Dielectric studies of epilayers86(1999); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.370938View Description Hide Description
We report on the dielectric properties of epilayers, by capacitance and dissipation factor measurements at temperature and frequency A Debye-like relaxational contribution to the dielectric response is observed, which requires the presence of charge redistribution. The relaxation is found to be a thermally activated process, and the activation energies obtained from the dissipation factor and capacitance are in good agreement. The capacitance is found to increase with a decrease in test frequency. From our results it is established that the dielectric response is caused by carrier hopping among structural defects. A monotonic variation is found in the relationship between the activation energy and the Mn concentration. This monotonic variation is interpreted in terms of the four-center model, in which the number of Mn atoms appearing in the nearest-neighbor sites of the defect can have four possible configurations. The measured defect behavior reflects the overall average of all energy levels involved in the center, and the result is weighted by the relative concentrations.
Electrical and dielectric properties in double doped showing relaxor behavior86(1999); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.370939View Description Hide Description
when doped with minute concentrations of and was found to exhibit relaxor behavior. The data on dielectric constant performed as a function of frequency and temperature indicate a reduction in the transition temperature with increase in frequency. A poled sample indicated a decrease in the transition temperature compared to an unpoled sample. It was found that the grain boundarycapacitance were negligible and the relaxations occurred are only due to the bulk of the sample. The results have been discussed using impedance and modulus spectroscopy.
Mobility of domain walls in congruent measured using real-time electro-optic imaging microscopy86(1999); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.370940View Description Hide Description
We report the electric-field dependence of domain-wall mobility in congruent measured at room temperature using in situ electro-optic imaging microscopy. The measured sideways domain-wall velocity of serrated domain fronts formed upon merger of domains was an order of magnitude larger than that for independently growing domains. The wall velocities also show a strong dependence on the nature of the applied electric field, being an order of magnitude larger for steady-state voltages as compared to pulsed voltage measurements. This is shown to be due to wall stabilization between applied voltage pulses resulting in an inertial delay in moving a domain wall which has been at rest for many seconds.
Direct and inverse electromechanical effect in ferroelectric liquid crystalline elastomers86(1999); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.370941View Description Hide Description
Ferroelectricliquid crystalline elastomers (FLCEs) form a novel class of materials, in which the properties of macroscopically oriented ferroelectricliquid crystals can be combined with those of elastomers. The (direct and the inverse) piezoelectric effect in these systems is measured and analyzed on a molecular level. Backed also by x-ray measurements, a model is suggested that interprets the observed piezoelectricity caused by electrically or mechanically induced motions of smectic layers which are inclined with respect to the sample surface. The strength of the observed electromechanical effects compares well with (or exceeds) that of classical piezoelectric materials like barium titanate, lead zirconate titanate or poled polymers like poly(vinylidene fluoride), making FLCEs an interesting candidate for applications in microsystems technology.
Twin structures in tetragonal The ferroelastic phase transition and the formation of needle domains86(1999); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.370942View Description Hide Description
Direct optical observation of the twin domains in ferroelasticstrontium titanite at show that twin boundaries in the bulk do not change at temperatures below 103.4 K. At temperatures between 103.4 K and the contrast between the birefringences of two adjacent domains is too weak to allow the visual observation of the domain wall. The temperature independent, coarse domain structure in the bulk of the crystal is in strong contrast with a fine domain structure and strain relaxations near the crystal surface. No indication for wall flip motion was found for repeated, slow cooling, and heating through the transition point.
Piezoelectric properties of zirconium-doped barium titanate single crystals grown by templated grain growth86(1999); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.370943View Description Hide Description
Single crystals of were grown by templated grain growth (TGG). Millimeter size single crystals of were produced by heating a crystal in contact with a sinteredpolycrystalline matrix of 4.5, 5.0, or 8.5 mol % Zr-doped bariumtitanate for 30 h at 1350 °C. To facilitate boundary migration, the ceramic compact was made 3 mol % excess. The 4.5 and 5.0 mol % Zr-doped crystals were orthorhombic at room temperature, and for a pseudocubic (001) orientation, they showed remanent polarizations of 13 and a high field of 340–355 pC/N. The 8.5 mol % Zr-doped crystal [again oriented along the pseudocubic (001)] was rhombohedral at room temperature with a remanent polarization of 10 A value of 0.74 from resonance measurements was observed for the 4.5 mol % Zr-doped crystal.
Structural development in the early stages of annealing of sol–gel prepared lead zirconate titanate thin films86(1999); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.370944View Description Hide Description
Lead zirconate titanate(PZT)thin films on platinized silicon were fabricated and their structural development upon annealing was characterized by x-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy(TEM). The amount of a transient intermetallic phase was found initially to increase with annealing time and to decay after reaching a maximum. The kinetic process of growth and decay was simulated by using the Avrami equation. The Avrami coefficient n and growth rate constant k were determined by comparing the experimental results and the simulated curves, from which activation energies of 40 and 145 kJ/mol were obtained for the growth and decay of the intermetallic phase, respectively. The perovskitePZT was found by using TEM to nucleate epitaxially on top of the phase. Evidence is presented that the phase plays a major role in determining the crystallite's orientation at the nucleation stage of the perovskitePZT. This depends strongly on the annealing temperature and the orientation changes little during the following growth process.

