Grinnell Point stands above Swiftcurrent Lake. The smoothness of the early morning lake creates a mirror image of the surrounding mountains and clouds in the sky.
Month: September 2018
Cherokee National Forest
Once the branches were cut the Jeep cleared it with ease. But due to the angle we entered, the trailer was going to hit. Luckily, Michelle was able to give it just enough boost to raise the tree just the inch we needed. I should have had her swinging the axe 🙂
With the tree clear we were on our way. Once on Kimsey Mountain Hwy, it was smooth sailing (still dirt road though) back to State Route 30. From there we headed south towards home.
Hell’s Revenge – Moab 2018
Over the weekend, we decided to takeoff for a quick overnighter into the Cohutta Wilderness. So we packed up the trailer and headed north. We have explored this area plenty of times before, but there were a few trails I wanted to add to my map. The yellow roads were my targets, and the blue routes already explored.
We drove north on 411 through Pine Log, Fairmount, Chatsworth, and then stopped in Eton for a quick lunch before hitting the trails. Paul’s Drive In was right on 411 and sounded good enough for a quick lunch before hitting the trails. A few cheeseburgers later, a quick stop at the gas station next door and all our tanks are full!
While we could have started in Eton on Old CCC Camp Road, we decided to travel a little further north to Crandall and enter from Mill Creek Road. The first section of this road is paved, but quickly turns to a dirt Forest Service Road. It winds its way for about 10 miles or so before getting to the intersection for Murray Lake or Lake Conasauga and the Hickory Creek Trailhead. The view at the overlook has you looking north-west back towards Cisco, GA. and into Tennessee.
We made a right turn at the intersection (which is West Cow Pen Road) and headed on into the Cohutta Wilderness and Lake Conasauga. About half way along the segment, there is another scenic overlook with a wooden platform. This view has you looking west and while we passed this during the afternoon I high recommend planning a evening to catch the sunset. We did that a few years back and the view was awesome!
After the overlook, we rode on for another few miles until we arrived at Lake Conasauga. There are about 30 campsites, all primitive with no water or electricity. All of them have a tent pad, picnic table, and there is two restrooms with running water – but no showers.
There are about 7 sites right on the edge of the lake, and another 5 or so close enough to have a good view of the lake. While not big, the lake does have an area for swimming, several fishing spots, and ample room for kayaking. This time we were not fortunate enough to get a spot right on the lake – maybe next time as all the sites are first come, first served.
After setting up camp, I broke out the HF rig to try to make a few contacts. I was able to hear quite a few calling all the way from Ohio, but was never able to fully make a radio connection.
No camp is complete without a campfire!!!
After everyone else in the campground started bedding down, and the majority of the campfires had smouldered out, it was time for a little astrophotography! The lighted area on the horizon must have been the street glow from Ellijay – some 15 miles to the southeast. After a few hours, and our own campfire was burnt out, it was time for bed. It was amazing to fall asleep to the sound of a million crickets and katydids.
The next morning we woke feeling refreshed and ready to do some exploring. After breakfast we took the short hike around the lake. It’s total length is about 1.2 miles.
After the hike, we loaded up to go explore. Our custom built offroad trailer is quite capable, and tracks easily behind the jeep, and could probably go almost anywhere the Jeep could.
We drove out Lake Conasauga Road until it intersected back into Old CCC Camp Road. From there we backtracked towards Murray Lake on West Cow Pen Road and then onto Old Hwy 2 (which is all dirt now). From there, we turned onto East Cow Pen Road. They had it posted for control burns, but we thought we would see how far we could get and just maybe it was open all the way through – no luck! From what I know, it really has never been open all the way through during our years of exploring, or either we have been on it and I forgot all about running it. We did come across a few water crossings and waterfalls though, so that made it worthwhile for us.
So from there we backtracked, and headed north on Peavine Sneed Creek Road, and turned off on FSR 221. Oh did I mention at this point we were in Tennessee. We then turned off onto FSR 374 headed towards Hogback Ridge. I had never been on this section, so I was not familiar with it, or if it even went all the way though. We met several vehicles along the way, so that gave me hope that it came out over on the Ocoee River or Lake Ocoee… BUT no luck again. After about 7 miles, we came to the end were .5 miles from both the lake and river on either side of the ridge. SO CLOSE!! Time to back track and head south towards the house.
There are a few other areas I want to explore, so this won’t be our last trip into the Cohutta Wilderness!!!

