Is the universe finite or infinte.
The two scenarios in the debate:
The universe is infinte because numbers are infinite, and something that is finite cannot contain something that is infinite.
E.G a chocolate bar cannot contain infinite cocoa.
The universe is finite, it as a beginning and end, and there is no such thing as infinite numbers because the biggest number would be the amount of the smallest quanta contained in the universe.
E.G the amount of the smallest particle in the universe = the biggest number
These two are currently merged and I believe in modern day science they contradict each other.
Feel free to add more points to the discussion
Aug 2 2011: Ah but what dimension are we looking at? Space or time? That is the question in the question

Aug 2 2011: As long as the universe is fully material....then matter is finite...because an infinite thing cannot be divided...while matter can..just think of matter..then make it two...and then make those two 4...so the universe is finite...also the universe expands and anything that expands is finite..numbers are also finite....think of the highest number anyone has ever thought of...then add one to it...anything which more can be added to is not infinite. Matter is finite.. The Universe is matter.

Aug 2 2011: Very good points here, I believe so as well, but the real thing is, if you conitnued to add 1 to that biggest number and someone continued it for u when u died, it would go on for infinity, so the it gets confusing because you might think that the universe is then infinite cuz of the chocolate bar example I gave, something finite cannot contain something infinite. Hard to think of haha
Aug 18 2011: An infinite number is an human construct, it exists in oir mind. So we can conceptuallise somerhing that does not neccesarily exists.On the other hand certain quantum equations show infinity. For instance the singularity as in black holes.And m-theory shows an infinite number of universes.
also matter and energy are interchangable, divert all matter into energy and how do you propose to devide a wave function? you could go at it indefinently, infinitely.

http://sci.tech-archive.net/Archive/sci.physics.relativity/2007-10/msg00797.htmlAug 2 2011: You make a logic mistake when you assume that something that is infinite not can be divided. Think of the numbers 1, 2, 3, etc. Even if we continued counting as Luciano proposes, we would never in any amount of time however long run out of numbers (we may have to invent not yet existing names as the numbers get bigger and bigger though). There are infinitely many numbers, but still 7 is a single number. The infinite can thus be divided.
Also, the expansion you reffer to is the fact that the distance between galaxies does expand, and the visible part of the universe expands. Once again imagine an infinite line of number, an infinite measuring rod that has the numbers 1, 2, 3, etc. written an inch apart. Now if you come back a week later and see that each number is spaced two inches apart you would conclude that the measuring rod is indeed expanding, yet it is infinite. It's therefore not a contradiction that the universe would be infinite, but still expanding.
Aug 2 2011: Good explanation, it would be like the scale expanding, but not actually expanding, so like lets say 1 2 and 3 are each a meter apart, and by expanding the actual defining length of a meter, you are stretching the numbers apart, expanding them, but they are still each a meter apart,. The only thing that changed was the defining length of a meter. This reminds me of the thought that there is no way to tell if everyone perceives time the same. For example I may experience 3 seconds as you would experience 1 second, but to the both of us it would still be defined as 1 second.Aug 2 2011: if something couldnt be destroryed, could it be infinite?
Aug 2 2011: Interesting thought, but seeing as energy cannot be destroyed nor created, it means energy would be infinite, which brings us back to square 1. Is there infinite energy in the universe?
Aug 2 2011: energy is infinite and is in the universe. so yes, there is.
Aug 2 2011: I feel like using this as the conclusion, but I am not 100% certain that because something cannot be destroyed it's infinite. Energy can't be created or destroyed but does not nescessarily mean it's infinite, like if there is 2J of potential energy in something - It can't be created or destroyed but it's still 2 Joules... not infinite Joules. Besides all of the above, Energy is just a concept we use to understand many physical concepts, it doesn't actually exist, just like numbers.Aug 2 2011: Then what actually exists, Luciano? Seems that perhaps you are getting at an entirely different topic with that statement.
Besides, energy cannot be created or destroyed by OUR species.Aug 2 2011: energy does exsist, you can even see it. i dont think it points to a difinitive answere, but how could something infinite exisit in something finite? if all matter is energy and energy is not created or destroyed and the universe thus far, as we know it, is made up of nothing but matter than what? BUT time, time IS finite, and a expanding universe is acctually slowing the concept of time, and one day, it will reach a point so slow it will be hard to say its moving at all.
if u ask me, numbers are the construct, not energy.,
Aug 3 2011: interesting...Aug 3 2011: i could use a lot more research about this though.... i probably do not know much.
James Turner
Aug 2 2011: Maybe the universe is infinite in it's finiteness. Ends with no final ending and beginnings with no ultimate start.
- +1
Does this make any sense?? Maybe with each thought we create the universe. Maybe as a character from Terry Prachett's Disc World says the universe is destroyed and created every instant but it is so quick we cannot perceive it. I think if was one of his Unseen University students like Rincewind.
Luke Ginter
Jul 31 2011: That doesn't make sense, if the universe ended but was still expanding then it would still existAug 26 2011: I think, Space can never be finite , what is built in this space creates what we call as finite. To build something we need a baseAug 21 2011: Jeroen:

