Pelosi Statement on Senator McConnell's Plan to Cut Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security Due to GOP Budget Deficits
Contact: Ashley Etienne/Henry Connelly, 202-226-7616
Washington, D.C. – Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi issued this statement after Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell suggested slashing Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security because of the ballooning deficits created by the GOP Tax Scam:
"Like clockwork, Republicans in Congress are setting in motion their plan to destroy the Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security that seniors and families rely on, just months after they exploded the deficit by $2 trillion with their Tax Scam for the rich.
"In budget after budget, Congressional Republicans have exposed their cynical agenda: give massive, unpaid-for handouts to further enrich big corporations shipping jobs overseas and the wealthiest 1 percent, and stick seniors, children and families with the bill. Under the GOP's twisted agenda, we can afford tax cuts for billionaires, but not the benefits our seniors have earned.
"The American people deserve a government that fights for them. Democrats are For The People: lowering health costs and the price of prescription drugs, increasing pay and driving strong growth by rebuilding America, and cleaning up corruption to make Washington work for the people."

About Furry Fish Baits
Back in 1999 I was sitting at my fly tying bench working hard on my trout patterns (Live in Florida) when a thought occurred to me, "I need to design a freshwater fishing lure for Bass and other species out of some type of hair fly tying material". I grew up in Florida where my fishing addiction was developed for largemouth bass, smallmouth bass, northern pike and panfish in Florida and Georgia. As I pondered materials to use, rabbit hair became the obvious choice for several reasons, but primarily because of its unique pulsating and undulating action underwater. I knew there wasn't a fish alive that could resist the life-like action of rabbit hair.
So, I began experimenting with various jig designs. I tied several dozen rabbit hair jigs in both standard (no weeguard) and weedless. I then loaded up the truck (wife, dog, supplies and boat) and headed for Rodman Dam to test my designs on the Smallmouth and Largemouth Bass that prowl this fine fishery. This tying and testing process continued for a couple years with various fishing lure designs including rabbit hair spinnerbaits, rabbit hair buzzbaits and soft plastic creations. After catching thousands of fish with my fishing lure creations I decided in 2001 that it was time to offer them to the public. Hence, Furry Fish Baits was born.
Why should I fish your fishing lures?
I get asked that question quite often on the phone or in person at shows. Well, my answer is this.
- 1. Fish become conditioned to not bite lures they see all the time.
- 2. Fish love the soft natural feel of rabbit hair. Don't believe me, just watch the video of bass inhaling our fishing lures. They do not spit/reject them like they do with silicon or rubber skirted lures.
- 3. Our rabbit hair lures retain scent longer and better than silicon or rubber lures. Apply scent generously to the hide side of the rabbit hair tails and claws. Scent soaks into the hide and lasts for days.
- 4. Rabbit hair breathes, pulsates and undulates underwater unlike any other material and triggers maximum predatory attack reaction in fish.
Instructions for rabbit hair fishing lure use
- 1. Purchase some of our fishing lures. Apply your favorite scent to the hide side of the tails and claws. We like to do this the night before and put the lures in ziplock bags for the next day. Fish can't stand this!
- 2. Drive to lake, river, or pond… Don't forget your lures.
- 3. Tie lure on line. Do not use swivels.
- 4. Soak the rabbit hair lure of your choice in water for 3-5 minutes prior to your first cast. This will insure that the rabbit hair is thoroughly soaked promoting optimum undulating action on the 1st cast which often is the critical cast, especially in tight areas.
- 5. Cast lures, catch fish, have fun!
- 6. Fish your rabbit hair lures until the fish destroy them or you lose them.
- 7. Buy more lures and repeat steps 2-8
p.s. Send us photos of yourself with the fish you catch on our lures. We will send you some more free fishing lures.

I love school books. I love getting them all out before school starts and just holding them and flipping through them. Is that weird? So, I thought I'd share our selections! In the past we've chosen to do all Heart of Dakota selections and while this year we are using some of their book selections, I have ventured out and picked some on my own! I have also chosen not to use the teacher's guide and that may or may not be a good idea! I can always order it later if I decide it was a bad decision to go without it! So, here is a line up of our school year:
I love Heart of Dakota's history selections. LOVE them! I especially love A First Book In American History. It's an old book (written before 1923) that was brought back into print because it was culturally important to history. The copy I have is a scanned copy and is full of imperfections. I just love how old the inside pages look! Remember, I'm weird. We will also be using A Pioneer Sampler as a part of our science curriculum as well as history. I like for our science to flow from what we are studying in history, which is how HOD works.
For LA we are using First Language Lessons for the Well-Trained Mind, Level 1. This is our first year doing language arts!
We have really loved Singapore Math so we're continuing with books 2A and 2B! Luke loves math! He's already begging me to get started on this!
For Bible we will be using this for part of the year. We loved Studying God's Word B last year so much that I decided to order book C. Book B was a study on doctrine (going over the catechism) and Book C is on the Old Testament. For the first 8 weeks of school though, we will be studying the names of God. I am pulling different things from various books, as well as the Bible. We will start with Elohim, Creator God. My blogging friend, Arabah Joy gave me the idea to do this with the boys. She has some lessons that we are using and I plan on making my own to cover more of the names of God. She has given me a great starting point. FYI, she's fantastic! You should be reading her stuff. 🙂
We're using Handwriting Without Tears again this year. We will do Printing Power the first semester and then transition to their intro to cursive for the second half.
Above is our read-a-louds. These really are my favorites of all of our books! I will be adding more but these are what we have now! We will be reading fiction and non-fiction. Some will go along with out history lessons and some just for fun! Pilgrim's Progress is thick so this one will be on going as we read others. I'm hoping it will be a family read a loud.
I am really excited about using World's Greatest Artists from Confessions of a Homeschooler. I think the boys will both really enjoy this! She has a fantastic website and I plan on using her site for Eli as well!
And last is Eli's first school book! This year we will be learning number/letter recognition, letter sounds and working on fine motor skills. This will be a no pressure approach, just fun! If he's not into it, no big deal! Although last year he was excited to get any worksheets to work on while Luke did his work!
We will be using Spelling Workout this year but I haven't purchased it yet (waiting for the Hubs to get paid). This will complete our 2nd Grade curriculum. It looks like a lot to me but we only do math, read a louds and Bible every day. The others are 2, 3 and 4 days a week. School for Luke's age should take no more than 2 hours. We usually do school in 30-45 min chunks and then take a break, so it's spread out over about 3-4 hours.
I'm hoping to blog more about our school year than I have done in the past. I want to especially encourage moms who are thinking about homeschooling! It can seem like a daunting task but it's so doable and worth it. I can't tell you the joy that it's brought me watching Luke learn to read and knowing I taught him! Someone asked me once if I had a degree in teaching. I said, "Nope, but I am their mommy!" God has well equipped me to teach my children! And if He's calling you to homeschool, He's fully equipped you as well!
I'll let you in on a little secret… we actually started our school year this week! We did two days and next week we will do three. I got this idea from a friend and I think it's going to help us see how school is going to go this year. I won't pretend that I'm a little anxious about having a little one in the house but I am trusting the Holy Spirit to give me wisdom! He has called me to this task, so obviously He will provide a way! We will officially start our full weeks on August 5th and while this is earlier than public school, I like it this way because it gives us flexibility! And flexibility is one of my favorite things about homeschooling! When do you plan to start school?

