ELECTRIC FIELD PROBE Filed March 9. 1954 2 Sheets-Sheet 2 A n 07b V480 fi United States Patent ELECTRIC FIELD PROBE Kiyo Tomiyasu, Flushing, N. Y., assignor to Sperry Rand Corporation, a corporation of Delaware This invention relates to a proble for sampling energy in a wave guide, and more particularly, to a probe giving 2,873,436 Patented Feb. 10, 1959.
probe base 24 and the top face of wave guide 10, and also between the apron 18 and the edges of the slot 13.
Carriage 2 is comprised of two end supports 1-1 which are clamped to either end of wave guide 10 as by clamping bars 9-9 and screws. Rods 3 and 4, round in cross-section, extend between and are fixed to the end supports 1-1. A series of teeth, forming a rack 8, are cut into the lower portion of the upper rod 3. Side plates 55 are fixed to the sides of base plate 24 of probe 16 as by screws. Two cross-plates 66, only one of which can be seen in Fig. 1, extend between the two side edges of side plates 5-5 and are fixed thereto as by screws. Cross-plates 6-6 each have two holes therein through which pass respectively the rods 3-4. The rods 34 make a tight, sliding fit with the holes in cross-plates 66, so that the base plate is rigidly and precisely held a relatively great output for a relatively low perturbation in the wave guide.
In exploring the electrical condition existing in a wave guide transmitting electromagnetic energy, it is customary to insert a probe through a slot in a wave guide wall to sample the energy. It is desirable to obtain a maximum output from the probe while causing a minimum perturbation, or. change of conditions, in the wave guide. This minimum perturbation is necessary so that the metering system connected to the probe will show accurately the wave guide condition, rather than a condition as appreciably altered by the insertion of the probe.
It can be shown that a pure conductance probe (one, the equivalent circuit of which can be represented by an admittance which is a real quantity) gives a maximum output for a given waveguide perturbation. However, in tuning a probe to achieve pure conductance, it is impossible to recognize the condition without using a second contiguous impedance meter. Due to this inconvenience, pure conductance probes are generally not used in practice. The probe isusually tuned for maximum output and hence to the condition of maximum conductance.
It is an object of this invention to provide a probe having a relatively great output for a relatively low perturbation in the wave guide.
It is a further object of this invention to provide a probe having a high impedance at the probe tip but a low attenuation throughout the remainder of the probe.
It is also an object of this invention to provide a probe in which a tunable transformer is provided adjacent the probe tip.
These and other objects will become apparent to those skilled in the art from a consideration of the following specification taken in connection with the accompanying drawing in which:
' Fig. l is a perspective view, partly schematic, showing in conjunction with awave guide and carriage, a standing wave detector embodying this invention;
Fig. 2 is an elevation view in section of the standing wave detector shown in Fig. l; and
Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the probe wire and tuning slug shown in section in Fig. 2.
As best seen in Fig. 1, a wave guide 10 transmits high frequency electromagnetic waves from the source 11 to the load 12, the source and load being connected to the wave guide 10 at opposite ends thereof. The impedance of the load 12 may be determined from a measurement of the standing wave existing in the wave guide 10.
A probe, indicated generally at 16, is held in relation towave guide 10 by a carriage, indicated generally at 2, so that the probe apron 18, best seen in Fig. 2, projects into the slot 13 of the wave guide 10, so that the probe wire 19 extends through the slot 13 and into the wave guide 10, and so that the probe 16 is not in contact with the wave guide 10. There is a small air gap between the against any movement transversely of the longitudinal axis of the wave guide 10. Knob 7 is fixed to a shaft, journalled in side plates 55, to which is also fixed a pinion, not shown, meshing with the rack 8 on rod 3.
A bushing 20 of dielectric material, preferably teflon, lines the hole in the apron 18 through which the electrically conducting wire 19 extends, preventing electrical contact between the wire 19 and the apron 1S. Apron 18 is an axially extending annular portion of the end closure 27 which closes the end of the tubular member 25. Tu bular member 25 and end closure27 are fastened to and are in electrical contactwith the base 24 of the probe.
Recessed in the bottom of the base 24 and concentric with the probe wire 19 and the apron 18 is a polyiron washer 23.
Tubular member 25 is peripherally connected to an aperture in the bottom broad wall of the output wave guide 26. Output wave guide 26 is terminated at one end by a movable shorting plunger 30 connected by threaded shaft 22 to the knob 31. Shaft 22 is in threaded engage ment with the end closure 39 of the wave guide 26. The plunger 30 is arranged for sliding movement in Wave guide 26. A half-wave choke 28 is provided at the inner end of plunger 30. The other end of output wave guide 26 feeds a detector 32 which may be a crystal and which i is connected to output meter M. Probe wire 19 is fixed concentrically in the end of, and is supported by, shaft 34 which is axially aligned therewith.
