By BRIAN HAWKINS
Republican members of Mississippi's congressional delegation are applauding the passage and President Barack Obama's signing of the Middle Class Tax Relief Act of 2010 — a measure that extends the tax cuts of former President George W. Bush's administration by two years.
Obama signed the legislation Friday. In addition to retaining the Bush-era tax cuts for all taxpayers, the measure also offers an extension of 13 months of benefits to the unemployed and attempts to stimulate the economy with a Social Securty payroll tax cut for all workers.
The package will cost $858 billion over two years, but will help stimulate job growth, leaders say.
'ÄúI am pleased that families and businesses in Mississippi will not see their federal income taxes rise for the next two years.¬Ý It is my hope that this act will serve to help accelerate the economic recovery by allowing Americans to keep more of the money they earn,'Äù said U.S. Sen. Thad Cochran, R-Miss., in a statement issued Friday.¬Ý 'ÄúNow that we have provided more certainty in this area, it is my hope that the new Congress can more effectively take on the challenge of getting our fiscal house in order.'Äù
U.S. Sen. Roger Wicker, R-Miss., expressed similar sentiments.
"Raising taxes on any American family or small business would further strain our weak economic recovery. Extending the existing tax rates helps create stability so businesses can invest and hire. Preventing the largest tax hike from hitting Americans is one of the many steps we need to get our economy back on track," Wicker said in a written statement.
'ÄúI am glad Congress stopped the largest tax hike in history from hitting any Americans.¬Ý We should focus on creating an environment that promotes job creation.'Äù
While some have criticized the tax cut bill's likely negative impact on the growing federal budget deficit, U.S. Rep. Gregg Harper, R-Miss., reiterated that overspending by the federal government is the real cause of the deficit's expansion.
"Many pundits focus on how these tax reductions will negatively impact the federal deficit. This argument ignores the significant negative impact that a tax increase would have on the national economy," said Harper in a statement on Friday.
"The American people are not taxed too little. The government spends too much. This legislation will reenergize the economy and benefit every single taxpayer, including Mississippi's farming families who are burdened by the estate tax. I do not accept the idea that Congress must increase your taxes to reduce the nation's budget deficit, just because Washington cannot slow its spending habits."
With a Republican majority coming into the U.S. House of Representatives, Harper said significant efforts will be made to cut federal spending.
"Republicans plan to put the federal government on a path to a balanced budget when Speaker-designate John Boehner is handed the gavel," Harper said.
The extended tax cuts in the negotiated package include rates lower than those that would have gone into effect Jan. 1, a $1,000-per-child tax credit, tax breaks for college students and lower taxes on capital gains and dividends.
The bill also extends through 2011, a series of business tax breaks designed to encourage investment that expired at the end of 2009.
Social Security taxes would be cut by nearly a third, from 6.2 percent to 4.2 percent, for this coming year.
A worker making $50,000 would save $1,000; one making $100,000 would save $2,000.
But the payroll tax cut also means that workers will face an increase in 2012 if the full 6.2 percent rate is restored.
And by scheduling President George W. Bush's 2001 and 2003 tax rates to expire in two years, the law ensures that taxes will be a top issue in the 2012 presidential election.
Editor's note: The Associated Press contributed to this report.

SavoryMarch 12New American • New York, United States
The Korean beef sandwich is killer
Ruled by the desire to never eat a bad meal, but will try anything once. Love restaurants, cooking, wine & scotch. Brooklyn based marketing consultant.
Amazing cold brew. Best coffee we had in Bali by far.
Cocktails took 20+ min, and the waitress gave each of us the wrong cocktail - which took away from the fact they were pretty tasty.
Reserve the Colorado villa for fantastic views. Eat at Espadin restaurant and snorkel or learn to surf at the playa just below the hotel. Highly recommended hotel!
They serve Stumptown coffee. 'Nuff said. They sell beans as well.
Avoid the shrimp cocktail. Bland, overcooked and pricey. Paired nicely with the snooty cocktail waitress.
Excellent sandwiches, including the #4 (smoked turkey, onions, manchego, harissa mayo & peppadews) & the BLT special. Not cheap, but very tasty.
Stick with the raw bar. Our fluke special was both ovecooked and bland. Nice room and service, but not a great meal
Recently renovated by a moron. Hotel bathrooms are the worst - no ventilation, and a half shower door that guarantees a wet floor. The TVs are 1998's best technology. Fail.
Possibly the best Thai in Williamsburg. Tod mun, Som tom salad and noodle dishes are all tasty. Ask for it Thai style if you want it spicy
The best selection of trustworthy fish & shellfish (oysters galore and they will shuck to eat on-site) in NYC. Excellent arctic char, mackerel, striped bass, rock shrimp, sardines & whole trout, etc.
