Venezuela's opposition accused President Hugo Chávez of a "coup d'etat" after the outgoing parliament gave him the power to rule by decree for 18 months and pushed through a host of new laws.
Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez denounced that the opposition might be plotting to "destabilize" the country. He urged the people to watch out from those "groups playing to the destabilizing plot."
Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez, humbled by a cancer that has upended the OPEC nation's politics, has set clemency proceedings in motion for convicted opposition activists suffering from health problems.
Venezuela's Supreme Court blocked high-profile opposition challenger Leopoldo López on Monday from running against President Hugo Chávez in a 2012 vote despite an international ruling in his favour.
Mexico's main opposition party edged out President Felipe Calderón's ruling conservatives in a closely fought weekend state election, retaining the upper hand going into next year's presidential vote.
Political and media sectors in Peru harshly criticized Peruvian Foreign Minister Rafael Roncagliolo for his last-minute decision to void a permit allowing a British frigate to dock at the El Callao port.
Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez mounted a lavish celebration to mark the 20th anniversary of the failed coup that helped launch his political career, as opposition leaders slammed the event as a blemish on the country's democracy.
Youthful state governor Henrique Capriles won Venezuela's opposition primary on Sunday, setting up a potentially close battle with socialist President Hugo Chávez in an October election.
Venezuela's opposition primary winner Henrique Capriles exuded confidence that he can unseat President Hugo Chávez and end 13 years of socialism that foes say has left the OPEC nation in crisis.
Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez vowed to thrash newly chosen opposition leader Henrique Capriles in an October election and mocked his foes for copying him to woo voters.
Venezuela's opposition candidate Henrique Capriles slammed President Hugo Chávez for blocking a live broadcast of an opposition rally, highlighting criticism the leftist leader abuses state resources to guarantee his re-election.
Venezuelan pollsters diverged sharply over whether President Hugo Chávez will win re-election on Oct. 7 or lose to opposition rival Henrique Capriles in an increasingly close election.
Venezuelan opposition leader Henrique Capriles demanded justice for the shooting of three of his activists, while President Hugo Chavez promised to expand his socialist agenda if he wins next weekend's election.
Venezuela's opposition demanded the government tell "the whole truth" about the health of cancer-stricken President Hugo Chávez, who has not been heard from in three weeks after undergoing a grueling operation in Cuba.
Romania's opposition asked its supporters not to vote in Sunday's referendum on impeaching President Traian Basescu, in an effort to keep turnout below 50 percent and invalidate the result.
England and Russia are fully aware of the potential pitfalls of facing weaker opposition when they tackle Wales and Armenia respectively today.
Opposition deputies sent a letter to President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner requesting that she "postpone the ratification of the treaty (with Iran to jointly investigate the 1994 AMIA terrorist attack) until after the public trial over the (domestic) cover-up of the attack."

A record number of people committed suicide in Japan last year, largely as result of the nation's prolonged economic slump, government statistics revealed last month.
The National Police Agency said that 33048 people killed themselves in 1999, an increase of 185 on the record level set the previous year.
As in previous years, the main reason that people killed themselves was ill health, which was cited in 41% of the 9027 cases where the victim left a note.
However, the most notable trend was the sharp increase in suicides …

