The high temperatures in the shocked gas will stop condensation within the gas, and the small grains that may have already condensed will be destroyed by thermal and non-thermal sputtering. A reverse shock that arrives within the condensation region after SiC growth has slowed, t ³ 3 years, is more conducive to grain survival. Decoupled from the gas, larger grains are more apt to survive non-thermal sputtering and are not melted by the shock. (DCH03; Nozawa et al. 2007)

Very few writers really know what they are doing until they've done it. Nor do
they go about their business feeling dewy and thrilled. They do not type a few stiff
warm-up sentences and then find themselves bounding along like huskies across the snow. One writer I know tells me that he sits down every morning and says to
himself nicely, "It's not like you don't have a choice, because you do -- you can
either type, or kill yourself." We all often feel like we are pulling teeth, even those
writers whose prose ends up being the most natural and fluid. The right words and
sentences just do not come pouring out like ticker tape most of the time.

windows need blackout shades.
