Trump Schools the Press on Guns & More

RUSH: So the president is going to Kentucky today to speak to a veterans group, and as seems to be common now, on his way to the helicopter out of the White House, he stops and has an impromptu press conference.

Now, these are classic. As I have pointed out, there are no official White House press briefings anymore, which means that there's no face time or camera time for members of the Drive-By Media.

There was some NBC reporter today that asked a question. I wasn't able to hear what it was, but Trump spent a lot of time telling this person how stupid the question was. And they kept shouting things at him about background checks. So he says, (paraphrasing) "Look, I'm not gonna create the slippery slope. I'm not gonna see it so that you get your way and law-abiding citizens don't have guns in this country. I'm just not gonna do it. I'm not gonna make the law-abiding defenseless! We're not gonna get rid of the Second Amendment."

They keep shouting questions. He keeps repeating the answer. So CNN's headline, now that the press conference is over, "Trump all over the place on gun background checks." They're trying to make it look like Trump was the insane lunatic here. And of course if nobody saw the press conference -- CNN's audience is gonna believe what CNN says, but it's the exact opposite.

It's the media that looks like a bunch of Romper Room kids. It's the media that looks like they're just childish and don't have any idea what's going on. Trump looks totally in command and in control, and he's informing these people, he is lecturing these people. He's taking more time to talk to members of the press than any president ever has. He gives them what they claim to want more than anything, is access.

CNN is still repeating the mistakes the media has made the past three years. After a press conference, the general consensus is that we're dealing with an idiot here as a president. When in fact all he did was answer questions factually and honestly in ways their bias and lack of objectivity prevents them from understanding. If you don't say what they think, if you don't reflect their values on life, you're a lunatic. I mean, the arrogance of the left and the conceit of these people is on display.

This press conference went on for over 15 minutes. It might have been 20 or 25. We're working on some audio sound bites of it now just to give you an illustration. But he was riffing on a ton of things. There was more substance and content in this press conference from the president of the United States than these people in the media can keep up with. And I will guarantee you that that's the case. There was more here than they could keep up with. They don't know how to properly characterize this. So they have to fall back into the idea that they're dealing with an idiot, they're dealing with a buffoon.

But the visual here is the key. The camera the whole time is on Trump, and he looks like a maestro. He's not in any way defensive. He is in total command of this. And he's pointing at 'em when it's time to talk, hand up when it's time for them to stop. When they interrupt him, he puts a hand up. He doesn't give them control of this event at one single time. There is not a single moment where they're in control of this. There's not a single moment where one of them, not even one of them gets any face time.

The people watching have no idea. And one of the reasons that he canceled the press briefing was for this very reason. To deny these people the showboat opportunity and the face time. It's got to tick them. It has got to just infuriate them that they're not getting any face time. So the visual is anonymous, faceless, childlike, grade school-like voices shouting questions and a confident, reassuring president answering with certitude, with confidence. It's an amazing thing. And they say that Trump is a buffoon, doesn’t know what he's doing.

Reorienting how the president deals with the press the way Trump has done here is nothing short of brilliant. To slice their face time, to keep them from getting on TV, to keep them from showboating, to keep them from making names for themselves at his expense. This is a brilliant tactical move. It didn't just evolve and didn't just happen. It was strategic.

And it's just another reason why these people continue, it is breathtaking for me to behold, this continued underestimation of Donald Trump. But they can't help it because they think they're smarter than everybody. Talk about people with no humility. The Drive-By Media.

RUSH: Welcome back, my friends. Great to have you with us. Rush Limbaugh, half my brain tied behind my back just to make it fair.

Here are the three sound bites we have from the Trump impromptu presser today. Now, remember, in the White House press briefing the reporter (imitating typical reporter), "Hi, Dan Rather, CBS News, what the hell gives you the right to be president anymore. Why don't you quit?"

Those days are gone. They don't get to stand up. They don't get to say their name. They don't get to identify the news organizations. They're just standing there out of camera range shouting, “Mr. President, Mr. President, Mr. President, Mr. President, what about (unintelligible), what about (unintelligible).”

Calmly Trump says (imitating Trump), "You're an idiot, you don't know what you're talking about, let me explain it to you.” Nobody sees the infobabe or the reporter, nobody sees the organization they're from, nobody sees their face. So Trump's making his way to Marine One. He’s gonna go to Kentucky to speak before veterans. A reporter says, "Uh, Mr. President, taking America into a recession, is it worth it? That's what you're doing, you know that? You're taking America into a recession. Is it worth it? Do Americans, do Americans need to back that up?"

THE PRESIDENT: This isn't my trade war. This is a trade war that should have taken place a long time by a lot of other presidents. Over the last five or six years, China's made $500 billion, 500 billion, ripped it out of the United States. And not only that, if you take a look, intellectual property theft, add that to it, and add a lot of other things to it. So somebody -- excuse me -- somebody had to do it. I am the chosen one. Somebody had to do it. So I'm taking on China. I'm taking on China on trade. And, you know what? We're winning.

RUSH: Talking America into recession, is it worth it? Now, the transcript says "taking America into a recession.” It's the Drive-Bys that are trying to talk everybody into a recession. What Trump does in these sound bites is really take these people to school. And I mean that in the direct sense he's educating these people.

Do you realize the relative level of ignorance that most of these reporters have? They only know what they read in their own publications backed up with their own groupthink collective bias. And their groupthink collective bias right now is the United States is responsible for most of the problems in the world. And the United States is the reason why there's a trade imbalance. The United States is the reason, you add Trump as the president, and the United States is really responsible.

So that forms the foundational basis of their questions. So Trump takes them to school. Trump was then asked by a reporter, “Mr. President, Mr. President, why did you cancel the trip to Denmark? Don't you know Denmark loves us, Denmark loves us, and now Denmark hates us because of you. Why did you cancel the trip?”

THE PRESIDENT: The prime minister used a terrible word when describing something that we've been talking about for years with our country. President Truman said, what about Greenland? And he talked about it very openly and it was a big deal at the time. And I brought it up again, and it was discussed many other times. And I thought it was not a nice statement the way she blew me off because she's blowing off the United States. And we've done a lot for Denmark. We've done a lot. I know Denmark well. I have many friends from Denmark. I have many people from Denmark that live in the United States. And we treat countries with respect. She shouldn't treat the United States that way by saying, “What an absurd –" she said "absurd." That's not the right word to use, "absurd."

