SANAA, Yemen (AP) � Forces loyal to Yemen�s embattled president attacked protesters calling for his ouster in a southern city today, injuring dozens, according to an opposition activist.
The latest violence comes as a proposal for President Ali Abdullah Saleh to step down appears increasingly doomed, raising prospects of more bloodshed and instability in a nation already beset by deep poverty and conflict.
Yemen�s unrest erupted more than two months ago. The near-daily protests against Saleh, the country�s ruler of 32 years, have demanded he relinquish power immediately.
Activist Nouh al-Wafi said presidential guard troops, controlled by Saleh�s eldest son, fired bullets and tear gas today on tens of thousands of protesters in the southern city of Taiz.
Al-Wafi said the protesters were rallying for Saleh�s ouster with a simple chant: �Leave!�
He couldn�t provide an exact toll of the injured but said dozens had gunshot wounds while scores suffered breathing difficulties. He said the troops prevented ambulances from getting to the wounded and that several people and local journalists were arrested.
Saleh agreed Saturday to a formula by the Gulf Cooperation Council for him to transfer power to his vice president within 30 days of a deal being signed in exchange for immunity from prosecution for him and his sons.
A coalition of seven opposition parties generally accepted the deal. But thousands yesterday remained in a permanent protest camp in part of the capital, Sanaa, and their leaders said they suspected the president is just maneuvering to buy time and cling to power, which he has done in the past.
The protesters also said the established opposition parties taking part in the talks with the council mediators do not represent them and cannot turn off the rage on the streets. They also insisted they would not accept anything short of Saleh�s immediate departure.
Saleh has managed to survive politically thanks in part to the loyalty of the country�s best military units, which are controlled by one of his sons and other close relatives, and despite wide defections by many close allies in his party, his tribe and the military.
More than 130 people have been killed by security forces and Saleh supporters since the unrest erupted in early February.
The GCC countries, including powerful Saudi Arabia, have been trying to broker an end to the crisis, fearing the potential backlash of more instability in the fragile country on the southern tip of the Arabian Peninsula that is beset by a resurgent al-Qaida.

Authors' Notes:
[1] Three quarters of all Japanese prewar immigrants to Brazil arrived between 1925 and 1935, while Japan was preparing for its military and territorial expansion in East Asia. In 1933, immigrants from Japan numbered 24,494 or 53.2 percent of all immigrants entering Brazil that year. In the late 1930s, the number of Japanese immigrants to Brazil sharply declined as Japanese emigration headed to Manchuria, China, and Korea. [2] Iva Ikoku Toguri left the U.S.A. without a passport. The State Department issued her ia Certificate of Identification which it said was sufficient to get her to and from Japan. When she applied to return to the U.S.A in Nov '41, she was refused because there was no evidence that she was an American citizen. When war broke out on 8 Dec following the attack on Pearl Harbor, she was stranded in Japan. Reluctantly, she agreed to broadcast for Radio Tokyo. GI's in the Pacific dubbed her "Tokyo Rose" After the war, she was taken into custody and brought to trial. On 6 Oct 1949, Iva Ikoku Toguri was sentenced to 10 years in prison and fined $10,000. She served less than half that time and was pardoned by President Gerald Ford. [3] There is no known official record that ARABIA MARU was ever re-rated to an ordinary transport. On the other hand, during the later stage of her career she was definitely employed as a troop carrier. [4] A Japanese source says 1,782 men were KIA. Thanks go to the late John Whitman. Thanks also go to Allan Alsleben for info in Rev 1. Bob Hackett and Erich Muehlthaler

Apparently, there is a verse in the Bible that says it is required of us to donate 10% of our earnings to God. Does this seem odd to any of you? It seems like all the evil cults out there require their members to do the same type of thing.

While the nation's job market is slowly warming up, the summer months might not be so hot for teen employment.
The last 12 months saw the country's unemployment rate drop from 9 percent to 8.3 percent, while Indiana's unemployment rate dropped to 8.7 percent.
As a kid, I remember two distinct smells emanating from Tell City's downtown. The first was the smell of wood and lacquer from Tell City Chair Co. The second was at Tell City Feed and Grain, where the odor of grain and soybean mill wafted over the area.
Agriculture has a bright future in Perry County and southern Indiana and it's not just corn and soybeans that will help drive profits on farms big and small.
An afternoon drive proved that truth for me Thursday, perhaps helped by the early spring all of us have been enjoying for weeks.

My name is Nikki Hawkins and I am a new member of the Red Cross team. I'm so excited to be a part of such an wonderful organization. Llynn Enmen, who has been a fantastic representative of the Red Cross for years, and I have had multiple discussions over the disaster preparedness in Perry County and we have decided that the best thing to do is to bring everyone together to have a discussion about where we want to go and how we are going to get there.
It's been a long time since I peeked in a woman's purse though I suspect women carry a plethora of things in their handbags. It's the same with men's wallets. In fact we all carry things with us, in our purses, wallets, glove boxes – who keeps gloves in glove boxes any more? – pants pockets and backpacks.

