Experts now say Gulf oil won't reach Outer Banks
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Published: July 30, 2010
RALEIGHResearchers who initially projected that oil from the Gulf of Mexico disaster could threaten the North Carolina coast now believe that there is little chance that it will.
Despite the months of oil gushing from a blown-out undersea BP well off the coast of Louisiana, there's no sign that any of it has migrated into the Loop Current that could carry the spill around Florida and into the Atlantic.
Experts said yesterday that a random current has helped contain the oil around the site where the Deepwater Horizon rig exploded and sank, triggering the spill.
"Without that, we probably would be in trouble," said Roy He, an associate professor at N.C. State University in Raleigh who is an expert on marine sciences and coastal circulation.
I'm glad because I am going to the beach and I'm not going be swimming in some black,tarry water. BP CLEAN IT UP!!!!!!
My donation will be a bottle of Dawn dish washing detergent and a box of tampons. CLEAN IT UP!!!!!!!!!!!!

2011 W-2 Tax forms
GOD HELP YOU IF YOU VOTED FOR HIM Subject: 2011 W-2 Tax Forms Title IX Revenue Provisions-Subtitle A: Revenue Offset "(Sec. 9002) Requires employers
to include in the W-2 form of each employee
the aggregate cost of applicable employer-sponsored group health coverage. Starting in 2011 (next year) the W-2 tax form
sent by your employer will be increased to
show the value of whatever health insurance you are provided. It doesn't matter if you're retired. Your
gross income WILL go up by the amount of insurance your employer paid for.
So you'll be required to pay taxes on a larger sum of money that you actually
received. Take the tax form you just finished for 2009
and see what $15,000.00 or $20,000.00 additional
gross income does to your tax debt. That's what you'll pay next year. For many it puts you into a much higher
bracket. This is how the government is
going to buy insurance for fifteen (15)
percent that don't have insurance and it's
only part of the tax increases, but it's not really a "tax increase" as such, it a redefinition
of your taxable income. Why am I sending you this? The same reason I hope
you forward this to every single person in your
address book because an election is coming in November. So vote intelligently, based on your values. Also, adjust your tax withholding, or increase your
savings, so that you aren't Surprised when your federal
income taxes are due on April 15, 2012. Sincerely, Christian Fasullo Christian Paul Fasullo, J.D., LL.M., APLC. Tax & Corporate Law Attorney 8680 Bluebonnet Blvd. Suite. F. Baton Rouge , Louisiana 70810 Tel: 225.767.0083 Fax: 225.769.7183
Only in America can this happen.
Can you believe this why don't they
just take out the money during the year
in taxes.
Well that means more people will get locked up
for not paying their taxes, more homeless-
because people will be losing their home to
the government because they can't pay their
taxes and don't forget
more people without jobs.

Good listening music!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Reality!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The reality of it all is only one word UNBEARABLE! My sister says this is a nice way to call someone an asshole. She has to say this because she has little kids. Nothing wrong with that and I am glad she is like that. Well folks, I am 40 years old and I pretty much tell it like it is and sometimes I can be UNBEARABLE. HAHAHAHAHAHA. I love it. I know I piss people off and either you take it for what it is or you can get mad and be UNBEARABLE!!!!!!! Oops, there I go again.
Describing myself to others is like this- I am honest, funny, quirky, overweight (I mean fat)(HAHAHAHAHAHA) Oops I am being UNBEARABLE again, but it is with myself so who really cares.
Since my father passed away I have become more UNBEARABLE and look at life in a different way. I look at life in this way- Sometimes, I really don't care what others think about me. You either like me or you don't- it is what it is. I love myself. I am not perfect and nor do I try to be. I am only trying to be myself and live my life to the fullest. I am trying to better myself and live for me and my family. So you can either live with me being UNBEARABLE sometimes or you can be the ones who miss out on a great friend and person.