I. certainly did not mean to imply that the Universe might not go on forever in the future, just that it definitely could not have already existed forever back in time.
2. If the energy density in the Universe approaches zero asymptotically over time, as you suggest, then in an infinite amount of time it would have reached zero, or more technically - infinitesimally small. That definitely is NOT the Universe we observe, hence it could not have existed for an infinite amount of time.
3. It is difficult to say anything about any Universe, or part of the Universe, that cannot be observed. So, I can only say that THIS Universe that we live in and we observe is finite in time and space,
DickAug 20 2011: The Universe must be finite in time and size. The 2nd Law of Thermodynamics (Law of Entropy) demands that energy is always dissipated in every process. If the Universe had been here infinite time, all energy would be dissipated and there would be no useful energy. There would be no atoms, no elements, no nothing.
The Universe is expanding. If it had been expanding for infinite time, regardless of the expansion rate, the density of matter in the universe would now be zero. It is not, therefore the universe has not been here for an infinite time. Likewise, if the universe were infinite in size, all of the matter generated in the big bang would now all be dissipated throughout an infinite space, and the density would be zero. This does not describe the universe we live in. The density of matter is not zero, and there is useful energetic processes going on. The universe is finite.
Aug 21 2011: Even infinity has to start at zero, the universe is 13.7 billion tests old. It could go on indefinently. That somerhing has à starting point dorsn't mean it isn't infinite.
Yes energy dissipates, but it is not destroyed, that would violate the first law of thermodynamics. even if an infinite space would hold a finite amount of energy, the system would never reach zero, just asymptotically aproach zero. even an infinite space would not be an absolute vacuüm if it contained one photon.
We can only say somerhing about the amount of matter in the observable universe, we don't know what is beyond that, it might even be infinity.Aug 19 2011: I've tried, but no matter what I do I can't even imagine the universe as finite. How do you do that?
The only descriptions of finite universes that I know of are bubble universes. These presumptions are based on the flawed perception that bubble universes are finite. Incorrect. The empty void around the bubble universe that the bubble is expanding into is a part of the universe as well.
How could existence be finite? The only real explanation I've heard so far is "positively curved circle" theory... but even that makes little sense to me. Why is the universe suddenly finite when it is a positively curved circle? Doesn't the empty (possibly not empty) void around it constitute "universe?"
If anyone can explain exactly HOW all of existence can be contained by... itself (because an "outside" would constitute more universe)... I'd like to hear it.Aug 18 2011: Cosmologists are hung on the idea if this single universe is finite or infinite.
See the BBC horizon documentary "to infinity and beyond" on YouTube .
Deen it? Now i have à question.
If THE universe is infinite and an infinite number of things happen in it, then the universe can not be infinite.
One of the possibilities would be conditions happenig to allouw the universe to end, wouldn't it?
Also it's not clear if the possibilities would have to adhere to the fundamental laws of physics within this universe. So for instance can the DBZ saga be playing out somwhere?
These two considderations are not clear to me.
Any thoughts?
Aug 19 2011: I think that even with the universe being inifinite, only things within the laws of physics could happen. What we would see however are things that seem impossible while not violating the laws of physics. While it is statistically near impossible for evolution to take place on another planet so as to come up with a species identical to human beings, in an infinite universe, this not only can happen, it WILL happen.
I don't remember this particular BBC show advancing the idea of a universe as more than a thought experiment. But it's been a while since I have seen it. My understanding is that the Big Bang implies a finite universe at least in some dimension of space.
Aug 19 2011: I think they mean infinite in space and time. if it is infinite in this way then it wouldn't surprise me that somewhere a civilisation already has thrived and died with the exacat same genome as us. what bends my mind is that is has to happen an infinite number of times.
somewhere someone with the same DNA is typing the same thoughts real time as me.
on the other hand. does infinity in this respect mean that everything neccesarily must hapen? it is a game of probability some impossible thing might happen a thousand times, others maby never ( it is a logical implidcation of infinity, paradoxical, but logic non the less)
and if i understood correct, it isn't a thought experiment. there is a distinction between the visible universe and beyond.
because of expantion light beyond the distance of the age of the universe can never reach us. so cosmologists have no idea what is beyond visible space. hence the question if it is finite or infinite.
i do understan that if it is the concept of infinity within the bounds of physics then it isn't truely infinite either anything we can dream of must happen or it is just every possible combination, a large number, but certainly not infinite.Aug 7 2011: Taking this question less seriously, I would like to propose the following:
The Universe is not a thing, therefore, neither infinite or finite. I say that the Universe is in us, in consciousness and we are in the Universe. Looking at the word, Universe, breaking it down gives us "one-song," perhaps that may mean that any song played or sung out of harmony can have no life in it, as such. Therefore this might imply that Truth and Intelligence etc.,(both life giving) are both at the same time, our mental environment internally and environmentally.
Einstein may have called it the "grid," I think.
As long as we think of the Universe as being out there, requiring a telescope, we remain stuck in ignorance.Aug 5 2011: I'm not really seeing the logic point you're trying to make by saying a universe in which the natural numbers exist can't be finite. Consider this:
The universe doesn't contain an instance of every natural number. It can merely contain the natural numbers as a concept in the same way an ideal Turing Machine can theoretically enumerate every single natural number with only a finite amount of internal states (finite intelligence, infinite conceptual numbers)
Another way of putting this: just because we can think of infinite numbers doesn't mean there's infinitely many *things* in the universe.Aug 2 2011: It's infinite.
It was here LONG before us, it will be here LONG after us. Therefore what we have to say about its relative "finiteness" or "infiniteness" means very little in the Existence equation.
Our species is not the center of All, much as it bruises our ample egos. Ask the atoms (or dark matter). They know better than anything whether they are finite or constantly expanding at an ever increasing rate into infinity.Aug 2 2011: No one knows. The theory that best explains universe at the moment is general relativity, and it allows for several different scenarios. The universe can be infinite, or it can be bent so much that if you go far enough in one direction you will get back to the same point you started from. In the second case the universe as a whole is very much like the surface of the earth, follow a stright line and you will eventually come back to where you started from.
Aug 2 2011: does it matter?
- 0
Aug 2 2011: Eduard, the same question has been asked about many things in history like "is the earth flat? - Does it matter?" and clearly it does. Well same with this scenario; in the future, it will matter A LOT if the universe is infinite or not, for example let's say a few thousand years from now or even sooner, some company decides they want to travel to the end of the universe. This would not be possible if it was infinite, and another thing is, imagine if we had fully understood wormholes and wanted to warp space-time and travel to another location, if the universe was infinite this would not be possible because every x, y, and z location in the universe would be ∞ (infinite) because it would stretch infinite metres (or whatever unit) in every direction which means we would have to use normal methods of travel which, on the scale of the universe, is very slow.
Aug 3 2011: Hmm ...... perhaps in the future will exist a reason for seeking to see if the universe is infinite or not , everything's possible, but now what matter in my opinion is: US, we now and here in our usual life .........anyway ........

