Watcher's Council Nominations – Cuba Betrayed Edition
JoshuaPundit on Dec 17 2014 at 2:01 pm | Filed under: Nominations
With today's announcement by President Obama that the U.S. will be normalizing relations with Cuba, American foreign policy took a very dark turn. Just at the point when this hideous regime was on the verge of collapse, our president took action that will not promote freedom for the Cuban people, but will throw an economic lifeline to a brutal dictatorship to enable it to stay in power. Disgraceful and shameful beyond words.

Moving to Kansas focus which requires infrastructure spend tells me the ample inventory of drilling locations within the existing infrastructure isn't up to snuff. I've see one good well of 900 bopd and one around 400 bopd and way too many blow 50 bopd....toss in the decline rates and it doesn't look good. Granted they hit a good well in Kansas...but OK results show the Miss Lime doesn't offer up very repeatable results....and I'm not so sure that Kansas will be any more repeatable. Granted Bennett is doing good on cost controls....but if the drill bit isn't finding honey consistently then it doesn't matter. If they come out with more definition than what's been provided and I hope they do...then maybe I'll lower my guard. I think for now I'm at neutral pending 4th qtr results. Curious if anyone has been tracking the IP averages of late versus the norm ? JMHO GLTA
For this company to ever see serious appreciation we need NG prices north of $5. When might that happen? I dont' know but it will take longer than any of us want to believe.
What makes you think they are shifting focus to Kansas? It's my understanding that they will drill 100 new wells there in 2014. I believe they will drill around 400 wells in oklahoma in 2014.
If that's true then cap-x spend is going up....like I said...I want more definition as to just what the full year strategy is.

