Hello. It appears that Erumaren is also interested in adopting the wikia. You two need to decide which one of you will get the rights and let me know.Loading editor

Hi there. I've recently filed a second adoption for the Homeworld Wiki. This time, I'm actually a sysop on the wiki and am the main (and only) contributor of the community, with virtually nobody else actually editing on a daily basis. As I'm already a sysop, I believe the adoption to be a formality for granting the bureaucrat rights: however, I've posted a discussion thread on the wiki, although I don't expect anyone to actually "post" in it. Thanks.Loading editor
Awesome -- sounds like you should be all set.Loading editor
Loading editor
On stickpage wiki Youlanda15 blocked me for a year for no reason and im the new founder of the wiki. Can you please block her, and unblock me and give me my rights back please Youlanda15 cant do this its not fair!Loading editor
You appear to have removed your own bureaucrat rights, which is why she was able to remove your admin rights and block you.
That said, User:Markxdxd is also a bureaucrat on that wikia - I suggest you talk to him and the rest of the community about getting the block removed and your rights restored.
You can send a message to Special:Contact to have the situation reviewed. But from what I can see, and from what I know of your recent arguments, this is something you guys need to sort out with each other.Loading editor
This reply has been removed
But Mark has left wikia forever it says it on his page. And the only way to get Youlanda to remove her bureaucrat rights was to take away mine. But she just got hers back though. Can uoi please give me mine back. I'm the rightful admin there not herLoading editor

blocked me for changing the info to correct info, i guess to many times. im going off Runescape.com, not what some random 12 year olds are trying to say, been playing since 1998..Loading editor
To report admin abuse, use Special:Contact/general.Loading editor
Uh no Skewb. IP user, I would suggest you talk to Iiiiiiiiiiiiiiii about it. I have pinged him about this issue, but he did not respond.Loading editor
Understood. Thanks.Loading editor
Generally speaking, constantly changing info back on a page without having a discussion about the issue is unproductive and not likely to work. The admin probably does not know why you keep changing the information to something he thinks is wrong.
Leaving a polite message for the admin or on the wikia's forum or in the comments on the page, and linking to your source for the information you wish to change, would be a better way to try to get the change made in this case.Loading editor

i am a big fan of revenge.
one admin has editied within the last three days but he does not and bureaucrat right.
i have made 60 edits in total on the wiki. so i would like administrator and bureaucrat rights on revenge abc wiki.

Hi, you need to go here to submit an adoption request.Loading editor
Please let the admin who has edited know you plan to adopt, and put the link to the conversation/post in the adoption request when you make it.Loading editor

Hello. I'm sorry, but Wikia generally does not interfere in local blocks. Admins can block people for any reason they want... or no reason at all. If Syalantillesfel does not wish to give these accounts a second chance then that is his right.
If users on the wikia do not like the way it is run, then they can hold a discussion/vote about demoting an admin. It needs to be held on the wikia itself. If the community agrees then we will help with the demotion, and we will help if the admin tries to block the discussion -- in both cases a request should be sent to Special:Contact.
Or alternately, there seem to be quite a few accounts on your list, assuming they are not all socks. Perhaps you guys could start your own wikia on the subject.Loading editor

Hey and thank you for responding to my request. I have been traveling pretty recently across the states and I have notified JustinCB this. I hope you understand. -AidenLoading editor
Great! Let me know when he responds or after a week if he does not, and keep editing as much as you can (I know it is hard when traveling).Loading editor

The tasty treat, liquorice has been known to be good for lowering blood pressure as well as aiding in digestion. Now, scientists think the candy may hold the key to beating the most lethal form of skin cancer.
By Catholic Online (NEWS CONSORTIUM)
Catholic Online (www.catholic.org)

