The Fox and the Grapes
September 23, 2011Posted by on
One hot summer's day, a fox strolled through an orchard until he came to a bunch of ripe grapes on a vine trained over a lofty branch.
"Just the thing to quench my thirst," he cried.
Drawing back a few paces, he took a run and a jump, and just missed the bunch. Turning round again with a "One, Two, Three," he jumped up, but with no greater success. Again and again he sought the tempting morsels, but at last had to give it up, and walked away with his nose in the air, saying:
"I am sure they are sour."
Moral: It is easy to despise what you cannot get.
Please post a comment if you know who this fable should be attributed to.

I used to borrow this from a friend who never stopped talking about how amazing it was. Well I finally went and got some for myself and I really like it. It's quite light but feels very nourishing on my skin, feels particularly nice to use it at night just before bed. I've found it leaves my skin feeling very soft and would certainly recommend it.
The only problem is, it's a little on the pricey side.

Resigning from the Human Race!!
We had only stopped to find a toilet and of course I rushed off without thinking about the bag, I mean the car was locked with nothing in sight! We were gone for 12 minutes exactly and the car was in sight of a small cafe - well there you have it - unbelievable !!
The police where it happened firstly refused to come to the scene and then refused to take our complaint for almost 2 hours whilst they had their lunch!! Their attitude was 'oh it happens all the time at that car park!' DUH!!
Needless to say we didn't take up their invitation to call later but headed straight home so's that we could alert the banks etc of the theft. I have just spent hours at the local police station with a very kind Gendarme sorting out the details, but I suspect that the only thing that will come out of it all is a piece of paper for the insurance company - other than a pounding headache that is and an extra long French language practice!!!
The cards have been cancelled, the cheque numbers recorded so that's no longer a problem - but what is a problem is all the inconvinience caused by having our documents stolen! They are no use to anyone as they all carry photos. They have all been issued to Foreign nationals, so can't be used by anyone else, so why bother taking them when all they can do is dump them !
There's also the small problem of our address and house keys being in my bag, so whether we'll sleep tonight or not is debatable!
So now you'll understand why I am thinking of resigning from the human race and spending more time with my cat - well, for today at least!!

That is awfull. As you say it is not about the worth of the stolen stuff, but the hassle you have to go through.

- Kaye said...
Oh Ann I am so sorry that happened to you. Doesn't it make you feel so violated? Most times in that kind of robbery its desperate people looking for cash or something to sell for drugs. Thats why they take such chances. Imagine, breaking in, ransacking the car and taking your purse in 12 minutes. I definately would change the locks on the car and the house asap. Keep your chin up. at least no one was in the car and no one was in juredpreci

That's an awful thing to have happen. You should probably change the locks on your house, don't take any chances.

Oh NO!!! How horrible! I can see why you are so stressed! I hope they catch the thief!
I have been stressed today too! But not for reasons like you have...just found out that my 16 yr old has the chance to go on a school trip...9 days to Rome, Florence, Paris and the Swiss Alps!!! I am just sick at the thought of him being halfway around the world without me! :( He will not be going until March so maybe I will adjust to the idea by then!

How can people behave like that?
Try not to worry, and get the locks changed as soon as.

Oh Ann that's terrible news! I'd change the house locks, I wouldn't be able to sleep at night.

- Marianne said...
The most important thing is that neither you nor your husband was hurt! Focus on that and the hassle of all the paperwork fades somewhat.
Make sure you get your locks changed asap both car and house locks and check your insurance policy because it might not cover you if you don't.
I know how upsetting this is for you and I am very, very sorry for you. Such a comfort that you don't live on your own. Take care.

Get the locks changed quickly. It's bad enough having something like that happen in the UK where at least you can speak the language, but over here, with all the "officials". Best of luck with getting the paperwork replaced.
This will cheer you up. Had to go to La Poste the other day to post some letters - England, Paris and Poitiers. In the Paris envelope was my word for Tonya's Halloween Challenge, being sent to her DH for him to take to Florida with him. The lady behind the counter was adamant that tissu should not be posted. You can't post that, it's not allowed. Pas courier she kept on saying. Stuck to my guns and eventually she gave in. Next letter to England was in one of those prepaid envelopes that you get from La Poste. She was sure that those did not include Monde Entier, which was written on the front of the envelope. Non, non et non! I promise you - I'm never ever going to post another letter from Nontron post office if she's behind the counter. God damn French Jobsworth's!