RUSH: He goes on to say that people are not gonna talk about the United States that way under me. So he canceled the trip to Denmark. Big whoop! This is the kind of thing that gets cheered. This is why people are showing up in droves at Trump rallies and they're running around, "What's the magic?" It's nothing more than patriotism!

And to these people, folks, patriotism is not fashionable. “No, no, no. We must not wear American flags on our lapels. No, no, no. We can't show that kind of favoritism. No way. We are journalists and we must show objectivity. We cannot show that we favor our own country. In fact, to prove our fairness, we will always criticize our country. That's how we make our bones and so forth.”

So they're forever gonna be asking, "What's the magic?" There really isn't any magic. But to them it is magic because it's so unfathomable that anybody could have deep appreciation for Trump. I mentioned that he really was kind of funny with an NBC reporter about the stupidity of the reporter's question. Here is that sound bite. It's NBC White House correspondent Peter Alexander.

THE PRESIDENT: This guy is the most biased reporter, NBC. You know, I made a lot of money for NBC with The Apprentice, and I used to like 'em, but they are the most biased. Peter is such a bi-- you should be able to -- you should be able to ask a question, same question, in a better way. You are so obviously biased. And that's why the public has no confidence in the media. NBC News has less credibility, in my opinion, with guys like you than CNN. I think CNN has more credibility than NBC News. Did you hear what I said? I said you have more credibility than this guy. Go ahead. And that's not saying much.

RUSH: (laughing) He's having fun with these people. And they're taking every syllable like it's death-knell serious. And that's another thing. They simply cannot laugh. They have no sense of humor. If it were Obama saying the exact same things, they would be slavishly licking the ground Obama walked on. If Obama was saying the same stuff -- Obama was really cruel to the media.

Obama was spying on the media. Obama detested them. He made it clear that they were not his buddies, but they so desperately wanted to be thought of as Obama's friends and supporters. So whatever Obama did to spy on 'em, to humiliate 'em, they licked the ground he walked on after he walked by. Trump says similar things, and they just have a cow.

Let me get started on the phones. We'll squeeze one in here in our remaining busy broadcast moments. Michael in Boca Raton, Florida. Welcome, sir. Great to have you here.

CALLER: Oh, thank you. Thank you. Let me offer you a point, Rush. I think the left is offering these unelectable policies -- for instance, the New Green Deal -- so that when they present their candidate, a Mark Cuban, slash, Oprah type person, they appear far more electable. Nobody wants what they're offering. That's why Biden is leading. He appears less crazy. What are your thought on that?

RUSH: Let me ask you, why go through all the trouble? Why have a field of 20 lunatics if what your real objective is to have somebody that makes sense later on? Why go through the motions? Why not just put somebody up that you think makes sense to start out with? Why do you have to define the party as this lunatic leftist bunch in order to show contrast with your so-called centrists?

CALLER: I think they may have read his book. And, you know, (unintelligible) just go crazy, and then (unintelligible). So they're trying to make someone --

RUSH: Oh, you think they're doing The Art of the Deal retro, that they are asking and positioning, portraying, demanding things that nobody would ever get so that they will be able to convince people to settle for less than what -- I don't think this is the case. I understand and I appreciate the thinking. And what is the root of the thinking? The root of the thinking is, "Rush, don't fall for it. These people can't be this liberal. They can't be this communistic. They cannot be this crazy."

Ladies and gentlemen, they are. And what is driving them to this -- do not doubt me -- hatred. They are being poisoned by it. This is not a scheme. These people think this is the way to win. This radical liberalism to them is the way they think they will win. This is way beyond a show.

RUSH: Right. We have one more Trump sound bite from the impromptu presser with the Romper Room press corps today, and this is the bite where I was describing for you his answer to the question about background checks. Now, this is classic. This is classic Trump. If you remember the last shooting -- well, the El Paso and Dayton shootings -- shortly after that, Trump goes out and says that he's open to maybe additional background checks.

And the media goes nuts, "All right. All right." Not because they're happy Trump's with them but because they think maybe they can move this agenda forward, which -- do not doubt me on this -- they want every gun out of the hand of every law-abiding citizen in this country. And it's not about preventing further shootings 'cause law-abiding people don't do that.

It's not about preventing shooting. This is about a fundamental belief that you don't have the right to have a gun, for whatever reason – they’re too dangerous, you're too irresponsible, it's too big a challenge to the power of the government, whatever. They don't think you should have a gun.

Trump plays them like a fiddle with this stuff. And he makes his own supporters nervous. Still happens. “Yeah, I'll be willing to talk about additional background checks. We gotta do something to stop this.” I even, folks, I even got -- well, he just plays 'em like a fiddle.

And then a week ago will go by or a little more, a little less, and Trump will pull it right back. "Nah. I've looked at it. There's no need. We got plenty of background checks as it is." He does this on purpose. It's how he demonstrates he's open to an idea and has considered it and has decided he doesn't need to change his mind. And in this he prevents them the blanket criticism that Trump is inflexible, that doesn't even consider things that he doesn't already believe.

It's a technique. He did it with Dianne Feinstein on comprehensive immigration reform. One of the first cabinet meetings where Trump did not make the cameras leave. They stayed in there for the whole thing. And you could see the Democrats didn't quite know what was going on because the way these things happen, the media is allowed in for a minute or two while the meeting is getting started, people are being seated, and then the media's told leave, and the meeting begins.

Trump began the meeting with cameras in there. And during this meeting, he looked right at Dianne Feinstein. "Well, I'd be open to comprehensive immigration reform." And eyes lit up. "Oh, you would? Well..." And she started writing down things on a notepad. "Well, let's make a plan to talk about this." She bought it hook, line, and sinker.

And a week later or so Trump totally yanked the rug out from under them on this. And he keeps getting away with it and they keep falling for it, which is what tells me that they simply do not have the ability to learn. They don't have the ability to deal with this guy. They're still trying to get rid of him using the same attitudinal efforts that they have used since he got in the race the first place.

