Does surface roughness really matter in nanowires?
Oct 9, 2013 2013-10-09T09:00:00+0100
New experiments by researchers at the City University of Hong Kong have revealed that surface roughness can degrade electron mobility in miniaturized and surface-disordered nanowires. These findings mean that nanowire geometries and surface properties should be taken into account when designing high-performance devices.
III-V semiconducting nanowires (NWs) such as indium arsenide (InAs) have been extensively studied as fundamental building blocks for transistors, optoelectronics and other electronics devices, thanks to the extraordinary carrier mobility of these materials. Until now, however, few experiments have directly addressed the effects of surface roughness on the electronic transport properties of NWs – something that is critical for high-performance electronic devices.
A team led by Dr Johnny Ho and Professor K S Chan synthesized InAs NWs with controllable diameters and surface roughness using a catalytic chemical-vapour-deposition technique. Combined with detailed atomic force microscopy (AFM) and electrical characterization of devices made from the NWs, the researchers found that electron mobility monotonically degrades with increasing surface roughness and diameter scaling (from around –6000 cm2 V–1 s–1 nm–1 to around 300–500 cm2 V–1 s–1 nm–1). Cryogenic measurements further decoupled the effects of surface/interface traps and phonon scattering, highlighting the significance of surface scattering in the miniaturized NWs. Smaller NWs have a larger surface-area-to-volume ratio, which means that their surface properties are more important.
The mobility values of rough NWs were also found to be less sensitive to changes in diameter than smooth NWs – which is due to the stronger effective scattering potential. When roughness occupies a larger fraction of the NW cross-section, the modulation in the scattering potential induced by the diameter change is less effective. This means that reduction in mobility from the decrease in diameter is smaller in a rough NW.
Although InAs NWs were studied in this work, the findings could also be extended to other NW material systems.
More information can be found in the journal Nanotechnology 24 375202.

More News From the Gun Front
I urge everyone to forward this link to their Congresscritters, the local paper and neighbors !
As I've no doubt predicted here and elsewhere, no longer are the fruits of the Obama Administration's OFF being distributed across our southern border or confined to border states. Rather than "duck and cover" the Obama Administration is now alleged to conducting the same "ICS manipulation and straw purchase scheme in America's heartland !
Apparently our CinC - rather than acting as a unifying symbol - is applying the marxist teachings of his former neighbor, political ally, and former Weatherman - along with his SDS paramour - Bill, "guilty as hell, free as a bird", Ayers ! Along the way his USAG has hired 16 radical liberals and given them oversight of elections ! And, today, our President's "warmup man" was James P. Hoffa, who promptly declared "war against the GOP and TEA Party members with a "take them out" diatribe ! Isn't that exactly what Germans heard circa 1938 ? >MW
A good example of why the ATF at the very least needs to be shut downalong with this adminastration
Obama, with his silent nod to the promotions of the BATFE
personnel, proudly holds up their actions with Project
Gunrunner as honorable and laudable.
Since their actions are gladly supported by the administration,
it shows us that they expect us, the people, to follow the BATFE's
good example,
and do what we've been shown to be right by our moral, ethical,
and responsible superiors, the BATFE.
SO, what I'm taking away from this is it's A-OK, and downright
encouraged by the POTUS and DOJ, to participate in straw gun
purchases, flagrantly cause gun deaths of innocents, and then we will
be lauded as fine examples for more Americans, and given fat
promotions also...
...NOW all we need is to get the BATFE's actions entered into
case law.
The ATF need to be ABLOISHED! we need to get the debt under control so lets start there!.
Bear in mind, I don't really want to get into illegally dealing in guns,
BUT I could really use a fat raise and promotion at work...
Holding the adminstration responsible
Obama and Holder need to be charaged, arrested, prosecuted, convicted, and imprsioned for their many crimes against the United States. Fu*k impeachment:mad: The head of the ATF also needs the same treatment for his many crimes against the United States. If they keep on keepen on the American people will at some point become so pissed off that they will undertake their own justice. It goes deeper and longer than just Ruby Ridge and Wako Tex.
Thanks for the interesting responses, all !! :D
I think it imperitive we keep a "long view" of Operation Fast and Furious because its just another scion of a long history of anti-gun and citizen disarmament laws/regs promulgated by statists dating back to the GCA of 1938. Developments in Indiana, if proven valid, are confirming proof the OA lied in its testimony before Mr. Issa's HCOGR Committee on the "law enforcement concept" of OFF. It also raises the question of how many other "ops" by the USG - or unprosecuted political self-seekers - in other states were enabled .
Make no mistake ! IMNSHO OFF (and other similar ops in TX, FL, IN and perhaps elsewhere as yet unrevealed ) were designed to target the 2nd Amendment for further restrictions/conditions ! This is just the latest in a long series of Gun Control Acts and regulatory impositions directed solely at the legal/law abiding gun owner/purchaser !
And never forget our nation's first anti-gun law - NYC's "Sullivan Act" had its roots in protecting criminal elements from the violent reactions of their armed victims ! >MW
Actually, it was the National Firearms Act (NFA) of 1934 or the Gun Control Act of 1968, which is closely modeled after Hitler's own government firearm restriction laws, that you're thinking of.
The ATF, created in 1972 following GCA68, is nothing more than a tax collection agency. For it to engage in a sting operation involving foreign nationals who never set foot in the U.S. is goofy; they're the wrong entity to enforce gun trafficking. As with every entity in government today, the ATF has overstepped its bounds.
You're right that these below-the-radar operations were to be exploited to give the government grounds for more gun control legislation. It backfired, thankfully, but how many are dead as a result of their folly? And what punishments will be meted out? No matter what happens to the clowns at the ATF or DOJ, I'm pretty sure their punishments will be far less than what any of us here would get if we had been caught doing the same things.
Well, the ATF has shown us all the way!
Through irresponsible actions, no accountability,
and an absolute disregard for the taxpayer and our
laws, if we do what is ethically and morally WRONG,
we all can get fat promotions and raises!
Maybe we don't even have to do things like
running guns and causing the deaths of innocents.
Ask Obama, after all, he's in charge,he'll know the details...

The quality of fabric is much better than I expected, soft, durable and nearly wrinkle-free. I can scrunch this up in the bottom of a bag to change and will not take up much room. It is versatile enough to dress up, wear 3/4 season or as a casual summer tank dress. An unexpected feature are draw-strings on either side to vary the length.

