Floaters are shadows or dark objects that "float" across your field of vision. Floaters may appear as dark specks, strings, or cobwebs that float through the eye.
Many people begin to see floaters as they get older and their eyes age. If floaters have been present before, or if they occur with a diagnosed migraine headache, this condition is usually not serious. They are usually caused by tiny bits of solid tissue that collect in the thick fluid that fills the center of the eye (vitreous gel), blocking light to the retina.
Sudden development of floaters or black dots may mean that a retinal blood vessel has broken and is bleeding into the middle of the eye. This condition, called vitreous hemorrhage, results from the vitreous gel tugging on the retina. It may also be a sign of a serious retinal tear, which requires immediate medical attention.

An audio recording of former Rutgers assistant Eric Murdock obtained by The Chronicle of Higher Education shows Murdock fuming over the fact his contract was not renewed by the school last June—and providing a glimpse into why Murdock thinks that happened.
Murdock was a central player in Mike Rice’s physical and verbal abuse of players coming to light, as he provided tapes to ESPN about the abuse, The Star-Ledger reported. The video led to Rice being fired by the school this past April after the school had only decided to fine and suspend him when the allegations came to light in December.
In Murdock’s recorded remarks, which were primarily directed at Rutgers associate head coach David Cox, Murdock called Rice a slave driver. The most interesting comments come after the 6:00 mark. WARNING: The recording includes multiple profanities.
“Treating (expletive) like slaves, just cracking the whip? That’s all you’re doing is cracking the whip,” Murdock fumed on the recording. “And when the (expletive) can’t deliver, you cut off his toe like (expletive) Kunta Kinte.”
Murdock has a wrongful termination lawsuit that alleges he was fired for being a whistleblower, but he does not make a direct correlation to that on the tape. Rather, he said his contract was not renewed because he left a Rice-led basketball camp to speak at one his son was attending. That’s what the school maintains following its investigation of the incident, The Chronicle notes.
Meanwhile, Murdock’s $950,000 lawsuit is still ongoing. The New York Times reported earlier this year that the FBI was investigating Murdock for extortion, but the FBI would neither confirm nor deny that, according to the Chronicle.

I hope each of you had a great Easter Celebration! I have lots of things to show you...so be ready!
First a few of the house decorations, my table and the Easter Tree.
I love the tree, as I always get a branch from the yard and spray it red (the blood of Jesus), then the eggs go on, (the new life of a hatched egg), butterflies (for the change from old to new ...caterpillar to butterfly). My table this year was very simple and clean, but very springy :-)! Light blues and yellows mostly.
I created each of the kids and their guests Easter pails.
Each had their own name tags, candy bouquet style pails with candies each stuck up on sticks. Also the 3 tags were for my niece's baskets for my sister in law.
They matched the colors of their baskets. All in all I got a lot of crafting done of the weekend, and used my Cricut TONS! Which was lots of fun!

Jay Lingman has been found guilty of murdering Auckland man Denver Chance by shooting him in the head three times before using a chainsaw to fit the body into a chest freezer.
After deliberating for 24 hours the jury returned an unanimous verdict on Tuesday following a trial spanning almost three weeks in the High Court at Auckland.
Lingman denied murdering Chance, but he did plead guilty to three charges of possession of drugs, including cocaine and MDMA, for supply.
The Crown argued the Lingman shot Chance three times in the head from behind, before using a chainsaw to cut the body to fit it in a chest freezer.
The defence case was that both men were drug dealers, and Lingman was acting in self-defence after Chance threatened him with a shotgun over a perceived betrayal.
The verdict prompted a loud cry of "yeah" from one member of the public in court on Thursday, who was asked to control themselves by Justice Harland.
Denver Chance was last seen on February 24, 2019.
He told friends at his flat in Mairangi Bay that he was popping out and would be back soon, but his body was found two weeks later at a property in Kingseat, south of Auckland.
It was the Crown's case that Chance went to visit Lingman at his property for a pre-arranged meeting.
Crown prosecutor Gareth Kayes said Chance was standing at the front door to Lingman's house when Lingman shot him from behind after walking out a backdoor and around the side of the house.
Kayes said Lingman fired at least six bullets at Chance using a Ruger 10/22 .22 semi-automatic rifle fitted with a suppressor and three of these bullets hit his head.
Lingman then dragged the body from the front door down to a carport, Kayes said, before purchasing a chest freezer the next day.
He said Lingman used a chainsaw to fit the body in a freezer and left it there until police found it two weeks later.
The Crown said Lingman attempted to cover up the shooting by cleaning up the blood on the driveway and front steps using a water blaster and bleach, and buying a shipping container to hide Chance's distinctive red Nissan Skyline car in.
Meanwhile, the defence case was that the two men were drug dealers and Lingman shot Chance in self-defence following a perceived betrayal.
Defence lawyer Ron Mansfield told the jury there was no dispute that Lingman had shot a number of bullets at Chance, including the three that hit him in the head and killed him.
Mansfield said there was also no dispute that Lingman purchased a chest freezer and used a chainsaw to fit the body in it to cover up what happened.
"It was desperate and dire, and the scene displays that," Mansfield said.
Lingman gave evidence in his own defence during the trial.
He said Chance asked him if Chance could store a large quantity of MDMA and cocaine in his gun safe, located in his shed, while Chance went overseas.
He sold some of the drugs on tick - where a dealer gives product to a trusted customer before being paid later when the drugs had been sold by the middleman - while Chance was away.
Lingman said he intended to replace the drugs he took - but on February 24, 2019, Chance returned to his property unannounced to find his stash had been dipped into.
Lingman said he had been pressing MDMA pills that day and was not expecting Chance to visit.
He said he was in the kitchen getting a drink when he heard someone yell his name out.
Lingman said Chance was standing at the front door, angry and armed with a shotgun that he had taken from Lingman's shed after discovering his drugs were missing.
Lingman said he tried to placate Chance and lie to him that he had his money, but it did not work.
He told the court he went to his bedroom and armed himself with the Ruger rifle for self-defence before walking around the side of the house.
He saw Chance at the front door, where Chance swore at him and raised his shotgun.
Lingman said he then raised his gun, shut his eyes and shot a volley of about six shots.
"I didn't have a clue where [the bullets] were going," he said.
He said he wanted to incapacitate him so he would not be shot, as he did not expect to survive if Chance fired the shotgun.
"It would've taken my head off."
When asked by his defence lawyer about how he felt about shooting Chance, Lingman said "not very good".
"[There] were so many different emotions in my head. Fear, adrenaline still coming through me. [What] snapped me out of it was [thinking], 'what am I going to do'."
Jay Lingman was remanded in custody ahead of sentencing on June 11.

