Geology and Geochemistry
In 1797 James Hutton died and Charles Lyell was born. Their contributions to geology were recounted and celebrated at the Hutton/Lyell Bicentennial Conference, held in London and Edinburgh in 1997. Hutton conceived the imaginative Theory of the Earth (published 1788 and 1795). His work is encapsulated in the famous quotation "No vestige of a beginning, no prospect of an end," which introduced a sense of time, or timelessness, to geologic processes. In 1830 Lyell published Principles of Geology, which affirmed and consolidated Hutton's ideas. Lyell's work also marked the beginning of a long period in which most geologists concentrated on the mapping and study of rock formations and considered interpretation of the Earth's interior inaccessible and astronomy irrelevant. It was only through the insights provided by the theory of plate tectonics in the 1960s that the relationship of geology to global geophysics and geochemistry became thoroughly appreciated. Don Anderson (California Institute of Technology [Caltech]) presented the paper "A New Theory of the Earth" at the 1997 Edinburgh celebration, in which he demonstrated that essentially all of mantle geochemistry, tectonics, and petrology can be understood in terms of geophysical processes involving the Earth's mantle and crust.
Calibration of the "no-beginning, endless" time of Hutton with respect to observed rock sequences has been a central theme in geology. A quantitative geologic time scale did not become possible until the 1950s, with the application of isotopic studies of minerals. The discovery during the 1960s that the Earth's magnetic field reversed its polarity at intervals, leaving records in magnetized rock that could be calibrated by radiometric methods, provided techniques for dating magnetized sedimentary rocks back through several million years. Many sedimentary rocks display a cyclicity (in which alternating layers differ in chemical characteristics, sediment properties, and fossil communities) that is generally attributed to oscillations in climate. Considerable effort has been directed toward correlating climatic oscillations with perturbations in the Earth's orbit and rotational axis, which affect the solar energy reaching the Earth's surface. In 1997 F.J. Hilgen (University of Utrecht, Neth.), with colleagues W. Krijgsman, C.G. Langereis, and L.J. Lourens, reported a breakthrough in dating of the recent geologic record. They compared cyclic marine sedimentary sequences with curves showing the computed variations in precession (gyration of the rotation axis so as to describe a cone), obliquity (angle between the planes of the Earth's Equator and orbit), and eccentricity of the Earth's axis and orbit and concluded that the alternations reflected precession-controlled variations in regional climate. The sedimentary cycles, dated by the magnetic polarity reversal time scale, were used to calibrate the astronomical time scale, which by 1997 had been established for the past 12 million years and appeared to be more accurate and have higher resolution than the other time scales. Research during the year was directed toward finding a correlation between marine and continental sedimentary sequences and extending the astronomical time scale to earlier times. These findings could lead to a better understanding of paleoclimatology and climate modeling.
Concern about the prospects for and consequences of global warming gave urgency to research in paleoclimatology. Rocks, as well as cores drilled from ice sheets, contain the record of past climatic changes, and evidence confirmed that during the past several hundred thousand years there were significant swings in temperature. In 1997 Sarah J. Fowell (Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory, Palisades, N.Y.) and John Peck (University of Rhode Island) reported on results obtained from a 1996 reconnaissance in Mongolia to study the climatic variability recorded in sediment cores drilled in lakes. The location was important because its climate is transitional between the Siberian subarctic region and the Asian monsoon belt, and climatic changes should therefore leave high-resolution records in the lake sediments.
Studies of the sediment cores for variations in pollen and spores, magnetic properties, and carbon isotopes were to be correlated with temperature estimates from oxygen isotope measurements of shells and fossilized horse teeth. A sequence of fossil soils indicated that the Gobi Desert in Central Asia expanded and contracted dramatically during the last glacial-interglacial cycle, between 24,000 and 35,000 years ago. An ice core drilled from an old glacier on the Tibetan Plateau also supported the idea of an unstable climate.
The geochemistry of ancient ice layers drilled from the ice sheets of Greenland provided compelling evidence for large temperature increases, many of which appeared to have occurred abruptly. The ice, made up of layers of trapped snow, air, and dust extending back almost 250,000 years, was analyzed for variations in oxygen and hydrogen isotopes (reflecting temperature changes), dust and ash (wind patterns and volcanic eruptions), ammonia (distant forest fires), and several other variable geochemical tracers.
On the basis of discoveries in the layers, geologists concluded that the end of the last glacial period, 10,000 years ago, did not occur through centuries as previously assumed but probably happened within a few decades--less than a human lifetime. Thus, the evidence suggested that climate change could conceivably occur quite suddenly and be completed within a few years if the current industrial society disturbed the delicate balance of the atmosphere with continued emission of greenhouse gases. The change could involve either global warming or global cooling.
The distribution of glacial rock deposits produced by the latest ice age confirms that the polar ice sheets left uncovered a wide equatorial belt, extending locally well into middle latitudes. D.A. Evans, N.J. Beukes, and J.L. Kirschvink (Caltech, Rand Afrikaans University) published in 1997 a discovery in Africa that indicated the formation of an ice sheet that approached equatorial regions. The only other unequivocally glacial rock deposits known through the 4 billion years of Precambrian history (older than 540 million years) are aged 600 million-800 million years. Some of these rocks are found in Australia, with measurements indicating that they too were formed near the Equator. An interpretation of these two Precambrian events is that they represented severe, globally inclusive ice ages, a model called the "Snowball Earth." Once such a condition is reached, reflection of sunlight should tend to keep the Earth glaciated, and the fact that the Earth recovered both times indicates a resilience to extreme perturbations in climate. Evans suggested that reheating of a Snowball Earth might be caused by carbon dioxide released by the impact of a comet or asteroid or by large volcanic outpourings.
Detailed studies following the 1991 eruption of Mt. Pinatubo in the Philippines confirmed that dust and sulfuric acid aerosols have measurable effects on global temperatures and other climatic factors. The potential effects of volcanoes were demonstrated in 1997 by the devastation caused by the continuing eruptions of the Soufrière Hills volcano on the island of Montserrat, which began in 1995, and the June 30 eruption of the huge volcano Popocatépetl, near Mexico City, which became active in 1994. According to a report by Simon Young of the British Geological Survey and four coauthors, flows of sulfur dioxide from Soufrière Hills monitored by spectrometer observations of the plume ranged from 50 to 500 tons per day--moderate compared with many other volcanoes--but flows up to 1,000 tons per day associated with periods of enhanced dome growth and emissions of lava and ash were observed. Changes in the volume of the volcanic dome were being measured from a helicopter by an innovative technique, using range-finding binoculars and the Global Positioning System. A comparison of the mineralogy and textures of the lavas with the findings from studies on similar compositions was providing estimates of the water content of the magma, rates of magma ascent, and degassing conditions.
The ash plume from Popocatépetl, the largest in 72 years, rose higher than 6.4 km (4 mi) and had a diameter of 55 km (34 mi). Rain mixed with the ash covered many of the 30 villages around the base of the volcano and deposited a layer of sludge on Mexico City, 72 km (45 mi) away. Mexican scientists stressed that there was less than a 10% chance of an imminent major eruption.
Mt. Pinatubo, Soufrière Hills, and Popocatépetl are arc volcanoes, associated with oceanic subduction, the descent of the edge of one oceanic plate beneath another. The explosive eruptions of such volcanoes are caused by the downward transfer of oceanic water and carbon dioxide during subduction and its subsequent transfer back to the surface dissolved in magmas formed at high pressures. The geologic and geochemical processes occurring in this environment constitute a vital link in the recycling of the Earth's crust. An international meeting, State of the Arc, was held in Australia at the University of Adelaide in 1997 to study the impact on the development of models for subduction processes of new geochemical knowledge (from studies of uranium, thorium, and an isotope of beryllium) and techniques (new laser-based methods for the analysis of small inclusions of lavas in minerals. Despite many advances in analytic techniques and computations, the report of the conference by Simon Turner (the Open University, Milton Keynes, Eng.) acknowledged the complexity of the problem with its final statement: "Thus there is still much to be done."