Tasso ham & Andouille sausage are made in-house (great for jambalaya). Their bacon is smoky & delicious too. Best butcher in Manhattan for locally sourced humanely raised meat. I'm a fan.
Excellent Sichuan - smoked tofu w/ celery, dan dan noodles, cold cucumbers, cumin lamb, tea smoked duck, pork belly with leeks and fish specials are all tasty.
The extremely well-informed and helpful staff has never steered us wrong. Uva's selection of wines has a distinct personality with some very interesting finds at pretty accessible prices
Lang-Pi cold noodles (ask for it spicy) and a cumin lamb "burger" are the best $7 you can spend in the east village on food. Tasty beyond belief.
It really is that good. The coffee is roasted on-site and sold in 1/2 pound bags for $8.50 - $11. Just follow your nose on a roasting day and you will find it.
Roast pork buns are where it's at... especially at 80 cents a pop. I make it a foursome. One for now, one for later and two for the fridge.
Aisle 1 has a great selection of Sichuan hot sauces, thai curry pastes and Malaysian ingredients. Good place for fresh noodles as well.
Deep fried pork ribs with garlic, cumin lamb (#101), cheng du shrimp, smoked tofu & celery and the dan dan are all excellent, among other delicious dishes
Duck laab, squid ink sesame oil soup, or bay scallops w crisp shallots & toasted coconut. You can't go wrong w any fish or duck entree. Ask for it spicy & try to snag a seat by the open kitchen

Menlo Park TOD near Caltrain subject of referendum campaign

Menlo Park: Opponents of 'Derry' project launch referendum campaign
By Rory Brown
Although a recently approved condo-commercial development in Menlo
Park has undergone about two years of review with little public
criticism, a group of residents has announced it plans to launch a
referendum campaign against the project.
If the group garners enough signatures, the fate of the project
could go before Menlo Park voters.
On September 12, the council approved the "Derry" project, which
calls for 135 condominiums and 22,525 square feet of commercial
space on a 3.5-acre site owned by the Derry family between El Camino
Real and the train station.
Leading the referendum campaign are members of a group that calls
itself Menlo Park Tomorrow. They say the project is too dense --
with too many homes per square feet -- and will increase traffic and
overburden schools.
"This is a watershed moment in the history of Menlo Park," said
Morris Brown, a spokesperson for Menlo Park Tomorrow. "We're talking
about two-and-a-half times or so the density of what was intended
[for the site] under the general plan."
In an advertisement in last week's Almanac, the group says the
project will lead to the "Manhattanization of Menlo Park."
Members of the group include former Menlo Park mayor Jack Morris
and residents Chuck Bernstein, Don Brawner and Martin Engel.
Councilwoman Mickie Winkler, who is running for re-election in
November, said the Derry project is a "model of a walkable community
project." She labeled the referendum effort as a "political attempt
to discredit candidates [who support the project]."
The project was initially approved 4-1 by the council August 29
before receiving final approval by another 4-1 vote September 12.
Several residents spoke against the project at both meetings.
But no members of Menlo Park Tomorrow spoke against the project at
previous hearings, including when the proposal went before the
Planning Commission in July, according to city staff -- a point
emphasized by Councilwoman Lee Duboc, who said the group waited
until "the twelfth hour" to criticize the project.
The Planning Commission voted 7-0 to recommend the council approve
the project.
Mr. Brown acknowledged that residents should have "followed the
project more closely," but said he and others were "blind-sided" by
how quickly plans have progressed to build another condo-commercial
project adjacent to the Derry project at 1300 El Camino Real, the
site of the former Cadillac dealership.
He said the approval of the Derry project sets a precedent that
could lead to higher-density developments along El Camino Real a
process he says that is being done in a "piecemeal" manner instead
of by using a comprehensive plan.
The group and its supporters have until October 12 -- 30 days
after the council approved the project -- to acquire about 1,800
signatures of registered voters on referendum petitions, said City
Attorney Bill McClure.
The 1,800 number is 10 percent of the city's registered voters, the
minimum required. If that number is obtained, the council has to
either repeal its approval of the project or put the project before
the voters, Mr. McClure said.
He said it's too late to get the issue on the November 7 ballot, but
it could go to voters in a special election.
The referendum would require a simple majority vote to pass, he said.
Councilman Andy Cohen, the lone council member to oppose the project,
said he supports the referendum effort.
Council candidates Vincent Bressler and Richard Cline said they plan
on helping with the referendum campaign.