SIGNAL MOUNTAIN, Tenn. – Family members say Garrard ``Buster" Ramsey, the first coach of the Buffalo Bills, has died at the age of 87.
Nephew Knox Wagner Ramsey Jr. says the former All-American died Sunday from pneumonia at a Chattanooga-area retirement center where he had been living.
Ramsey played guard at the College of William and Mary, where he was named the school's first All-American. He was part of the Chicago Cardinals team that won the 1947 NFL Championship.
In 1959, he was named coach of the newly formed Bills team, where he was 11-16-1 in two seasons before being fired in 1962. He also held coaching positions with the Detroit Lions and Pittsburgh Steelers.

April 29th – May 5 is Vermont Restaurant Week! Restaurants all over the state offer lunch specials and prix-fixe dinner menus for $15, $25 or $35 per person. It’s a great opportunity to try new restaurants or restaurants that are normally in the (splurge/special occasion) bracket! To kick off restaurant week D and I decided to grab dinner at Miguel’s on Main, a small Mexican Restaurant & Cantina in Burlington.
When D and I arrived at Miguel’s it looked busy but we were seated promptly by the friendly (and fashionable) host who told us a server would be with us shortly. After 15 minutes of sitting at our table with no water and no waitress D called the host over. The host apologized, quickly brought us waters and promised to send our waitress right over. Five minutes later our waitress finally stopped by and with no mention of the wait we’d had asked if we wanted drinks. To be safe we gave her our entire order (drinks – dessert) and prayed that the first 20 minutes of service had just been a fluke.
More than a half hour after being seated our drinks and chips n’ salsa arrived.
The salsa was fresh and even though both D and I thought it could have used a bit more heat we enjoyed it all the same. D ordered a Corona and I decided to try their Ginger Fizz (brandy, ginger beer and lemon juice served over ice). It was delicious! Fizzy, sweet and perfectly strong (it helped take the edge off the service for sure).
D and I ordered off Miguel’s restaurant week menu To start I had the Ahi Tuna Ceviche with cucumber and chopped jalapeño. D opted for the Duck Confit Quesadilla, with dried cherries, green chiles and Monterey Jack.
Please note: at this point D was so hungry I didn’t dare ask him to wait while I photograph his quesadilla!
D’s quesadilla was excellent. The sweetness of the dried cherries worked well with the gameyness of the duck and the melted Monterey Jack cheese was a great finish. My ceviche was equally as tasty (though I was hoping for more of a bite from the jalapenos) the tuna was fresh and the marinade was light enough that the flavors could really shine through. After how wonderful our starters were D and I hopped that the negative aspects of our visit to Miguel’s were behind us, but we had no such luck.
Thirty minutes after our starter plates had been cleared we were still without our main course. The couples sitting on either side of us both commented on how slow/poor their service had been so while we didn’t take it personally we were obviously frustrated. Ten more minutes of waiting brought the host over to our table, he graciously offered to buy us a round of drinks and apologized for the wait.
Almost two hours after we were seated our main courses arrived My Alambres ala Mexicana, skewers of beef tenderloin, sweet peppers and shrimp served with rice and salsa tomatillo.
The rice, veggies, salsa and wrap were good but the tenderloin was tough and the shrimp was dry. I ended up picking at it and then turned the rest over to D who picked a bit more.
D’s Pollo Santa Fe was very good. The chicken was stuffed with a moist and very flavorful honey-pecan cornbread. After we’d eaten D’s meal and picked at mine we were tempted to ask for the check but we figured that we should stick it out till dessert.
Miguel’s Maple Flan & Dessert Nachos Since D and I were splitting the desserts I got to photograph both!
Not surprisingly dessert was the best part of the meal (and not just because we go to leave afterward either). The flan had a perfect texture and rich maple flavor. The flan was surrounded by a light and sweet sauce that D (Mr. Maple) declared to be golden grade b maple syrup. It was wonderful. The dessert nachos came with chocolate covered tortilla chips (that still had a great salty crunch despite the chocolaty coating) and a fresh strawberry and mango salsa. The fruit salsa tasted fresh and came topped with shredded basil that provided a nice complimentary flavor.
Overall I left disappointed, the food was good but wasn’t worth the wait and the service (with the exception of the host) was ok at best. Would I recommend Miguel’s for dinner, no, but if you’re in the neighborhood and looking to kill some time stop in and try it for yourself.

The North American International Auto Show in Detroit closed on Jan. 27, and after two weeks of previews and public days, organizers say it was a success.
Detroit's Cobo Center hosted 59 new-car reveals, 5,212 journalists from all over the world, 28,326 industry professionals and 748,809 public days visitors. It was the highest number of attendees since the 2004 show and brought an estimated $365 million to the Detroit area. The show also raised $3.9 million for children's charities during the annual Charity Preview black tie event.
"This was a true celebration of the automobile and a demonstration of the strength and resiliency of the auto business," show chairman Jim Seavitt said. "The Detroit show is a true reflection of a strong, vibrant and more confident industry. The manufacturers made it abundantly clear that this show, and the global stage it provides, is of critical importance to their vehicle launch strategies."
It was a great show. In case you missed them, take a look at our “Best-of”s from Detroit.
Next, we're gearing up for the Chicago Auto Show. The Chicago event opens to press on Feb. 7 and is known for being consumer friendly and having a strong focus on trucks. One we can't wait to see in Chicago is the next-generation Toyota Tundra.

Son of the Mask
Do you believe this is a REAL car? I didn't until I saw it in person! Designed by Fireball Tim and built by a special effects team for the movie Son of the Mask. It started as an Australian Holden, which is similar to a Pontiac GTO. It's powered by an LS1 engine, yes, it moves!!! The body has obvious modifications, including a crazy blower with a viscous mouth for an air intake. The interior was over glorified with gadgets and switches that would even make James Bond Jealous! It is loaded with many special effects, like flame throwers from the hood pipes and rear exhaust.
I chased this car for nearly 10 years trying to buy it for the museum just because of the coolness factor, its like an over-sized Hot Wheels car like I used to play with as a kid. In 2015 Warner Brothers finally decided to release the car and sell it to us.

