Please continue praying for God to soften my x-husbands heart and that God severs the relationship he has with this other woman. He is a pastor and the church has done nothing to him for divorcing me because most of the people there are divorced. Our divorce will be 2 yrs. on Feb,19, he won't even talk to me. I believe it's God's will for us to be together and for our family. I really need a miracle for God's glory and the testimony it would be to so many. Thank you

I am 34 and have been fasting and praying for God to send me a husband for a very long time. I have kept myself pure and have been patient in the Lord.I want a family and finding myself becoming hopeless that I wont get married. I am lonely and have no family or relationships to encourage me. I am finding myself desperate in asking for pray for a miracle in having a husband to share my life with and a family. I know marriage is hard work but I also know its rewarding in the end and powerful when 2 come together and love like Christ loved the church. Please pray with me that God will open doors for me to have a family and a husband. also on the side note. I own a business and praying God will increase my clientele so I can continue to pay my bill while helping others.
November 17, 2014
Please pray for guidance and patience for both of us as we figure out if we can/should move forward in our relationship. May God remove the barriers and apprehensions if it is his will. Thank you.
November 17, 2014
Please pray for a new relationship.Pray that gods will be done and that he leads us right.
November 17, 2014
Please pray for my marriage. Addiction is taking away our relationship - especially my husband. Alcoholism and other drugs are changing him. Please pray that my husband seeks the Lord rather than external garbage. I want my husband back - I want our marriage right with God. Thank you and may God bless you!

I use Hodgson Mill cornmeal because it has a slightly larger grain and works well for this recipe. It is also non gmo! I based this recipe on the recipe on the back of the bag. Using a non old fashioned grain will make the final result a little more dense. The garbanzo bean flour helps it stick together without using an egg.

1. Misleading prices. Once you have gone through the very time-consuming process of designing and ordering you will find the actual price is ten times the original price you expected.
2. The print/paper quality of the products was a joke. Mine went straight into the bin. I would be embarrassed to give them to my customers.
3. Afterwards you will be bombarded with their spam emails.
4. Most disturbingly you will be sent fake invoices. It would be very easy to accidentally pay one. I expect the company makes much of its' revenue this way. I can't imagine they do much repeat business!
Don't be fooled, avoid like the plague!!!!!