If you want to live in America then do it legally. If you can't go that route then go back to Mexico. It's not fair that we lose jobs to people who don't even have to pay taxes. If they don't have to pay taxes then why do I? FAIR IS FAIR.
Charges Filed Against Woman In Fatal Bike Crash
STOKES COUNTY, N.C. -- Charges have been filed against a woman who troopers said struck and killed a bicyclist and injured another in Stokes County on Friday.
Linda Sink, 51, of King, is facing charges of failure to reduce speed and misdemeanor death by motor vehicle in the crash that killed Donald Sunday, 62, of Winston-SalemAnother rider, Barry Leonard, 49, of King, was treated at Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center.The two were riding along Trinity Church Road near the interchange with NC Highway 52.
Well all I can say is good. If she had slowed down then she wouldn't have killed this man. Here's the thing though, If she doesn't have a record then she will probably get probation. Not much of a punishment for killing someone.

He's my husband so get away from my cube!!!!!
Ok, it is observation time again. I know this person at work who tries to be in everybody's business. Example, Every time my husband comes to see me, this person will come over to my cube and try to join in on our conversation or they will stand behind him and listen to our conversation. You know, we all like to talk to people we know but when you have to walk out of your work area to talk to your own husband, it is ridiculous. It is also very rude and I don't think this person even understands they are doing this. One day they will walk up to listen in and they might not like what they hear because that's a good way for someone to get cussed out.

Man Convicted For Spanking Child With Belt
Mebane, NC -- A man was found guilty of misdemeanor child abuse last week by a jury in Alamance County.
Avante Brown, 41 of Mebane, was found guilty on July 21 for an incident that happened in November 2009.
Investigators say Brown used a belt to spank a six-year-old. Medical personnel say the child was hit 10 to 13 times. Bruises and welts were also found on the child.
The District Attorney's Office was pursuing the case as a felony, but a jury called it a misdemeanor. District Attorney Pat Nadolski said his office respects the verdict.
Brown received a suspended sentence of 150 days in prison and was ordered to six months of house arrest. He was also ordered not to harass, threaten or contact the victim's family. Brown can also not reside in any house with anyone 16 years old or younger.
In May, WFMY's 2 Wants To Know took a look at whether spanking is a form of abuse in North Carolina. A Graham man, Michael Ward, was found not guilty by a jury for spanking his eight-year-old son.
State law defines misdemeanor child abuse as a parent inflicting physical injury. Attorneys say it's up to a jury to decide if it's abuse.
You know when I was growing up I was spanked with a belt, a flyswatter, a bare hand. What has happened to the world today? When I was little you didn't talk back or disrespect your parents or elders. You knew if you did, you would get a spanking. I even know people who were spanked with a switch. ( For you people who don't know what a switch is. A switch is a thin stick you pull off a tree so your parents can whip your butt with it.) Nowadays, children back talk and disrespect not only their parents but anyone in authority. That's why so many of them end up in jail. It seems like there is no guidance or discipline anymore. People listen up, spanking is not the answer to everything but sometimes it doesn't hurt to give a spanking because a child is being disrespectful. Spanking hurt me when it was happening but I also had a form of respect for people older than me. It also made me a better person.

Here Kitty Kitty!!!
Image by Juanedc via Flickr
I saw a little kitty sitting outside my door,
Wet and ragged like a homeless person,
I opened up my door and said,"Here Kitty Kitty."
In walked this little kitten into my house and my heart.
This kitty walked down the hall straight into the kitchen,
It looked up at me and said,"MEOW."
I put a bowl of milk on the floor and said," Here Kitty kitty."
I watched this kitty in amazement drink all of the milk in the bowl.
I wrapped this kitty in a towel and dried her off,
She purred and purred as I set her on a pillow,
I looked at the kitty and said," Here kitty kitty, would you like to stay with me?"
The little kitty just looked up at me and purred,
Content with its new owner.

