Alec Baldwin returned to Saturday Night Live to once again give a speech during the cold open. This time, he mocked Trump's recent tax cut speech in Pennsylvania, and Mike Pence's PR stunt at the Indianapolis Colts game last week.
Baldwin's Trump began by addressing the Pennsylvania truckers and mispronouncing Harrisburg. "We have so much in common, and not just because all the blood in our bodies pools in our legs and our butts."
He then called Pence at the Colts game to see how the NFL players were treating the flag. When one appeared to kneel, Baldwin shouted, "Get out there! Mike, bail! Haul ass, Mike!" This was a running gag throughout the cold open as Trump checked back in with Pence to find him at a Starbucks that wasn't serving Christmas cups, and, for some reason, a gay wedding.
Trump also reacted to Eminem's BET Awards freestyle cypher calling out the president for racial divisiveness. "He rapped some very nasty things about me," Baldwin said, "and very soon, I'm going to release a response rap on the white entertainment network, HGTV."
This was a pretty weak sketch for Baldwin's Trump as the impression is now relying on sight gags and tired jokes. He is now becoming overused and underwritten, while other political figures continue to get more imaginative parodies. Ah well, they can't all be Kate McKinnon.

Did you know that Puig i Cadafalch had a great political personality? Not only because of his well-known Catalanism, but also on a local scale. The well-known modernist architect was an active figure in the politics of his time, we will show you why and how.
The start
From a young age, Puig i Cadafalch was opposed to the unifying design standards of the Eixample in Barcelona and showed it in many different ways:
One of them, and perhaps the most noticeable, was the construction of some of his striking buildings, which stand out with the uniformity of their surroundings. An example of this could perfectly be the monumental Casa de les Punxes.
Another way, no less important at the time, was his articles around 1900 in the prolific Catalan newspaper La Veu de Catalunya, where he expressed his discontent with the measures approved by the local government.
Because of this discontent and other personal motivations, the young Puig i Cadafalch decided to become an active part of the politics around him. In 1901, he became councillor in Barcelona City Council, coinciding with his publications in La Veu de Catalunya and the construction of his great work: the Casa de les Punxes.
Spanish Politics
Puig i Cadafalch was not enough content with his participation in municipal politics, so he went further. In 1907, Puig i Cadafalch began his activity as a parliamentarian in Madrid of Solidaritat Catalana, a unitary movement made up of groups and parties from Catalonia that existed between 1906 and 1909.
It was not until 1913 that Puig i Cadafalch's political life took a broader and more transcendental direction. In that year, he became a representative of the Catalanist formation Lliga Regionalista and a firm defender of the Mancomunitat de Catalunya, still in formation.
The Catalan Mancomunitat
The Mancomunitat was a Catalan institution that existed between 1914 and 1925 to which the four councils of Catalonia ceded their powers. Among other achievements, this organism managed to elaborate the well-known Project Of Statute Of Autonomy Of Catalonia (1919). In 1917, Puig i Cadafalch became a member of the Consell Permanent de la Diputació. That same year, after the death of Prat de la Riba, he became president of the Consell de la Mancomunitat until 1924. The division and erosion of Catalanist parties in conflict with the interests of the Spanish government, as well as the dissolution of the Mancomunitat by Primo de Rivera in 1925, marked the decline of the political activity of the great modernist architect. Although he kept his militancy in the Regionalist League, he participated in a more reduced and discreet way.
Puig i Cadafalch, in short, realised that with his work as an architect and historian alone, he would not have enough to transform his surroundings and therefore took an active part in the politics of his time, transgressing not only his facet as an architect and historian, but complementing these with his political aspirations.

Sometimes, we look at things the wrong way.
Sometimes, we see the world through eyes that are weary from sadness, anger or fear.
Sometimes, we see only through our own past and our limited view and prejudices.
And then, sometimes, we remember –
there is a way to see the world and yourself with Joy.
There is a way to see others as teachers and to perceive them with great compassion.
It's not always easy and takes great courage, but it is worth it because you are worth it.
Sometimes it begins when we laugh at ourselves and take off the terrible fetters of self consciousness and judgement. Then we see ourselves and others through the eyes of compassion which always leads to JOY.
This is my wish for you today; that you find a reason to laugh and to be at peace and ENJOY your life. Then, go back out into your life and bring that JOY to others, just by your own presence. This is my wish for you and for all beings.
Always and in all ways.

