Lizard love
By the blue lizard
from some sunny spot
This is not the first World Jerseys jersey that I've purchased. They fit more true to size now; this one is a medium and the first was a large and they fit about the same. They seem to have gone to a lighter fabric as well, which is better for summer riding. The zippers could be a little higher quality. The sleeves are fairly short, which is fine with me, but some may not like it. I had my eye on this design for a while, so when it went on sale I had to snag it.
nice jersey

About Me Competitive Cyclist
I would recommend to those with a fairly lean waistline. I am 5'11" 170lb and I find that the large is a very fitted jersey. My only complaint is the sleeves ride a little high compaired to some other jerseys I have. Nice quality.
Love this shirt!
By Withlacoochee Pavement Pounder

I love this shirt. Have received many compliments on it and matches my Trek and other gear very well plus it is very comfortable and stayed pretty dry in 84 degree heat. Now I just need to get my hands on a Golden Gecko pale ale to taste what i'm promoting!

GGG proudly presented the designs of Marc Fornes, Volkan Alkanoglu, Billi Kid and other prominent street and graffiti artists, architects and designers who have challenged, and continue to challenge, the status quo in urban contemporary art and design during its 5th exhibition in December 2011. The inventiveness that permeate their respective processes of design – from their original visions to the unique methodologies they employ in the fabrication of their work – reflected the philosophy upon which GGG was founded. From a monumental installation made of more than 12,000 unique parts to modern furniture to pieces of the NBA All Star Game basketball court re-imagined, the designs at this year's show was a testament to the progressive nature of the field of urban contemporary art and design.
With the artists gathered alongside their fellow street artisans — dancers, musicians, food vendors and other urbanites — GGG creates a unified platform that celebrates the ethos of urban culture. It seems only fitting that SUSHISAMBA, which was born of the energy and spirit of Japanese, Brazilian and Peruvian cuisine, music and design, would host such an exciting and cohesive event.
GGG is the brainchild of SUSHISAMBA founder Shimon Bokovza, who has consistently demonstrated his support for street art. In addition to producing and underwriting previous exhibitions, he has commissioned site-specific street art in SUSHISAMBA restaurants throughout the country and now internationally in London. "We would only call upon the best talent to execute a dream that was sparked with the inception of Art Basel Miami Beach," Bokovza says of GGG.
SUSHISAMBA's ongoing appreciation of urban contemporary art has been reflected in the annual GGG exhibition and demonstrates the transformation of what was once viewed as a rogue art form into a respected niche with an exponentially growing fan base.
About SUSHISAMBA
SUSHISAMBA is a lifestyle group with a deep passion for art, food, music and entertainment. Encouraging the breakdown of barriers, SUSHISAMBA uses cultural inspiration to create a unique vision that champions advancements in cuisine, music, design and the arts.

BUT, I like this one better:
1 cup of borax
1 cup of washing soda
1\2 cup of oxy clean
1 grated bar of Fels-Naptha soap
(optional: few drops of essence oil)
Once grated, allow the soap to dry for awhile (a day or two is fine).
Mix all ingredients well.
Use one tablespoon per load of clothes.
Cost: depending on what ingredients cost in your area, about $2 per batch!!
I only like this better because it takes up WAY less space than the liquid - AND....imagine how pretty it would be in a glass jar with a piece of Christmas fabric tied to the lid and a tablespoon tied to it! (can you guess what WE are giving as gifts this year?!)

Non-Jaded Comics Fan: The 90s
June 15th, 2009
Author Lucas Siegel
Ahhh, the 90s. A time of screaming mouths, big hair left over from the 80s, more feral mutants than you could shake a stick at, and of course, big guns and bigger shoulder pads.
Skottie Young brought up the 90s over the weekend on his Twitter account, focusing on how people look down at the era and disparage everything about it. I couldn't help but not only agree, but also look back on the era of comics I grew up with.
I love Cable, I love X-Cutioner's Song, which was going on when I got into comics, I flipped out when the X-books were "canceled" bringing about the Age of Apocalypse. There were Spider-men, who seemed to double more than Multiple Man. An AIDS analogue struck mutants across the globe. Batman was broken, Superman died, and of course, Hal Jordan went insane with evil power.
Man, I loved 90s comics, especially early 90s. That's when I first really got into the books that have now become a major part of my life. For me, it started with a crossover issue featuring both Spider-man and the X-Men, which my mom bought at a grocery store, knowing I loved the brand new X-Men: The Animated Series. I was amazed by the range of stories that could be told in these little magazines. Plus, it was easier to enjoy over and over again.
I didn't become a real "collector." I kept my comics, but I wasn't obsessed with bags and boards or any of that. I wanted them easy to access and easy to read. My ultimate favorite storyline was definitely Age of Apocalypse. I was already a fan of the idea of alternate worlds in all forms of media, and here was one with my favorite characters of the time. The re-inventions of these characters were so cool, from new costumes to new alliances, and even some that were almost completely different, like Nate Grey, Cable's double from this reality. I read the story in its entirety about 6 times as a kid. I've since gone back and re-read it at least 4 or 5 more. A lot of it was over-the-top, and even downright silly, but even now (I last read the story last year) it still strikes me as one of the most fun experiences I've had reading comics.
Are these the best-written or best-drawn stories ever? No, and some of them are downright goofy. But there's no need to look back on them with anything less than fond remembrance. It was a time of decadence in ways different than the decadence of today, but not necessarily in worse or better ways. There's no need to say "90s superhero comics suck," even if they weren't exploring the same range of emotion or realism as some books today do. But hey, I'm just a non-jaded comics fan.