But the ode to the heroin overdose victim Layne Staley may never see the light of day...
PEARL JAM star EDDIE VEDDER has written a song about the death of ALICE IN CHAINS singer LAYNE STALEY – but it may never see the light of day.
Staley, who was 34, was discovered at his apartment in the University district of Seattle earlier this year (April 19) after police were called when nobody had seen him for a number of weeks. He died of a drugs overdose.
Alongside Nirvana and Pearl Jam, Alice In Chains were at the forefront of the mid-'90s grunge scene out of Seattle.
Staley was a founding member of the group with guitarist Jerry Cantrell, and had a well-documented battle with drugs throughout his career.
According to the official Pearl Jam website, Vedder has written the track, but it won't feature on their forthcoming album 'Riot Act', released in November. The posting says that the song will "probably not be released".

I have a mixed feelings on Japanese Anime as an American. See, my husband has been watching it so much, I am surprised when I hear English coming from my television. This is mostly because he has watched what was interesting to him that is available in English and has become bored. Bored because there is very little difference between stories. Oh, sure, there are some interesting stories now and then that are unique to the series, or to the movie. But in the end, our entertainment seems to be stuck in lockstep with story "beats" and formulaic storytelling. Hollywood and most American studios won't deviate from these because they make the most money.
I equate American television programming to junk food. The quality is minimal. It's cheap to produce. It's addictive and mindless. And it's utterly unhealthy and poisonous to entertainment 'diets' because little of it makes people think. Just like junk food makers, Hollywood won't stop making junk programming because the excuse is that it sells. Hollywood accounting, which really should be illegal, try their damnedest to make their productions lose money and thus drive up production costs to drive up profitability and excuses to bankrupt as many people related to them as possible.
Anyway. Anime. There are several classifications of stories in Anime, and you can often guess which it is by the art style within the first few minutes of the show/movie.
- Hair color – Look for the amount of "pink hair." Or other unnatural haircolors. If the story is more serious, you will have very little unnatural-colored hair. The only exceptions to this would be something more futuristic and the character is a punk/rebel/anarchist type. Distinctive hair colors and styles are generally used to identify characters. (They sometimes all look rather alike.)
- Eye sizes – The further from serious a story is, the more normal sized character eyes will be. Not that they will be 'natural' sized by any means. The Japanese animation style uses eyes for expressiveness.
- Women's breasts – I don't know if it's a cultural thing or the pervert-nerd-in-a-closet-now-animator fetish thing. The more serious stories generally will have a uniform breast size across all female characters appropriate for the characters' ages. The less serious, you get the range from the jealous flat-chested characters to the party-balloon heroines with the occasional dirigible-esque villains/sidekicks. (Also, the more animated the boobs, the less serious. Honest, there's more waves in some Anime breasts than a 9.0 earthquake in the ocean.)
- Women's clothes – There is a perplexing fascination with panties in Japanese Anime. I don't know if the culture spawned it and it's reflected in their entertainment, or the entertainment seeded it and it just blossomed. Nevertheless, schoolgirls wear skirts. The more serious (or female-audience-targeted, there are a few of those,) the longer the skirts and the less likelihood of seeing a girl's panties if she falls. Some skirt the borders of Japanese decency rules a LOT by not leaving a lot to the imagination, regardless of what is supposedly drawn to hide things.
Now, this isn't saying that everything is bad with Japanese Anime, even if I get rather tired of some of the more re-used storylines, which seems to be the "harem anime." These are stories usually with one guy and a bunch of girls around some central theme that varies from series to series. The guy is usually the meek, socially-awkward-around-girls, nice but utter-sexually-clueless sorts who, for gods know what reasons, has every female wanting him and all but throwing themselves at him. There is the occasional switch up with a central female who may or may not be meek and several males of assorted forwardness who eventually fall for her. This, I suspect, is something culture-centric around Japan that we don't see here. I don't pretend to understand it entirely.
What DOES fascinate me is how the Japanese will take historical facts, legends or myths, and change them up for their stories. We take such pains to be "accurate." There is only so far things will deviate, and we are fixated on being realistic. Even in the Marvel universe, the Norse mythology has been wrapped up in the blanket of the Asgardians not being gods, but extremely long-lived aliens and their magic is science that is so far advanced, it may as well be magic to us. I do like this! But I also see it as a crutch. When we do have magic in the real world, it is hidden and secret, the "real" reason behind historical happenstances. Everything must be explained with real or "real" science to allow its existence instead of just accepted.
In Japanese stories, they throw that all out the window. At the most, they will take a few key facts/details/descriptions of events, objects, or people, and then build an entire world that simply exists around it. (There is also a penchant to have all-female casts in some series, which just boggles the mind.) Schools where girls drive tanks and compete in tournaments between schools. (I kid you not, it's out there.) One series with humans and a human-like race who live underwater and the contention between the two groups. (It's interesting, but a tad confusing.) Worlds where magic is real, or science did/produced/something with X and dealing with that. They just do things and the audience just accepts that world's rules and enjoys the stories.
One series, Log Horizon, is about a bunch of people having gotten dropped into an online gaming world and instead of focusing on getting out, they focus on making a life there. (Waiting on the next season/story in the world.) It's actually pretty interesting. Another, which I term a reverse-harem anime, called Kamigami no Asobi, is about a Japanese girl dropped into a mock high school for several (male, of course) gods from a variety of mythos (Norse, Greek, Egyptian, Japanese) so the gods could learn more about humans and she was tasked to help them learn. It was rather cute, and interesting how they created the story.
There are others, but these two come to mind immediately. (Can find them on Crunchyroll.com if you're curious. Sorry, subtitled only.) Most of the others that I remember, when Christianity or elements of Christianity are in the story, do not treat Christianity kindly. With other religions or myths or such they mix up being good, neutral, or evil. Historical figures, generally the same. Mixed up whether they are good, neutral, or evil.
Now, while I don't think I will be rewriting myths to put in my stories, I do think that I may based some of my own societies and deities off our own with a few twists of my own. And I may just steal a few names because frankly, I have always rather liked some of them. It could be fun.

