The fundamental features of geological study, namely, field work, collection, and theory construction, were not developed until the 16th to 18th centuries. Previously, back to ancient Greek times, many scholars believed that fossils were the remains of former living things and many Christians (including Tertullian, Chrysostom, and Augustine) attributed them to the Noachian flood. But other scholars rejected these ideas and regarded fossils as either jokes of nature, the products of rocks endowed with life in some sense, the creative works of God, or perhaps even the deceptions of Satan. In the 16th and 17th centuries the debate among naturalists intensified. One of the prominent opponents of the organic origin of fossils was Martin Lister (1638–1712). John Ray (1627–1705) favored organic origin although he respected Lister's objections. But from his microscopic analysis of fossil wood, Robert Hooke (1635–1703) confirmed that fossils had once lived. However, he did not believe they were the result of Noah's flood.
Prior to 1750, one of the most important thinkers was Niels Steensen (1638–86), or Steno, a Danish anatomist and geologist who established the principle of superposition: sedimentary rock layers are deposited in a successive, essentially horizontal fashion, so that a lower stratum is older than the one above it. In his Forerunner (1669) he expressed belief in a 6,000-year-old earth and that organic fossils and the rock strata were laid down by the Flood.1 Shortly after Steno, Thomas Burnet (1635–1715), a theologian, published his influential Sacred Theory of the Earth (1681) in which he argued from Scripture, rather than geology, for a global Flood. He made no mention of fossils and though he believed in a young earth, he took each day in Genesis 1 to be a year or longer. Following him, the physician and geologist John Woodward (1665–1722) invoked the Flood to explain stratification and fossilization, in An Essay Toward a Natural History of the Earth (1695). In A New Theory of the Earth (1696) William Whiston (1667–1752), Newton's successor at Cambridge in mathematics, shared similar views to the above. But he offered a cometary explanation of the mechanism of the Flood and he added six years to Archbishop Ussher's date of creation by his argument that each day of Genesis 1 was one year in duration. Some of his points were later used by those who favored the day-age theory for Genesis 1. In his Treatise on the Deluge (1768) the geologist Alexander Catcott (1725–79) used geological arguments to defend the Genesis account of a recent creation and global Flood which produced the geological record. On the other hand, another geologist, John Whitehurst (1713–88), contended in his Inquiry into the Original State and Formation of the Earth (1778) that the earth was much older than man and, although the Noachian flood was a global catastrophe, it was not responsible for most of the geological record. On the continent, Johann Lehmann (d. 1767) studied German mountain strata and believed the primary, non-fossil-bearing rocks were from creation week, whereas the secondary fossiliferous rocks were attributed to the Flood. Other geologists like Jean Elienne Guettard (1715–86), Nicholas Desmarest (1735–1815) and Giovanne Arduino (1714–95) denied the Flood and advocated a much older earth.2
In France, three prominent writers developed philosophically naturalistic explanations related to earth history (i.e., explaining the origin of everything by the present laws of nature). In his Epochs of Nature (1778), Comte de Buffon (1708–88) espoused the theory that the earth had originated from a collision of a comet and the sun. Extrapolating from experiments involving the cooling of various hot materials, he postulated that in about 78,000 years the earth had passed through seven epochs to reach its present state. He believed in spontaneous generation, rather than evolution, to explain the origin of living species. In an apparent attempt to avert religious opposition, he interpreted the days of Genesis 1 to be long ages, an idea which became popular among some 19th century British Christians. The astronomer Pierre Laplace (1749–1827) was strongly motivated by his atheism to eliminate the idea of design or purpose from scientific investigations. As a precursor to modern cosmic evolution, he proposed the nebular hypothesis to explain why the planets revolve around the sun in the same direction and in roughly the same plane. According to this theory, published in his Exposition of the System of the Universe (1796), prior to the present state there was a solar atmosphere which by purely natural progressive condensation had produced rings, like Saturn's, which eventually coalesced to form planets. This theory made the age of creation even greater than that which Buffon had suggested. Jean Lamarck (1744–1829) was a naturalist specializing in the study of fossil and living shells. Riding the fence between deism and atheism, he had a strong aversion to any notion of global catastrophe. In Zoological Philosophy (1809) he attempted to explain the similarities and differences between living and fossil creatures by four laws of gradual evolutionary transformation commonly summarized as the inheritance of acquired characteristics. He believed in spontaneous generation, rejected the notion of extinctions, and became a fierce opponent of the catastrophist Georges Cuvier.3
So by the latter part of the 18th century, a number of factors were preparing the ground for the geological revolution of the coming century. Though most Christians believed in a straightforward literal reading of the creation and Flood narratives, some were suggesting that the earth was much older than Ussher had calculated. In addition, the deists and atheists were proposing alternative cosmologies to the one found in Genesis. The idea of an initially fully functioning creation, much like today's, was beginning to be replaced by the notion of created or uncreated, initially simple matter, which gradually, by the laws of nature operating over untold ages, was transformed into the present state of the universe. A major shift in worldview, involving the existence and nature of God, the nature of His relationship to the creation, and the nature of the relationship of science to biblical interpretation, was underway.
Neptunist-Vulcanist Debate
The years 1790–1820 have been called the "heroic age" of geology. During this time, geology truly became established as a separate field of scientific study. More extensive geological observations began to be made, new methods were developed for systematically arranging the rock formations, and the Geological Society of London, the first society fully devoted to geology, was born. But it was also during this period that geology became embroiled in the so-called Neptunist-Vulcanist debate.4 Neptunism was named after the Roman god of the sea and viewed water as the most important agent of geological change. Vulcanism takes its name from the Roman god of fire and saw the internal heat of the earth as the dominant factor. The founders of the two positions were, respectively, Abraham Werner (1749–1817) of Germany and James Hutton (1726–97) of Scotland.
Werner was one of the most influential geologists of his time, even though his theory was rather quickly discarded.5 As a result of intense study of the succession of strata in his home area of Saxony, which were clearly water-deposited, he developed the theory that most of the crust of the earth had been precipitated chemically or mechanically by a slowly-receding primeval global ocean. The strata were then ordered by their mineral content. Werner did acknowledge volcanic activity, but put this as the last stage of his theory, after the primeval ocean had receded to its present level.
Many objections were soon raised against his theory, but it was an attractively simple system. Furthermore, as an excellent mineralogist, Werner was an inspirational teacher for 40 years at the University of Freiberg, where he attracted the great loyalty of his students, many of whom came from foreign countries. He was not a prolific writer but recent studies of private correspondence and lecture notes have shown that he believed and taught his students that earth history lasted at least a million years. He felt that the earth's crust provided more reliable historical information than any written documents. As a deist, he also felt no need to harmonize his theory with the Bible.6 Nevertheless, some writers, such as Richard Kirwan and André Deluc, used Werner's theory in support of the Genesis flood.
Hutton's geological views, published in his Theory of the Earth (1795), were significantly different from Werner's. He did most of his geological work in and around Edinburgh, which is set on volcanic rocks, and he argued that the primary geological agent was fire, not water. Rocks were of two origins, igneous and aqueous. The latter were the result of detrital matter being slowly deposited in the ocean bottoms which was gradually transformed into rock by the earth's internal heat.
Another characteristic of Hutton's view was its uniformitarianism: everything in the rock record must and can be explained by present day processes of erosion, sedimentation, volcanoes, and earthquakes.7 Earth history was cyclical—a long process of denudation of the continents into the seas and the gradual raising of the sea floors (by the internal heat of the earth) to make new continents, which in turn would be eroded to the sea only to rise again later. This theory was inspired, in part at least, by his deism: God's wise government of the rock cycle was for the benefit of all creatures.8 It obviously expanded the age of the earth almost limitlessly. In fact, Hutton denied that geology should be concerned with origins. He asserted instead that he saw "no vestige of a beginning or prospect of an end" in the geological record. His view was a clear denial of any global catastrophe, such as Noah's flood, which was for him a geological non-event.
Hutton received harsh criticism from two prominent naturalists. Richard Kirwan was an Irish mineralogist and chemist who viewed Hutton's views as atheistic. In Geological Essays (1799), he objected that Hutton's theory was based on false evidence and was contrary to the literal interpretation of Genesis. André Deluc, a geologist and French-born resident of England, gave a gentler, but still negative, critique of Hutton. He took a fairly literal view of Genesis, but he was severely criticized by Kirwan for believing that the days of Genesis 1 were "periods of time" and that the universal Flood left some of the mountaintops unscathed as island refuges for vegetable and animal life.
In his Illustrations of the Huttonian Theory of the Earth (1802) John Playfair (1748–1819), mathematician and Scottish clergyman, republished Hutton's ideas in a more comprehensible and less overtly deistic style. He defended Hutton against Kirwan's charge of atheism by arguing that Hutton was just following the path of natural theology by observing the beautiful design in the systems of the earth: Hutton's ceaseless cycles of geological processes were like Newton's laws of regular planetary motion. Although Playfair made no attempt to harmonize Hutton with Scripture he did defend Hutton's notion of the earth's great antiquity by saying that the Bible only addresses the time scale of human history, which Hutton did not deny was relatively short, as a literal interpretation of the Bible indicated. Like Hutton, Playfair also argued that the Flood was tranquil, not a violent catastrophe.
Neither the Neptunists nor the Vulcanists paid much attention to the fossils. In contrast, William Smith (1769–1839), a drainage engineer and surveyor, worked on canals for transporting coal all over Britain. After many years of studying strata (revealed in the canal and road cuttings he helped design) and the fossils in those strata, he published three works from 1815 to 1817, containing the first geological map of England and Wales and explaining the order and relative chronology of the stratigraphic formations as defined by certain characteristic fossils rather than the mineralogical character of the rocks.9 He became known as the "father of English stratigraphy" because he gave geology a descriptive methodology, which became critical for the establishment of the theory of an old earth. Though Smith believed that a global flood was responsible for producing the gravelly deposits scattered over the earth's surface, he never explicitly linked this with the Noachian flood and believed that all of the sedimentary strata were deposited many long ages before this flood by a long series of supernaturally induced catastrophic floods and recreations of new forms of life.10