Published in Health
Keywords: Liquorice, melanoma, research
LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - A compound has been found in liquorice root which has slowed the growth of cancer cells during laboratory tests. U.S. Scientists hope the tumor-busting compound can now be developed into a new drug to fight malignant melanoma.
Liquorice had been previously found to contain the anti-cancer chemical called glycyrrhizin. Attempts to turn it into a medicine have been hampered due to the fact that long-term consumption of glycyrrhizin can cause high blood pressure - even swelling on the brain.
University of Minnesota researchers have now found another ingredient, called Isoangustone A which has the same benefits, but without the dangerous side-effects.
Malignant remains the third most common cancer in people aged 15 to 39. Over-exposure to the sun's rays in the search of a perfect tan is the largest contributing factor. Since the mid-1990s, there has been a 24 percent increase in cases.
Scientific evidence has suggested that even a few early bouts of sunburn in childhood can be enough to trigger the cellular changes in moles that lead to skin cancer later in life. Cells within moles become cancerous and start to divide, spreading through the entire body.
The disease has had a very high death rate due to the fact that the cancer has often spread by the time patients seek help. New drugs have emerged that appear to halt the spread of tumors by "resetting" the immune system so that it is able to attack malignant cells.
Scientists extracted Isoangustone A from liquorice root and applied it to skin cancer cells in the laboratory. The compound slowed down the rate at which melanoma cells reproduce, by partially blocking the release of certain proteins needed for them to flourish.
When the scientists gave the extract to lab mice with skin cancer, the compound had the same effect - suppressing growth of the tumor.
Liquorice is already a popular remedy for cold sores and a balm made from the root can reduce the severity of outbreaks.
However - too much liquorice can be harmful. A Scottish study found children born to women who ate over 100 grams a week during pregnancy performed worse in intelligence tests at school and the harmful compound glycyrrhizin was blamed.

Episode 39 — That quote: about the missing transitional fossils
Creationist often use quotes by evolutionists which discredit their own belief system. This raises the ire of many in the evolutionary establishment, and often they will accuse creationists of 'taking their remarks out of context'. Richard and Calvin discuss a particularly damning quote by a famous evolutionist and show how it is often evolutionists that are muddying the waters surrounding this issue and not creationists.

- Did you know 'Lucy' isn't the missing link?
- Are there any Transitional Fossils?
- The links are missing
- Snakes with legs?

Support Washougal school levies
Support Washougal school levies
Coal, oil train hazards are not worth the risk The explosion Dec. 30 in North Dakota of an oil train was the third major oil train accident in the last 6 months.
Quality public education benefits all The dust has settled since the November election and as we head into a new year, I am thankful to the citizens of Camas who voted for me. Although I didn't win a director seat on the Camas School Board, I did appreciate the opportunity to seek the position representing the Camas community. My husband Ryan has been so supportive and patient and our three daughters have learned so much from my experience including the notion that in life we do the right thing, even if it is the hard thing.
Vote no on ECFR proposition I recently had the opportunity to meet with Martha Martin who is running to retain her commissioner seat with East County Fire & Rescue Position 4. I know Martha to be an honest, caring, and concerned citizen of Camas-Washougal through her previous involvement with numerous local organizations.
Smith, Hogan are good for Camas Camas is a solid, forward thinking and prosperous community. One of the reasons for this is their progressive form of government that includes an experienced, balanced and most importantly, stable, City Council. With keeping a deep bench of good, hard working members of the community, Camas can be looked at as a model for other communities. Two of Camas' Council are up for re-election this November, Councilman Steve Hogan and Councilwoman Melissa Smith. I know both of these people well and admire them a great deal.
Washougal Prop. 1 would be an expensive mistake Proposition No. 1 in Washougal's upcoming election proposes a new and expensive city manager position to lead Washougal's municipal government. I believe it is a costly mistake promoted for the wrong reasons.
Martin is an asset to ECFR board Voting for a fire district commissioner has always been a bit of a mystery to me in that they, the commissioners, are of rather low profile in the political arena. They just quietly do their job in support of the many dedicated fire and rescue professionals.
Martha Martin is the right choice for ECFR Your Sept. 24 editorial sheds necessary light on an awkward situation at East County Fire & Rescue. No one argues that the work of ECFR is crucial and essential. However, it's just as essential to question how much money — tax money — an organization needs to do its work.
Accusations make no sense
Smith wants to improve the community Why is someone from Ridgefield writing about a Camas city council candidate? Well, over the past few months I have been able to observe Melissa Smith through her service on the Regional Transportation Council.

