The amount of oil and gas found by BP in Colombia is much larger than originally suspected and production is set to rise very steeply, bringing a bonanza to the company. According to industry observers here, the company will be producing 1 million barrels of oil within 10 years, slightly less than currently comes out of the UK sector of the North Sea.
BP itself will not confirm the reports but does say that current production from the Cusiana-Cupiagua field is rising fast and that it expects to be producing 500,000 barrels a day by the end of next year. Last month's production stood at 180,000 bpd up from 40,000 bpd in December 1994.
One black spot in the situation is the continuing disruption of the oil industry by guerrillas. Shell claimed last month that since 1986 guerrillas had attacked pipelines 371 times and caused losses for repair and clean-up approaching pounds 30m. The 1.3 million barrels of crude which escaped from the principal pipeline linking the Cano Limon field to the Pacific port of Covenas was equivalent to four times that lost by the Exxon Valdez off the coast of Alaska in 1989.

Friend. Keep your head up and remember that we all luv u! Enjoy your time over there! Don't let drama thousands of miles away keep you down.
Day 7 - Ko Lan Island
Trip Start
Nov 07, 2010
Trip End
Jan 01, 2012
. All I want to be is alone. Sean and I split off from the group and find a place to settle. We dive into the salty water, the waves crashing down on us. All around, the sights of people on holiday, couples walking hand in hand on the beach, children playing. Still lost in my thoughts, the whole day is spent in deep introspection. There are some things in this world we cannot change. We only have the power to change ourselves. My mantra, for now it takes the edge off my pain. Still under a cloud but grasping at rays of light. The sun falls over the horizon as we make our way back to Bangkok. All are tired from our weekend adventures, my weariness from an emotional, physical and spiritual taxation. I hope to god that things will change, but remembering my words from earlier, focus on changing the only thing that which is within my power - myself.
The wonders of technology keep me connected to a world I left behind. I would normally see this as a good thing, and for the most part it is. But, sometimes it works against me. The space I have promised one, to work on myself and become a better man, broken by my desires. My heart and mind inextricably linked, I reach out to her and only make matters worse. I feel crushed and alone. Independent enough to take the first step, but always looking back to make sure it was the right one. I can't keep doing this to myself, to her. The link is broken. All semblance of connection gone. It brings a noticeable sadness to my mood and I can sense that my companions feel it too. I try to save face, unperturbed and congenial, but it just makes me that much more wretched on the inside. Silence follows. The boat ride over to Ko Lan giving me time to be with my thoughts. We dock and take a van to the other side of the island. Arriving at the beach, a stream of colors and sounds. Its bustling energy seemingly mocking my inner turmoil
Thanks Micah. I've had time to reflect since this day and realize it was my own actions that caused these emotions. I take solace in the fact that I'm on the path to redeem myself in the eyes of my loved ones and know in my heart if it's meant to be it will be. Nothing will lead me astray in this journey and I savor every day as a blessing and an opportunity to become a better man. It helps to have the love and support of friends like Zach and yourself. I hope everything is going great for you and your family and can't wait to meet the newest addition. Take care and keep in touch.

See the thing about Southern women and their infamous charm is that they can make sass talkin' sound so sweet while the y'alls and claws fly.
On the new episode of "Nashville," which debuted big in the ratings last week, the rivalry between fortysomething country star Rayna James (Connie Britton) and twentysomething country pop tart Juliette Barnes (Hayden Panettiere) starts to spice up.
As Juliette tries to swipe not just Rayna's country queen throne but also her hunky bandmate, Rayna gets her own digs in as she embarks on her own tour, instead of bowing to the record label's demand that she be the opening act for Juliette's tour.
"Deacon was just telling me about your little tour," a smug Juliette says to Rayna.
"Yeah, you know, it's going to be old school, just guitars and great songs… for people who love actual music," Rayna replies with a smile.
"She's got 500 miles worth of nerve," Rayna adds when she hears the younger, blonder performer is writing a song with her band leader, Deacon (Charles Esten).