Wade reunion celebrated
The descendants of Owen and Cynthia Wade had a reunion at the Detroit Town Hall on Sunday, Aug. 23. This is the first time the family has gathered in several years, and another reunion is scheduled for Aug. 21 next year at the same time and place. The date of the reunion was chosen because Owen's birthday was Aug. 22, and the family used to gather together on the weekend closest to his birthday. The family hopes that next year's gathering will be better attended.
Those attending from Pittsfield were Lindle and Margie Wade, Brian, Holly and Peyton Wade, Lydia and Elyse Reel, Geoff, Jaclyn and Harrison Baker, and Leonard and Beth Wade; Dennis and Teresa Wade from Nebo; Scot Wade from Hannibal, Miss.; from Edwardsville were Jim and Karen Taylor, Mallory, Matt, Isaac and Leah Sidarous, and Steven, Elaina and Taylor Paradee; from Macomb were Lindsey, Adeline and Wesson Tedrow; Beth Johnson of Alsey; Richard Taylor of Winchester; and Sue Farmer of Arenzville.

The Fire Ball initially grew out of the dear departed Madison news website Dane101, which had a creative sideline in events. But the Fire Ball's winter bacchanal of freaky delights outlived the website itself, offering a distinctive mix of dress-up dance party, burlesque show, and bizarro circus. (It's strange to think now that it started partially as a youthful and more affordable response to the Overture's swanky annual Frostiball benefit.) Each year has had a different theme, and this one is "Apocalypse"—probably because it's the 10th and final installment, and maybe also other stuff. DJ Boyfrrriend will be spinning throughout the evening, and performers include the Cycropia Aerial Dance company, Strongman Tulga and Mr. Spring, bellydancers, and a range of burlesque acts. —Scott Gordon

Shades of Sunshine Quiltie swap/
I am sorting out the swapping part now and forsee sending these beautiful swapped quilties from all over the world home to their new owners later this week -always the exciting part! There is another quiltie swap going on currently on creative swaps due 11/29/08 with a theme of ~shades of the forest. We are really enjoying working on these color themes. Sign-ups take place on the creative swaps blog with PayPal payment in advance for shipping & handling.
To make my set of 5 quilties (1 extra for me to keep) I started with some very vibrant sunshine-y fabric I picked up at my local quilt shop as soon as I had the color wave set for this swap. There is a different bright orange daisy fabric on the back. I sewed paper images from ARTchix Studio's Pretty Bird Sheet on first, working with just the top fabric. Then I added a decorative leaf stitch in various patterns and differently on each quiltie. If you click on the scan above you will be taken to more photos of the 5 different quilties. I added sentences from the Her Words sheet (ARTchix) by gluing them in place with tacky glue - I love this sheet!
Still working with one piece of fabric, the top piece, I sewed on a variety of beads, a little differently on each quiltie. Then I added batting to the middle, added the back fabric and sewed the front & back fabrics together with a simple zig zag stitch in yellow, keeping the edges raw. I used glue again to attach gold sequin trim, yellow eyelet trim and various ribbons & trims. I finished the piece by threading a number of larger yellow & rosy pink beads onto a piece of waxed linen and attaching the string of beads to the quiltie by sewing it in place and letting it dangle.
The colours of this swap were calling me to work with them and I certainly enjoyed this creative exercise!