Modern science seems to think that the universe is expanding; largely due to red-shifted light. If it is expanding then it cannot be infinite. It's going to be bigger tomorrow.
If it's not expanding then it may well be infinite.
Aug 18 2011: Expantion means there is more room between two existing objects. Space grows apart without adding to it. The wavefront of the big bang is still perpetuating.The universe grows & expandsJul 30 2011: The universe is finite but it's infinitely expanding.like an ever growing balloon

In her versatile body of work, New York based artist Jaime Roth plays with spatial relations by intersecting soft atmospheric abstractions with hard-edged architectural forms. Using the Everglades as her central inspiration, Roth's artwork uncannily evokes the horizon line disappearing into the distance—water and sky fusing into one. Calling to mind the primordial landscape from which all life is formed, this digital print nobly investigates the relationship between nature and the abstract.

The Royal Opera House: The Sleeping Beauty
The Sleeping Beauty is the pinnacle of classical ballet: a perfect marriage of Petipa's choreography, Tchaikovsky's music and a glorious challenge for every dancer onstage. It is also The Royal Ballet's signature work. Today's Sleeping Beauty features additional choreography by Anthony Dowell, Christopher Wheeldon and Frederick Ashton, and stars Lauren Cuthbertson & Sergei Polunin. Mark Monahan of The Telegraph raves: "A one-stop history of the art form up to that point, it remains the apotheosis of regal Russian classicism and a thematic tapestry of unrivalled richness, all playing out to Tchaikovsky's most opulent and ingeniously constructed score."
Cast: Lauren Cuthbertson, Sergei Polunin

Place some bets!
Place some bets!
That's way too big a line for this game. Never thought I'd say that for a UF-Vandy game.
And now his fires have gone out.
Vandy beats the spread.
This one was a no brainer.
UF was just about to match the spread and then horribly botched a statue of liberty play on a 2 pt. try. Would have been a close one right down to Vandy's last TD. This one netted me some extra winnings to throw down on Bama.
And lose.

- people in the U.S. have this name View Russell Roan on Whitepages
Meaning & Origins
Transferred use of the common surname, originally from the Old French nickname Rousel 'little red one' (a diminutive of rous 'red', from Latin russus). Use as a given name may have been inspired by the philosopher Bertrand Russell (1872–1970), who was noted for his liberal agnostic views and his passionate championship of causes such as pacifism (in the First World War), free love, and nuclear disarmament. He was the grandson of the Victorian statesman Lord John Russell (1792–1878).