Buy this item and earn 350 reward points.
The lecture starts with a comedy routine (I shall not spoil things here by revealing what happens), followed by a 'Nudist Deck' routine called 'Barely Naked' (worth the price of the DVD). It's an ultra clean version, where having shown the cards blank on both sides, the print materializes and the pack can be examined or used in other routines."A trick with a message" is an hilarious card routine, with a religious theme. "Impromptu appearing cigarette", in which you remove a used 'dout' from an ashtray and stretch it into a full length cigarette which you then smoke! Jackie's "flash pass" (re-invented by many others) has to be used as a color change. There's a chapter on Dice Stacking - Blindfolded, with a kicker finish! Jackie's paddle trick must be the most outrageous ever invented! Wait and see for yourself "Remember and Forget" is a great version of the classic Hofzinses plot, yet the easiest of them all to perform. "The Ball Beneath" is what all working magicians want...a sequence which can be performed "Walk-a-round" without a table. Easy too and very, very baffling. Jackie's Color Changes are spectacular - here are two original handlings that must rank as the most visual, requiring next to no cover! There's a brilliant "False Cut' that's as impressive to the performer as it is to the spectator! Jackie's Coin Box routine is excellent and so useable!The climax to this lecture is "Shock Treatment" an extremely easy, totally baffling cards to pocket. A total stunner that's easy to do and already a classic McClements routine.All the way through, Jackie's humor charm and genuinely modest personality keeps you entertained while you learn and add some great items to your repertoire.Running Time Approximately: 1hr 10min

