A candida albicans, also known as candidiasis is an infection a result of yeast called candida albicans (fungus) which love clammy parts of the body, such as the mouth and also other moist areas.

Candida is a pleomorphic organism. This organism commonly penetrates and affects parts of the body such as the mouth, around dentures, under the breasts, the vagina, groin area, nail beds, and beneath other skin folds. An infant can have this condition during a normal vaginal delivery. You must avoid wearing bathing suit which is wet for very long since this creates a moisturized warm environment which is great for the growth of yeast. When this occurs, an infection is likely to take place. But when your body's defence mechanism is compromised and 'below par', the fungi can 'overgrow' thus creating the Candida condition we also call 'yeast infection.' The types of things that can trigger this are items like; the use of antibiotics and steroids, poor nutrition, stress, health conditions, some medicines, diabetes (which feeds the yeast), body pH, hormonal changes, etc.
The yoga philosophy also indicates fasting as a method of internal cleansing and eliminating toxins within the human organism. Lots of people develop candida albicans on their chin and have alarmed. Natural home remedies tend to offer relief devoid of the bothersome unwanted effects or adverse chemical reactions that come with with your medications.

Sautee for 5 minutes then add the pepper and squash. Yeast is really a unicellular fungus.
Without a infection, these tests may help your health professional figure out what kind of infection you have. Take a protein-rich diet. Lessen stress. Avoiding scented sanitary pads, bubble bath and sprays also help out with preventing candida albicans. In other words, yeast is present in the babys stomach.

From Brazil's burgeoning fashion industry to Colombia's chic boutique hotels, South America has long since established its reputation as a continent with cosmopolitan appeal. And yet, the region's culinary traditions remain a thing of ambiguous allure, ultimately limited by the emphatically exoticized stereotype of "spicy" Latin culture. Unlike, say, Indian, Chinese or Italian cuisine (each of which is a slow-cooked melting pot of myriad regional traditions), South American food still lacks a distinctive culinary identity. Enter Jaime Diaz, a Colombian restauranteur who plans to redefine Latin American food for the international palette with his restaurant Nuela.
"The world is missing out on Latin food as a broad cuisine," Diaz laments. "There are many representations of Latin restaurants that are typical mom-and-pop style places showing great authentic food, but [they] lack the innovation and encouragement that Americans need to be fully challenged to learn and participate in this cuisine." To overturn this limited perception, Diaz, along with chef Adam Schop, is cultivating a cohesive culinary personality that encourages creativity and originality rather than restricting its parameters.
Nuela's carefully designed menu culls inspiration from a pan-continental palette that balances local specialties with cross-cultural favorites. Diners will find familiar dishes like ceviche and paella (the latter of which is dressed up with roasted duck breast and seared foie gras), or opt for regionally distinctive fare like Lobster "Moqueca" (featuring hearts of palm, banana and cashews), thereby representing both the continent's range of traditions and its endless potential. "The geography of South America is diverse, allowing so many regions and cultures to coexist," Diaz explains. "The ingredients are rich and distinctive to the geography which makes a lot of the food unique."
Beyond its pitch-perfect food, one of Nuela's most appealing qualities is its welcoming, immersive ambiance (an exclusive music director curates a nightly playlist of Latin tunes, new diners are welcomed to the "family" and encouraged to submit their favorite South American dish/country/musician online). "Latin culture is synonymous with passion, family and warm hospitality," Diaz points out. "When guests dine at Nuela, our goal is for them to sense those connotations and become life-long connoisseurs of the food and culture."
With this expansive eye on the South American lifestyle, it's no surprise that Diaz also has designs for expanding his business. He is already considering additional outposts beyond the New York flagship location, with possibilities ranging from Miami to Mumbai. "We believe that there is an increasing demand by savvy international food enthusiasts to experience a taste of Latin America globally," Diaz says. "Once the food is tasted, the story is told and the experience becomes memorable."

People have various reasons for coupling, but a big one is the concept of having a partner at one's side to help deal with adversity when times get tough. Certain folks choose to go through life all alone, but most of us want someone there for us, to tell us and show us how valuable we are to someone else when we may feel worthless; as Bill Withers may say, someone to lean on. In a long distance relationship, it is imperative that both partners keep alert for times when one needs an extra bit of love or attention, because it's so much more difficult to deal with life when a loved one is so far away.
Communication, of course, is key to any relationship, but in a long distance scenario, it's so easy to miss a sign that your partner is giving you. And when your partner is going through a rough patch, he may or may not let you know directly that he's struggling. It would be great if he always told you straight up that he needs some extra TLC in an e-mail or that he needs 15 more minutes of phone time today, but sometimes he may not be able to find the words to let you know. This is when paying close attention and being well attuned to your partner's disposition comes in. Are his remarks in your phone chats short and clipped? Does he sound less upbeat than normal? Very important also is recognizing any recent situation that your loved one has been involved in that may have had an adverse effect on him. Did he get chewed out at work by his boss? Did his mother say something that upset him? Did his best friend borrow money and is now avoiding him?
Some situations may seem easy to overcome from where you stand, but if your partner is suffering, then he needs comfort, not judgment. I had a bad reaction this week to losing a contest that meant nothing at first glance but had a lot of meaning to me. My fiancée spent a lot of time consoling me on the phone the night of the contest and the next day. She also e-mailed articles that chronicled how others dealt with losing, and sent loving cell phone texts. She could have brushed me off and told me that I need to get over it, but if she were the type who treated me that way, she wouldn't be my fiancée. She realized that I needed her at this time of difficulty, and as always, she was there for me.
Whether it's picking up clues or your partner telling you that he's feeling down in the dumps, you have to make sure that he can feel your empathy for him. Write a passionate e-mail telling him how much you care. Spend that extra time on the phone letting him know it's gonna be alright. Send him a cell phone pic of yourself with a special message and a big smile, or maybe wearing some special clothing or lingerie. We all need a pick-me-up every now and then. Don't let the miles of separation stop you from picking your guy or girl up and showing him or her the love.

