- Ab-initio simulations of pressure effects on structural and electronic properties of iron based superconductors (2014)
- The ab-initio molecular dynamics framework has been the cornerstone of computational solid state physics in the last few decades. Although it is already a mature field it is still rapidly developing to accommodate the growth in solid state research as well as to efficiently utilize the increase in computing power. Starting from the first principles, the ab-initio molecular dynamics provides essential information about structural and electronic properties of matter under various external conditions. In this thesis we use the ab-initio molecular dynamics to study the behavior of BaFe2As2 and CaFe2As2 under the application of external pressure. BaFe2As2 and CaFe2As2 belong to the family of iron based superconductors which are a novel and promising superconducting materials. The application of pressure is one of two key methods by which electronic and structural properties of iron based superconductors can be modified, the other one being doping (or chemical pressure). In particular, it has been noted that pressure conditions have an important effect, but their exact role is not fully understood. To better understand the effect of different pressure conditions we have performed a series of ab-initio simulations of pressure application. In order to apply the pressure with arbitrary stress tensor we have developed a method based on the Fast Inertial Relaxation Engine, whereby the unit cell and the atomic positions are evolved according to the metadynamical equations of motion. We have found that the application of hydrostatic and c axis uniaxial pressure induces a phase transition from the magnetically ordered orthorhombic phase to the non-magnetic collapsed tetragonal phase in both BaFe2As2 and CaFe2As2. In the case of BaFe2As2, an intermediate tetragonal non-magnetic tetragonal phase is observed in addition. Application of the uniaxial pressure parallel to the c axis reduces the critical pressure of the phase transition by an order of magnitude, in agreement with the experimental findings. The in-plane pressure application did not result in transition to the non-magnetic tetragonal phase and instead, rotation of the magnetic order direction could be observed. This is discussed in the context of Ginzburg-Landau theory. We have also found that the magnetostructural phase transition is accompanied by a change in the Fermi surface topology, whereby the hole cylinders centered around the Gamma point disappear, restricting the possible Cooper pair scattering channels in the tetragonal phase. Our calculations also permit us to estimate the bulk moduli and the orthorhombic elastic constants of BaFe2As2 and CaFe2As2. To study the electronic structure in systems with broken translational symmetry, such as doped iron based superconductors, it is necessary to develop a method to unfold the complicated bandstructures arising from the supercell calculations. In this thesis we present the unfolding method based on group theoretical techniques. We achieve the unfolding by employing induced irreducible representations of space groups. The unique feature of our method is that it treats the point group operations on an equal footing with the translations. This permits us to unfold the bandstructures beyond the limit of translation symmetry and also formulate the tight-binding models of reduced dimensionality if certain conditions are met. Inclusion of point group operations in the unfolding formalism allows us to reach important conclusions about the two versus one iron picture in iron based superconductors. And finally, we present the results of ab-initio structure prediction in the cases of giant volume collapse in MnS2 and alkaline doped picene. In the case of MnS2, a previously unobserved high pressure arsenopyrite structure of MnS2 is predicted and stability regions for the two competing metastable phases under pressure are determined. In the case of alkaline doped picene, crystal structures with different levels of doping were predicted and used to study the role of electronic correlations.
- Aspects of electron correlations in two-dimensional metals (2015)
- Landau's Fermi liquid theory has been the main tool for investigating interactions between fermions at low energies for more than 50 years. It has been successful in describing, amongst other things, the mass enhancement in ³He and the thermodynamics of a large class of metals. Whilst this in itself is remarkable given the phenomenological nature of the original theory, experiments have found several materials, such as some superconducting and heavy-fermion materials, which cannot be described within the Fermi liquid picture. Because of this, many attempts have been made to understand these ''non Fermi liquid'' phases from a theoretical perspective. This will be the broad topic of the first part of this thesis and will be investigated in Chapter 2, where we consider a two-dimensional system of electrons interacting close to a Fermi surface through a damped gapless bosonic field. Such systems are known to give rise to non Fermi liquid behaviour. In particular we will consider the Ising-nematic quantum critical point of a two-dimensional metal. At this quantum critical point the Fermi liquid theory breaks down and the fermionic self-energy acquires the non Fermi liquid like {omega}²/³ frequency dependence at lowest order and within the canonical Hertz-Millis approach to quantum criticality of interacting fermions. Previous studies have however shown that, due to the gapless nature of the electronic single-particle excitations, the exponent of 2/3 is modified by an anomalous dimension {eta_psi} which changes, not only the exponent of the frequency dependence, but also the exponent of the momentum dependence of the self-energy. These studies also show that the usual 1/N-expansion breaks down for this problem. We therefore develop an alternative approach to calculate the anomalous dimensions based on the functional renormalization group, which will be introduced in the introductory Chapter 1. Doing so we will be able to calculate both the anomalous dimension renormalizing the exponent of the frequency dependence and the exponent renormalizing the momentum dependence of the self-energy. Moreover we will see that an effective interaction between the bosonic fields, mediated by the fermions, is crucial in order to obtain these renormalizations. In the second part of this thesis, presented in Chapter 3, we return to Fermi liquid theory itself. Indeed, despite its conceptual simplicity of expressing interacting electrons through long-lived quasi-particles which behave in a similar fashion as free particles, albeit with renormalized parameters, it remains an active area of research. In particular, in order to take into account the full effects of interactions between quasi-particles, it is crucial to consider specific microscopic models. One such effect, which is not captured by the phenomenological theory itself, is the appearance of non-analytic terms in the expansions of various thermodynamic quantities such as heat-capacity and susceptibility with respect to an external magnetic field, temperature, or momentum. Such non-analyticities may have a large impact on the phase diagram of, for example, itinerant electrons near a ferromagnetic quantum phase transition. Inspired by this we consider a system of interacting electrons in a weak external magnetic field within Fermi liquid theory. For this system we calculate various quasi-particle properties such as the quasi-particle residue, momentum-renormalization factor, and a renormalization factor which relates to the self-energy on the Fermi surface. From these renormalization factors we then extract physical quantities such as the renormalized mass and renormalized electron Lande g-factor. By calculating the renormalization factors within second order perturbation theory numerically and analytically, using a phase-space decomposition, we show that all renormalization factors acquire a non-analytic term proportional to the absolute value of the magnetic field. We moreover explicitly calculate the prefactors of these terms and find that they are all universal and determined by low-energy scattering processes which we classify. We also consider the non-analytic contributions to the same renormalization factors at finite temperatures and for finite external frequencies and discuss possible experimental ways of measuring the prefactors. Specifically we find that the tunnelling density of states and the conductivity acquire a non-analytic dependence on magnetic field (and temperature) coming from the momentum-renormalization factor. For the latter we discuss how this relates to previous works which show the existence of non-analyticities in the conductivity at first order in the interaction.
