http://www.nytimes.com/2008/05/09/us/09sinkhole.html May 9, 2008 Sinkhole and Town: Now You See It ... By RALPH BLUMENTHAL DAISETTA, Tex. — A huge and ravenous sinkhole that threatened to swallow this little East Texas oil town gobbled more crumbling earth Thursday but spared, at least for now, homes, the high school and the main road, Farm to Market 770. “It’s unreal — the earth just wallered up,” said Lynn Wells, the mayor and fire chief, who monitored emergency efforts, speeding back and forth on his red Harley-Davidson. Since the rim of an underground salt dome collapsed and the ground cracked and gave way abruptly Wednesday morning, the hole — already one of the largest on record, geologists here said — has grown to about 600 feet by 525 feet and 150 feet deep, said Cpl. Hugh Bishop of the Liberty County Sheriff’s Office. Tom Branch, coordinator of the Liberty County Office of Emergency Management, has been in the job only two weeks and was expecting something different from oil country. “I’m used to things blowing up, not falling in,” Mr. Branch said. Two trucks have already tumbled into the saltwater muck, along with two grain tanks, utility poles and pine trees. A work shed of the DeLoach Oil and Gas Well Vacuum Service adjacent to the pit hung precariously over the rim, likely to topple in next. “I’ve got some lakefront lots to sell here,” said a neighbor, Harold McCann, 82, as he sat on his property staring out at what had been, barely 24 hours ago, a wooded field. Officials expressed cautious optimism Thursday that the collapse had stabilized. “It appears to be slowing down, the hole does,” Corporal Bishop said. But he said that “there are still chunks falling in” and that the authorities were prepared to evacuate Daisetta’s 1,034 residents if the hole suddenly grew. Carl E. Norman, a consulting geologist and professor emeritus at the University of Houston, did not offer residents much comfort when he said at a news briefing here, “This is not the largest sinkhole in the world.” But Dr. Norman added: “For a salt dome, this is a very large one. This is exceptionally large.” He said, “This may become stable any day, or it could collapse in six months.” And, he warned, “It could double in size.” There were not many options, Dr. Norman said, adding, “Stopping it is a very difficult thing to do.” The entire subterranean salt dome might be as much as six miles in diameter, he said. The collapse might have been entirely natural, he said, or hastened by injections of saltwater wastes by oil companies under disposal permits from the Texas Railroad Commission, which regulates oil drilling. According to the United States Geological Survey, sinkholes are common where the underlining rock is limestone, carbonate or salt beds that can be dissolved by circulating water that hollows out caverns. The land above stays intact for a while, and then can suddenly collapse. In 1973, a sinkhole that became known as the December Giant opened up near Montevallo, Ala. At 520 feet by 125 feet and 60 feet deep, it was then called the largest collapse in the country in many years. In the 1980s, smaller sinkholes opened up in and around Daisetta, about 50 miles east-northeast of Houston and named for two early residents, Daisy Barrett and Etta White. But nothing like the current collapse, which residents have begun calling “the Sinkhole de Mayo,” had ever happened here. The first warnings came Wednesday morning when employees of the DeLoach company saw cracks in the earth and the roadway started “warping down,” Corporal Bishop said. Ricky and Dicky Johnson, brothers who live near Mr. McCann close to the pit, said they felt it coming on about 10 a.m. “The ground got to shaking,” said Dicky Johnson, over the din of news helicopters hovering over the site. Quickly, the hole grew to 20 feet across. Then things started falling in. http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/ap/tx/5768578.html Wells says guided tours are being offered to residents of Daisetta to "give them a little peace of mind." http://clasticdetritus.com/2008/05/09/growth-of-daisetta-sinkhole-has-stopped/ more photos from other angles (but fuzzy) http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/front/5766414.html slideshow and video Young and his wife watched Wednesday as one of the tall pines just beyond the field listed and then sank out of view. "I told him I'm watching that beige building," said Brenda Young, gesturing near the pine trees. "If that goes, then I'll worry." The cows, too, were unspooked by the nearby destruction.

