successful' outcome to this serious in-flight emergency" and that they did "a remarkable job under extreme circumstances and performed spectacularly."
The takeoff of both the B-17 and another aircraft, Liberty's P-40, aircraft was uneventful and proceeded on-course, Fowler wrote. "Prior to exiting Aurora's airport traffic area, the B-17 crew and passengers began investigating an acrid smell and started a turn back to the airport. Almost immediately thereafter, Cullen spotted flames coming from the left wing and reported over the radio that they were on fire." Cullen is Cullen Underwood, one of Liberty's rated B-17 pilots, tagging along as a support ship, flying chase in his T-6.
At that moment the B-17 was directly over a cornfield the decision was made to land immediately, Fowler explained, and the plane was on the ground about 1 minute, 40 seconds after from Underwood's radio report of the fire. During that 1:40, "the crew shut down and feathered the number 2 engine, activated the engine's fire suppression system, lowered the landing gear and performed an on-speed landing," Fowler wrote. The crew and passengers quickly and safely exited the aircraft while Underwood flying overhead professionally coordinated and directed the firefighting equipment dispatched by Aurora Tower to the landing location.
What doomed the airframe was the fact that emergency firefighting equipment could not get to the airplane immediately as the ground was too soft from recent rains to support its weight. "At the time of landing, the wing fire damage was relatively small," Fowler wrote. There were high hopes that the fire would be extinguished quickly and the damage would be repairable.
"There is no doubt that had the fire equipment been able to reach our aircraft, the fire would have been quickly extinguished and our Liberty Belle would have been repaired to continue her worthwhile mission," Fowler asserted.
Refusing to speculate as to the cause of the in-flight emergency, Fowler wrote, "There is wild speculation going on as to the cause of our fire and the affect to other operators. Please let the investigation run its course and report the findings. The NTSB and FAA were quickly on the scene and we are working closely with them to aid in the investigation."
Our hearts go out to the Liberty Foundation, as we at EAA know very well the time, money, and dedication that goes into restoring a B-17 and flying it on national tours. We're especially relieved everyone was able to get out safely.

Just because it's fall, it doesn't mean you have to give up on getting the body you want! You've gone out and bought the hot fall outfit, you've gone body waxing in Wyckoff, NJ and have even opted to change your hair color to fit the mood of the season. Now you want to work out but you don't know where to start. All you know is you want to look good, but don't know exactly how to achieve that.
For people who are new to exercising it is important that you assess your fitness goals and become really specific with what it is you are trying to achieve. The best brazilian waxing in Wyckoff, New Jersey can help boost that feeling. Being fit or healthy can have a different meaning for everyone so make sure you have your meaning down pat. Now that you are ready to work out you have to be mindful of what it is you are trying to do. I am going to give you a breakdown of the type of workouts and what they help accomplish.
Aerobics or Cardiovascular Activity- These kind of exercises which include running, walking, swimming, jogging, dancing, or a combination of either are usually aiming to make you sweat and burn calories. These kinds of rigorous activities increase your heart rate and warm your body up. Aerobics and cardio (shortened term) are good for people whose main focus is weight loss. So if you want to shed the pounds, chances are you'll have to hit the treadmill or dance floor.
Strength Training or Weight Lifting- These exercises activate your muscles, their whole purpose is to build them. Once you've developed a healthy cardio fitness plan incorporating some strength training is ideal for optimal results. Once you lose the pounds you want to tone the body and strength training helps with just that. Lifting weights, kettle bells, dumbbells, or using resistance bands are all good forms of strength training and help define the muscle.
Flexibility Training- Want to try some Yoga? Do you have a flair for Pilates? Whichever your prefer, they both help with flexibility. Over the years as our bodies become less flexible and more inactive, our ligaments and tendons tend to stiffen or shorten. Flexibility exercises help regain that flexible aspect of the body by restoring the ligaments and expanding them.
The ideal workout routine incorporates a little of all three types of exercise. Remember that it suggested that you do at least 30 minutes of moderate activity a day, whether it be walking or going up and down steps. If you really want to see results go for working out at least 3 days a week for at least 45 minutes. If you want muscle definition, focus on increasing the weight you use every week. Avoid your body from hitting a plateau (the point where you stop getting results because your body is used to the routine) by consistently mixing up your workouts and not sticking to the same machines. Take risks and have fun! Reward yourself with smooth leg waxing in Wyckoff, NJ.

