How to Stop Being Scared
Two Parts:Managing Your Fear in the MomentNot Being Scared in the Long RunCommunity Q&A
Everyone has times in their life when they're scared of things. Human brains are hardwired to have fear and to get scared, but that doesn't mean you have to live with constant and overwhelming fear.
Part 1
Managing Your Fear in the Moment
1Assess the situation. If you're getting scared about something like the possibility that the mole on your arm is cancerous, or a burglar is going to get into your house, assess the situation to see if it's simply anxiety or if there is something to be concerned about.
- If there is something real, do something about it (make an appointment to have a doctor look at the mole, or call the police if someone is actually breaking into your house).
- If you're having difficulty deciding what is real and what isn't because you're too scared, talk to someone: a family member, a trusted friend, a neighbor, even a hotline.
2Breathe. When you're scared and not thinking properly, you tend to start hyperventilating, which increases your fears. Take deep full breaths and relax your body. Start with your shoulders and, as you breathe, work your way down to your feet relaxing each muscle.[1]
- Not only will your breathing calm you and make sure you are getting enough oxygen, focusing on your breathing and relaxing your body makes it so you can't focus on what is scaring you.
- Being scared means that our hypothalamus (which governs flight or fight) activates our sympathetic nervous system and we tense up. It also has the adrenal-cortical system dump a bunch of hormones into our system, so even if we're scared about going to a party and meeting a bunch of new people, our hypothalamus interprets this as a fight or flight situation.
- So breathe and you'll calm the hypothalamus.
3Write down what you are scared of. In the moment, while you're busy being scared, get out a pen and a piece of paper and write down everything you're scared of. This exercise helps you draw your fears out into consciousness. You acknowledge them and it makes it easier to let them go.[2]
- Many of the seemingly scary things go back to a primal fear like being scared of death (the potentially cancerous mole), being scared that no one will like you (going to the party and meeting new people).
- Acknowledging them won't make them magically vanish, but it will help you to better articulate your fears
4Tell someone. If you're having a scary moment, call someone up and talk to them. Make sure it is a trusted friend or family member. You can even call a hotline for people with anxiety.
- Talking to someone can help simply through making a connection, but your friend can also help put your fears to rest.
Part 2
Not Being Scared in the Long Run
1Understand fear. Fear is a learned behavior. No body starts off like being scared of things. We are conditioned through experience and governed by the amygdala in the brain. Anxiety (which is tied to and triggers fear responses) causes the nervous system to flare up, which triggers the fear response.[3]
- Certain pathways in the brain are created by events that trigger fear in us. Following those pathways means that we get stuck in certain patterns of thinking and behavior.
- What this means, of course, is that fear can be unlearned. You have to recondition your brain to either avoid being triggered by certain things, or to react differently to the things that scare you.
2Change your thinking. Being scared is about what pathways are being used and created in the brain. To stop being scared you have to basically rewire your brain. It's not as hard as it sounds thanks to neuroplasticity.[4]
- Neuroplasticity is involved in processing memories and how we learn. By practicing "desensitization" a person can change the pathways in their brain that react fearfully to the things that scare them. "Desensitization" is basically just being exposed to the thing that scares a person in gradual and controlled environments.
- Chart your emotional reaction to physical stimuli and surroundings that cause you to be scared. For instance, if spiders scare you, the physical stimulus is the appearance of the spider. From there the emotional reaction is fear, being scared and this can get heightened all the way to panic levels, depending on your response. Charting this will help you cultivate a detached reaction instead of an emotional reaction to the appearance of a spider.
3Cultivate a detached reaction to scary things. A detached reaction means that you react to the things that scare you from a place of observation rather than emotional reaction. This is something you have to practice and it helps to have mapped out your thought patterns so you understand how scary things make you emotionally react.
- Recognize that you're being confronted with something you find scary and that you can either have an emotional reaction (which will in turn trigger more and more fear and anxiety) or you can have a detached reaction.
- Coach yourself with mantras. Pick a couple mantras and write them down so that you have them with you at all times. Repeat them to yourself when you start having an emotional reaction, so you can short-circuit the reaction. For instance, "this isn't as bad as I am making it," or "I can't control the outcome, so I'm going to let go and trust that it will be okay."
- Do something physically comforting. If you can, drink a cup of tea and focus your whole being on that cup of tea--its warmth, the steam rising from the cup, the smell. Focusing on the physically comforting thing is a form of mindfulness and means that you are living in the moment, which is a place antithetical to fear.
4Don't avoid the things that scare you. Avoiding the things that scare you increase the fear of the scary thing itself and also stops your body from getting accustomed to the thing that scares you, so that the fear can lessen.[5]
- Start small when you're working up to dealing with the things that scare you. For instance, if you're afraid of spiders, start by dealing with small ones in your home and work your way up to bigger spiders.
- If you're afraid of heights, try taking walks in high places that are equipped with safety measures instead of trying right away to make yourself go parachuting.
- Remember: the more you avoid something, the more it will scare you and the more the fear itself will paralyze you. We can't avoid being scared, as humans it's part of our physiological make-up, but we can work on how we react to things that cared us. Nothing is as scary as what we imagine it to be.
5Seek professional help. Sometimes you can't stop being scared by yourself. This usually is a form of panic disorder, anxiety disorder, PTSD, OCD behaviors. Seeking professional help is a good way to work towards dealing with your anxiety and fears.
- Medication can also help, but make sure that you're taking medication as part of an entire program to help overcome your fears. You will need to have counseling as part of that, to retrain your brain.
Community Q&A
I am very scared of blood tests, any tips for that?wikiHow ContributorTry breathing deeply and consistently, concentrating on your breathing most of all. Distract yourself with reading, watching the TV if they have one or playing a game on your phone. It can also be helpful to tell the nurse or doctor that you are afraid and they will be understanding and talk you through it. If you are extremely sensitive to skin touch, let them know that you feel a heightened sense of pain so that they can take extra special care of you.
I try to talk but sometimes people think I am lying what should I do?wikiHow ContributorWhy would they think you were lying? Do people seem to think that you exaggerate? Make your statements calm and to the point.
How do I stop being scared of a horror movie?wikiHow ContributorTry and make any scary moment into a funny one, like make fun of how stupid the victim is or how weird the bad guy looks!!!