Audie Award Finalist, History, 2014
On November 5, 1942, a U.S. cargo plane slammed into the Greenland ice cap. Four days later, a B-17 on the search-and-rescue mission also crashed. Miraculously, all nine men on the B-17 survived. The U.S. military launched a second daring rescue operation, but the Grumman Duck amphibious plane sent to find the men vanished.
In this thrilling adventure, Mitchell Zuckoff offers a spellbinding account of these harrowing crashes and the fate of the survivors and their would-be saviors. Frozen in Time places us at the center of a group of valiant airmen fighting to stay alive through 148 days of a brutal Arctic winter until an expedition attempts to bring them to safety. But that is only part of the story. In present-day Greenland, Zuckoff joins the Coast Guard and North South Polar Inc. on a dangerous expedition to recover the remains of the lost plane's crew.
Frozen in Time is a breathtaking blend of mystery, adventure, heroism, and survival. It is also a poignant reminder of the sacrifices of our military personnel and their families - and a tribute to the important, perilous, and often overlooked work of the U.S. Coast Guard.
©2013 Mitchell Zukoff (P)2013 HarperCollins Publishers
"Best book I've read in a long time!"
This is a must read. Gripping, emotional and true. Makes you appreciate Zuckoff's brilliant writing, research and his dedication to getting the story right complete with helping us to know these heros. Thanks for a super book.
"Interesting Survival Story"
This is an interesting non-fiction account of the loss of several planes carrying American military officers in Greenland during WWII and of the attempts to rescue the survivors. As it's non-fiction, not all the characters survive.
The historical tale from November 1942 to April 1943 is intertwined with the modern tale of the attempt to pull together a team to search for the lost Grummond Duck in 2012.
It is always clear which time frame is being referred to. The stories are different, and the contemporary tale is told from the author's first person perspective and is told in the present tense.
The WWII story is interesting and is brought to life fairly well. This is a good fast listen and will appeal to history buffs. For those itnerested in travel, particularly in the Arctic, it's full of interesting factual tidbits. Zuckoff does a good job of turning the frozen and unforgiving landscape into a central character.
Having said that, I think that Mitchell Zuckoff was not the best choice to narrate the story. He's a good writer but not a good reader. There's a difference between someone who tells a story and someone who reads a story. Zuckoff mispronounces several words -- after about the 30th instance of pronouncing ration as RAY-tion, I wanted to scream. He also has a tendency to slur his words and this affects his reading and the story. There were a couple of times when I wanted to turn the whole thing off and find another book to listen to, but the story kept me going.
I'd say the story is very good, but the narration is only fair. I'd probably give this about a 3.5 stars overall.
Avid listener/reader.
"Great Telling of Little Known Event"
The title and subtitle are actually good descriptions of the contents of this book. The author does some exhaustive research for the noble purpose of "leaving no man behind." He uses the literary device of alternating chapters with one chapter spinning the historical narrative of what occurred on the Greenland Icecap in World War II, and the other chapter describing events that are ongoing throughout the book. The book was published in a timely manner to include the mission to locate a lost aircraft and the remains of the three men aboard it. As a side note, the author has a blog that keeps readers informed of ongoing developments since the publication of the book. The author does a fine job of reporting facts in a narrative format that keeps the readers' attention. The author is also the narrator of the audiobook. I am always skeptical when authors try to perform their own narrations, but I was pleasantly surprised. As much of the book is written in the first person, the author as audio narrator is natural provided that the author is a good reader - and he is. The story is one that is worthy of the telling and I'm so happy that I read the story.
"Another good one from Zuckoff"
While I enjoyed listening to this book very much, I preferred Zuckoff's other plane crash book, "Lost in Shangri-La". But I recommend both of them.
"Great Story, Poor Narration"
I enjoyed the story and hated the narration. I didn't pay attention to who the narrator was when I bought the book; however, an hour into it I realized it had to be the author. There was no other explanation for the poor narration.
The narrator was almost whispering at times and there was no inflection in his voice. It was basically monotone for over 8 hours. Also, the narration was not succinct. Another reviewer called it a slurring of the words and I completely agree.
I greatly regret purchasing the audiobook strictly because of the poor narration. I highly recommend those interested in this book to purchase the e-book or hardcopy/paperback instead of the audiobook.
I would highly recommend this book for the story, but only as an e-book or hardcopy/paperback purchase.
"Movie time"
Book was amazing. It should be a movie. There's so much adversity it might not be believable. Another book about American hero's. Thanks Mitch!
"great listen and story,"
only thing I had hoped for was the recovery of the missing. What a remarkable,forgotten story.
great listen. the narrator did a wonderful job with the telling of his remarkable story.
"Good book. Heart breaking story. "
Actually first book read to me so hard to compare narrative. Found that the heroes in this story brought me to tears at times.
A school administrator and avid reader and listener of books. At least an hour of every day is spent in the car, and that's where the bulk of my listening is done. I tend to listen to books on "faster" mode so I can get through more books!
"Great book"
A stunning and fascinating exploration of military plane crashes in Greenland during WWII and the men who lived, died, and survived. I had a hard time putting the book down and did a little additional research to answer some questions I had. I recommend this book.
"Make sure you read this."
In 1942 a Grumman Duck aeroplane crashed on the Greenland ice cap, shortly afterwards a B17 was sent out on a search and rescue mission to look for the Duck but this too crashed into the ice cap. The planes and the bodies were never recovered. This book tells the modern day story of how Lou Sapienza organised a modern day mission to recover the planes and the bodies but the book cleverly switches between the story of the crashed airmen in 1942 and modern day events. This book is an incredible mix of history and adventure and I just loved it. One of the best books I've read in 2015.
"Fantastic book, gripping story well read."
Fantastic story of human survival and spirit
I like how it combines a WW2 story with a modern day quest to find the crash site of one of the rescue planes.
Very well read with a real passion for the subject
This is a very engaging story more about the people involved than their flying machines. It's a very personal story too about the struggles to launch an expedition to Greenland to find the heroes frozen in ice.

