In this case the polls got it exactly right. Clinton was projected to win the big states, Obama the more numerous smaller states. It was predicted to be a dead heat, and waddayaknow, that's exactly what it is. Funny thing is, some people have been trying to shoot that horse since February. While the math at this time is in Obama's favor, it's not a done deal (in part to the Dem's convoluted system). Clinton would be nuts to quit while she still has a fighting chance. Too many people are jumping the gun here.
Operation Chaos having an impact no doubt. Funny thing the MSM won't acknowledge it.
That's hilarious! Are you going to post this on YouTube? You definitely should.
Ha. It's only frustrating if you're an Obama supporter.
oh, only if there were two bullets…..
That is the funniest thing I seen all morning….lol

There's nothing to acknowledge. Operation Chaos was a bust.
"Among the more than one in 10 Pennsylvania voters had registered as Democrats since the beginning of the year — some of them Republicans, many independents and political newcomers — more than 60 percent backed Obama."
"Are you going to post this on YouTube?"
Yes…later today or tomorrow.
There's no chaos here. Nothing to see. Move along.
Pfft. I have two words for democrats.
Ha. Ha.
I recently ran into your work on this website. Though I may not agree with all the views that you portray, you are definitely an extremely talented guy!
I enjoy your drawings.

So the 100 years war idea is OK with you?
I recently ran into your work on this website…"
Thanks, Greg. Welcome to the blog.
Hi Nick… What's your YouTube channel/username? Or are you just gonna post the YouTube-link to the video here on your blog?
Hope Hussein gets it – McCain is the next POTUS
Nick, I am disgusted at this paean to violence!
After all, I recently attempted to donate a boxing "dummy" to Goodwill, and the manager refused because "Boxing promotes violence" and their policy prohibits any donations that promote violence.
I asked if they'd advised the International Olympic Committee.
I agree with flypusher. If only the primaries were not so spread out over many months (which made more sense in the olden days of slow media), nobody would be complaining about the concept of (gasp!) actually letting the people vote before declaring a winner.
The real problem here is the calendar, not the media or the candidates or the superdelegates or anyone else. (Though they do pose their own problems.) So the calendar is going to have to be fixed. But that really is an impossible problem. Who can control 50 states' legislatures and who can stifle the egos of the "me first" states?
Under the law, the states have the right to control their election dates, and the parties have the right to control how they select their delegates. Not only do neither the states nor the parties have the power to overrule the other, but neither the Federal government nor the voters have any rights at all. (The Supreme Court just decided this winter that even an unfair primary election system is within the right of a political party to establish, since the parties are private associations for anyone to join or not.)
And Bert, I'm certain that it's just as frustrating for a Clintonite (being endlessly shot at) as it is for an Obamist (seeing no termination).
I'm disgusted. But I'm still not going to blame the victims, which is everybody but the state legislatures.

Most likely because the dummy was wining to often.
"Hi Nick… What's your YouTube channel/username?"
Bukowsky, the link to my channel is:
I haven't done much with it, yet. The animations tend to get a lot more views when they are posted on the Chronicle's channel, but I've started putting some of them into mine recently.
I'll get this animation posted soon.

That's a funny story, JohnG. But shouldn't you hold on to that boxing dummy? Seems like you'd get some good use out of it after reading the blog comments some days (not to mention the cartoons).
"The animations tend to get a lot more views when they are posted on the Chronicle's channel…"
Probably… What do you want to bet, that I can get your Move Over Obama Girl video to over 1,000 views by the end of the week?

The dummy on the spring-loaded post is not responsible for his reaction whereas the dummy(ies) on the blog are more…entertaining.
Your cartoons are always based on a central kernel of truth. My usual objection (when I have one) is that they too powerfully communicate an incomplete depiction of the situation. This stimulates thought for rebuttal, not frustration.
The race to 1000 Views has officially started…. The Move Over Obama Girl video is currently is sitting at 359 views on YouTube. Let's see how long it takes to reach 1,000.
Most likely because the dummy was wining to often.
Was it wining and dining, or just wining?
Or did your own ignorance of basic English foil your attempt to make a personal insult?
"The race to 1000 Views has officially started…."
Did you post it somewhere?
"The race to 1000 Views has officially started…." – Did you post it somewhere?
Yes… I posted it in alot of places! Click on the links below to see the submissions & comments.
Del.icio.us but this link is to my profile page.
I submit alot of chron.com stuff to these various Social Media sites. But I tried to submit the Hillary Clinton animation from your Chron blog yesterday… and it wouldn't take it. Hence, why I asked if you were gonna post it on YouTube. BUT, now that I am subscribed to your YouTube channel, I will be able to submit all of the recent stuff… But, I too prefer to submit stuff from chron.com, to help bring in traffic to my local paper.
Also see these: Biofuels & Pope Dubya
I got your back Nick!

Nicely done, Bukowsky. I noticed a big spike in traffic on that biofuels cartoon and I was wondering where it came from. Thanks for the assist.
The Race to 1,000 took less than 24 hours! I just looked, and the Move Over Obama Girl video on YouTube had 1,364 views! Unfortunately, I couldn't take the video to the Front Page of Digg.com, which would've given the video probably 10,000 views (give or take)
OK… Let's see if I can do the same for the Unending Endgame video… Which currently has 41 Views.
Very cool.
One problem with the Unending endgame video is that the sound isn't working on the YouTube version. I might try to re-upload it.
I'm glad you said something… I just checked, and the sound isn't working properly for the Unending Endgame video…
…I'll check back, and see if you have re-uploaded it.
Man…I still don't understand why everyone is dissin Hillary.

Because she is old news. Obama is new news. Finally, the Left has a black candidate for whom they can vote who does not openly advocate his blackness.
The leaders of the Left have decided that now is the New Age of Enlightenment and that Obama is to be the symbol.
The dissing of Hillary is because she won't go quietly into the night.
My only hope is that George Bush will go quietly into the night. Starting from now.

