They say don't judge a book by its cover, and boy, has this book had its moments. As my time at Always Sun City comes to a close, my heart is full of so many emotions. As many things that are completely opposite from the United States here in China, the fact is, what is the same is that wherever you go there are people who will do you wrong. More importantly, there will people who will become friends and wonderful memories for life.
I will always remember Shane, Ruby, Jenny, Gavin, Rachel, Miki, Ivy, Vicki, Amy, Vivi and especially Eileen for helping me grow as a teacher, helping me with logistical issues and getting me through my time at Always.
Did a small part of me feel robbed in the beginning? Absolutely. I spent months and a lot of money to train to teach a certain age. I wanted all high school or all adult learners. But, how was I to know that even when asking a direct question to the power that was that I would be blatantly lied to? I found out that it's happened before many times, and I found out one person was mainly to blame and not my school itself. They were nothing but helpful and wonderful. So, my first piece of advice to anyone planning on doing this is to research, research, research and ask questions of people beforehand who are native English speakers. Ask every little question you can think of and more regarding the things that are important to you when moving. Don't settle for a roundabout answer. Get direct details. Your school, no matter how great they are (and mine was compared to other horror stories I heard) can't possibly answer the little things that may be personally important to you. I didn't know that even though they advertised K-12, there were only K-8 at the most at this school. Asking an English speaking teacher that direct question will save you time and energy in the vague-answering land known as China.
I was given serious and even sometimes helpful reviews, yet the school logo was spelled wrong on most of the marketing materials, there were major English errors in the curriculum (which I don't think were even written by a native English speaker), and they hired someone who absolutely wasn't qualified to do what they were asking, yet I waded through it somehow. Their "SmartBoard training" lasted no more than 10 minutes and their "classroom training" session had NOTHING to do with what I actually was asked to teach on a weekly basis. Even halfway through the semester, when I was sent to a public school for extra hours, they sent me in with 10 sentences and zero information or technology, forcing me to wing almost every class. A lot of the studies called for audio listening, yet there was no CD, tape player, nothing to supplement the book, so I had to skip those sections or become my own audio. If it weren't for another expat's premade slides and technology back at the regular school, I would've absolutely sunk. They do the best they can with what they have, and the fact that I care that it should be better perhaps says a lot about my growth as a teacher. I am absolutely a more patient and "go-with-the-flow" person than I've ever been. It also allowed me to come up with fun games on my own, which ended up being a blessing in disguise. I found out quickly which games were hits and which ones failed, and I grew leaps and bounds as a teacher.
When it came to things outside of the school, like the airport pickup, my sweet apartment, getting my bank account, helping with trips, etc., the school was incredibly awesome. They were eager to help and to answer any questions I had about daily life in Jinan. I can't say enough good things about the efficiency of this part of my stay.
While I would not trade my particular school for anything, I also feel kind of sad because of the location I was put in. I was so far away from the other expats, which I really envisioned getting to know a lot more than I did, and city life. People here really do settle into everyday life more than I expected, however the last couple of weeks I branched out more, which in turn cultivated many more friendships. That was a big lesson and true to another major cliché—you definitely get out of something what you put into it.
With that being said, do I feel like I made a difference in a child's life? With their attention spans, I doubt most of them remember who I am past Saturday. But now that the bulk of teaching is over, I can look back and cherish the faces in each class. I did find that whenever new kids and their parents would enter a class to check out the school (promo classes) that I was protective of my current students over the new kids. We had built a bond and I felt like the outsiders had invaded their turf. Perhaps that was a bit of a maternal instinct taking over that I've never had before. I want to say in the tougher little kid (Sticker) classes that I tried. God, did I try. I tried picturing the kids as my friends' kids. I love my friends' kids because I know them and they are the spawn of the best people I know. I tried picturing them as a litter of puppies, which I would adore and have the time of my life with. Some days it worked OK, and I've definitely grown to love and will miss many of my students. Hearing "Hallo Aleeesa" did warm my cold, dead heart. I will see their faces in my mind for the rest of my life and wonder 20 years down the road what kind of adults they are.
I will remember my very first New Parade class and how I was so nervous and scared and NO IDEA what I was doing when I walked in. I will remember Rain, and his amazing note to me and how I wished he was in the class the full semester (he came in half way). I will remember Vicki and her pink glasses and how she and her dad zipped by me before class on their e-bike and she would yell out "Hallo Aleeesa" as they whizzed by, but once she got to class she rarely paid attention. (A lot of kids lived in my neighborhood, so seeing them outside of class and hearing "Aleeesa" on the street always made my day.)
I will remember little Linda in my New Parade 1 class and how cute and smart she was, her smoker's laugh and how I teared up the day her mom smacked her arm so hard it echoed in the classroom, but she acted like it happens every day. And, it probably does.
I will remember Arthur in Sticker 7 and how he yelled "Bea Schwa La! (sp?) in class and I figured out it meant "Be Quiet!" It was one of the first Chinese phrases I learned, and I don't know if he was trying to be a teacher's pet or just couldn't stand the noise. I'll remember Mike's face from the same class on the last day when I handed him the $1 he had been begging for since our money unit. He beamed with joy.
I'll remember the girl in Interchange 0B who made my black and white bracelet. I'll remember my cute kindy classes and how fun they were and how much Eileen and I laughed during them. I'll remember Eric, Claire, Tyler and Tony. I'll remember Ali, Rolly, Mary, Charles, Mike, David 1, David 2, Vic, and Turbo, who I couldn't believe his name was Turbo until I got to know him. Now he's obviously Turbo. I'll remember Amy's Connect class and how much fun we had just sitting around the table and talking about KFC and English sayings. I'll remember Bob from the other 0B class who seriously knew English before he got there. I'll remember the other Rain from my Sticker 3 class who jumped up and down the entire class. Every day. He was so cute and just could not contain his energy. I'll remember poor Do Do from the same class, whose parents changed her name four times and settled on a word that means poop in English. I doubt they knew. The one regret I do have is not learning their names early on. By mid-semester I had maybe 1/3 of them down and was too embarrassed to ask again since so much time had passed. Next time (if there is one) I'll have a better naming system down.
Lastly, I'll remember my two Interchange 2B classes the most. They were my two favorite classes, and they were visibly dejected when they found out I wasn't teaching the next level. To me that's the ultimate compliment; they kicked ass and I always knew they would. They made everything else worth it, from laughing at me when Miki tried to teach me Chinese words to just being great listeners and fun learners. I will always remember my conversation with Fred in the lobby, his smile and how he loved to play Boggle. I'll remember the back row of my Saturday class and how the first half they barely said anything, but by the second half of the semester they were engaged in everything—we completely had a blast.
And, I'll remember Candy. I had to write down our last encounter, because she reminds me so much of me in so many ways. She's convinced her mom hates her, her parents are way too hard on her, and she's so bright. I left class that day with a blanket goodbye and we met eyes. Something told me not to go home and to wait outside. I did so, and Candy walked out unable to find her mother. After finding her she ran back to me with a somewhat embarrassed and longing look on her face. I just knew what was about to happen. She said, "It was so good to get to know you." I at this point am fighting back tears with all my might and said, "The same to you and good luck to you. Can I give you a hug?" I said, "E-mail me if you ever need anything and we will keep in touch." There's so much more I wish I could've/would've said in that moment, but I was so stunned that I could feel this strongly about one of my students. She said, "I hope you have a happy life." And with that, she was gone.
The next day more tears were held back when Mark asked me about high school in America, that he wants to test into studying there and he thanked me for everything I taught him. I would be thrilled to see him again. Such a bright student and a joy to be around. Sherry wasn't in our last class, so I asked Eric, her best friend in class, to send me a photo. I'm convinced that they hate each other and playfully smack each other around enough to marry one day. Eric handed me a note at the end of class and I decided to read it later for fear of crying again in front of all male 13-year-olds. In hindsight, I think they would've cried with me. Eric's note (along with Rain's note and Candy's interaction) were some of the most loveliest things I've ever received. A photo of the notes are attached to this blog. With words like those, how could I ever feel robbed? I feel like the most blessed person in the world.