My Daily Diaries
Posted By Author on August 18, 2009
I have already mentioned earlier as to how my maternal great grandfather inspired me to maintain daily diaries since 1956. The entries in the diaries are in mixed languages, viz., English and vernacular Marathi. Some entries are cryptic and they are properly elaborated here. There are some dictations from Netaji in Hindi and Sanskrit.
The diaries contain valuable evidence of Subhash Chandra Bose's survival after a fake death in an air crash at Taihoku, Formosa, on August 18th, 1945. When he came to know about my regular habit of writing a daily diary, he purposely left important discussions and dictations on various topics. Certain too personal matter is deleted. I feel its revelation amounts to breach of trust. How far it is moral to unravel Nehru's private life by his personal secretary Mathai or of Mao Zedong (Mao Tse-tung) by his personal physician for twenty-one years, Dr.Li Zhisui; or J.Krishnamurthi's by Mehta sisters? Moreover, it is my conviction that to publicize personal delicate matters after the demise of a person by his trustworthy fellow is nothing but stark treachery and cowardice.
All great personalities are 99.0% like you and me. It is the ".01% Divine Spark" that they possess weighs them myriad times more than us. When we idolize a person, we forget that our Hero too is a human being in flesh and blood having normal traits of hunger, thirst, fear, anger, sleep, sex, ambition, avarice, hatred, love and affection. The restrain over these factors is normally of higher degree in Great Personalities. However, they too are bound by laws of nature and must die one day and discard the mortal remains, might he be Lord Christ, Great Buddha, Prophet Mohommed or the Demigod Krishna. It is always presumed that great men are above pitfalls of average human beings and when someone reveals common normal behaviour amongst them, it becomes shocking and repulsive. La Pierre in Freedom at Midnight or Salman Rushdie in Satanic Verses or Taslima in Lajja or David Brown in Da Vinci Code are known examples of this. Therefore a critic, biographer, scholar or writer must avoid references that are harmful to aficionados, devotees, relatives or followers. This delicate topic needs further elaboration; it will be dealt with in epilogue.
It must be borne in mind that wherever I refer 'Baba', it means Subhash Chandra Bose in recluse. He was an elitist. He always referred himself in third person. There is not an iota of doubt that His Holiness Srimat Saradanandaji of Shaulmari Ashram of North Bengal was none else but Subhash Chandra Bose. Former associates like Major Satya Gupt, Haripad Bose, Dr.Gope Gurbax, Uttamchand Malhotra and the like made hue and cry to convince the world about his identity and existence in the Shaulmari Ashram. There were weeklies like Shaulmari and bodies like Subhashwadi Janata Dal of Hiralal Dixit engaged in the same tirade. Unfortunately, none of them could substantiate the identity with valid evidence. The Government, relatives, associates, followers and worshipers, and both the official enquiry committees miserably failed to ascertain the truth. It was due to several reasons including the presumption that rumours of his existence were a hoax, to have access in the Ashram to verify facts was difficult rather impossible and the Government of India intentionally avoided the investigation to ward off self- destruction.
I was successful to penetrate the sanctum sanctorum and win the trust of His Holiness. When I assert that Baba Saradanandaji was Subhash Chandra Bose, my conviction is based on most intimate association, discussions, dictations, deductions, similarities, plans, handwriting, physique, habits, photographs, and last but not the least his own admission. It is said habits diehard. Remove 'h' and a bit remains, remove 'a' and bit remains, and remove 'b' it remains. So, in order to compare and correlate Baba's nature, I have inserted some similarities between Saradanadji and Subhash Bose in parenthesis. The identical nature and traits are also vividly mentioned in Topical Biography viz. ' Netaji Vis a Vis Babaji'. It is rather time consuming and a very difficult job to reproduce my diaries topic wise. To avoid intricate complications, I have adopted sequential approach to this chapter. It is left to future scholars to restructure it topically.
A suggestion: Owing to the time factor, contemporaries, associates, co-workers and relatives of Bose are dwindling fast and hence scholars should rush to such folks to ascertain statements incorporated herein. The confirmations may please be intimated. The scholars are further advised to immediately contact persons and Ashramites mentioned here to dig and add more information. The first and foremost hidden gold mine of information is with Krishnakant and Radhakant Pandey brothers of village Kaithi about sixteen miles north of Banaras. They have sacrificed their life for him and escorted Subhash Chandra Bose from 1948 till his demise in 1977. Let not history go to grave with the aging Pandey brothers. I came to know that presently they are residing at 'Shanti Kunj', Haridwar.
My earliest memory of adoration of Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose is at the age of about six. Tilak's Kesari of Pune was a leading newspaper of Maharashtra in those days. I vividly remember a full photograph of Netaji along with his photograph in disguise as a bearded Pathan on the front page. It was the news of his escape. The topic was the talk of the town.
In those days radio was a rare luxury. We had a huge wooden model Airmek having magic eye. I remember my father ordering us to shut all doors and windows and then he would switch on radio Berlin to listen to Netaji's speeches and appeals. In school Netaji became my Hero and I devoured literature about him. I have a vivid memory of the shocking news of his death in an air crash and controversy ranging thereafter. I still remember the news that Gandhiji sent a telegram to Bose family informing them not to perform his 'Shradh' (meaning to perform traditional last rites of the departed.) I heard a religious discourse at 'Navaratri' Festival at Amravati in 1956. Shri Gobvindaswami Afale delivered the 'Akhyan' (discourse) on Subhash Chandra Bose. He described how the air crash story and Netaji's death was a white lie. Then news flashes flooded when Shah Nawaz Commission began its probe into Netaji's death. I was doing my college graduation then.
However, my real quest for Netaji began with two news items. The first one was the statement of H.V. Kamath, Member of Parliament from Hoshangabad, Madhya Pradesh. He was I.C.S. and like Netaji he resigned and became Netaji's lieutenant. He asserted that he met the wife of Subhash Chandra Bose in Europe and that she confessed that her husband was not dead but was somewhere in the Himalayas. The second was a full-page article by P.K.Atre of Maharashtra in his daily Maratha on the eve of Diwali festival of 1962. He gave graphic description of his visit to Shaulmari Ashram and although he was denied 'Darshan', he inferred that His Holiness Saradanandaji was Subhash Bose. Those who were dear and near to Subhash were mostly denied audience.
After this flash, Shaulmari Ashram became a focal point of my curiosity, intrigue, and controversy. Uttamchand Malhotra sheltered Netaji at his home in Kabul during his escape. For that act he was interned and all his property was confiscated. His Holiness of Shaulmari Ashram granted him an interview at the Ashram. After that Uttamchand addressed many public rallies and gave press statements that Shaulmari Baba was none else but Netaji. The mystery was further deepened. This sensational news spread throughout the nook and corner of the country through press. He vehemently spread the propaganda and formed Subhashwadi Janata with Hiralal Dixit as president. Major Satya Gupt, a former worker of Subhash Bose and inmate of the Ashram further enhanced this commotion. He would say ' a dog cannot forget his master.' Later two more inmates of the Ashram deserted. They were Haripad Bose, and Administrative Officer Dr.Gope Gurbax. Both were on a spree to announce Baba was Netaji. They joined the bandwagon.
My interest in Subhash Chandra Bose accelerated. I began to collect books on his life and was very keen to visit the Shaulmari Ashram. This was the year 1962 and I was almost at the end of completing of my Ph.D. thesis. The following entries from the diaries augur the beginning of my search of Netaji. It may be noted that I have followed the British system of dates in which first the day, then month and lastly the year follows. In American system month, date, and year is in vogue.