Never laugh at anyone's dreams
The unique sound of a güiro opens this tune, introducing a slow
Cha-cha-chá groove. One by one, instruments from a 13-piece ensemble enter to augment Matt’s piano. The arrangement features the Emtalehs Brass, along with Hector "Coco" Barez on congas and Randall Pharr on double bass. A myriad of percussion friends came over to play along. A good time was had…with lots of laughter.
Album Review: Laughed
2021 / Dolce & Nuit Productions
Review by Kathy Parsons
“Laughed” is pianist/composer Matt Johnson’s first single release of 2021, and who couldn’t use a healthy dose of laughter these days? This upbeat piece was originally composed in 1993 and comes with the admonition to “never laugh at anyone’s dreams.” The whimsical cover artwork shows a suited adult male wearing goggles and gleefully riding a small tricycle with a rocket strapped to his back - ready to blast off! This is definitely an unusual album cover and I love it!
“Laughed” begins with a slow Cha-cha-chá groove performed on a güiro (a Latin-American percussion instrument). More instruments are added as the piece unfolds, and it becomes a lively Latin jazz piece featuring a 13-member ensemble with brass, percussion and bass as well as Matt’s piano. There is even a pause in the middle for some infectious laughter. What a great way to start the year - and the day, the week, tomorrow’s lunch, etc.! The recording can be downloaded for free from Matt’s website, and it is also available to download and/or stream from Amazon, Apple Music, Spotify, Pandora, and others.
Matt Johnson also offers his sheet music as free downloads from his site. The sheet music for “Laughed” has been arranged for solo piano and also has several lead sheets. The piano part is nine pages and in the key of Bb minor (5 flats). The lead sheets are all three pages and are in Bb minor (concert pitch), C minor (for Bb instruments), and G minor (for Eb instruments). (And yes, there is a notation to “chuckle” in the appropriate place!) The sheet music for “Laughed” is also available from SheetMusicPlus.com.
Whether you want to listen to or play “Laughed” yourself (or with a few friends!), it’s sure to brighten your day!
Matt offers his original music with no expectation of payment. The above audio files and musical scores are absolutely FREE for your personal use and enjoyment.
However, donations are always appreciated.

First Time Home Buyer (self.personalfinance)

[–]zerj 2 points3 points4 points 2 years ago (8 children)
I'd guess no in your situation but you should provide how much it costs to float down the loan. If your saving less than $15 a month, how many months would it take to break even. Say it costs $1000 to float down, you'd have to stay in that home for 66 months to save $1000. So if your going to perhaps move in less than that time it definately wouldn't be worth it.
As a first time home buyer, I'd probably not want to pay any points on the loan for other reasons. Closing that loan is stressful enough as you have a hard time limit of when the seller wants his money and when you get to move in. So the top choice there is a bank that can close on time and rates are a little less important. So I'd want to keep my costs low at that point, and then refinance later on when its no big deal when the bank takes 11 weeks to approve the slightly non-standard loan.
As an aside, I've never actually used American Interbanc to refinance, but I always have this page bookmarked as they seem to have really nice rates and often its hard to get a bank to give you their rates upfront without first applying. 3.625 doesn't seem like a particularly great rate, but as you say this is your first home buy, and your likely working with a local bank. My last 3 refis were done with internet banks and while I get a great rate, it is a hassle and I'm not confident they could make a closing deadline.
[–]qfeverq[S] 0 points1 point2 points 2 years ago (7 children)
I am not sure on the exact details of the float down option. It's not in the GFE.
I was originally pressured to lock in the rate with a fear that rates would go up soon. I stayed with the company but switched officers. A few days after locking, rates were basically 3.5 everywhere. I called and asked if anything could be done and was informed of a float down option when it's 15 days within closing. Not sure if this will cost money or not. If it's $1,000 to float down, I will skip it.
I guess I feel like I am annoying the loan officer and being seen as a "rate chaser," which I guess I am guilty of. I want to save as much money as possible. We are literally in the final steps of the underwriting. I guess I could explore refi in the near future, but I guess it won't be worth it.
I am not sure how much I should pursue the float down option, i.e. argue that he didn't disclose the float down would cost me money. He did suggest I look at other loan companies if we were unhappy with the rate and how the previous loan officer pressured me into locking. I am guessing it's too late to find someone else when we are closing in a little over 2 weeks. I learned a lot as a first time home buyer. Just seems against their best interest to not treat a first time home buyer well if they want business again and referrals.
[–]zerj 0 points1 point2 points 2 years ago (6 children)
I don't know your terms either, if its free sure why not. However the terms of the float down options I've seen have made that offer rather hollow. Usually something like it is free if the rate drops by more than 0.5%, or you have to pay some fee. Since it's unlikely that the rate will ever drop that much within your 30 day lock it might not be much of an offer.
In my experience banks just don't really seem to want repeat business for Mortgage loans. I've refinanced my current loan about 5 times (I've lived here for 13 years and the rate back in 2000 was 7.75%. I have never intentionally ended up with the same bank twice. When looking to refinance I always call my current loan company and ask what they can do to lower the rate. The answer is always, not much. I had one humerous occasion where I had used an independent broker to get a good rate with BoA. About a year later rates had dropped by about 0.75% and I called BoA and asked them what my options were. They stated their best refi offer was 0.125% higher than my current loan. So I called the same broker again, and they hooked me up with the cheaper mortgage, which coincidentally was again with BoA. I still can't figure out how that was in BoA's best interest.
[–]qfeverq[S] 0 points1 point2 points 2 years ago (5 children)
Generally how much does it cost to refi? From what I can gather reading online, rates are only going to increase starts Q3 of this year.
[–]zerj 0 points1 point2 points 2 years ago (0 children)
I think there is always about $1500 in costs no matter what.
~500 for Title Insurance/Title Search
~500 for the Lawyer to show up and sign paperwork with you* My state requires an actual lawyer instead of just a notary so my cost may be higher here.
~500 in misc junk, documentation fee, making sure you don't live in a flood plain, recording fees etc.
These fees are always there but can be paid for you if you opt for a no closing cost loan, your still paying them but you pay with via the higher interest rate in a no cost loan.
Additionally then you have your pre-pays which aren't really costs. You have to fund the escrow account of your new loan and pay the new loan's interest for a partial month depending on your closing date. However your old mortgage company will be sending you a check when it closes out your escrow account, and any interest you pay for the new loan is interest your not paying for the old loan. In my case this is about another 2 grand (property tax is expensive where I live) which I usually just roll into the mortgage principal and then make an extra payment when I get the escrow refund from first bank.
[–]loopy212 0 points1 point2 points 2 years ago* (0 children)
It's all how much you believe the crystal ball. The most recent FOMC guidance was for the rates to remain at current levels until 2015.
You don't interest rate speculate on your primary residence. Don't worry about the future rates, just worry about what you can get now.
[–]briansbiceps 0 points1 point2 points 2 years ago (2 children)
Hi Loan officer here... If you lock in anywhere between 3.625-3.375% on a 30 year loan you will never refinance to a better rate. These rates may last for a few months, hell maybe even a year (I know... in my dreams) but, you will never find them again and it would be a bad plan going into a mortgage to plan on refinancing down the road. Obviously a lower interest rate can be obtained moving from a 30yr to a 15, but that is a different story.
[–]qfeverq[S] 0 points1 point2 points 2 years ago (1 child)
Thanks. Not looking to refi. It was brought up and was curious to see the cost. As I mentioned earlier, I read rates won't stay this low.
I just want to end this knowing I was treated fairly and was not misled. Guess you can't expect that all the time.