USGS Geology in the Parks
Triassic plutonic rocks are widely scattered in regions mostly west and southwest of the EMNSA (Barth and others, 1991; Miller, 1978). In the Clark Mountain area, several small dioritic stocks intrude Paleozoic strata, and one of these bodies has yielded K-Ar hornblende ages of 190 and 200 Ma (Burchfiel and Davis, 1971; Mueller and others, 1979). However, preliminary U-Pb zircon ages for these bodies are Late Jurassic (J.D. Walker, 1993, oral commun.). Evidently, the hornblende contained excess argon, resulting in ages spuriously old. No Triassic U-Pb ages have been reported for plutons in the EMNSA, but few candidates have been dated by U-Pb. A dioritic orthogneiss unit in the Granite Mountains, assigned a probable Triassic age by Howard and others (1987), is now known to be Jurassic (Young and others, 1992). Small bodies of hornblende monzonite, commonly present between the Teutonia batholith and septa of Paleozoic marble in the western New York Mounains, is similar to Triassic monzonites known in the western Mojave Desert. This hornblende monzonite is younger than Paleozoic rocks and older than the Early Cretaceous Mid Hills Adamellite.
In most of the ranges of the EMNSA that contain latest Proterozoic and Paleozoic sequences (see previous section), these strata are conformably overlain by reddish sandstone, limestone, and shaley limestone, or their metamorphosed equivalents. These rocks are correlated with the Early to Middle Triassic Moenkopi Formation (Burchfiel and Davis, 1971, 1977; Walker, 1987). In the Providence Mountains, this unit is approximately 300 m thick and contains Early Triassic fossils. In many ranges, these rocks are metamorphosed to distinctive calc-silicate rock (Stone and others, 1983).
In the Mescal Range, a unit of sandstone, shale, and limestone stratigraphically above the Moenkopi Formation and below a Jurassic sandstone unit was correlated with the Late Triassic Chinle Formation by Hewett (1956). This correlation was questioned by Marzolf (1983), who considered several Jurassic units to lie directly on the Moenkopi. Possible Chinle-correlative rocks have not been reported elsewhere in the EMNSA.
Several ranges within the EMNSA contain volcanic and volcaniclastic rocks, intercalated sedimentary rocks, and related hypabyssal rocks of Triassic and (or) Jurassic age. Stratigraphic sequences, in varying degrees of preservation, are exposed in four areas: the Mescal Range, the Old Dad Mountain-Cow Hole Mountains-Soda Mountains area, the New York Mountains, and the Providence Mountains. In a few other areas, metamorphosed or hydrothermally altered Triassic and (or) Jurassic volcanic, hypabyssal, and sedimentary rocks are present as small pendants in Jurassic or Cretaceous plutons, or as slivers in fault zones. Among these small relicts, Jurassic rocks are probably more common than Triassic rocks. Owing to common metamorphism or alteration, and to lack of study, little is known about the petrology and geochemistry of Triassic and Jurassic volcanic rocks in the EMNSA.
A sequence of diverse volcanic and sedimentary rocks, more than 3 km thick, in Old Dad Mountain and the Cow Hole Mountains consists of interbedded intermediate to silicic lava flows and flow breccias, quartz arenite, sandstone and siltstone, sedimentary breccia and megabreccia, silicic ignimbrite, and other minor rock types (Busby-Spera, 1988; Busby-Spera and others, 1989; Marzolf, 1983; 1988; 1991). U-Pb zircon ages of some of the volcanic rocks indicate that this sequence is approximately 170 Ma, which is Middle Jurassic according to the geologic time scale of Harland and others (1989). A generally similar sequence of rocks is present in the Soda Mountains, near the west edge of the EMNSA (Grose, 1959).
The quartz arenite units in the Mescal Range, Old Dad Mountain, and the Cowhole Mountains are in part eolian. Until recently, these quartz arenites were generally correlated with the Early Jurassic (Peterson and Pipiringos, 1979) eolian Aztec Sandstone of the southern Great Basin and Navajo Sandstone of the Colorado Plateau. However, the U-Pb ages cited above indicate that the Jurassic quartz arenites in these ranges, and probably others in the EMNSA, may correlate with the Carmel Formation or the Entrada Sandstone of the Colorado Plateau. Poor age constraints for the Colorado Plateau units permit either correlation.
In the Providence Mountains, intermediate to silicic volcanic, volcaniclastic, and hypabyssal rocks, in part intensely altered, have been mapped by Miller and others (1985) and Goldfarb and others (1988). The hypabyssal rocks typically have granitic textures. These igneous rocks in part overlie the Moenkopi Formation, and are probably Triassic and (or) Jurassic in age (Walker, 1987). In some places, the volcanic rocks contain intercalated conglomerate and siltstone.
In the New York Mountains, a sequence of metamorphosed volcanic rocks approximately 250 m thick overlies the Moenkopi Formation, and is in turn overlain by a metasedimentary unit approximately 70 m thick (Burchfiel and Davis, 1977). The volcanic rocks are silicic in composition, include breccia or agglomerate, and contain subordinate intercalated metasiltstone and, near the base of the unit, metaconglomerate. The metasedimentary unit comprises siltstone, conglomerate, and tuffaceous sandstone and siltstone. The conglomerate beds contain clasts derived from the underlying volcanic unit. These two units could be either Triassic or Jurassic in age; the latter is perhaps more likely. The metavolcanic rocks are generally schistose or mylonitic; this fabric probably is largely inherited from original welded tuff textures. Metasedimentary lithologies range from argillite to schist. Both the volcanic and sedimentary units in the New York Mountains contain metamorphic biotite.
In the Mescal Range, a unit of crossbedded arenitic sandstone approximately 250 m thick contains dinosaur tracks, the only dinosaur tracks known in California (Reynolds, 1983). It is overlain by a sequence, approximately 200 m thick, of basaltic, dacitic, and rhyolitic flow breccias and lava flows (Hewett, 1956; Fleck and others, in press). These volcanic rocks have not been studied in detail, but are dated by K-Ar and Rb-Sr as Early Cretaceous, about 117 Ma (Fleck and others, in press), and therefore differ in age as well as composition from Jurassic volcanic sequences in other parts of the EMNSA.
Plutons known to be of Jurassic age or of Cretaceous age, based upon U-Pb geochronology, are common in the EMNSA (pl.1; fig. 4). Other plutons are definitely or almost certainly Mesozoic, but it is uncertain whether they are Jurassic or Cretaceous. The Jurassic and Cretaceous plutons and ranges in which they crop out within the EMNSA are too numerous to list or describe individually. Rather, the descriptions below focus upon typical or relatively well-studied plutons, and upon features of special interest.
Both the Jurassic and the Cretaceous plutons within the EMNSA are small parts of magmatic belts that extended through much of the southern Cordillera and are oblique to one another (Miller and Barton, 1990; Fox and Miller, 1990; Tosdal and others, 1990). The northeast margin of the composite magmatic belt lies wthin the EMNSA in the central parts of the Ivanpah and New York Mountains.
Known Jurassic plutons and Cretaceous plutons in the EMNSA region generally differ in petrology and geochemistry. Miller and others (1982), Miller and others (1985), Howard and others (1987), and Fox and Miller (1990) have summarized the characteristics of Jurassic and Cretaceous plutonic rocks in the Granite Mountains, southern Providence Mountains, and Colton Hills of the southern EMNSA. The Cretaceous granitoids are characterized by relatively low color index, white to buff or flesh-colored feldspars, and absence of clots of mafic minerals. In contrast, the Jurassic granitoids commonly are more heterogeneous, contain less quartz, more commonly are conspicuously sphene-bearing, are more potassic, have higher color index, contain lavender, grey, or pinkish alkali feldspar, and contain clots of mafic minerals. In some places, Jurassic plutons are associated with magnetite skarn deposits or zones of extensive albitization, neither of which is documented for Cretaceous plutons. For some Mesozoic plutons for which U-Pb ages have not been determined, a reasonable inference as to a Jurassic or a Cretaceous age can thus be made from the overall petrology or composition of the plutons. Such estimates are probably most applicable to granodiorite and granite compositions, and have a lower probability of being correct for dioritic or gabbroic rocks. In the report, we follow the IUGS classification scheme (Streckeisen and others, 1973) adopted for plutonic igneous rocks.
Geochronological data, much of it unpublished, for plutons in the EMNSA hint at multiple intrusive episodes for each of the Jurassic and Cretaceous groups of plutons. Many Jurassic plutons appear to be 160 to 165 Ma, but some plutons and dikes are as young as 150 to 145 Ma. Cretaceous plutons appear to belong to a late Early to early Late Cretaceous intrusive event, 90-100 Ma, and a late Late Cretaceous event, 70-75 Ma. General distingushing characteristics of Jurassic and Cretaceous plutons are maintained despite episodicity within the two groups.
Widespread emplacement of Jurassic plutons followed by approximately 50 m.y. the emplacement of scattered Triassic plutons in the Mojave Desert region (Tosdal and others, 1990; Anderson and others, 1991). The most thoroughly studied Jurassic plutonic rocks in the region of the EMNSA are those in the area of the southern Bristol Mountains, southern Providence Mountains, and Colton Hills (Miller and others, 1985; Fox and Miller, 1990); Granite Mountains (Young and others, 1992); and Clipper Mountains (Gerber and others, 1991). Three types of Jurassic plutonic rocks are common: mafic rocks, intermediate to silicic mixed or heterogeneous rocks, and leucocratic monzogranite (pl. 1). These plutons are difficult to date precisely, but appear to be largely160-165 Ma. Except in the Granite Mountains, where Late Jurassic diorite is known (Young and others, 1992), the mafic rocks are generally the oldest and the leucocratic rocks the youngest. Other plutons possibly in the 160-165 Ma age group are in the Old Dad Mountains and Devils Playground area.
Compositionally, the mafic rocks include fine- to coarse-grained gabbro, diorite, and monzodiorite; common mafic minerals include clinopyroxene, hornblende, and biotite. Generally, the mafic rocks have SiO2 contents of 49 to 55 percent; are subalkaline and metaluminous; and have relatively high abundances of large-ion lithophile elements (LILE), for example commonly as much as § 3 percent K2O and §1,000 ppm Ba. Young and others (1992) concluded from geochemical modeling that diorite evolved from parental magma that was derived from hydrous, REE-enriched subcontinental lithosphere and was contaminated by mafic granulite in the lower crust as it ascended to the upper crust.
The mixed intrusive rocks are by far the most abundant. They are markedly heterogeneous, ranging from fine-grained equigranular to coarsely porphyritic, and continuously from quartz monzodiorite to syenogranite and syenite. A number of phases or subgroups are present, typically bounded by gradational contacts. Chemically, the mixed intrusive rocks have a wide range of SiO2 contents: 50 to 74 percent; they are subalkaline to, less commonly, alkaline; and metaluminous to weakly peraluminous. Some rocks are potassic, with K2O/Na2O as great as 2. Ba abundances are as great as 2,000 to 4,000 ppm in some of the mafic and intermediate rocks.
The leucocratic monzogranite is the most homogeneous of the three rock types. Whereas other plutonic phases grade complexly into one another, the monzogranite generally cleanly cross-cuts as the youngest phase. In the Colton Hills, it comprises medium- to coarse-grained, porphyritic leucocratic biotite monzogranite, locally with minor muscovite. It is subalkaline and generally moderately peraluminous. Trace-element abundances are unremarkable.
Many of the Jurassic plutonic rocks in the EMNSA are strongly altered. In the southern Providence Mountains and the southern Bristol Mountains, the rocks have undergone widespread albitization, characterized by replacement of potassium feldspar by albite (Miller and others, 1985; Fox, 1989; Fox and Miller, 1990). Intense albitization is present as white zones in otherwise normally mesotype rocks. Less intense albitization produces mottled patches or spots. Chemically, albitization is characterized by doubling of Na2O content and nearly complete loss of K2O: typically K2O decreases from 6 percent to <1 percent. Accompanying changes in Fe, Mg, and Ca abundances depend on the extent of chloritization of mafic phases. Aluminum, Ti, Zr, Y, and REE are generally immobile on a hand-specimen scale during alteration. Alteration was probably mainly caused by repeated intrusion of magma into the shallow crust, creating large, long-lived hydrothermal systems.
Late Jurassic plutons in the EMNSA are known in the Granite and Ivanpah Mountains, but may be more widely present. Diorite in the Granite Mountains is ~155 Ma (Young and others, 1992). Other than its younger age, the diorite is similar to diorite in the Providence and Bristol Mountains. The Ivanpah Granite of Beckerman and others (1982) is 150 to 145 Ma (J.D. Walker, 1992, oral commun.). It consists of biotite monzogranite that is strongly porphyritic. The pluton is moderately peraluminous and potassic.
In the southern Providence Mountains, swarms of Middle to Late Jurassic intermediate to silicic dikes intrude Jurassic plutons (Miller and others, 1985). The dikes range from dacite porphyry to aphanitic rhyodacite to aplite. Similar intermediate dikes in the Colton Hills are intruded by Cretaceous plutons (Fox and Miller, 1990). Dikes in the Colton Hills have a minimum age of 146 Ma by K-Ar on biotite (D.M. Miller, 1984, unpubl. data). Similar dikes are known in a few other places within the EMNSA, such as the Cowhole Mountains. Possibly related swarms of Late Jurassic mafic or intermediate to silicic dikes are widespread in eastern California and southwestern Arizona (Chen and Moore, 1979; Hopson, 1988; Powell, 1981; Karish and others, 1987; Haxel and others, 1988; Tosdal and others, 1990). Some of the Jurassic dikes that crop out in the Providence Mountains were correlated by James (1989) with the approximately 150 Ma Independence dike swarm of eastern California. James (1989) suggested that the more than 500 km long dike swarm may be related to continental-scale arc-normal extension, changes in plate motions, or a combination of oblique subduction with left-lateral shear. The similar age of the Ivanpah Granite raises the possibility that plutons were also emplaced at the time of dike intrusion.
Most Cretaceous plutonic rocks of the EMNSA belong to the Early and Late Cretaceous Teutonia batholith (Beckerman and others, 1982). Beckerman and others (1982) considered the Teutonia batholith to be Jurassic and Cretaceous, based chiefly upon K-Ar cooling ages that provide minimum emplacement ages. They divided the batholith into seven plutons or units, with a large area of granitic rocks in the Halloran Hills area (DeWitt and others, 1984) undivided and undescribed (fig. 5). One pluton is Jurassic, the Ivanpah Granite (pl. 1). The other six plutons, which constitute most of the eastern batholith, are Cretaceous. Preliminary U-Pb zircon ages for major plutons of the batholith range from 93 to 100 Ma (determined by E. DeWitt, 1990). "Teutonia batholith" thus is hereby redefined to exclude the coincidentally spatially associated Jurassic Ivanpah Granite; this revised usage is followed in the summary below.
The six major plutons that constitute the eastern Teutonia batholith crop out chiefly in the New York Mountains, Mid Hills, and the Cima Dome-Wildcat Butte-Marl Mountains area (pl. 1). Five of the six plutons are fairly large, with exposed areas §50 to 200 km2. These plutons are intermediate to felsic in composition. The sixth, mafic pluton forms a subcircular outcrop area §2 km in diameter; correlative bodies are yet smaller. Similar mafic to felsic rock units have been discerned in the Halloran Hills area (E. DeWitt and H.G. Wilshire, 1992, oral commun.)
The five relatively large plutons of the Teutonia batholith principally range in composition from quartz monzodiorite to syenogranite, with granodiorite and monzogranite as the principal compositional types; monzodiorite is a minor phase of one pluton. Despite this compositional range, granite constitutes most of the exposed rock. Quartz-poor modal compositions (quartz monzodiorite, quartz monzonite, quartz syenite) are present only in the Rock Spring Monzodiorite of Beckerman and others (1982). Other rocks are medium- to coarse-grained; some plutons or facies within plutons are equigranular, whereas others have alkali feldspar phenocrysts. Biotite is ubiquitous; hornblende is common to absent; the Kessler Springs pluton locally contains a little primary muscovite. Three of the five plutons are leucocratic--Teutonia Adamellite, Mid Hills Adamellite, and Kessler Springs Adamellite of Beckerman and others (1982)--with color indices less than 5 .
The sixth, small pluton (Black Canyon Hornblende Gabbro of Beckerman and others (1982), unit Kbc, pl. 1) comprises compositionally and texturally variable hornblende-rich mesotype to melanocratic gabbro. Magnetite content is high: average is 6.5 volume percent. This pluton intrudes two of the larger granitic plutons. Probable correlative bodies include one in Cedar Canyon and another, not shown on the map, near Wildcat Butte on Cima Dome.
Chemically, the six plutons of the Teutonia batholith form a broadly calcalkaline series (Beckerman and others, 1982). The hornblende gabbro contains 43 to 49 percent SiO2; the other five plutons range from 68 to 77 percent SiO2. The granitoid plutons generally straddle the boundary between metaluminous and peraluminous compositions. Moderately or strongly peraluminous granites are absent. Abundances of Ba, Sr, and Rb (the only trace elements analyzed) are generally normal and unremarkable for granitic rocks.
Geobarometric data indicate that the Rock Spring Monzodiorite of Beckerman and others (1982) was emplaced at pressures of <1 to 3 kb (Anderson and others, 1988; 1991), corresponding to upper-crustal depths of approximately <3 to 10 km. According to J.L. Anderson, (oral commun., 1990) present exposures provide a tilted view of the batholith: the shallowest plutons, emplaced at pressures of approximately 0.5 kb, are on the north and the deepest plutons, emplaced at approximately 3 kb, are to the south. However, these pressure data conflict with geologic evidence that the roof of the batholith is exposed in the south (Goldfarb and others, 1988) as a shallowly south-dipping surface in the Providence and Marl Mountains; the south should therefore be the shallowest part of the batholith. The Teutonia batholith is among the shallowest of the Mesozoic plutonic complexes in the Mojave Desert region studied by Anderson and others (1988, 1991): pressure estimates for ten other complexes range from 2 to 9 kb.
Small, shallow-level stocks that lie northeast of the Teutonia batholith appear to represent outliers of the magmatic belt in earliest Late Cretaceous time. Magmatic alteration, intrusive breccia, and felsite dikes in the Colosseum mine area of the Clark Mountains (described in a later section) are about 100 Ma (Sharp, 1984). Similar alteration and breccia, as well as small hypabyssal bodies of biotite granodiorite, lie about 5 km northeast of the EMNSA in the New York Mountains, near Crescent Peak (Miller and Wooden, 1993). This granodiorite yielded a 94.4 ± 2.4 Ma K-Ar biotite date.
Latest Cretaceous plutons in the EMNSA range from 75 to 70 Ma (Howard and others, 1987; Fox and Miller, 1990, citing J.L. Wooden, oral commun., 1987). Known ~70-Ma Late Cretaceous plutons crop out in the Granite Mountains and at Homer Mountain; probable Late Cretaceous plutons crop out in the Fenner Hills and near Bobcat Hill. In the Granite Mountains, a suite of Cretaceous igneous rocks includes a granodiorite pluton, a zoned pluton, and granite, aplite and pegmatite dikes (Howard and others, 1987). The granodiorite pluton makes up most of the western Granite Mountains (pl. 1), and a larger zoned pluton makes up the southeastern part (Howard and others, 1987) and part of the adjacent Providence Mountains (Miller and others, 1985). Magmatic biotite from the zoned pluton yielded K-Ar dates, possibly emplacement ages, of 70.9 to 74.5 Ma (Miller and others, 1985; Howard and others, 1987). In general, latest Cretaceous plutonic rocks are silicic, slightly to strongly peraluminous granites.
Some Mesozoic deformational features of regional extent crop out in the western and north-central parts of the EMNSA. These deformational features are reflections of shortening shown by brittle-style thrust plates developed in the foreland of the Cordilleran thrust belt and ductile-style nappes in southeastern California and Arizona (Burchfiel and Davis, 1971, 1977, 1981; Howard and others, 1980; Snoke and Miller, 1988; Miller and Barton, 1990).
Generally east-directed thrust faults, present in the Cowhole Mountains and the Clark Mountain Range areas, may be Middle Triassic(?) through Early Jurassic (Burchfiel and Davis, 1981). In the Cowhole Mountains, metamorphosed Paleozoic rocks were interpreted as having been thrust eastward and then overlapped unconformably by the Lower Jurassic Aztec Sandstone. However, Busby-Spera (1988) and Busby-Spera and others (1989) presented evidence that the sandstone is Middle Jurassic and may overlie a normal, not thrust, fault. In the Clark Mountain Range, some east-directed thrust faults were cut by small dioritic plutons originally dated at 190 and 200 Ma by K-Ar (Burchfiel and Davis, 1981) but now known as Late Jurassic. Latest Early Cretaceous thrusting there placed Paleozoic strata over the Early Cretaceous Delfonte volcanic rocks. This thrust was then intruded by plutons of the mid-Cretaceous Teutonia batholith (Burchfiel and Davis, 1971, 1981; Fleck and others, in press). A similar sequence of faulting, although not as well constrained by dated rock bodies, holds in the New York Mountains.