I couldn't agree more. Things were happening in the 90s that got you excited about comics. I also did a lot of my growing up in the 90s, so I was easier to influence. But so much memorable stuff from the 90s:
-Green Lantern Emerald Twilight & Zero Hour
-Death & Return of Superman
-Batman: Knightfall and Knightsend
-Spider-Man: Todd McFarlane
-Spider-Man: Clone Saga
-X-Men: Age of Apocalypse
-X-Men: Fatal Attractions
-X-Men & Marvel: Onslaught
-Marvel: Heroes Reborn (Nobody liked it then, but me, but everyone sure ate-up Ultimates, which was basically the same thing but in the next decade)
-DC: Armageddon 2001
-Flash: Terminal Velocity
-Morrison's JLA
-Kingdom Come
-Image Comics
-Dark Horse Comics
I could keep going and going. But all those stories had a huge impact on me as a comic fan.

SCOOBA – The East Mississippi Community College defense deserved a round of applause, and head coach Buddy Stephens made sure that happened.
"Defense got the game ball," Stephens said. "We made the offense stand up and give a standing ovation because (the defense) did a great job."
The defense led the No. 5 (National Junior College Athletic Association poll) Lions to a 35-0 win over Holmes Community College Saturday afternoon at Sullivan-Windham Field on homecoming weekend.
EMCC, which improved to 6-0 overall and 3-0 in the North Division play, only allowed 200 total yards and forced four turnovers.
A big part of that was former Starkville High standout D.J. Jordan.
"My attitude on defense is to not let them score or get a first down," the sophomore linebacker said. "If they get a first down, we just tighten up every time. We try to get a three-and-out every possession. We work hard in practice."
The Bulldogs finished the day with only nine first downs.
The Lions struggled offensively in the first half and could not find a rhythm offensively.
Stephens noted the lack of execution had a big part to do with a scoreless game.
"The lack of execution, dropping balls, missing passes high, missing passes low and missing passes behind you are a lack of focus," Stephens said. "We as coaches have to quit having to coach effort."
It was the first time since 2008 in Stephens' first game with EMCC that it was held scoreless in the first half. It was also the first time since the 2009 Itawamba Community College game when the Lions didn't score for two straight quarters. They were shut out in the second half of that contest.
Stephens was not to happy with his offense's performance and was hoping for a better second-half showing.
"I don't know what (somebody) did with our offense, but I'm glad they gave the offensive guys back to us in the fourth quarter," Stephens said. "Offensively, we played like we've been practicing. It has shown the last two weeks. We are going to get it fixed. We'll get it fixed or will have less people around. The tractor isn't broke. We just have to tinker with it a little bit."
EMCC quarterback Quez Johnson found fellow Starkville native Billy Shed for a 46-yard pass completion to put the Lions in a first-and-goal situation from the 6-yard line.
Facing a fourth and goal from the 1-yard line, Stephens elected to go for it, and sophomore Rodriguez Moore punched it in, while Morgan Rhodes added the extra point to make it 7-0 with 2:50 to go in the third quarter.
Johnson hooked up with Nick Brassell for a 32-yard passing touchdown to make it 14-0 with 9:57 to go in the fourth quarter.
"(Johnson) settled down," Stephens said. "He played more (ticked) off. He got hit and they shoved him in the head one time and it (ticked) him off. He started playing mad and it helped a lot."
Midway through the fourth quarter, the defense gave the offense another opportunity to score.
Sophomore defensive back Justin Cox picked off a Bulldog pass and Johnson found Moore for a 32-yard scoring toss to make it 21-0.
"The defense played lights out," Stephens said. "(Defensive coordinator) William (Jones) did a great job to get them game ready. They were going through a walk through this morning to make sure they had everything right. We ran to the ball well. They are the reason we won the ballgame. They put us in great position three or four different times."
For Jordan and the defense, giving the offense a short field is their goal.
"We just kept trying to boost their confidence," Jordan said. "(We wanted to) get a three-and-out every time and hopefully get the offense in a good position to score."
Xavier Hogan rushed it in from 5 yards out and Johnson found Martay Mattox for a 16-yard passing touchdown.
Johnson finished the day 27-of-53 passing with 347 yards and three touchdowns. He also rushed the ball nine times for 8 yards.
Shed finished the game with eight catches for 120 yards and a score.

Today's vintage musclecar packs more power, is driven faster, and most of all, is asked to stop a whole lot quicker than 40 years ago. And as retro as those drums may look through your mag wheels, the original brake system can't be counted on to stop quickly should trouble arise. In other words, a decrease in stopping distance can mean the difference between a close call or some crumbled Chevy fenders.
However, there is good news. Master Power Brakes has a disc brake kit (available for all popular GM musclecars) that can convert your ride from those low-performing and slow-stopping drums to a stop-on-a-dime, four-wheel disc-brake dancer that rivals many new-car braking standards. The kit comes with easy-to-follow instructions and a handy tech line to call, if needed. To see how this installation works, we used a '65 Chevrolet Biscayne that still wore the factory four-wheel drum system. Master Power offers several kits for this application. For ours we chose three of the options, including a front disc brake conversion kit that bolts to the existing drum spindles, a power-operated tandem master cylinder kit complete with the proper proportioning valve, and a rear disc brake kit that bolts on to the stock rearend housing. If you opt to use the GM rear disc brake rotors, you'll need to have your axle flanges turned down to 5 7/8-inch o.d. to gain the needed clearance inside the hub of the new rotors. If you have aftermarket hardened axles, check with the axle manufacturer first.
