Mountain weather...a soaring pilot's dream.
Truckee is located within the Sierra Nevada mountains, and its weather is typically a soaring pilot's dream: strong thermals, occasional wave, high cloudbases. Climbs to 14k MSL are normal during the summer soaring season, with 18k MSL reachable on many days. If your ship is not equipped with oxygen, you might consider getting that installed before you come up. Soar Truckee offers on-site oxygen refills for gliders only.
Truckee is just over the ridge from the Carson Valley of Nevada and shares many of the same weather influences as world-renowned Minden. The soaring forecasts prepared for the Reno/Minden area are quite accurate for Truckee as well. The weather links on this page will help you prepare for your Sierra soaring adventure!

Truckee is a wonderful place to fly from with a glider. And the special people and the beautiful surroundings make the glider site a delightful place to be. Being at the hidden end of the airport blends the convenience of nearby civilization with the remote atmosphere of living in contact with nature, among the pine trees, the chipmunks, and the birds that wake you up in the morning.
Because of its position in a valley that is of the right dimensions, not too small, not too wide, Truckee enjoys early starts and a great variety of choices, to the south, to the north, and to the east. On most days there are clouds everywhere, high bases, just follow the clouds and you can fly far and make it easily home. However on many days the clouds will begin to disappear at the Pine Nuts coming from the south, at the Pah Rah Range coming from the northeast, at Adams Peak coming from the north. Making it back through mountain ranges with blue skies and wind on the nose is challenged by objective difficulties that need local knowledge to overcome. One will learn them all (the difficulties) in a few flights but to abbreviate the learning curve (to overcome them) I will report here some useful information.
I will assume that one is flying a 40:1 ship like a Discus or an LS4. For other glider types, make your own adjustments. I will assume that everybody keeps in the flight computer a 1,000' margin altitude above the designated landing spot, so that, if you have 0 (zero) altitude indicated in the flight computer, it means that you will arrive in Truckee with 1,000' above the runway. Further, I will assume that everybody knows how to correctly execute a final glide and a note on this is at the end of this writing. Finally, all this is valid with the normal west wind flow, which blows at 8 to 15 knots I would say 95% of the time. If not, just fly the weather you see.
Returning from the south Sierra (Tioga Pass etc.). If you are lucky enough to find a good day in the Sierra, you will be coming back ecstatic, euphoric, perhaps a little bit cold but happy. The clouds will normally guide you to Freel Peak. From there, Lake Tahoe must be crossed for its full length. If you have 14,000' or more you can make it home without problems. Stay in the middle of the lake and check your glide to Truckee continuously. I like to start with at least 1000' above glide, better 1,500' or 2,000'. During the glide we also have to monitor our altitude with respect to the east ridge of the Tahoe basin. If in doubt, move slightly to the east to be closer to the ridge and able to cross it to escape to the Minden or Carson City airports, and to the numerous fields in that valley if your margin back to Truckee becomes uncomfortable. As an encouragement, note also that Spooner Pass is 2,000' lower than the ridge tops.
A word on tactic: in the last 20 or 30 miles south of Freel Peak the clouds begin to rarefy, lift is not as strong and is more difficult to find. Better be conservative and stay high, to avoid a long search under the last few clouds (normally there are no clouds over the lake). On the other hand the glide over the lake is pretty smooth, with occasional stretches of mild lift and sink with little effect on the glide. Also there is no need of a special calculation regarding crossing the north rim of the lake. If you can make it to Truckee, you have the same altitude clearance at the ridge.
Returning from the south desert (Sweetwater Range, Mt. Patterson). The best location for gaining the altitude needed to make it back is at the south end of the Pine Nuts, called Bald Mountain. With 14,000' it is possible to make the 50 miles glide to Truckee. If there are no clouds on Bald Mountain, that's the spot to try anyway, it is usually working. There are often other gliders, look up. Trust your computer, and if possible climb higher to have a better margin and fly faster. In the Minden valley (you pass almost over the Minden airport) many times there are no clouds. There may be some sink and also some lift. Often the lift and the sink alternate at a regular distance, indicating presence of wave. The secondary wave may be of useful strength and it will manifest itself approximately at the crossing of Highway 395, the primary is pretty close to the Lake Tahoe ridge. Look up searching for other gliders (they will look very high) and remember that to get into wave you are better be no lower than the ridge.
