Vegan Spinach Quiche Recipe (with Brown Basmati Crust)
Vegan Spinach Quiche with Brown Basmati Crust by ShopCookMake
This is the most delicious Quiche I've ever tasted! It can be made a million different ways. It's also very healthy because it doesn't have any eggs or animal products, that means zero cholesterol and only good fats.
The texture is very creamy but firm, it will hold it's shape. You can definitely turn it into mini-quiches. this recipe serves 4 or 5 people, depending in how hungry they are.
Step 1Ingredients
– 10 ounces Extra Firm Silken Tofu
-2 tbsp Soy Milk
-2 tbsp Nutritional Yeast (optional)
-2 tsp Corn Starch
-1 tsp Onion Powder
-1/8 tsp Turmeric
-1/8 tsp Cumin
-Salt and Pepper to taste
For the Vegetables:
-1.5 cups Brocoli
-3 cups Fresh Spinach (or 3/4 cup frozen)
-2 cloves Garlic
-1/4 cup Green Pepper (or any color you like)
-1/4 cup Onion
-1/2 cup Diced Fresh Tomato
For the Crust:
-3/4 cup Brown Basmati rice
After the rice is done, it will have a firm texture and it'll be moist, that's what we're looking for. It'll be crispier after it comes out of the oven. If you didn't before, add some salt and pepper. You can also add 2 tbsp of the filling to make the crust creamier instead of crunchy.
Press the rice into the baking dish to form a crust. See the picture below.
Then in a pan with a little oil, cook the vegetables together, except for the spinach. If you don't want to add extra fat, just cook with 3tbsp water, which is what I did. When all the veggies are cooked add the spinach and mix well. After you have incorporated the Quiche filling that was prepared before and the veggies in a bowl, pour it over the rice crust.
Bake it for 35-45 minutes and let it rest for at least 15 minutes before cutting.
It couldn't be easier.

This is an R01 grant application for five years of funding to apply novel advanced image analysis techniques and introducing technology that would improve the targeting in CT guided interventions. CT is currently in the United States the most common imaging modality used to guide biopsy and tumor ablation. The majority of liver tumors such as hepatocellular carcinomas are visible on contrast-enhanced CT or MRI obtained prior to the procedure. Yet, these tumors may not be seen or may have poor margin conspicuity on unenhanced CT images acquired during the procedure. This may increase the procedure time, and/or lead to non-diagnostic cytopathologic assessment, requiring repeat biopsy or sub-optimal ablation applicator placement.
We aim to enhance the current information available to the interventional radiologist, by registering the high-resolution pre-procedural images with low quality intra-procedural images. Anatomical details (including the tumor margin) visible on the pre-procedural images will be superimposed on the intra- procedural images. The precise position of ablation applicator and biopsy needle would be thus estimated with respect to the real contour of the tumor as appearing on the pre-procedural scan. Non-rigid registration is demonstrated as a technology to achieve alignment of images with good accuracy, even in the presence of organ motion. However, up to date it has not been used for fusing pre- and intra- procedural data during CT guided interventions in a clinical suite, since it requires significant computational infrastructure and often these methods are not sufficient robust. We have developed a new non-rigid registration method based on biomechanical model, validated in a prospective study in the area of image-guide neurosurgery. Recently, this new technique is also validated on retrospective data from RFA patients. Pre-procedural MRI and unenhanced intra-procedural CT images are aligned within 5 minutes, with 2mm accuracy. This proposal aims to demonstrate the feasibility of this technology in an interventional radiology suite during image-guided abdominal interventions, without impact on the medical decision. Our predictions for biopsy and ablation will be compared with the histological findings and ablated area on post- procedural MRI. Both mathematical methods and visual inspection by two independent radiologists of results will be employed in assessing the results. The success will be determined by the accuracy, robustness, execution time of the non-rigid registration algorithms. This proposal will benefit public health by developing and assessing key technologies to enable enhanced navigation during the image guided biopsy and ablation. The capacity to visualize the tumor and tumor margin throughout the procedure will better enable the interventional radiologists to achieve better diagnosis, and coagulation necrosis for the entire tumor mass, without unexpected site effects.
This work will lead to new technologies for precise targeting in CT guided interventions. These technologies will facilitate better diagnosis and treatment of liver neoplasms, by enabling the interventional radiologists to more accurately place (i) the biopsy needle and (ii) the ablation applicator, and so, they can (i) improve the specificity in detecting even small tumors and (ii) achieve complete tumor ablation with less risk of removing healthy liver tissue located adjacent to the tumor.