A tuning slug 35, which is a hollow cylinder, is supported by a hollow shaft 40 which surrounds and extends coaxially with the shaft 34. A washer 42 of dielectric material such as polystyrene, fits about the hollow shaft 40 at the top of the tuning slug 35 and is fixed therewith as by cementing. The lower end of the hollow shaft 40 is connected to the upper part of the tuning slug 35. The lower portion of the tuning slug 35 is split and makes a rubbing electric contact with wire 19.
As shown in Figs. 2 and 3, the tuning slug 35 is comprised of three pieces, an upper cylindrical portion 36, and two lower substantially semi-cylindrical portions 37 and 38, the upper parts of which are outwardly rabbeted to be press-fitted within the inwardly rabbeted lower edge of the portion 36. The bottom ends of the semi-cylindrical portions 37 and 38 are respectively substantially closed by semi-circular and end closures 48 and 49. These end closures have central matching recesses which clamp about the axially extending probe wire 19. Tuning slug 35 is made of a conducting material and preferably of one having resilient properties to exert a spring tension against the wire 19. The tuning slug 35 may be made of beryllium-copper. It will be understood that members 18, 27, 25 and 40 are constructed of a material having a relatively high electrical conductivity, such as brass.-
Hollow shaft 40 extends through an aperture in the upper side of the wave guide 26. This aperture is lined with a bushing terminating, in wave guide'26, in spring fingers 43 which makea rubbing contact with the hollow shaft 40. The hollow shaft 40 also passes through an aperture in the plate member 44 fixed to the top of the output wave guide 26, and terminates at its upper end in an externally thr eadedannulus 45 which is in threaded engagement with an internally threaded tuning nut. 46. The 'tu ning nut 46 is considerably longer axially. than the annulus 45. The axial motion of the nut 46 is confined between the plate. 44 and-the top of the yoke 47 which is fastened to the vplate 44 as by screws. Two small diameter rods 41-41 are provided, one on either side of the hollow shaft 40, parallel therewith and adjacent thereto. Rods41-41 are supported at their top ends by holes in theyoke 47 and at theirbottom ends by holesin the plate 44. Rods 41-41 pass through corresponding holes in the annulus 45, these latter holes being of slightly larger diameter than the rods.
The shaft :34 extends all the way through the hollow shaft 40andhas at its upper end an annular shoulder 50. The upper end of shaft 34 has a recess in which is seated a ball bearing 51. A spring 52 is incompression between the shoulder 50 and the upper end of an externally threaded annulus 53, which is fixed to'the top of the yoke .47 and is axially aligned with shaft 34.
A hollow knob 54'is internally threaded at its lower edge and is in threaded engagement with the annulus 53. A recess in the underside of the top of knob 54 forms the other seat for the ball bearing 51.
Retaining members 55 and 56, each having an inwardly turned top flange and each being connected at its bottom to either side of the yoke 47, are in alignment with the outwardly extendingshoulder 57 at the bottom periphery of the knob 54.
In the operation of the probe herein disclosed, the baseplate 24 is placed on top of the wave guide with the apron 18 extending into the slot 13. The base 24 and the apron 18 are separated from the guide 10 by a small air gap maintained by the carriage 2. The axial extension of the apron 18 is arranged to be of such a length that its bottom edge is flush with the bottom edge of the slot 13. Probe 16 is moved as desired along the slot 13by turning knob 7 of carriage 2.
The oscillator 11 sends radio frequency waves through the wave guide 10 to the load 12. Probe wire 19 is extended into the wave guide 10 by manipulation of the member 54. Probe wire 19 may be completely Withdrawn from the interior of the wave guide 10 by turning knob.54 to its uppermost position against the retaining members 55 and 56. Probe wire 19 may be extended into the Wave guide 10 to the fullest extent by screwing the knob 54 down tight against the spring 52. The ballbearing 51 provides a turning contact of little friction between the knob 54 and the shaft 34. The axial movement of the knob 54 is transmitted through the shaft 34 to the wire 19.
With the probe .in a selected position along the slot 13, the tuning slug 35 is axially positioned by the tuning nut 46' for maximum pickup as delivered to the detector 32 and indicated by. meter M. As the tuning nut 46 is turned in its restricted axial position, the threaded annulus 45 in engagement therewith is caused to be raised or lowered and to transmit this axial motion through the hollow shaft 40 to the tuning slug 35. The rods 41 41,prevent the shaft 40 from turning. As the tuning slug 35 is adjusted axially, its bottom closures 48 and 49 make good electrical contact with the wire 19. Spring fingers 43 makegood electrical contact between hollow shaft40 andthe upper face of the output wave guide 26.
