WHERE IS THE PRESURE COMING FROM?

BRIDGE CLOSED TODAY DUE TO FIRE IN NEW YORK

Posted by Alesiah on September 20, 2010 at 2:59pm

New York (CNN) -- A fire Monday near a New York railroad bridge has caused the suspension of Metro North commuter train service to and from Grand Central Station, the city's Office of Emergency Management said.

The cause of the fire beneath a bridge crossing the Harlem River was unknown. Video footage of the blaze from CNN affiliate WABC showed thick smoke from visible flames on a wooden pier-like structure beneath the Manhattan side of what is known as the 138th Street lift bridge.

Frank Dwyer of the New York City Fire Department said the blaze that began before noon was being contained by 1 p.m., with about 60 firefighters on the scene, along with vessels in the Harlem River. No injuries have been reported, Dwyer said.

Astronomer Fears Apocalypse 2012 Is True

Posted by Cheryl Nelson on September 20, 2010 at 1:42pm

Sep 20th, 2010 | Chennai, Sept. 19: Could the Mayan doomsday prophets have been on to something after all? After the eponymous film about the ancient Mesoamerican prediction that the world will end in 2012 scared the socks off movie-goers and had sceptics shake their heads in disbelief, leading scientists now say that something close to apocalyptic could indeed occur when the Sun rises on December 21, 2012. The eminent astronomer, Prof. K. Sundara Raman, may dismiss the prophecy as a myth, but he says extremely abnormal activity on the Sun that day will result in massive solar storms. “The solar wind, powered by huge coronal mass ejections, will fry communication networks and power grids across the world,” he says. Unless some action is taken to mitigate the effect of the solar flare, Prof. Raman adds, entire cities, markets and government systems could plunge into chaos of the kind the modern world has never witnessed. “The solar wind is a stream of stream of charged particles that blow out of the corona of the Sun at supersonic speeds to the outer reaches of the planetary orbits,” explains Prof. Raman, head of Indian Institute of Astrophysics, Kodaikanal. “During violent sun storms like the one expected in December 2012, the Sun ejects a huge volume of electrified gas. It is capable of damaging power grids, communication services, satellites, spacecraft and aircraft.” He points out that a similar phenomenon resulted in a total blackout of Quebec province in Canada for nine days in March 1989.

Rebuild a Jeep in Under Four Minutes

Now this is team work. In the future our communities will be able to work together in this seamless way, it will take practice, shared experiences and time to build the level of cooperation and trust these men demonstrate here, but in time, we will all be able to relate to this level of camaraderie and teamwork. I'm posting this temporarily on the main page, but will eventually move it into AfterTime Living, as I develop the Community posts for that group's discussions In the meantime, enjoy, and wonder....