Only the fittest compete in Foothills Highland Games
Published: Sunday, October 26, 2008 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, October 25, 2008 at 11:23 p.m.
Every year, participants and veteran attendees of the Foothills Highland Games look forward to one event for its funny factor: Bonnie Knees.
Photo Galleries
"In Bonnie Knees, they take a bunch of guys - any guy that wants to enter, has to be kilted, and the men line up, usually on a stage, and the ladies are knee-level. And they blindfold the ladies and they feel up and down the legs. And being blindfolded, they pick what's the best set of legs of the whole bunch," says Mike Link, of Hendersonville, who participates in Highland Games. "And it's pretty hilarious because sometimes they take the blindfolds off and the men that they pick are not the ones they would have picked if they didn't have the blindfold on."
Bonnie Knees is a traditional event at the Foothills Highland Games, a Western North Carolina gathering of Scottish clans that celebrates culture and heritage. Clans are surname groups associated with a region of Scotland that one's ancestors came from.
This year's games - the eighth annual - will be played Saturday from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., at Jackson Park in Hendersonville.
The Foothills Highland Games will include athletic contests, food, dancing, music, traditional dress, living history re-enactment camps, border collie herding demonstrations and the Clan Tartan Parade.
Approximately 20 clans from as far away as Georgia and Tennessee will participate in the Foothills Highland Games.
Today's games evolved from serious training.
"Originally, they were to prepare for war - they were war games," says Sue Myers, treasurer of Foothills Highland Games.
The Highland Games got started in Scotland nearly 1,000 years ago when the English were taking over the country. The Scots were not allowed to have their own army.
Now the games celebrate heritage. Some Highland games feature professionals, but the Foothills Highland Games are strictly amateur. Contestants must compete in each event.
Hendersonville residents Mike Link, 49, and Freddie "Irish Punk" Bailey, 32, will compete in the men's games. If you attend the games, look for the guy with the green goatee. That's Bailey.
"My goal is to win and move up to the A-division," Bailey says.
Athletes start out in the B-division and must meet certain requirements in order to compete in the A-division, the upper level of amateur contests. Professional divisions, not offered at the Foothills Highland Games, take the challenges up a notch. There is also a master's division, which Link hopes to compete in at some point.
Games include a tug of war, wrestling, a caber toss and more.
"At 49 years old, my goal is to throw another year," Link says with a laugh.
Link and Bailey, who travel the region to compete in the games, practice year-round, usually twice a week until it gets dark.
Link got started in the athletics element of the Highland Games when he went to his first games eight years ago. "When I went in the gate, I fell in love with it," Link says. "The first thing I saw was the heavy athletics."
He began researching his family history, and it turned out that his family has Scottish heritage - Clan MacTavvish.
"I had a connection I didn't even know about," Link says.
Bailey and Link work out together at the Pumphouse in Hendersonville. Link helped Bailey prepare by practicing together two days before his first Highland Games .
"I was so sore I could barely move the day of the games," Bailey says. "But I caught the bug. I went out there and it was great and they can't keep me out of them ever since."
You actually don't have to be Scottish to compete in the games. Bailey is Irish.
"They even let us play," Bailey says. He sports a kilt with a tartan pattern called Irish Revenge when competing. He and Link joke that if you are English and you compete, you may not want to advertise that.
There's a great deal of preparation if you compete in the athletic feats of strength.
"Usually the athletes do this all the time," Myers says. The average person, he says, can't come out and win an event without having practiced.
"You have to lift," Link says of working out. "You throw with your legs and your core. ... We generally work everything."
This year approximately 40 fit men will compete.
Participants will receive medals for first, second and third places in each event. A top athlete of the day will be awarded a plaque and his name will be placed on a large trophy, kept by the Scottish Clans of the South. Top scoring, first through third place athletes will be awarded medals.
But winning a top prize isn't everything.
"It's not so much about winning medals or winning swords. We throw with a tremendous group of guys," Link says. "We have a blast. It's also definitely about heritage. About your ancestors."
At times during the day, women and children spectators may join in the fun without pre-registering.
Children's games are scaled-down versions of the men's games.
"They get ribbons for it," Myers says.
Athletic competition is just one part of the Highland Games. Traditional dancing, live entertainment, vendors, sheep-herding demonstrations and more will be featured at the games.
The sheep-herding usually includes two sheep dogs that herd a group of four or five sheep around the athletic field. The sheep dogs may perform tricks such as separating one sheep from the group or herding the sheep into a pen.
"There will be a really exciting historic encampment we have every year," Myers says. "That's always exciting for the kids."
The camps imitate different periods of war.
Musical entertainment will include Coyote Run, the Hooligans, Alex Beaton, Flora MacDonald-Gammon, Montreat Pipes and Drums and the Deep River Pipe Band.
Vendors will sell jewelry, pottery, authentic Scottish clothing, metal works, clan badges and more.
A Ceilidh, or a musical performance with entertainers, will be held at 8 p.m. Saturday at the Quality Inn in Hendersonville. Admission is $10, payable at the door or at the gate to the games.
Who should attend the games?
"Anybody that's interested in their Scottish heritage. And it's fun!" Myers says.
The Foothills Highland Games outgrew its original locations at Blue Ridge Community College and Harmon Field, Tryon. They were moved to Jackson Park three years ago.
Anyone interested in getting involved in next year's athletic games, may track down Link or Bailey at Saturday's events.
"Everybody's welcome," Link says. "You have to wear a kilt and you have to bring really good sportsmanship."
Big, burly men compete in the games, but they're all gentlemen, Link says.
"You make lifelong friends, throwing in the Highland Games," Link says. "You really do."
Admission to the games is $15 for adults, $12 for seniors, $7 for children ages 7 to 14. Children 6 and younger are free.<0x000A>For more information, call 693-8526 visit www.scotsfoothillshg.org.