New book about respected Burnley ornithologist and historian Ken Spencer
A new book has been released about the life of respected Burnley ornithologist and historian Ken Spencer.
A familiar face in Burnley particularly in the town's Central Library, Ken himself has written several natural history books over the years and in 2016 was awarded the MBE in the Queen's New Year's Honours List.
The new book, 'Ken Spencer of Burnley, Ornithologist and Historian', has been written by Ken's lifelong friend Stephen Ward.
Stephen said: "I have known Ken since 1957, when I met him at the East Lancashire Ornithology Club. Ken was able to verify a record of a green sandpiper near Altham; since then over the years he and I have recorded many a species in Lancashire.
"In 1953 Ken wrote 'The Lapwing in Britain' which for more than 50 years was the definitive work on this species.
"For many years, Ken and his partner Barbara Bailey, were the go-to couple in caring for injured birds. Ken was also one of the citizens who took a leading role in the By-Laws dispute."
A trained Librarian, for more than 30 years Ken worked as a volunteer in Burnley Central Library, where the staff held him in great esteem for his encyclopaedic knowledge of local history.
Indeed, in 2018, staff there surprised him with a celebration to honour his 90th birthday.
Having been nominated by the staff, Ken was awarded Volunteer of the Year in 2014. That acted as a stepping stone and, in 2016, Ken was made a Member of the British Empire.
Copies of the book can be purchased over the counter at Nu-Age Print and Copy, 289 Padiham Road, Burnley, BB12 0HA for £10, or direct from the author Stephen Ward, 8 Herons Reach, LA5 0AD with a cheque for £11.50 to cover P&P.
This is a not-for-profit publication with all proceeds going to the British Trust For Ornithology with which Ken has been acquainted since 1934.

Rilke, an auctioneer, comes upon a hidden collection of violent erotic photographs. He feels compelled to unearth more about the deceased owner who coveted them. What follows is a journey of discovery, decadence and deviousness, steered in part by Rilke's gay promiscuity and inquisitive nature.
For this outstanding contemporary Glasgow novel, Louise Welsh won the Saltire First Book of The Year Award and the Crime Writers' Association Creasey Dagger, was chosen as one of Britain's Best First Novelists by the Guardian, and was nominated for the Orange Prize for Fiction Rilke, The Cutting Room's charismatic protagonist, is eccentric, witty, and frequently outrageous. An auctioneer by profession, he is an acknowledged expert in antiques but also considers himself something of an expert in many other fields. When he comes upon a hidden collection of graphically violent erotic photographs, he feels compelled to unearth more about the deceased owner who coveted them. What follows is a compulsive journey of discovery, decadence, and deviousness, steered in part by Rilke's gay promiscuity and inquisitive nature. Louise Welsh's writing is stylish and captivating; she combines aspects of a detective story with shades of the gothic in a colorful Glasgow ranging from the genteel suburbs to a transvestite club, auction house to the bookies, pub, and porn shop. The result is a page-turning, darkly atmosopheric, and deliciously original debut.