|A new probabilistic approach is introduced for slope stability analysis including adverse impact of blasting vibrations. The material strength within a slope area is randomized in this bi-variate joint probability analysis. To be a completely general engineering method, the new probabilistic approach employs the random variable transformation technique; the Hermite model of the Gaussian transformation function, which transforms the experimental histogram of strength values to the standard Gaussian variables. Because bi-normal joint probability is analyzed on the true probability region projected on the Gaussian transformed variable plane, it is an exact solution of slope stability based on the available sample data. Details of the probabilistic approach are given through a case study on an iron ore mine. The case study demonstrated that the probabilistic approach is effective and simple enough to be a routine engineering practice for slope analysis.|

One thing that I was really impressed about with this book was the size. As of late, most collecting books go for the big coffee table hardcover style. While nice, those books take up a lot of space and make shipping expensive for overseas collectors wanting one. The coining the galaxy book takes a completely different approach, in that the book is small, but yet the information/pictures are still presented large enough that you aren’t trying to decipher postage stamp sized information. This makes shipping anywhere in the world affordable and makes it easy to carry around with you to conventions and such.
The book does a great job in giving some of the background information on the coins including, why Kenner was looking at adding such a premium to the Vintage Star Wars line and some of the various future concepts they were toying with. It also covers the production process and shows some examples of the artwork, sculpts, hard copies, soft copies (rubbers), etc that are used at the various stages in making a coin. I think this information is invaluable for someone getting into coins. The book also shows the the actual dies and backup hobbs that are used to punch the final coin into the coin blanks. It really give s a nice overview in how these coins were created.
Certainly, one of the major aspects of this book, is the fact that it introduces a new category system. The original system that collector Gus Lopez created, has served collectors well for many years. However, since the time of that writing some coins have switched a bit in scarcity and that guide lumped all prototype coins into the same category. His original systems was used with the numbers I-VI. To avoid confusion, the new system uses the letters A-H, with the last 3 letters, designated for prototype coins. Even though they are all certainly not common, there are some that are easier to find than others and that last letter are basically for prototype coins that are one of a kind. I’d like to see this new system posted online at some point as I think that is the only way for it to take off and replace the old one. I can even see some sellers users both during the interim of the switch. The book does a great job in laying out each individual coin and shows the category number in a small circle right next to it, so there is no confusion as to which category a coin should go in.
Overall, I think this book is a must have for anyone with even a small interest in the coin line. Even if you don’t collect the coins, it is a nice document of what Kenner did/had planned at the very end of the Star Wars toy line. At $20, the book is also very affordable especially when you consider that every page is in full color with a nice glossy finish.
The official website for the book is coiningagalaxy.com, but orders are not being taken there at this time. Right now James Gallo is taking orders directly:
Here is an update for unsigned copies only.
They are available now at the following cost per single book
Domestic US $27 shipped via priority mail
Overseas $39 shipped via priority mail flat rate mailer.
Please send payments to me at [email protected] and state in the title you are buying a book. The price would not change for US shipping it would be $20 each additional book, outside the US please contact me if you want more then 1 book.
There will be a limited signed and number book available at the end of the month.
Questions just LMK.
Get your copy before they are gone. I hope to have the coins on my site reorganized in the new categories some time soon and will post an update once I do.
Here’s a few pictures of the sample pages that have been posted online.

HARSENS ISLAND, Mich. (WXYZ) - With the deep freeze continuing for metro Detroit, many of the waters are getting covered with ice quickly, which can cause issues for the shipping channels to and from Detroit.
On Tuesday, one man caught the United States Coast Guard helping free a freighter that was stuck in the ice in the St. Clair River near Harsens Island.
Jim Stieber captured the photos above of the Norman McLeod, a tank barge, trapped in what appears to be thick ice.
His video shows the Coast Guard's ice cutter traveling down the river blasting up the chunks of ice and eventually getting the 400-foot freighter on its way.

Hi to everybody!
I bought the first seasons episodes in 2013 (and later all the other seminars…) but to be honest I never dig into the material, as the details explained by Troy were too many and I could not follow all the different aspects while playing… moreover I was into jazz improvisation studies and I was already working in mapping the geometries of scales, arpeggios and target notes and my brain buffer was already in overflow!
Now after 6 years, considering that my fluidity while playing still needs a lot of improvement and that it is more important to play well nice lines than being able to map all possible scale and arpeggios over the fretboard, I decided to dig the monumental work that Troy did regarding guitar technique.
I discovered I am an UWPS so to be able to play freely lines I should develop also the capability to play with DWPS.
I am actually working on the pick slanting primer intro clip that as far as I understood is an DWPS lick.
I can play it more or less well till 110 bpm, from 120 bpm on it get worse, sloppy and I miss notes. I’m trying to angle the pick in a DWPS way, mainly changing the orientation of my wrist and having my fingers touching the body and the higher strings of the guitar in opposition to my, more natural, UWPS position that has the thumb/palm resting on the upper part of the guitar.
I am studying also the videos about wrist and elbow but it needs quite a lot of time and I prefer to practice.
Do you have any suggestion in order to boost my improvements?
I know it takes time but I just want to make sure I am working in the right way…
Thank you all!

One of the features of this year’s healthcare wrangling has been Senators passing the buck to governors. Some have said that they base their support for repealing the Affordable Care Act on their home-state governor’s support. Some have withheld support based on the same thing.
Today, let’s remind Rob Portman that his home-state governor, John Kasich, is firmly against the Graham-Cassidy bill, and furthermore, that he is encouraging a bipartisan approach to shoring up the the ACA and improving healthcare for all Ohioans.
Once again, bipartisan governors have joined together to send a strong message: the only way forward on health care is if we work together. pic.twitter.com/9WuJkrKC3P

Sample Script: Hi, my name is [NAME] and I’m calling from [ADDRESS].
I would like to remind Senator Portman that our governor, John Kasich, has come out publicly against the Graham-Cassidy bill, and that both he and I support a bipartisan solution to the shortcomings of the Affordable Care Act. It was reported this week that Democrats came forward with several compromises in an effort to strengthen healthcare, but the GOP walked away from the table, focusing instead on passing Graham-Cassidy. I think this is wrong.
[Add any personal reasons you may have for supporting the ACA]
Please tell Sen. Portman to vote NO on Graham-Cassidy. Thank you.