Like Dew among the Nations
Haftarah for Parashat Balak, Micah 5:6–6:8
David Friedman, UMJC rabbi, Jerusalem
This section is our only haftarah portion from the book of Micah, a contemporary of the prophet Isaiah. It is joined to our parasha by mention of Balak, the wicked Moabite king:
O my people, remember what Balak king of Moab devised, and what Balaam the son of Beor answered him, and what happened from Shittim to Gilgal, that you may know the righteous acts of the Lord. (6:5 ESV)
This short haftarah portion contains sharp chastisement of the people for their lax devotion to the Torah and to God. The Land was full of occult practices, sorceries, idolatry, and cultic pillars with their poles for pagan worship. God was incensed at such behavior, as it constituted a sweeping violation of the covenant relationship between him and the people of Israel. Micah notes that God had a legal "indictment" (6:2) against his people.
What God wanted seemed simple enough. The conclusion of Micah is direct and to the point:
He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God? (Micah 6:8 ESV)
Teshuvah, repentance, was needed on a national scale. In his conclusion, Micah does not differ from his contemporary, Isaiah, who also called the royalty, priests, and citizens of Judah to turn back to God and fulfill his Torah.
What interested me in particular as I read through the haftarah this week was its prediction of exile from the Land of Israel:
The remnant of Jacob shall be in the midst of the many peoples,
Like dew from the Lord, like droplets on grass. . . .
The remnant of Jacob shall be among the nations, in the midst of the many peoples,
Like a lion among the beasts of the wild, like a fierce lion among
Flocks of sheep, which tramples wherever it goes, and rends, with none to deliver.
(Micah 5:6a, 7 JPS)
This section seems out of place in a portion where God is upbraiding the people and calling for a national repentance. Suddenly we are told that when Israel is at its worst, and receives exile from the Land due to our errant ways, God will still use our people in the Diaspora for his purposes.
Micah uses a word to describe how this "remnant of Jacob" is placed in foreign nations: b'kerev. It literally means "in close", but carries the connotation of being right in the middle of the action, right in the midst of things, part and parcel of these nations. It is interesting that Danes and Bulgarians who helped save their entire Jewish populations during WWII often voiced the sentiment that "these people may be Jewish, but they are Danes, too," or "they are Bulgarians, too." It didn't always go that way for us, but in those two nations, Micah's words hit a note of reality.
When I think of Jewish history outside of the Land of Israel, I am hard pressed to think of our people being "like lions" overcoming our oppressors. Much more set in my mind are times like the Holocaust, the pogroms, the Crusades, and the Inquisitions, when we were running from our oppressors. To think of us being "like a lion . . . which tramples wherever it goes," I have to go back to the ancient Persian Empire where Mordecai and Esther led a state-sanctioned, successful armed Jewish uprising against our people's enemies to think of a time when our people seemed to fulfill what Micah stated.
Yet, I want to share a story I heard 30 years ago that helped me see the reality of what Micah states here. I spoke with an elderly Polish woman in Warsaw who fought with the Armie Krajowa (the Polish Home Army) against the Nazis during WWII. She served as a military nurse and she tried to sneak food and medical supplies into the Jewish ghetto as part of her mission. She told me that even though she knew that Israel was the home of all Jewish people, she loved the fact that there were so many Jewish people living in pre-war Warsaw. Nearly one third of the city was Jewish then, leading to its moniker, "The Polish Jerusalem." Jerusalem Avenue still today is one of Warsaw's main boulevards. "I feel like we've been robbed," said a Polish graduate student to me once. "Where once there were so many Polish Jews, so much a part of this nation, now there's just a huge hole," he sadly told me.
My elderly Polish friend shared with me how the presence of many Jewish people changed Poland forever, giving it an exposure to, and appreciation of, so many things that otherwise would have been lost on it. She shared how the Jewish community's keeping of Shabbat taught the Polish people about holiness and devotion. In fact, in modern Polish, the word for Saturday is "Sobota". Guess where that word came from?
She talked about how the recitations of the Shema that were heard from the lips of Polish Jews so impressed Poles. They saw that no matter what the circumstances, Poland's Jewish community was resolved to be faithful to their loving God. "When the Nazis shot Poles in the streets, they cursed at the shooters. When the Nazis shot your people in the streets, they had the words of the Shema on their lips," she said to me.
Scholarship, music, the arts, education, the military, and medicine were all areas where Polish Jews contributed much to Polish history. And then she ended her talk with me by saying, in a most gracious way: "To you, it seems like a punishment that your people were here for so long, 1,000 years; but for us in Poland, your people were such a blessing to us, and gave us so much!"
As I read Micah's words, that we would be as "dew from the Lord, like droplets on grass," I thought of what this dear woman stated. In Israel, dew appears on our grass every morning during the summer season. Without it, our plants would surely die. Rainfall doesn't start up again until October at the earliest, so dew is necessary to life in summer, and appears as a daily gift. This woman was telling me that the presence of Jewish people, as Micah foretold, was like "dew" to her Polish nation. Our presence gave life. Although Micah's depiction of our people being lions did not happen there, the depiction of dew certainly did.
Even if our Diaspora presence has been unappreciated throughout history (and it's no exaggeration to say this), God still used our presence to shine his reality to the host nations: Jacob shall be among the nations, in the midst of the many peoples, like dew from the Lord (5:6a). Wherever Jacob's descendants went, God went as well. Perhaps this is what Micah is telling us. This truth encompasses many nations throughout Diaspora history, in Europe, in Africa, in the Middle East, and in the Americas. Today, as a result of our Diaspora history, some 35 different languages are spoken in Israel today!
I can only wonder how many other people would say similar things to what my Polish friend said about the Diaspora Jewish presence in their lands. I was grateful to this dear woman for her encouraging words.
And I can now see that Micah was spot on: "The remnant of Jacob shall be among the nations, in the midst of the many peoples, like dew from the Lord." Right in their midst, bringing the Presence of God. Was this the ideal? No, it was not. But again, God used what happened for the good of many peoples.