Irish: variant spelling of Rowan.

MACON, Ga. (March 23, 2011)

Test ID: F_11
Coagulation Factor XI Activity Assay, Plasma
Specimen Type Describes the specimen type needed for testing
Plasma Na Cit
Specimen Required Defines the optimal specimen. This field describes the type of specimen required to perform the test and the preferred volume to complete testing. The volume allows automated processing, fastest throughput and, when indicated, repeat or reflex testing.
See Coagulation Studies in Special Instructions.
Specimen Type: Platelet-poor plasma
Collection Container/Tube: Light-blue top (citrate)
Submission Container/Tube: Plastic vial
Specimen Volume: 1 mL
Collection Instructions:
1. Spin down, remove plasma, and spin plasma again.
2. Freeze specimen immediately at < or =-40 degrees C, if possible.
Additional Information:
1. Double-centrifuged specimen is critical for accurate results as platelet contamination may cause spurious results.
2. Patient must not be receiving Coumadin or heparin therapy.
3. Each coagulation assay requested should have its own vial.
4. If priority specimen, mark request form, give reason, and request a call-back.
5. Coagulation testing is highly complex, often requiring the performance of multiple assays and correlation with clinical information. For that reason we suggest ordering Coagulation Consultations.
Specimen Minimum Volume Defines the amount of specimen required to perform an assay once, including instrument and container dead space. Submitting the minimum specimen volume makes it impossible to repeat the test or perform confirmatory or perform reflex testing. In some situations, a minimum specimen volume may result in a QNS (quantity not sufficient) result, requiring a second specimen to be collected.

We've been shipping natural products internationally since 1996 and have hundreds of thousands of satisfied, repeat customers all over the world.
iHerb ships to more than 150 different countries. To see all countries, available shipping methods and costs, simply add products to the shopping cart, choose your destination via the drop-down menu and click calculate.
Important Information for First-time International Customers:
Import taxes:
You may have to pay import taxes and/or customs duties. You may also be required to pay a brokerage (handling) fee for the shipment. These charges are separate from your shipping charge and you will be billed directly for them.
Declaration of Value and Product Description:
As a "green" company, we email your invoice for the majority of shipping methods offered by iHerb.com.
An invoice is required to be included with your order for two shipping methods: UPS and DHL International. The invoice will indicate the name of each product you ordered, the quantity of each item, and the cost.
Your shipping address, phone number and email address:
Please make sure your shipping address, phone number and email are full and complete. The phone number or email may be used by the shipping company to contact you in case they have problems delivering your order.
Customs information: iHerb will not be liable for packages refused or held by customs for delivery
We request that you contact your customs office and ask about import regulations and restrictions before placing your order. It is important for you to become familiar with Customs policies for your specific country before ordering. Customs regulations differ by country and not knowing their regulations can result in your order incurring high import duties, the delivery being delayed or even returned. Please check with your Customs office to see if your country permits the shipment of the products you are planning to order from us and if any additional licenses or permits are needed.
Please Note: If your order is returned to us due to a banned/restricted products policy, a wrong address, refusal to pay customs fees, refusal to accept the order or because no one was there to accept delivery of your order, we will refund your credit card as follows: You will be refunded the total amount of the order, minus the shipping charge, and 20% of the value of the order, (as a re-stocking fee). We will also subtract any other outside charges iHerb.com has incurred during shipping, such as warehousing fees, return postage fees, etc.
If the cost to return the product to us is larger than the cost of the refund due, we will instruct the carrier to abandon the order and there will be no credit for the order. If the product(s) is seized by customs, there will be no credit processed for the product(s).
Refunds are not available if you choose International Airmail as a shipping method and your order is lost. Also, refunds will not be issued until the returned packages are physically in our warehouse.
As a general rule:

Credit card verification for first-time customers:
For your protection and ours, it is important to make sure credit cards are being used by their proper owners. So, it is possible that customers ordering for the first time from iHerb.com may need to provide us with additional information to verify that you are the account holder. If that is necessary, we will let you know via email with a message from our verification team. (firstname.lastname@example.com)
Why do we take these steps? Unlike credit card purchases made by US customers, international orders cannot be verified electronically or by telephone. The extra step of gathering this information is necessary for your protection and ours, to ensure that you are the actual credit card holder.
For further shipping information regarding your country, please add a product to the shopping cart, choose your country from the pull-down menu. If there are issues we are aware of, we will let you know there.