9400 S State St, Sandy, UT | Directions 8407040.581806 -111.890193
The worst Mexican food I've EVER had – The website required me to give it at least 1 star. It's not worth 1 star.
I should have read the reviews. This place is without peer.
There is no excuse for food this poor. It's worse than the tastless, water table slop I ate at the cafeteria at college. One spice, chili pepper, is the only thing on the food. I've eaten Mexican food from Mexico to Europe and have never had Mexican this poorly done.
I made the mistake of asking for a good table. My party was seated in the cavern to the north of the divers, out of their view, after we passed numerous empty tables within the view of the divers. What???
Are they trying to be the worst restaurant in town? It seems so and I don't think there is a close second.
And I forgot to mention the prices for this swill. They're about double what you'll pay at a real Mexican restaurant. If you are in Sandy and you want Mexican food, do youself a favor, drive by this place and go to Raphael's just to the east--better prices, better food, and better service.
Poor Service, Poor Food – The only reason to go to the Mayan is for the dive show which is pretty cool. But because of this one draw the Mayan has totally given up on the quality of their food and service. We waited nearly 40 minutes to be seated on a Tuesday night and then were given the worst seat in the house. Finally after getting the manager we were moved to a better seat. Food took forever to arrive and the service was really poor. It took another 15 minutes after we requested our check to get it and that's after having another server track ours down. The food is overpriced for the poor qualitybad and they added a gratuity to our check so we had no option regarding what we thought our service was worth. If you want to see the divers, eat before you come and just enjoy the show with the chips and salsa.
Bad food and white mayans jumping into water ! – Food is muy malo to say the least.
I WOULD RATE IT IN THE NEGATIVES, IF I COULD! – Let me just get the "pro" list out of the way, since it's short : awesome decor, fun entertainment.
Now - HOLY CRAP, how is this place still in business?!? We waited for 10 minutes to be seated on a very slow Saturday during lunch. We were sat next to a giant table of kids, and when I politely asked if there was another table they said I would have to wait 30 minutes. We stayed put and ordered guacamole and "queso". The dish that the $10 guacamole came in (we later discovered) was MORE than half full of shredded lettuce. The "queso" was melted velveta and also about $10. I ordered the "carne asada tacos" which I swear had to be beef jerky that had been soaked in water and microwaved, and came with no toppings - for $15. One of us ordered the chicken finger basket off of the kids menu and it was also overpriced and came with soggy, frozen fries. Our bill was about $60 (because all soft drinks are also $3) and we were able to eat....the free chips. Unless you are coming for free chips and salsa and to watch the divers, DO NOT let this place rip you off! I wrote a complaint e-mail...and no one responded. If this place had even decent food they would do so well!
Paper Label Found in Food!!!!!!!! – Went to the Mayan on Tuesday, May 24th and was very unimpressed. Ten minute wait to be seated on a Tuesday evening at a restaurant with numerous open tables. I could tell very few servers were on staff. Noticed right off that their prices have increased dramatically from one year ago. This food is NOT worth $14-16 per plate. It is extremely mediocre at best. Also, $9 for a dessert that was not that large or tasty. When my wife got her chicken fajitas, she immediately noticed a quarter size paper food sticker in the food. I explained to the server Jennifer that my wife lost her appetite and would like the menu to pick a different plate. Jennifer went to speak with her manager Whitney, and as I watched the two talking I saw the manager shrug her shoulders when the server explained the situation to her. After a 5 minute wait, the server returned WITHOUT a menu and explained that the label must have got missed on their "fresh" fruit. I reminded her that we needed a menu and she brought one back in about another 3 minutes. By that time, my wife said nevermind and we ordered the mediocre $9 dessert for our son. Of course, the server forgot the spoons so we waited again to eat our food while she spent time grabbing the silverware this time. We finished and finally got our receipt an hour and half after arriving (only 3 of us attended this dinner). The server and manager offered to comp nothing. The best part is that the server told us she took off my wife's meal like it was a big favor and when looking at the receipt it listed the reason for meal discount as "Food Sensitivity". How about listing it as "Foreign Object in Food"? I eat at approximately 200 restaurants throughout the year and have complained at none of those so far. However, it seems that The Mayan can never get things right. In 3 times of dining there in the course of 2 years, I have had bad experiences. My family will not be returning to The Mayan again.
To the people of the Mayan:
You have re-worked your menu several times over the years and you just CANNOT get it right!! Please just disband everyone managing this place and all of your servers and start over! The Mayan could really be a great place because of the atmosphere but you have convinced everyone in Utah that it will never be worth going there. Once you start over, just hang a big banner outside that says "Under New Management / All New Menus". People may start coming back.
Poor Service Not Worth It! – It had been several years since I'd been to the Mayan. The prior experience wasn't anything impressive, but since my young daughter had never been and had a coupon from school to use, we decided to go for it. Maybe we just picked the most unlucky night ever, or maybe we got the typical experience. We literally waited for an hour and a half--funny thing was there were not many people there when we arrived. After being patient long enough and seeing everyone (even large parties) who had arrived after us seated, we found out they were having problems with the computerized reservation system. Instead of making an attempt to figure out who the next customer was that should be seated, they seemed to have no clue about how to go about the process without a computer. When we finally convinced them how long we had been waiting, they took us upstairs (with no apologies, of course, for the long wait) and proceeded to show us to a table about as far away from where one could see the divers as possible. There were several empty tables in the viewing area and when we asked if we could be seated at one of those so our daughter could see the show, the server said it wasn't possible because the reservation computers weren't working and someone downstairs might get mixed up. We asked to speak to someone else and got the same 100% uncaring attitude. By this time, in spite of waiting an hour and a half for what should have been at most, a 15-minute wait, we decided no customers should be treated the way we were and left. The worst customer service ever!
