I called BP with a suggestion. The operator said she would send me a form via email. That was a week ago. No form.
I have an idea that I am convinced will work. Maybe it is too simple.
Build a DOME heavy enough to overcome the pressure of the oil. Lower it over. Cap it off.
May not be a perfect solution. But wouldn't it stop upwards of 90% of the problem?
Then go in afterwards with filler. Or even put a valve in and pump the oil up to the surface.
I will try BP again but am posting here in the hopes that someone else may also run with it and solve a nasty problem that effects us all.

SURGERY WITHOUT DRUGS?
Yes. It is possible. And, over the years, I have helped several clients undergo surgical procedures, from minor to major, with no other pain management tool than the power of their minds.
In other words, they underwent surgery with hypnosis only.
Like the surgery described in the article linked to here, my favorite case history is that of a patient who was undergoing breast surgery. Hers was at Women and Infants hospital where I had been working in oncology helping cancer patients cope with the stress, pain and treatment associated with cancer.
Admittedly, she was excellent at hypnosis. There is a range of responsiveness. But it worked just fine. I met with her twice before the day of the surgery, induced hypnosis with suggestions for the day or the surgery. That morning I went to Women and Infants Hospital and hypnotized her in the preparation room. I was not invited into the operating theater. But, as it turns out, I wasn't needed. My client underwent her surgery with little discomfort much to the amazement of her surgeon and the staff.
In Europe, hypnosis is now increasingly being used in surgery. At one Belgian hospital, more than 5,000 surgical procedures have been carried out using a technique known as 'hypnosedation', which replaces general anaesthesia with hypnosis, local anaesthesia and a mild sedative.
Studies have shown that those who are 'hypnosedated' and avoid the side effects associated with general anaesthetics are able to return to work twice as quickly - 15days after surgery rather than 28 days.
If you are thinking about surgery with hypnosis as your primary pain management stratregy, there are two things to keep in mind. First, you must be an excellent hypnotic "subject" and enter a deep level of trance at will. Second, your surgeon and his or her team must be on board with your plan.
However, even if you don't go all the way with hypnosis, you can benefit tremendously from pre-surgery hypnosis. Hypnosis before surgery can:
Significantly reduce anxiety
before surgery
Reduce bleeding during surgery
Promote more rapid healing after surgery
Speed your recovery time
Reduce pain
If you are planning surgery, give me a call at 401-374-1890 to discuss how hypnosis can help you get through it with a minimum of discomfort and a more rapid recovery or drop me an email at john.koenig,hypnotist@live.com.

Happy Saint Patricks Day
On Saint Patrick's Day, everyone is Irish, or wants to be. And that includes me.
As you may know, I attended graduate school in Ireland where I met my wife (an Aer Lingus Flight Attendant from Belfast, County Down). I wasn't looking for a wife when I went to Ireland. That was a happy coincidence of luck of the Irish for me. What brought me to the land of saints and scholars was the wonderful literature and language of Ireland.
There is a music inherent in English as spoken and written by the Irish. It is more than a "brogue" or lilt, it is a certain poetical reverence for the power of language and imagination. The Irish know that words are powerful. How we communicate with each other and, perhaps most important, how we communicate with ourselves creates our reality.
Whether it is the oratory of John F. Kennedy or the poetry of Yeats, the Irish know how to use words to motivate, inspire and move people to action.
It is also part of the Irish character to dream grand dreams. And none were grander than those of John Lennon, the Irish Liverpoolian, who sang, "You may say that I'm a dreamer. But I'm not the only one. I hope someday you'll join us. And the world will be as one."
.
Yep, being Irish is a lot more than swiling down green beer.
In that spirit, my goal is always to help you use your own imagination and words to create a better reality.
Wishing that your best dreams become reality this St. Patrick's Day.