Inside the huddle, Erin Dobson seldom spoke.
Orchestrating an offense composed of five Division I pledges at the Tournament of Champions — one of California's premiere annual showcases for elite girls volleyball programs — intimidated the senior setter.
"I set them in practice all the time, so I know their styles, but it's different in matches," Dobson recalls. "I was quiet. I kept to myself early even though I'm usually a vocal person."
Prior to the tournament, Torrey Pines was on a path to recovery. The Falcons addressed a bevy of issues — lack of communication, lack of confidence, bickering and verbal and non-verbal jabs — during a team therapy session and were anticipating a return to form on the court.
However, Torrey Pines encountered another challenge. Ryann Chandler, a Pepperdine commit who sustained a concussion against Poway on Oct. 19, hadn't been cleared to play.
"Ryann is arguably one of our most important players because she touches the ball essentially every single play," said Falcons coach Brennan Dean.
"She directs our attack. She's our quarterback in a sense."
Under Dobson, Torrey Pines squeaked past two league opponents, defeating Mt. Carmel and Rancho Bernardo to extend the winning streak to five matches. The tournament, however, offered a much more daunting challenge.
It fielded four of California's top 12-ranked teams, including L.A. Marymount, which defeated Torrey Pines 29-27, 25-10 in the California Challenge, dropping the Falcons from their No. 1 ranking in the country.
"The one thing I was worried about was disappointing my team," Dobson said.
"I didn't want them to feel like we were going to lose matches because we didn't have our starting setter."
Dean knew how difficult it would be without Chandler, but never doubted Dobson's abilities or that the team could continue its success against top-notch programs. And expressed it in a team meeting.
But Dobson wasn't so sure. Being thrust into an environment of this magnitude after only starting two matches prior weighed heavily on her.
"I was nervous I wouldn't be able to provide the standard type of play that (Ryann) provided," Dobson said.
Her nervousness triggered a couple mistakes in the first game, causing the normally vocal leader to retreat to her shell.
Sets varied. Although some were perfect, many were too low or too high, while others hugged the net, forcing the hitter to adjust and triggering apologies from Dobson.
Regardless, teammates would fire back with "next play" or "forget about it," attempting to quell Dobson's worries.
It was an adjustment for everyone. Her teammates were accustomed to Chandler positioning the volleyball in certain spots. She knew their tendencies and sweet spots because they had 19 matches to tweak it.
Dobson and various hitters on the front row didn't have that luxury. Dobson had to adjust and so did they. It wasn't going to happen overnight.
"(Sets) weren't always going to be how you liked them or in the places you liked them, but we had to be patient and try not to get frustrated because it was going to take some time," said Savannah Rennie, sophomore outside hitter.
"I tried to look at it through Erin's perspective. It's tough for me, but it's even tougher for Erin because setter is one of the most difficult positions on the court and to just hop in there all of a sudden wasn't going to be easy."
Despite trailing early, Torrey Pines rallied to outlast Salinas 22-25, 25-17, 25-21, 24-26, 17-15 to advance to the next round. With the first match out of the way, the next biggest hurdle was eliminating the thoughts that consumed her mind.
"I thought to myself, 'If Ryann were in we would have won in three games,' " she said.
"I had to continue telling myself: stop it, calm down, you can't do this to yourself, you can't be that hard on yourself, it's a team game, all of us are in that situation, let's move on and win some more matches."
Her teammates challenged those thoughts with positivity and encouragement because Dobson was being too hard on herself. She was doing fine.
"We kept pumping her up, expressing our confidence in her as the tournament progressed," middle blocker Katelyn Cuff said.
"We knew she could play well. She just needed a boost. We needed her just like she needed us."
Little things helped Dobson's confidence. High fives. Hugs. Fist bumps. Dancing. Showers of "good job" and "next point" and "we have such a great connection."
Chandler, Dobson's biggest supporter on the sidelines, often leaped up and down, cheering Dobson following a point scored. She offered support vocally, too.
"During, I would try to go up to her as much as I could to tell her how great she was setting or tell her to shrug things off because she wasn't really used to the next play mentality," Chandler said.
Confidence and reassurance from teammates and Dean sparked confidence in Dobson, validating her role as one of the leaders on the court. No longer would she tiptoe around providing input. No longer would she just nod her head in agreement and say "OK." It was her huddle. And Dobson embraced it.
Against Clovis West, Dobson outsmarted a couple defenders. Libero Maddy Kerry delivered a high arching ball to Dobson near the net. Reilly Buechler, waiting on the outside, readied herself to take a swing.
Dobson set the ball, but instead of pushing it farther left, dumping it over the net into an open space on the floor for a kill of her own, leaving the two blockers stumped.
Torrey Pines finished the Santa Barbara tournament fourth, losing to Archbishop Mitty — the top seed — in the semifinals 21-25, 25-17, 25-12, 25-24 and Corona Del Mar in the consolation championship 25-19, 25-17, 24-26, 23-25, 15-8.
Torrey Pines might not have achieved the success the team wanted — claiming the Tournament of Champions championship. However, the Falcons positioned themselves for success in league play and during the section playoffs.
Without Chandler, the team was forced to rally together around Dobson, who had one week under her legs, for a respectable finish.
Their performance showed them that they could set aside their differences, overcome the turmoil experienced in the weeks prior, elevate a teammate in need, elevate their individual play to compensate and perform despite losing arguably their best player.
The team, not one particular individual, could and would achieve success.
"Being in this situation was a life lesson for me," Dobson said.
"I am capable of playing at a high level and being the leader of a group of great players. I think I kind of forgot that."