5 restaurants in proximity of this - GO TO THOSE! – First impression is the sticky tables and sticky floor. The silverware is never clean.
Food - This is bad Mexican food if you were expecting bad Mexican food. It really is terrible. You're paying premium prices for absolute tripe, only pro was there was a lot of the tripe.
My girlfriend and decided that the chips and salsa was the best part, that's saying a lot. The servers really don't want to be there. And the busers are loud and noisy and could care less.
The flickering lights could induce seizures.
The 5 restaurants in Jordan Commons are all better and more worth your dollars.
The Mayan continues to UN -- IMPRESS.... – DO I REALLY ONLY HAVE THE OPTION TO RATE IT """ONE"""" STAR????
Because the kids find it interesting, we go to the Mayan about once a year. We used to go on special occasions, but the Mayan has backtracked on even birthdays, giving no special treat to the birthday kid.
BEFORE I CONTINUE -- JUST LET ME TELL YOU -- I AM A VERY PATIENT consumer. As a small business owner, I understand mistakes happen, and that people can be extremely unreasonable -- but you just have to deal with it in a friendly manner. I do not take advantage of anything at restaurants. I NEVER ask for favors. I never complain to get free things. I've waited through HORRIBLE service, and sat back patiently to allow the owners to decide for themselves how they want to respond to their own shortcomings. So, for me to write this review -- it's probably the only one you'll EVER SEE FROM ME !!! (unless it's another one, about the Mayan, on another site).
Anyway -- it was about that time of the year. The Mayan signed up with RESTAURANT DOT COM several months back to provide gift certificates. We purchased them, and they had a year before expiration.
We planned to go with some friends, but I just HAD THIS FEELING, because of all the past experience I've had there, that they would not accept our gift certificates (I noticed they had stopped offering them on Restaurant dot com, too). So -- I called -- and sure enough -- the kid on the phone had no clue, and the manager said "NOPE". I had to call restaurant dot com to get a refund on the certificates.
Really, it's NO SKIN OFF MY BACK, because it's literally a sacrifice to go to the Mayan for food to begin with, because the food is SOOOO TERRIBLE, as is the service. I always joke that we should sneak in boxes of BETOS because then it would actually be a good meal.
This is one place the customer is NEVER RIGHT. Every time I've gone, it's only been worse. The teenage kids they hire are irresponsible and unfriendly. It's like they must hire them for a reality show about rude kids and the CUSTOMER IS THE NANNY!!!
The managers are unresponsive. The food SUCKS SO BAD. Everything is bland. Even the refried beans have a weird taste (so you can resort to a standard burrito and feel like you've done ok.). I seriously can't understand how this place stays in business. I've enjoyed plenty of good times and good service within this shopping center. If they are run by the same management, I just can't understand for the life of me how they can be so obnoxious.
This place accepts no accountability. It's as if they are in business to be out of business. If anybody enjoys their job at the Mayan, let it be known -- cause it sure doesn't seem like they do.
It's a very sad thing to say that going to In-N-Out makes you feel more special than going to the Mayan -- of course, In-N-Out is the best at what they do. They know how to bring in teenagers, value their work, reward them for GOOD work, and treat the customer as they should be treated. STILL -- THIS IS A SIT DOWN restaurant (the MAYAN) with a special theme. And it is BY FAR the worst dining experience, ALL ASPECTS, of any restaurant I have ever gone to -- and it is CONSISTENT!!! I have gone probably four times now, and only once was it a decent experience, likely due to the fact we had about 50 people there, and they knew they couldn't blow an opportunity.
Save yourself some trouble, folks -- go get some Mexican pickup, head out to your local public pool, and watch the kids jump off the diving board. A lot more fun, and a lot better food. You could probably even request some special dives !!!! :)
Terrible service! – My parents came to visit from GA and my mom had been wanting to go to the Mayan ever since she saw it featured in 2002 for the Winter Olympics. So tonight we went. What a mistake! They had us wait for 30 minutes on a Wednesday evening when NO ONE was there. When they did seat us they put us all the way in the front in the corner where a big tree was blocking out view of the divers (not that we could see them anyway at our angle).
I asked the host if we could be seated elsewhere and he acted like How dare I inconvenience him! I insisted, so he sent his manager to "help us out". Which was a complete waste of time. He offered to do nothing. Half the restaurant was empty, yet he said there was no where else to accommodate us. Ridiculous! Even after I told him about my parents, he wasn't even gracious. Don't even get me started on the food. It's a joke as well. Then after wards, he came back to ask us how the service was??? We all just stared at him. Get Real!
Horrible service and food – I took the family to the Mayan around this time a year ago and we had a horrible experience. I've since blogged about it several times and it never fails to get peoples' attention and I've heard too many similar stories...
Anyway, we got their early to start off the evening, with my wife and two young children. Everything was going smoothly until a server dumped a fresh glass of Sprite off of the tray and over my wife's head. She was soaked and still picking ice out of her clothing and hair as we left. Soaked and freezing she was unable to enjoy her meal (obviously) even after we asked for a towel of some sort from the kitchen to dry her off (they offered us paper napkins). The server was apologetic at first, but when she found that we weren't going to scream at her, she acted as if it was just a funny joke and laughed it off. The manager came out and she too just thought it was funny - no apology. I asked her if they would waive the charge for my wife's meal and the manager told us they don't do that. Then, to top it off, she told my wife she could jump in the lake. We left. Our night was ruined, we went back to the hotel so my wife could shower and have her clothing sent down to the laundry.
Needless to say, we've never been back and I hope that telling our experience keeps others from going there.