2016 - Zircon formation - Chemostratigraphy
Differentiated impact melt sheets may be a potential source of Hadean detrital zircon
Gavin G. Kenny, Martin J. Whitehouse and Balz S. Kamber
Author Affiliations Department of Geology, School of Natural Sciences, Trinity College Dublin, Dublin 2, Ireland Department of Geosciences, Swedish Museum of Natural History, 104 05 Stockholm, Sweden
Constraining the origin and history of very ancient detrital zircons has unique potential for furthering our knowledge of Earth's very early crust and Hadean geodynamics. Previous applications of the Ti-in-zircon thermometer to >4 Ga zircons have identified a population with reltively low crystalliztion temperatures of ~685 °C. This could possibly indicate wet minimum-melting conditions producing granitic melts, implying very different Hadean terrestrial geology from that of other rocky planets. Here we report the first comprehensive ion microprobe study of zircons from a transect through the differentiated Sudbury impact melt sheet (Ontario, Canada). The new zircon Ti results and corresponding Tzirxtln fully overlap with those of the Hadean zircon population. Previous studies that measured Ti in impact melt sheet zircons did not find this wide range because they analyzed samples only from a restricted portion of the melt sheet and because they used laser ablation analyses that can overestimate true Ti content. It is important to note that internal differentiation of the impact melt is likely a prerequisite for the observed low Tzirxtln in zircons from the most evolved rocks. On Earth, melt sheet differentiation is strongest in subaqueous impact basins. Thus, not all Hadean detrital zircon with low Ti necessarily formed during melting at plate boundaries, but at least some could also have crystallized in melt sheets caused by intense meteorite bombardment of the early, hydrosphere-covered protocrust.
Article: In the summer of 2014, with the support of the Irish Research Council (IRC) and Science Foundation Ireland (SFI), the team collected thousands of zircons from the Sudbury impact crater, Ontario, Canada - the best preserved large impact crater on Earth and the planet's second oldest confirmed crater at almost two billion years old.
After analysing these crystals at the Swedish Museum of Natural History in Stockholm, they discovered that the crystal compositions were indistinguishable from the ancient set.
Chemostratigraphy of the Sudbury impact basin fill: Volatile metal loss and post-impact evolution of a submarine impact basin
Edel M. O'Sullivana, Robbie Goodhuea, Doreen E. Amesb,Balz S. Kambera
Abstract The 1.85 Ga Sudbury structure provides a unique opportunity to study the sequence of events that occurred within a hydrothermally active subaqueous impact crater during the late stages of an impact and in its aftermath. Here we provide the first comprehensive chemostratigraphic study for the lower crater fill, represented by the ca. 1.4 km thick Onaping Formation. Carefully hand-picked ash-sized matrix of 81 samples was analysed for major elements, full trace elements and C isotopes. In most general terms, the composition of the clast-free matrix resembles that of the underlying melt sheet. However, many elements show interesting chemostratigraphies. The high field strength element evolution clearly indicates that the crater rim remained intact during the deposition of the entire Onaping Formation, collapsing only at the transition to the overlying Onwatin Formation. An interesting feature is that several volatile metals (e.g., Pb, Sb) are depleted by >90% in the lower Onaping Formation, suggesting that the impact resulted in a net loss of at least some volatile species, supporting the idea of "impact erosion," whereby volatile elements were vaporised and lost to space during impact. Reduced C contents in the lower Onaping Formation are low (<0.1 wt%) but increase to 0.5–1 wt% up stratigraphy, where δ13C becomes constant at −31‰, indicating a biogenic origin. Elevated Y/Ho and U/Th require that the ash interacted with saline water, most likely seawater. Redox-sensitive trace metal chemostratigraphies (e.g., V and Mo) suggest that the basin was anoxic and possibly euxinic and became inhabited by plankton, whose rain-down led to a reservoir effect in certain elements (e.g., Mo). This lasted until the crater rim was breached, the influx of fresh seawater promoting renewed productivity. If the Sudbury basin is used as an analogue for the Hadean and Eoarchaean Earth, our findings suggest that hydrothermal systems, capable of producing volcanogenic massive sulphides, could develop within the rims of large to giant impact structures. These hydrothermal systems did not require mid-ocean ridges and implicitly, the operation of plate tectonics. Regardless of hydrothermal input, enclosed submarine impact basins also provided diverse isolated environments (potential future oases) for the establishment of life.
Sudbury Post Impact:
Stage 1: Slumping of initial crater rim created a multi-rim structure containing an impact melt pool. Backwash of tsunami-like waves triggered by the impact washed over the sides of the crater, interacting explosively with the melt sheet. Fragmented melt cooled and solidified to form the Sandcherry Member.
Stage 2: The Sandcherry Member covered the cooling melt sheet, as vents continued to feed melt to the surface of the fill. Water filled the crater during a catastrophic collapse of the Sandcherry Member and lower Dowling Member, with which the melt continued to interact, forming the contact and lower units of the Dowling Member. Activity diminished over time, leading to a decrease in vitric shard size up section. Argillitic muds were deposited in the outer reaches of the structure, and transported by debris flows to the lower Dowling Member as the crater rim began to erode. Life began to colonise the surface waters, eventually causing anoxia in the deeper water column. Organic matter settled through the water column, scavenging many particle-reactive elements including Mo, V, Cr, and Co, causing a reservoir effect.
Stage 3: (A) Continued volcanism constructed the Middle and Upper Dowling Member. The final breach of the crater rim at the NE and SW apices allowed seawater to surge over the rim, replenishing the water column with transition metals and sulphate. Hydrothermal deposition was temporarily re-established, forming the Vermilion Formation VMS deposits. (B) Volcanism eventually ceased, and communication with the open ocean allowed the transport of sediment into the basin, constructing the Onwatin Formation.
Comet craters - literal melting pots for life on Earth
Representative samples across the basin fill were analysed for their chemistry and for carbon isotopes, and they revealed an interesting sequence of events.
The first thing that became evident was that the crater was filled with seawater at an early stage, and remained sub-marine throughout deposition. Importantly, the water in the basin was isolated from the open ocean for long enough to deposit more than 1.5 km of volcanic rock and sediment.
The lower fill is made up of rocks that formed when the water entered the crater whose floor was covered by hot impact melt. Fuel-coolant reactions deposited volcanic rocks and promoted hydrothermal activity. Above these deposits, reduced carbon starts to appear within the basin fill and the volcanic products become more basaltic.
Previously the puzzling presence of carbon in these rocks was explained by washing in from outside the crater basin. However, the new data show that it was microbial life within the crater basin that was responsible for the build-up of carbon and also for the depletion in vital nutrients, such as sulphate.
"There is clear evidence for exhaustion of molybdenum in the water column, and this strongly indicates a closed environment, shut off from the surrounding ocean," added Edel O'Sullivan.
Only after the crater walls eventually collapsed did the study show replenishment of nutrients from the surrounding sea. These sub-marine, isolated impact basins, which experienced basaltic volcanism and were equipped with their own hydrothermal systems, thus present a new pathway to synthesis and concentration of the stepping stones to life.

Discovery of distal ejecta from the 1850 Ma Sudbury impact event
William D. Addison, Gregory R. Brumpton, Daniela A. Vallini, Neal J. McNaughton, Don W. Davis, Stephen A. Kissin, Philip W. Fralick, Anne L. Hammond GEOLOGY, March 2005
ABSTRACT A 25–70-cm-thick, laterally correlative layer near the contact between the Paleoproterozoic sedimentary Gunflint Iron Formation and overlying Rove Formation and between the Biwabik Iron Formation and overlying Virginia Formation, western Lake Superior region, contains shocked quartz and feldspar grains found within accretionary lapilli, accreted grain clusters, and spherule masses, demonstrating that the layer contains hypervelocity impact ejecta. Zircon geochronologic data from tuffaceous horizons bracketing the layer reveal that it formed between ca. 1878 Ma and 1836 Ma. The Sudbury impact event, which occurred 650–875 km to the east at 1850 ± 1 Ma, is therefore the likely ejecta source, making these the oldest ejecta linked to a specific impact. Shock features, particularly planar deformation features, are remarkably well preserved in localized zones within the ejecta, whereas in other zones, mineral replacement, primarily carbonate, has significantly altered or destroyed ejecta features.