7)Add the mag (spring) and yellow rods back
8-9)Add those 2 weaker rubber bands to the spring
10)It should look like this, but with 6 more rubber bands
11)Your ready to fire, have fun but don't shoot your eye out
Step 8: Credits
it's kinda funny but hurts like hell.
just three yellow connectors on a blue and put it on the top blue rod where the original barrel was
it is the same using it just as a rubber band gun
I have not tested it with the bullets yet
so dont think I knew that the bullets had crappy range or not because I do not
I used average thick rubber bands, #64 I think
I love being a pest >=3
Help would be appreciated, or I could just go back to my rubik's cube =-)
It looks like a good gun anyways. Better than the first one with that design. And I like the bullets.

Clay Aiken's still bringing the drama on Idol! According to the Chicago Sun-Times, the 2nd season runner-up crashed the set last week to talk to Adam Lambert. Producers were furious—and not just because of wink-wink nudge-nudge.
"Not only did [Clay] drop [Idol runners] 19 Entertainment," said the paper's source, "but everyone knows he also talked Kelly Clarkson into dropping us, too…to say the least, it was tense around here when Clay showed up—and boy, did they hustle him off the premises as fast as possible. If he didn't get the hint after that—he never will."
Hard to believe, but Aiken reportedly hopes to record an album of duets with Glambert. We're not sure why the Idol front-runner would bother—Danny Gokey performing nude in Hair would make more sense. But, looking at his record sales, we can't blame Clay for giving it a shot.