Women at work!!!!!
You know I have so much fun observing people and here is the first of many regarding the people I have observed whether at work or out in public. Today is about the women at my job.
1. You have the female who thinks if she bats her eyes at the supervisors when she gets into trouble means she will get out of trouble. Or every time she screws up she says, " I didn't know." Even though she was efficiently trained. THIS IS THE FEMALE THAT WE AS WOMEN CANNOT STAND BECAUSE WHERE I WORK IT IS A MAN'S WORLD AND THERE ARE PLENTY OF WOMEN LIKE ME WHO HAVE HAD TO SHOW WE ARE CAPABLE. THIS FEMALE TRIES TO BRING US DOWN.
2. My personal best is the smart ass female. This female is the one who has been at the job and knows how to do it and she can't stand the above mentioned female. This is the female that knows how to handle business whether or not she is just a worker or a supervisor and she doesn't take junk from anybody. Kudos to this female. One because this is me and also because this fits a lot of other women I work with and WE ROCK!!!!!!!!!
So this is for all of the hardworking women at my job- ROCK ON MY SISTERS!!!!!
For the other women at work who are constantly thinking that their looks and their "I am a female and I need a man to do my job for me because I will get my hands dirty." Please seek employment elsewhere because you are taking someone's spot who really needs a job.

ID mixup: Family planning funeral now hopeful
(AP/University of Evansville)
In this photo provided by the University of Evansville, Abby Guerra, who is in critical condition after a July 18 car accident, is shown. Arizona officials incorrectly said that Guerra had died at the scene of the crash, leading families and friends to believe that her friend, 21-year-old Marlena Cantu, was the one who survived with critical injuries.Guerra was initially listed as having died at the scene of the July 18 crash, and her friend, Marlena Cantu, as one who survived, though badly bruised with a swollen face.
Cantu, 21, was actually killed, and Guerra, 19, was in critical condition with a brain injury, broken back, collapsed lung and other injuries.
Guerra's family had spent the past week planning her funeral, and teammates from her University of Evansville soccer team in Indiana planned to fly to Phoenix to attend it. They rushed to her bedside Saturday after learning of the mix-up.
"It's a miracle but ... you feel angry because we mourned all week," Dorenda Cisneros, Guerra's aunt, told KPHO-TV in Phoenix on Sunday.
The Arizona Department of Public Safety said in an e-mail to The Associated Press on Sunday that a spokesman wouldn't be available to discuss the identification mistake until Monday.
Cantu and Guerra were among a group of five friends from Ironwood High School in Glendale, outside Phoenix, who were returning from Disneyland when the sport utility vehicle they were in blew a tire. The driver lost control, and the SUV rolled several times, authorities told the families.
Can you believe what this family had to go through. 1st they are told their child is dead and they mourned for a week. Now the family has been told their child is alive. This family should sue the authorities for pain and suffering. God bless this family and their daughter. Hopefully she will have a speedy recovery.

As I sit upon a mountaintop,I look up and stare at the clouds,
Beautiful, white clouds slowly drifting by,
I ponder on my life and what I have accomplished.
As I sit upon a mountaintop,
I think about my loved ones from my past and present,
I wonder if they are as happy as I am at this moment in life,
Or are they still searching for the meaning of life.
As I sit upon a mountaintop,
I wonder what is in store for me in the future,
I think today I will not worry about anything,
As I sit upon a mountaintop.

The ballgame!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well tonight we went to see the Dash play ball and it is very interesting on what you see while observing other people.
1.We saw one woman walk in with her two teenage daughters probably no more than 14 years old. Both girls had on shorts so short their butt cheeks were hanging out. I feel sorry for those children because they will probably be pregnant by the age of 16 years because the mother lets them dress like hookers.
2. We saw a woman bring a newborn to this ballgame and sit in 95 degree weather. I would never have done that to either of my children. No maternity instincts for this woman.
3. We saw three women constantly going up and down the stairs to get food for their men. I never saw the women eat anything. I bet when they were getting their men some food they were each downing a beer before they went back to their seats.
We saw a lot of other things but it just amazes me on how we treat our family when we go out in public.
I think it is time for people to think before they act before they hurt a family member and they are clueless about what they have done.
These people have won the STUPID ACTS of the Day award!!!!
Let's give them a pat on the back and send them on their way.