So I don't know who the reporter is here, and that's the point. We don't know who the reporters are unless Trump identifies them in the process of embarrassing them. A reporter says, "What happened, what happened to the strong appetite for background checks? You said you had a strong appetite. You said you were maybe looking at expanding 'em. And now you've said no. What happened? What went wrong?"

THE PRESIDENT: I have an appetite for background checks. We're gonna be doing background checks. We're working with Democrats. We're working with Republicans. We already have very strong background checks. But we're gonna be filling in some of the loopholes, as we call them at the border, and speaking about the border, it would be really nice if the Democrats would indeed fix the loopholes because it would be really nice. We have a lot of background checks right now. Gun owners can tell you that. Others can tell you that. But there are certain weaknesses.

We want to fix the weaknesses. And I think that will happen. Let's see what happens. I'm concerned that no matter what we agreed to, when we get there, I'm concerned the Democrats will say, "Oh, well, we now want this, and we want." And, you know, it's a slippery slope. And that's what actually your gun owners and a lot of other people are concerned with.

RUSH: There he goes. “I'm not gonna start the slippery slope.” He went on with this. “I'm not gonna start the slippery slope.” He must have used the phrase five or six times. “I'm not gonna start the slippery slope where everybody's got no means of protecting themselves. I'm just not gonna do it.” The point of this is he knows from the get-go what their objective is. Don't make the mistake of thinking that Trump assumes their intentions are honorable. He knows what they're doing from the get-go. And that's why he toys with them. We like to tweak the media here. He loves to tweak them, too, as much as he talks about enemy of the people and all this. Believes that. But he loves toying with these people.

7 trade targets for Patriots ahead of NFL's deadline

The New England Patriots are likely to be active in the trade market this month. They always seem to be.

And while a few big names — most notably cornerbacks Marcus Peters and Jalen Ramsey — have already moved, those transactions may be just the beginning of an eventful 2019 trade deadline. There are a handful of players who could get traded, particularly at the Patriots’ perceived positions of need: tight end and wide receiver. Rob Gronkowski doesn’t seem to be walking in that door. (Though, N’Keal Harry might be.)

So the Patriots could look to the trade market to bring in a talented pass-catcher for quarterback Tom Brady. Here are a few options.

1. O.J. Howard, TE, Buccaneers

Douglas DeFelice-USA TODAY Sports

Howard finished 2018 with 34 catches for 565 yards and five touchdowns in 10 games, but the third-year tight end has mostly been a nonfactor in new coach Bruce Arians’ offense. He would appeal to the Patriots because he’s 1) a buy-low candidate, 2) he’s on his rookie contract and 3) he fills a position of need. Howard would immediately become the top pass-catching tight end in the Patriots offense, which is devoid of a clear option.

Patriots 2020 free agency: Danny Shelton poised to capitalize on big season

Danny Shelton has come a long way since this time last year. The New England Patriots had virtually no market in free agency, and found himself returning to the team which benched him during the 2018 season. He signed a one-year, prove-it deal, which landed him back in free agency this offseason. And the gamble paid off.

As Bill Belichick explained this season, Shelton took a major step forward in his on-field contributions in a new scheme in New England. He was well-suited for the Patriots' front, and got more play time, which yielded more production (61 tackles, 3 sacks)....

The case for and against Tom Brady with the Steelers

As we near the 2020 offseason of the NFL, Tom Brady and the New England Patriots are in a situation they have never delved in before. Brady is a free agent come March 18. And although there is a strong chance he returns, other teams will be vying for his services. Here is a look at one of the teams that could be interested in Brady’s services. Should Brady consider signing with the Pittsburgh Steelers?

Case for Brady signing with the Steelers

Pittsburgh is a well-run organization that flexed its muscles in that area this season, when they were treading water at 8-5 under perhaps the worst quarterback room in the league, before missing the postseason thanks to a December swoon.

This is a credit to Mike Tomlin, who’s no-time-for-b*ll sh*t attitude is similar to Bill Belichick’s. Under Tomlin, the Steelers have one of the league’s very best defenses that should only improve with young starts like T.J. Watt, Devin Bush and Minkah Fitzpatrick.

On offense, Pittsburgh sports one of the league’s better offensive lines, but is in need of one or two more playmakers. JuJu Smith-Schuster is an excellent X-type receiver option with slot ability, but has struggled some as the team’s No. 1 receiver, while James Connor’s has cooled down as the team’s starting running back.

Luckily for Pittsburgh, they draft skill-position players well, particularly wide receivers. With James Washington and Dionte Johnson already showing upside, the Steelers can attempt to draft a receiver or two in what looks to be the best wide receiver draft class in recent memory, to help build an offense around Brady that would compliment their top-five defense.

All this would depend on Ben Roethlisberger retiring, of course, which is not out of the question. He’s severely beat up and will need surgery on his right elbow yet again. But this is unlikely.

Then again, Pittsburgh could decide they have a better chance at winning a Super Bowl with a healthy 43-year-old Brady than a beat-up 38-year-old Roerthlisberger, and jettison Big Ben in favor of signing Brady.

Case against Brady signing with the Steelers

The Steelers are in some salary cap trouble.

Pittsburgh enters this offseason with roughly just $1.4 million in cap space, according to Over The Cap.

The Steelers can cut ties with a few veterans to create some space to attempt to lure Brady, but they also have several key free agents, most notably EDGE rusher Bud Dupree, who has helped form a successful tandom with T.J. Watt.

Even if Pittsburgh opts to sign none of their major free agents, and do all they can for cap relief, they still may not have enough to give Brady the deal he wants.

Also, with hopes lying with the draft to build their offense, this means Brady is going to work with more inexperienced pro pass catchers, as opposed to veterans.

Additionally, Brady would be leaving the Patriots for one of their biggest rivals, and would compete in a conference with them and the loaded Kansas City Chiefs, while battling the Baltimore Ravens in the division.

How good is the fit?