5.0 out of 5 stars wow! 5,000 stars tops!,
This book was just as promising as it's prequel! I couldn't put it down! The plot wasn't as thrilling, but Hietzmann did pick up on the unanswered questions that nagged at you in the first book. Well, as you know if you've read the first book(if you haven't you are VERY NAUGHTY), Quillan is having trouble allowing himself to love his wife, Carina. Meanwhile, she is suffering while he is away...heartbroken that he "doesn't" love her. Well, when a new man comes to take care of the New Boundless(the deceased Cain's mine, now left in Quillan's hands), his budding love for Carina threatens to lure her away from her love for Quillan. When disaster strikes, will Carina's husband comes home to her? Can he ever make peace with his dreadful past? The ending was wonderful, although Quillan's doubts about Carina's feelings for him were somewhat dissappointing. Anyway, I loved this and highly reccommend it!!
5.0 out of 5 stars This is definitely one of Kristen Heitzmann's best!!!,
Jennie "cooljennie2000" (Ontario Canada) - See all my reviews
"Sweet Boundless" as a sequel to "The Rose Legacy" is just the way I wanted it to be! I was really sucked into the book badly. I couldn't wait to finish it! I can actually feel the emotion that Carina and Quillan were going through. I wanted to yell at both of them for the dumb things they do. This kind of book is what I love to read. It has romance, emotional conflicts,forgiveness and a reverence to God (Signore). I also love the way Kristen Heitzmann sprinkles Italian words in the dialogue and applies it to the plot as well. I wasn't disappointed at all in this book. If you have read "The Rose Legacy" you'll want to read this book. You won't be disappointed. I can hardly wait for the 3rd one when it is released!
5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing!!,
"dawndiq" (Emmaus, PA United States) - See all my reviews
I throughly enjoyed reading this book! I finished it in a day! I was just as captivated by the characters and their plight in this book as I was when I read The Rose Legacy. This was a great continuation of a great story! I would totally recommend this book to any and all of my friends and family. I got so caught up in the story that I found myself thinking of it when I put the book down. There were some great tense moments, and this book is full of feeling! If you haven't read it, read it! I am so used to being disappointed with sequels (except the Left Behind series) that I was a little wary about buying this book. I was surprised to find that it was every bit as good as the first one.
4.0 out of 5 stars Great book,
By A Customer
I have been waiting impatiently for this book for months, and it didn't disappoint me. Whereas "The Rose Legacy" started off a little slow, "Sweet Boundless" takes off running. Kristen Heitzmann does a good job of making the reader feel the struggles and joys of our hero and heroine as they each try to find who they are and who they will become. I love it when a book can make my heart both ache and hope as "Sweet Boundless" was able to do. I was disappoined with how quickly the story ended. It left me thinking, "It can't be over yet!" Will there be another??????
5.0 out of 5 stars Another page turner from Kristen Heitzmann!,
By A Customer
This book was really wonderful and a great sequel to The Rose Legacy. When I finished the Rose Legacy I had to run out and get Sweet Boundless....and I was not disappointed. Kristen Heitzmann really makes you care about her characters. The characters went through so much growth and discovery about themselves and about God in this book. There is so much romance and adventure in this book that I read it in two days! I can hardly wait for book 3! Kristen Heitzmann has become my favorite writer and I would highly recommend this series and the Rocky Mountain Legacy series!
5.0 out of 5 stars Definitely not a disappointment!,
"heather34" (Sugar Land, Texas United States) - See all my reviews
As soon as I read the Rose Legacy, I really anticipated reading the next book in this series; because the last book ended in such a way to where you just had to get your hands on this book to find out what happens between Quillan and Carina. I must tell you I was not disappointed with Sweet Boundless! In fact I thouroughly enjoyed it! I read this book in one day, because its written in a way that compells you to keep reading and reading and reading. I can't wait for the third book in this series! You must read this! You will really enjoy it!
5.0 out of 5 stars Couldn't put it down!,
Kay Harrisonburg, VA (Harrisonburg, VA United States) - See all my reviews
Although I had to refresh my memory of details from the first book (The Rose Legacy), it kept me enthralled throughout. With the vivid descriptions and deep characterizations I could not be a passive reader. My emotions flared with impatience, wanting to control the situation. This captivating story is filled with truths about the human condition and God's willingness to intervene on our behalf. I want more!!!! ;-)
5.0 out of 5 stars Don't start this one at night!,
Mary Griffith (Tallahassee, Florida United States) - See all my reviews
This was my first book in the series. I loved it. The characters were clearly drawn. I could taste the ravioli and empathize with both Carina and her yearning for her husband's love and his inability to give it. I won't spoil the story, but this was a compelling, real book. I think most women will be able to identify with Carina in some way. Great job! I'll be waiting for book 3.
5.0 out of 5 stars The Second of many (I Hope),
By A Customer
I really enjoyed this book. It went perfectly with the first slowly reveling the truth of Quillan past. Also the conflict due to what they (Carina and Quillan)did in the first book. I really hope that Kristen Heitzmann feels the need for a third book because I would love to see the final conclusion of Carina and Quillan.
5.0 out of 5 stars WAITING FOR BOOK 3,
Pat Tuttle (Convoy, OH USA) - See all my reviews
Book 2 was a very good continuation of the first Diamond Of The Rockies series and hopefully there will be more. Although I read the book in the Spring when it first came out, I was able to feel the cold snow and smell the fire in the stove. Good Job Kristen Heitzmann!

LIFE SENTENCE. Above, from left, Ronald DiMambro of Washington Township, attorney Randy Rodnick and Macomb County Prosecutor Eric Smith at a prior hearing at the 42-1 District Court in Romeo. DiMambro, 27, was found guilty of first-degree felony murder and first-degree child abuse on June 10 in the Macomb County Circuit Court.