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. -- Buffalo Bills wide receiver Steve Johnson reacted Monday to a key pass he dropped in the fourth quarter of Sunday's 23-21 loss to the New England Patriots, saying the play was more difficult than it appeared.
"It looked like the play should have been made, but with my extending how I did, it was like my length just got my hands on the ball. I felt like it was harder than it was, what really happened," Johnson said. "Looking at the film, yeah, I was wide open. I beat the guy ... It was tougher than what it looked."
Johnson was open in the left flat after beating his defender on third-and-1. With 8:50 remaining in the game, the Bills punted to the Patriots, although they were unable to turn Johnson's drop into any points.
"At the end of the day, it's a drop," Johnson admitted.
Rookie quarterback EJ Manuel targeted Johnson six times, with the team's most veteran receiver making three catches, including an 18-yard touchdown grab early in the second half.
But coming into the game, Johnson said that the Patriots did not have "anybody that can stop me."
"The reaction is as expected. Everybody placing blame on me. It's OK. I felt like I put myself in that position," Johnson said Monday. "But that's not me putting on a front for anybody. Pretty much being who they've grown to love. I feel like there's no one who can guard me. Obviously it showed, but when you don't win a game, that's when you get that negative attention, and I deserve it."
Head coach Doug Marrone said Monday that he did not have a problem with Johnson's comments.
"People have to be who they are. You guys are going to ask tough questions, and you want them to answer it. You want people to be who they are and what they do," Marrone said. "As long as it's not a standpoint of giving away any strategic information... I think that's where I would have a problem with it."
Johnson did not speak to reporters after Sunday's loss, departing the locker room shortly after the game's end.
"Me being here for the amount of time that I've been here, it was just something personal against that team, I guess," he said. "It ended in the same way. That was my frustration. Nothing with anybody, nothing with any play. We know that you can't have a great game every week. Every play isn't going to be perfect. The game, it can go either way, and I felt like we've been to this point too many times. It is what it is and they came in and took one from us. We'll be ready for them next time."
Added Johnson: "I take every [loss] personally. I hate to lose. We deal with losing in different ways. I have to be better about it. I don't think I'll ever grow accustomed to losing games."
Marrone said it will be important for Johnson to not dwell on Sunday's performance.
"I know how much that weighs on him. My philosophy has always been, when you have a player that every single day comes out here and works and the player likes Stevie, and all the things that he's done, you have to come back to that player," Marrone said. "We have a lot of faith in him. There is not a player in this league that hasn't dropped a football. If you haven't, that means you haven't gotten a lot of balls thrown to you.
"I have the utmost confidence in Stevie. He takes those things hard. What he has to do is, and he knows this, is you have to shake it off and come back and make a play. And he will."

|48th, Wide Star (地闊星) of the 72 Earthly Fiends
|Tiger Cub Scouting General of Liangshan
|Bandit leader from Mount Yellow Gate