Introduction: The Sudbury Structure has been interpreted to be a 200-260 km diameter impact crater that formed at about 1.85 Ga. The 60 by 27 km Sudbury Igneous Complex (SIC) is the deformed and eroded remnant of the original impact melt sheet. Sudbury Breccia (SB) is an ubiquitous rock type found exterior to the SIC.
SUDBURY DISTAL EJECTA (fallout from the Sudbury impact)
The Sudbury impact produced a red hot rain of glowing glass and shattered melted rock, that fell on the Thunder Bay area 1.85 billion years ago. It formed a layer over a metre thick of this hot debris. The last debris to fall was fine dust, and it took as long as a year to fall, scattering a dusty film right around the world. Some evidence of this has been discovered in the Thunder Bay area. The breccia is sandwiched between Gunflint Iron Formation and sedimentary strata of the Rove Formation. (Addison et al 2005 & 2010).
The Gunflint chert (1.88 Ga[1]): is a sequence of banded iron formation rocks that are exposed in the Gunflint Range of northern Minnesota and northwestern Ontario along the north shore of Lake Superior. The black layers in the sequence contain microfossils that are 1.9 to 2.3 billion years in age.
The Rove Formation: is located in the upper northeastern part of Cook County, Minnesota, United States, and extends into Ontario, Canada. It is the youngest of the many Animikie layers, a layer of sedimentary rocks. Before the Rove sediments were laid down, during the Archean Eon, the Algoman orogeny added landmass along a border from South Dakota to the Lake Huron region; this boundary is the Great Lakes tectonic zone. Several million years later a thin layer of hypervelocity impact ejecta from the Sudbury impact event was deposited on the older, underlying, Gunflint Iron Formation, and the Rove was then deposited on top of the ejecta; it is estimated that at ground zero the earthquake generated by the meteor impact would have registered 10.2 on the Richter scale. During the Middle Precambrian a shallow inland sea covered much of the Lake Superior region and formed the Animikie Group, layers of sedimentary rocks overlying 2700-million-year-old Archean rocks. The Rove Formation is the youngest of the many Animikie layers.
The complex products of impact range from angular fragments of preexisting rocks and partially melted, recrystallized, or glassy fragments, to spherules that condense from vapor in the ejecta cloud (much like hail stones form in rain clouds). The shock wave produced by impact transports ejecta away from the site of impact at velocities of miles per second. On Earth the shock wave would produce giant tsunamis. The force of the currents on the bottom of shallow ocean basins would disrupt the layering and other features of sediments accumulating on the sea floor and probably even some of the sea floor itself. The layer of sediment that would accumulate after the tsunami had passed would be a very complex mixture of disrupted sediments and the ejecta material. Oxidation and hydration would further alter impact ejecta. At Hillcrest Park in Thunder Bay is a ten to twenty foot-thick layer over the Gunflint Iron Formation that fits the now accepted criteria for impact ejecta transported and deposited in a tsunami surge. This exposure had been described and dismissed by earlier geologists as a "chaotic mess" at the top of the Gunflint Iron Formation (Weiblen 2007).
These images of the Sudbury Impact Distal Ejecta were taken by the author at Hillcrest Park, Thunder Bay Ontario - 2013.
Comment by Roland Dechesne, geologist and fellow RASC member about the Hillcrest deposits: "The lapilli were poorly preserved and could have, potentially, been any number of things. However, features were present, and given the regional context, it's probable that what (we) saw was them (Sudbury Distal Ejecta). Interestingly, they were in a coarse sandstone that had discontinuous thin blebs of cherty quartz that gave me the impression of being fiamme. If Earth impacts can create frothy pumice-like clasts, then all would be very consistent".
Lapilli: a size classification term for tephra, which is material that falls out of the air during a volcanic eruption or during some meteorite impacts.
Fiamme: lens-shapes, usually millimetres to centimetres in size, seen on surfaces of some volcanic rocks.
On the track of the elusive Sudbury impact: geochemical evidence for a chondrite or comet bolide
Joseph A. Petrus, Doreen E. Ames andBalz S. Kamber Article first published online: 8 DEC 2014
Abstract Siderophile and lithophile trace element data for 69 samples from the Sudbury impact crater fill (Onaping Formation) and quartz diorite offset dikes help constrain the sources of the established moderately elevated platinum group element signature associated with the impact structure. The siderophile element distribution of the crater fill requires contributions from bulk continental crust, mafic rocks and a chondritic component. A mantle component is absent, but the involvement of mid to lower crust is implied. After considering post-impact hydrothermal alteration, melt heterogeneity and mafic target admixture, the projectile elemental ratios were determined on a more robust data subset. Chondrite discrimination diagrams of these ratios identify an ordinary or enstatite chondrite as the most probable source of meteoritic material in the Sudbury crater fill. However, the relative and absolute siderophile element distributions within the impact structure as well as bolide size models are congruent with the bolide being a comet that had a chondritic refractory component.
Differentiated Impact Melt Sheet
Ann M. Therriaut, Richard A F Grieve ARTICLE in ECONOMIC GEOLOGY 97(7):1521-1540 · OCTOBER 2002
Abstract The Sudbury structure, Ontario, is the remnant of a 1.85 Ga old impact crater, which originally had a diameter of 200 to 250 km. The Sudbury Igneous Complex occurs within the Sudbury structure. The Sudbury Igneous Complex is a 2.5- to 3.0-km-thick, similar to60- X 27-km elliptical igneous-rock body, which consists of four major lithologies (from top to bottom) traditionally termed "granophyre," "quartz gabbro," "norite," and "contact sublayer" (sulfide- and inclusion-bearing noritic rock). with the exception of the latter, all these lithologies are continuous across the structure. Modal analyses reveal that, following the IUGS system of nomenclature, quartz gabbro samples are in fact quartz monzogabbros, a few of the norite samples are quartz gabbros, and most norite samples are quartz monzogabbros. In view of these observations, and in order to clarify the nomenclature, an updated terminology is proposed (from top to bottom): upper unit, middle unit, lower unit, and contact sublayer. The bulk composition of the Sudbury Igneous Complex, from North Range data, is granodioritic. Continuous and gradational mineralogical and geochemical variations between the lithological units are evidence that the Complex behaved as a single melt system. All the Sudbury Igneous Complex lithologies have the same light to heavy rare earth element (REE) ratio and an overall pattern of increased light REE and depleted heavy REE. The occurrence of primary hydrous minerals (homblende and biotite), deuteric alteration, and abundant micrographic and granophyric intergrowths demonstrate that the melt was rich in H2O Moreover, the granophyric and other far-from-equilibrium textures are most likely due to rapid crystallization triggered by exsolution of a volatile phase. The Sudbury Igneous Complex differs from traditional layered mafic complexes in the following aspects. It has an overall intermediate composition, a hydrous nature, a crustal isotopic signature, normative corundum, and an unusually large volume of granophyre. The Sudbury Complex differs from known terrestrial impact melt sheets only by its great thickness and the presence of chemical, and therefore, mineralogical layering. Reported here for the first time, and similar to those found in impact melt rocks elsewhere, are the occurrences of plagioclase xenocrysts with complex twinning and zoning patterns and planar deformation features in quartz xenocrysts. The well-known ore deposits of the Sudbury region are directly related to the genesis of the Sudbury Igneous Complex. Some ores precipitated from the Sudbury melt, whereas others were concentrated by hydrothermal fluids that percolated through the crystallized complex. It is concluded that the Sudbury Igneous Complex is the best exposed and only well-documented, to date, terrestrial impact melt sheet to have differentiated.