Whether you own a full-size Chevrolet, Chevelle, Camaro, Nova, or other GM car, chances are there is a Master Power Brakes kit available for your specific application. Hang on as we show you the ins and outs of adding a power four-wheel disc brake system onto our lead-sled Biscayne. We just hope the T3 headlights won't fly out when we hit those new disc brakes hard.

Spread the news:
Joel Rosen is back.
Rosen, the man behind the legendary Baldwin-Motion SS and Phase III big-block Camaros, Novas, Chevelles, Biscayne Street Racer Specials, and Corvette Supercars of the '60s and '70s, has returned with a 21st Century version of the mind-blowing cars that roared out of his shop in Baldwin, Long Island, New York, and terrorized the streets not only in the U.S., but around the world.
He's once again joined by Marty Schorr, who was part of the original Motion Performance group that turned out those legendary "take no prisoners" ground-pounding musclecars. Rosen and Schorr have linked up with a new Motion Team consisting of Joel B. Ehrenpreis and Larry Jaworske.
Together, they're launching a new, limited-production, 12-car build, two-seat '69 Baldwin-Motion 540 Camaro SuperCoupe designed by Kris Horton and powered by a Kinsler-injected, 540ci Merlin/Motion engine. Cranking out over 700 hp, the Merlin/Motion 540 is set back 13 inches on a full tubular chassis for a true front/mid layout. You could call it the "great American supercar."
Billy Mitchell, who built engines for Rosen 35 years ago, was commissioned by the new Motion team to assemble the prototype engine. "Since I built many of the original Baldwin-Motion cars and built and drove the NHRA-record-setting A/MP Motion Supercar Club Camaro," Mitchell says, " I knew exactly what the new car needed... a Motion-spec, 700-plus-hp, all-aluminum 540-inch Merlin big-block."
Rosen and Mitchell teamed up to design the engine to Rosen's specifications. Mitchell began by blueprinting and balancing the engine. The Merlin III heads received a COMP Cams roller valvetrain with a flat tappet camshaft for the initial build. This "Phase I" engine was built with a single 1050 four-barrel with 82/82 jetting on a Merlin X manifold that delivered 630 hp at 5,800 rpm, and 630 lb-ft of torque at 4,400 rpm on the dyno.
Mitchell removed the 4-bbl carb and intake, sealed the engine, and shipped it to Keech's Performance (part of the Motion team) in Sarasota, Florida. From there, the engine went into "Phase II" assembly. Steve Keech picked up where Mitchell left off, and was responsible for completing the engine and installing it in the prototype Baldwin-Motion 540 Camaro SuperCoupe.
A second set of Mitchell-prepared heads was shipped, and these were sent out for polishing. When they returned, they received the COMP Cams roller valvetrain. A roller camshaft, with a custom Motion grind designed by Rosen, was slipped into the block.
The crowning jewel atop the Merlin/Motion's 540 engine is the exotic Kinsler Cross Ram injection system. Rosen worked with Jim Kinsler on the overall specs to produce a precise, computer-controlled sequential electronic fuel injection system to accurately feed the 700-plus-hp the Merlin/Motion engine now produces.
The Merlin/Motion 540 is the first in a succession of engines that can be tailored to the customer's power preferences. Motion can build an engine capable of producing 1,000 hp, if the buyer wishes, for their Baldwin-Motion 540 Camaro SuperCoupe. Since only 12 will be built, however, buyers best be quick to belly up to the bar and order one. Just like the old days at Baldwin Motion, Joel Rosen and the new Motion team's 21st Century Baldwin-Motion 540 Camaro SuperCoupe, with its Merlin/Motion engine, are building the great American supercar again.

Two Caltrans workers fired from inspection unit had stolen gov construction materials, fed probe finds
Just two weeks after disclosures that a Caltrans technician had falsified inspection data on agency construction projects, a federal report says that the worker and his boss stole goverment construction materials for a project at the supervisor's personal property. The new report, disclosed by the Sacramento Bee, is fueling an East Bay lawmaker's suspicions that there is a problem in the culture of a Caltrans section that does tests to assure the structural integrity of foundations of new bridges, walls and other projects.

I tried to install the 32bit version of ms office 2013 in my netbook, with 1,6ghz cpu, and it displays a message that this package is wrong for this type of cpu. I don't remember the exact message right now but it was something like this.
I take a look at the requirements of ms office 2013, and it mentions about 1ghz cpu, only.
I search at google to find something specific about atom and the new office, but I can't find anything.
Can somebody tell me if the new ms office can be installed in intel atom netbooks?

Playing at Pit no problem for SDSU
Aztecs have won five of last seven at New Mexico
Aztecs at No. 14 New Mexico
Today: 7:15 p.m. at The Pit, Albuquerque, N.M.
On the air: CBS Sports Network; 600-AM, 101.5-FM
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. You can describe what San Diego State has done at The Pit, the fearsome 15,411-seat arena at New Mexico where no one is supposed to win, with numbers. Over the past eight seasons, the rest of the college basketball world is 12-102 there … and the Aztecs are 5-2.
The best way to describe it in words is not to use any.
The SDSU players can't wait for their annual visit to the arena built 37 feet below ground level with decibel levels akin to sidling up to the speaker tower at a Metallica concert not because it's the loudest stop on the Mountain West trail. They can't wait because they have the power to shut it up.