Expect to lose about 1,000' in the last 3 miles before crossing the east ridge of the Tahoe basin. However after crossing the ridge and entering the lake there is reduced sink and some of that loss can be regained. Here too it is not necessary to make a special calculation about crossing the ridge at the north of the lake, since you have almost the same clearance as the arrival altitude in Truckee. Once inside the Truckee valley, there is plenty of good lift everywhere.
Tactic: From Mt. Patterson going north to the Pine Nuts, clouds and lift become weaker and lower. Better be conservative and stay high, or there is the risk to work for a long time at Bald Mountain to climb enough to make it back. One may think to continue north on the Pine Nuts, gaining distance towards Truckee. Distance is gained, that's right, but the top altitude is lower and lower and not enough to cross towards Truckee also because the west wind becomes more and more on the nose. At that point, better go back to Bald Mountain, and at times even more back toward Mt. Patterson to finally get the altitude to make it to Truckee. However if there are well developed clouds in the Minden valley, then they should work fine and reentry is a piece of cake.
Before giving up and landing in Minden or Carson City, a good pilot experienced in ridge soaring can try and go straight to the Kingsbury Grade gap, run the east Lake Tahoe ridge all the way to the Spooner Summit, and from there reach Sergio's Elevator, gaining there those 500' or 1,000' that allow getting to Truckee. However to be effective the Elevator needs 12 to 15 or more knots of wind perpendicular to the ridge, with the direction of the wind made evident by the wavelets in the lake. Just keep always above the ridge or high enough to reach the Spooner Pass gap as an escape route back to Minden or Carson City. As an encouragement, note that Spooner Pass is 2,000' lower than the ridge tops around it. Increase speed by 5/10 knots and be careful if climbing Spooner Summit, since a smaller ridge upwind produces turbulence and sudden shifts in the flow.
Another (long) way of making it back is going to Rawe Peak at the north end of the Pine Nuts, then all the way to Air Sailing, Reno Stead, Peavine, Verdi Peak and home. It is often doable, it will take two hours but one avoids the tow retrieve and gains in flying more time and more distance.
Coming from the east (Derby etc., passing south of Pyramid Lake) there are two ways to reach Truckee: one is to go along the Virginia Mountains ridge that delineates the northern side of the valley from Carson City toward Dayton and Silver Spring. This ridge is usable when clouds are present, and of sufficient altitude to cross toward Truckee above or to the south of Mt. Rose. The clouds on that ridge often end at Virginia City.
The other way is go to the towers of Virginia Peak on the Pah Rah Range, and from there negotiate another final glide of almost 50 miles, passing above the Reno airspace. If sufficient altitude to do that is not achieved, one will deflect to Reno Stead and try to make it back to Truckee from Peavine Peak.
Coming from the north east (Gerlach etc., passing north of Pyramid Lake) one will go to the Tule Peak and then the Dogskin Mtn. There is a range of high hills aligned between Air Sailing and Reno Stead that is a natural producer of thermals with the highest point, called Hungry Mtn the most active. And there is the isolated Freds Mtn just to the north of it which is higher and sometimes a better producer of lift.
From here one jumps (or crawls) to the Peavine and this is almost a guaranty of making it back since there is consistently good lift there that takes you to sufficient altitude for a final glide. However at the end of weak days and with the wind on the nose at times one has to work hard to fight his/her way from Peavine to Verdi Peak, and then home. If one is level with the Verdi Peak tower, one can make it both to Reno Stead at 35:1 and with a tailwind, and to Truckee at 40:1 but with a headwind. From Verdi to Truckee there is some buoyancy every now and then so one gains a few hundred feet on the glide. Check and trust your computer. As a safety feature, there is a landable field marked by a wheels track just east of Boca Reservoir. It does not look inviting looking from the air, but gliders have landed there without damage in the past.
Returning from the north (Adams Peak, Susanville etc.) one has to reach the ridge that from east of Loyalton goes to Verdi Peak. If you can reach it, you will make it home. The northernmost mountain of this ridge, Elev. 8058', has the shape of a natural basin, collecting the west wind flow and generating thermals. If there is no thermal present at the moment, just ridge-soar back and forth until one develops. Continue along the ridge keeping in mind that you don't fly it as a normal ridge. Instead you slowly lose altitude until you find another thermal that takes you up again, although not by much.
Reaching the guard station TA-5, elev. 8,760' there is spine projecting west from the tower that often produces no lift or some sink, but the situation usually improves beyond it and it is possible to get altitude from here to cross the gap to the ridge of Verdi Peak. Do not be afraid to cross the gap: If you arrived up to here, then there is lift on the Verdi ridge. See the discussion above regarding the Verdi Peak.