We specialize in Vietnamese beef noodle soup, chicken noodle soup, Vietnamese crab noodle soup( bun rieu), spicy beef noodle soup (bun bo hue), barbecue pork over thin noodle (bun cha), stir fried noodle( Ap chao), barbecue pork chop over steam rice( com suon), and other dishes.
Came here during my lunch break during a work conference, and it’s the perfect place for a quick meal! Parking is a bit tough in the plaza, and it does get packed during peak lunch hours, but my party and I were sat immediately when we got there, and the service was quick and efficient.
I got the Pork Vermicelli bowl and my goodness, it was the biggest one I’ve ever had! The ones I usually get are much smaller than these, and the egg rolls are a lot smaller too. The egg rolls in this bowl were huge, which I’m not complaining about because I LOVE egg rolls. The pork was well marinated and full of flavor, and you can never go wrong with the fish sauce dressing! I was only able to eat half the bowl because it was just that big. The only thing I wish they did differently was slice the pork. They serve the pork as huge slices and don’t provide a knife to cut it with (which I could have asked for, but we were on a bit of a time crunch), which made it a bit hard to get the perfect bite with noodles, veggies, and pork.
I am so excited this place is so close to my new work place, and will definitely be a regular!
Very reasonable prices and very large portions. $10 for a “regular” that is a GIGANTIC bowl of noodles. The soup is super tasty!
It has more of a hole-in-the-wall vibe with slightly sticky tables/menus. It’s a huge restaurant, with tons of tables, but the tiny mall it’s in doesn’t have the most parking.
Such a staple in the rotation of restaurants that the bf and I like going to for reasons such as….
1. Food here is always good, or at least satisfying
2. It’s decently priced
4. There’s a great variety of food here
5. Fast service
The downside about this place could be….
1. It is CASH ONLY
3. It is loud, lol
4. Cleanliness – It’s okay…
Foodwise, they’re known for their pho whether it is beef or chicken, all the pho here is pretty good. After coming here for years and years, it is safe to say most things on the menu are pretty good. I don’t know a dish here where I would say to never get.
That being said, here are some favorites!
30. Bun Rieu (Crab Tomato Soup with Udon-like Noodles) – There is a strong tomato-y taste with lots of crab/pork pieces. LOL, it satisfies my craving for pasta strangely.
27. Vermicelli with BBQ pork and eggrolls. Loooove this dish. The bbq pork is just so juicy and soft and has great marination to it. The egg rolls here are my fave. They are so thick and stuffed with taro and shrimp. The vermicelli noodles are so soft, and goes well with everything.
2. The smaller version of number 1, which is a large Pho Dac Biet. Pho with all the cuts of meat! There soup usually goes from a range of “wow this is incredible” to “ok, this satisfies my craving.”
They do have appetizers as well! The spring rolls here are good, but you can’t really mess up spring rolls. The ingredients are fresh, and they are wrapped well without the wrap getting dried out.
I highly recommend their egg rolls. As I mentioned in the vermicelli dish, they are thicccc and they’re stuffed with shrimp and taro, and they taste so perfect with the nuoc mam.
This place is good for a quick satisfying meal. Cleanliness could better, and so could the service, but they’re both decent. Sometimes the waiters and waitresses will even smile at you…rare sighting, LOL, but overall the food here is good and so is the price.
Ate here a few times. It is busy during peak lunch and especially dinner times. We came here on Sunday around 4:30pm and there was no wait. Lots of tables for 2-4 people and a few for larger groups.
It is your normal Vietnamese food but the special grilled fish is what we order (pictures all over the wall). Says enough for 2 people but we stretched it out to 4 adults having 3 rolls each.
They give you lots of fish and greens… lettuce, basil, mint. I believe 8-10 wraps which is not enough for the dish so we ordered 5 wraps more for $1.
We enjoy this place because it is unique to dip your wrap in water and then wrap your own fish with noddles, greens, onions, and so on. Not sure really how to make the roll but wrapped it like a burrito. It can get messy but it’s so good!
The place is legit Vietnamese food.
We ordered pork chops, combo pho #1 and egg rolls. Food is super fresh, the price is right.
The service is good, too. Not rude.
Vietnamese coffee is already mixed and poured, so no dripping to watch at the table.
Love it! Everything was perfect.
Three years later and I can still say this is the best pho spot I’ve been to. It’s one of the few restaurants where I can say the food has been consistent. The service could use a little work but it’s not terrible.
More recently, we tried the Cha Ca La Vong which is basically spring rolls but with fish – enough for two people. I wish the fish sauce was a bit more savory versus the sweet kind because I think that’d taste better, but it’s still really tasty! There’s plenty of fish and veggies but I wish they provided more rice paper. If you need extra, they charge a dollar or two for more (which I think should be free).
If you’re in the mood for something warm and hearty, you can never go wrong with the #1 To Xe Lua, which is basically a combo of all the meats 🙂
Always make sure to have cash handy, but if not – there’s an ATM inside with a small withdrawal fee!
Honestly nothing can beat a hot bowl of tasty pho on a cold, rainy day. And where do you find pho with rich flavored stock, a huge portion of beef, and expertly cooked noodles? At Pho Kim Long of course!
When you show up, don’t be surprised if there’s a legit line. This is something you and the other waiting customers have to manage since there’s no list to take down your names. A waiter will look over and ask how many and if you’re in luck, there might be a table for you.
They’re super fast with everything – taking orders, bringing out food, and getting the check back to you. After our server took our order, I went to the bathroom to wash up. As I was getting back, our food was already at our table!
I ordered a #5 which is the pho tai (rare beef only). The regular suited me just fine and I remember thinking that it had a great ratio of soup/noodles/meat. I can never finish the noodles but this time I was able to even with the copious amounts of beef and soup. The soup broth is really good and the humble pho just shines here. The beef was all really tender and it was actual fillet mignon – no stringiness, no tendons, just pure beefy perfection.
I’ve been craving pho for a few weeks now, and this place hit the spot.
Service is pretty non-existent and rushed which really makes this place like 4.5 stars. It seems like they just want to serve you and get you out as soon as possible. But on the same note, you’ll get your food within a few minutes of ordering.
My boyfriend and I both got the #1 combination pho. I actually couldn’t finish my regular bowl because they give you so much of everything. So much meat, so many noodles and all the broth you’ll need. They have the best tendon. I typically give all my tripe and tendon to my boyfriend, but I hoarded my tendon to myself here.
I highly recommend this place if you’re craving a tasty bowl of pho. It won’t disappoint! Just make sure to bring cash!
Our first time here – never knew this was a popular place…but boy this place is so packed during the lunch hours. Phos are really good and of good portions, they came out really quick so I guess they keep some of their staple food ready most of the time. The only downside is that they don’t accept credit cards so it caught me off the guard a bit!
This is our pho spot, hands down! The broth is so consistent every single time. I always order #17 (Pho Ga) and my husband always get #1 which is the special pho with a ton of delicious meats. He always orders a large with extra filet mignon lol.
Pho Kim Long never fails us! We have never had a time where our food tasted different or bad. Their chicken in the pho is unbelievably soft and will literally fall apart in your mouth. Consistency is on point. The portions are gigantic so be careful when ordering a large! We’ve also tried their rice plates, vermicelli, egg rolls, and other things. They’re very good, too! But we always end up coming here for our pho cravings. The service is very quick, attentive, and you’re in and out in probably 20 mins. There was only one time 6pm on a Sunday where it took 45+ mins to get our food and drinks, but that was one out of the 50 times we have been here. That didn’t changed our minds about this place.
-Best pho in the Bay Area
-Good, consistent food
-Fast service and fast food
-In and out in a jiffy!