You do not have to notify anyone on what you will be doing with the returns from the investments. Cruise vacations make it possible to pay one price and spend days to a week relaxing by the poolside. Investing in your company's retirement plan is one option but there are other options.

Henry James' classic ghostly novella The Turn Of The Screw is staged at Regent's Park Open Air Theatre in a uniquely atmospheric outdoor adaptation, penned by Benjamin Britten and co-produced with the English National Opera.
This story of unearthly encounters at a remote country house, and of a young governess desperate to protect her children, finds chilling new levels of suspense. Artistic Director of Regent's Park Open Air Theatre, Timothy Sheader, directs.
Part gothic and part ghost story, The Turn Of The Screw first transpired as a novella published in 1898 by American author James. The plot centres on a governess who begins to experience supernatural sightings of former employees of the estate.
The Turn Of The Screw will be performed by two casts, who will play on alternate performances; the starring role of Prologue and role of Peter Quint will be shared by ENO debutant Elgan Llŷr Thomas and William Morgan (The Day After, ENO). Members of the ENO orchestra will also be conducted by ENO Mackerras Fellow Toby Purser.
The casts also include renowned ENO artists Nadine Livingston (Scottish Opera Emerging Artist 2009-2011), Janis Kelly (Prima Donna, international tour), and Anita Watson (who previously appeared as The Governess in The Turn Of The Screw in Venice).
The production is designed by Soutra Gilmour, who was behind the Olivier Award-winning revival of Into The Woods at the Open Air Theatre, while lighting design is by Jon Clark, sound design by Nick Lidster for Autograph, and casting by ENO Head of Casting, Michelle Williams.
As Artistic Director of the Open Air Theatre, Sheader has introduced the works of Chekhov, Miller, Wilde and Dickens, and his productions of To Kill A Mockingbird and Lord Of The Flies have also enjoyed successful UK tours.
With a multi-award-winning creative team, a scintillating premise and a revered story, The Turn Of The Screw promises to be an operatic experience like no other.

Film audiences are currently being inundated with a glut of dazzling special-effects movies crammed with expensively wondrous visual invention and glossily framed shots. Watching them can approximate the feeling of running head-on into the deep space of an Atari video game. When viewed strictly as catalogues of techno-esthetic prowess they may reward us with a kind of narrow utopia of visual pleasure; unfortunately directors find it necessary to get literary—hence the usual establishment of a leaden, stereotypical narrative premise. These movies sport blazing beginnings which soon crumble into

Used my set of Fit-4-All Music at garage day today... And I have to say I'm impressed. I had no ringing or discomfort during or after the jam. They were as comfortable as can be expected and did an amazing job of preserving guitar frequencies so I could still hear myself. It's also perfectly possible to hold a conversation with them in so I didn't even take them out between songs.
My only complaint is that they made singing significantly harder. I really battled to pick my voice out of the mix, even with the vocals turned right up, so I pushed a lot harder than I needed to and my pitching was probably a bit wonky. Don't know if there is any way around this short of in ear monitors.
Still, great product, I would definitely recommend.
I picked up a pair of these:
from Mars Music Cresta on friday before garage days. They were a bit more expensive than the NoiseClippers (R475 vs R260), but I grabbed them because there was no chance of me getting a pair of the NoiseClippers in time. I was fairly happy with the sound, but then again, I don't really have much to compare them too. They come with a ~ 20dB and a ~30dB filter, and I had the 20's in. No ringing in my ears afterwards so I'm happy
This is what I have been using. You put them in the microwave and when they are warm you press into your ear and they mold to your ear shape. Works pretty well.
No brainer. Use em. An use em on my motorcycles too