NELLIS AIR FORCE BASE, Nev. — When you hear the term "phishing" you can't help but think of a boat, bait and a fishing pole. However, in this case, phishing is a scam of evil intentions.
If you're looking to avoid becoming a victim, all you have to do is keep an eye out for activities that don't look right.
According to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the term "phishing" — as in fishing for confidential information — refers to a scam that includes fraudulently obtaining an individual's personal or financial information.
"Phishing is the act of attempting to acquire personal information by masquerading as a trustworthy entity in an electronic communication, usually in an email," said Senior Airman Daniel Shipley, 99th Air Base Wing information assurance office. "The information can include usernames, passwords and credit details."
There are two different types of phishing. The first is regular phishing where an email is received from various sources posing as an authorized domain. Sometimes a victim will see an email from "banks" asking you to verify your information on a "site" that looks a lot like a regular banking site. Any information entered is stored on a server owned by the phisher.
"There is also spear-phishing, which includes attacks that are usually targeted at specific people and often are looking for information about or from that person," Shipley said. "It is closely related to regular phishing but has a much smaller focus on targets."
The result for a phishing victim can be staggering to an individual. A phisher can access your credit card or banking information to run up your debt or drain your bank account.
Fortunately, Airmen can defend against spear-phishing attacks by double checking anything that seems out of the ordinary.
"If you think that an email is a phishing attempt, the best practice is to contact the organization you think is behind the email and check [its] validity," Shipley said. "Do not forward the email or print it, delete the email, go into the deleted items, locate the email, right click, go to the junk e-mail menu and click 'add sender' to blocked senders list."
Also notify your unit information assurance officer you receive a suspicious phishing email at work.
If the unit IAO wants to check the email, they can access the user's computer and view it on their system. If it is a sufficient threat to the integrity of the user's information or any government owned information system, call the 99th Air Base Wing Information Assurance Office at (702) 652-5011.

Here are some tips for creating a fuzzy illuminated scarf with color-changing LEDs, with a relatively simple process that is suitable for someone with limited sewing or soldering experience.
The lens of each of these RGB LEDs contains its own red, green, and blue emitters, and a built-in processor to make it blink or fade between colors, so you can achieve a fairly sophisticated effect with a simple circuit, and no external driver. The flexible connecting wires are concealed by a fabric lining, so the finished product is very comfortable and easy to wear. The lights create a nice diffused glow in the fur - wear it as a conversation piece, fashion statement, or safety accessory.
The number of lights in the design can be scaled up or down, with no need for a current-limiting resistor, although battery life will decrease as you increase the number of lights (unless you upgrade to a larger 4.5V supply).
Step 1: List of materials
piece of faux fur for scarf (60" x 9" for the example shown)
fabric for lining (60"x9", or can be more of the same fur)
extra fabric for battery pocket
strip of velcro, approx 3" long
sewing needle
razor blade (to cut fur, optional)
sewing machine (optional)
buttons (standard 2-hole sewing type, approx 1/2" diameter - not rubber, not metal. most plastic buttons are reasonably heat resistant. available at craft stores, or by the pound at buttons4u.com)
Electronic materials and tools:
color-changing RGB LEDs (the type with a built-in flashing or fading circuit, with two external leads - a fast blinking version is available at allelectronics.com, slower fading versions are available on eBay)
battery holder for 3 AA cells, batteries
on/off switch (optional) SPST pushbutton (non-momentary)
insulated connector wire (stranded wire in the range of 20-24 GA - can be obtained by separating pieces from standard ribbon cable)
soldering iron
wire cutters
wire strippers
helping hand stand with spring-loaded clips
Other stuff you'll need:
soft surface for pressing LEDs into buttons while bending leads (electrostatic work mat or yoga mat)
hot glue gun and glue sticks
pen or marker
Thank you so much for showing exactly how you wired the LEDs. So many people just put up the schematic and leave you to your own devices, which, in reality, isn't all that helpful.
And what an awesome scarf! Can't wait to make some franken-version of this. :)

Pronounced dead on the scene, taken to Calvert Memorial Hospital
The Calvert County Sheriff's Office is investigating a Tuesday morning accident in which a man was killed after the vehicle he was driving collided with a Mack truck in Huntingtown.
At about 3 a.m. Sept. 10, members of the sheriff's office responded to a report of a car accident at Solomons Island Road and Northwest Drive, according to a sheriff's office press release.
Police determined a 2003 Ford F150 pick-up truck, driven by Nicholas Paul Stup Sr., 34, of Huntingtown, was traveling south through a construction zone, which consisted of cones dividing the left and right lanes on Route 2/4, approaching Northwest Drive.
The Ford hit a 1995 Mack dump truck, driven by Rex Eugene Jones, 52, of Huntingtown, as the Mack truck was reducing speed to merge into the left lane where the construction was to take place. The Ford came to a stop shortly after, the press release states.
Stup was pronounced dead on the scene by EMS personnel and taken to Calvert Memorial Hospital, where he was examined by a forensic investigator, police said.
The investigation is ongoing and is being conducted by Dfc. J. Hardesty of the sheriff's office Accident Reconstruction Team.