(((hugs))) that sounds awful. I hope you get everything replaced soon and that the days to come ease some of the frustration and anger. Keep safe.

how awful for you. I remember feeling so violated when my car was broken into a few years ago.
Please change your house locks ASAP for peace of mind if nothing else.
Sending you lots of hugs
love and hugs Gina xxx

Oh Ann, how terrible. Will be thinking of you with warm thoughts and loads of hugs.

Hundreds of federal prisoners in California and eight other Western states will have to be resentenced under a ruling by the U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco on Wednesday.
The ruling was the first action from the appeals court after a landmark U.S. Supreme Court decision last month on sentencing in federal cases.
The Supreme Court ruled that the federal government's sentencing guidelines could not be binding on judges. As a result, federal judges are free in pending cases to give prison terms that are shorter or longer than those called for under the guidelines.
But the ruling left unclear how to handle the cases of prisoners who had already been sentenced under the guidelines. The high court left that issue for lower courts to decide.

Tips for Selling your Apps
Hundreds of apps have been successfully sold on sellmyapplication.com under a variety of software license types. Below we've compiled the top 10 things that successful sellers on our marketplace do to find buyers for their applications, web sites, or other assets. If you're in a rush just skip to the bottom to begin listing your asset or license for sale now.
Top 10 Tips to Sell Your or License Your App Business
1) Choose a short, but descriptive title for your ad. Try to keep the title to no more that 40 characters. This will be the first thing visible to potential buyers as well as for search engines indexing our site. Choose something that descriptive and includes some key words that can be searched on.
2) For the description of your app business include the most important details in the first few sentences. The first few sentences will be visible in the short view and should include the key elements of what is for sale as to entice potential buyers to click the "Details" button to take them to the full ad description.
3) Participate actively in our community! Post comments, update your user profile, contact sellers, provide feedback for the site or users, post blog posts, view many ads and connect with as many folks as possible. Each user will be rewarded with badges for various activities as well as generate reputation points. This increases your status within our marketplace which makes potential buyers more likely to want to do business with you.
4) Consider upgrading your ad to "Featured" status. Featured ads get priority and are more prominently displayed within our marketplace.
5) Sellers will contact you via the "Contact Seller" module and an email will be sent via a sellmyapplication.com email address (make sure to check all folders in your email program to make sure the contact emails aren't being filtered by your email servers). Our contact seller module allows sellers not to have to disclose any contact information until they are ready to negotiate with serious buyers.
6) Set a reasonable price! This is one of the most important factors that determines success with finding a buyer. Many users don't accurately price their app for a variety of reasons. If your app doesn't have revenue or a user base it can be difficult to value. Provide details that explains how you get to your valuation to help potential buyers understand the value and license type so they can make appropriate offers.
7) Publicize your listing. Use your social media connections, post a link back to your ad on your website, send emails out to your friends, or any other method you have that can put your ad in front of as many people as possible. It's important to put up a "For Sale" sign up and link back to your ad to help get increased visibility.
8) Set your expectation appropriately. Most apps that are priced properly take about 30-60 days to find potential buyers.
9) Try to keep your ad near the top of marketplace listings whenever possible. Use the "Bump This Ad" button to push your ad back to the top of the "Just Listed" ads. Ads at the top usually get more attention than ads that are on the second or third pages.
10) If you sell your app ask the buyer to rate you so you can get more points and badges to help you increase your reputation for future purchases. Let folks know that you are highly rated.
Get started now. It only take about 10 minutes to list an ad:

The eight above-identified patent applications are hereby incorporated herein by reference.
This invention generally relates to laser diodes used as an optical transmitter for a fiber optic system by direct modulation.
The quality and performance of a digital transmitter is determined by the distance over which the transmitted digital signal can propagate without severe distortions. This is typically characterized as the distance over which a dispersion penalty reaches a level of ˜1 dB. A standard 10 Gb/s optical digital transmitter, such as an externally modulated source, can transmit up to a distance of ˜50 km in standard single mode fiber at 1550 nm before the dispersion penalty reaches the level of ˜1 dB. This distance is typically called the dispersion limit. The dispersion limit is determined by the fundamental assumption that the digital signal is transform-limited, i.e., the signal has no time-varying phase across its bits and the signal has a bit period of 100 ps, or 1/(bit rate) for a 10 Gb/s optical digital transmitter.
High speed optically modulated digital signals are composed of pulses of different width. These pulses distort after propagation in a dispersive fiber because they typically have a wide frequency content. Since these constituting frequencies propagate at different speeds in the fiber, they become of out phase and cause the pulses to distort. Use of signals with narrowed spectrum can therefore help reduce the distortion caused by fiber dispersion since the degree of difference in propagation speed within the signal spectrum (i.e dispersion) is in proportion to the spectral width of the modulated signal.
Another technique to overcome the dispersion limit of fiber transmission is addition of transient chirp to the signal. Transient chirps is an increase or decrease in the frequency of the carrier, which occurs at the rising and falling edges of the digital signal in a time much shorter than the bit period. A red frequency shift on rising edge and a blue frequency shift on falling edge, typically called negative chirp, improves the transmission of NRZ signal over standard single mode fiber (SSMF) with positive dispersion. Such transient chirp can be generated by electro-absorption (EA) external modulator with high negative DC bias or small detuning of bandgap of the absorbing layer from incident wavelength. An externally LiNbO3 modulated signal can be also used to generate transient chirp. The example of this pre-chirping technique is shown in
Transient chirp can also be obtained by forming an external cavity laser consisting of semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) chip to provide gain and an external fiber Bragg grating (FBG) to form the laser cavity (
In the preferred embodiment of the present invention, the reach of a digital signal is extended beyond the dispersion limit by adding an optical band pass filter after the transmitter to restrict the optical bandwidth of the modulated signal. The center frequency of the optical band pass filter (OBPF) maybe aligned with or slightly shifted relative to the center of the modulated signal spectrum.
In another embodiment of the present invention, the transmission performance of an FBG external cavity laser, shown in
It is another feature of the present invention to provide optimum combination of chirp characteristics and filtering characteristics.
It is another embodiment of the present invention to extend the reach of the external cavity laser by adding a filter to remove part of the output spectrum of the laser, here called vestigial side band filtering.
The invention provides a solution to mitigate the fiber dispersion limitation. In one embodiment of the present invention a second grating (e.g. an FBG) is placed after the isolator in
A method for transmission beyond the dispersion limit was provided in which a frequency modulated source is flowed by an optical filter, sometimes also called an optical spectrum reshaper as described in U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10/289,944, filed Nov. 6, 2002 by Daniel Mahgerefteh et al. for POWER SOURCE FOR A DISPERSION COMPENSATION FIBER OPTIC SYSTEM; and U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11/068,032, filed Feb. 28, 2005 by Daniel Mahgerefteh et al. for OPTICAL SYSTEM COMPRISING AN FM SOURCE AND A SPECTRAL RESHAPING ELEMENT. This transmitter is called a Chirp Managed laser (CML™) by Azna LLC of Wilmington Mass. A variety of frequency modulated (FM) sources where described. It is an embodiment of the present invention that the FM source be an external cavity laser (ECL). The ECL may comprise a waveguide Bragg grating or a fiber Bragg grating.
By generating a signal with adiabatic chirp from an external cavity laser followed by an optical filter or optical spectrum reshaper, it is possible to further benefit the filtering effects as described in the followings section.
In order to generate VSB signal by using band-pass filters, the center frequency of the transmission spectra for the filter can be detuned from the center of the spectrum for the modulated signal. When the amount of detuning coincides with around the half of the FWHM of the band-pass filter, there is net slope of transmission for the filter, and this offset can be used to preferentially suppress one of the side band over the other. For example, in order to generate VSB signal at 10 Gb/s NRZ or RZ signals, the FHHM of the band pass filter can be 5 GHz-20 GHz, the corresponding detuning can be 5 GHz-20 GHz, respectively.
In order to generate VSB signal by using edge filters, the center frequency of the modulated signal can be tuned to coincide with the edge of the filter.
In the above examples, either un-chirped or transient chirped signal were discussed. When the modulated signal has adiabatic chirp, then, further improvement in the transmission distance is expected. The detail of the principle is described and filed in U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10/289,944, filed Nov. 6, 2002 by Daniel Mahgerefteh et al. for POWER SOURCE FOR A DISPERSION COMPENSATION FIBER OPTIC SYSTEM; and U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11/068,032, filed Feb. 28, 2005 by Daniel Mahgerefteh et al. for OPTICAL SYSTEM COMPRISING AN FM SOURCE AND A SPECTRAL RESHAPING ELEMENT. As shown in
In another embodiment of the present invention the second optical filter is a band pass filter, which is nearly centered on the output spectrum of the ECL or other transmitter output spectrum.
The OBPF used in this simulation is a 3-rd order Bessel filter with a 3-dB bandwidth of 14 GHz. It can be seen that the BB sensitivity degrades by 0.8 dB due to bandwidth limiting effect that reduces the eye opening (red curve for BB with filter). After transmission over 140 km, however, the sensitivity improves by use of filter by 1.2 dB (blue dotted curve) compared to the case where there is no filter (orange dotted curve). The bandwidth of OBPF is optimized to be 14 GHz in this case to set an example of the implementation. In practice, the optimum bandwidth can range from 10 GHz to 18 GHz depending on the rise/fall times of the external modulators used.
The improvement in sensitivity can be understood by observing the corresponding eye diagram shown in
The improvement described above can be also understood in time domain by observing the chirp profile before and after the OBPF as shown in
In order to further look into the origin of improvement in sensitivity by way of OBPF,
It will be appreciated that still further embodiments of the present invention will be apparent to those skilled in the art in view of the present disclosure. It is to be understood that the present invention is by no means limited to the particular constructions herein disclosed and/or shown in the drawings, but also comprises any modifications or equivalents within the scope of the invention.

