Cuban President Raul Castro will make his first state visit to Mexico in November, coming to Merida in a sign of revival of bilateral relations that began after the return to power of the Mexican party which backed Havana since the triumph of the revolution.
The Foreign Ministry said in a statement that Castro will be in Mexico November 5-7 and meet with President Enrique Peña Nieto in Merida.
The Merida meetings between Castro and Peña Nieto, on bilateral trade and other subjects, are scheduled to take place in the Yucatan State Palace of Government and hotels in the neighborhood around Paseo de Montejo and Avenida Colón.
Since taking office in 2006, replacing his brother Fidel, Raul Castro had not visited Mexico.
“This state visit has a special significance, to be part of a relationship that is dear to both countries and is going through an excellent phase following the relaunch initiated by the two governments in November 2013,” said the Mexican Foreign Ministry.
Mexico and Cuba lived nearly a decade of ups and downs when the country was ruled by the conservative National Action Party.
But bilateral relations began to take a new direction after the return to power of the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI) when Peña Nieto won the presidency in 2012. That party had ruled the country for seven decades until 2000, when for the first time the opposition took office.
Except during the presidency of Ernesto Zedillo (1994-2000), PRI governments always had a relationship of respect and non-interference in the internal affairs of Cuba, a position that was not followed during the administration of the National Action Party.
Peña Nieto visited Cuba in early 2014.

The Elixir Of Immortality Does Exist!
Elixir of immortality: The Secret Of Immortality – REVEALED! Have you ever asked yourself these questions: Does the elixir of immortality really exist? Can I become immortal? Is it possible for me to live forever?
The elixir of immortality is a mythical potion that, when drunk at a certain time, from a certain cup, gives the drinker eternal life.
If you want to listen to the audio version of this post, click the play button below:
Today we will not discuss about the elixir of immortality as a potion, but as a controversial book that reveals the secret to immortality.
At a quantum level all matter is energy, and all energy is information. There are many ways in which we accumulate, or ingest the information that surrounds us. In like manner, if we speak about a magical potion or a magical book, we can affirm that both are made from the same stuff: INFORMATION. If you are still skeptical about this subject, please read this post: Is Immortality Possible .
Most of us perceive the world through our 5 senses: sound, sight, touch, smell, and taste. This perception of reality is made by decoding the information. Consequently, your mind decodes this information by taking into consideration some of these factors:
- Your past experiences
- Your identity
- Your inner beliefs (conscious or unconscious)
- Your memories (thoughts, feelings, emotions)
So, where do I find the elixir of immortality? Keep reading!
Therefore, if you have strong beliefs that the elixir of immortality does not exist, you simply have a perception that the elixir of immortality does not exist. Instead, if a part of you feels that the elixir of immortality could exist, you open yourself up to new possibilities, and implicitly you create a new reality around yourself. A reality in which you are capable of perceiving and understanding the information that comes to you.
In this case, I can tell you that you have come to the right place!
Immortality is a unique book that can offer you what you have been searching for for ages: the elixir of immortality!
“The author, Chris George, proposes to his readers a fantastic book with an ancient, but always new theme: immortality.
This book arose after a great amount of literature and sociological readings which have settled in layers over the author’s mind and soul. But in the meantime, many other questions and feelings have taken shape…”
I wrote this book because I wanted to offer YOU the possibility of living forever! (Chris George)
“The book expresses the result of a feverish search for the inner self. Therefore, we can now see how Chris’s book emerged from various febrile interrogations addressed to the self and to the reality that influences one’s present and afterlife existence.
The book Immortality, also known as The Elixir of Immortality, is constructed as a continuous dialogue between author and reader, the two factors existing in a sustained interaction. This dialogue meets the attributes of a true lesson of existence and immortality, and also meets some well-known didactic and methodical principles; the principles of:
- Individual work
- And creativity
It is, therefore, a book to be read with a pencil in hand in order to fill in the blanks generously offered to the reader for recording his
- • Observations
- • Impressions
- • Memories
- • Dreams
- • And feelings.
Funny and serious alike is the use of the theme of the turkey hen, by which the author gives a suggestive dimension to the human condition, confidence in man’s power to define the destiny, to guide it step by step towards one’s own possible and achievable immortality.” – prof. John Gregory
Here’s what you can achieve by drinking the elixir of immortality:
• CONSCIOUS CREATION OF YOUR REALITY
• NO FEAR OF DEATH
• Inner PEACE
• UNDERSTANDING of some “strange” phenomena in your life, such as:
Dreams (the experiences during sleep)
If you want to enjoy learning about areas like:
- • Spirituality
- • Dreams
- • Quantum Physics
- • Psychology
- • Lucid Dreaming
- • Esoteric Field
- • Paranormal
- • Law of Attraction
- • Deja-Vu
- • Metaphysics
Then this book is just for you! www.TheImmortalitySecret.com
Immortality defies the laws of reality, and goes beyond the barriers of the mind!
Susan: “Life has changed for me completely ever since I came across this amazing book! I had some serious questions at the back of my mind all these years. Finally, I can find some real answers and learn all about the conscious creation of my reality. The book is very easy and simple to follow and offers well-organized information on understanding the dreams, coincidences, and premonitions in our lives. Blessings!”
Helen: “My perception of the world significantly changed after I read the e-book Immortality. I understood how our subconscious mind decodes the information about immortality. Thanks to this e-book, I can now modify my reality because I’m more powerful than I ever thought possible. Thank you, Chris!”
Mark: “I was troubled by my past, and my mind was forever flooded with terrible thoughts about dying. Needless to say, I was very unhappy deep down. However, I am truly glad I came across this marvelous book my friend ordered for me. My life changed after that, and I realize that things are not always what they seem. Now I have no fear of death, and it is as if my body has become free and liberated. I also feel a positive change in me and so do the people around me. Go ahead and explore the book for yourself.”
Sang Wang: “I really want to thank my father for giving me the best present of my life. He knew that I was spiritually inquisitive and was looking for some answers. Now, thanks to this wonderful book on dreams, quantum physics, psychology and paranormal phenomena, I finally have all the answers I was looking for. I feel peace and happiness from within. Thank you.”
Jack: “I stumbled across this website quite by accident… While browsing the blog I became intrigued by what I read. It’s kind of funny how we view the world, but how it actually works is pure intelligence. Immortality is quite different from anything I’ve ever read, but I really enjoyed it.”
Sarah: “Chris effortlessly uses his literary magic in pleasing ways to bring to you the experience of immortality. “Immortality” is so rejuvenating to the reading experience! It should leave its mark on the way you view life. I recommend this book to anyone who wants to know more about their true nature.”
Nicole: “I want to tell everyone that Chris George opened my eyes. It’s so simple to understand immortality. In fact, it’s a matter of opening your eyes. I can’t divulge the secret from the book, but I can tell you guys to read it. It’s a must! Thanks, Chris!”

