NYT reporting they've temporarily halted top kill, but the news shows aren't

aware of it I don't think. I wonder if they will address it in the BP news conference.

1. It wouldn't be the first time the M$M TV news models get the word well after the fact.

Gives you the warm fuzzies and a desire to keep your HAM radio on. ;)

2. I keep vowing to learn how to become a HAM radio operator. I'd better get on the stick. nt

4. Same here. I think I'm going to study for the tests and go

to the local meeting for guidance on equipment. Something tells me that our Home Owner's association may not be enthused by my selection of a big a** broadcasting antenna. ;)

BTW did you know you can get Apps (applications) that help you study on the iPhone (do an iTunes search) and other smart phones for the Ham Operators Exam? Too cool, aye? <geek alert! :silly:>

7. No -- didn't know about the Apps! I DO know, however, that the test is

not as stringent as it used to be. I like the sound of that!

3. If they stop before they're done, wouldn't the oil push all the mud out....

and negate all the work of the last 24 hours? :shrug:

6. That's what I would think--they should be throwing more and more mud

at it, if there's any chance the oil and gas are starting to overpower the weight of the mud.

8. The posters on TOD seem to think it may indicate a larger problem than

they're admitting to.

Wonder what BP will say during the presser? Wonder if they'll address this.

9. Just listened to the presser. No mud pumped for the last 16 hours....

Reading between the lines of BP Speak: The first attempt failed. Junk shot later tonight.