Coming from the northwest (Lassen Peak), just follow the clouds if there are any. If not, one can come back flying on the Sierra, or cross the valley going straight to the hills east of Sierraville. If there are no clouds and the lift is poor or does not take you high enough, consider trying to reach the 8,058' mountain mentioned above, especially if the wind is above 12 knots or so. In this case, monitor the computer for a safe glide back to Nervino A/P, but the valley is landable in many places.
I first wrote an article on this subject years ago to fulfill a promise I made to Les Sebald at a PASCO Banquet. This edition is a refinement on the first article, made specifically in the hope to help glider pilots new to the Truckee area.
This basic procedure is often incorrectly performed but is very mechanical in execution with few choices available. The final glide setting is different from the other glides because the most sensitive data, which is the McCready value to be used for calculation, is not an estimate but an actual number: it is the current rate of ascent. Books give the general idea but often do not present detailed examples of the procedure.
I will assume that everybody keeps in the flight computer a 1,000' margin altitude above the designated landing spot, so that, if you have 0 (zero) altitude indicated in the flight computer, it means that you will arrive in Truckee with 1,000' above the runway.
Say that you are close enough to home that a thermal encountered at this location may take you to an altitude sufficient for a final glide. If the thermal, for example, gives an instantaneous (not an average) value of 6 knots lift, you should input in the computer a McCready value of 6 and wait until you reach the altitude where the computer indicates a wanted altitude value of 0 (which means 1,000' over the runway), and then start your final glide keeping 6 knots as the set McCready value all the way till home is reached.
Clarification: instantaneous means the current rate of climb. If the rate of climb instead of being a constant 6 oscillates between 4 and 6 on the opposite sides of the circle, then use an average of 5 for the instantaneous rate of climb; but do not consider the past rate of climb you had, say 1 minute ago or the average rate of climb you had during the rest of the time spent in the thermal.
Of course you also have set the correct amount of water ballast and the estimated drag due to bugs on the wings, and do not over nor under estimate this one. The computer will also know the wind but you may want to check if you agree or you may expect changes on this parameter along the way.
Now the above is the mathematical solution of the equations. In practice one wants to be conservative and may want to have some margin, a very variable quantity but let's make the case that the pilot today and this far from home wants an additional 1,000' margin. In this case, instead of starting the glide at the wanted altitude 0 (zero) in the computer, one will continue climbing and the glide will be started when the computer indicates a wanted altitude value of 1,000'. This means that one should arrive, mathematically (if no other parameters change) 2,000' above the runway. So let's say that one starts with a wanted value of 1,000' indicated in the computer for this turnpoint.
If we lose on the glide, then we reduce the McCready value until the wanted altitude goes back to 1,000'. If we gain on the glide, then we increase the McCready value until the wanted altitude goes down to 1,000'. Monitor the altitude and keep it at 1,000' by changing the McCready value but give it some plus or minus range around the wanted 1,000' to lessen the number of iterations (and better limit the minus values, it's good to the nerves – say keep it always at 1,000' or above). When we are closer to the airport, and the perilous points are behind us, increase progressively the McCready value so as to fly faster and faster to get rid of that 1,000' extra altitude and arrive at 0 on the wanted altitude, which is 1,000' above the runway as we desired.
To make the discussion complete, if, while climbing, the rate of climb changes from 6 knots to 2 knots as we reach the top of the thermal, we set the McCready at 2. We check with the McCready at 2 if we have less than the wanted altitude margin of 1,000': in this case we will continue to climb until we reach the 1,000' margin and we glide home keeping 2 knots in the McCready and adjusting for variation on the glide as mentioned above.
Conversely, if the check with the McCready at 2 gives a margin higher than 1,000', say that it indicates 1,500', we head for home and as we go increase the McCready in steps reducing the margin until we find that, for example, 3.5 knots give us the wanted value margin of 1,000' and continue the glide keeping the McCready at 3.5 knots and adjusting for variation on the glide as mentioned above.
Finally if it is our lucky day and, while climbing, the lift increases from 6 to 8 knots as we get closer to the cloud, then we set the McCready at 8 and we will continue to climb proceeding as in the above examples that were made for a 6 knots rate of ascent.

Relocation is itself a distressed condition and couple of mistakes in that make it the more serious. Sometimes under the pressurized situation of relocation we deliberately or unwillingly commit a lot of mistakes that at the end of relocation turn out to be a problem. Occasionally these errors would probably hazard a number of estate in the same.