ACL Stretches
The Anterior Cruciate Ligament is one of a pair of ligaments in the knee and tearing them is one of the most common knee injury that happens in ANY sport, but especially Soccer and Football where you plant your foot and pivot with your knee. The ACL is crucial for stabilizing the knee when turning or planting the leg. An ACL injury can not alwas be prevented but your chances of one can be lessened if you stretch well before and after practices and games. There is a new Handout (found in the Handouts section) from, Brett Siebenkittel, lead physical therapist at Allgehany Regional in Low Moor of warm-up and cool down exercises that can easily be done to help prevent ACL injury.

How to read the calendar.
12/19/2014: Therea re no tabes currently on the calendar. Tabs will be resurrected once there is a need for them.
Hey there all! I know, I know, we all know how to read a calendar but, as the Fall soccer season is about to be upon us (for some of you, it already is!) and the calendar is getting jammed up pretty quickly. So, for those that are new to the site or just would like a refresher course, I am typing this up. For the calendar, I have it broken down into subcategories. At the bottom of the calendar, you can select which categories you wish to see and it will show you only those. So, if Little Billy is on a U6 team and you need to see his schedule, you go to the calendar, scroll to the bottom and first, deselect the "All events Categories" then, find where it says "U6 Games" and select that, then press the "Redisplay Events" button. VIOLA! You have all the U6 Games and ONLY the U6 games on the calendar. Unless stated, all the games are played at Jackson River Sports Complex so that is NOT listed on the calendar (takes up too much room) but, to find out what field you are going to be playing on, just go up to the appropriate game and select it and it will show you the field (as well as directions to the JRSC in case you want to invite anyone from out of town.) . And, that is it. Nice and simple and the subcategories keep the calendar a little bit cleaner. Thank you!