- From microscopic interactions to the dynamics of the fireball (2014)
- We discuss recent applications of the partonic perturbative QCD based cascade model BAMPS with focus on heavy-ion phenomenology in the hard and soft momentum range. First, the elliptic flow and suppression of charm and bottom quarks are studied at LHC energies. Thereafter, we compare in a detailed study the standard Gunion-Bertsch approximation of the matrix elements for inelastic processes to the exact results in leading order perturbative QCD. Since a disagreement is found, we propose an improved Gunion-Bertsch matrix element, which agrees with the exact result in all phase space regions.
- Emissivity and conductivity of parton-hadron matter (2014)
- We investigate the properties of the QCD matter across the deconfinement phase transition. In the scope of the parton-hadron string dynamics (PHSD) transport approach, we study the strongly interacting matter in equilibrium as well as the out-of equilibrium dynamics of relativistic heavy-ion collisions. We present here in particular the results on the electromagnetic radiation, i.e. photon and dilepton production, in relativistic heavy-ion collisions and the relevant correlator in equilibrium, i.e. the electric conductivity. By comparing our calculations for the heavy-ion collisions to the available data, we determine the relative importance of the various production sources and address the possible origin of the observed strong elliptic flow ν2 of direct photons.
- Fusion using time-dependent density-constrained DFT (2014)
- We present results for calculating fusion cross-sections using a new microscopic approach based on a time-dependent density-constrained DFT calculations. The theory is implemented by using densities and other information obtained from TDDFT time-evolution of the nuclear system as a constraint on the density for DFT calculations.
- Decays of open charmed mesons in the extended Linear Sigma Model (2014)
- We enlarge the so-called extended linear Sigma model (eLSM) by including the charm quark according to the global U(4)r × U(4)l chiral symmetry. In the eLSM, besides scalar and pseudoscalar mesons, also vector and axial-vector mesons are present. Almost all the parameters of the model were fixed in a previous study of mesons below 2 GeV. In the extension to the four-flavor case, only three additional parameters (all of them related to the bare mass of the charm quark) appear.We compute the (OZI dominant) strong decays of open charmed mesons. The results are compatible with the experimental data, although the theoretical uncertainties are still large.
- The final stage of gravitationally collapsed thick matter layers (2013)
- In the presence of a minimal length, physical objects cannot collapse to an infinite density, singular, matter point. In this paper, we consider the possible final stage of the gravitational collapse of "thick" matter layers. The energy momentum tensor we choose to model these shell-like objects is a proper modification of the source for "noncommutative geometry inspired," regular black holes. By using higher momenta of Gaussian distribution to localize matter at finite distance from the origin, we obtain new solutions of the Einstein equation which smoothly interpolates between Minkowski's geometry near the center of the shell and Schwarzschild's spacetime far away from the matter layer. The metric is curvature singularity free. Black hole type solutions exist only for "heavy" shells; that is, M >= Mρ, where Mρ is the mass of the extremal configuration. We determine the Hawking temperature and a modified area law taking into account the extended nature of the source.
- Synthesis of superheavy nuclei: obstacles and opportunities (2015)
- There are only 3 methods for the production of heavy and superheavy (SH) nuclei, namely, fusion reactions, a sequence of neutron capture and beta(-) decay and multinucleon transfer reactions. Low values of the fusion cross sections and very short half-lives of nuclei with Z<120 put obstacles in synthesis of new elements. At the same time, an important area of SH isotopes located between those produced in the cold and hot fusion reactions remains unstudied yet. This gap could be filled in fusion reactions of 48Ca with available lighter isotopes of Pu, Am, and Cm. New neutron-enriched isotopes of SH elements may be produced with the use of a 48Ca beam if a 250Cm target would be prepared. In this case we get a real chance to reach the island of stability owing to a possible beta(+) decay of 291114 and 287112 nuclei formed in this reaction with a cross section of about 0.8 pb. A macroscopic amount of the long-living SH nuclei located at the island of stability may be produced by using the pulsed nuclear reactors of the next generation only if the neutron fluence per pulse will be increased by about three orders of magnitude. Multinucleon transfer processes look quite promising for the production and study of neutron-rich heavy nuclei located in upper part of the nuclear map not reachable by other reaction mechanisms. Reactions with actinide beams and targets are of special interest for synthesis of new neutron-enriched transfermium nuclei and not-yet-known nuclei with closed neutron shell N=126 having the largest impact on the astrophysical r-process. The estimated cross sections for the production of these nuclei allows one to plan such experiments at currently available accelerators.
- On unitary evolution and collapse in quantum mechanics (2014)
- In the framework of an interference setup in which only two outcomes are possible (such as in the case of a Mach–Zehnder interferometer), we discuss in a simple and pedagogical way the difference between a standard, unitary quantum mechanical evolution and the existence of a real collapse of the wavefunction. This is a central and not-yet resolved question of quantum mechanics and indeed of quantum field theory as well. Moreover, we also present the Elitzur–Vaidman bomb, the delayed choice experiment, and the effect of decoherence. In the end, we propose two simple experiments to visualize decoherence and to test the role of an entangled particle.
- Diagnostic scheme for the HITRAP decelerator (2011)
- The HITRAP linear decelerator currently being set up at GSI will provide slow, few keV/u highly charged ions for atomic physics experiments. The expected beam intensity is up to 105 ions per shot. To optimize phase and amplitude of the RF systems intensity, bunch length and kinetic energy of the particles need to be monitored. The bunch length that we need to fit is about 2 ns, which is typically measured by capacitive pickups. However, they do not work for the low beam intensities that we face. We investigated the bunch length with a fast CVD diamond detector working in single particle counting mode. Averaging over 8 shots yields a clear, regular picture of the bunched beam. Energy measurements by capacitive pickups are limited by the presence of intense primary and partially decelerated beam and hence make tuning of the IH-structure impossible. The energy of the decelerated fraction of the beam behind the first deceleration cavity was determined to about 10 % accuracy with a permanent dipole magnet combined with a MCP. Better detector calibration should help reaching the required 1%. Design of the detectors as well as the results of the measurements will be presented.

