I believe they also broke 128bit https encryption. No "secure" web transaction is truly secure now (especially if the methods they used get into the wrong hands).
He's no saint, but I also believe he is to be thanked for exposing the extent of the NSA's unconstitutional activities.

Nailed it. As for parallels, it's all in the phrasing.

Yes, great photos. I especially like the second one. Crazy Lace is one of my faves.

Don't forget steam powered equipment, including drag saws.

I can't wait to see a closeup of that material. Congrats on the nice finds!

Most rocks already exhibit a fracture pattern, unless they've been eroded by transport. The location where it was found is also very helpful in identification.

Congrats Fishenman! Thanks for the contest, Condor! This contest was much more exciting than the game itself. What an embarrassment for the Broncos.

I picked up a CFL black light bulb, but haven't used it yet. My understanding is that the incandescent "black light" party bulbs don't actually put out much UV, but fluorescents do better.

That's a beauty Fossilman. Enchantra: ZRS Fossils and Gifts is a local business that has a really nice selection of quality stuff. They're a reputable company that also leads international trips. I don't know if they have exactly what you're looking for. www.zrsfossils.com/Chuck

Really nice. I've got a bucket to cut. I never considered fractures because most of the rocks I have don't have visible ones. Now I think they're just hiding.

I think Scott hit it on the head (at least for me): as I've gained experiences I've gotten better at high grading.

All nice, but I really like the tubes in the last one. Bummer about the fractures. :-(

A lot of the plume nodules I picked up are in the 1"-2" range, which are really going to be a pain to cut. I made one of bobby1's rock clamps so that should help. Fortification pieces ranged much bigger. A lot of the plume nodules I picked up were translucent white, but with other colors thrown in. Some of the nicest pieces of bouquet were just very thin (quarter inch or less) bubbled pieces. Those will remain as specimens because there's really no good way to cut them.

This sounds like the same ranch I went to with my daughter, Roswelljero, and Spikeict a couple of years ago. The trip leader, Teri, described it as a "target rich environment". The ground was covered with agate and chalcedony. I've never seen so much at once. Some of the agates are ringers for Montana agate, which still surprises me. We took 5 buckets down the hill and then high graded them down to 3, so about 200 lbs. of agate.
The trip will likely start at the Antelope Lodge in Alpine. Great rock museum in the hotel office. There are several hotels in Alpine and likely camping in the area (I camped at Stillwell Ranch). While you're there you can make a trip to Stillwell or Woodward Ranch (although I was pretty disappointed with Woodward).
Roy: They're a pain to cut because they're small and they have to be candled to orient them properly in the saw.

My son loves beef jerky. Thanks for the contest, Condor! Good to see you're still around!
And I'm staying away from the jerked Condor meat comment (at least as much as I can).

I think they just use the same forum hosting software, proboards.

The Thumler's 12 lb. liner also fits a Star Diamond barrel. The only 6 lb. liners I've found have been used. Can't help with the gear.

When you cut that rock, I would cut it along the big fracture at the 1 o'clock position.
If you're near the Twin Cities, I'd be happy to help you out cutting a rock or two.
