Another fun weekend for me analyzing zircon on the SHRIMP-RG at Stanford University! I really know how to live it up during the summer.

Some news bits:

    That’s funny – I’ve seen bits and pieces of SHRIMP in various workshops but I’ve never seen an assembled machine (although I know of 2 in proximity). So what’s the big deal with SHRIMP; I haven’t met anyone who could tell me. :}

    I’m not a scientist, but I got curious about the Shrimp RG. Here is what I found at http://shrimprg.stanford.edu/page2frame.html

    “The SHRIMP RG has capabilities that are common to most ion microprobes, that is the direct sampling of a target through sputtering a small volume of material. The special feature of the SHRIMP RG is the capability of extremely high mass resolution which allows the exclusion of more isobaric interferences. Trace element analysis is being carried out at high mass resolution rather than using the energy filtering technique. We are currently working on the development of a set of standards of geologically useful materials.

    SHRIMPs are well known for U-Pb geochronology, and we have developed highly successful protocols for zircon analysis. In addition, the high abundance sensitivity of the SHRIMP RG has allowed us to identify the isobaric interference under Pb-204 in monazite as doubly charged ThNdO2.”

    Also, the machine costs about $1,700 dollars a day for “external users”.

    Hope that answers the question – Erik’s time is at a premium!

    “Like a giant fist punching through the earth, a 1,000-foot long section of the beach below Bluff Point rose up 20 feet from the tidelands sometime last Friday or late Thursday, pushing boulders up from the ocean bottom, cracking sandstone slabs and toppling rocks upside down.”

    This makes you inquire why would YouTube implant such a Abbusive system ? and not merely make any view count as a view. The cause is back when this system was integrated individuals use to junk e-mail views. Continuously refreshing the pages for making their view count higher. So YouTube decided  to chop down by generating this system a rather better, Now YouTube only counts Real Views.

    Your beliefs regarding sin and guilt are YOURS as well as your values and moral standards. Nowhere in the Constitution are we given the right to tell others how they can live. Your rights end where someone elses begin. What you are doing is buying into the idea that you are somehow better than someone else. Your own Bible tells you to judge not, lest ye be judged. That is pretty plainly stated. If you believe what is contained in that book, mind your own business and leave the judgement to your God.