About Me
Sharing happiness... =))
"Who in the world am I? Ah, that's the great puzzle."
-Lewis Carroll, Alice in Wonderland
I just quit my job to embrace another great adventure! Traveling around the Northeast of Brazil to choose a new place to call home!! =P
"A man needs to travel. By his means, not by stories, images, books or TV. By his own, with his eyes and feet, to understand what is his. For some day planting his own trees and giving them some value. To know the cold for enjoying the heat. To feel the distance and lack of shelter for being well under his own roof. A man needs to travel to places he doesn't know for breaking this arrogance that causes us to see the world as we imagine it, and not simply as it is or may be. That makes us teachers and doctors of what we have never seen, when we should just be learners, and simply go see it." (Amyr Klink - Brazilian sailor and writer)
"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover."
-- Mark Twain
Vai menina, fecha os olhos. Solta os cabelos. Joga a vida. Como quem nao tem o que perder. Como quem nao aposta. Como quem brinca somente. Vai, esquece do mundo. Molha os pés na poça. Mergulha no que te dá vontade. Que a vida não espera por voce. Abraça o que te faz sorrir. Sonha que é de graça. Não espere. Promessas vão e vem. Planos, se desfazem. Regras, voce as dita. Palavras, o vento leva. Distancia, só existe pra quem quer. Sonhos se realizam, ou nao. Os olhos se fecham um dia, pra sempre. E o que importa voce sabe, menina. eh o quão isso te faz sorrir. E só. "

I want to be dangerous – it appeals to me, the danger in being dangerous. It excites me. I want to be at the edge of power – I deserve it, the weight of the universe on my shoulders. It is my curse, my bane and my guiltiest pleasure. I want to be unattainable – out of reach, like stars, looking down upon tranquility.
But it is not my nature – just my desire.