DiMambro to face life in
prison for death of child
by CHRIS GRAYRonald DiMambro Jr. of Washington Township was found guilty of murder and first-degree child abuse regarding the death of 2-year-old Damian Sutton.
Observer Staff Writer
The verdict was reached on June 10 at the Macomb County Circuit Court in front of Judge Jennifer Faunce. The murder charge carries a punishment of mandatory life imprisonment without parole, while the child abuse charge is punishable by up to life in prison.
DiMambro, 27, will be sentenced on July 17 by Faunce.
DiMambro was accused of beating the child of his girlfriend, Nicole Sutton, when he was baby-sitting him on Aug 21. DiMambro and his father called 911 claiming Damian was having trouble breathing and became unresponsive due to an asthma attack.
Damian was rushed to Henry Ford Macomb Hospital and later to Children's Hospital in Detroit. He was removed from life support on Aug. 27.
The autopsy report showed Damian sustained two blunt-force trauma blows to the right side of his head that caused his brain to swell and bleed. County Medical Examiner Dr. Daniel Spitz testified that the injuries were homicidal in nature, not accidental.
Macomb County Prosecutor Eric Smith was the lead courtroom prosecutor on the case.
"Justice spoke for Damian Sutton today," he said. "We hope that this verdict helps bring some measure of solace to his mother and his relatives.
"Nothing will bring little Damian back to us. The death of this little boy shocks our community. The loss of this tender young life strikes each of us at the heart."
Detectives that interviewed DiMambro said he admitted to shaking and dropping Damian, but didn't confess to causing the fatal blows.
Randy Rodnick, DiMambro's attorney, asked for involuntary manslaughter but was denied. His request to have the jury consider second-degree child abuse was granted, but the jury remained with the first-degree charge.
"The bottom line is the prosecutor did a good job on the case," he said. "You have a beautiful baby that was killed and my client was the only one there, he has a confession, what more can I say."
He said the case was affected by Dimambro's admission to harming Damian, but also when he made a bad joke about Damian being dead a week prior to the incident.
"Who in the hell would make a statement like that," he said.
Rodnick said the niece's testimony was "devastating" as well, as she said DiMambro had mistreated Damian while his mother wasn't there by slapping him around.
Rodnick had suggested to the court that the injuries leading to Damian's death could have been caused by his falling from a tall bar stool and phone book or tumbling down a flight of stairs in the days prior to the 911 call.
Spitz said the symptoms of the blunt-force trauma, such as labored breathing or altered consciousness, would've appeared within seconds or minutes of receiving the blows.

Below are the top humanitarian crises and disasters we are watching and responding to in 2015.
Over 800,000 South Sudanese have been internally displaced, with another 145,000 fleeing to neighboring countries. PHOTO: Joseph Mathenge/World Vision
Civilians are being trapped by the violence in South Sudan, unable to access humanitarian aid.
With more than half a million people provided with survival goods during the first three months of World Vision's response to Typhoon Haiyan, the response team is now focusing on helping families and communities rebuild.
One of Indonesia's deadliest volcanos in recent history, Mt. Sinabung, erupted Saturday, killing at least 14. However, this weekend's disaster followed two others in Indonesia — making it difficult for humanitarian agencies like World Vision to bring relief.
The answer: Very little. But this momentous sporting event presents an opportunity to shine an important spotlight on the most egregious human rights violation of our time.
As world leaders discuss Syria's future, World Vision asked these children to explain what peace means to them.
Cease-fire announced Thursday in Addis Ababa could mean aid agencies can finally access areas where children and families have been.

Lyoto Machida Ponders On Possible Punishment Handed Down By The UFC
"It's hard to say that it exists (a punishment by the UFC). Maybe so, maybe not, perhaps they're keeping me on the sidelines, but I don't believe that. I met with Lorenzo Fertitta in Rio and he talked to me, he said what happened was in the past, for me not to worry. But I find myself in a difficult situation, a complicated one, I don't know if he said that but would act in a different way, or if they're waiting to make a fight. I am waiting, I want to concentrate in my work and accomplish it with proper time."
In a later Tweet he stated…
"Hey guys, I think the Octagon only next year"
I pulled these quotes from Bloodyelbow.com in which the writer translates a statement from former light-heavyweight champion, Lyoto Machida.
Lyoto, with only two losses to his credit (Shogun and Rampage) has not seen the inside of a cage since he viciously knocked out Randy Couture in their UFC 129 featured attraction this past April. He walked away from the fight injury free and ready to take on all comers in hopes to earn another shot at his lost title.
Fast forward a few months and the UFC reached out to Machida to fight Rashad Evans as a late replacement for an injured Phil Davis. With less than two weeks to prepare, it was Machida and his management that asked for additional compensation from their employer as an incentive for taking such a well respected opponent on such short notice. I believe the quote was, "They asked for Anderson Silva money".
The UFC declined and Machida has been on the sidelines ever since.
Who knows if it is really a punishment or not? The UFC has been known to be very unforgiving when things do not go their way, but if this is a sign of punishment is keeping one of their biggest talents on the shelf for more than 8-months a reasonable punishment? Is it fair to the fans?
What say you BJPENN.COM?