|First appearance

|Simplified Chinese

|Ou P'eng
Ou Peng is a fictional character in Water Margin, one of the Four Great Classical Novels of Chinese literature. He ranks 48th of the 108 Liangshan heroes and 12th of the 72 Earthly Fiends. He is nicknamed "Golden Wings Brushing Against the Clouds".
The novel describes Ou Peng as a tall and muscular man who walks at a fast pace. He is highly skilled in martial arts and renowned for his ability to catch projectiles, such as arrows, in mid-flight. He earns himself the nickname "Golden Wings Brushing Against the Clouds".
Ou Peng is from Huangzhou (黃州; in present-day Huanggang, Hubei) and used to be a soldier until he is forced to abandon his career and become an outlaw due to political corruption. He leads a bandit gang based on Mount Yellow Gate (黃門山) together with Jiang Jing, Ma Lin and Tao Zongwang.
Joining Liangshan[edit]
After saving Song Jiang and Dai Zong in Jiangzhou (江州; east of present-day Chongzuo, Guangxi), the outlaws from Liangshan Marsh are making their way back to base when they passed by Mount Yellow Gate along the way. The four bandit chiefs stop the Liangshan outlaws and request to join them. Song Jiang agrees and they return to Liangshan together.
After Huyan Zhuo surrenders and joins the Liangshan band, Ou Peng and nine others follow Huyan Zhuo to Qingzhou (青州; in present-day Shandong) to trick Murong Yanda, Qingzhou's governor, into opening the city gates. Murong Yanda falls for the trick and opens the gates, after which the outlaws swarm in, occupy the city and kill the corrupt governor.
Campaigns and death[edit]
Ou Peng becomes one of the leaders of the Liangshan cavalry after the Grand Assembly of the 108 Stars of Destiny. He follows the heroes on their campaigns against the Liao invaders and rebel forces after they have been granted amnesty by Emperor Huizong.
During the campaign against the rebel leader Fang La, Ou Peng is assigned to attack Shezhou (歙州; present-day She County, Huangshan City, Anhui), where he encounters the enemy general Pang Wanchun and fights with him. Pang feigns defeat and retreats to lure Ou to follow him. Ou pursues Pang because he is desperate to gain the top credit for victory. While retreating, Pang suddenly turns around and fires an arrow at Ou, who manages to catch it in mid-flight. Pang then fires several arrows in succession at Ou, who is unable to catch all the arrows in time and ends up being shot down and killed.

This hotel was good enough for the not picky traveler on a budget. The rooms are pretty large with a lot of storage space. There was a closet, dresser, and another large chest for storage. There was a mini-fridge, microwave, and phone in the room. The cleanliness of the room was okay, except the bathroom window could have been cleaned a bit more- probably just old. The service was very friendly. The hotel was quiet and we slept very well. It is a one story motel, and the layout is pretty neat.

Yum Brands Declines After Manufacturing Slowdown in China
Yum! Brands Inc., which got about 44 percent of revenue last year from stores in China, dropped the most in more than three years after manufacturing in the Asian nation declined for the first time in six months, signaling an economic slowdown.
Yum, owner of KFC and Taco Bell, fell 8 percent to $64.70 at the close in New York, the biggest decline since Nov. 20, 2008. The shares have gained 9.6 percent this year.
China's Purchasing Managers' Index expanded at the weakest pace since December, falling to 50.4 from 53.3 in April, the statistics bureau and logistics federation said in Beijing. That compared with a median estimate of 52 in a Bloomberg survey of 27 economists. A reading above 50 indicates expansion.
A slowing Chinese economy "raises real concerns about Yum given 50 percent of its profit comes from company-owned stores in China," said Bryan Elliott, an analyst at Raymond James Financial Inc. in St. Petersburg, Florida. "Manufacturing is an important part of income for consumers and an increasing amount of that income has been going to purchase meals at KFC in China."
Yum plans to open 600 new restaurants in China this year. The Louisville, Kentucky-based company's KFC and Pizza Hut chains have boosted sales in the Asian nation with delivery service and expansion into smaller cities.
The company has about 37,300 stores worldwide.

Floor Care Tip
No matter where you are in Johnson County, Overland Park, Lenexa, Shawnee, Olathe anywhere in the K.C. Metro area the furnaces are running hard and drying the moisture out of the air.
Wood loses moisture, it shrinks creating unsightly cracks. Check your humidifiers and their diffusers to make sure they are in proper working order to help keep shrinking to a minimum.
We recommend 40-45% moisture levels in your home. If you are getting any condensation on your windows you may have to much moisture in those areas. Adjust your vents a little to balance air flow to eliminate this problem.