Jamevar Scarf 7 7
Cheap looking scarf If you want a nice scarf to wear over a blouse, top or dress, this is not the one. It's huge and the fabric is cheap. Not what I expected at all. I would not recommend you buy it unless you want a shawl which is what it looks like. December 10, 2013
Georgeous scarf ! It's differet and makes my outfits look great. Glad I got it! August 28, 2013
Lovely Scarf This reversible scarf is a nice color combination and good size and weight, not as thin as many I see. I sewed together the edge of one length to within 12-14" of the fold to make a shawl that stayed together without effort and it turned out very well. I bought it when on sale so it was a good value. July 29, 2013
Lots of Compliments I took this scarf with me on a three week trip to China in March/April. Was able to multi purpose it as a blanket on the plane, an extra layer on cool days spent site seeing and as a wrap for dinners. Best of all was that my fellow travelers had high praise for it. Versatile and beautiful, what more could a woman ask for in a scarf?!? :D May 25, 2013
Beautiful but identical to another item I was excited to receive this but was sort of surprised to find that it is identical to the Javemar Reversible Duster, #Item: 26162 ... which I already have. Both are quality items, but since I've had the duster a while, this wrap is going back in favor of another item with a different design. December 29, 2011
Really happy I bought this scarf! I kept checking out this scarf and finally bought it! Wow! This scarf will add a touch of class to any outfit. I was pleased how great it looks with all my TS Indispensable Travel Dresses. January 7, 2012
Picture does not do it justice! Colors are rich and vibrant. Both sides are equally beautiful! Get lots of compliments when I wear it! October 5, 2011