I think he should have taken the fight with Rashad, but I don't know if it's appropriate to say that he is being punished. Tito taking that fight certainly elevated Tito's value to the organization, which Lyoto and team could have benefited from. Fighters constantly have to prove themselves in areas of technique, conditioning, heart, etc. Asking for more money is legitimate, but that is the art of negotiation. You should know that others in the organization are willing step up. Pay is definitely part of the compensation for taking a fight, but you also build your reputation which is almost priceless.
Well said.
Yeah half of machidas team didn't have passports or anything. And Dana wanted him to move his fight camp to Vegas. Shit cost money and I wouldn't have done it for 40k.. and if you look at Tito's salary. That dude gets paid twice as much as anybody so money ain't an issue for him. Machida will have his time again.
Wasn't it two weeks notice for the fight! It was something real short. Anyways, what if he was just out of shape, a couple of weeks is not enough time to prep. If that's the case though, he should not have said anything about money.
He might not have been in top shape, but I think fighters are probably working out and practicing all the time. Machida is not a huge light heavyweight and I don't think he drops much to make weight. I guess my point is he shouldn't be waiting for the UFC to give him a fight. If anything, he should be thinking about the fights that would be big strategically, which the Rashad fight could have been. Now they have a line for the title and he is probably toward the back of it.
Tito had absolutely nothing to lose by taking his fight on short notice and everything to gain. Machida has everything to lose. Taking on the number 1 contender in two weeks is a tough request for anyone although if it cemented a title shot he should have considered it.
Agreed, He beat him once. he has the formula. he should have just done it. BJ would have if he was in the same scenario. But yes he did have and still does have a lot to lose, if he lost that fight.
Sucky decision… Machida is one of the best…!!!
Would love to see him take on Jon Jones, and I feel he´s got the best shot at taking him down with his elussive skills, and good counterpunching…
He should of just taken the fight against Rashad. I mean he really wouldn't go up or down the ranks if he lost. Plus he'd walk out of the fight with 6 figures easily. The problem now is that there's no one to fight him. The timing is just bad.
There should be NO punishment at all, its stupid to even suggest that Machida deserves to be punished no matter how much money he asked for in the Evans fight as it was his right to accept or decline that fight with only 2 weeks notice as was it the UFC's right to decline paying him that big money.
On the other hand Machida should have taken that fight as i say he beats Evans 9 out of 10 times and it would have gotten him a title shot which would have lead to big money although there is no way he or anyone else in the LHW division beats Jones
Agreed! He should have taken it but if he wasn't ready, why should he be punished for saying no?
If he is being punished it's certainly not deserved. But i think it's probably more a problem of finding an opponent who makes sense considering the title picture.
taking on some of rashads calibre on two weeks notice is insane, good on him for asking for more money going out there to get your ass beat for peanuts aint worth it, but then again if your asking for anderson silva type of money then lets hope you not only whip rashad into pieces but pull a rabbit out of his ass at the sametime
I'm not missing watching the guy fight. 75% of his fights are snoozers.
how r they snoozers? hes a REAL mixed martial artist, he has the best style to beat Jones, apart from the Shogun fights he's had the guy hes faced knocked down or unleashed beatings on them. think u need to watch the thiago silva fight, and david heath he gave him 9 knees and u call THAT boring
Told ya u fkd up not taking the rashad fight..
I think we're being rewarded not punished.I don't think knocking out an aging star like Randy puts you in the title hunt. Let's be honest he lost that first fight to Shogun, got knocked out by Shogun in their second fight and then got positionally dominated by Rampage for two rounds. He needs to win a couple more fights in impressive manner before he's in the hunt IMHO but, the ko over Randy was only his 4th finish in the UFC so maybe a more agressive Machida will equal another title shot. Plus at least we don't have to see Steven Segal for a while!!!!!!
I'm one of the few who actually agree with the Rampage decision, but to say he dominated any aspect of that fight is ridiculous. The first two rounds were close, but Rampage was able to edge him out. The only thing dominant about that fight was the third round, where Machida whooped Rampage's ass(Rampage's words, not mine).
Also, 3 finishes in his last 4 wins isn't bad.
I said positionally dominate, for two rounds Rampage forced a clinch and pressed Machida against the fence. Not exciting I agree but, hey learn how to pummel and get off the fence. Plus I think his only other finish was Rich Franklin in another company. We're talking about a dude that fought BJ at heavy weight and went to decision. I mean BJ is a bad ass dude but, he only weighed 190ish and Machida was 220ish. He should have went for the win but, just squeaked out a decision. Like he always does, he doesn't deserve a title shot.
It wasnt that he just asked for anderson money. He accepted the fight and then told them he wanted more money. So yeah he deserves the punishment. You negotiate money before you agree to anything
You guys are saying he has a lot to lose while why fight if you think you can't win? You want a title shot but don't wanna take on the number one contender? To be the best you have to fight the best. Lyoto messed up this one and honestly he probably made Dana mad and that's what you get. Just like on the TUF he wants to see people wanting to fight…I've never backed down and never will!…
If you're going to fight the number one contender with 2 weeks notice you deserve to get paid more for it.
There can be alot of reasons why he hasn't been assigned a fight yet. But I think timing was one of the major players that messed it up for him. Besides the whole issue with the Rashad fight, that's entirely between him & the UFC if they can reach an agreement. Yet I think he's been sideline because he was being set up to fight Phil Davis, but since he's still injured that plan got put on ice!
there is plenty of reasons to have this kind of layoff, everyone could be tied up in fights and contracts already, plus lyoto is in no way even close to an anderson silva caliber fighter. everyone knos he shoulda lost the belt the first time he fought shogun. shit bj penn looked ten times better in his first fight with edgar and still lost his title. the only way to move up the ladder in the UFC (even if you are top 5-10) is to fight and beat top guys, tito understood that wen he took the fight even though he got beat up, at least he stepped up
Fuck the management. They're fucking it up for all of us. I want to see Machida fight bad, but his fucking management team got gready and Dana isn't going to deal with that shit. Fuck 'em!
since jon jones is sidelined given a rest i think now machida and rashad should fight..its the only logical fight, its rashads only loss and he should want to keep active so he can be ready for jon jones,, with machida he would be no.1 contender and machida jones is a fight i would love to see i think machida would beat him in my opinion,, every other top fighter in is already booked ,,its bad business to keep lyoto sidelined, i not his biggest fan but the potential rashad fight and jones is getting me hyped
Anderson money? As if Silva is payed well considering who he is and what he has done. He gets paid dick and never gets a bonus for winning.
Machida was basically asked to work over time and when I am asked to work over time I want more money for it. The UFC is cheap and does not want to pay more then they have to because then they would have to do it all the time. Machida is being dealt with by the UFC in a poor way. I just want to see Machida fight at his best so I hope he gets Rampage in Japan or Davis and then Jones. I still live in the Machida era!
shouldnt have been talkin shit machida, askin for all tht money
machida would still beat rashad and hes still a top 5 fighter in the lhw division. anybody who doesnt think so should revert to machida vs rashad footage to help them remember.
He has the tools to dethrone Jones! If the people demand it , politics will overide climbing any ladder (i.e. Kenflo vs Aldo). But since Dana already announced Hendo vs Rua would decide #1 contender, the Dragon is going to scrap atleast one more time before facing Jones. PENN NATION!!!!!!