"Just an amazing feeling," senior guard Chase Tapley said. "It's the loudest place I've ever played in, and to quiet a crowd like that — that's an incredible feeling."
Tapley would know. He has played three times at The Pit. He won the last two, both convincing victories in which the Aztecs built double-digit leads and fans slumped in their seats as the arena announcer beseeched them to do that nutty wolf howl. The other would have been a win, too, had it not been for a missed free throw with a second left.
Now toss in the 55-34 beatdown at San Diego State last month, and you can start to comprehend how big a game this is for No. 14 New Mexico (23-4, 10-2) despite its three-game margin over the Aztecs in the Mountain West standings. The Lobos seldom lose at The Pit, let alone two years in a row. And the 34 points on Jan. 26 were their fewest in game not just in the shot clock era, which began in 1985, but going back a full decade before that.
"They will have it as bulletin-board material," SDSU coach Steve Fisher said. "They will have 34 plastered all over. … They'll score more than 34 this time."
"I know they want us bad," Tapley said. "And we want them bad, too. I can't wait."
SDSU (20-7, 8-5) is playing its best basketball of the season, shooting 62.6 percent and getting double-figure scoring from seven different players over its last two games. But so is New Mexico, the proof being Saturday's 91-82 win at Colorado State that featured 46 points from junior guard Kendall Williams and ended the Rams' 27-game home win streak.
Colorado State thought, as it has all year, that it would be a good idea to defend perimeter ball screens by having its post crowd the screener and sliding its guard underneath instead of fighting over the top. Bad idea. The 6-foot-4 Williams stepped behind a couple screens early and drained 3-pointers, and next thing you knew he had made 10.
SDSU sophomore transfer JJ O'Brien watched the tape and merely nodded. Williams is one of his closest friends, having played on the same club team since they were 12 and then at rival high schools in Rancho Cucamonga.

Glaciers are of four chief types. Valley, or mountain, glaciers are tongues of moving ice sent out by mountain snowfields following valleys originally formed by streams. In the Alps there are more than 1,200 valley glaciers. Piedmont glaciers, which occur only in high latitudes, are formed by the spreading of valley glaciers where they emerge from their valleys or by the confluence of several valley glaciers. Small ice sheets known as ice caps are flattened, somewhat dome-shaped glaciers spreading out horizontally in all directions and cover mountains and valleys. Continental glaciers are huge ice sheets whose margins may break off to form icebergs (see iceberg). The only existing continental glaciers are the ice sheets of Greenland and Antarctica, but during glacial periods they were far more widespread. Glaciers may be classified as warm or cold depending on whether their temperatures are above or below -10°C; (14°F;).
Glaciers alter topography, and their work includes erosion, transportation, and deposition. Mountain glaciers carve out amphitheaterlike vertical-walled valley heads, or cirques, at their sources. They transform V-shaped valleys into U-shaped valleys by grinding away the projecting bases of slopes and cliffs and leveling the floors of the valleys; in this process tributary valleys are frequently left "hanging," with their outlets high above the new valley floor. When the tributary valleys contain streams, waterfalls and cascades are formed, such as Bridal Veil Falls of Yosemite National Park. Elevations over which glaciers pass usually are left with gently sloping sides in the direction from which the glacier approached (stoss sides) and rougher lee sides. Humps and bosses of rock so shaped are known as roches moutonnées.
The debris from glacial erosion is carried upon, within, and underneath the ice. The debris frozen into the underside of the glacier acts as a further erosive agent, polishing the underlying rock and leaving scratches, or striae, running in the direction of the movement of the glacier. Glacial deposits are often known as till or drift. The melting of the ice in summer forms glacial streams flowing under the ice, while the retreat of a large glacier sometimes leaves a temporary glacial lake, such as the ice age Lake Agassiz. Fjords generally owe their origin to glaciers.
A glacier moves as a solid rather than as a liquid, as is indicated by the formation of crevasses (see crevasse). The center of a glacier moves more rapidly than the sides and the surface more rapidly than the bottom, because the sides and bottom are held back by friction. The rate of flow depends largely on the volume of ice in movement, the slope of the ground over which it is moving, the slope of the upper surface of the ice, the amount of water the ice contains, the amount of debris it carries, the temperature, and the friction it encounters. Glaciers are always in movement, but the extent of the apparent movement depends on the rate of advance and the rate of melting. If the ice melts at its edge faster than it moves forward, the edge of the glacier retreats; if it moves more rapidly than it melts, the edge advances; it is stationary only if the rate of movement and the rate of melting are the same.
The causes of glacial movement are exceedingly complex and doubtless are not all operative on the same glacier at the same time. Important elements in glacial movement are melting under pressure followed by refreezing, which may push the mass in the direction of least resistance; sliding or shearing of layers of ice one on top of the other; and rearrangement of the granules when pressure causes melting. Sudden, rapid movements of glaciers, called glacier surges, have been observed in Alaskan and other glaciers, with evidence for such abnormal movements as the crumpled lines of surface debris found on them. It is thought that the relatively sudden movement and melting of glaciers may be indicative of climate warming.
A glacier is a large, slow-moving river of ice, formed from compacted layers of snow, that slowly deforms and flows in response to gravity and high pressure. The processes and landforms caused by glaciers and related to them are glacial (adjective); this term should not be confounded with glacial (noun), a cold period in ice ages (see glacial period). The process of glacier growth and establishment is called glaciation.
The word glacier comes from French via the Vulgar Latin glacia, and ultimately from Latin glacies meaning ice.
