Watching Spain is like watching Arsenal. I keep shouting SHOOT! But they pass. Beautifully. #
For old time's sake, one more. I shall be orange for this evening, but don't mind either way. A great game is all I ask for really… #
And that my dears, is that… #

Spain vs Holland – a dream final where I'm happy either way! #
Dear ITV, just because it's not Total Football it doesn't mean it's ugly. They'd still pass it around almost anyone else. Go Holland! #

My thoughts exactly! http://sniffpetrol.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/PN_LEDlights.jpg #
Come on Holland! #
It's like asking me to pick between Peterborough & Blackpool but for sweepstake purposes (and their football) I'm backing Argentina today. #

Can we have Steve McClaren back please? England to win in Brazil 2014! Or something… #
NOT HESKEY! We need 3 goals and he doesn't score. Utter rubbish. Capello to walk? #
When do our defenders start playing? #
That was my brother's fault – he said that was going to happen.
(Note Cambridge circa-1991 methodology from Germany there) #
Come on England! #
Oh dear oh dear oh dear Italy… #
Stood outside watching the game through a window! #
I am afflicted with a wet gusset, and hope the knowledge of it will spur England on to victory! #

Ten Things Capello Must Do Now http://mm2.me/17 They make sense… #
What a load of rubbish! If I was one of those talking them up I'd be feeling silly now. #
Is it wrong to now be wanting Algeria to give England a bloody great wake-up call? #
It's just like watching Cambridge. #
#FRA vs #MEX : Heart – Mexico. Head – Draw/Mexico. #WorldCup #
#GRE vs #NGA : Heart – Nigeria. Head – Nigeria. #WorldCup #
I didn't do today did I? I'll be honest… #ARG vs #KOR : Heart – South Korea. Head – Argentina. #WorldCup #
Definitely a penalty but Suarez isn't a player I've taken a liking to. #
Well done Switzerland! #WorldCup #
If Switzerland hold this lead it'll be amazing! Talk about throwing the kitchen sink against a parked bus! #WorldCup #
Switzerland have got no chance against Spain. Oops! Northern Ireland all over again? #WorldCup #
After so many average performances so far this #WorldCup there's a lot of pressure on Spain to entertain. Not hopeful somehow. #
#RSA vs #URU : Heart – Uruguay. Head – Uruguay. #WorldCup #
#ESP vs #SUI : Heart – Spain. Head – Spain. #WorldCup #
#HON vs #CHI : Heart – Honduras. Head – Chile. #WorldCup #
Could I have an extra day in this week please? A Whursday or Thriday would be nice. Pretty please? #
Previous lowest goal scoring rate was Italy '90 with 2.21 goals-per-game. So far South Africa '10 is at 1.57 goals-per-game. Nice. #WorldCup #
What's the lowest average goals-per-game in a #WorldCup This one must be close… #
#BRA vs #PRK on #ITV : cue two hours of nauseating communist/samba stereotyping… #
Four days into the #WorldCup and my Head is beating my Heart 5-4… #
#BRA vs #PRK : Heart – Brazil. Head – Brazil. #WorldCup #
#CIV vs #POR : Heart – Ivory Coast. Head – Ivory Coast. #WorldCup #

Hmmm… #GER were rather good weren't they? Let's hope we don't come second in our group. #WorldCup #
Watching Germany vs Australia with loads of Germans. Not many times I want Australia to win but today… #
Nice to have decent coverage and commentary too for #SVN vs #ALG – thanks #BBCWorldCup #WorldCup #
Nothing to fear for #ENG here. MotD team were right to mock those blaming the ball – the last 2 goals have been goalie blunders! #WorldCup #
#GER vs #AUS : Heart – Australia. Head – Germany. #WorldCup #
#SRB vs #GHA : Heart – Ghana. Head – Draw. #WorldCup #
Right! #ALG vs #SVN : Heart – Slovenia. Head – Slovenia. #WorldCup #
Heskey. Wright-Phillips. Carragher. Green. "I'll only pick in-form players." said Capello once, just before his nose grew… #WorldCup #
Normal service is resumed. England were as poor as I feared they would be and we're no more contenders than USA are. Ah well. #WorldCup #
"Rooney again, picking up the mantle of finding Lennon." More #ITV genius… #WorldCup #
#ENG look more likely to score but with our carthorses at the back #USA could get us on the break. What we need now is a giraffe. #WorldCup #
Oh for Barnes & Waddle down the flanks… They had end product. #WorldCup #
Awful lot of yellow cards in this game. Not that dirty is it? #WorldCup #
Green may be 'experienced' (really?) but that counts for nothing if you're not good enough. Hart's been fantastic all season. Anyway… #
How many 'slips' is that for Green now? Don't like to say I told you so but I said Hart should have got the job… #ENG #WorldCup #
Did we get to see Damon Hill overtake Michael Schumacher for the first time during racing? No. Why? #ITV cut to an advert. Will they learn? #
RT @xannov: Dear @ITVfootball, I've made you a new poster. Please use it http://twitpic.com/1w7ynk #WorldCup #
#ITV HD plays an advert for Hyundai over the England goal! New levels of crapness but makes me happy for our 19" CRT antique TV! #
Will you please commentate #ITV rather than spouting random hyperbole. As ever Clive needn't be watching the game most of the time. #
Calm down #ITV calm down! #
They are contenders you know, Clive says so. Must be true. #PositiveaboutbollocksITVfootballcoverage #
Right! Going offline to concentrate on the game. Might text the odd bit of exasperation but otherwise…Come on #Eng land! #WorldCup #

Bloody hell, ITV's dragged out Keegan! Expect deep thoughts there then… "They need to play for the shirt!" #WorldCup #
Even though I knew Heskey was going to play it was still gut-wrenching disappointment when I saw his name on the team sheet. #WorldCup #
I wish the other home nations were in South Africa. #WorldCup #

Well that's another one down, next up it's #ENG #
Without moving from my makeshift desk in the front room I can see 6 #ENG flags. I'm not sure why… #
Messi may be good but I've got a better hairstyle… Still on track for that 6-5. #WorldCup #
Come on #NIG (6-5 winners against the odds following 90 minutes of genius from Messi & Co.!) #WorldCup #
Beyond BBC's naff graphics, Messi's quite good isn't he? #WorldCup #

PBS NewsHour Stream – Oil Spill Live Stream

foolhandy — Thu, 10 Jun 2010 21:55:02 +0000

On April 20th, an explosion on the Deepwater Horizon left 17 workers injured and 11 missing and presumed dead. Oil is spilling from a well 5000 feet below sea level, discharging over 500,000 gallons of crude oil a day (19,000 barrels), according to the USGS. It is estimated that more than 39 million gallons of crude oil have spewed into the Gulf so far.

Streaming Video by Ustream.TVYou can also see how big an area has been covered by oil here and here.

It makes me question a whole lot of things…