Immigration News Briefs
The U.S. Department of State Visa Bulletin for January 2012 is now available. The January Visa Bulletin brings incredibly good news for many in the employment-based, second preference (EB2) category. The cutoff date in EB2 for India and China will advance to January 1, 2009 in the month of January 2012. This development is more favorable than anticipated, and will allow many applicants to move into the final stage of their EB permanent residence ("green card") cases.
H.R. 3012 – Fairness for High-Skilled Immigrants Act
H.R. 3012, the Fairness for High-Skilled Immigrants Act, introduced on September 22, 2011 by Rep. Chaffetz (R-UT), eliminates the employment-based per-country cap entirely by fiscal year 2015 and raises the family-sponsored per-country cap from 7% to 15%.
On 10/27/11, the House Judiciary Committee held a markup and H.R. 3012 was reported favorably out of committee by a voice vote. An amendment from Rep. Lofgren (D-CA) that would make adjustments to the three year phase-in period was accepted. H.R. 3012 must next be scheduled for House floor debate which may occur in the next few weeks. Fairness for High-Skilled Immigrants Act of 2011 House Report 112-292
On 11/29/11 the House passed H.R. 3012, the Fairness for High-Skilled Immigrants Act by a vote of 389-15 with no additional amendments. The measure now moves on to the Senate for consideration.On 11/30/11 Senator Grassley (R-IA) made the following statement on the floor of the U.S. Senate:
"Mr. President, I rise to inform my colleagues that I am placing a hold on H.R. 3012, the Fairness for High-Skilled Immigrants Act. This bill would eliminate the per-country numerical limitations for employment-based visas and increase the numerical cap for family-based immigrants. I have concerns about the impact of this bill on future immigration flows, and am concerned that it does nothing to better protect Americans at home who seek high-skilled jobs during this time of record high unemployment."
Senate procedures allow any member of the Senate to place a "hold" on legislation or nominations in order to delay consideration of the measure or nominee. At this time it is unclear how long Senator Grassley intends to maintain his hold on H.R.3012. We will update as soon as more information becomes available.
On 12/15/12, in order to release his hold on hold on H.R. 3012, Senator Grassley offered an amendment that would make dramatic changes to the bill including elimination of the family per county limit increase and reducing the employment based per country limit to 15%. Furthermore, his amendment would eliminate the diversity visa program and adds in provisions that would increase enforcement and U.S. worker protections to the H-1B and L-1 visa programs.
Senator Grassley’s amendment was objected to, therefore his hold on the bill remains. While other senators may try to negotiate a compromise amendment with Senator Grassley, at this time it appears unlikely that such an agreement is likely.

The basal Hettangian-Sinemurian sequence is fully transgressive over basement rocks or Permo-Triassic sediments. At that time, the first open-marine sediments yet rather poor in fossils were being gay dating websites in the Aquitaine Basin. The Lias Transgressionas it is also called, started to encroach on the entire Aquitaine during the Sinemurian, characterised by calcareous-dolomitic, partially oolitic sediments.
On this shelf the generally george lopez dubya dad and dating castrated transgression sediments of the Hettangian normally comprise a base conglomerate, arkoses, and fairly thick layers of sand and george lopez dubya dad and dating castrated rich in plant material.
The rest of the Hettangian is made up of marine sediments deposited in a restricted environment lagoonal evolving towards a lacustrine facies green shales, coloured marls, dolomitic limestones and platy limestones datingg in dwarf fossils, and evaporitic interlayers.

During the Upper Domerian, another regression sets in leaving sandy limestones very rich in fossils Pleuroceras spinatumPecten aequivalvis. These littoral facies rocks can change into iron-rich oolites along their margins. The sequence finishes again with hardgrounds.
The third and last sequence of the Lias sets in during the Lower Toarcian without any detrital deposits at its lopwz, the sediments datiing black ammonite-bearing marls with Harpoceras falciferum and Hildoceras bifrons. Towards the end of the Toarcian and the beginning of the Aalenian, the sediments turn into sandy limestones indicating another regression.
Interlayered with these sandy limestones are oyster beds, iron oolite and gypsum layers; they contain ammonites like Pleydellia aalensis and Leioceras opalinum.
The sequence ends with an erosional unconformity. Along this zone reefs began to grow, splitting the Aquitaine Basin into two major facies domains. The reefs are associated with calcareous oolites and mark a high-energy zone.
On the shallow shelf-domain east of the reefs, neritic limestones were deposited in the north and dolomites in the south; in the Quercy, datingg supratidal georve limestones were formed.

The first sequence in the Dogger note sequences are only distinguished in the eastern shelf-domain starts transgressing in a restricted environment during the Bajocian with dolomites. In places, Aalenian is reworked. The Bathonian is calcareous in the northeast, whereas in the southeast it keeps its dolomitic character. The end of the sequence in the Lower Bathonian shows regressive tendencies with lignites, breccias, and lacustrine fossils in the Quercy. The Pyrenean realm meanwhile is characterised by a long hiatus.
The castrwted sequence in the Dogger begins in adting Middle Bathonian with lacustrine limestones and in castrahed with breccia-bearing detritus. This is followed by neritic limestones precipitated in calm conditions. Yet in the south, dolomites continue to be deposited. The sequence finishes friend s ex advice dating divorced the Callovian with littoral border-facies deposits.

The retreat of the Jurassic sea became noticeable during the late Tithonian with dolomites and breccias in the Adour Basin, evaporites in the Charente, extremely littoral sediments in the Quercy, lacustrine limestones in the Parentis Basin, and anhydrites in the Gers.