The MP40 is without a doubt the best weapon in the early days of Call of Duty: Vanguard multiplayer. Though it’s still a submachine gun, it can outgun assault rifles across the map. Not even the mighty STG44 can stand up to it in most situations. With such a powerful weapon, it should be no surprise that the MP40 has a dominant loadout in Vanguard.
There are no glaring weaknesses with the MP40 but that doesn’t mean fans can’t improve its stats with attachments. The MP40 already has terrific damage range, recoil control and fire rate but all of these areas are increased with its recommended Vanguard loadout.
Best MP40 loadout in Vanguard
The real area that needs to be addressed with the MP40 is its long-range ability. It already possesses some of the best close-range stats in Vanguard, meaning all players need to worry about is figuring out how to dominate beyond 25 meters. Luckily, players can easily turn the MP40 into a mini-rifle with the right set of attachments in Vanguard.
- Muzzle: F8 Stabilizer
- Barrel: Krausnick 317MM 04B
- Optic: Slate Reflector
- Stock: VDD 34M
- Underbarrel: M1941 Handstop
- Magazine: 9MM Para 24 Round Fast Mag
- Ammo Type: Lengthened
- Rear Grip: Granular Grip
- Proficiency: Vital
- Kit: Quick
The loadout begins with the F8 Stabilizer and Krausnick 317MM 04B barrel to give the MP40 extra damage range and recoil control. This is followed up by the M1941 Handstop and Lengthened Ammo Type to give the SMG extra recoil control and bullet velocity, respectively.
Other attachments on the loadout include the VDD 34M Stock to offer additional ADS speed and the Granular Grip to improve flinch resistance. There’s also the 9M Para 24 Round Fast Mag to give players some extra reload speed. Finally, the Vital Proficiency allows players to deal more damage to the upper body and the Quick Kit provides extra movement speed. These loadout attachments are perfect for the MP40 in Vanguard.

