The Black Sea is the largest surface-exposed, permanently anoxic basin on this planet. In this area, the high intensity of photosynthetic primary production in the surface waters, the associated flux of organic carbon, and the shallow sill depth has led to the development and maintenance of the largest, stable oxic/anoxic interface on the planet (3). This interface, or chemocline (defined by the first appearance of hydrogen sulfide in the water column) is located at 81 to 99 m depth (3, 16). A 20- to 30-m-deep suboxic layer depleted in both O2 and H2S overlies the sulfide zone (16). The stratified water column in the Black Sea is believed to host more active and diverse microbial assemblages than anywhere else in the pelagic ocean (14). As such, the Black Sea is an excellent model system for studying oxic/anoxic interfaces, essentially stretching a chemocline normally encountered on the submillimeter scale over tens of meters. Although other oxic/anoxic regions exist and reports of molecular characterization of microbial communities from the Cariaco Trench (23) or sedimentary systems (12, 22, 40, 42) have been published, few systematic profiles of the transition between oxic and anoxic bacterial communities beyond a domain- or group-specific approach have been reported. The purpose of this study was to characterize the Bacteria and Archaea populations in the Black Sea at a species-specific level and to correlate the vertical distribution of the various prokaryotic plankton with the profiles of terminal electron acceptors that occur throughout the oxic/anoxic chemocline.

Hey you wanna buy 44 tons of bison meat? http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5gaX7Lh1Y8Y7Ry876CsYd4ziZ9PlQD9B4GF1G0

It is with reason and terrible experience that we call the pre-born Abomination. For who knows what lost and damned persona out of our evil past may take over the living flesh?

4th and low 5th is often equal to choss and loose blocks. steeper rock is frequently more solid.

So I guess the turns on White Salmon aren't happening just yet... -
"Do you want to buy a steak? No? OK, how 'bout some meth?" Surprised that no one has mentioned that door to door sales are the perfect cover for finding out who's away from home in the neighbourhood, & planning breakins. I had a couple of door to door gigs a long time ago and it was always pretty obvious once you've knocked on a door, when the mailbox is stuffed full and there's a weeks worth of newspapers on the mat, who is not coming home anytime soon vs. who is just away for the day at work.

First one was one of Andy Cairns old cams: solid shafted #2 or 2.5 Friend placed at an angle in a pod on Eagles Domain. Fell (20 footer) out of wet crack onto friend, which rotated out of crack & turned 20 foot fall into 50-plus foot fall. Afterwards examination showed one side of cam had broken trigger wires & possibly internal springs at point where wires connect to cams; on that side of the unit the cams were then free to move allowing cam to rotate around them when placed. Not sure after the fact if this was the bottom or top side in the placement, suspect it was the bottom. second time was when climbing Ultimate Everything before the FA when it was still a project. Had a yellow older TCU, again at an angle, in a pod excavated from dirt in a muddy crack. fell off, weighted TCU. seemed to hold and lowered on it but when i was about three or four feet off the ground it ripped. examination showed TCU, that was of the type with inserted (aluminum dowel) cam stops rather than machined cam stops, had the cam stops on one side completely deformed and bent out of line, allowing cams to completely rotate around axle. sent that one back to Metolius and they gave $15 discount on new cam as they claimed it was too old to warranty.

I've broken two cams in falls over the years. No pics though.

If your girlfriend owns the sheep you just fucked, is it infidelity?

I'm perfect, and I'm also humble, so I'll pretend to agree with you so as to save you some face.

So whatever happened with Desire this summer Brianna? Especially considering half of Bella Coola was in flames over the summer.

The thing about Bill is he's mostly so dumb he doesn't understand the zings, and about Tvash is he's so self-centred: an insult to an attention whore is a compliment, because you paid him attention. These two conditions are not complementary so they make an odd couple indeed.

We made our own steaksauce this year. Sure did, Nodder.