Read an Excerpt
This is a book about bargains. We look for bargains in clothing, electronics, food, and travel -- to name just a few. We go to discount price clubs, cut coupons, and wait until things go on sale so that we can get more for less. We want to spend wisely and know that we're getting the most for our money.
What if we were as cost conscious about our calorie consumption as we are about our spending?
Unfortunately, we have a finite number of calories in our bodys' budget, just as we have limited funds in our pocketbooks. So how can we be sure that we're making good use of the foods we consume? The answer: Look for Calorie Bargains. These are foods that are relatively low in calories and high in nutrients, but still taste great and satisfy your strongest temptations. You use these "cheaper" foods to replace others you eat regularly that are more calorically "expensive." But remember, if it doesn't satiate you, a Calorie Bargain can easily turn into a Calorie Rip-off, because you'll end up eating more of it, consuming more calories, and gaining more weight.
You can find your own Calorie Bargains using these three easy steps:
STEP 1: Think of a food that you typically eat each day. It might be a guilty pleasure or simply a high-calorie food you think might be worth replacing -- if you had a good substitute.
Example: The food I eat now that I'm willing to change: Lay's regular potato chips, 150 calories per serving.
The serving size I would eat in a typical sitting (be honest!): three servings, about four handfuls.
Total calories: 150 X 3 = 450 calories.
STEP 2: Now try to think of a substitute for that food. It'sgot to be something you think you might like, and it's got to have fewer calories.
Example: My potential Calorie Bargain: air-popped popcorn, 25 calories per serving. Serving size I would eat in a typical sitting (be honest!): three servings, about four handfuls.
Total calories: 25 X 3 = 75 calories.
You just saved a whopping 375 calories. So if you normally eat chips three times a week, and you replace them with popcorn, you could lose as much as 15 pounds in a year!
STEP 3: Make sure you can live with the food choice you just made, and that you will not overindulge to make up for the fact that you're eating a food that is lower in calories and higher in nutrient density. If you consume more of the Calorie Bargain than you did of the substituted food, you will defeat the purpose.
Learn to Get Good ValueYou have to learn to know a good thing when you see it. Understanding value in food is important, and it's important to think before you eat. Again, remember, Calorie Bargains are only to be used to replace something that you are already eating on a regular basis. A Calorie Bargain should never be added to your existing diet; it is only a replacement for higher fat and higher calorie foods. And if it doesn't satiate you, you'll end up eating more food, consuming more calories, gaining more weight, and losing that Calorie Bargain. So be careful. Experiment, negotiate, and keep track of your failures and successes.Your initial goal should be to reduce your calorie intake by 100 to 200 calories a day for maintenance, and about 250 to 400 calories per day for weight loss. This means you should substitute at least 20 percent of your current diet with Calorie Bargains for weight loss and 10 percent of your current diet for weight maintenance. As you become a skilled detective, however, you'll be able to find even bigger bargains.
Here's one of mine. I used to eat chips, cookies, and ice cream, averaging about 600 calories in an evening. Now I substitute pan popcorn. I don't love air-popped corn, so I started experimenting and found a way to use regular kernels, a skillet, and cooking spray. Put the kernels in a deep pot lightly coated with vegetable cooking spray, cover, and turn on the heat.Make sure to open the lid slightly from time to time to release the steam. Shake the pot during cooking. After a number of burned batches, I was finally able to get it right: 5 cups (popped) equals 150 calories. Calorie savings: about 450.
Celebrity Calorie BargainsI've spent years finding Calorie Bargains for myself and getting tips on others from readers, so I began to wonder what health "celebrities" do to create the Calorie Bargains that help them stay fit. Here are a few notables:Mike Huckabee, governor of Arkansas, lost more than 100 pounds and made healthy living a priority for his administration. Used to eat premium ice cream: 2 cups, 550 calories.Calorie Bargain: Yarnell's Guilt Free "CarbAware" ice cream made with Splenda. "You can't tell the difference between this and regular premium ice cream, which it has replaced in my diet. Yarnell's is amazingly good, and it's what we serve at the governor's mansion. Guests are shocked to find out it's a sugar-free, low-fat, low-carb product." Breakdown: 2 cups, 250 calories.Calorie savings: 300.Bobby Flay, chef/restaurateur, cookbook author, and television personality. Used to eat: "When I was younger, I loved eating breakfast sandwiches consisting of fried eggs, bacon, and cheese every morning on my way to work." Breakdown: 440 calories.Calorie Bargain: "Now I prepare healthy smoothies for breakfast or yogurt with fresh fruit." Breakdown: 16-ounce low-calorie smoothie (no sugar), about 150 calories; low-fat yogurt with fruit, 220 calories.Calorie savings: about 250.Denise Austin, fitness expert, author, fitness DVD personality (star of more than forty exercise videos and DVDs). Used to eat: baked potato (100 calories) with 2 tablespoons of sour cream (about 120 calories) and 1 tablespoon butter (60 calories) for a total of 280 calories. Frappuccino and whipped cream at Starbucks, 390 calories.Calorie Bargain: "I've replaced the sour cream and butter with two tablespoons of salsa for thirty calories. And you can make your own coffee treat with a lot less calories. Use ice cubes, a half cup of skim milk (about fifty calories), and a half cup of decaf coffee. Froth it up and blend it."Calorie savings: 150 for the potato extras; 340 for the coffee drink.Copyright © 2007 by Charles Stuart Platkin