Had the Steelers had the cap room to give this a realistic shot, it would be one of the more underrated fits for Brady this offseason. But alas, the Steelers are cap-strapped. And playing with a band of unproven youngsters, even if those players were all drafted by the Steelers — a team that almost always hits on their draft picks on offense  — is not the most ideal fit for Tom.

Fit: 4 out of 10

It's actually a discounted rate, considering Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger signed a deal in 2019 which paid him $34 annually.

Where Do the Marlins Go From Here?

All Star Game, Ballparks, CBA, Cy Young Award, Draft, Fantasy/Roto, Free Agents, Games, Hall Of Fame, History, Hot Stove, Management, Media, MiLB, MLB Trade Deadline, MLB Waiver Trades, MVP, Paul Lebowitz's 2012 Baseball Guide, Players, Playoffs, Politics, Prospects, Spring Training, Stats, Trade Rumors, World Series

This Marlins group is not a “team”. It’s a glued together collection of individuals whose mutual interests—of the front office and players—mixed together to create a toxic mess that’s being dismantled as hastily as it was built. A plan that changes when it doesn’t reap immediate dividends is not a plan at all and with the decision to start clearing the decks and apparently listen to offers for anyone and everyone on the roster, where they go from here is unclear.

It began yesterday with the Marlins trading righty starting pitcher Anibal Sanchez and infielder Omar Infante to the Tigers for three youngsters including top pitching prospect Jacob Turner, catcher Rob Brantly and lefty pitcher Brian Flynn.

Turner, the 9th overall pick in the 2009 draft, appeared to have fallen out of favor with the Tigers and his status moved from untouchable to gone, but he’s only 21, has a great curve and a prototypical pitcher’s body. The Marlins have gotten torched in dealing for Tigers’ prospects before as Andrew Miller and Cameron Maybin didn’t pan out after they were acquired in the Miguel Cabrera trade, but Turner is more polished than Miller was.

Sanchez is a free agent at the end of the season and, when he’s on, is very difficult to hit. He’s had a history of arm problems that he’s overcome in recent years and is going to be more of an immediate help to the Tigers than Turner. Infante is a reliable veteran who plays good defense at second base and has some pop.

Getting Turner is a positive for the Marlins, but does this signal a housecleaning? The construction of the 2012 Marlins wasn’t about putting the best possible pieces in place, but about buying stuff to stick in their gaudy new home. Like the impulse purchases of an instant millionaire, aesthetic and functionality were placed on the backburner in the interest of generating headlines. They needed a manager who was going to spark buzz and had a history of winning? Trade for Ozzie Guillen. They needed a closer? Heath Bell’s out there and he’s a closer. Let’s sign him. They needed a third baseman? Sign Jose Reyes and move Hanley Ramirez to third base. They needed starting pitching? Sign Mark Buehrle and trade for Carlos Zambrano.

It’s simple in the George Steinbrenner sense and actually sometimes works. It did for the 1970s Yankees and the 1997 Marlins, among others. But it’s also failed as it did with the 1980s Yankees and the 1992 Mets.

Who knows what would’ve happened this season had Guillen not caused an immediate uproar by fulfilling his mandate by ranting (mostly incoherently) to draw attention and idiotically said that he admired a loathsome figure in the Miami area, Fidel Castro? If they’d made sure Ramirez was onboard with the move to third base and was committed to being a Marlin, playing hard every day and behaving himself? If Logan Morrison spent as much time concentrating on playing and not expressing his freedom of speech rights on Twitter? If Zambrano was, as Guillen apparently expected, reachable to a countryman and friend who knew him well?

There’s no room for wouldas, shouldas and couldas with the Marlins. Owner Jeffrey Loria and the baseball people act quickly when they’re building and demolishing so this concept of being ready and willing to talk about the entire roster is not foreign to them. The attendance at their new ballpark is 12th in the National League. They’re not cohesive nor do they appear to like each other very much. It’s understandable to give up on the season and try something else, but what is there to try? Who stays and who goes? And what’s going on in the heads of the free agent signees Reyes and Buehrle? They presumably had it in mind that the Marlins couldn’t care less about promises they may or may not have made at contract time and that the organization will dispatch them at a moment’s notice, sending them to live out the remaining time on their deals in a locale that they wouldn’t have chosen on their own. They signed with the Marlins knowing their history and they have to deal with the fallout.

As rapidly as this was tossed together, it’s being taken apart with the only question being where they go from here. Since it changes so rapidly and without remorse or introspection, I don’t think anyone can provide an answer because not even the Marlins know.

Experiencing España

July 28th 2016

Hola! If you follow me on any of my social media profiles, you’ll know that I’ve been on a week trip to Spain. I’m (sadly) back in England now, with an uneven tan and beach blues.

Although my dad is Spanish, I’ve not had many Spanish influences in my culture growing up so it was interesting to be exposed to it over the past week.

In this post, I’ll be outlining my experience in España.

Jump here to watch the round-up video of my trip.

I flew with RyanAir, I had heard they were a quite bad in terms of service and the plane itself. Seeing as I didn’t pay a lot for the flight and having an open mind, I wanted to see it for myself rather than wholly base my opinion on reviews.

… And well, the plane was delayed by an hour. On top of that, they hadn’t even displayed my gate 5 minutes before flying so I was incredibly stressed. After asking a fellow passenger, they said it was typical of the airline to do this.

Once I was finally on, the flight was surprisingly smooth. I’m usually terrified of taking off and landing but not this time – I don’t know if it’s the 30-minute meditation I did before boarding that helped me keep calm or if my excitement washed away fear.

Flying over the UK

We ran into some complications with the transfer to the hotel because of the late flight. And after 3 hours of trying to sort it out, we finally got on a coach to the hotel which took 1 hour and a half.

Initially, I wanted to stay in the city of Barcelona for the whole week but I decided to be closer to the beach and the Mediterranean Sea. Once we were settled into the hotel (MedPlaya Santa Monica), we spent the remainder of the first day by the beach admiring the ocean – a 5-minute walk from the hotel.

It reminded me so much of my short time as a child in the Philippines.

Endless Sea

The holiday was planned to be more of a relaxing holiday so for the first few days, I enjoyed spending time in the sun and water. Every morning I loved meditating by the sea and waking up with this view from the hotel wasn’t bad either

I already miss the salt water, messy sand and scorching sunshine.