Councilwoman Kelly Fergusson, at Tuesday's meeting, said the council
is "sending a signal to other developers that [the council] give[s]
away high density for free," but she still voted to approve the

Physical weathering It is the disintegration of solid rocks into smaller fragments without involving any change in the chemical composition of rocks Changes in size and shape It encourages chemical weathering by increasing rock's surface area. It is the most predominant in areas with great diurnal range of temperature. (desert regions and high mountains) Conditions for mechanical weathering Alternate heating and cooling. Different degree of expansion. • Bare rock surface are highly heated by sunshine, the outer layer expand , but the inner layer expand little. • The different degree of expansion develops a series of joints on the exposed surface, rock tends to break into blocks • Different minerals have different coefficient of expansion. • The alterante heating and cooling produces alternate expansion and contraction lead to the cracking and granular disintegration. • During the night time, cooling by raditation causes water freezes in joints, which exert an enormous expansive force. Freeze and Thaw action: • The volume of water increase 8% when it freezes, and exerts a pressure force of about 200kg per m2. Conditions for mechanical weathering Alternate of dry and wet: Water absorption causes rocks to swell but when they dry out they contract. Alternate wetting and drying results alternate expansion and contraction. Pressure release / unloading: All intrusive rock are formed under great pressure. When they exposed to the air through erosion process, they will break-up for pressure release. Plants and animals: They constitutes another important mechanical force to disrupt rocks. Types of Physical weathering Exfoliation / Onion Scaling Rocks with homogeneous structure. Repeated heating and cooling by daily temperature changes. Repeated expansion and contraction create stress in rock and produce radial and concentric cracks. The outer layers eventually peel off to form exfoliation. Types of Physical weathering Granular Disintegration Rocks composed by rather coarse grains or heterogeneous structure. Repeated heating and cooling by temperature changes, which causes alternate expansion and contraction. Minerals disintegrate grain by grain. Types of Physical weathering Block disintegration Well-jointed rock (eg. Granite) Great diurnal range of temperature with more than 10oC between freezing point (0oC) Repeated heating and cooling by temperature changes, which causes alternate expansion and contraction. Cracks and joints are widened or breaks down into small blocks or fragments. It may be accompanied by frost action and chemical weathering. Block disintegration Types of Physical weathering Frost action / Freeze and Thaw Action Diurnal range of temperature fluctuating above 0oC. During daytime, water seeps into cracks or joints of rocks. Night time, temperature drops to below freezing point, water freezes in joints or cracks, which expands and widen the cracks. Alternate freez and thaw, the rocks break down into smaller, angular fragments Freeze thaw action Freeze thaw action Chemical Weathering Introduction Processes of Chemical Weathering Types of Chemical Weathering Chemical weathering Introduction Chemical weathering is the decomposition or decay of solid rocks as a result of chemical reactions between the rock minerals and moisture, rain water, sea water and organic acids produced by plants and animals, Chemical weathering can be accelerated by high temperature. It also can accelerated by physical weathering which breaks rocks up and increase the surface exposed to possible chemical weathering. Processes of Chemical weathering Oxidation It is the process of the combination of oxygen. Hydrolysis Free hydrogen ions in water enter into the mineral structure and create a new compound. Eg. Feldspar in Granite to Kaolinite. Hydration The whole water molecule combines with the mineral. Carbonation Carbon dioxide (rain water pH=5.7) is capable of reaction with certain minerals It is particularly effective in limestone with humid climate. Solution Soluble minerals (rock salt,…)are dissolved directly in water. Types of Chemical weathering Spheroidal weathering Chemical reaction is affected by penetrating water. A well-jointed rock allows this to go on reading. Honeycomb weathering Rocks with heterogeneous structure and containing soluble minerals. By the processes of oxidation, hydrolysis, hydration, carbonation and solution. Very common in coastal area. Honeycomb weathering Features Produced by Chemical Weathering Weathering Profile of Granite Ground surface is weathered for a longer period. Further inwards, the rock remains more fresh and stable. And It is possible to see a graduation of four weathered zones. Weathering Profile of Granite Weathering Profile of Granite Tors Tors Tors may be the result of the surface rotting of granite through the action of acidulation rainwater penetrating along joints into the body of the granitic mass. The pattern of tors is controlled by the joints. When the overlying weathered materials were moved away (eroded) and the corestones exposed to the air, tors are formed. Tors Biological / Organic weathering Biological weathering is the physical disintegration or chemical decomposition of rocks in situ by organic agents – plants and animals. It is effective in regions with a continuous vegetation cover and burrowing animals. In desert regions and polar regions, it is insignificant for limited plants and animals. Biological weathering - plants Biological weathering - Plants The growth of plants roots and their penetration into rocks are sufficiently effective