I'm scared of terrorists and dying, what should I do?wikiHow ContributorRealize that you are much, much more likely to die from an airplane crash than a terrorist attack, and the chances of the airplane crash are extremely slim. You're thousands of times more likely to die from a car crash. As for death, it's unavoidable. It will happen one day, whether you can help it or not. This life is the only chance you have. Make it count. Maybe your death won't seem so bad if you've already helped the world, so concentrate on doing good things and working towards world peace. Watch less news and read more informative articles about the world.
I am afraid of my mother's boyfriend coming into my room. What can I do to avoid this?wikiHow ContributorYou could talk to your mother and tell her you would appreciate a little more privacy, or maybe a lock on the doorknob. You can also remind yourself you can always talk to him about it if it gets out of hand.
I was raised in poverty and am always scared that I will be back in that place again, especially as an older person. What can I do?wikiHow ContributorYou could start saving money for retirement now, and use your money wisely.

How can I stop being afraid at night when I go to sleep alone?wikiHow ContributorThink calming thoughts.

You could also come up with a fun story in your mind or play some calming music.
Why do I shake all the time?wikiHow ContributorYou could shake for a lot of reasons, you could be suffering from a neural illness, you could be perpetually cold, you could have severe anxiety, you could have muscular dysfunction, and you could have chronically low energy or chronic fatigue syndrome. If this persists for more than a day or becomes a common occurrence, visit a doctor.
How do I spar in boxing if I am afraid of the opponent?wikiHow ContributorFace your fear and use it as fuel to get better at sparring.

How can I overcome silly fears?wikiHow ContributorIt depends on what you mean by silly. On a scale from being afraid of your own shadow to being afraid of the ocean, try conquering your fear by going in headfirst. If you truly think they're silly, perhaps that is the angle to address them from, by dressing them up in frilly attire in your mind and giving those fears daft voices that render them harmless. See your therapist or counselor for more advice.
How can I calm myself before a jump?wikiHow ContributorTake a deep breath, focus your thoughts on something positive and do not dwell on your fear.
What is white coat syndrome?wikiHow ContributorA psychological condition whereby a patient's feeling of anxiety in a medical environment (e.g. a doctor's office) results in an abnormally high blood pressure reading.
I'm petrified of having another stroke and dying like my grandmother did. How do I stop the thoughts?wikiHow ContributorDon't focus on having a stroke, but on how to prevent another one from happening. Read, read, read. Knowledge is power, so arm yourself with as much of it as you can. This will immediately ease your mind.
How can I not be scared of the dark?wikiHow ContributorKeep telling yourself that what you can't see can't hurt you. If you are a person who believes in God, say a pray and know that nothing bad can happen to you because you are protected. Don't watch scary movies if you know you are going to think about it constantly. If you are scared, sleep with a nightlight on.
How can I stop being scared of things I see in the news?wikiHow ContributorStop reading or watching the news, you don't benefit from most of it and if it is really important, you'll hear it from other people. Most of the news is sensationalist or fear-creating on purpose. Also, realize that this is a world of 7 billion human beings. You cannot possibly know more than your local area and all those things happening are context specific and the facts are often lost in translation. Read more widely in well written books, articles and magazines to learn properly and to stop being so scared. Knowledge isn't only power, it's also peace of mind.
How can I calm my fear of car accidents?wikiHow ContributorIf you have already been in one, it would be a good idea to seek help from a therapist, to rule out PTSD and to get good help. Even if you have not been in an accident, there are things you can do, such as not watching or reading about gory accidents, always wearing your seat belt, driving carefully and within the speed limits and not getting lifts with drivers you know to be reckless or under the influence. These are proactive measures you can take to help you to reduce your fear. Also, get your car serviced regularly and ensure that the airbags are fully operational, the brakes work and the tires are in good, working order.
- Calm down. Think of a happy place, and say to yourself "I am not afraid"
- Keep something that gives you comfort close to you as you go to bed.
- Things are not always as bad as they seem. Your mind can trick you into thinking things are much worse than they really are. Be brave and believe it'll be all right.
- Keep a phone in hand. It will give you the security that you can call someone when you're most scared.
- Drawing helps some people to reground themselves after being scared. This could be using a pen, a digital tablet or even making a collage. Maybe even write something like a poem or short story (but keep it light, not scary). Doing something creative can help stop the scared feelings.
- If you like scary movies but can't handle them at night, watch them early in the morning then do fun stuff all day. By the time you've baked cookies, written a song, gone to a football game and planted a garden, you won't even be thinking about "World War Z".
- If possible look for evidence to support you in debunking your fears.
- If you need help, an anxiety helpline number is 888-826-9438.
- Think about something that makes you happy.
- Avoid scary or horror movies especially before going to bed. This helps prevent nightmares.
- Go to bed earlier because getting enough sleep can help keep anxieties from getting bigger and scarier.