What is A HUD Home Anyway???
July 13, 2009
You may have seen the signs on street corners and at neighborhood entrances announcing "HUD Home for Sale". These rather "governmental" looking signs often stir up curiosity and in many cases concern in the community. With the tremendous volume of foreclosures in Gwinnett, these have been popping up everywhere! Because of that, many people have asked me to explain, so here you go.
Be not afraid of the HUD home. When people ask me "What is a HUD home?", I often ask them what they think it is. The answer I get most is section 8, government subsodized, low income or similar. While I understand how people have come to think that, it is simply not true. Are you ready?? Here it is…straight from HUD.
"A HUD home is a one-to-four unit residence acquired as a result of a foreclosure on an FHA insured mortgage." from HUDPEMCO Agent Guidebook
See? Nothing to fear. Hud homes can be found in any community which has had an FHA insured mortgage go "back to the bank" in this case, the Federal Government by way of HUD (US Department of Housing and Urban Development). In most Metro Atlanta counties, the FHA loan limit is $346,250.00. This means that most homes commonly in the mid $300's and below can be mortgaged using FHA. So, HUD homes can be extremely varied in price, location and condition. Did you know that 60% of Georgia HUD inventory is located in Metro Atlanta? Actually, my experience has been that HUD homes are typically better secured and lawns better maintained (monthly) than many bank held properties (but that's another post for another day). HUD may not come in and make the house pretty, but effort is made for health and safety's sake.
As is customary for foreclosures, HUD homes are sold on an "AS IS" basis. HUD is committed to providing "safe, secure and marketable" properties. HUD pricing has been adjusted with the consideration of current area market performance and condition of property. With this in mind, they will not agree to repair cosmetic items, however issues directly relating to safety are usually corrected.
Anyone can buy a HUD home, even investors. HUD properties can be viewed by anyone at their official site, however offers can be submitted only by working with a HUD-Registered real estate agent. During the initial offering phase, owner occupants are given first option when bidding on a HUD property. Also, there is a Good Neighbor Next Door Program which provides assistance for those who serve our communities as firefighters, EMT's, police officers, and teachers Pre-K through grade 12.
So, tell your friends, tell your family and, if you're looking to buy in Gwinnett, Hall, Barrow or Jackson – tell ME! I'll be happy to show you a great HUD home, today!
Comments and questions are welcomed and appreciated!

No Pain Breast Feeding
Breast feeding is one of the best gifts a mother can give her baby and to herself.
For many mothers breast feeding does not come easily in spite of their best intentions to breast feed before the baby is born.
These days mother and baby are discharged from hospital often before a proper breast feeding routine is established and adequate support is provided and end up with traumatised nipples which causses a great deal of pain and frustration and before two weeks.
No Pain breast feeding is the norm not the exception.
Some mums have given up breast feeding because of this and then feel a sense of failure because they have been unable to breast feed.
With the right support they should not be in any pain or discomfort at all and only a draining sensation.
If the mother experiences pain during breast feeding she should seek early help so she can achieve what is best for her and baby.
This can be from a child health nurse, midwife, lactation consultant, Australian Breastfeeding Association or click on this link to go to my website at http://kidskonsultant.com.au/ for personal help.
I see many tearful mothers who are experiencing difficulties with attachment and milk supply and sometimes it only takes a simple adjustment to be able to latch the baby onto the breast and mum is able to breastfeed without any pain.
Seeking out an experienced Lactation Consultant can certainly help the mum to continue and enjoy breastfeeding her baby.
Breast milk is designed to provide optimal brain development and growth for your baby.
It is human milk designed for human babies, it increases your baby's I.Q. and provides immunity from many infections and diseases.
It can help avoid diabetes, asthma, moderate eczema, obesity and chest infections to name a few and meets all your baby's nutritional requirements until six months when solid food is introduced.