I changed my thermostat yesterday, because of the increase and decrease of temperature from the engine. Now the temperature will not rise and heat is very low. Is it a bad thermostat or water pump?

Id want to double check your temp gage. Do the heater hoses get hot? You may need to flush the heater core? Another possible issue is a temp door problem, under the dash.
Take the return heater hose loose from engine, bump the starter, any coolant flow? Don't start the vehicle.

it's often due to students jumping into something and not being as conscious of the need ton show the admin folks that the project can be an asset long term rather than a temporary obstruction. this was what i observed at OSU; student projects where always considered to be at most a 4 year inconvenience. Most times Professors are not involved so projects get done a little hap hazard. not a big problem but substantial when we are speaking of administrations looking to save money. it costs as much to remove a project as to build a project.

Bright Angel Restuarant: Ok Food
When staying at the Canyon your food choices are somewhat limited. We had breakfast at the Bright Angel since we were staying at the Lodge. The dining room looks like the inside of a Denny's. The view from the windows are nice and we were seated in a comfy booth. Our waitress was quite nice and kept calling us "darlin" (no "g" on the darling). We looked through the menu and decided on some pancakes for Liz and French Toast for me. The waitress looked a bit shocked when we asked for iced teas and not coffee but I'm sue she got over it. The pancakes and french toast were good and we liked that there was "real" maple syrup and not the imitation goo.
The meal was good...nothing to write home about.
Bright Angel: Arizona Room at the Bright Angel Lodge
Bright Angel Lodge is central to a lot of activities along the rim and has several options for meals. There are two full restaurants, both pretty good, a snack bar that sells wonderful ice cream and a bar that doubles as a coffee and pastry bar in the mornings.
Favorite Dish: The Arizona Room is there nicest restaurant and we had a very nice dinner here. I had a tender and juicy beef tenderloin filet in a reoasted red pepper cream sauce, roasted cumin onion rings (an unusual but very nice flavor), sour cream and cheddar mashed potatoes and green beans. My wife and grandson had the trout with lemon sage butter accompanied by a black bean rice pilaf and green beans. Both my wife and I had a glass of Zinfandel as well. We finished off by sharing the chef's dessert special of the day, a Fudge Lava Cake with ice cream on top. It was a delicious, moist, very chocolate, large hunk of dessert. Good thing we only ordered one. A fine dinner for us all.
Bright Angel: Good prices in a family atomosphere
Another restaurant in the Bright Angel lodge is just called the restaurant as far as I can determine. It has a family atomosphere and offers what we found to be quite a varied and good menu. The walls are decorated with old Harvey House memorabilia which give it something of an early 20th century feel. I had eaten too well that day so opted for a Harvey Spinach Salad which was a nice bed of spinach topped with sliced egg, tomatoes, mushrooms and sunflower seed. Sprinkled over was parmesan and pieces of bacon (not bacon bits!). With a nice roll and butter it was very tasty and satisfying. My wife and grandson shared a roast porkloin topped with warm cinnamon apples and accompanied by rice and a steamed medly of cauliflower, broccoli and carrots. We finished by sharing a slice of their New York style cheese cake with a strawberry sauce. Very nice (and very rich!).
Favorite Dish: I had a nice glass of cabernet and my wife had a Canyon Breeze which is vodka with cranberry and pineapple juice.
Total price for it all including tip was $50 which I thought a bargain.
Bright Angel Lodge Restaurant: Dinner at Grand Canyon Village
After our shuttle along Hermit Road we returned to Grand Canyon Village just as darkness was falling. It wasn't a long walk to Bright Angel Lodge, so we zipped up the walkway to have dinner there.
The generously-sized dining room had high, wood-beamed ceilings and comfy booths or tables filled with diners ready for a hearty meal after a long day at the canyon. Lodge-style decor set the theme for the restaurant.
The menu included a wide variety of dishes. It didn't take me long to decide upon a Colter quesadilla with Buffalo chicken ($7.15) and Jim ordered a Chicken Fajita ($13.00). I should have realized "Buffalo" chicken would be spicey--it was...but also very good!
Bright Angel is a lodge within Grand Canyon village and also includes a cocktail lounge and small gift shop.
Bright Angel Lodge Restaurant
Our main reason for stopping here was to have the famous Canyon Crunch ice cream, since the the Bright Angel Fountain only takes cash, and we we only had a credit card on us. The room was nice enough, done up in a western theme, but service, though pleasant, crawled at a snail's pace even though the restaurant was half-empty.