I've put off saying this for a while now and I wish I had said this earlier. I suspected from the beginning that Indiana Jones was going to be another completely stupid action movie with great special affects and nothing else. I avoided seeing it at all costs because I'm tired of all the movies like that that have sadly become so popular. I mean, doesn't it hurt your brain to watch them. It hurts mine. Anyway, I went to see Prince Caspian not really knowing if it was going to be stupid or not. Over all I'd say I really liked it. They added a lot of things to the story, some of which I think was good and some bad. Like that kiss. Totally unnecessary. And gross. Did it ruin the movie for me? No, not really. At least I didn't feel like my intelligence was being insulted because they had a good story to back up their Hollywood style drama. So I hear Indiana was stupid. Go watch Caspian.

In the 20th century, "culture" emerged as a central concept in anthropology, encompassing the range of human phenomena that cannot be attributed to genetic inheritance. Specifically, the term "culture" in American anthropology had two meanings:
the evolved human capacity to classify and represent experiences with symbols, and to act imaginatively and creatively; and
the distinct ways that people living in different parts of the world classified and represented their experiences, and acted creatively.
Distinctions are currently made between the physical artifacts created by a society, its so-called material culture and everything else, the intangibles such as language, customs, etc. that are the main referent of the term "culture".
In the realm of User Expereince, the tag culture schould be treated as the distinct way people living in different parts of the world classified and represented their experiences. It is important to notice that the meaning of different colors varies greatly between different cultures. Questions having the culture tag regards everything about culture and differences between cultures in User Experience design.

B. Martin Releases His New Mixtape "Music, Love, Enemies"
B. Martin has established himself as one of the most promising up and coming hip-hop artists of our generation. Hailing from Colonie, New York, Brendan has always had a love and passion for music.
Aside from making music at school, he graduated from SUNY Albany's School of Business with a 4.0 GPA.After receiving his degree, Martin left Albany to touch base in New York City and focus on developing his music career.
Best known as B. Martin, the 23 year-old rapper and songwriter signed to Phase One Network in 2011 (a label distributed through Sony/RED). By then he had already garnered a substantial following after winning SUNY Albany's "Battle of the Bands," T-Pain's "Motivated" competition, and opening up for the likes of Mac Miller, Lupe Fiasco, Big Sean, Young Jeezy, Snoop Dogg and Steve Aoki.
B. Martin has a couple titles underneath his belt already. He swept the "Battle for the Best" competition at SXSW this year and he also won Hot 97's "Who's Next" competition.
We've liked B. Martin for some time, but after his performance at Hot 97′s "Summer Jam" 2012, we were completely sold. His raw talent, combined with beats tailored to his style, equate to a rising star. There is no doubt in our mind that he will be the next big thing.
Be sure to check out for B. Martin's new mixtape, Music, Love, Enemies, that was just released today. Here's an excerpt from the mixtape that tells you a little about it:
"This mixtape is an introduction to me. I'd like to think of it more like an album actually. I wanted to show the many different sides of me so people could get a sense of who I am out the gate. I'm giving an underground story with a mainstream feel. Everybody has a passion, everybody loves and everybody struggles. I'm just giving my story and take on life."

Next: Invoking Teseq, Previous: Top, Up: Top [Contents][Index]
GNU Teseq (the author pronounces it: "tea" + "seek") is a tool for analyzing files that contain control characters and terminal control sequences, by printing these control sequences and their meanings in readable English. It is intended to be useful for debugging terminal emulators, and programs that make heavy use of advanced terminal features such as cursor movement, coloring, and other effects.
It is primarily targeted at individuals who possess a basic understanding of terminal control sequences, especially CSI sequences; however, by default Teseq will try to identify and describe the sequences that it encounters, and the behavior they might produce in a terminal.
GNU Teseq is free software. See Copying, for copying conditions.
You can't beat a short example to demonstrate what a program does, so here goes. Suppose you've got a program that writes the following output to a terminal.
Hi there, world
A simple text string, using a boldface font to render the first word.
Suppose that, after a moment or two, the program then replaced the final word "world" with the word "earth".
In order to achieve this effect, the program would have to send
special controls to the terminal to ask it to start writing in bold
text, and then to revert back to normal text for the rest. To replace
the final word, it might have to issue a series of backspaces before
issuing the replacement word. All of this will be handled
transparently by the terminal, and you wouldn't see any of the special
aracters the program sent to the terminal—unless perhaps you
convinced the program to write to a text file as if it were writing to
a terminal, or ran the program under a terminal capture utility such
as the
script command.
You may be able to produce this effect yourself with the following shell command.
$ printf '\033[1mHi\033[m there, world'; sleep 1; \ printf '\b\b\b\b\bearth\n'
If you were to examine the output from such a command with a text editor, it might look something like this.
^[[1mHi^[[m there, world^H^H^H^H^Hearth
Not very readable, is it? That's where Teseq comes in! When you run
that gibberish through the
teseq command with the default
settings, you'll get the following output.
: Esc [ 1 m & SGR: SELECT GRAPHIC RENDITION " Set bold text. |Hi| : Esc [ 0 m & SGR: SELECT GRAPHIC RENDITION " Clear graphic rendition to defaults. | there, world| . BS/^H BS/^H BS/^H BS/^H BS/^H |earth|.
Note that the special control sequences that tell the terminal to start and stop writing in boldface text are separated out on their own lines (prefixed with a colon ':'), and followed by an identification (prefixed with an ampersand '&') and a description of what it does (prefixed with a quote character '"').
The actual text appears in lines bracketed by pipe '|' characters.
The series of single-character backspace controls appear on a line prefixed with a period '.', identified by its identifying acronym (BS for BACKSPACE), and its control-key representation (Control-H).
The final word, "earth", is followed by a period just after the closing pipe symbol; this indicates a following linefeed (or "newline") character.
reseq command may be used to reverse the procedure,
accepting the above input and printing out the original set of escape
sequences that produced it. See Reseq.

