They all have a delicious "nutty" flavor. The downside is that you should not cook with them -- they need to be used where you use cold oils (dressings, pesto, etc)

Transocean, Ltd., the giant oil contractor that leased its Deepwater Horizon rig to BP, held a “closed-door meeting” with shareholders Friday, “just days after” executives appeared before Congress to explain the company’s role in the massive Gulf of Mexico oil spill. As ThinkProgress noted, the meeting took place at the company’s headquarters in Zug, Switzerland, where Transocean relocated two years ago to avoid paying taxes. Though CEO Steven Newman “ignored questions from reporters,” the company said in a statement that it would distribute $1 billion in dividends to shareholders.
I'm sure there is plenty of blame to go around, but based on the '60 Minutes' report it appears that TransOcean may have been trying to slow things down and do them right, while BP kept overriding them and pushing forward.mitch672 said:There can only be 1 correct response to this news from the US Government:
retract ANY and ALL offshore drilling leases granted to transocean, now and forever,
they should be BANNED from ever drilling off the coast of the United States EVER again.
