the news from the gulf just keeps getting worse.

gulf oil spill more than 10x greater than thought: expertsby frank james and allison richards.

npr has learned that much more oil, 70,000 barrels a day or more than ten times the official estimate, is gushing into the gulf of mexico from the deepwater horizon pipe, based on scientific analysis of the video released wednesday.. that's the equivalent of one exxon valdez tanker full every four days.

AND JAMAICA HAS BECOME BETTER DEFINED THIS EVENING. SURFACE
PRESSURES HAVE BEEN FALLING IN THE AREA AND THERE HAS BEEN AN
INCREASE IN THE SHOWER ACTIVITY. UPPER-LEVEL WINDS ARE GRADUALLY 
BECOMING MORE CONDUCIVE FOR DEVELOPMENT AND THE SYSTEM COULD BECOME
A TROPICAL DEPRESSION BEFORE IT REACHES THE YUCATAN PENINSULA IN A 
COUPLE OF DAYS. THERE IS A HIGH CHANCE...60 PERCENT...OF THIS

SYSTEM BECOMING A TROPICAL CYCLONE DURING THE NEXT 48 HOURS.

Tiger's mental mistakes

by AK - Jeff in

tiger woods blamed his mental mistakes for his loss in the us open.

i agree with his statement.

the open was there for the grabbing by any of the big names on the leader board.

As I have maintained for years, E. Woods - just doesn't face the competition of other eras. If he putts, he wins. If he doesn't he don't. Period.

It started on the first hole when he three putted. I stayed at the bar for another half hour, finished my beer and left to do other things. By that time it was just a question of how many of the big names were going to find ways to shoot themselves out of contention in typical fashion. As for the Irishman, his victory will not go down as very memorable - bogeying four of the last 10 holes, and probably, along with that Frenchman, never to be heard from again. To wit:

"It really has become a habit of sorts in recent years for the superstars to yield the stage to journeymen in what is considered the toughest championship in the world to win. Woods fumbled it away to Michael Campbell at Pinehurst in 2005. Mickelson derailed himself with a double bogey at Winged Foot in 2006. Woods and Jim Furyk got passed down the stretch at Oakmont in 2007. Mickelson again stalled on the closing holes at Bethpage in 2009. If Woods doesn't make a 12-foot birdie putt on the 72nd hole at Torrey Pines in 2008, Rocco Mediate is a U.S. Open winner. Now once again on a course that gave us defining moments -- Jack Nicklaus, Tom Watson, Tom Kite and Tiger -- the big names frittered it away and let McDowell hoist the trophy despite four bogeys in his last 10 holes..........." http://www.cbssports.com/golf/story/13545808

As for E Woods - who cares. No class.

should have seen it coming.

don't want to rehash my personal situation, anyone who's read my former posts will know it.

anyone who cares can look them up and get the gist of the situation.

Your sister will probably wind up having a part at an assembly about the benefits of downsizing for the sake of the good news. I'm surprised my sister didn't become a jw. Got a heart of pure concrete - but loves animals.

Blow Up the Well to Save the Gulf?

by leavingwt in

the op-ed below in the ny times advocates blowing up the well with smartly-placed conventional explosives, not a nuclear bomb.

its true that the primary blast of a conventional explosion is less effective underwater than on land because of the intense back-pressure that muffles the shock wave.

but as a submariner who studied the detonation of torpedoes, i learned that an underwater explosion also creates rapid follow-on shockwaves.

Nice to see that you're all finally getting the big picture. Don't like to be the one to say I told you so, but.......

...is going to get his punched out.

yes, friends, this is another thread about the latest generation teaching.

so, if you're sick to death of it, leave now, save yourselves.... anyhoo... as the wts has now unleashed on the world the true explanation of generation and what it means for those of us in this time of the end, dubs who accept without question this teaching are 'oohing' and 'ahhing' as the new explanation 'makes so much sense now'.

Documents: BP Estimated 4.2M Gallon in Worst Case
Sunday, 20 Jun 2010 05:53 PM

BURAS, Louisiana – BP Plc estimates that a worst-case scenario rate for the Gulf of Mexico oil spill could be about 100,000 barrels of oil per day, according to an internal company document released Sunday by a senior U.S. congressional Democrat.

Its estimate of up to 100,000 barrels (4.2 million gallons/15.9 million liters) of oil per day is far higher than the current U.S. government estimate of up to 60,000 barrels (2.5 million gallons/9.5 million liters) gushing daily from the ruptured offshore well into the sea.

BP spokesman Toby Odone said the document appeared to be genuine but the estimate applied only to a situation in which a key piece of equipment called a blowout preventer is removed. "Since there are no plans to remove the blowout preventer, the number is irrelevant," he said.

The British energy giant, still struggling to stop a leak that began on April 20 and is causing an economic and environmental disaster along the U.S. Gulf Coast, is planning to raise $50 billion to cover the cost of the largest oil spill in U.S. history, London's Sunday Times reported.............."

two witness rule

by rnicole76 in

this rule is really flawed.

if the child goes to the elder and tell them that bro.

so and so raped him.

freydo

This is such a travesty. In Deuteronomy 18 and elsewhere, judges were required to investigate thoroughly matters that had been brought to their attention and provide justice. In the case of children bringing charges and where no witnesses can be found, the very least they should do, imo, in pray that the truth be exposed instead of throwing up their hands and threatening the injured with gag orders.
