Species by species, a habitat takes shape
[Link: seattletimes.nwsource.com…]
“The eruption of Mount St. Helens 30 years ago destroyed so much that often overlooked is what it created: an entirely new ecosystem. More than 130 new ponds and two new lakes were birthed at the foot of the volcano. What’s going on today in and around these ponds isn’t restoration, or renewal, or recovery.
Salamanders, frogs and toads are not just moving back where they were before the eruption. They are taking on whole new territory.
It’s the assembly, species by species, of a new habitat.”

Wow…ELF and the rest of the greens better get on the ball, do some research and put that place back the way it was. Can’t have any eco-system change…

Yeah…I can’t wait until I’m in my 70s or 80s so I can get all happy about oyster and shrimp farming returning to the Gulf of Mexico.

I said the last episode, not the LAT episode. There is still one regular episode and then a 2 1/2 hour finale. This Tuesday and then next Sunday evening. I hoping to get off next Sunday evening, but I am low man on the seniority totem pole and Sundays are the hardest days to fiddle with, since most people want them off. Manager is going to try to schedule me a little earlier in the day so I can be home by 8:00pm mountain time.

Yes. Because it is a totally racist law, and everyone in Arizona is racist. And Nazi.

Are you sure you want to get into that “Teleprompter” thingy?
Just sayin’…
At least the President has the forethought to rehearse his speeches before he gives them, so the teleprompter is there as a guide. He isn’t leaning forward trying to follow the magic text.

Some possible good news: BP says tube successfully inserted back into Gulf leak
Oil company BP says it has successfully reinserted the end of a tube into a damaged oil pipe nearly a mile beneath the Gulf of Mexico, after a weekend setback halted efforts to siphon off the crude.
The system was able to send some of the leaking oil to be captured aboard a drill ship on the surface overnight and burned off some of the natural gas released in the process, according to a statement from the joint BP-Coast Guard command center leading the response to the oil spill.
The siphon is fashioned from a 4-inch pipe and is inserted into the riser of the damaged well at the heart of the leak. The pipe is then connected to a ship on the surface, 5,000 feet above the sea floor.
If successful, the technique will capture most of the oil that has been pouring out of the well since the sinking of the drill platform Deepwater Horizon in late April. But the effort was dealt a setback Friday night, when the frame holding the insertion tube shifted and prevented the surface vessel from connecting to it, said Doug Suttles, BP’s chief operating officer for exploration and production.

I can’t predicit the markets. I am getting ready for a pre-planned trip to New Orleans this week and I can’t help but wonder why more reporting is not being done on the gas escaping with the oil in the Gulf of Mexico. Since all their solutions seem to be failing. They talk about another rig or two being used to drill a relief well; isn’t that dangerous to drill in areas with all that methane floating around. After all, isn’t methane forming the ice crystals that stopped their other attempt at putting a dome it?

re: #32 Killgore Trout

KT-
The Riser is 21” in diameter. The Production Casing is 7” in diameter. They say they inserted the 4’ Relief Line in the *Riser*.
So where is the release point? From the casing, the riser, or both?
Let’s do the math:
The riser is 338 square inches in area. (10.5 X 10.5 X Pi)
The production casing is 38 square inches in area. (3.5 X 3.5 X Pi)
The relief line is 13 square inches. (2 X 2 X Pi)
You see the problem. If they put the relief line in the riser, one must assume that they had a “backside blowout”- that the cement on the *outside* of the production casing failed. But that would mean that release covers an area of 300 square inches and the relief line can only recover 4% of the oil.
Not good.