I love a good subscription box. Nothing quite beats the idea of having a box of surprise goodies delivered to your door on a monthly basis, does it? One of my favourite subscription boxes and one I hear come up time and time again is Glossybox.
I was lucky enough to receive the May Glossybox this month, and I'm so excited to share with you what products came inside this month! The design of the May box has got to be my favourite I've seen, it's 'inspired by tranquil settings and is designed using a palette of soft, pastel hues. It's purposefully curated to help you to relax and dream about your aspirations for the future.' How cute is that?
Now onto the products…
True Soft Shampoo and Conditioner
The Maria Nila True Soft Shampoo and Conditioner Set sound amazing. True soft is based on argan oil, which moisturiseses and revitalises dry and brittle hair. I'm saving these two little mini's for my trip to Prague in a couple of weeks but I already know my hair is going to love them!
We are Tea Teabag
If you know me, you know I love my tea! I got an Earl Grey teabag from We Are Tea to give a try. Perfect for sipping on while I work towards those dreams!
Kueshi Makeup Remover
Another product I'm waiting to use when I head off to Prague is the Kueshi Double Effect Makeup Remover. Combining a gentle lotion with an oil-rich fluid, it claims to be a gentle eye makeup remover especially for long-lasting makeup, that leaves no greasy residue after using. Sounds right up my street!
Gelspa Just for Feet Luxury Jelly Soak
Now the product I'm most excited about is the Just for Feet Jelly Soak. The Soak helps to revive your feet, allowing you to concentrate on soothing them and ensuring they're in top shape. Who doesn't love a good pamper?! The sample I got has Lavender and Lemongrass scents for that extra relaxation. And let's be honest, who isn't excited by the concept of a jelly soak?!
Trifle eyeshadow palette in Praline
The last product I got was the Praline Eyeshadow palette. This is a super cute handy palette which I can see perfect for keeping in a handbag. For me, the first two shades – a sparkly purple and sparkly grey/silver aren't my usual picks, but the latter half of the palette is full of orange and browns, which are much more my style. On an initial swatch, the colours looked great so I look forward to creating some looks with this!
If you fancy your own Glossybox, you can get 15% off with the code 'LUCY15' at checkout, valid until the end of this month.