STRAIGHT POWER GOLDEN 550W Cooler: Mega Shadow Deluxe Edition OS: Windows7 Ultimate 64bit Default Performance CPU 100.1 X 35 => 3502.7MHz Enable Turbo Boost, Enable C1E, Voltage drops to 1.050V. (Default is 1.220V) DDR3 1596.4 CL8 9-8-24 1T 1.500V Sandy Bridge CPU structure is different with previous Core i7. The clock is 100MHz. Some P67 MB work at 99.8MHz in default mode. Its a little bit lower than spec. Hyper PI 32M X4 => 10m 41.660s CPUMARK 99 => 522 Nuclearus Multi Core => 19095 Fritz Chess Benchmark => 21.28/10215 CrystalMark 2004R3 => 315229 CINEBENCH R11.5 CPU => 5.42 pts CPU(Single Core) => 1.38 pts Windows Experience Index - CPU 7.7 Comparing to my previous review, i7-2600K, 2 CPUs performance difference is only Hyper-Threading and 3.3/3.4GHz clock. Hyper PI 32M, 2500K is much faster. It dues to 2600K is 4C8T, and the software needs to operate 8 Hyper PI 32M. However, dues to support Hyper-Threading, 2600K in most benchmark software have higher score. For single core test, 2500K, 3.3GHz, is still lose a little bit. However, 2500K default performance can run most applications already. Temperature (Room Temp. is around 16℃) System Idle - 17~26 CPU Full Speed - 31~40 Intel Burn Test v2.4,Stress Level Maximum |
2500K temperature is lower, even 2600K use high end cooler, because I lower the voltage and no Hyper-Threading. Under full speed, the temperature is still under 40℃. Intel 4 Cores CPU uses 32nm manufacturing is another reason. Power Consumption System Idle - 65W CPU Full Speed - 101W Through Power Angel test, the power consumption watt is very good. As 32nm manufacturing, Sandy Bridge 2500K with GTX 560 Ti power consumption is much lower. Comparing to LGA 1156 platform, its lower than i7-870 with ATI 5830 idle/full speed at least 70~100W. Sharing windwithme BIOS fine tune setup Boot Screen Main BIOS Tuning Menu, called M.I.T. Clock Setup Page CPU Clock/Frequency, DDR3 Multiplier 2500K in default mode setup has 37, 36, 35 and 34. Turbo Boost 2.0 technology has more detail CPU boosting mode. Internal PLL Voltage Override is new item in F7a BIOS. It can enhance CPU stability at 5GHz. Its limited for D2 version Sandy Bridge CPU and you need to pull CPU voltage to very high level. Memory Setup Page The items have 800, 1066, 1333, 1600, 1866 and 2133. Advanced DDR3 Parameters Setup Page Setup below is for DDR3 1866 CL8 10-9-24 1T Voltage Page Load-Line Calibration Auto/Disabled/Enabled CPU Vcore 0.750~1.700V QPI/Vtt Voltage 0.08~1.700V PCH Core 0.840~1.940V CPU PLL 1.520~2.520V DRAM Voltage 0.900~2.600V PC Health Status Sandy Bridge structure doesnt need to adjust too many BIOS items. However, the users need to pay more to buy K sku CPU, 2500K/2600K, to wide OC range. The other non-K sku only can OC to 105~108MHz. LGA 1155 structure segment is more clear but more limitation for OC. |
DDR3, I use USA CORSAIR latest CORSAIR VENGEANCE series, CMZ8GX3M2A1600C9 PK1 The packing shows it supports Core i7 platform and capacity is 2 X 4GB. The clock is DDR3 1600 and parameter is CL9 9-9-24 1.50V. Intel recommend Core I platform DDR3 voltage should be 1.650V. However, this VENGEANCE official spec only needs 1.50V. Its really helpful for power saving and OC voltage. The outlook is different as normal CORSAIR design. VENGEANCE uses new heatsink. All black design makes delicate be better. CPU 3392.2MHz DDR3 1596.4 CL8 9-8-25 1T 1.500V ADIA64 Memory Read - 18119 MB/s Sandra Memory Bandwidth - 20874 MB/s MaXXMEM Memory-Copy - 18956 MB/s I tried 2 D2 version Core i5-2500K and the built-in Memory Controller quality are different. One of them can achieve 100/2133, but the other one only can run at 100/1866. This is very important for OC DDR3. Its not only DRAM quality but also CPU. CPU 4801.7MHz DDR3 1867.4 CL8 10-9-24 1T 1.600V ADIA64 Memory Read - 21811 MB/s Sandra Memory Bandwidth - 23934 MB/s MaXXMEM Memory-Copy - 24605 MB/s Another advantage of Sandy Bridge platform is DRAM performance improvement. The dual channel is much better than LGA 1156 bandwidth and even close to LGA 1366 tri-channel. During test, VENGEANCE quality is good. I can set CL8 at DDR3 1600 and also can run DDR3 1866 CL8 by rising voltage. Pulling from 1600 to 1866 and rising CPU clock, ADIA64/MaXXMEM bandwidth performance is increasing around 20 to 30%. OC Performance CPU 100 X 48 => 4801.7MHz 1.360V Disable Turbo Boost, C1E and Internal PLL Voltage Override DDR3 1867.4 CL9 10-8-24 1T 1.660V Hyper PI 32M X4 => 8m 16.377s CPUMARK 99 => 741 Nuclearus Multi Core => 26687 Fritz Chess Benchmark => 29.64/14226 CrystalMark 2004R3 => 407352 CINEBENCH R11.5 CPU => 7.55 pts CPU(Single Core) => 1.93 pts Windows Experience Index - CPU 7.7 Windows Experience Index is still 7.7. I hope this built-in benchmark can be more detail for performance difference. In most software, under 2500K OC to 4.8GHz condition, the performance increases 30~40% compare to default mode. I would like to test CPU OC under 1.4V. It can run long term and no need to pull high clock or voltage. So, I disable Internal PLL Voltage Override here and dont test 5GHz which is over 1.4V. Temperature (Room Temp. is around 16℃) System Idle - 23~33 |