It will be seen that avcoaxial line having an outer conductor and an inner conductor consisting successively of the probe wire 19, the tuning slug and the hollow shaft transmits electrical energy from the wave guide 10 into the output wave guide 26. The stepped ridge 33 matc es t e impedance of t e upper end of t coaxial I line to that of the wave guide 26. Washer 42 serves to center the tuning slug 35 within the outerv conductorlS. Polyiron washer 23 embedded in the base 24 of the probe 16 prevents energy from the wave guide 10 from escaping between the base 24 and the top of wave guide 10 to affect the reading of the meter. Polyiron washer 23 causes a low impedance to be presented between apron 18 and wave guide 10.
The approximate normalized maximum conductance of the probe can be represented as and S the approximate perturbation VSWR caused in the wave guide 10 by the probe when the condition of maximum conductance exists is given by the equation where the symbols used in Equations 1- and 2 represents g max:
. the following quantities:
S =theVSWR between the probe wire19=and the tubular member 25 R =the characteristic impedance looking into the coaxial line comprised of wire 19 and tubular member 25 R' =.the characteristic impedance of the wave guide 10 X =thenormalized capacitance between the probe wire 19 and the opposite broad face of the wave guide 10.
X =the normalized capacitance between the probe wire 19 and the apron 18.
If S is to be is limited to .a small range of values, then S must be quite large. It can be. shown that the equations for a pure conductance probe substantially are satisfied by making S large. As is known in the art, minimum perturbation for a given amount of coupling is produced in a wave guide when a pure conductance probe is utilized. Thus, the above mathematical analysis indicates, and'experiment confirms, that a high VSWR is necessary between the probe wire 19 and the tubular member 25-2to achieve the lowest possible perturbation VSWR in the guide 10 consistent with that value of coupling produced by the magnitudeof S However, if too high a value of VSWR between probe wire 19 and tubular member 25 is achieved, the probe coupling will be lowered to an intolerable degree and insufficient power will'be passed by the probe to the crystal 32.
The following equation. approximately expresses the relation of the pertinent impedances to the VSWR (S between the probe wire 19 and the tubular member 25:
where Z is the normalized characteristic impedance of the line .compesed of the outer eondu ter .15 and theheh low shaft 40, where Z is the normalized characteristic impedance of the coaxial line composed of the outer conductor 25 and the tuning slug 35, and where Z is the normalized characteristic impedance of the coaxial line composed of the probe wire 19 and the outer conductor 25.
In designing the probe, 8,, the probe tip VSWR, can be assumed from a consideration of resulting probe coupling (g max) and wave guide perturbation S as shown by Equations 1 and 2 or of graphs drawn therefrom. The impedance, and then the dimensions, of the coaxial lines 4045, 35--25, and 19-25 can be found by substituting the assumed value for S and one or more assumed values for the impedances Z01, Z and Z in Equation 3. The tuning slug 35 is a quarter Wave transformer and is approximately one-quarter wavelength (in the coaxial line) in its longitudinal dimension.
If the design first arrived at by this method is unsatisfactory, the design can be altered until the resulting values for probe coupling, wave guide perturbation and probe dimensions, as indicated by Equations 1, 2, and 3 are satisfactory.
It will be noted that this method of fixing the diameter of the tuning slug 35 does not fully take into consideration the impedance of the line composed of the probe wire 19 and the apron 18, treating this impedance as a lumped capacitance. However, it will be found that a full consideration of this factor and other contributing ones do not materially affect the resulting deslgn.
A probe constructed in accordance with the teaching of this specification was operated successfully in frequencies between 7000 and 10000 megacycles. The probe wire 19 was music wire having a diameter of .013 inch. The inside diameter of the tubular member 25 was .266 inch. The outside diameter of the tuning slug 35 was .23 inch. The hollow shaft 40 had an outside diameter of .063 inch. The axial length of the bushing 20 was approximately 1 wavelength in the line. The distance between the bottom of tuning slug 35 and the top of end closure 27 varied in use but was around wavelength in the line. This probe had a tip VSWR (8, of 200 and the characteristic impedances of the coaxial lines 4025, 3525, 19-25, and 1918 were respectively 87, 9, 181, and 45 ohms.
