TB has a mental block, so it is useless trying to make him see some sense.
@islandgal246: “TB has a mental block, so it is useless trying to make him see some sense.
But to twist what one of my favourite authors (J. M. Straczynski) wrote for one of his characters (John Sheridan):
“You just have to say ‘you’re possibly wrong’ one more time than they can say ‘I am unquestionably correct’.
Shame on those who are calling Terence mentally ill. Terence is not mentally ill. He’s just differently able.
Earthquake Predicted for California This Saturday (video)
Jim Berkland has a track record of predicting earthquakes like the 1989 Loma Prieta shaker in San Francisco for the World Series. Now, according to Berkland, we’re due for another one. How does he know? The gravitational pull of the moon is at it’s strongest in many years, with the "Super Moon", caused by the closest approach of the moon…

LOL
MME….. the Bushman thought that you were busy inventing the ‘new scientific energy source’ that you expected to save the world for us….
Bushie will see if it is possible to go back in time and review that prognosis of yours for you… LOL.

From March 21-25 @ Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, in the likelihood of a major THREAT* assessment – they will certainly be prepared for it…
QUESTION GUYS IN THESE “glorified” AGENCIES:
What are you NOT* telling us?
And who will tell us the TRUTH?

There was a small earthquake in England of all places over Christmas, followed shortly by one in Germany.
I have been receiving emails from the USGS of notification of seismic events in 2007 just after Arch Cot and have never seen one reported in England.
My gut tells me there has been an increase worldwide but statisticians may say different.
Within the region, I have seen reports on 24 events for 2011.
The number doesn’t seem out of kilter with what I have been seeing but will check my database on the past years back to Arch Cot and see what I find.
The most active region is the Pacific Ring of Fire. Alaska is crazy but because few people live there not much to do is made about it.