One of the most anticipated moments at the 59th Annual Grammy Awards was the promised appearance from Beyoncé.
Well, it was more than just an appearance, it was a performance art piece that not everyone truly understood.
Did you think Beyonce's performance was pretentious or perfect?

Your rental's photography is often the first opportunity that you have to appeal to guests. The photography helps to hook and reel in the travellers, but your description and well written copytext is primarily what converts your rental bookings. Without a high-quality description, your rental will just blend into the morass of unimpressive and characterless properties.
We can write a well-researched, 350-600 word description for your rental and translate it into multiple languages. You can then use this copytext rights free, on any marketing material or website. This service is ideally suited to individual home owners and agencies of any size who wish to broaden their marketing to include multiple countries.
High quality descriptions all written by hand
German, Spanish, Dutch, Italian, English...
Property information and local areas are diligently researched
No computers / automation. 100% fluent.
We will write a high quality, well-researched description for your rental (350-600 words). Discounted rates available for multiple rentals in the same project.
We will translate your rental description into a choice of French, German, Spanish, Italian, Russian or Dutch. Discounted rates are available for multiple translations.

This just arrived this afternoon.
It's a new pair of Adidas! This one's a high-cut and a bit lighter than the low-cut, old pair of Adidas I've been using for a year. I've some nice time with it in my little nook. Feeling the pair. Took some quick pictures. Put them on. They fit fine.
So I went to Norkis Park to try them. Won two games in a row. That says a lot. Now this pair will bring me to places, far far places.

A Course of Modern Analysis (Cambridge Mathematical Library)
This classic text has entered and held the field as the standard book on the applications of analysis to the transcendental functions. The authors explain the methods of modern analysis in the first part of the book and then proceed to a detailed discussion of the transcendental function, unhampered by the necessity of continually proving new theorems for special applications. In this way the authors have succeeded in being rigorous without imposing on the reader the mass of detail that so often tends to make a rigorous demonstration tedious. Researchers and students will find this book as valuable as ever.

From what I've read this is most likely a driver problem. You should go to the manufacture of your laptop's website to obtain the latest drivers.

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'Heavy Equipment & Pavement' started by dubb, Mar 13, 2010.
yes, its a 2spd
lucky you!!
More like 2 range hydrostatic system ,top speed is just over 6 mp/h, low range is under 3 mp/h, not the quick push-your-branis-to-the-back-of-your-god-damn-skull kinda speed with the others.
Just like an excavator, but a bit faster.
That is a Bobcat brand bucket for sure. A nice spill guard on the back of it would really help you heap the bucket and take advantage of the capacity of that machine. Nice machine, I'm sure you're glad you had the patients to wait for the right deal.
yes, i have been looking for quite sometime now and itchin to get one. luckily i found this one at a decent price. i did notice the two speed is not as quick as the tl150 i operated a while back, but hey still a great machine!!
I think the 120 has two speed also.

Transfer pumps are typically used for moving Farm Dairy Effluent (FDE) from a sump/tank to a separator, large holding tank or pond, or a recycling tank for flood washing. These pumps can deliver large volumes in a short time if required, but only at low pressure.
We highly recommend and sell DODA (Italian made) transfer pumps as they have been designed to handle thick FDE on European farms, and can pump from 200 litres per minute up to 4,500 litres per minute.
DODA transfer pumps are specifically designed for pumping thick waste which standard pumps cannot cope with. Rotating chopping knives finely chop solid waste, straw, maize and grass silage. Nozzles can be used to control the volume to the separator, and an optional propeller can be used to vigorously stir waste.
A specially designed pump head allows effortless pumping of large volumes to moderate heads.

Approximately 400 year-round residents live there and the unspoilt wildness of the place is a perfect backdrop to my characters' struggles and triumphs.