If people were to look at the last names, they wouldn't be able to tell these two Air Force members were father and son, but for the last 18 years they have been inseparable, even on a deployment.
MSgt. Gregory McElvaney, assigned to Regional Command East Joint Theater Trauma Center, is the stepfather to A1C Tyler Mills, assigned to the 455th Expeditionary Security Force Squadron at Bagram Airfield, Afghanistan.
Mills moved in with McElvaney when he was 3-years-old, after McElvaney married his mother Jackie, during that time, McElvaney was already a member of the Air Force and so was his biological father and mother.
"Tyler has always been close to his real dad, who is still a friend of our family but he also has a very close relationship with Greg," said Jackie McElvaney. "Greg coached his Tyler's baseball and soccer teams when he was little."
When Mills was 14 years old, he told his parents he wanted to join the Air Force.
"Tyler has known the military his whole life and has witnessed the long duty hours and deployments but I never tried to sway his opinion of joining," said Greg, deployed from Luke Air Force Base, Ariz. "This is my fifth deployment, so I tried to educate him on the things he needed to do prior to leaving for his deployment to make it a little easier."
They found out two weeks apart they would be deploying to the same base. However their deployment experiences are different; this will be McElvaney's last and Mills' first. McElvaney has been in twenty years now and plans on retiring after this deployment.
Mills, who has only been in a year and a half, said being deployed with his father on his first deployment has helped tremendously.
"If I have issues with home or work, I can just go across the base to talk to my dad about issues instead of waiting for a signal online to talk to him," said Mills, deployed from Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio. My leadership coordinated it, so I get Father's Day off so I can share it with him."
The two still use Facebook to get a hold of each other to hang out on their time off. However because they work opposite shifts, they only get to share one day a week together.
"He is a cop and I am a medic," said McElvaney. " In the civilian world the two work hand-in-hand, but here he works nights and I work days. He gets days off, I only get hours. So I try to save my hours for his days off. When we can hang out together we play pool, watch a movie or eat dinner."
Jackie said she was happy when she found out that they would both be assigned here together.
"Just knowing that he is near his dad makes me rest a little easier," she said. "When they met up on their way there, I was told some of Tyler's buddies were teasing him and one even said, 'Dude, did you have to bring your dad on your first deployment?' It was hilarious. I was thinking, 'Who gets an opportunity like that?'"

Running from 14th Street to 34th Street on Manhattan's westside, Chelsea is the center of both Manhattan's gay community and, with over 350 art galleries, its contemporary art scene. It's also home to an eclectic mix of home antique stores, design boutiques, and endless sample sales (including the famous Barney's Warehouse Sale), not to mention the Chelsea Market, a former Oreo cookie factory turned foodie paradise chockablock with bakeries, restaurants, and gourmet goodies.
Great restaurants, bars, shops, and cultural activities -- including the contemporary galleries concentrated in the West Chelsea Arts District (18th to 28th streets between 10th and 11th Avenues) -- share space throughout the neighborhood, though most hotels hover closer to the subway stations on 7th and 8th Avenues. Largely, Chelsea's hotels are great values -- at least when compared to similar hotels father downtown, such as those in SoHo or TriBeCa. Top picks include the Holiday Inn Express, the infamous Hotel Chelsea, and the swankier Maritime, which is also near the clubs in the West Village's Meatpacking District. However, it's worth noting that while the gray, built-up blocks near 30th Street are convenient to many of the city's tourist attractions -- the Empire State Building, Madison Square Garden, and the Penn Station transportation hub are within walking distance -- they're far from pretty.

The Community of Disc Golfers and About All Things Disc Golf
I guess that the first part of the story should come from me.
This was taken from the Obituary for my father.
Victor Eugene Smith, Sr.
Victor Eugene Smith Sr., 10 Oct 1948 to 07 Jul 2010, of Deltona, FL passed away at Florida Hospital - East Orlando.
Victor E. Smith Sr. was born in Portsmouth, OH to Charles and Martha Smith. He passed from this life surrounded by his wife, two sons and daughter in-law on the 7th of July 2010. He was carried off to heaven by his parents, and siblings of Charlie and John. He proudly served in the United States Air Force and was discharged at the rank of SSGT. He retired and chose to live in Deltona Florida where he raised his children. He spent most of time with his immediate family and fishing the many waters of Florida.
Victor is survived by his wife, Juanita; Sons Victor Jr, Edward, and Robert; Grandchildren Tiffany, Victor III, Kenneth, Rebekkah, and Abigail; Siblings Charlene, Judy, Eva, Rex, Glena, and Jimmy.
The Viewing (11:00 AM) and Memorial Services (12:00 PM) will be held at the Faith Baptist Church, 1200 Providence Blvd, Deltona on the 19th of July 2010. He will then be cremated and have his ashes interred at Florida National Cemetery in Bushnell, 6502 SW 102nd Ave, 33512 on the 21st of July 2010 at 1 PM with full Military Honors.
This Son, Brother, Husband, Father, Grandfather, Veteran and Friend is Loved and will not be forgotten.