Author has written 2 stories for RWBY, and Fire Emblem.
Long time reader and a really novice writer
Honestly I cant put too much time into my writing even though I have 2 stories and I want to add another one. The reason for this is because I'm reading other fanfics, playing video games, working, training for a sport (guess which one) and just life in general.
The third story is fanfic for the Anime The Devil is a Part Timer, and its an Emi, Maou fic and would also have a good amount of OC world building. The story will be a time skip and flashback story, which each chapter will interchange maybe. I haven't written it yet but thought a lot about. Got some nice ideas for it, i'll write a summary of it here later.
Right now I'm trying to finish the chapters of the other stories and brainstorm where it will go from there, didn't know brainstorming takes sooooooo long.

Sleeplessness and Circadian Rhythm Disorder (cont.)
What causes circadian rhythm disorder?
Patient Comments
Most of the time, a person's biological clock, or circadian rhythm, is in synchronization with the 24-hour day-night environment. In some individuals, however, the biological circadian rhythm of sleep and wakefulness is out of phase with the conventional or desired sleep-wake schedule. Some reasons for this breakdown may include the following:

The Baggies crashed out at home as Jay Bothroyd's first goal of the season for Rangers earned a 1-0 win.
"I was disappointed, I thought we had the better chances and Rob Green made some good saves but we went to sleep at a set play.
"The squad's been stretched in recent weeks, the boys have done their best. Maybe the luck we had a few weeks ago has deserted us.
"But as a group, we know what we are trying to do. There's no better team to try and turn it around than against Aston Villa at the weekend.
"There was no hangover from the weekend defeat at Reading. We had good control of the game.
"We played some decent stuff without having a spark. It could not have been a great spectacle but we were the team trying to win it."

BREAKING!!! Obama suggests Republicans unwilling to compromise in gun control debate!!!!
Poster Handle
Post Content
This guy is fucking unbelievable! He has the audacity to preach to the republicans about the virtues of compromise when he himself has steadfastly refused to compromise on anything regarding the spending cuts we desperately need right now.In fact he said he had a mandate from the people and he didn`t have to compromise with congress.When you campaign and you say that we need to control govt. spending and that you`re gonna do that by making some tough choices and that your plan will reduce the deficit by half in 4 years, that`s what the people voted for.Now that he`s safely re-elected he doesn`t plan to make any cuts and in fact has asked for more spending!Mr. Obama,it`s not a mandate when you get re-elected under false pretenses. Hunting has nothing to do with gun rights and you know that, yet you just keep spouting the libtard talking points disregarding the truth in the matter which is that gun free zones like Chicago are a proven cause of more gun deaths because law abiding citizens are left defenseless while the scumbag criminals keep there guns and run roughshod over innocent people.500+ HOMICIDES last year in gun free Chicago, 7 gun related homicides so far this WEEKEND!And you want to expand this policy?! Well it`s no wonder people suspect the true motive behind gun control is much more sinister than what`s being presented.

Born and raised hardcore Buckeye fan with an autographed picture of Woody Hayes on the fire place mantel, moved to Montana in '88. Wife graduated from Penn State. House divided one day a year! We put our T.V. up in August and take it down after the Superbowl, just use it for football, ESPECIALLY college ball! GO BUCKS!!!!!!!!!!

He's going to have to fight for fourth place in the east now-
I don't know who the author is talking about, I don't give two _ichigans about September 2017. BRING ON AUGUST 2016!

I don't know what it is but all the way back in '84 or '85 East had two boys that were huge. Biggest kids that we played against all season and we were in a bigger division too! One was about 6'8" and 280 and the other was 6'2" and about 300 and skrong like bull-
I got pushed around all night and got beat up good by those two but considering I was 6'4" and 255 it could have been worse. For such a small school to have so many bigguns is quite unusual. Good luck Tyler!
My wonderful wife graduated from PSU and hasn't been the same since the scandal broke. She was devastated and is slowly coming to terms with the situation. I agree with everything you said.

Agreed. College rosters are guaranteed to change every year and I find that thrilling and fresh. It's not just a new season but new players and sometimes coaches.
They have good skill at RB, WR and TE but no one knows what they will have at OLine until the season. They don't have "gel" time with the OOC games that are match up contests with Temple and Pitt. This new OC has Franklin's job security in his playbook. He better know how to hide weaknesses.

These were not what I expected. The taste and texture are more like pie than cheesecake. They're also very sweet. I like the nuts in the crust and topping. I think the instructions should have said chilled butter, which is much easier to cut into flour than softened butter. If I make these again, I'll use more cream cheese. DH likes them a lot. Made for PAC Fall 09.

TULSA, Okla. (AP) - AAA Oklahoma says Tulsans are enjoying the lowest gasoline prices in the nation.
The average price for self-serve regular gas was about $3.02 in Tulsa on Tuesday. AAA says that's the lowest citywide average price of all major metro cities in the country. It says some Tulsa locations are selling the fuel for less than $3 per gallon.
Oklahoma City's average price for self-serve regular is about $3.24. Tuesday's statewide average price is about $3.29. It has dropped each of the last 21 days and is now 62 cents below the 2013 high of $3.92 set on May 21.
Regional supply disruptions in May and early June propelled gas prices sharply higher in some parts of the country, including Oklahoma. Prices in Oklahoma and the other areas have since stabilized.