Yusif Abubakar, the former Aduana Stars coach, has died aged 60.
He passed away on Tuesday morning at the KNUST Hospital in Kumasi after a short illness.
A family source confirmed the news to Joy Sports and said Abubakar will be buried later in the day, per Islamic custom.
Abubakar, one of the finest tacticians on the local scene, managed Hearts of Oak, King Faisal, Heart of Lions, Berekum Chelsea, Techiman City, and Aduana Stars.
But he is best remembered for guiding Aduana Stars to their second Ghana Premier League title last year.
He also helped the Dormaa-based club reach the CAF Confederation Cup group stage for the first time in their history this year.
Abubakar was appointed head coach of the Ghana national U-23 team, Black Meteors, just last week.

Have you ever found an unspoiled beauty spot so special you want to keep quiet about it - so that it remains unspoiled - but because it's so lovely, you want to tell others so they may enjoy it too? I sometimes feel that dilemma: to share a favourite place on this website, or to leave it out? Here are my thoughts on when to publicise or keep it under my hat.
It’s a dilemma especially pertinent to the Internet age. In the past your words may have reached only those you spoke to directly. Nowadays we can write about somewhere on a blog, website or social media and have a far greater audience. With fewer and fewer quiet places slipping under the radar, it is even more important to guard the obscurity of those which remain.
On the other hand, almost nowhere is truly secret or undiscovered any more, so is it too late to even be worrying about spreading the word?
When I'm debating whether to write about a special place on this website, I ask myself these questions.
A quick Internet search gives an idea of how much has already been published online about a place. But don't forget other sources like travel books and the tourist literature found in accommodation and visitor centres. I also consider how "discoverable" any information is - do you need to specifically search for it, or is a casual reader likely to just come across it without searching?
Take Misery Beach, for example - a beautiful quiet beach near Albany in Western Australia. When I first found it by accident in the 1980s it was not signposted, and I couldn't find anything written about it. Two locals on the beach told me the signposting was often removed to deter visitors. To preserve the obscurity I enjoyed the beach but didn't tell others.
Twenty years later the beach is well signposted. It's in the tourist brochures, referred to online, gets a mention in the Lonely Planet guide, and is clearly marked on the maps given to visitors. Word is clearly out now, so when I began this website I felt no hesitation in writing about it.
In other words, if a place is already common knowledge - and especially if it is already being promoted to visitors - there may be no point in keeping quiet about it.
If publicising a "hidden gem" could contribute even slightly to more people visiting, then the views of the locals should also be considered. Do the people who live in the area want the business opportunities that more tourists can bring? Or do they like things just as they are, and prefer the crowds to stay away?
I explored this question with some of the residents of Flinders Island. The island has a special charm that I would hate to see spoiled by over-development, yet I liked it so much I wanted to encourage like-minded travellers to visit. What did the locals think?
It was by no means a thorough survey, but the impression I got from those I talked to was that they would like to see more visitors, up to a point. Many of those living on the island depend on tourism for all or some of their income, or benefit from the economic wellbeing of other islanders who do. Visitor numbers have sustained an increase in the frequency of flights to the island, which benefits the community in general.
The locals are well aware of how special their home is, and would resist excessive change. Therefore when I returned home I felt no hesitation in writing about Flinders Island here.
Anyway, there are other factors limiting the flow of visitors to the island, which relates to another question I ask ...
Just because a treasured beauty spot becomes more widely known, it doesn't necessarily follow that visitor numbers will increase greatly. There might be barriers to tourism such as the difficulty or cost of getting there, a lack of other nearby attractions to justify the effort, or natural filters such as limited access.
In the example of Flinders Island, the small number of aircraft seats flying there put a cap on the visitor numbers. Even if that we're to change, the cost of getting there, living there, and the relative lack of attractions and facilities geared to mass tourism mean it will probably never get too crowded ... even with much more publicity.
Publicising hidden places which are easily accessed and close to well-trodden tourist trails could put its "hiddenness" at risk. But if other factors are keeping the crowds away, then telling others is less of an issue.
Some of my favourite places to visit are out in the natural world ... beaches, waterfalls, lakes, forests, mountains. If there is a well formed trail and some basic facilities such as a parking area or toilets, and a few more visitors are unlikely to have any impact, there may be no reason to not tell others about it.
On the other hand, I may keep quiet if a place could be harmed by an increase in footprints. This might include delicate off-track alpine areas, or out of the way spots where nesting areas or rare plants might easily be trampled to death. Such places are probably not secret (if they were, I wouldn't have found them), but I would avoid promoting them as a matter of principle.
Similarly, if I stumbled across a place of special cultural significance which wasn't advertised or signposted, I might keep it to myself. An example might be a rock art or cave painting site which is important to Aboriginal people for cultural or spiritual reasons. I've not yet come across such a place which wasn't already public knowledge, but it's something I would consider if I did.
The other thing I consider is whether my words about a place will actually make any difference in the big picture. Would it actually lead to someone visiting a place which they might not have visited had they not read about it from me? Will what I write even be read by many people at all?
This is where platform, audience and subject come into play. An article in a newspaper, magazine, or travel guide could reach a large audience and play a role in making a place more popular. Especially if that place has broad general appeal. In these situations the question of whether an obscure place should be thrust into the limelight carries more importance.
On the other hand, writing about quiet places or off-season travel on a niche website like mine will reach a much smaller audience and have less effect on visitor numbers, if any. My writings will probably only be found by people searching for the sort of places I write about ... and if they are searching, they'll find these places written about elsewhere too. And in their travels they might find these places for themselves anyway. As I did.
That's what I chew over if I find an unspoiled beauty spot that I'm hesitant to publicise. In reality it is rarely an issue. Phrases like "best kept secret" and "places only the locals know about" are just marketing propaganda of the tourism industry: few places are truly secret or hidden any more.
The scenic delights I like to write about tend to be mostly quiet, a bit out of the way, or just under-appreciated. But they are already public knowledge; findable by others whether I write about them or not. So I write about them.
There could of course be a few special places which I prefer to leave other people to find for themselves, as I did ... but I wouldn't be mentioning them here, would I?