欧美人与动欧交视频|亚洲日本香蕉视频观看视频Websites are extremely important to most organizations, and they are the face of that organization online. Therefore, they are get a lot of traffic that affects the organization's overall online presence. Due to this, it is imperative that these websites are always accessible to their clients and customers, and they can suffer very little downtime to be effective. This is where network monitoring software comes in handy, because it a security software network that is designed to monitor and track network related issues.
欧美人与动欧交视频|亚洲日本香蕉视频观看视频This guide is designed to help organizations to get a better understanding of the network monitoring software landscape. It will answer many questions that organizations might have to understand this type of software and which particular one will best suit their individual needs.
欧美人与动欧交视频|亚洲日本香蕉视频观看视频Network monitoring services were designed to help organizations to keep their data centers functioning and healthy, at all times. They help to analyze data, monitor incoming and outgoing data, and detect any threats to an organizations network by examining both devices and applications in real time. They do it in real time, because it helps organizations get warning alerts faster so they can respond to threats promptly. Therefore, organizations need to have effective IT departments to help manage these services. In the past, networks that were unreliable would result in things like delayed emails and other things that made things easier to workaround. However, in today's business world this is different. Having a data network that is unreliable can cause an organization's operations to come to a standstill. For example, if network systems can get IP addresses through DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol), then their system will be unable to communicate with other organization systems. Likewise, organizations' systems will be unable to connect to the internet via any system if there is a function in a DNS (Domain Name System). It is important to know how to manage an organization's bandwidth, because this will allow all users on the network to meet their full productivity. To help with this, there are different network monitoring systems at the top of the industry below that will help with these types of situations. The majority of them are cloud-based system, but all of them will help to keep an organization's network safe and their users securely connected.
Due to the critical nature of these services, a few of them can cross over into the infrastructure category. At this point, DNS can become even more of an issue for management infrastructure issues. Typically, a network administrator would be responsible for managing DHCP services.
First introduced back in 1998 by RFCs (Request for Comments) 1065, 1066, and 1067, SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) was established. Since then, SNMPv2 and SNVPv3 have replaced the original version, and this has made it capable of being adopted across several different platforms. Networking is what SNMP is usually associated with. OSes (Operating systems), like Microsoft Windows, can be configured so that they respond to SNMP commands. Those in charge should make sure that their network management tools will use SNMP efficiently to accomplish the tasks they are needed for.
Anyone that needs to know and understand what is happening on a network has to understand network flows. Cisco routers were the first routers that introduced NetFlow, which allowed analyzation of IP network traffic that was exiting and entering through a particular interface. NetFlow sends data to a point of collect, which is usually a database system, and this makes it easier analyses that are query based. Most switch manufacturers and sampling tools, like sFlow, then follow the same path. Hewlett-Packard, Arista Networks, and Brocade Communications Systems are a few the largest networking vendors that have natural sFlow support. Companies can find sFlow descriptions under RFC 3176.
欧美人与动欧交视频|亚洲日本香蕉视频观看视频There are several features that are considered key to having an adequate network management system. A lot of administrators like find the visual graphics that are provided helpful in getting a quick overview of what their current system status is. Not to mention, they can use a dashboard to tweak the arrangements of different graphical elements, as needed. An alert mechanism is important so that someone gets alerted if there is an issue.
IPAM (IP Address Management) is a vital feature for most large corporations. It allows them to keep track of static IP addresses assigned, plus various DHCP pools, that wouldn't be able to managed adequately with the use of a manual system. Since a single person is usually in charge of handling both of those functions, it only makes sense that organization would integrate an IPAM with their network management tool for accuracy and efficiency.
欧美人与动欧交视频|亚洲日本香蕉视频观看视频The key to being able to effectively manage a large number of devices at once is automation. The process becomes more efficient with every small administration task that is automated. One of the largest differentiators between different products is the ability to have an automated repair fall and alert. If this is added to a monitoring system along with the ability to connect remotely, the produce becomes a solid option.
SDN (Software-Defined Networking) is needed, but it takes a technologist or vendor to help reduce the confusion it causes. Basically, SDN is a term that describes the forwarding plane and how the network control plane is functionally separated. It is only through these two things that configuring optimum data paths become possible. However, SDN is only found in the top level of performance switches in network monitoring systems.
欧美人与动欧交视频|亚洲日本香蕉视频观看视频Networking monitoring software needs are greatly impacted by the size of an organization. Generally, most features are divided into solutions that are most beneficial for larger enterprises and small businesses separately:
欧美人与动欧交视频|亚洲日本香蕉视频观看视频Companies can find a lot of free network monitoring software, but they will have limited features. However, companies can usually pay for extra features if they have a larger server network.
The price for most network monitoring platforms is based on the network size, and generally, companies are charged monthly for these services. It makes it easy for companies that have multiple server locations because they can just pay a fee to add the new server to their existing network. Plus, they can choose to pay for extra add-ons and features and 24/7 support to help manage their network system.
It is important to know what requirements you need from a network monitoring system, and you should prioritize them on importance. This will allow you to find the right network monitoring system for your organization's need. There are a few parameters that have been set to help an organization identify which solution will work best:

