I'm looking for a uplifting video of a man kneeling in the woods, next to a body of water. The man is 50ish, white, and talks about how he's traveled America and he sees that Americans are good where ever you go. He has a folksy way of talking, much like Mike Rowe. The video is several years old and seems to have disappeared. Can anyone point me in the right direction to find this video and possible other videos by the same man.

Caldwell Junior High's Caydence Wilson suffered the burns at the middle school, and her mom, Chloe Couch, shared her daughter's injuries Sunday morning in a post to social media. The post was quickly shared by people perturbed by what they saw, with some of the images incredibly tough to look at.

Hebrews 10:23--23 Let us hold fast the profession(confession) of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;) Hebrews 4:14--14 Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession(confession).

Amid some already-historic changes around college football that include major conference realignment and an expanded playoff format, some interested parties are proposing another structural change to the sport: a so-called "Super League," according to The Athletic. The group calls itself College Sports Tomorrow. Composed of sports executives, university presidents, and at least one NFL official, it has a plan: Take the 70 most important programs in college football, including every Power Five school and Notre Dame, and name them as permanent members of a national league.

… What is the value in the coming spectacle, beyond oohs and aahs? Perhaps it is in the dramatic demonstration that we are all, regardless of our divisive politics and cultural strife today, riding the same floating sphere, one among countless of them, some of which line up in random but beautiful ways from time to time. Democrats and Republicans alike will look up together in fascination on Monday. It will be a bipartisan moment of galactic proportions. The eclipse's path will take it far north of Washington, D.C. That's too bad. If there's any crowd that needs reminding of...

Tatar, not recognized as a head of state by the international community, also suggested that Azerbaijan, Bangladesh, and Pakistan may soon recognize the north.

A San Francisco supervisor wants to require grocery stores to provide six months of notice before closing a location A San Francisco lawmaker introduced a proposal that would require grocery stores in the city to provide six months of notice before closing a store and to explore a replacement supermarket at the vacated location. Dean Preston, a member of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors, introduced what he calls the Grocery Protection Act – which is based on a proposal the board approved in 1984 that was vetoed by then-San Francisco Mayor Dianne Feinstein.

CNN — Excited eclipse watchers, watch out: Weather could complicate attempts to see the epic astronomical phenomenon in parts of the Southwest. Clouds and storms could hinder the ability to see the eclipse in its full glory in several spots along the path of totality — where the moon will completely block out the sun. The most ideal weather for the eclipse will likely occur in two general areas: from Vermont through Maine, as well as Missouri through southern Indiana. Only a few isolated clouds are expected for these areas, which should not prevent optimal eclipse viewing. So get...

Slide Back Into the Game!Reviewed in the United States on October 12, 2011 I knew getting back in the "dating game" would be a challenge after being out of it for over 5 years. When I was released from Joliet, I had to learn all the new things "the dating crowd" was trying. I knew about scented candles and Luther Vandross CDs, and sure was glad to hear people still use them. But I had no idea that "lube" was so popular with the "romantics" out there. All it took was one stroll through the Walgreens personal hygiene aisle to...