Poe: LRT should improve train services first before any fare increase
MANILA, Philippines — Senator Grace Poe on Monday slammed the fare hike for Light Rail Transit Lines 1 and 2 (LRT-1, LRT-2), saying that it should first improve its train services before implementing any fare increase.
“Improvement in train services and facilities should come before any fare increase, not the other way around,” said Poe in a statement.
“Any fare hike is a pain in the pocket, especially to our students and workers who live on a shoestring budget and rely on the cheaper mass transportation,” she added.
Poe expected LRT-1, a private firm, to invest in a better train system.
“Kung maganda ang serbisyo, dadami ang pasahero. Nararapat lang na maramdaman nila ang ligtas, komportable at modernong train system sa bawat biyahe,” Poe said.
(If the service is good, there will be more passengers. It is only fitting that they feel safe, comfortable, and modern train system on every trip.)
Senator Grace Poe noted that the government was spending billions subsidizing LRT-2 but questioned its value to riders. The Senate will review these subsidies during the 2024 budget debate to ensure commuters get their money’s worth.
She was dismayed after the Department of Transportation earlier announced that LRT Lines 1 and 2 will implement a fare increase effective August 2, bringing its minimum boarding fee P13.29 (originally P11), 1.21 per kilometer for every kilometer traveled (originally P1 per kilometer).

There’s been a lot of press recently about investors suddenly waking up after four years of strong market gains and deciding to take their money out of “safe” fixed income investments and put it into stocks.
What’s implied in many of these articles is that this flow is what’s putting the recent zip into the S&P 500. What’s also implied, and sometimes stated, is that this is the “dumb money” whose arrival on stage is a signal that we’re entering the closing act of the current bull market.
Both implications might have some truth to them. But neither is anything like the full story. Most people are a lot smarter than that. Money flows are a lot more complex.
This is what I see:
1. Any money going into stock market mutual funds or ETFs is not coming out of bonds. Bond funds have had large inflows every month since January 2009, except for tiny outflows in December 2010 and August 2011.
Money coming into bond mutual funds accelerated in 2012, to around $25 billion a month, according to the Investment Company Institute, the mutual fund trade organization.
2. Bond inflows have been matched by steady though smaller, outflows from stock mutual funds. The lost stock mutual fund money may be feeding part of the bond buying binge. But there are also two important trends within the equity world.
–There’s a big multi-year shift away from actively managed equity mutual funds toward index ETFs. Two reasons: better performance, and lower costs. ETF flows are clearly much healthier than equity mutual funds’.
–Virtually all the net equity mutual fund outflows have been coming from US-only funds. Global, international and emerging market mutual funds have been at least treading water. Similar ETFs are seeing large inflows. Again, this has been happening for years.
3. So far in 2013 over $60 billion in net new money has come into equity mutual funds, breaking an almost two-year stretch of outflows. Two-thirds of that has gone, as usual, into global etc. funds.
Much more interesting, to my mind, but almost completely unnoticed, is the HUGE outflow of over $112 billion from equity funds that occurred last year, from August through December.
Why this rush to the door? My guess is that this is the final shoe dropping from the stock market collapse of the Great Recession. In my experience, some investors will panic and sell at the bottom. Others will nurse their wounds and refuse to sell until they get back to breakeven. Then nothing on heaven or earth can persuade them not to take their money and run. I’ve turned around two woefully underperforming global funds for two different organizations. In both cases, this sort of almost inexplicable outflow was the last step in the healing process.
If that’s what happened during the second half of 2012, it’s a significant bullish sign for stocks.


Main Article Content
In this paper we mainly focus on credit card fraud detection in real world. Here the credit card fraud
detection is based on fraudulent transactions. Generally, credit card fraud activities can happen in both
online and offline. But in today's world online fraud transaction activities are increasing day by day.
So,to find the online fraud transactions various methods have been used in existing system. In
proposed system we use random forest algorithm(RFA) for finding the fraudulent transactions and the
accuracy of those transactions. This algorithm is based on supervised learning algorithm where it uses
decision trees for classification of the dataset. After classification of dataset a confusion matrix is
obtained. The performance of RFA is evaluated based on the confusion matrix.

Published at Thursday, November 21st, 2019 - 07:13:05 AM. Bedding. By Karine Crozier.
Adjustable beds are made in two styles: standard or heavy-duty. Adjustable beds are comprised of two main components: the base and the mattress. There are several features to be considered while buying an adjustable bed: the size of the mattress (twin, queen, king or full) and the type of mattress (foam, latex, coil spring or air). Ordinary mattresses cannot be used on adjustable beds. The mattresses for adjustable beds are also specially designed to suit the human body. This helps to relieve strain on certain parts of the body and proper spinal alignment. They are also provided with adjustable rails on either side.
There are several health benefits from adjustable beds. Adjustable beds ease swelling of the legs or edema and ease back pain. They relieve soreness of the body and sooth next and shoulder tension. They also offset acid reflux and nighttime heartburn. They provide relief for certain parts of the body such as the neck, the spine and the knees. Adjustable beds are especially useful for people who have degenerative spondylolisthesis, osteoarthritis, spinal stenosis, asthma, phlebitis, varicose veins, back pain or neck pain. They are also ideal for people who have just undergone surgery. Adjustable beds also make it easier to get in and out of bed; relieve the heart muscle to make breathing easier; soothe stomach muscles and aid in proper digestion; and are also ideal for passive back stretching, etc. Some adjustable beds also have built-in massaging motors in the automatic as well as manual modes.

INTROSPASTIC: From the Blackened Beyond
Book, 19.8 x 12.8 cm, 235 p, language : English, publisher : White Cube/Murray & Sorrell FUEL, London, ISBN : 9780956896216.
Materials: Ink, paper
Collection: Collection M HKA, Antwerp (Inv. no. B 2026/274).
In his third novel, Jake Chapman returns to the parochial world of Chlamydia Love, the contagiously popular heroine from his first novel The Marriage of Reason & Squalor. Charged by The Someday Times to establish the truth about the rumoured rift between the Chapman brothers, she ventures deep into the hollow heart of the Cotswolds to interrogate the taller one, inadvertently revealing less than she intended. Jake Chapmans latest novel has it all: love, loss, introspective nihilism plus breakdancing squirrels. Any reader seeking true insight into the fraternal bond at the heart of the Chapmans misunderstood work will find this book a massively insincere obstacle.
Relation of the novel to the artist’s practice
Illustrated with works from his solo exhibition (Jake or Dinos Chapman, White Cube Mason’s Yard & Hoxton Square, London), the book explores the value and meaning of art, laying bare the inner turmoil that ensues when an artist is required to work all by himself.