Fall is my absolute favorite time of the year. The colors, the sweaters, the comfort foods and the boots! The reds and oranges prevalent in the Midwest and New England areas speak to me. Growing up in Minnesota, I can remember going to my grandparent's house and playing in the leaves that would fall from their amazing maple trees in the front yard. Nostalgia. It really hits you hard sometimes.
Now Colorado is known for its aspen trees. They go a bright yellow to reddish orange in the fall and it's an awe-inspiring sight to see as the groves can cover acres and acres of land. Fun fact, Aspens (Populus tremuloides) are all clones and technically a single organism. We were going to head up into the mountains to see the aspens but didn't want to go on the official "Color Sunday" because of the crowds and traffic, so we went the weekend before.
And, boy, did we really miss out, everything was still green! There were a few trees that had just started going a bit golden, but it wasn't anything exciting. Just a hike up in the woods in cooler weather. It was still a fun trip with my bestie, but it wasn't the wash of gold we were expecting.
What did I learn from that decidedly green trip?
Be flexible
The weather usually has the biggest impact on when fall color is at its best. I'm sure you know that you can't hurry Mother Nature, she does things in her own sweet time. The best time for you to enjoy the foliage will change every year and you've got to be willing to change your plans or be happy seeing green if you're early or even leafless trees if you're late.
Catch the local news
Newspapers, newscasts, Twitter and Facebook can all be great resources when it comes to fall color. When nature is a huge draw for visitors it tends to be all over the local news. The area you want to visit may have a designated area for fall color on their webpage too. It can't hurt to check it out.
You can also find useful websites like this tourism website for New England that have information and maps.
Bring snacks
Depending on where you're going there may or may not be places to get something to eat and there is nothing worse than being hungry AND disappointed by a lack of color in your life. No sense in being hangry.
Dress for the weather
Depending on where you're going for color, the weather may be changeable. It's always a good idea to have the right gear with you and layers are always a must. You can always take something off if you're warm, but you can't put something else on if you don't have it.
Do you have any other tips for making the most of your fall color trip?

The Mass and the Eucharist are the source and summit of the Christian life. In this way, our Sunday obligation is more than just an hour each Sunday. But with so much richness, it can be hard to know where to begin to learn about the Mass.
Michael is joined by Christopher Carstens, the Director of the Office for Sacred Worship in the Diocese of La Crosse, Wisconsin, to discuss how you can take Mass from a routine into a time of piety and intense devotion.
Some topics we explore today:
- The meaning of the "sacramental principle" and how it can help change how you see Mass.
- How the Creed is a giving away of your heart.
- Why your presence is desired and required at Mass.
- How to truly participate in the Eucharistic prayer.
- How to transform prayers at Mass into a conversation with God.
- How the Dismissal is a call to take Christ to our neighbors.
Christopher Carstens is Director of the Office for Sacred Worship in the Diocese of La Crosse, Wisconsin, instructor at Mundelein's Liturgical Institute, editor of the Adoremus Bulletin, and a voice on The Liturgy Guys podcast. His latest book, Devotional Journey into the Mass, is available from Sophia Institute Press.
You can hear Mr. Carstens speak at the upcoming Avila Summit. Other speakers will include Cardinal Sarah, Anthony Lilles, Dan Burke, and many more. Click here to learn more.
Check out these two articles mentioned in the interview:
- "How to Receive Communion to the Fullest" by Christopher Carstens
- "Summary Guide to Participation in the Mass," a printable guide by Christopher Carstens
- "21 Things We Do When We Make the Sign of the Cross" by Stephen Beale
Books we discussed:
- Meditations Before Mass by Romano Guardini
- The Power of Silence by Cardinal Robert Sarah

There has been a recent increase in the number of Requests for Evidence (RFE) issued by the USCIS particularly in I-751 petitions and employment-based I-485 applications.
Evidence which was previously sufficient to meet the applicable standard of proof for I-751 petitions to remove conditions seems no longer adequate. The USCIS has become more stringent and is requiring more documents to prove good faith marriage and continued marital union.
In employment-based I-485 adjustment of status applications, boilerplate RFEs have been issued requiring documentation of continuous employment authorization from the date the Form I-485 was filed to the date of the RFE and verification of job offer from the original or new employer.
As a general rule, an RFE is issued where there are missing or incomplete information or documentation or the adjudications officer needs more evidence to fully evaluate the application or petition. The request will indicate what evidence is needed and the deadline for the response.
The USCIS has the discretion to issue an RFE or Notice of Intent to Deny (NOID) in appropriate circumstances. There are some instances however where the USCIS may issue an outright denial without first issuing an RFE or a NOID.
Last June 3, the USCIS issued a policy memorandum to its personnel clarifying the role of RFEs and NOIDs in the adjudication process. It emphasized that RFEs should not be avoided but should issue where the facts and law warrant it. The memorandum lists general principles that an adjudication officer should follow to determine whether an RFE should issue.
The memo states that where the essential elements for eligibility are met using the applicable standard of proof, the adjudications officer shall approve the application or petition without issuing an RFE. The adjudications officer, on the other hand, should issue an RFE if the initial evidence submitted is incomplete or additional evidence is required to meet the applicable standard of proof. If it is determined however that no additional evidence can cure the deficiency, the officer shall issue a denial.
The issuance of a NOID in some instances is required before denying the immigration benefit requested. Where the request for an immigration benefit is made on Form I-800A (relating to adoptions), Form I-800, and Form I-485 (failure of a physician to comply with the conditions of his National Interest Waiver), the issuance of a NOID is required.
The USCIS also deems the issuance of a NOID appropriate where there is little or no evidence submitted or where the individual does not warrant the favorable exercise of discretion even if he has met the threshold eligibility requirements. Also, where a derogatory information is uncovered and is not known to the individual, the officer is required to issue a NOID.
Generally, USCIS will adjudicate the application or petition based on the new evidence submitted. However, it may issue follow-up or additional RFEs where the response opens up a new line of inquiry. A NOID in some cases is issued after the USCIS receives the response to the RFE.
In the meantime, USCIS will put the petition or application on hold. If no response is received on the set deadline, it will decide on the basis of its records and the decision will generally be unfavorable. It is therefore important to timely file the response with the requested evidence to successfully overcome the RFE.