Another important development at this time in Britain was the establishment of the Geological Society of London in 1807. The 13 founding members were wealthy, cultured gentlemen, who lacked much in geological knowledge but made up for it by their enthusiasm to learn. They met monthly at the Freemason's Tavern (until the society outgrew it) and after an expensive dinner they discussed the advancements of geology. The cost of membership and the initial restriction of membership to London residents were two reasons why most practical geologists associated with mining and road and canal building, such as William Smith, John Farey, and Robert Bakewell, did not become members.11 The stated purpose of the society was to gather and disseminate geological information, help standardize geological nomenclature, and facilitate cooperative geological work, though in fact it also sought, without much success, to be a stabilizing and regenerating socio-economic influence in the face of potential and actual French-style unrest in Britain.12 From its inception, it was dominated by men who held the old-earth view (the relation of Genesis to geology was never discussed in its public communications), though it did not overtly favor either uniformitarianism or catastrophism, as its first president and influential member, George Greenough, believed, on the basis of Bacon's principles, that in the 1810s and 1820s it was too early in the data collection process to formulate theories of the earth.
By the end of the 1820s the major divisions of the geological record were quite well defined. As Table 1 [below] shows, the primary rocks were the lowest and supposedly oldest and were mostly igneous or metamorphic rocks devoid of fossils. The secondary rocks were next and were predominantly sedimentary strata that were fossiliferous. The tertiary formations were above these, also containing many fossils, but which more closely resembled existing species. Lastly, were the most recent alluvial deposits of gravel, sands and boulders topped by the soils.
In the early 1800s Georges Cuvier (1768–1832), the famous French comparative anatomist and vertebrate paleontologist, developed his theory of catastrophism13 as expressed in his Theory of the Earth (1813). This went through several English editions over the next 20 years, with an appendix (revised in each later edition) written by Robert Jameson, the leading Scottish geologist. The son of a Lutheran soldier, Cuvier sought to show a general concordance between science and religion.14 In his Theory, he seems to have treated post-flood biblical history fairly literally, but did not interact at all with the text of the scriptural accounts of the creation and the Flood. He reacted sharply against Lamarck's evolutionary theory of the inheritance of acquired characteristics and his denial of extinctions. From his study of the fossils of large quadrupeds found in the strata of the Paris basin, Cuvier concluded that there had indeed been many extinctions, but not all at once. Rather, he theorized that in the past there had been many catastrophic floods. Like William Smith, he believed that each of the strata was characterized by wholly unique fauna. The fauna had appeared for a time and then were catastrophically destroyed and new life-forms arose. In opposing Lamarckian evolution, Cuvier presumably believed these new species were separate divine acts of special creation, but he did not explicitly explain this. He believed that earth history was very much longer than the traditional 6,000 years, but that the last flood had occurred only about 5,000 years ago. This obviously coincided with the date of Noah's flood, but Cuvier never explicitly equated his last flood with it.15 These violent catastrophes were vast inundations of the land by the sea. But they were not necessarily global so that therefore whole species were not always eliminated in these catastrophes. According to Cuvier, man had first appeared sometime between the last two catastrophes.
William Buckland (1784–1856) was the leading geologist in England in the 1820s and followed Cuvier in making catastrophism popular. Like many scientists of his day, he was an Anglican clergyman. He obtained readerships at Oxford University in mineralogy (1813) and geology (1818), and was a very popular lecturer. Two of his students, Charles Lyell and Roderick Murchison, went on to become very influential geologists in the 1830s and 1840s. In his efforts to get science, and especially geology, incorporated into university education (which was designed at the time to train ministers) Buckland published Vindiciae Geologicae (1820). Here he argued that geology was consistent with Genesis, confirmed natural religion by providing evidence of creation and God's continued providence, and proved virtually beyond refutation the fact of the global, catastrophic Noachian flood. However, the geological evidence for the Flood was, in Buckland's view, only in the upper formations and surface features of the continents; the secondary formations of sedimentary rocks were antediluvian by untold thousands of years or longer. To harmonize his theory with Genesis he considered the possibility of the day-age theory but favored the gap theory. Like Cuvier, he held to the theory of multiple supernatural catastrophes and creations and the recency of the appearance of man and the Flood.
As a result of further field research, especially in Kirkdale Cave in Yorkshire, he published in 1823 his widely read Reliquiae Diluvianae, providing a further defense of the Flood. However, the uniformitarian criticisms of John Fleming and Charles Lyell eventually led Buckland to abandon this interpretation of the geological evidence. He publicized this change of mind in his famous two-volume Bridgewater Treatise on geology in 1836, where in only two brief comments he described the Flood as tranquil and geologically insignificant.17 Buckland showed in personal correspondence in the 1820s that, for him, geological evidence had a superior quality and reliability over textual evidence (e.g., the Bible) in reconstructing the earth's history.18 In his view, this was because written records were susceptible to deception or error, whereas the rocks were truthful and cannot be altered by man.
Adam Sedgwick (1785–1873) was Buckland's counterpart at Cambridge, receiving the chair of geology in 1818. Through the influence of these two and others (e.g., George Greenough, William Conybeare, Roderick Murchison, and Henry De la Beche), old-earth catastrophist (or diluvial) geology was widely accepted in the 1820s by most geologists and academic theologians. For several reasons most geologists at this time believed the earth was much older than 6,000 years and the Noachian flood was not the cause of the secondary and tertiary formations.19 First, it was believed that the primitive rocks were covered by an average of at least two miles of secondary and tertiary strata, in which was seen evidence of slow gradual deposition during successive periods of calm and catastrophe. Second, some strata were clearly formed from the violent destruction of older strata. Third, different strata contained different fossils; it was especially noted that strata with apparently terrestrial and fresh-water shells alternate with those containing marine shells and that strata nearest the surface contained land animals mixed with marine creatures. Fourth, generally speaking, it appeared that the lower the strata were, the greater was the difference between fossil and living species, which to old-earth geologists implied many extinctions as a result of a series of revolutions over a long time. Fifth, the evidence that faults and dislocations occurred after the deposition and induration of many strata implied a lapse of time between the formation of the various strata. Finally, there was the fact that man was apparently only found fossilized in the most recent strata. From this evidence, the earth was believed to be tens of thousands, if not millions, of years old and the relatively recent Noachian flood was considered to be the cause only of the rounded valleys and hills carved into consolidated strata and of the loose gravels and boulders scattered worldwide over the surface of those strata.20
A massive blow to catastrophism came during the years 1830 to 1833, when Charles Lyell (1797–1875), a lawyer by training as well as a former student of Buckland, published his masterful three-volume work, Principles of Geology. Reviving the ideas of Hutton and stimulated by the writings of John Fleming, the Scottish minister and zoologist, and George Scrope, a member of Parliament and volcano expert, Lyell's Principles set forth how he thought geology should be done. His theory was a radical uniformitarianism in which he insisted that only present-day processes at present-day rates of intensity and magnitude should be used to interpret the rock record of past geological activity. The uniformity of rates was an addition to Hutton's theory and was the essential, distinctive feature of Lyell's view.
Although the catastrophist theory had greatly reduced the geological significance of the Noachian deluge and expanded earth history well beyond the traditional biblical view, Lyell's work was the "coup de grace" for belief in the Flood,21 in that it explained the whole rock record by slow gradual processes (which included very localized catastrophes like volcanos and earthquakes at their present frequency of occurrence around the world), thereby reducing the Flood to a geological non-event. His theory also expanded the time of earth history even more than Cuvier or Buckland had done. Lyell saw himself as "the spiritual saviour of geology, freeing the science from the old dispensation of Moses."22
Catastrophism did not die out immediately, although by the late 1830s few old-earth catastrophists in the United Kingdom, America, or Europe believed in a geologically significant Noachian deluge.
Lyell's uniformitarianism applied not only to geology, but to biology as well. Initially he had held to a sense of direction in the fossil record, but in 1827, after reading Lamarck's work, he had chosen the steady-state theory that species had appeared and disappeared in a piecemeal fashion (though he did not explain how). Lamarck's notion that man was simply a glorified orangutan was an affront to human dignity, thought Lyell. He held man alone to be a recent creation and even after finally accepting Darwinism he believed that the human mind could not be the result of natural selection.
From the mid-1820s, geology was rapidly maturing as a science. Smith's stratigraphic methodology (using fossils to correlate the strata) was applied more widely by a growing body of geologists to produce more detailed descriptions and maps of the geological record. There was still debate over the nature and origin of granite and although Cuvier's interpretation of the Paris basin was widely accepted, it also was being challenged. By the early 1830s all the main elements of stratigraphic geology were established, and maps and journal articles became more technical as geology was making the transition from an amateur avocation to a professional vocation. The 1830s and 1840s saw much debate about the classification of the lowest fossiliferous formations (the Cambrian to Devonian) and the glacial theory began emerging to explain what the earlier catastrophists had attributed to the Flood. By the mid-1850s, all the main strata were identified and the nomenclature was standardized. However, none of these developments added any fundamentally new reasons for believing in a very old earth. So whether the scriptural geologists were arguing against the old-earth theory before or after Lyell's Principles of Geology, they were dealing with the same basic arguments that had been dominant since around the turn of the century.
So in the early 19th century there were three competing views of earth history.
In response to these different old-earth theories, Christians were confronted with the choice of various ways of harmonizing them with Genesis. Many of these old-earth proponents believed in the inspiration, infallibility, and historical accuracy of Genesis. But they disagreed with the scriptural geologists about the correct interpretation, in some cases even the correct literal interpretation, of the Biblical text.