Writers: John Lennon, Paul McCartney
Producer: George Martin
Released: Aug. '66, Capitol
8 weeks; No. 11
When McCartney first played the song for neighbor Donovan, the words were "Ola Na Tungee/Blowing his mind in the dark/With a pipe full of clay." McCartney fumbled around with the lyrics until he landed on the line "Picks up the rice in a church where a wedding has been." It was only then that he realized he was writing about the loneliness of old age. "Father McKenzie" was originally "Father McCartney"; Ringo chipped in the line "darning his socks in the night." The character sketch was fleshed out by the Beatles' vocals, but the backing music was the sole product of an eight-man string section, working from a George Martin score.

A technical foul would mean game stoppages to review video, and I don't know if I'm on board with that. However, a suspension handed down after a league review would be fair. That way the refs don't have one more thing to sweat about during the game and the league can make an informed decision after reviewing the video. I don't want to see a series or game decided by a player having to sit out, but I also don't want to see a player have to go to the bench with foul trouble due to a bogus foul call off a flop. The threat of a suspension would solve both of those problems unless the flop occurs in a Game 7 or maybe an elimination game. Don't want to get suspended? Don't hit the floor like you just got nailed by a sniper. Easy enough.

Things to Consider Before Removing a Tree
From Dean Dowd on October 03, 2008 in Landscaping
With the growing value of trees from an ecological perspective and the value they generally add to a propertys worth, tree removal might seem like an ill-advised choice. Although it may be a wise rule of thumb to think in terms of saving a tree rather than removing it, sometimes a tree needs special attention and, occasionally, in a major way.
For example, what if an aged tree is leaning dangerously close to your house? Or what if an ancient hedge of evergreen trees, planted when your house was built in the 1930s, has grown so old and shaggy that it makes the inside of your home dark and dreary, and the exterior outdated, to say the least. Another example might be that you have discovered a vibrant sapling that has established itself in a far corner of your property, but if allowed to grow, could clash with other trees close by. What should you do?
About.com offers practical advice: Tree removal is often necessary. Learn what to look for in hiring services or arborists for tree removal, like clauses in their contracts. Tree removal, remember, is dangerous. Limbing is less severe, but still check that services are insured. Among other things to consider if you decide to remove trees is how to deal with the remaining stumps. In other words: contact an expert in tree removal!
David Beaulieu, in another article for About.com, says, If you have a large tree limb hanging over your house, you may have little choice but to hire a tree service to remove it safely. At the other end of the spectrum, to raise or protect your property value, hiring arborists to put their artistic flare and scientific knowledge to work in pruning your prized trees may make sense.
Small trees can be transplanted effectively in late winter or early spring, with fall being the second most effective time. Although the transplanting process is simple enough for a knowledgeable do-it-yourselfer, there are many considerations to bear in mind if you want to ensure the survival of tree after its transplanted. Unless you feel confident in your abilities to do the physical work involved, and just as importantly to gauge the appropriateness of the new location you select for the tree, this a job that may best be handled by a landscaper. If the tree youre transplanting is relatively small, you wont need a tree expert for this task. In case you want to explore whether this job is something you can take on yourself, check out David Beaulieus extensive tips.

It's a wonder that only a Wonder Woman actress is experiencing a filmmaking lottery win. But all fans get to celebrate the payoff.
Gal Gadot will star as DC Comics famed Amazonian in three separate movies according to a confirmation by Variety. The "Fast Five" and "Fast & Furious 6" alum came to spotlight recognition when her signing for the upcoming "Batman vs. Superman" came to headline. DC Entertainment, it seems, has greater plans in the works.
A solo movie outside showcasing DC's superhero famed Trinity will later underway in production. And if that weren't enough movie karma for Wonder Woman fans, the Israeli born actress has contract clauses to reprise Diana Prince's alter ego within a Justice League titular movie. That would not only feature the superhero Trinity poster heroes, but include Flash, Green Lantern, Aquaman and possibly Cyborg.
Gadot will succeed a portrayal for a live action Wonder Woman after Linda Carter's television stardom from 1975 to 1979. A timeline that has heightened the consternation of Wonder Woman fans, Carter included, witnessing a run of reboots for Superman and Batman alongside fresh trial debuts for Green Lantern.
Gadot has indeed hit the comics movie jackpot.

A recent cyclist/pedestrian collision in San Francisco is forcing a lot of questions about cycling and the enforcement of traffic codes as pertaining to cycling.
The New York Times has a very fair article on the collision between the cyclist, 36-year-old Chris Bucchere, and the pedestrian, 71-year-old Sutchi Hui. Mr. Hui died as a result of the wounds he received in the collision. The article takes care to point out that, nationwide, only 63 people have died in cyclist-pedestrian collisions between 1999 and 2009, as compared to 4,834 cyclists and 59,925 pedestrians killed by automobiles.
Naturally, any death is a tragedy and needs to be addressed. In the case of this collision, Mr. Bucchere was clocked at 35 miles per hour and blasted through a red light, basically out of control. If you've ever been to San Francisco, you can see how easily one could get out of control as the city is extraordinarily hilly. Bucchere was definitely in the wrong in this case and reportedly surrendered to the police on his own.
But some of the comments that have come up have been very disturbing, as usual. Naturally, there are all the "those darned cyclists think they own the road" comments that come up, and in a case where the cyclist was out of control and consciously flouted the law that can be expected.
But the truly disturbing thing about this is that it's giving more ammunition to those who want to limit the rights of cyclists to the roads. Proper enforcement of existing cycling-related traffic code would be more than adequate - an effort that has been widely ignored in Columbus (when was the last time you heard about someone being ticketed for riding a bike on the sidewalk)? But of course, this sort of story and its relation to a "scofflaw cyclist" (the term widely used for a cyclist who doesn't stop at red lights and the like) can only bring negative attention to those who are trying to get more rights for all cyclists.
On the other hand, many folks have looked at this accident another way: pointing out that if Mr. Bucchere had been in a car, he might only have received a legal slap on the wrist.
And the rights of pedestrians are rightly being called to attention as well. Pedestrians are the most vulnerable of road users, and as the population ages there will continue to be more pedestrians on the streets. Again, motor vehicles are still the primary killers of pedestrians, not cyclists (by a long shot), but any death is a tragedy.
It's clear: better cyclists education and enforcement could have prevented this accident. Too many municipalities, including Columbus, are more interested in putting in sharrows, bike lanes, bike paths, and more because those are politically more valuable. The public can see them going in and it's clear that something is "being done" to make cycling more encouraged, even if it's not making it safer. Education and enforcement, on the other hand, are harder to see but much more valuable for the community as it actually teaches people the proper way to ride and makes sure they do it.
And it's very important for communities to remember that these accidents are RARE. Motorists are still the primary killers of pedestrians on the road and this needs to be addressed as well.
But, it definitely calls to attention the need for all cyclists to be more law-abiding and vigilant as they ride. Everyone has the right to get where they're going safely.