Every time it rolls around, I check out pinterest for PMS help. I've gotten better, but I'm still pretty moody and cramps hit me by surprise.
This time around, I have way more than what I used to have, but I still don't have the 2 major essential oils for periods: dragon time (perfect title!) and clary sage. So I scoured my oil box for other oils that would help in the same ways. They may be more than one or two bottles, but each one helps me with specific things and have helped today's 'ughness' immensely. Let me share with you what the menu was today from my body (isn't being a woman great?!)
This is an oil I apply daily to combat future PMS. Progessence phyto plus is an essential oil that helps regulate the progesterone hormone and is a blend of copaiba (pain killing machine!), frankincense, coconut oil (carrier), cedarwood, bergamot, peppermint, vitamin E acetate (helps with skin), rosewood, chaste tree oil, and finally clove oil (another great pain reliever and a major part of the thieves blend). Apply this oil once (or twice) daily on the wrists or inside of the elbows (what I do), to regulate this hormone, relieve stress and anxiety, and have happier periods (yes I said it)!
Grapefruit is a wonderful citrus oil. It tastes great in water (especially with thieves), helps boost your immune system, fight depression and anxiety AND helps you feel a little less bloated. This morning I felt like a very sad balloon. I applied 2-3 drops of grapefruit around my belly button, and felt so much better. A word of caution though: you may or may not hit the bathroom a few times after applying. Most days I'm good, but yesterday was thanksgiving... so I'll let you use your imagination.
Joy is a lovely blend of rose, bergamot, mandarin, ylang ylang, lemon, geranium, jasmine, palmarose, roman chamomile and rosewood. It smells like heaven on a day where I feel like the devil. I applied 1-2 GENEROUS drops over my heart, and inhaled from the bottle for many minutes to help ease my PMS.
When I typed in google to find an image of peppermint, I typed in peppermine. I love my peppermint! Last night it helped calm down my restless legs, and this morning I applied it over top of the grapefruit to help my stomach calm down. Whenever my period rolls around, for the first morning at least, my stomach is rolly polly. Not today! Within 20 minutes and a few trips to the bathroom, I feel like myself again, smell great, and have a bit of energy to boot.
Last, but not least, panaway. Yes, I did use it to get some pain away. Cramps are hit and miss with me, and so are headaches. Lucky for me, since I started using progessence phyto plus, headaches and periods are no longer synonymous. But cramps can still happen, especially the morning of. I applied 1-2 drops on both of my sides and within moments I felt so much better. Panaway works like a charm and on days like today I am so grateful for it!. Some days I will use wintergreen as well, as it is the main component and pain killer in this blend of clove, helichrysum and peppermint.

Domain Authority 2.0 is Live: Most Sites Experience Defeat in DA Score
Domain Authority
Search Engine Google's PageRank was a standout amongst the most famously utilized website measurements comprehensively by Search engine optimization suppliers. Nonetheless, in 2013 Moz's Space Expert took over from PageRank and has throughout the years developed and today is the most generally acknowledged and confided in positioning measurements in the business, Digital Marketing Agency.
Area Expert is a score or a metric that ascertains the positioning of a site on a Search Engine Result Page (SERP). Thus, for an online business, it is characteristic of the intensity of a site – when the DA score of one site is contrasted and that of it is rival's sites, it is anything but difficult to understand that the webpage with the higher score will include higher on the SERP.
Moz's DA scores on a size of 1 to 100, where a score of 100 demonstrates the capacity of the site to get top positioning, and 1 predicts the most minimal position. DA does not affect a positioning; it is only a computation or measurements that tells the client the likelihood of a site its ability to outrank another. It is an instrument only that is utilized for foreseeing positions on SERPs.
upgrade Domain Authority?
The control of connections and internet searcher lists by Web optimization suppliers who later got named Dark hat Website design Development administration offices, Digital Marketing Services, Sites that could organize oversee or spam backlinks showed better scores, and a large number of such spaces got higher offering cost because of the spiked score.
The other zone that was more than once addressed by the business was the DA's inability to work in synchronization with Google's most recent updates of calculations. Over the most recent couple of years, Moz did not reexamine a lot of its calculations with regards to Space Expert which further hit the precision dimension of the scores that the measurement was showing.