Big banks prove they need regulating
If big banks want to stay big, they need to prove they are not too big to fail.
That's not too much for taxpayers to ask. None of us want to face another financial crisis where our money is spent bailing out financial institutions that paid executives millions of dollars to take reckless risks.
And yet, the big banks still don't get it. Bank of America, Bank of New York Mellon, JP Morgan Chase, State Street, and Wells Fargo failed to produce a plan that would allow for their orderly liquidation in the event of a crisis without requiring taxpayer financing.
"The 2015 resolution plans of Bank of America, Bank of New York Mellon, JP Morgan Chase, State Street, and Wells Fargo was not credible," according to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp.
Those banks have until Oct. 1 to produce a better plan.
There are some lawmakers, though, who have spent the past six years railing against the Dodd-Frank financial regulations passed in 2010 to prevent another financial crisis. They say the regulations hurt profitability and complicate the banking business. Bank executives also hate Dodd-Frank, for obvious reasons.
The president of the Minneapolis Federal Reserve, meanwhile, argues that Dodd-Frank doesn't go far enough and that another financial crisis requiring taxpayer dollars is likely. "I believe the biggest banks are still too big to fail and continue to pose a significant, ongoing risk to our economy," said Neel Kashkari.
Democratic candidate Bernie Sanders has called for breaking up the big banks to make them less vital to the U.S. financial system.
That's a deeply impractical idea, but one that has the support of many Americans of all political stripes still angry over the fact that no one has gone to jail for the fraud perpetrated on investors in the early 2000s. What we need is for the regulations to work.
The banks called out by the FDIC on Wednesday described their failures as technical shortcomings that they can overcome. Let's hope that't true, and that they conform with the regulations.
Otherwise, they have another option. They can break themselves up so they are no longer systemically important to the U.S. economy. That wouldn't be bad outcome either.

IT'S known for its wondrous, lush landscape, crisscrossed with thousands of rivers and inked with remnants of communities and species that have stretched through time.
The importance of the Amazon rainforest to our planet is no joke — it is the only rainforest left in terms of size, which is critical to filter and reprocess the world's carbon dioxide output.
And while the Amazon rainforest is no stranger to the threat of mankind, an undercover investigation has revealed some of the foulest abuses seen yet — and Australians are at the top of the hit list.
Two of the Amazon rainforest's main gateway cities have come under fire for allowing tourists and local Latin American tour operators to abuse the area's wildlife population: Manaus, Brazil and Puerto Alegria, Peru.
Manaus, the capital of the Amazonas, the largest state in Brazil, with a land mass of 1.6 kilometres. An incredible 77 per cent of the rainforest still remains intact today.
Some of the Amazon's animals have been recorded tied to trees, others suffer severe abscesses on their feet while one is manhandled and beaten by its owner.
And Australians are reportedly the worst at abusing animals for our Instagram feed — Australia has the highest concentration (35 per cent) of wildlife selfies according to social listening research commissioned by World Animal Protection (WAP).
We even beat the Americans, at 27 per cent, followed by the British at 10 per cent.
In footage released to news.com.au, the WAP captured a tour guide spotting a sloth in a tree, climbing the tree, yanking the animal from a branch and bringing it down for tourists to photograph. It is said to be a common practice in the region.
For sloths, their slow movement, which is used by the animal to conserve energy, means escape is futile.
"Several aspects of their biology and behaviour make sloths particularly vulnerable to these types of human interactions," the WAP's report, A close-up on cruelty, said.
"There is good reason to believe that most sloths being used for tourist selfies don't survive even six months of this treatment."
According to the WAP, contact with the three-toed sloth was only surpassed by the pink river dolphin for physical human contact, followed by spectacled caimans, green anacondas and squirrel monkeys.
"We chose 18 different wildlife boat excursions each lasting between one to three days, which ranged in price from about US$48 (A$61) to US$112 (A$142) per day. The numbers of tourists participating in each tour varied from six to 61," the WAP recorded.
"Direct contact with wild animals for photo opportunities were offered on 94 per cent of excursions, at six different locations. Official tour guides actively encouraged this type of activity during 77 per cent of excursions."
According to the report, in public view and behind the scenes, investigators uncovered evidence of cruelty being inflicted on wild animals, including:
— Sloths captured from the wild, tied to trees with rope, not surviving longer than six months
— Birds such as toucans with severe abscesses on their feet
— Green anacondas wounded and dehydrated
— Caiman crocodiles restrained with rubber bands around their jaws
— An ocelot (a type of wild cat) kept in a small barren cage
— A manatee held in a tiny tank in the forecourt of a local hotel
— A giant anteater, manhandled and beaten by its owner.
"It's extremely distressing to see animals being stolen from the wild and used as photo props," Global Wildlife Advisor, Dr Neil D'Cruze from World Animal Protection said.
"The reality is these unfortunate animals are suffering terribly, both in front of and behind the camera.
"The growing demand for harmful wildlife selfies is not only a serious animal welfare concern but also a conservation concern — our online review of this kind of practice in Latin America found that more than 20 per cent of the species involved are threatened by extinction and more than 60 per cent are protected by international law."
WAP is calling on the relevant governments, along with Instagram and travel companies, to band together, enforce the law and help to stop the exploitation of these animals.

DRYDEN, Ont. – The Dryden GM Ice Dogs picked up a goal and an assist from Trey Palermo to help lift them to a 5-2 triumph over the Fort Frances Lakers Saturday in Game 2 of their Superior International Junior Hockey League semifinal series at Memorial Arena.
With the result, Dryden now leads the best-of-seven affair 2-0 heading into Game Tuesday at 7:30 p.m. CT at Ice for Kids Arena in Fort Frances.
SIJHL Top Defenceman award recipient Cory Dennis staked the home side to the lead as he notched the lone marker of the opening frame at 13:36.
Palermo added to the Dryden cushion in the middle session before Graham Oliphant made it 3-0 with 43 seconds left in the stanza.
Fort Frances got back into it on the first shift of the third period thanks to Noah Loveday, but the GM Ice Dogs countered a couple shifts later after corralling a loose puck in the slot and getting it over to an open Tristan Simm, who chipped his first league playoff goal over a sprawled Ismael Ralsten in the Lakers' net.
After Dustin Roitelman brought the visitors back to within two at the tail-end of a five-minute man advantage, Dryden's Trevor Kavanaugh wrapped up the night's scoring with a power play effort of his own at 16:34.
The GM Ice Dogs also held the edge in shots by a 30-25 count with Jacob Gnidziejko picking up the win while Ralsten suffered the loss.