Fi'zi:k Blin:k Tail Light $19.95
Let the Midnight Special shine its light on you.
Props to Fizik for curing one of cycling's perpetual annoyances. There's nothing worse than going for an early morning spin and having your thighs brush again and again and again against the tail light you've affixed to your seatpost. You've gotta ride with a tail light -- we feel safer riding with a tail light but no headlight than vice versa, in fact -- and Fizik makes it worlds more pleasant now. Starting in 2007 most of Fizik's best-selling saddles are integrated Clip System (ICS)-specific, which means they have a tiny plastic receptacle under the saddle shell. The Fizik Blink Tail Light has a male end that plugs right into this ICS opening. The Blink recesses under the shell and literally becomes one-in-the-same with the rear of your saddle. Your thighs won't graze it, and you won't have to wince at the sight of a chunky light wrapped in an anything-but-streamlined fashion off the back of your seatpost. Your legs (and your shorts) will be happier, and your bike will look worlds better.
The Fizik Blink Tail Light has 2 bright LED's, and it works in your choice of a blinking or a constant mode. You can switch between these (and the off position) simply by pressing on the light itself. It uses one CR2032 battery, and you can swap the battery out without tools. Just so you know, the following saddles are ICS compatible provided that they are vintage 2007, not earlier: Aliante Carbon and Arione (no matter the rail type: braided carbon, Titanium, or k:ium), Arione Tri 2, Aliante Gamma, Pave HP, Vitesse Tri, Vitesse HP, Gobi, Nisene HP, Rondine, Nisene CP, Pave CP, Vitesse CP, and the Rondine CP. If you're unsure whether your saddle is ICS compatible, simply look for the ICS receptacle beneath the shell. Or feel free to contact us and we can help you make sure one way or another.

- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I really like the simplicity of this light. It snaps into the saddle with ease! I use this in addition to another rear light on my seat post for a little more insurance of being seen by idiot drivers.
small and always there
Member since
What I like about this light is how small it is. I put this on my wife's bike because she has a fizik saddle. It' very small and not very bright but it's always there. If we are going for a night ride we put an additional (super bright) light on in addition to this. Clipped right into the seat.
Good intergraded design
Member since
Just wish it was brighter...
Not Compatible with all Fi'zi:k saddles
Member since
I ordered this light and it's a great design but is not compatible with my Fi'zi:k Gobi mtb saddle or my Fi'zi:k Aliante road saddle. Make sure the grey plastic Fi'zi:k clip on the rear of the saddle is removable prior to ordering
nice integration
Jason L
Member since
I love integrated products. fizik saddle accessories are really slick. I use this on both my mtb and road bikes for night riding. It's not super bright but as a secondary rear light it's awesome and looks trick.
A "Must Have" for Fi'zi:k saddle owners
Member since
This little light is awesome. I can always depend on it to turn on and stay on, which has been a problem with other pricier tail lights that I have used. And it seems to be just as effective alerting cars to my presence as any other tail light I have used. But more importantly, it is small and discrete keeping your bike looking sleek while cruising to, from, and around campus (rather than a big goofy red light dangling off your seat post). To install you simply pop out the Fi'zi:k logo under your saddle and clip the light in.