(1) Field of the Invention
The present invention relates generally to a permanent locating system that may be used to selectively access wellbore sections and/or for other purposes. In a more particular embodiment, the present invention is especially suitable to provide reliable and repeatable downhole whipstock orientation.
(2) Description of the Prior Art
It is often desirable, in both cased and open hole, to branch off one or more times from an existing wellbore or to sidetrack away from an object such as a fish or toward an object such as a revised geological target. A whipstock may be used as a guide for the drill bit or mill in creating the new borehole sections, casing windows, and the like, so that the new borehole section is oriented in the desired direction. The whipstock is anchored in the wellbore at the desired depth at which the new well is to be kicked off. The bit or mill engages the generally metallic whipstock face or surface that is typically angled so as to urge the bit or mill in a desired direction. In this manner, it is well known that the mill or drill bit is thereby directed to mill or drill in the direction intended for the new wellbore section. The whipstock face may be left in the existing wellbore to guide the drill string, production string, and the like into the new borehole section.
However, at some time after the new wellbore branch is drilled, it may be desirable to obtain access to the original borehole such as with a drill string or production string. Moreover after gaining access to the original borehole once again, sometime later it may be desirable to reliably obtain access once again to the new wellbore branch with a drill string and/or production string. Moreover, there may be multiple branches in the wellbore and it may be desirable to be able to reliably and selectively obtain access to any one of them. In the past, bent drill strings and subs have been used for this purpose, but often with little success. Generally, obtaining access to the various sections of the wellbore has been unreliable at best.
Consequently, it would be desirable to provide a system and method that is designed to reliably and consistently control access to any branch or borehole section as desired. Those skilled in the art will appreciate the present invention that addresses the above and other needs and problems.
Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide an improved location system and method. It is yet another object of the present invention to provide an improved system and method for reliably obtaining access to any wellbore branch or section.
It is yet another object of the present invention to provide a permanent downhole depth and orientation reference which does not prevent re-entry into the mother wellbore. These and other objects, features, and advantages of the present invention will become apparent from the drawings, the descriptions given herein, and the appended claims.
Therefore, in accordance with the present invention, a method is disclosed for providing a reference in a borehole to a selectable depth and selectable orientation, comprising one or more steps such as positioning a reference sleeve within the borehole, expanding the reference sleeve radially outwardly within the borehole at the selectable depth and with the selectable angular orientation such that the reference member fixably engages the borehole so as to be mounted in the borehole. Preferably the reference sleeve internal diameter increases as the reference sleeve expands radially outwardly so as to permit larger diameter elements to extend there through if needed.
Other steps may include providing a whipstock assembly to be removably engagable with the reference sleeve, and/or providing the whipstock assembly with mating surfaces to the reference sleeve such that when the whipstock assembly is engaged with the reference sleeve, then the whipstock assembly is positioned at the selectable depth and the selectable orientation.
In a preferred embodiment, the method may include one or more steps such as forming a new borehole section, removing the whipstock assembly, and leaving the reference sleeve within the borehole.
If it is desired to return to the original borehole, the method may include extending a pipe string past the new borehole section and through the reference sleeve. If it is then desired to return to the new borehole section, then the method may include steps such as mounting the same or equivalent whipstock assembly in the reference sleeve, and extending a pipe string into the new borehole section.
In a presently preferred embodiment the method includes the step of providing that the reference sleeve has sufficient length and hence sufficient contact area to securely affix the reference sleeve in the borehole as a result of the step of expanding.
To expand as desired, the method may provide that the reference sleeve is formed as a tubular spring. The method may then comprise compressing the reference sleeve radially inwardly in a running position, and securing the reference sleeve in the running position. At the desired borehole position, the method may further comprise releasing the reference sleeve from the running position such that the reference sleeve springs radially outwardly.
In one embodiment, the method may further comprise providing one or more reference slots in the reference sleeve for the selectable orientation, and providing one or more keys on the whipstock assembly for engaging the one or more slots for positioning the whipstock assembly at the selectable orientation. In this case, the method may also comprise guiding the one or more keys into the one or more slots with one or more guide surfaces.
Thus, an assembly is provided for selectively entering a first borehole section or a second borehole section which may comprise one or more elements such a tubular reference sleeve which is moveable between a radially closed running position and a radially open anchoring position. Preferably, the tubular reference has a smaller outer diameter in the running position so as to be movable within the first borehole. The tubular reference sleeve engages a wall of the first borehole section in the anchoring position. One or more orientation surfaces may be provided on the tubular reference sleeve such that the one or more orientation surfaces are moveable radially outwardly in the open anchoring position.
In a preferred embodiment, the tubular reference sleeve forms a spring which is expanded in the radially open position.
The assembly may further comprise a whipstock assembly having one or more mating surfaces for engaging the one or more orientation surfaces on the tubular reference sleeve. The whipstock assembly may be removably mountable to the reference sleeve. Preferably, the reference sleeve is engagable with the borehole along a length sufficient for affixing the reference sleeve within the borehole in the anchoring position. In other words, a method may be provided for selectively entering one of a plurality of borehole sections comprising one or more steps such as radially expanding a reference sleeve to affix the reference sleeve in a first borehole section, and providing a whipstock engagable with the reference sleeve to permit entry into a second borehole section.
Additional steps may include removing the whipstock from the reference sleeve to provide for entry into the first borehole section and/or subsequently replacing the whipstock within the reference sleeve to provide for entry into the second borehole section. Other steps may preferably include providing the reference sleeve and the whipstock with mating engagement surfaces such that the whipstock is oriented when the whipstock engages the reference sleeve.
