Tsunami


A tsunami warning was issued for New Zealand and other small Pacific islands after a major 8.3 magnitude quake struck in the ocean off American Samoa, U.S. government agencies said on Tuesday.

The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center , a branch of the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, issued a tsunami warning for Hawaii, Papua New Guinea and other Pacific Islands after the quake hit about 120 miles southwest of the remote Pacific island of American Samoa. It struck at a depth of 20.5 miles.

The bulletin estimated a tsunami, if powerful enough to reach Hawaii, would reach the island state approximately 1 p.m. local time (7 p.m. ET). But it was just downgraded to a warning, but advice that no one should be alowed to go into the water at this time.

Open Book: Painting a smile with words. To Finnish off the book i found these two last quotes that i really liked both stated by Elizabeth Bennet, but of course written by Jane Austen.


Title: Pride and Prejudice
Author: Jane Austen
Chapter: 56
"You may ask questions, which i shall not choose to answer."
Chapter: 58
"Think only of the past as its remembrance gives you pleasure."

Primeval To Return!


I am very excited with the news that Primeval will return. After seeing the last episode of season 3 i was very sad on how it ended but i am so relived that it is going to return.
BBC and UKTV have joined forces to bring back the series. ITV1 was going to axe to series due to budgetary reasons but now things have changed and is said to come back with two new series coming out to a total of 13 episodes. Which is not as much as before but is still something. It is scheduled for 2011 and Adrian Hodges will again oversee the production and the former stars Hannah Spearritt, Andrew Lee Potts, Ben Miller, and Jason Flemyng are to return.