From Booklist
The volume is divided into three sections. The first, called "Introduction," presents an overview of basic concepts, organized under the broad topics "What Is the Universe?" "The Beginning and End of the Universe," "The View from Earth," and "Exploring Space." The next section, "Guide to the Universe," focuses on the features of the solar system, the Milky Way, and the regions beyond. Among the topics that are covered here are the planets; asteroids, comets, and meteors; the stars; and galaxy clusters. Treatment is quite detailed; for example, more than 15 pages are devoted to Mars. Finally, the book has a section called "The Night Sky," with entries on each of the 88 constellations, including maps. Seventy pages of sky guides, which provide both background information and double-page monthly sky guides for both the northern and southern latitudes for 2005-2012, should prove highly useful to sky gazers. Throughout the text, sidebars offer brief profiles of astronomers and others, highlight discoveries and investigations, or describe space-related stories and myths. An eight-page glossary offers succinct definitions of key terms. A well-constructed index provides subject access to the contents.
Stunning color photographs and illustrations, abundant on every page, supplement the text. Images from space probes and telescopes are interspersed with digital artworks. The illustrations alone make this volume well worth the modest cost. The four-volume Encyclopedia of Astronomy and Astrophysics (Institute of Physics, 2001), written for an academic and professional audience, is a far more comprehensive (and therefore more expensive) set and is particularly suited for academic and special libraries. Universe, written for a general audience, is highly recommended for high-school, academic, and public libraries. Nancy Cannon

The 28-year-old, who featured in the recent ICC Champions Trophy, was injured after Monday's Friends Life t20 victory over Kent.
Batsman and former captain Mark Pettini could also be out for two to four weeks with a quad injury.
Head coach Paul Grayson said: "It's obviously very disappointing that two important players are going to be missing in all forms of the game for a while.
"Mark's effectiveness at the top of the order ensured that we got our innings off to good start and Ravi had done so well for us batting at number five while he's also an integral part of our bowling attack."

Corporate Advocacy Program™
I was just another victim of this fraudulent company! Please beware when dealing with either Prestige Management, LLC or Integrated Mortgage Solutions.
They will contact you and say they have a list of "PREQUALIFIED" mortgage applicants that they compile via telemarketing and mailings. THIS IS A LIE!!!!
They will tell you everything you want to hear and promise anything to get your credit card number. Then, they immediately charge your card even before you sign the contract and read the fine print.
After they charge your card you will not get any return calls or emails. I dealt with the supposed "SALES MANAGER" Sean Quinn - who is the biggest liar I have ever seen.
After emailing and calling continuously and complaining - I received a totally bogus list that had all of the names duplicated on it. None of the people on the list qualified for what I needed - the criteria did not match what I ordered. This was a useless list that I could have gotten for free off whitepages or superpages. It is all 100% worthless and useless information - intentional fraud.
I urge everyone to file a complaint with the Better Business Bureau of IL and also with the Illinois Attorney General and post this farce on every web site they can find until this scum is put out of business. Another option is to also file a suit in small claims court against them all.

|Oxygen and carbon stable isotopic profiles of the fan mussel, Pinna nobilis, and reconstruction of sea surface temperatures in the Mediterranean
|Kennedy, Hilary; Richardson, C. A.; Duarte, Carlos M. ; Kennedy, D. P.
|Issue Date:
|Marine Biology 139: 1115- 1124 (2001)
|Stable oxygen and carbon isotope profiles (δ18Oskeletal and δ13Cskeletal), taken along the direction of growth from the umbo to the shell margin in shells of the pinnid Pinna nobilis, were used to reconstruct sea surface temperatures (SST) in the south-east Mediterranean and ontogenetic records of metabolic CO2 incorporation. Comparison of the seasonal cycle of SST, predicted from the δ18Oskeletal record of a small (young) rapidly growing pinnid and temperature measured with a continuous in situ recorder showed that P. nobilis calcifies under isotopic equilibrium with surrounding seawater, thus indicating that P. nobilis shells can be used as a reliable predictor of SST. A 10-year SST record for the south-east Mediterranean was reconstructed from the shell profiles of four pinnid shells of different sizes and ages collected in 1995 and 1996. Reliable resolution of the seasonal SST could only be achieved during the first 4 years of shell growth. As the pinnids grew older, the temperature record was poorly resolved because the shell growth had diminished with age, resulting in time-averaging of the record. The amplitude of the generated seasonal temperature cycle compared favourably (± 2°C) with a long-term temperature record from northern Mediterranean waters. Clear seasonal cycles in δ13Cskeletal were observed with an amplitude of ∼1.0‰, similar to the calculated seasonal changes in δ13C of seawater (0.6‰) overlying seagrass meadows. An ontogenetic trend towards less positive δ13Cskeletal values was too large to be attributed to any decrease in δ13C in seawater resulting from the invasion of anthropogenic CO2. It is suggested that the temporal changes of δ13Cskeletal are due to incorporation of respiratory CO2 into the extrapallial fluid and reflect changes in the metabolic activity of the pinnid rather than changes in the isotopic composition of dissolved inorganic carbon within the surrounding seawater.