An alleged sex tape of Marilyn Monroe with JFK and Robert Kennedy is going to auction and this could sell for a lot of money. On March 1, Boston.com reported that this tape is actually going to go up for sale. This will go up for auction on Tuesday.
Former bodyguard William Castleberry is the one who has the tape and nobody else has seen it yet. The bodyguard says that he had a lot of respect for Joe DiMaggio who was Marilyn's husband and that is what kept him from putting the tape out there. Now it won't be up to him if the world sees it because it is going to auction due to it being seized and he can't afford to pay to get it back.
This tape was seized after Castleberry was accused of selling a fake statue. He can't afford to get it out because it would cost $200,000 to get it. At this time, nobody has seen the sex tape of Marilyn Monroe, JFK, and RFK so it will be interesting to see it if really is what he says it is and how much it will sell for this week.

Careers: Obesity Bad for Business
it seems overweight people face heightened scrutiny at the workplace. That'sFit is on it:
"Um yeah…what's happening?"
Stigmas surrounding obesity plainly exist. People carrying significant weight are commonly labeled lazy, slovenly, and lacking self-discipline, so often whispered with that annoying phrase, "they just let themselves go." I've known and know plenty of overweight people whom absolutely none of those labels apply.Well, to add levity to this touchy subject—there are certainly some drawbacks to dressing slovenly at work. From a great movie:
Unfortunately these swirling negative stereotypes can damage careers, says a new study. Researchers examined data from a pool of 25 separate studies looking at weight-based bias in the workplace. They determined bias definitely exists, with a stronger bias for sales positions than managerial ones.
"Um yeah…what's happening?"

Next, Lucas is at work, directing a scene between his horsehung discovery Chad Hunt and toned newcomer Jessie Bryce. Before the shoot begins, Lucas asks Hunt if he would be willing to anchor a threeway scene the next day as well, and Hunt agrees. The scene begins, and tattooed loveboy Hunt gives it long and hard to Bryce, who whimpers as he tries to accommodate Hunts mammoth tool. After the shoot, Lucas promises Hunt hell be paid after the orgy.

Besides his obvious physical attribute for which he's famous, Chad Hunt is possibly the most organized and professional model out there, and he has always been a pleasure to work with. So imagine our delight when, after a year-long hiatus, Chad decided he wanted to return to the world of gay porn, and he wanted to return as a Lucas Entertainment exclusive! His triumphant comeback (featuring a hot nature fuck in the woods) was in Fire Island Cruising Parts 7 & 8, and he made his directorial debut in Auditions 9. In 2006, the industry cockfight of the year ignited with a now-famous threesome for Encounters 3: Flash Point with Chad and new Lucas Entertainment exclusives Ben Andrews (who's also enormously hung) and Sal. Chad then took a dramatic turn for us in a pivotal role in Michael Lucas' La Dolce Vita, followed by a memorable football-themed pairing with hottie Brad Star for Encounters 4: On The Job. He and Ben paired up again for Michael Lucas' The Bigger The Better, Lucas Entertainment's first mainline feature of 2007.
Michael Lucas discovered Jesse Bryce hitchhiking at a nearby rest stop while Lucas was readying to get a dent on his car fixed at Jimbo's Discount Parts Palace, right off exit 17 from the New Jersey turnpike. Lucas describes working with Bryce: "Whether he was dumb or just really quiet, I never found out. Nonetheless, he performed beautifully as a bottom and was a great dildo sucker!"
What is there to say about Michael Lucas? A good place to start is the beginning: Lucas Entertainment founder and president Michael Lucas was born in Moscow, Russia, on March 10, 1972. He was raised in Moscow and attended college there, graduating with a degree in law. In 1995, Michael Lucas moved to Germany, then to France, where he began modeling and appearing on several European television programs and covers of many European magazines. In 1998, Lucas opened his own production company, Lucas Entertainment, in New York City. Later that year, he made his directorial debut with the well-received Back in the Saddle. This first production sparked the Michael Lucas "renegade" vision that is indelibly New York. Additionally, basing his company in New York City, as opposed to the more traditional Los Angeles, enabled Lucas to showcase the diversity of types and ethnicities found nowhere else. MIchael Lucas started Lucas Distribution, Inc. in 2004 and LucasBlog.com in 2005. Both are pioneering ventures in the competitive realms of adult video distribution and online media, respectively. In the summer of 2005 he released GayVN's Best Picture of the year, a high-budget adult film remake of Dangerous Liaisons, featuring celebrity cameos from RuPaul, Boy George, Graham Norton, Bruce Vilanch, and Michael Musto. In 2006, filming began on his most buzzed about film ever, Michael Lucas' La Dolce Vita. The production included a big-budget fashion show, a sextra-filled club orgy scene, a headline-making fountain scene with Vivid star Savanna Samson. On November 12, 2004, Michael Lucas was proudly sworn in as an American citizen.