In designing the probe, it must be considered that the characteristic impedance of the coaxial line formed by probe wire 19 and apron 18, should be made as large as possible to maximize S the VSWR into the detecting element necessary to achieve a given probe conductance g. This can be accomplished by reducing the diameter of the probe wire and extending it further into the wave guide or by increasing the diameter of the probe apron 18. The probe wire diameter cannot be reduced indefinitely due to physical limitations. The probe apron diameter cannot be increased indefinitely as the wide slot in the wave guide will cause undesired perturbation. A reasonable clearance must be provided between slug 35 and tubular member 25 to prevent dust from providing a conducting path between members 35 and 25.
It will be seen that the probe construction herein disclosed causes a minimum perturbation in the Wave guide 10 by giving a high VSWR at the probe tip and yet by the use of a quarter wave transformer 35 reduces the VSWR and the resulting attenuation throughout the rest of the probe producing a probe giving optimum output for a minimum perturbation in the Wave guide 10.
Since many changes could be made in the above construction and many apparently widely diiferent embodiments of this invention could be made without departing from the scope thereof, it is intended that all matter contained in the above description or shown in the accompanying drawings shall be interpreted as illustrative and not in a limiting sense.

Collin Hansen, a young editor of Christianity Today, observed this trend and decided to investigate it. CT had recently published a cover story featuring the emerging church. But he found he just could not identify with this group of people. In the Prologue of his new book, Young, Restless, Reformed: A Journalist's Journey with the New Calvinists, he discusses the genesis of this book:
The talk about emerging Christians put me in a difficult spot. As the youngest CT editor, I should have known more about this up-and-coming group. On the contrary, I didn't know anyone who was emerging, even though my friends and I had recently experienced the fruits of postmodern relativism in college. We had witnessed the complete breakdown of moral authority and heard apathetic responses to Christian truth claims when we shared from the Four Spiritual Laws booklet.Read more ›
Young, Restless, Reformed is Hansen's attempt to answer that question. He journeys around the country trying to figure out where all of these Calvinists are coming from, and why. He has conversations with Mark Driscoll, John Piper, Steve Lawson, C. J. Mahaney, Ligon Duncan, Rick Holland and many others. He asks them all this question: "Where does this new generation of Calvinists come from?" and their are surprising. He talks with dozens of students who fit this new generation of Reformed Christian, and this book tells their stories.
Despite the anecdotal nature of the book (no hard statistics here), some conclusions do emerge. High school grads who are actually Christians and who do manage to escape their cheesy youth group realize very quickly that they do not have adequate answers to explain the basics of their faith, much less to stand up to their secular professors. When they reach the point of realizing they don't have the answers, they generally find someone who does, and this person (or book, or CD) is usually unashamedly Reformed.Read more ›
"While the Emergent 'conversation' gets a lot of press for its appeal to the young, the new Reformed movement may be a larger and more pervasive phenomenon. It certainly has a much stronger institutional base. I traveled to some of the movement's leading churches and institutions and talked to theologians, pastors, and parishioners, trying to understand Calvinism's new appeal and how it is changing American churches."
The article, and this book, are the result of a two-year journey to learn about what appeared to be a resurgence of Calvinism in America. Hansen traveled to Passion Conference in Atlanta, John Piper's home and church in Minneapolis, The Jonathan Edwards Center at Yale University, Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, Kentucky, Mars Hill Church in Seattle, and more.
Hansen discovered thriving Calvinistic ministries that focused on theology and doctrine, as well as young people who couldn't get enough of writers like John Piper, John Owen, and Jonathan Edwards. It's a diverse movement, somewhat disconnected, and often controversial. It's also not flashy. "I tell people we're a really boring ministry," one leader said. "If God is not your attraction, you'll be bored."
Young, Restless, Reformed serves as an introduction to the new Calvinists in America. If you belong to this group, there won't be a lot in this book that's new. If you aren't part of this group, or aren't part of the American scene (like me), then this book will introduce you to what's been happening.Read more ›

I have a problem that I'm hoping you can help with.
I'm wondering if there is a way to use superglobals to authenticate users for PHP pages?
Here's my situation:
- All users will be accessing my page(S) from our work network and have been authenticated using their Windows passwords.
- I don't have access to those passwords, so I can't ask them to authenticate using them.
- I'd rather not ask the users to remember another pw.
I want the page to be able to do things like: - Say "Hi Tev, welcome to your portal". - Automatically pull the username so the page can automatically display their stats/calls/tickets
I thought that REMOTE_USER would be able to do this, but my apache server (which I'm an admin for) doesn't seem to return this. Do I need to change something in my Apache configuration?
I've looked through a lot of PHP and Apache forums, but haven't been able to find an answer.
On behalf of requester:
Thanks for the responses, but we might not be able to connect to the LDAP Active directory Server.