T1 Productions Presents
Lil Wyte
Outland Ballroom
324 South Ave
Springfield, MO, 65806
This event is all ages
Independence is the name of the game for veteran rapper Lil Wyte. After more than a decade in the spotlight, the Memphis songwriter has amassed legions of fans worldwide, and consistently attracts new listeners from his catalog of intense solo and collaborative albums.
On June 19, 2012, Lil Wyte will release his fifth solo album Still Doubted? via his own Wyte Music Records, in conjunction with Three 6 Mafia's Hypnotize Minds and Memphis-based indie powerhouse Select-O-Hits.
Known across the nation as Hypnotize Minds riot-starter and a living Southern rap legend, the Memphis, TN native from the north side has made a career out of jaw-dropping lyrical turns of phrase, unlimited aggressive energy, and controversial subject matter.
And that first album he was talking about? Well, that would be the now-classic debut Doubt Me Now released in 2003 on Hypnotize Minds featuring the ubiquitous pharmaceutical anthem "Oxy Cotton".
Lil Wyte's level of anonymity significantly decreased over the year thanks to Doubt Me Now and the subsequent successful projects that followed including 2004's Phinally Phamous, 2007's The One And Only, and 2009's The Bad Influence. A memorable number of episodes on Three 6 Mafia's MTV series Adventures In Hollyhood also gave Lil Wyte's fanbase a glimpse of the star's charismatic and fun-loving personality.
Work with Three 6 Mafia, Project Pat, Frayser Boy and other superstars including Juvenile, Lil Scrappy, Lil Jon, Lil Flip, DJ Kay Slay, Chingo Bling, I-20 and even Miley Cyrus's rockstar brother Trace Cyrus has continued to keep Wyte's name in demand across the country for booking shows and features.
More recently, his focus on the development of Wyte Music Records with co-CEO Rashard Partee has yielded a loyal following and impressive results.
A buzz-worthy JellyRoll and Lil Wyte collaboration "Pop Another Pill" became a viral sensation with the Partee-directed accompanying video. This track caught the attention of Juicy J and led to the formation of Caucasian supergroup SNO as a joint venture on Wyte Music/Hypnotize Minds/D Brady Investments.
Lil Wyte later linked up with Atlanta, GA rapper $hamrock to record and another venture was soon established. March 15, 2011 marked the first release on the Wyte Music imprint as Wyte and Partee executive produced $hamrock's Tha WyteRapper $how, the debut album from the ATL lyricist and Vh1 White Rapper Show winner.
After launching $hamrock's project, fans would not have to wait long for the next Wyte Music release. The aforementioned SNO LP Year-Round hit stores on April 19, 2011 and was immediately received with a resoundingly positive reception, even landing on the iTunes Hip-Hop charts at #17 for the day. Many listeners even noted Lil Wyte's return to raucous, rowdy form punctuated by an even higher level of "don't give a f***" attitude.
Lil Wyte is now in the perfect position to cement his musical mark for the rest of his career. "I want to be the guy who did whatever he wanted, he didn't care, didn't give a f**k. People will understand my music was the gateway to doing everything I was supposed to do."

The Willingness to Pay to Remove Billboards and Improve Mountain Views
We use the contingent valuation method to measure the amount citizens are willing to pay to improve mountain-view aesthetics through the removal of billboards. Our approach addresses both the perceived property rights as well as the perceptions of the status quo in the southern Appalachian Mountains. We find that individuals who retire to the mountains have different preferences for land use and mountain views than individuals who have ancestors who lived in Watauga County. In the aggregate, we find that citizens are willing to pay up almost one-half million dollars to remove billboards from Watauga County roadsides. This study provides insights to the debate surrounding land use in the mountains.

What is Diabetes?
Diabetes mellitus is a group of chronic metabolic diseases characterized by high levels of blood glucose (blood sugar). In a person with diabetes, the normal use of food for energy is disrupted because of defects in insulin production, insulin action, or both. Insulin is a hormone which assists with the uptake of glucose into the body's cells. When insulin defects are present, the normal pathway of energy production is disrupted and high blood glucose levels result.
There are three main types of diabetes:
Type 1 diabetes
Type 1 diabetes results from the failure of the insulin-producing cells of the pancreas to produce insulin. People with type 1 diabetes must take daily injections of insulin. It is thought to be an autoimmune disorder, and it occurs most frequently in children and young adults. Its onset is sudden and diagnosis is rapid after the start of symptoms. Only about 5% to 10% of people with diabetes have type 1. Type 1 diabetes was formerly called insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus or juvenile-onset diabetes.
Type 2 diabetes
Type 2 diabetes is the most prevalent form of the disease, occurring in about 90% to 95% of people with diabetes. In this form of diabetes, the body either does not produce enough insulin or it cannot use it properly. A person with type 2 diabetes can experience symptoms very gradually, often over years, thus delaying diagnosis and proper management. Management and control of diabetes is critical to preventing the development of complications such as cardiovascular disease, eye disease, or kidney disease. Type 2 was formerly referred to as non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus or adult-onset diabetes.
Gestational diabetes
Gestational diabetes occurs only during pregnancy, often in women with no prior history of the disease. Gestational diabetes requires strict management, including insulin use to stabilize blood sugar levels to help prevent complications with the baby. Women with gestational diabetes are at a higher risk of developing type 2 diabetes later in life and of having future pregnancies with gestational diabetes.
Pre-diabetes is a term used to distinguish people who are at increased risk of developing diabetes. People with pre-diabetes have blood sugar levels which are higher than normal but not yet high enough to warrant a diagnosis of diabetes. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimate that roughly 79 million adults have pre-diabetes nationwide.