CPU Full Speed - 55~63 Intel Burn Test v2.4,Stress Level Maximum Under OC condition, it increases 6~7℃ in idle mode and 23~24℃ in full speed mode. I think the result is acceptable. If you install inside chassis, it will increase 5~8℃ more. Power Consumption System Idle - 85W CPU Full Speed - 179W The power consumption increases around 20/78W. Its very good result as well. Sandy Bridge power consumption is much lower than other socket platform. For power saving demand users, its a good choice. Using this high performance and clock platform with GTX 560 Ti, you just need one 500W PSU. I use MediaEspresso to compare the video converting time. DVD File VTS_01_1.VOB, capacity is 1023MB. 2500K convert to MP4 file. CPU default mode 6 55 CPU OC to 4.8GHz 506 Comparing default mode and OC to 4.8GHz, you can save 149, around 36%. Using P67, I cannot use latest Quick Sync Video to test the performance. I will test it with H67 platform. However, you can refer to the CPU clock to consider the performance improvement. 3D performance is using NVIDIA latest mid-high VGA, GIGABYTE GTX560 Ti SO. The product ID is N560SO-1GI, 1GB DDR5, and SO means Super OC. The original default clock is OC to GPU/DDR5 1GHz/4580MHz. 3DMark Vantage => P26244 FINAL FANTASY XIV 1920 X 1080 => 4939 LOST PLANET 2 DX11 1920 X 1200 TEST B - 52.7 fps |
DEVIL MAY CRY4 1920 X 1200 => 251.46/202.39/277.46/184.05 fps Comparing to previous GTX460, NVIDIA GTX560 Ti performance is much higher. Another reason is this model is OC version, the clock is higher than NVIDIA official GTX560 reference card. The 3D performance is much higher. Finally, I enable the Internal PLL Voltage Override CPU 100 X 54 => 5400MHz 1.600V Hyper PI 32M X1 => 6m 36.818s CPUMARK 99 => 833 GIGABYTE GA-P67A-UD3R Good 1.Its mainstream P67 product for GIGABYTE. The price is only higher than P67A-UD3. 2.New matte black PCB and new design make product be more elegant. 3.2oz PCB, All Japanese made solid caps and rich applications. 4.Rich BIOS items, wide voltage range and good CPU OC capability. 5.Built-in 2 SATAIII and 8 USB. Weak 1. It doesnt support NVIDIA SLI 2.CPU voltage only can display correct in own software. Some software cannot display the correct value. 3.1/31 news showed 6 series chipset has some potential issue with SATA2 devices. I hope Intel can solve this issue soon. Performance ★★★★★★★★☆☆ Components ★★★★★★★★☆☆ Specification ★★★★★★★☆☆☆ Outlook ★★★★★★★★☆☆ C/P Value ★★★★★★★★★☆ Since Sandy Bridge is 32nm, the Intel 4Cores CPU power consumption and temperature are much lower. For OC capability, comparing to 45nm i5-760, you can find running 4.2GHz stable one easily. Per new i5-2500K, if you have good cooler, it also can achieve 4.8~5.0GHz to run long term. According to manufacturing improvement, you can see the big performance gap between Sandy Bridge platform and pervious. Intel middle-high end C/P platform transfers from i5-760 with P55 MB to LGA 1155 i5-2500K with entry P67 MB. The CPU/MB price is only higher than last generation a little. Of course, LGA 1156 still has some advantages. Its cheaper and CPU OC range is higher. If you have less budget or doesnt want to buy Sandy Bridge K sku CPU, you also can consider LGA 1156. Currently, Intel has 4 different sockets which includes old LGA 775 and extreme position LGA 1366, last mainstream LGA 1156 and new mainstream LGA 1155. Its very complicated for users. I predict LGA 1155 will move to mid-low market in the future. LGA 1155 will take over the mid-high market few months later after SATA2 BUG issue. You can collect more price information and performance review before purchasing. Windwithme finish this review between Chinese New Year holiday. I wish you all have good fortune in Rabbit year. In new coming year, there are more and more high C/P value hardware. Thanks for reading this mainstream LGA 1155 review. :) This review is also post in my blog.WIND3C Welcome all of you to come and comment. |