Title: Models for Fast Radio Bursts and Future Astrophysical Tests
Speaker: Zigao Dai (Nanjing University)
Time: 3 PM, May 18th (Thursday)
Fast radio bursts (FRBs) are millisecond-duration flashes of coherent GHz radio emission of unknown physical origin. Most of them arise from high Galactic latitudes, but their inferred dispersion measures are much larger than expected for propagation through the cold plasma of our Galaxy and its halo, strongly suggesting that they are at cosmological distances. FRBs seem to fall into two classes: non-repeating and repeating. Only one repeating case discovered so far is FRB 121102. In my talk, I will review the recent progress of FRB studies and discuss some models for FRB's physical origin and future astrophysical tests in detail

A Story of Moral Courage
During a time when the Jewish population of Germany was being stripped of their rights, dignity, and humanity, Nazi policies created the need for emigration among Jews. Those who were able sought safety elsewhere but were met with bureaucratic hurdles and indifference, blocking their efforts toward immigration to the United States, Britain, and Palestine. Desperate, many turned to places like China, Africa, Latin America, or anywhere they would be welcome.
In the Pacific, a group of individuals empathetic to the plight of Jewish refugees banded together and drafted a plan to bring German Jews to the Philippines. The group included the Frieder brothers, cigar makers from Cincinnati; Paul McNutt, former Governor of Indiana and acting High Commissioner of the Philippines; and Manuel Quezon, President of the Philippines. Using their social, political, and economic influence, they rescued approximately 1,300 Jewish refugees.
Rescue in the Philippines DVD and Study Guide
The educational version of the film is divided into chapters, enabling educators to adopt the story into their existing units and class schedules. The study guide's lessons and activities focus on primary source documents, encouraging critical thinking while enhancing reading and writing skills using testimony from survivors, descendants, and historians.

If you only have a few weeks to travel to South America, the grand scale of the continent often leaves you with the choice of flying from destination to destination. The unfortunate reality of plane travel is that you get to know the inside of the airport rather than the beautiful countryside and less traveled places. Therefore, we invite you to slow the pace of your trip. Discover the 5 best tours for locomotive enthusiasts in South America.
#1. Tren Crucero – From Quito to Guayaquil
First on our list is Ecuador with a restored antique steam train that combines luxury and unique experiences. This train, The Tren Crucero, runs along the gorgeous landscapes between Quito (the Andean highlands) and Guayaquil (the Atlantic coast). You'll see looming volcanos, small traditional villages, colorful markets, and spectacular rolling hills.
The train holds 50 passengers so you'll enjoy world-class service on South America's leading luxury train. Don't expect to just sit around. Instead, you'll get off the train several times a day for an excursion or to take photographs. You'll immerse yourself in the history, cuisine, culture, and communities of Ecuador. All activities are with local guides who are passionate about their country. And don't fret about small sleeping cabins. You'll stay at boutique accommodations that offer the same level of customer service as the Tren Crucero. While many will claim that the Galapagos Islands are the gem of Ecuador, any train enthusiast is sure to find that this experience gives the islands a run for their money!
#2. Hiram Bingham – From Cuzco to Aguas Calientes
The Hiram Bingham is arguably the most famous train in South America. It will take you from Poroy Station (just outside Cuzco) and leave you in Aguas Calientes; which is a small town situated at the base of Machu Picchu. This luxury train was named after the American explorer who rediscovered the Incan citadel. It also boasts a 1920's charm with wood-paneled interiors and brass finishes. The Hiram Bingham winds through the Sacred Valley hills and along the Urubamba River. You'll enjoy traditional Peruvian cuisine in the dining car and live music in the bar car. This 3-hour journey is an extra special highlight for anyone visiting Machu Picchu.
#3. Belmond Andean Explorer Train – From Cuzco to Puno
The first of its kind in South America – a luxury sleeper train – has recently come to Peru. This train now allows you to traverse the Peruvian Andes in comfort and style. Called the Belmond Andean Explorer Train, you can choose multiple journeys between Cuzco and Puno that last one or two nights.
Each day you'll have an activity where you get off the train to explore fantastic sights that a flight or vehicle transfer will skip. Your sleeper cabin will include 1 or 2 beds, a private bathroom, and windows to enjoy the gorgeous scenery. Within the train, there's a lounge bar car complete with a piano and dining cars where you'll enjoy locally sourced meals. Additionally, there is a spa (available from June 30th, 2019 on) and a comfortable observation car that has large windows and an open deck. For anyone that wants a luxurious and unique way to see the main cities of Peru – Cuzco, Lima, and Arequipa, the Belmond Andean Explorer Train cannot be missed.
#4. La Trochita – From Esquel to El Maitén
The Old Patagonian Express train, lovingly nicknamed "La Trochita", is a 1922 double-headed steam train that runs in the south of Argentina. Given its name because of its narrow gauge of 75 cm, this is a must ride for any real train enthusiast. Boasting a unique historical and cultural charm, this is more of an experience than a luxury train. With simple seating, small windows, and wood-burning stoves, this train slowly chugs through the Patagonian foothills. More frequent is the journey from Esquel to Nahuel Pan. It is a quick 45-minute journey in a vintage carriage that allows its passengers to listen to the sounds of an old steam train and enjoy the fresh air. Less frequent is the 9-hour journey between Esquel and El Maitén. These journeys are exclusive for the special locomotive enthusiast wanting to learn more about the railways and this fantastic machine.
#5. Serra Verde Express – Curitiba to Morretes
Perhaps containing the most interesting in terms of landscapes is the Serra Verde Express. The diesel and electric fueled train slowly travels through the Atlantic Rainforest in Southeast Brazil. Completed in 1885, this train once transported goods to the coast but now is a thrilling 3-hour journey through the treetops of the rainforest for train enthusiasts and tourists alike. The Serra Verde Express runs 380 miles between the cities of Curitiba and Morretes. You'll pass through 13 tunnels and 30 bridges (one at 55 meters high) and see mountainous canyons and lush rainforest. The interior of the train is simple but comfortable with large windows that you can open. The Serra Verde Express is a definite hidden gem, we recommend this for anyone with a love for nature or trains!
Trains in South America can be a teacher of years past or a luxurious way to see the countryside and highlights. What type of locomotive enthusiast are you? We invite you to contact us today to plan your customized train trip through South America!