Since my conversation with that agent, I have called back and spoken with 3 other representatives who have provided me with very little assistance. The next customer care representative, assured me that Friday night agent did in fact put a note on my file indicating that I did not want these tickets on Friday night after I called. She assured me that since that note was put on my file immediately, it was very clear that anyone processing these tickets could clearly see that this ordered was cancelled. She also indicated that in this situation, she was certain that a supervisor could rectify the situation. Today, I have opened up my email to discover that contrary to the information given to me by 2 representatives from this agency, my order has been processed against my repeated requests.
I cannot tell you how much stress this situation has caused me. I have spent close to 4 1/2 hours on the phone waiting to speak to someone from this office or sitting on hold. I also feel frustrated because I spoke with 3 people from this office who gave me 3 different messages about how to handle this situation. I have also left 3 different voice mail messages on the first representative's voice mail and am still waiting to hear back from her. This agency needs to:
1. Review customer service care. I understand that there are rules however, there are also exceptions and clearly, if an error occurred, the fact that I called within a minute of hitting the send button would suggest that the mistake was legitimate.
2. This web site needs to be improved to ensure that other customers are not facing such confusion. The site needs a clearer checkout point where there is a total presented so customers can review their order before it is processed.
3. Customer service representatives need to communicate clearly what steps a customer can take to achieve satisfaction. There is nothing more frustrating than sitting on hold only to have a representative give you a completely opposite story from the last representative you spoke with. Misleading a customer in any way is unacceptable.

Once I received the minor modification to my loan my son-in-law lost his job and I had to put the house up for sale. I had Century 21 as my realtor and we had a buyer who is a Los Angeles police officer with a substantial down payment AND he had been approved for the home loan by his bank. Flagstar chose to ignore this offer. After Century 21 made numerous unsuccessful calls to Flagstar they called me and suggested I try to call them also as the auction date of my house was just around the corner AND WE HAD A QUALIFIED BUYER!
I finally got in touch with Flagstar 2-3 days before the auction of my home was to take place and they told me IT WAS TOO LATE and that FHA hadnt gotten back to them so the house will be auctioned off. We had the buyer for 6 mos!!!! He wanted the house so bad he waited 6 mos. for an answer and Flagstar just blew it off and they now own my house. I lived in that home for 35 years, my husband died in that home, my children were raised in that home and now the yard is dead, the pool drained & damaged, the house is in ruin and it breaks my heart every time I see it. I had lost my job, 2 weeks later I lost my husband and 18 mos later I lost my home.
Flagstar Bank placed a foreclosure on my credit while we were going through the loan modification and has never removed it. My credit is ruined, all my interest rates are higher because of the foreclosure on my house and the home was not even in foreclosure. Flagstar has made my life so difficult and costly not to mention I cannot even purchase another small home or condo because of the foreclosure on my credit. Yes, Flagstar really did a number on me and I have all the paperwork and communication (email & other) to prove it!!!

I have emailed them directly and contacted them via Facebook eight times asking specifically what date my order will ship, and they have refused to answer my question, offering up lame excuses about being "backed up" instead. The first email response I received was three weeks ago, promising that my order would ship "shortly." Subsequent email responses from them promised it would ship within 3-5 days. Obviously, they repeatedly lied to me. I have no more patience for their lies and outright fraud.
I have filed complaints with PayPal and the Better Business Bureau for fraudulent actions by 1SaleADay.com. Please do yourself a favor and avoid this business. Their unethical business practices will be their downfall.

Prep Baseball and Softball Report
Published: Monday, March 15, 2010 at 10:00 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, March 15, 2010 at 10:45 a.m.
District play is in full swing this week as several area softball teams will play some big games.
In District 8-5A, Thibodaux travels to Gray to face H.L. Bourgeois on Tuesday, and Terrebonne hosts H.L. Bourgeois on Saturday.
Thursday's action is highlighted by Vandebilt Catholic hosting Lutcher, last season's Class 3A champion, in a District 8-4A game. Also on Thursday, Terrebonne and Houma Christian meet in a key nondistrict game.
As for baseball, district play is still a little more than a week away, but there are several big games on tap for this week.
Tuesday is highlighted by a pair of local games involving local teams. Terrebonne travels to face E.D. White Catholic, and Central Lafourche will square off against Vandebilt in Houma. Also on Tuesday, Thibodaux will host East Ascension and former coach Wayne Grenfell.
Beginning on Thursday, several teams will compete in local tournaments. Thibodaux, E.D. White Catholic and South Lafourche will particpate in the 2010 Rasing Canes Tiger-Cardinal Classic. The Terrebonne Parish Tournament features Ellender, Terrebonne and South Terrebonne.
The Vandebilt Catholic Terriers (10-1 overall) started quickly out of the gate this season, racing out to a 9-0 start before losing to Central Lafourche on Saturday at the Stan Fabre Memorial Tournament. Constant picked his 100th career win in Friday's 2-1 win over Central Lafourche.
The Thibodaux Lady Tigers (12-8-1 overall) capped a successful week by going 4-0 at the Sulphur Tournament. After a 1-0 District 8-5A win over Assumption, the Lady Tigers beat Southwood, Benton, Leesville and DeQuincy.
--E.D. White pitcher Jeanne Robichaux allowed one hit, struck out seven batters and walked one in the Lady Cardinals' 3-0 District 8-3A win against Patterson on Thursday.
--St. James' John Sheppard hit a grand slam and had five RBIs in Friday's 16-2 win over Franklin at the Coca-Cola Invitational.
--H.L. Bourgeois' Emily Brown went 3-for-4 to lead the Lady Braves to a 10-0 win over South Lafourche on Thursday.
--Central Lafourche's Jordan Caillouet hit a two-run homer in Saturday's 7-1 win over South Terrebonne at the Stan Fabre Memorial Tournament.
--Vandebilt pitcher Saidee LeMaire picked up four wins at last weekend's Sulphur Tournament. She picked up wins against Nederland, Texas (2-0), Dutchtown (5-0), Ouachita Christian (2-1) and Denham Springs (1-0).
--Terrebonne's Nelson Funk went 3-for-3 with three run-scoring hits in Thursday's 24-0 win over Helen Cox at the Coco-Cola Invitational in Houma.
44-1 — Combined scores in Thursday's games between South Terrebonne vs. Lusher (20-1) and Terrebonne vs. Helen Cox (24-0).
"Defensively, we knew our pitcher wasn't having his best stuff, but we stepped it up behind him. No mistakes defensively. Error-free is huge in high school baseball. If you can play error-free, you're going to win a lot of games." — Central Lafourche coach Scott Duplantis said.