Jenelle Evans, Nathan Griffith in EPIC Screaming Match: See the Video!by Free Britney at . Updated at . Comments
Pregnant Teen Mom 2 star Jenelle Evans and the father of her unborn child, Nathan Griffith, were recently recorded having an argument of epic proportions.
In an intense screaming match with f-bombs flying left and right, the parents-to-be yell at each other and exchange insults for nearly two minutes.
Why, you ask, did things boil over this badly?
The pair was furious with each other after Jenelle Evans apparently caught Nathan Griffith talking to his ex-girlfriend behind her back (here we go again).
"I don't want to be with you," Griffith yells, repeatedly telling her to "get the f--k out" of their house, claiming she is a "f--king b--ch" to her son and more.
He also concedes he's in trouble with the "f--king law" and "catches hate" on Twitter because of her, an accusation the reality star doesn't take kindly to.
The grainy video was shot on her phone in the last week of January when she was four months pregnant ... and they're still together. So they made up?
Still, you gotta wonder about the health of this relationship. Transcript below ...
Nathan Griffith: Dude! I have to be in trouble for five years just because you are Jenelle Evans. I get in trouble with the f--king law.
Jenelle Evans: Oh I'm sorry, you break the law and it's your fault.
Nathan: Dude check it out. I haven't been in trouble for 5 years. I catch hate on f--king Twitter and f--king Facebook because you're Jenelle Evans I have to put up with that shit. GET THE F--K OUT!
Jenelle: Whatever see I can't even talk.
Nathan: I don't want you to. I don't want to be with you.
Jenelle: Then leave me alone.
Nathan: GET THE F--K OUT.
Jenelle: Leave me alone.
Nathan: GET THE F--K OUT!
Jenelle: Get the f--k out of my face.
Nathan: I don't have to because this is my house, not yours. It's my f--king house!
Jenelle: Yeah, whatever, even though that's my bed, that's all my s--t in the kitchen.
Nathan: TAKE IT! LEAVE!
Jenelle: The only thing you have is two couches dude, that's all you have.
Nathan: Leave, please. Guess what Jenelle? I've done it since 18 and my life hasn't been handed to me since I been 16 b--ch.
Jenelle: Ok and?
Nathan: Like I said, you put up with so much s--t that you don't see the s--t you do wrong. It pisses me off.
Jenelle: I didn't do anything wrong.
Nathan: You f--king lie and you f--king be like ok , maybe I did have the story backwards and then you say, 'You're interrupting!' You act like a f--king b--ch to your kid. You don't grow the f--k up dude!
Jenelle: You got mad because I said, 'You're interrupting me can you please stop?' And you're like 'You're lying, you're lying, you're lying' and you flipped out! You're yelling now for no reason.
Nathan: I'm yelling now because you're an annoying b--ch.
Jenelle: You can yell but I can't? You're allowed to yell but I can't?
Nathan: You stop.
Jenelle: You can yell but I can't?
I really wonder why nobody, like doctor Drew.. Just dont get a stopper on them. Isnt he a therapist? I thought that he was going to help them.. get some help and advice and some directions in life. What we are watcing is child abuse. He (kid) is cought in a midle of screeming and fights. and no addult is stopping this.. The kid will have a hard time growing up. I think that they( the evans) should be takeing off the show. And get some serious help. This is not entertainment! But child abuse!
Comment modified at
how can she think of having another kid, she always have and will continue to be a fuck up. she deserves to be in jail she cant stay off drugs, she let men suck her dry like her own mom said. she doesnt pay attention to jace but has all the time in the world to chase men. she is the most disrespectful girl ever shown on teen mom, she is unappreciative towards her mom. what a waste of flesh, feel sorry for her kids.
Wow Janelle was calm for once. I guess she has changed. As for Nathan your an idiot. You wanted to get this girl pregnant 2 months after meeting her. You can't get mad at her because she's Janelle Evans as you say. Your the one sounding immature.

I have a website homepage which has clickable links.
On top of this homepage I have a black background div with a logo. The idea is for the black div and logo to fade - this I've done. However I also need this div to shrink after its faded so I can click the links below, and that's where I am having difficulty. Can anyone point me to a tutorial or example of how to fade and then shrink a div?
Thanks in advance.

There's no easier and more affordable way to get started on electric guitar than this value-filled Squier® set. Opening this box opens a whole new musical future for you, with a great-sounding, cool-looking and easy-playing Affinity Series™ Strat® guitar, a compact 10-watt Fender Frontman® 10G amp to plug it into and all the accessories you need, including an electronic tuner, instructional DVD, gig bag, cable, strap and picks.

I just bought the Strat® by Fender® and I have to say that it is such a great guitar. I would definitely recommend this product. Even though it is a guitar that has not been made in California, I have to say that it achieves a high quality standard of a Strat® made by Fender®. Let me tell you what were the other two key aspects that have driven me to buy this guitar.
First, the short story starts when I was looking for an electric guitar so that I could improve both my chords and guitar arpeggios. I knew that not only this guitar will be neither my first nor my last electric guitar, but also I was buying within a tight budget.
The second reason, which I had in mind when I bought this guitar, was that I did not have the essential accessories to start playing the guitar. As a result, I should allocate resources to buy not only the guitar, but also the amplifier, cables, electronic tuner, gig bag, etc. Consequently with my thoughts, I needed not only a guitar that was high quality made, but also a guitar that came with all those extra accessories.
As a result, I decided to buy the Affinity Series™ Strat® by Fender®. I hope the reasons that I share with you in this review could help you to decide with your future purchase, which permits you to achieve your initial goals, whether or not you buy this product.

I got a set almost exacly like this once and it was everything i needed to start off learning how to play , all begginers should by sets like these
I played an acoustic before but this is my first electric. It's great to learn on and has great sound for the price. Only comment I have is not to buy Fender instructional video because you get an abbreviated version with the package, it's redundant. But buy the Squier to get off to a good start.