Winter Session Intensive Course in Fashion Photography
The 5th edition of the Fashion Photography Intensive course offered by the Academy of photography John Kaverdash, will take place from the 8th to the 17th of January 2020.
Course will start with an introduction to fashion photography, where will be analyzed the different trends and styles of the contemporary photographers. Focus will then move on to the needed technique to arrange set and lights.
During the hands-on-sessions, shooting on studio will alternate with the outdoor one and the students will have the chance to work together with professionals (photographers, models, stylists and make-up artists) and to understand how they interact among each other.
This setting creates an important and experiential journey and allows young professionals to gain confidence in managing the set, by using high-quality equipment entirely provided by John Kaverdash Academy.
Course will take place from Monday to Friday, 8 hours per day, for a total amount of 64 hours.

Officer Elvis Robert Mullard was a nineteen-year-old guard at the Happy Jack Harvest Camp who died during the clapper incident.
Elvis was originally a ward of the state. When he was still in his state home, he had dreams of starting a business with his friends, but once they got out, no one loaned them, being StaHo kids, start-up money. He changed his last name from Ward to Mullard—the name of the richest family in town, and also a very common surname grabbed by StaHo kids upon their release.
Mullard had been working several unfulfilling jobs when he landed the harvest camp guard gig a year after his release, and it was a job he grew to hate. He was on duty, guarding the Chop Shop, when two clappers came in the guise of Unwinds ordered to bring food to the band playing on the rooftop. Initially skeptical as he found them suspicious, he let them through when no one responded to his call, but not before taking a chicken breast from the plate for himself. Because of this, Mullard was later caught in the explosion that ensued.
Since most of the bodies were unrecognizable after the blast, Mullard's ID and identity was given to Connor Lassiter to support the presumption that the Akron AWOL died in the attack.

After the popularity of Star Trek IV, it's a shame that the most unpopular Trek film had to follow with Star Trek V: The Final Frontier. For all intents and purposes it has to be said that, yes, Star Trek V is a terrible, awful film. But I like it. Yes, it's pretty stupid, with Kirk, Spock and McCoy singing Row Row Row Your Boat. Yes, the whole idea of the Starship on a journey to find God is pretty silly and redundant. But for all its dumbness, I feel a certain nostalgic connection with this film. My parents took me to all the other Star Trek films, but I was too young to remember them. This is the first Star Trek feature I saw and actually remembered. I was about 8 years old when this movie came out. I knew enough to know it wasn't a great movie. But for what its worth I liked it. And to this day, I think it's a underrated. I could watch this movie more times than the boring and long winded Star Trek: The Motion Picture. It's certainly more tolerable to me than the mediocre Star Trek: Nemesis. This is definitely a crappy film. But I did learn something while I was in film school…you are allowed to enjoy shit, as long as you recognize in the back of your mind its shit. Star Trek V is a shitty film. But I love it.
I don't know exactly on what level this movie appeals to me. Maybe it's the search for God aspect that I find intriguing. I always found it funny that the Great Barrier might have supposedly been this far off place, but with the time they spend traveling it seems like it's right on their back doorstep. They're also just as surprised when they manage to fly a starship through it. You'd think somebody would have sent a probe in to analyze the interior. Oh well. There's logic gaps galore in its story. The main threat of the Klingons is some punk kid Klingon who for some reason has enough power to overrule his elder Klingon crew who clearly know he's an idiot for trying to take on Captain Kirk. There's Sybok, whose power to mind control people is never really explained. There isn't really much in the way of character work either. I don't think anyone really learns anything from this experience, except for Sybok who finds out he was duped this whole time, and whose sacrifice doesn't really do squat to stop the alien "God". I suppose you could say it's the adventure nobody really asked for and it turned out nobody needed after all. Nobody's really on a search to renew their faith. It's basically an inconsequential haphazard Star Trek adventure.
But I think there has to be at least one Star Trek film that takes us into the realm of the silly idea. After all, The Original Series was loaded with silly episodes (Spock's Brain anyone?), or the one where we discover the Greek Gods are actually aliens that came to Greece long ago. Tribbles. Need I say more? This is the one reason I like this film so much…because it is a silly pointless adventure. I don't think it really takes itself that seriously either. It's got the best, most silly line in all of Star Trek. Kirks, "What does God need with a Starship?" There is the one thing that I think keeps this film together in the spirit of Star Trek, and it's the bonding between Kirk, Spock, and McCoy. For all the people who hate the sing a long campfire scene, it's a silly scene yes. But the friendship and bond between these men is true to the series. Kirk brings up some sentiments that he keeps them around because he feels its his fate to die alone. It's why I find some charm in the end, after Spock saves Kirk from the alien presence at the end, Kirk says to Spock, "I thought I was going to die alone." Spock: "Impossible. You were never alone." These guys are family.
It's kind of funny too that the Enterprise falling apart seems like a perfect metaphor for this movie, where everything is broken and nothing really works right. You almost have to wonder if this might have been a nod to the film itself. To be just outright bad as a film is a gift that only The Original Series could bring. You don't find enough episodes that are bad in TNG, but worse they are just mediocre. A mediocre film to me is far worse than a film that's just straight bad. With a mediocre film, there's always a promising idea but poor execution and not firing on all thrusters. A bad film will fire on all thrusters and wind up blowing up the ship. Some films are just made that way. But while the thing is going down in flames….it doesn't mean you can't enjoy the ride.
This film was also getting near the end of the Original Series films, and you can see the cast was starting to wind down and probably wanted to make a film that didn't have to be taken too seriously. I actually think The Undiscovered Country has more of the "We don't give a shit anymore" feel from the cast than this film does, despite having a better story. But I always felt that I could take the worst Star Trek film over the worst Star Wars prequels any day. At least there's some attempts at acting in this movie.
Overall my consensus is, Star Trek V: The Final Frontier is a giant turd. And what a beautiful, glorious flaming turd it is too.