to widen cracks and joints. Rocks may be weathered by orgranic acids secreted by roots of plants and from decayed plants. Biological weathering - animals Animals Burrowing animals may dig or turn up and loosen the joints of rocks. Earthworms and termites also loosen and expose the surface materials for weathering. Wastes secreted by animals or derived from dead animals (organic acids) help chemical weathering Human Human activities often cause large scale disintegration of rocks (mining, quarrying, excavation for building….) Careless removal of vegetation by man exposes large surface area to weathering processes. (deforestation for farming, for lumbering, for firewood; abandon farmland, overgrazing, hill fires,…..) Case study – weathering in desert Traditional concept: Little rainfall, strong winds and large daily range of temperature. Mechanical weathering (block disintegration and granular disintegration ) is dominant. Exfoliation is very common in deserts. Chemical weathering only takes place by the drawing of strong solutions to the surface by capillary and forms duricrust (a hard compact layer) on the land surface. Case study – weathering in desert New founding Barton: • He found that weathering of the stonework was in general more pronounced in the Delta than higher up the Nile Valley where has the maximum heating and cooling effects. Griggs's experiment: • He gave the granite to 90000 fifteen-minutes cycles of alternate heating and cooling over a temperature range of nearly 90oC. • He found the rock totally undamaged at the end. • When he gave some water in the experiment, the whole block very quickly disintegrated. Chemical weathering involving water was the real destroyer of rocks in the desert regions. Weathering regions - 1 Weathering regions -2 Slope Sub-system Contents Slope as a system Slope Profiles Slope development / Slope evolution Geomorphic processes on a slope Slope as a system All landforms are made up of slopes. They originate by a combination of tectonic (endogenetic) and erosional activities (exogenetic). Slope as a system Slope can be divided into 3 types: Tectonic slopes: • Formed by earth movement: folding and faulting. Erosional slopes: • Primary slopes: – the slope reduced by agents of erosion. Eg. Slip-off slope in river, U-shaped valleys in glaciated area, cliffs in coastal region. • Secondary slopes: – modified by weathering or mass wasting. Depositional slopes: • It is formed by aggregation and may be either convex or concave. Eg. barchan, sand dunes in desert areas Slope as a system Inputs of slope Energy: • Solar radiation, falling raindrops, winds Mass: • All forms of water – Rainfall, snow-melt, springs and seepages • Inorganic minerals from bedrock • Organic materials from vegetation and animals Outputs of slope Energy: • Loss of heat Mass: • Water, weathered debris, solutes and organic waste, which leave the system by streams or other transporting media (eg. Wind) at the slope base. Slope as a system Slope systems are sustained by inputs of energy and mass, which may be balanced by outputs, giving a steady state or equilibrium condition. Slopes are controlled by increased or decreased inputs and outputs, so as to maintain its equilibrium. Slope as a system Slopes reflect the interaction of 3 factors. Earth movement (tectonic activities) • Rate of uplift or subsidence Rock types • Resistance to weathering and erosion Weathering and transport processes operating on the slope • Vegetation cover, animals and human activities Effects of agents (erosion & deposition): • Running water, glaciers, winds, sea waves…. Slope elements Slope profiles may be divided into a series of slope units for analysis Four units model A. Wood divided a slope into 4 elements Waxing slope: • It is the convex curve of the hill crest. Free Face / Cliff • It is a vertical or very steep rock-face. Constant slope: • It maintains a constant angle of rest. • It is formed by the debris fall from free face and gradually accumulates to building up a heap of scree (talus). Waning slope: • It is below the constant slope, which is formed by fine materials. • It is also the washing slope because it is derived from the material washed down from constant slope. • The low- angle wash slopes will gradually coalesce to form a depositional pediment. Slope units Talus or Scree Nine units model Slope development / evolution The forms of slopes develop through time and the factors (rock structure, lithology, soil, climate, vegetation and human activities). There are few models of slope development or slope evolution. Slope Decline Slope replacement Slope parallel retreat Slope decline American geographer, W.M. Davis (1899) From NW Europe and NE USA Normal (Humid) climates Concept of the "cycle of erosion". Steepest slopes at beginning of process with a progressively decreasing angle in time to give a convex upper slope and a concave lower slope. Slopes will continuous to decline and develop or evolve from youthful stage, maturity stage, old age stage and finally to become a low relief peneplain (almost a plain). Slope decline Slope replacement By W. Penck (1924) Evidence from the Alps and Andes (tectonic areas) The slope of maximum angle decreases as the gentler lower slopes. Waxing slope will be replaced by free face Free face will be replaced by constant slope Constant slope will be replaced by waning slope. Slope replacement Slope replacement Slope Parallel Retreat By L.C. King (1948, 1957) From South Africa Semi-arid regions and sea cliffs with wave-cut platforms Sedimentary rocks structure The slope units retreat by the same amount (proportion) so that the whole profile retains but leaves an extending concave unit (pediment) at its foot. This sequence is controlled by the rate