I fancy a change of scenery. I've been racing the TT for 11 years. All I've really done since I was 18, except the trucks, is race motorbikes and my brain needs something else. Every year's the same: testing, racing, then start again. It brought it home to me when I was lying in hospital after the Ulster Grand Prix crash. I've been on about the Tour Divide, the toughest pushbike race in the world, for three years and I thought I'll blink and next thing I'll be 45, so I'm going to do it this year. I like breaking myself mentally and the Tour Divide will be tough, but it's same time at TT, so that's forced me to make a choice.
I'm not done with motorbikes. I'm attempting the Wall of Death record in the spring and having a go at the land speed record in the summer and if I do race on the roads it will be with TAS.
After the Tour Divide I might never want to see a pushbike again – or never want to go road racing again, I don't know. But I do know Bruce Anstey and John McGuinness are still racing the TT, and they've got a few years on me, so maybe I'll come back next year. Or maybe I'll find something else interesting to do. I've got more interests than just motorbikes and I just think let's bloody have 'em.
Thanks very much as ever for the support.

The post Latvia appeared first on Guy Martin Racing.]]>
The programme was originally going to be me sussing out what Latvia was about, but it turns out there's an interesting story on my granddad, that we never knew. We knew he was a prisoner of war, but we found out more. He only died ten years ago, but there was loads of stuff he hadn't even told his own son and daughter.
While I was out there I was looking into the family history, but also travelling around Latvia and meeting the locals, seeing them going about their daily business. It's very like Lincolnshire. It's only been out of Soviet control since 1988. Latvia that is, not Lincolnshire.
My mum and Granddad went over there in 1972 and you couldn't say anything, because walls had ears back then and I like hearing all about stuff like that.
I saw where my granddad grew up and I could see why he settled where he did, near Caistor, where me and most of my family still live.
There are really only two major cities in Latvia, one being the capital, Riga, but the most interesting place we went was Liepaja, on the south-west coast. There are dirt roads between the towns and cities.
It was such an interesting place, and while the country isn't all anti-Russian, most of it is. There's still a lot of Russians there.
It's beautiful. Though maybe that's not the right word, because it's not beautiful like New Zealand or the Lake District, but beautiful like North Lincolnshire. Proper.

The post Vulcan XH558 appeared first on Guy Martin Racing.]]>
"It would be so difficult to do again because the Vulcan is classified as a complex aircraft by the CAA – the Civil Aviation Authority. Spitfires and Lancasters and all that are classed as simple aircraft.
"Before the one the programme concentrates on was made air-worthy again, the CAA said that plane will never fly again, we don't even have a category for it, but Dr Robert Pleming, the main man behind getting it back in the air, said 'Well, what if I do this?' And the authority said, 'Well yes.' And he did that for every problem. It cost £7 million, raised through the charity, Vulcan To The Sky Trust, to get the Vulcan back in the air and it'll never fly again.
"It has 14 miles of wiring and 100,000 components. There are no mechanical links to anything. With a Lancaster or a Spitfire you can see that bit moves that bit, but the Vulcan is all run by mechanical computers: gears and cogs that flick this relay that energises that relay. It is massively complex.
"I was having a craic with the pilots, but as soon as it came to the pre-flight checks they turned into robots. They aren't nervous going up in it because they spend an hour doing pre-flight checks, every button is checked.
"The majority of Vulcans were based in Coningsby, Scampton and Waddington, all Lincolnshire air bases, but that link to Lincolnshire doesn't make me like it more, even though this county is the centre of the universe. It just made sense to base bombers here because of it's strategic location during World War II and the Cold War. The attraction is just that the Vulcan is a fascinating plane with a lot of history.
"There was a week of celebration of the plane, just before it was parked up for good and during that week I went up in The Blades' stunt plane and flew so close to the Vulcan that I felt I could have reached out and touched its wing. It was another money couldn't buy it experience that i've had through the TV job.
"You can watch the programme on Channel 4 on Sunday 29th November at 19.30 hours."

I hope you'll update that to be consistent with the App World Agreement, which among other things states "The Application EULA shall at a minimum include provisions excluding RIM ... from any liability whatsoever ... and shall make RIM... [a beneficiary] to the Application EULA in respect of these provisions".
I think of legal documents such as License Agreements as pieces of software. They are executed by the legal system (courts, etc). You (or the author of them, preferably a lawyer) are the programmer. Unless you're an expert in the programming language used (i.e. legalese), your software will have bugs -- bugs which will result in the software not working, perhaps even being counterproductive. Hackers (i.e. lawyers not paid by you) have full access to the source code and can study it to find all the bugs (loopholes).
In such a case, you may be better off having no EULA at all than one riddled with bugs.

When you (and I) first registered, one of the checkboxes led to us accepting a Vendor Agreement with Digital River, which I guess is one of the initial "Merchants of Record" (aka MoR, from the App World Agreement). I suppose your app will be sold through their "kiosk", or something like that.
Not concerned. I logged in with the credentials supplied and they have information that would only be known by BB from our original submission. It seems to be credible, more surprised and hopeful that the process is moving along.

The other reason why I posted and asked is that the email got stuck in my spam folder, so everyone should keep an eye on that too.

Going, Going, Gone: Vanishing Americana, one of my favorite books, offers compelling evidence of how fast our world is being transformed. On page after page, we see products, services, vocations and styles that once seemed integral to daily life but have nearly or completely disappeared. Remember milkmen? Carbon paper? Phone booths? Drive-in movies?

