Icebergs  

Posted by Skins #1 fan (or cody)

















Icebergs in the Antarctic area sometimes have stripes, formed by layers of snow that react to different conditions.




Blue stripes are often created when a crevice in the ice sheet fills up with meltwater and freezes so quickly that no bubbles form.





When an iceberg falls into the sea, a layer of salty seawater can freeze to the underside. If this is rich in algae, it can form a green stripe.





Brown, black and yellow lines are caused by sediment, picked up when the ice sheet grinds downhill towards the sea.... Is this amazing??





Antarctica Frozen Wave Pixs - Nature is amazing! The water froze the instant the wave broke through the ice. That's what it is like in Antarctica where it is the
coldest weather in decades. Water freezes the instant it comes in contact with the air. The temperature of the water is already some degrees below freezing.Just look at how the wave froze in mid-air!!!

NEW OFFICE POLICY
Dress Code:
1) You are advised to come to work dressed accordingto your salary.
2) If we see you wearing Prada shoes and carrying aGucci bag, we will assume you are doing well financially and therefore do not need a raise.
3) If you dress poorly, you need to learn to manage your money better, so that you may buy nicer clothes, and therefore you do not need a raise.
4) If you dress just right, you are right where you need to be and therefore you do not need a raise.
Sick Days:We will no longer accept a doctor's statement as proof of sickness. If you are able to go to the doctor, you are able to come to work.

In rare cases where employee involvement is necessary,the funeral should be scheduled in the late afternoon.We will be glad to allow you to work through yourlunch hour and subsequently leave one hour early.
Bathroom Breaks: Entirely too much time is being spent in the toilet. There is now a strict three-minute time limit in the stalls. At the end of three minutes, an alarm will sound, the toilet paper roll will retract, the stall door will open, and a picture will be taken. After your second offense,your picture will be posted on the company bulletin boardunder the 'Chronic Offenders' category.

Six flagz!  

Posted by The Ordinary

Hey folks! R.G. here! Just got back from six flags, and boy did i have a blast! I went on all the rollercoasters (cept for mind eraser, went on it last year and broke some ribs) and some water rides! A couple of friends and I went to the kiddy section as well and rode the toddle coaster, it was awesome! There was also Some raccoon that was apparently sick and wandering around.

Well I just want to say that my top 3 favs are Superman, batwing, and joker's jinx. I love batwing because its the only coaster that actually makes you feel like you were flying. Superman was awesome as well, but it gets kind of boring after the first hill.

Later on a bunch of CLC people gathered infront of one of the main buildings. Suddenly, to our surprise, Cotton eyed Joe started playing. Of course we couldnt just stand there, we had to dance! This of course atracted a crowd, and some random people tried to dance with us, while others simply pointed and took videos. It was Awesome!

Several times During the day I got seperated from my "group" and had to join another one. I had alot of fun overall and cant wait to do it again next year! I Had an AWESOME time with all you guys out there! You are awesome friends!


Rollercoastingly,

-R.G.

P.S. - HAPPY 14TH BIRTHDAY MEGHAN PERDUE!

P.P.S- We also did the macarena, the cha-cha slide, and the hokey pokey as well.

Cody has ARRIVED!  

Posted by Skins #1 fan (or cody)

Hey guys, just to start off my term as "Author of Life-n-Jeans" I shall post a small tid-bit!
This ship is the USS New York. It was built with 24 tons of scrap steel from the World Trade Center. It is the fifth in a new class of warship - designed for missions that include special operations against terrorists. It will carry a crew of 360 sailors and 700 combat-ready Marines to be delivered ashore by helicopters and assault craft.
Steel from the World Trade Center was melted down in a foundry in Amite, LA to cast the ship's bow section. When it was poured into the molds on Sept 9, 2003, 'those big rough steelworkers treated it with total reverence,' recalled Navy Capt. Kevin Wensing, who was there. 'It was a spiritual moment for everybody there.'
Junior Chavers, foundry operations manager, said that when the trade center steel first arrived, he touched it with his hand and the 'hair on my neck stood up.' 'It had a big meaning to it for all of us,' he said. 'They knocked us down but They can't keep us down. We're going to be back.'
The ship's motto? 'Never Forget'