|Dave Geswein celebrates with teammates after scoring during a big offensive third inning by the Cougars. (Photo by Brian Smith)|
Cougars score often, top rival Corydon in five
April 23, 2008
A night after taking a 17-0 loss on the chin from Floyd Central, North Harrison didn't stay down long. Instead, the Cougars ricocheted back from the lopsided loss to land a knockout blow to rival Class 3A No. 9 Corydon Central, 12-1, Thursday.
Patience at the plate and another strong outing from Cody Johnson on the hill were the foundation for picking up the Cougar win. Johnson gave up three hits and struck out four in the five-inning game. Corydon Central was able to put the ball in play for the better part of the first three innings, but the North Harrison offense posted 12 runs in four innings, deflating the Panthers.
"I thought they would be a little tired tonight, but they weren't," North Harrison coach Greg Oppel said. "You talk about fighting through pain, this team really stepped up tonight. This game is so mental, and the kids fought through sore arms, not to mention the way they lost last night."
The first run broke through in the second inning when Marcus Stone slapped a triple down the left field line, plating Haynes Perry.
In the third, North Harrison broke the game open, eventually chasing Corydon Central starter Chad Shireman. Dave Geswein opened the six-run third inning with a walk. He was followed by a RBI double from Johnson and an Adam Kiesler single. Jim Bob Schuler reached first, loading the bases on an infield error. Shireman then walked Chad Eveslage, plating a run. Another walk and an infield Jordan Byrne single kept the inning going. Geswein put a cap on the inning, hitting a two-run single, giving North Harrison a 7-0 lead.
"We're going to hit the ball," Oppel said. "The loss at Floyd, we hit it, but just at people. Today was much different."
The Panthers pushed their lone run across in the bottom of the third. Tyler Jones started the inning with a double, and scored on a Stu Stark single.
The one-run rally was topped by another North Harrison big inning. In the fourth, five runs came across the plate against Panther hurler Nolan Brightman, who replaced Shireman. Schuler doubled off the fence starting the one-out barrage of runs. Eveslage and Josh Book drew consecutive walks, loading the bases once again. A successful squeeze bunt from Perry plated a run, then another Corydon Central error off the bat of Stone pushed across another. Brightman then walked two additional runs home, before recording the final out.
"Our guys have been pitching well all year," Corydon Central coach Zach Sipes said. "Today, they just had a hard time finding the strike zone. I thought North Harrison did an excellent job with two strikes making our pitcher throw extra pitches. Their approach was just a lot better than ours today."
Geswein reached base in all four plate appearances, drawing two walks and hitting a single and double. He finished the game with three RBIs. Schuler and Perry also had two hits each.
Oppel said he was proud of his team, especially after the loss to Floyd Central and a slow start to the season overall.
"The day before the Floyd Central game was the first time we've been able to get on our infield," the first year coach said. "Everyone knows, we've had some field issues. April 15 was the first day we've been on the infield, so we had a 3-1/2 hour practice, taking around 300 ground balls. I knew we would suffer yesterday."
Despite the rough outing Wednesday, the team came ready at Corydon, and behind ace Johnson's solid outing, came out with a key win that could steer the Cougars forward.
"When we put Cody Johnson on the hill, we have a chance to beat anyone," Oppel said. "He is going to give us that type of effort. He is going to college to pitch for a reason."
Corydon Central will look to bounce back quickly. Sipes told his team after the game to look at what happened last season. Then, the Panthers won the regular season game, but North Harrison nipped them in the sectional.
"Our guys just need to keep their heads up and learn from it," Sipes said.
"Corydon has a great team and we know that," Oppel said about his opponents. "We know we are going to see them later and it is going to be a dog fight. It will not be 12-1 next time."
Up next for North Harrison (4-4) is a trip to Providence today (Wednesday) for a 5 p.m. game. They turnaround and host conference foe Salem on Thursday at 5 p.m.
Corydon Central (7-2) will host Silver Creek Thursday for a 7 p.m. start then travel to Springs Valley for a doubleheader at 11 a.m. on Saturday.

The life and times of a Yorkshire mill owner and his family.
Tom Walls plays Simeon Crowther who owns Bankdam Mill.
His two sons, Joshua, played by Dennis Price, and Zebediah, played by Stephen Murray, clash over the running of the mill. Zebediah's reckless attitude causes the death of his brother in an accident at the mill. Joshua's son, played by Jimmy Hanley, sets out to prove his father was killed by his Uncle Zebediah.
As you would expect, he triumphs and gets to run the mill his way.
A potboiler of a story with a lot of mutton chop whiskers and thee and thy dialogue. Likable all the same. Look out for a young Nicholas Parsons in a minor role.
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
'Master Of Bankdam' is based upon a best selling book by Thomas
Armstrong set in Yorkshire and concerning a family in the wool trade
from the 1850's and onwards. The film mixes the commercial and the
personal in the usual family saga way and though there are no surprises
it tells the story well, covering a lot of years and a lot of
incidents. Once you get used to the familiar cast speaking (some more
successfully than others) in the local accent then it is a gripping
story which makes the 1 hour 45 minutes running time go quickly.
The cast is excellent; Tom Walls and Nancy Price as the elder Crowthers, Stephen Murray and Dennis Price as the sons who don't see eye to eye, Linden Travers and Anne Crawford whom they marry and Jimmy Hanley and David Tomlinson as the grandsons, who also don't see eye to eye. Stephen Murray almost steals the film and his character develops most in the film. Murray was not a first rank star but gave some great performances in several films. Covering such a span of time it doesn't seem rushed though and there are some fine dramatic as well as touching scenes. It portrays the passing of time well with subtle make up and costume for the actors and through the props and settings.
There were several Bankdam novels but this was the only one filmed. The saga would make a good television series.