The Hole!!!
While mowing the yard this morning I came upon a hole in the ground. This hold was surrounded with a ring of concrete. I told my husband to come to where I was standing and asked him if he had ever seen this hole before and he replied no. So as we stood there for awhile staring at this hole in the yard, we realized that no aliens would be coming out of the hole today, so we walked off.

Peace be stills my heart.

Man Performs Self Surgery After Copperhead Bite
WILKES COUNTY, N.C. --
An 81-year-old Wilkes County man didn't see a doctor after receiving a bite from a copperhead snake, but rather decided to remove the venom on his own.Loyd Church, who lives along Vannoy Road, said he was in his garden last week when the snake snapped at him and bit him on his hand between his thumb and index finger."I was picking cucumbers, and he was hiding up under them vines," the soft-spoken Church said Friday.Church, who avoids going to the doctor whenever possible, said he remembered seeing his father treat snake bites as a boy and decided to perform the same procedure."I gripped my hand and stuck it down in," Church said, describing how he used a knife to cut a slit between the two fang marks before sucking the venom out. He then killed the snake by stomping on it with his boot.Church, whose wife died nine years ago, maintains a large garden on his property. After taking some beans to a neighbor shortly after the bite, the neighbor became concerned and contacted another neighbor who serves as a fire department first-responder.That man examined Church and bandaged the wound.Church said other than feeling a little dizzy, he's seen no other side effects.
You go boy!!! Big thumbs up for this man who took it upon himself to handle his own emergency medical situation instead of calling 911. This man is a true healer.

The "I'm still in the 80's" woman!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ya'll know this type of female. She walks around thinking she is still the cutest girl on the block. She throws her tall and long (Whitesnake) hair around and bats her eyelashes at most men. She thinks by doing this she will get her way with men.
Here is a quote from my friend Barb in regards to this matter:
"''yes'' I know the kind.. and I imagine she un-buttons a few buttons if she gets pulled over for a traffic violation as well? sounds like my neighbors wife... pffft... some people like that make it all the harder for men and others to realize women have more brains than they give us credit."
I agree with Barb. It has taken years for me to show men that I can handle myself in my area of work. Now women like this seem to think they can undo what I have worked so hard for. It is disgusting.
Here is another quote from Barb:
"usually its ''those kind of women'' who have to use other means- because they have no common sense- or they get hired to be the ''token pin-up girl'' for their employer..its like putting a ''box of rocks'' on the payroll? lol dont work too hard- tty tomorrow- hugs xxx- now, the way ''I'' see it? WE are the WHOLE package! beauty, brawn, brains, and we are MOTHERS! - which thus separates us into a very unique, regal, and ''kick ass'' category! =D"
I agree with you Barb. Thank you for helping me put this in the correct perspective. Now for all of you women who are stuck in the 80's,
GET A LIFE!!!! I mean get a real life in the year 2010. Lower that hair and grow up. Act your age. It's ok to have fun but give me a break. Quit trying to be something you are not anymore- A teenager.

Here is another quote from Barb:
"usually its ''those kind of women'' who have to use other means- because they have no common sense- or they get hired to be the ''token pin-up girl'' for their employer..its like putting a ''box of rocks'' on the payroll? lol dont work too hard- tty tomorrow- hugs xxx- now, the way ''I'' see it? WE are the WHOLE package! beauty, brawn, brains, and we are MOTHERS! - which thus separates us into a very unique, regal, and ''kick ass'' category! =D"
I agree with you Barb. Thank you for helping me put this in the correct perspective. Now for all of you women who are stuck in the 80's,
GET A LIFE!!!! I mean get a real life in the year 2010. Lower that hair and grow up. Act your age. It's ok to have fun but give me a break. Quit trying to be something you are not anymore- A teenager.