Many geomorphological processes are interrupted or modified significantly by glaciers. Geomorphological features created by glaciers include end, lateral, ground and medial moraines that form from glacially transported rocks and debris; U-shaped valleys and cirques at their heads, and the glacier fringe, which is the area where the glacier has recently melted into water. Much precipitation becomes trapped in the glaciers instead of flowing immediately back to the oceans, causing sea level drops and greatly modifying the hydrology of streams. The Earth's crust is pushed down by the weight of the ice, and meltwater commonly collects and forms lakes along the ice margins.
Glacial epochs have come and gone repeatedly over the last million years. Presently, Earth is in a relatively warm period, called an interglacial, exacerbated by global warming with the resulting retreat of the glaciers. The Earth has been cyclically plunged into cold episodes, however, called glacials, in which the extent of glaciers is expanded, colloquially referred to as ice ages.
A temperate glacier is at melting point throughout the year, from its surface to its base. The ice of polar glaciers is always below freezing point with most mass loss due to sublimation. Sub-polar glaciers have a seasonal zone of melting near the surface and have some internal drainage, but little to no basal melt.
Thermal classifications of surface conditions vary, so glacier zones are often used to identify melt conditions. The dry snow zone is a region where no melt occurs, even in the summer. The percolation zone is an area with some surface melt, and meltwater percolating into the snowpack, often this zone is marked by refrozen ice lenses, glands, and layers. The wet snow zone is the region where all of the snow deposited since the end of the previous summer has been raised to 0°C. The superimposed ice zone is a zone where meltwater refreezes as a cold layer in the glacier forming a continuous mass of ice.
The smallest alpine glaciers form in mountain valleys and are referred to as valley glaciers. Larger glaciers can cover an entire mountain, mountain chain or even a volcano; this type is known as an ice cap. Ice caps feed outlet glaciers, tongues of ice that extend into valleys below, far from the margins of those larger ice masses. Outlet glaciers are formed by the movement of ice from a polar ice cap, or an ice cap from mountainous regions, to the sea.
The largest glaciers are continental ice sheets, enormous masses of ice that are not visibly affected by the landscape and that cover the entire surface beneath them, except possibly on the margins where they are thinnest. Antarctica and Greenland are the only places where continental ice sheets currently exist. These regions contain vast quantities of fresh water. The volume of ice is so large that if the Greenland ice sheet melted, it would cause sea levels to rise some six meters (20 ft) all around the world. If the Antarctic ice sheet melted, sea levels would rise up to 65 meters (210 ft).
Plateau glaciers resemble ice sheets, but on a smaller scale. They cover some plateaus and high-altitude areas. This type of glacier appears in many places, especially in Iceland and some of the large islands in the Arctic Ocean, and throughout the northern Pacific Cordillera from southern British Columbia to western Alaska.
Tidewater glaciers are glaciers that flow into the sea. As the ice reaches the sea pieces break off, or calve, forming icebergs. Most tidewater glaciers calve above sea level, which often results in a tremendous splash as the iceberg strikes the water. If the water is deep, glaciers can calve underwater, causing the iceberg to suddenly explode up out of the water. The Hubbard Glacier is the longest tidewater glacier in Alaska and has a calving face over ten kilometers long. Yakutat Bay and Glacier Bay are both popular with cruise ship passengers because of the huge glaciers descending hundreds of feet to the water. This glacier type undergoes centuries-long cycles of advance and retreat that are much less affected by the climate changes currently causing the retreat of most other glaciers.
The snow which forms temperate glaciers is subject to repeated freezing and thawing, which changes it into a form of granular ice called névé. Under the pressure of the layers of ice and snow above it, this granular ice fuses into denser firn. Over a period of years, layers of firn undergo further compaction and become glacial ice. In addition, a few hours after deposition, snow will begin to undergo metamorphism because of the presence of temperature gradients and/or convex and concave surfaces within individual crystals (causing differential vapour pressure). This causes the sublimation of ice from smaller crystals and the deposition of water vapour onto larger crystals, so many crystals become progressively more rounded over time. Depending on the type of metamorphism, the snowpack may become stronger or weaker as a result.
The distinctive blue tint of glacial ice is often wrongly attributed to Rayleigh scattering which is supposedly due to bubbles in the ice. The blue color is actually created for the same reason that water is blue, that is, its slight absorption of red light due to an overtone of the infrared OH stretching mode of the water molecule
The lower layers of glacial ice flow and deform plastically under the pressure, allowing the glacier as a whole to move slowly like a viscous fluid. Glaciers usually flow downslope, although they do not need a surface slope to flow, as they can be driven by the continuing accumulation of new snow at their source, creating thicker ice and a surface slope. The upper layers of glaciers are more brittle, and often form deep cracks known as crevasses or bergschrunds as they move.
Crevasses form due to internal differences in glacier velocity between two quasi-rigid parts above the deeper more plastic substrate far below. As the parts move at different speeds and directions, shear forces cause the two sections to break apart opening the crack of a crevasse all along the disconnecting faces. Projected in effect over three dimensions, one may settle and tip, the other upthrust or twist, or all such combinations due to the effects of each floating on the plastic layers below and any contact with rock and such. Hence the distance between the two separated parts while touching and rubbing deep down, frequently widens significantly towards the surface layers, many times creating a wide chasm.
These crevasses make travel over glaciers hazardous. Subsequent heavy snow may form a fragile snow bridge, increasing the danger by hiding their presence at the surface. Glacial meltwaters flow throughout and underneath glaciers, carving channels in the ice (called moulins) similar to cave formation through rock and also helping to lubricate the glacier's movement.