Story will continue.
Yes, the above is the legal aspect of my father's end, But I have other memories that I will express as time goes by.
This ends the end.
Like Star Wars, I will release the prequals later.
But thanks to the Brotherhood, the story lives on after death.
The Brotherhood will tell their stories, post their pics, and meld everything together into something special.
That something special will be the many states, courses and people of this great land joining together as one.
Players showing unity, fellowship, and kindness through the sport of...................
Disc Golf.
The fog lifts from my dim memories. As it clears, I am but a very young lad. My Father, Mother and I were at what I believe was a damn up north some where. We were fishing. The water was rushing down the river. My Dad slips on the rocks and falls in. My mother screams and chases him as he bobs up and down along with the current of the river. It was a funny sight. Later he and my mother walk up, he looked like a drowned rat. I then was told, that my dad could not swim. It was no longer funny. The fog rises and the memory fades.
Later on as a young teen, my family again was fishing. This time it was here in Florida. I was with my friend at the time, and we were playing right below the pier (it was low tide). I being young, stupid and bored wanted to show off to my friend. I said watch this. I started waving my hands in the air and screaming "Help, I can't swim". Out of everyone there, my father was the only one to run to my rescue. Of course, he found out that I was not drowning, and the look on his face hurt me more then a beating would ever have. It was no longer funny. The fog returns.
At my Father's viewing, I tried to tell this story as his family, friends and what nots sat listening. Tears well up from inside me and comes out like a broken damn. My moral to my story........
My Father was far from perfect. But he did his best. And looking back at my story. When I as in need or in danger of drowning (even though it was a piss poor prank), he was the only one to run to my rescue, and looking back today, I realized that he was the only one who did not know how to swim. He was willing to risk his life to save mine. He was willing to face his fears for me.
So no matter how many faults, or problems my Dad may have had, He was my savior, he was my Father.
While growing up, I came to realize that my Father was like the black sheep of the Family.
The other "Smith"s were from Ohio and Kentucky (if memory serves me right), and we moved to Florida.
My father was different then the rest of the "Smith" children (Nine Total).
My father suffered from a mental illness that was brought on while he served his time in the Air Force.
With this illness, life was interesting to say the least.
The Fog lifts from my memories..................
Once again, I was a very young lad. My grandfather had died, and my father was extremely angery because he wanted the best doctors for his dad and he felt that the rest of the family gave up and let him die. The death hit my father deeply. At the Viewing, my father was dressed in his "Dress Uniform" from the Air Force. Most thought that it was strange cause my father was no longer serving in the Military. I could remember the whispers of my father's other siblings.
Later on at the grave yard, everyone gathered around my grandfather's grave as they gave their last words. The service ended and it started to rain. Everyone ran for their cars to protect themselves from the weather. Looking through a foggy rain covered car window, I saw my father standing in the rain. He refused to leave like everyone else did. In his Dress Uniform drenched with rain (Anybody who knows the AirForce, they have some heavy thick ass dress uniforms), he stood at his father's feet as they lowered him down. My dad bends down, grabs a hand full of dirt and tosses it upon his father's feet, wipes the remaining dirt from his hand, and salutes one last time.
At my father's service, I did not wear my Naval Uniform. I had rid them a year or so after my Discharge. Besides, I couldn't wear them anymore (gain some inches around the waist). But I told the people who gathered to pay their respects to my father, that I saw my father salute his and it was a great honor to do the same for him. I stepped down, faced my father and saluted him. With or without a uniform, I was the third generation to serve. I, just like my father, and his father before him will pass away. And when that time comes, I hope that someone will care enough for me to salute my passage from this life.
may day is lei day in hawaii , thats when they drape king kamehameha statue with leis .
and i don't know how RC and fatty got their pictures into this file ( fatty is the black dog ).
My story will be a few short chapters . But let me begin by thanking Daddy Dragon for creating this event , this is something special that will grow our beloved sport , and I was very blessed to represent our 50th state .
Dads time on the big island started with him showing up at my shop . I didn't expect him to show up at work . He came to the right address , i just thought that i gave Victor my PO box and was expecting dad to show up there . So dad came in carried by our happy local postal carrier . when i saw Donny's address on the envelope I told everyone at work "he's Here !" I showed him off to the other workers at my work , and explained to them the story of the brotherhood of the traveling disc .
Most of my friends where pretty stoked for me when they heard the story . you see in hawaii , we are pretty much cut off from going to events , but when one like this event shows up on your door step , lets just say you feel pretty special . Kind of like going on tour with Daddy Disc !
Dads timeing was perfect , he showed up on a friday so he was able to get a rest day before going to work on sunday . that is the day we play MacKenzie here in puna .
MacKenzie is a state park cared for by the DLNR . ( department of land and natural resource ) As you can see in the pictures it is a beautiful coastal park on about 15 acres .