Next to the wall, an excavating machine scraped dirt toward the home imperiled by a mine subsidence that began nine days ago. “Our priority is to get something under the bottom of the house,” David Philbin, a federal project manager, said of the effort under way since Monday in Drifton Estates, Hazle Township. Since April 9, when the subsidence began, the ground continued to shift and the threat increased to the damaged homes of the Peciles, 2 Smith Drive, and Joseph and Joan O’Day, 1 Smith Drive. On Wednesday, the O’Days watched the excavating machine from the edge of their property, where they sat in lawn chairs placed behind a plastic mesh fence that cordoned off the work zone. They could see into their family room where a corner of the cement foundation fell away. They said a crooked window in the middle of the first floor was a sign of other structural damage. “You go upstairs, the floors are like this,” said Joan O’Day, pressing her fingertips together to form a “V.” “You can feel it going down.” The O’Days have insurance against mine subsidence and aren’t eager to return to their home, whereas the Peciles lack subsidence insurance and hope their house can be saved and repaired. Between Monday afternoon and Wednesday afternoon, M and J Excavating of Sugarloaf pumped 60,000 cubic yards of concrete into the ground around the houses. “Indications are we’re filling the hole, but we really don’t know,” said Philbin of the U.S. Office of Surface Mining. The office paid M and J Excavating $68,000 to pump the cement. Money comes from a tax that companies around the country pay on every ton of coal mined. On Wednesday morning, M and J Excavating underbid several other companies to win a second contract, worth approximately $55,000, Philbin said. Under the second contract, the company started bringing truckloads of stone, some as wide as 18 inches. Philbin said the stone would top cement pumped into holes beneath the Peciles’ home, between the homes, beneath the missing corner of the O’Days’ home and in their driveway. The excavator also was pushing dirt near the listing foundation of the Peciles’ family room. “We’re getting as solid a base as we can,” Philbin said. For extra support, workers also will rest a steel beam beneath the foundation at the Peciles’ house. That job could happen today. While the federal managers designed their project to maximize help to the homeowners, they only have authority to stabilize ground. Owners or their insurance companies are responsible for repairing homes afterward, and most homeowners’ policies don’t cover mine subsidence. As contractors hired by the federal government worked on site, a crew from the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation cleared a storm drain at Smith Drive and state Route 940. Hazle Township Roadmaster Andy Benyo said the drain appeared to be blocked, and workers want the drain to function during the next rainstorm when stormwater could enlarge the mine holes. Along Route 940, which has been closed to traffic between the Drifton Post Office and Windy Hill Road since the subsidence developed, a team from UGI kept watch on the company’s natural gas line. The 8-inch steel pipe runs beneath the road and supplies Hazleton, West Hazleton, the Valmont Industrial Park and part of the Conyngham Valley, said UGI’s District Manager Earl Lauer. He said the subsidence appeared to be moving away — not toward the pipeline — but UGI employees have spent the last nine days planning what to do if the ground gives way. “When this first happened, we made contingency plans for all types of scenarios,” Lauer said. -------- I love it here!

The New York Times- April 14, 2008 Music Review | 'Satyagraha' Fanciful Visions on the Mahatma’s Road to Truth and Simplicity By ANTHONY TOMMASINI This is a fitting time to revisit Philip Glass’s opera “Satyagraha,” a landmark work of Minimalism. I take Mr. Glass at his word that when “Satyagraha” was introduced, in Rotterdam in 1980, he was following his own voice and vision, not firing a broadside against the complex, cerebral modernist composers who claimed the intellectual high ground while alienating mainstream classical music audiences. Happily, that divisive period is finally past. Metropolitan Opera patrons, mostly bound by tradition, might not seem a likely source of Glass fans. But when Mr. Glass appeared onstage after the Met’s first performance of “Satyagraha,” on Friday night, the audience erupted in a deafening ovation. “Satyagraha” (a Sanskrit term that means truth force) is more a musical ritual than a traditional opera. Impressionistic and out of sequence, it relates the story of Mohandas K. Gandhi’s fight for the civil rights of the Indian minority in South Africa from 1893 to 1914. The staging — created by Phelim McDermott, director, and Julian Crouch, associate director and set designer, for the Met and the English National Opera, where it was seen last year — makes inventive use of fanciful imagery, aerialists, gargantuan puppets and theatrical spectacle to convey the essence of a self-consciously spiritual work. Without knowing the events of Gandhi’s struggles in South Africa you would have little idea what is going on, starting from the opening scene. Gandhi, portrayed by the sweet-voiced tenor Richard Croft in a heroic performance, lies on the ground in a rumpled suit, his suitcase nearby. The moment depicts an incident when Gandhi, as a young lawyer en route to Pretoria and holding a proper first-class ticket, was ordered to take his place with the Indians on board and, when he resisted, was pushed from the train onto the platform. But this abstract production takes its cues from Mr. Glass, who was not interested in fashioning a cogent narrative. What continues to make the opera seem radical comes less from the music, with its lulling repetitions of defiantly simple riffs, motifs and