Delighted With The Result
Alan and Allan have done an excellent job fitting our new windows and my wife and I are delighted with the result.
They are perfectly in keeping with the existing windows and the two bay windows in particular are a great improvement.
Please thank everyone involved for their splendid work at every stage of the process.
Neil Cross
Fantastic - worth the wait!
We had one sash bay window repaired over two days by Ventrolla Rugby. Few weeks wait for the work to go ahead, but when it did: Brilliant.
New window works well and room is now warm, dry and so much quieter. Joiners were friendly, professional and considerate. No mess afterwards and they made the room useable overnight between the two days work, which was important to us to keep our little ones safe.
Finally, but crucially, we were given practical advice and demonstration of working for maintenance. All in all brilliant, professional, thorough job - would definitely recommend.
Thank you Ventrolla
We had seven original sash windows to the front and side of an Edwardian property refurbished, and I am so glad we chose Ventrolla.
Following some very bad experiences with builders and tradespeople over the last couple of years I didn't want to be blinded by Ventrolla's reputation and sought three quotes. I was initially inclined to award the contract to another company based on cost, however when I delved into the detail I noticed Ventrolla's quote was a worst possible case (all upstairs window sills replaced if necessary during work phase) whereas the other companies would provide a final invoice based on actuals, which were not included in the quote. With this in mind I decided to go with Ventrolla, as the quote was a maximum and could only get smaller.
The team of two that completed the work were an absolute pleasure to have in the house, everything was covered up whilst the work was underway and the rooms left spotlessly clean at the end of the day, the work was faultless and the final bill was almost a thousand pounds less than the original quote as not all sills needed to be replaced.
My sincere thanks go to Stewart and Dave who completed the work and to Ventrolla who truly lived up to their reputation.
Mr Bicknell, Rawtenstall
Thoroughly Professional Service!
I would just like to let everyone know what a first class service Ventrolla have provided in refurbishing the Yorkshire Sliders/Sash windows & fitting secondary glazing at my property.
Jamie & Colin were the epitome of professionalism & took the time to explain every aspect of the works they were carrying out, as well as making sure I was fully aware of how the new installation was to be maintained.
First Class, no fuss, no mess & a pleasure to have in your home.
Thanks to all at Ventrolla - a job well done!!

The GolfersThis book examines in detail the historical background to the painting 'The Golfers'.
R&A Working For Golf Ambassador Suzann Pettersen secured the crucial point as Europe came from behind to win the Solheim Cup at Killeen Castle, Ireland.
The world number two birdied the last three holes to beat Michelle Wie on the final green and help turn the tide as the United States looked close to clinching a fourth successive triumph.
Pettersen's victory – the 30-year-old's first ever singles win in the event - was followed by a similar fightback by Sweden's Caroline Hedwall, who won the last two holes to snatch a half point against Ryann O'Toole.
It was left to Azahara Munoz, who's birdie the 17th meant she could not lose to Angela Stanford, to secure a 15-13 victory for Europe.
For Alison Nicholas's European team the 7-5 singles score meant it was a fourth win from 12 contests, and they will go to Colorado Golf Club in two years' time hoping to win in the USA for a first time.
Pettersen was announced as The R&A's new Working For Golf Ambassador at The Open at Royal St George's. Suzann joins two-time Open Champion Padraig Harrington in this role, where they aim to promote the work of The R&A worldwide, supporting a series of Working For Golf initiatives.
The R&A will now support the Suzann Junior Challenge event in Norway, organised with the Norwegian Golf Federation and now in its eighth year.

|The Game Story:
|WINCHESTER, Va. - Visiting Cabrini College clinched the 2007 Pennsylvania Athletic Conference regular season title today with a 20-10 win at Shenandoah.
Shenandoah (9-3, 5-2 PAC) could have tied the 14th ranked Cavaliers for the regular season title with a victory. Instead, Cabrini (13-2, 7-0) earns the top-seed at next week's tournament and will host No. 4 Eastern in a Wednesday semi-final.
SU falls to the No. 3 seed and travels to second-seeded Wesley in the other semi-final. The two semi-final round winners will play on Saturday at the highest seed remaining for the PAC Tournament title and automatic berth into the NCAA Tournament.
The Hornets scored the first goal of Saturday's contest, on a James Gonzalez to Justin Ratcliff tally just 30 seconds in, but CC took control by scoring six of the game's next seven goals.
The Cavaliers used this 6-1 run, which lasted from the 13:21 mark of the first until the 7:15 mark of the second, to take a lead it would not relinquish.
Shenandoah was able to make things interesting by sandwiching a 3-0 run around halftime, but Cabrini pulled away with an 11-1 run that finished with 7:49 remaining in the contest.
Ratcliff did provide something for the Shentel Stadium fans to cheer for by scoring three goals and one assist. His final point, an assist to Stephen Mayor with 3:12 left, gave Ratcliff a school-record 62 points for the season.
He breaks the mark of 61 set by Martin Carlson in 2005.
Cabrini, which peppered SU goalie Michael O�Brien with 54 shots, had 12 different players register at least one point. Attackman Casey Grugan led this group with four goals and two assists for six points while fellow attack starters Rich Romanelli and Scott Reimer had four goals each.
In addition to Ratcliff's three goals and one assist, Mayor had four goals for the Hornets.
CC also won 23 of 31 face-offs and held a 63-40 advantage in groundballs.
O'Brien finished with 17 saves.

I bought this product and in the bright lights of Sephora it appeared a super shimmery, quite pretty, off white colour. I'm a sucker for packaging, and was just really attracted by cinnamon buns :) When I got home however, in the dimmer lights of my room the gloss appeared a little yellowish but oh wells.
The gloss is of quite a thick consistency, I dispensed a little blob on my lips and it ended up to be more than enough, spreading on pretty thick. It's a little tough to apply the product for me, because of the consistency. I felt like I was tugging at my lip with the plastic applicator. It is glossy at first, but I realised that the shine kind of reduced after a while. It's a little on the sticky side for me, in the way that strands of my hair got stuck to my lip frequently. I'm not sure if it's the cinnamon, but when first applied the gloss my lips kind of burned (I do hope it wasn't the gloss).
It does smell like cinnamon to me, but doesn't taste anything like it. It just tastes sweet.
All in all, I don't feel like the product wowed me, it was an average product that for it's price (I got it at SGD18), wasn't quite worth it. I'm sure I could definitely get a cheaper product that works the same, or even better. I hope this helps! ^^

Let me start off by saying that I am a huge fan of the Cinnamon Buns 3-in-1, which is why I purchased the matching lip shine. This smells nothing like the Cinnamon Buns 3-in-1. In fact, I don't think it smells remotely like cinnamon buns, but instead like a mix of petroleum jelly and pure cinnamon. The only thing that this lip shine has in common with a cinnamon bun is that it is very, very, disgustingly sticky. I wouldn't purchase again.