I would always rather stay in an independant owned hotel or B&B, for the personal service you receive over a chain hotel.
You don't always get the standard of accommodation however, quite the opposite at this country inn. It was extremely comfortable with very warm rooms, comfortable bed and an excellent breakfast in the morning with a good choice. Excellent value for money. I would recomend this inn to anyone. 10 out of 10 on service, accommodation and food.

MACCABI TEL AVIV'S Yogev Ohayon 370.
(photo credit:Adi Avishai)
Israel's top basketball teams entered the final stretch of their preparations
for the new BSL season on Tuesday as the preseason Winner Cup commenced in
Kiryat Ata and at the renovated Romema Arena in Haifa.Maccabi Tel Aviv,
which only returned from its training camp in Europe on Monday, overcome a slow
start to beat Hapoel Eilat 86-63 in the last quarterfinal on Tuesday, setting up
a meeting in Thursday's semis against Maccabi Haifa, which defeated Maccabi
Rishon Lezion 71-57.Hapoel Jerusalem put on the most promising
performance of the night with a 93-69 thrashing of Hapoel Holon and will face
Maccabi Ashdod on Thursday after Ofer Berkowitz's side defeated Hapoel Gilboa
Galil 71-66.In the final game of the evening in Kiryat Ata, seven points
by Scotty Hopson gave Oded Katash's Eilat an early 8- 2 lead. However, Maccabi
slowly found its feet and trailed by just two points (17-15) after 10
minutes.A 13-3 run, capped by a Yogev Ohayon three-pointer, early in the
second quarter saw Tel Aviv move in front (30- 23) and the yellow-and-blue
shifted into cruise control until the final buzzer.David Logan had 20
points for Maccabi, with Lior Eliyahu scoring 15.Hopson ended the game
with 26 points."We didn't really practice ahead of this game because of
our late return to Israel, but this was a pretty good test," said Maccabi coach
David Blatt.After a rocky summer, Jerusalem gave its fans plenty to look
forward to on Tuesday ahead of the start of the BSL season on October
14.The Malha faithful will be especially encouraged by the display of
new American guard Jacob Pullen in Romema.The 23-year-old former Kansas
State Wildcat ended the game with 29 points and six assists, scoring 15 in the
first half.A Pullen basket gave Jerusalem a double- digit margin (24-14)
after 10 minutes and Sharon Drucker's men took a 42-33 lead into the halftime
interval.Holon closed to within five points (47-42) in the third period,
but the ejection of its coach Dan Shamir and Jerusalem's subsequent free throws
allowed it to go on a 10-2 run that opened a 57-44 gap from which there was no
return.Craig Smith added 15 points for Jerusalem, with Josh Duncan
scoring 13."I think this was a pretty good game for us," said Drucker.
"We are continuing to work on our coordination and this was a first step in a
long journey."Frank Hassell had 26 points and 11 boards for Holon. In
the opening game in Kiryat Ata, the rebuilt Maccabi Ashdod was led to the win by
new center Diamon Simpson.The young American dominated under the
baskets, scoring 23 points and grabbing 19 rebounds, including 11 on the
offensive end.Gilboa got off to the better start, scoring the first six
points of the encounter, but a 17-4 Ashdod run saw it move into a 40-27 gap
midway through the second period.Gilboa closed to within three points
(40-37) by the end of the first half, only for Ashdod to open an eight-point
(62- 54) advantage ahead of the fourth frame.Lior Lubin's team moved to
within striking distance (68-64) in the final two minutes of the game, but
Ashdod would clinch the win with a spectacular alleyoop slammed with authority
by Chris Allen.Allen ended the game with 17 points, while Rakim Sanders
had 15 points for Gilboa.In the curtain-raiser in Romema, Haifa held a
five-point lead after 10 minutes (22-17) and maintained the margin until the
break (34-29).Rishon opened the second half with a 10-2 run capped by a
Lazeric Jones basket (39-36), but the Greens replied with a 16-0 surge, with
Donta Smith and Ido Kozikaro catching fire and combining for 13 of those points
to give Haifa a 52-39 cushion it comfortably converted to a win.Smith
led Haifa with 19 points, while the 34-year-old Kozikaro contributed an
impressive double-double with 18 points and 11 rebounds.Adrian Uter had
16 points for Rishon."We worked hard on defense," said Haifa's new
American coach Brad Greenberg. "Our offense is still a mystery to me. I'm not
sure what's going on sometimes, but the first thing you need is effort and we
showed that today."The four BSL teams who aren't participating in the
Winner Cup also played warm-up games on Tuesday, with newly-promoted Hapoel Tel
Aviv thrashing Barak Netanya 88-56 and Bnei Herzliya edging Ironi Ashkelon

Texas unemployment fell to 4.3 percent during February for the sixth straight month of declines, the Texas Workforce Commission reported Friday.
A. Lee Graham
Basic Energy Services Inc. of Fort Worth has reported fewer well-servicing rig hours, dropping from 74,500 in January to 68,100 in February.
Meanwhile, the oil and gas well-services company higher rig utilization, with the rate rising from 69 percent in January to 73 percent in February. The 73 percent rate rose from 71 percent in February 2013, according to the company's newly released report on February 2014 activity.
Rig utilization rates determine what percentage of a company's rigs is in use.
"As we approach springtime, we expect to benefit from longer daylight hours and better weather conditions, which should allow us to improve our utilization rates," said president and CEO Roe Patterson, commenting in a news release.
"Prices across our service lines remains stable, and we continue to see selected opportunities to increase rates in the busier oil market," Patterson said.
Also in the new report, the company reported its well-servicing rig count remained unchanged at 425, while its fluid service truck count increased by five to 1,008. Fluid service truck hours for the month totaled 189,000 compared to 207,400 and 177,600 in January 2014 and February 2013, respectively.
Drilling rig days for February 2014 totaled 262.
Basic Energy Services, which provides oil and gas well-site services, employs more than 5,400 workers in Texas, Louisiana, Oklahoma, New Mexico, Arkansas, Kansas and the Rocky Mountain and Appalachian regions. More information is available at www.basicenergyservices.com.

I did not grout the very top tiles or the side-end tiles. That's why my tiling looks unfinished and raw....
How do you make a straight line of grout on the very top and the side? Thanks

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) _ Westar Energy is seeking a nearly $32 million rate increase to help upgrade pollution controls at one of its coal-fired power plants.
The Topeka-based utility filed its request Monday with the Kansas Corporation Commission.
Westar says the increase would raise monthly electric bills about $7.50 a month or less for two-thirds of its residential electric customers. The impact on the other one-third could be higher, but Westar says it's not sure by how much.
At the same time, Westar also wants to cut rates for large and medium-sized businesses. It says those rates have risen faster in recent years than the electric rates for businesses in neighboring states.
The new revenues would finance pollution control improvements at Westar's La Cygne plant in eastern Kansas.