"When you get into the larger aircraft it becomes like a hotel, with dozens of staff supporting the plane based in a galley area down below. You have very comprehensive cooking facilities, and on larger aircraft we have looked at theatres, with spiral staircases and a Steinway grand piano. The limitations for what you can put inside a plane are pretty much the limits of physics, and even money cannot always overcome that. Even so, people are still always trying to push [the limits]. "

Youth worker and Inspire reader Jonathan Buckley was chosen to be a torchbearer when the Olympic flame made its way through the Rotherham area last week. This is his account of the day:
"Our God is a great and faithful God. He's a God who loves to treat His children – those who follow Him – and this past week He treated me well.
"I woke up at 6.30am last Tuesday (26 June) as if I was an eight-year-old on Christmas morning, before nipping down to the shop to buy a copy of The Times (to make sure my name was in the list of torchbearers for the day).
"It was then a quick run across to Clifton Park next to my house to see the torch come through Rotherham just after 9am, before heading for Doncaster College for the Deaf for 10.30am where I was met by staff involved in organising the torch relay and my fellow torch bearers.
"Just before 1pm the torch came into the college – carried by none other than Sky Sports legend Chris Kamara – and then our adventure began! There were 20 of us on our relay shuttle bus, with the first runner starting out at the college. We were at the front of the convoy – where each of the torchbearers were dropped off at their starting points to a huge round of applause by everyone on the bus.
"I've never felt such genuine warmth towards a bunch of folk who I'd only met a couple of hours beforehand. A bunch of fantastic people who had fully deserved what was ahead of them.
"Then shortly after 1pm we approached the main street going through Armthorpe – where I was about to run. Armthorpe is a small ex-mining town on the outskirts of Doncaster. What's made this torch relay so special I think is that it's gone through some of the 'forgotten' towns, villages and cities of the country – and boy did the folk of Armthorpe respond!
"As we approached on the shuttle bus all we could see was people ... and flags ... and more people. Reflecting upon the experience I just want to cry – is that what heaven's going to be like? People coming out to celebrate the goodness of God in their lives?
"To see my parents, friends and family – and loads of people I'd never met before – all wanting to shake my hand, touch the torch and have their photo taken – special. Very special.
"God's called us to be bearers of good news to this earth. He's called us to shine – to shine for Him. In one sense Tuesday was culmination of a decade of service to young people in the UK and Uganda; in another sense it was just the start of a life of service to Christ. Who knows where else that life of service might take me?"

The campground is very convenient to Franklin. It is quiet. The folks are very friendly. There are shower/restroom and laundry facilities available. It also offers WiFi. We have enjoyed our stay so far. - Texas Grown
Apr 2016 - $40.00
The sites were gravel and level. It was easy to get into the sites. However, there were fire ant hills every where and dogs running loose and not being picked up after. It was a quick stop on our way but I'll never stay there again. - northern ranger
Jan 2013 - $15.00
Nightly rate was $30-40 per night. With Passport America was only $15. Great people at store. We called in earlier in the day and when we got there they knew our name. A big park. Roads are wide, pull-throughs are really big and place was easy to get to. Franklin seems to be great little town. I would stay here again without a problem. Their website is not working. - JustDon

A small park along the highway with a friendly host, but rutted gravel roads and sites so close that slide outs almost touch. About half of the overnight pull-thrus were occupied by permanent residents, and most were not unsightly. The water line was cracked and sprayed water on to the power pedestal, and the general appearance was one of disrepair. The free Wi-Fi worked well, and Verizon cell and data were good. No cable, but a clear shot to the satellite from most sites. The train noise at night was loud enough to awaken us. Franklin doesn't offer much for dining except for the Dairy Queen. We'll pass this town next time. - Meanderman
Mar 2012 - $27.00
Good for an overnight stopover. We stayed on one of the pull through sites and they are a little close but as the sites weren't full we could move over some for a little more room. The previous posters didn't mention the train that is across the highway. It ran during the day but we didn't hear it the night we were here. Good cell phone with AT&T and great Wi-Fi. Road are gravel and dirt. I would stay here again. - nedmtnman
Apr 2011 - $25.00
What a great couple running this park! They bend over backwards to make you feel welcomed and rested. Great shade trees and gathering area for grilling and visiting. Can't wait for the next bus rally at R V Relay Station! Ya'll come now, ya hear? - Becky & Paul

This is a fairly rustic rv park with lots of trees. The restrooms/showers are older but clean and adequate. The sites are not perfectly level but close enough. We stay here when visiting friends who live in Hilltop Lakes and will do so again. Our site, 32, was excellent for satellite reception. - golfkitty
Jan 2012 - $30.00
Stayed there for a couple of weeks. Very quiet except on weekends; it then turns into a deer hunting camp with large campfires, loud talking late at night, and bathrooms left a mess. Found a very large pile of chewing tobacco in shower. Wi-Fi was very weak and slow. No cell phone service for AT&T and Sprint. Grass burrs everywhere. Everyone drives fast through park, even security! Sorry can't come back! - CitizensReflect

No shade. Dog crap all over. Water was off and we could not reach anyone at emergency #. The spaces were so narrow we could not put our awning out. The septic hookup for the site beside us was no more than four feet from our pad. Concrete pad was so sloped our front wheels were off the surface when we leveled. WiFi never worked. I would never stay here again. Could be a nice park if it was better maintained. - AZ RVer
Nov 2015 - $35.00
Stayed here to visit the George Bush library which is about 12 miles away. The park is owned by Dallas investors and managed by a husband/ wife team. The park is primarily full time residents. There is no sign for the office so we took a tour of the park trying to find it and finally called them and she explained how to get there. The park looks worn out, the water utilities were in bad shape. Was impressed with the nice concrete pad on the pull thru space I was given. It was dry when I was there but you could see that drainage would be an issue when it rains.
While I was disconnecting the water hose to leave, the PVC pipe came right off in my hand and we had Old Faithul blowing over the top of my motor home for about 15 minutes. When I went to the office, one of the residents who had seen the leak was ahead of me and requested the water shutoff tool to shut off the water. You could tell that she had done this before. - Dieselrv08