Racing under the lights are among capital improvements reportedly being considered by the top brass at the Brickyard.
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. -- Jeff Gordon has a problem with the Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup -- currently, he's not in it.
But Gordon also has a solution, and it doesn't necessarily involve winning a race before the Chase field is set after the Sept. 7 event at Richmond.
Gordon is tied for 11th in the series standings right now, and that's not quite good enough to make the 10-race Chase. The top-10 drivers in points after 26 races qualify automatically, along with the two Wild Card drivers from positions 11-20 with the most victories.
Gordon has no wins this year. Martin Truex Jr., tied with Gordon for 11th, has one victory. So does Tony Stewart, who is 13th in points. That makes Truex and Stewart the provisional Wild Cards and leaves Gordon on the outside looking in.
We have to push and not pull back.
Gordon, however, would be in a better position if he could stop taking a step back for every two forward. After running third at Dover and 12th at Pocono, Gordon was wiped out in an early crash at Michigan and finished 39th.
A week later, he was second at Sonoma and followed that with an eight-place result at New Hampshire, only to crash out of the July 6 race at Daytona in 34th place. Throughout his up-and-down season, Gordon has maintained a flirtation with the top 10, but it has been a tumultuous, uncomfortable love affair.
On the other hand, it's nothing a string of strong finishes can't cure, and Gordon doesn't feel he can afford a cautious approach to the seven races that remain before the Chase field is set.
"That's the beauty of where I'm at in points," Gordon said Friday morning at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, site of Sunday's Crown Royal presents the Samuel Deeds 400 at the Brickyard. "I don't have to dial back anything. We're in full-on aggressive mode. Do we have to win? No. But do we have to put seven really good races together? Yes. In order to put good races together, I'm talking top fives. You look at the guys we're racing against, and they can easily do that.
"We have to push and not pull back. I don't know of a time where I went into a race -- maybe I go back to the 1997 championship -- where we were really the whole time thinking about points. Every time I've thought about points, it's cost us more positions than we've gained."
That's the attitude the four-time NASCAR Sprint Cup champion and four-time Brickyard winner plans to bring to Sunday's race.
"That's what we're going to do this weekend, and that's what we're going to do every weekend."
Bright lights, big track
A NASCAR race under the lights at Indianapolis Motor Speedway?
That's not just a far-fetched dream. In reality, lights are among capital improvements reportedly being considered by the top brass at the Brickyard.
Lighting the 2.5-mile speedway, however, would be an enormous proposition.
"Boy, you're going to need nuclear power to light this place," Clint Bowyer said Friday morning. "You're going to have to shut down downtown to have enough power to light this track -- it's huge. But I don't know. I don't know that (lighting) matters.
"Just look back at all the races that have been run on this place. That's what's important about this track, in my opinion, is the tradition of coming back here. I think that's why the fans have come here for years and year and years. It's always been a day race -- I don't see why it shouldn't be."
Topping the charts
Something about Indianapolis Motor Speedway seems to bring out the best in Juan Pablo Montoya.
In Friday's lone NASCAR Sprint Cup practice session, Montoya topped the speed chart at 185.410 mph, more than a full mile-per-hour faster than the 184.347 mph posted by Kurt Busch, who was second quickest.
Montoya, the 2000 Indianapolis 500 winner, led 116 of 160 laps in the 2009 NASCAR Sprint Cup race at the Brickyard, only to be done in by a pit road speeding penalty. Friday's practice session suggests that Montoya may be ready to make another competitive run at his first NASCAR win on a track that's not a road course.
Behind Montoya and Busch in practice were Austin Dillon, 2011 Brickyard winner Paul Menard and Kasey Kahne, as Chevrolet drivers posted the five quickest laps in preparation for Sunday's race. A two-hour final NASCAR Sprint Cup practice is scheduled for 9 a.m. ET Saturday, with qualifying set for 2:10 p.m.

Ferrari Friday. Ferrari's most technologically advanced and highest performing road car to date, the LaFerrari is a vehicle that demands respect due to its mind-bending performance, but one that can be driven and enjoyed frequently. The LaFerrari was a completed break in Ferrari tradition in that the powerplant is not only extremely powerful, boasting a total output from both its 6.3-liter V-12 engine and electric motor for a combined output of 949 bhp, but it also reduces the carbon footprint noticeably. Contemporary magazine road tests indicate full acceleration to 62 mph in less than three seconds. The 124 mph mark arrives in less than seven seconds, and the 186 mph mark in 15 seconds! Keep accelerating, and the LaFerrari will accelerate to a top speed of over 217 mph. To be auctioned on Saturday, August 19, 2017 | #Sothebys

Should people with lymphoma keep up a regular exercise program?
All patients likely benefit from some form of exercise program – not necessarily to impact directly on the lymphoma, but to keep healthy. Patients who exercise tend to have more energy than those who do not. This can lead to increased sense of well-being, which may translate into improved tolerance of treatment.
It is always important, however, to get the approval of your oncologist or internist before embarking on an exercise program, particularly a vigorous one.