Are we still in the 80's? NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ok. Here is how it is. I grew up in the 80's like most of the people I know. I love the old pictures, songs, movies and memories but here it is. QUIT living in the 80's. If you still have the big hair (you know the kind of hair I am talking about) get it cut. It's ok to have long hair but come on does it have to be 12 feet tall as well. Quit trying to look like you are still in the band Queen or Gun's n Roses. This goes for men to.
Come on people this is the year 2010. Get into this century and quit living in the past. Pictures are ok but your true self needs to grow up.

Heart-attack victim saved by pizza deliveryman
LAKEWOOD, Colo. — Ordering a pizza may have saved George Linn's life. Linn's wife said he had just gone into cardiac arrest Friday when the pizza deliveryman knocked on the door of their Colorado home to bring their order. Kami Linn said she opened the door to "some burly-looking dude" and immediately asked for help.
The deliveryman, Chris Wuebben, happened to be a paramedic recently returned from Iraq.
Kami Linn said Wuebben performed CPR on her husband and revived him. Other paramedics who later arrived then took over. George Linn remains hospitalized in the intensive care unit.
Kami Linn said her husband has a history of heart problems.
Now, which statistic said that pizza is bad for you? America advised, PIZZA is actually good for you especially if you order out.

NC man accused of shooting wife with toilet paper
REIDSVILLE, N.C. — A North Carolina man faces a felony charge after police said he shot his wife with a wad of toilet paper stuffed into a gun. Multiple media outlets reported Wednesday that a 38-year-old man was charged with assault with a deadly weapon. Rockingham County sheriff's deputies said he shot his wife after she returned to their home after midnight on Tuesday.
Rockingham County Sheriff's Department spokesman Dean Venable told WGHP that the man loaded a black powder pistol with toilet paper, then fired the weapon at his 55-year-old wife, who was in bed.
His wife suffered a powder burn from the gunshot and was treated at a hospital.
Bond for the suspect was set at $1,000 and he is due in court Aug. 11.
Can you say CRAZY!!!!!!!!! Perhaps when picking a husband and you know you might come home after midnight you should ask ," What are you gonna do about it." Then if he says I'm gonna shoot you then you need to tell him the relationship is over.

Candlelight Vigil Held At Scene Of 1988 Shooting
Saturday marked 22 years since the infamous Old Salisbury Road shooting.It was on July 17, 1988, that Michael Hayes opened fire along the Winston-Salem road, killing four people and injuring five others.R.B. Nicholson, the father of one of the victims, 24-year-old Tom Nicholson, held a candlelight vigil at the scene of the shooting Saturday at 9 p.m."It's hard to come by this corner, because you see this corner and you know what happened on it," said Linda Cantrell, whose 16-year-old daughter, Crystal, was killed in the shooting."She was late coming home that night," she said.Hayes is scheduled for release after more than 20 years at Dorothea Dix Mental Hospital in Raleigh. He was found guilty by reason of insanity.R.B. Nicholson said Hayes' release won't affect the message they hope to send at the vigil."We don't ever mention him, the shooter, because it's not about him. It's about the family, the victims and their friends," he said.While Hayes is ordered to stay out of Forsyth County, the victims' family members said they will never forget what happened there."The mistake was made back then, and now we're all suffering from it," Cantrell said. "He's getting out, and make him mad he'll probably do it again."Under the terms of Hayes' release, he must attend Alcoholics Anonymous meetings twice a week and meet with a doctor monthly.
GOD BLESS THESE FAMILIES FOR THE PEOPLE THEY LOST ON THAT DREADFUL NIGHT ON JULY 17,1988.

CHANGES OF LIFE!!!!!!!!!!!
What I have on my mind this morning is the changes in life that we go through. The picture I have on this blog is ACTUALLY a picture of me. When I was 19 years old, my best friend Inga and I went to Glamour Shots and had the works done. We took beautiful pictures and we knew we looked GOOD! Well, when we were finished and we left out of the mall, and got into the car, we looked in the mirror and saw what looked to be 2 drag queens. We had so much make-up on that a few people could have used it for beautification ideas. Now someone asked me why don't I do my hair like that now. Well here is the reason, I have gone through changes in life. I work in a facility that there is no need to look good for anyone. The only people I need to look good for is my husband and I. The change is I got older and I have responsibilities .