Decor a Bit dated overall a relaxing weekend. Great pool
An amazing location. The staff were extremely helpful and friendly. There aren't too many lodges so this lovely place won't seem too busy even when fully booked. The swimming pool was an added bonus with a beautiful mural.
Club house was not open which was disappointing. Prices are ridiculously higher in peak season but our stay was great.
Shame swimming pool not available more often.
Otter Falls was the ideal location for an off peak relaxing break with our dog.
We stayed at otter fall over the new year,
It was a lovly break accommodion was great
the only comment I have please open the bar for New Years eve.
What a fabulous place to take your dogs to. Plenty of walks straight from your door - take an OS map with you to make the most of it.
To be fair it was November so the clubhouse was closed
Idyllic setting overlooking the lake. Really peaceful and lovely to see the ducks and geese in the morning enquiring after breakfast! The staff were very friendly and informative and we owe our fantastic day on Saturday to their good advice on local walks/attractions.
Last times we've been to Upottery the grass hasn't been cut for the golf which is not good
Wonderful location and excellent facilities.
We were a little disappointed that the bar facility was closed throughout our stay
nice peaceful location lovely lodge on edge of lake ideal for fishing (bit disappointing) excellent staff could not have been more helpful and friendly even got us gluten free bread nice food in the tickled trout bistro reasonable prices everywhere spotlessly clean
Lovely comfortable accommodation - we had one of the island lodges - very dog friendly place and great for fishing right outside your door. Beautiful peaceful setting - although the ducks are very vocal - they are lovely to see and hear! If I would change anything it would be to book one of the lodges on the opposite side of the lake to get the sun for longer throughout the day - with the island lodges you only get sun on the verandah till around midday
Very relaxing, peaceful and quiet environment ideal for walking the dog or just taking a stroll. Alternatively good base to explore the Devon countryside and South West Devon coastline.

Joan Jett urged us to "put another dime in the jukebox, baby," but you won't need a dime for the Library of Congress' new National Jukebox.
The library is streaming "a vast archive of more than 10,000 pre-1925 recordings of music, speeches, poetry and comedy. Much of it hasn't been widely available since World War I," reports Justin Jouvenal in the Washington Post. "Call it America's iTunes."
Harry Connick Jr. appeared to help the library launch the service, Jouvenal reports.
"At launch, the Jukebox includes more than 10,000 recordings made by the Victor Talking Machine Company between 1901 and 1925," Library of Congress officials wrote on the library's website. "Jukebox content will be increased regularly, with additional Victor recordings and acoustically recorded titles made by other Sony-owned U.S. labels, including Columbia, Okeh and others."
Matthew Lasar, writing for Ars Technica, divines the greatest richness of the jukebox: "But what the National Jukebox really offers is a deep glimpse into a world in which the categories that we've attached to genres — 'classical,' 'popular' and 'opera' — weren't always so clear," he writes. "This was an age when pop orchestra leaders played Berlioz, marching band conductors wrote operas, and opera divas sang 'Home, Sweet Home' for their often working-class fans. It was a time when it wasn't always so easy to tell a ragtime tune from the scherzo of a symphony."

Braeburn Apples-beautiful outside but large brown spots in flesh?
This was a first for me. Yesterday I made an early trip to the store for apples to make my daughter her favorite apple pie for her birthday. I came home with the usual 8 Granny Smiths and for a change I also got 6 Braeburn apples. The Braeburns were beautiful, firm and glossy, with no blemishes. I made my pastry and as it was chilling, I started to prepare the apples. The first Braeburn I cut into had large brown spots in the flesh and there was not enough good apple to save. The second Braeburn was as bad if not worse. I stopped and called the store, I can get new apples or a refund on my next trip. I had enough Granny Smiths to make the pie.
Has this happen to anyone else? I have been making pies for years and this is the first time I have ever had this happen. Could the apples have been frozen at some point? Wouldn't that have done some damage to the skin? I am at a lost on this one.
I've noticed that too on a couple of batches of apples in the last year or so. Can't recall what kind of apples they were though. I never could figure it out. If they were bruises, I would have expected at least some of the outside to show something and the pattern didn't really suggest bruising (sometimes the brown parts seemed to be coming from the inside out). I suspected them being over ripe or possibly frozen or something. They weren't really edible although they looked perfect on the outside. Disappointing.
Yes the apples were just perfect on the outside, no soft spots, no marks of any kind, no dents, they were perfect.
carla35, you are right, the brown areas started at the seeds and came to within about 1/4 of the skin. I was so shocked after cutting them in half.
At least my Granny Smiths didn't let me down and a couple of them got damaged by being dumped in the shopping bag at the store by the bagger.
The pie turned out great and my daughter did let me have one slice!
Thanks for trying to help me figure this out.

Disease has struck very quickly...
I am sure this will be an easy ID, but any idea what this is? Really seemed to happen overnight...
Should I start the daconil spraying, I assume?

Hi Jean,
Growing in the ground.
We actually put 5-10-5 around the plant a week ago. This is what we usually do and have never noticed a condition like this, but we've had a lot of rain this week. Perhaps some of the grains of fertilizer drifted too close to the roots and burned up the plant?
We apply this two times a season. I'd say 1/2 cup a plant or so, give or take. Always around the whole plant, at least a few inches away.
Thanks for the help! No additional damage yet, so it seems, so I believe you may be right in that it was a fertilizer issue!

Sunroom smells like Cat Urine - Need fixing/remodelling ideas
Hi All,
I need some help about what to do with this old sunroom built by the previous owner. It smells like Cat Urine (particularly on a humid day). I tried cleaning with pine sol/Nature's Miracle, and I even re-capped an old sewer cleanout in the room, but to no avail. Still really bad.
Since the chemical cleanings are not working, I am leaning toward replacing the flooring with tile. Problem is the existing floor is one of those epoxy aggregate pebble floors. Should I just use a sledge-hammer? I am worried I will just leave an un-level mess of concrete.
Any other ideas to make this space livable? (Also, please take a look at the roof, not sure what the material is but is this ok for a sunroom?) Pics below.
Here is a link that might be useful: Sunroom Pics
Are you sure the odour is from the floor? Some epoxy aggregates are non-porous. And even the porous ones are not the same as a carpet, for instance.
I had one tenant who left me a house of urine saturated wall-to-wall broadloom. I gave the next tenant a huge break on the rent; after he removed the carpet, sanded and refinished all the floors and painted all the walls and woodwork, the house was bright and fresh.
My guess is the odor is coming from the walls. As worthy mentioned, I'd think the epoxy flooring is non-porous.
For cleaning, use only products made for kennels and specifically for cat urine. You can try cleaning the floors and wall with the enzyme, let it dry thoroughly, then seal with shellac.
Before spending money on replacing the floor, I'd try to determine if the walls are the problem. You should buy a black light first, since it will show you the areas that are soiled.
Remember that when using the enzyme, you need to let it soak for hours for it to work well.
In addition, don't use other non-enzyme products on the odor since it prevents the enzyme products from working efficiently.