Hair all over the place – nothing new here

We spent 2 days out of the 7 exploring tourist areas of Barcelona city and used the metro to get around. It’s similar to the ones in Paris and the underground in London.

Plaça de Catalunya

Sagrada Família – I stole this tourist pose from another tourist who was on an all out photoshoot. It was funny to watch and made me wonder if I look just as funny with my own photos!

Unfortunately, I didn’t get to see all the attractions that I planned out to see because my sister (and the rest of the family) couldn’t take the heatwaves at 12pm-3pm so instead, we spent too long on one attraction in the shade.

Strangely enough, I didn’t feel the heat as much as they did (or they just complain a lot) and preferred to stay out to soak out more of the sun thus explaining my darker tan compared to the rest of the family.

Arco de Triunfo de Barcelona. I much prefer this Arc than the one in Paris.

Despite the constant complaining on the heat and too much walking, I tried not to let it ruin the holiday. Besides, I got to see some great architectural sights even though it wasn’t half of what I had planned; I’m grateful nonetheless!

Cascada Monumental located at the Ciutadella Park. You get a wonderful view from the top!

I was worried about pickpocketing as this is a big thing in Barcelona apparently but I didn’t encounter anything dodgy when I was walking around. Friends had warned me about it and it made me a little too cautious and paranoid – thankfully nothing happened!

L’estàtua eqüestre del general Prim with the Arc and Castell dels Tres Dragons in the background.

Since this was more of a relaxing holiday, I opted in for full board course when choosing the hotel. I actually thought that there were different themes every day for food but it was the Same. Thing. Over. And. Over. Again. I found it is a waste of money to go out and eat elsewhere so I stuck with it, but it definitely was a lesson for next time!

Final 24 hours

The last few days included exploring more of the town I stayed in: Calella, Costa Brava.

The town is quite small in comparison to Barcelona but it’s so beautiful. The locals were so lovely and lively too.

Calella is well known for not only for its wonderful beaches but also an equally beautiful lighthouse. It was quite a hike getting up there, but worth every single effort for the view of Calella. I love the contrast of sea and city – views like that make me feel so alive.

Yesterday (the day I was flying back), I spent the morning jogging beside the beach and captured amazing views of the sunrise.

Trip Video Round-up

Throughout the trip, I took as much footage as I could with the intention of creating a summary video of everything I saw. Some of the footage was taken by my siblings – especially the ones with me in them.

This is one of the first times I put a video together, do have a look below:

The whole trip overwhelmed me.

I hadn’t travelled abroad in over 2 years so forgot the feeling of flying above the clouds.

I hadn’t been to a proper beach for so long that I forgot the feeling of having sand everywhere and the cold ocean touching my feet.

So I’m incredibly grateful for everything I saw. After the week, I learnt more about the Spanish culture and history, more about myself and felt truly relaxed – something I haven’t felt in such a long time.

I’m already looking for next year destinations – I’m making it a goal to make time go abroad at least once a year. Because with the hectic life we all live in, we sometimes really need a holiday.

    Spain is gorgeous! It’s great that you got to take a trip overseas with your family and learn more about Spanish culture. And it’s definitely a great goal to go abroad at least once a year. I would love to make that my goal too but going anywhere outside the US is usually too expensive, haha.

    And LOL “or they just complain a lot”. I feel you.

  2. Suesays

    That aerial shot is beautiful! Glad you got to experience flying above the clouds again after more than 2 years. I also like that feeling. There’s something dreamy about it. Looks like your trip had a good balance of nature, man-made architecture, meeting locals, and of course food. Looks like you covered a lot of good reasons for visiting Spain. Must have been nice to experience a bit of your dad’s heritage; a holiday well spent! 😀

  3. Hebesays

    you definitely should plan at least one trip every year!! Although it is tiring when planing the trip but once you go there and realise every step in your wish list, it is a feeling of accomplishment, satisfaction and a lot of FUN and RELAX:) Wish you can travel to more countries in the future, go explore yourself:)

    1. Thanks Hebe, I hope to go to Greece next year 🙂

  4. It’s a good think you decided to visit Spain.Of all the countries I visited, Spain is on top of my list of favorites. I visited Spain when I was a child, but I remember every single detail from that trip. I loved it, specially Barcelona. That city is pure art. Antonio Gaudi was a genius. I hope I get to go back there soon and visit the city again. I even get butterflies when I am thinking about it.

    I’m glad you had an amazing experience there. The photos look amazing.

  5. I love your pictures! It looks like you had an amazing time! The beach looks amazing and I love the architecture and the landmarks

    I’m hoping to travel to Europe at some point in my 20s and I’ll definitely have to keep Barcelona in mind.

  6. My dad is Salvadoran and thus, I have some Spanish influences in my life, and Hispanic ones too. I guess I just miss that culture and sadly because I do not speak the language, but never mind that, Espana is a beautiful country with a lot of history (which I know) and beauty. They colonized Central America and that’s where my dad came from, El Salvador, and thus, I have Spanish ancestors there. I wanna go back to look at my family tree because it would be so awesome, I already have Italian relatives, what else do I have?

    Still Espana is gorgeous! I love old countries that have history, makes them seem more alive and well taken care of. I’m glad you took this holiday and enjoyed it! We all need it sometimes!

  7. Catsays

    I saw all of your Instagram posts, and it looked like such a great trip! The beach and water look beautiful there, and the town looks lovely too. Love the view you got from the lighthouse!

    I definitely agree that we all need a holiday once in a while. Not only is it good to take time to relax, but I actually feel more productive afterwards since I don’t feel burned out anymore!

  8. And now I want to meditate by the sea! Bet its awesome. All that water looks beautiful, but I always loved water.

    And all those buildings look so beautiful! Sounds like a great trip!

  9. Amysays

    Wow, glad to hear you had a great time in Spain! I love your video and your photos. It all looks so beautiful! I really wish I could take photos like that, but sadly I’m not that skilled. I’d blame my camera, but I’ve seen people take amazing photos with nothing but an iPhone!