Favorite Dish: We decided we might as well have lunch, and I had the Hiker's Salad, which was grilled chicken breast, salad, and romano cheese. The salad was iceberg lettuce ( the lettuce snob rears her ugly head again) which was described on the menu as "mixed greens", the chicken breast was okay, but the worst thing about the salad was the pre-grated-in-a-canister Romano cheese. Ick. The saving grace of the salad was the delightfully sweet and spicy Grape-Serrano salad dressing, sort of like a vinagrette. My husband had a cheese burger and onion rings, and he thought the burger was pretty good, and the onion rings outstanding.
The Canyon Crunch ice cream is very yummy. It appears to be vanilla ice cream with chocolate and butterfinger pieces. However, the waiter told us that it is no longer being made, as the Grand Canyon is the only purchaser, and it's not cost effective for the company that produces it.
I thought the food was okay, but I expected the quality to be better. It seemed to be about the same as at the Yavapai cafeteria. You would be probably better off at the cafeteria, as the prices are cheaper.
Bright Angel: Fat Tire and Chewy Chicken
The Angel Lodge provides two dining options as well as an outdooor snack/cafe facility on the terrace at the back. On the day of our visit food for fuel was the order of the day as well as a little liquid refreshment - solely to regain the metabolic balance of course!
Chicken fingers with BBQ sauce, Onion Rings and a couple of pints of Fat Tire did exactly the intended job, plenty of calorific intake and a couple of pints of liquid to replace the lost sweat.
Favorite Dish: I wouldn't exactly say the the chewy chicken was my favourite dish but it was pretty much what i had expected and there was plenty of it. Fat Tire served a little too cold for my tastes, but what's new there?
The Bright Angel: Good Basic Food With A Variety
The Bright Angel was just what my son and I were looking for.
If we wanted a humber and fries they had it. There were a lot of other items on the menu that would please people too. If you want to have a couple of drinks that is availble also.
Before we hiked to the bottom of the Canyon we ate breakfast at The Bright Angel. It was clean and well run.
The location is nice. Right by the Grand Canyon and next to Kolb and Lookout Studios.
Not to mention the beautiful views.
Favorite Dish: Basic burger and fries. The breakfast was great too.
Bright Angel Bar: Don't Miss The Buffalo Burger
I have decided to have a beer at the Bar. The bar is rather closed off, with windows looking out toward the front.
Favorite Dish: Low fat buffalo burger and beer.

My lovely old no-name machine with the slightly broken foot pedal that I brag about started to seize up last night. Freak out! While I do oil my machines and clean out lint etc., I am not fanatical about it and everything seemed just fine until it wasn't.
A little troubleshooting led me to believe it was not in the needle or the long arms in the top of the machine, but in the main make-it-go bit because the needle went up and down beautifully when the belt was disengaged as for bobbin winding. I removed screws oh, so carefully and had a look. It all looked lovely and as I remembered from when it was new-to-me and I gave it a once over. I oiled everything in sight. Then I had to leave it for the night.
This is about where I had a laugh at myself because I so often recommend these oldies and now I knew I might have to make a big decision. If I couldn't get it going, would I pay the $80 or $90 to get it serviced? The machine means a lot to me and it is completely worth the money, but really, could I defend spending that kind of money on a $5 machine?
Well, this morning I removed a few more screws and found what I believe is an oiling point that is only revealed when the hand wheel is pulled out a bit. Threw some oil in there and that seemed to help a lot. And then, since I found one oddly placed oiling point, I took a good look around all sides of it to see if there were others hidden away. Sure enough, there was a small opening on the back of the machine that seemed to be asking for oil.
Et voila! My sweet old machine is purring again. The really, really interesting part about this story is that I would be willing to bet a pretty penny that neither of these points have ever, EVER been oiled by me and I have been sewing on it since at least 2009. Amazing!
------http://bgballroom.wordpress.com to follow the progress on my next ballgown.
Amazing, isn't it, how we can trust ourselves to look around a beloved machine?
But not a dishwasher or automobile, eh?

The Toon star yesterday blamed his current goal drought on goat curry being taken off the menu at the team's Darsley Park training ground.
Last season Cisse's amazing goal tally helped the Magpies to finish fifth in the Barclays Premier League, securing a lucrative European place.
And he says it was thanks, in part, to a dish from his native Senegal, called Yassa.