The upper part of a glacier that receives most of the snowfall is called the accumulation zone. In general, the accumulation zone accounts for 60-70% of the glacier's surface area. The depth of ice in the accumulation zone exerts a downward force sufficient to cause deep erosion of the rock in this area. After the glacier is gone, this often leaves a bowl or amphitheater-shaped isostatic depression called a cirque.
On the opposite end of the glacier, at its foot or terminal, is the deposition or ablation zone, where more ice is lost through melting than gained from snowfall and sediment is deposited. The place where the glacier thins to nothing is called the ice front.
The altitude where the two zones meet is called the equilibrium line, also called the snow line. At this altitude, the amount of new snow gained by accumulation is equal to the amount of ice lost through ablation. Due to erosive forces at the edges of the moving ice, glaciers turn V-shaped river-carved valleys into U-shaped glacial valleys.
The "health" of a glacier is defined by the area of the accumulation zone compared to the ablation zone. When directly measured this is glacier mass balance. Healthy glaciers have large accumulation zones. Several non-linear relationships define the relation between accumulation and ablation.
In the aftermath of the Little Ice Age, around 1850, the glaciers of the Earth have retreated substantially. Glacier retreat has increased since the 1980s, the coldest decade since 1900.
Permanent snow cover is affected by factors such as the degree of slope on the land, amount of snowfall and the force and nature of the winds. As temperature decreases with altitude, high mountains — even those near the Equator — have permanent snow cover on their upper portions, above the snow line. Examples include Mount Kilimanjaro and the Tropical Andes in South America; however, the only snow to occur exactly on the Equator is at on the southern slope of Volcán Cayambe in Ecuador.
Conversely, many regions of the Arctic and Antarctic receive very little precipitation and therefore experience little snowfall despite the bitter cold (cold air, unlike warm air, cannot take away much water vapor from the sea). In Antarctica, the snow does not melt even at sea level. In addition to the dry, unglaciated regions of the Arctic, there are some mountains and volcanoes in Bolivia, Chile and Argentina that are high (- ) and cold, but the relative lack of precipitation prevents snow from accumulating into glaciers. This is because these peaks are located near or in the hyperarid Atacama desert. Further examples of these temperate unglaciated mountains is the Kunlun Mountains, Tibet and the Pamir Range to the north of the Himalayas in Central Asia. Here, just like the Andes, mountains in Central Asia can reach above 6,000 m (20,000 ft) and be barren of snow and ice due to the rain shadow effect caused by the taller Himalaya Range.
During glacial periods of the Quaternary, most of Siberia, central and northern Alaska and all of Manchuria, were similarly too dry to support glaciers, though temperatures were as low as or lower than in glaciated areas of Europe and North America. This was because dry westerly winds from ice sheets in Europe and the coastal ranges in North America reduced precipitation to such an extent that glaciers could never develop except on a few high mountains like the Verkhoyansk Range (which still supports glaciers today).
Ice behaves like an easily breaking solid until its thickness exceeds about 50 meters (160 ft). The pressure on ice deeper than that depth causes plastic flow. The glacial ice is made up of layers of molecules stacked on top of each other, with relatively weak bonds between the layers. When the stress of the layer above exceeds the inter-layer binding strength, it moves faster than the layer below.
Another type of movement is basal sliding. In this process, the whole glacier moves over the terrain on which it sits, lubricated by meltwater. As the pressure increases toward the base of the glacier, the melting point of water decreases, and the ice melts. Friction between ice and rock and geothermal heat from the Earth's interior also contribute to thawing. This type of movement is dominant in temperate glaciers. The geothermal heat flux becomes more important the thicker a glacier becomes.
The top 50 meters of the glacier are more rigid. In this section, known as the fracture zone, the ice mostly moves as a single unit. Ice in the fracture zone moves over the top of the lower section. When the glacier moves through irregular terrain, cracks form in the fracture zone. These cracks can be up to 50 meters deep, at which point they meet the plastic-like flow underneath that seals them.
Mean speeds vary; some have speeds so slow that trees can establish themselves among the deposited scourings. In other cases they can move as fast as meters per day, as in the case of Antarctica's Byrd Glacier, which moves 750-800 meters per year.
Many glaciers have periods of very rapid advancement called surges. These glaciers exhibit normal movement until suddenly they accelerate, then return to their previous state. During these surges, the glacier may reach velocities far greater than normal speed. These surges may be caused by failure of the underlying bedrock, the ponding of meltwater at the base of the glacier — perhaps delivered from a supraglacial lake — or the simple accumulation of mass beyond a critical "tipping point".
Stoss-and-lee erosional features are formed by glaciers and show the direction of their movement. Long linear rock scratches (that follow the glacier's direction of movement) are called glacial striations, and divots in the rock are called chatter marks. Both of these features are left on the surfaces of stationary rock that were once under a glacier and were formed when loose rocks and boulders in the ice were transported over the rock surface. Transport of fine-grained material within a glacier can smooth or polish the surface of rocks, leading to glacial polish. Glacial erratics are rounded boulders that were left by a melting glacier and are often seen perched precariously on exposed rock faces after glacial retreat.
The term moraine is of French origin, and it was coined by peasants to describe alluvial embankments and rims found near the margins of glaciers in the French Alps. In modern geology, the term is used more broadly, and is applied to a series of formations, all of which are composed of till.