I received this as a gift for Christmas, otherwise, due to the high price, I probably wouldn't have purchased it for myself.
This product smells nice and it looks nice.
It is thicker and goopy, so you have to be careful applying it, otherwise you'll have slick, messy lips.
It smells nice, like I said, but the taste is... blah. I know, you're not eating lip gloss, but the general taste is more like vaseline than cinnamon bun.
I like the thickness of the gloss, but I think that the CO Bigelow and other Bath and Body Works products have a much better taste for a similar (or in some cases LOWER) price...

A really good gloss, just not the best. i used this for the first time, it smelled amzing. Exactly like cinnamon buns, i dont think any other cinnamon bun flavored gloss has gotten this far..enyways, it has the smooth - yet- kinda sticky lipgloss feel..lasts and last, just the scent is too "warm" for summer and i cant stank wearing this. I prefer the Coconut Frosting one to this. Also, the packaging sucks. its pretty, but just to let ya know, it rips/tears really easy. 2 of these have just exploded on me.:[
Overall, a decent gloss, but not a rave.

I got this on a fluke with an Ulta coupon because I like the sticky textures of these glosses (also have Vanilla cake).
In the tube, cinnamon buns is an unassuming milky light beige with gold glitter.
Lo and Behold, it turns up MLBB on me despite having no real pigment or color to speak of. Maybe the glitter reflects the light, I don't know, but I do know that I looks darn good on me and I love it. The Vanilla Cake actually looks less pigmented on my lips despite being darker.
If don't like sticky, tacky glosses, stay away from this line. I happen to like the stickiness because I find it helps the staying power.

I'm on my 3rd one of this. I lovvvvve this thing! It is yellow toned with gold sparkles in it. It smells soo good and taste good, which is good when Im ready to kiss. Its very shiny as well as moisturizing, I dont get what the bad reviews are about. I see most women here Mac dazzleglass,.Glosses are either too sticky, too shiny, too this, too that. You just can't please women now days, I love this stufff! And will continue to buy it! Now ready to get rainbow sorbet!

I loooove this. It smells strongly of cinnamon at first, then mellows down into a yummy vanilla icing scent. It's very realistic. The texture is thick and sticky which I don't mind. It's very glossy and shiny, a little goes a long way. I wish that the staying power was better though. And the gloss tends to ooze out fast. But for $10 this isn't a bad buy. I'm sure I'll try other flavors.

PRICE-We lost our beloved Clorinda Garcia Cordova, on April 19, 2014 in Price, after a brave battle following a stroke in 2011.
She was born Oct. 27, 1935 in Pagosa Springs, Colo. to Navirr and Annie Lovato Garcia.
Married Richard Cordova, they later divorced.
Clorinda was a devoted mother, first and foremost. She took great pride and excelled in everything she did. She was always a classy beautiful woman who took pride in her appearance. Clorinda always dressed for the occasion.
Her many accomplishments included: President of S.O.C.I.O. (Spanish Speaking Organization of Culture Integrity and Opportunity), teacher's aide, Department of Mental Health and entrepreneur of a family restaurant (Cordova's Authentic Mexican Food). She found her passion and thrived in her career, eventually advancing to Executive Director of Housing Authority. She started with the Housing Authority in Carbon County, later moving to Aurora, Ill. then to Telluride, Colo. and finally to Ogden where she eventually retired.
Clorinda was a staunch supporter of the Democratic Party. She handed down these values and taught her family the importance of the democratic process. She won the distinction of Chicana of the Year for the State of Utah in 1979. She was proud of her Hispanic heritage and it showed through her amazing cooking. Clorinda never knew a stranger and everyone was always invited to her table. She was charismatic and loved being social. Her biggest struggle towards the end was the loss of her ability to speak and communicate like she wanted. She never lost her dignity through her declining health.
Survived by her children, Richard Cordova, Helper, Phillip (Valerie) Cordova, Grace, Idaho, Debra (Larry) Madrigal, Price, David (Becky) Cordova, Rock Springs, Wyo., James (Anna) Cordova, Price; God daughter, Angela Bryan, Florida;16 grandchildren, numerous great-grandchildren and her special great-grandkids, Anthony, Alana and Lauryn, all of Price; siblings, Katherine Smith, Dorothy (Jim) Johnston, Billy (Karen) Jimenez; special sister-in-law, Ruby Cordova; and her precious companions, "Baby" and "Foxy".
Preceded in death by parents, infant daughter, Deborah; and son, Raynel "Ned" Cordova; sister-in-law, Eleanor Madrid; in-laws, Ezequiel and Maria Cordova.
Her selfless example shines brightest through her only daughter, Debbie, who was with her everyday until the end. She will be dearly missed by all who knew and loved her.
Funeral Mass, Thursday, April 24, 2014, 10 a.m., Notre Dame de Lourdes Catholic Church. Vigil service, Wednesday evening 7 p.m. at the church in Price. Family will receive friends at the church Wednesday and Thursday one hour prior to services. Committal service, Cliffview Cemetery, Price.