AADL Executive Director's Fuzzy Math and Alleged Violations of Patrons' Privacy Raises Red Flags
by P.D. Lesko
Librarians are all about the numbers—exact numbers: Dewey decimals, due dates, number of copies, and call numbers. The Executive Director of the Ann Arbor District Library (AADL) is all about numbers, too. However, her numbers are far from precise; in fact, one could argue that Ann Arbor District Library Executive Director Josie Parker's calculations are about as fuzzy as the math one might expect from a graduate of the Mitt Romney Institute of Economics & Tax Policy.
Just in case you're new to this "should we or shouldn't we build a new library" question, rest assured it's not new. In 2008, the AADL Board of Directors and Executive Director Josie P., (pictured left) wanted taxpayers to foot the bill for a brand new downtown library building. In September 2008, Ann Arbor District Library Director Josie Parker told the Ann Arbor News it would cost $71 million to raze and replace the downtown library. Now, four years later, she claims the same plan to raze and replace library will cost $65 million. In September 2008, Josie Parker told the public it would cost $65 million to renovate the existing building. Today, she claims it would cost $58.8 million to renovate the existing building.
Supporters of the proposed 2012 bond intimate that the public is solidly behind the project. As it turns out, the libretto doesn't exactly match the music. In fact, not as many people today support the plan to raze and rebuild as did in 2008. According to coverage in the Ann Arbor News, in 2008 50 percent of residents surveyed said "Ann Arbor needs a renovated or new downtown library" and 14 percent said a new library was "not needed." Four years later, according to the AADL website, "45 percent of the respondents said they were willing to support a $65 million bond for a downtown library project," and 31 percent of respondents who would vote no said "a new library was not needed." Over the past four years, more people have come to oppose the plan and fewer people support it.
Then, we have the fuzzy math, or as President Obama has taken to referring to misleading information repeated over and again by people who try to fool the public into voting one way or another, "the lies."
Adjusting for inflation, the vernal equinox, and by standing on one leg with your left eye closed, Parker's 2012 numbers make perfect sense to Ann Arbor's crackerjack business leaders, including those who warm the nice chairs over at the Downtown Development Authority HQ. To date, Parker has not explained how the same 2008 plan, which was never costed out, can be pitched to the public as costing millions less four years later. According to those pesky economists at U.S. Department of Labor, a $71 million dollar project (say, oh, the construction of a new library) completed in 2008 would cost $76.3 million dollars in 2012, taking into account a 7.5 percent rate of inflation. Parker's 2008 claim that it would cost $65 million to renovate the current building means that in 2012 a renovation would cost $69.8 million, rather than the $58.8 million dollar price tag Parker and her supporters are trying to sell to the public.
In short, as President Obama has been fond of saying lately to a certain someone and his VP candidate, "Their math just doesn't add up." Alas, fuzzy math has become a staple of the local Hive Mind Collective and their business community supporters. Ward 2 Council member-elect Sally Hart Petersen demonstrated the stunning business acumen of the DDA Board members (all of whom were appointed by John Hieftje) quite clearly when she pointed out that by paying for metered parking with nickels users could save 33 percent. Seriously. Evidently, no one at the DDA bothered to do the math when they set the indexed pricing for the city's about 1,700 meters. Petersen, however, obviously stood in front of a parking meter and did the math in her head.
Those in favor of the project include the not-so-beloved Downtown Development Authority, who would skim tax money from a newly built library, and a coven of local developers. They favor a new library because it would "revitalize" Ann Arbor's downtown by providing a 400 seat meeting space, a cafe, a catering kitchen and a place where fledgling porn film entrepreneurs can do video production on a shoe-string budget. Actually, what the Director of the Ann Arbor District Library, the DDA and developers want is a library fit for a metropolis. In San Diego, the city's 1.3 million residents rustled up the money for new $184 million central library. It's under construction and when completed will include a 350 seat auditorium, teen center, cafe, and 24-foot-high living wall of honeysuckle vines.
How much does Josie P. want a new building? She wants it enough to allegedly violate the library's privacy policy by sending out an email blast to the library's registered patrons that purports to present "the facts"—many of which are in dispute. The email, titled "Downtown Library 2012: Facts about the Downtown Library Bond Proposal," was emailed out to thousands of library patrons. In response to the mailer (which Parker posted to her AADL blog), this comment was posted:
I have received a disturbing e-mail from your 'downtown' e-mail address, promoting the library bond proposal. This makes me very uneasy about the security of my private information on file with the library. I read your Privacy Policy at 'About Us' on the website, but it does not address the use of patron e-mail addresses for political purposes. It does say that you will only use my e-mail address to send me notices, and I regularly receive alerts regarding holds to pick up, due dates near, etc. These are legitimate "notices" in my mind. Political campaigning is not.
Some of the so-called 'Facts' presented in your document could be disputed, so it is clearly a bid for 'yes' votes. I wonder now if you have provided the list of library card holder e-mail addresses to the three groups arguing for 'no' votes?
This is a highly questionable intrusion into patron records.
Another recipient of the email wrote to Parker: "Your email (below) encouraged me to submit any questions I might have. My question is, did I receive this email because I gave my email address to you when I received a library card and does this use of my email address violate your privacy policy?"
Parker responded thusly: "You did receive this email because you submitted your email when you registered for a card, and the notice we sent does not violate our privacy policy. That is not something that we would do."
Attorney David Cahill (husband of Ward 1 City Council member Sabra Briere) was on the Board of the AADL when the privacy policy in question was crafted. In response to a question about whether there could be a reasonable interpretation of the AADL privacy policy that would allow Parker to send out an email about a ballot proposal to library card holders without violating the AADL's privacy policy, Cahill responded by email:
The e-mail blast was a violation of the Library's privacy policy. That policy says patrons' e-mail addresses will "only be used to deliver AADL notices". A notice cannot be anything, or else the policy has no meaning. A notice in the library context most commonly means an overdue notice, or a notice that a book on hold is ready to be picked up. Also, the Library has occasionally sent e-mail notices of the temporary closing of one of the libraries for maintenance or because of loss of utility service.
I was on the Library Board when the privacy policy was originally adopted, and when it was amended. I can remember no one ever saying that a "notice" could include something related to a political campaign.
Finally, a member of the AADL Board of Directors queried Parker on her use of patrons' email addresses and asked whether the AADL's Executive Director had violated the library's privacy policy and, as a result, state and federal laws governing customers' privacy, all in an effort to land $65 million dollars for the new library Parker wants to see built. Her response to the Board member confirms she used the AADL resources to, if Cahill's interpretation is correct, lobby on behalf of a ballot proposal—a violation of the library's non-profit status. Parker argues somewhat disingenuously that the message was not "advocacy," and did not "advocate a vote one way or another." She writes:
The AADL sent a notice to its users from our servers. We did not violate the privacy policy. The list was not used by a third party nor can it be used as such. I have answered this on my blog this morning, too. The FAQ did not advocate a vote one way or the other. I will remind everyone that I made sure before doing this that it was not a violation, and that the content of the document was not advocacy. I would not have done this otherwise. That someone says we violated the policy does not make it so. Ryan Stanton reprinted the entire message today on annarbor.com and that is why there is objection.
The alleged misuse of patrons' email addresses in violation of their privacy is not the only issue what has library patrons hot under the collar. Campaign finance forms revealed that the nonprofit Friends of the Ann Arbor District Library had donated a whopping $25,000 to the PAC formed to help get the $65 million dollar bond approved by voters. The question of whether the funds should have been donated was not shared with the membership. Instead, the group's Board of Directors voted to donate $25,000, or 16 percent of the 2011 total revenues ($155,000), an amount that comes close to putting the Friends of the Ann Arbor Library in violation of IRS rules concerning how much money a 501(c)3 may spend on supporting a ballot question committee.
David Cahill touched on this issue, as well.He writes, "IRS online materials sets a limit of 20% of the exempt funds that can be donated to a ballot question committee. I confess I haven't read the IRS regs; I don't do tax work. But I don't think a donation of 16% is a violation."
A long-time member of the Friends of the Ann Arbor Library was more pointed: "I don't care what the percentage was. I didn't donate my books and volunteer my time so that they could give away $25,000 that could support important programming to a PAC. This is an insult to the many, many fine people who have donated books and other items to be sold, and a slap in the face to the members who should have been told about this before it was done."
Should voters fail to approve the bond, on the heels of the political debacle that is the multi-million dollar county-wide transit plan failure, it will signal significant political trouble for the Hive Mind, whose members (and supporters) have thrown their waning influence behind both efforts. Coupled with the political wins of Ward 1 Council member-elect Sumi Kailasapathy, Ward 2 Council member-elect Sally Hart Petersen, and the 2011 election of Ward 2 Council member Jane Lumm, defeat of the library bond would signal another move away from expensive, much-criticized capital projects whose benefit to voters has been difficult to pin down.

Kill Bill Movie Music Vol 1 - Vol 2
Kill Bill is an American action / thriller film written and directed by Quentin Tarantino. Kill Bill was originally scheduled for a single theatrical release, but with a running time of over four hours, it was separated into two movies: Kill Bill Volume 1, released in late 2003, and Kill Bill Volume 2, released in early 2004. A third installment was planned for the year 2014, [1] but in a 2012 interview from Tarantino Concerning Kill Bill: Vol. 3, he remarked, "We'll see, probably not though." [2]
Kill Bill is often Noted for its stylish direction and its homages to film genres such as Hong Kong martial arts films, Japanese Chanbara films, Italian spaghetti westerns, anime, girls with guns, and rape and revenge.
Kill Bill: Volume 1 was released in theaters on October 10, 2003. In the United States and Canada, Volume 1 was released in 3,102 theaters and grossed $22 million on its opening weekend.[3] Volume 1 was the widest theatrical release of Tarantino's career to date,[4] and it was also his highest-grossing opening weekend to date. Outside the United States and Canada, Kill Bill Volume 1 was released in 20 territories. By November 2, 2003, it had made $31 million in the 20 territories.[5] Kill Bill Volume 1 grossed a total of $70 million in the United States and Canada and $110.9 million in other territories for a worldwide total of $180.9 million.[3]
The movie follows a character initially identified as "The Bride", a former member of an assassination team who seeks revenge on her ex-colleagues who massacred members of her wedding party and tried to kill her.
Kill Bill: Volume 2 was released in theaters on April 16, 2004. Volume 2's opening weekend gross was higher than Volume 1's, and the equivalent success confirmed the studio's financial decision to split the film into two theatrical releases.[6] Volume 2 attracted more female theatergoers than Volume 1, with 60% of the audience being male and 56% of the audience being men between the ages of 18 to 29 years old.
Outside of the United States and Canada, Volume 2 was released in 20 territories over the weekend of April 23, 2004. It grossed an estimated $17.7 million and ranked first at the international box office, ending an eight-week streak held by The Passion of the Christ.[7] Volume 2 grossed a total of $66.2 million in the United States and Canada and $86 million in other territories for a worldwide total of $152.2 million.[8]
The movie follows "The Bride" pursuing Bill's brother Budd and confonting Elle Driver, a fellow student of Pei Mei. She eventually catches up with Bill himself.