Will this fit...

Will this fit into the female receptacle on a lookin seat? I currently have a light that shorted out that look close to yours. It has an SR logo.
Derek Newton
Member since
yes it will fit in the Selle Royal ICS socket. Selle Royal is the parent Co of Fizik and the saddles come out of the same factory

Innovation can breathe again: Patent filings decline
For those of us who believe that patents stifle innovation, this week brings good news: patent filings are down, as PatentlyO reports. After years of steadily increasing, U.S. patent filings have dropped, perhaps reflecting the bad economy.
Or perhaps an increase in common sense? Nah....
While the PatentlyO blog suggests this is a "crisis," I'm with TechDirt: the only crisis is that it has taken so long for patent filings to decline:
Considering the large number of bad patents that got through over the years, and the resulting flood of applications from others hoping to strike … Read more

- MTV Video Music Awards
Stop The Presses! - Archives
The 2008 VMAs: Simply Amazing
Well, the 25th MTV Video Music Awards are now history--and like just about everyone who got up to receive one of those coveted (and boy, do we use that term loosely) "moonman" statuettes, I think anyone out there who actually watched the entire two-plus-hours of the video network's annual backslap to itself should first and foremost thank god. For surviving the ordeal, that is. And I don't just mean Kanye West's singing, either.
You'd have thought that for a real timemarking anniversary like a 25th, MTV might have spent at least a minute or two retrospecting some VMA history. Yet, there really wasn't much in that respect--besides, that is, the pre-show half-hour look back at some of Britney Spears' most (and boy, do we use this term loosely) "amazing" VMA moments. (Striptease, check; python, check; Madonna makeout, check; pathetic "Gimme More" performance from '07, no check: If that wasn't the biggest tipoff that the rigged voting was going her way this year, nothing was.)
No, as prophesized by this year's host, British (and boy, do we use this term loosely) comedian Russell Brand, the 2008 VMAs were going to be "about the future." And, listening to Brand throughout the telecast, that would be a VMA future in which the only adjectives a person could use in describing anything whatsoever would be "amazing," "fantastic," and "wonderful." (Did I mention "amazing"?) A VMA future in which, as Taylor Swift noted in her introduction of boypal Joe Jonas and his bros, the Paramount Studios where the VMAs were broadcast from would be saluted as the studio that produced "such classics as The Godfather, Pretty In Pink, and Mission: Impossible." (I know those last two are certainly on my all-time top 10list!) And a VMA future in which the absolutely oldest person allowed onstage would be Demi Moore. (Who on earth got paid off for that one?)
Actually, the closest thing to any kind of MTV sense memory nostalgia was probably Rhianna's hairdo, which called to mind Sheena Easton in her Prince-ly "Sugar Walls" phase, and Lil' Wayne's ever-dropping pants, which called to mind another Lil'--Kim, that is, in her "no-wardrobe, so no-malfunction" painted breast phase. And, I guess, those fun-lovin' boys from Slipknot, who in their masked finery always call to mind the shackled metalhead kid from the Quiet Riot videos. If only they could have found his old straightjacket--and carted off Russell Brand in it as soon as the show started. Now that would have been, as they say, amazing.

I truly hate that Mockingbird is 200 Cps and it does not bode well for Deadpool or Cable. Ugh. And where did you hear about the required characters for Special Ops 5?
I truly hate that Mockingbird is 200 Cps and it does not bode well for Deadpool or Cable. Ugh. And where did you hear about the required characters for Special Ops 5?
Please check out the links for my new series People you Know.
I got Deadpool as a Tony assist today. As soon as the "hits" counter popped up, I nearly died laughing.
As for Spec Ops 5..... they really couldn't require Bobbi as an assist, even if they have made her available (for a given definition of 'available') for sale. That'll make half of their player base quit in disgust.
It might be worth it just to watch Playdom's forum explode...lol
Got Thing currently training up to level 10 - he'll be out in an hour and then I'm putting Ghostie in to go up to level 12.
Herc is currently waiting to go up to level 11 and DD is waiting to go up to level 10.
Though if I get Quicksilver ready to go up level 9 - I might slip him in first because the 12 hour training would be able to time things around the work schedule next week so there is no dead-time...or am I the only one who is sad enough to do that?