Travel News: The French Football Federation has confirmed that Pezula Resort Hotel & Spa in Knysna will be the base camp of the French soccer team during the 2010 Soccer World Cup.France, which was drawn in Group A to play South Africa, Mexico and Uruguay, will arrive at Pezula in early June. Les Bleus, who won the competition on home soil in 1998, appear to be the favorites in their group. They will play Uruguay in Cape Town on June 11th, Mexico in Polokwane on June 17th and South Africa in Bloemfontein on June 22nd. Keith Stewart, Pezula Chairman, said that he is delighted that after months of negotiations and visits from the Federation and FIFA, and following the World Cup draw in Cape Town, Pezula is set to become the home of the French team next year. Stewart says that the French Federation was attracted by the privacy, luxury accommodations and superb facilities at the resort. We can offer them excellent training facilities and a host of activities on site for the periods between games, including horseback riding, canoeing, hiking, beach, spa, gym and golf, says Stewart. There isnt another base camp in the country that can offer all this on one property. Pezula is also well-known for its personalized service and the team will be well looked after and made to feel at home while they are with us. We have even employed a language teacher to work with our staff members so that they will all be familiar with French by June next year! This is a fantastic opportunity not just for Pezula, but also for Knysna. I believe that this event will herald a new chapter for Knysna as a destination adds Stewart. He believes that the location was also a big draw for the French. Knysna has one of the most temperate climates in the world and is renowned for its scenic beauty. Moreover, it is easily accessible from all major airports in South Africa.Pezula Resort Hotel & Spa, situated on the Eastern Head of Knysna in South Africa, is a sanctuary of privacy and indulgence created to reflect the natural beauty of the Western Cape coastline.

Happily Educating Our Own (H.E.R.O.) has been an ongoing Internet based homeschool group that freely accommodated members from all over the Phoenix area and often all of Arizona.
H.E.R.O. was created and maintained by Nancy Manos. Nancy and her husband James both serve on the AFHE board of directors and Nancy writes for their magazine. She also serves on the convention committee and travels around the state speaking to groups of homeschoolers. H.E.R.O. has been a part of that community service for nearly ten years now. Through the hundreds of newsletters sent, the Phoenix area members have enjoyed a continual update of pertinent homeschooling information for the area. For those who used it exclusively instead of a regular homeschool group, it has been a wonderful asset.
How did H.E.R.O. work? When someone signed up with the group they began to receive email newsletter updates. These updates came daily in the beginning, but over time, they became a weekly event. Though depending on the amount of information coming in and/or the Manos family's schedule, she had to occasionally adjust that timeline.
Members would email Nancy concerning upcoming events. Things like curriculum sales, field trips, the formation of new co-ops, and more. She then compiled that information along with any new announcements from the state or other sources she had collected. Those who signed up for email alerts then received the information in their inboxes and those who had not, could find the updates posted on the website.
On April 7, 2011, Nancy and her family announced their retirement from the H.E.R.O. newsletter and website. This has been deeply saddening for its users and there will definitely be a hole left in the community by its loss. Yet, every member understand the work and commitment that had been going into the endeavor and wished the family well. The question then became, will this be the end of such a network? Not if people like Jan Parsons, Kerri Ross and Savannah Rogers can help it, they have stepped up to fill in the H.E.R.O. gap.
Savannah has started the Homeschool News Network, an online multimedia news outlet that began the beginning of May. The 'About Us' page states: "Homeschool News Network is a multimedia news outlet of, by, and for homeschoolers. It is a central place on the Web to share news, connect with homeschoolers, and find out what's new in the homeschool world… in a family-friendly online environment."
Also beginning in mid-May, Jan Parsons is starting up her own newsletter, which she plans on putting out bi-weekly. She hopes to "build a communication network" that will help fill the void left in Arizona by the absence of the H.E.R.O. network. She currently has a personal field trip website, which she will also incorporate into the newsletter.
In April, Kerri Ross started Handy Hearts – Homeschooling From The Heart. Her Christian website statement reads in part, "…dedicated to helping homeschool families connect to local Arizona events, activities and resources through our website and newsletters. It is a resource for families to share "Handy Announcements" about upcoming opportunities for field trips, lessons, and more."
In their own way, these three ladies hope to retain the dream that the Manos family began. Surely, the Manos family could not have known that out of the homeschooling community seeds they planted with H.E.R.O. would spring three new offshoots that will surely sustain the root system originally established.

There is a story which claims that the name "Pirúa" or "Pirhua" pronounced by the Tallanes who were taken to Spain, gave rise to the word "Peru". Others speak of a god or mythical being known as Pirúa. This deity was said to be the founder of the Tallan PIRHUA clan, from which the people of Piura are descended and the name of the region of PIURA is derived.
The local economy is vibrant and offers many business opportunities, and the local resources of Piura include the Paita, Talara, Bayovar Seas and the Poechos reservoir.
Piura is a land with an ancient tradition of craftsmanship, and it is renowned for its pottery and filigree art.
The city of Piura has a hot climate.
The average maximum temperature is 31.2°C (88.1ºF) and the minimum temperature is 17.7°C (63.8ºF). During the months when the El Niño phenomenon is present, usually between December and April, the temperature in the city rises.
Capital: 29 meters above sea level (Piura). Altitude: Minimum: 3 meters above sea level (Paita and Los Órganos). Maximum: 2709 meters above sea level (Ayabaca).
This main square is located in the center of the city. It is surrounded by tamarind trees which were brought from the Yapatera hacienda and planted there in 1870. The "Pola†is located in the middle of the plaza. This marble statue represents liberty and was received by the city as a gift from President José Balta, around the year 1870.
Calle Huancavelica 362. Visits: Mon-Fri 7:00-8:00 and 19:00-20:00; Sat-Sun 8:00-12:00. Founded in 1588 and consecrated to the Virgin of the Assumption and the Archangel Michael. The interior of the church houses a Churrigueresque altarpiece representing Our Lady of Fatima, carved from Nicaragua city and covered in gold leaf, which was probably one of the first altarpieces in Peru. The main altar was reconstructed by the Spanish sculptor Julián Alagua after the 1912 earthquake, in the Plateresque style. As the principal church of the city, the cathedral houses the Piura parish archive.
Corner of Calle Lima and Malecón Eguiguren 516: Telephone (073) 31-1111. Visits: Mon-Sun 8:00 to 12:00 and 16:00 to 19:00; Masses: 8:30 a.m. and 5:30 p.m. The old cloister was built by the Franciscan order during the 18th century and it was declared a national monument in 1969 and 1980.
Jr. Tacna 662 Telephone: (073) 32-6541 / 33-1961. Visits: Mon-Sat 8:00-13:00 and 15:30-18:00 It was in this house that Admiral Grau was born and lived. He was the hero of the War of the Pacific with Chile (1879). The house is composed of four salons and a library. On exhibition are photographs, letters, diplomas and documents, as well as the furniture used by Admiral Grau.
Jr. La Libertad 366, facing Plazuela Merino. Visits: Mon-Sun during mass. This church dates from the 18th century and was declared a National Historical Monument in 1974. Today, it is the home of Piura's Religious Art Museum
Corner of Av. Sullana and Jr. Huánuco.Telephone: (073) 32-7541. Visits: Mon-Sat 8:00-20:00; Sundays 8:00-12:00. It is composed of three rooms: Pot Makers' Room, Metallurgical Technology Room and the Gold Room. The Gold Room houses a collection of 61 gold objects which trace the development of the technology of the Vicús culture.
Located 10 kilometers from the center of the city of Piura (approximately 15 minutes by car): Visits: Sat-Sun 8:00-18:00. The focus of this center is a 20 square kilometer body of water created by the damming of the Piura River. The shores of this lake are inhabited by local species of animals, including iguanas, herons, grebes and wild geese.
Located 12 kilometers from the city of Piura (15 minutes by car), this community is home to craftspeople devoted to the weaving of straw and cotton and the creation of gold and silver filigree.
From the community of Catacaos it is 3 kilometers to this archaeological site (5 minutes by car). Visits: Mon-Sun 8:00-18:00. This site is believed to have been the capital of the pre-Inca Tallán culture. The constructions are composed of mud brick platforms joined with mud and organized into four sectors.