It was introduced to the Newcastle staff canteen by international team-mate Demba Ba, but has now been taken off the menu.
Even Manager Alan Pardew admitted last season that the curry might have helped the striker's incredible scoring record of 13 goals in 14 games.
By contrast, he has netted just three times in 14 appearances this season.
Cisse said this week: "I think I need to ask the kitchen why they still haven't done it yet."
A version of Yassa was put on the menu in April at Raval Luxury Indian Restaurant, in Gateshead, where it proved a huge hit with customers.
And today (Tuesday) manager Avi Malik said his chefs would be happy to provide Cisse and Senegalese team-mate Demba Ba with a regular supply of the super-lean cuisine.
Mr Malik said: "Goat curry appears to have powered Papiss Cisse to success last season, so we're more than happy to help him get back on target.
"The dish proved very popular with customers. People in the North East might find the idea of eating goat unusual, but it's actually the most widely-consumed meat in the world.
"It's also very low in fat, totally organic and high in protein. It's little wonder great athletes such as Papiss Cisse swears by it."

Oklahoma City Thunder: Balanced scoring shows even without Westbrook
Jeremy Lamb is averaging 10.0 points a game. That's a good development for the Thunder. Not just Lamb's personal ascension into a quality NBA scorer.
Lamb gives the Thunder five players averaging double-digit scoring.
Kevin Durant 31.0, Russell Westbrook 21.3, Serge Ibaka 15.0, Reggie Jackson 13.5 and Lamb 10.0.
That's no small thing for the Thunder, which has been top-heavy in scoring since arriving in OKC.
More balanced scoring means that when Durant and/or Westbrook is slowed, the Thunder offense doesn't automatically have to take a hit.
As recently as two seasons ago, the year the Thunder made the NBA Finals, it had just three double-digit scorers — Durant 28.0, Westbrook 23.6 and James Harden 16.8. Ibaka averaged 9.1.
Last season, Ibaka's development got the Thunder four double-digit scorers: Durant 28.0, Westbrook 23.2, Kevin Martin 14.0 and Ibaka 13.2. The No. 5 scorer was Thabo Sefolosha, at 7.6. That's a 5.6 points a game difference between Ibaka and Thabo. That's not a bad gulf when you're talking about leading scorers. But when that's the gulf between the fourth- and fifth-best scorer on the team, that represents a hole.
This season, there is no hole. After Lamb comes Thabo, at 6.8. And down at 4.7 points a game is Derek Fisher, who has shown himself capable of helping with the point production. Since Westbrook's surgery the day after Christmas, Fisher has had scoring games of 15 against Miami, 13 against Minnesota twice, 12 against Denver and 10 against both Portland and Milwaukee.
Of course, a key is to keep that kind of scoring balance once Westbrook returns. Lamb has averaged 10.5 points a game since Westbrook went out. Lamb was averaging 9.5 points a game through Christmas. So Lamb has elevated his scoring a little.
Truth is, everyone has. Durant, you know all about. But Ibaka was averaging 14.4 points a game when Westbrook went out; now Ibaka is averaging 15.0.
Jackson has gone from 12.5 points when Westbrook went out to 13.5 now.
That's only natural, since Westbrook was averaging 18 shots, six foul shots and four turnovers per game. That's a lot of opportunity for other players. But the more balanced scoring made the Thunder better prepared to withstand the loss of Westbrook for now six weeks. Durant has been out of this world, but he's had lots of help from players who have taken on an increased scoring responsibility, but nothing out of their talent range.
Lots of players' numbers could go down when Westbrook returns, just from decreased opportunities. But the balance that has been achieved this season, both with and without Westbrook, has been a blessing to the Thunder. Keep that going when Westbrook returns, and the Thunder's title hopes will be enhanced.

"The decedent is a 28-year-old male discovered unresponsive inside of his residence," the Coroner's Department stated on its Web site. It said that an "investigation is ongoing."
Avenged Sevenfold issued a statement on its Web site Monday.
"It is with great sadness and heavy hearts that we tell you of the passing today of Jimmy `The Rev' Sullivan," the statement said.
"Jimmy was not only one of the world's best drummers, but more importantly he was our best friend and brother. Our thoughts and prayers go out to Jimmy's family and we hope you will respect their privacy during this difficult time."
Sullivan is survived by his wife, Leana MacFadden.
By this morning, a Facebook page for Avenged Sevenfold had received almost 5,000 comments in response to a posting about Sullivan's death.