Players who have had the ability of the prior variants of this game might find it too difficult understanding why earning era of empires on the web will upset many older players. This match has been initially developed more than 13 decades past, and also the exact same variant has been played now by its own main fans.
The overall game which good and incredibly well made is going to have a downturn in line with the fans. I presume certainly one of the primary reasons that this match has lasted way too long is that it brings the toys of several boys and a few girls to lifetime. Having the capability to control and move a complete army and respective soldiers, create them go over the map and then chop and hack will catches the child-hood imagination bringing the overall game of toy soldiers .pixel car racer hack ios
The images of Age of Empires perhaps not the internet version are all great, so their awareness of detail handles to catch the finer aspects of this early soldier's armour, it glitters and shines because it will. When it's a bow-man pulling on the strings of his bow, then a foot solider drifted round the map and drawing on his sword ready for conflict or perhaps the pike guys hastened inside their own defence using their pikes since they shield off the coming horses that the images with the match and the match play with a lot of men and women think just perfect.
Age of Empires on the web should you've observed the very first published video with the soon to become on the web game product that you may possibly feel exactly the exact same when I, it seems to become an great game, I must admit lots of idea in altering the overall game when keeping it appearing just as far as possible as the originals has become it.
The greatest noticeable shift and one which has began to mad a number of the oldschool fans of this game would be the stunning shift in the way the images are all delivered. An Entire revamp has era of empires on the web appearing such as a Cartoon, that we think is just a really excellent movement with respect to promotion and also notably new clients yet to be a believer with the fantastic set of Games.
I'm pretty certain when the programmers were designing their own idea because of match their primary priority was to help you to catch as wide as a viewer since possible, the just starting to dwindle fans with the match wouldn't be enough to produce it much as a victory as you can.
It can not possibly be the accession to continue on the string that the long awaited 4th inclusion by a lot of the buffs, however after watching the demonstration and registering for the beta version that I am aware that it won't be a long time until that match is just one of the main hits from the gambling world.
A few portions of this period of empires on the web game you are going to know and possibly encounter already by playing with other games that are big on the web. Players are going to have the ability to initiate the sport by establishing their city and town, but quite similar to many others whenever you've experienced enough and close down the game your town and tools will probably continue growing.
There are far more in game choices to learn for example tackling adviser's that then will offer your state more set of power and resources all around. Since you branch out and learn more about the map you'll discover you can find treasure customs to be manufactured and can even aid your own nation and respective landscapes as well as also men.
I discover the images great I wouldn't call it a marked advancement therefore substantially being a development like I felt as though that I had been commanding Cartoon War Soldiers the armour doesn't glow as the last models but appears awesome yet. You may discover even though nevertheless hailed as a real-time strategy game some thing brightens up and slowed up at how in which the match is played, more than adequate.
If you're one of those old school players give era of empires on the web an opportunity you can observe it conveys exactly the exact same greatness and a great deal longer as the map and game extends net.

Philippians 4:1-4
"I entreat Euodia and I entreat Syntyche to agree in the Lord."
Paul's statement is an expression of concern over the conflict between two women in the church of Philippi. Paul does not provide any reason for the division just a plea for the two women to heal the breach in their relationship. The basis for this exhortation flows directly from his description of the believers in Philippi.
Twice, Paul declares his love for this church. He longs to see them because they are his joy and crown. The Greek word Paul uses for crown is not a king's crown but a wreath placed on the head of the participants in a wedding and its feast. Paul is doubling down on the expression of his delight in this group of people. It is as if he is saying "You are my crowning joy."
It is important to notice Paul's command to "stand firm thus in the Lord" and his plea for these women to "agree in the Lord." The women's relationship to Christ is the reason for his delight in them and the desire for their agreement. Paul's first command is in Philippians 1:27, "Let your manner of life be worthy of the gospel of Christ, so...I may hear of you that you are standing firm in one spirit, with one mind striving side by side for the faith of the gospel." His second command is in Philippians 2:2, "Complete my joy by being of the same mind, having the same love, being in full accord and of one mind."
In both of these instructions, Paul is contending for the unity of the church. Notice how many times in those two verses, he uses the terms "one" and "same." Unity of the body of Christ is a theme of Paul's in virtually all of his letters. Romans 4 describes the church as one body with many members. In 1 Corinthians 10, while describing Jesus as the bread we all eat, he says, "We who are many are one body, for we all partake of the one bread." Galatians 3 says, "There is neither Jew nor Greek...slave or free...male or female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus." So, the disagreement between these two women runs counter to the unity of body for which Paul always contends.
In verse three, Paul instructs a "true companion" to help heal this wound in the body of Christ. He is asking this person to be a peacemaker as Jesus described in Matthew 5:9, "Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God." I have often wondered if this conflict reminded Paul of his disagreement with Barnabas in Acts 15:36-40. Did he wish there had been a peacemaker at that time in their lives? Have you ever been in a similar situation and hoped for one? Are you aware of a division in the body of Christ that needs a peacemaker? Is the Holy Spirit calling you to stand firm in the breach to reconcile two of the Father's children?
Our God and Father, forgive us for not being as concerned for the bride of Christ as You are. Holy Spirit, please give us clarity to see where You would have us be a reconciler. May we never be the reason for division in Christ's church. Jesus Christ, thank You for including me in Your body. I will endeavor to live in a manner worthy of Your Gospel.