A more complete understanding of the invention and many of the attendant advantages thereto will be readily appreciated as the same becomes better understood by reference to the following detailed description when considered in conjunction with the accompanying drawings wherein corresponding reference characters indicate corresponding parts throughout the drawing and wherein:
FIG. 1 is an elevational view of an embodiment of a reference sleeve in the running mode in accord with the present invention;
FIG. 2 is an elevational view of the embodiment of the reference sleeve from FIG. 1 in the anchoring mode in accord with the present invention;
FIG. 3 is an elevational view, of a whipstock assembly with a key for mating to the reference sleeve of FIG. 2;
FIG. 4 is an elevational view of an original borehole and a new borehole section branching from the original borehole with a whipstock assembly and locating sleeve for directing pipe strings into the new borehole section; and
FIG. 5 is an elevational view showing the whipstock assembly removed to permit entry of a pipe string into the original borehole.
Referring now to the drawings and, more particularly to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, there is shown a reference sleeve 10 in accord with the locating system of the present invention. Reference sleeve 10 is preferably expandable and may preferably form a tubular spring. In the running mode, as shown in FIG. 1, reference sleeve 10 is compressed and maintained in a compressed position to thereby fit easily into the wellbore. Once reference sleeve 10 is positioned at the desired location in the borehole and oriented in a desired azimuth angle, then reference sleeve 10 is released to expand as indicated in FIG. 2. In the expanded position, outer surface 12 expands in diameter to thereby engage the wellbore. The position of slot 14 provides a permanent angular reference. The well depth position of reference sleeve 10 forms a permanent depth reference at surface 15 shown in FIG. 2 as discussed hereinafter. One or more reference sleeves 10 may be used for reliably controlling access to various borehole sections and branches from the original borehole, as discussed in more detail subsequently. The reference sleeve 10 may be used in cased hole or open hole, as desired, although in open hole it may be desirable to locate reference sleeve 10 within a consolidated formation to thereby secure reference sleeve 10 within the borehole.
Thus, the above describes the general concept of a presently preferred embodiment of the present invention that includes a reference sleeve. Various means, as desired, may be used to maintain reference sleeve 10 in the running mode and various means may be used for releasing or expanding reference sleeve 10 to engage and be anchored within the borehole. For instance, surface 16 and 18 which define slot 14 and slot 19 once reference sleeve 10 is expanded as shown in FIG. 2. Preferably in the region of slot 19, surfaces 16 and 18 may be tack welded together, bolted, pinned, disposed in a containment sleeve, or otherwise held together in the running position as shown in FIG. 1. In a presently preferred embodiment, surface 16 and 18 are tack welded in the region of slot 19 so that tack welds such as tack welds 21 do not interfere with the surface of slot 14 to permit key 30 of FIG. 3 to slide easily therein as discussed subsequently. Once at the desired position, various forces such as hydraulic force from well pumps, mechanical force from a well string, explosive force, or other means such as an inflatable packer may be used for releasing reference sleeve 10, e.g., by breaking tack welds 21. Reference sleeve 10 preferably is a tubular spring or effectively a C-spring in cross-section, and which preferably springs or moves radially outwardly to engage the borehole upon release. The elastic spring force of reference sleeve 10 then forcefully engages the borehole to grip the borehold wall. A sufficient number of closing elements, such as tack welds 21, are used to prevent the possibility of reference sleeve 10 opening prematurely so there is no risk of opening prior to the time reference sleeve is intentionally opened.
The expansion of the preferred embodiment reference sleeve 10 is a useful feature. During the expansion process, the minimum internal diameter 20 or minimum restriction through reference sleeve 10 actually increases thereby permitting larger pipe strings to pass through reference sleeve 10, if desired. Thus, reference sleeve 10, in a presently preferred embodiment, has a greater minimum internal diameter in the anchoring position than in the running position.
Outer surface 12 of reference sleeve 10, may include locking elements (not shown) such as slips, gripping elements, studs, and the like to secure reference sleeve solidly in position within the borehole. In one embodiment, spikes (not shown) may be provided within an interior of reference sleeve 10 and may be extended into an open hole formation by running a tool or drill string or whipstock anchor assembly end portion through reference sleeve 10 to thereby push the spikes into the wellbore. Gripping or locking elements may be more important in open hole rather than cased hole although they may be used for either. If desired, gripping elements may be placed mainly or exclusively lower portions of reference sleeve such as in the region of 27 but gripping elements could be positioned wherever reference sleeve 10 engages the borehole.
The length of reference sleeve 10 may be adjusted as necessary to increase the surface area that engages the wellbore to thereby increase the anchoring and gripping power of reference sleeve 10. Thus, reference sleeve 10 may be designed to have a sufficient vertical length to provide secure fastening of reference sleeve 10 within the borehole.
Reference sleeve 10 preferably includes guide surfaces such as inclined guide surfaces 26 and 28. If a downhole tool with a key such as key 30 shown on whipstock assembly 32 in FIG. 3 encounters either guide surface 26 or 28, then key 30 will be guided into slot 14 to thereby rotationally orient an azimuth of whipstock assembly 32. Key 30 then stops at surface 15 of slot 14 so that surface 15 of slot 14 forms a permanent depth reference for whipstock assembly 32. If whipstock assembly 32 is removed from the borehole, reference sleeve 10 will preferably remain anchored in position. Then later if a whipstock assembly, such as whipstock assembly 32, is once again run into the borehole then guide surfaces 26 and 28 will again guide key 30 into slot 14 so that the whipstock assembly is oriented in the same direction and at the same depth. In this manner, reference sleeve 10 facilitates entry into a new wellbore section, as discussed in more detail subsequently.
It will be understood that such terms as "up," "down," "vertical," and the like, are made with reference to the drawings and/or the earth and that the inventive devices may not be arranged in such positions at all times depending on variations in operation, transportation, and the like. It will also be understood that the drawings are intended to describe the concepts of the invention so that the presently preferred embodiments of the invention will be plainly disclosed to one of skill in the art but are not intended or required to be manufacturing level drawings or renditions of final products and therefore may include simplified conceptual views as desired for easier and quicker understanding or explanation of the invention. As well, the relative size and relative dimensions of the components may be greatly different from that shown. Moreover, while an angled borehole 22, with respect to the vertical, is shown in FIG. 4 and FIG. 5 for purposes of explanation, it will be understood that borehole 22 may or may not involve angled boreholes, i.e., deviated boreholes.