    I’d love to go abroad. It’d be so interesting to see another country. Everywhere in the UK is pretty much the same. Even the shops in each city are just copies of one and other, for the most part. And our “beaches” are rubbish, if you can even call them beaches!

    Glad to hear you had a good time!

  10. Nancysays

    Bah, I can’t believe how much trouble you had to go through to get from the airport before flying off until checking into the hotel! But glad to see that things went smoother afterwards :). Looking at the your ocean pictures makes me feel relaxed at home!

    Barcelona looks beautiful! The monumental looks amaaaazzzzinng!!! Love the architecture.

    I love the video compilation! It gives a really neat POV perspective about Espana! I agree with you, we all need a holiday from time to time!

  11. Kyasays

    That is so great that you got to have a trip! The photos look really beautiful. It is a shame that it did get really hot and there were some delays. It would be exciting to think about the next holiday, once a year would be really nice. 😀

  12. Hollysays

    Lovely photos!

    I’ve never flown with Ryanair before but I will be when I go to Norway next month. I hope they don’t delay our flight as I’m only going for two nights!

    I absolutely love Barcelona! It’s such a big place so it really is a challenge to see everything in just a couple of days. I think the tour bus is worth the money as you get to see most of the city and you can hop on and off when ever you like.

    I went to Calella when I was about 4 years old but I don’t really remember it. It looks beautiful though.

  13. Claresays

    Ah! Europe is soo beautiful. It’s one of the countries that’s on my bucket list. A Youtuber I follow on youtube is currently having a vacation I Europe right now and I can’t help but be amazed on all the beautiful buildings, castles and houses. I really hope I can travel abroad one day. You took amazing videos/pictures btw.

  14. Oh wow, Spain is beautiful! I love all of your photos and it looks like you all had a great time! The view from your hotel room is gorgeous too, I want to see it for myself someday 🙂 It just sucks that the heat was intense though, and I can definitely relate to your family’s experiences of spending time in the shade while everyone else is enjoying under the sun. The same thing happened to us in Florida, and the other tourists were all like, “Why is that family staying in the shade?!” HAHAHA.

    Going abroad once a year is doable and if you can afford it, you really should go for it. Spending a holiday abroad is a great way to de-stress and learn about other cultures as well 😀

  15. Ellasays

    This looked like a wonderful and relaxing trip. Your photos and video capture the beauty of Spain and your time there. I’ve never traveled overseas, but if I did, this place would be one of the first I’d visit. Isn’t the ocean amazing? The first time I went was while visiting family in California. Since then, I’ve missed the cold water, sand and seaweeds at my feet. I hope you make it a point to travel out at least once a year, that sounds like a wonderful goal. 🙂

  16. I am so glad you got to have a holiday. Two years without one is quite long, though I remember only ever going to visit my family in Indonesia every four years! It wasn’t until recently that I was travelling every year (on a plane).

    I liked the video, there was so much water and sea and ocean in it. Sorry to hear about the heatwave. I felt that way in Rome, I was just like, gah, can’t take the heat anymore. D: Sometimes it can be hard to predict when it will be really hot, but those would be good days to do attractions that aren’t out in the open.

    I have heard that RyanAir are crap, haha. Sucks that your flight was delayed by an hour – my plane to San Diego last week was too! And on the way back home. Totally atrocious.

    Good thing you didn’t get hassled by pickpockets in Barcelona. I also heard it is the worst city for pickpockets. :p

  17. Livsays

    Ahhh I would love go to Spain and especially Barcelona!! I love the gothic architecture and Calella reminds me of this little town I passed by during my trip to Mexico – well it was built by Spanish settlers, hehe. I love your photos! 🙂

  18. Tarasays

    This sounds and looks like a fabulous trip. All your photos of the beach and ocean . . . they’re so relaxing and beautiful, Pauline. They all make me feel like I’m there with you. It’s good you also went to Spain to get closer to a part of your root. This has been a super rewarding experience for you!

    Reading your post, I find myself super determined now to travel somewhere abroad next year. Whether it’s Japan (it’s a high certainty) or Europe, I’m going to make it happen. I would not be able to afford abroad every year, but every couple of years sounds doable ^^

  19. Tiff Ksays

    That Holiday in Spain sounds wonderful!! I’ve only been to Barcelona and I insanely loved it. Planning to go next year with my dad. I really can’t get enough of Europe.

    I booked with Ryanair before… but never got to go on the flight because of the Spanish airport strikes. Sighs. I go with Easyjet and I think they’re better but my other friend in London prefers Ryanair. Oh well, you get what you pay for!

    Am glad that you didn’t experience anything bad in Barcelona. Also heard about the thefts from friends but nothing happened too when I went there in 2010. Let’s pray for safety! 😀

    I am soo not good with the heat so when I went to London last month feeling like I was back in Manila, I was soo sad! Was expecting clouds and cold in London but in the end I got darker/tanner and I got sunspots on my face. Insane! hahah

  20. Chynnasays

    I am so pumped for Barcelona! 17 days to go~

    RyanAir are pieces of sh*t, but at the end of the day, as long as I eventually get to my destination I’m pretty chill. Can’t really expect much from a cheap airline, to be fair. I usually fall asleep during take off and landing. I can literally sleep anywhere. When I went to Amsterdam, I didn’t even realise we had taken off because as soon as I sat in my seat and buckled my seatbelt, I fell asleep straight away XD

    Love your photos! I didn’t get to visit any of the smaller towns, the last time I went to Spain, but Mutay and I have decided we want to visit some of them since reading your post. Your tan is just 100% the best. I’m the same when it comes to staying in the sun – when we go on holiday, I will literally soak it up, and come back darker than my dad. And he’s BLACK. Kakakakaka~ If you ever go back to Spain, you should definitely try the food outside the hotel. Paella is the best and omg, the tapas. The tapas!!

    I’m glad you had such a fun time – I especially love your video! Such cool shots 🙂

How to Make Money as a Psychic

There are millions of people around the world who decide to seek a psychic’s assistance when things in their life can’t be cleared out by standard reasoning. People typically reach out to psychics if they have any issues in their relationships, work, finances, or family and if they’d like to know what awaits them in the future regarding specific areas of life. The Psychic Business is a very big industry, especially by giving readings to callers by phone!