Sarah Harrison — Sleep Coach & 500 E-RYT Yoga Teacher
"I had periodic insomnia for 11 years before I released the stress of a life pulled in too many directions, gained clarity on what helps my body reset each night, and stepped into a balanced life including yoga. Suddenly I slept great.
One step at a time I studied sleep science, yoga and heart-centered relaxation, and from this union (sleep science + yoga) created ReST (Restorative Sleep Therapy). In 2008 I opened Inner Truth Yoga, a boutique sleep coaching and restorative yoga studio in downtown Vancouver where I supported people like you to reset their body's sleep response.
Called to support people in living their balanced inner truth, my heart's asked me to return to full-time sleep coaching. I'm now travelling teaching workshops on yoga for sleep, sleep coaching in-person and online.

I look forward to helping you to assess your sleep, release what does not serve you, and reset your body's sleep response so you can relax into the Rest you were born knowing how to have."

Are you currently working on a budget and attempting to pull off a memorable wedding? If this is the case, you will want to consider relying on awesome and affordable wedding centerpieces. Remember that it is your wedding and you do not have to spend lavishly, in order to please everyone else. As long as you and your significant other are happy, your wedding will be wonderful. Within this guide, I will provide you with some ideas for an assortment of affordable wedding centerpieces.
Form a Budget
First, you shouldn't worry about the centerpieces right away. Instead, it is vital to begin formulating a budget! Your budget is absolutely vital and will provide you with a good foundation. Your budget will allow you to remain realistic, without overspending. In the same sense, the budget can help to quickly eliminate items that are out of your range! Although it can be a little time consuming, it is definitely worth it to set a budget and stick with!
Speak With The Venue
Wedding centerpiece can be expensive, especially if you are going to be having a lot of people at the wedding. Did you know that some wedding venues have centerpieces that they can offer you? Before you go out and spend tons of money on centerpieces, be sure to speak with the venue manager where you are hosting your wedding and see what kinds of centerpieces they have to offer. Keep in mind that there may be a fee associated with the use of these centerpieces. You should also look at these centerpieces ahead of time, because there may not be enough of them, and they may not be what you are looking for. However, if they are what you are looking for, then this is going to save you some money that you can spend elsewhere.
Cotton Candy Centerpiece
Who doesn't love the delicious taste of cotton candy? Cotton candy taste good, looks great, and can bring back tons of memories, which is why it makes the perfect centerpiece. All you need to do is get a few clear glass vases, and insert some small cotton candy sticks inside the vase. Don't forget that you can even have the cotton candy customized to match the theme colors of your wedding. The best thing about this little centerpiece is that you can offer it to your guests at the end of the event. The kids will really love this.
Create your Own Beautiful Bottles
When attempting to put together affordable centerpieces, you shouldn't rush out to the store. Instead, you should take the time to look around your home. By looking in your cabinets, trash and storage, you might be able to find some items that can be used! You're probably thinking that I am crazy, but this is entirely real! All you need to find is some cool bottles. As long as the exterior design and shape of the bottles are cool and stylish, you're well on your way to a beautiful centerpiece!
After this, you might need to run down to the store, but you might be lucky enough to have what you need in your tool shed. You're going to need some type of spray paint. It is possible to use any color, but I recommend silver! Of course, if your wedding scheme has purples or some other colors, you can choose a spray paint color that matches. After this you will need to take the bottles and paint to an outdoors area and paint the bottles.
Once the bottles have been painted, you can put them into your centerpiece and decorate them a little further. Using flowers or pinwheels are excellent options. Either way, the bottles will be very beautiful and nobody will know about your creative tactics.
Flowers That Are In Season
Just about every bride will have her heart set on using flowers in her wedding centerpieces. This can be expensive depending on the types of flowers that you want to use. One thing to keep in mind is that by taking advantage of the flowers that are in season, when you are having your wedding, you will save yourself a bit of money.
Also, don't be afraid to use cheaper blooms like Calla Lilies, or Baby's Breath. These are 2 amazing blooms of flowers that will look great in wedding centerpieces. Another great thing is that you can find these types of flowers around just about anytime of year. If you're able to head outside and grab flowers for your centerpieces, you will be able to save a great deal of money! Be sure to take this into account, when designing your centerpieces with flowers.
The French Bouquet Centerpiece
If you want to impress your guests with your artistic skills, you should do it by creating your own wedding centerpieces. This robust wedding centerpiece will leave your guests in awe and leave you with a smile on your face. Of course, you will need to collect your supplies first, but after that you will be ready to start assembling this fabulous centerpiece.
• 36" Flute vase
• 2 ¼" round cage floral foam
• Twisted vine twigs
• Pink and white roses
• Variety of orchid breeds
• Clear tape
The first step is to place about 3-4 twigs and pink rose petals into the vase, but avoid stuffing them in just make sure that they look natural. Take the floral cage and start filling the outer edges with the pink and white roses, but make them look uniform in color and design. Leave the center of the cage open for the orchids.
You want the orchids to stick out above the roses about 4-5 inches. Go ahead and cut them to about 6" in length, this should leave you enough length to stick into the foam. Fill the center of the foam with the orchids and then add 2 twigs to the orchid center, but leave it sticking out about 4" higher than the orchids. Place the foam down into the vase and secure it with clear tape, while trying to keep it hidden from view.
When purchasing the cage floral foam, be sure that it will fit into the top of the vase, but you may have to take your vases into the party supply store with you so you are able to get the accurate size. If the floral foam can be seen, you can also add more flower buds into the vase. Just secure the vase to your reception table for your guests to enjoy.
Over the years, I have attended a large number of weddings. Although expensive wedding centerpieces are absolutely beautiful, there are some affordable wedding centerpieces that are just as special! With this in mind, I have provided you with a bunch of different examples and ideas above. Hopefully, you already have an idea of what you want at this point!