We were planning to stay here long-term, but moved to a nicer park shortly before our next month rent was due. Although we had plenty of room between us and neighbors, our site was literally a mud pit. Seriously. There was not enough gravel to support our rig (although I asked about this on phone prior to our arrival and was assured by manager there was plenty of gravel and she would bring in more if necessary - that didn't happen and wasn't going to); front landing gear kept sinking. Loose dogs everywhere - people would just open their doors and let their dogs out - (even though I had been assured by manager on phone that she enforced the leash rule), dog deposits all over the grounds/sidewalks and nowhere really to walk our dog except on a strip of grass next to the road. Restrooms were rundown and icky, and were not restocked for weeks. Laundry facilities were so outdated and bad we took ours to a nearby laundromat. WiFi was nonexistent. Back section is mobile home park (we were in front section with RVs, some short-term but mostly long-term). Most of the rigs were run down, tarps on them, very unsightly and depressing. We made reservations sight unseen, as we were out of the state and there were no openings anywhere else since it was football season. This was not a "decent neighborhood" by any stretch of the imagination for long-term considerations. Daily rate was based on monthly rent. - bbarnes2886

Hard to get into park from highway....narrow driveways. Dirt roads. Narrow interior roads and sites are all straight not angled. All lots are very narrow. Website shows concrete pad......there is only one in entire park. We were the only motorhome in the park. Workers rev up the diesels at 6:00am. No outside lights...just as well been on the back 40. For $40/night it is outrageous for what they have. I consider it a dump! If this and the sister park that is all that is available. Just stay on the Walmart lot or go to another town. Good wifi - Buddy and Nana

We stayed at Marino in the past and came back in hopes of better management and glad we did. New ownership and management was very nice and friendly and assisted us with set up and told us where was the best restaurants and all. Very clean bathrooms and showers ,new paint jobs, and flowers everywhere. Management was working everyday we were there with a smile on faces and waving. Very quiet park even full. We will for sure be back when in the area. - roseofsharon

Very clean and well maintained. Long concrete pullthrus. Good utilities. They offer cable tv that is a little different. They give you a cable box and remote to hook up. Not difficult at all, just different. There is some highway noise since it's on the highway. Easy on and off. We would stay here again. - The Griffins

We had problems with cable TV reception, but the most annoying aspect of our one night stay was the problem we had with connecting to the strangest looking water faucet I've ever seen. It seemed to have its own pressure regulator which malfunctioned for us when I connected my hose, with or without my own pressure regulator attached. The flow of water would be normal one minute and then slow to a trickle and stop altogether. The faucet connection would leak one moment and not the next. The problems we had with the delivery of two out of four services to an RV is the reason for our low rating of this facility. - Bart1979
Nov 2015 - $34.00
So very clean. Concrete pad, concrete patio, paved roads, grass strip between sites. Fairly close spacing to neighbor and neighbors sewer hose. Clean and spacious private toilet/sink/shower rooms. Good wifi, electric, water. Cable tv requires a cable box supplied by the park. We're used to connecting the box ahead of our coach cable system with two long cables through a slightly opened window to the cable box without messing with the cables connected to the tv. No picnic table. No fenced dog park. Many A&M fans leave their coaches here so call ahead for reservations. Very helpful Manager with important information. Some road noise but not bad. Rate was with Good Sam discount. - Markk

Overall this hostal was ok, you pretty much get what you paid for, we had a nice room with a balcony, the bathrooms and breakfast were average. The main thing I didn't like about this place was the location, it's on the end of two favelas and there was an incident there during our stay which didn't make us feel too safe.