SKINNY!!!!
Why is it that everything is designed around people being skinny or losing weight? Insurance companies are targeting people who are overweight and charging them higher premiums, airlines will tell you to pay for 2 seats if you are a big person and all you hear from the doctor is LOSE WEIGHT. Here is a thought, if GOD wanted all us to be skinny then he would have made us all the same. It seems to me that this is a form of discrimination and I don't like it one bit. I guess if they want everybody to be skinny then they need to legalize crack so everybody will stop eating and lose the weight. Whatever. I am starting a new diet which is called WILL POWER. No, not a fancy diet but one where I control what I eat and how I exercise. If I want to cheat every once in awhile then I am going to do it. I'm not going to buy some expensive diet plan when I know I can do it myself. I have sat here for the last month and watched my son do it and all he does is walk everyday, morning and evening and cut down on his eating and he changed his eating habits and he has lost 14lbs.
I'm going to do it.
I'm going to do it.
PAYCHECKS!!!!!!
You know I don't even know why I work. Every time I get paid it is gone to the bill collector, to pay taxes, groceries, etc. Why do I even work? UGGGGGGGGGG!!!!. I think it is time to downsize on some of these bills. I just need to figure out a way to get rid of some of these bills. Maybe I need to be like some of these other people and say ," SCREW IT I'M NOT PAYING ANYBODY ANY MORE MONEY." Oh well it felt good screaming it out. Now it is time to get back to paying those old bills.
SOMETIMES IT JUST FEELS GOOD TO VENT. EVEN IF IT IS ONLY TO YOURSELF.

JOHN STAMOS!!!!!!!!!
MARQUETTE, Mich. — A Michigan couple were convicted Thursday of trying to extort $680,000 from actor John Stamos by threatening to sell old photos of him with strippers and cocaine to the tabloids unless he paid up.
Allison Coss, 24, and Scott Sippola, 31, both of Marquette, were found guilty in federal court of conspiracy and using e-mail to threaten a person's reputation _ charges that could land them in prison for up to five years.
Police arrested the two in a sting in December at an Upper Peninsula airport after Stamos reported being the victim of an extortion attempt.
Defense attorneys told the jury it wasn't a crime to offer the images to Stamos before going to the celebrity media. FBI agents, however, testified that a search of the couple's home, vehicles and computer failed to turn up any evidence of embarrassing pictures.
Stamos, 46, was too late to the courtroom to hear the verdict but was present minutes later when the judge polled each juror, a common step in trials. He smiled, looked relieved, and shook hands with the prosecutors.
You know, why in the world did this couple think that they could extort money from him. Didn't we already know he was a wild child? Give me a break!!

BP No oil leaking into Gulf from busted well!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
NEW ORLEANS — A tightly fitted cap was successfully keeping oil from gushing into the Gulf of Mexico for the first time in three months, BP said Thursday. The victory _ long awaited by weary residents along the coast _ is the most significant milestone yet in BP's effort to control one of the worst environmental disasters in U.S. history.
The news elicited joy mixed with skepticism from wary Gulf Coast residents following months of false starts, setbacks and failed attempts. Alabama Gov. Bob Riley's face lit up when he heard the oil flow had stopped.
"That's great. I think a lot of prayers were answered today," said Riley.
The stoppage came 85 days, 16 hours and 25 minutes after the first report April 20 of an explosion on the BP-leased Deepwater Horizon oil rig that killed 11 workers and triggered the spill.
"Finally!" said Renee Brown, a 35-year-old middle school guidance counselor visiting Pensacola Beach, Fla., from London, Ky."Honestly, I'm surprised that they haven't been able to do something sooner, though."
Kent Wells, a BP PLC vice president, said at a news briefing that oil stopped flowing into the water at 2:25 p.m. CDT after engineers gradually dialed down the amount of crude escaping through the last of three valves in the 75-ton cap.
YES, IT'S ABOUT TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