Buy Gibson's Pattern Recognition at Amazon.com for 40% Off
In Pattern Recognition, Gibson, for the first time in a novel, turns his attention to the present day. Ono-Sendai decks are replaced with iBooks and cell phones. Websites and MPEG movies take the place of the consensual hallucination of cyberspace. Cory Doctorow has our review.
February 24, 2003 | books
"The future is here, it's just not evenly distributed." Perfect verbal gems like this drip off Gibson's tongue, seemingly effortlessly. He just sets his fingers on a keyboard or opens his mouth and slowly lays out these fantastic koans that become so popular that their origin is forgotten.
"The sky above the port was the color of television, tuned to a dead channel." This is, after all, the man who coined the word "cyberspace," a word that appears to have grown so popular as to be embarrassing, at least when Gibson checks into a Manhattan biz-hotel and takes temporary possession of a magnetic key-card on which "WELCOM TO CYBER SPACE" is emblazoned.
"The street finds its own use for things." Madison Avenue has found its own use for CYBER SPACE, made itself very WELCOM indeed, as have an infinite and dazzling array of scam-artists whose FATHER, the LATE GENERAL M'BUTO SESE SEKO, has left them with the SUM of $100,000,000. The Dreaded Rear Admiral Poindexter, Congress's favorite convicted felon, is still attempting to convince our lawmakers that they must be Totally Aware of Information, lest the scions of the LATE OSAMA BIN LADEN use our informational supercyberhighways to commit more uniquely mediagenic XXIst Century atrocities.
The future is here. Not the future of Neuromancer, Gibson's seminal 1984 novel. Despite the posturings of "Black Hat" and "White Hat" and "Grey Hat" haxx0rs, the computer criminals of 2003 are depressingly banal boiler-room scamsters who have all the cunning of a cabbage and whose PENIS ENLARGEMENT come-ons are as romantically raffish as the LOSE WEIGHT NOW ASK ME HOW sticker on the back of a dented 10-year-old four-cylinder minivan. Worm writers are less a testament to fiendish coding as they are to the fundamentally stupid security model of Outlook. None of these pissants deserve the noble title "con artist" -- they don't have the elan to class themselves with Yellow Kid Weil and the High-Ass Kid.
It's just not evenly distributed. The Explorer-using cubicledrones of 2003 may be subject to the depredations of popup windows and blinking banners, but even the least leet among them can download and install Mozilla. If Case, the console cowboy of Neuromancer were alive today, he'd deinstall whatever proprietary crapola OS shipped with his Ono-Sendai Cyberspace Deck, find a decent Debian build, and install Moz. Then, before his first run on the black ice, he'd right-click on its representation and select "Block lethal shocks from this server" from the pop-up menu.
Gibson wasn't writing about the future, of course. He was writing metaphor, a parable about the mid-80s, the thrusts of arcade-kids' chests as they attempted to climb into the Donkey Kong cabinet. The early information economy, the movement of computers out of air-conditioned purpose-built data-centers and into cute little machines that could lurk in the spare room, tethered by a 300 baud Hayes-compatible to Matthew Broderick's bedroom vocoder.
Famously, he wrote Neuromancer on a manual typewriter. He avers that this was not an aesthetic statement, but rather a reflection of his dire financial straits, and who are we to disbelieve him?
Today, Gibson uses a very slick MacOS laptop. He jets from city to city on a worldwide book-tour, playing to packed houses from Scandanavia to San Francisco, reading from his new book, "Pattern Recognition," a very fine novel that is, alarmingly, set in the present day.
In Pattern Recognition, the future is here. Cayce, the heroine of PR, is addicted to Hotmail. She travels with an iBook and logs into her ISP with a tethered GPRS cellphone (note to Apple/Nokia: you missed a hell of a promotional opportunity when you failed to give Gibson a gratis Bluetooth notebook and a matching phone). She is obsessed with a series of MPEG clips that surface at irregular intervals and are the subject of fierce debate in online communities.
Cayce is a brand-consultant. She has a particular and improbable mental disorder: an environmental allergy to shitty marketing. Drop her in the Tommy Hilfiger ward at the local Sak's and she'll have a nervous breakdown. She has bemused tradesmen grind the trademarks off the rivets in her Levi's. This is, of course, a brilliant conceit, one that affords Gibson endless opportunity to indulge in fantastically clever, captivating observances on the nature of brands and the regional differences thereof -- PR follows Cayce from London to Tokyo and elsewhere, and Gibson's riffs on the "looking-glass world" of British brands and consumer goods are nothing shy of genius.
The head of a zaibatsu-sized ad agency in London sends Cayce on a quest to discover the Maker of the Mysterious Video Clips. His motives are seemingly transparent: after all, this is the biggest marketing phenom, evar, and the genius behind it is so very clever that s/he must either be partnered with or destroyed. But Cayce (and her band of international, net-linked, polyglot adventurers and researchers) have purer motives: this is Good Art, and they want to meet the Artist and let her/him know how good this shit is.
The adventure is just what you'd ask for in a great, big new William Gibson novel, the first in three years, and a third longer than his last book. There're lots of false clues, a mystery with a genuinely surprising and eminently satisfying conclusion, zippy chases and snappy dialog. This is a very good book, I'm trying to say, a really satisfying story.
But there are problems. Much of the plot revolves around watermarks, key-loggers and the nature of internetworked communication, and to a skilled practitioner of these arts -- or even an avid follower of them -- the treatment of the details of these technologies rings hollow. Gibson is no technologist, he's an accomplished and insightful social critic and a fantastic writer, and he treats these items from the real world as metaphor -- just as he treated cyberspace as a metaphor for the world that the bodies of cabinet gamers yearned to enter.
Which is his prerogative. Fiction need not be true, only feel true, and I will freely stipulate that for the 90 percent of Gibson's audience who are not familiar with the works of Edward Felten on watermarking or the intricate details of keyboard wiretapping, the story feels very true indeed. I wouldn't even be surprised to find, in a year or two, that there were watermarking technologies that followed the form and function of Gibson's imagined technologies, just as there were companies that sprang up to produce a cyberspace that mirrored that of the Sprawl Trilogy that began with Neuromancer.
But I fear that, ultimately, Gibson's metaphorical treatment of these technologies will date this very fine book. While only a small fraction of the audience for this book today will be able to spot the narrative spackle holding the watermarks and such in place, fifteen years from now, this ability will be far more common.
Perhaps that's not a bad thing. Gibson's books are historical artifacts, after all. That's the price of being seminal -- your work ends up standing in for the zeitgeist of the world into which they were published.
It takes a very special eye to summon hindsight in respect of the events of the present, and this is Gibson's forté. Pattern Recognition may not be altogether accurate, but it is oh, so true.