Drumlins are asymmetrical, canoe shaped hills with aerodynamic profiles made mainly of till. Their heights vary from 15 to 50 meters and they can reach a kilometer in length. The tilted side of the hill looks toward the direction from which the ice advanced (stoss), while the longer slope follows the ice's direction of movement (lee).
Drumlins are found in groups called drumlin fields or drumlin camps. An example of these fields is found east of Rochester, New York, and it is estimated that it contains about 10,000 drumlins.
Although the process that forms drumlins is not fully understood, it can be inferred from their shape that they are products of the plastic deformation zone of ancient glaciers. It is believed that many drumlins were formed when glaciers advanced over and altered the deposits of earlier glaciers.
Ogives are alternating dark and light bands of ice occurring as ridges and valleys on glacier surfaces. They only occur below icefalls but not all icefalls have ogives below them. Once formed, they bend progressively downglacier due to the increased velocity toward the glacier's centerline. Ogives are likely linked to seasonal motion of the glacier as the width of one dark and one light band generally equals the annual movement of the glacier. The ridges and valleys are formed because ice from an icefall is severely broken up thereby increasing ablation surface area during the summertime creating a swale and creating space for snow accumulation in the winter creating a ridge. Sometimes ogives are described as either wave ogives or band ogives in which they are solely undulations or varying color bands respectively.
Rocks and sediments are added to glaciers through various processes. Glaciers erode the terrain principally through two methods: abrasion and '''plucking.
As the glacier flows over the bedrock's fractured surface, it softens and lifts blocks of rock that are brought into the ice. This process is known as plucking, and it is produced when subglacial water penetrates the fractures and the subsequent freezing expansion separates them from the bedrock. When the water expands, it acts as a lever that loosens the rock by lifting it. This way, sediments of all sizes become part of the glacier's load.
Abrasion occurs when the ice and the load of rock fragments slide over the bedrock and function as sandpaper that smoothes and polishes the surface situated below. This pulverized rock is called rock flour. This flour is formed by rock grains of a size between 0.002 and 0.00625 mm. Sometimes the amount of rock flour produced is so high that currents of meltwaters acquire a grayish color.
Another of the visible characteristics of glacial erosion are glacial striations. These are produced when the bottom's ice contains large chunks of rock that mark trenches in the bedrock. By mapping the direction of the flutes the direction of the glacier's movement can be determined. Chatter marks are seen as lines of roughly crescent shape depressions in the rock underlying a glacier caused by the abrasion where a boulder in the ice catches and is then released repetitively as the glacier drags it over the underlying basal rock.
A glacier may also erode its environment through katabatic winds.
The rate of glacier erosion is variable. The differential erosion undertaken by the ice is controlled by six important factors:
Material that becomes incorporated in a glacier are typically carried as far as the zone of ablation before being deposited. Glacial deposits are of two distinct types:
The larger pieces of rock which are encrusted in till or deposited on the surface are called glacial erratics. They may range in size from pebbles to boulders, but as they may be moved great distances they may be of drastically different type than the material upon which they are found. Patterns of glacial erratics provide clues of past glacial motions.
Before glaciation, mountain valleys have a characteristic "V" shape, produced by downward erosion by water. However, during glaciation, these valleys widen and deepen, forming a "U"-shaped glacial valley. Besides the deepening and widening of the valley, the glacier also smooths the valley due to erosion. In this way, it eliminates the spurs of earth that extend across the valley. Because of this interaction, triangular cliffs called truncated spurs are formed.
Many glaciers deepen their valleys more than their smaller tributaries. Therefore, when the glaciers recede from the region, the valleys of the tributary glaciers remain above the main glacier's depression, and these are called hanging valleys.
In parts of the soil that were affected by abrasion and plucking, the depressions left can be filled by lakes, called paternoster lakes.
At the 'start' of a classic valley glacier is the cirque, which has a bowl shape with escarped walls on three sides, but open on the side that descends into the valley. In the cirque, an accumulation of ice is formed. These begin as irregularities on the side of the mountain, which are later augmented in size by the coining of the ice. Once the glacier melts, these corries are usually occupied by small mountain lakes called tarns.
There may be two glacial cirques 'back to back' which erode deep into their backwalls until only a narrow ridge, called an arête is left. This structure may result in a mountain pass.
Glaciers are also responsible for the creation of fjords (deep coves or inlets) and escarpments that are found at high latitudes.
Both features may have the same process behind their formation: the enlargement of cirques from glacial plucking and the action of the ice. Horns are formed by cirques that encircle a single mountain.
Arêtes emerge in a similar manner; the only difference is that the cirques are not located in a circle, but rather on opposite sides along a divide. Arêtes can also be produced by the collision of two parallel glaciers. In this case, the glacial tongues cut the divides down to size through erosion, and polish the adjacent valleys.
Alluvial plains and valley trains are usually accompanied by basins known as kettles. Glacial depressions are also produced in till deposits. These depressions are formed when large ice blocks are stuck in the glacial alluvium and after melting, they leave holes in the sediment.
Generally, the diameter of these depressions does not exceed 2 km, except in Minnesota, where some depressions reach up to 50 km in diameter, with depths varying between 10 and 50 meters.
When those deposits take the form of columns of tipped sides or mounds, which are called kames. Some kames form when meltwater deposits sediments through openings in the interior of the ice. In other cases, they are just the result of fans or deltas towards the exterior of the ice produced by meltwater.
When the glacial ice occupies a valley it can form terraces or kame along the sides of the valley.