The Sudbury structure shows that large volumes of subsurface magma can be generated by impact. The Sudbury structure is a large (D ~200 km, 1850 Ma), deformed and eroded impact crater, whose central region was occupied by melt. An eight-year multidisciplinary study by Stoffler et al. (1994) concluded that the impact excavated deep into the crust, almost to the mantle (~30 km), before collapse and rebound. The present eccentric shape is due to subsequent tectonism. The melt (> ~12,000 km3), possibly superheated, formed by impact melting of crust within just a few minutes. The magma differentiated by gravity settling of crystals and immiscible sulfides to produce hundreds of metres of noritic cumulates (norite is a type of gabbro). Early formed pyroxene and sulfides were swept into basal depressions to form mineralised norite, overlain by slowly cooled igneous-textured rocks with differentiated compositions (Stoffler et al, 1994).
There is no record of volcanism at Sudbury but it may have been spectacular. The high temperatures implied by coexisting immiscible melts and mafic magmas are comparable to those of many large igneous intrusions, representing the mid- to upper-crustal reservoirs feeding surface volcanism. At Sudbury, the presence of pseudotachylites (veins of shock-induced glassy rock), contact zone breccias and an array of peripheral shock features is well established. Any mantle melt component is thought to have been small, but could have been delivered almost instantly via crust-spanning dykes with rapid post-crater closure (Price 2001).
Rapid closure of fractures may explain the absence of feeders in impact-induced melt bodies such as Sudbury. The Sudbury nickel deposits are crudely concentrated around the margins of the impact cavity and form the largest nickel mining district ever mined. The source of the nickel could be the impactor in terms of mass balance, although isotope data suggest a crustal source for the accompanying sulphur. In other impact craters, there is evidence for associated downwards and outwards injection of magma, forming dykes, breccias, and pseudotachylites, and for the establishment of vigorous hydrothermal systems. The Sudbury rootless impact melt, the likelihood of superheat, and the formation of immiscible sulphides are valuable lessons for mainstream igneous petrology and global ore prospecting. (Adrian P. Jones 2005)
The controversy over the origin of the Sudbury Structure and the Sudbury Igneous Complex was ongoing before the beginning of mining in the area. My father was involved in the mining industry before the onset of WWII and he always thought that the structure was somehow involved with volcanic activity. I remember being in high school when my science teacher mentioned that he had recently read a paper hypothesizing that the Sudbury Structure may be the result of a meteorite impact. Also that it had happened long before any life had evolved to survive on land (evolution was not allowed to be taught in Ontario schools at that time!). I found this idea fascinating and I think that this was probably where my interest in meteorite craters originated.
The magnitude of scientific information describing the Sudbury Structure over the years has amplified my desire to fully explore this crater and others. This project was one of my lifelong dreams realized and I am still amazed at the magnitude of the "event" that created this structure.
General Area: Sudbury lies close to the junction of three major structural provinces of the Canadian Shield. The area has been glaciated and is generally timbered, with agriculture occurring within the Sudbury structure. The target rocks are crystalline.
The Sudbury Structure comprises a 200-250 km multi ring impact basin formed at 1.85 Ga. The core of the structure is elliptical, 60 x 30 km, containing a layered 2.5 km thick impact melt sheet, referred to as the Sudbury Igneous Complex (SIC). The SIC was formed by differentiation of the impact melt pool at the probable main contact point of the impactor.
I want to thank Frank Brunton and James E. Mungall for their assistance and allowing me to quote from their published papers (listed at the end of this article).
This is Frank Brunton beside my chariot, C-GOZM immediately after our aerial exploration of the crater. Note the F18 in the right background. The Sudbury airport is on the east rim of the SIC and directly over the South Range Shear Zone.
Formation of the original crater
The Sudbury Structure is situated within a unique Geotectonic setting in northeastern Ontario, being sandwiched between:
- the Archean-age (>2.5 billion-year-old) Superior Geologic or Structural Province, situated to west and north of the structure, and;
- the Proterozoic-age (>1.9 billion-year-old) Southern Geologic or Structural Province Huronian Supergroup, deformed by the (1.9 billion –year-old) Penokean orogeny , and situated to west, south and east of the Sudbury Structure.
The boundary of the Proterozoic-age (~1 billion-year-old) Grenville Geologic Province presently lies approximately 10 km to southeast of the SIC. The Grenville orogeny occurred 800 million years after the Sudbury Crater was formed. The SW-NE trend of the Grenville Front Structural Zone, which delineates the northernmost margin of the Grenville Structural Province, is roughly parallel to the long-axis of the SIC.
Segments of the Crater
The Sudbury Structure is interpreted to represent the tectonized and deeply eroded remnant of a multi-ring or peak-ring impact basin (Stoffler et al). Approximately 4 km of erosion over the eons has obliterated the crater rim. Tectonism has possibly deformed the original crater into an ellipse. The subsequent metamorphism in the structure is tied to tectonic activity such as collision of continents and folding and thrusting up of crustal rocks. A zone of deformation (shatter cones and rock metamorphism) has been documented to 74 km from the SIC.
The Sudbury Igneous Complex (SIC)
Thick sheets of melted rocks line the bottom of many large meteor craters. Some of these impact melts are derived from the release of kinetic energy at impactor contact that is converted to heat. Also, rocks lying kilometers deep within Earth are often on the verge of melting but are prevented from doing so by the immense pressure from the weight of the material lying above them. A large impactor would blast away this weight, releasing the pressure on the buried rocks and causing the underlying minerals to melt.
The impact melts may not fully cool for hundreds of thousands of years. In the meantime, water from the environment and the heat from the newly exposed rocks can combine to form hydrothermal systems in the heavily fractured rocks in and around the crater. Scientists believe such warm mineral-rich venues could have played a role in the early development of life on Earth. (Science News: 3/9/02, p. 147) Evidence of the hydrothermal systems is documented in my ground tour.
The SIC is this type of large melt sheet produced from crustal melting resulting from a cosmic impact. The target rocks, which remained within the crater after the impact, ponded to form a sub horizontal sheet of magma and differentiated as it cooled. It is currently exposed as an elliptical 60 x 30 km, 2.5 km thick remnant of the original impact melt sheet and consists, from bottom to top, of inclusion-rich, in places ore-bearing, quartz diorite sub layer, norite, quartz gabbro, and granophyre layers, and, within the target rocks surrounding the SIC, the quartz dioritic offset dikes.
Lake Wanapitei Meteorite Crater is visible adjacent to the distorted east edge of the SIC oval. Quantitative evidence stating that the deformation of the SIC in this area was caused by the Wanapitei impact has not been documented to date (2004). The close proximity of these two impact structures is strictly coincidence. The Wanapitei crater occurred over 1.8 billion years after the Sudbury impact. (Image courtesy of Earth Impact Database, 2003). (see: Side Note below)
The Whitewater Group
The SIC is overlain by the 1.8 km thick Onaping Formation. It consists of impact melt breccia, suevite and reworked suevite from:
- Fall-back (collapse of the original crater) and Fall-out (impact debris) forming a 2 km post impact sediment over the SIC melt rock; and,
- Wash-in – post impact sediment (the impact happened in a shallow sea).
The rock fragments in the breccias of the Onaping Formation are from the impact target Archean and Proterozoic rocks of the Superior and Huronian Provinces of the Canadian Shield (Brunton).
The Onaping Formation is covered by 600 metres of argillites and minor exhalative carbonates and cherts of the Onwatin formation. This formation occurred during a period of quiescence after the impact basin formation.
The end of this quiet period was signaled by the abrupt appearance of the 850 metre-thick siliciclastic turbidites (sedimentary deposits settled out of muddy water carrying particles of widely varying grade size caused by turbidity currents) of the Chelmsford Formation (Rousell, 1972, 1984), which have been interpreted as a flysch apron deposited in the foredeep ahead of an advancing late Penokean mountain front (Young et al. 2001).
Aerial Exploration
The next series of images will document my aerial exploration the crater, first from the north outside of the SIC, and gradually working across the structure to the south. Most of my images were from approximately 2000 feet above the ground.
