"So, what does the sea look like when millions of barrels of oil rise to the surface and spread around? The sight is not pretty. The sight of the size cannot be understood from figures in barrels and gallons.
We need a bird's eye view to comprehend the scale of the disaster and also to understand the areas that are getting affected. Here are a few ways of looking at the BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico."

"I wanted something very, very simple that delivered great results in 60 seconds of prep time or less. It may take you a few tries to get below the one-minute mark, but I think you'll enjoy the results every time!
For your ciabatta you'll need:
4 cups of all-purpose flour (do NOT pack the flour into the measuring cup)
2 cups of warm water
1 teaspoon of salt
1/4 teaspoon of granulated yeast (or equivalent)
For the gorgeous readers needing metric equivalents of this recipe, Toon left a comment with the following conversion:
500 grams of all-purpose flour
4,7 deciliter of warm water
4 grams of salt (= 1 teaspoon = 5 ml)
1 gram of dry yeast (= 1/4 teaspoon = 1,25 ml)
You'll also need a medium-size mixing bowl, a 10×15 cookie sheet or baking stone, a hand towel or plastic wrap, and whatever you'd like to keep your bread from sticking (if you're using a pan, I use flour and corn meal).
Have everything handy? Good. Let's do this!
1. Mix Water & Yeast
Pour the warm water into the medium-size mixing bowl and stir in the yeast with a spoon. No need to be particular, just dump and slosh.
2. Add Flour And Salt
Add flour and salt to your bowl of yeasty water. This, after measuring out the flour, presents another prime opportunity to get flour on your person. This will be regarded by many as a sign of your culinary determination. You'll need such signs because anybody who actually watches you make the bread will think you're one of the laziest bakers in existence.
3. Stir Into A Heavy Batter
Use a spoon. You could use your hands if you wanted but you probably didn't wash your hands before starting this anyhow. Start with a quick run about around the perimeter of the bowl with your spoon. A few quick strokes through the middle and you should have a heavy batter. If it looks too thick to be pancake batter and not thick enough to be playdough, you're right on target.
4. Set It And Nearly Forget It