RANTING,SEXIST GIBSON NOT"WHAT WOMEN WANT"
LOS ANGELES — In 1985, Mel Gibson was declared People magazine's first ever "Sexiest Man Alive". Ten years ago, women flocked to see him in "What Women Want" playing a chauvinistic executive who finds he can read the female mind.
But in the last week, tape recordings apparently with the Oscar-winning actor ranting and cursing his ex-girlfriend in angry tirades that included racial and sexist slurs have shocked and alienated his female fans, media watchers say.Female fans alienated? DUH!!!! Mel Gibson has screwed up. Maybe he should wash his mouth out with soap. POTTY MOUTH!!!!!!!
FEAR OF RUPTURE CAUSED BP TEST DELAY.
HOUSTON — On orders from federal officials, BP delayed a key pressure test on the new oil cap below the Gulf late Tuesday because of concerns that the test could damage the wellbore, a BP executive said Wednesday.
"There were a couple of other concerns around ways flow could escape and we needed to go examine those before we proceeded," Doug Suttles, BP chief operating officer of exploration and production, told CNN.An unstable area around the wellbore could create bigger problems if the leak continued elsewhere in the well after the cap valves were shut, experts said.
"It's an incredibly big concern," said Don Van Nieuwenhuise, director of Professional Geoscience Programs at the University of Houston. "They need to get a scan of where things are, that way when they do pressure testing, they know to look out for ruptures or changes."
Suttles later said he did not know if BP will get approval to go ahead with closing valves that have been left open since the capping stack was installed atop the well Monday.
Suttles said the government wants to verify that the casing, or the piping in the well, is intact and that the oil would stay contained if BP shuts the well in.
Suttles said the next step would depend on the outcome of a meeting of BP and government officials early Wednesday afternoon.
You know what just do the test and quit having a meeting every other day. JUST FIX THE WELL. FIX THE LEAK. THAT'S ALL ANYONE WANTS YOU TO DO. FIX IT!!! FIX IT!!!!
Dad accused of son's beating death faces judge
HOUSTON (KTRK) -- A couple accused in the death of a 6-year-old boy appeared in court Monday morning. Police say the boy's father beat him to death while the father's girlfriend watched and did nothing to stop it.

Story: Dad accused in 6-year-old son's beating deathMore: Got a story idea? Let us know!
"She said he wouldn't go to sleep so he'd get him on his knees and chest box him," said prosecutors in court.
Authorities say Duncan repeatedly punched Tekerrious, also known as "T.K.," in the chest area over an 8-hour time frame because the boy wouldn't go to sleep. "He would punch him over and over in the chest. And this lasted from 7pm until about some time after 3am," said Sgt. Brian Harris of HPD Homicide Division. The victim was taken by ambulance to the hospital after it appeared he had suffered a seizure. Once there, attending physicians noted severe trauma to Jackson's body. According to prosecutors, Sampson confessed to witnessing T.K. suffer more, even after the initial beatings.
"She said that when he needed to go to the bathroom and Duncan wouldn't let him go, that the little boy urinated on himself and got another beating," prosecutors said. At one point Sampson intervened, whipping the child's bottom with a belt to show Duncan the so-called proper way to punish the child, prosecutors say. The child usually lives with his biological mother, but was visiting his father for the summer. T.K.'s biological mother, who never knew her ex to be violent or abusive, says she will live tormented by regret for letting her son go away for the summer.
"If I would've known, I swear to God, I wouldn't have ever brought my baby there to begin with," said the boy's mother, Lucy Adams. "And if he was that much trouble, all he had to do was call me and I would've gone and gotten my baby.
"I would take his place. I would take his place so he could live. I would take his place," said Adams. Police say Duncan's girlfriend and her 11-year-old daughter watched the beating until the boy's body went limp. Only then did Sampson rush for help.
The girl told investigators for several days Duncan forced her to watch the series of beatings. Sampson's daughter re-enacted the horrific brutality for investigators. She has been placed in a safe home. CPS will pick up that investigation.
Duncan and Sampson are each being held on $50,000 bond. Duncan is due to appear in court again tomorrow.