If you can't find a serial number on your dumper, other information that can help us to identify your machine, and spares parts is, engine model and serial number, numbers on axles and gearbox, 2 wheel drive or 4 wheel drive ?, hydraulic skip or manual skip ?, one skip ram or two ?, how many wheel studs ?.
Most (not all) of the above dumpers will have mineral oil in the brake reservoir, and not brake fluid. Beware of this, as the wrong fluid will rot the seals.
Thanks for your quick, efficient service, as always.
Hi there,
Just want to say THANKS. All the parts has come in great condition and everything has come perfectly together. Thanks again for your help!
Best regards.
Thanks again Graham. Parts arrived on time, and all correct.

Equations to convert compacted crown ratio to uncompacted crown ratio for trees in the Interior West
Toney, Chris; Reeves, Matthew C. 2009. Equations to convert compacted crown ratio to uncompacted crown ratio for trees in the Interior West. Western Journal of Applied Forestry. 24(2): 76-82.
Crown ratio is the proportion of total tree length supporting live foliage. Inventory programs of the US Forest Service generally define crown ratio in terms of compacted or uncompacted measurements. Measurement of compacted crown ratio (CCR) involves envisioning the transfer of lower branches of trees with asymmetric crowns to fill holes in the upper portion of the crown. Uncompacted crown ratio (UNCR) is measured without adjustment for holes in the crown and may be a more appropriate measurement when interest is on height to the first live branches in the crown. CCR is more commonly available because it is a standard measurement of the Forest Inventory and Analysis (FIA) program of US Forest Service, and UNCR is an optional measurement at the discretion of regional FIA units. The mean difference between UNCR and CCR of trees in the western United States (0.17 live crown) could be large enough to introduce biologically significant bias in applications that use crown ratio to derive height to crown base. Equations were developed to convert CCR to UNCR for 35 tree species in Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, Nevada, Utah, Colorado, Arizona, and New Mexico using data from the Interior West FIA unit. UNCR was modeled as a logistic function of CCR and tree diameter, and species-specific equations were fit by nonlinear regression. Root mean squared error for the regression equations ranged from 0.06 to 0.15 UNCR (mean absolute error, 0.04-0.12 UNCR). Equations for most species performed well when applied to test data that were not available at the time of model fitting.
Keywords: canopy fuel, crown modeling, FIA, forest inventory and analysis, nonlinear regression

Buzz West features the hottest amateur military straight guys stroking, fucking, and rimming their friends on cam! Never before seen military hunks get nude for you!
I met Scott at a house party a few months ago, but he wouldn't film with me until he was out of the Marines. We ran into each other at a Jacuzzi party recently and had been drinking quite a bit. I had my head laid back on the side of the spa, and next thing I know he tea bags me! I was in love, and let me tell you, it was the best eye treatment I've ever had! I've still got that grin stuck on my face from that party...LOL Anyway, I found out that he was out of the Marines and wanted to fulfill his porn fantasy. He's quite a show off to say the least, and not shy at all. Beautiful blue eyes, tight body, big hands, nice fat dick, low hangin balls, and he's a big flirt. Perfect! I hope he will come back and play with us more!