FIG. 3 discloses an example of a whipstock assembly, such as whipstock assembly 32, that may be used in combination with reference sleeve 10. Whipstock assembly 32 may preferably include an anchor section 34 and a whipstock 36. Whipstock anchor section 34 may include slips 38 or other means such as gripping elements, expandable elements, packers, and the like, to secure whipstock 36 in position within the borehole. Whipstock 36 may include slot 37 or other means for latching onto whipstock 36 for removal purposes, if desired.
A preferred embodiment of the present invention includes mating end or bull nose 40 which is sized to mate with interior 20 of reference sleeve 10. End 40 may be made as an integral part of whipstock assembly 32 or may be attached thereto with pins, threads, bolts, or the like. Key 30 is guided by guide surfaces 26 and 28 of reference sleeve 10 into slot 14 as discussed above. Whipstock assembly 32 and reference sleeve 10 may be initially run together or not depending on the design but are preferably separable such that whipstock assembly 32 may be retrieved from the wellbore, if desired, leaving reference sleeve 10 anchored in the borehole to provide a future depth and orientation reference when needed. In a presently preferred embodiment, reference sleeve 10 is set in the wellbore prior to running whipstock assembly 32 such as by inflating a packer. The packer is then deflated and removed. Then whipstock assembly 32 is inserted into reference sleeve 10 such that key 30 is guided into slot 14 and stops on slot bottom surface 15.
FIG. 4 shows locating sleeve 10 in position with anchor section 34 positioned therein and whipstock 36 oriented by means of key 30 such that whipstock face (unnumbered) may be used to guide a drill string, production string, milling string, or the like, for forming and entering new borehole section 41 which extends from original borehole section 22. In FIG. 4, whipstock assembly 32 is preferably anchored by expanding means such as slips 38. It is well known that with whipstock 36 positioned correctly that it is possible to reliably enter into new borehole section 41. However, in some cases, it may be desirable to go back into the original wellbore 22. In accord with the present invention, whipstock assembly 32 including anchor section 34 and whipstock 36 may be removed as indicated in FIG. 5. The large internal diameter of reference sleeve 10 permits pipe string 42, which may be a production string, drill string, or the like, to pass through reference sleeve 10 into original borehole 22.
However, at some later time, perhaps years later, it may be desirable to reenter new borehole section 41. In that case, whipstock assembly 32 or an equivalent may be run back into the wellbore and will be guided into the same exact position as suggested by FIG. 4. Thus, FIG. 4 may represent both an initial and/or a later positioning of whipstock assembly 32 within reference sleeve 10. In the past, to reposition a whipstock assembly into a previous position has been difficult, inaccurate, and time consuming.
In a preferred embodiment, the inner diameter of reference sleeve 10 after expansion may in many cases be in the range of only ten to twenty percent less than the original inner diameter of the borehole. However, depending on hole conditions, types of casing, and the like this range may vary widely in particular cases. As one typical example, the casing may be 9⅝ inches outer diameter, and approximately 8� inches inner diameter depending on the casing weight. In such as case, the inner diameter of reference sleeve 10 may be approximately 7� inches. Since the restriction created by reference sleeve 10 is typically only slightly smaller than the casing in which reference sleeve 10 may be positioned, no obstruction and/or re-entry problems are created. For instance, if desired to drill further in the mother borehole section, a bicentered or offset bit may be used to thereby drill a hole that is the same size or perhaps larger than the inner diameter of the casing.
The present invention may provide for multiple reference sleeves 10 within the borehole. If desired, key 30 may be run in a retracted position so as to permit whipstock assembly 32 to pass through a plurality of reference sleeves 10 and then be extended to engage a particular desired reference sleeve 10 in the manner discussed above. For instance, key 30 may be biased inwardly during running and then hydraulic pressure or other powering means may be used to extend and lock key 30 into position. Breakable pins and/or other means could be used to retrack key 30 again when it is desired to retrieve whipstock assembly 32 through multiple reference sleeves 10. Thus, the present invention may be used in wells with multiple branches and multiple reference sleeves 10.
While one preferred embodiment of the present invention utilizes a whipstock assembly, the present invention provides other important and highly useful reference functions. As one example, when perforating deep wells especially when casing collars are at closely equal lengths, wireline stretch can make determination of the position of the perforating gun difficult. Typically, a correlation log, such as a gamma ray and/or neutron log is run prior to perforating with a collar locator to indicate collar positions relative to the formation zone to be perforated. The reference sleeve of the present invention will provide a very convenient and clear marking in even deep boreholes that adds great confidence that the perforating gun is positioned correctly while significantly reducing collar correlation time. It is well known that perforating out of zone requires extensive rig time to repair. The use of the present invention, effectively obviates the likelihood that a well will be perforated out of zone with the resulting damages and costs involved.
In summary, reference sleeve 10 may be run separately or in conjunction with whipstock assembly 32. In one embodiment, reference sleeve 10 might be run with an expandable packer. The combination may be oriented by means known in the prior art. Once oriented, reference sleeve 10 is expanded such as by breaking the tack welds that hold reference sleeve 10 in the running position such that outer walls 12 engage the borehole such as original borehole 22. Whipstock assembly 32 is then run into the hole, inserted into reference sleeve 10, and whipstock 36 is oriented by key 30 going into slot 14. Slips 38 on whipstock assembly 32 may then be set to anchor the whipstock assembly in position. The new borehole section 41 may be milled, drilled, and used as desired. If re-entry into original borehole section 22 is desired, then whipstock assembly 32 may be removed, which may involve shearing pins to release the slips. With whipstock assembly 32 removed, a pipe string may be run through the large inner diameter of expanded reference sleeve 10. Subsequently, if desired to go back into new borehole section 41, even years later, then whipstock assembly 32 can be run back into the hole, engage reference sleeve 30, whereby key 30 orients whipstock 36 directly and reliably towards new borehole section 41. Thus, the present invention may be used at multiple positions within the wellbore, if desired. Any branch or section of the wellbore can be reliably reentered as desired.
While the discussion above relates to using an expandable reference sleeve 10 such as tubular spring or a C-spring when viewed in cross-section, other means may be used to expand reference sleeve 10 such as hydraulics, multiple hinged sections through which a sleeve is used to compress the sections outwardly, or other means to expand reference sleeve 10 as desired.
Thus, numerous variations of the above system and method are possible, some of which have already been described. Therefore, it will be understood that many additional changes in the details, materials, steps and arrangement of parts, may be made by those skilled in the art within the principle and scope of the invention as expressed in the appended claims.

