Map text:
During the last ice advance and retreat (in the latest Pleistocene), an extension of the Cordilleran ice sheet, called the Puget lobe, covered the Puget Sound region (see location map).
The colored area of the map represents the approximate maximum extent of the Puget Lobe during this time period. During glacial maximum, the location of modern-day Seattle (near the center of this map) was beneath 3,000 feet of ice.
All of the land and waterways in this region were shaped, at least in part, by the glacial ice of the Puget lobe. Many large-scale glacial landforms are preserved in the landscape today. In this lidar*-derived map, landforms such as drumlins, kettles, eskers, and glacial stream channels can be seen. Examples of these and other landscape features are enlarged at bottom right.
Most of Washington’s population lives in this region—the glacial geology influences many aspects of daily life, including transportation, water supply systems, agriculture, and building regulations.
During the advance and retreat of the Puget lobe, drainages around the ice sheet were blocked, forming multiple proglacial lakes. The darker colors on this map indicate lower elevations, and show many of these valleys. The Stillaguamish, Snohomish, Snoqualmie, and Puyallup River valleys all once contained proglacial lakes. There are many remnants of these lakes left today, such as Lake Washington and Lake Sammamish, east of Seattle.
As the Puget lobe retreated, lake outflows, glacial meltwater, and glacial outburst flooding all contributed to dozens of channels that flowed southwest to the Chehalis River at the southwest corner of this map. Remnants of these channels can be seen along the eastern and southern edge of the colored area in the map. Present-day Lake Kapowsin and Ohop Lake both occupy one of these channels. Today, the Chehalis River flows through a wide valley that was largely sculpted by ice-age meltwater.
Drumlins - Drumlins (or fluted ridges) are geologic features where movement of the ice sheet smooths glacial sediment into elongated teardrop shapes. Drumlins align in the direction of the ice flow and are evident across most of the Puget Lowland.
Mima Mounds - Intriguing features called Mima Mounds are found on Mima Prairie and in several outwash channels in the southern part of this map. Composed of organic-rich, sandy soil, Mima Mounds on this map are only found on the most recent glacial outwash deposits. The origin of the mounds has been debated for decades and a consensus on their formation has not yet been agreed upon.
Kettles - Glacial kettles are depressions that form when a retreating glacier leaves a bit of ice behind which then becomes buried by sediment shed from glacial streams. When the block of ice melts, the sediment collapses, forming a kettle. Kettles can be dry or filled with water, depending on their depth and the level of groundwater in the area.
Eskers - Eskers are snake-shaped landforms that are often found near the glacier’s terminus. Eskers are formed when rivers that are underneath, on top of, or within a glacier, transport pebble- to cobble-sized gravel that is exposed once the glacier retreats. The resulting landform is a sinuous ridge of gravel that runs roughly parallel to the direction of ice flow.
Outwash Channels - Dozens of stream channels were created by glacial lake outflows, glacial meltwater streams, and glacial outburst floods. Today, many of the channels no longer transport water or have smaller streams occupying them than the streams that formed them.
Fault scarps - Sharp breaks in the fluted topography make it easy to identify geologically recent faults, such as this one called the Toe Jam Hill fault on Bainbridge Island west of Seattle, which is part of the Seattle fault zone.

MOLEMAN'S EPIC RAP BATTLES!!!!!!!!!
REIMU HAKUREI…
…VS…
…GODZILLA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
BEGIN!!!
Reimu Hakurei:
Think I'm scared of you just 'cause I barely come up to your toes?
Prepare to learn how deep the Shanghai Alice rabbit hole goes:
I'm a one–girl army, dreamt up by a one–man team,
Flying around past seas of bullets, spamming neon laser beams;
Near–untouchably nimble, and my hitbox is so small.
Yours is big as they come, and all the harder you'll fall!
I'm an oriental cutie with an elegant aura,
Taking the biggest dump on you since your duel with Hedorah!
Come a long way since I started bouncing 'round that Yin–Yang ball,
And nowadays, my friends and I have half the internet enthralled.