My cycling daydreams usually involve penny-farthings in Victorian England, so I contacted three south-of-the-border pedal experts for some more useful advice. The United States may be the home of the automobile, but it's also streaked like a muddy downhill racer with great mountain biking options.
First up: the Beehive State.
"Utah has a huge variety of riding opportunities and there are trails almost everywhere you go," says steely calved Dave Iltis, editor of Cycling Utah magazine (cyclingutah.com). While he agrees that hot-spot bike town Moab is a big lure, it's not the state's only option.
"Park City is the world's only IMBA [International Mountain Biking Association] Gold Level Ride Center. It's got over 350 miles of trails – including the Mid-Mountain Trail and systems such as Glenwild, Deer Valley and Round Valley. The Wasatch Crest Trail is also beautiful – and easily accessible from Salt Lake City."
He adds cities such as Hurricane and St. George, plus the farther-afield regions of Vernal and Price to Utah's great mountain biking lineup. For more sociable visits, come during the Hurricane Mountain Bike Festival (March 28 to 30) or Moab's Ho-Down Mountain Bike Festival (Oct. 23 to 26).
Then there's the 25 Hours in Frog Hollow event on Nov 1. "It's our state's answer to 24-hour racing: a one-day mountain bike race, held when the time changes from daylight savings to standard time in the fall."
Colorado and Nevada also have their own trail-packed charms, while California's Death Valley and Marin County are magnets, too.
Alternatively, Asheville, N.C., is streaked with mountain trails, while great southbound destinations include Alabama's Oak Mountain State Park and Big Bend Ranch State Park in Texas.
But if you're hankering for a surfeit of life-affirming, forest-fringed downhills, consider Oregon. From Bend to Eugene and beyond, the Beaver State has some of America's best scenic rides – plus top craft beer to sooth those buckled knees.
"Oakridge/Westfir has 400 miles of single track on over 60 trails – it's a mountain bike paradise," says Randy Dreiling, owner of bike tour operator Oregon Adventures (oregon-adventures.com). "I'd say Alpine Trail is the No. 1 – amazing flow over 15 miles of single track in old-growth forest," he says, adding that Waldo Lake's High Cascades ride is a tasty second course.
While June to October lures most riders, Dreiling recommends July or August for the two Mountain Bike Oregon events (mtbikeoregon.com). "It's one of the top non-racing events in the USA and one of the best ways to see the area. Everything's included: rides, guides, food and local beer and wine."
If you prefer dramatic Arizona moonscapes instead, weave toward a super-friendly bike shop in the Grand Canyon State. Local legend Sedona Bike & Bean (bike-bean.com) serves java and bikey chit-chat. If you've left your wheels at home, they'll set you up with rentals and advice on where to go – the trails start just outside.
Owner Jim Monahan recommends the Sedona region for bikers of all levels. "We've got some of the most consistently challenging natural terrain, coupled with the aesthetic beauty of the red rock. It makes for an amazing 'I can't believe I'm riding here' feeling," he says.
With more than 400 kilometres of single track, some local routes are standouts. "The most exciting trails for visitors are High Line, Hogs, Hangover and Slim Shady – all at the expert level. The rest are still challenging and fun and give just as much excitement. There's even a beginner-friendly trail system here."
But when's the best time to saddle up? Sedona's mild winters are popular, but spring and fall are when many bikers roll in. "The weather is perfect then and the trail conditions are primo – but book early for rentals or hotels. And don't forget to bring lots of memory cards for all the pictures you'll be taking!"
- In Canada, the Cariboo is known as the Shangri-La of mountain biking! See ridethecariboo.ca @westcoastdcj
- Utah, Canyonlands National Park. Stunning vistas, hot and dry! Joe Willis
- The best is biking in Europe off AMA Waterway River Cruises in Europe. They supply bikes and no hills along the river edge, lot of nice small towns. It is lots of fun biking through Budapest! Wayland Amy
- If you're looking for destinations in B.C., we'd suggest the Cumberland Forest [Vancouver Island]. @CumbyForest
- Oakridge, Bend, Sun Valley, Fruita, Sedona. If I had to choose one to go back to it would be Sun Valley: combination of epic rides, chairlift options and scenic views.
- @drcolinwilson
- Oakridge and Bend, Ore.; Fruita, Colo., and the Mecca of Moab, Utah. Moab is the benchmark for all the others – a true mountain bike town. In April, it's filled with Canadians for good reason: range of trails, sunny skies, etc. @JaniceGFraser
- Wisconsin's Chequamegon National Forest has bad-ass trails. It's Fat Tire Festival in Sept. is a big to-do. @karlazimmerman
- Moab is one of the best mountain biking destinations in the world. Slick rock and tacky dirt. @LauraGallant
- Sedona. It has incredible scenery and a huge range of rides from epic to moderate. Easy to access via PHX as well. It's also an easy day trip to hike the Grand Canyon so it makes a great vacation visit. @em_pd
- Bend, Ore., Bellingham, Wash., Sun Valley, Idaho, Bozeman, Mont., and Santa Cruz, Calif. @mtnbikinggirl
- On my list for one day are Moab and Red Rock Canyon. The latter is a state park outside Vegas. If I ever go back to Vegas, I'll be off-strip and cycling there – not doing the Strip. @SnarkySteff
- Kettle Valley Railroad in British Columbia. Nice, easy grades, lots of history. And driving through the vineyards in Penticton is also nice. @macaroniponi

As I've stated previously, PreservationsWings made me an Admin as he was removing himself further from daily administration and recognized that I was committed to the site, which I most definitely am. I've done much for site already and am learning the wiki language and tools as I persevere in making improvements. Obviously, there remain procedures that I don't understand. The simplest of these is getting my profile included in the Admin Category. Just how do I go about doing that?
TejLoading editor
Loading editor
Mor, please allow me to introduce myself. I'm a newly-made Admin by PreservationsWings and have been afforded that status due to the dedication I've shown on-site in the past couple of months. As a former copy editor of a college newspaper, much of my activity here has been rote, but I've also been adding new pages in addition to editing older ones with new information. While I don't have nearly the Wikia technical skill that you do, I'm learning fast and am eager to learn more. I hope to 'meet' you someday soon and want to expand this Wiki to fully encompass the complete Stormlight Archive as it comes into being.Loading editor

Hey administrator of Stormlightarchive.wikia, I received this in my email today from Steve Godecke, Admin of Stormblessed.com
Dear Friends,
With much reluctance and after long consideration, the Stormblessed website
will close shortly. I began it with the simple goal of giving fans an
immediate venue to gather and discuss the Stormlight Archive series, and we
certainly did that. More recently, I have been distracted by (among other
things) my job being eliminated, a difficult search for new work, and some
health problems, so I have not been able to do as much with & for the site
as I originally intended. Our webhost has been extremely generous in
allowing us to continue basically on an "IOU" basis while I am out of work,
but this has already gone on too long.
The Stormblessed blog, forum, and all parts of the website will go offline
on Friday, May 30. If you want to save any threads, blog posts, comments,
personal messages, etc., please do so before that Friday. Stormblessed has
a Facebook group (https://www.facebook.com/groups/stormblessed/) which will
remain open as a place for our people to stay in touch and share Stormlight
news and talk. And of course, the official 17th Shard website
(17thshard.com) is available for anyone seeking a community based on
Brandon Sanderson's work.
Thank you to all members for all you have shared here. It has been, and
will be, a pleasure journeying with you all.
- Steve
Just a heads up that you'll be wanting to update the front page.
Josh Walker, 17th ShardLoading editor