Hide & Seek – The Great Escape
An action-packed Event
June 19, 2015
+++ Attention, attention! Security Warning! +++
Three dangerous criminals have escaped from Brick-City's high-security prison. The criminals are unarmed, but have stolen great amounts of Warpies and Healing Potions from the prison supplies. Brick-Soldiers have been deployed to take care of the situation. Civilians are advised to only leave their houses when they have to! A high reward will be given to those who manage to get a hold of the criminals. The Brick-Army is requesting your help in finding Kalchas, Clone117 and boopboop.
Prizes and Rewards
Players, who manage to find the escapists and achieve one K.O. with a melee weapon, receive a one-time reward of 3 Elite Weapon Gems.
In addition, at the end of the event, one player from all those who were successful will be picked randomly. This player receives the main prize, a weapon of their choice.
Please note: Finding and killing the hidden escapists more than once has no effects on the chance of winning the main prize. All prizes will be delivered during the week following the event.
Event Rules
- Camping near the targets' spawn points in order to get a quick hit will not be counted as a valid K.O., and the player will be banned from the competition.
Players, who break Infernum's ToS will not receive any prize and might have to face severe additional consequences.
Event Timeframe
- Start: Saturday, 20th June, 3pm CEST
- End: Saturday, 20th June, 6pm CEST
Especially for our US players, there will be an extra round
from 3pm to 5pm CST (11pm to 1am CEST)with the escapist boopboop.
Unfortunately, the extra round for North American players needs to be postponed. It will take place on Sunday 21 June from 3pm to 5pm CST instead.
Rockscape by apple2018
A dangerous Journey
June 17, 2015
Once upon a time, there lived a small group of Brick people in a nameless valley. It was quite picturesque: A little river flowed through flower meadows, which were regularly flooded during autumn time; there was an abundance of everything, and the weather was always beautiful. But this paradisiac environment came at a high price. Every few decades, heavy earthquakes threatened the land. One after the next, the people left the valley until only very few were left.
When a particularly heavy earthquake had destroyed almost everything around them, the remaining inhabitants saw no other way but to leave their beloved home. They decided to venture alongside the few rocks that were left and to climb a steep hill, whose top was said to harbour a mysterious portal placed there eons ago by the gods. None, who had gone through ever returned, so it was shrouded in legend. But the brick people saw no other way and got ready to take the dangerous path up to the top. In order to honour their audacious mission, they named the remaining pieces of the valley "Rockscape".