**Disclaimer: this is all opinion. I have no insider knowledge. This is just an article to get you to think. Enjoy**
I have been watching the NBA for 10 years now. If there is one thing that is clear to anyone that understands basketball is that there is most definitely an agenda in the NBA.
We are not talking Matrix level of agenda, where teams and players have no control over the outcomes of their fate. More like Bruce Almighty, where things could only be pushed in a different direction.
You would be remiss to believe that this wasn’t the case. For example, last year the NBA Finals was shrouded in mystery as no-calls (on both sides to be fair) and head scratching calls seem to favor pushing the Spurs/ Heat Finals match up to 7 games.
I had a good feeling that series was going to go 7 games, mainly because Joey Crawford was reffing most of the games. The fact that so many people know a referee by name (think of another ref in any sport) should give you an indication of what I mean when I say I believe that there is agenda that is pushed in the NBA.
The Finals went 7 games last year because America blindly hates the Miami Heat, and we love nothing else more than to possibly witness somebody fail. That just makes good TV, am I right Kim? Does it matter that the Spurs were a couple of BS calls away from winning the Championship? Not really because hey, LeBron James! His jerseys sell very well world-wide and come on, who the hell wants a Tim Duncan Jersey outside San Antonio?
If you have been watching the playoffs this year (which you should because these are some of the most fun playoffs I can remember) then you more than likely witnessed two instances of this agenda on back to back nights, both due to shady calls revolving the replay system. If you didn’t believe me before, hopefully this slightly persuades you.
Game 5 of OKC Thunder and La Clippers
The Thunder are slowly becoming the team America loves in basketball, and how can you not? You have an electric Russell Westbrook, and always humble yet deadly MVP in Durant. You have those sexy powder blue jerseys and a cool abbreviation for your team. They got it all over there.
So when they are matched up against a team whose owner is basically Calvin Candie, Leonardo DiCaprio’s character from Django Unchained, you have a recipe for easy TV ratings. Will this series go 7 games? Oh heck yeah. Somebody wants to milk this as much as they can.
Will the Clippers win the series? Probably not. I stated actual basketball reasons why this series will go 7 games in a previous article. Another lesser but reasonable theory is that while more people are tuning in, the whole Donald Sterling fiasco does make the NBA look bad. Best believe the sooner they can shove this under a rug, the sooner they can go about getting Lebron is third NBA title.
So to give a bit of background on why I believe this, you have to get the atmosphere of game 5 in OKC. The Clippers owned the entire night. They plays 3 quarters and 8 minutes of great basketball keeping KD shooting 6-22. It wasn’t until the waterfall that is the OKC offense finally broke through and came through in the clutch. With the Thunder down 2 points, the ball is stolen from Chris Paul and picked up by Reggie Jackson. Here is the biggest controversial call from that night.
The NBA came out and said they would uphold the call because there was not conclusive evidence that Reggie Jackson had touched the ball. If you watch the very first seconds on the clip above, you can clearly see that when the ball leaves Reggie Jackson’s hand that Matt Barnes hands are at Jackson’s waist. Right there, at the third second of the video. This is something I can see with crappy 360 p quality which begs the question what were the refs looking at? Maybe they were trying to watch the season finale for Chicago PD because they definitely were not viewing the replay in there. You might say” AJ it is a little hard to see the finger tip definition of who touched it last.” Fine whatever than explain this one.
Roc Nation Nets Vs The Justice League (Bosh is wonder woman btw)
I have no words other than clearly the Nets were not supposed to lose that game. How in the world could you say that was possession Nets. Even if you literally just started to watch basketball, you would say, yeah the guy in black touched the ball last. This video has worst video quality then the last, and it is still clear who touched it last.
If the Nets had won the game, you would have the 12 real Miami Heat fans up in arms. But its the old and dusty Nets. So nobody cares too much.
These two plays, in two different instances you witness the overall inferiority that are NBA refs. Umpires have occasion hiccups, but not often enough where people accuse the MLB of directing games. NFL refs make bad calls from time to time, but they are far between the course of a season to care that much. In fact that are pretty consistent – if they are calling bad calls, they do it for both sides and for the whole game which is more consistent than what we have in the NBA.
My dad always taught me that you can never blame the referees. You win or lose a game based on how you play, the refs are only there to moderate. And it is true. When the Clippers played pretty poorly the last 4 minutes of the game, then ultimately that is why they lost. But isn’t the point of having referees in a game is that in late game situations the right calls are to be made to ensure a fair game? Teams shouldn’t have to play against the opponent and the referees. It only happens in The U.S as well. If you watch basketball games from other countries, or even the FIBA Championship games those reffed extremely well. Mainly because there is no agenda, its just play basketball.
At some point there is going to have to be a reform in NBA officiating. It starts with getting rid of a lot of the referees that are already in place. When the Heat where down 3-2 last year going into game 6, who did the NBA have referee both game 6 and game 7? Joey Crawford. Guess who won Games 6 and 7?
The Justice League The Miami Heat. I’m not saying, I am just saying.

Pioneer 400, G-TLOY
During a test flight for the initial issue of a Permit to Fly, the pilot reported a loss of pitch control authority during a go-around from low speed. On the subsequent approach the pilot delayed lowering the landing gear to ensure he could land on the airstrip, but it was not fully extended by the time the aircraft touched down and the gear collapsed during the landing roll. Prior to the flight 50% of the length of the elevator trim tab Gurney flap had been removed to correct a perceived problem of limited forward elevator authority during cruise, and post-accident inspection revealed that the elevator cables had low tension. After repair the aircraft was test flown by the LAA’s Chief Test Pilot, who considered the design was acceptable without further change.

- You or your representative have the right to make informed decisions regarding your care, including being informed of your health status, involved in care planning and treatment, and being able to request or refuse treatment. This right must not be construed as a mechanism to demand the provision of treatment or services deemed medically unnecessary or inappropriate.