For the top nav and buttons, etc, I think this color would do: #35586C. It's a nice, stormy blue to kinda match with the logo.Loading editor
Looks little too dark? So far I kept the current color, because it seems like a nice transition between the darker top/logo with much lighter color you can see on this walls. But I'll play with it, see if it grows on me. If you have some kind of css extension you can copy paste this for a quick preview across all pages:
.WikiHeader .navbackground, .WikiHeader > nav li.marked { background-color: #35586C; }Loading editor
Loading editor
Yo, man. I see you've been working hard! Sorry for my unannounced leave. Mind giving me a brief on the progress?Loading editor
Don't worry about it, I won't strung you up for the Stormfather to judge ;) Anyway, Lately I have been helping with some content articles, while trying to find the time to go over the popular articles linked in the universe tabs. Other than that your wall should have a nice overview of what we have been upto..Loading editor
Alright, thanks!Loading editor

Hi Mbg2. I approved your request, and I'm here to help. I must say, the wiki's background image and main page both look very good, so kudos to you guys for that.
The wiki does need a logo, so I just made this. If you want me to change anything about it, let me know.
As for other advice or tips, I noticed that there is some recent forum activity, so I wanted to mention a new feature on Wikia - the forum activity module. I just got done helping The Aether Wiki, where you can see the module at the bottom of the right column on the main page. This module, which is displayed by simply entering
<wikiaforum />, requires that the wiki is using the new version of forums. You can enable the new forums at Special:WikiFeatures (first item under the Labs section).
Of course, if you want to keep using the old forums, that's fine. I just wanted to bring that to your attention.
If you have anything else you want me to help with, let me know.Loading editor

Hi Joe, thank you for joing us. I can't take credit for most things, especially that background which was set way before my time. I only helped with few things along, trying to improve what we have withot overdoing it.
My personal preference are simple themes(not like the ones wikia set for various tv shows) along the line of goodreads only in our case in Stormlight blue.
Loading editor
- Logo - I think that you manged to captured perfectly the font used for the way of kings covers, however, it might be little hard to read for such a small. Maybe we can drop the wiki part from the logo something like this?
I previously tried to curve out a logo using our Category:Images, however, I was never able to fit it vertically. Maybe you can do something with it(its from roshar map bottom right).
- Theme - I have added several infobox, navbars and working on notices. However for the life of me I just can't get the colors right. For example look at your theme on this page, it fit well (dark blue wikiabar, blue nav bar and grey background and lightblue for everything else). While ours (see Talenel'Elin page) don't, the infobox blue is too dark and doesn't fit with navbar lighter one. I have tried to adapt the colors but coldn't find a good fit without making it hard to read. Anything you can do to improve that would be great.
I have made that elements are defined through css, rather than on the individual templates, to make gloabal styling possible.
- Forums - Personally, I am open to the idea of the new style forms(like the ones on commons). I find them much more simple to use for users, making communication possible without worry over wikistyling.(reducing my annoyance with new editors unknowingly not follow with wikistyling and posting rules), but I'd rather start a discussion on that to see if everyone will be as comfortable with that.
Regarding the main page module, I don't think that we have enough forum activity to qualify for main page, or maybe I am just old school and prefer to focus on wiki side :/ after all we already have chat enables, which I never seen in use.
- Logo - I think that you manged to captured perfectly the font used for the way of kings covers, however, it might be little hard to read for such a small. Maybe we can drop the wiki part from the logo something like this?
I made three more possible logos, using a slightly different shade of blue, seen in this image I just uploaded:
I also took a screenshot of the theme designer which shows the third logo from that image plus the nav bars and buttons using that same shade of blue. Let me know what you think.Loading editor
Hi Joe, thank you for helping me with this. I like the larger font, I think it is much more readable now and how the border emphasize text, filling the background a little, which seems a little empty.
- Can we try to invert the colors i.e. make the text in white and the border in blue? (no third color needed)
- Is there anything stormy/lighty you can think off to put in the background?
- Is it possible to make the logo section bigger through css? if we can give it 10 more pixels arround, I might find something abstract to go behind the text.
As for the theme colors, I like the darker shade for the navigation/buttons look nice, however, I prefer the color of our wikia top/bottom most bar. Let me try it out and come back to you on that. (The colorful image on the test page looks great, but doesn't represent most of our articles, so I'll load it into my browser and browse around).Loading editor
Can we try to invert the colors i.e. make the text in white and the border in blue?
Done.Is there anything stormy/lighty you can think off to put in the background?
No, but wiki logos that are transparent with no image in the background look the best, in my opinion.
That said, you could so something like The Sims Wiki, where they have a background image for the whole upper area of the page that displays behind the logo and nav menus.Is it possible to make the logo section bigger through css?
Practically anything is possible with CSS, but doing what you described - at least on MediaWiki:Wikia.css - would likely be a violation of Wikia's Terms of Use.As for the theme colors, I like the darker shade for the navigation/buttons look nice
That shade of blue is #21468E.Loading editor
I love your logo idea and the linked sims wiki, what it did with the "logo background" is perfect. I'll try to find some stormy background (like the stub one, which suppose to be shallan sketch), see if I can fit anything and comeback to you.Loading editor
Well I played with your idea and here is what I came up with thumb(see in full resolution), is something like this is possible?
Note the colors are local and might change, since I hadn't had time to set and play the darker css settings.Loading editor
I assume you mean the example at the bottom. If so, yes, that's doable.
If you only want the clouds to appear behind the logo, you can put the clouds as a background image for that upper area, but position it so that the clouds are only on the left end where the logo appears. If you need me to help with the creation of the clouds background, please link me to the image you used. I can also provide the CSS needed for that area if you need that too. It's the end of the workday, so I'll do whatever you need help with tomorrow.Loading editor
Sure, here is the text, Background, original background (btw, for the text use whatever color you think best, if we make change to the color scheme i'll adjust it. Also I have no idea what dimension are needed, I hope that what posted will do.)
The font doesn't have the same look as the one used on the map, the first book cover art, neither it has the "fantasy font" look. However to me it seem more clear. Which one do you prefer?Loading editor
The images at those first two links (logo and clouds) are .jpg files. Can you link me to the transparent version of the logo (preferably .png)? And the clouds too, if you have a transparent version of that.
Also, the third link is broken.Which one do you prefer?
I have no preference, so I'll use the style and color you've chosen.Loading editor
Sorry, I wanted to avoid spamming the wiki and wasn't aware tinypic converted formats. Here are the png version: background, textI have no preference, so I'll use the style and color you've chosen.
Do you think it fits? I want to make sure that my personal taste is not getting in the way of the better variant for all.Loading editor
I uploaded the logo, so it's already appearing. To add the clouds background, copy-paste this CSS to Wikia.css:
.WikiHeader { background: url("http://images.wikia.com/stormlightarchive/images/3/38/Clouds.png") left no-repeat; }Do you think it fits?
Yeah, I think it looks good.Loading editor
I think it looks good, very good, thanks for doing the most valuable part i.e. finding the right idea and way todo it.
I just need to play with suggested themes colors, see how it fits. Btw, if you happen to stumble upon other wikis with similar color theme, do share, the more verity the better. People tend to get used to themes and i'd rather not do anything lightly.Loading editor
Joe, I have been working on various notices for our wiki, to help tag and inform the reader about the state of the articles and I have encountered a little problem, which I was unable to solve.
If you look at the notices in my sandbox, you can see that the last notice always run wild. For example even though the last notice with a picture was placed above the separator line it drop bellow it, similarly the last notice is place above the Characters section, but droped bellow it. Any idea what cause the problem?Loading editor
Any idea what cause the problem?
The closing
tabletags are "commented out" due to the
<!--that appears at the end of the previous line.Loading editor
Thank you, I have been sitting on this for a couple of days. I guess it is always the tiny ";" that gets you...
I have couple of questions:
- Right now we are using the
{{stub}}template as general go round need improvement template, which is added at various locations on per article basis. I am considering to expand our verity of notices, in your experience would it be better to set them to always be in a defined place and if so where?
- Is there any extension in your heavy arsenal that works with maps?
Thanks Mor.Loading editor
- Right now we are using the
1. I think a consistent, defined location would be best. The exception would be for a notice that only applies to a specific section of the page.
2. It depends on what kind of map you're talking about. There is an extension that works well with Google maps. See Help:Maps for details. If you want to use that, let me know, and I'll enable the extension on this wiki.Loading editor
Sorry for leaving you hanging, I wanted to finish the notices, test color scheme and look up that map extension, to see if it's something I can handle(It's can be used with custom map right?) so many things todo, so little time and at some point the perfectionist in me I got little dissuaded so I had been editing some content articles up until now.
Anyway, I got a couple of questions if you don't mind.
- I have been reading about the new forums you suggested, is it possible to use them without the new Discussions module at the bottom of article pages?
- Can you install the DynamicPageList extension like the one on starwars.wikia? I have been working on our Community Portal and I need it for the Things to do page, which will show pages taged with various notice templates.
Loading editor
- on the forums I have been offered a specific Javascript solution, however, it doesn't seem to work atm and it is not as scale-able and easily understandable (which is important for when other people take the torch)
look up that map extension, to see if it's something I can handle(It's can be used with custom map right?)
I've never used it before, so I'm not sure. I just enabled the Maps extension on the wiki, so feel free to tinker with it whenever you want. If it doesn't work like you want, a simpler solution would be to create an image map. (Note: that extension is already enabled by default.) This allows you to create clickable spots on a single image that link to a page on the wiki. To get the coordinates needed for each clickable spot, this tool is what I use, as it's the easiest one I've found. If you want to use the image map method and need help setting it up, let me know.I have been reading about the new forums you suggested, is it possible to use them without the new Discussions module at the bottom of article pages?
Yes. If you look at Special:WikiFeatures, in the upper area (Features) you'll see Article Comments, and in the lower area (Labs) you'll see Forums. They are two separate things, so yeah, you can use one without the other.Can you install the DynamicPageList extension
Done.Loading editor
Thank you. The extension seem to work perfectly and since I can only seen cons with the Forum system, I have asked the others if they have any objections to add it.
Regarding Maps. I have worked with image map in the past, you need to manually make an image for every region, create templates for each region, link them and play submarines with locations you want to mark and forget about making changes. With google like map you can upload ~one map, and set up locations on it and link from the articles to those locations + zoom level. From there everyone can browse around,it's like a "visual navbar". I'll play with it later, probably much later since atm I have my hands full, also I am pretty sure that if we go with this, we will need your help to setup the tile sets.
Lastly, its kind of stretch, but if the thumbnail generator is something you can tinker with, I'd appreciate if you can change the default color for transparency from black to white.(directory thumbs are JPGs and PNGs transparency replaced with black)Loading editor
Lastly, its kind of stretch, but if the thumbnail generator is something you can tinker with, I'd appreciate if you can change the default color for transparency from black to white.(directory thumbs are JPGs and PNGs transparency replaced with black)
I doubt it's something I can tinker with, but could you be more specific about what you're referring to? The thumbnail on Ten does not have black for its transparency, so I'm sure you're talking about something else.
If you're talking about the thumbnails of recently uploaded images that temporarily appear on the Photos section of the right rail, I'm afraid there's nothing I can do about that.Loading editor
Its only the jpg thumbs that are created for Category galleries (for example), recently uploaded etc are a minor annoyance. But, it was a long shot anyway, thanks.
I recently updated our MediaWiki:Wiki-navigation, with more links to various topics. For now, I used auto categories, so that I can see which pages are most popular( and can use some attention) which worked great in all but one case of
**#category-Culture#|Culture, any idea why it doesn't auto fill like the rest?Loading editor
That is odd. I don't know why it's not displaying any pages from the Culture category. This may be a bug, so please fill in and submit the form at Special:Contact/bug. That goes directly to the Community Support Team who will respond and investigate further.Loading editor