The city of Chulucanas is an attractive destination, and it preserves the old city of Piura, the site of the second founding of Piura, as well as the archaeological remains of Vicus. The ceramics made by this community are globally recognized.

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) -- D.J. Augustin did everything he could to get Texas a win.
Driving to the basket for layups, pulling up for short jumpers and getting to the free throw line, the Longhorns point guard bulled and finessed his way to 29 points and 10 assists to lead Texas (No. 5 ESPN/USA Today, No. 4 AP) past North Texas 88-72 on Wednesday night.
He even took an elbow to the face in the second half that later required three stitches below his left eye and still sparked Texas' final push to the win.
"He's terrific," Texas coach Rick Barnes said. "He's got a great feel. He took control in the last four or five minutes of the game."
The win pushed Texas to 8-0 for the second time in three seasons. If the Longhorns beat Rice on Saturday night, they'll be off to their best start since winning the first 14 games of the 1981-82 season.
The Longhorns said they were determined not to relax after pulling out a huge win at UCLA three days earlier.
"That was our main focus," guard A.J. Abrams said. "We knew we had a big win in [Los Angeles] and we wanted to come out here and not have a letdown."
Abrams scored 23 for the Longhorns, who cruised to a big early lead, then watched North Texas cut it under 10 in the second half before pulling away down the stretch.
Damion James added 12 points and 10 rebounds for Texas. Josh White led North Texas (5-2) with 28 points, hitting six 3-pointers.
The Mean Green, who rallied from 21 down to beat New Mexico State in their last game -- the biggest comeback win in school history -- quickly found themselves down by that margin against Texas.
Texas hit 10 of its first 14 shots and James' gliding layup made it 29-8. The Longhorns led 48-26 at halftime, and Abrams and Augustin each had 14 points in the first half.
At one point, frustrated by his team's sloppy play and several fouls called against his team, North Texas coach Johnny Jones stripped off his sport coat in disgust and was whistled for a technical foul.
"You can't fall behind on a great basketball team like that. We dug a whole for ourselves in the first half," White said. "We never quit."
Things got much more interesting in the second.
Texas maintained at least a 20-point lead through the first seven minutes, then couldn't make a basket. The Longhorns went nearly six minutes without a bucket and North Texas whittled the lead to nine behind with a 12-0 run sparked by White's consecutive 3-pointers.
After their big comeback against New Mexico State, North Texas thought it might be on the verge of another. The Mean Green outrebounded Texas 36-35 and were only the third team this season to hold Texas under 50 percent shooting.
But the rally wouldn't last. James broke the scoring slump with a long jumper and another by Abrams pushed the Texas lead back to 68-55.
Augustin took over the game from there, scoring 11 of Texas' next 15 points on a variety of sparkling drives through the lane for baskets and short jumpers or fouls that sent him to the line.
His 10th assist of the game was a long pass to Abrams in the corner for a 3-pointer that made it 86-66 with 2:55 to play.
Augustin went 11-of-12 from the line and Texas was 19-of-24 as a team.
"He can give it to you in a lot of ways," Barnes said.

Middle English (1066-1485)
Modern English (1485 (ascension of Henry VII to the English throne) to the present day)
THE ANGLOSAXON INVASION. Julius Caesar invaded Britain in 55 BC (The Celts were living in Britain and offered stiff resistance). In 43 AD the Roman conquest was concluded under Emperor Claudius, but the Romans did not reach the North. Early in the 5th century the evacuation of the Romans was completed. Bede talks about the invasion of Angles, Saxons & Jutes, that took place around AD 449. They came originally to help one of the kings & then decided to stay.
ANGLO-SAXON LITERARY CULTURE. A long oral tradition developed when the Germanic tribes still inhabited the European continent. Early German poetry was composed & recited by the scop. At court feasts the scop would sing the deeds of real or legendary heroes. These illustrious figures were part of the legacy which the Anglo-Saxon invaders brought with them to England. With the conversion of England to Christianity things became different. THE COMING OF CHRISTIANITY. English history begins in the year 597: the Roman & Irish Missionaries taught the English how to write. The Missionaries brought with them parchment (the skin of an animal prepared for writing on), pen & ink & the custom of writing literary compositions down & also the roman alphabet. The English of heathen times knew how to write, they brought from the continent a runic alphabet of 24 letters, & they added others later. No English poem has been preserved in runic inscription (too expensive). It is impossible to overestimate the importance of the coming of Christianity to England. The new religion brought Mediterranean civilization to the island. Monasteries at Canterbury, York & Jarrow were internationally esteemed for their Latin & Greek...