Great Bullets
Great bullets for the price!
Review by Alan (Posted on 12/2/2019)
Great bullet!
A buddy and I split 500 and we both had great success. We'll buy more.
Review by Tater (Posted on 9/19/2019)
Great bullet ! Shoot like a dream in service rifles.
Review by TacoFrank (Posted on 8/18/2019)
Find the right powder & velocity
An Update from my 11/16 review - I had tried 3 different powders trying to get better accuracy out of a 18" barreled AR-10. Tac, Varget, RE15 with no luck. Then I tried CFE223 @ the (hi)-Mid level on the chart. Bingo, rang Steel @ 3 - 600 yards. But pushing it too fast and accuracy went away again. Still had hits, but a larger pattern. This rifle does the same with 168 HPBT match. It has a sweet spot. Just a FYI
Review by Bob (Posted on 6/18/2019)
Very Good Results
After utilizing the Hornady OAL Length Gauge (with Hornady modified case) and the Hornady Bullet Comparator Body w/Insert to measure the Cartridge Base To Ogive (CBTO) in the chamber of my 300AAC Blk, and then reducing the CBTO by .02" - .025", I am getting very good results/groups with this projectile. The top of the case mouth is well below the bullet cannelure of the finished cartridge. I'm using Lee FCD for crimping.
The above is not instructional, but for general information only. You try this at your own risk.
Review by Sam (Posted on 4/9/2019)
no steel
Most indoor and some outdoor ranges do not allow steel. These have none. .3 between high and low.
Review by Offhand (Posted on 1/17/2019)
Nice bullet, not one box contained 500!
VERY disappointed that every box, purchased 4, was short. From 4 to around 12. Very poor quality control on packaging.
The bullets, on the other hand, are good quality. Ogive does vary which results in random oal's. Variation isn't significant enough to cause accuracy issues as the load I used is capable of moa accuracy at 100 yards. Would I buy them again? Yes, but I surely wouldn't expect to receive 500 as the packaging states, thus my 3 star rating.
Review by Michael (Posted on 7/28/2018)
Excellent product
Accurate bullet for my M1A. Packaging arrived in good condition, no spilled bullets. I will buy more, good price and timely delivery.
Review by Victor (Posted on 11/13/2017)
Appear to be great bullets.
They came in fine condition, no problems with box and bag. They look great, just what I was looking for. A working man's bullet for shooting and plinking in several rifles. Have not loaded any yet but plan to soon.