Some psychic methods can’t be used over the phone, like palm reading which requires a client to be physically present with the psychic. But many psychics can do their readings over the phone, and thanks to setting up a Pay Per Call line, they can run a psychic business from their home.

Psychics who are reading their clients based on thought patterns are telepathic. The gift of telepathy allows a psychic to determine your past, present, and future by reading your mind. Telepathy based on two forms – telepathic perception and telepathic communication.

Clairvoyant Readings

The psychic who can see visions or images related to their client’s life directly do clairvoyant readings. They can tell things based on those visions by tapping into your energy. Then, they can see the future, along with the now and the past.

Spirit animals

It is believed that each one of us has a spirit animal and that that’s where our traits come from. Spirit animals can symbolize your personality, emotions you might be facing at a particular time in your life, skills you might have developed, abilities coming to you in the future, or might be offering you some life guidance. Psychics can help you find your right way in life by tapping into your spirit animal.

Numerologists can see a lot more things in numbers (and their combinations) than a regular person. Typically, numerology readings use numbers that are based on a client’s name and birth date to decode their life and the mysteries that it bears. For example, if there was a birth in your family recently, numerologists can decipher the meaning of the date of birth.

Yes, tarot is one of the most known types of readings. However, tarot readings are not psychic readings because the method uses a 78-card deck that tarot readers can use in various ways to determine the present or future of their callers. Tarot readers use insight when choosing tarot cards, and interpret the meaning of the cards and how it might affect the person.

Astrologists believe that the position of the planets, the Sun, the Moon, and Stars when a person is born affects their personality, shapes how relationships work in their lives and can predict future events. It relies on planetary positions and is based on trends, providing callers’ the insight in the best times to make necessary life changes for a positive outcome.

PayPerCall is there to help you launch your psychic phone line business. We can set up your Pay Per Call line as well as provide billing, line maintenance, customer support, real-time reports, and marketing guidance. The clients are charged before the call, and we pay you out every month. For more information about PayPerCall services, feel free to contact us.

Graphics Settings on PC Games

We usually expect two things while loading a new game on our machine; quality and performance. A well built computer offers wonderful graphics and opportunities, but sometimes even with a powerful GPU, a good processor and a decent amount of RAM we may get a poor result setting everything to Ultra. Why? In this article I’m going to show you how Graphics Settings on PC Games work.

If you’re not sure about your computer’s capacity you can check the requirements for any available game on this site, or read this little guide if you plan to build your own PC.

Let’s take a look on the common settings:

Models/meshes: Overall quality for characters and environments.
Textures: Images ‘painted’ on every single virtual person or object. The maps usually are subdivided in Diffuse (surface color), Normal (blue channel defining details such as skin pores, clothes, etc without adding more polygons), Specular (surface’s shininess and highlight color) and Ambient Occlusion (white images with realistic shadows to fake an ambient lighting).
Effects: Volumetric atmosphere, fog, rain/snow, foliage, etc.
Shadow quality: It defines how detailed the shadows will be.
Ambient Occlusion: Rendering technique used to calculate how exposed each point in a scene is to ambient lighting.
Anti-aliasing (AA): Technique which gets rid of the jagged pixels (or ‘staircase effect’) on the image creating a smoother and more detailed look.
V-Sync (Vertical synchronization): Option available in most systems. The video card is prevented from doing anything visible to the display memory until after the monitor finishes its current refresh cycle (avoiding the so called screen tearing).
Anisotropic Filtering: Method of enhancing the textures’ quality at oblique viewing angles.
Bloom: It basically blurs the image in bright areas for a more cinematic look.

“I have a powerful PC, so if I set everything to Ultra I will get a wonderful detail with a good performance!”

Yes and no.
Just because your rig meets or exceeds the recommended requirements you won’t always be able to run a game smoothly with Ultra graphics. It generally depends on the way an installment is optimized, one game will load perfectly with all the settings on the maximum, another may run like a snail due to the heavy effects applied. My GTX 970 with 4GB is perfect for what I want to achieve right now, but newer games literally absorb all its memory and I have to lower a few settings here and there in order to play without getting wrinkles.

“I have a Nvidia card. I can use GeForce Experience to optimize my games automatically.”

That is true, but in my opinion not always recommended. I never really use the Nvidia optimization because it tends to deactivate the anti-aliasing and this filter is 100% needed if you don’t want your game to have sharp edges. It also lowers some effects that I could keep as they are with no troubles.

Setting the environments to High from Ultra will not change your image quality at all and it will make the whole performance way better. Shadows have a huge impact on the gameplay as well.

“How should I set my anti-aliasing?”

The fastest filter available is the FXAA (from Nvidia). It smoothes all the edges without affecting your performance too much, but it has a downside; once applied some of the textures could appear a bit too ‘soft’ and lose their original quality.
The MSAA is very similar to the FXAA and it uses directly your GPU’s hardware cutting down the required processing power by calculating textures only once per pixel.
The TXAA (also from Nvidia) is a film-style technique (used in CG films) recently introduced in games and it visibly gets rid of our jagged pixels. The power required for this filter is obviously very high, though.
The SSAA (or FSAA) works quite well on photorealistic scenes, but it has a great hardware cost and for this reason you may not find the option in newer games.
If you are using an AMD card and cannot find some of the above filters, you can still see or download additional options and even get a better result. The SMAA for example is really efficient; it basically works just like the MSAA but it reduces the jagged pixels without blurring the objects.

For a more advanced and technical explanation you can check this video.

“I tried all the anti-aliasing options available but nothing seems to work properly. I still get some jagged pixels and flickering edges here and there.”

This is a common issue, actually.
First of all, if you are using a ReShade configuration you can activate the SMAA and/or the FXAA from the Presets if these are not in your settings already. It helps me quite a lot with the outlines shader, for example:

DragonAgeInquisition 2016-05-28 02-01-45

If you can add/alter the AA settings in your Nvidia or ATI Control Panel you should try those options too and see if it looks different. Even so, the flickering issue will probably remain and the jagged pixels will still appear in some games.