Do I need to see a urologist for my vasectomy? A comparison of practice patterns between urologists and family medicine physicians

Urologists perform the majority of vasectomies in the United States; however, family medicine physicians (FMPs) perform up to 35%. We hypothesized that differences exist in practice patterns and outcomes between urologists and FMPs. Patients who underwent a vasectomy from 2010 to 2016 were identified. Postvasectomy semen analysis (PVSA) practices were compared between urologists and FMPs, before and after release of the 2012 AUA vasectomy guidelines. From 2010 to 2016, FMPs performed 1435 (35.1%) of all vasectomies. PVSA follow-up rates were similar between the two groups (63.4% vs 64.8%, P = 0.18). Of the patients with follow-up, the median number of PVSAs obtained was 1 (range 1–6) in both groups (P = 0.22). Following the release of guidelines, fewer urologists obtained multiple PVSAs (69.8% vs 28.9% pre- and post-2012, P < 0.01). FMPs had a significant but lesser change in the use of multiple PVSAs (47.5% vs 38.4%, P < 0.01). Both groups made appropriate changes in the timing of the first PVSA, but FMPs continued to obtain PVSAs before 8 weeks (15.0% vs 6.5%, P < 0.01). FMPs had a higher rate of positive results in PVSAs obtained after 8 weeks, the earliest recommended by the AUA guidelines (4.1% vs 1.3%, P < 0.01). Significant differences in PVSA utilization between FMPs and urologists were identified and were impacted by the release of AUA guidelines in 2012. In summary, FMPs obtained multiple PVSAs more frequently and continued to obtain PVSAs prior to the 8-week recommendation, suggesting less penetration of AUA guidelines to nonurology specialties. Furthermore, FMPs had more positive results on PVSAs obtained within the recommended window.

New Mudguards
I bought some SKS Race Mudguards for my road bike, which are clip on ones easier to fit, and a better fit than my Crud ones. I've fixed them on but haven't given them a proper road test yet. I've also been comparing the weight of my road and hybrids with pannier rack, mudguards, lock and full wedge saddlebag and the road is 12 kg compared with 15 kg for the hybrid. So on a touring trip with luggage it would make sense to use the road bike. I'd quite like to do a tour round France or somewhere one day.

Drugmakers tout new medicines as eye disease battle intensifies
[ZURICH] Switzerland's Roche and Novartis and other drugmakers are touting new treatments for a blindness-causing disease that hits millions of older people, as patent expiries are set to open up one of medicine's most lucrative markets.
Roche's experimental treatment faricimab showed long-lasting effectiveness against age-related macular degeneration (AMD), the Basel-based drugmaker said on Monday, potentially reducing the frequency of uncomfortable, direct-in-the-eye shots.
Molecular Partners, together with partner Allergan , and Novartis, also released data on new AMD medicines at an industry conference in Chicago.
For years, Lucentis, from Roche and Novartis, and Bayer and Regeneron's Eylea, have dominated AMD treatment, with combined 2017 sales topping US$9 billion.
With patent expiries starting in 2020, however, the scramble is on to preserve - or capture - a chunk of one of medicine's hardest-fought areas, analysts said.
Your feedback is important to us
Tell us what you think. Email us at firstname.lastname@example.com
The AMD landscape is getting more crowded and less differentiated, with new medicines offering only marginal therapeutic improvements while remaining costly, said Baader Helvea analyst Bruno Bulic.
The question, Bulic said, is: "How long the cash cow can still be milked before the end?"
Potential pricing reforms under US President Donald Trump could also disrupt the market.
The US government-administered Medicare health plan for seniors spent US$3.25 billion in 2016 on Eylea and Lucentis alone. The Trump administration is seeking ways to lower the cost of drugs on Medicare.
That could eventually help Samsung Bioepis of South Korea and Mylan, which are developing biosimilars of Lucentis and Eylea that are expected to be cheaper.
The new drugs will also still face competition from Roche's Avastin, a cancer medicine used for years to treat AMD in many markets despite not being officially approved to do so. Avastin costs just a fraction of Lucentis and Eylea.
Last month, Novartis, Bayer and Roche lost a bid to stop British doctors from recommending Avastin, potentially clearing the way for Britain's National Health Service to begin broader use of the cheaper drug.
Because new AMD drugs in studies have proven to be as effective, but not necessarily better, in helping vision as Eylea and Lucentis, their backers are seeking to underscore other benefits, like the need for less frequent shots.
Compared with monthly Lucentis injections, "data show the potential of faricimab to allow fewer injections while achieving and sustaining the same visual gains," said Sandra Horning, Roche's chief medical officer.
Novartis plans to submit its new drug, RTH258, to US and European regulators in December, with approval due next year. It is promoting RTH258 data showing the drug is better than Eylea at controlling fluid in the retina, a hallmark of AMD.