General dynamics 147g
Great inexpensive 300 blackout bullet, loads well, consistent size. Will buy more.
Review by Compuwhat (Posted on 7/3/2017)
308, 147
Great bullet but better yet these guys got there packing problems corrected, box in a box. Good job guys !!!
Review by Tab (Posted on 5/31/2017)
Good product good price
I had about given up finding a source for inexpensive range ammo for my home brew .300 Blackout 16in AR, when I found these. Just ran a test batch of 50 with a low load out to 300yd with decent groups even with the crappy optic I was using. Plan to get more, I was using .223 rifle for 3 gun but now I can make a switch to Blackout with out going broke. Very happy.
Review by Eric the Red (Posted on 5/24/2017)
Seems like a nice bullet, but won't shoot for me.
I purchased these bullets several months ago. I've been trying to work up an accurate load with different powders and have shot a lot of them in three different rifles. My latest groups were as big as ten inches at 200 yards, while my Nosler bullets gave me a two inch group with the same rifle. I'm sure they shoot well for some people, so I will sell them and let someone else have a try with them.
Review by krmcne (Posted on 3/30/2017)
Excellent multipurpose round.
I have placed two orders for General Dynamics 308 diameter bullets 147 grain full metal jacket boat tail, 500 bullets, 30 days apart. In the first order, the package arrived in pristine condition, with excellent packaging material to protect the internal plastic bag.
The second order arrived today, the box was damaged and open on the seams and had been re-taped several times. The internal plastic bag was burst at the seams, appeared to have been wrapped with a thin sheet of paper, and the bullets were scattered throughout the box. In my opinion, the quality of the shipping carton does not meet the standards for a 10 pound plus shipment.
I shoot an H&K G-3 clone. I reload a mix of military and civilian brass, with 40 grains of IMR 4007 or 40 grains of benchmark.
My experience with the 147 grain full metal jacket boat tail from General Dynamics has been excellent! (No misshapen projectiles, all weights within one grain.)
Review by Bob (Posted on 3/16/2017)
Great prices a good product.
Can't beat the price in these bullets. Pretty consistent. Great for plinking rounds.
Review by Andrew (Posted on 2/26/2017)
Great bullet for the money!
Use these for .300 Blkout, Garand and AR10, works great for everyday range shooting and will definitely be getting more!!!
Review by Craig (Posted on 2/23/2017)
Good bullet for the sale price.
Not a match grade produced bullet but a good deal for the price and within the specs for a military issued round. Great bullet for general reloading and shooting along with field testing of a rifle.
Review by 8point (Posted on 2/15/2017)
Good Value
I see some complaints about quality and accuracy , however I shoot these 147 grain FMJs in my M1A, with battle sights and group 1-1.5 inch groups at 100 yards. I use H4895 and IMR 3031 (my rifles favorite powder) and get consistent velocity and accuracy.
Learned to shoot in the USMC and I do not have any problems with from this product offered by Wideners from General Dynamics.
Review by HPDrifter (Posted on 2/11/2017)
Good Quality / Poor Packaging
I was not planning on writing a review, especially after so many others were written complaining about the same issue, but Wideners sent me a email asking for one, so here is the good and the bad of it all.
The quality of the projectile is very good and their sale price of $79 per bag of 500 is really inexpensive, and from the time I placed my order to when they were delivered to my front porch is S.E. Michigan was not even 2 full days.
The problem was that it was immediately obvious that the 8" square cardboard shipping box had suffered quite a trauma in it's trip to my home. The box had probably 20 feet of clear packing tape going all around the bottom and up one side where the box had split open, it was not even close to being square anymore.There were 3 bags of 500pc each in the box, all appeared to be split at their seams, all the bullets just laying loose in the bottom, just as if the box were dropped onto the floor a few times until the plastic bags popped open and poured their contents out of the damaged shipping container.
I am certainly not blaming Wideners for this, we all know how careless the shipping companies employees are, they don't care. But, I was prepared that this might happen since there were already so many complaints registered here. I knew I would have to accept the good with the bad.
Wideners can fix this with some of their own clear packing tape, a short piece on the seam of each bag, to prevent it from bursting, a strip of tape around the top, bottom and down each side to hold the box together.
Review by Paul (Posted on 2/6/2017)
seem to be quality bullets
have not loaded measured or weighed any of these bullets yet but they look to be quality bullets and the shipping was quick. off hand I'd say for the average garand or hk91 they would do nicely as plinking bullets because of the price, if you take the time to sort them properly you may even get some accuracy from them.
Review by george (Posted on 1/30/2017)
This stuff is great, seen pretty consistent!
Review by manuel (Posted on 1/15/2017)
Very good military style bullet for my M14.
These bullets are very consistent and even though I have not had a chance to shoot them, I feel that they will be quite accurate.
Review by Kenneth49 (Posted on 12/11/2016)
Good Value for Military Rifle Reloads
I loaded some ammunition for my 30-06 and .308 caliber M1 Garands with these projectiles and shot good groups. Accuracy is slightly better than with cartridges I loaded with the Hornady 150g FMJ. I use both IMR 4895 and H4895 powders for my Garand loads.
Once I go through the 2,500 I have on hand, I will definitely order more.
Review by Hang Fire (Posted on 12/1/2016)
Great buy.
Better than expected for bulk inexpensive bullets.. Sample weights within 1 grain of each other.
Review by Big Jer (Posted on 11/16/2016)
for my Field grade CMP Garand
Received these earlier than projected...that is always a plus! However like others bag in box was split open. Grouped well at 300 yards considering the field grade Garand and the shooter. All rounds fired in that string were within the kill areas (head and heart) 4 inch inch groups 4 en bloc clips loaded with GI brass and these bullets. Very satisfied!
Review by dick (Posted on 11/6/2016)
BEWARE! - Undersized up to .0005
Diameters were undersized up to .0005 resulting in 3+ MOA accuracy at 100yds from a precision rifle. Would not buy this product again.
Review by Jim (Posted on 10/31/2016)
Good quality bullets good price
Received 1000 bullets very good quality loaded with imr 4895 for my m1 and 03a in 30-06 will load tomorrow for my m1 in 308. Will order another 1000. good quality and price. Safe shooting
Review by West (Posted on 10/31/2016)
Nice bullets for the price!
Examined these bullets when I received them and they are extremely nice and consistent. Very good value for the money. Only drawback was the plastic bags that they ship in split open in the shipping box.
Review by SS (Posted on 10/30/2016)
Inconsistency of bullet length
Look great weight is consistent but length is not. Only measured 30 bullets and They vary from 28.92 - 29.37 thats .(.45 ) the Hornady bullets I used where only ( .21 ) difference out of 100 measured.
Review by John (Posted on 10/30/2016)
Gen. Dynamics bullets not impressive.
Two star quality, poor to average grouping, surpassed by other bullets you sell Disappointing. results, in my M- garands.
Review by hal (Posted on 10/27/2016)
Quality at a good price
Ordered 2 bags while on sale, great price -no problem with open bags in my box. Did some weight checks & all were @ 148 + or - a few 10ths on a cheap electronic scale- very consistent, better than some brand names I've bought locally.
If I'd had time to load and shoot -or count- i would add or subtract a Star. But these aren't for hunting or long range precision, -So - 5 stars for quality & price.
Review by Bob (Posted on 10/11/2016)
Great Price and a great bullet Im very Happy with these
I bought these because of the price thinking that ifs they weren't so good it would not matter. I was surprised how good these were.. great groupings and easy to reload new cartridges with these.. Overall major score here. They look amazing too. All my 300 blackout buddies want me to make ammo for them now because of how much cheaper it is to roll your own .300 blackout than to buy it.
Thanks Wideners you Rock!
Review by kmart1967 (Posted on 10/9/2016)
Saving money
Keeping my 300blackout bullet cost down, these 147 gr bullets do just that. Will be reordering very soon.
Review by CG57 (Posted on 10/5/2016)
Just as described
Ordered these for my 300 blackout loads and I love them best I have found for the money
Review by Dustin (Posted on 9/28/2016)
Great service!!
I received bullets within 2 days of ordering. I opened the box and found the bullets in an open bag with some packing so naturally my first concern was are they all here. I counted the billets and not only did I get the 500 I ordered but there were four extra bullets. Thanks Wideners for the fast and great service!!
Review by Tallahassee (Posted on 9/26/2016)
Rolling along.
These bullets are nice for range time, and I like getting them at a good price. I wasn't so lucky about the tape holding my bullets in the box. Bullets fell out at the UPS Store, in my car, probably all the way back to Wideners.
Review by GFarmer13 (Posted on 9/21/2016)
shipped fast and good price. will buy again
Review by kevin (Posted on 9/12/2016)
bullets for the 300 blackout!
Very nice bullets for the 3 gun world! Loaded in the 300 blackout and they work and chamber perfectly without going broke! Will definitely buy more! Wideners served me well and got items to me quickly!!!
Review by John (Posted on 9/4/2016)
Great Value
Loaded these into some 7.62 Lake City brass pushed by a conservative amount of IMR-4064. I had some great results with my Browning BLR and Ruger All-American. It's sure a lot nicer practicing with these than sending more expensive hunting bullets down range. This was my first purchase from Widener's - it will not be my last. Thanks
Review by Buzz (Posted on 8/29/2016)
308 range amm
I use these for 308 range ammo. Load nice accurate. Close enough to use 149 grain recipes.