Rivals Camp Series in Houston: What to watch for this weekend
HOUSTON - For the first time in years, the Rivals Camp Series presented by adidas returns to Houston, and the event will be nothing short of a star-studded affair. With plenty of big-name talent expected to come out and compete, there are a number of players and storylines that Rivals.com will be keeping a close eye on during the camp. Below are some of the themes that will be most interesting to watch play out.
RELATED: Full Rivals Camps Series schedule & FAQs
1. Players with a big opportunity to make a big jump in rank.
Jordan Whittington and Erick Young are both on the cusp of five-star status. In the last rankings update, it was determined that Rivals.com was going to get a good chance to see them both at least a few more times over the offseason - including at Sunday's event - and both are in a group of players expected to make a strong case to win an invitation to the Rivals Five-Star Challenge presented by adidas this summer. Other players that have an opportunity to jump from three- to four-star status with a strong showing include Javonne Shepherd, Joshua Ellison, Kori Roberson and Marcus Banks. In some cases, Sunday's camp will be the first time that Rivals.com analysts have been able to put eyes on several prospects, so the opportunity is a big one for many of the players coming out.
2. Can Arjei Henderson continue to stir the pot in the race for top WR?
Two of the nation's top-three receivers are from Texas and all three are in the top-six players overall. Arjei Henderson is ranked lowest, with Theo Wease and Jadon Haselwood in front of him, but Sunday will give Henderson his first chance to change the minds of Rivals.com analysts since the last rankings update. Both Henderson and Wease were at the Future 50 camp in January preceding the Under Armour All-America Game, but early in one-on-one competition, Henderson rolled an ankle and didn't have a chance to go toe-to-toe with Wease, who was outstanding.
At one point, Henderson moved in front of Wease in the rankings, but the Future 50 camp put some decent separation between the two. Henderson is a special talent - he makes the acrobatic seem like second nature and is as athletic as they come - but in order for him to move back in front of Wease and Haselwood he may need to dig in and dominate the camp at an even higher level than what's expected.
3. Top linebacker spots are there for the taking.
Is Texas devoid of linebackers, or have the best ones simply not been discovered yet? Outside of Dallas-area prospect Marcel Brooks, who is expected to participate in the Houston camp, there aren't a great deal of other prospects that command much attention at the position. Local product David Gbenda is another prospect that is on the shortlist of players looking to make an impression and snag a fourth star, and he has seen his recruitment take off in a short period of time since the camp season has begun this spring.
In the month of March, Gbenda has picked up offers from Colorado, Kansas State, Nebraska, SMU, Texas and Utah. Other players that have been on the recruiting radar but have yet to see things take off in a big way include Spencer Jones, Tyrique Matthews and Zach Zimos. The linebacker group projected to show up next week in Dallas is also on the lean side, so a big performance this week by a Texas linebacker could make a huge difference in the next state rankings.
4. Wide receiver vs. defensive back one-on-ones will steal the show.
Henderson might be the highest-ranked player at wide receiver, but he won't be the only big-name wide receiver at the camp by a longshot. Devonta Lee, Elijah Higgins, Garrett Wilson, Jalen Curry and Whittington are all top 2019 prospects that will help Henderson headline the group, while Collin Sullivan, Demond Demas, and Troy Omeire are among the 2020 names that are expected to be in attendance. Lining up across from them, Bobby Wolfe, Dwight McGlothern and Jevin Murray join Banks and Young as guys that should be big playmakers at defensive back.
Some players whose names may not be as familiar as the ones mentioned, but could make a push for MVP honors at the camp include Kealon Jackson, Corey Williams and Nathaniel Beal at wide receiver, while Ja'Corey Benjamin, Kaymen St. Junious and Kevric Wiggins could make a quick name for themselves going up against some of the top receivers throughout the afternoon.
5. Which quarterbacks will separate themselves?
Outside of Rivals100 quarterback Grant Gunnell, there is plenty of time and room for other quarterbacks to file in behind him and Allen quarterback Grant Tisdale. Texas quarterback commit Roschon Johnson is not expected to be at Sunday's camp, and seems to be losing ground to passers like Chris Herron, Jacob Zeno and Terrence Gipson, who are all expected to participate this weekend. Intriguing quarterbacks in the 2020 class will have the chance to show off in a big way on Sunday as well, and Chandler Galban, Hunter Dunne and Malik Hornsby top the list of underclassmen.
Gunnell will be looking to earn a second consecutive invitation to the Five-Star Challenge, and he will be the most seasoned quarterback at the event. Tisdale is expected to be the top passer at the Dallas event next week, but players like Levi Williams, Sam Saxton and TJ Goodwin have the sort of physical tools that many programs search for in a quarterback, and they could be the next wave of prospects to start catching offers in bunches.

RICHMOND — Leeds native Gen. Oliver Otis Howard helped bring hundreds of escaped and freed slaves to Maine to find new lives as free men and women, though for many that meant toiling on farms or in quarries for low wages in rural communities where they were often the only black people in town.
Howard, historian Candace Kanes told about 50 people at the Southard House Museum on Monday, helped numerous former slaves start new, free lives, both during the Civil War and after, when he was commissioner of the Freedmen's Bureau, a federal government agency that aided freed slaves after the war.
"MLK Day and recent events involving blacks and police in a number of cities across America afford an excellent opportunity to talk about historical race relations," Kanes said. "The past lives with us. Which is why this topic is so important to talk about. We didn't solve race relations. We didn't solve it by the Civil War, and we haven't solved it yet."
Howard brought a former slave, Julia, back to help his wife, Elizabeth, at their Augusta home. He paid Julia to cook and clean and help care for their four children.
He also worked with Adams Merrill, owner of the Merrill Quarry in Brownville, to place about 34 families of former slaves in the small Maine town. They worked in the quarry, where former slaves made up about one-quarter of the workforce, and where their children attended local, unsegregated schools.
Merrill built homes for workers.
Kanes said theories on Merrill's motivation include both that he wanted to help the former slaves, but also that he had found a source of cheap labor. Many of the former slaves had only one place to shop, the company store, where the cost of their purchases sometimes equaled or exceeded their paychecks.
"Merrill wanted to help the former slaves, but he was also a businessman and wanted to pay laborers as little as possible," said Kanes, who is researching how freed slaves came to Maine during and after the Civil War. "The former slaves were unaccustomed to cold weather, and the homes Merrill had built for them were, essentially, uninsulated. About one-third of them suffered pneumonia and died. And the others decided, maybe this isn't the place for us. By 1879 all had left the area."
Kanes, curator of the Maine Historical Society's Maine Memory Network, a statewide digital museum and archive, holds degrees in modern American history and American and women's studies. She has taught history, American studies and women's studies at Bates College, the University of New England, University of Southern Maine and Maine College of Art.
She spoke in Richmond as part of the Southard House Museum's new cultural and educational programming at the privately owned, nonprofit museum in the former home of shipbuilder Charles Southard.
Southard's father, Thomas, also a shipbuilder and sea captain, and his wife, Jane, employed a black servant, Martha Janney from South Carolina, according to the 1870 census, one of two black women in Richmond at the time.
"How she got to Richmond is a mystery," Kanes said. "What happened to her is equally a mystery. She may have gotten married, died, left Maine, or just got ignored in the records."
Kanes said the 1870 census indicates hundreds of black people lived in Maine, often as farm workers, and they were often the only black person or family in small rural Maine towns. According to the 2010 Census, Maine is still 95 percent white, ranking second after Vermont as the state having the fewest minorities of color.
"It's not hard to imagine life in rural Maine for a solitary black man or woman" could be challenging, Kanes said to the crowd which included several young children and teenagers. "So it's not surprising many who came after the war didn't stay. They likely had thoughts about experiencing freedom and thoughts about losing the communities they were part of."
Former slave Samuel Osborne settled in the Waterville area, eventually taking over his father's job as a janitor at Colby College, where he was a beloved, though sometimes mocked, figure on the campus for decades.
Kanes said she got some material for her research from the Kemp family, who remain in the central Maine area. She said George Washington Kemp was a former slave who was brought to Maine by Howard to help on his mother's farm.
Kanes said she is researching the issue in part because, when she curated a Civil War exhibit, she was frustrated at the lack of information about black and mixed race soldiers from Maine.
She said it is also frustrating that because many of the former slaves could not read or write, much of the written history of the time was written by middle-class and elite white men, not from the perspective of the former slaves themselves.

Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is a chronic condition that damages the immune system of the body and prevents it from fighting infection. In its advanced stages, HIV causes acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS).
HIV is a sexually transmitted infection and transmits through any form of sexual contact. It can also spread through exposure to blood and bodily fluids of people with HIV. HIV can be transmitted from mother to baby through pregnancy, childbirth, or breastfeeding.
There is no cure for HIV or AIDS, but with proper HIV management, you may live many years without significant symptoms or progression to AIDS.
Those at highest risk for getting HIV include anyone who has sexual contact with someone with HIV. Sexual contact includes oral, anal, or vaginal sex.
Those at high risk for getting HIV include:
Behaviors that place you at higher risk for getting HIV include:
If you are at high risk for having HIV or if you know you have been exposed to HIV, it is vital that you get tested. Testing not only ensures your best outcome but can keep you from further transmission of the disease.
Diagnosis of HIV occurs using a simple blood test. Blood tests don't show HIV immediately after exposure but could take between 12 weeks and six months to show a positive result.
Some HIV tests can show positive results between 2-8 weeks after exposure, but a negative test doesn't mean you don't have the infection.
HIV management involves the administration of a specific combination of medications called antiretroviral therapy (ART). ART requires you to take medications multiple times a day with frequent monitoring for effectiveness.
In HIV management, Dr. Roberts closely monitors:
It is vital for effective HIV management that you work closely with Dr. Roberts to establish your personalized treatment plan. He is committed to supporting you throughout your HIV journey.
For compassionate, expert HIV management, call or schedule an appointment with Family Medical Practice of the Treasure Coast, PA today.

Flower, Sun, and Rain is perhaps one of the strangest games I've ever played, and keep in mind I'm fresh off Knights in the Nightmare by developer Sting. The story follows a man by the name of Sumio Mondo who is a "searcher" by occupation. Basically he's an all-around detective who works freelance for the highest bidder. When a mysterious call comes in from the Flower, Sun, and Rain Hotel one day Sumio accepts the job knowing little about the situation, and what unfolds is one of the strangest, "toss you on in" offerings out there. You play as Sumio, you learn what he learns, and have very little at your disposal from the outset.
Since Sumio is a searcher by nature the mysterious man relies on a few tools of the trade, all combined into one do-it-all briefcase he named Catherine. Why Catherine, you might ask? Well in Sumio's own words, "It's better than working with a guy named 'Bob' all day, every day." Ok then. Right from minute one the game bombards you with some strange scenes and nonsensical design, and it's up to you to figure out what is going on. Movies play periodically throughout the adventure, acting as single screen only cinemas that may or may not tell you anything about the game. There's a lot of style here, but not a whole lot of substance. After you're plopped into the first stage of the game – a deserted parking lot – it becomes painfully obvious how the experience will be playing out. You walk around the world with Sumio, can interact with random objects via the touch screen or A button, and they in turn either initiate either a cinema that tells story, inner monologue with Sumio, or jack-in challenge. Jack into people or objects successfully and you'll progress the story.
It's an odd situation unless you've got the game directly in front of you, but basically you're using your Catherine device to literally plug into living and non-living things. When initiated you'll be prompted with a number of colored plugs on the bottom screen, and literally guess through each color by clicking and dragging the plug into whatever dock is shown on the bottom screen. It's totally random though, so you'll usually go through a half dozen plugs until one magically clicks. It's just a random time-taking interaction, and there's no real way to fail. From there Catherine's number dial pops up, as does a number of open boxes on the top screen. Just like hangman you need to spin the dial and imput the right numbers (zero through nine) until you've got the code. How do you get the numbers, you might ask? Well therein sits this game's insane design.
The entire story for Flower, Sun, and Rain is based on that core concept. You find puzzles, research, boot up Catherine, and input the correct answer. The problem that nearly 100% of gamers will find (unless you're a crazed mental freak that can destroy puzzles and absorb dozens of pages of info at a time) is that the game is entirely nonsensical and doesn't do much to steer you in the right direction. It starts out simply enough, having you wander around until you meet a person who checks to see if you know your birthday. Ok… no problem. Your birthday is recorded on the DS's internal system memory, so simply put in the same day you did when you got the DS and you're good to go. From there you get another puzzle that's also birthday related (showing a flipped baby) and you need to monkey with the digits you provided. My birthday is September 19, so I had 0919 to work with. Flip it? That could be 0616 (upside down), 1909 (tweak the month/day order), 9190 (backwards), or 9091 (reverse the two sets in order). As you can see, things get pretty crazy pretty quick, and there's no real tutorial to get you going. As a serious issue I had with the game, you never know when you're going to be chatting with a character or going into one of these challenges, so every time you press A on something suspicious you may be kicking off 10-20 dialogue boxes about a new challenge. This made me think twice before talking to a seemingly random person, or before checking a random object. Would this be another puzzle for me to start, or a piece of one I already had going?

Where have all the great topics/posts gone?
El Jefe last edited by
What happened? I just did a quick scan down the first page and only found 3 topics of more than 75 posts. Two on Bible/evolution and one on Bush II(W).
Is this a normal summer lull? Though I guess with this forum's short history that's hard to gauge.