Haha! You are not alone. Once Black Cat gets back from her boot camp I'm sending him off to join the level 12 club. I just promoted She-Hulk to top level! I didn't think I'd ever say THAT to be honest :)
Also, I'm not so bothered if Cabele/Deadpool are more CP, but it's the time limit I object to. Grind enough bosses/epic bosses and you CAN acquire the CP without buying it, but 3 days? Poor show.
This thing with MB has reminded me that I forgot the reason I'm addicted to this game is because I like Marvel Heroes, and all this griding and spec ops has just made it more frustrating than fun. So I spend my CP on some alts for Kitty and Reed rather than just letting it sit there to get the 90 cp heroes I got left to get (Which is Thor, Cap and Logan, the latter two I don't really give two shits about). I'm setting my sights on Gladiator Hulk, he seems like he could be worth the swap. I'll go back to grinding depending who's needed for Vision, but hopefully it'll just be Tigra who I'm sure I'll have CP for by the time the deploy is needed, which is usually the last few tasks.
Wellp, I've about given up on PvP contests. Yesterday I was in the top 5%. Twelve attacks and ten losses later, I'm down to 20%. (on the other hand, I defended once, and lost that one, too). I've been using P5 Cyclops for firepower (esp. against Torch and Scarlet Witch) and Magik as my infiltrator killer and bypasser-of-guards like Hercules and Captain America. That team got me up to that 5%, originally.

So here's an interesting question - what happens when you max your level at 300? How do you get gold from that point? Purchase only? Does not seem like an option TBH
Reason I ask is that I am debating on some of the weapons (Fury, Blade of the Guardian) - but if they are set to the agents power then it makes sense to wait to invest in the weapons until you max your level and save your gold until then so you get the most bang for your buck.
I'm currently at level 207 but am curious if anyone else had the same thoughts?
chariset - know you are higher than me - has this crossed your mind?

I am on a crusade to train everyone up Nightstar, so yeah...you gotta almost work out a schedule.
Okay, why do I go down rankings when I win PVP fights?
The game is bugged! My rating is going down the more I win!
You're reading it the wrong way, S/D. It goes from most recent (at the top) to least recent.

Hey all,I just got home a few hours ago. Looks like I have a bunch of catching up to do. Vacation was good. Fishing was pretty tough for the week, but we got a few here and there. I'll have some pics once I get a little more settled. Trout were not nice this week. Rather rude to be honest. First day I hooked a pig that broke my 5X leader like it wasn't there. The only other one I hooked puckered up and spit the hook after a short battle. Fishing barbless isn't all that much fun, but regulation where we fished. We managed to get the boat out on Davis Lake through this skinny little channel where we used the oars in "pole" fashion to get to the main water. Davis was once a premier trophy Trout, fly fishing only lake with some huge rainbows. Someone decided Bass would be nice and illegally introduced them there and another trophy lake, Crane Prairie. Needless to say, through predation and the taking of trophies, the Bass have taken over and almost eliminated the Trout. So we went Bass fighing with our fly rods. Salt patterns seemed the most productive, and we managed quite a few fish in our time on the water. Nothing huge, but my son ended up the winner in the head to head competition. Pics tomorrow. I did get some really nice pics of some of the rivers and lakes in the area which I'll post here and there. Good to be back.

Wings Fall To Blue Jackets
Posted: 9:18 PM Feb 2, 2013
Reporter: Associated Press
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) -- Artem Anisimov scored twice in the second period, and Steve Mason stopped 32 shots to lead the Columbus Blue Jackets past the Detroit Red Wings 4-2 on Saturday night.
Mark Letestu added a short-handed goal, and James Wisniewski also scored for the Blue Jackets before leaving with an injury after he struck the end boards with his back early in the second period. Fedor Tyutin had two assists.
Mason, who earned his first win of the season, overcame an early goal by Johan Franzen. Damien Brunner added his fourth goal in the final seconds.
Anisimov was acquired last July in the blockbuster deal that sent captain Rick Nash to the New York Rangers. The Blue Jackets also sent a minor-league defenseman and a conditional third-round pick to the Rangers for Anisimov, Brandon Dubinsky, Tim Erixon and a first-round pick.

During the first few weeks of school, each incoming student is given a free, high-quality, ISO-certified, stainless steel mug, called the EcoMug™. The EcoMug™—which has a variety of incentives associated with it—is designed to do much more than counteract disposable cup use on campus. It's an innovative model for introducing students to our campus' sustainability commitments and for stimulating long-term, meaningful behavior change.

I knew I wanted to be a professional guitar player from the first time I picked up an electric guitar over 14 years ago. I started taking private lessons as soon as I got my first guitar, and without the crucial guidance and encouragement I received early on I certainly would not be the guitarist I am today, and that old guitar might even be collecting dust in a closet somewhere. Since I began teaching 8 years ago my goal has been to provide that same encouragement to beginning students and to help them realize that no matter what their ambitions are, they can be achieved with enough practice and they can have fun along the way!
When I started high school I realized there was a lot more to playing guitar than the hard rock and blues songs I had been learning up until then, so I enrolled in a music theory class, joined my school's jazz band and began taking classical guitar lessons at the University of Wyoming. After high school I accepted academic and music scholarships to attend the University of Oregon where I majored in Jazz Studies, and I graduated in 2009 with a Bachelor of Music degree with an emphasis on jazz arranging. While at UO I performed in student combos and my own rock band Just People as well as the award winning Oregon Jazz Ensemble. I also had the opportunity to perform with the Eugene Symphony Orchestra and play several shows with Grammy-Award winning country artist Lynn Anderson.
This diverse experience allows me to help my students improve their technique and gain a deeper understanding of the guitar, regardless of the style(s) of music they are passionate about. I firmly believe that anyone can learn to play guitar and that lessons should be fun, whether your goal is to be able to sing your favorite song and strum a few chords or start your own band and take over the world!