This is a U.S. national stage of International application No. PCT/DE02/04346 filed 27 Nov., 2002.
This patent application claims priority of German patent application no. 10164016.1 filed 28 Dec. 2001, the subject matter of which is hereby incorporated by reference.
The invention relates to an organic light emitting diode (OLED for short) with at least one polymer layer.
Organic light emitting diodes exhibit a series of advantages which make them attractive for use in optoelectronics. These include the availability of many emission colors, low threshold voltages, fast switchability, small thickness and the possibility of using flexible substrates. Typical areas of application of OLEDs are pixelated display instruments and large-area elements for illumination purposes.
One important development goal for OLEDs is to increase the luminous efficiency and, associated with this, to reduce the power consumption. This is of importance particularly for portable electronic devices, in which only limited energy resources are available.
The majority of the previous developments for maximizing the luminous efficiency have been concerned with increasing the internal quantum efficiency. The latter is defined as the ratio between the photons generated in the diode to the injected electrons. New materials with improved luminescence properties, optimized layer sequences or better adapted electrode materials have contributed to increasing the internal quantum efficiency in recent years.
A different approach for increasing the luminous efficiency consists in improving the extraction efficiency. Extraction efficiency is understood as the probability with which a photon generated in the emission zone can be coupled out of the diode and thus ejected. Coupling-out losses arise as a result of absorption or as a result of waveguidance in one of the layers. Waveguidance is caused by total reflection at the interface of two layers with different refractive indexes. In the case of planar interfaces, the angle between incident and reflected beam does not change apart from the sign. Accordingly, once a photon has been subjected to total reflection, it remains confined in the corresponding layer and cannot be extracted.
The representation of
A transparent electrode 2 (generally indium tin oxide, ITO for short) is situated on a substrate 3. At least one organic layer 1 is deposited on said electrode, said layer being followed by an electrode 5 (e.g. a cathode). Photons are generated by emitters 6 in the organic layer 1. Only photons which do not remain in one of the layers 1–3 and 5 as a result of waveguidance are extracted. The line IV shows the path of an extracted photon by way of example.
Depending on the layer thickness and refractive index of the individual layers, wave-guiding effects, indicated by the lines I, II and III in
If the formation of layer modes can be disturbed and the undesirable waveguidance can thus be minimized, the extraction efficiency is increased and so, too, is the luminous efficiency.
The optical modes formed in a thin planar layer are dependent not only on the wavelength but essentially on the layer thickness and the refractive index of the layer.
A change in the refractive index and thus the disturbance of the wave-guiding effects can be achieved by means of inhomogeneities in the organic layer if the inhomogeneities have a different refractive index than the layer matrix.
To date, the approaches a) to c) briefly outlined below have been proposed for suppressing wave-guiding effects, in which case a) and b) aim at changing the refractive index and c) utilizes a change in the layer thickness:
a) Dispersion of nanoparticles in one of the organic layers of the OLED (S. A. Carter et al., Enhanced luminance in polymer composite light emitting devices, Appl. Phys. Lett. 71(9), p. 1145, 1997)
In this case, particles of TiO2, SiO2 or Al2O3 having a size of 30 to 80 nm are embedded in the polymeric emitter material MEH-PPV.
This method is associated with the following difficulties:
It is technically very difficult to disperse nanoparticles uniformly in a solvent in which polymers have already been dispersed or dissolved. The consequence of poorly dispersed nanoparticles is an inhomogeneous emission of the LED layer which contains said nanoparticles, for which reason diodes produced in such a way are not suitable for use in display instruments.
The oxidic nanoparticles proposed can lead to a degradation of the active layer through oxidation. Accordingly, a significantly shorter service life has been observed in the case of the diodes with nanoparticles than in the case of the reference diodes.
b) Densely packed SiO2 microspheres (T. Yamasaki, K. Sumioka, T. Tsutsui: Organic light-emitting device with an ordered monolayer of silica microspheres as a scattering medium, Appl. Phys. Lett. 76(10), p. 1243, 2000).
In this case, monolayers of densely packed SiO2 spheres with a diameter of 550 nm are used as scattering centers. In this case, the spheres are applied on the substrate beside the ITO anode tracks. This makes it possible to suppress waveguidance in the organic layers and in the glass. An increase in the coupling-out efficiency was observed.
This method is associated with the following difficulties:
The application of densely packed sphere areas can be realized only with a very high effort. Moreover, a large-area application of such areas of several square centimeters has not yet been realized hitherto. The scattering centers are situated outside the active diode volume. Accordingly, only a small part of the substrate surface can be utilized for light generation. Furthermore, an inhomogeneous luminance results.
The periodic structure of the dense sphere packing means that the scattering efficiency is highly wavelength-selective. Accordingly, a generally undesirable lateral color profile occurs.
c) Corrugated (wave-shaped) organic layers (J. M. Lupton et al., Bragg scattering from periodically microstructured light emitting diodes, Appl. Phys. Lett. 77(21), p. 3340, 2000).
In this case, a polymeric LED is applied on a one-dimensionally periodic structure with a period of 388 nm and depths of 10–100 nm. The structure acts as a Bragg reflector and again leads to scattering of optical modes in the emitter material.
This method is associated with the following difficulties:
The periodicity of the structure leads to a high degree of angular dispersion. A 15 nm thin gold layer was used as the anode, said gold layer already having a high degree of absorption despite the small layer thickness. Transferring the corrugation to the transparent ITO that is otherwise customary as a standard anode is difficult to realize on account of the larger ITO layer thicknesses and high process temperatures.
Furthermore, there are diverse approaches for better coupling-out of the substrate modes. However, since these methods cannot prevent the formation of optical modes in thin layers, they are not taken into consideration for preventing the wave-guiding effect.
One object of the present invention is to provide an organic active OLED layer and a method for producing it in which particular precautions are taken to minimize the wave-guiding effect without the service life of the layer being severely shortened as a result of the use of organic materials.
This and other objects are attained in accordance with one aspect of the present invention directed to an organic light emitting diode (OLED) with at least one organic layer which has refractive index inhomogeneities, wherein the organic layer has at least one first partial region and at least one second partial region which comprise organic material and have different refractive indices, and the partial regions form a layer with a composite-like structure.
Another aspect of the present invention is directed to a method for producing an organic light emitting diode (OLED) with at least one organic layer which has refractive index inhomogeneities wherein the material of the organic layer is applied to a carrier in such a way that, during or after the coating step, at least one first partial region and at least one second partial region form in the layer. The partial regions have different refractive indices, and the partial regions form a layer with composite-like structure.
According to an aspect of the invention, inhomogeneities are introduced in at least one organic layer of the OLED, said inhomogeneities themselves having an organic composition. The organic inhomogeneities have a different refractive index than a layer matrix and consequently disturb the wave-guiding effects.
For comparison,
In order to produce an organic layer with partial regions with different refractive indices, use is made of a mixture of plastics, the properties of which permit utilization as an active OLED layer or else as a passive intermediate layer, or a mixture of its starting materials. Separation processes during or after layer formation are utilized in a targeted manner in order to obtain a layer containing two or more phases in this case. In a particular preferred variant, the phases with a different refractive index comprise different plastics.
In order that the refractive index inhomogeneities contribute particularly effectively to the extraction of the photons from the transparent layer, it is advantageous that a composite-like structure forms as a result of the separation in the layer. In this case, composite-like structure is understood as principally the structure of a particle-filled plastic, and also the structure of a composite with two three-dimensionally interpenetrating individual components, as is also produced for example when an open-pored plastic body is filled with a second plastic.
In order to obtain a layer having at least two phases, at least two polymers are dissolved or dispersed, which separate during the removal of the solvent or dispersant or already separate before the drying of the layer as a result of separation of the solvents or dispersants.
Instead of working with substances that have already been polymerized, it is conceivable to use monomeric or oligomeric starting materials of the polymers for coating, in which case the separation of the at least two phases may occur before, during or after polymerization.
In another preferred variant, the layer is composed chemically of a single polymeric material which has, in island regions with respect to the matrix, differences in material properties such as crystallinity, degree of branching, degree of crosslinking, density and copolymerization, and thus differences in refractive index.
Different charge carrier transport materials, emitter materials and arbitrary mixtures thereof may be used as plastics. It is also possible to use further, electrically inactive plastics or their precursors.
By varying the production conditions, separation process and chemical reactions and thus the structure and the optical properties of the plastic layer can be influenced in a targeted manner.
The explanations concerning
This involves the polymer materials poly(paraphenylene-vinylene) derivative (PPV) and poly(N-vinylcarbazole) (PVK), which were mixed and spun-on in solution as a layer on a substrate.
The mixture of the dissolved plastics comprised one third PPV and two thirds PVK. After the spinning-on, a separation of the two materials occurred, in the course of which large structures made of PVK formed with small satellites in a PPV matrix. This is shown in the micrograph of the surface of the organic layer produced, as shown in
As in exemplary embodiment 1, this involves PPV and PVK which were mixed and spun on in solution as a layer.
In this example, the mixture comprises 50% PPV and 50% PVK. The micrograph of the organic layer produced in this case, illustrated in
In both the micrographs, the light areas are composed of PVK and the dark areas are composed of PPV.
The exemplary embodiments verify how a different size and a different size distribution of the scattering centers can be obtained by varying the mixture ratios of the two plastics. This advantageously affords the possibility of setting the optical properties of the organic layer in a targeted manner.
It goes without saying that the present invention is not restricted to the polymer materials mentioned in the two exemplary embodiments, but rather can be applied to all materials suitable in terms of their electrical properties for organic LEDs.
Furthermore, with a single plastics material, for example, it is possible to obtain a similar effect to a separation if crystalline regions form within an amorphous matrix.
The scope of protection of the invention is not limited to the examples given hereinabove. The invention is embodied in each novel characteristic and each combination of characteristics, which includes every combination of features which are stated in the claims, even if this combination of features is not explicitly stated in the claim.