Questions about medical care at the end of life are of great concern today. The growing ability of medical technology to prolong life and highly publicized legal cases involving comatose patients whose families wanted to withdraw treatment have brought attention to this issue. Many people want to avoid extending personal and family suffering through artificial prolongation of life for those in a vegetative state with no hope of recovery. The best way for you to retain control in such a situation is to record your preferences for medical care in advance.
The patient self-Determination act of 1990 requires hospitals to inform patients about advance directives. advance directives are documents written in advance of serious illness that state your choices for health care, or name someone to make those choices, if you become unable to make decisions. Through advance directives such as living wills and durable powers of attorney for health care, you can make legally valid decisions about your future medical treatment.
For more information or to request living will and health care powerof attorney forms, contact our social services department at extension 3436.

Mercy Medical Center is committed to providing healthcare services to the community in an environment that is based on fair and ethical principles of service. policies and procedures addressing the hospital’s code of ethical business and professional behavior are available upon request. You may request those by calling extension 3411.
Mercy Medical Center does not discriminate, exclude, deny benefits to or otherwise discriminate against any person on the ground of race, color, or national origin, or on the basis of disability or age in admission to, participation in, or receipt of the services and benefits of any of its programs and activities or in employment therein, whether carried out by Mercy Medical Center directly or through a contractor or any other entity with whom Mercy Medical Center arranges to carry out its programs and activities.

My friend and I are planning a trip to Ireland for three weeks in July next year and I would really appreciate some feedback as to whether this itinerary is realistic and if we are seeing the best of Ireland by going to these places. We are too young to hire a car so will have to rely on bus services and trains. We are really trying to do the trip quite cheaply as are students and cannot afford expensive accommodation! We are also trying to have as much of an authentically Irish trip as possible and it is for this reason that we are not going around the Ring of Kerry, as is apparently very crowded with tourists at that time of year. We are not big on clubbing or nightlife, and would much rather see historical sites and scenery. Any suggestions or ideas are most welcome!!
Day 1 – Arrive in Dublin and spend three nights there
Day 4 – train to Kildare and then onto Kilkenny, where we will stay two nights
Day 6 – Travel to Cork and stay there for two nights – Also a day trip to Blarney Castle
Day 8 – Travel to Glengarriff. Stay one night
Day 9 – Depart Glengarriff by bike and go to Ardgroom/Allihies (stay 1 night)
Day 10 – Bike back to Glengarriff and stay one night
Day 11 – travel to Dingle stay three nights
Day 14 – travel to Limerick and stay two nights. While here, we would like to do a day trip to the Burren (Is this realistic?)
Day 16 – go to the Cliffs of Moher and then on to Galway – by looking at bus schedules, I think we would have four hours at the Cliffs. Is this enough time?? Stay Galway two nights
Day 18 – Travel Galway to Dublin (stay one night)
Day 19 – Travel to Belfast. We were hoping to go to Bru na Boinne on the way, but it says we would have to take a taxi from Bru na boinne to Drogheda, and then train from Drogheda to Belfast. I was wanting to know if taxi’s would do this trip, or whether they are more in the cities? Stay two nights Belfast.
Day 20 – we were hoping to be able to go to the Giant’s Causeway and the Carrick-a-rede bridge in one day. Again, is this realistic?? Would we be able to get a taxi from the Causeway to the Bridge?
Day 21 – fly out to Glasgow
Thank you very much in advance for your feedback!!

Tyga Is Looking To Change The Custody Agreement Over King Cairo After Blac Chyna's Arrest -- Deets HERE!
Do what's best for the kids!
A source close to the Rack City rapper revealed to TMZ that Cairo's dad is
To err is human, to forgive is divine.
Mother Ady Guzman-DeJesus tragically lost her 13-year old daughter Lourdes two years ago, after a classmate, Jordyn Howe (now 16) accidentally shot off his stepfather's gun while riding a school bus.
Ady not only forgave her daughter's killer, she also advocated a lighter sentence for Jordyn.
As part of the plea bargain, Jordyn pleaded guilty in exchange for one year in a juvenile detention facility, even though the judge had originally wanted a harsher sentence.
Jordyn was understandably remorseful as he hugged Ady in the courtroom:
"I'm just sorry for her loss and I apologize for doing what I did."
In addition to the year long sentence in a juvenile detention facility, Jordyn will also be touring the state of Florida with Ady to talk about the dangers of firearms.
Meanwhile, the judge, Miami-Dade Circuit's Ellen Sue Venzer was taken aback by Ady's moving gesture of compassion and forgiveness:
"In 20 years, I've watched human tragedy unfold in this courtroom. I could have never imagined a victim’s mother embracing her child’s killer."
In the end, Ady believed that this was what her daughter would have wanted:
"Justice is already done. I really do forgive him."
We're moved by her understanding. If the world had more people like Ady, it would be a better place!