Breaking Local News
Man Arrested After Domestic Disturbance
A man is facing charges after getting into a fight over Chinese food Pollce say 26-year old Zachary Dawson is charged with domestic battery, child neglect creating risk of injury and obstructing an officer. A woman called police Tuesday morning to report the suspect at her house in the 2200 block of Oak Ridge Drive, and two young children were there. The suspect was eventually tracked to a house Hess Drive and arrested. The victim told officers she and Dawson began arguing over Chinese food and things escalated.
House Committee Makes Changes to Meth Bill
The House Judiciary Committee passed a bill passed the meth bill out of committee last night, but made some changes first. The Senate had passed a measure requiring prescriptions for products containing pseudoephedrine, and the House Judiciary changed the bill so that those who have been convicted of a drug related felony would have to get a prescription for those cold medicines, the rest of the public would not. An amendment was also passed that would lower the overall amount of pseudoephedrine you can buy each year. The bill now goes back to the Senate.
House Education Committee Seeks Bigger Raise for Teachers
The House Education Committee has voted to increase pay for West Virginia teachers and service personnel significantly. The amended bill increases teacher salaries $6,000 across-the-board over three years. Pay would increase $1,000 the first year, $2,000 the next, and $3,000 the third. As the bill stands, service personnel would see a $3,000 raise over three years. The bill was introduced by Delegate David Walker after he expressed concern over a proposal to give teachers a $1,500 raise. He said not including service personnel beyond the already allotted 2 percent was discriminatory. When the Senate voted on the bill last week, it granted teachers an $834 raise. Several members spoke out in opposition to the bill, calling it fiscally irresponsible. The bill will go to House Finance Committee now.
WVU Close to Hiring New President
West Virginia University's Board of Governors has acted on a recommendation that came Friday from the presidential search committee, to hire E. Gordon Gee as the university's president. The board endorsed the recommendation, which means Gee becomes the next president after serving as interim president once the decision is approved by the West Virginia Higher Education Policy Commission.
Accidents Are Numerous Because Of Icy Roads
The Kanawha County Sheriff's Office says from midnight to 5am Monday there were 41 accidents reported. Of those, 14 involved injuries.. At the beginning of the storm on Sunday, there were fewer accidents that there had been with other storms, but deputies attribute the lower totals to fewer travelers on the roads, heeding the advice of transportation officials.
Plans Move Ahead to Renovate the Civic Center
Civic Center renovations were a big topic of discussion at Monday night's city council meeting in Charleston. The firm O'Dell Associates was hired for design consulting services, which means they'll help the city council find the construction company that will perform the renovation work. $50 million has been budgeted for the project.
Emergency Command Center Is Assessing the Storm
Representatives from the West Virginia State Police, the American Red Cross, the National Guard, and other agencies have set up a space beneath the Capitol to stay updated on the weatehr. The Emergency Operations Center opened Sunday, and they'll decide about road closures and possible shelters with the snow this morning.
Sudafed Bill Faces Opposition
The pharmaceutical industry is mounting a media blitz against a West Virginia bill requiring prescriptions for cold medicines. The Consumer Healthcare Products Association argues customers would face higher costs and have less purchasing freedom. The group paid for Internet and radio ads and a study. The pseudoephedrine bill passed the Senate, but has a tough road in the House of Delegates. It has until March 8 to pass the Judiciary Committee and the House. Judiciary Chairman Tim Manchin said there is opposition to the bill on his panel.
Monday's Storm Rough on Travelers
With the storm that continues this morning, the National Weather Service says ice accumulations of 0.25 to 0.5 inches and 4 to 8 inches of snow are expected. A Winter Storm Warning has been issued for the entire state. Snow accumulations are a concern today, mainly because the ice came first and that's coating the roads underneath the snow. The National Weather Service says parts of the Eastern Panhandle could see up to a foot of snow. Up to six to eight inches of snow is expected in other parts of the state. Appalachian Power says it's moving crews into areas of the state that are expected to be hit the hardest.
Concerns Linger Over Water Quality
Sen. Jay Rockefeller is still skeptical about safety of drinking water for 300,000 Charleston-area residents. At an appearance Friday in Charleston, Rockefeller said he would not drink tap water when he is visiting the capital city, according to the Charleston Daily Mail. Health officials said the water was safe to use more than a month ago, but Governor Tomblin kept the emergency declaration in force partially because of lingering odor from some taps and showers. The emergency declaration has since been lifted.

Tiny Master Bedroom - Options other Than Pictures on Wall
Our master bedroom is tiny 9'x10'. The headboard is an arched window with an awesome view. There are only two feet on each side of our queen size bed to the wall. When we had pictures on the wall, they seemed too close to the bed. What other options are there to complete the room? Thanks for any input.
You can use window treatments on the window, and lamps on small end tables or wall hung swing arm lamps on either side.
Put pictures and things on other walls.
In our small guest room we installed matching shelves on either side of the bed instead of end tables. It made the room look less cluttered. My DH made them and he added a drawer for a little more storage.
On the wall we hung a mirror that had a beautiful frame around it for added interest.
I would get two matching tallish thin lamps for your night stands. Then on the sides of the window, about eye height I would put either two square mirrors, or two squarish wrought iron pieces (depends on the lamps you have) or two nicely framed pieces of art...maybe pictures with leaves to match your bed covering. Your window and view are gorgeous....let that be the main focus of that wall.
You could put wallpaper either above or below the chair rail, in a pattern that wouldn't close in the room. Or add moulding to the walls to make "frames." You could leave the inside the same paint color, or paint a different color or use wallpaper.
Some filmy white panels on the window on the side wall.
I second the idea of wall-mounted lamps; they will give you much more space on the nightstands.
I don't know how much room you have at the foot of the bed, but I could see a small wooden chair on the wall opposite the bed--someplace to sit and admire the view, or just to sit and put your shoes on.
Here is a link that might be useful: wall panels
Thanks so much for all the great ideas.
Would love to have a chair in the room but there's only two feet of space around the bed. Looking in from the door, on the left side, where a closet would normally be, there's a built-in 6 drawer dresser. Above the dresser is where I hang my clothes. At the end of the bed,and to the right of the door, again only two feet from the bed, is an armoire where hubby hangs his clothes.
Although I love my tiny home (only 860 sq.ft.) there are times I wish it wasn't so tiny!
Perhaps it is the angle of the photo but the entire room wants to pull my eye downward. That window is so low- how do you sit up in bed to read without cracking your head on glass?
That said you need color and objects to draw the eye up.
Is there a window treatment planned for that window that could be duplicated on the bed wall?
How about some sort of ornamental wall treatment like this wrought iron piece-
I don't think that comforter is doing you any favors- you need color in there to distract the eye IMO.
And a baseboard under the night stand :) that would drive me nuts.
I'd rotate the bed and put it against the wall with the other window. Add art to the wall at the foot of the bed and then you can enjoy both the view and the art from your bed.
Using curtains and shades, I'd create the illusion of two windows behind the bed to make it look like your bed is centered on two windows. Something like these photos below. You can always mount curtain rods for and add shades to "windows" that don't exist to create symmetry.
It would be a shame to cover up that lovely window. Maybe a valance of some sort, fabric or wood, hung way up by the ceiling all the way across the width of the wall with something hanging down along the corners. I take it you don't need window coverings for privacy? I'm big on storage or bookcases so you might consider something like that up near the ceiling also. Maybe a ledge of some sort to display something on. Just my 3 cents worth!!!!
I vote for a wall decal. The picture cearbhaill posted is actually a wall decal from etsy.
Here are some other cool wall decals from etsy that could work. Just do a search for ''wall decal'' with ''headboard'' or ''swirl'' or ''tree'', etc, and you can find all sorts of cool ideas.
Here is a link that might be useful: Vineyard Canopy - Wrought Iron Inspired - Headboard Wall Sticker
Although small, it is a lovely room! I love the tree outside the window!
I would probably go simple with all-white bedding. I like the idea of tall lamps-maybe glass or silver buffet lamps with white shades. I am linking to a pretty PB lamp that might look great! I would go with the silver.
I don't think you need anything on the walls. If you really want something, then I would choose paintings for the two side walls that are not too frou-frou and that complement each other-calm abstracts or something like Monet 'Waterlily' prints would be nice. Just make it something you and DH love.
Here is a link that might be useful: silver candlestick lamp
Wow - so many great ideas!
Although the arched window has recessed reading lights, I'll probably pick up a pair of lamps.
I think a wall decal above the bed would look good, DH would have other ideas.
While scouting out my first choice of white bedding (none of which DH liked), he spotted the duvet that's currently on the bed and said he liked it. Majority of the house decorating is what I wanted/liked . . . I thought it fair to choose something he picked out.
From a decorative standpoint, I think the tall lamps could be nice, but if you read in bed, you will find that, unless the base of the shade is no higher than your eyebrows, you will see the bulb rather than the light on the page. I also think that the real estate on your night stands is too valuable to be used by a lamp.
So I'd vote for swing-arm lamps mounted on the walls above the night stands - they exist in many styles, as you likely know. You can swing them to sit directly over the stands unless you need to pull them closer to read. It's also nice to ground them by putting whatever you are leaving on the night stand - a tissue box cover, a storage box, oa small stack of books, or whatever suits your life - directly under the mounting plate of the lamp.
And I love the idea of the decorated wall. You could surround your window with something that incorporates the view into the whole business. This Bing search turned up a lot of interesting ideas.
Here is a link that might be useful: Wall murals
If a decal is too, I dunno...cutesy? what about a whole wall stencil of trees? As bronwynsmom said, bring the outside view in for an accent wall.
There was a discussion a while back about the decor on the abc show Once Upon a Time, how the interiors often reflect the forest in some way. Lots of tree wallpaper there. Stenciling is easier to undo if you're sick of it, though.
Here is a link that might be useful: Birch Forest Wall stencil
First of all I love your little bedroom. I always try to let my hubby have a little say so in our home decor too. I think some wall words either stinciled or in vinyl above the window following the curve of the arch would be beautiful and simple. I have "Always Kiss me Goodnite" above my bed in the vinyl lettering. If you add lamps and pillows I think you won't need any pictures. Best of luck.
if it were me i'd try out a nook for the bed space under that gorgeous window and tree.
houzze has a lot--
i'm thinking the bed parallel to the wall instead of perpendicular, lots of fabric on either side to help 'enclose' it and something really lovely overhead--a chandelier?or an upholstered ceiling in the nook with chandy under it?
it's a challenge but can be done, especially if there is another room you could use as a dressing room. in which case your 'bedroom' becomes a 'sleeping chamber'.

