biff,
yeah, it’s kind of puzzling to hear and read about how much John felt for Sean while his other son Julian was sort of left out.
I would guess that it had to do with John’s first wife keeping him away from Julian or maybe John himself was too busy(no excuse) at that time (60’s). There had to be some great rift between them though for John to leave him out in the end though.
Yes, I would say that it is possible to calculate a theoretical maximum flow. You’re probably right that BP doesn’t want to go there, as that number would likely get into the press in a nanosecond.
I believe that BP is wise to spend money to advertise their response. Despite having said that they will assume liability for all legitimate claims (which they may not have had to do, from a strictly legal POV), they can see that there are plenty of politicians who are ready to use their head as a football. They have legitimate interests to protect (their shareholders and employees, specifically) and they are right to do so.
I have been there. As I once mentioned, I was once involved as the lead engineer for a critical safety-release component in a military project named “Commando Fox”. I cannot get into details, but suffice it to say that I was working for a subcontractor in this project, and the lead contractor was using us as a football to cover for their mistake which caused serious problems. Fortunately in that case, I was able to clear my name, by testifying in front of a military commission.
right benson but there is a theoretical _maximum_, right? So instead of all these crazy estimates why don’t we take the max, then we will know the worst. Also if we know the worst possible it would be in BP,s interest to shoot down any estmate that is higher. Certainly BP knows all these factors. So is bp hiding it, and reporters not getting some engineering help?
Paul McCartney said Beautiful Boy was his favourite song by John.
As much as I love John, and while he may have been a great dad to Sean, it seems he was a pretty bad father to Julian. Pretty much cut out Julian and Cynthia completely.
Seems kids of first marriages get treated worse than kids of second marriages.
NYT article does not account for the differences between UK and US bankruptcy law (‘Administration’ in the UK is different and much more stringent from US Chapter 11. Management is handed over to a court appointed administrator).
Unless they are suggesting that somehow only the US assets could be put into bankruptcy, which isn’t really much of a story.

…such a touching song though.

I think you have to be nuts to buy BP. High chance dividend cancelled, brand damaged for years.

I like this very much. Brick floor in bedroom is interesting. Color choices are soothing for the most part(except electic blue wall in bedroom).