Photos: Record-breaking bridges Most photographed bridge – San Francisco's Golden Gate Bridge was the longest and tallest suspension bridge in the world when it was completed in 1937. Since then, those records have been surpassed by numerous other bridges but with 10 million camera-toting visitors a year, the Golden Gate Bridge is by far the most photographed. Hide Caption 1 of 10 Photos: Record-breaking bridges Longest suspension bridge – Japan's Akashi-Kaikyo Bridge spans 2.43 miles and connects the city of Kobe to Awaji Island. Also called the Pearl Bridge, because it is said to resemble a beautiful string of pearls, the bridge is lit up in different seasonal or festive colors throughout the year. It is built to withstand earthquakes (a 7.2 magnitude earthquake hit in 1995), consistently strong tidal currents (9 knots), and wind gusts up to 179 mph.Hide Caption 2 of 10 Photos: Record-breaking bridges Longest inhabited bridge – Krämerbrücke -- "Merchant's Bridge" --located in Erfurt, Germany, is a stone arch bridge dating back to 1325. The ground floors of most houses have been converted to antique and craft shops while the upper floors are still used as private residences. Hide Caption 3 of 10 Photos: Record-breaking bridges Longest floating bridge – At 7,709 feet long, the Evergreen Point Bridge, which carries traffic across Lake Washington in Seattle, is the world's longest floating bridge -- it relies on more than 70 concrete pontoons.Hide Caption 4 of 10 Photos: Record-breaking bridges Longest covered bridge – When the cover of the Hartland Bridge -- which crosses the Saint John River in New Brunswick, Canada -- was built in 1921, it attracted controversy. Locals feared that the dark tunnel would spell disaster for the morals of the town's younger population. At 1,282 feet long, it is both the world's longest covered bridge and a National Historic Site of Canada. Nowadays, it is much loved by locals and no longer a cause for concern. Hide Caption 5 of 10 Photos: Record-breaking bridges Longest rail bridge – China takes the title for the longest rail bridge -- in fact the longest bridge of any kind -- with the 102 mile Danyang--Kunshan Grand Bridge. Opened in 2011, it connects Shanghai to Nanjing along the Beijing-Shanghai High-Speed Railway.Hide Caption 6 of 10 Photos: Record-breaking bridges Longest ice bridge – The Beaufort Sea Road in Alaska is the world's longest ice bridge.

A couple of weeks ago, we had a lovely lunch at a little cafe called Gourmet Plus on Frankel Avenue. It's a small little cafe set on a residential road just off East Coast Road. What was particularly nice that afternoon was it was raining so seated outside under a canopy having a leisurely lunch was just chilling!
Food, not bad. I wouldn't say fantastic but on a scale of 1 to 10, I'll put it around 6 or 7.
Salad with feta cheese – I must admit the quality of the feta was fab and toasted bread was nice and crispy on the outside and still soft on the inside. A very clever idea charcoal toasting the baguette…. really nice touch.
The sphegetti aglio olio was marvelous with generous quantities of slivered garlic though the chilli could have been a tad more aggressive IMHO and the mussel quality was fab; plump, fresh and juicy. All washed down with a glass of house wine of which both the white and red were very respectable (they have a choice of two varieties).
They don't seem to have a website so for your convenience:

News in Brief
Researchers Learn More About Alzheimer's
Frank LaFerla, associate professor of neurobiology and behavior and his team of researchers, have discovered the molecular trigger that sets off memory loss in mice that have been genetically engineered to develop brain lesions associated with Alzheimer's disease.
'Beta amyloid' is the protein that accumulates in neurons in the mice's brains. Healthy brains are able to clear excess amounts of 'beta amyloid,' but brains with Alzheimer's disease cannot handle the accumulation of the protein.
This discovery will help researchers find therapies that will halt Alzheimer's disease.