“Watch democrats call for a Muslim ban” claims a video shared by State Sen. Randy Baumgardner (R-District 8).
The video shows Presidents Carter, Clinton and Obama calling for various immigration policies that the video equates to President Trump’s Muslim ban.
Carter is shown halting visas from Iran in response to the hostage crisis. Clinton and Obama both call for increased border security and the prosecution of illegal immigrants. The video cuts in shots of Trump’s most entertaining facial expressions.
The video seeks to justify Trump’s executive orders on immigration. The orders increase ICE by 10,000 personnel as well as implemeng sweeping raids to find and deport undocumented Americans without due process. Trump also placed an immigration ban on seven Muslim majority countries, which excludes the Christians and Jews in those countries.
The video does provide good evidence that past presidents have had things to say about immigration, but it misses several key parts.
Carter did place a visa ban on Iran similar to Trump’s Muslim ban. However it was in response to a specific case, namely, the holding of 60 Americans hostage in the American embassy in Tehran. While the victims of the Bowling Green massacre may be crying for justice, it seems prudent to limit policy decisions to non-fictionalized events.
The Trump Administration has used the rhetoric of undocumented people as criminals to justify its extreme stance on immigration. However, they have been careful to say that one need not commit a crime to be deported, and they have been actively targeting otherwise law-abiding undocumented Americans. Obama’s stance on enforcing immigration policy referenced in the video was specifically targeted at undocumented Americans who were convicted of a crime.
The Trump Administration has also stepped up what is known as “expedited removal” which means detention and deportation without going through court proceedings, something the Obama Administration never did.
Rep. Baumgardner needs a reminder that not everything you find on the internet is true, no matter how well edited it is. As an elected official he has a duty to be more selective with the ideas he is sharing, especially when they are ruining the lives of thousands of good people.

Delta Regional Authority Press Conference
Delta Regional Authority Federal Co-Chairman Chris Masingill Commends the Delta Council Adult Literacy Program in Mississippi
CLARKSDALE, MS – Today, Delta Regional Authority Federal Co-Chairman, Chris Masingill, participated in a press conference for the Delta Council Adult Literacy Program in Greenville, MS. The press conference was held to celebrate eight successful years of the Delta Council Adult Literacy Program changing lives in Northwest Mississippi. Also making remarks were Trina George, Mississippi State Director of USDA Rural Development, Dr. Connie Schimmel, Director of the Delta Council Adult Literacy Program, and Billy Percy, with the Delta Council Executive Committee.
“DRA is proud to have partnered with the Delta Council Adult Literacy Program for the past 8 years,” Chairman Masingill said. “A literate workforce is an employable workforce and programs like this increase the economic competitiveness of the region. Education and economic development go hand-in-hand and DRA will continue to work with our excellent partners to support effective programs that tackle economic distress in the Mississippi Delta region.”
In the Mississippi Delta region, approximately 40% of adults do not read well enough to fill out an application or read a food label. Through the Rural Community Assistance Program supported by a partnership between the Delta Regional Authority and USDA Rural Development, the Delta Council Adult Literacy Program combats illiteracy in 11 Northwest Mississippi counties. The program combines effective reading instruction with a one-on-one teaching strategy. The average student gains 2-4 grade levels in reading comprehension at the completion of 10 sessions. There are 35 local programs serving 145 adult participants with low literacy levels.
“The Delta Council Adult Literacy Program has had a tremendous impact on the lives of hundreds of Deltans over the past eight years by drastically increasing their literacy skills,” said Billy Percy, with the Delta Council Executive Committee. “We have been blessed with many partners who come together to make the individual programs throughout the Mississippi Delta successful, but none are more important than the Delta Regional Authority. Their focus on results and constant improvement has allowed the Adult Literacy Program to have a tremendous impact on Delta people and our communities. We appreciate Chairman Masingill for being a part of this special celebration and the work he and his staff do every day.”
“I look forward to continuing our successful partnership with DRA and Delta Council to raise reading levels in Mississippi,” said USDA Mississippi Rural Development State Director Trina George. “Because reading, writing and speaking are essential in our everyday lives, well-prepared adult learners are able to compete in today’s workforce and improve their quality of life. This program is one of many in the Mississippi Delta Region that is transforming the lives of families living in Mississippi’s rural communities.”

As objects grow more distinct it can be perceived that some strategic dispositions of the night are being completed by the French forces, which the evening before lay in the woodland to the front of t&e English army. They have emerged during the darkness, and large sections of them — infantry, cuirassiers, and artillery — have crept round to BERESFORD'S right without his suspecting the movement, where they lie hidden by the great hill aforesaid, though not more than half-a-mile from his right wing.

Could We See Snow Next Week?
No I don't think we have to worry about the trees, the grass, and all the snow on the ground like the picture shows just yet. Although, one Kansas City meteorologist says we might see some snow flakes as early as next week.
KCTV 5 Meteorologist Erin Little posted on her Facebook page that long range models are indicating that we could see some snow flakes next week. She goes on to stress by the way, that a million things could change the forecast over the course of the next week so snow lovers shouldn't get your hopes up.
The Old Farmer's Almanac for 2020, by the way, is predicting some rain that will turn to snow with cold temperatures the first week of November. Along with some snow showers in the middle of the month.
Last year the Kansas City area saw it's first snow when .2 of an inch of snow was recorded at Kansas City International Airport on Sunday October 14. That broke a 120 year record for the earliest snowfall in Kansas City. And that's not mentioning the 6.5 inches of snow that blanked the Kansas City area 22 years ago today. This according to the Kansas City Star.
Personally, the snow can stay away all winter long as far as I'm concerned. I'm dreading this snow season. For the first time since I was a high school kid living at my parents I have a drive way and a sidewalk to shovel. Not to mention I'll have to pilot my car up a hill to get off my street. It's probably time to head to the Walmart so I can buy a shovel and ice melt. Lots of ice melt.
So are you ready for the winter? Or would you prefer fall stick around for another few weeks?