Salzburg, Austria
Salzburg sits like a baroque jewel on the banks of the river Salzach, at the northern boundary of the Alps. Shaped as much by its natural setting as by industrious human creativity, the city inspired Mozart, Strauss and Toscanini, amongst others. Intertwined with this heritage is the Hotel Sacher, built in 1866, the same year Salzburg joined the Austro-Hungarian Empire. The unchallenged social hub of the famous summer music festival, the hotel has welcomed leaders and luminaries from the Sir Karl Popper to Placido Domingo. Set on the riverbank overlooking the Baroque Old Town and the Fortress Hohensalzburg, the hotel has classically decorated rooms, featuring antiques, silk covered walls, oil paintings and crystal chandeliers. A destination in itself is the elegantly rustic Zirbelzimmer for classical Austrian cuisine.

Hello, just to clarify... North and South America are ONE continent, not two.
Take care!!
- said...
er, well actually, not.
- Alejandro said...
Thanks!! I missed that information!!
7 continents
Nice work!
- David said...
About the continents. There are several different views. In the US the 7 continent view is taught. In Latin America the 6 continent view (one American continent) is taught. In Russia and Japan, they teach a 6 continent view, where Europe and Asia are joined.

I'm surprised this article doesn't cover illegal immigrants at all- how do they deal with this patch of jungle? Many illegals immigrants to the US come from South America, so how does this factor into their journies?
- redstone said...
Are there any roads at all which links Panama to Colombia?

"Are there any roads at all which links Panama to Colombia?"
Who knows? Perhaps someone should write an article called "Darien Gap: The Most Dangerous (Absence of a) Road", the entire point of which would be to point out that there is no road (at all) between Panama and Columbia.

About continents. In Russia, there are two words for continents. There are 6 "materik"'s including Eurasia and 7 "kontinent"'s where Europe and Asia are separate.

Traveled to the Darien in 96. Very cool place. Tons of bugs and travel was slow. There isn't to much to see there except the cool bugs, people groups, and the beautiful jungle.
- Dodger said...
Helga Pendersohn a Norwegian has done the Darien Gap on a motorcycle his account can be found in his website he also has some great photos from there.

Does this mean that when at the end of Prison Break Season 3, when that guy DRIVES from Panama to a Colombian city somewhere they were making it up?!
- said...
Did you know that Scotland tried to colonise Darien in the 1690s?
The scheme failed, bankrupted Scotland and indirectly led to the act of union forming the United Kingdom.
- said...
Hi: I´m Colombian and I just wanted to clarify something, in the Darien Jungle, lo cated between Colombia and Panamá there are no activities of El Salvador troops, only Colombian army and guerrillas and I guess that the people from Panamá have to have some people there, but from El Salvador?...If they are there they are illegaly i guess.
- said...
A major contributing factor for why there is no road through this area is that the nations of North America want to prevent the spread of hoof and mouth disease, which is endemic in South America. So Darien is, in effect, a quarantine tool. Let's face it, if the US wanted there to be a road through Darien, there would be a road. But since it doesn't, there isn't.
- Carol said...
Been there.
I was born and raised in Panama. In 1976, I went via private plane into the Darien. We landed on a very scary grass strip. Our objective was to bring medical supplies to a small mission serving the indigenous Choco indians.
The Choco were thought to be headhunters. I saw shrunken heads hanging from their huts, but that doesn't mean they ate anyone. I don't really know.
Back then, the Darien dangers were the wildlife and the "headhunters." The road supposedly couldn't be cut back then because of limited technology - the jungle grew over the slow attempts to cut through before any headway could be made. I do suspect the U.S. could cut the road if they really wanted it done, like one of your Anon comments pointed out. We don't have the same presence there anymore, so it's moot now.
Great post! Thanks for the update.

It is Helge Pedersen. Helga is a female name. If you search for Helge Pedersen, you will find the information about the Norwegian motorcyclist and his journey.
- Senor Pescado said...
been to the end of the road, in 1984, no waves there, as someone said, if USA wanted a road, it would be done
hoof and mouth i agree is probably the main reason
I live in El Salvador, since 1994, dom not know whay those guys were in there?
and for me, Colombians are the finest folks in the world som quite dissing them and you can catch a ferry from Colon tro Barranquilla, or a small steamer from Balboa to Buenaventura, been there 3 times
just have a smile, be nice and try to speak some spanish the indigenous folks is another story
otherwise, a very cool post
see you at Bubba's next year on El Boqueron

I think Arthur Blessett may have tramped through there, carrying a wooden cross, a number of years ago. Not sure whether it was Darien though.
- said...
I think that the Darien gap should remain untouched. I know that it would be nice to be able to cross from one nice to the other, but the biodiversity of the area is more valuable to this planet than the economical benefits that this road will bring. Unfortunately;, last year the exiting president Alvaro Uribe, signed in his last day at the office an approval to build the road (talk about corruption and accountability). This is not something that you can just approve without extensive discussion and his legislative powers as president should not allow him to approve this kind of things. I hope that Colombians manage to fix this major mistake made by Uribe and his people.