When it comes to your health, nothing can beat the usefulness of healthy food and you should know it. After all, how else will you get your health back without consuming healthy food? You need to get a few things in mind so that you don’t end up committing any mistakes. It is all about consuming healthy food but how will you get your hands on one? Well, you can always look at healthy food delivery in Abu Dhabi and have them deliver you the food you wanted to have. There are several food delivery companies operating in UAE. Most of these companies are registered and have great credentials to begin with. You can always try them and check if the food they offer is up to the mark or not. With that in mind, you should also think about keeping backup options around that will help you find and order the safest food available in the market. So, what will happen when you end up ordering healthy food online? Well, it is the easiest way to order it as it will consume very little time. You simply have to explore the websites that have been providing such facilities and choose the one that may be offering the best food items online.
Taste when it matters
Truth to be told, you will likely get quality food when you end up ordering online. In order to order the best food online, you may have to look for items that may fulfill a particular criterion. The first thing to look for is the taste – if the food you order lacks in taste, there is no point in ordering it. Make sure the food you order doesn’t lack in taste and is neither too rich in spices. Doing so will likely find the food supplier that may help provide you items that contain just enough amount of spices that make them have the right taste for you.
The beauty of having so many online food suppliers around is that you can place the order and have them supply you with raw food items too. All you need is to cook them in the right way. Tasty dishes prepared from raw food items will help your restaurant earn great reputation in little time. Also, the calorie count can be mentioned on the dish which will help your customers know how much calories the food item contains.

I shouldn't have to state the obvious, but men on this website who are hoping to date might want to rein back on the attacks and trolling every time a woman says anything they disagree with.
Few women want to date a man who insults and denies everything she says.
In my case, I just block them and get rid of them, but perhaps they should consider their ways.
Unfortunately it seems that having a rational mind doesn't mean men aren't also going to be misogynistic. I was a member of a very large (like 50k members) atheist Facebook group and got kicked out for pointing out some blatant misogyny. Well, not a great loss for me but still very disappointing.
I 100% agree - and have had only a few interactions like this here personally but have witnessed way too many. I agree with some of the comments here and on other threads that suggest that the internet has emboldened people (mostly men, it appears from my unscientific and anecdotal evidence) to hide behind their screens and let their inner incels out to play. This is so horribly damaging to all, but sadly, I am not surprised anymore.
Having said that - I have met more wonderful people here, and more wonderful gentlemen, who are here to have good conversations and community (dating aside). So - here's to the exceptional people out there!! Wonderful Men - we know who you are. Thank you.
As an over-65, this phenomenon is so common.....i Treasure the 3 or 4 guys who may not agree with me politically, for example, but refrain from putting me down as a "dumb woman"....one is so rabidly drumpy we avoid the subject altogether, but what attracted me deeply was his willingness to talk to me as if I were his equal.....so rare!
Kindness kindness kindness ... I strive for this daily, I fail at it on occasion and I succeed at it often. If I were here to date I would be no different than you see me now. I think you give good food for thought, we should all pause and reflect on how we are being and how we can be better. I will make an effort to pause and breath before I respond and perhaps this will encourage others to do the same. If our intention is to be a community let’s be a community to be proud of.
I can understand why you would be offended by misogynistic comments, any attack rooted in sexism is a nonstarter as far as I'm concerned but isn't it also helpful to have those people self identify for you. No point in wasting the cost of a cup of coffee on a date with someone you wouldn't cross the street to say hello to, is there?
My wife and I don't agree on everything (thank goodness - how boring would that be) but our discourse is always respectful of each other, no matter what the topic. We would never seek to muzzle each others opinion as it defeats the whole purpose and undermines being in an open and trusting relationship.
Many of these folks are not looking for dates or even friendship; they are looking for attention and judging from the many replies on this thread, they seem to be getting it. These are not men; these are four-year old boys masquerading as men. Too old and fat to tip over the TV or set fire to the cat, they come to sites like this safely to create as much outrage and havoc as they can. I guess it's better than being ignored.
After reading through the comments here, I noted a few particularly foul things (and the people who said them), and immediately added those folks to the block list.
I will never understand why some people (men or women) behave with such utter disdain for the rest of humanity.
I'm not sure whether it's because it's clear that I'm not here for dating, but I haven't come across anyone who's had the temerity to insult me based solely on my gender.
I've only had one person message me to blatantly seek a liaison. Though he didn't resort to insults when I turned him down. He was actually quite polite about it.
Sure, I've been insulted by those (male and female) who have taken umbrage to some of my positions (usually political), but no one has gone after me just because I'm a woman.
I truly hope that doesn't change. I think just about all the men I've interacted with here are pretty freakin' awesome individuals.
I follow your lead...putting down others ideas, regardless of how trivial says to me, that all ideas must meet some (unknown) expectation by the reader! It has been my experience that even the most illiterate person has something of value to offer!

Virtual reality (VR) is a three-dimensional artificial environment that allows a person to interactively explore while using electronic equipment like a wraparound helmet or wearable computers. Also called computer-simulated reality or immersive media, it creates a sensory experience using sight, touch, sound and/or smell.
Virtual reality is generally used to simulate real environments for education and training purposes like flight simulators, or interactive game development and imagined environments for gaming. However, its potential far exceeds current applications.
Over the past two years, VR has grown in popularity, especially with regards to mobile. In 2014, Google launched its Cardboard viewer, which allows users to experience virtual reality through mobile apps. Currently, Google has plans to release its more advanced mobile VR platform this fall, called Daydream.
Also in 2014, Facebook acquired the VR technology Oculus Rift. Since then, Samsung has ventured into mobile VR with their Gear VR headset. Gear VR is powered by Oculus, and allows Samsung GALAXY users to venture into their own virtual worlds.
The Oculus Rift is scheduled to begin shipping out to gamers in August of this year.
Understanding what virtual reality is and its implications are critical to understanding the future of mobile, entertainment, and the changes to come in marketing and eCommerce. As proof, eBay just launched a virtual reality shop and is currently testing it out in Australia. The shop can be accessed through Samsung Gear VR and Google Cardboard.