You're old news, Goji, like an apple gone rotten;
Leave you like the old PC cast: obsolete and forgotten!
I'm no slacker when it comes to double–dealing verbal pain:
Enough rhymes to blow your mind across both of your brains!
I'll 1CC this battle without bombs on Lunatic Mode,
Tie you down, and pour a truckload of tea down your throat!
Godzilla:
Old Godzilla's hip–hopping around,
About to stomp this patron saint of weeaboos into the ground!
Still incumbent, reigning King of Monsters after six decades,
Pointing out the many follies of this destitute shrine maid:
Sure, by little girl standards, you may be a superhero,
But I'm so far past your league, I might as well be fighting Cirno,
'Cause you're on par with my pussy son Minilla at best,
And your verses are more padding–filled than Sakuya's chest!
Highly responsive to your bullshit, and I'll counter every diss.
I'm a relentless force of nature, and nature is pissed!
No Emmerich Iguanas here, as anyone can plainly see,
So spell my name with that capital G-O-D!
I've terrorized Japan from Tokyo to Fukuoka,
And I'll squash your puny shrine like a one–level pagoda.
Replay this match on every single setting, only to find
That in all seven secret endings, victory is still mine!
Reimu Hakurei:
Your voice sounds like a glove, scraping a bass with rusty wires!
Talk about a far cry from all the music we've inspired,
"We" being me and all my friends; got so many, I lost track.
In fact, I'll show you right now; let my main homegirl take a crack:
Marisa Kirisame:
Just let me borrow that mic and watch me steal some precious thunder
With my grimoires' worth of verses that I didn't even plunder!
Like so many books and forums, I'm hijacking this fight,
Packing heat by the star–full, and I'll be knocking out your lights;
Look like an ordinary witch, with pointy hat and little broom,
But bitch, I've got a mushroom–fueled furnace of fiery doom!
Self–trained, and my power's both material and present.
Wanna talk about "leagues"? I'm pretty much in League of Legends!
My words will hit you hard like Gigan, pierce you 'til you're bleeding;
As Patchouli can attest, I really did all of my reading.
Such a swagger queen, got seven different themes to my name;
Plus a Master Spark to overpower your atomic flame,
And though I'm not as strong as Reimu, go ask Alice if I'm hotter.
Either way, we'll blow your whole island of misfits out the water,
'Less you back off; take it easy, as those floating heads would say.
You're in Gensokyo now, Tokyo bloke. Yo, understand, da ze?
Reimu Hakurei:
For each remotely scary line you have, a dozen more are goofy;
Congrats on being so spot on with the history of your movies.
Wipe that purposeful grimace from your ugly face, you brute,
Because we'll drop you in three minutes, like your wretched Shodai suit!
Godzilla:
Even Gamera's less full of crap than you two baka wenches!
When you mess with this G–Man, prepare for obvious consequences.
If you wanna have a tag–team match, I'll meet you there just fine;
I'd wondered when I'd get to raid again with this old pal of mine:
Anguirus:
Huh, what do you want? Oh, yeah; that's right:
The monster king's calling upon his man–at–arms to join the fight,
And he's backing up these words he's barking with one helluva bite,
Thorny carapace and hide imperishable as the night!
I'm one repugnant, Battra–shit insane, ass–kicking Ankylosaur;
Redundant brains to keep me ticking, and a Super Metroid roar.
The first apprentice to the master of the art of destruction,
Butting heads with Big G way back since his second production!
Full–time Killer of the Living, and I need no fancy gimmicks:
Simple, solid strength; no cheap tricks for Marisa to mimic.
We'll take you to the farthest place down from your "Fantasy Heaven";
Screw "Bullet Hell": our kind comes straight from Dante's Circle Seven!
Giant monsters go all–out when we attack; no holds are barred.
Watch us play 52 Pickup with your deck of Spell Cards!
You girls may think you're vicious, table–turning killers like Hard Candy,
But step up to any kaiju, and you'll end up like Bambi!