Actually there is no standard definition for Continent. Europeans are taught that North America and South America are one continent. While Americans and Canadians are taught of 2 north and south. Scientists divide the planet by region and the UN yet a different way.
I personally sign up to the concept of one American continent. Which was the name it was originally given.

I'm grateful for this piece as well as the photography, and would like very much to speak with the author. Maybe it's my eyes, but I can't find the author's name. Could you please message me at email@example.com? I am writing from the US.
All the best

I went through the Darien in 1976. There were three of us. We met trecking in Panama City and just decided to do it. We spent the night in La Playa hitched a ride in a piragua up to a small tinned roof, generator powered village Named? spent the night there then hitched another ride in another smaller piragua which let us out in in the village of Paya (pop. about 200) where we spent the night with the Panamanian guard who had a force of 10 men (who just happened to be being visited by 2 Colombian Guard from across the border). The next morning we hiked with the Colombian guys across the border up a hill (mountain?) but couldn't keep up with them, So we spent the night on the Colombian side in the jungle near a waterfall and "just followed the trail" until we ended up at the Colombian's headquarters in some nameless backwater village. Then we hopped a ride in a boat to Turbo, spent the night in a public building where there was a dead infant in a tiny casket and its family holding vigil. Then it was on to Medellin. I went to the American Consulate there to call home to let 'em know their 19 year old son was O.K. I recall the American consulate insisting that I leave there immediately if not sooner. He filled my head with stories of how cheap life was there, he didn't want me to get killed on his watch. He was a kook.
A week later I was staying in Huaorani village for a month. I was the first gringo they had seen. They were a trip. They blew Yopo up my nose with a blow gun, I drank a bitter psychedelic brew with them that was WAY stronger than the Orange Sunshine we got back in Georgia. The the next morning went hunting with them. That is to say I watched. I swam with fresh water dolphins that I never knew existed. They were the best people I have ever known. Ever.
I am 58 now and have wondered about the people I met along that trip, if they are still there and O.K. and if they would still be so welcoming. I had an 8mm Bolex, shot 30 or so rolls of film but it was confiscated and thrown in the water by The Colombian guard on my way back to Bogota from Cuzco. No biggy.
Too bad your generation can't just do it. A real shame that. Thank Nixon, Reagan and Bush I. Then again, maybe not.

Runway Reviews: Chris Benz
BEN GABBE/PatrickMcMullan.com View Gallery
(NEW YORK) Good girls gone bad? Chris Benz tackled bad girls gone good for his Fall 2010—or rather, bad girls in the wilderness. Remembering the "bad girls in the '90s" that Benz went to high school with and their subsequent turns at National Outdoor Leadership School--forced by their parents, of course--the designer presented a collection that his signature quirky girl might wear were they forced against their will to get out in the wild. (They might not last long in those heels, bra tops, or camo-esque furs, but this is fashion, darlings.) Think bomber jackets, the sleeves crusted in multi-colored paillettes, plaid suits woven through with lurex, and neon fur mittens. The designer's J.Crew training is always evident in the classic cuts of his collections; the colors and euphoric attitude makes it worth noting. The Chris Benz girl takes on a new personality every six months—and it's definitely fun to watch.