#6 The Sun Is Very Close
And a lot smaller than we think. It is located at the distance of 3,000 miles from the Earth and it is only 32 miles wide. The main task of the Sun is to act like a lightbulb and shine on the flat Earth surface.
However, if the Earth is, in fact, a circle where the North Pole is at the center and a giant ice ring (Antarctica) is around the edges, how would you explain the midnight Sun at the poles or even different seasons throughout the year?

Forum Editor 08:59 08 Feb 2003
but perhaps a little less sarcasm in your message to Mustek might have been more acceptable. I would certainly not be too happy if I received such a derisory email. Mustek is a very large company and has a good reputation, there's obviously a problem with their European site at the moment however.
A little searching works wonders however, and I suggest you
click here which will take you to the download page for European drivers. Make sure that you download the full package - Generic scanning module, TWAIN driver, and the panel. The drivers work in Windows 98/ME/2000/XP by the way.
Good luck - come back to this thread if you're still having problems.

Garodnick to DEC: Too Many Unanswered Questions to Allow Hydrofracking
The prospect of hydrofracking raises too many significant questions crucial to the health and safety of New York's residents, to the environment and to the State's financial health to allow it to proceed at this time, Council Member Garodnick said in testimony before the state's Department of Environmental Conservation.
Council Member Garodnick argued in favor of a 7-mile buffer around New York City's water tunnels in addition to a buffer around the watershed itself. He also questioned how the toxic wastewater from the fracking process would be treated, safely stored and eventually disposed of, as well as whether State agencies have the adequate manpower to enforce regulations on horizontal drilling.
Council Member Garodnick added that the costs related to fracking – including $211 to $378 million in annual roadway repairs due to the 1.5 million truck trip the industry would generate – must be borne by the industry itself, and not taxpayers.

Can't clone a new drive; can copy and rename drive letter work?
I recently bought a faster 2TB hard drive to replace my old 1TB 'games' hard drive. Unfortunately, the software that came with the drive (Seagate Disc Wizard) will not clone my 'games' hard drive onto the new hard drive. Every time I try the clone, the software tries to reboot the PC, thinking that I'm trying to clone the OS onto the new drive, and I'm not.
Will copying everything from the old drive onto the new drive and then renaming the new drive letter (I to the old 'games' drive letter (E (after removing the original 'games' HDD) work the same?

When cloning software asks you to reboot it's because they notice that some of the stuff you want to clone is used by Windows somehow. Even if you were just copying files or whatever. Maybe Steam was active or some kind of background program.
Anyway, in case that utility is just dumb, you can try with the program I use all day, EaseUs Partition master. Once installed, just clik on Wizard and then on Clone disk wizard, follow the wizard and you're set. Click on Apply when ready.
In case it asks for a reboot, let it do so (it takes a bit of time for so big drives though, so do it when you have something to watch on TV or whatever). If you selected the right drives in the wizard it won't screw with C, maybe it just needs everything to be sleeping while doing its job.

Thanks. According to Seagate Disc Wizard, if I'm not cloning a disc with the OS on it (ie. C then the cloning process should start without a reboot. I've tried everything, formatting the new drive without a drive letter, cloning the new drive as a non-system GPT style, etc and it still asks for a reboot.
I'm going to give EaseUs Partition Manager a try later today and will get back to you as to success or failure.

Hiyya rzn another app you might try (I have used both this one and the EasUS to do one) is the Partition Wizard it will clone wipe partition and just about anything.
Now the problem I found with the EasUS app was that you could clone from small to lareg but not the other way - unless they have changed it recently.
Best Free Partition Manager Freeware and free partition magic for Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows Vista and Windows XP 32 bit & 64 bit. MiniTool Free Partition Manager Software Home Edition.
another I use is this Macrium Reflect FREE Edition - Information and download < but I prsonally prefer the Partition Wizard.

Thanks bobafetthotmail and ICit2lol!
I used the EasUs Partition Manager's clone wizard and was able to clone my 1TB to a new 2TB drive. The only thing...you know the Windows disc display in My Computer that shows the drive status (blue if OK and red if capacity is <10%)? It also copied that information, so now my new drive shows red, too.
But I can live with that as long as I'm up on the new drive.
Thanks again and I hope you both had a good Christmas.