The 200-m-thick impact melts found within the Sudbury Crater are a treasure trove of minerals. More than $1 billion of metal ores including those bearing nickel, platinum, and copper are mined from the melts each year. Isotopic analyses show that the metals come from Earth's crust, not from the meteorite that fell from space. Before the impact melt solidified, the deep, thick blend of light silicates and dense metal ores—which didn't mix well with each other—separated into two layers, according to density, just like oil and vinegar do. This ancient segregation makes mining today much easier (Brunton).
The hydrothermal system created by the Sudbury impact also dissolved minerals containing copper and other metals from a broad area and then concentrated them in rich veins. (Richard Grieve, Natural Resources Canada in Ottawa)
Ground Exploration
Surrounding Brecciated Footwall Rocks
The pulverized and melted country rock injected into the pink gneisses has similar chemistry to the derived gneisses (RIGHT). The greenish rock is secondary alteration of clays and micas from existing minerals within the rock. The brecciated zones fall along structures inferred as super faults or fault-controlled structures. The crustal rocks underlying the crater would have experienced substantial fracturing from the impact and the shear concentration of the billions of tonnes of the metal-rich rock that subsequently formed could have easily have created more fracturing while sinking down deep into the crust. (F. Brunton – private correspondence with the author)
Most of the SB dikes dip vertically or steeply and apparently have no obvious preferred orientation with respect to the present shape of the Sudbury Structure.
Characteristics of the Sudbury Breccia:
- concentrated within 5 km of the SIC;
- formed by dynamic means during very rapid deformation. (e.g., post impact friction-induced melting during the extensive and very rapid deformation and brecciation of the footwall rocks);
- a two component rock consisting of a fine-grained to aphanitic matrix surrounding inclusions of host-rocks and minerals;
- comprised of mineral and rock fragments derived predominantly from wall rocks, set within a typically dark, microcrystalline to fine grained matrix, generated by grinding and frictional melting; and
- mostly associated with the 2.5 billion year old Matachewan dykes. In the immediate area of the shattered bedrock are samples of the Matachewan dykes.
Ten pseudotachylyte samples from the North Range of the 1850 Ma Sudbury impact structure have been analyzed by the 40Ar/39Ar laser spot fusion method. Field and petrological evidence indicate that the pseudotachylytes were formed at 1850 Ma by comminution and frictional melting due to impact-induced faulting. The cryptocrystalline to microcrystalline grain size (<30 μm) of the pseudotachylyte matrices and the predominance of orthoclase as the main K-bearing phase, have rendered the rocks particularly susceptible to Ar loss. The age determinations range from ∼1850 to ∼1000 Ma, with some samples yielding multiple ages that cannot be correlated with known geological events in the area. However, if the finite-difference algorithm of Wheeler (1996) is used to calculate combined Ar loss and the accumulation of radiogenic Ar for the K-bearing phases, it is possible to reproduce the range of observed ages. The model infers that the long-term volume diffusion of Ar has occurred and that, as a result, the Ar system cannot be treated with a conventional closure temperature approach. The algorithm requires burial of the impact structure to 5–6 km depth and 160–180 °C at 1850 Ma, followed by exhumation at ∼1000 Ma. These ages may be equated with two events: Penokean thin-skinned overthrusting in the North Range, immediately following impact, and exhumation ∼850 Ma later, coincident with the Grenville orogeny to the southeast. The results suggest that, contrary to previously accepted paradigms, the North Range has been affected by a protracted period of postimpact, low-grade thermal metamorphism. If these events also involved tectonic shortening within the North Range (as has been documented for the South Range), then the original size of the Sudbury impact structure has been underestimated.(Spray et al, Feb 2010)
Another terrestrial example of this type of breccia is found in the Vredefort meteorite crater in South Africa.
Sudbury Igneous Complex (SIC)
Whitewater Group
Onaping Formation
Further into the structure is the Whitewater Group, a 1400 m thick section consisting of fall-back of the original country rocks that has been hydrothermally altered. Ground water had seeped into faults caused by the impact, the water boiled creating hot springs through the Whitewater Group.
The impact probably occurred in a shallow sea as there is evidence of water flow-back in the top layers of the Whitewater Group. The quantity of "breccia fall-back" specifies that the fall-back segment of the impact lasted a substantial amount of time (perhaps hours) before the appearance of the returning tsunami.
The size of the Sudbury structure implies that the hydrothermal venting continued for thousands of years after the impact. The rocks of the Whitewater Group comprise (oldest-to-youngest): initially glass-rich breccias of the Onaping Formation, carbonates and argillites of the Vermilion and Onwatin formations, and arkosic sandstones and wackes of the Chelmsford Formation (Brunton).
Bucky balls (soccer-ball-shaped molecules of 60 carbon atoms) possibly of extraterrestrial origin and with traces of helium and argon gas trapped inside were found in this breccia.
Chelmsford Formation
The controversy over the origin of the Sudbury Structure and the Sudbury Igneous Complex was ongoing before the beginning of mining in the area. My father was involved in the mining industry before the onset of WWII and he always thought that the structure was somehow involved with volcanic activity. I remember being in high school when my science teacher mentioned that he had recently read a paper hypothesizing that the Sudbury Structure may be the result of a meteorite impact. Also that it had happened long before any life had evolved to survive on land (evolution was not allowed to be taught in Ontario schools at that time!). I found this idea fascinating and I think that this was probably where my interest in meteorite craters originated.
The magnitude of scientific information describing the Sudbury Structure over the years has amplified my desire to fully explore this crater and others. This project was one of my lifelong dreams realized and I am still amazed at the magnitude of the "event" that created this structure.
-from Naldrett 2009:
There is widespread acceptance that:
1. The Sudbury structure is the consequence of extraterrestrial impact.
2. The crater had an original diameter, after the collapse of the initial transient crater, of in excess of 200 km.
3. The SIC is predominantly an impact melt. The granophyre probably separated from a more mafic magma at an early stage and was augmented by incorporation of the products of melting of the overlying Onaping Formation.
4. The Onaping Formation represents a combination of a basal surge deposit, fall-back breccia (suevite) and suevite that has been reworked in an aqueous environment.
5. The offsets are the result of the early emplacement of impact melt along fractures resulting from impact and subsequent crater readjustment.
6. Sulphide immiscibility occurred during cooling of the SIC, probably before much of the SIC had reached its liquidus temperature.
7. The sulphides settled into embayments in the impact crater wall and were injected into earlyemplaced melt occupying the offset fractures.
8. Continuous segregation of sulphide led to a depletion of chalcophile metals within the remaining impact melt.
9. The ores fractionated as they cooled, giving rise to a Cu-, Pt-, Pd- and Au-enriched residual liquid which moved into the footwall, exploiting impact breccia and zones of pseudotachylite-like "Sudbury Breccia".
Some significant questions remain unanswered. These include:
1. The Sudbury structure lacks the central uplift that characterises all known impact craters of equivalent size. It is possible that the documented north-northwest thrusting of the South Range over the North Range has resulted in a central uplift being covered by the allocthonous rocks, but there is no evidence to support this.
2. The fractional crystallisation exhibited by the felsic norites and quartz gabbro of the SIC has not been documented in melt sheets of other impact craters that are apparently of equivalent size to the Sudbury structure.
3. The concentrations of Ni and Cu that appear to have been present in the initial impact melt exceed those to be expected in a melt of average Archean-Proterozoic crust. The Ni and Cu may have come from a mafic/ultramafic Paleoproterozoic intrusion that existed in the target area, but definitive evidence of this is lacking.
Side Note
|Wanapitei impact structures is strictly coincidence. The Sudbury impact happened over 1.8 billion years before the one at Wanapitei. In another coincidence, relatively nearby in northern Quebec's Canadian Shield, is another double impact site, the Clearwater East and Clearwater West impact structures. The Clearwater impacts, shown in this image, are related only by their geological position, recent dating puts the Clearwater East at ~460–470 Ma and Clearwater West impact at 286.2 ± 2.2 (2.6) Ma.