By John Semmens – Semi-News — A Satirical Look at Recent News
On MSNBC’s TV news show Morning Joe, Lawrence O’Donnell, a self-described “practical European socialist,” observed that “e-mail system was set up obviously to defy the freedom of Information Act.” Co-Host, Mika Brzezinski agreed saying “this wasn’t honest.”
On the other hand, State Department spokeswoman Marie Harf attempted to rebuff criticism by repeating Clinton’s infamous “what difference does it make at this point?” remark the then Secretary of State made in her appearance before a Congressional committee investigating the murder of US Ambassador Chris Stevens in Libya in 2012. “Even if she did have classified information on this computer there is nothing we can do now to undo any damage that theoretically might have been done,” Harf declared. “So we might as well drop the issue.”
Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-Md) echoed Harf’s view calling House Committee on Benghazi Chairman Rep. Trey Gowdy’s (R-SC) efforts to subpoena Clinton’s emails “a witch hunt and an invasion of privacy. As I understand it, Secretary Clinton used this email for everything—including planning the wedding of her daughter. Exposing such private and intimate details of this great family’s personal lives repeats the wrongs done by Kenneth Starr’s prurient interest in former President Clinton’s sex life. Isn’t it time we ended the persecution?”
Cummings also warned that “prying into these emails could have a chilling effect on the Clinton Foundation’s fund-raising. A lot of those making million dollar donations would prefer that their identities remain concealed. They don’t want some nosy Republicans sniffing out their names. Fear that this could happen acts as a disincentive to other prospective donors and stunts the rewards the Clintons can reap from their public service.”
Complicating the issue is Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s 2011 directive forbidding Department employees from using their personal email systems for government business because “personal email is more vulnerable to being hacked by foreign adversaries.” US Ambassador to Kenya Scott Gration was removed from office by Ms. Clinton for violating this directive.
In related news, Rep. Cummings may face criminal charges for his role in urging and aiding the IRS to illegally discriminate against conservative organizations in 2012. An unapologetic Cummings defended his actions as “a demonstration of my loyalty to President Obama and my willingness to ‘go the extra mile’ to protect him from his enemies.” He also boasted that “GOP efforts to get me will come to nothing. The President will veto any prosecution and if that doesn’t work he’ll pardon me if I’m ever convicted of anything.”
Controversial Imam Hired by DOJ Bureau of Prisons
Fouad El Bayly, an Egyptian-born imam who in 2007 said that Somali-born activist Ayaan Hirsi Ali should be killed, has been hired by the Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons to teach classes and provide leadership and guidance to Muslims who are in federal prison.
Bureau of Prisons Director Charles Samuels, Jr. sees no problem with hiring El Bayly, “as I understand it, Hirsi Ali is an apostate. Under the tenets of Islam she should be put to death. That El Bayly has said so merely demonstrates his bonafides as a genuine Muslim scholar. If anything, this should vindicate our selection of him to preach to fellow Muslims residing in federal prisons.”
Hirsi Ali is not only an apostate from Islam, she also wrote the script for Dutch director Theo van Gogh’s documentary–Submission—which connected so-called random acts of violence committed by Muslims with passages from Islam’s holy scripture. Van Gogh was murdered in the street by a Muslim for “insulting Islam.”
“Barring a person from employment just because his religious beliefs contradict those with which Americans are more comfortable would be a violation of his Constitutional rights,” Samuels explained. “While our government may not yet be able to suppress anti-Muslim prejudices in the broader society, we can try to set an example by preventing these prejudices from interfering with how the government treats this besieged minority.”
Cruz Health Care Choice Act Labeled “Exercise in Futility”
This past week Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Tex) introduced his Health Care Choice Act. If enacted, this bill would repeal Obamacare’s insurance mandate and allow consumers to purchase a health insurance plan in any state. Cruz characterized his bill as “a true market-based reform that will make health insurance more personal and affordable, giving consumers the freedom to select plans that fit their needs from any vendor in America.”
Presidential Press Secretary Josh Earnest labeled the bill “an exercise in futility. We doubt he can get it past his own Party’s Congressional Leadership. The president is confident that either Senate Majority Leader McConnell or House Speaker Boehner will abort this baby before it sees the light of day. If by some freak circumstance they fail in their mission, the President will veto it.”
“The title of Cruz’s bill tells you everything you need to know about why it’s wrong for America,” Earnest continued. “Choice is not the answer to this country’s health care crisis. We had choice before the Affordable Care Act was passed. That system failed because too many people chose not to buy insurance. The ACA solved that problem by making insurance compulsory.”
“It is the President’s position that when people are allowed to choose they will not choose wisely,” Earnest said. “By relieving people from the burden of having to choose we are freeing them to devote their time and energy to more pleasurable pursuits. This new kind of freedom is the core goal of the President’s promised fundamental transformation of this country. He will not abide a turn backward toward out-dated concepts of freedom.”
Obama Unimpressed by Netanyahu Speech
While GOP members of Congress seemed mostly impressed by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s speech on dealing with Iran, President Obama was not.
“He didn’t say anything new,” Obama complained. “It was just the same old story about Jews being threatened with annihilation. Iranian officials may have said on several occasions that wiping Israel off the map was their goal, but I have a feeling that they’re just bluffing. Even if they aren’t I doubt that they could succeed where the much more powerful Nazi war machine did not.”
“And even if the Iranians did wipe Israel off the map this doesn’t mean all of its people would necessarily perish,” the president argued. “Death is only one of three possible fates that the Jews would face. They could continue to live under Muslim rule as Jews by submitting and paying the jizya. Or they could convert. If the Jews are exterminated it will be due to their stubbornness and arrogance in continuing to occupy Muslim lands.”
“From a broader perspective we should keep in mind the fact that Jews represent a very small portion of humanity—less than two-tenths of one percent, I think,” Obama added. “Even if every Jew were eliminated, natural growth of the global population would make up this loss in about two months. So, they’d scarcely be missed. In fact, the disappearance of this segment of humanity might usher in a more peaceful era. Other ancient peoples like the Hittites and Olmecs disappeared. Would it really be so bad if Jews also went extinct?”
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif) seconded the president’s sentiments pointing out that “there are ten times as many Iranians as there are Israelis. We shouldn’t get sucked into siding with the less populated and weaker nation. Surely the well-being of 77 million Iranians must take precedence over Israel’s six million Jews. Allowing Netanyahu to insult Iran from the podium in our Congress was a strategic mistake.”
IRS Insists Giving Tax Refunds to Illegal Aliens Is “the Least We Can Do”
The IRS has announced plans to follow up President Obama’s illegal grant of amnesty to persons in this country illegally with a program that will permit illegal aliens to receive tax refunds for taxes they never paid.
IRS Commissioner John Koskinen defended the move as “a necessary component of the President’s vision for America’s future. The vast majority of these immigrants are poor. They will need substantial help if the President’s dream of transforming our culture is to become a reality. Diverting some of America’s excess wealth to these people via tax refunds is one way of making this happen.”
Koskinen’s view was bolstered by President Obama’s speech celebrating the 50th anniversary of Martin Luther King’s Selma march. In the speech Obama said “giving amnestied illegal immigrants the same rights as citizens is a way of honoring Dr. King’s message of brotherhood and equality. President Lincoln freed the slaves from bondage, but a century of Jim Crow laws, discrimination and poverty continued to oppress African-Americans.”
“Let’s not make the same mistake today,” Obama said. “I have opened the door to freedom for Latin American people oppressed by corrupt governments south of our border. Let’s not make these liberated millions live in the shadows of second-class status for a hundred years. Let’s accelerate their integration into our society by giving them the sustenance they need and the full rights of citizenship so they can be active participants in selecting the rulers who will govern us all.”
“In light of the president’s recent remarks, I think everyone can agree that our plan to give them tax refunds is the least we can do,” Koskinen concluded.
In related news, the Government Accountability Office (GAO) reported that the federal government made nearly $125 billion in improper payments during fiscal year 2014. These are payments made for services not rendered, merchandise not received, and to recipients not eligible to receive the money. Nearly $18 billion in improper payments were made through the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC)–the very mechanism by which the IRS proposes to pay tax refunds to amnestied illegal aliens.