Hey all,
I just wanted to introduce myself as I am hoping to join the Beretta family.
I was looking around online the other day for a semi-auto with a classic, but modern style... and saw the 90Two. PERFECT. But i was wondering, someone told me once, that Beretta only had a 1yr warranty on thier guns. Is this something to be worried about? And Also, why does it seem that no other manufacture uses a "design firm" to modernize their guns?
Thanks for all the help... familywagon

A previous experiment showed that a chimpanzee performed better in searching for a target human face that differed in orientation from distractors when the target had an upright orientation than when targets had inverted or horizontal orientation [Tomonaga (1999a) Primate Res 15:215–229]. This upright superiority effect was also seen when using chimpanzee faces as targets but not when using photographs of a house. The present study sought to extend these results and explore factors affecting the face-specific upright superiority effect. Upright superiority was shown in a visual search for orientation when caricaturized human faces and dog faces were used as stimuli for the chimpanzee but not when shapes of a hand and chairs were presented. Thus, the configural properties of facial features, which cause an inversion effect in face recognition in humans and chimpanzees, were thought to be a source of the upright superiority effect in the visual search process. To examine this possibility, various stimuli manipulations were introduced in subsequent experiments. The results clearly show that the configuration of facial features plays a critical role in the upright superiority effect, and strongly suggest similarity in face processing in humans and chimpanzees.

AMMPS For Mac – Changing the Apache Document Root
Since getting a Mac I decided to use Ampps for all of my development and testing needs. Ampps, if you don't already know is an alternative to Xampp, Mamp, Wamp and various other web servers. There is one thing I like to do with web server's and that is to move the document root outside of the default path to prevent me deleting it and also to keep it backed up so here is a little tutorial on how to change the Apache document root in Ammps.

A single poem "At The X-Ray Machine" by Jiří Wolker, Czech poet (1900 - 1924) illustrated by hand-crafted photograms.
There are 24 photograms in the book altogether. Purposely, I used very primitive techniques and ignored the fundamental rules to get the impressions of different objects as if they had been obtained long time ago.
The poem is in Czech.
This book was my semestral work at The Prague Photography School in June 2008.

Budapest is a top tourists destination due to the wonderful Hungarian cuisine, hospitality,thermal spas and baths, rich culture and history and buzzing nightlife.
The Hungarian capital is celebrated as one of Europe's most beautiful, most lively capitals. The city's spectacularly beautiful architecture inspires many artists and attracts countless holidaymakers from all over the world. This is a town that sightseers always love and constantly want to visit again. The marvelous Hungarian capital was destroyed and devastated many times during history. Now it has many contemporary characters and the "Pearl of the Danube" certainly has countless reasons to visit. It is a legendary city, rich in remarkable sites, history, celebrated persons, and jam-packed with tourists.
Budapest is located in the heart of Hungary. The location of the Hungarian capital is breathtaking. The Danube divides the city into two parts: Buda and Pest. They have distinctive characters. Up on the hilly, leafy Buda one can discover a lot of deep yellow colored buildings, museums, galleries, churches and parks. The past visibly left his footprints here. Tourists may find themselves traveling quite a few hundred years back in time. This part of the city is full zigzagging residential streets and popular sights, such as the Castle District, the Royal Palace, and the famous Matthias Church. Buda is also the green belt of the city, where people like to walk and hike.
The Pest side of Budapest is quite different from the hilly, green site of Buda. Pest is kind of the flat part of the city. It looks more hectic, modern, urbanized and populated. This part of the city has countless elegant hotels, fine restaurants, popular jazz clubs, shopping malls, and cafes. The atmosphere of several old European cafe houses attracts many people who love to enjoy tasty cakes and strong coffee.
In the Hungarian capital, each building has a story to tell. Budapest has no shortage of things to see. What to see exactly? The list is literally endless.
It is a memorable experience to cross the iconic Chain bridge on foot. Taking a tour in the biggest parliament building of Continental Europe is highly recommended. Visitors don't want to miss walking on the elegant Andrassy Avenue lined with stunning buildings and cafes. Having breakfast early in the morning at the Central market is fun. Riding the funicular cogwheel railway up the leafy Buda hillside is convenient. Visiting Matthias Church in its glory is popular. Visiting Budapest's main charm, the cobbled Buda Castle district is a must. Walking on Margaret Island is refreshing. Visiting a thermal bath is absolutely relaxing. Taking pictures of Little Queenty on the Duna Corso promenade is fashionable. Leaving Budapest without enjoying the atmosphere of an elegant cafe is unimaginable. Listening to Hungarian classical music is unforgettable. Eating out in a traditional Hungarian restaurant and becoming familiar with the local flavors is a must. Cruising the Danube at day or night is a must do.
Enjoy Budapest and visit back again!

A foul smell led to a body found in a dorm at the University of Chicago. According to local law enforcement via NBC Chicago on Feb. 17, 20-year-old Nicholas Brastinc Barnes had been dead for some time because his body had already started to decompose.
The Pennsylvania native lived in the International House at the Illinois-based institute of higher education and that's where students complained of a bad stench before police found Barnes' body on Saturday.
As of this writing, no foul play is being cited in this case even though Barnes was missing for an entire week.
So what is the cause of death of this student whose body was found in his dorm after seven days?
That is still a mystery but an autopsy was performed on Feb. 16 and was considered inconclusive until further toxicology testing can be completed.
Karen Warren Coleman, vice president for campus life and student services, said via a statement, "University staff are making every effort to understand the circumstances surrounding Nicholas' death,"
Barnes' dorm, which is located on the 1400 block of East 59th street in Chicago, was discovered in the late afternoon on Saturday in student housing that holds more than 100 students.
By way of background, Barnes was a Germanic Studies student in his junior year of undergraduate studies. His funeral will take place in Pittsburgh.
And so, Nicholas Brastinc Barnes is dead, his body found in his dorm already decomposed and face down on the floor, according to a police report.