In php.ini, we set
register_globals = On
When running
print_r($GLOBALS) on our server, under
[_SERVER] => Array,
[REMOTE_USER] is missing.
[REMOTE_ADDR] is present alright, but not
Is there any way to add it?

Third Trimester 1stTrimester 2ndTrimester
43 days to go...
Your baby today
Your baby is now capable of producing all of the enzymes that will process food within the digestive tract. If born early, your baby could now feed normally although some will still require help since they need to fine tune the coordination of their suckling reflexes.
Your baby is naturally nourished inside the uterus and her own digestive tract is now functioning well.
Eighty percent of your baby's energy needs are met by carbohydrates, mainly in the form of glucose, and almost 20 percent from protein. Fat is not used as an energy source but it is used for growth. All mineral, vitamin, and calcium needs are met from your own reserves and your diet. Two possible exceptions are iron and folate, a water-soluble vitamin that occurs naturally in foods; folic acid is the synthetic version. Folate does not easily cross the placenta to reach and nourish your baby. Your own iron reserves may already be low if you eat little or no red meat or if this pregnancy has followed on quickly from your last one. Your baby needs iron (and folate) to make red blood cells and because only a small percentage of iron in your diet is absorbed, iron supplementation is often recommended at this stage.
While all of your baby's gut structures were present by 20 weeks, it is not until this stage that all the enzymes needed for digestion are activated and the absorptive surface of the gut is established to a degree that would enable your baby to feed if she were born now.
Getting up from lying down
After you've exercised on the floor, or have been resting in bed, you may find it a struggle to get up from lying down. This simple maneuver can put a strain on your abdominal muscles, which are stretched, and it isn't helped by your altered center of gravity. The technique shown below was originally devised by yoga teachers to help you get up safely from a lying down position.
As with any strenuous maneuvers at this stage of pregnancy, always take your time and remember to breathe slowly and deeply throughout.

Skip to comments.Plans to evacuate Tampa Bay area are in place
Posted on 06/25/2010 6:15:13 AM PDT by LibFreeUSA
As FEMA and other government agencies prepare for what is now being called the worst oil spill disaster in history, plans to evacuate the Tampa Bay area are in place.
The plans would be announced in the event of a controlled burn of surface oil in the Gulf of Mexico, or if wind or other conditions are expected to take toxic fumes through Tampa Bay.
This practice has been used by the US Forestry service, when fire and smoke threaten the health and well being of people.
The elderly and those with respiratory problems would be more susceptible to health risks, in the event of a controlled burn.
Estimates of the rate of BPs Deepwater Horizon oil spill have varied. Independent scientists now suggest that the true spill rate, before the riser pipe was cut off in June, was between 20,000 and 50,000 barrels a day.
Since the April 20th explosion, which resulted in the sinking of the Deepwater Horizon rig, there have been more than a million gallons of chemicals poured into the Gulf of Mexico in efforts to break up the spill. The chemicals have come under scrutiny because of their own toxic nature.
It is not certain if the massive slick will have to be set on fire near Tampa Bay, but the possibility has not been ruled out.
BP has been using controlled burns as a way to contain the oil spill since the crisis began. Plans to do additional controlled burns around the well site were announced by Coast Guard Admiral Thad Allen at a briefing in early June.
OBAMA's GULF SPILL RESPONSE????...
"Yeah right, gotta work harder on that 'golf thing'...
"The plans would be announced in the event of a controlled burn of surface oil in the Gulf of Mexico, or if wind or other conditions are expected to take toxic fumes through Tampa Bay."
Music to read this post by...
Hey Con-gre$$? Where is that 20B BP document the Barry'$ "This Is Not a Cap" tyrannical branch agreed to? Check$ & Balance$?
We've had salt water intrusions before - but not so much as to ruin the water supply. Would oil destroy fresh water - making Florida unlivable?
We've had salt water intrusions before - but not so much as to ruin the water supply. Would oil destroy fresh water - making Florida unlivable?
The guy second from left in the first picture is Dr. Ed Overton of LSU. PhD Analytical Chemist. Probably the most knowledgable person on the boat about chemicals and their effects (and likewise oil spills and THEIR effects). Note that he is NOT wearing a respirator. So much for all the hoopla about how toxic the air above the spill is.
My first thought as well; Tampa relies to some extent on reverse osmosis for drinking water. This could be a MAJOR problem. Meanwhile, however, oil skimmers in Europe that were made available remain idle across the Atlantic.
I'm sure BO/BS and FEMA will be more than happy to open up FEMA detention centers... er ah I mean shelters to help the good people of Tampa Bay.