Comment Re:We have K&R on PDF (Score 1) 135
Even if you did, it strikes me that this is an absurd metric. Since a lot of C development goes on within communities; either closed source shops, or open source projects, where it's likely only a portion of the mailing list archives, if any of them at all, are archived. The majority of the BSD and Linux kernels are written in C, along with a significant percentage of the toolsets, so clearly there's one helluva lot of C coding going on. Whether search engines index that activity or not is irrelevant.
A better metric, though not perfect, would be to look at the activity in places like Git, to see how many lines of code roughly are in any given language.

The Lower Nanamocomuck Trail is two hours North of Boston just outside the mountain playground of North Conway. This out-and-back ride parallels the boulder-strewn Swift River and includes tight singletrack, log bridges and plenty of rocks and roots. Located in the White Mountain National Forest, the trail is just one of many backcountry rides in the area. In true New England style, the Nan begins at a restored covered bridge.
Location: North Conway, New Hampshire.
Travel to the heart of Wisconsin and experience some of the best riding the Midwest has to offer. The trail network at Levis-Trow appeals to all levels of riders, with gentle, rolling climbs on wider sections of trail for beginners and plenty of tight, slaloming singletrack to challenge even the most experienced riders. Sandstone bluffs offer a chance to take in views of the surrounding area.
Location: About 15 miles off I-94, southwest of Neillsville, Wisconsin.
Directions to Trailhead:
McCall, ID
Located only 30 miles southeast of San Jose, Henry Coe State Park contains an extensive trail system. Be prepared for long, lung busting climbs and fast, rolling descents on more than 50 miles of ranch roads and singletrack.
Location: Henry Coe State Park, Morgan Hill, California
Directions: From Interstate 101, travel east on Highway 152 approximately 20 miles to the Bell Station/Dowdy Ranch trailhead.
Epic Ride Length: 24 miles
Elevation Range: 830 - 2,200 feet
East Burke, Vermont
Slippery roots. Exposed wet granite. Impossibly steep climbs. Black flies. Tight singletrack beneath a deep green forest canopy. As any hearty Vermont mountain biker will tell you, these are the traits that distinguish New England riding. Some of the best riders in the world got their start in the Green Mountains of Vermont. Chances are, if you can handle the technical challenges found here, you can stay upright anywhere.
Northern GA
Think of it as a "Super Epic." The Pinhoti Trail covers about 140 miles of prime terrain in northern Georgia -- nearly 100 miles of this is off-road, the other 40 are blazed road routes. The Georgia Pinhoti Trail Association (GPTA), in conjunction with the Conservation Fund, is continually acquiring land and easements to move as much of the trail to off-road status as possible.
Like any vintage West Virginia ride, the Gauley Epic begins with a plunge into a classic East Coast hardwood forest. Thank your fork manufacturer as you bounce over a long section of 80-year old logging railway, complete with original ties. It's all about rhythm and momentum here. Keep it up and you'll sail through the day.

Canadian Thanksgiving- Vegetarian Options?
Over a year ago
Hey! I know you since Peta2 is based in LA you guys celebrate Thanksgiving in November, but up here in Canada it's in the first week of October! I'm a vegetarian, and I like to make food vegan as possible. However, I have to go to Thanksgiving at a relative's house. My family knows I'm vegetarian, but they just simply think I can eat mashed potatoes and roasted carrots the entire time, and thus make no effort to include me. So what are some good options for Thanksgiving Vegetarian Style?
Note: I am allergic to mushrooms, I don't like avocado, and I do have a dairy sensitivity (basically I get a stuffed up nose if I have too much)

You could always make your favourite vegan dish and bring it with you, that way you have something you love and could get your family to try some 🙂You must be logged in to reply to this topic.