ELIZABETHTON — Members of the Carter County Planning Commission had a conversation with officials of the Johnson City Field Office of the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation Tuesday morning to learn more about the county's requirements under the federally mandated stormwater program.
The planners heard from Mark Braswell, regional director for TDEC, Jeff Horton, who covers surface water for the field office, and Brown Patton, who covers water pollution control.
Horton said the stormwater requirements the county must complete are "part of the federal government's mandate. They require us to do our jobs, so that is why we are here today."
One contentious matter was raised by Planning Commission Chairman Steve Pierce, who said an audit was completed by the state in April, but the local office did not hear any more about the audit until Sept. 20, when a notice of violation was sent, listing four areas that must be corrected. He said there was only a 30-day deadline to respond.
Braswell explained the findings from the audit had gone through several offices before the notice was sent. Brown said the 30-day deadline was merely to send back a letter on how the remedies will be made.
During the meeting, the commissioners unanimously approved several remedies, including a timeline on actions to be taken from Oct. 9 through early 2013.
Two of the remedies were unanimously approved Tuesday, including revisions to the county's stormwater resolution and reaffirming the county's post-construction agreement.
Amendments to the Carter County Stormwater Resolution will include a definition of "hot spots" and the adoption of a new Public Information and Education Plan. New standard operating procedures will be adopted concerning illicit discharge detection and elimination.
These amendments will be sent to the County Commission for final approval in February or March.
The planners also will bid out a monitoring and recordkeeping project on streams that have been listed as contaminated.
Beginning in January, a more intense program of training county employees about impacts to water quality, including all employees associated with maintenance, road work and landfill operations.
Part of the amendments adopted Tuesday included a section on penalties for violations of county stormwater regulations. The penalties were in a range of $50 to $5,000 per day.
Pierce wondered about the $5,000 a day penalty. The field office personnel told him it merely matched the state regulations and provided for a flexible range to meet the various problems that could be encountered in the county.
Planning Director Chris Schuettler said the county is continuing with its stormwater mapping program and is about 75 percent completed. He said the timeline for finishing the project is May.

Step 1: Supplies
You will need:
A tarp: The bigger the tarp the bigger the tent. Also, longer tarps will allow for the construction of a tent floor.
Trekking poles: The best way to pitch a tarp tent is with trekking poles. If you don't hike with them and you are camping near trees you can alternatively tie a rope between two trees.
A rope: Used if no trekking poles are available.
Utility stakes: Any type of tent stake will work.
Step 2: Laying out the tarp and initial pitching
Next place a trekking pole about 2/3 of the way back under the tarp If the rear of the tarp does not touch the ground pull it gently until it does so.
Then pull all of the tent sides taught and begin to stake out the tent. At this time you may adjust the location of the tent or trekking pole.
Step 3: Final touches
To do this place the other trekking pole in the center of the front edge of the tarp. At this time make any further necessary adjustments to the tent stakes.
Step 4: Rope tent
1: Tie a rope between two trees (or one tree and a stake)
2: Lay the tarp over the line, with the rope intersecting the long side for more space and the shorter side for a tent floor.
3: Stake out the tent and fold the extra tarp under the tent for a floor. (see pictures)
For the tent floor stake out only the corners but from the inside, then fold the tarp under.

- people in the U.S. have this name View Jason Gehlen on Whitepages
Meaning & Origins
English form of the Greek name Iasōn, borne in classical mythology by a hero, leader of the Argonauts, who sailed to Colchis in search of the Golden Fleece, enduring many hardships and adventures. The sorceress Medea fell in love with him and helped him to obtain the Fleece; they escaped together and should have lived happily ever after. However, Jason fell in love with another woman and deserted Medea. Medea took her revenge by killing her rival, but Jason himself survived to be killed in old age by one of the rotting timbers of his ship, the Argo, falling on his head. The classical Greek name Iasōn probably derives from Greek iasthai 'to heal'. In New Testament Greek, the name probably represents a classicized form of Joshua. It was borne by an early Christian in Thessalonica, at whose house St Paul stayed (Acts 17:5–9; Romans 16:21). Probably for this reason, it enjoyed some use among the Puritans in the 16th and 17th centuries. The name has been used for various characters in films and television series, and in the mid-20th century it enjoyed a sudden burst of popularity, although it was also the subject of some rather surprising hostility. Among popular non-fictional bearers of the name are the film actor Jason Robards (1922–2000), his father (1893–1963), also a film actor, and, more recently, the Australian actor Jason Donovan (b. 1968).

Tea Party by Butch Morris
I had a good time at the Deer Festival this past weekend. I hope you made it to the fair grounds and found something that interested you.
I did duty at the Tea Party tent which was beside the Republican Party tent. We kinda helped each other. We were there stumping for the Republican candidates in the up coming elections. The Tea Party is behind these candidates because we believe that they represent conservative ideals and are prepared to stand up for these principals.

40,000 people die each year in car accidents. The leading cause of death for people under the age of 35 is failure to wear safety belts. Safety belts can prevent death in about half of these accidents.
Seat belts are required for the operator and front passengers per Title 47 12-417. Every operator and front seat passenger of a passenger car operated in this state shall wear a properly adjusted safety seat belt system, required to be installed in the motor vehicle when manufactured pursuant to 49 C.F.R. 571.208.

Project Patron started as a dream plan in 2005: an expansion for the Antlers Public Library highlighting Antlers as the Deer Capital of the World and Pushmataha County's Choctaw heritage. The plan conjured pictures of a Barnes and Noble bookstore decorated like a Bass Pro Shop. Seven years, 3 major grants, and many fundraisers later, the construction of the 1,620 square feet expansion was complete. Time for the renovation and redesign phase to begin.

Social Security. Who do you trust yours with? Do you want a liberal/socialist looking after your interests? Or would you prefer someone who is conservative and a successful business man?
Every presidential election this issue comes up. Usually the Democrats demonize the Republicans as to being insensitive and uncaring to the issues of senior citizens. Conversely the Republicans accuse the Democrats of being poor managers and raiding the system every chance they get. And who knows what else.
Should we send a Democrat or Republican to Congress this year? Does it matter?
In answer to the second question, yes, it does, if the past is any indication. Most national representatives vote the way their party votes. If you look at Obama Care, as I understand it, 60 percent of Americans were against it, yet the Democrats passed it.
Sometimes the Republicans are a bit eager to compromise on core issues.