What if the burn-off gets out of control?
Worst-case scenario is this thing gushes for decades, so could it possibly burn for decades?
If oil got into the aquifers, I would guess that our freshwater supply is toast. Florida would become a wasteland.
I live in Tampa, its a bit humid (150%) but the only other bad thing in the air is too many bugs.
Thanks, I hadn't noticed that.
What I find note worthy is that everyone does have a breathing apparatus with them.
I'm here on the coast and don't have one. I'm beginning to think maybe I should have one available.
Do you know if anyone is even looking at the possibility? Florida's dependent on the system of aquifers - and if they go down - it's over. South Florida would be uninhabitable...
Yep, guess our real estate is getting ready to take another dive.
Is it true that in Florida, the aquifers are especially close to the surface?
What I hate is the first sentence of the article: As FEMA and other government agencies prepare for what is now being called the worst oil spill disaster in history, plans to evacuate the Tampa Bay area are in place. FEMA? Who's FEMA ... can anybody name their "director?" And to see a scare "line" like this. Like they're going to see some oil coming ashore and evacuate Tampa Bay ... geez a bunch of media hype. Imagine, if people thought the next day after passage that health care was free, what would those people think if they read this line? This isn't "smoke" and talking about the respiratory problems is just going to line up a bunch of willing clients and sheister lawyers to tap BP's slush fund for "damages." Irresponsible journalism!
In some parts of the state. Aquifers are fed from freshwater rivers and streams which are fed from the seas. If the seas become polluted, the aquifers, while last in line, will eventually become contaminated as well. Rain also feeds the aquifers, but they're primarily filled from the freshwater sources.
In places like Weeki Watchee springs, the aquifers are very near to the surface and divers can actually go through limestone cave systems to get into them.
I'm sure it's the last thing on their mind. I'll talk to my cousin. She's a graduate student at USF and works at SWFWMD.
http://fl.water.usgs.gov/Miami/online_reports/wri964285/ I'm worried about (3)(3) upward movement of connate saltwater (water remaining from the time of deposition) from lower formations due to well-field withdrawals.
More proper music for anything to do with the muslim president:
Thanks rarestia ... if there's a chance - it has to be looked at...
And they're waiting for it to get closer to Tampa....because????
Sounds tin foilly...
ping a ling a ding dong
Worst case? Not even close...
Im still holding out for OilBama to try to blast it shut with a nuke.
It is the worst possible solution, the one most damaging to America, and therefore the one The One is most apt to use.
With luck he can diddle daddle long enough to have to do it in a blind panic just before a major hurricane lances into Americas soft white underbelly.
Such a nuke would:
Replace an 18 dia pipe leaking oil with a quarter mile wide crater over bedrock shattered all the way down to the full oil deposit.And as a special bonus he could then use the results to ban all oil drilling and eliminate Americas entire nuclear arsenal.
Violate international nuclear weapon treaties.
Flash abundant amounts of sea water into steam both by the bomb itself and the exposed hot crust/magma.
Provide a thermal turbocharge boost to convert an ordinary hurricane into a continent crossing hypercane.
Inundate Americas breadbasket farmland with a deluge of radioactive, oily saltwater all the way up to the Canadian border.
And who knows? It might even shake loose the New Madrid fault.
From his viewpoint, whats not to love?
What are you hearing about this? Is this a likely scenario?
I can get to water with a shovel in less than a minute.
Nothing like a little sensationalism on a Friday morning...
The Dems won't win Florida for the next 100 years!!!
First I have heard about this. With this group of idiots running it, it wouldn't surprise me.
Facts! Facts! Facts!
I say to hell with facts!
"They should have used oil booms, berms and barges to prevent the oil from reaching land in the first place.
They had two months to prepare for this! They failed."
"O" was busy golfing and posturing angrily for the cameras.
The entire world is watching this American economic/environmental/political train wreck and also taking the measure (as they should have done previously) of this guy who is supposed to have a grip on things.
With every passing instant and with every delinquent, ill-conceived, ruinous and infuriating response, "O" is looking more and more like the arrogant, inexperienced and incompetent bungler that cautious Conservatives have known him to be from the start.
Like Russia, which is still reeling from their very public and dramatic political/military reverses in Afghanistan- this is an equally dramatic and public embarrassment for the American reputation for resourcefulness and technological superiority, and which we will be along time living down.
In his first term of office President Bush was confronted with the terrorist assaults on America. He surprised many and shocked some with his decisiveness and resolution. Even enemies of the Bush had to commend the resolute approach taken by a man they had challenged as having NO foreign policy experience.