Get Started On Pinterest
Pinterest is known for fun boards to search recipes, the latest trends, DIY projects and more.. but did you know it is an amazing Social Media platform to create more exposure and interest in your business? Here are the best tips on how to get started.
Create your business profile: It has the basics like a profile picture, website, description, and you can even create your own custom url for the profile page (like www.pinterest.com/fakecompany) It also has a small spot to put your social media links.
Boards: Next you will have to create Pinterest boards. Think of your business topics – products or services or how you help people and the problems you solve for your customers. A dentist for instance would have Cosmetic Dentistry, Implants, Oral Health, Children's Teeth, Teeth Pain and so on. But here is where you need to think outside the box. I recommend having a board that is Blogs (so you can just have a board that promotes your blogs). Have a lot of events? – have a board just for Events. What about the area you live in. If you are a Chiropractor in Cincinnati then have a board about your local area. If you are a Podiatrist targeting women, create a board about Women's Foot Health and also something fun like Foot Spa and Shoes. Think of your target market and what topics would entice them to re-pin your pins etc. *Tip – Don't be afraid to show your personality and fun side – post some whimsical boards just for fun!
Extra note on boards: When you go to a profile page, you'll notice there is one picture that is a thumbnail and represents that board. Change up your 'cover photo' from time to time to mix things up and show that you have new content. Make sure it's a snazzy picture that will grab someone's attention.
Pins: Now that you have some boards, it's time to upload pictures. Go to your inventory of pictures you've posted on your website and social media. Save and put them in the right Board categories. You'll notice you have a space to put a description of the picture and a spot for source (a link to a blog perhaps or your website?). If you have text graphics (graphic that has text superimposed AND a link to a video, podcast or blog) even better! Make sure the description describes the article/podcast etc and put the link in the source section so folks can head to your sites to read/listen more! Make sure you aren't too salesy though – think Content Marketing vs product or service promotion. *Tip – Extra long vertical graphics really work well for Pinterest and stand out. Perfect for infographics!
Extra note on Pins: Did you know you can install the pin it button to your browser? Makes it super easy to get new content (plus it sources where you got it from to be safe).
Well, that should be enough to get you started! Check out what other 'like' businesses are doing for inspiration and ideas and don't be afraid to think outside the box! Check out my blog next week as I post more Pinterest tips to increase your followers and engagement!

Bed bugs feed on the blood of humans and other creatures. While it is possible for bedbugs to spread disease, in India it is very rare. But the primary concern is the irritation and distress caused by bed bug bites.
Bed bug bites do not hurt. It is the itchiness that results from the body's response to them that causes discomfort. Treating the bites calms the irritation, but it can still be very distressing when there are multiple bites as is often the case with bedbugs. Multiple bites and contact with bedbugs can also lead to itchiness or rashes. You should consult a pharmacist for advice and treatment if this problem occurs.

I was skeptical of ghosts before the Histories of London project.
After researching several local ghost stories, including Eldon House's, for the mini-documentary series, I'm a believer.
Eldon House has been a part of the Forest City since 1834, when the Harris family moved in. After Milly Harris' passing in 1959, her nephews and niece donated the building to the City of London as a museum.
Various programs invite guests to experience the home as if they time traveled to the Harrises' time.
Tara Wittmann, a curator at Eldon House, said that the museum's team discovered guests crave ghost stories.
"Through the years, we've recognized that there is certainly a hunger for this topic here in London, so we have tried to respond to that wish by creating innovative programming," she said.
Wittmann explained that the goal of the October events is to discuss the stories that have happened in the home, rather than making the house seem haunted. She added that ghost stories are important for London's heritage.
"In any look at history, we are talking about stories, things that have happened in the past or how people associate with things that went before," she said. "Ghost stories and re-tellings achieve that same end, whether people are looking for a tour of the house or whether people are looking for something very specific related to the paranormal."
October events at Eldon House includes occult workshops and the Great Eldon House Ghost Hunt.
The great Eldon House Ghost Hunt
The Great Eldon House Ghost Hunt tells the spooky tales to guests. Everyone who attends gets a map with the stories to follow along.
The ambient music makes you feel like you're in a horror film. The warm orange lighting throughout most rooms complements the autumn evening.
Every time I heard the floor creak, I reminded myself that it was likely from other guests and not a ghost.
As you shift to each room during the Eldon House Ghost Hunt, you learn about each story tied to the many rooms. The stories range from the 1960s séance to the beaded slippers spotted in the kitchen.
The ghost hunt begins in the library with the story of Sarah Harris and Wenman Wynniatt.
I knew about the story from the Misstorical Fiction blog and an OurLondon article, republished by OurWindsor. Yet, it is still chilling every time I hear it.
So, what's the story?
Sarah Harris was John and Amelia Harris' oldest daughter. Her parents were ready to marry her off, and she was dating Wenman Wynniatt, an 83rd Regiment British Officer.
Wynniatt was due to meet her at a ball at the Harris family home on May 14, 1841. The two met earlier at a steeplechase, where Sarah gave him a rose. Sarah waited for him, and Wynniatt arrived late at the ball while staying silent. After she laughed to her friends about his rude behaviour, she looked for him at the event, but he had left.
"The next morning, John asked his eldest daughter Sarah if she had seen Wenman the night before. She had recounted her experience saying that yes she had seen him and he didn't speak to her," said Wittmann. "John then broke the news to Sarah that Wenman Wynniatt's body had been found in the river to the north of the village."
Wynniatt's pocket watch stopped at the same time that guests recalled seeing him.
As Wittmann recounted the tale of Wynniatt, I could feel a draft in the library. That was days before I went to the ghost hunt!
To hear more ghost stories, stop by Eldon House during the evenings of October 26 and 27 for the Great Eldon House Ghost Hunt! The tours start at 7 PM and admission is $19.50 each person plus taxes and fees.
Thanks to Wittmann and the Eldon House team for sharing the stories! An additional thank you goes out to Jason Plant and his team at MC Spirit Studios for their work on the mini-documentary series.
Share any of your spooky encounters in London in the comments. I'd love to hear about your experience.

