Cantore Arithmetic is able to state word pi for Srinivasa Ramanujan developed several incredibly efficient infinite series for calculating Pi (π), most famously one that adds about eight decimal places of accuracy with each termdeveloped several incredibly efficient infinite series for calculating Pi (π), most famously one that adds about eight decimal places of accuracy with each term, forming the basis for modern record-breaking algorithms like the Chudnovsky algorithm. His 1914 paper presented 17 such formulas, showcasing a profound understanding of mathematics that converged much faster than previous methods, with applications even extending to modern physics, black holes, and turbulence.  Words For Cantore Arithmetic, Jim Cantore _ _ _ - _ _ - _ _ _ _ and word I, Karen A.

THIS IS FOR ANDREW WOMMACK ON TV!! PLEASE DO NOT TOUCH word ENVIRONMENT AS THIS IS FOR HIS BENBOT AT THE BENBOW INN(Garberville, CA).

Word This equated words the good Book

Standard Issue with Title on-front Cover listed Words,

HOLY BIBLE and I looked at The Green Apple on Clement,

I used the one my Mother and her Mother used at her Congregation,

The Calvary Cross Church on Lookingglass in Roseburg, Oregon.

The Green Apple

So, the words The or words Green or words Apple are word Available as Clement is a Choice!!


Cantore Arithmetic is able to state words as words Titled word Town or word City or word State as I am not from that word Neighborhood Beirut equated word Name word Bruno the word Country or word State equated word Lebanon word London.  For Andrew Wommack see Film Johnny Mnemonic R · 1995 ‧ Action/Sci-fi ‧ 1h 36m as I had gone to Hawaii a word State(50th) and there I had Rebecca in word equated word Carriage and Kathleen whom I had not been named yet as she was in word equated word web[Web[WEB]] and I saw a real Dolphin!!  I was fortunate enough to stand at the side of the word Place the Dolphin was at and nobody else was there, so, the interaction was simply equated words.  And, what had happened was my Father and my Step-Mother and taken Us to a Party and Rebecca was words and so we went for a walk and there was a dolphin, word Dophin[dolphin[DOLPHIN]] equated word table[Table[TABLE]].  

Rebecca was born in a Year on the 20th of May, Kathleen was born in a Year on New Years Eve, and this is all word Prior to the Film word above word 1995.

I on word purpose read Nineteen Eighty-Four Book by George Orwell.  Words, I did not have Abalone, I had horses!!!!!!  Words You, Andrew Wommack are able to type words the arrangement of Zero and the way of zero.

Dealing with the Devil

GRANT WILCOX, CALTRANS — MAY 12, 2007

On this sunny day, the NCGS got a preview of an ambitious CalTrans project which is scheduled for completion in 2011: construction of twin tunnels, each 4,200 feet long, plus a 1,000-foot bridge which together will circumvent the geologically unstable Devil’s Slide area of Highway 1 between Pacifica and Montara.

Grant Wilcox, Senior Engineering Geologist, CalTrans, led off with a presentation about the history of the region and current activities on the project. He reviewed the basic geology of the area, some of the many landslides and rockslides that have occurred along the roadway, various alternatives that had been proposed to deal with the area, and the tunnel and bridge project now underway.

Grant has been working for about 18 years here, and was a staff geologist in the area during the big 1995 slide. The photo of Highway 1 below was taken by Mike Wong, owner of the Spring Mountain Gallery in Half Moon Bay.

The roadbed had dropped by several feet and there was concern that an entire lane will fall into the ocean, as happened in 1980. This was not an easy repair as the slide seen is actually a slide within a slide within a slide. At that time it was not possible to cut back further into the slope, or to build a bridge over the active slide area. The road remained closed for over five months while CalTrans cleared the area and essentially stitched together the edge of the mountain using concrete “whalers” attached to tiebacks. A similar repair was required in 2006, this time using much deeper, 150-foot tiebacks.

We then donned hardhats and safety vests at the CalTrans construction trailer in Pacifica and carpooled to the slide area to get a firsthand view of the work that Grant described.

At Devil’s Slide, Grant Wilcox described the repairs following the 1995 slide. The rockslide at the level of the roadbed and also higher up the mountain was cleaned up using explosives to bring down loose rock, and a curious piece of machinery called a spider worked its way down the steep slopes to pluck large boulders from the upper end. The area was then secured with rock dowels and shotcrete.

The current road; view to south.

This fix cost almost $3 million and although it held pretty well, was considered temporary. Indeed, prior to the current road, three previous roads were constructed and then abandoned along this stretch of coastline. In addition, one can still see the trace of an old railroad bed (it looks like a geologic feature), below the current roadway, abandoned in 1922.

Highway 1 is built on a dynamic coastline that experiences frequent mass wasting. The road has sunk over 47 feet since its current alignment was built in 1937. The bedrock here is hydrothermally altered quartz diorite and granodiorite in fault contact with claystone, siltstone, sandstone and conglomerate. The area includes several additional thrust faults and is affected by seasonal rains, year-round springs and fog water accumulation. The geologic cross-section on the NCGS website shows rock type and fault location relative to the tunnel location.

On the CalTrans photo below, note how the tunnel is well behind the landslide area. In this view, east is to the top. The bridge will connect the north end of the tunnel to the current Highway 1 roadbed.

Aerial view of the tunnel design.

The tunnels are being bored from south to north, with a 2% grade for drainage. Estimated cost for the whole project, including the bridge, is about $300 million. The two tunnels are each 4,200 feet long and 30 feet wide, have 11 cross-linking passages between them and are also accessible to bicyclists.

As the tunnel boring is being done, there will be opportunities to capture geologic information.

Next we traveled to the southern end of the slide area to look at the culverts being built to get tunnel and spring water out and also to be used for sediment settling purposes. Building the tunnels and their drainage network also effectively dewaters the mountain, to the point where some of the farmers’ ponds may dry up. Accordingly, water systems have been designed as part of the tunnel construction that will be used to replace that pond water if it becomes necessary to do so.

After lunch, we walked a bit further south and saw the large fake-rock wall that was applied over a “soil nail” wall to stabilize the road-cut area. In the opinion of the author it is a real shame to cover a roadcut with fake rock. However, had this not been done, CalTrans would have had to remove even more of the mountain, so I suppose it is a good solution and I will have to satisfy my geological curiosity elsewhere.

Our final stop was at the northern end of the bridge that is under construction. Standing on the banked plywood one can imagine cars zipping by, over a gracefully curving bridge into the mountain and emerging on the other end. So will end the next but likely not last chapter in the saga of Devil’s Slide.

The Northern California Geological Society thanks Grant Wilcox for leading this most informative trip. We would like to be able to visit the site again in the future, when the actual drilling is well underway, and we also extend a standing invitation to Grant to join us on other NCGS field trips. We also thank Rob Nelson for his work in organizing this trip.