By contrast, O is not surprising ANY Conservatives but I am sure that many Liberals are secretly dissatisfied and frustrated with the guy they supported.
You're right - there are plenty of worst-case scenarios out there (not sure if "worst" is really applicable anymore, since there doesn't seem to really be a "good" outcome anywhere).
The question is which does the gummint choose - so far it seems content to purposefully let it ride in the hope they can speechify themselves into a position of further power. In order to get power, they need to weaken regular Americans, and they've got quite a menu of options from which to choose.
"Worst-case scenario is this thing gushes for decades, so could it possibly burn for decades?"
You may be familiar with a coal seam in PA that has been burning for a looooong time now.
But, I'm certainly glad that the EPA and FEMA agree that no one with a breathing condition will be affected in any way, shape, or form if everyone follows their evacuation (shut down FL's economy) directive.
You might note that Disney World is directly down wind of Tampa Bay. No problem, there. No sirree. The gub'm'n't done tole me so.
We really need to get rid of this worthless pos.
ROFLMAO!!!! As much as I hate to say it, this situation could stand a little humor injected. One would begin to think that this website was run by Dr. Doom instead of Jim Robinson.
Very appropriate! Thanks.
I suspect that they are a lot closer to the main spill site than you are ever likely to be. I VERY seriously doubt that you have anything to worry about. By the time anything in the gas phase gets to where you are (even if you live right on the beach), it will have been diluted well below any danger point.
I don't know what they think, but in my opinion it's total BS.
You would have more fumes coming off a freshly laid asphalt road than you would have coming off of the oil that is washing up after having been baking in the sun for weeks.
LMAO! Nice placement of looter guy, 'gunner!
LMAO! Nice placement of looter guy, 'gunner!
Then, also, there's some talk that the BP oil rig had hit a huge reservoir of methane, and/OR that as sea life dies from the oil that the decomposition creates high levels of methane.
Some reports state that levels of methane are ONE MILLION TIMES higher than normal.
I have NO idea as to the veracity of this.

Wielding an arsenal of Rusk salon products, the stylists at Gallery Allure cut hair into modern asymmetrical bobs, short layers, and even mohawks. The adept team also styles hair into classic shapes and can paint locks with face-framing highlights in both subtle blond hues and eye-popping reds. For unruly waves, the team coats strands with a formaldehyde-free keratin treatment to allow clients to tame their hair more easily than thrusting it into a lion's mouth. Rusk's Deepshine Smooth reduces frizz by up to 75%, unwinds curls and waves by up to 30%, and lasts up to three months.

I dont think that ANYONE has a problem with filming an arrest, or even a fight. The problem is these wack jobs walk around filming cops doing nothing, yet there are drug houses and dealers in there neighborhoods.....do they record there activity and help prosecute them???? NO!!!! If your going to be all happy and gung ho about videotaping things, HELP STOP CRIME!!!!!
Why dont they go after criminals? No profit? Why dont they tape the dope dealers? There too afraid to get there asses kicked!! Go stick that camera in a criminals face and see what happens.
Just about everyone I know has had a bad experience with a cop, but they have also had good experiences. Does that mean that they should run around video taping them all the time.....ummmm no. The sad fact is that that retard cop that took the guys camera cost the city 40 k and gave those copwatch toolbags a boost that they didnt need.
I can see its another Reed love fest here. What has he done as mayor that is so great? The lake wood deal was in the works long before he came along, the cops that he hired were in the budget, and the additional hundred or so were provided by a grant, the search for a chief was a sham, and it is yet to be seen what is done with the pensions (I bet what ever it is will lead to millions in law suit expenses). So can someone point out what is so great? Im just not seeing it.

Pioneer Trail Cabin is a premiere retreat vacation home conveniently located in the heart of South Shore. This home is an authentic Tahoe cabin located on the same historic trail that once led the pony express, wagon trains bound for wealth to the Com stock Lode, and pioneers in search of the Wild West! To experience this cabin means to experience the very essence of Tahoe. Relax in complete privacy, under the sky among a canopy of pine and aspen in a pristine hot tub or wonder the area and view a tribute to our pioneering history. A genuine period trail wagon makes the perfect photo opportunity to commemorate your stay with your beloved family and friends. While on the ranch you will notice the magnificent gardens which are landscaped to a natural Tahoe setting with a lovely collection of Sierra natives. Step inside the cabin and prepare to be stunned. You will notice a tasteful blend of reclaimed redwood, cedar, pine, and earth gaged slate tile.