So... As I write this I'm sitting on a train, opposite me is a well dressed kid of around 18. You know what I just saw him doing? He licked his finger and wiped some dirt off his trainers, he then licked the same finger again without so much as wiping it and used it to clean another bit of dirt off the same trainer. That could have been dog **** on his trainer. Gross-out.
A while ago I saw a well dressed Dutch woman eating a sandwich on a train. She took it out of the packet and put it directly on the train table with nothing between the bread and the dirty table. You can bet that table has never been cleaned. She picked it up, took a bite, and put it back down and repeated until the sandwich was gone. 5 or so bites. Gross-out.
A few months ago I saw a professional looking Dutch woman take a contact lens out of her eye in the middle of a busy train and put it in her mouth. Then she spat it out and put it back in her eye. Like saliva is clean enough to clense something that spends hours in close contact with her eyeball. I felt quite sick. Gross-out.
Over a year ago I was driving in Delft and stopped at a red light. I looked into my rear view mirror and what did I see? The driver behind he was picking his nose. Gross I thought. Then he ate what he just dug out of his nose. I was almost too nauseous to pull away when the light changed. Gross-out.
Last story. I keep seeing Dutches leaving the mens room without washing their hands. At my work and at schiphol airport I've seen this. Imagine all the things these dirty people are touching with their filty hands. Gross-out.
What is wrong with these people? Don't they have any concept of cleanliness? Don't they know what bacteria are? They remind me of the retarded kid at my school who used to eat stones.
I read recently (not in Dutch media even) that the temperature of the water is actually irrelevant; it's the soap and agitation that counts.
If was coming down with more colds and flus, I think I'd be p*ssed off...but I get less and they are less severe. I'm guessing the more moderate climate (for me) has a lot more to do with it.
I mean, I see a lot of stuff that bugs me, but, beyond some weird adversion to gloves when preparing food, I don't find people any less sanitary here than what I'm used to.
As my nana used to say, "You have to eat a peck of dirt before you die." Maybe a wee bit of "yuk" is necessary to build up natural immunities?

And is it really that better in other countries? http://www.reuters.com/article/2011/06/04/idUS24893+04-Jun-2011+BW20110604 http://www.telegraph.co.uk/health/healthnews/7253872/Britains-dirty-bedrooms-some-people-wash-their-sheets-three-times-a-year.html
Can't live in more than one country at a time, pepe!
See, the flaw on one side of the argument is in saying something is "typically Dutch" which isn't necessarily so from my experience. But the flaw on the other side is in saying "it's the same elsewhere" which still doesn't make it right.
I would argue, well, we shouldn't excuse something as just "human nature" or "Dutch" or "British". If anything, it's this universal apathetic attitude that conforming to others' poor standards is good enough. And it isn't.
LostKen said:
Another thing. As I got on a train today I stood by the doors because it's busy and I don't expect a seat, the door closed. I'm in a fairly spacious area in a moving train with good air flow with no-one closer than 2 meters to me. All I could smell was bad breath, and I mean advanced dental decay here, not a forgot to brush smell. It smells like death but no-one else seems to notice it. Everyone near me looks well dressed like they are on their way to work but the smell is overwhelming. I had to move. I'm not sure who that smell came from but whoever it was must have had some nasty dental pain to tell them there was a problem. Don't they have dentists here? Or are people too tight to go see them?
A major reason MANY people don't get the dental treatment they need is dental phobia, which is far more common than many realise. There is very very little offered in this country for people who have a genuine phobia or severe anxiety about the dentist, and what is offered is at a very high price.
Also from what I've seen of several Dutch dentists (been in the room while my bf had work done on 4 occasions) they would terrify the bejesus out of me even more than the ones back in the UK. They are butchers and have noooo manner with scared patients, they are snappish, lecturing, rushed, rough and intolerant. My bf has a ton of work not done because of fear.
So before you judge that person and think they're disgusting and lazy? Consider that there's a good chance they're just absolutely terrified and 100x more miserable than you are.
sps said:
An interesting point. Someone said above there are lot of people with cold and cough here . I agree. But then I also agree to CW's experience, since I moved here I get less occurances of cold every year. Could that be explained? I also have been in many countries, but the number of people I see down with cold here is noticeably higher. Is it because of overcrowding?? Then do I get less of it because I have acquired better immunity moving around the world??

Valor MSS Material Management Software from Mentor Graphics Wins a 2010 Global Technology Award
Orlando, Fla., October 26, 2010 - Mentor Graphics Corporation (NASDAQ: MENT) today announced that it has received a 2010 Global Technology Award in the category of software for the Valor® Materials Manager software product. Dan Weitzman, regional business manager, Americas, for the company's Valor Division accepted the award at the Global Technology Awards Ceremony on Tuesday, October 26, 2010 during SMTA International in Orlando, Florida.
Premiering in 2005, the Global Technology Awards program is an annual celebration of product excellence in electronics surface mount assembly. Award-winning products are chosen by a distinguished panel of industry experts.
The Valor Materials Manager application is based on actual materials usage, both consumption and attrition (i.e. dropped parts/mis-picks) from the SMT machines in the factory to generate true "lean" pull signals for replenishment materials and replacement materials needed to complete the work order ahead of a planned change-over. This is an intelligent system that makes the best decisions possible to ensure the correct material is delivered with the lowest cost of operation, to the correct machines, just in time.
User-defined options, such as FIFO, determine the method used to continuously choose the least expensive pick location or part status when creating a pick-list. In many factories, existing material management tools have limited or no visibility into actual material usage, attrition, MSD (Moisture Sensitive Device) status, RoHS status, machine production rates and schedule, downtime or floor stock. Without access to these dynamic attributes from the shop floor, ERP systems or material handling tools operate in the dark and lead to unnecessary build up of excessive inventories to compensate. The innovation in the Materials Manager software bases all material movements on real-time accurate data from the shop floor, whether delivering materials directly to a machine or managing setup on an off-line trolley.