My name is Kyle S. and I'm incredibly passionate about music education for all ages. Over twenty years of playing all instruments has taught me there is not one specific way to teach music, so I change my curriculum for every student and completely customize what you learn to how you learn, and what you're interested in. I started teaching music lessons in after school programs when I was eleven and fell totally in love. I continued to do this for many years driving to neighboring towns, volunteering at church youth groups and local Boys and Girls Club all around my hometown.
I went on to study Music Education at Oregon State University and Guitar Performance at the University of Oregon. At each of these Universities I taught students my age, and a few professors, as well as locals in each town.
In Portland I've been gigging, playing on records, recording music for films, and volunteering every week at Nonprofit Music Schools around town to help underprivileged kids, and expose them to the joy of music. Give me a call and we can talk about what you're interested in, and get lessons started.
Look forward to hearing from you!
Bass Guitar, Guitar, Piano, Singing, Music Performance, Music Recording, Speaking Voice
A Professional Musician, I am now happy to pass my skills and knowledge on to the next generations so that they may have ALL the fun and enjoyment of music in their lives, that I had in mine.
I have toured the East Coast Venues (NYC to Key West) for 30 years, and produced 10 CDs, and have 3 EMMY AWARDS for sound track music for the EXPEDITION FLORIDA SERIES, Nature Documentaries. They were funded by the University of Florida, Museum of Natural History, and the Tourist Development Council of Alachua County, Florida.
I play acoustic and electric six string guitars, electric bass guitar, piano and keyboards, drums, percussion and hand drums. I majored in Flute and Voice at UF and have spent my entire life immersed in the world of music.
I have played classical, rock, reggae, folk, jazz, swing, country, bluegrass, praise, gospel, afro-pop, ska and 80's music. I have toured as a solo act, a duo, a trio, and with a full 6 piece band, SKATTERBRAINZ, for 8 years.
I am a professional writer and photographer for the LEWIS RIVER REVIEW based out of Woodland, WA.
I teach lessons and classes full time, five days a week, (no lessons on Fridays/Sundays) and also perform LIVE and in person frequently in local venues for profit and charity.
Bass Guitar, Guitar, Piano, Singing, Music Performance, Songwriting
I have been a guitar and voice instructor for over 15 years. I really love this job! I had a real hard time learning guitar when I was growing up because of an accident to my left arm, but I wanted to play so much that I was able to overcome it. Because of this I think I have learned to be a very patient teacher. I see students who get frustrated and think that it's too hard to play the guitar, but I promise you my program is fun and simple.I can show you the steps to success. I have taught over 500 students in a variety of cities from Minneapolis Minnesota, to Los Angeles California, and now Portland Oregon. I am currently obtaining my Masters in Music education and spiritual psychology from Marylhurst, and I have taught every age from 5-65. I am also a performer, and I own my own music publishing company through ASCAP (American Society of Composers Authors and Publishers). I also currently teach Piano to level 2, so if you are a beginner, you will love my new program. Music is my life, I can help you make your dream of playing guitar or singing come true. You can do it!
Bass Guitar, Guitar, Singing, Classical Guitar, Music Theory, Songwriting
Bachelors degree in music education from Portland State University. AA in music from Mt. Hood community college. Classical lessons with Bryan Johansen at PSU and jazz studies at MHCC. Have played and sung in worship team for over ten years. Played professionally in 60s rock group The Seaport Beat. Great ability to transcribe music by ear to teach what YOU want to play. You tell me what song you would like to learn- I will help transcribe it, then teach it applying music principles (ear training, theory, rhythmic studies, getting the right tone from your guitar, reading charts and notes). I am tirelessly driven by the love of music, and I yearn to share my knowledge with you.
Bass Guitar, Guitar, Music Performance, Music Recording, Percussion, Songwriting, Upright Bass
I have been playing professionally since I was 22 years old with various string instruments. With a few different bands I have played guitar, electric bass, upright bass, bass banjo, and other instruments across the U.S., Europe, Australia, and New Zealand.
I love teaching one-on-one and helping students expand their musical horizons.
I'm comfortable with very many styles, and tailor my lessons to the students needs.
What kind of music or playing style are they passionate about?
That is what is important.
You should take lessons with me because there are very few people who do what I do (and not charge you an arm and a leg for lessons), and almost no one else who does what I do with my bass banjo. I really want to show people the style I have developed, and help them find their own.
"Steven is very professional and extremely helpful. He always has a smile on and is serious about helping you phrase the music. I would highly recommend him to anyone."
"It's been really exciting so far! Jordan has been so helpful, so knowledgeable. I could not have found a better instructor and I'm getting better and better every day."
"My daughter's wedding was weeks away and I had never been able to dance a step. With Jenny's help, I came further than ever before in such short time in any subject."