The A.P. doesn't get to make its own rules around how its content is used, if those rules are stricter than the law allows. So even thought they say they are making these new guidelines in the spirit of cooperation, it's clear that, like the RIAA and MPAA, they are trying to claw their way to a set of property rights that don't exist today and that they are not legally entitled to. And like the RIAA and MPAA, this is done to protect a dying business model - paid content.According to Columbia law professor Timothy Wu, "'the principal question is whether the excerpt is a substitute for the story, or some established adaptation of the story.' . . . Mr. Wu said that the case is not clear-cut, but he believes that The A.P. is likely to lose a court case to assert a claim on that issue. 'It's hard to see how the Drudge Retort "first few lines" is a substitute for the story,' Mr. Wu said. "

The Associated Press Overreaches
The Associated Press, in a blatant disregard of fair use, is purporting to require payment for the quotation on a website of as few as five words from AP articles. The starting price, for five words, is $62.50 (@ $12.50/word). Pursuant to this policy, the AP has issued 6 DMCA takedown notices against the Drudge Retort, "claiming that the users linking to its stories are violating its copyright and committing 'hot news' misappropriation under New York state law." Apparently, the firestorm of protest the AP's new policy provoked has led to some rethinking on AP's part, but, as Michael Arrington of TechCrunch.com, explains:

Is Hillary working for the Trump campaign? She's given him a rallying cry and a theme song, for cryin' out loud,
Do you hear the people sing?
Singing a song of angry men?
It is the music of a people
Who will not be slaves again!
When the beating of your heart
Echoes the beating of the drums
There is a life about to start
When tomorrow comes!

Obama Defies Trump as Mexican Leader Visits After Convention
Trump has the POTUS in defiance mode?
I'll add video if I find the full press conference.
Spanish-language media is having hissy fits over Trump. Jaime Bayly, for instance, called the RNC "this picturesque event, this convention of lunatics, this witches' sabbath of warlocks and medicine men" – and that was just during the first minute of Tuesday's show (it goes down from there).
Almost makes me reconsider Trump.