I am about to vote third party, for the first time in my life, and I know many would assume that is because I have no love for the democratic presidential nominee. Actually, the reverse is true.
I have admired the former first lady, since day one, when I cheered on the election of President Clinton I in November of 1992. I was inspired by her non-typical role in the white house, an equal partner with her husband, who I first heard of as Hillary Rodham, the name she was born with and did not change immediately upon marriage. That year, I was a sophomore at the all-women, liberal bastion of Barnard College, and I decided I too would proudly keep my name, no matter who I married. I was thrilled when Hillary decided to run in the 2008 primary, so grateful for the opportunity to vote for the first women president, and I believed in her, the author of It Takes a Village.
Yes it really does take a village, and you can certainly see it in her campaign, how she relies on this village of support. I see my friends, proudly voting for the first woman to become president of the united states, and it fills me with a special thrill. This is historic, this is about time, to have this kind of role model for our daughters and ourselves. Women can do anything they put their minds to.
And yet, I will not personally partake in that victory. Videos of Hillary and her youngest and oldest supporters going to the voting booth tug at my heart strings. Ahh, to be like these proud women! But this year I have learned things about the democratic party, about the deception and willingness to skirt the edge of legality, that has marked her campaign, and I cannot. I have to vote my conscience, and I feel sad that I cannot be part of history in the making.
I don't believe I will be helping to elect a President Trump. In a swing state, I would be voting strategically against him, no doubt. I don't want our nation to go backwards either. But I don't hate him or his voters either. They aren't all deplorable racists. If we were having a real debate about the issues that face America, I think it would be clearer, that he gets some things right, though certainly not most things.
Unfortunately, these aren't small issues that the party establishment has chosen to ignore. Our working and middle class citizens have been losing their voice within both the Republican and Democratic parties. Our representatives pay lip service to the issues that affect us on a fundamental level, but with only a few exceptions, none stand up to fight for us when they reach the capitol with their entourage of aides and lobbyists. Policy and legislation is written by the corporations and wealthy individuals that funded them. The wool was pulled from my eyes this year. The fact is that this two party system and the tremendous influence of money in politics has stymied any hope that we can make real progress.
So instead of partaking in the historic moment that I have long yearned for, I am voting to strengthen an alternative voice. I am voting for a woman who probably has no chance of winning in this election, but who speaks truth to power, just as Bernie Sanders did during the primary. I believe that to hold a Clinton presidency, or any elected official, accountable to the people, it needs to know that voters have choices. Enough with the politics of acrimony and derision, that attempt to silence any opponent. Now is the time to raise up these alternative voices, so that we all win.

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow! Yep, December is already here.
Let's keep this month as real as possible. With the Holidays coming up and visiting family, not sure how much will get done.
So here is what I'd like to get done for the month.
Imperial Guard
1. Finish priming the rest of my Troops for my 1750 point list.
2. Get 3 more Foot Troop units painted (24 guys). This will have all my "Troops" done. Just Command Squads, Special Weapons, Heavy Weapons will be all that's left.
3. Possibly start on a Chimera if I have any primer left over.
Wood Elves
1. Finish rebasing the rest of the Wood Elves.
2. Finish a unit of Glade Guard that I started almost 2 years ago. They are half done. Will try the dip on them.
3. Assemble a unit of Glade Riders that my son receive last year for Christmas. Not sure if I will be building all 8 or just 5. Need to check with my friends who play WE's on whats the best way to run Glade Riders.
Dark Elves
1. Finish up my 3x10 units of Warriors with Crossbows.
2. Finish a unit of Warriors with HW/Shield (20).
3. Assemble another unit of Warriors with HW/Shield (20)
I hope I'm keeping this "real" :)

With all my posts about my family vacation to Puerto Rico, I had to find some way to slip in a religion/atheism angle, being this is a primarily atheist themed blog.
Because our flight for Puerto Rico last Sunday was scheduled to fly out of JFK at 7:30 A.M., it made more sense to take a taxi to the airport rather than ride the LIRR in the cold and darkness to Jamaica Station to catch the Air Train.
My wife called the taxi company and our driver was literally there like 5 minutes later. As my wife used to take the taxi home from the train station before we got a second car, the cab driver was a man that she knew.
He was quite a gregarious fellow, and he was talking with my wife who was seated behind him about the latest developments in his life. It didn't take him long before he dropped this bombshell:
"A couple of months ago I became a born again Christian! All this time, I was looking for God, but it was God who found me!" I could barely suppress a groan.
It turns out the guy was raised Jewish and had been having a crisis of faith or something, so his mom pushed him to go to Israel, which would supposedly reconnect him with his Jewish roots.
"Who would have guessed," he declared, "that a Jewish man would become a Christian by going to Israel."
It was my wife however, who astutely guessed the real reason. She asked him if he had met a girl.
"Yes, I did," he replied. "She was the daughter of a missionary."
It turned out that they had since broken up, but are apparently still on good terms. From there, he proceeded to blab about the Jews and the Catholics getting it all wrong, and then rambling something about a section of Romans being banned in Canada. I had guessed that what he was driving at was some verse or other that condemned homosexuality. As my two young children were sitting in the back seat, I said, "I would prefer that you don't talk about this in front of my kids."
"Sure, no problem!" he cheerfully complied. He also made mention of some Christian radio station he listened to that had all kinds of important things to say about the future, and he mentioned some date in March or May of 2010 or 2011, I can't remember which, in which something really profound would happen.
As much as I was tempted to take the Cabbie for Christ to task for some of the things he said or ask him what he would do if nothing happened on the date he mentioned, as he was zipping along the parkway in the darkness of the predawn hour, my primary concern was that my family and I make it to JFK safely. The last thing I wanted was for the guy to get into a traffic accident because he was distracted by the argumentative atheist in the passenger seat. Afterwards, my wife said to me that she was surprised that I had kept quiet, and I explained to her why.

Couldn't agree more. When your life (and family) are in a faith heads hands like that, distraction is the last thing thats needed.
I'm sure he had enough on his mind, preparing for 2010/11 or whatever.