These bullets worked well for me as I reload 308 and 300 AAC. They are exceptional in both calibers. Thanks Widners.
Review by Dan (Posted on 8/8/2016)

Wideners has come through for me again. Great quality and great price. The box was packed well and arrived fast. You won't find a better online company to deal with.

Very good bullet at a great price.
Good bullet for the money, used them in 30/06 and 308 M1 and M1A.
Review by BC 71 (Posted on 7/18/2016)
Cost Effective
This bullet loads easily and is consistent regarding COL. Price is good. No signs of over pressure, primers were CCI Small Rifle fired from a registered SBR with a 7.5 inch barrel and a Sup Arms gas Piston Operating System.
Review by Titan (Posted on 7/6/2016)
Great budget bullet for 308 and 300 blk
Average weight of 100 bullet is 146.7
I used in both 300blk and 308 win and it worked extremely well. Average group (1 in 12 ar10 20" barrel that shoot 168gr Sierra match king .25 moa) is about 1 moa which not bad at all.
It is not the match bullet quality however no other bullet can beat this price.
Review by John (Posted on 7/3/2016)
Good Value.
Average 148.2 gr. Dimensionally consistent in Dia and length. Shoot great in my M1 Garand. Weidner's could improve on their packaging quite a lot. The bag was ripped open and everything was rolling around loose in the box. Good thing the tape held.
Review by AL (Posted on 6/29/2016)
These bullets all weigh within 1/2 grain from each other and are perfectly concentric . Another big + is the jacket is copper not copper plated steel. The quality is great and I will be ordering more.
Review by Buck (Posted on 6/24/2016)
Cannelure looks to be in the right place
I am not that far from Widener's in north Alabama. Still, I pulled the trigger on a thousand of these from an email ad on Thursday night, received a shipping notice via FEDEX on Friday, and they were delivered to my house at 8 p.m. on Saturday. I did not really need that much attention but it impresses me. I have not "miked", weighed, or used any of these. I trust the other reviews. They do look to be of the highest quality. I do want to add this, and I would appreciate verification from someone who has loaded these; the cannelure appears to be in the right place when compared to the Hdy bullets I have been using. The cannelure on the Hdy was too high for standard 7.62x51 OAL to feed a hungry FN FAL. They worked, but these should be spot on.

Versatile Bullet!
Great looking bullets and I got them on sale so I bought 1,000. Should shoot great in my M1 Garand and M1A...thanks Wideners!!!!

Great for the price
Good bullets, load great and shoot great. Actually measured 148 grains and loaded them with 150 grain data with good results

MAIL CALL! Bullets have arrived!
I'm really starting to love Wideners, or is it Videners? Anyway, my order of 500 147 grain General Dynamic FMJ-BT bullets just arrived.
After weighing a hand full, most are in the high 147 to low 148 grain range, which is fine. I'm primarily loading them for sonic and subsonic training rounds.

300 Blackout - Worked Great
Bought 1500 of these to load in my MCP 300 Blackout.
Works flawlessly with 16.5gr of H110 and reformed Lake City brass. (Always start at the lowest load per the book and work your way up.)
The bullets at are .308, not .309-.312. No swagging needed.
Well worth it for 30 cal bullets.

!47 grain for 300 Blackout
I haven't loaded any of these yet, but they appear to be awesome for the money. They look just like the Hornady 150 grain I gave been using but a lot cheaper. Now, if General Dynamics offer would offer some inexpensive 125 grain and 208 grain I would be happy.

They are perfect to keep in mags for home defense or for plinking. If you want better quality pay more money for higher end.
Review by Tony (Posted on 10/15/2018)
Bullets are great in my Krag, 03A3, and M1 with proper powder and load.
I bought these to trial shoot in all of my 30 caliber rifles and have found with various powders used for each type of firearm they have worked well out to 200 yds. On the bench I am getting .5 MOA with my Krag at 100 yds and 1 - 1.5 MOA at 200 yds.
Review by Dr Tom (Posted on 7/12/2017)
Nice bullets 300 Black out
I bought 2000 for my 300 blackout. They're great for getting out to the range, shooting and staying familiar with your rifle without high cost. I've used 250 to 350 so far ( I shot my 150s first). Loading stays within cannelure with one setting. Very accurate out to 100 yds for my needs. They'd also be good for home defense. They are not for hunting.