What in the world is wrong with people?
How can a father do that to his child? How can anyone else sit and watch a child take a beating like that until the child dies, and then you want to call for help. God bless this child in heaven and bless the little girl that was forced to watch this. May these two people get what they deserve for killing this poor,defenseless little boy. Perhaps they deserve the same treatment as their sentence as they gave him.
$50,000 what a joke!!!!!!!! Should be more like $2 million.

SCAMS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Everybody listen up! You need to start checking your e-mail accounts especially AOL. I hadn't checked mine for awhile and then decided let me check it. I had 10 e-mails that are all part of a scam. At least 3 were from the FBI all of the others were from Nigeria telling me that I had inherited 8.3 million dollars.
1st off- I don't know anyone in Nigeria.
2nd.- I don't know any family who has that kind of money.
3rd- I don't need think the FBI would write me to tell me that to collect this money I only have to pay $300 dollars and give them my bank information and then I am rich.
BEWARE!!!!!

In a Monday, Feb. 23, 2009 photo, Lynda Carter attends the ''Defying Inequality'' Broadway concert, a celebrity benefit for equal rights, in New York. Lynda Carter Altman was found not guilty last week on a charge that she allowed her dog's barking to disturb neighbors in an upscale Maryland community outside Washington.Neighbor Chrissellene Petropoulos says she was disturbed at all hours by barking from Altman's Labrador retriever. Petropoulos said she tried calling and e-mailing Altman to ask her to bring her dog inside, and eventually called animal services.
The acting Montgomery County attorney says his office took the issue to court after an animal services officer issued a barking dog citation based on Petropoulos' complaint. Altman's attorney the case was dismissed because there wasn't sufficient evidence of wrongdoing.
You would think that all she had to do was take that magic lasso and shut that dog up. You go Wonder Woman!! I still want to be you when I grow up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

FOURTH OF JULY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well we had to work this weekend so I missed the fireworks. Saturday night we cooked out at work and one of my co-workers brought his home built smoker to work. Needless to say he can cook and it was a really good cookout. Normally I don't participate but I decided to this time and was glad I did. I am trying to change a little bit at a time because I think people think I am mean. I was even nice to Cindy Lauper. ( If you know me you know who I am talking about) Now this morning I came home, took a nap until 12pm, went to lunch, then back home and cleaned the house,washed laundry, dishes, cut the watermelon, gave the cat a bath, mowed the lawn, helped cook dinner and now it is time for rest. WHEW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My husband and I were really busy working today and tomorrow is going to be the same. Well time for some sleep. PEACE OUT!!!!!!!
PS: Please keep Jennifer Lowman's family in your prayers. Her family's house burned to the ground this weekend and her brother got burnt. They need all of the prayers they can get right now.

Just remember this is the one weekend that EVERYBODY should give thanks to God and give thanks to all of the soldiers we have stationed all over the world. Whether they are in hostile conditions or not we should thank them for laying their lives on the line for freedom and democracy.
GOD BLESS OUR TROOPS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

NC EDUCATION LOTTERY
Make sure to check out our NC Education Lottery story tonight on WXII 12 News @ 11pm... We asked the question... "Where is the money going"..
I tell you where it needs to go... IN MY POCKET!!!!!! I mean really. Now because of our PRESIDENT, I qualified for an Education Loan which is going through the government. Now last year when I tried to get a loan for my son to go to college I was not approved because it was going through the bank but now all of a sudden I am approved because it is going through the government. THANKS TO OUR GOVERNMENT. KUDOS TO YOU. Since the bank gave my son to pay back his loan in 10 years after he graduates, can I please get the same deal.
I GUESS THAT'S A NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What can you do? NOTHING!! All I know is I didn't vote for the people in office.