You sure the cloned disk says it is 2 TB in My Computer? If not use the partition manager to increase the partition size of that disk to 2 TB (using the whole drive's capacity, not just 1 TB and leaving 1 TB unallocated). Should be quick to do this time.

BP relooping video of oil leak, expert charges
Oil company BP announced on Wednesday that the "static kill" operation to plug its ruptured Deepwater Horizon oil well from above with drilling mud had achieved its "desired outcome" of temporarily controlling the flow of oil.
Oil industry expert Bob Cavnar, however, is skeptical of BP's rosy evaluation.
"You don't know if that well's actually killed down below," he told MSNBC's Keith Olbermann on Tuesday. "Because of all the damage down below, it could be flowing into another zone, it could be flowing some place else into the substrata. The only way you kill this well is with the relief well from down below."
When Olbermann asked whether we can be sure that the underwater video feed is legitimate, Cavnar laughed and replied, "It's very interesting. I got up early this morning . … I was very concerned about this connector I've been talking about for the last couple of weeks. They had a good shot of that so I watched that for a while … came back about 30 minutes later, and it replayed. And I noticed that the time was an hour and a half behind the current time. So they were relooping some of the video feed, and it was not live."
"I always wondered if they want you to see what they want you to see," Cavnar suggested, "and sometimes if they have something else going on they just loop the tape for a while before they go back to live."
Suspicions that BP is looping its video feed have been raised repeatedly on various message boards over the last couple of months. One blogger reported as early as May 23 seeing the live feed freeze just as a major gush of oil erupted, followed after a page reload by a much clearer view with "no more black chaos."
In addition to voicing concerns about the video, Cavnar had questions about why BP has spent the last several weeks undertaking other operations, like the "top kill," rather than completing the drilling of a relief well to provide a permanent solution to the leak.
"This is the one thing I just don't understand," he told Olbermann. "This deepest relief well is only four feet from the intercept point. .. They're right there and they've lost three weeks of operations. … Had they just kept going, I think they could have already had the well killed instead of doing all this nonsense from the top."
This video is from MSNBC's Countdown, broadcast Aug. 3, 2010.

Uh, Dancing with the Stars, we already watch you every week. You didn't need to bribe us with TV theme songs!
That said, we definitely had a good time this week—for the most part—as the stars danced to the themes of some of our favorite shows, from The Golden Girls to Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles to True Blood and everything in between. We've also got quite a medley of songs in our head, so thank you for that.
We're also now totally obsessed with the total masterpiece that was Alexa PenaVega and Mark Ballas jazz routine to the Breaking Bad theme. It's a thing we never knew we needed until we got it, and now it's our favorite thing of all time, on par with Riker Lynch's Jack Sparrow routine from last season.
We also watched a Ninja Turtle bust out a jive and witnessed a Backstreet Boy nailing a dance to the Downton Abbey theme, and nothing made sense, but it was all beautiful anyway.
Unfortunately, in some terribly upsetting news, tonight's elimination was based not on merit but on dumb rules. Since Kim Zolciak-Biermann was unable to perform due to being stuck in Atlanta after suffering a mini-stroke, she was forced to withdraw from the competition.
That meant that Andy Grammer and Paula Deen, who found themselves in the bottom two tonight, were safe for the week, but for the saddest reason. All scores from this week will be added to next week's scores.
Check out the full list of scores below!
Paula Deen and Louis van Amstel: 20/40
Gary Busey and Anna Trebunskaya: 25/40
Andy Grammer and Allison Holker: 30/40
Hayes Grier and Emma Slater: 30/40
Tamar Braxton and Val Chmerkovskiy: 31/40
Carlos PenaVega and Witney Carson: 31/40
Alek Skarlatos and Linsday Arnold: 33/40
Bindi Irwin and Derek Hough: 32/40
Alexa PenaVega and Mark Ballas: 36/40
Nick Carter and Sharna Burgess: 36/40
Who was your favorite? Do you think the rules should be bent so that Kim can return to the competition? Sound off in the comments!