Based on what the Author and Finisher of our faith articulated in Matthew 24 and Luke 21, Christians that subscribe to a pre-tribulation rapture had better have their spiritual bags packed. The only requirement that can be interpreted possibly as unfulfilled would be Jesus' stipulation that "this gospel will be preached unto all nations".
The tetrad blood moon period we are currently experiencing points to a very ominous time for human events particularly now since scientists claim this will be the last tetrad blood moons this century. Even skeptics have to admit that the world scene has gotten quite a bit friskier since the first blood moon appeared in April 15th of this year.
A pre-tribulation rapture plays to the majority of eschatology and there are plenty of scriptures to suggest something as cataclysmic as perhaps hundreds of millions of people suddenly vanishing would have earth changing consequences.
The Bible states that "God did not appoint us to wrath" and in Thessalonians there is a declaration that the anti-Christ would not be revealed until he that restrains is taken out of the way. Scholars typically agree that the Holy Spirit and church being removed will allow evil to run unabated, thus the anti-Christ would then be revealed when catastrophic turmoil will provide the circumstances of the beast coming to power.
As events converge the focal point will be Israel and the Holy Land as God will turn His attention back to the Jews once the church is gone. Is it really that surprising that the Middle East is in such chaos? The stage is being set for the anti-Christ to come to power, and the Palestinian-Israeli issue heating up could well set the stage for a peace for security deal.
"When they say peace, peace….sudden destruction comes". There will never be a permanent solution until the solution in the Bible is eventually consummated. This is a spiritual family feud that has been going on for thousands of years.
The father of the Arab nation is agreed to be Ishmael, and he was given this prophesy by an angel of the Lord in Genesis to Hagar the mother of Ishmael,
"And the angel of the Lord said unto her, Behold, thou art with child and shalt bear a son, and shalt call his name Ishmael; because the Lord hath heard thy affliction. And he will be a wild man; his hand will be against every man, and every man's hand against him, and he shall dwell in the presence of all his brethren."
Unfortunately the Jewish-Arab conflict remains unresolved due to what was declared in Genesis. There is a prophetic outline in Daniel and Ezekiel that presents the end time events that will be concentrated in the Holy Land.
There are four time frames being considered involving the rapture of the church, the pre-tribulation, mid-tribulation, pre-wrath, and post-tribulation explanations. There are scriptures that could be interpreted to substantiate any of the rapture theories, however the pre-tribulation seems to make the most sense regarding predicted events.
One of the more intriguing scenarios does involve the pre-wrath rapture where the church will be raptured prior to the supernatural destruction that is poured out by God. The church would have to live through the persecution of the anti-Christ, but would be raptured before God pours out His wrath. One can make a case for pre-wrath because Jesus said, "those that endure to the end, the same will be saved". One can also use the verse of "God did not appoint us to wrath".
If one were to take a literal and progressive interpretation of the Bible, the saints are already in heaven returning with Christ in Revelation 19:14. The New Jerusalem is the target of the enemy's final assault against Jesus' authority.
The pre-tribulation rapture could soon be tested……sooner than the church may think.

"Overall, I am pleased with the way we competed," head coach Bill Ryden said following the meet. "Stanford is a truly great team. It's nice to know we are able to compete with them. At the same time, we know we let a great opportunity slip away; we had an excellent chance to win the meet if we stayed on beam."
The Wildcats stayed close to Stanford through the first two rotations. The Cardinal took a 0.100 lead after the first, leading 49.075-48.975.
Despite the recovery,
The Wildcats moved to floor to cap the meet and scored a season-high 49.300. Morgan started the rotation with a 9.800, while Workman followed with a career-best 9.850. Russell and Wurm earned third-place marks of 9.875, and Hicks posted a 9.750. In the sixth spot, Holton matched her season and career high score with a 9.900.
On beam, the Cardinal turned in a solid and consistent last rotation on beam with a 49.050 to hold off the Wildcats.
"I am proud of our team for not giving in after beam," Ryden said. "We came out on floor with the mindset that we were not going to give up; we weren't going to go away."
In the second rotation on bars, the Wildcats posted their second highest score of the season in the event, a 49.025. Suzanne Alvey and Russell each turned in career-best 9.775 bar sets to start the rotation. After Morgan received a 9.750, Bergeson posted a 9.825. She was followed by Wurm, who shared the bars title with Stanford's Carly Janiga, as both received 9.900 scores.
Three Wildcats competed in the all-around, with Morgan leading the way with a career-high 39.250. She placed third overall behind Stanford's Janiga (39.425) and Nicole Ourada (39.325). Wurm placed fourth with a 38.200, and Russell made her debut as an all-arounder with a 38.150.
"We hope we can get Aubrey back by the Pac-10 Championships," Ryden said. "We replaced her with three true-freshman routines and a redshirt freshman. We're going to have to keep improving without her for now."
The Wildcats will be at home again next week to take on
Meet Notes:
- The announced attendance of 1,414 was the largest crowd to attend a meet in McKale Center since March 20, 2004, when 2,031 fans attended the Pac-10 Championships... On the season, Arizona is averaging 1,278 fans per meet, a significant increase from last year's average of 1,006.
- Stanford's 196.400 was the highest team total for a UA opponent this season
- Miranda Russell competed in the all-around for the first time in her collegiate career. She made her official debut on vault, tallying a 9.850 to share second-place honors. She matched her career high on bars with a 9.775 and she shattered her previous career high of 9.800 on floor with a 9.875 to share third place on floor.
- Brittney Morgan competed in the all-around for the second time in her career, totaling a career best 39.250. She also broke her previous career high of 9.750 on beam with a 9.850 against Stanford, giving her a share of third place in the event. She also set a career high on floor with a 9.800. Her only other floor appearance earned a 9.000 at UCLA on Jan. 26.
- Karin Wurm won a share of the bars title (9.900). It marks the fourth-consecutive week she has won at least a share of the event title. Over the four-meet stretch, she is averaging a score of 9.900.
- Danielle Hicks, ranked No. 8 in the nation on beam, matched her season and career high with a 9.900 to win a second straight beam title. On the year, she is averaging a score of 9.863 in the event, and has not scored below a 9.825.
- Bree Workman notched a 9.850 on floor, besting her previous career high of 9.775.
- Suzanne Alvey set a new career-best score of 9.775 on bars. Her previous best was a 9.750.
- Filling in for the injured Aubrey Kelly, Sarah Specht posted a career high 9.700 on bars.