Second-time mayor Jayne awards Hayle stalwarts
Posted: May 23, 2013|
THE mayor of Hayle has been officially chosen after a ceremony last week.
Current mayor, Councillor Jayne Ninnes was re-elected to the top spot for another term.
Her deputy mayor Graham Coad was also re-elected at the official event at Hayle Day Care Centre last Thursday.
One of Mrs Ninnes's first duties in this term was to select the winners of the annual awards.
The female Citizen of the Year was awarded to Sandra Biggs, selected in recognition of over 45 years of service to the local Cub Scouts.
Mrs Ninnes said: "Everyone who nominated her explained she is not only a great leader but is also kind and giving.
"This is further demonstrated by her voluntary work with the elderly and general community-spirited attitude to life."
Ms Biggs had already committed to caring for an elderly blind friend last Thursday so her partner, Bob Bussey, collected the trophy on her behalf and the mayor has arranged to present the trophy to her during a forthcoming cub night.
Paul Hurrell was presented with the male Citizen of the Year shield for his "unstinting service" to Hayle and Cornish rugby. This year saw him complete 50 years of service on the management committee of Hayle Rugby Football Club, after joining at the age of 17.
Heyl Town Band received the Organisation of the Year Award.
Mrs Ninnes said that each year the band leads the Mayor's Civic Parade, supports the Remembrance Sunday Service and participates in both the winter and summer carnivals.
"It also seemed fitting to recognise Heyl Town Band in what is their 40th year. It is a great asset to the town."
Hayle's Youth Organisation of the Year went to Hayle Junior Athletics Club chosen because of the opportunities it affords the town's youngsters.
Members can try all sorts of athletics in a controlled environment every week at Hayle Community School.

Octomom: I Lost 145 Lbs. for the Money
What inspired Nadya Suleman to get back into 24-inch-waist jeans nine months after giving birth to octuplets?
"The main reason was obviously revenue and I'm the first to admit it," she said on The View Wednesday of dropping 145 pounds through weight training and a sensible diet. "I'm very, very open and honest about that."
Look back at the octuplets' first year!
The 34-year-old Suleman - whose eight babies turned 1 this past January - said she still worries about how she will take care of her 14 children and pay her three nannies.
"Every single hour of the day, I contemplate how I am going to do this, to be able to support them," said Suleman, who had been studying for a master's degree in counseling before having the octuplets.
See the Octomo's kooky Halloween costume - and more
"It is a Catch-22," she continued. "If I go back to school ... I couldn't possibly earn enough money to take care of them ... So the only other option is to delve into other opportunities ... you know, doing interviews ... to make the money."
She said the money issue never dawned on her before she had the kids.
Asked if she was out of her mind, she replied, "I've asked myself that for years ... I was in denial for so many years thinking, 'Oh, I'm so smart ... I only have a year more for my master's ... I can do it all.'"
PICS: See what the Octomom does all day
She denied she was mentally unstable. "If I were genuinely 'mentally unstable,' I would have drowned from the beginning," she said. "I know for a fact."
These days, she said she sleeps "two hours a night" as she "desperately" tries to have one-on-one time with her kids every day.
"My life has become literally a blur of child rearing," said Suleman, who added that she also is working on a book.

Would she ever have another baby?
Not until "far, far, far in the future when [the kids] are older if, God willing, I meet somebody," she said. "I'm not going to say 100 percent no."

Is it OK to leave the skin on the apples when making an apple pie? With most of the nutrition in the skin this seems like a good idea. I wonder if there will be chewy strings of peel or if they will cook tender.
Depends on the apple. Apples with softer skins will bake to a more even consistancy, but apples with tough skin (the 'shiny' kinds like mackintosh or red delicious) tend to get caught in your teeth and throat, and are generally a pain to eat.
If you do make a pie with the skins on, use smaller pieces of apple or slice around the apples to create shorter pieces of peel. These are easier to eat and don't get caught in your mouth as much.
In my experience cookbooks always tell you to peel the apples, and professional apple pies will always have the peels removed. Cooking at home, though, I often leave them on, especially if I know the apples are organic. I think the peels add flavor and texture, and as you mention, nutrition.
You should peel your apples. If you don't it gets hard and rough and isn't pleasant. The nutritional value is pretty much lost because it gets cooked. Just eat the peel you've got left :)
When making fruit pies your goal is essentially to make a loose jam inside the crust, something that will remain firm and cohesive without resisting fork or tooth. Apple skins are detrimental to this process as they aren't hygroscopic and will prevent the apple pieces from melding with the other pieces on the skinned side.
I'm not saying it's impossible to make a nice, firm apple pie with skins on, but it's far more likely for that slice of deliciousness to collapse on your plate than if you peel them beforehand.
I leave the skins on, slice the apples, and soak them in cinnamon, sugar, and a little salt for a day or two. Then I drain and layer the pie with apples, cinnamon, and sugar several times and bake. I've never had complaints. The skins basically turn to mush but the pie is great, not a sloppy mess. Very nice on a plate, holds well while cutting and serving, and saves a lot of time not peeling apples. That's my .02.
I always leave on the peel I love how it tastes I also don't remove the skin when I eat a fresh apple. I really don't like any apple pies from the market so I tend to just bake them myself as they are so easy to make and taste totally different from manufactured pies.
Try it with the peel pureed.
I've made a few pies this way and it works well - also adds a bit of color!
Just ate the worst apple pie ever!
Taste was good, wasn't too sweet, just enough cinnamon and nutmeg, but one bite in and I started to choke... WHAT? An apple pie with the peels on?? Sorry, folks but I don't care if the apples are organic or not - apples should be peeled. If you are so worried about what to do with the peels, cooks them up, cores and all, to make apple sauce - when soft, put the cooked apples through a food mill and enjoy fresh apple sauce!