StarCraft class being offered at UC Berkeley is that it's just that: A class to help you be better at StarCraft and enjoy playing it more. Really.
From the course description: "What may look like complex topics are just ways we want you to think more deeply about the game to derive a greater satisfaction from playing. Furthermore, this understanding should have applications in real life, to further synthesize new information from limited inferences."
Note that it says it "should" have real-world applications. As in, "This should be of some practical use to you, but even if it's not, you just played StarCraft on the US Department of Education's dime, so maybe you shouldn't look a gift Protoss in the mouth."
Update: It appears this class may be a student initiative in Berkeley's alternative education program, as opposed to being an official part of the syllabus. We're sure students will recognize the course's immense value regardless.

Legal market overview
The €6bn recapitalisation of Portugal's banking system has now concluded for all institutions except Banif. Vieira de Almeida & Associados advised the Portuguese state throughout, with Morais Leitão, Galvão Teles, Soares da Silva & Associados, Cuatrecasas, Gonçalves Pereira, Garrigues and Linklaters LLP acting for banks at various points in the process.
Though very slight growth was reported in 2013, the economy remains largely unchanged, with legal work dominated by distressed transactions. This, in turn, has encouraged greater specialisation, particularly within insolvency. Wide-reaching labour and HR repercussions of corporate restructurings have also created new challenges, and CMS has demonstrated particular strength in this area.
In response to domestic market conditions, firms are increasingly focusing on foreign jurisdictions – particularly Mozambique and Angola – with Brazil and China following close behind. Benefiting from its fluid, global structure, Linklaters LLP has expanded its activity in Lusophone Africa. Morais Leitão, Galvão Teles, Soares da Silva & Associados created a specialist Africa desk in 2012, and PLMJ – A. M. Pereira, Sáragga Leal, Oliveira Martins, Júdice e Associados, Sociedade de Advogados, RL and Sérvulo & Associados have also developed their presence in the continent. Drawing on strong international foundations, SRS Advogados' dual-qualified team has been active across Europe, Asia, the US and Latin America.
There has been a marked increase in financial regulation, and resultant litigation. Swaps-related disputes between the state and multiple institutions are close to conclusion. Pharmaceutical patent actions also remain a major trend, with Pfizer's ongoing proceedings over Viagra being a significant example. On the public side, Portugal's wide-reaching privatisation programme is nearing completion, with the postal service's approaching reconstitution set to follow a similar model to the UK. Stagnating PPP activity has, once again, encouraged law firms to take their expertise into new territories, particularly in Africa, acting for public and private sector clients.

The agreement, which was signed in Macau on 28 September 1999 and came into force retroactively as from 1 January 1999, closely follows the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development's (OECD's) model.

VDB Loi assists with first Commercial Tax registration by a non-residentVDB Loi, a leading legal and tax advisory firm in Myanmar, was this week able to register an unnamed non-resident foreign company without a branch in Myanmar for Commercial Tax (CT) purposes. According to Myanmar's tax laws, 5% CT is due on, among other things, all services rendered in the country. This includes services that are performed in Myanmar by foreign or non-resident companies such as engineering, installation, drilling or consulting. Until recently, however, there was confusion about the implementation by foreign companies, many of which were under the impression that the CT did not apply to them, unless they formally opened a branch in the country. That confusion has now been lifted as the Internal Revenue Department (IRD) has issued the first CT registration for a foreign service provider who has no presence or branch in Myanmar.- VDB Loi