Drawing a Line at the Border
DRAWING A LINE AT THE BORDER – U.S Immigration reform is once again in the spotlight as President Obama tries to provide an answer to the ever growing alien population in the United States.
Conservatives and Liberals are split on solutions to the issue, with neither holding to their party's official standing, but each seeking a plan that will be carried out and enforced.
Take the case of Festus Cohill, pictured above. He emigrated from Ireland 47 years ago and has earned many titles during his time in the United States: Vietnam War veteran, cancer survivor, bartender, and twice a fiancé, though never a husband. Now at the age of 64, he has become a United States citizen.
Other countries are still sending their young people here, I know of a brother and sister from China who were sent here by their parents to attend college, in hopes they would be able to have a better life. I cannot imagine the agonizing hours it took to be able to make that decision.
Our country was founded and built on the backs of immigrants, with their love of family, desire for freedom and strong work ethics. No other country in the world can make such a statement.
We are unique in that we are a blend of many cultures and ideas that together create a land that any foreigner can visit and feel at home. Immigrants coming to America continue to make vital contributions towards our country. Many foreigners enter on work or student visas and decide to stay here, working off their loans and using the skills and education they acquired.
Some join our military, fight alongside our native born sons and daughters and during their time of service, are encouraged and helped to become American citizens. Others simply live and work here, not calling attention to the fact that they still hold citizenship to the country where they were born. They are good neighbors and friends who contribute to the working of society in a positive way.
With a great deal of agricultural work available, we see many Mexican workers on temporary visas here in the North. They work hard, get paid minimum wage with no benefits, and often send those wages back home to their families. It is not uncommon to see 6-10 workers sharing one small efficiency apartment in order to save resources.
These men and women are not taking jobs away from any U.S. citizen because most of the untrained labor force here would rather be on welfare than do a day's work, especially for minimum wage. The benefit of living off the government makes life much easier than sweating in the sun and taking orders from a boss
Immigrants enter the United States after applying for a work or student visa. There are guidelines, requirements and accountability for them once they are accepted and allowed to enter the country. They have a temporary residence.
Illegal immigrants sneak into the country and are here because they are both running away from and running to something. They did not file paperwork, did not have permission to enter our country and are here illegally. They often take jobs that do not require scrutiny, such as housekeeping and field work.
Do you see there is a difference between immigrants and illegal immigrants? The President is addressing the issue of illegal immigrants.
In many southern states, the numbers of illegal immigrants are so great they are over running the schools, hospitals and housing, stretching resources beyond capacity and creating a drain on government programs they are not be entitled to receive, but do simply because we have not set laws in place restricting access.
Illegal means not legal. Not entitled. Not allowed to pursue a job, medical care or an education. Go through the correct channels, meet the requirements and when you are accepted you will be welcomed and helped along the way to a future you can be proud of.
When you come in the back door, you are in constant fear of being sent back, and are open to being intimidated and abused by those seeking to exploit you because of your circumstances.
In his reform proposal President Obama called for a path to citizenship for undocumented immigrants who pass background checks, pay taxes, learn English and stand at "the back of the line behind the folks trying to come here legally."
I'd also like to see those illegal aliens who are already being productive and hard-working citizens acknowledged as such and given the opportunity to become U.S. citizens. All others and any who refuse the offer should be deported.
No matter what action is taken, one critical issue that needs to be addressed is stemming the flow of further illegal immigrants from crossing over the border between the U.S. and Mexico. Illegal border crossings have been a constant cause of concern for residents living in the cities that butt against the border.
Those illegally crossing the border are not always headed here for a better life. There are those who are coming to escape from the law of Mexico; they are criminals and are dangerous.
Securing our borders has been an issue for over 40 years and with the construction of the border wall, there was a glimmer of hope that there could be an answer. Of course, because of the sheer amount of miles this encompasses, the wall has never been completed and what is constructed needs repaired.
There is a lack of border patrol available to monitor the wall and citizen volunteers in both Texas and Arizona have stepped up to secure weak areas known to be used by those looking to enter illegally. This helps, but is not an answer.
The U.S. cannot continue to ignore this problem and changes must be made. I cannot imagine wanting to leave my country so desperately that I would risk being shot at or arrested for crossing into another country. As I reflect on this thought, it is easy to see that for all of our country's problems, for many we are still a light at the end of the tunnel.

Before investing, investors should carefully consider the investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses of the variable annuity and its underlying investment options. The current contract prospectus and underlying fund prospectuses, which are contained in the same document, provide this and other information. Please contact your representative or the Company to obtain the prospectuses. Please read the prospectuses carefully before investing or sending money.
Diversification does not assure a profit or protect against loss in a declining market. Portfolios that have a greater percentage of alternatives may have greater risks, especially those including arbitrage, currency, leveraging, and commodities. This additional risk can offset the benefit of diversification.
Alternative investment strategies such as leveraging, arbitrage and commodities investing are subject to greater risks and volatility than more traditional investment offerings. Although asset allocation among different asset categories generally limits risk and exposure to any one category, the risk remains that management may favor an asset category that performs poorly relative to the other asset categories. The subaccounts expect to invest in positions that emphasize alternatives or nontraditional asset classes or investment strategies and, as a result, are subject to the risk factors of those asset classes. Some of those risks include general economic risk, geopolitical risk, commodity-price volatility, counterparty and settlement risk, currency risk, derivatives risk, emerging markets risk, foreign securities risk, high-yield bond exposure, noninvestment-grade bond exposure commonly known as "junk bonds," index investing risk, industry concentration risk, leveraging risk, market risk, prepayment risk, liquidity risk, real estate investment risk, sector risk, short sales risk, temporary defensive positions, and large cash positions.
The investment companies (subaccounts) offered in Elite Access are registered as investment companies under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended ("1940 Act"), and their shares are registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. There are many differences among 1940 Act registered subaccounts and unregistered hedge funds, including but not limited to liquidity, restrictions on leverage and diversification, fund reporting and transparency, fees, and availability.
The standard death benefit is equal to contract value on the date of the claim and does not include any additional guarantees.
The latest income date allowed is age 95, which is the required age to annuitize or take a lump sum. Please see the prospectus for important information regarding the annuitization of a contract.