I'm not sure if anyone suggested this before...
Suppose I have the ORM model named Example_Test, then I need to create a file named example_test in messages folder.
Could be nice if we could use folder/file structure for ORM validation messages, so in this case folder example, file named test.

I rented a 2 bedroom apartment at Waverlywoods Apartments in Webster, NY and was soon very disappointed in the maintenance of the property itself.I had a 1st floor apartment and could literally hear everything in the adjacent apt's, from the walking, to their cell phones vibrating, to the neighbors going to the bathroom.
I expected to hear some noise in a building like that but clearly these are constructed from the next thing up from paper. Upon moving in I soon found out that it was a fight to do laundry. The 2 washers and 2 dryers (card operated, you pre load them with $ at the office $1.55 a wash/1.40 dry) were shared not only with the 5 apts in my building, but also the 5 in the adjacent building. And quite frequently at least one of the washers or dryers was broken.
The windows on the property are the worst EVER! The plastic window kit in the winter is a must or all your heat will escape. Even with the window kit on, draft would come through the windows and blow the plastic off. Int eh summer the AC constantly runs.
Finally my boyfriend and I gave up and got fans for the windows and stopped using the AC since our $ was going out the windows in our electric bill.
Even though the women who work in the office were friendly enough. The property manager showed no compassion what so ever when all of the storage units in the building were broken into and items were stolen out of them. From my unit my Road bike worth $2000 was stolen, another tenant lost 2 bikes out of their unit (they had just moved in that day). Someone popped the metal hinged brackets off all the doors overnight.
A tenant noticed in the morning and knocked on all our doors notifying us. Upon calling the police and the office Waverly response was "call the police, your renters ins will cover it".. well news flash, renters ins doesn't cover the total amount of your lost property. They give you a depreciated amount if you don't have a receipt.
But thanks, good to know one of my neighbors or their crummy friends stole my stuff! It was also great that the emergency maintenance neglected to mention it was a break in and we all had to wait hours for the maintenance guy to come repair the locks. All of this 2 weeks before I was set to move out of that dump!
Don't ever rent from that place!They are terrible!

Maybe since your owner of the... community you could help this women. by talking to the manager and the staff of Oak Grove Apts. Because this been going on for a long time. Show more
I know exactly how she feels..seems to be a pattern with how Morgan Community runs this operation..
Manager can't give you a violation for calling the police when a women is screaming a male is running after her.. manager makes it look like (probably will try to cya cover her butt say clerical error.. name to different police agencies. Make it seem were at your place @ the same time.
Another time an officer was at your apt.. when u tell her personal reasons.. family matters.. she follows u around the back yard raises her voice makes a big scene, everyone in the pool hears her..
She has other ppl in the complex watching every move u make.. tells one guy next time hide your head when swimming in the pool when life guard is not present. The life Guard leaves pool area when ppl are in pool. Tried to explain 95 day, older ppl could have a stroke.
He said they should not be here. Should be at stroke center.. boy does he have some growing up to do.. he has to pass the American Red cross test..
#1 thing NEVER LEAVE THE POOL AREA WHEN ANYONE IS THE POOL. Asks if I want a job, I have a video.. Management laughs mokes me, life guard does ppl in pool. Try to call Kevin, health dept was called.
I get the blame.. I never called.. was laughed at all day.. life Gaurd told older lady other day not to say anything ..
they have another plan up their sleeve. When they see me if not buys one lady gets out off pool he locks it up. I was... going to tell Kevin. If I call Health Dept..
I would have sent him the video.. Their are alot more violations.. I have the all the proper codes all written out.
If your handicapped.. I am the only one without a handicap parking..
still waiting for storage.. manager in office knows I need a tub for medical, but other office lady took the apt that opened up, she was worried.. told her WHO CARES DONT WORRY ABOUT IT.. THEN tells her u make under 900 u can get snap.
Help for food. Again on Sunday. 1 yr old with young mom. Life guard leaves pool.