of retreat of free face which is controlled by geology and climate (weathering and transport processes) Slope Parallel Retreat Slope Parallel Retreat Slope Parallel Retreat Geomorphic Processes on Slope Weathering, mass movement and erosion are the major processes in shaping slopes. On hard rocks which weather very slowly – weathering limited slope High potential weathering but outputs from slope are restricted – transport limited. Slope as a process-response system Mass movement - landslide Mass movement involve the transport of debris under the influence of gravity. It depends on the instability (stresses and strength) of slope. Loss strength (frictional resistance and cohesion) Heavy rainfall Severe weathering Oversteepening of hillslope (excavation) Increase stress Heavy rainfall (increase weight of slope) Earthquakes or volcanic activities Building on slope increase loading Vibration from passing heavy vehicle Landslides Landslides Slope processes(non-cohesive materials) Gravels and sands Landforms: alluvial fans, screes (talus), sand dunes and glacial outwash features. The movement occurs largely through the sliding or rolling of individual particles. It may be triggered by minor events such as rainfall or vibration. Alluvial fan Slope processes (cohesive materials) Soil and clay The cohesion is derived from electro- chemical bonds between fine particles and the surface tension effects of water films in the pore spaces. Main features Rapid movement • Slumping and mudflows Slow movement • Soil creep and solifluction Slumping / Rotational slips It occurs along clearly-defined concave (curved) sliding plane. Very common in humid climate. Mudflows It may operate on very low angles slope. High moisture content of the material reduces the strength (frictional resistance and the cohesion almost to zero.) Very common in desert after heavy rain and volcanic eruption with heavy rainfall. Soil creep It can be found on all slopes It was formed by the effects of gravity, temperature fluctuations (Freeze-thaw) and variations in moisture (wet-dry periods) content within the soil may all act to cause displacement of particles. Soil creep Slope processes in hard-rock slopes Rockfalls It builds up a constant slope (talus or scree) Soil erosion Water plays a significant role to soil erosion in humid regions Rain splash can redistribution the materials without any transport on horizontal surface. It can move the materials downslide on a slope Rain splash rills gullies badland Rills Gullies Badland Other forms of slide Channel Sub-system Channel as a sub-system Stream Velocity Channel Processes (Geomorphological work of stream) Channel Form Rivers work in the two landscapes Channel as a sub-system Stream channels are systems Inputs: • Water – Direct precipitation – From tributaries – From seepage from the river banks • Solid materials – Debris from stream banks and bed Outputs: • Water – Losses of water throughout the length of the channel by seepage – By evaporation – To sea • Solid materials – To sea • Channel forms Channel as a sub-system Stream Velocity It is the most important factor affecting the channel / stream processes (Erosion, Transportation and Deposition) Mean velocity of a river increases downstream. Reasons – Along upper course Channel gradient is great but river velocity is low Low discharge (Q=VA) River course is irregular Turbulence flow • Channel floor is uneven and broken by potholes • Much energy is needed to overcome the roughness of channel floor. Reasons – lower course Channel gradient is small but river velocity is increased Rise in river discharge • Joining of major tributaries Straighter course in spite of the presence of marked meanders Laminar Flow • Reduction in friction along the channel floor for the deposition of fine sediments Stream velocity Erosion, transportation and deposition Erosion, transportation and deposition Critical tractive force Minimum force to entrainment of grains from bedrock on the sides or floor of channel. Critical (erosion) velocity Lowest velocity to obtain the critical tractive force (to move grains from channel bed) Erosion The easiest eroded material is of diameter of about 0.5mm. Coarse materials (medium sand to boulders) require greater velocity. Very fine materials are also difficult to erode for strong binding by chemical bonds. Smooth channel bed formed by fine materials is more resistant to erosion. Erosion, transportation and deposition Transportation velocity Between the critical erosion velocity and the curve of deposition of particles Fall /Settling velocity Velocity at which materials in transport are dropped and deposited on the channel bed. It is high for the larger and heavier particles but extremely low for clay (transported in suspension) Channel Processes (Geomorphological work of river) The morphology of natural river channel is determined by the interaction of flowing water and solid materials. Channel Processes Erosion Transportation Deposition Erosion – along the river courses Stream erosion is the progressive removal of mineral material from the floor and sides of the channel, whether bedrock or regolith. Upper Course Erosion is the dominant process for the steep channel gradient. Middle Course Erosion is a bit reduced as some depositions occur where channel beds are flat. Lower Course Erosion becomes far less important than deposition. Erosion – erosion processes Hydraulic action: Removal of loose materials by direct force of impact of running / flowing water. Abrasion (Corrasion): Mechanical wearing and tearing of rock particles at or being dragged along the channel bed. Corrosion (Solution): Rocks minerals are dissolved by water. Attrition: Reduction in size of loads in transport as they strike at each