Godzilla:
You're like Jet Jaguar juxtaposed with us: out–of–place and laughable;
A following so bloated, it makes my own size look natural!
Your whole fandom's one big circle jerk, fapping to armpits;
You just need their art because your maker can't draw worth a shit!
Reimu Hakurei:
There must be some alien cockroach up there, clouding your thinking!
Marisa Kirisame:
...Either that, or someone's broken Suika's record for drinking!
Reimu Hakurei:
Two not–so–little monsters, strongest under the sun,
But then our secret weapon came along, and then there were none!
Flandre Scarlet:
The name's Doctor F–L–A–N Dre!
Basement's unlocked, now I'm out to play,
Like the Warriors, and I, too, am an army of the night;
Take you through the Extra Stage, then to your burial site!
I'm bringing one wicked case of Scarlet Fever,
And I'm not talking 'bout Cee Lo's girls, either.
Sister of the bloody Devil, bloodier than Bloody Mary,
And I'll blast you with the strength of ten entire militaries!
It's curtains for you when I open curtain fire;
Raining danmaku on Monsterland until it's but a pyre.
Nowhere to run; no water body can hide you,
When this Scarlet Witch says "No more kaiju."
You'll go flying backwards, not propelled by your breath,
But from my tension–crushing psychic hand–squeeze of death!
Can't mistake it, even when I'm going Four–of–a–Kind:
There's no vampiress more volatile in all of design.
When my rhymes set this whole place ablaze,
Even Reimu won't leave with her face ungrazed;
I murdered Loki, stole his sword,
Caused Ragnarok, and did it 'cause I was bored!
Only in one game, 'cause I'm so OP,
But without me, the rest feel so empty,
And F.Y.I., Aggie Christie:
You dropped the ball; U.N. Owen was ME!
Marisa Kirisame:
Well use your bones as instruments when this incident's over,
Then upload the brand new song we've made to Nico Nico Douga!
Reimu Hakurei:
So forget your Destoroyah and that Ghidorah clown;
We're the triple threat that's bringing 'bout your final meltdown!
Godzilla:
Relying on two backups? You're no good girl at all!
Anguirus:
Not even sure if she's a girl; that kind of tactic takes balls.
Plus, bringing up "clowns"? That's biting more than I could chew;
I've got three words for this "trump card" of yours: RAN RAN RUU!
Godzilla:
Seems that crazy womanchild's where you're riding all your money,
But from where I stand, she's just another useless little bunny!
Could retaliate with Mothra, but that won't be necessary,
And besides, this battle already has far too many fairies!
Dropping bombs like the nukes that made this massive mutant
On the pitiful programmings of one drunken college student;
I'll leave you on life support, and then it's your extermination,
When they pull the plug on you for lack of organ donations.
WHO WON?
WHO'S NEXT?
I DECIDE!!!!!!
MOLEMAN'S… (*Godzilla roar*) …EPIC RAP BATTLES!!!!!!!!!!

I have to learn to enjoy the peace and quiet. I'm so used to the dysfunction that I don't know how to deal with the quiet. I really want to learn. because when I allow it to be quiet, it's nice. Shorty is such a good dog. He deserves better than me. I'm really glad he puts up with me.
Tinkering Studio founders Karen Wilkinson and Mike Petrich gave us a great tour of their hands-on workshop and learning center at the Exploratorium, in a field trip organized by the ReMake Education Summit team.
The Tinkering Studio is an immersive, active, creative place at the Exploratorium where museum visitors can slow down, become deeply engaged in an investigation of scientific phenomena, and make something—a piece of a collaborative chain reaction—that fully represents their ideas and aesthetic.
Karen and Mike showed some really creative ways to teach art, science and making -- and it inspired me to try some of their practices into our own maker art work and the classes we teach at Tam Makers.