Implement a consistent drag and drop interface for organizing tags and lists and annotations.
Make it extremely easy to organize and reorganize content so that different chunks of content can be merged and sorted and collected for quick sharing.
Ever use Basecamp? It allows you to quickly re-order tasks by dragging and dropping them to the order you want.
When hovering over an entry within a group of them, a drag+drop icon appears on the side, allowing you to put it above or below others in that highlight group.
Further, Imagine if you collapsed all highlights headers by default. Use the same drag+drop experience. Now I could sort them to my preference, not just by date.
You could also add link option at the top: ordered, by date, and so on.
We are spearing no efforts to make Diigo 6.0 available soon. We are working on a brand-new way to organize items. You can use hierarchy system in a new way. it is also super easy to re-order items' structure simply by drag and drop . Please stay tuned.

I'm with @Falst_en to thank the Diigo team for the improvements accomplished in this matter.
It's time to add the "tags bundle option (like in delicous)" option, to drastically ease tags use and management. Please consider this function!
Falst en commented
i would Love to be able to use shift select controls. currently it's all:
select one (select all checkmark appears)
select all
deselect exclusions one by one..
congratulations from 2013 on, on your dragdrop functuality? sections in lists are mildly confusing but thanks to this, easily remedied =)
that and the ever lovable feature per list to either 'add new items to top/bottom' =))
Francesco De feudis commented
I wish be able to order highlighted annotations. This version of Diigo sorts annotations cronologically. This is a problem when an annotation in the middle of others is added afterwards. Sory for my bad english)

I'm sure for a lot people the obvious appeal of this video will be the dancing 50 year old drunk guy. He's obviously someone who has spent way too much time in dance clubs over the last 10 years and has managed to pick up a few moves. What I find more compelling is the tailgating attire of the Arizona State female tailgating contingent. You got the one girl in the bikini top among a throng of tube tops, shirt dresses, jean shorts, and the like. The original post where I found this also has a LSU tailgating video. The two student populations seem to have a fair amount of similarities.
Amazingly, someone has uploaded the same event to Youtube from a different angle

Last week I was invited to experience Le Couvent des Minimes fragrances and make macarons at Mille Feille Bakery. The evening was a true French experience that included champagne, desserts and the launch of the brand's new Botanical Cologne of the Cloister. The new rose smelling scent is warm and perfect for summer. As we assisted in baking macarons, we learned about the 400 year old beauty brand and tested out the scents.
Le Couvent des Minimes four botanical fragrances come from an age long history of plant-based care that started at a convent of Mane in the South of France, that once was a home to the Minimes brothers, who were botanist monks. The convent has now been restored and is hotel and spa.
The intoxicating perfumes include natural ingredients like fresh notes of black currant, orange blossom, and Virginia cedar. They can be used on the body, as well as room sprays.
Besides fragrances, Le Couvent des Minimes includes a line of skincare and hair care products. To learn more about all of their products click here.