Fighting wildfires would be funded more like hurricane and flood response under a proposal out of the Northwest that won President Obama's endorsement.
It's been a tough fire season for the elite group of firefighters known as hotshots; and not because of the fires.
Hotshots are used to the hard work. They work 14 days in a row, then get three days off, then repeat the cycle over and over again until winter finally puts the nation's fires to bed. They're deployed throughout the West, never knowing where they'll be sent until the last minute. They work with their hands, using chainsaws and shovels. Sometimes, they have to work through grief, as they did this summer when a fire near Phoenix, Arizona, swallowed 19 hotshots in one gulp.

The same weather patterns that are making the Rim Fire a challenge for firefighters in California have been moving up through parts of the Northwest. Specifically, through central Idaho. Fire managers say the forests there are ripe for fire, and more lightning is in the forecast this week.
The fact that massive fires are raging both in California and in Idaho is no coincidence, according to Robyn Broyles. She's with the National Interagency Fire Center in Boise.
Hundreds of firefighters are "digging trenches, clearing brush and starting back blazes to keep a wildfire raging north of Yosemite National Park out of several mountain hamlets," The Associated Press writes Monday morning in its latest update on the huge "Rim Fire" that is threatening some of the power and water services to the city of San Francisco.

You may know that on a hot, sunny day it's better to be sitting in a white car than a black one. White reflects sunlight, while black absorbs more of it.
The same concept applies to researchers trying to figure out what effect wildfires have on climate change. And part of the answer is whether the smoke particles are dark or reflective.
The Department of Natural Resources issued an updated burn ban to include all lands protected by the DNR in Washington state. The ban will be in effect until September 30 and includes prescribed burns and campfires, even in developed campgrounds under state, local or private control.

Federal land managers have banned the use of exploding targets on public lands in the Northwest. The concern is wildfires.
Fire investigators suspect exploding targets sparked at least half a dozen wildfires in Washington and Idaho over the past year. The chemical explosives give target shooters instant feedback that they've hit their mark from long range.
Nineteen firefighters died fighting a wildfire in Arizona yesterday. The Arizona forestry department is still investigating how the crew died, but many suspect that the blaze was just too quick and unpredictable. Washington state has also lost firefighters to fast spreading wildfires in the past. In 2001, four firefighters died in the Thirty Mile Fire in the Okanogan National Forest. Ross Reynolds talks to Peter Goldmark, the Commissioner of Public Lands at the Department of Natural Resources, about how wildfires get out of control so quickly.

Several forest fires are already burning in Western Washington and crews are mopping up a big one in central Oregon. There were also two grass fires that burned near Middleton, Idaho just west of Boise, this past weekend.
Dry winds and above average temperatures predicted this summer and fall, have fire managers preparing for an earlier than usual season.
Originally published on Wed February 6, 2013 2:07 pm
A massive fire that burned 61 homes in Central Washington was likely caused by Department of Transportation contractors. That's the upshot of a report issued Monday by Washington's Department of Natural Resources.
The aptly named Taylor Bridge Fire started August 13 right after transportation contractors did some welding work on that bridge. It happened near the mountain town of Cle Elum.
Dryer than normal conditions prompted Washington Governor Chris Gregoire to declare a state of emergency and extend a ban on outdoor fires. Outdoor burning is banned in all counties until October 15. The state is experiencing a rare stretch of dry weather.

Hello everyone! I'm new here, and I've been searching the net for a descent campground that I could stay long term. I'm looking for a park that is overall quiet for about $400 a month or less in Southeastern Arizona (Wilcox,Benson,Tucson etc) I'm 50 yoa and retired, and want to stay away from the Jellystone type of parks, but I don't mine some children around. I'm just looking for a place that I could stay for a year. I'm looking to find one by the 1st of June. Does anyone have a good suggestions?

I think Steve and Catherine FANCY each other !!
This comment was removed by a moderator
I never post mail on the computer but i just have to say that i think Brax (or should i say Steve) is just utterly gorgeous!! mmm, what a lovely smile
They could always do the fake death storyline like they did with Peter Baker and say Charlie was in witness protection to protect her from Jake. Charlie and Brax are far better suited and had far more passion and chemistry than Natalie and Brax do. Charlie liked the danger of dating a bad boy. She stole police evidence to prove Brax was innocent for a burglary. She quit her job at being a cop because she loved Brax so much but if Brax loves Charlie, he wouldn't stand in her way at doing something she loved. The bad boy/good girl cop storyline was awesome they need to bring Charlie back.
Move on Charlie isn't coming back shes dead!........ And if you don't like Natalie don't watch the series.
This comment was removed by a moderator
I DO NOT LIKE NATALIE AT ALL!!! Brax needs someone who is dangerous like CHARLIE!!! PLEASE GET RID OF BRATALIE and BRING BACK CHAX!!! (and Ruby and Casey)
Nooooo! I find Natalie really, really, really annoying. Seriously she is so incredibly irritating.
I loooove Brax and Nathalie Together............. Leah is not for Brax!
I Love Brax... Not Natalie Though, Maybe Leah! :D
i like em a lot!!!!! they're ts different to chax...n they look like good mates here :P
Natalie and Brax have no chemistry at all.
Yes Chax did have chemistry, but so do Bratalie! I wish critics would just give them a chance - they are fantastic together just in a diffrent way. If all relationships were the same for us all, it would be a boring world! I can't wait to see what happens with Brax and Natalie and await with interest for some great happy scenes between them! :) Wish the clip would play properly though - very annoying to having to listen 20 words at a time .....!!
Natalie & Brax just don't have the chemistry Charlie & Brax had. You could see the chemistry straight away between Chax, it was electric.