Video: CU could raise in-state tuition by nearly 16 percent
Tuition for full-time students in the College of Arts and Sciences would go up by 15.7 percent. The increase, if approved, would add up to an extra $1,203 per year.
The CU Board of Regents will make a final decision in the spring.
If this sounds familiar, it's because CU has raised tuition four times in the last four years.
The increases have ranged between 8.8 percent and 9.3 percent each year.
Many believe the reason for state colleges is to make a degree affordable: Taxpayers cover some of the cost and Colorado gets a more educated and qualified workforce.
As the state economy has dropped over the past few years, so have taxpayer contributions.
Ten years ago, two-thirds of public college for the average in-state student was paid for by the taxpayers. Today, it has flipped and students pay two-thirds while the state pays a third.
If this trend continues, students will keep paying more as the state pays less. Many in higher education worry it's only a matter of time before the state's share is zero.
A decade ago, the average annual cost to go to a public four-year university in Colorado was $3,128. Today, the cost is more than double that at $8,370 and rising.
These increases are not stopping students from going to college - there are more students in the system than ever before.
The difference now is debt. Colorado students are taking on almost 50 percent more student loans than they were just five years ago.

I just finished upgrading my i9020a from 4.0.3 to 4.0.4. Everything is working fine so far.
I did have an issue when upgrading from CWM. When it was verifying the files, it complained about Music2.apk. I had deleted this file from the system/app folder when I first installed ICS since I has installed CM Music app and wanted it to replace the default player.
Luckily I had a copy of the 4.0.3 full zip file, so I browsed into it, found the apk I needed, copied to SD card and moved it back into the right folder. Uninstalled the CM Music first. Make sure to match the Music2.apk permissions to the same as everything else in that folder. After a reboot, I confirmed that the Music app was back and shut down back to recovery. Once in recovery, it tried the update again and it all worked properly! Radio file didn't need to be reinstalled again, but I wouldn't mind a newer one since I'm currently running AUCKE1 cause nothing else seemed to work for me!
Hopefully 4.0.4 will have better battery life!