You can make an easy vegan casserole and share. Or if it's just for you make a giant vegan bagel sandwich or these awesome "turkey" wraps.
Make them ahead of time and stow in the fridge until T-day dinnertime or if you're visiting someone, call ahead to make sure they have room in the fridge.
Superawesome vegan turkey sandwich stuff…
Tofurky Oven Roasted or Hickory Smoked Deli Slices
Field Roast Lentil Sage, Wild Mushroom or Smoked Tomato Deli Slices
Lightlife Smart Deli Roast Turkey Slices
Yves Meatless Deli Turkey Slices
Or use your favorite vegan burger or meat sub. Pile on vegan cheese, mayo, pesto, veggies…whatever you groove on.

Have you checked your local health food store for a turkey alternative? I love Tofurky's roast, but Field Roast and Gardein also have great stuffed turkey alternatives. 🙂

I'm not one to make a fuss over food when someone else is cooking or I'm eating out with people I just eat what is available. That being said I am vegetarian and a really picky eater on top of it. Normally my thanksgiving dinner with my family includes rolls and mashed potatoes (there are other side dishes that I could eat being vegetarian but I don't because I'm a picky eater) haha though the past few years my grandma makes me or gives me some sort of noodles to warm up in the microwave. Honestly I would just say to put up with it for the day. Mostly since it is at your relative's house and not your own. You could make some other sort of side dish to take though it seems awkward taking a main dish or making it there (I guess it depends on how close and laid back your family is). You could make sure to eat something before hand or have something ready for after you get back home. I know Tofurky makes mock turkey roasts but I doubt you would want that if you are the only one eating it though you could use other smaller mock meat or make something yourself with tofu, seitan or tempeh.You must be logged in to reply to this topic.

Guest photographer Maryann Nielson caught this cool sign in Portland, Oregon's biggest town, located about an hour north of Stayton. I love old signs like this. Thanks, Maryann!
Category Archives: signs
Someone's A Christmas Grinch
Someone around town is definitely on Santa's naughty list. I went by this house on Regis St., right by where it intersects with Gardner St., yesterday. In case you can't read it, I've included a closeup at right, plus here is the text:
Please return our O of U grill cover. It is my husband's Christmas present!
If you are the person who stole it, put it back. If you know someone who suddenly has a new University of Oregon grill cover, make them return it. Seriously, what a stupid thing to do. Whomever the Grinch may be, I hope you can have some Christmas spirit and make things right. If anyone has a spare U of U grill cover — toss it to the people in the house, eh? That would be awesome. They have their yard all decked out for Christmas, and someone has to go and be a jerk. I hope someone can do something.
Also, to the person in the black Acura who ran me and my scooter off the road yesterday just so they could get to the bottom of the hill faster yesterday — you didn't gain anything, because we were both stuck at the bottom of the hill together, waiting for cars to pass. I darn near fell over because of you. I know I was going slowly, but I had an unexpected but necessary heavy load and it was rainy and windy, and didn't have a choice. Please, have a little compassion and patience, especially during the holiday season. Thank you.
Welcome To Sublimity
I don't get over to nearby Sublimity all that often, and I'm not exactly known for being the most observant person in the world, but I can't remember having seen this sign before. I hadn't realized that Sublimity is well over 100 years old, having been incorporated in 1903. That's pretty ancient for this part of the country.
Private Property
I don't know when this gate and sign went in on the land by the newish pedestrian bridge off of Florence St. I first noticed it two days ago, but I don't go down that direction. I knew it was private property, but I'd seen people wander through there a lot. I guess the property owners noticed it, too.
Root Beer Made Fresh In Store
I was at the A&W restaurant on Washington St. the other day getting my root beer float fix, and thought this sign that hangs over their counter was pretty nifty. They have good root beer, so they must be doing it right.
This is not a sponsored post (none of the posts on this site ever are). I just like the root beer. 🙂
Paint The Town Purple
I noticed a bunch of purple bows downtown yesterday to advertise the Relay For Life event at Regis Field on Regis St. on July 11th. Check StaytonEvents.com under 'July 11th' for more information, and support a very worthy cause.
Keep Out
We have a new guest photographer today! Mark Harwood sent me this photo about a week ago, and it got lost in my email as things tend to do. I'm glad I found it, though. His description:
Location: Washington St., near Dry Cleaners
Date: 5/26/2014
It's been twelve years since I lived in Stayton, but I spent my first eighteen years there and still have family in town. I get back on occasion, as I did this weekend, but not frequently enough. So I visit your site every week to keep connected. Thank you.
Thank you, Mark! I'm glad the site provides you a connection to home.
If You Don't Talk To Your Cat About Catnip, Who Will?
The people at Stayton Veterinary Hospital on 1st Ave. have been making me smile a lot lately with their funny reader board signs. I posted one a couple of weeks ago — We Like Big Mutts & We Cannot Lie — and now they've done it again with this one.
They've also been making me smile because they've been doing a great job treating one of my cats, Butler, and it's very much appreciated.
The Jordan Bridge is closed for some much needed repairs (read the Statesman Journal's article about it here). Guest photographer John Brandt took this picture of the fence and sign blocking traffic until it has been fixed. It's sad to have it blocked since so many people use it each day, so I hope it gets fixed soon.
Thanks, John. 🙂