For a constructor with a single parameter, is it OK to throw an ArgumentNullException inside the constructor if the parameter is null/empty? OR, should it be thrown in the method that actually uses the argument? Thanks.
We started with Q&A. Technical documentation is next, and we need your help.
Whether you're a beginner or an experienced developer, you can contribute.
Yes, if it is completely essential then throw the exception. You should not* throw the exception later.
Always remember the "Fail Early Principle". Concept being fail now, so you don't waste time debugging or experience unexpected system functionality.
Alternatively you could also throw a ArgumentException for "" and ArgumentNullException for null. In either case make sure you throw a valid Exception message.
Always a good reference article for managing exceptions: Good Exception Management Rules of Thumb
Side note on what @Steve Michelotti said (because i am a huge fan of CodeContracts)
Throwing it in the constructor is fine - there are several classes in the .NET framework that do this. Additionally, check out code contracts for this.
From what it sounds like, you pass in a parameter into the constructor to be held by the class for use in some other method later on. If you're not actually using the argument in the constructor, you should probably think about moving the argument to be a parameter of the method that's actually using it.
I'd put the check in the property that you set when the constructor is called... That way the exception would be thrown in all cases.

I have a design question :)
I want to have multiple servlets but I dont want to configure a new servlet with a new name each time and extend the HttpServlet. I was thinking of having a generic servlet which dispatches different parameters to different specific classes that are actually handling the request.
Ex: theese two calls will be handled by the same generic servlet but dispatched to different services (classes).
/serviceservlet?action=action1¶m1=test1¶m2=test2 /serviceservlet?action=action2¶m21=test
This can be done in many different ways and I dont know for which design to go by. The one I have right now is using guice for bootstrapping and looks like this:
@Singleton public class ServiceServlet extends HttpServlet {
private static final String PARAM_ACTION = "action";
private final Service1 service1; // Service1 is an interface
private final Service2 service2; // Service2 is another interface
public ServiceServlet(final Service1 service1) {
this.service1 = service1;
public ServiceServlet(final Service2 service2) {
this.service2 = service2;
public void doPost(final HttpServletRequest request, final HttpServletResponse response) {
String action = ServletUtils.getStringParameter(request, PARAM_ACTION);
if ("action1".equals(action)) {
... check that the parameters are correct before executing the below to have typesafety
service1.process(request.getParameter("param1"), request.getParameter("param2"));
} else if ("action2".equals(action)) {
... check that the parameters are correct before executing the below to have typesafety
In principle I would like to handle the services in a more generic way and I want it to be as easy as possible to add new services later, but I dont want to loose typesafety. What do you think is the best strategy?