I just turned on the Forum extension, with the 'Article Comments' extension turned off. However, the Discussions module at the bottom of article pages is there. For example see at the bottom of Kholinar page, there is "Discussions about Kholinar" section. Which I specifically didn't want.Loading editor
Sorry, I misunderstood what you meant. I thought that by "Discussions module" you meant the article comments feature, which appears at the bottom of the article. (See this page for an example.) The "Discussions about ____" section automatically appears when the new Forums feature is enabled.
So yeah, if that section bothers you that much, just disable the Forums.Loading editor
we already have navboxes and infoboxes, plus recent activity/photos, read more section and now this.. its just seems as information overload.(especially on short entries)
I'd be ok with it, if it wasn't that intrusive i.e. remove the whole section, moving the "start a discussion" button to the "read more" section below it - The "minimalistic" style.
But as it is, I'll have to turn it off and undo some of the changes I made. What can I say, we all learn from mistakes ;)Loading editor
Loading editor
Hi. The only issue I see is the main page protection, which should be lowered to only block new and unregistered edits. For the rest the wiki looks ok.
In terms of the stubs, you have less than 90 "stub-length" pages, so the content is really ok. The issue with the "stub template" is that it is frequently a bit of a big "failure" box for the reader, and basically says "this page wasn't worth you visiting". However, the customized phrasing you use actually works for me, and I would overlook it. That said, if you don't want the spotlight for a few months I strongly recommend you go through the marked articles and add some information/unmark them if you could; it will make a much better viewing experience for new readers.Loading editor
Loading editor
I'll probably be gone three four days.Loading editor
Loading editor
Copying what I said in my summary, I think the very first navbox should go on every page on the wiki (minus real word articles), like how The Coppermind does it. Also, a second navbox can be added depending on the topic of the page (like on Fauna of Roshar, we would add the World of Roshar navbox as well.)Loading editor
We already have Wikia navigation on top, which suppose to provide links to the most important pages. The bottom navigation will be something similar as well as help people explore additional content, its function will become more distinct and vital the further we go down the road in the series.
As it is, its very much work in progress (the categories thingy need to be ironed out first), but you are spot on how it suppose to work, only in a more "Streamlined" way(in a good sense ;) )
EDIT: On second thought, soon I'll start dropping a content bare bones version of it on the book pages, to fine tune the template itself.Loading editor
Alright. :)Loading editor

Hey! I'm currently working on the user infobox, and I was wondering if you could take a look at the test in my sandbox. Some stuff not working is:

Ahhh, I misunderstood.
CC browses in the same way that calibre does -- items to books (titles). Like calibre, it does not support items to authors to books.
You can get much of what you want by using CC's search. For example, search for "tag:=fantasy". Because CC's searches are more like calibre's restrictions, you can then group by author or series or whatever to browse your library how you want, seeing items from books only that match the search
Thinking about it, it might be nice to make that search easier and faster by allowing a long-press on any item (tag, series, author, custom field, etc). The long-press would do a search for that item, after which you could browse. Given the recent CC change to "turn off" a search by tapping on the list header, browsing this way would be quite fast. The search would be very fast because it could be implemented using a database query instead of a scan. There are some complexities, such as how to display the "current search". I need to reflect some more about this.
Does anyone think that this "search via long-press" would be useful?