A response to fracking critics
- Ivo Vegter
- 24 May 2011 08:37 (South Africa)
The reaction to my column on shale gas drilling in the Karoo was overwhelming. The comment section alone contains over 70,000 words in more than 400 comments (counting my own responses), and it sparked several columns in response.
Among the counter-arguments that were raised, the most damning appeared to be a study, published in the Proceedings of the US National Academy of Sciences, by a group of researchers from Duke University.
Although it had not been published when my column appeared, a great many journalists, judging by the headlines on their stories, seem to have taken the study's title as its conclusion: "Methane contamination of drinking water accompanying gas-well drilling and hydraulic fracturing".
Few, I'll wager, bothered to read much more than the abstract. Had they delved a little deeper, they would have found the study sorely deficient, and not at all in support of the argument that hydraulic fracturing in particular, or shale gas drilling in general, contaminates drinking water.
The study inspected water from 68 water wells. The wells were not selected by random sampling, as one might expect from a scientific study. In fact, there was no basis for well selection at all, other than proximity to, or distance from, known shale gas drilling operations. No baseline studies had been done to establish the chemical profile of the water before gas drilling began, so any conclusions about their prior condition could only be based on anecdotal tales. Moreover, the error margins in the results are suspiciously large, in one case even exceeding the absolute value of the data.
The study found that the majority of wells contained methane – the infamous gas that appears to make tap water flammable – regardless of their proximity to gas drilling operations. This just seems to be something that happens in the region. The only substantive finding was that the concentration of thermogenic methane – the stuff that originates from deep rock – was higher near to active gas drilling operations. However, it occurred in lower concentrations in most of the other tested wells too, along with the more common biogenic methane, which is generated from bacterial action in decaying organic material.
This sniff of a lead prompted the researchers to speculate fruitlessly about the origin of this gas.
They concede that methane is highly unlikely to penetrate through two kilometres of rock strata to the surface, a belief which they share with the gas drilling companies.
They note that not a single one of their wells showed any evidence of contamination with brackish water from deep aquifers, radioactive substances that occur at depth, nor any sign of the chemicals that are used in the fracturing fluid. This comprehensively rules out failure of the sophisticated triple-layer well sleeves that are designed to shield gas wells from the surrounding soil and water table.
They point out that further research, including proper baseline data, is needed to reach any firm conclusions about methane in the drinking water.
In short, they have no idea how the thermogenic methane got to the water aquifer, but that's the worst problem they found, and they discovered a whole bunch of reasons to think that it was not caused by gas drilling or hydraulic fracturing.
The distinct lack of strong evidence didn't stop the authors of the report from heading straight to the media with an "editorial" (i.e. press release) headlined, "Strong evidence that shale drilling is risky."
The report also mentions that methane is not a substance regulated as harmful in drinking water. A scientist in the field wrote to me to note that ingestion in the concentrations the researchers found is very unlikely to be a health risk. He also said that the simple solution to the fairly common problem of methane in your water well is to use a ventilated storage tank, so the gas can evaporate off before consumption.
Despite my distinct lack of research funding, I have a different theory about the gas the Duke scientists found. Have you ever noticed how oil drilling often happens near natural oil seeps, because, well, the seep shows that there's oil there? I'd be mighty surprised if they invested millions to drill for gas in places where there isn't any gas in the ground.
All this studying, of course, doesn't stop documentary makers (and commenters) from making wild allegations about chemicals and radioactivity. Among the things that they didn't find in the drinking water, for example, is radium-226. This is a common substance that occurs naturally in most rock. It was the first radioactive material found, and it's the reason why the inside of caves are more radioactive than the outside of caves.
"It'll kill ya", says one documentary, inventively entitled Fracking Hell. (Now why didn't I think of a play on an activity that is somewhat risky, but highly recommended nonetheless?)
Fracking Hell quotes James Northrup, a "former energy industry investor" (whatever that means) on the level of radium in shale at 2.5km depth. The level he mentions is, of course, considerably higher than the very strict permissible exposure limits to ordinary citizens. However, that level does not occur anywhere near where humans are exposed to it. Moreover, the level he mentions is less than the lowest level at which a statistically measurable increase in cancer risk begins. "It'll kill ya," the idiot grins. No it won't.
The same documentary, and many other alarmist articles, offer an ominous list of the chemicals used in hydraulic fracturing, and go on about how awfully poisonous they are. Many people who commented on my column said that they're a big secret. No, they aren't. Here's a registry of fracturing fluid chemicals. (Thanks to Jacques Rousseau for the link.)
To illustrate the chemical hysteria, let's consider this scare story, which builds on one falsehood ("The controversial gas-drilling practice is tainting water") to float another ("Your food might be next").
Ethylene glycol is described as a "lethal toxin". True, that it is. But we also put it in our cars, because it is a corrosion inhibitor and coolant. Every time we have a car accident, we dump the stuff in the storm-water drains. Ever seen a hazmat crew cleaning the road after an accident? Thought not. Because that would be overkill. Ethylene glycol, while poisonous, is simply not that scary.
Hydrochloric acid is described as damaging skin, lungs and eyes. I put some in the swimming pool this morning, to create a lethal cocktail just a strong as the poisons used in hydraulic fracturing.
Benzene, they say, is a potent carcinogen. True enough. But anyone – even grinning idiots – can buy this useful solvent in pure form from the supermarket. Sure, I wouldn't recommend sniffing it, but it's perfectly safe if stored, used and disposed of responsibly.
The fact is that these chemicals rarely cause pollution. That doesn't stop Northrup from spouting some truly inane waffle about what would happen if a tanker truck filled with hydraulic fracturing chemicals were to crash. Since when are tanker trucks filled with hazardous chemicals limited to shale gas drilling operations, or hydraulic fracturing in particular? If that's your standard for safety, you'd better ban fuel tankers and milk trucks too. Ever seen what happens to a river full of spilt milk? It's worth crying over.
Chemical spills are accidents. They do happen, of course, and when they do they need to be dealt with rapidly and responsibly. But out of many thousands of gas wells, pollution incidents have been rare, and have never once been attributed to the process of hydraulic fracturing itself.
The best the story under examination can come up with is two cases from last year, involving a grand total of 44 cattle that were exposed to polluted water from gas wells. By comparison, a group tracking chemical contamination in livestock handles ten requests per day. The writer seems blind to the fact that this disclosure shows that the worry about hydraulic fracturing is just baseless hysteria. Risks exist, but they are small and manageable.
In my column I singled out Andreas Späth for the transparency of his attempt to hang a naïve argument against all fossil fuels exploitation on the environmental scare tactics over shale gas drilling. In his response, one of the claims he makes is that I trivialised water consumption of gas drilling.
True, I put the quantities needed in perspective. Perhaps I was a little sarcastic. However, I added quite clearly that because of the sensitivity about water in an arid region such as the Karoo, Shell, for one, had from the start committed not to compete with farmers and residents for water. There are a few possibilities open to gas drilling companies to find water usable for hydraulic fracturing, and a number of technical solutions to disposing of it. A recent article in the Cape Times suggests that one of my own favourite options – using saline acquifers found in deep rock strata – is also on Shell's shortlist. Moreover, they've offered to recycle the produced water at their own expense, so the Karoo will have more water than when gas drilling started. How Shell solves the water problem is its own affair, but so far, indications are that it is entirely capable of finding a solution that is agreeable to everyone.
The rest of Späth's column is quite vague, and involves arguments about proving a negative. He writes: "The fact is that neither Shell nor anyone else has a sufficiently detailed enough understanding of the hydrogeological conditions in the region to be in a position to guarantee that potable groundwater reservoirs will not be contaminated. Groundwater migration is often very slow and there is simply no way that gas drillers can be certain that the long-lived, harmful chemicals they inject into the ground will not cause long-term groundwater contamination for generation [sic] to come."
Ignoring the unwarranted slight against Shell's hydro-geologists, this argument is false in every respect in which it is provable. As the Duke study showed, there is no evidence that hydraulic fracturing is a systematic risk to drinking water. Occasional accidents will happen, typically at well-heads, but all well drilling is subject to this risk. Accidental spills are subject to perfectly normal remediation and compensation processes.
While boning up on course material from the International School of Well Drilling, I was interested to learn, for example, that cleaning polluted aquifers is one application for a particular kind of well drilling. What happens is that if a water aquifer gets polluted by a spill of some sort, they drill wells, pump out the water, treat it, and re-inject the clean water. Costly? Sure. Will the government hold gas drilling licence holders to such cleanup requirements if they mess up? Of course they will.
Another fact that merits attention is that far from causing groundwater contamination, deep wells have routinely been used to dispose of industrial waste. Half a million deep injection wells exist in the United States, and 34 billion litres of waste officially classified as "hazardous" goes down them ever year. These waste disposal wells are, for all practical purposes, identical to shale gas wells. Why? Because deep wells are the safest place we know to put stuff we don't want in our drinking water.
Many objections to hydraulic fracturing were made, but in 70,000 words I couldn't find a single one with any merit. Except that Karoo farmers have every reason to object, because they stand to gain nothing. South African farmers don't own the mineral rights on their own land. Therefore, they have no reason to agree to any exploitation of those rights near their land, no matter what the risk. This, however, is not an argument against shale gas drilling, but an argument against nationalisation of mineral rights. Now that the state owns those rights on behalf of the nation, it is perfectly reasonable to expect it to grant exploitation rights to private investors willing to take the commercial risk.
In an email to me, Gerrit van Tonder from the University of the Free State's Institute for Groundwater Studies notes that South Africa's potential shale gas reserves rank fifth in the world, after China, the United States, Argentina and Mexico.
This is a bountiful treasure, and in the absence of evidence that this will do any appreciable damage to anyone's farm or to the environment, South Africa would be daft not to permit its responsible, sensible exploitation. DM

I am pleased to be the chair of this year's UW Bothell Alumni Council and your representative to the UW Alumni Association's Board of Trustees. We have a fantastic year ahead of us and I look forward to seeing you at many of our great upcoming events - including the Career Discovery Week activities in January.
One of the great themes for UW Bothell this year is Growth. The Alumni Council would like to echo that sentiment and challenge you to grow your connections with our ever-expanding alumni family - now nearly 8,000 strong. There are a lot of ways to participate.
By doing the latter, you help UW Bothell accelerate its growth and let people know just how valuable UW Bothell is to you and this region.
Stay in touch and we'll see you soon!
Anthony Cruz, Business '06
UW Bothell Alumni Council Chair