Shale licensing to proceed, but exploratory fracking prohibited for nowBack

Mineral Resources Minister Susan Shabangu clarified normal exploration to include "drilling", as well as geophysical and geochemical mapping. But exploratory fracking would not be allowed during the 6 to 12 months it would take to formulate "appropriate regulations, controls and coordination systems".
Both drilling and fracking are integral to the shale-gas exploration process, with the drilling used to confirm the existence of the shale formations and fracking to prove whether the gas will indeed flow from the shale.
No timeframes were offered for the issuance of licences, nor for the start of a broad-based consultation process that had been stipulated by Cabinet when it gave the now contextualised "conditional" approval to fracking at its meeting of September 4.
A monitoring committee would be established to oversee the augmentation of the mining regulations, as well as to supervise possible fracking operations, Shabangu said, quoting from Cabinet-endorsed recommendations arising from a task team probe of the potential and appropriateness of allowing fracking in South Africa. This committee had not yet been appointed.
The task team had comprised representatives from the departments of Mineral Resources, Environmental and Water Affairs, Energy and Science and Technology (DST), as well as from Eskom, the Council for Geoscience, the Water Research Commission and the Square Kilometre Array (SKA). It also included academics from the universities of the Free State and Western Cape.
The report also called for collaboration between the DMR and the DST to ensure "co-existence" between the SKA radio astronomy research and any shale gas mining, as well as for further geohydrology investigation.
Shabangu also insisted that a far-reaching consultation process would be pursued on the basis of Cabinet's cautious endorsement of fracking and the inclusion of unconventional gas into South Africa's future energy supply considerations.
A number of questions were posed at the briefing, including by the Treasure the Karoo Action Group's Jonathan Deal, about the fact that the consultation and regulatory strengthening processes had been sequenced in parallel with the licensing process and possible limited exploration.
But Shabangu insisted that government had no previous mandate, or basis, for consultation, which the task team report now provided. Government would consider amending its processes should well-founded suggestions and objections be raised during consultations with affected parties and stakeholders.
The Minister stressed the licensing would proceed in line with the administrative guidelines of South Africa's Mineral and Petroleum Resources Development Act, which made it incumbent upon the DMR to consider the merits of five applications received to date. Failure to do so could result in court challenges by the applicants.
Shabangu refused to confirm the names of the applicants, stating that the department would need to reconfirm whether all the applicants remained interested. It is known, though, that Shell South Africa has made application to the department, while names such as Anglo American, Bundu, Falcon Energy, Chesapeake and Statoil have also been linked to the process. Sasol also applied in a joint venture with Statoil and Chesapeake, but withdrew following a desktop evaluation of the project's technical feasibility.
Shell South Africa upstream GM Jan Eggink told Engineering News Online that the prohibition of exploratory fracking during the period when the monitoring committee and new regulations were being established and finalised was not a worry for Shell.
The group still needed to secure an exploration licence and complete an environmental-impact assessment (EIA) for the exploration wells, which could take up to two years to finalise. Shell is yet to go out to tender for an independent consultant to conduct the EIA.
"What the Minister has proposed, therefore, makes sense. She wants to set up a monitoring committee and before that monitoring committee is installed you wouldn't like hydraulic fracturing to start, because it is there to oversee that process," Eggink added.
But in the longer run, an exploration permit that disallowed fracking activities would "not be a very valuable licence to hold".
The full task team report, entitled 'Investigation of Hydraulic Fracturing in the Karoo Basin of South Africa', would be made available once it had been edited. But the executive summary, which was released, argued that conditional fracking was considered more appropriate than an outright ban or unconditional sanction.
The report highlighted the risks posed to water resources and astronomy research, but said that the socioeconomic and energy benefits could be material.

Moroccan Jews who suffered under the Nazis and their allies during World War II
– will, for the first time ever – receive compensation from Germany.The
Conference on Jewish Material Claims Against Germany (better known as the Claims
Conference), said on Wednesday that Berlin has agreed to provide a single
payment of 2,556 euros to Jews whose freedom of movement was curtailed by the
Axis powers.RELATED:Yad Vashem requests privately held Holocaust papersGermany to raise funds for Holocaust survivors by 15%"Restricting the freedom of movement to the domestic area,
or a specific region, was an effective means to the goal of seizing the Jewish
population in Germany, and the regions under German influence," said Julius
Berman, Claims Conference chairman. "By clarifying this element of persecution,
we obtained recognition for the persecution suffered by those who lived under
these restrictions."About 7,000 Jews who lived under Axis regimes in
Romania, Bulgaria and North Africa are expected to be eligible for the
payment.In the past, Germany has compensated Tunisian and Libyan Jews
who were interned at Nazi labor camps. However, Moroccan Jews who were subjected
to a series of discriminatory laws were not included.The Claims
Conference, which is the body in charge of negotiating compensation for
Holocaust survivors, recently negotiated an increase by 15 percent, from 110
million euros in 2011 to 126.7m. euros in 2012. On Wednesday it called on
would-be recipients of the payment to read more about the terms of payment on
its website at www.claimscon.co.il.