scale patterns, than from the complete separation of sung text from dramatic action, such as it is. The libretto, assembled by the novelist Constance DeJong, consists of philosophical sayings from the Bhagavad-Gita, the sacred Hindu epic poem. Mr. Glass honors the text by keeping it in the original Sanskrit and setting every syllable clearly. This production dispenses with Met Titles on the theory that the audience would actually be distracted by paying attention to the words, which at best serve as commentary. Instead key phrases in English are projected on a semicircular corrugated wall that forms the backdrop of the production’s gritty and elemental set. “Satyagraha” invites you to turn off the part of your brain that looks for linear narrative and literal meaning in a musical drama and enter a contemplative state — not hard to do during the most mesmerizing parts of the opera, especially in this sensitive performance. For example, in the hauntingly mystical opening scene when Gandhi reflects on a battle between two royal families depicted in the Bhagavad-Gita, Mr. Croft, in his plaintive voice, sang the closest the score comes to a wistful folk song while undulant riffs wound through the lower strings. That the impressive young conductor Dante Anzolini, in his Met debut, kept the tempos on the slow side lent weight and power to the repetitive patterns. At times, though, during stretches in the opera when Mr. Glass pushes the repetitions to extremes, as in the wild conclusion to the final choral scene in Act I, the music became a gloriously frenzied din of spiraling woodwind and organ riffs. Even in this breakthrough work Mr. Glass does not come across as a composer who sweats over details. He tends to rely on default repetitions of formulaic patterns, the only question being how often to repeat a phrase. Sometimes the daring simplicity just sounds simplistic. When he does work harder, fracturing the rhythmic flow or injecting some pungent dissonance into his harmonies, I am more drawn in. In this regard Mr. Glass is different from another founding father of Minimalism, Steve Reich, whose music is just as repetitious as Mr. Glass’s. But Mr. Reich has always had an ear for ingenious, striking and intricate detail. Sometimes, with its aerial feats and puppetry, the Met production relies too much on stage activity. Still, it’s quite a show. Mr. McDermott and Mr. Crouch have assembled a group of acrobats and aerialists called the Skills Ensemble, who produce magical effects. In once scene they form a huge puppet queen clothed in newspaper who goes to battle against a hulking puppet warrior assembled from wicker baskets. The use of simple materials is meant as homage to the poor, oppressed minorities for whom Gandhi gave his life. Because Gandhi relied on the news media of his day to support his agitation for human rights and published his own journal, Indian Opinion, newspapers are a running image in the production. Actors fashion pages into symbolic barriers for protests. At one point, in despair, Gandhi disappears into a slithering mass of people and paper. The cast entered into the ritualistic wonder of the work and the production despite solo and choral parts that are often formidably hard. It’s almost cruel to ask male choristers to sing foursquare, monotone repetitions of “ha, ha, ha, ha” for nearly 10 minutes, as Mr. Glass does. Yet the chorus sang with stamina and conviction. Besides Mr. Croft, other standouts in the excellent cast included the soprano Rachelle Durkin as Gandhi’s secretary, Miss Schlesen; the mezzo-soprano Maria Zifchak as his wife; the bass-baritone Alfred Walker as Parsi Rustomji, a co-worker; and the baritone Earle Patriarco as Mr. Kallenbach, a European co-worker and ally. You are not likely to hear the long, ethereal sextet in the last act sung with more calm intensity and vocal grace than it was here. Ultimately, despite its formulaic elements, “Satyagraha” emerges here as a work of nobility, seriousness, even purity. In the final soliloquy, timeless and blithely simple, Gandhi hauntingly sings an ascending scale pattern in the Phrygian mode 30 times. To some degree the ovation at the end, after a 3-hour-45-minute evening, was necessary. The audience had to let loose after all that contemplation. “Satyagraha” continues through May 1 at the Metropolitan Opera; (212) 362-6000, http://metopera.org. ------- see also GLASSBREAKS - the Philip Glass mashup album http://www.boingboing.net/2005/07/22/mashup-friday-hiphop.html - all tracks no longer available, but "liner notes" are at http://www.djbc.net/glass/ http://blog.geeksmithology.com/2005/07/23/mp3otw-einstein-on-the-beast-by-dj-bc - one track http://thepiratebay.org/tor/3366634/djbc-glassbreaks-.djbc.net%5D

After spending a few minutes here I can easily say that all of are lacking of any wit or intelligence whatsoever. You all believe yourselves to be better than everyone else, and I can tell you right now, that that is not the case in the slightest, you pseudo-intellectuals. I am much better than all of you. Clearly I am because I am neither pretentious, long-winded, asinine, discourteous, nor are my tastes quite as bland as yours. No, I am quite concise, and I would never stretch beyond that of my means or what I am designated to. I'd have to say that this board is full of anonymous lurkers, attackers, and trolls, who have nothing better to do than throw their elitist opinions around in an attempt at misguided show-boating with people they'd never ever meet. None of you build any persona or stand by anything remotely attached that I can feel some sort of personal connection to. You lack any sort of direction and I can't have that. You're analogies are far too complicated, linear, and they're rather contradictory. Why, there's never even any variety here! I give this image board, masquerading as a message board, a 1/10.