other or the channel bed. Erosion – erosion direction 1 Headward erosion: Erosion – erosion direction 1 Erosion – erosion direction 2 Lateral erosion Erosion of the sides of a river channel More lateral erosion is found along the concave banks than along the convex slip- off banks. More active along lower course for the gentle slope. The kinetic energy transfers to lateral erosion. Erosion – erosion direction 2 Lateral erosion Erosion – erosion direction -3 Vertical erosion / downcutting It is the erosion and subsequent deepening of the floor. It is more active along upper course for steep slope. A narrow V-shape valley is develop. Erosion – erosion direction 3 Erosion – incised meanders Erosion – incised meanders Transportation Weathering on channel side slopes and plains produces loosened masses of materials that can be washed into the channel. Such moving materials are called loads There are four types of load Dissolved load / Soluble load Suspended load Saltation load Traction load / Bed load Transportation Dissolved load: They are enters the water current by corrosion, and is transported in solution by the river water. Chemical composition of river water depends on • Topography – Steep bank-side slopes is likely to be richer in dissolved minerals. • Climate – High temperature can increase the rate of chemical reaction. • Geology – Rocks minerals are dissolvable or not. • Vegetation – Supplier of organic matter. Transportation Suspended load They are carried downstream by the irregular turbulent in suspension. Saltation load They are moved forward by the water current in a series of leaps and bounds. Traction load The larger fragment are moved by the water current in rolling and sliding on the river bed. Transportation Stream Competence The largest transported particles that a stream is able to move in traction as bed load. Normally, stream channel is less competent in removeing coarse bedload materials because coarser materials are heavier and more irregular in shape such that much energy is needed to overcome their friction. Stream channels are more competent in removing bedload at high water flow level for increasing in river discharge. Stream Capacity It is maximum amount of load materials that a stream can transport. It varies according to velocity which depends on channel gradient, stream discharge and weight of load. Loads Suspended sediment: It tends to increase with discharge levels at any point on a stream. Solute: It is the greatest concentrated at low flows, or channel water is derived entirely from groundwater seepage. During periods of higher discharge, solute will be diluted by throughflow and overland flow. Bedload: It increases at higher levels of discharge. Loads Three types of load varies according to the nature of load available, the discharge and courses of the river. Solute load being more important at low flows. Suspended sediment is transported in greater at flood time. Bedload moves only once a threshold level of discharge has been attained. Deposition The deposition of sediments occurs when a stream is no longer to carry loads, loss of competence or transporting ability. It may be the result of Decrease in channel gradient Decrease in discharge volume Increase loads supply in the channel Deposition Decrease in channel gradient Stream water enter to its lower course at flat plain Stream water enter into a pre-existing depression (lake, lagoon, or any type of still water…) Decrease in discharge volume Discharge will decrease in dry season It will decrease by river capture. It will decrease by seepage which is very common along exotic rivers (River Nile), along a permeable channel floor (desert) or flowing into limestone areas. Increase loads supply in the channel Excessive increase in the supply of load materials (serious mass movement) Channel Form The channel form can be regarded as the response by the channel inputs. It can be considered in terms of Cross profile Long profile Plan Plan – Channel patterns There are three major patterns: Straight channel pattern Meandering channel pattern Braided channel pattern Straight channel pattern It refers to the channel characterized with straight banks. In fact, it is impossible of natural rivers with straight banks for irregularities of river channels. The stream line of flow is usually in a winding path or sinuous pattern. Sinuosity Sinuosity = actual channel length / straight line distance. Sinuosity Meandering channel pattern If forms when pronounced bends or loops develop in the course of river. It may be the result of Helical flow • When stream water moves in a winding pattern, it produces a strong centrifugal force which causes a helical flow in concave outside bank. • It results in effective erosion in concave bank. Slope gradient is reduced in lower course. Large proportion of loads is carried in suspension form There is significant local bank erosion and deposition. Braided channel pattern River channel is subdivided into two or more bifurcated channel which are separated by bars of alluvial materials (usually visible in dry seasons). It occurs when Too many bedloads in the river The bedloads are too coarse to move. The discharge is variable Long Profile The graded river which is capable of existing in a state of balance, or dynamic equilibrium, with the rate of erosion being equal to the rate of deposition. Long Profile Cross Profile Discharge increases in a downstream direction. The channel adjusts to the change by deepening and widening (cross-section form) The width / depth ratio also changes (increases) downstream as width increases more rapidly than depth. Work done by rivers in the two landscape Tropical Rainforest Tropical Desert Tropical Rainforest Intense chemical weathering under the hot