- $149 for two Lipo-Light slimming sessions with whole body vibration (a $580 value)
- $189 for three Lipo-Light slimming sessions with whole body vibration (a $870 value)
- $229 for four Lipo-Light slimming sessions with whole body vibration (a $1160 value)
During the procedure, a technician uses Lipo-Light's set of noninvasive, light-emitting pads eight at a time to target fat deposits. The LED light emitted by the pads opens fat cells pores, causing their contents to release through the body's natural pathways. A brief ride on the whole-body vibration machine helps kick start this dispersal. Typically, two sessions per week for four weeks are recommended to see optimal results.

Orochimaru's tech in flashback
Did we ever find out what technique Orochimaru used to kill the two anbu with sarutobi inside of his lab before he escaped?

'Once saved, always saved' — Deacon says killer rests in heaven
George Sodini rests in heaven now because he professed a faith in Jesus years before his shooting rampage, a Tetelestai Christian Church leader said.
Jack Rickard, a deacon at the Plum church Sodini attended for years, said the Bible makes it clear that "professing a faith in Jesus as savior means you will have complete eternal salvation."
Rickard, 80, of Indiana, Pa., said Tetelestai members "are firm believers in 'once-saved, always-saved.'"
He said the church, which is in process of moving to New Kensington, focuses on the intense study of Scripture.
Rickard conveyed his belief that Sodini attained eternal life.
"George is going to heaven, but he's not going to get his rewards," Rickard said. He said that Sodini won't be offered all of heaven's benefits because of his sin.
"George was a professing believer," Rickard said.
Shortly after 8 p.m. Tuesday, Sodini walked into the LA Fitness Center in Great Southern Shopping Center in Collier and opened fire in an aerobics room filled with women. In addition to killing three, he wounded nine others before killing himself.
Sodini wrote in his online diary that the pastor at Tetelestai convinced him it was possible to commit mass murder and still be welcomed into heaven.
In his blog, Sodini alleged that the Rev. Alan "Rick" Knapp taught Tetelestai members that committing such a crime could be forgiven.
"Holy [expletive], religion is a waste. But this guy teaches (and convinced me) you can commit mass murder then still go to heaven. Ask him," Sodini wrote.
After the shootings, Knapp went to the Oakmont police station where he told Chief David DiSanti Sr. that the church condones no such actions.
Deacon Rickard said he knew Sodini fairly well and never thought Sodini would commit such an act.
"I saw no traits like that in him except that he was a little quiet," Rickard said.
Rickard said he socialized with Sodini on several occasions. The two had beers together and Sodini ate dinner at Rickard's home at least once, Rickard said.
But, Rickard indicated that Sodini caused some trouble at Tetelestai, but declined specifics.
"The guy left the church over four years ago," Rickard said. "He was asked to leave the church once and he did. But because of certain circumstances, he was allowed to come back."
Sodini wrote in his blog that he attended Tetelestai for 13 years and left in November 2006.
Rickard said Tetelestai, an unaffiliated, independent Christian congregation, has about 400 members. The name is a Greek word that translates to "It is finished" and is purportedly the last word spoken by Jesus.
The congregation is renovating the former Westmoreland County Community College branch along East Hills Drive in New Kensington. Rickard said services should begin there in October.
Rickard acknowledged that public perception of the church has suffered because of Sodini. But he defended his congregation as a group of Christians whose sole interest is in studying Scripture and serving God.
"We are not a cult," Rickard said. "We are solely involved in an in-depth study of what the Scriptures say."Additional Information:
Tetelestai members study 'weaponry'
The Valley News Dispatch published a photo Thursday of a National Rifle Association sticker on a window at the Tetelestai Church in Plum.
The sight struck some as odd.
It shouldn't, said Jack Rickard, a deacon at the church attended for years by fitness center killer George Sodini.
'We are firm believers, all of us, in the Second Amendment,' Rickard said. 'That's Constitutional.'
Rickard, an Indiana County resident who said he is a retired military officer, carries a gun. So do most, if not all, of Tetelestai members.
'Everybody there is a student of weaponry,' he said.
When pressed to explain why church members carry weapons, Rickard said the church had been threatened.
'Our church is protected,' he said. 'We have had people try to take over the pulpit.'
Rickard downplayed the gun issue, saying it was 'no big deal.' He said that Tetelestai doesn't preach violence or advertise its beliefs about gun rights.
'We preach nothing political,' he said.

Does not wear well over time
I usually like to wait to post reviews until I've used the product for over the course of several months. I loved these pillows when they first came in; the color is vivid and beautiful, size is great, etc. However, after several months of use, the seam has come apart and the filling is falling out. This is just from being used as a couch pillow. I understand that the price was cheap and you generally get what you pay for, but I had hoped that the pillow would at least have stayed together for a year or so before falling apart. I think this will be my last purchase of anything of cheap caliber. You just end up spending the same amount of money over time because of having to replace cheap stuff the breaks down.Read More
It's not for a forma rm, more like a teen's bdrm
I wanted to put this pillow in my living room as a "pop color", but due to the size (which I knew before hand) it's more of a loungey room pillow, like a TV room or a kid's bedroom. The color was also not what I would describe as turquoise; it has more yellow in it to be turquoise. I've placed it in my guest bedroom that I decorated in coastal blue, and it works much better.Read More
:I, the pillow is terrible. It was flat within 2 days of use. Very disappointing and cannot use this pillow as it is totally flat.Read More
Teens love it!
I purchased this 2 or 3 years ago @ Christmas for my daughter Her friends love them (actually purchased 4). They'd prefer to sit on those rather than the futon in her room. She uses them as 2 sets, 1 pillow to sit on, the other against the wall to lean back on. She loves them. Would recommend highly for active, entertaining teens!Read More

HARKER HEIGHTS — A local business arranged a day of fun family activities Saturday to help benefit homeless students in the Killeen Independent School District.
Liberty Tax Service organized its first "Roadside Party" in the parking lot of the Knight's Knook restaurant in Harker Heights to collect clothing, food and monetary donations for the district's Homeless Awareness Response Program.
Visitors were encouraged to bring coats and clothes, canned food or a monetary donation, and were able to enjoy music, food, a car show and tables with local vendors.
"Really, we wanted to do something for HARP, and raise awareness about the area's homeless students," said Aleta Eversley, franchise owner for Liberty Tax Service.
The program provides support and services to homeless and displaced students within the Killeen district. Eversley said a HARP representative recently told her the district has more than 700 students who qualify for the program this year, a number she found shocking.
"I'm a parent myself, and I was really surprised to hear that so many students were facing homelessness," she said. "My heart really goes out to them."
It's not just the students in the Killeen district that Eversley wants to help. She said she also hopes to hold similar events for homeless students in other districts throughout the area.
"We are a small community, and it's shocking to think that we have students that have to worry about not having a home to go to," she said. "If people in the community can come out and help these kids, I think we should do it."