Exactly what I was looking for. Slight variation in lengths, but that make little difference for what I'm loading for and powder I'm using. Package arrived intact, and fast. I'm very satisfied with these and will probably buy more.
Review by Dominic (Posted on 5/2/2017)
Looks like new pennies.
I can't gripe about quality, for the price I paid I won't say a word. They look great, and if they load as good and shoot as good as they look what's to gripe about. You want long range, and tack driving quality, order the more expensive brands and long range bullets. Just saying, you get what you pay for and I've never been shafted by Wideners before.
Review by Bill (Posted on 4/5/2017)
You get what you pay for.
As others have mentioned, these bullets pretty much all weigh the same (for me it was 147.5 grains) but that the lengths vary somewhat. For me I had about 60 percent of them measure 1.12, 25 percent at 1.13 inches 10 percent at 1.11 and 5 percent at 1.10. There were 3 bullets lower than 1.10 out of a box of 500. 2 were 1.09 and one was 1.08. I expect groups will improve since these have been selected by length and weight, but math ammo this isn't. Took me about an hour to sort out the projectiles, so for me it was worth it. Just make sure your expectations are in check if you decide on purchasing this ammo.
Review by Macubus (Posted on 3/11/2017)
Extremely disappointed
OAL's all over the place 1.108 to 1.135 in the sample of ten I checked. Terrible packaging, arrived with hole in box and bullets missing. Do yourself a favor and buy another brand.

Good quality but different lengths
Nice bullets consistent weights around 148 but my lengths were all over the place. I was still able to load and stay within my OAL but if you buy these make sure you check twice.
Review by Hoze928 (Posted on 1/5/2017)
Bullet length.
First time buying this brand. Bullit weight average 148. But when starting to reload I was getting different depths in seating? Started to measure bullet length, they ranged from 1.098 to 1.154 nothing consistent. Some of them had normal ball tips and some had tips sharp as throwing darts. Think I will stick with the general dynamics brand. Less of a headache seating them.

I started reloading 147's for my 300 blk some time ago and they were awesome. I found the right load and of all the weights Ive tried the 147 did the best for the price. And then they disappeared. So hard to get. 150's weren't the same. thankfully you guys have them in quantity and Im back to reloading. You can't go wrong with these 147's.

Excellent bullet for 300 BLK
This bullet is match grade AND will expand down to around 1500 fps. I tested them. Hornady says 1600 fps. Sub-MOA groups are the norm. They are devastating on game, even large hogs. They punch way out of their weight class.
Review by Just some guy (Posted on 11/26/2019)
Quality control is good, uniform bullets and weights.
These require a fairly high Velocity to function as desired, once these velocities are achieved they function well. They are accurate enough for a hunting round. I wouldn't suggest these if you're looking to shoot in any type of competition. Grouping half to three quarter of an inch at 50 Yards.

155gr SMK rocks in .300 BLK!
I have been shooting .300 BLK for many years ... it is my "GO TO" caliber! One day I decided to do some more reloading for it and ran across an old box of 155gr SMK's on the shelf so I decided to try them out. Am I glad I did!!! Very comfortable to shoot and Sub-moa groups (even suppressed) right off the bat! The 155gr SMK is now my "GO TO" bullet for my "GO TO" rifle! SUPERB!!!!!!!

Few things feel so satisfying as hunting with your own handload -- that your shot reflects not only your skill with a rifle but also your savvy at a reloading bench makes bagging a trophy that much more rewarding. Give your handload the precision performance it needs to demonstrate your all-around proficiency with Hornady's ELD-X projectile!
This .308" diameter bullet boasts an exceptionally high ballistic coefficient. Its Heat Shield tip will keep its meplat keen and evenly shaped no matter the velocity it achieves, as the polymer it is made from is immune to the effects of aerodynamic heating. Its accuracy is additionally bolstered by its low drag secant ogive profile, tapered base, and nearly perfectly concentric AMP jacket. The ELD-X's flat trajectory will enable you to tag a distant buck like it's standing right next to you.
The ELD-X is an all-distance hunting solution. At low velocity impact its tip reliably initiates wide expansion that is made all the more devastating with up to 90 percent weight retention. Even at closer distances the bullet's InterLock ring ensures its jacket and core stay together to provide some mushrooming accompanied by the retention of as little as half of its weight. It's perfect for hunting when you can't reliably predict how your quarry is going to behave, which is practically always.

These 168-grain Sierra MatchKing bullets are extremely accurate and reliable. The hollow point tip ensures consistent performance upon impact, while the boat tail increases straight trajectories at a greater distance. These bullets are often used for varmint hunting, but Sierra insists their best use is at the target range and in competitions. In either case, you'll get reliable performance that should help contribute to a head-ache and hassle free shooting experience. With this box, you'll get 500 bullets for reloading a wide variety of cases that accept .308" projectiles.
Sierra has some of the finest reloading supplies and accessories available. They have options for both rifle and handgun cases, and even provide reliable information like manuals and videos. This Missouri company has been serving gun owners since 1947.

Want to load one of the most technologically advanced soft point projectiles that the market has to offer? Then you couldn't do much better than this 150 grain .308" diameter Fusion bullet by Federal! True to its name, this bullet's copper jacket has been electrochemically fused one molecule at a time to its pressure formed lead core. As the result core/jacket separation during penetration becomes an essentially moot issue, so the Fusion retains its weight in order to penetrate very deeply.
The Fusion's evenly layered jacket works hand in hand with its boat tail to give the bullet exceptional accuracy. After following a flat trajectory on its course to its target, the Fusion's soft point will initiate massive expansion that's guided by the skives in its tip, making its wound channel wide in addition to deep. It's a bullet wholly deserving of your science, and one which you'll want to welcome back to your reloading bench time and time again!

While the .308 is one of the top rounds in the country for medium game hunting, these bullets are especially effective for competition. You'll get 500 reloading bullets that are accurate, even downrange, thanks to a boat tail design, which tucks in the back corner of the bullet to increase wind resistance and deliver longer shots before dropping. The hollow point on this bullet adds predicable expansion with consistent penetration.
The .308 is an effective choice for target shooting and hunting. It has been used to pursue a wide variety of game, including medium-sized animals like whitetail deer, black bear, and pronghorn.
Sierra has been serving gun owners since 1947, providing a large variety of cartridges for both rifles and handguns. They have top-quality ammo that is used for hunting, target shooting, and competition. The company is based out of Sedalia, Missouri and also provides resources like reloading manuals and videos.

Hornady's A-TIP Match projectile represents the culmination of decades of research and testing by one of America's preeminent ammunition experts. Your handloads deserve no less than so superlative a tack driver!
This 250 grain bullet has an exceptionally long aluminum tip which improves its center of gravity and its rotational stability, and further markedly reduces the amount of drag it can generate in flight. This bullet's Advanced Manufacturing Process jacket is concentric on a microscopic level, which even more greatly enhances its stability. Each A-TIP Match's ogive, boat tail base angulature, and bearing surface is optimized specifically for its caliber. So great is its ballistic coefficient that it forgives deviations in factors such as twist rate and muzzle velocity.
In an effort to standardize these bullets as greatly as possible, Hornady packages them sequentially in the order that they leave the press. They have been handled as little as possible, and indeed have not even been bulk washed. Hornady recommends their A-TIP™ seating stem to best seat these accurate bullets in their casings.

Any hobby done well deserves the best equipment. If you tie flies you want pristine feathers, if you train dogs you want smart dogs, and if you handload you want Hornady bullets. This .308" diameter 230 grain bullet is going to let you make surgically accurate 308 Win or 300 AAC Blackout cartridges, because it is an A-TIP Match.
The A-TIP Match features a long aluminum tip, which at once optimizes its center of gravity while enhancing its stability in flight. The low drag it incurs makes it perfect for grouping shots tighter than a duck's backside. The A-TIP Match's ballistically efficient ogive and flawless boat tail complement its tip exceptionally well!
Ever the sticklers for consistency, the pros at Hornady package these bullets as they're produced sequentially, so as to minimize any minute differences from one another that they might have. These bullets have been handled as little as possible prior to their packaging, to an extent that they aren't even washed after they're finished. You use the included polishing bag to get them ready for their new homes in brass casings.