Much Too Good for a Bagel
By R. W. APPLE Jr.
Published: October 25, 2000
COBH, Ireland— IT'S a beautiful, beautiful animal,'' Frank Hederman said, holding up a silvery 12-pound salmon, bright of eye and red of gill, less than 10 hours out of the sea. ''These guys swim 4,000 or 5,000 miles to get here. By comparison, the farmed salmon, the ones who live in those cages off the coast, are essentially goldfish.''
Mr. Hederman smokes fish, which is a little like saying Steinway makes pianos. Savvy fish fanciers in England and Ireland -- many of them, anyway -- prize his smoked haddock, his smoked eel and especially his smoked wild salmon above all others. Which is what makes you shake your head a bit when you drive up to his place of work.
To get there you cross a small stone bridge onto Great Island, which sits like a cork in the bottle of Cork Harbor. Mr. Hederman, a fit, droll 40-year-old, has lived on the island all his life. You turn right at the evocative remnants of Belvelly Castle, built in the 13th century, towards Cobh (pronounced cove), once called Queenstown. Cobh is the port where hundreds of thousands of nearly penniless emigrants boarded ships in the late 19th and early 20th centuries for North America; it was also the Titanic's last port of call on her fateful final voyage in 1912.
You're not headed for Cobh itself, or at least my wife, Betsey, and I weren't. We turned off the road at a roofless house, with a bunch of ramshackle buildings behind it -- just old limestone walls with corrugated metal roofs thrown over them. They had been the kennels for a previous owner's hunting dogs, Mr. Hederman told us.
But this is about flavor, not architecture, and Mr. Hederman's salmon has that in spades -- a subtle, elegant, elusive flavor, with a slight tang of salt and an uncommon balance between the clean taste of the fish and that of the smoke, which sneaks up on you. The color, a pale, appetizing hue that reminded me of cantaloupe, and the texture, smooth without a hint of oiliness, are equally appealing. The three elements -- color and taste and texture -- are uniform right through the side.
It took time to get it right. Mr. Hederman rejected, right at the start, the chipboard sawdust many smokers use, because it contains glue particles as well as wood. He tried burning staves from old whiskey barrels, but that, he concluded, deposited too many tars and tannins on the finished product.
Some tarry substances are an integral part of smoking; deposited on the fish, they form a barrier against airborne bacteria, helping to retard spoilage. That has been the main goal of smoking food, as well as drying it, for thousands of years. Flavor is a fringe benefit.
But as he worked amid smoke from the oak, Mr. Hederman found dark stains on his forearms -- ''like a deep suntan,'' he said. Too much tar, he decided, and he switched to beechwood chips, which not only cut down the tars but gave the fish a milder flavor. Each smoker has favorite woods; Bill Casey of Ballycotton imports his from England.
Mr. Hederman also decided that laying fish in trays, to be smoked horizontally, tends to produce a hard crust on top, which results in turn in uneven penetration of the smoke. So he leaves the ''collar'' -- a ring of cartilage at the ''neck'' of the salmon -- on the fish when he guts them and beheads them. That way, he can anchor a hook firmly in the collar to suspend the fish for processing.
The hook, a fearsome-looking steel gadget, is called a tenterhook, by the way. It was adapted from the linen trade. So why do we say we're ''on tenterhooks'' when we're nervous? I asked the expert. Sometimes, he explained, things fall off, ''but you never know when that's going to happen, so you're apprehensive.''
You learn something new every day.
Like Norway, whose blandly flavored smoked salmon is favored by the French, and Scotland, where the smokiness is more pronounced, Ireland is famous for its smoked salmon, often eaten with buttered soda bread. We went to see Mr. Hederman partly because of the results of a comparative tasting arranged for us by Myrtle Allen, the owner of Ballymaloe House at Shanagarry.
All of the samples she provided came from County Cork, Ireland's gastronomic heartland. In addition to Mr. Hederman's wild salmon, which we liked best, we tasted (in order of preference) a wild salmon, almost mahogany in color, from Anthony Creswell in Timoleague, which had a punchy, oaky flavor and a texture we found just the slightest bit mealy; a farmed salmon from Mr. Casey of Ballycotton, coral in color, thrillingly silky in texture but, to us, one-dimensional in flavor; and a much less satisfying salmon from Sally Barnes in Castletownshend. It tasted slightly of petroleum; Mrs. Allen did not know if it was farm-raised or wild.
We're talking here, of course, about Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar), whose range runs from Portugal to Norway to Greenland and down the Atlantic Coast of North America, though the population has been reduced by pollution in the rivers where the fish spawn. Norwegian, Scottish and Irish smokers all use the same fish, as do those that produce the Nova so beloved of New Yorkers; smoked salmon from the Pacific Northwest is altogether different, made from fish -- whether coho or chinook or sockeye -- that are distant cousins of Mr. Salar.

Watch Skydivers Demonstrate Google's Futuristic Glasses
Perhaps the most exciting part of Google's developer conference occurred Wednesday when co-founder Sergey Brin bounded onto the stage after key product announcements to demonstrate the company's "Project Glass" technology-embedded glasses.
Mr. Brin connected via video with a gaggle of folks wearing the glasses overhead in a zeppelin, who then parachuted down to the roof of the conference center in San Francisco. The glasses-wearers then repelled down the side of the building and mountain biked up onto the stage to join him.
Google has been hyping its "Project Glass" technology that features a computer display in a pair of eyeglasses for a while now.
The company said today it will start making the glasses available for pre-order to developers attending its annual developer conference in San Francisco, for $1,500 a pair.
Mr. Brin says they'll start shipping early next year. "We really want to get all of you to help shape" the technology, Brin told attendees.