A lot of these were taken in the car, although thankfully not while I was moving since I was in the driver's seat. People watch me as I roll down my window at stop lights to get a picture and they must think I'm mad.
My damaged camera is still holding up, although I'm having trouble getting clear shots, especially in low light. Several pictures this week looked fine on the display and then displayed fuzzy when I looked at a larger view. It's too bad too because the sky was pretty amazing.
My new camera should be arriving today, but I'm not sure how long it'll be before I start using it. I haven't used a SLR in more than a decade. I'm a little nervous.

Abstract : Forced running in a treadmill results in the instantaneous appearance of a synchronous EEG pattern in the dorsal hippocampus of the rat. A similar bioelectric response in the absence of movement is induced by physostigmine. Both responses are blocked with scopolamine. Lesions of the Medial septal nucleus abolished hippocampal theta induced by forced running or physostigmine.

Cubicin brought in more than $900 million in U.S. revenue for Cubist last year, but Merck's interest in the drugmaker goes beyond that antibiotic. Cubist has a pipeline of drugs under development that includes Zerbaxa, which targets complicated urinary tract and intra-abdominal infections.
The Food and Drug Administration is expected to make a decision on that drug later this month, and European regulators also are reviewing it.
With the Cubist deal, Merck is moving deeper into the treatment of so-called "superbugs" or antibiotic-resistant infections that are drawing growing concern from global health organizations. The infections are linked to 23,000 deaths and 2 million illnesses in the United States annually, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Cubist Pharmaceuticals, based in Lexington, Massachusetts, said Tuesday it believes it will be able to successfully appeal the federal court ruling, and that process should conclude well before June 2016.
The drugmaker already has an agreement with another generic drugmaker, Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd., in which Teva can start selling a generic version of Cubicin in December 2017 or June 2018. Teva will buy its U.S. supplies of Cubicin from Cubist.
Cubist said Tueaday that it still expects the Merck deal to close in the first quarter.
Nevertheless, investors appear to be unconvinced. Shares of Merck, based in Whitehouse Station, New Jersey, dropped more than 4%, or $2.76, to $59.12 Tuesday morning, while Cubist tumbled 4%, or $4.01 to $96.59. Meanwhile, the Nasdaq exchange slipped 1%.

I heard this term in an article elsewhere on the web, and I wondered how this is supposed to be illegal?
Does this mean to say someone is doing something wrong by offering as an investor less than FMV or appraisal to a seller? What if they accept? Sounds kind silly. But maybe they mean something else?
The only reference I can find is to mortgage lenders that take title, and make you a tenant. But the original term when I heard it was being applied to Investors.
It’s equity “Stripping” and unfortunately there are people (investors and lenders) looking to take advantage of homeowners forced into foreclosure. Because of the rise in home prices, many people in foreclosure still have significant equity in their home. Equity is the difference between what you owe on the home and the amount you can get from selling the home. For example, a homeowner with a house worth $150,000 who owes $80,000 on a first mortgage and $20,000 on a home equity line has about $50,000 in equity— which is the $150,000 home value minus the $100,000 in loans.
Foreclosed homeowners with equity need to watch out for scam artists who try to take all the equity from the homeowner. This is what is known as “equity stripping.” The scam works in a variety of ways, but it usually starts when someone promises the homeowners that he will solve all their problems and keep them in their home. The scammer promises loan money that never appears, or has the homeowners sign a lot of complicated papers. The end result often is that the homeowners end up owing more per month than before the foreclosure and are quickly forced out of the house. In most cases, the homeowners receive little or nothing for their home equity.
Here’s an example: On April 28, 2003, Attorney General Mike Hatch filed a lawsuit claiming that Home Funding Corporation (“HFC”) and other defendants “stripped” the equity from many Minnesota homeowners in foreclosure. The lawsuit states that HFC ran newspaper advertisements offering help, including loans, to homeowners in foreclosure. HFC, however, never really gave anyone a loan. Instead, homeowners were led to believe that they would get new financing, but actually were turned into renters and all of their home equity was drained by HFC or others.
Hope this answers your question.
Nothing I have to worry about then as far as buying subto at a discount.
Just make sure you are aware of your state’s regulations re foreclosures to be safe. They vary from state to state.
I intend to stay away from foreclosures. Besides everybody and his brother working them I do not think you can deal with the bank unless you have a lot of money, and 800 plus fico. Why would the bank go from one bad debt to potentially another one in their eyes?
I was looking at getting into Lease options or maybe subto. Gary do you have any recommendations?