And that means a possible cure for depression, but it could also mean foolproof brainwashing. Advertisement Over at Wired, Quinn Norton has just published a series of articles that take you on an in-depth tour of the nascent science of neuroengineering. You and I can just call it "brain hacking," because that's what it is. The scientists that Norton interviews are literally rewiring mouse brains and sticking devices into them that instigate new behaviors. (See video.) They've mastered the technique of causing neurons in mouse brains to fire when they want them to, which means they can literally make a mouse decide to turn to the left just by hitting a button.How do they do it? By using viruses to insert two foreign genes into the mouse brain: one that causes neurons to fire when exposed to blue light, and one that causes neurons to go silent when exposed to yellow light. These new genes integrate themselves seamlessly into the mouse neurons, essentially adding a light switch to neural impulses. As Norton explains: Advertisement Then there's the matter of getting the right colors of light past the skull and into the precise spot to be controlled. All of this means Deisseroth's team has to open up the mouse's head surgically, apply the virus to the desired area, then feed in a fiber optic cable that will continue to protrude out of the mouse's head after the surgery has healed up. Then they attach the fiber optic cable to lasers that can pump in the precise frequencies of light needed to control the cells. Once it's done, though, they have absolute control over the section of the brain involved. Fed into the left motor cortex, the area that controls movement, it could make someone dance to the right. Fed into the pleasure center of the brain, it could make someone happy with the press of a button.It's hard to tell if a mouse is happy, but attaching this system to its motor cortex makes a dramatic demo. Deisseroth, who is still developing this technology at Stanford, plays the video of a mouse wandering around its container. The fiber optic cable leading into its brain is barely visible until someone turns on the blue light. Then the animal runs to the left in large, almost perfectly circular loops. "You've got to wonder what he's is thinking," Deisseroth muses. "It's 'I gotta go left, I gotta go left.'"Read more about this at Wired.Imagine what will come next, when these devices get less crude and are wired into people's pleasure and reward systems. That's exactly what Norton asks in a follow-up article on dialing up happiness.Reply39 repliesLeave a reply