Staff Sergeant Salvatore A. Giunta - Medal of Honor - Afghanistan - Operation Enduring Freedom
Official Narrative
On Oct. 25, 2007, Spc. Giunta’s platoon was conducting a movement to contact to interdict enemy forces on the Gatigal Spur, in order to provide over watch for 2nd and 3rd platoon’s exfil back to Combat Outpost Vimot, and the Korengal Outpost. While conducting their exfil from the platoon’s blocking position, Spc. Giunta’s platoon was ambushed by 10 to 15 enemy personnel who utilized an “L” shaped, near ambush that was within 10 meters of the platoon’s main body. The enemy fired 10 Rocket Propelled Grenades (RPGs) and three PKMs (machine guns) from the apex of the ambush and additional AK-47s from throughout the ambush line.
The enemy initiated the contact with an RPG and a burst of PKM (fire), which immediately hit and wounded two members of the lead team, Sgt. Brennan and Spc. Eckrode. Another RPG in the initial volley hit extremely close to Spc. Giunta’s position. While Staff Sgt. Gallardo moved back to his Bravo Team to get situation reports, Spc. Giunta provided covering fire by leading his team in suppressing enemy positions, assigning sectors of fire and commanding his M-203 gunner to engage close targets. While advancing toward Spc. Giunta’s team, Staff Sgt. Gallardo was struck in the helmet by an AK-47 round, which caused him to fall to the ground. Despite being under heavy fire by PKM, RPG, and small arms, Spc. Giunta immediately left his covered position in order to render aid to his squad leader. As he moved to provide assistance, Spc. Giunta was struck by two bullets; one of which impacted his chest area but was stopped by his Enhanced Small Arms Protective Insert (E-SAPI) plate, and one round which impacted the Shoulder-Launched Multipurpose Assault Weapon-D (SMAW-D) rocket he was carrying across his back. Without hesitation, Spc. Giunta recovered from the impacts and ensured his squad leader was not injured. He then began bounding his team forward in an attempt to maneuver on the enemy.
Spc. Giunta and his fire team were quickly pinned down by effective enemy machine gun and small arms fire from multiple positions at close range. Spc. Giunta, along with Pfc. Clary and Staff Sgt. Gallardo, quickly prepared fragmentation grenades and continued the assault by throwing two volleys of them at enemy positions that were approximately 15 meters to their west. They then assaulted forward through those positions, secured Spc. Eckrode, and began treating his wounds. Realizing that Sgt. Brennan was missing, Pfc. Clary and Spc. Giunta continued to push forward along the enemy’s ex-filtration route, despite taking small arms fire from enemy personnel who were attempting to cover their withdrawal. Moving in the lead and rapidly closing with the enemy, despite receiving effective fire, Spc. Giunta overtook two enemy combatants attempting to drag off Sgt. Brennan, who had been incapacitated by his wounds. Spc. Giunta engaged one enemy combatant at close range and killed him, which cause the other enemy combatant to drop Sgt. Brennan and flee. Spc. Giunta then began immediate first aid on Sgt. Brennan, and also helped his squad leader to adjust security, further consolidate casualties, and prepare for Medical Evacuation operations.
Spc. Giunta’s selfless actions and personal courage were the decisive factors in changing the tide of the battle, ensuring that Sgt. Brennan was not captured by the enemy, and preventing the lead fire team from being destroyed by the enemy’s near ambush. Despite bullets impacting on and around himself, Spc. Giunta fearlessly advanced on the enemy and provided aid to his fallen comrades. His actions saved the lives of multiple paratroopers and changed the course of the battle in his platoon’s favor.
For exceptionally valorous actions during Operation Enduring Freedom VIII while assigned as a rifle team leader in Battle Company, 2nd Battalion (Airborne), 503rd Infantry. Spc. Giunta’s unwavering courage, aggressiveness, selfless service, and leadership while under extreme enemy fire were decisive in his platoon achieving fire superiority, defeating an enemy near ambush, and preventing the capture of a fellow paratrooper by the enemy. His actions reflect great credit upon himself, the Rock Battalion, the Bayonet Brigade Combat Team, Combined Joint Task Force-82, and the United States Army.