Finally, our much awaited holidays to Kodaikanal took off on 1st October early morning at 1:00 am. Yes I know that’s crazy but I’ll tell you in awhile why it was a great idea to leave that early.
The four of us had a cup of coffee and took off from Kottayam at 1:00 am on Saturday Morning, taking turns to drive. The route from kumily to thenni is superb. Since it was night we did see some deers, langurs.porcupines and monkeys. We reached thenni at 6:20 in the morning and had a nice cup of tea from the roadside tea shop. Well I must say that shops in Tamil Nadu seem to open at 4:00 in the morning, much to our surprise. We started driving up the Kodai Road at 6:45 and reached kodaikanal at 8:00 am. The drive was great. The reason being, since it wasn’t hot at all, none of us got tired. We could roll down the windows and get real fresh air. Absolutely no traffic and no disturbance. It was a great journey from the start.
After hours of research and googling, we had reserved rooms at Dale Thorpe. It was definitely love at first sight! Great Place for a getaway. The service being outstanding. However, I would suggest that you have breakfasts there and have rest of your meals outside because of the variety of food available at kodaikanal. Read reviews of Dalethorpe here.
So, we had our breakfast of hot idlis, dosas and sambhar and decided to take a small nap for 2 hours before venturing out. At 12:30 pm we took our cameras and began our journey. Our first stop was the shopping area for a small round of shopping. It’s at the heart of the town, around the lake. Smile and Bargain. We stopped to have lunch at a small Tibetian Restaurant. Amazing food! Momos, Chicken Wings, Fried Rice, Noodles, Massaman Curry n everything chinese, tibetian and indian. It’s a rush during weekends because of tourists and the regular Kodaikanal College and school crowd. Its best to drop in between 12:30 and 1:00 or between 2:30 and 3:00. pm. They are open for dinner as well and its packed!!! Our best find was this shop called Pastry Shop, very close to BATA showroom. The gentleman who owns it is a man named Prasanna. He really lives up to the word gentleman. The Pastry Shop serves the most delicious brownies,cakes and truffles I have ever had! He gives away chunks just to taste. They are open from 11:30-5:30 everyday. This place is a must visit.
After satisfying our tummy, we set off to Coakers Walk for a nice walk. It is bestto go after 3pm if you want a nice romantic walk.History says that this 5 km hill-edge path way was identified by Er.Coaker in 1872. About a Kilometer from the lake, Coakers Walk runs along a steep slope on the southern side of Kodai. It offers some of the best views of the Plains. Entry fee is collected at Rs 10 per head here. On a cloudless, clear day one can have interesting sights, such as…. Dolphin’s nose in south, valley of the pambar river in South East, birds eye view of Periyakulam and even city of Madurai. One must be aware of a attractive happening called ‘Brachem Spectre’ which is when a very lucky person can see his shadow on the clouds with a rainbow halo, when sun is behind and cloud and mist is in his front. None of us were lucky enough :(. Another hotel to note here is Villa Retreat. A great hotel with a stunning view. We have noted it for our next visit here 🙂
We decided to end our first day with a drive around the lake. It was a nice lazy drive. After 7:00 pm, the shops slowly close down. The only people left are people on their evening walks, couples on their honeymoon and the locals. We headed back to the hotel and retired after a nice dinner of Chappathi, Chicken Curry, Fish Fry, Rice, Aloo Gobhi and sambhar.
Day two started early. We had a sumptuous breakfast and headed out to Berinjam Lake. This place is a must see. The Entry is right next to Pillar Rocks at Moir Point where per car is 300 Rs. Its best toThe road is narrow and tough mountain terrain within a dense forest area, but the view is worth it. The drive to reach the lake takes around 45 minutes.On the way to Berijam lake, you can stop at Silent Valley and Caps fly Valley, both of which are beautiful. Silent valley has a very enchanting and scary feel about it. There’s a sheer drop covered with mist that takes you straight to the pearly gates if you don’t watch your step. The kind of stuff painters love to draw. Wear good shoes in this trip. It’s very wet around Kodai and these are slippery mountain trails. There’s a small roadside attachment on the way called the ‘Berijam lake view’ further up where you can stop and take a look at the lake from above the mountains. It’s a breathtaking view.When you ultimately reach berijam lake, the first thing you come across is a barricade that keeps all the taxis and bus out. You go on foot from there. The lake is 25 Kms in perimeter. When you start walking, go about 100 metres and to the right there is a less travelled route to reach a nice part of the lake. It is an adventurous route and please beware of leeches. It bit two of us! There’s a signboard that say there’s a goverment rest house near the lake. The lake is a source of pure natural mountain water. There is a small shop that provides bread and omelets.I suggest you pick up something on the way so that you can have a picnic there.No boats or fishing but there are some tents and campers. Later the tents get taken down as it got darker. Maybe it gets too cold, or maybe it’s not permitted or safe at night. There is plenty of place to be alone in the wild if that is what you are looking for. The place is not crowded at all (like Kodai lake). It’s deep inside the forest and away from civilization. The forests around are dense and rich. There is a board listing panthers besides varieties of deer.To sum it up, it’s a very beautiful place to be alone and away from civilization for some time, but the road is not very easy. If you take the trip, the trouble is worth it.
On the way back from the lake,we stopped by at Pillar Rocks.The Kodaikanal Pillar Rocks are made up of three massive granite rocks whose heights extend up to 400 feet. Sited 8 km from the lake tower, tourists can obtain a spectacular bird’s eye view of the surrounding panoramic vistas.The cool, dark shadows of the Pillar rocks of Kodaikanal are a good place to picnic and relax at leisure, engulfed by the tranquil quietude. A small and beautifully tended garden, glowing in the colors of the seasonal blooms adds to the charm and the picture perfect beauty of the place. The rock pillars have hidden nooks and corners and cavernous chasms that exude an aura of mystery that delights all adventure enthusiasts.
It is interesting to note that there exists a small and enigmatic chamber between the two pillars that is appropriately named the Devil’s kitchen for its eerie ambiance.It’s now called Guna Caves after it was turned into a romantic kidnapper’s lair for a Tamil movie. Loud teenagers stand just outside the fencing around the cave, screaming angstful “Abiramiiiii!”s (name of kidnapped in said movie). It is said that locals come looking for a certain hallucinogenic ‘magic mushroom’ that gets them a good price from “Keralites and foreigners”. There is an entry, veiled by bramble, a path only some people know about. The rocks are loose and wobbly, the fluorescent green moss making everything slippery. Bats are shrieking from somewhere really south, and we, errr… are heading in the same direction. Someone is haggling for a kilo of carrots somewhere far above and it sounds warm and safe there. Inside Devil’s Kitchen, however, the air’s muggy, the walls smooth, with little shelves that look perfect for a perch. The guys with me chucked a pebble that was instantly swallowed by the darkness. We hear the plonk only after about 10 seconds, and a crash of wing flapping (of bats we jolted awake). We’d discovered fresh country by simply stumbling on it. This is the kind of place that teaches you to how important it is to have a firm footing.
Baffled by the experience and really tired, we decided to grab a bite. There is a place called Clouds End which is a cafe run by Tibetians. Do not go there!!! I am sayin this because they served stale food which they argued was nice!!!That took us to Pizza Corner back in the town. After lunch, we decided to cycle around the lake and do a bit of shopping. Cycling around the periphery of the lake is 5 km and take about an hour if you stop for shopping. We bought some knick knacks, some gifts for folks back home etc. Dinner was at The New Punjab Restaurant. Yummy food at great Prices. We took it back to our room to eat in front of the bonfire. Great food, a fire to keep you warm and a nice glass of port wine! What more could anyone ask for. We enjoyed our last night at Kodai, sad to be leaving next day.
We started back early next morning. By the time we reached the foothill it was blazing hot and we regretted not getting out earlier!! Which is why I said its best to travel really early in the morning.
Kodai will always hold a place in my heart coz I realised a lot of things at one shot during this trip. That’s another post 🙂
P.S- For all the chocaholics out there,like me. There is a shop right next to The Pastry Shop which is a SPice/Chocolate Shop. GO there for some yummy,gooey hot chocolate! Priced at 60 Rs per cup, its a must try!!!
Until next time, explore Kodai!