Special Training
1. Gospel-centered Preaching
2. Training for Trainers (T4T)
Pre-Conference Electives

Why CPI?
Why I spent many hours today and yesterday trying to get folks to CPI conference.
I was calling and writing missionaries, Japanese pastors and dendoshi, and seminary students in our circles. I found 100,000 yen in our team and field budget to help seminary students attend.
I did that because I really believe there will be no better church planting and church development training for those we work with. They will be encouraged in the gospel. They have great stimulation from the messages, discussions, networking, and training tracks. Today and yesterday these hours calling and writing were some of the most strategic ministry hours I can spend. And, the money spent on people going some of the most strategic use of funds that we have.
So, for God's glory and for the sake of lost Japan, who can you invite/ help fund TODAY?
Your partner in the gospel for the sake of lost Japan,
Dan Iverson
CPI More Important Than Ever
Feeling tired? A bit overwhelmed? Feeling under resourced? Thinking that in the midst of relief work happening in Tohoku that the CPI National Conference is less relevant to your ministry this year? We want you to know that every member of the CPI leadership team since 3.11 has been heavily involved in Tohoku in disaster response ministry. We are wrestling too with what ministry means in the "NEW NORMAL." We debated cancelling the conference, but felt it was way too important this year to cancel.
At a time when many overseas are praying for Japan we want to come together and allow God to touch us and encourage us and send us out as people ready to see a NEW WAVE OF CHURCH PLANTING INITIATIVES across Japan.
We also want you to know that we have RESOURCES there for missionaries, Japanese pastors and lay people interested in church planting multiplication. We have speakers and trainers from the Japanese context to bless us. This year we will be introducing a totally new interactive format. This will better allow us to pursue God's will for us and Japan.
Along with the normal training is community worship, children's and youth ministry programs and a resource area. We also have our consultation center that might help us all plan to stay healthy in ministry or get help when we are struggling.

Just returned from our 2nd season deer hunt in NW colorado GMU 3 & 301 with no success.... Saw a lot of elk sign which is unusual for the area that early. As to the deer in the area their were almost non to speak of which my family and i found very odd... The past few years we have seen 100's of deer every section we have hunting in these units. Talked to a wildlife officer from meeker and he said the deer had moved up high last spring and their has been to much food and not enough snow to move them down into the area and the winter kill was moderate to normal. We never really have hunted unit 301 because it is 90% private. Later in the week decided to take a drive through the unit since we wernt seeing anyting in area 3 we came upon some private land with id say 6 4x4 trucks driving around a 3 mile by 3 mile square we decided to glass the area they kept driving around and come to see id say 100 deer or better with some really really nice bucks in the middle of where they were driving. we took out our map and noticed that this persons land borders BLM land and they were "deer driving" keeping them off the BLM land on on the private so they could charge and almost garantee their customers a deer. We stopped one of the trucks and they admited to doing this and he said he couldnt talk much longer he had to finish his deer drive so that his wife could fill her tag. I found this amazing and rediculus.
anyone else hunt these areas 2nd season how did you do????

Sincerely Yours
At Ween's request, I have reconsidered David Sanborn. Reappraised the smooth-jazz titan's impressively varied résumé (David Bowie, L.A. Law) and regarded anew his chosen aesthetic: a poppy, oil-slick, baby-making affability that evokes yachts, white zinfandel, and mullet-era Mel Gibson. Picture your father, half-emerged from the sunroof of a cherry-red Porsche puttering slowly past the Waverly Inn, his Italian silk tie blowing gracefully in the wind, his saxophone gleaming regally, soulfully blowing the chorus to "The Heat Is On" as women on the sidewalk coo and faint. That gets at it well enough.
In context, Sanborn can be surprisingly quite splendid. Even more surprisingly, the context that inspired this reappraisal is a Ween album.
"Your Party" is the final track and crowning jewel of La Cucaracha, the Pennsylvania-born duo's ninth (!) proper studio album in a lewd and lustrous 17-year (?!!?) career built around deeply juvenile, patently ludicrous genre experimentssynth-pop goofs, pornographic sea shanties, heavy-metal anthems, an entire hat-country album with song titles like "Mr. Richard Smoker" and "Piss Up a Rope"executed with shocking skill and dexterity. They are clowns, but Frank Zappa clowns, their dirty mouths writing outlandish checks their outlandishly talented asses can actually cash. Their schizophrenic records are like top-shelf surrealist sketch-comedy routines; their concerts are mind-blowing three-hour stadium-rock blowouts. (Request "Tender Situation." Or "Dr. Rock." Or "Puerto Rican Power.")
Lately Ween's vibe, or Ween's audience's vibe, or both, has taken on a dour jam-rock sheen. But Cucaracha is looser and goofier and more diabolical than they've sounded in years, and this resurgence peaks on "Your Party," a swinging yacht-rock ballad about a swank upper-crust fete, the kind that features mountains of cocaine and a diamond-encrusted bowl of keys. "There were candy and spices and tricolored pastas," coos Gene Ween (né Aaron Freeman), and lo, floating ethereally in the background, it's David Sanborn, honking seductively away, his dulcet tones makeout-music incarnate.