humid condition. Erosion: Small streams of steep gradient have bouldery channels but the boulders experience little downstream movement. Lateral erosion is very serious in middle and lower course for gentle slope and large discharge. Loads and transportation Greater portion is in the form of dissolved solids. Little coarse sediments move as bed load, because the cover of vegetation holds back all Finest soil particles from transport by overland flow. Tropical Rainforest Deposition: Deposition is very common in the lower course, meandering channels, flood plains and deltas can be found in lower lower course. Tropical Desert Introduction Streamflow characteristics in the arid lands Streamflood Introduction River work is very effectiveness because of the meagreness of vegetation in dry desert. Without a thick vegetation , large quantities of coarse rock debris are swept into streams to transform a dry channel into a flood stream. Sediment concentration can be extremely high up to 50%. Stream flow in deserts usually accounts for most of the water from precipitation. Introduction Much of the precipitation is held as surface runoff rather than infiltrating deeply into the ground: Reasons Lack of vegetation Lack of water-absorbent organic layer in desert soil Presence of hardpans (salt cover) in the topsoil. Clayey surface of some deserts. Rainfall is too intense for a large amount of water to percolate. Streamflow characteristics Precipitation tends to run off into wadis which are normally dry out occasionally subjected to large flows of water and sediment. Rock-cut gorges may developed on pediments and fans at the foot of mountains. Floods are rather occasional and even fewer floods in the almost totally arid parts. Streamflood Rainfall in deserts in usually of high intensity, most of the rainfall is available as runoff and enters the dry stream courses. Where streams flow across plains of gravel and sand, water is lost from the channels by seepages to water table as underground water. The role of water in erosion, transportation, deposition should not be ignored or made in secondary to the action of wind, once though to be the most important geomorphological agent in desert . Geomorphological work of stream-floods Large amounts of debris due to weathering, slow mass movements and wind action. Debris of all sizes from clay particles to boulders are moved until eventually they reach the upland edges. Stream floods can also cause erosion of stream channels themselves. Streamfloods in deserts are more important than the floods of humid regions in erosion. It is because weathered materials are not cohesive in dry environment and few plants to hold the soil together. Geomorphological work of stream-floods Lateral erosion of wadis channels is also due to streamfloods. Drainage density is very high (eg. 350 km/km2 in parts of arid North America), but in sandy deserts with high infiltration rate and hence little runoff, drainage intensity will be low. Deposition occurs and braided channels are conspicuous because of the heavy load of sediments carried by the streams.

While getting bumped up to a first-class plane seat is no easy feat (apparently, proclaiming our love of free champagne doesn't cut it), upgrading our beauty quotient is much simpler, thanks to this sleek box of tricks from Benefit. With five get-gorgeous products, it's all you need to attain an effortlessly chic polish. Bonus: It comes in a vintage luggage-style case sure to become the talk of the airport lounge.
I am a sucker for cute cases, bags, boxes, etc, and that is the main reason I bought this box. When it came in, there were actually things I loved besides the box. Like the perfume-it was what I wore exclusively for three months, and got a TON of compliments on. Loved the all over face color too, until one morning, I accidentally dropped it, and it shattered in the sink. It gave a nice subtle color. The mascara went to my teenager, and she loved what it did to her lashes.5
First, I love the case, I now keep my "daily" makeup in it for easier access. The fragrance is actually quite pleasant and not over powering, floral with hints of sweetness. I love the porefector and may need to buy a full size soon. The blush is good for everyday and I love that I have 4 different colors to make my own combos. I finally tried bad gal, and I would reserve this mascara for special occasions, it was difficult to remove. And go sparingly on the highlighter, the brush applicator did take some getting used to.5
I love this set very much. The blush and perfume have become favorites. I've been a fan of POREfessional ever since I first sampled it. Best. Primer. Ever. The mascara is fine for me, once I get enough layers on. High beam is interesting. I still don't know how to feel about the nail polish-esque brush. The actual product is a perfect consistency. It winds up sheer on me, with a little glow.5
First of all, the box was so cute!
i loved all these products they include
benefit high beam this was great for highlighting and brigtening the face
benefit sugar bomb gave a nice flush and bronzy look to my cheeks
a mini benefit porefessinal created a smooth canvas and helped my pores
lastey the benefit there real mascara this is amazing and is not clumpy at all!
the perfume was very nice and even came with a mini travel size
I love Benefit products!! So, when I saw BirchBox had this gift, I was ecstatic!! Sadly, a lot of BB subscribers must have loved this gift as well, as they were SOLD OUT!! :(
But, for the review, I have tried all that's included in this set and you won't be disappointed. POREfessinoal is a great minimizer for your skin reducing the appearance of large pores and making your makeup flawless.
And the scent, amazing!!