Resident Evil: Extinction
So, the subways in New York have replaced all of their Skinwalkers posters with these Resident Evil: Extinction posters.
It's kind of interesting, I suppose that they keep cranking these out. By all accounts, it's kind of an unloved series. The idea is nice, and the game series they're based on is unparalleled delight.
Though there's a strong argument for the Final Fantasy series, the Resident Evil games are one of the best examples for video games replacing movies as our greatest art form. It's art you can interact with. A story that engages you physically and emotionally and can scare you as much as any shadow whisper or cat screech.
The movies have been…weak, but Milla Jovovich has audience goodwill in spades. Has she been in a good movie ever? No. Is she everyone's favorite? Yes. Why? I like her. I can't tell you why. I'll see a movie just because she's in it. Throw in zombies and a post-apocalyptic Vegas? I'm there. Will it be terrible? Probably! Will I care? Probably not. Why? Milla. And no jury will convict me of bad taste, since they're all her fans as well. I defy any of you to say truthfully you do not love her.Read More

Product info
Heat Pump (heat pump) is an energy-saving water heater more efficient water heating system up to 4 times by the principle of operation of Heat Pump is a heat energy in the air is the heat energy that can be used with heat transfer, with water or bring summer to use on electrical energy, just 25% of thermal energy by 75% of energy so it's free! By heat drawn from the air around us.
High Efficietcy Heat Pump COP 4.0 Stainless Plate Heat 316 Grade For Anti Corrossion Double wall plate Heat Exchanger For Anti Contamination Duct Connectable (Centrifugal Fan) / Free Blow (Propeller Fan) Environment friendly refrigerant R-407c
How it work
Air to Water Heat Pump An air to water heat pump absorbs low temperature energy from air (usually outside air) raises it to a higher, more useful temperature using a refrigerant cycle and uses water to deliver the heat. A heat exchanger transfers the energy from the air to a refrigerant with a low boiling point which evaporates and circulates in a closed system.
The pressure of the refrigerant is raised by a compressor, which also raises the temperature to a useable level. The refrigerant then condensed in a second heat exchanger and releases heat to a water delivery system. The pressure of the refrigerant is then reduced by an expasion valve, its temperature falls, and it is ready to start the cycle again and absorb energy from the air.

A couple news bits on my favorite all time rock star, Frank Black!
1. Frank Black as the Zodiac killer
Just saw this blurb here on Dark Horizons.
Zodiac: Frank Black (of The Pixies) is rumoured to be in talks for the role of the Zodiac killer.
"Zodiac" was recently announced as being the next project from David Fincher ("Seven", "Panic Room", "Fight Club")
I'm sure everyone here remembers that David Fincher used the Pixies "Where Is My Mind?" to great effect for the "Fight Club" trailer... so I think this rumor has some level of credibility.
Per Harry Knowles of Aint It Cool News:
The film will be based upon Robert Graysmith's two books entitled ZODIAC and ZODIAC UNMASKED...
Now - you may remember that Zodiac hunted his prey in San Francisco for going on a quarter of a century. Without a doubt - the killer in the first DIRTY HARRY was a nod to Zodiac, simply by referring to him as Scorpio. Now the adaptation from the Graysmith novels will be handled by James Vanderbilt, who was the screenwriter on DARKNESS FALLS, BASIC and THE RUNDOWN...
2. Pixies on Letterman Monday night
This is a rerun of their appearance from last month, so not exactly breaking news... except for those of us who missed it the first time.

Christian Gatti ate enough stone crab claws in 16 minutes Sunday to break a small bank.
The 30-year-old resident of Big Pine Key devoured 25 of them to win the Stone Crab Eating Contest in Marathon, CBSMiami.com reported.
And he did it the old-fashioned way. No butter, mustard or cocktail sauce was needed.
"Stone crabs are great because they're sweet and tender and honestly you don't need dipping sauce," Gatti told CBSMiami.com. "People use butter, people use mustards - but if you can just sit there and eat the stone crab, it has its own flavor, own texture, and they're fabulous."
They can also be fabulously expensive. Three large stone crabs at famed Joe's Stone Crab will set you back $35.95.
So if Gatti had been eating from Joe's bar menu Saturday, his bill would have come to $299.58 — minus tax and tip.
Fortunately Gatti, he was eating at Keys Fisheries. The contest kicked off stone crab harvest season, which runs through May 15.
Florida Keys are the top regional supplier of stone crab claws. About 2 million pounds of the delicacy come from Keys waters annually, CBSMiami.com reported.
Gatti ate a bit less than that on Saturday, but he did it in just 15 minutes and 57 seconds. That was faster than 25 competitors. He used an ice cream scoop to crack the claws.
"Go through 'em nice and steady. Crack, crack, crack, then eat, eat, eat," he told CBSMiami.com. "And then go through the ones you missed and try to end up a winner."

Showers and storms will clear out overnight leaving behind mostly cloudy skies. Fog will be possible in areas that saw rain earlier in the day. It will once again be a warm and humid night with lows in the 60s.
Independence Day will spark more than fireworks. It will be hot and humid with highs reaching the upper 80s. You'll want to stay hydrated with plenty of water and cool with ice cream or other cool treats. Also pack the shades and sunblock if you will be out for an extended period. The heat and humidity will also help fuel thunderstorms during the afternoon and evening. Be prepared if you get caught in a passing storm and make sure you have a backup plan for any activities. Showers and storms will clear out overnight therefore, firework shows should continue as planned.
The summertime heat will last through the weekend but that just means it's the perfect time to hit the pool. Highs will sit in the 80s Friday and humidity levels will be oppressive. A mix of sun and clouds will kick off the day and thunderstorms will pop up during the afternoon. Some may be strong with heavy downpours, gusty winds and hail.
The region will hang on to some activity through Saturday and Sunday but that doesn't mean it will be a washout. Of the two days, Saturday looks to be slightly more active with an afternoon scattered shower or storm. A stray thunderstorm may pop up Sunday otherwise, it looks to be the drier day of the weekend.
By the start of next week conditions will be a little closer to average with highs around the low 80s. Monday will also be less active as partly sunny skies look to kick off the new work week. The sunshine and dry weather will last through the middle of the week.