The Movie Was Terrible, The Nap Was Wonderfully Refreshing
By Mrs. Julien | Comment Diversions | May 18, 2013 | Comments ()
I am both kicking it old school and reaching into the diversion vaults (shoebox) with this one. What is the most boring movie you have ever seen? Not Plan 9 From Outer Space bad, rather, dull, interminable, tis a ponderous film. A movie so tedious that if you had a week to live, you would watch it on a loop to make the time drag on and so you would welcome the sweet release of death. With any luck your answer will come to you as quickly as it did to me: The Hours. Never has a movie been more aptly named.
Do you remember The Hours? If you have succesfully blocked it out, kudos to you! Nicole Kidman and a ludicrous prosthetic nose won the Oscar for it that she should have won for To Die For. From what I can recall, it's about Virginia Wolfe writing Mrs. Dalloway, Meryl Streep's character is living Mrs. Dalloway's day, and Ed Harris is around being surly and dying of AIDS. He kills himself partway through. We were so jealous. I think Julianne Moore was in there somewhere as well. Perhaps in flashbacks as the mother of the the bitter guy? I refuse to give this movie one more second of my life by checking IMDb. If Moore was there, I'm sure she was crying. It's how she do.
We saw The Hours at the local art house theatre and the place was full. Kidman's ludicrous prosthetic nose set a bad tone and it went downhill from there. I hold Meryl Streep personally responsible for keeping me awake. She was the only good part of the movie, but she wasn't always on screen, so just when I thought I was passed out, she pulled me back in. Stupid Streep. I spent the film in bouts of lolling hurrumphantly in my seat and praying for a lightning strike. About halfway through, Mr. Julien offered to sacrifice himself by running at the screen so that everyone could flee the theatre. He refrained, but the sentiment was appreciated.
As we left 4 dog years later, we were complaining (loudly) about the movie and making the obvious joke, "The Hours? It should have been called The Centuries," and some of the other patrons gave us horrified looks as, clearly, we were philistines. It was the most enjoyable part of the movie by far.

Old and New Techniques for Artificial Stereophonic Image Enhancement
Artificial stereophonic image-enhancement techniques for loudspeaker reproduction are well-known in the literature. The general goals of such methods are to simulate the desirable properties of a natural listening environment, to reduce the dependence of the reproduced sound on the peculiarities of the listening room, and to broaden the perceived width and depth of the reproduced sound field-ideally to dimensions beyond the physical locations of the loudspeakers. In this paper a representative group of stereophonic image-enhancement techniques are reviewed, and several new strategies are proposed.