Building up new muscle
After success in Brookline,GymIt plans Watertown spot
Credit: Stuart Cahill
Everything is working out for the Harrington family when it comes to conquering the Hub's fitness market.
Mark Harrington and his sons, Matt and Mark Jr., are opening their second GymIt in less than two years. The 22,500-square-foot facility will be located on Arlington Street in Watertown, replacing a former SuperFitness.
The Harringtons will spend $1.5 million to transform the space into a larger version of their Brookline-based GymIt on Commonwealth Avenue.
"Since we opened that club we've done a ton of research of gym facilities around the world," said GymIt President Matt Harrington, 30. "We think the new Watertown location is going to be something special and we're really excited for how it's turning out."
Construction of the Watertown GymIt, which includes more than 100 new pieces of cardio and strength equipment, is expected to be completed by the end of February, Matt Harrington said.
People who want to get a healthy start toward their weight-loss New Year's resolutions will only pay $10 for membership until March 19, when the rate returns to GymIt's standard $20 a month. Fitness fanatics can also work out at both locations for $27 a month.
The Harringtons said they typically see three times as many memberships in January compared to other, slower months.
"This time of year, it's not really that great to be outside for exercise anymore. So New Year's resolutions, in addition to the general weather, is really driving the increase in memberships this time of year," Matt Harrington said.
Yet Mark Harrington Sr., 63, who also founded the popular Healthworks fitness franchise for women, said the challenge isn't signing up new members, it's getting them to "change their habits."
"Usually it takes eight to 10 weeks of consistent usage to really convert somebody to a lifetime commitment to work out. Sometimes we're successful in doing that, sometimes not," he said. "But it is important to get them started on the right foot."
The Commonwealth Avenue GymIt is directly across the street from Boston University's FitRec facility, but the Harringtons said they don't sweat this thanks to their prices and member structure.
"What we find is a lot of students stuck around in the Allston-Brighton area," Matt Harrington said. "You're already used to going to a gym in that area. It's just an easy transition for people to cross the street."
Along with operating four Healthworks in Boston and Cambridge, the Harringtons also manage two nonprofit Healthworks Community Fitness gyms in Dorchester — one at Uphams Corner for women, and another at Codman Square for women and children.
"We're looking to expand that concept," Mark Harrington said. "It's pretty remarkable that we've been able to pull this off."

Current Research and Scholarly Interests The commonest heart rhythm disorder is atrial fibrillation (AF). AF is a problem as it can lead to strokes and heart attacks. It is difficult to cure, with many tablets required that are only partially effective. A new way of selecting areas for ablation (burning) focusses on rotors - areas where electrical waves spin like a hurricane. At Stanford, I am working with the developer of this technique to improve understanding of why these occur at certain sites and how better to identify these.

Discovered: Nature Segregates Dirty, Rich Nations From Clean, Poor World - 27 September 2008
:: Written by Sam Aola Ooko
:: EcoWorldly
Nature has finally confirmed it: the industrialized nations may be rich but the air that people breathe in poorer nations in the Southern Hemisphere is cleaner four times over.
A chemical equator - an atmospheric line - discovered by scientists suggests the existence of a 50 kilometer-wide boundary between polluted air of the Northern Hemisphere and the largely uncontaminated atmosphere of the Southern Hemisphere.
In a model, the red that represents high levels of carbon monoxide present in the air in the Northern Hemisphere gives way to blue that reflects clean air of the South; in between, a white-colored 'chemical equator' separates them.
A project study carried jointly by researchers from York, Cambridge and Manchester universities has revealed that carbon monoxide, a tracer of combustion, increased from 40 parts per billion to the south, to 160 parts per billion in the north.
The difference in pollutant levels was increased by extensive forest fires to the north of the boundary and very clean air south of the chemical equator being pulled north from the Southern Indian Ocean by a land based cyclone in northern Australia.
The scientists discovered evidence of the chemical equator using sensors on a specially equipped airplane during a series of flights in Australia.
The discovery will provide important clues to help scientists to model simulations of the movement of pollutants in the atmosphere more accurately, and to assess the impact of pollution on climate.

For us, it was everything. It was our weekend. It was amazing music. It was amazing atmospheres. It was amazing dancing. It was letting your hair down. It was having fun with your mates. It was forgetting your world and escaping. It was getting dressed up. It was getting drunk. It was meeting new boyfriends and girlfriends. It was feeling free.
To jump to the conclusion that it's all down to market forces - that young people just don't want to go to clubs anymore - is ill-informed and misleading. Legendary London venues such as Turnmills, The Cross, Cable, The End and more all closed due to the effects of gentrification and the siren call of property developers - not lack of demand.
Inherently, nightlife and where to find a good party has always been a priority of students. The happiness one can achieve from standing in a room listening to FatBoy Slim's successor, whilst having others sweat hit them in the face like the satchel of a londoner running for the tube, is dubious if anything.
The beach was not the chilled-out haven I'd imagined, with thumping club tunes broadcast across the sand from 12am and frighteningly sunburned girls shrieking expletives because someone had moved their sun lounger a little too close. The boys in matching Baywatch outfits appeared too exhausted even to leer, their vision saturated by the flesh on show.
Australian electro pop duo Parachute Youth have been dominating club land and DJ playlists in Europe with their dance floor hit 'Cant Get Better Than This' since early last year. Having recently touched down in the UK the 2-man group have a fresh new remix which I've been able to premier exclusively on the Huffington Post!