Empowering innovative urban businesses
Since 1999, Miller Lite's Tap the Future programme formerly known as the MillerCoors Urban Entrepreneurs Series, has awarded nearly US$2 million in grants and given hundreds of aspiring urban entrepreneurs the tools to grow their businesses.
For the first time this year MillerCoors gave consumers the chance to vote for their favourite urban entrepreneur. The new Consumer's Choice Award allowed finalists to use their social networks to win a business development grant of US$10,000. The winners were Gabriel Muñoz and Raul Duran who run Hispanic Employee Recruiting Online, an innovative website bringing together diversity-friendly companies with good quality, bilingual candidates in the Midwest.
Our priorities: Enterprise development
See how we're building supply chains that reflect our own values and commitment
Eliminating unnecessary packaging in the USA
MillerCoors aims to get rid of unnecessary packaging materials and use lighter weight materials. Over the year the company eliminated over 3 million kg of packaging, equivalent to the weight of nearly 43,000 full kegs of beer.

Our priorities: Packaging
Great beer, less waste
MillerCoors reuses or recycles more than 99% of its brewery waste. This includes the protein-rich residual brewer's grain and spent yeast as well as broken glass, aluminium, plastic, wood and other materials. MillerCoors turns some of this waste into energy, compost and soil conditioner for its own use. Remaining by-products go to companies that use them for other purposes. In September 2012, for example, MillerCoors finalised plans to use waste from its Trenton Brewery to create high-protein food for farm-raised fish.
Thanks to its waste-reduction efforts and success in achieving zero waste to landfill at four of its eight major breweries, MillerCoors has been invited to participate on industry panels to help educate other organisations on becoming zero waste to landfill. These include an independent standards and definitions panel for Underwriters Laboratories and the US Zero Waste Business Council's Business Advisory Board which aims to develop a standardised third-party business certification programme to recognise and motivate policies and practices for zero waste in the USA
Our priorities: Waste
Building an understanding of watershed risk
Water is a top priority for MillerCoors in the USA because of the impact it has on production and the supply of raw materials. In November 2012, MillerCoors conducted a pilot watershed risk assessment at its Irwindale brewery to seek to protect its operations from the potential effects of water scarcity.
The assessment considers potential water-related impacts such as changes in the quantity or quality of the company's water sources and changes in regulatory requirements. The results of the assessment will enable MillerCoors to form a mitigation action plan and track the usefulness of its mitigation efforts.
MillerCoors plans to update the Irwindale Brewery watershed risk assessment every year and to use the new pilot watershed risk assessment tool and process at its Fort Worth Brewery in 2013.
Our priorities: Water
Working with farmers to protect water-stressed regions
MillerCoors and The Nature Conservancy have jointly helped to fund two farm irrigation retrofits while continuing their water conservation efforts in the Silver Creek Valley.
The programme – which achieves water savings estimated at 75% – involves converting flood-irrigated land to sprinkler systems, so boosting the productivity of the soil and cutting down on the nitrates and fertilisers entering Silver Creek.
To continue these efforts, MillerCoors has established a US$35,000 water conservation fund that allows The Nature Conservancy to match investments made by farmers interested in retrofitting irrigation systems to improve their water efficiency. The Nature Conservancy advises farmers through the stages of design, implementation and adaptive management and monitors outcomes.
MillerCoors also continues to monitor water conservation practices on its showcase barley farm in the Silver Creek Valley. Over the last two years, the farm has saved over 10 million hectolitres of water from precision irrigation techniques – enough to meet the needs of a family of four for nearly 1,850 years.
More efficient irrigation techniques reduce the need for pumped water and therefore save energy as well. By pumping less, the farm has cut its total energy use by more than half, a significant saving for a farm that historically spent US$120,000 per year on energy. Not only are these irrigation techniques good for the environment, they benefit farmers financially.