Woe is me
This is an ear... a normal, healthy ear. This is not my ear.
As a household we've been struck with the creeping crud for the past two weeks. Symptoms Include: Coughing, 'snots,' sneezing, low-grade fever, fatigue, and general ickiness.
Thankfully, it's mostly over now... except the junk in my chest. I still gurgle a bit. Fun.
The thing that's really got me down? My ear. Like I said, this is not my ear. My ear is now infected. I've never experienced an ear infection... an outer ear infection. It's all the fun of having a wisdom tooth extracted, but without the good drugs. I can't hear. I can't chew. I can't touch my ear.
The up-side? It's a great for weight loss! If you can't eat... or if chewing causing extreme pain, you develop a natural immunity to hunger pains and an aversion to food in general. I dropped 5 lbs in 3 days... but started to get pretty cranky. Last night I made an emergency trip to the local grocery (small town store) and filled a basket with "no chew" foods. Things that will slide right down.
Although it's a bright and cheerful store, selections are limited. I ended up with instant mashed potatoes. Another first! You got it, I've never eaten instant potatoes. They're not nearly as bad as I thought they might be... but, unless I need to eat paste, I'll stick to making my own. Other fun items? Cream of Wheat, Cream of Chicken Soup, V-8 Juice, and Ice Cream.
I made it to a whopping 800 calories today! Whooo hoooo!!
I can't wait till I can chew again.

Groovy vs Objective-C: What are the differences?
Developers describe Groovy as "A dynamic language for the Java platform". Groovy builds upon the strengths of Java but has additional power features inspired by languages like Python, Ruby and Smalltalk. It makes modern programming features available to Java developers with almost-zero learning curve. On the other hand, Objective-C is detailed as "The primary programming language you use when writing software for OS X and iOS". Objective-C is a superset of the C programming language and provides object-oriented capabilities and a dynamic runtime. Objective-C inherits the syntax, primitive types, and flow control statements of C and adds syntax for defining classes and methods. It also adds language-level support for object graph management and object literals while providing dynamic typing and binding, deferring many responsibilities until runtime.
Groovy and Objective-C can be primarily classified as "Languages" tools.
"Java platform" is the primary reason why developers consider Groovy over the competitors, whereas "Ios" was stated as the key factor in picking Objective-C.
Groovy is an open source tool with 1.49K GitHub stars and 414 GitHub forks. Here's a link to Groovy's open source repository on GitHub.
Uber Technologies, Instagram, and Pinterest are some of the popular companies that use Objective-C, whereas Groovy is used by Starbucks, Cask, and PedidosYa. Objective-C has a broader approval, being mentioned in 851 company stacks & 363 developers stacks; compared to Groovy, which is listed in 79 company stacks and 73 developer stacks.

By mid-2015, around the time of the Series E, the Digital department at WeWork had grown to more than 40 people to support the company's growing product needs.
By then, they'd migrated the main website off of WordPress to Ruby on Rails, and a combination React, Angular, and jQuery, though there were efforts to move entirely to React for the front-end.
The backend was structured around a microservices architecture built partially in Node.js, along with a combination of Ruby, Python, Bash, and Go. Swift/Objective-C and Java powered the mobile apps.
These technologies power the listings on the website, as well as various internal tools, like community manager dashboards as well as RFID hardware for access management.
At the heart of Uber's mobile app development are four primary apps: Android rider, Android driver, iOS rider, and iOS driver. Android developers build in Java, iOS in Objective C and Swift. Engineers across both platforms land code into a monolithic code base that ships each week.
They use some third-party libraries, but often build their own, since "Many open source libraries available are general-purpose, which can create binary bloat. For mobile engineering, every kilobyte matters."
On Android, the build system is Gradle. For the UI, Butter Knife binds views and callbacks to fields and methods via annotation processing, and Picasso provides image loading.
As for iOS, all of the code lives in a monorepo built with Buck. For crash detection, KSCrash reports crashes to the internal reporting framework.
Excerpts from how we developed (and subsequently open sourced) Uber's cross-platform mobile architecture framework, RIBs , going from Objective-C to Swift in the process for iOS: https://github.com/uber/RIBs
Uber's new application architecture (RIBs) extensively uses protocols to keep its various components decoupled and testable. We used this architecture for the first time in our new rider application and moved our primary language from Objective-C to Swift. Since Swift is a very static language, unit testing became problematic. Dynamic languages have good frameworks to build test mocks, stubs, or stand-ins by dynamically creating or modifying existing concrete classes.
Needless to say, we were not very excited about the additional complexity of manually writing and maintaining mock implementations for each of our thousands of protocols.
The information required to generate mock classes already exists in the Swift protocol. For Uber's use case, we set out to create tooling that would let engineers automatically generate test mocks for any protocol they wanted by simply annotating them.
The iOS codebase for our rider application alone incorporates around 1,500 of these generated mocks. Without our code generation tool, all of these would have to be written and maintained by hand, which would have made testing much more time-intensive. Auto-generated mocks have contributed a lot to the unit test coverage that we have today.
We built these code generation tools ourselves for a number of reasons, including that there weren't many open source tools available at the time we started our effort. Today, there are some great open source tools to generate resource accessors, like SwiftGen. And Sourcery can help you with generic code generation needs:

Some may wonder why did we choose Grails ? Really good question :) We spent quite some time to evaluate what framework to go with and the battle was between Play Scala and Grails ( Groovy ). We have enough experience with both and, to be honest, I absolutely in love with Scala; however, the tipping point for us was the potential speed of development. Grails allows much faster development pace than Play , and as of right now this is the most important parameter. We might convert later though. Also, worth mentioning, by default Grails comes with Gradle as a build tool, so why change?
Basically, the trajectory was we had our iOS app, which started out native, right? It started as a native app, and then we realized you have to go through a review process and it's slow, and at a very early stage, it made sense for us to make it a wrapped web view. Basically, the app would open, and it would be a web view inside of it that we could iterate on quickly and change very rapidly and not have to wait for app store view process to change it. It wasn't totally a native experience, but it was as actually a pretty good experience and lasted for a very long time and was up until recently the foundation of our current mobile web experience, which is different from our app situation. So for a long time, basically, our app store iOS Instacart app was a wrapped web view of just our store, a condensed version of our store, which meant that we could add things. We could change sales. We could change the formatting. We could change the UI really fast and not have to worry about the app store review process.
This all changed about a year ago, I would like to say, at which point it became a totally native app. We felt comfortable enough with the product and all the features that we made it a native experience and made it a fully featured app.
While the majority of our stack is now using Swift, we still love Objective-C in many cases, especially low-level software manipulation, where it's just easier. It doesn't hurt that a lot of iOS/OS X Libraries out there are written in it either.
We like to go native with iOS development, and Objective-C has been the only game in town until recent introduction of Swift. We're keeping an eye on Swift, but we aren't giving up on the [old way:to do:things]!
PrometheanTV provides SDKs for IOS devices including support for the Objective-C language.

What the?! Another Nintendo controller peripheral? This recently published US Patent and Trademark Office filing would certainly convince one to believe so! That is, until one looked at the date of the patent application submission, which dates back to 2005. Sure, the patent was published on June 28 of this year, but it references foreign application data that predates the official unveiling of the Wii Remote prototype.
While it may look like a snazzy Wavebird-style controller shell, what we think we're seeing is merely the original patent for the Wii Classic Controller. That device thankfully dropped the need for multiple controller shells — others in the style of SNES and NES pads are also in the patent — and kept the Wii Remote tethered to the controller by a cord, not slotted in as seen above.
Feel free to poke around the patent, linked below, for drawings of Wii controller patents that you can color and make your own!