For the story of that round and more you will have to tune in to the next chapter . because i am a slow type writer , and a slower speller , and it is time for me to get my butt to work . so until next time .......ALOHA !
The first sunday at MacKenzie
MacKenzie is about 22 miles from my house , and i usually show up a couple hours early to set up my clank targets . the puna disc golfers here really love to clank my targets . After all they have been hitting trees for 20 years here .
So i walked most of the course that morning with my hamer , golf cart full of shafts , and a bag of clank tops . Settin up 1 thru 15 , and 18 . We usually move 14 pin to 17 , and 16 we still play the tree . ( I'm not walking down that valley unless i am throwing plastic . ) So with the course set up I sit down to breakfast , and have some small talk with some local campers that i have known for some time now , telling them about dad's travels , and the brotherhood . telling them how he got to hawaii and where he was going next .
the players start showing up at 9:00 , and we have our morning meeting . i tell them that we have an extra discer today and pull dad out of my bag . then I have to tell them the hole story over again . ( even though i have been telling them for weeks that dad was coming to the big island .)
So we start playing around 9:30 , I parked my first drive and bird the first hole . I drive # 2 and set it down about 20 feet from the pin and think O K daddy-o get me another bird . nice and smooth up hill putt on line.....to...just miss , two inches higher and dad would of had his first bird on the big island .
# 3 is a dog leg left , i park my drive about a foot from where the old pin used to be placed . But now it is 75 feet higher up the hill with one window . I pull dad out again , thinking ( just get me to the green dad.) I fire dad up into the window....and...dad... rolls over...ouch !
As i boogey # 3 i think dad must be afraid of the water or maybe he just wants to caddy for me today , after all it is his first time flying in hawaii . So for the rest of the day dad and I just walked and talked for the rest of the round .
That is the way it was dads first round in hawaii , i played three more times with dad while he was here . So tune in next chapter to find out what happens , until then ......ALOHA !
Dads day at Wailoa , Hilo bay has a wonderful community park , it once was a big part of old hilo town until a tsunami took out half of the town . Instead of rebuilding that part of hilo they made the park , it has community centers , the tsunami museum and memorial , and the hawaii county vietnam memorial . ( dad liked hanging out there .) And it has a giant king Kamehameha statue .
Wailoa park sits on about 40 acres with the wailoa river running thru it . We use about 20 acres for the disc golf course . Wailoa could be a world class disc golf course if it only had T-pads and baskets .( Being so spread out I don't put up my clanks for fear of theft . ) it has water hazards on 1-4 , 9-11, and 17,18 and boosts an island hole on #2 . We play there on tuesdays at 4:00 pm
So i showed up early to show dad around , and get some pictures of him with king Kamehameha , the vietnam memorial , and in that giant banyan tree . We use the arched bridges to cross over the river while playing DG.
Because of previously mentioned water hazards dad did not get a lot of flying time , ( I thought it would be just awful if dads journey was cut short because he got lost in some river in hawaii. ) But he helped me par 5 , came up short on 7 , and he flipped over 8 ( I knew he was going to do that . )
All in all it wasn't a bad round , i shaved 5 strokes from the round I had at MacKenzie , for a 4 over . So dad has play the two oldest courses on the big island , MacKenzie , the tight and technical course . And Wailoa , the wide open fairways with the river hazard running thru the middle of it . next dads off the play at the hilo coffee mill . Hawaii's newest but only basketed course . so stay tuned there is more of this story to go ! Until then ...ALOHA !
We all have Mason Thomson to thank for the hilo coffee mil course , he was the one that worked on it ,pulled the resources together , and birthed the first basketed course on the big island .
After a 3 hour putting practice the day before i found out dad was not such a bad putter after all . He was hitting my tone pole 3 out of every 4 putts .
Saturday at the mill i showed up early again with my riding mower in tow , because i told Mason the week before that i would mow the # 5 fairway andd the # 6 green . so that is just what i did . Mason had his weed wacker , and he was working on the # 4 green .
In a couple of hours we were finished . Steve who had an unction to function , was complaining that Mason and I took to long because he really wanted to get some practice drives in before the round .
i did not use dad at the mill other then showing him around to other people talking about the brotherhood and his travels . Besides the mills course is higher elevation then the two previous course , it has wide open spaces and lots of OB . so i needed something i little more stable then dad . I didn't do to bad after two early double bog's I got a bird on 7 to finish +3
In the end I knew dad would be leaving the big island to continue his travels .The day he was leaving I took and early lunch to take dad up to see rainbow falls and boiling pots .because of the rain the boiling pots just looked like a river that day . ( plus I almost ran out of gas , almost .)got back to work and sent dad off the same way he had arrived here. But now dad travels with a lei.
I wasn't planing to finish this story so soon when i first started writing it but with the 4th coming up next week , and i know i will be killing some brain cells that day , its better I write it down now .
And for the rest of the brotherhood of the traveling disc enjoy dad while you have him , and don't sandbag with your stories , if you enjoyed reading this just think how much others will enjoy reading yours .
