The REAL REASON Behind the BP Oil Spill in the Gulf of Mexico - 2010 READ THIS: Dick Cheney's deregulation agenda is the real (underlying) reason / cause behind the US oil spill by British Petroleum (BP) in 2010 off the coast of Louisiana in the Gulf of Mexico. Deregulation coupled with lax government oversight (lackies appointed by Dick Cheney at the helm) lead to the omission of key safety features and protocols, a free pass for drilling licenses, emphasis on profit over safety, and absolutely NO PLAN for containment of blowouts. In addition, the courts in the Gulf States, are completely stacked with Republican appointees (like Feldman) with major investments in or connections with BIG OIL (see last paragraph). Must read: http://www.nytimes.com/2010/06/21/us/21blowout.html?hp=&pagewanted=all For example, George W Bush and Dick Cheney helped block a 2002/03 Bill that would have required the use of acoustic switches as a means to activate the blowout preventer (BOP). Also, BP did not want to lose an oil well (by activating the BOP); this would have cost them future profit in addition to the costs for exploration and preparation of the well. This is most evident when you look at attempts in the first month and a half: all of the post-blowout efforts have been focused on SAVING the well; it was only after more than a month before BP attempted "TOPKILL", which would have sealed the well. Lastly, US District Judge Martin Feldman, who overturned the temporary drilling ban on June 22, owns investments in Ocean Energy (Houston-based), Quicksilver Resources, Prospect Energy, Peabody Energy, Halliburton, Pengrowth Energy Trust, Atlas Energy Resources, Parker Drilling and others. Feldman is also a REAGAN appointee, in 1983. Conflict of interest or institutional corporate control over public policy? Any more doubts about who runs America? Hint: its not you, the citizens of America. Drill Baby, Drill! Spill Baby, Spill. Now, clean it the fock up!

Learn How to Clean Up Audio!-Noise Removal in Audacity AUDIO HERE, START LISTENING AT 0:30 seconds: http://sites.google.com/site/solvingtimeonyoutube/files/Newvoicefilecleanedup.mp3?attredirects=0&d=1 There was an issue with my microphone placement before, so the slightly better audio is up above. Have you ever recorded something on your digital camera or other device, then played it back and said, "Man, that sounds like ----."? Do wish you could get crystal clear, professional quality audio, without shelling out money for an expensive microphone? Good morning. Today, I'll show you how to clean up audio by removing unwanted noise 4 FREE in the Audacity audio editor. [Insert Stuff] Now, using these control buttons up here, identify which part of the waveform represents noise. Using your mouse, select a section of just completely pure noise, by clicking-and-dragging from the beginning of the pure noise to the end. Now click the Effect drop-down menu and select "Noise Removal..." from the choices below. In Step 1, click Get Noise Profile. You have now told the computer which parts of the audio are noise and which parts are not. You will need to set a new noise profile every time you open Audacity. Now select all the parts of the audio that you want the noise to be removed from, which is, in my case, all of it. Then, go back to the Noise Removal window in the Effect drop down menu. Use the slider to select how much noise you want filtered out. Use the preview button to preview what the audio will sound like. Once you are satisfied with how the preview sounds, click Remove Noise and Audacity will begin removing the noise from your audio. Sometimes Audacity may actually create some extra noise of its own, even if it gets rid of the old noise. If this happens, try selecting a smaller portion of your audio as your Noise Profile. Now, playback the audio and make adjustments as needed. Tags: audacity, audio, clean, cleanup, editor, improve, noise, quality, removal, sound, up 1 Downloads - Last from: (Your Blog here!) |

MIDWAY JOURNEY - Plastic Beach In the Greek mythology, Sisyphus was a king who was cursed to roll a huge boulder up a hill, only to watch it roll back down, and to repeat this throughout eternity. A beach cleanup on Midway Atoll made us feel just like Sisyphus. There are millions of tons of plastics present in our oceans, and these are constantly fragmenting into smaller and smaller pieces which are scattered throughout the water column and present, in different densities, throughout all the worlds oceans. Contrary to what many people believe, there are no visible islands of trash anywhere --even if some areas, the gyres, accumulate higher densities of plastic pollution. In actuality, what is happening is much more complex and scary: our oceans are becoming a planetary soup laced with plastic. To make thing worse, these tiny pieces of plastic are extremely powerful chemical accumulators for organic persistent pollutants present in ambient sea water such as DDE's and PCB's. The whole food chain, from filtering invertebrates to marine mammals are eating plastic and /or other animals who have plastic in them. This means that we are. Like the albatrosses on Midway, we carry the garbage patch inside of us. Cleaning up this mess is not feasible, technically or economically. Even if all the boats in the world were put to the task somehow, the cleanup would not only remove the plastics but also the plankton, which is the base of the food chain, and is responsible for capturing half of the CO2 of our atmosphere and generating half of the oxygen we need to breathe. But even if this problem was solved too somehow, the amount of plastic that we could capture, at an immense cost, would be a drop in the bucket as compared to the amount that flows into the ocean every day. No matter how hard we push, in terms of technology or money, the boulder will be rolling back down the hill, throughout eternity, unless we stop putting more plastics into our environment. The good news is that we can do this. We can do this now. We need to start a social movement that spreads virally and creates a critical mass of concerned citizens who pledge to move away from our disposable habits, and who raise their voice to reject and reverse a throwaway culture that might be profitable, but whose consequences are intolerable.