Twin Virtues
Ultimately, the most successful societies find the balance between the twin virtues of inequality of outcomes and equality of opportunity.
The new politics must marry the twin virtues of unequal outcomes and equality of opportunity.
When too few get too much everybody loses.
Feminism is about women living their lives on their own terms, marshaling the resources of the society to make that possible, and men embracing this as vital to a successful society and their own liberation.
Can it be that striving for equality of opportunity however imperfect the process not only benefits the individual but also creates benefits for the society that are unintended but wonderful?
Economics must be a 'moral enterprise' as much as politics claims to be. Economic outcomes need to be framed in terms of right and wrong not just efficiency if only because these often align in surprising ways that are good for society and the economy.
My vision of Canada is that any Canadian child from a family of limited circumstance can expect to have a chance at lifetime of unlimited opportunities.
Tax policy should be founded on the principle of generating steady tax revenues sufficient to maximise environmentally sustainable economic growth in order to fund fair government.
Public policy should be designed to decrease inequality before the law and increase equality of opportunity.
Capitalism is not the problem; the problem is what we do with capitalism.
Content is always more difficult to argue than conspiracy.
Let the state regulate and the market operate (most things).
Welfare strategies are best designed as a hand up, not as a hand out.
Political debate should not be fact free fighting.
Explanation lasts longer than eloquence.
Always favour empowerment over dependency.
The most enduring public figures are embraced for the causes they fought for and not the concept of themselves they hoped others would remember them by.
Find your voice and don't be the echo of somebody else.
It is possible to operate on two different levels: the practical, cautious and conservative; and the realm of ideas, open, free, and radical.

Letters: 'Doonesbury' strip held
I think you missed an opportunity to show relevance to your readers. We, my husband and I, will be getting "Doonesbury" on the 'Net. I prefer holding a paper in my hand, but the computer is all too easy to use and gives us everything the paper does, and more. The paper is a morning ritual, but I'm still open to change. Sad, though, that you put me here today! And sad, too, that for some cockamamie reason, these "middle-aged male senators" have dreamed up so an intrusion into women's lives and health. This is the Republicans' "small government"? This is their view of women? And you are afraid to run a comic strip that takes it on? – LaVerne S. Neuman, Spring Valley
Through out it's history the Tribune, then Union-Tribune and now U-T San Diego has catered to the staunchly conservative power base in San Diego whose roots are firmly planted in the military-industrial complex. And so be it. It wasn't named the San Diego Independent. In spite of its conservative legacy it is fascinating to observe the extent to which the U-T and many other outlets across the country have embraced the rising tide of the radical, religion-based neoconservatism that has thoroughly co-opted and corrupted the "party of Lincoln."
Unfortunately for us all this puts the U-T in the position of having to pretend that the ridiculous behavior and statements of this movement is rational and acceptable. It also leads to such childish actions as pulling a hugely popular comic strip that serves to expose the foolishness of the right-wing morals police. This seems so silly and spineless. One wonders who called in their chips to force the U-T editors to embarrass themselves.
Ultimately, this cowardice on the part of the U-T only contributes to its own undoing. The U-T has already become a mere shadow of its former self. In this age of instantaneous global communication and social networking it will become more and more difficult for newspapers to succeed, especially ones that allow themselves to be manipulated in this fashion. – David Austin, San Diego
I am a subscriber to your newspaper and appreciate your usually high standards of journalism. However, it was recently brought to my attention that you have censored "Doonesbury" this week due to the provocative nature of the content.
The strip is a commentary on the recent attack by the conservative right-wing on a woman's ability to make her own health choices. I do not see any legitimate reason to censor the strip and hope you will run all the censored strips in tomorrow's paper. – Jason Folkman, San Diego
You have the courage to report on the horrors of war every day and yet "Doonesbury" is not appropriate in the context of today's news, ads or editorials about erectile dysfunction drugs, lap dancing and vaginal probes?
So like Max Blumeyer in Oceanside (Letters, utsandiego.com, March 15), you believe any writer of an editorial you personally don't agree with is a left-wing shill? How narrow can the free press get without seeming to no longer be free? – Mandy Barre, Oceanside