Your native resolution could be the main issue if it’s not high enough. Playing in 4k usually helps increasing the quality, but you either need a HD monitor with said resolution or use GeDoSaTo where supported to make everything bigger. The higher our resolution is the more pixels and details will be added to the scene, getting rid of that annoying jaggy effect and smoothing the lines.

“How does AO works?”

Just like the anti-aliasing, Ambient Occlusion could appear with different filters in your settings.
SSAO has been introduced in 2007 by the Crysis® video game, developed by Crytek and published by Electronic Arts. Although it fakes shadows and ambient lighting it’s currently not the best solution due to the lack of accuracy.
SSDO is an upgrade for the SSAO created in 2009 and it renders directional shadows and indirect color bleeding around the objects.
HBAO+ (Nvidia) uses a physically-based algorithm that approximates an integral with depth buffer sampling, the upgrade enables HBAO to generate higher-quality SSAO whilst increasing the definition, quality, and visibility of the AO shadowing.
HDAO is a high definition filter introduced by AMD with DirectX 11 and requires a powerful hardware in order to work without performance costs.

Again it depends on how you like it and how the game runs with these settings applied, it’s still very difficult to re-create a realistic ambient lighting with the current hardware limitation.

Note: Not all the games have the same options in the Video section, thus playing around with the above settings could be impossible if they are not included.

“If I increase the in-game resolution all of a sudden everything becomes terribly slow and unplayable. Is that normal?”

Totally normal, especially if your native resolution is way smaller than the one you set. It also depends on your monitor, GPU and how many resolutions the installed graphics card can handle.

“My game stutters quite a lot even lowering all the settings.”

Chances are the V-Sync option is set to ON. It’s mostly used to improve the video quality and remove that annoying tearing effect you get whenever your camera moves around, but once it’s applied the overall frame rate is equal to your monitor’s refresh rate (e.g 60fps for 60Hz). When the V-Sync is enabled and the frame rate drops below the monitor’s refresh rate, the frame rate fluctuates wildly, causing visible stuttering.
Now the question arises: How can we avoid the stuttering AND screen tearing? If you have a Nvidia card you can set the Vertical sync on Adaptive. To do so simply right-click on your Desktop, open the Nvidia Control Panel and then click on Manage 3D Settings. If you have an ATI AMD Radeon you can do the same thing by downloading Radeon Pro and activate its Dynamic V-Sync.

If you have any question regarding this topic feel free to leave me a comment! 🙂

“Knowing yourself is the beginning of all wisdom.” – Aristotle

I have been in your shoes. I know what it is like to reach out for help. It can be both scary and exciting, and above all it is brave. I want to support you in your journey. I believe we are all constantly learning, moving and growing in our personal and professional lives. Therapy is a journey of self-exploration. It is both what happens in and outside of the therapy room.

I have worked in the mental health field (as a coach, counselor or art therapist) since 2011. My practice is grounded in my values. I value connection. I value compassion. I value creativity. My mission is to serve and give back through my work in the mental health community and to be an advocate for Art Therapy and counseling. Creativity is healing and when we bring our creative ideas to life, we give birth to our own unique stories. Therapy is a human profession. The relationship between a client and therapist provides a unique opportunity for learning, healing, and practicing new healthy behaviors. I believe we are all imperfect and that makes us unique and interesting.

While I believe everyone can benefit from therapy, it is also important to find the right fit in a therapist. I specialize in shame reduction, trauma work, and living a wholehearted life. I incorporate art therapy, positive psychology, expressive arts, the Daring Way™ (based on the research of Brené Brown), and EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing). I work with individuals, families and teens.

The Imperfectionista Manifesto:

  • I believe we are all searching for meaningful connection
    I believe creativity comes in all forms
    I believe imperfection is real, authentic, and shockingly beautiful
    I believe growth is remarkable
    … and not always comfortable.
    I believe in good ‘ol fashion fun
    I believe in discovering your voice AND unlocking your inner child
    I believe we never stop discovering new things about …the world/ourselves/how we relate
    I believe in building an authentic imperfect life

And I know you do too.

Love – kt

Technical explanations for pressure transmitters What is a pressure transmitter? A pressure transmitter (also called pressure transducer or pressure converter) is a component used to convert a pneumatic or hydraulic pressure to an electric (usually analogue and linear) output signal, such as a current or voltage. electrical connection How does a pressure transmitter work? The pressure measuring cell ﬁtted has a membrane (1) that is exposed to the pressure to be measured. Aﬃxed on this membrane is a bridge circuit consisting of four ohmic resistors in the form of a Wheatstone bridge. The...

Voltage output 0 - 10 V Transmitters with an output signal of 0 to 10 V are a commonly used variant due to their simple initial operation and straightforward scaling of the signal (0 V for 0 bar). The output load must be selected as highly resistive (with typical minimum value 4.7 kΩ). SUCO transmitters with voltage output have a 3-wire design. Conversion formula for pressure and voltage: Conversion formula for pressure and voltage: Uout = pressure applied x 10 V pressure range Voltage output 0.5 – 4.5 V ratiometric SUCO transmitters with ratiometric output are operated with a 5 V supply...

Technical explanations for pressure transmitters Accuracy (to DIN EN 61298) The (measuring) accuracy of pressure transmitters is speciﬁed by SUCO as ±0.5% or ±1% of the span (also called full scale). Accuracy includes zero point oﬀset, nonlinearity, hysteresis and non-repeatability, and is deﬁned at room temperature and new state. This method deﬁnes the maximum deviation from the ideal line (in contrast to the BFSL method in which the average deviation is given). Other factors inﬂuencing the total accuracy, such as temperature and ageing, are speciﬁed separately. Hysteresis (to DIN EN...

digital word analogue signal analogue signal Resolution The A/D resolution (analogue - digital) of an pressure transmitter defines the smallest change of the analogue - digital - analogue conversion which takes places by the signal processing of an pressure transmitter. If for example 13-bit resolution is used for an pressure transmitter with a 100 bar setting range, the smallest signal change is 8192 steps (213). As state of the art a resolution of 12 bits and hence 4096 steps (212) is typical. Therefore pressure changes of 100 bar / 4096 = 0.024 bar can be recorded. Response time The...