Not profiteering
Not everyone in Miami is out for their own benefit--at least not from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. Wednesday, April 24 when The Young Associates of Coral Gables Museum throws the launch of a Night with Non-Profits, a semi-annual series of networking events raising awareness and funds for local charities. The inaugural event at The Hoxton, 1111 SW 1st Ave., will raise funds for twelve--count 12--selfless organizations. Attendees will learn about each and will be able to add a gift to their food and beverage tab for the charity of their choice. Each donor will receive a blinking red pin to indicate their support ever so subtly. Or is it? "By the end of the night, I hope to stand on the balcony of the Hoxton and see a sea of red lights," said Young Associates president Christina Mas. "It would be an incredibly inspiring testament to all the support in our community." The event is open to the public with a suggested door donation of $10.
Taking Sweatstock
Keep your Lindsay Lohan infested Coachella and give us Sweatstock, Sweat Records' 4th annual block party taking place from 9 a.m.—yes a.m.—to 2 a.m. Saturday, April 20 at 5505 NE 2nd Ave. On the agenda: local music, food, and vinyl other than the kind a Hello Kitty loving hipster may be wearing on his or her person. Among the headliners performing on both the Churchill's Main Stage and the Back Patio Stage: Otto Von Schirach, ANR, Beat Machines, The Heart Electric, Astrokats, Komakozie and so many more. GastroPod, Ms. Cheezious, Veggie Xpress and Roc Kat Ice Cream Co. will feed the hungry crowds while Brian Butler of The Upper Hand art will be showing off his, er, handy work.
Making Waves
While the Miami surf may be in dire need of wave-making Viagra, the surfer scene in the city is about to get a major boost by the appearance of the King of the Surf Guitar, the legendary, one and only Dick Dale, who performs at 8 p.m. on Thursday, April 25 at Grand Central, 697 N. Miami Ave. For those just looking to get their ears wet on the music for the first time, Dale invented the inimitable surf music back in the 50s. His playing style is as tubular as Kelly Slater's badass big barrels. Hear for yourself. Tickets are $20 in advance at http://ticketfly.com/event/226547 or $25 at the door.
Station Identification
Though we reported a few weeks ago that RADIO, 814 1st St. was a pop-up bar through August, new owner Keith Menin decided to make the station—er, bar, a permanent fixture on the scene and isn't changing formats anytime soon. Just added, however, are new cocktails, a full "Snack Bar" menu and a pizza oven to serve up slices catered by Menin Hotels' PIZZA BAR. About those cocktails, they're the real deal, shaken and stirred by master mixologist and James Beard nominee, Craig Schoettler from Chicago's acclaimed Drumbar and previously The Aviary. Among Schoettler's poisons: signature punch bowls that serve up to 8 people ($125). Signature drinks are $12. RADIO is also adding a new Happy Hour with 2-4-1 signature cocktails from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. Tune in and tune out.