Wild Rose Equine CenterRead MoreWild Rose Equine Center hosts horseback-riding lessons and trail rides on the bucolic expanse upon which it resides. Riders of all skill levels can learn from the expert staff during regular lessons. These sessions are tailored to each student's goals, whether they would like to compete in shows or take a horse to the prom.17105 Old Pike Rd.Dearborn, MO US
Fort Leavenworth FMWRRead MoreFort Leavenworth FMWR, an organization dedicated to enhancing the lives of soldiers and their families, welcomes military members and civilians alike to swing their way through the Trails West Golf Course. According to Trails West, when President Eisenhower was attending nearby Command & General Staff College, he used to drop by the 18-hole, par 71 course, where he developed his lifelong passion for caddying for Mamie. For more than 90 years, the 190-acre facility has inspired many other players to waltz across the fairways of zoysia grass and onto the bent-grass putting greens. Holes 2, 3, 10, and 13 present challenging par 5s, and hole 6 claims the title of signature hole by virtue of an elevated tee from which players must send their dimpled orbs flying over a creek and onto an elevated green with subtle breaks and a shape-shifting hole. Trails West Golf Course invites golfers to warm up at its lighted, covered driving range and two putting greens. Players can purchase gloves, clubs, and trees that grow golf balls at the pro shop or hone their game with instruction from PGA professionals. After a morning on the greens, players can drop by the Fairway Grille to munch a chicken-club sandwich or old-fashioned cheeseburger out on the patio. Course at a Glance 18-hole, par 71 course Length of 6,188 from the farthest set of tees Course rating of 69.9 Slope rating of 120 Four sets of tee boxes See helpful course notes600 Thomas AvenueLeavenworth, KS US
Screamin' Oaks FarmRead MoreThe stresses of the city seem light years away for guests who retreat to Screamin' Oaks Farm, a working farm with goats, pigs, peacocks, chickens, cows, geese, quail, donkeys, and hound dogs. Visitors meet the farm's fleet of white and black goats, whose milk is sold onsite and also made into creamy chèvre goat cheese and homemade ice cream. Farmhands foster introductions to creatures large and small, letting guests milk the goats themselves and pet the furry mane of a young donkey. Turtles idle along in their own dedicated habitat as peacocks stalk the grounds, opening and expanding their turquoise plumage when a mate is nearby or when they want to take up two seats on tractor rides.18171 198th St.Tonganoxie, KS US
Cedar Ridge Catering and BanquetRead MoreCedar Ridge Catering and Banquet serves up an endless selection of sandwiches, such as a turkey club or BLT. Life is all about choices, and they are not limited here with plenty of gluten-free and low-fat dishes. Cedar Ridge Catering and Banquet is a fine restaurant for those with large and small parties.

Massage For WellnessRead MoreKandy Grimes owes much of her success as a massage therapist to her first career: registered nurse. At Massage for Wellness, she and her team aim for goals beyond relaxation as they banish soreness from clients' muscles. Their modalities range from Swedish and Deep-Tissue to Myofascial Release and Trigger Point techniques, all of which can impart health benefits to stressed bodies. But communication factors into each massage as much as an adherence to form. During medical massages, for example, they discuss the sources of chronic pain and other ailments, then tailor the massage to address overworked or injured areas. Kandy and her staff also administer specialty services, such as massages for elderly clients, sports massages that improve athletic performance, as well as prenatal and infant massage classes, where parents can learn how to connect with their baby through touch instead of email.7000 Northwest Prairie View RoadKansas City, MO US

"If you can not be sure about something unbelievable, do not jump to conclude it as hoax. If you are witnessing bizarre event right in front of you, do not jump to conclude it as real. Why? Because some people say 'seeing is believing', while the others say 'sometimes your eyes can deceive your mind'."

It isn't often we hear celebrities thanking America for her work around the world, which is why rocker Bono's open and grateful attitude is a breathe of fresh air.
Late last year, Ireland native Bono told an audience during a conference in Dublin that foreign aid isn't the answer and that commerce and capitalism are the only true ways to change the economies of struggling countries around the world and in return, improve the lives of the people living there.
"Job creators and innovators are just the key, and aid is just a bridge," he told an audience of 200 leading technology entrepreneurs and investors at the Founders tech conference in Dublin. "We see it as startup money, investment in new countries. A humbling thing was to learn the role of commerce."
Bono is the co-founder of ONE, an organization dedication to fighting poverty in Africa and he's thanking America for saving lives and dedicating resources to AIDs research.
"It's amazing to be able to say this — we are actually at the tipping point if we keep up the pressure. We are within reach of declaring the first AIDS-free generation. What a thought. What a thought for this community," He said. "And it's down to the activism of this generation, actors, directors, producers, musicians, but also students, doctors, nurses, priests, NASCAR drivers, soccer moms, CEOs, NGOs, politicians, people who just don't normally hang out together not just hanging out together but working together. And that's what it takes."
"Our one simple belief is that where you live should not decide whether you live. Now our leader in this campaign lost a son to the disease. His name was Nelson Mandela, the greatest activist of them all... His cleverness was to put aside tribalism and partisanship, the kind of partisanship, I think you'll agree, that has betrayed this great nation and the great American idea at the heart of it, even in the last couple of years," he continued. "It's ironic that by following an African's example, American and European AIDS activists like ONE were successful in encouraging Democrats and Republicans here in the U.S. to put aside their differences and work together on what is turning out to be the largest health intervention in the history of medicine. Thank you, America."

So why do so many women put off or avoid getting potentially life-saving mammograms? Discomfort? Awkwardness? Last year, breast cancer survivor Geralyn Lucas visited Vail as the featured speaker...