Car Stolen From Boone Used in Other Crimes
A Car stolen in Boone apparently took a circuitous route and was used in a number of other crimes according to police reports from the High Country to the Piedmont. A silver Ford Escape was discovered missing June 1st from a Green Street location in Boone, and before it was returned to its owner, it had been involved in a break-in and theft in Charlotte and was found by unusual means in Hickory. It was actually the break-in in Charlotte that led to the recovery of the car and arrests of two suspects, as an Apple Ipad mini was taken in the Charlotte crime, and through a GPS tracking signal from the device, Charlotte Police gave Hickory Police first one locationa businessthat was closed when officers arrived, then an apartment on 26th Avenue. There, officers confronted a woman exiting the Ford, were told erroneous information from her, then got permission to search the car, turning up goods stolen from the Charlotte incident. Jazmine Del-Rico Freeman, 25, of Hudson, was arrested, as was Bradley ONeil Caldwell Jr., of Hickory, charged with stolen goods counts and possession of the stolen car. Caldwells bond was set at $46,500, Freemans set at $40,000. The owner in Boone contacted GoBlueRidge.net reporting her car returned, but damaged in a side-swipe wreck, trashed and smelly.

HURST Green are gunning for double glory after their second team all but wrapped up promotion to Division One next season with a handsome 6-0 win over Lytham Town.
A Chris Scott double at Smithy Row and strikes from Zach Foley, Ryan Cattermole, Graham McEwan and John Walsh did the damage.
Hurst Green secretary Ian Barton said: "It is a fantastic achievement, and the two reserve coaches, Steve Young and Andy Holden have done a great job.
"They lost their first three games of the season, but since then they've done superbly, scoring 90 goals, the highest in the division."
Hurst Green's first eleven are in the thick of the promotion action too, but a 2-0 defeat to mid-table Burscough Richmond last weekend could prove costly in their quest for Premier League football next season.
Top dogs Lostock St Gerards took full advantage to ease eight points clear of the Ribble Valley men.
Lostock thrashed Dalton United 5-1 with Jamie Sanderson (2), Luke Berry and Mark Thompson among the goals.
Battling Mill Hill St Peters are clawing their to safety, and Luke Gornall and James Grubb struck in a vital 2-1 win at Furness Rovers.
Meanwhile, in-form Burnley United are eyeing up a top six Premier League finish.
United have hit a rich vein of form recently, and they proved much too strong for Longridge with Oliver Wood netting twice and Richard Cowan also on the mark, in a comfortable 3-0 victory at Chipping Road.
Premier Division championship favourites Charnock Richard are running away with the title, and they made no mistake, beating neighbours Coppull United 3-0 with late goals from Carl Grimshaw (2) and Andy Roberts.

text: Dennis Raymond Ollis MARION Mr. Dennis Raymond Ollis, 58, of the Pleasant Gardens community, passed away Wednesday, May 7, 2014, at The McDowell Hospital, following a courageous battle with Lou Gehrig's disease. Raymond was born in Marion, Sept. 13, 1955, to the late James E. Ollis and Wilma Robinson Ollis, living out his early years in North Cove. His family later moved to East Marion, where he spent the rest of his childhood. He was an active member of Pleasant Gardens Baptist Church and was a 40 year employee with Baxter Healthcare, where he worked in management. His dedication to achieving goals was exemplified in his accomplishment of earning a Bachelor's Degree from Western Carolina University, while working full time at Baxter and also caring for his beloved family. Raymond only loved one woman in life, his faithful wife of 35 years, Janet Owenby Ollis. As they raised their family, Raymond showed his love by being very involved in the lives of his wife and sons. He was also an avid golfer and loved to travel. Surviving, in addition to his loving wife are two sons, Geoffery Scott Ollis and wife, Jennifer, of Marion and Christopher Shaun Ollis of Columbia, S.C.; a brother, Edward Michael Ollis and wife, Marie, of Marion; a sister, Lydia Ollis Grindstaff and husband, Allen, of Bakersville; four grandchildren, Bryson Phillip Love, Ty Kingston Ollis, Peyton Shaun Ollis and Keira Faith Ollis; and eight nieces and nephews. A service in celebration of his life will be held Saturday, May 10, at 4 p.m., at Pleasant Gardens Baptist Church, with the Rev. Jerry Allen and Greg Owenby officiating. The family will receive friends from 2 to 4 p.m., prior to the service at the church. Burial will follow in the church cemetery. Flowers are acceptable, however, those wishing to make a memorial contribution in his memory are encouraged to consider Hospice of McDowell County, 575 Airport Rd., Marion, NC 28752. Westmoreland Funeral Home and Crematory is assisting the family with arrangements. An online register is available, under "obituaries," at www.westmoreland funeralhome.com.

Type of Document Master's Thesis Author Patil, Harshad Prakash URN etd-06092004-124443 Title Trajectory and Window Width Predictions for a Cased Hole Sidetrack Using a Whipstock Degree Master of Science in Petroleum Engineering (M.S.P.E.) Department Petroleum Engineering Advisory Committee
Advisor Name Title John Rogers Smith Committee Chair Aneuj Gupta Committee Member Julius Langlinais Committee Member Keywords
- whipstocks
- trimill assembly
- bottomhole assembly analysis
- trajectory predictions
Date of Defense 2004-05-20 Availability unrestricted AbstractThe Trackmaster system manufactured by Smith Services consists of a multi-ramped whipstock and a trimill assembly used to perform a sidetrack from a cased well.
Smith Services has observed evidence that the trimill assembly may prematurely leave the face of the whipstock and build excess inclination and dogleg severity or may fall into the original well immediately after leaving the end of the whipstock ramp thus creating a need to predict the borehole trajectory for sidetracking operations.
The goal of this project was to predict the borehole trajectory and the window profile cut in the casing by the sidetracking equipment and the curvature that would result in tubular run through the sidetracked borehole, expressed as dogleg severity.
A computer program was developed that predicts the sidetrack trajectory based on the BHA analysis method proposed by Jiazhi, and extended for calculating the side force on the mills. These side forces and a logical check on the feasibility of that force within the existing well geometry were used to predict the trajectory of each mill. A method was developed to calculate and plot the paths traversed by each mill and the width of the window subsequently cut by trimill assembly moving down the face of the whipstock.
Results obtained from the simulator, for selected cases of tool geometries, hole sizes and resistance to sidetracking, indicate an overall dropping tendency of the mill assembly and no tendency to prematurely leave the face of the whipstock. Therefore premature departure of the trimill assembly from the whipstock is unlikely to be caused by BHA design but may be related to some other factor such as the interaction of the mill profile with the casing wall.
Further, a method was developed to calculate the radius of curvature for a specific size pipe run in the predicted trajectory for a sidetracked borehole, based on pipe diameter and wellbore geometry. The curvature was expressed as dogleg severity in degrees of inclination change per 100 ft and provides a basis for determining whether the sidetracked borehole is suitable for its intended purpose.