Dean Ween (né Mickey Melchiondo), the guitar-shredder of the group, has since raved to Billboard that he loves David Sanborn, which has aroused suspicion, if not outright guffaws. A great many critics and even fans assume these guys are fucking around, just first-class irony peddlers. Mickey is tired of being thus misunderstood and misunderestimated.
"Our stuff is mostly autobiographical," he says, calling in from his fishing spot on Long Beach Island. "People don't get that at all. Not just some recordsall of them. Aaron-Gene Weenhas written a lot of beautiful love songs. Some of our best songs are some of his love songs. And it's funny, for the first few records, to hear people say that we do spot-on parodies of love songs. We can't write a fuckin' love song? It has to be 'making fun of a love song'? It can't just be judged for what it is? How come we have that tag stuck to us? Because we switch styles of music, we're not afraid to play around?"
Consider "Baby Bitch," from 1994's beloved breakthrough Chocolate and Cheese. It's a willowy, somber, acoustic kiss-off. Sample lyrics: "Baby baby baby bitch/I'm better now, please fuck off." Dean thinks it gets a bad rap. "I remember what it was aboutit's about a breakup. I remember how hard it was on him, and how well he was able to articulate his pain or whatever in that song. I think that was the first time I can really remember reading that sort of thing about us, like, 'Oh, it's a parody of some kind of Bob Dylan breakup song.' Like, what the fuck are you talkin' about?"
The apex of this confusion is 1996's 12 Country Greats, a 10-song straight-up honky-tonk record cut in Nashville with badass lifer sidemen whom the Ween boys clearly deified. Or maybe not so clearly. "People thought we were going to Nashville and making fun of these old guys by making this record, not realizing it was one of the most rewarding things we ever did," Mickey says. "We're huge fans of it, and grew up on country music. The records those guys have played onwe felt we were going on sacred ground."
The notion that a band responsible for songs like "Put the Coke on My Dick" considers anything sacred ground is unfeasible, but if some of Cucaracha is excessively corny even by Ween's standardsnarcotized reggae romp "The Fruit Man," the painstakingly vapid dance-pop jam "Friend"it's good to hear them thoroughly enjoying themselves again. Quebec, from 2003, isn't entirely a downerbehold the Motörhead-aping opener "It's Gonna Be a Long Night"but it reflects a time in Ween's lives so unpleasant that Mickey has actually never listened to it, and possibly never will. "A lot of personal real-life shit went down," he says. "Aaron got divorced, and we were both way too fucked up, and it was no longer . . . fun."
"Fun" is a relative construct, of course. In sharp contrast to Aaron's love songs, Mickey admits: "When I'm really, really, really inspired to write is when I'm really fuckin' pissed off." Which brings us to "With My Own Bare Hands," a brief, violent, hard-rock Cucaracha track that features Mickey howling, "She's gonna be my cock professor, studyin' my dick/She's gonna get her master's degree in fuckin' me."
Mickey is happy to explain this song's genesis. "When I met my wife, she was aspiring to be a teacherwe've been together 17 years, we've been married 11 years. She had just gotten out of college, and she had to get her teaching credentials in New Jersey and Pennsylvania, then she went and got her master's degree. And then I ended up having to pay off these student loansand then, just about the time it was all said and done, we had a baby and she quit and, like, never worked again. Meanwhile, I'm paying off these student loans. I was really pissed off at her, so I wrote that song, and that's where that verse comes from.
"I've written some pretty rotten songs about her that she's dealt with," he adds. "Sometimes when she comes to see us, she gets a little bit pissed offat 'Piss Up a Rope' or whatever."
It's times like these you wonder: What's stranger, that Ween are David Sanborn fans or that David Sanborn is a Ween fan? Mickey says that when they initially approached his management about "Your Party," they got blown offbut suddenly, wait! It turns out Dave's a big fan, and he'd love to! Can this possibly be true?
"I like the whole record," Dave says, calling in froma Porsche's sunroof, maybe. "They're just really good songs, and interesting production . . . and they're funny. That shit is funny, man."
As to the question of whether he is being spoofed or deeply honored here, Dave is nonchalant. Profanely so, which is appropriate. "Personally, it doesn't really matter much to me," he says. "If it's a send-up, they certainly do it with conviction and musicianship. . . . They certainly do whatever they do well. Whether or not it's a put-on kind of becomes irrelevant. Do you like the song or not? That, to me, is the larger point: Does it work for you? Who gives a shit what their motives are? If you listen to it and go, 'Aw, come on,' then they fucked up. But if they do it and you go, 'Hmm, I wonder. . . .' "

What's So Funny? Stewart/Colbert and the Short Shelf Life of Satire | 12 Apr 2016 // 8:29 PM
The spot-on satire of series such as The Colbert Report and The Daily Show is their longevity's worst enemy.

Although Stewart and Colbert both ended their runs with their reputations largely intact, one can't forget the duo's most controversial moments. This is the "Threat Down" Count Down.

What The Colbert Report ridicules, then, is our tendency to listen most closely to those with whom we agree, whose shining unrealities make us feel good.

Question: What's the Difference Between Digital and Analog Baby Monitors?
Before you buy a baby monitor, it's important to know that there are two styles of audio baby monitors, analog and digital, and each has their own advantages and disadvantages.
Analog Baby Monitors
Analog baby monitors are usually inexpensive, and they're widely available, so you're likely to be able to find one that meets whatever unique baby monitor need your family has.
Analog baby monitors generally use the 49 mHZ or 900 mHz frequency, and it's a little like a radio channel in that you might get a lot of static and interference from other things nearby that are trying to use the same channel. There are plenty of electronic gadgets that share these frequencies, so analog baby monitors often come equipped with several channel options that you can change manually to find one that's clear, or the monitor may have an automatic channel scanner that tries to minimize electronic interference. Some analog baby monitors use the 2.4 GHz frequency, which may offer a little less interference.
A second problem with analog baby monitors comes if you live in close proximity to other people. When your baby monitor is competing for frequency space with cordless phones or other baby monitors, those signals are going to cross paths. The result could be that someone else hears your baby crying in the middle of the night, or you get to hear the neighbors' awkward fights.
Analog baby monitors, in general, have a weaker signal and can't be used for long distances like some digital baby monitors can. Most can handle walking around the average home, though, so unless your home is very large, this may not be a problem.
Digital Baby Monitors
Digital baby monitors tend to cost more than analog baby monitors, sometimes by quite a lot.
Digital baby monitors still operate on a frequency, often 2.4 GHz, (though you won't often see frequency listed on the package, strangely enough), but the signal is encrypted so that others can't hear what's happening in your household when those signals cross paths. Although the connection is secure in that no one can eavesdrop intentionally or accidentally, that doesn't mean you won't have any trouble with interference. Many parents report that their digital baby monitors wreak havoc with wireless routers. Others have trouble with cordless phones causing noises on their digital monitors.
The only way to have a secure connection plus a nearly interference-free guarantee is to purchase a DECT digital baby monitor. These baby monitors use a newer, less common 1.9 GHz frequency that doesn't seem to be prone to interference.
The final consideration with digital baby monitors is whether or not the pulsed signals are harmful. I have not seen any conclusive evidence on this topic, but most parents I know who've mentioned it feel that it's a "better safe than sorry" issue.
The type of signal coming from the digital baby monitor is stronger, and different, than that of the analog baby monitor. To be clear, I do not think this is a reason to stay away from digital baby monitors. If for some reason you need to position the baby monitor right by your baby's head, consider an analog monitor. If you choose a digital baby monitor, allow at least a few feet between baby and the monitor, to be on the safe side.
Digital, Analog, or DECT?
Unless you live in a household that is totally free of other electronic devices, it's possible that you'll get some sort of interference with both digital and analog baby monitors. You may need to try several types to find the one that works best for you. If you're not up for the trial and error, the one sure thing in baby monitors is DECT digital technology, but be prepared to pay for it. Only a few DECT digital baby monitors are available now, and most start around $100.