(NasdaqGM: ORCT) today reported results for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2011. Revenues in the second quarter of 2011 were $5.0 million compared to $4.6 million in the previous quarter ended March 31, 2011 and $1.7 million in the comparable quarter last year. Net loss for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 was $5.0 million, or $(0.22) per share, compared to $6.0 million, or $(0.27) per share, for the previous quarter ended March 31, 2011 and $7.7 million, or $(0.40) per share, for the second quarter of 2010. As a result of the settlement of a legal proceeding during the second quarter of 2011, the Company reversed a provision with respect to this proceeding. This reversal reduced selling, marketing, general and administrative expenses during the quarter by approximately $870,000. Without this reversal, these expenses would have been approximately the same as in the comparable quarter last year. Adjustments related to the Company's Series A convertible notes issued in March 2007 and Series B convertible notes issued in June 2011 resulted in financial expense in the aggregate amount of $589,000 in the quarter ended June 30, 2011. Adjustments related to the conversion terms of the Series A convertible notes resulted in financial expense of $352,000 in the quarter ended March 31, 2011 and $91,000 in the quarter ended June 30, 2010. Adjustments related to the Series B Notes for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 include an adjustment based on the market value of these notes, as well as one time expenses for the discount applicable to the issuance of the Series B notes and for expenses incurred in connection with the issuance of these notes. Revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2011 were $9.5 million compared to $3.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010. Net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2011 was $11.0 million, or $(0.49) per share, compared to $13.9 million, or $(0.77) per share, for the six months ended June 30, 2010. Adjustments related to the Company's Series A and Series B convertible notes resulted in financial expense of $941,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2011 and $408,000 million in the six months ended June 30, 2010. Results for the six months ended June 30, 2010 include other income of $1.6 million as a result of the sale of an equity investment in the first quarter of 2010. Key highlights: · Growing customer base contributed to 200% year-over-year revenue increase in the second quarter compared to the same quarter last year and now totals approximately 25 Tier 1, Tier 2 and Tier 3 service providers, as well as wireline and wireless carriers. · Successfully completed an intensive trial with one of the largest mobile operators in India and actively participating in trials and discussions with large service providers. · Reduced operating expenses through a work force reduction that, when fully in effect in the fourth quarter of 2011, is expected to reduce quarterly operating expenses by approximately $1.6 million. · U pgraded offerings with the introduction of a new CM-401x PTN access product line that includes the CM-4011, CM-4012 and CM-4013 products that offer a comprehensive technology feature-set for delivery of voice and data services using high end packet technologies housed in 1RU as a "pizza-box" with low power consumption. This new product line has received excellent market feedback and completes Orckit's offerings for end-to-end solutions for all types of services at all network domains. The CM-401x product was named an "Access" winner in the "Innovations in Information Technology" category of "The 3rd Annual 2011 Golden Bridge Award". · Raised net proceeds of approximately $8.0 million in June 2011 through a public offering in Israel of Series B Convertible Notes due December 31, 2017 . The notes are denominated in NIS, are not linked to the consumer price index, are convertible into ordinary shares of Orckit and bear interest at the rate of 8% per year. The offering included approximately $3.0 million invested by related parties under the same terms as outside investors: Mr. Izhak Tamir, Chairman of the Board and President and a co-founder of Orckit; Mr. Eric Paneth, Chief Executive Officer, a director and a co-founder of Orckit; and Catalyst Private Equity Partners (Israel) II LP and affiliated funds. Mr. Yair Shamir, an outside director of Orckit at the time of this investment, serves as the Chairman of the management company of the Catalyst funds. Izhak Tamir, Chairman and President of Orckit, said, "Orckit achieved significantly stronger revenue this quarter with a 200% revenue increase year-over-year. This accomplishment was primarily driven by our growing customer base which now totals approximately 25 Tier 1, Tier 2 and Tier 3 service providers, as well as wireline and wireless carriers. Since the beginning of the second quarter, we have added three new Tier 2 service providers. We also saw growing global interest in our portfolio, and are now engaged in technical discussions, trials and commercial negotiations with close to ten Tier 1 customers in APAC, Europe and LATAM. Looking forward, we are maintaining our guidance of $28 million in revenues for 2011." Mr. Tamir concluded, "In addition to successfully growing our installed base, we realized two major milestones this quarter. In India, we completed an intensive trial for one of the country's largest mobile operators. We continue to actively participate in trials and discussion with other large service providers. We also introduced our CM-401x PTN access product line, which supplements our offerings for end-to-end solutions for services in network domains. We believe we are well positioned to meet the need of mobile operators for technologies that can cope with both voice and data services on a large scale at a lower cost. We also believe that our advanced mobile backhaul solution provides the best fit for existing legacy networks and next-generation networks."

