Louisiana oil spill - o my god!!

Louisiana oil spill may be five times bigger than previously thought
Oil from the wrecked Deepwater Horizon rig is feared to be gushing into the Gulf of Mexico at five times the latest estimate of the US Coastguard, according to satellite imagery studied by industry experts.

The catastrophic explosion that caused an oil spill from a BP offshore drilling rig in the Gulf of Mexico has reached the shoreline early Friday morning. The leak is currently releasing 5,000 barrels of oil per day, and efforts to manage the spill with controlled burning, dispersal and plugging the leak were unsuccessful Thursday. This oil spill is on track to become the worst oil spill in history, surpassing the damage done by the Exxon Valdez tanker that spilled 11 million gallons of oil into the ecologically sensitive Prince William Sound in 1989. Unlike the Exxon Valdez tragedy, in which a tanker held a finite capacity of oil, BP's rig is tapped into an underwater oil well and could pump more oil into the ocean indefinitely until the leak is plugged.

The view from space indicates that the oil may be leaking at a rate of 25,000 barrels a day, dwarfing the figure of 5,000 barrels that US officials and the British oil giant BP have used in recent days.

That would mean that some nine million gallons may already have escaped from the underwater well following the April 20 explosion that killed 11 rig workers. It suggests the disaster will almost certainly prove greater than the Exxon Valdez tanker spill off Alaska in 1989, which released 11 million gallons and was the worst previous spill at sea.

You may feel that getting your ex back is an impossible task.

You may not realize that your courage and conviction can help you to get things back to where they were once before perhaps not as difficult as you think too. You can do this by following 3 important tips.
First, don't act desperate. Regardless of what you see on dating television or read in books, acting desperate does not help you in getting your ex back. In reality, it only drives your ex further and further emotionally away from you, they being glad they dumped you and your neediness. If your goal is to get back with your ex, then take some time for yourself away from your ex to collect your thoughts and come up with a viable plan that will help you to achieve that goal.
Second, identify the factors that caused your relationship to fail. By seeking out these factors, you can put every effort into working on the relationship and making it succeed where the relationship once failed. However, if it isn't addressed and you both decide to try again, the chances of the problem to resurface is likely. It is best to resolve any of these issues that are plaguing your relationship as soon as you can.
Third, don't make promises you can't or don't intend to keep. Lying does nothing for the relationship or for your character. Work on the problem that caused your relationship to suffer, work on tip two suggests you do, don't do changes for the short term. When a change is made short term, those problems that once were will resurface. You want a long term solution that doesn't leave room for big problems later on down the road. Working on them now and keeping up those variations you have made will keep you from backsliding.
By following the 3 tips above, you can work at getting your ex back but it is a continuous work in progress. Never assume that your relationship is back on track if you don't spend time working on it during the split.