Shared state, common mission for NH Peace Corps volunteers in Nepal

Ben Doller of Lee climbs a ladder while constructing a house for vegetable storage in Nepal's Surkhet District. (COURTESY)
"I've grown to appreciate another, wildly different culture, as well as my own, in a way I would never have fathomed had I stayed home," said Doller, 23. "It may just be that I had to completely step out of my own society to truly see it for what it is, all the while attempting to fit into another."
"Last month, I completed my first big project, which was a dental camp for my community," said Knudsen, 24. "I recruited a dentist from the capital of my district to conduct dental exams, counseling and oral health education for my community. On the day of the event, 145 people came from all over my county, and for most people, it was the first time they had their teeth examined."
Goida, 23, spent four years studying dietetics at the University of Vermont, where she gained a passion for agriculture and health care at a grassroots level. She's currently living in Nepal's Parbat District, where her tasks include harvesting rice.

Pop Singer Songwriter from DK
at den Atelier
promoter den Atelier
Aura Dione is a musical talent with Danish, Spanish, French and Faroese roots. Her voice and music mirror the qualities of the forbidden fruit: once consumed, you're blissfully surrendered. Aura's latest album, Before The Dinosaurs exemplifies her distinctive performance style as she plays with the senses, telling stories and painting pictures with her voice and melodies. Her world is a modern day fairy tale with the spirit of Pocahontas and the adventures of Huckleberry Finn. With her 2009 debut album, Columbine, Aura Dione demonstrated her talent as a phenomenal singer/songwriter and lyricist, reaching the top of the charts across Europe. The Gold and Platinum awarded no.1 hit I Will Love You Monday was the world's first glimpse into her gift for striking a chord in the hearts of audiences. And now she's all over again… with her current hit single, Geronimo!

Plant identification
Does anyone know what this plant is?
A friend of mine got it and I believe it is an 'annual' here in Maryland (zone 7). The flower looks a little bit like a mandivilla, but I am not at all familiar with most flowering plants in warmer zones.
Any ideas?
Be careful around the Nerium oleander.
It is one of the most toxic plants in the world!
All parts of the plant have the toxins, so be sure to wash hands thoroughly if you touch the flowers or leaves.
Probably would have to ingest a significant quantity of the plant, for it to be fatal, but doesn't require much to cause nausea, stomach cramps, diarrhea and rapid heartbeat.
Enjoy, but don't touch!
According to the University of Florida :
"All parts of the plant are poisonous so care must be taken when locating Oleander near areas frequented by small children; burning of the trimmings will produce toxic fumes. Even chewing once or twice on a leaf or twig can send a person to the hospital."
Wow ! Who knew ?
Here is a link that might be useful: Nerium oleander: Oleander
OK, people need to chill out about oleanders. Yes, they're toxic, but unless you have a hungry cow in the yard or your kids are alwaysa gravitating to gnawing on shrub leaves in your backyard...
if all the "chicken littles" in the gardening world really stepped back, I think they'd stop getting close to angel trumpets, daffodils, calla lilies, dumbcanes, etc. too.

BP 1.2 & custom "add_submenu_page" : link broken
Hi, i'm trying BP 1.2 under WPMU 2.9.1.
Got a problem here with my custom plugin when I try to add a page to the BuddyPress menu of the admin panel :
The syntax is
add_submenu_page(parent, page_title, menu_title, capability required, file/handle, [function]);
In the core, an example will be
add_submenu_page( 'bp-general-settings', __( 'General Settings', 'buddypress'), __( 'General Settings', 'buddypress' ), 'manage_options', 'bp-general-settings', 'bp_core_admin_settings' );
But If I try to adapt this to my plugin
add_submenu_page( 'bp-general-settings', __('Classified3s %s','classified3s'), $name, 'manage_options', $bp->classified3s->slug, 'classified3s_admin_settings' );
It does not work.
The funtion classified3s_admin_settings() exists, and I've noticed that it's when I change the file/handle parameter that it's getting broken :
the URL become
instead of
any idea ?
- The topic 'BP 1.2 & custom "add_submenu_page" : link broken' is closed to new replies.