Hmmm, so do you think there's some kind of whores for Christ thing going on? What a devious plan! Use young women to target and seduce men, get them hooked on Christianity, then detach, but stay on "good terms".

text: My recommendation (based on a lot of reading on the subject) is that a cat gets two basic vaccinations as a kitten. Then one when the cat's 1 year. And then every 3-4 years.BUT the important part is to take the cat to the veterinary every year still! Cats are amazing at hidding illness, so at least one yearly check-up is highly recommended So don't save the money on the yearly visit, as you might spare your cat a lot of pain

It's pumpkin season so here's a first pumpkin recipe! I say "first" because there will be a few more in the weeks to come...That one big can of pumpkin puree was BIG.
These muffins are really nice and spicy, with the ginger and the cloves. That's one thing I love about pumpkin. The spices that go with it are some of my favorites. Cloves, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger. Good stuff.
Okay here it is:
Dry stuff:
2 1/2 cup whole wheat pastry flour (or unbleached all-purpose flour)
1 1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
1/4 tsp ground cloves
wet stuff:
1 cup packed dark brown sugar
3/4 cup pumpkin puree
3/4 cup plain low-fat yogurt
1 egg
1 TBSP canola oil
2 tsp crystalized ginger, finely choppede
1/2 cup chopped pecans
Turn the oven on at 350, set the rack in the middle of the oven and oil-spray some muffin tins.
Mix all dry ingredients in one bowl, set aside.
In another bowl beat all the wet ingredients and the ginger until frothy.
Make a well in the center of the dry stuff, pour in the wet stuff and the pecans and stir with a wooden spoon or spatula until just combined. Do not overmix...(this would mean tough muffins, and we don't want that.)
Bake for 20-22 minutes(check after 20 and see...). Cool on a rack in the pan for 10 minutes before unmolding.
I found them really good with margarine on it, but also applesauce rocks with these, since the spices go well with apple too!

MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Parents in one Oakhaven neighborhood want answers. They say their kids are constantly late to school – and they blame the bus drivers.
Parents tell WREG one specific bus is regularly either late or never even shows up at all, and they've had to take it upon themselves to get the kids to school.
"I think it's crazy," said mom Tuere Dubone.
She is just one of several parents and grandparents on Aquarius Avenue who say they're fed up.
"I work, I'm a single parent, and it's very inconvenient when the bus don't come," she said.
Parents say the bus drivers who take their little ones to Ross Elementary School often pick up and drop off their kids an hour or two behind schedule.
"They're supposed to drop them off at 4:45 and it be sometimes 5:30, quarter to six," said one grandmother, who wanted to remain anonymous. "In the morning time, it's been as late as 10:30."
Parents say the bus is supposed to pick the kids up at 8:20 a.m., but for the past month off and on, that hasn't been happening.
When WREG showed up to talk to concerned parents around 9:15 a.m. Thursday, the bus was just arriving – nearly an hour late.
"I just think it's ridiculous," Dubone said. "They need to do something about it."
Several parents say they've called Durham School Services, which owns and operates the buses, repeatedly, but the problem continues.
"They kept saying, 'We're on the way. We're sending a bus. They're on the way,'" Dubone said.
One grandparent says she drove the neighborhood kids to school herself Wednesday when it became clear the bus wasn't coming at all.
"We sit out here until about 10:15 waiting on the bus to pick the kids up. The bus never showed up," she said.
Dubone's 5-year-old son was one of those kids.
"Without her, I don't know how my son would have got to school," she said.
They say they're worried about their children and grandchildren missing breakfast at school, missing important tests and assignments and falling behind in class.
"How can they learn what they need to get if they are an hour or two hours late every day attending school? I don't think that's fair to our babies," one grandmother told WREG.
A representative for Durham responded, saying the company is aware of the matters and apologizing to parents for the inconvenience.
"We have placed a new driver, who is more familiar with the area, on the route starting this afternoon. With the new driver, we expect an improvement in the timeliness of pick up and drop offs," the company said.
SCS had not responded Thursday afternoon.

BrainwaveX Stress Reduction is a ground-breaking brainwave light therapy to reduce stress and recover the destructive effects of (chronic) stress in the brain.
Stressful life events can harm your brain's memory and learning capacity by reducing the volume of gray matter in brain regions associated with emotions, self-control and physiological functions.
Exposed to chronic stress early in life are prone to mental problems such as anxiety and mood disorders later in life, as well as learning difficulties.
Ongoing stress can contribute to lost volume in the brain's medial prefrontal cortex and halt the production of new neurons in the hippocampus.
Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR), one of the most widely used mindfulness training programs increases gray matter concentration in the hippocampus, the medial prefrontal cortex, the posterior cingulate cortex, the temporo-parietal junction, the cerebellum, the inferior temporal gyrus, the anterior cingulate cortex, the insula and the pons.
BrainwaveX Stress Reduction consist of 3 different sessions.
Session 1 is 5 minutes.
Session 2 is 5 minutes.
Session 3 is 3:30 minutes.

App design shortlist
Heineken Star Player by AKQA
Billed as the world's first multi-platform live dual-screen football game, Heineken Star Player allows football fans to play along live with their favourite teams, predicting the outcome of key moments as the match unfolds to earn points and compete with friends. When a 'match moment' (i.e. a corner, free kick or penalty) occurs, an alert is triggered in the Star Player Facebook game or iPhone app, inviting players to choose between four possible outcomes. When the result plays out, scores are awarded in real-time and players can compare their results instantly with friends.
Nike Training Club by AKQA
The app is aimed particularly at 17-24-year-old girls, to give them a tool that helps them to work out, lose weight, tone up and enhance performance. It features a range of pro-trainer workouts, built with explanatory videos for more than 100 exercises, detailed audio instruction from a Nike pro trainer and celebrity and athlete rewards to keep the user motivated.

Hat-Trick Design was briefed by Great British Chefs to develop an app that would bring together the culinary expertise of 12 of Britain's most celebrated chefs, including Tom Aikens and Marcus Wareing. The app features three menus comprising five courses from each of the chefs, with voice-control and 'how-to' videos as well as a shopping list function. Hat-trick used a black-and-white colour palette to act as a neutral background foil to the colourful food and editorial-style photography of the chefs.