Anti-Spam Law Resources
Canada's Anti-Spam Law Resources
On July 1, 2014, the majority of Canada's Anti-Spam Law (CASL) will be put into effect. These regulations apply to commercial electronic messages, harvesting of address information, installation of computer programs and false representations in messages, and altogether, will give Canada the world's strictest spam/malware legislation. Furthermore, CASL compliance is required for all missives sent from or accessed in Canada, making the law an issue of global consequence.
SIIA/ABM has compiled a list of resources to help businesses act in accordance with CASL. These resources include a compliance toolkit devised by McCarthy Tétrault senior partner (and Canadian IP law expert) Barry Sookman, a webinar with Sookman from January and additional articles and resources dealing with the legislation.

SIIA-ABM Postal Operations Briefing
The outlook for postal rates continues to be very uncertain. Postal increases have traditionally taken place in January of each year. For 2015 there are several factors in place that could result in an increase taking place later in the year, or perhaps not at all.
Presently the exigency surcharge is temporary and will likely be fulfilled in August or September 2015. To avoid an increase in January and another decrease adjustment later in the year, the Postal Service could decide to hold off on the January increase.
There have also been informal suggestions that the USPS would like to move the increase date to later in the year regardless for internal reasons.
Exigent appeal cases are also in the courts that could eliminate the exigent completely or bake it into the rates permanently.
There are various postal reform proposals in Congress which could affect rates, with a continued threat of rate increases to offset postal service revenue losses.

ABM's Mission
The information and media industry is growing in complexity:
- Audiences and marketers are becoming customers and competitors.
- Media and information are evolving into market intelligence.
- Revenue models more complex, requiring multiple sources.
- Single platform publications are now integrated multi-platform operations.
- New technologies mean new competitors.
- New capabilities are complicating ROI strategies.
Companies are navigating new revenues, developing new products, repositioning brands and seeking new talent and skills. Media and information executives are re-allocating costs to new growth; considering new metrics, case studies and benchmarks; and grappling with legislative threats.
In this dynamic environment, ABM's purpose is twofold:
First, to promote and defend our industry, through advocacy and lobbying in Washington on legislative threats to industry business practices; as well as by promoting industry to key stakeholders on Wall Street, Madison Avenue, etc.
Second, to accelerate the transformation to new business models, primarily through providing visibility into strategic options; enabling implementation through pragmatic solutions; creating a nexus for the exchange of ideas and solutions; and delivering information, education and knowledge.

Sparkling Lorie Line and her fab five are amazingly talented and wonderful. We enjoyed Lorie's fabulous playing, original compositions, and delightful personality. Playing on an attractive stage with great lighting, the musicians in her group are likewise excellent and professional. The concert included a nice variety of music and one funny drumming session (little procession) with the guys, all of whom are fantastic. All in all, we loved the concert.