Sanity doesn't exist, it's just an excuse cooked up by crazy people to justify their actions. My myspace page: www.myspace.com/joemage
I know that it's been a while since I had last worked on this, but between tryin' ta research the gamma fuel source for my universe (of which I think that I may haveta make somethin' up), watchin' my niece and nephew for 2 weeks, and the holidays; I've jus' been really busy. Hope u'll forgive me. Anywho I think that I'd better get on wit the story and even though I'm feelin' under the weather; I need ta get this next installment in...
The Vertigo charged it's thrusters, rushing at the End and The Shadowed Thunder manuvered his MS down in an effort to dodge the coming attack. Kenneth manuvered his machine to grab it's beam rifle from it's housing and opened fire upon the End. Shadow then manuvered his machine to the right, dodging the incoming fire and returning fire with his machine gun.
"He has superior firepower on his side," thought Shadow, "and his mobile suit manuvers fairly well. This fight's going to be tougher than I thought. I need to, somehow, gain the upper hand."
Just then a light began blinking on his right view screen accompanied by a beeping sound. Shadow then maximized the smaller image on the screen ta encompass the whole view screen to see... A federation ship! "Ahh," Thought Shadow with a wry grin, "a federation ship has arrived and they've launched mobile fighters... Perfect."
Shadow then manuvered his suit into the direction of the incoming fighters, he then dipped under their incoming fire and manuvered left, gunning his thrusters towards his ship. Although some of the fighters broke off to pursue the End, the rest opened fire upon the Vertigo as it gave chase.
"What the h3ll?!" exclaimed Kenneth as manuvered up then into a downward loop to dodge the incoming fire.
"What is going on?!" exclaimed Franz, "Why are those fighters firing upon the Vertigo?!"
"The Vertigo has no recognition code," explained the technician, "so the federation doesn't know if it's friendly or foe."
"Well what are you waiting for?!" yelled Franz, "Transmit the code now!"
"Already done so, sir." replied the technician.
Just then, on the view screen, the image showed the fighters backing off of the Vertigo and they, along with the Vertigo, began pursuit of the End. But it was too late, the End had destroyed the original pursuit and had gotten to its ship. And the ship was now long gone.
"D@mn it!" exclaimed Kenneth as he pounded his fist upon the suit column.
Miyuki greeted Kenneth as he exited the cockpit of the Vertigo.
"You're okay!" She cried as she crashed into him, hugging him tightly.
"Ahhh... Yeah." Kenneth responded with a bewildering look on his face.
"They found your uncle," Miyuki explained, "He's fine. They have him in the lobby right now. Franz is meeting with the F.S.S. Nautilus's captain right now."
"F.S.S Nautilus?" Kenneth asked as he looked upon Miyuki inquisitively.
"They're the jerks from the feddie ship that attacked you." She explained, she then put her hands upon her hips, cocking one side out, and put an ignominious expression on her face ta accentuate her disappointment.
"Let's go see Franz and then we'll find my uncle," said Kenneth.
As they exited the launch room for the Vertigo, they entered the hallway to find the Franz engaged in conversation with a man wearing a federation uniform and Kenneth assumed that this must be the captain.
"Ahh, yes," Franz said as the two had gotten close them, "Allow me to introduce the pilot of the mobile suit that you had fired upon, captain. Mr. Kenneth Timbers. Kenneth this is Captain Aleh Hassan."
"Please allow me to apologize on behalf of my men," Capt. Hassan said as he turned to Kenneth and bowed, "We had mistaken you for an enemy, 'cause you had no identification code. Despite that we should have taken better caution and assessed the situation better before taking action."
"It's okay," replied Kenneth, "This sort of stuff happens all of the time when one is engaged in a conflict. There's no real need to apologize."
"Thank you for your understanding," said Capt. Hassan who then turned to Franz and said, "If you have that combat data already handy, my ship can escort it back to the federation so that they might get started on building some mobile suits right away. If we are successful, we may be able to bring an end to this terrible war."
"The data isn't fully complete, though," replied Franz, "We have barely enough data as it is, given the fact that the Vertigo's engagement didn't last long enough to get any suffecient details for recording."
"But still," replied the Captain, "This data should be suffecient enough to at least get started. If we need to, we can 'fill in the blanks later.' It's imparitive that we even the odds as soon as possible to force them to the negotiating table, so that the loss of life can be stemmed."
"Fine," said Franz, "I will make arrangements for a copy of the data to be available to you in time for your launch."
"Thank you," said the Captain, "Now if you'll excuse me." He then bowed, turned, and left.
"You really didn't want to give him that data," Kenneth so much as stated than asked, "Did you?"
"No," replied Franz, "The data is complete enough to allow the manufacturing of moblie suits, though, and my contract cannot allow me to keep the data or the Vertigo from them."
"So that ship was sent here to pick up the suits?" Kenneth asked.
"No," replied Franz, "It was serving as an escort for the ship that will carry the Vertigo, that federation officer, and the suit that she was supposed to pilot."
"Okay, so when is this ship supposed to be in?" Kenneth asked.
"Soon is all that I know," said Franz, "You know how these federation types are. Now I'm sure that you would like to check on your uncle, right?"
"Uncle!" exclaimed Kenneth as he bolted for the elevator to take him to the lobby.
Moments later...
"Uncle!" Kenneth yelled as he entered the lobby heading towards his uncle who was sitting comfortably in a chair across the room from him, "Are you okay? You're not injured, are you?"
"Now, now my boy," Jule said in a calm manner to reassure Kenneth that he was quite alright, "I'm fine. I lost track of you when the chaos hit, but was able to find adequate shelter in which to stay safe. Then these nice people found me and said that they knew where you were and they would take me to you." He had gestured to a group of Guhgenheim employees, as he said that, standing nearby.
"Thank you very much," said Kenneth as he bowed to them and they bowed in return.
"Ohh..." Said Jule as he looked at Miyuki, "Who's this lovely young lady?"
"I'm Miyuki Kurasawa," She replied, "I'm pleased to meet you."
"Oh no," said Jule as he stood up from his chair and removed his derby hat, "The pleasure is all mine."
"Oh a true gentleman," Miyuki said. She then smiled and winked at the old man which then caused him to blush.
"Uncle," interrupted Kenneth, "Let's head back to the hotel. It's been an interesting day and, I don't know about you, but I'm beat and would like some rest." He then turned to Miyuki and asked, "Do you have a place that we could escort you to?"
"Uuumm..." She replied with much hesitation in her voice.
"Then you'll stay with us!" Jule exclaimed.
"Uncle!" Kenneth yelled.
"Now Kenneth, have I not taught you to always be a gentleman?" Jule so much as stated then asked, "The girl is staying with us. She can have your bed."
"Then where in the h3ll am I supposed to sleep?!" Kenneth exclaimed.
"On the floor!" Jule yelled back.
Kenneth's shoulders just slumped in defeat and the three left for the hotel. Franz had watch the whole incident with a slight grin on his face, amused by the whole event. And as he watched them leave he thought, "I do not believe that your part in this tale is quite done, Mr. Timbers. No, not quite indeed."
To be continued...
Hope evry1 likes this installment of this story. I'll write more, hopefully, very soon. I'll also try to finish the drawing of Kenneth and his group as soon as I can. Later, guys.

Students hope to spark apology to Amerindians
Mighty oaks from little acorns grow.
An old saying, it came to mind as University of Minnesota lecturer Carter Meland talked to me about a thought-provoking video project of the 60 students in his introductory "American Indians in Minnesota" class.
Maybe the documentary they premier May 1 will in the end be little more than a classroom exercise. Or, maybe it will spark some kind of official, mighty-oak apology from the state of Minnesota.
At any rate, the exercise has already jump-started discussion among students about the tumultuous history of Indians in Minnesota, from their treatment after the bloody Dakota Conflict, to boarding schools for Indian children where they were often forbidden to speak their native language and many say stripped of their culture, to tribal land ownership issues.
Students earning required social justice and diversity credits are producing the 60-minute video that also explores a possible apology for what Meland calls "colonist policy and practices,'' as well as reparations to the state's Dakota and Ojibwe people, Meland explains. The public is invited to the premier, as well as Gov. Mark Dayton and University president Eric Kaler, though both are unable to attend. Find details at story's end....

I'm really stucked at my final stage of coding. I've created a custom button in lead section and i'm calling custom setting url in javascript code. It works very well in my developer organization but it fails when I installs this in other developer organization. Here is the code for your reference;
var uname = encodeURI('{!$Setup.UserDetails__c.UName__c}');
var ukey= encodeURI('{!$Setup.UserDetails__c.Sha1Key__c}');
var rurl= escape('/handleapprequest?email={!Lead.Email}&fname ={!Lead.FirstName}&lastname={!Lead.LastName}&company={!Lead.Company}');
window.open('{!$Setup.UserDetails__c.Url__c}login/' + uname + '/'+ ukey +'?returnurl='+rurl, 'Send Email', 'height=600,location=no,resizable=yes,toolbar=no,status=no,menubar=no,scrollbars=1', 1)
When I install my package to different developer organization, the button which executes onClick javascript, thows an exception 'A problem with the OnClick JavaScript for this button or link was encountered: Field Setup.UserDetails_c.UName_c does not exists check spelling'
Please, let me know what is going wrong here? I've already created Beta package and I can not change or remove code from my developer org. Thanks a lot.