Every year, on 28 July, the World Health Organization (WHO) and partners mark World Hepatitis Day (WHD) to increase awareness and understanding of viral hepatitis and the diseases it causes. WHD unites patient organisations, governments, medical professionals, civil society, industry and the general public to boost the global profile of viral hepatitis.
EMCDDA Director Alexis Goosdeel says: ‘The prevalence of antibodies to the hepatitis C virus commonly ranges between 40% and 80% in national samples of injecting drug users in the EU Member States. People who inject drugs frequently accumulate risks, which can increase the likelihood of developing liver‑related problems. Although there are effective treatments available to cure HCV infection, these therapeutic options do not cover enough injecting drug users in Europe. Testing is also insufficient and many remain undiagnosed. The EMCDDA, through its new Strategy 2025, is committed to contributing to a healthier Europe by acting as a catalyst for improving the quality and delivery of responses to reduce the health and social consequences of drug use.’

The New York State Gaming Commission has put together a proposed rule it hopes will add scrutiny to the practices of racetrack veterinarians.
The proposal would require vets to limit drug administrations to treatment of ailments and preventative medical procedures. The rule was outlined last week by NYSGC equine medical director Dr Scott Palmer and general counsel Rick Goodell.
The new rule will now go through a period of public comment. “At this point we’re passing this around for input,” said Palmer. “This is not just a New York problem.
“No drug may be administered except to provide a generally accepted treatment for a diagnosed medical disorder or as a generally accepted preventative medical procedure. No drug may be administered without a veterinarian having examined the horse and provided a treatment recommendation.
“We’ve removed the license of vets to practice at our racetracks and they simply continue to practice off the racetrack and there’s nothing we can do about that,” Palmer said. “This rule would give us the opportunity to hold a vet accountable no matter where they’re practicing in the state.”
Palmer noted racetrack veterinarians, in a competitive atmosphere, can be pressured by trainers who request treatments that go beyond treating ailments or preventative medical procedures.
“There is a tendency on the backstretch for some trainers to influence the practice of veterinary medicine,” Palmer said. “I was a practitioner. I practiced 15 years on a racetrack. If a trainer has five horses with me and wants me to do something I’m not comfortable with, I might tell them I’m not comfortable with that and they may say, ‘See you later.’
“If that trainer has 150 horses, then that’s a real problem for a vet who doesn’t want to lose that valuable client. If we can introduce the concept that a veterinarian is held accountable for his license for some period of time, that’s going to be a game-changer in terms of that conversation with the trainer. No vet is going to take the risk of losing their license, or at least they’d be less likely to.”
Palmer said he believes the rule would help regulators address medication issues on the front end.
“There is a need to address up front the inappropriate administration of medication to horses,” Palmer said. “So many times we’re playing catch-up with drug tests and even following up with new rules.”
Goodell noted that the rule came out of the investigation of the Steve Asmussen stable, which followed accusations of horse abuse from the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals. Goodell said the investigation showed that the Asmussen horses were treated very well, but the NYSGC wanted to address public concerns about the over-medication of horses.
Goodell said the rule includes protections for vets and trainers who would have the opportunity to show administration of a medication was done in good faith to treat a medical condition.

Sheffield Cathedral to host festive light show ‘The Beginning’
For Sheffield Cathedral there’s no better place to start Christmas celebrations than at The Beginning, the Cathedral’s Christmas lights spectacular which returns to Sheffield this year for six nights. The Beginning opens on Tuesday 30 November and runs through to Sunday 5 December.
In December 2019 the Cathedral hosted its first ever light show ‘The Angels are Coming’. The event was a huge success with nearly 12,000 people enjoying the show.
“The Angels are Coming was evocative, spine-tingling and just wonderful. And to have the rest of the building lit only by candlelight was inspired. I don’t think I have ever seen the Cathedral look so beautiful,” one visitor said.
After this sensational debut, the Cathedral’s light show comes back after being postponed last year because of the COVID pandemic. This year visitors will be captivated by awe-inspiring illuminations projected across the exterior facade of the Cathedral which will include the telling of the Nativity story. Then come inside and be entranced by an immersive multi-sensory experience with music and lights inspired by the cathedral’s stained-glass windows and enjoy more than 30 beautifully decorated Christmas trees.
“The celebration of the birth of Christ signifies new hope,” says The Reverend Canon Keith Farrow, Vice Dean and Canon Missioner of Sheffield Cathedral. “The Beginning represents this in so many ways. It is the beginning of Advent and the anticipation of Christmas at the Cathedral and we want to share the hope and joy of the Christmas story with everyone. Everyone is welcome to start their Christmas celebrations with us.”
Sheffield Cathedral is once again collaborating with award-winning Luxmuralis to bring ‘The Beginning’ to Sheffield. Artistic Director Peter Walker says: “We are delighted to be able to return to Sheffield and present this newly adapted work. The people are fantastic and we know the city comes alive at Christmas. We are looking forward to working with the Cathedral again and everyone enjoying the uplifting light show and beautiful music.”
Tickets for The Beginning are on sale online at this link, or in person from the Cathedral Gift Shop. Adults: £7.50 Children aged 3-15 (under 3s free): £6 Carers: £3 (contact Sheffield Cathedral to purchase)
For all the more information about events at Sheffield Cathedral this Christmas including carol concerts and services visit the Cathedral’s website.

TRUMP WARNS JAMES COMEY: “better hope that there are no “tapes” of our conversations before he starts leaking to the press!”
LOL! Donald Trump sure knows how to trigger the media and the Democrat Party into unhinged liberal meltdown. The President tweeted today: “James Comey better hope that there are no “tapes” of our conversations before he starts leaking to the press!”
And now the Democrats demand that Trump release the Trump-Comey tapes. Trump is learning how they play the game in Washington D.C. and he knows the media is the number one saboteur the Democrat Party uses in order to destroy and undermine the president at every turn.
Top House Democrats demanded the President turn over the tapes.
Today, after President Donald Trump tweeted “better hope that there are no ‘tapes’ of our conversations before he starts leaking to the press!” Rep. John Conyers, Jr., the Ranking Member of the House Committee on the Judiciary and Rep. Elijah E. Cummings, the Ranking Member of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, sent a letter to White House Counsel Donald F. McGahn II to request copies of all recordings in possession of the White House regarding this matter.
In their letter, the Members also requested, “…all documents, memoranda, analyses, emails, and other communications relating to the President’s decision to dismiss Director Comey—a decision which the President declared yesterday he planned to make “regardless of [the Deputy Attorney General’s] recommendation”—and all discussions with Director Comey.”