Social Distancing at the time of COVID-19 is probably a tough situation for teenagers especially now that we are on Unlock. Keeping them confined at home is a bigger task than the previous lockdowns. Following are some points to help parents of teenagers during this time;
- Explain the importance of social distancing – Teenagers tend to think that they are physically stronger and may even tell you about how this virus is not affecting their age group but older people. Keeping them away from their friends may affect them emotionally, however, it is crucial to explain it to them why social distancing is important. Reiterate the rules of social distancing stressing on correct hand washing, using masks and sanitising.
- Understand that this is hard for them – Teenage lives revolve around friends and not being able to meet them can be very stressful. Hear their frustration, validate their feelings, tell them you know how tough it is for them, and ask them how you both can work together to make this phase bearable. Encourage them to be creative about their interactions with their friends rather than trivialising their concerns is the right way to approach your teen.
- Loosen the grip a bit – Since most of the interaction will be based online, let them be on social media a little longer. HOWEVER, DO ENCOURAGE MEDIA BREAKS to ensure they lead a healthy life.
- Encourage online schooling – Most schools are now working virtually. It is natural for your teen to adapt to defiant behaviour due to unmet needs and anxiety stemming from uncertainty. Make sure to encourage them to take up classes online and be regular with their school work.
- Help them explore new things – Monotony and boredom are lethal. Suggest new activities like online Zumba, downloading a language app, gardening, painting, baking, and board games. It is also a good idea to sometimes join in with your teen.
- Balance family time vs alone time – Have realistic expectations about the time that will be spent as a family. Create a balance between family time and alone time for yourself and your teen. Having healthy boundaries and adequate time to unwind are the surest ways to avoid burnout.
- Do not start helicopter parenting – You will still be around but allow teens their time. Do not micromanage or be over bearing as parents. Understand that being held to unattainable standards, your teen may experience anxiety, and may go on to show anti-social behaviour to retaliate against authority. It is key to trust them.
- Do chores together – Involve them in some chores at home like setting the table, watering the plants, feeding the dog etc. This gives a sense of responsibility to your teen and makes them feel a valuable and a responsible member of the family. Additionally, it also has the benefit of brining you two closer.
- Encourage healthy habits – Set a sleep time, wake up time, meal times, and focus on eating healthy and working out daily to keep your teen healthy. This creates a little structure and will lead to less frictions. Also, having a consistent routine at such uncertain times can bring a sense of normalcy and expectancy to life.
- Understand their disappointment – Teenagers may worry about their future, exams, college applications, scholarships or their current circumstances. They may worry about their whole academic year or life at large. Hear them out, validate their emotions, express your confidence in their ability to bounce back. Never downsize the relevance of their concerns or attempt to compare them. Just listen and acknowledge.
- Practice mindfulness – Help them practice mindfulness techniques to keep them in tune with what they are feeling. Fighting emotions can be exhausting. Acknowledging and letting them flow may help them come to the question of ‘What to do now?’ sooner.
Remember, a NEW NORMAL needs to be created and these changes cannot be possibly enforced on your teen. Rather, sit down with them in a comfortable setup and calmly explain the relevance of adapting to these changes. Talk, encourage, validate, and inculcate awareness, responsibility, resilience, peace, solidarity and empathy in them.
Understand that your teen will learn more through your actions than your words. So, lead by setting an example. They will undeniably learn how to deal with difficult situations in their lives by remembering how you, the adults, behaved at this time.
