Severe Attention Seekers


There are those people who I deemed as “sociopath”. People have different ways of leading their life and to some extend I deemed some to have mind-linkage-action distortion. Some people crave for dire attention in their life. They would sweet talk to people in hopes that he would gain people’s trust and attention. They do not wish to be alone and to them, people around them are just like a pillow, discarded once used or replaced. These are the people I despised of, tremendously, extravangantly. In hopes for being a “superstar” and have their heads held high, thinking that people would be starstruckked and be in awe watching them, those people are pathetic because other than the cheap skills to gain people trust, people will soon realized their true nature and future doesn’t seem to look good for them…

So.. the best point of identifying those people are rather easy.

Egocentrism -Those people have high regards of what they think they are in best. Then, they would brag and exaggerate of their pros in front of people. Stay close to people around him and develop a status around the circle. They have high social skills, able to blend in instinctively. Conversely, It can be said as a persistent self indulgence manipulative behavior for their own benefits. They would to what it takes regardless of integrity or moral conscience to achieve that.

Speech – have high charisma but contents trails of “want to impress” and lacks details pertaining to the subject matters.

Sensitivity – dislike and to even high extend of despise or hate people who doesn’t not fit it to his criteria as “friends”. Low tolerance to people with opposite attitude, people who critics his “good point”

Appearance – make up to draw attention to self. Self indulgence/love. Have pride of own personality and unwillingness to change.

Stability - Influenced easily when drawn an unfamiliar situation

Oldest Rock in the World

paleogeology.blogspot.com

Acasta Gneiss is dated way back to the Hadean Eon( the age of fire ) during the time when volcanism were active to form the Earth's layer. It is subjected to pressure and heat later cooling and deposited. Found in Northwest Territories, Canada, it aged 4.031 billion years and dated using the radiometric dating of zircon crystal.

Different minerals have different uranium content and zircon being used predominantly in fission tracking to determine the age of rocks.

Pokemon Black 2 & White 2: The Comeback

3 new gym leaders has been revealed during the sneek peek of the games. It brings excitement and also some displeased to me to see some of the gym leaders missing in action. 

A patrat in Cheren's team.. What a drag...

Basic badge kicks in and a new badge presumably Homika's gym badge

  


Cheren now give Basic Badge replacing the Archaeologist Lenora.It is comfirmed that he is the first gym leader, which is pretty disappointing to see because he did beat all the gym leaders in Black and White and now having a low level team after 2 years @@ The producer should give him more credit like Blue did, replacing Giovanni as the strongest gym in Kanto. 
Next to see is Homika, the poison type gym leader that knows how to rock the house or her gym with bass guitar.She is the 3rd gym leader specialize in poison type since it debut in Kanto few years back with Koga and Janine. She has a coffing in her team (in the anime). Her father is associated with pokewood, some movie showcase.

Next is another water type gym leader Shizui. It gives me a lot of qualms. I do really hope for a 1st dark type gym leader in this region.
                                                       


It is also stated that N has not been seen since the Unova crisis according to one of the Sage. However, I think that he might have a big role in this games. He still have the dragon pokemon Reshiram/Zekrom with him anyway. That's an important element for either Black Kyurem/White Kyurem to form. Team Plasma is confirmed as the badass villian team and I highly anticipate their motive after the loss 2 years ago. It would be nice to see Ghetsis makes his move and the Sages have more active role in the villianous team.

Then, we have Bianca who become Professor Juniper's assistant giving the main character the starter. It was good choice for her anyway. She was never suitable for pokemon battle. I always thought that she was too feeble to be a pokemon trainer. 



The most intriguing of Black 2 and White 2 is inevitably the World Tournament featuring battles with famous gym leaders, trainers and champion from all the region. I hope the battle format would be similar to the battle Dome in Emerald. That would be wicked cool.This is something that we would not miss. Woah... pokemon games just never stops to amaze the fans.

Pokemon Black 2 & White 2: Introduction


             File:Pokémon Black 2 logo JP.png File:Pokémon White 2 logo JP.png









The latest Pokemon Black 2 and White 2 is set to be release at 23 June 2012 in Japan is a total thrill. I've been fan-love pokemon since i have baby tooth... =) 

This is the first time a generation games has a different timeline as opposed to Emerald or Platinum version that add new feature on the prequel game.

Black 2 and White 2 takes places 2 years after the Unova Crisis with more unfinished business, epic storyline and new characters.

The main pokemon Black Kyurem and White Kyurem serves as the mascot for the new games. New players and new rival appear in the game.

Unova has changed after 2 years. From the map, we see a new section from south wes. It's called the Aspertia City where the main character starts his/her journey. It has been told that all the gyms and its layeout are changed.

It seems that the construction at  Route 4 has completed and a new market place has been set there. The pokemon musical has also been replaced by Pokewood. The Ice encasing on the map is probably just to hide some of the new features. Right next to the entraline in the middle, there seems to be a new airport. =)
I figure the small yellow boat on the south west is our ticket to Castelia City. So far other city like Castelia City, Opeculid City and Anville Town seems to be the same. After two years of drastic change, new pokemon that aren't native to Unova like Mareep, Arcanine, Metagross, Psyduck and etc also appears in the game.

Earth Science: Thunder Egg

http://geology.about.com/library/bl/images/blthunderegg.htm

An advanced form of precipitation of minerals inside an encased stone. It is considered as a "solid geode". The minerals are commonly agate, chalcedony (a variation of silica) or calcite. It has an igneous origin.

For igneous origin, it is most likely due to the solidification high viscosity magma from perlite flow ( a volcanic rocks that has 2-5% of water content, Obsidian being less than 2%). The encased magma mix with earth mud and expand as a result of chemical reaction. With space present, minerals grow and precipitate in fully within. Some suggest that when perlite flow is cooled enough to a certain temperature, mud magma layer may shrink allow space for mineral precipitation.

Earth Science: Rip Up Clasts

As the name suggest itself, clastic sediments are being "rip up" from the original depositional basin and being brought to close proximity to the basin. It is an example of intraformational type conglomerate ( if there're more sediments that surrounds the clast and lithify it ) or else it itself can be classified as oligomictic conglomerate (provided that the basin consists of thick layers of a type sediment)

Interesting and Intriguing at the same time...

Mudstone (dark) from a nearby basin being surrounded by coarse sandstone (brown)

Earth Science: Dropstone

A stone embeded in a stratigraphy of rocks. Normally associated with ice rafting during Pleistocene. Ice were abundent at that time and sea level were low. Rocks/debris trapped within the ice escaped when the ice melt and it sanks into the suface (sea floor or rivers). Over times, it is lithified by overburden caused by new layers of sediments.

On some occasion, rock debris that are freed from melting may fall directly on sediment layers matrix like silt and clay) forming paraconglomerate rudites.
