HuskyCaucasian Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 Atlantis-Like Landscape Discovered Buried deep beneath the sediment of the North Atlantic Ocean lies an ancient, lost landscape with furrows cut by rivers and peaks that once belonged to mountains. Geologists recently discovered this roughly 56-million-year-old landscape using data gathered for oil companies. "It looks for all the world like a map of a bit of a country onshore," said Nicky White, the senior researcher. "It is like an ancient fossil landscape preserved 2 kilometers (1.2 miles) beneath the seabed." So far, the data have revealed a landscape about 3,861 square miles (10,000 square km) west of the Orkney-Shetland Islands that stretched above sea level by almost as much as 0.6 miles (1 km). White and colleagues suspect it is part of a larger region that merged with what is now Scotland and may have extended toward Norway in a hot, prehuman world.

SoxFan1 Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jul 12, 2011 -> 10:39 AM) I remember being excited to graduate and then having a terrible terrible sadness creep over me as we packed. It was unbelievably depressing. I stayed another 4 months to do some grad work at school and it was pretty sad just knowing it was over. However, the fun doesnt stop, its actually just beginning. Working sucks, but the money doesnt. PLus you have much more freedom as you get a job, a new place and move on. The mid 20s are pretty awesome. Worst part about it is that I have another semester before I graduate in December. My 2 best friends, one I lived with for all 4 years and the other for 3, are both done and gone. I'm excited to graduate from classes, but I'm not excited about graduating from college, if you know what I mean. I've had this lingering depression for the last 3 months since school was about over and walking out of my apartment for the final time and hugging my friends goodbye was awful. Didn't help that I was getting all kinds of tweets and facebook messages about how awesome our place was and how many people partied there. As far as the future, working shouldn't suck for me with the field I'm in but you the uncertainty is scary. At this point next year, I haven't the SLIGHTEST clue about where I will be working, if anywhere at all. I look forward to being free of classes though.

Scrabble by EA (game) Meganoid (game) Tank Hero (game) Just Pictures is my favorite photo viewing app. Shows your flickr, facebook, picasa photos all in one place as well as the photos on your phone. Is compatible with a bunch of other photo sites. Pulse news reader is a great blog/news aggregator with a nice interface. HBO Go if you have an HBO subscription Skifta if you have DNLA enabled devices at home (wirelessly share videos, music, photos from your phone) IMDb My current app list Edited July 14, 2011 by BigSqwert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lostfan Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 I hate Delta Dental sooooo much. I literally have not had a single positive experience with them in a year and a half. I'm convinced that their actual business model is to hire only employees whose IQ is not above room temperature (in an air conditioned office) so that the customers eventually get exasperated and give up trying to reason with them and pay out of pocket to avoid the hassle.

JPN366 Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 On the kids menu at Zaxby's, they have a meal called the "Kiddie Finger." For those of you who don't know, Zaxby's specializes in chicken fingers. There's just something wrong with that name, 'Kiddie Finger." Maybe it's just me, I don't know.

Balta1701 Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 I'm getting really sick of going into someone's thesis defense, asking a question at the end, then being pulled over by the person's adviser and told that question is exactly what they're working on/struggling with right now and that's why the student's answer wasn't complete. If I'm this good at figuring out other people's research then someone give me a faculty job and let me grill these people in defenses already!!!! /Rant.