Here's the speech:
was cleared by the Trump campaign. Paul Manafort, Trump's campaign manager, expressly approved the speech at 4:30 PM ET. The source, who was standing on the convention floor at the time of the speech, said that Trump operatives were present, urging the crowd to boo. "This was orchestrated by the Trump campaign to make Senator Cruz a pariah within the party," said the source.
Social media went crazy. Here are a few tweets:
From here, @TedCruz needs to go buy larger pants…to fit his balls. Good on you, sir. #RNCinCLE

— Marc Caputo (@MarcACaputo) July 21, 2016
Just more proof this is about submission. We were told for months Trump didn't need Cruz, but when he doesn't endorse they go apoplectic.
— Brian Phillips (@RealBPhil) July 21, 2016
Christopher Rush, commenting on what he experienced on the floor of the convention, posted a great video on Facebook.
As for those who think that Cruz was under any sort of obligation to keep a pledge to support a man who himself violated the pledge to support the party nominee,
referred to Cruz as Lyin' Ted nearly every time he mentioned him at rallies or on TV even after Cruz called off his campaign, insulted his wife, allegedly might have planted rumors in the National Enquirer, accused his father of being involved in JFK's murder, and even had his plane buzz Cruz's event the very afternoon of the RNC speech, Stuart Schneiderman has this to say (emphasis added),
In purely psychological terms, it is bad to kowtow to a bully. It is bad to give the impression, in any way, that you accept the role that you have been cast in. People have been saying that Trump was magnanimous in giving Cruz a prime time speaking slot, but Trump also orchestrated the boos and tried to steal the stage by walking into the convention as Cruz closed his speech. If you think that Trump was not trying to rub his defeated rival's face in the mud, you do not understand very much.
Supposedly, Trump is a master of reality television. The unfortunate thing is that nominating conventions are not reality television. By all indications he has failed at organizing the convention.
Who is at fault for the Cruz non-endorsement. Donald Trump, that's who. If Trump wanted an endorsement, he should have been magnanimous in victory and taken back the flood of insults that were directed against all of the candidates, but most viciously against Ted Cruz. He should have apologized. When he did not, Cruz could not have endorsed Trump without accepting the caricature that Trump had established.
If someone is bullying you, the one thing you cannot do is to give in and to accept the role he is casting you in.
When Trump did not take back his slanders, he left Cruz no other choice but to set an example by standing up to a bully. Others who have suffered the wrath of Trump did not show up. Others who made the pledge do not feel bound by it.
Schneiderman concludes, and I wholeheartedly agree,
If the nominee does not reach out, does not apologize for the torrent of insults he shot out at all his serious opponents, he has relieved them of their obligation to keep their pledge. For all I know, Trump might have found a winning strategy. Many people do not understand that the inability to apologize is a sign of weakness, not strength. How many there are, we do not yet know.
If your response to an appeal to conscience is to raucously boo, maybe your conscience is trying to tell you something. Want to unify the Republican Party? You may want to start there.
What is Trump up to this morning? Doing a dumpster run on NATO.
'Vote Your Conscience' Was A Rorschach Test, And Donald Trump's Campaign Failed
The only sensible Trump response to "vote your conscience" and "vote for freedom and candidates with principles" was to thank Cruz for the rousing speech and his commitment to conservative principles. Praise him for his defense of freedom, and then turn his call to "vote your conscience" into an endorsement of Trump's agenda. After all, there's only one candidate in the race who wants to put America first, there's only one candidate who wants to keep America safe, there's only one candidate who has what it takes to Make America Great Again. If you believe in restoring American greatness, then your conscience can only tell you one thing: vote Trump. If you believe in restoring the values that made America the greatest in nation in history, then your conscience can only tell you one thing: vote Trump. If you believe that strong leadership and a commitment to the American people are what's required to keep this country strong, then your conscience can only tell you one thing: vote Trump.
That's all Trump's team had to do.
They had hours (an eternity in campaign time), if not days, to prepare for it. They could've flooded the zone with surrogates pushing that message. They could've worked it into Gingrich's and Pence's speeches. If they could spend a week saying that former campaign manager Corey Lewandowski never touched Michelle Fields, that she might have been planning to attack Trump with a bomb hidden inside a ballpoint pen, that we've always been at war with Eastasia, Team Trump could've spent a couple of hours pretending that "vote your conscience" was an endorsement of Trump's agenda and a clear denunciation of Hillary Clinton.
But they couldn't; they needed a scapegoat, which is exactly why they scheduled Cruz's speech for that night.

