And tell me what is wrong with the picture you find there.

I think I'm dreamin'... but I have this sinking feeling I'm not.

It was the FIRST thing I noticed and it brought back my food poisoning.

I don't know. The gauge doesn't go high enough?

That'd be 'er.... Lowest estimates I've heard are in the 20,000psi range... going on up to 70 and a hunnert thousand.... So. Well. Obviously. It's a plot to send me off a cliff.

Gold stars will be arriving soon. However many you want, just name it.

Not high enough... When I saw this gauge several days ago in one of the ROV feeds I was wondering what it was for as it was at most 1/2 of what I have heard reported for the pressure in the well.

The top stack is back on - testing to begin soon... Peg that gauge!

The first time I looked at it my mind did the correction and I "saw" 10,000 to 100,000 psi. Maybe that's a x10 gauge.

I saw this in today's news:
"The test will involve closing off all three openings in the cap to the Gulf, in theory stopping the oil leaking into the Gulf. BP will be monitoring pressure under the cap. High pressure is good, because it shows there's only a single leak. Low pressure, below 6,000 pounds per square inch or so, could mean more leaks farther down in the well."

The ice is moving to the South Pole

However it seems everywhere but here has been hotter than normal this first half of the year.

Here we have st many records for low temperatures - coldest days, coldest nights, latest days in the year to hit 70, 80 & 90.

So far only about three days over one hundred, and then only by one or tow degrees.

Today is the first day of our first heat wave - 103 today, 105 tomorrow then tapering back off to 89 by Monday. Average is 94, we've been running in the mid 80's for the last four or five days.

At this moment BP reporting valves fully shut - but they aren't showing us the gauge...

I haven't caught the damn video showing it, the valve OR the flow, either. All this split screen bullshit of the busy little bots down there and NOT the horrendous flow from the blowout. Last I saw it had gotten much faster and stronger... looking more like the undersea volcanoes than the mellower hydrothermal vent action. Of course, BY NOW, we can't believe a damn word they say and it's about the smartest thing to take everything they say, translate it into its opposite and THAT will be much more likely to approximate the truth.

CNN news flash in my inbox:

SEC: Goldman Sachs to pay record $550 million and reform practices to settle subprime mortgage fraud charges.

If we want it any different... say, if we want our actual country and Constitution and justice system... we have to MAKE it happen. Plain as the nose on your face. Force is mandatory. Nothing else will stop them. and $550 million is CHUMP CHANGE to them. CHUMP CHANGE.

Put on yer war paint.

Now That is really strange - I guess Google logged itself in to an old defunct Google mail identity from my work!

I noticed it didn't ask for me to sign in when I posted the comment, but was in a hurry and didn't check it until now.

48 hours of work so far this week - 8 more to go tomorrow - I'm going to bed!

The trouble with our liberal friends is not that they are ignorant, it's just that they know so much that isn't so.
—Ronald Reagan

Some of us who have already begun to break the silence of the night have found that the calling to speak is often a vocation of agony, but we must speak. We must speak with all the humility that is appropriate to our limited vision, but we must speak.

We're all fucked. I'm fucked. You're fucked. The whole department is fucked. It's the biggest cock-up ever. We're all completely fucked.

Anyone calling Obama a leftist, liberal, or progressive needs to have the stupid beat out of them.
—Old Uncle Dave

As for the Taliban ... their stated grievance is the same as Gen. Washington’s in our war with the British: If you want this war to end, get out of our country.
—Pat Buchanan

Obama-era drone warfare ... in general looks like Bush-era drone warfare on steroids.
—Scott Horton

There has to be altruism in the universe.
—Frank Drake

The morons in Washington are pushing the envelope of nuclear war. The insane drive for American hegemony threatens life on earth. The American people, by accepting the lies and deceptions of “their” government, are facilitating this outcome.
—Paul Craig Roberts

I am a child of the South. Janet Napolitano tells me I need to be afraid of people who are labeled white supremacists but I was raised around white supremacists. I am not afraid of white supremacists. I am concerned about my own government. The Patriot Act did not come from the white supremacists, it came from the White House and Congress. Citizens United did not come from white supremacists, it came from the Supreme Court.
—Cynthia McKinney

No one has to "marry" anyone else politically; no one has to embrace every tenet or belief that an anti-imperialist ally might hold. You simply have to say: "All of us, regardless of our other views, believe this truth to be self-evident: dismantling the empire will bring immediate and enormous benefits to our nation and to the world."
—Chris Floyd

The power of the people on top depends on the obedience of the people below.

· One out of seven American homeowners will probably lose their homes by the end of 2010.

· Only 4.7 percent of distressed homeowners who enrolled in the modification plan have gotten any help.

· Out of Obama's $75 billion program, only $2.3 million has been spent—or 0.03 percent.

Obama's performance on the foreclosure crisis—along with unemployment, the biggest problem America faces—makes Bush's laissez faire approach to Hurricane Katrina look caring and loving in comparison. If ever there were a cause for impeachment, look no further.
—Ted Rall

As self-appointed champions of civilisation against barbarism, they fail to see that a certain barbarism is the flipside of civilisation itself, inseparable from its smooth operation. For every cathedral, a pit of bones; for every artistic masterpiece, human wretchedness and back-breaking toil.
—Terry Eagleton

commenting kaos, sidebar krap, quotes

Here at home and throughout the world people are fighting back against the forces of wealth, privilege, and militarism — some because they have no choice, others because they would choose no other course but the one that leads to peace and justice.