A third type of deposit formed in contact with the ice is characterized by long, narrow sinuous crests composed fundamentally of sand and gravel deposited by streams of meltwater flowing within, beneath or on the glacier ice. After the ice has melted these linear ridges or eskers remain as landscape features. Some of these crests have heights exceeding 100 meters and their lengths surpass 100 km.
Glacial deposition takes place in two forms: glaciofluvial deposition and till deposits.
This rise of a part of the crust is due to an isostatic adjustment. A large mass, such as an ice sheet/glacier, depresses the crust of the Earth and displaces the mantle below. The depression is about a third the thickness of the ice sheet. After the glacier melts the mantle begins to flow back to its original position pushing the crust back to its original position. This post-glacial rebound, which lags melting of the ice sheet/glacier, is currently occurring in measurable amounts in Scandinavia and the Great Lakes region of North America.
An interesting geomorphological feature created by the same process, but on a smaller scale, is known as dilation-faulting. It occurs within rock where previously compressed rock is allowed to return to its original shape, but more rapidly than can be maintained without faulting, leading to an effect similar to that which would be seen if the rock were hit by a large hammer. This can be observed in recently de-glaciated parts of Iceland.
In this matter, geologists have come to identify over twenty divisions, each of them lasting approximately 100,000 years. All these cycles fall within the Quaternary glacial period.
During its peak, the ice left its mark over almost 30% of Earth's surface, covering approximately 10 million km² in North America, 5 million km² in Europe and 4 million km² in Asia. The glacial ice in the Northern hemisphere was double that found in the Southern hemisphere. This is because southern polar ice cannot advance beyond the Antarctic landmass. It is now believed that the most recent glacial period began between two and three million years ago, in the Pleistocene era.
The last major glacial period began about 2,000,000 years B.P. and is commonly known as the Pleistocene or Ice Age. During this glacial period, large glacial ice sheets covered much of North America, Europe, and Asia for long periods of time. The extent of the glacier ice during the Pleistocene, however, was not static. The Pleistocene had periods when the glaciers retreated (interglacial) because of mild temperatures, and advanced because of colder temperatures (glacial). Average global temperatures were probably 4 to 5° Celsius colder than they are today at the peak of the Pleistocene. The most recent glacial retreat began about 14,000 years B.P. and is still going on. We call this period the Holocene epoch.
These deposits found in strata of differing age present similar characteristics as fragments of fluted rock, and some are superposed over bedrock surfaces of channeled and polished rock or associated with sandstone and conglomerates that have features of alluvial plain deposits.
Two Precambrian glacial episodes have been identified, the first approximately 2 billion years ago, and the second (Snowball Earth) about 650 million years ago. Also, a well documented record of glaciation exists in rocks of the late Paleozoic (the Carboniferous and Permian).
Although there are several scientific hypotheses about the determining factors of glaciations, the two most important ideas are plate tectonics and variations in Earth's orbit (Milankovitch cycles).
The idea that the evidence of middle-latitude glaciations is closely related to the displacement of tectonic plates was confirmed by the absence of glacial traces in the same period for the higher latitudes of North America and Eurasia, which indicates that their locations were very different from today.
Climatic changes are also related to the positions of the continents, which has made them vary in conjunction with the displacement of plates. That also affected ocean current patterns, which caused changes in heat transmission and humidity. Since continents drift very slowly (about 2 cm per year), similar changes occur in periods of millions of years.
A study of marine sediment that contained climatically sensitive microorganisms until about half a million years ago were compared with studies of the geometry of Earth's orbit, and the result was clear: climatic changes are closely related to periods of obliquity, precession, and eccentricity of the Earth's orbit.
In general it can be affirmed that plate tectonics applies to long time periods, while Milankovitch's proposal, backed up by the work of others, adjusts to the periodic alterations of glacial periods of the Pleistocene. In both mechanisms the radiation imbalance of the earth is thought to play a large role in the build-up and melt of glaciers.

Broadband, 4G service might come to Fair HavenBy Lucia Suarez
STAFF WRITER | February 11,2013FAIR HAVEN An effort by the state to bring cellphone reception and broadband Internet to some of the more rural towns in Vermont might be coming to Fair Haven.
Earlier this week, town officials discussed a proposal by Springfield-based VTel to construct a 90-foot pole near the town office building. The pole would also have a small utility box attached.
Through this pole, VTel would be providing broadband connection and 4G LTE to local customers. It is part of an expansion of the companys telecommunications capabilities throughout Vermont.
According to Town Manager Herb Durfee, the telecommunications company is seeking a permanent 10-foot-by-10-foot easement near the town office building with a 15-foot right-of-way. He said in return the town would receive $25,000 split into $5,000 for signing and $20,000 once construction starts no strings attached.
The specific side of the building, VTel still has to work out those gory details, said Durfee on Thursday, adding that he will be working with the company to make sure any wiring to the pole is done underground if feasible.
He said an agreement with the telecommunications company has not been signed, though the Select Board authorized him to do so.
I think its good for Fair Haven, Durfee said.
The Vermont Public Service Board, which is in charge of regulating telecommunication projects in the state, would need to approve a certificate of public good for the tower. Durfee said at the local level, the project would not have to go through permitting or Act 250.
Select Board Chairman Christopher Cole said at the boards meeting Tuesday that the new pole would be good for the community, especially considering that cellphone coverage in the area is not the greatest.
I think its a great idea, he said.
Durfee said the project is in the early stages, but he has a meeting with a VTel consultant later this week to talk about the details. He said as more information becomes available, he will let the town know.