Readers of this blog know I'm no fan of Donald Trump, but I very much enjoyed Trump the Press: Don Surber's take on how the pundits blew the 2016 Republican race.
Don kindly sent a galley copy for review, and I appreciate it.
A journalist with thirty years' experience as editorial writer and columnist, he also blogs, and used his experience with great skill. Trump the Press is, as Austin Bay puts it,
an essential first history that is also a fun and witty romp.
It is meticulously documented, all the while asking, "Why am I bothering with these losers, you may ask."
Why? Because we need to examine the arrogance, elitism, dinero, and herd mentality of the professional media bubble and how news are manipulated. And you'll find no better journalist to thoroughly tackle the subject than Don Surber.
A good read, and not only for the news junkie or Trump fan, but for all.

Although surgical procedures are available; opting for alternative medicine to facilitate hair growth is another choice. Capsicum is one such "natural remedy," suggested by Herbs for Hair Loss.
The American Cancer Society describes capsicum as a group of plants belonging to the Solanaceae family. "Capsaicin is the most-studied active ingredient in the plant." Common varieties include the cayenne, jalapeno and other hot peppers.
Hair Growth
According to Herbs for Hair Loss, capsicum, or the red pepper, "draws blood to the scalp because of irritation. It is also said to help encourage the release of histamines that stimulate hair re-growth."
Hair Tonic
Best Hair Loss considers capsicum a "natural hair growth stimulator." Cover and simmer red peppers in warm water for 10 minutes. Allow to cool. Strain, put it in a bottle and use this "hair growth tonic" to cure hair loss.
Capsicum is available in tea, tonic and capsule form in all leading health stores.
According to the American Cancer Society, capsaicin is approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Capsaicin gels, creams and ointments are safe to use on skin. Consumption of cayenne pepper is considered harmless for those "not allergic to peppers."

In the NES game parody of ours, Simon is back in town after killing Dracula in Castlevania 2... but now he finds that the priest won't even restore his health! It's quite obvious that this shit-talkin' priest needs to be taught a lesson or two!
Controls are:
Z = Jump
X = Whip
Click or Spacebar = Start
(if you have problems controlling the character, just click on the game and the problem will resolve itself
And don't forget to return to town after you beat the game, because there's a "Secret Button" on your keyboard that you'll DEFINITELY want to push while you're in town! >:) You WILL need to CLOSE THE WINDOW and re-open the game to return to town just so you know. And you DON'T have to beat the game to access the secret item, but isn't it more fun to save it for last? And it doesn't tell you what the secret button is, you gotta figure out that for yourself! ;)
Enjoy the blasphemy of Priest Battle!

The Argentina international would face a race against time to be fit to face the Spanish champions if his coach's fears that he will miss eight weeks are realized.
City boss Manuel Pellegrini confirmed following his side's 3-1 win against Leicester City in the Capital One Cup that the striker will be out of action for around eight weeks, having limped out of the 6-3 win over Arsenal on Saturday after just 50 minutes.
Pellegrini revealed on Monday that his star striker would miss "at least one month", pending the verdict of club doctors, and the Chilean now believes that it could be as many as two months.
"I am not a doctor. It is very difficult," he told reporters. "The doctor has said he has at least one month or eight weeks. We will see. I don't how many weeks but it will be at least one month. It is very difficult to know at this moment how many weeks it can be."
Having missed Tuesday's game against the Foxes, Aguero could sit out as many as 12 matches should he be out of action for the full eight weeks.
If that is the case, he would surely be unable to make the first leg of the Barcelona clash, which is scheduled for Feb. 18.
He will almost certainly play no part in Premier League clashes against Liverpool, Tottenham and Chelsea, as well as the FA Cup third-round tie with Blackburn.
City progressed to the semifinals of the Capital One Cup after two goals from Edin Dzeko and one from Alexandar Kolarov helped see off Championship side Leicester at the King Power Stadium.

Nosa Farm Stay
at our airBNB they have chickens and a big garden . When we first arrived, we went into the chicken pen to feed them. It felt cool having them peck out of your hand. The orange hens were more aggressive than the black gens. There was one chicken named Milly who was hatching two eggs. We had to bring her food, as she couldn't move. Sadly, they both ...
