*But of course there is the idea that there was no goal. *
Brinkmanship. It has been NK's MO for decades. Bring the area to the brink of all out war then step back for concessions.

The Obama administration has said it wants South Korea to lead the way in coming up with possible responses.
Because he doesn't have a clue what to do. Just sitting there looking at his Nobel Peace Prize.

Headline can be read a different way: was the photographer nude when taking the photos or was he taking pictures of nude corpses?

I wonder why LA are excluding the water and power they buy from Arizona from their boycott? BTW Arizona buys a lot more goods and services from Califronia companies than they sell. Ready, Fire, Aim.

@adaydream: I have built and worked on many rigs and vessels. This is a link to a photo of my last project vessel. My primary responsibility was insatllation of the drilling equipment and related modules (basicaly the middle 1/3rd of the vessel). They are trying other methods to but the directional drill and fill is the proven way. The block structure they are still trying is new and this is the first time it has been tried. I sincerely hope it works because it will give us another tool to deal with blowouts.

Of course I support it, it's my job. The last MAJOR rig disaster of this magnitude was the Piper Alfa in the North Seda in 1988. Since that incident, all industry workers attend hours and hours of safety training. Accidents happen in any industry, should we stop flying because of air disasters, should we stop mining because of cave-ins, should we stop shipping chemicals by rail beause of train wrecks?
Posted in: In light of the massive oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, do you support offshore drilling for oil anywhere in the world?

@adaydream: Obviously you don't know much about the oil and gas industry let alone drilling. They are not attaching a new "shut off valve" to anything, the procedure is to drill horizontally into the well and pump cement into it. This is being done right now but it takes time. If the repair entailed work on the well head it is done via ROVs (remote operated vehicles - robots) and is not really that difficult even at this depth. The biggest collaterial impact to this disaster is that the same BOP (blow out preventer) that failed here is installed on hundreds of other rigs.
@af2k: The government DOES have oversight on rig safety, they mandate that BOPs be installed. So if the equipment fails is that the government's fault? The biggest fault here seems to be the crew's failure to maintain gas tight integrity of the machinery modules where the gas cloud found a source of ignition.

@gaijinfo: From what I read, the window had a blocking device which did exactly what you state, that is allowing the window to be opened only a few inches......but the parents disengaged it.

Here's what happens if you are stopped by the police for some reason and do not have an ID on your person:
"Sir, may I see some ID?"
"Sorry officer, I left my wallet at home?"
"Are you a resident of Arizona?"
"Yes, officer"
"Do you have a driver's license?"
"Yes, officer"
"Can I have your name, address and SSN?"
"Sure It's.............."
Cop goes to his cruiser and punches in the info into his in car computer and gets a display of your DL including photo.
"Thank you Mr. ..... have a nice day."
This is just an example, they can still identify you even if you are from out of state or do not have a license. BUT, if you answer any of the questions with "No Comprende" prepare to be there a while.

Did he get Al Qaida to ban the use of the term "Great Satan" too? If AQ are not Islamic extermists, what should we call them?

“We laid out sheeting out on the deck and spread the rice over the sheets, and removed the grubs one by one,” a mid-ranked officer tells the reporter.
We had the same problem in Iraq. A better way to clean them out is to freeze the rice (killing the grubs) then put it in a tub of water. The rice stays on the bottom and the dead grubs float to the top and can be skimmed off easily.

One Kameda punk down and one to go. I will admit that Koki faught a clean fight not like his brother. He did complain about head buts a lot and I didn't see any intentional butting from Pongsaklek. He drops down when he throws that body punch and Koki kept leaning into it. Also that shaking of his left hand is really stupid when the other guy is hitting him at will.