If you’ve been searching to find autism headphones, look no further! This post should help you gain a better understanding of autism headphones to help you choose the right ones for you!
So what’s the deal with autism headphones anyway? And what’s so special about them?
Why Autism Headphones?
People use autism headphones primarily because they have auditory processing challenges. I’ve discussed a variety of these sensory challenges in another post on autism toys, which you can find here.
For individuals with autism, the main point to keep in mind is this; the noise in a particular environment is way too aversive on some level. It could be the volume level, the pitch of the noise, or even the suddenness of it. But whatever that feature is, the point is that it’s too aversive to the individual.
So what autism headphones help to do is reduce the individual’s exposure to aversive stimuli. This is important because sometimes individuals with autism will need to go to places where there are aversive noises.
For example, at some point, your child will need to visit a salon or barbershop to get their grooming needs met. In those environments, there will some level of noise that your child needs to be able to cope with. So autism headphones can help individuals to tolerate the noise in those environments.
Understanding Sensory Issues
Understanding sensory processing issues is critical. If you have a child that displays high sensitivity to certain environments, it might be worthwhile to consider whether the sounds in that environment may be a contributing factor.
If noises are a contributing factor, that might just be the reason why going to certain environments evoke problems in your child. So it’s critical for parents to know what the contributing factors are to their child’s behavior. For noises, headphones can be helpful.
But if the noise is too aversive, understand that you’ll need more than just headphones. You’ll need to consider a plan for how to get your child acclimated to that environment.
As a therapist, I know that parents of autistic children need specific guidance, especially when it comes to helping their child adjust to problem environments. Knowing the importance of preparing your child to get acclimated, I’ve prepared a resource to help guide you toward independence and social integration.
In my eBook Navigating Autism Spectrum Disorder, I cover important topics such as:
- Learning how autism affects families at different life stages.
- How to assess your child’s functioning level.
- Learn what skills you need to focus on developing to prepare your child for independence and social integration.
- Understand how independence and social skills apply to real-life contexts.
Finding Autism Headphones
So with that, here are the top 5 autism headphones. Each has a specified decibel rating, so you’ll need to check each to see which best suits your child’s needs.
Autism Spectrum Ear Defenders Headphones
Noise Cancelling Headphones
Nebula Print Headphones
Foldable Noise Reduction Headphones
Blue Noise Reduction Headphones