Pioneer cabin is easily accessible with a level entry and large parking area. The cabin is beautifully designed with 100 year old redwood floors reclaimed from century old farm houses. The beams and other cedar heart wood accents were all saved from old Tahoe cabins being demolished. Earthen slate tiles may be found through out the home. Although the cabin is immaculately clean you will feel comfortable and relaxed the moment you arrive. Do not let the term 'pioneer' fool you - this cabin is completely furnished and equipped with all the modern conveniences of your own home while keeping in the original spirit of the old west.
2 bikes available.....: For your summer fun two beach cruiser bicycles (his and hers) are available for your use!
B.Y.O.H. bring your own helmets!
A 'Lakeside Beach' pass is provided as well. Lakeside Beach is within walking distance from the cabin! A pass is required for entry to the private beach so don't forget it!
In closing we would like to share with you as owners of this home, we strive to make this cabin user friendly, functional, clean, comfortable, and relaxing for all of its' guests. We enjoy sharing memorable, quality, moments with each other, our friends & family. Pioneer Trail Cabin is conducive to this mindset of ours. It is a fun, warm, cozy cabin with great amenities. If you choose our home for your next vacation, we feel confident you will come away with wonderful memories that will last for years to come!!! You can trust your stay with us will be a good experience handled in a very professional manner. Welcome to Tahoe!
Jeri & Frank
We live in Tahoe year round. We own 2 Tahoe cabins we operate as vacation rentals. We personally handle every aspect of the rental (i.e. cleaning, booking, hot tub, gardens, marketing..) Our cabins are not in a property management program which allows us to control and maintain the strict standard to which we hold our properties. We strive to continually improve the quality of the experience for our guests. We are always available to lend a hand or help out with an unforeseen obstacle( i.e.jump a battery, help with chains, blown fuse, light bulb out, restaurant directions, emergency gift...)If you have special plans for someone (flowers,wine...) let us know how we can help. We love that kind of stuff. We hope you will give us the opportunity to share our cabin with you. We are confident you will very pleased with the accommodations and service. Sincerely, Frank and Jeri
We love Tahoe. We have a hard time imagining living anywhere else. We are invested in our community (through our businesses, our relationships, our properties and some day our children!) We want to share quality time in Tahoe with our family and friends who come to visit. Our goal is to have a place we can enjoy now and pass on to the future generations of our family later. We are honored and proud to be apart of this amazing property in Lake Tahoe.
Frank and I really love staying at the cabin. We've worked on Pioneer Trail Cabin for years and it is now what was once just a vision in our minds. We really appreciate and enjoy what we have created and we know you will too. We tend to have a morning soak in the hot tub with a cup of Joe. We cook on the grill, play cards, and garden. We ride our bikes. We 'people watch' and walk around down town. We plan and take day hikes and come back for wine by the fireplace. We walk for groceries and just about everything else. We host dinners at sunset and lunches at the picnic table. We sled and play in the snow (it's not just for the kids. right!) Staying at Pioneer Trail Cabin stimulates your sense of adventure while replenishing the soul. This home just feels good. We are confident you will enjoy your time at the cabin as thoroughly as we enjoy ours. Sincerely Frank and Jeri
The cabin was perfect for my family. The cabin decor is simple but fits. It makes you feel at home. The cabin is close to all activities. The owners are super nice individuals. We are looking at other opportunities to visit Lake Tahoe based on our experience we had at the cabin and inside Lake Tahoe area. I totally recommend this cabin
Enjoyed our brief stay at Pioneer Trail cabin. Beautifully appointed home, very convenient to main commercial area of South Lake Tahoe while remaining secluded and peaceful. Walking distance to most amenities. Would love to go back.
Excellent cabin, with everything you need. Location close to town and wonderfully appointed... We enjoyed our stay and would stay again
This was our 3rd time staying at the Pioneer Trail Cabin. 3 years in a row. We have begun to think of it as our own second/vacation home. While you are basically 'downtown', it feels like you are away from everything when you are there. There is lots of privacy, and I love the way the house flows from inside to outside to the adorable back yard, which makes it feel larger than a 1-bedroom. We used the hot tub every evening and the BBQ 3 times.
Love it.
We spent 2 nights at this cabin and thoroughly enjoyed it. The cabin is very updated and the location from the town of South Lake Tahoe is excellent.....a 10 minute walk or 2 minute drive. Jeri did an excellent walk-through with us on arrival, explaining how everything worked. The cabin is well stocked with everything you need for even a long stay. The hot tub worked perfectly and was a great addition on the cool nights. Would definitely recommend it....we hope to stay here again when we return.
Had a wonderful time at the Pioneer Cabin! It was better than expected, pictures do not do it justice! I will be looking for a reason to go back.
The casinos and heavenly resort are located less than 1/2 mile from the cabin.