|What's The Millennium Stadium Like?
|From the outside the stadium looks somewhat smaller than its 73,000 capacity, but inside it is a different story as the views are breadth taking. Built on the site of the old Cardiff Arms Park, the stadium was completed in October 1999, at a cost of £130 million. The stadium features a fully retractable roof which takes about 20 minutes to close and is the only one of its kind in Britain. The stadium is completely enclosed with curved corners and is mostly three tiered with an additional row of 125 executive boxes. Add to this two huge screens, suspended beneath the roof at each end of the stadium, and you have a sight to behold. Unfortunately one end, the North Stand, is only two tiered as it backs onto the neighbouring Cardiff Rugby Club. Efforts were made to persuade the rugby club to move, but to no avail. Hence the stadium is built directly onto the rear of one of the rugby club stands and as there was insufficient space, a third tier could not be built. Another unusual feature of this stadium is that the grass pitch is grown outside of the stadium and is brought in when needed, allowing the stadium to be used for other events. Periodically a falcon is flown around the stadium to keep Cardiff's pigeon population at bay.
|External View
Thanks to Tim Rigby for supplying
the photos for this page.
|What Is It Like For Supporters?
facilities are first class and there is plenty of leg room
and height between rows, ensuring a good view of the
action. Although the stadium is huge, one pleasant
surprise is that you don't feel that you are that far away
from the playing surface. One slight complaint is that at
the back of the lower tier, you feel a little cut off from
the rest of the stadium as the second tier overhangs the
first. You still get a good view of the playing surface,
but you can't see the whole stadium. To compensate for
this TV screens are suspended beneath the roof above you
so that you can see what is happening on the huge stadium
screens. Also the incline of the top tier (level six) is
quite steep, needing some effort to climb to the top. On
the plus side the acoustics and p.a. as you would expect
are first class and a great atmosphere can be generated
within the stadium. Add to this
friendly stewards, relaxed police and a generally
welcoming local population, then you have all the
ingredients for a great day out.
If you are lucky enough to see a game with the roof of the stadium closed, then prepare yourself for quite a spectacle. The stadium looks totally different with the roof in place and the atmosphere is boosted within it. You wouldn't want to see every game under cover, as it seems somewhat artificial, but as a one off it is a fantastic experience.
|Ticket Price Bands Explained
| Excluding
Executive Areas, there are are normally four categories of
tickets available for football games:
The most expensive tickets are for the middle tier of the stadium and on the photo below they are the red band of seats across the middle of it.
The second band of tickets are for the very front rows of the upper top tier, just above the row of executive boxes.
The third band of seats are in the mid price category and are located around the middle of the bottom & top tiers of seating.
The cheapest seats are located in three areas, where although the views are acceptable they are not as good as the other areas. The three areas are: 1) The very front rows of seats in the lower tier (if you look at the photo below they are the red seats, right down by the pitch). 2) Rows of seats at the back of the lower tier (in the photo it is the area at the back of the bottom tier, that is in shadow). Although the view is okay from this area, you feel a little cut off from the rest of the stadium, as you are sitting under the second tier. 3) Seats right at the back of the top tier, where you are furthest away from the pitch. Again the view of the playing action is fine (unless you have sight problems as you are far away from the pitch), but some of the rest of the stadium is obscured by the tubular steelwork and large video screen hanging down from the roof.
|Where To Eat & Drink?
|The good
news is that the Millennium is located right in the centre
of Cardiff. There are loads of bars and eating
establishments to choose from. In fact there are over 70
bars within a quarter mile radius of the stadium, that can
in total accommodate around 60,000 supporters! However
your choice of pubs will more than likely be restricted to
which end of the stadium your team has been allocated, as
fans then tend to congregate
in the pubs around each end. Also as
many fans arrive early on matchdays, don't be surprised
to see queues forming outside the most popular and
nearest pubs before they are due to open.
The South End of the stadium, has the larger bars centered around it in St Marys Street, where the usual names of Wetherspoons, Walkabout & O'Neils can be found. My pick of the bars in this area were the Wetherspoons outlet, the Prince Of Wales (a former theatre, where you can now have a pint in the royal box!) and if you are looking for a good pint of Brains, The Albert is just in front of the brewery. However, these pubs fill up quickly so aim to get there for opening time. Gareth Baglow recommends 'The Cottage' on St Marys Street. June Taylor informs me; 'Next to the South Stand, is a tall building called the Millennium Plaza. Upstairs you will find "Jumpin Jaks" night club, which was open before the match. Whilst every other bar near to the stadium was crammed full, with queues outside. This place was relatively easy to get into and served in'
At the North End, Danny Boy recommends the 'Owain Glyndwr' by the market and the 'Angel Bar' beneath the hotel of the same name. Whilst Bob Kurac a visiting Liverpool supporter adds; 'The City Arms is a cracking good pub, right opposite the entrance to gates 2 and 3. Two small bars, excellent ales (Brains) and a big screen for sports.' Whilst Mark Tyler recommends 'The Cayo Arms on Cathedral Road. It is only five minutes walk from the stadium, has a 'beer garden' in front of it, so if the weather's good you can have a pre-match pint while sharing some banter with the opposing fans and soaking up the atmosphere as fans stream past on their way to the match. Directions - walking away from the city centre, cross the river Taff on the bridge just North of the stadium and take the first right. You are now in Cathedral Road and The Cayo is the first pub you reach, a couple of hundred metres up on the right'.
Just off St
Marys Street is Caroline Street, nicknamed locally as
'chip alley'. The street is home to a number of kebab
shops and chippies.
|How To Get There By Car & Where To Park
|The stadium
is well signposted from the M4 and surrounding routes. On
the day of the event there are electronic signs advising
of any traffic problems/suggested alternative routes.
Unless you are going to be at the stadium several hours
before kick off, then due to traffic restrictions put in
force on matchdays, you will not be able to drive near to,
let alone park by the stadium. You will therefore have to
use the Park & Ride service which is signposted from
Junction 33 of the M4. The Park & Ride scheme is not
free; it costs £10 to park, and there are normally large
queues waiting after the game to go back to the car parks.
I would advise that you allow plenty of time for your
journey as traffic congestion along the M4 and going into
Cardiff can be quite bad. Alternatively I would advise
either stopping in Cardiff the night before, or drive part
of the way and then get a train into Cardiff (see below).
Map Showing The Location Of The Millennium Stadium (at the bottom of this page).
| Cardiff
Central station is only a few minutes walk from the
stadium, directly behind the South Stand. As you come out
of the station, the stadium is across the road in front of
you. Fans may also consider driving to Newport station and
getting the train for the fifteen minute ride into Cardiff
Central. The cost of a 'off peak' adult return from
Newport to Cardiff is £5.20 and
the trains run regularly before and after the game.
There is a long stay car park at Newport Railway Station itself, which has around 200 spaces and costs £8 for the day. Just up from the Railway Station car park entrance on the left hand side, on Faulkner Road, is a council operated 'pay and display' car park that costs £3.60 for a day, but is free on Sundays. If both these car parks are full, then there are plenty of other car parks dotted around Newport town centre, which are in walking distance of the station.
Cardiff International Airport is located just
under 12 miles away (to the West of Cardiff City
Centre). There is an hourly train service from Rhoose
station to Cardiff Central, the journey time for which
is around 30 minutes. A shuttle bus (which costs £1 each
way) runs from the airport to the station. Alternatively
there is the T9 bus service which runs every 20 minutes
during the day from the airport to Cardiff City Centre.
The journey time is around 35 minutes and costs around
£7 return.
Thanks to Owen Pavey for providing the Stadium plan and surrounding area map above.
|Stadium Tours
| The
stadium offers regular tours on most days throughout the
year. The tour itself costs:
Adults: £10.50
Concessions (Over 60's and Students): £8
Children 5-16 years: £7
Children Under 5's: Free
Family Tickets: 2 Adults + 2 Children: £32
I have been on the tour myself and would definitely recommend it. It lasts around 45 minutes and is one of the better tours that I have been on, full of interesting facts, coupled with a sense of humour. You can book the tours by calling: 02920 822 228 or booking online via the Millennium Stadium website.
|Hotel Accommodation
you require hotel accommodation in the area then first try
a hotel booking service provided by Late Rooms. They offer
all types of accommodation to suit all tastes and pockets
from; Budget Hotels, Traditional Bed & Breakfast
establishments to Five Star Hotels and Serviced
Apartments. Plus their booking system is straightforward
and easy to use. Yes this site will earn a small
commission if you book through them, but it will go to
help with the running costs of keeping the Guide going.