@All…
I’m going to go a little “over the top” here, and ask a very serious question…
Japan has a culture, and a history, which teaches its people that “The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few. Or the one”. (Yes, this was said by Spoke in Star Trek II — the Vulcans were modelled by Gene Roddenberry after the Japanese.)
So, my question is, why have not brave individuals stepped up and volunteered to carry fire hoses to the cooling pools, knowing it will be the last thing (but a very important thing) they do?
Chris,
A one word answer to your question …. Hiroshima.
For me the question is how come Japan even has nuclear reactors?
@John: “A one word answer to your question …. Hiroshima.
That doesn’t actually answer my question.
@John: “For me the question is how come Japan even has nuclear reactors?
A worthy question. One which Japan questioned itself about in the past, and will likely be thinking about deeply in the future.
Expect Japan to get *really serious* about solar energy in the near future (and when the Japanese get serious, pay attention)….
Chris; Re. your question why have not brave individuals stepped up and volunteered to carry fire hoses to the cooling pools, knowing it will be the last thing (but a very important thing) they do?
Hasn’t this been done? Aren’t there 50+ heroes bravely committing hara kiri slowly, day by day, in doing the same thing you suggest. Or do you think that a bucket brigade of thousands will do a better job?
@checkit-out: “Hasn’t this been done? Aren’t there 50+ heroes bravely committing hara kiri slowly, day by day, in doing the same thing you suggest.
Not to the best of my knowledge (not taking away from those who are actually risking their lives on-site).
Harakiri is suicide by way of cutting the belly with a sword.
What these workers are being asked to do is to die by a thousand cuts…
What I am suggest is that few need to step forward and perform a Kamikaze act. To trade their lives for an act against the enemy.
It would take three people per cooling pool — one helicopter pilot to drop a fire hose into the building.
One worker inside the building to place the end of the hose inside the pool.
One worker on the ground to attach the fire hose to a pumping truck which would also place another hose into the ocean to replenish the truck’s water supply.
All these workers would likely die within weeks.
Just like those who volunteered to drop sand and concrete on Chernobyl….
@ CH
A leading nuclear scientist has been warning of the possibility of initiating a spontaneous reaction by just dumping water on the spent rods.
Additionally, your plan of just pumping water for cooling and replenishing from the sea is a brilliant one – if you were a terrorist. The radioactivity from the contaminated outflow would create exactly the scenario that the containment chambers were designed to prevent.
There are no good solutions here.
Best case is concrete and sand a la Chernobyl…..
….worst case is …unthinkable.
World media has started to report that radioactive particles are being detected in California space.
@BT, so what is the worst case scenario?
@BT…
Let’s think about this for just a second…
Currently the Japanese are dumping sea water onto these exposed “spent” fuel rods by way of helicopters and fire trucks…
Imagine if you had a hose into these ponds…
Imagine if you might be able to add, for example, boron into the solution.
What might happen then?
@Chris
I think still far away from actually sending in people. One of harsh realities is that weather while hampering the relief effort is helping somewhat in trying to cooling reactor. If this accident had taken places in summer I fear all the reactors would have already meltdown and we would indeed be looking @ Chernobyl * 6 . one wonder why hardened uvs haven’t been sent to inside the reactors already maybe even carry the hoses. currently the best solution is still restoring power to pump to circulate water.
@anthony: “One of harsh realities is that weather while hampering the relief effort is helping somewhat in trying to cooling reactor.
You have no idea what you’re talking about.
Hi Chris; You’re right.
I should have written Kamikaze instead of Harikiri. But thats what one gets when alzheimers seems to be slowly creeping up and one doesn’t check every word one uses with google. I think I was in the ballpark though.
Re. your specific kamikaze suggestion for combatting the meltdown problem. It sounds OK to me but I wonder why such a simple solution has not been tried by the Japanese authorities or why one of the US or Japanese high tech firms have not tried a quick modification of a robot to at least do the most dangerous aspect of the job, i.e. putting hoses inside the cooling systems of the reactors.
I wonder if it might not be a bit more complicated out there than you or I think.
In the meantime the workers are committing kamikaze on a daily basis. I think you should give them more credit as, imho, it is most unlikely that they could have been ordered to do what they are doing by the authorities although I read somehere that the authorities raised the allowable exposure to radiation limits presumably to facilitate the workers working in much higher than normal radiation levels.
They have to be volunteers and no less heroes than the Chernobyl workers or the 911 firemen.
@checkit-out: “…or why one of the US or Japanese high tech firms have not tried a quick modification of a robot to at least do the most dangerous aspect of the job
An excellent question.
Japan’s Sony, for example, took pride in showing a robot which could dance. Could walk. Could play a violin…
Why doesn’t Sony put forward a robot to do the dangerous job which needs to be done here and now?
Or, are only humans that robust?
@Chris
Is not the temperature around fukushima reactor -1c. Have not the some of these reactor loss their outside containment. would not a temperature 30c help in aid the evaporation in the containment tanks.
@ check it out
without electricity to pump the hoses . What good would the-hoses do! The solution they are using with the helicopter is the only one feasible at this point. until electrical power can or is generated into the plant.
@anthony: “Have not the some of these reactor loss their outside containment. would not a temperature 30c help in aid the evaporation in the containment tanks.
Let me please be very explicit.
Sigh….
Hi ac;
I thought I heard Rachel Maddow on MSNBC last night say that they had restored electricity to 2 of the reactors. I might be mistaken, however.
@ Chris
Presumably you understand this situation well enough to realize that the business of pumping seawater is equivalent to the scenario where a drowning man grabs for a straw…. what else would you have them do? tell us the truth …. and run.. ?
….so your fire hose proposal would be akin to grabbing on to a long straw….
What should they do…? …half of the concrete should already have been in place…..
@ David
What is the worse case scenario ( the unthinkable..?)
…..cancer, contamination of food and water, wars, famine and chaos on a scale never seen before….
Oh wait….. is this not what Terence, Zoe, GP et al have been predicting for some time now…?
Now do you see why it is unthinkable? …..
@ David
Re: Bushman’s Granny…. you know, she reached a point where events such a pneumonia which she would have easily shrugged off in her youth became a death sentence for her….
It is particularly ironic that, it is Japan, with her history- that would have been found wanting after building a huge nuclear complex, on a beach; in the most active earthquake / tsunami region on earth…
…self inflicted pneumonia?
@ check it out
Maybe miminal at best . !
anything relating to the fiasco coming out of Japan should be taken with a grain of salt. Like BP when such debacles occur, the last thing government and others would tell is the truth. Truth becomes obsolete.
@TMB ”A RECIPE FOR A TOWERING (nuclear) INFERNO IN NORTH AFRICA, THE MIDDLE EAST & definitely a cataclysmic bombing of ISRAEL by none other than our good friend Mahmoud!!! Stay tuned FOLKS…. It’s starting to look wonderfully prophetic!!!”
—-
A few points.
One, that the West are crazy to be considering this.
Two, that if you think that Israel CAN be bombed, ‘just so’, you are nutty, most of the Middle East will be obliterated before that happens, I know of what I speak.
Thirdly, ‘wonderfully prophetic’? What a peculiar adjective!
Yes, the world is going to hell in a handbasket, as we, including Straight Talk, Green Monkey, Bush Tea have been saying for the last four/five years and we need to get our agriculture up and running ASAP, but again, we have said that for years now.
The proverbial is hitting the fan all like now, not to mention round two of the US economic blowout sitll to come and the Government is still playing woopsie-doosie with the national resources.
Not funny and definitely not suited to the adjective of ‘wonderfully’.
As for leaders building bunkers. No wonder, a bucketload of trouble is a coming, as much from mankind, including economic unsustainability, as from natural disaster.
@ Crusoe
…try to see this from TMB’s perspective…..
What would you give as the chances that a book written centuries ago could claim to predict that a time such as ours would be the result of centuries of brilliant science, technology and social development?
…shoot man! even 6 years ago when OSA was spending left right and center in the multiple of millions, one was hard pressed to see anything but first world status ahead….
So if you had constructed your life around such a book for decades, would you not be equally excited at the apparent confirmation of your ‘faith’? …possibly dropping terms like “wonderfully prophetic…” …. the bush man might…
I was considering whether to post this or not, have decided to. This is factual, not making this up, not trying to alarm, just inform.
About two months ago, I was awoken in the night by a most terrifying but fascinating noise.
The noise was akin to thunker, but completely more robust, earthy and just plain powerful. Never ever in my life have I heard such.
I jumped out of bed, ran to my bedroom door and stood, thinking of whether to wake my family. In the instand of thought I also remember thinking that ‘oh…’ this is going to split the island in two, for it seemed to be coming from the ground.
It stopped just as suddenly, no reverbations. The noise was so intense, any more and it would have been past terrifying.
Now, I left it at that, only told my wife, not wanting to alarm anyone.
To my surprise, a friend then told me a few days later, of what he and his other family member had heard, at night, I assume the same night.
He then proceeded to identify the same noise, no reverb, like thunder, but past intense way past any thunder. He was listening to headphones at the time and it he heard the sound past the headphone sound. His family member came rushing down.
My friend lives one parish away.
On research on the internet, the sound we heard follows the description of an ‘earthquake boom’, which is generated by movement below the earth and comes from there.
I will say that it was a terrifying sound, like no other, power unadulterated and unleashed, really.
I do hope it does not recur.
Then again with so much damage done to the reactors most likely in wiring. Having electricity at this point would be of little help until these other problems are corrected if or when! this disaster have gone on for one week at to me little can be done to help this plant survive. the only solution is to entombed the plant with concrete .