We, the Sparky Army, decree 2008 to be the Year of the Spark. We pledge to post a new sparky story or chapter of a sparky story every day from January 1, 2008 to December 31, 2008. Though the Powers that Be have removed Elizabeth Weir from the regular cast of Stargate Atlantis, we feel that she remains an integral part of the show, and that the relationship between her and John Sheppard is too obvious to be ignored. We hope that you, and anyone might happen to read these works, agree.
And if that isn't official enough for you, we don't know what is. Seriously, guys, we're just trying to have some fun--and show TPTB that Sparky is the way to go. So sit back and enjoy the 366 stories coming your way!
A/N: This is fic was inspired and is based on the song With Arms Wide Open by Creed. If you haven't heard the song it's about a couple who find out they are having a baby and the father is going to show the child everything and teach them everything that he knows. This is about John and his Son. There is a Reference to my stargate sg-1 drabble Series But nothing Important. Just features Kayden who is Sam and Jack's Son.
With Arms Wide Open
By atlantisbabe34
Well I don't know if I'm ready
To be the man I have to be
I'll take a breath, I'll take her by my side
We stand in awe, we've created life
With arms wide open
Under the sunlight
Welcome to this place
I'll show you everything
With arms wide open
Now everything has changed
I'll show you love
I'll show you everything
John Sheppard sighed contently as she sat softly on the balcony chairs. The soft warm bundles of blankets were clung tightly to his bare chest. He shifted his arms slightly as a whimper could be heard coming from the bundle.
"Sh Shhh" John cooed as he gently rocked his 5 day old son. The boy refused to listen to John's requests and cried louder.
"Shh Buddy. You'll Wake your mamma up. And you know she get's cranky when she hasn't had enough sleep. You'll learn that one soon enough. But she only gets cranky at me. Never at you, she loves you too much."
The baby's cries softened but had no fully stopped. Silent tears were streaming down his face as he sobbed.
"Come now William. Trust me if your mamma comes out here and see' you crying she wont be happy with me. But you'll learn that too when your older and a big boy that no matter how mad your mamma get's she still loves you." John said.
Baby William looked up at John, his sobbing subsided.
"That's better isn't it. I'm going to teach you everything and show you everything buddy. You will learn that the big wide world isn't always nice. And that Atlantis isn't always safe. But you will be loved and protected by your mamma and I, Uncle Rodney and Ronan, Aunty Teyla and Sam and Uncle Jack and Kayden. He will love you like a brother. Everyone here on Atlantis will protect you little man. And you will always be safe."
William started to squirm in John's grasp but John held him slightly together to his chest.
"Hey Now, I'm trying to tell you something important here buddy. And I gotta tell you it all before your mamma gets up to feed you. You will learn that not everyone is perfect. Even Uncle Rodney makes mistakes. And that you learn from your mistakes, so that you don't do them again. I'll teach you how to annoy Uncle Rodney too, But I'll tell you that one when your older and when your mamma isn't listening." John Smirked as he turned around to Face Elizabeth.
"Why Elizabeth Sheppard you're not eavesdropping on an important conversation are you?"
"Me? No never." Elizabeth smirked back as she sat down next to John and took William from him.
"Hi baby" She said as she prepared to nurse him. John watched her amazed.
"What was so important about your conversation?" Elizabeth asked smiling.
"I was telling Will, that I would teach him, everything. And that sometimes his Mamma get's cranky when she's tired." John said smiling childishly.
"And about annoying Uncle Rodney?"
"A conversation for another time" John winked. Elizabeth laughed and turned her attention to William was silently feeding, his eyes closed.
"It doesn't seem real Elizabeth. I mean I didn't think I was prepared to become this other person, but now that it's happened, it doesn't feel real. It feels like I'm floating. It's amazing." John said, reaching over to stroke his son's head.
"I know what you mean. It will become real. He's going to be a teenager before we know it John. Then it will be real" Elizabeth said.
"He's more beautiful then I imagined. I love you" He said leaning forward and kissed her soundly.
"And I love to too!" John cooed as he kissed the crown of William's head.
"And know this buddy. Your mamma and I will always, always love you.

Ants are used as Living Food Storage Vessels : Honeypot Ants
If someone order you to store food for rainy day then what you will do? Obviously you store food in your home with applying some preservative that not allow food to spoil. This is the same method like bees and other insect who store food in their nest or in combs. But what you will think about ants which make their body as living storage vessel .Yes these ants colony has some specialize Honeypot worker that have specialty to store food in their body. Some of these ants species only made for storage food and they will never returned to the normal life styles .But in the other hand some species use their body for temporary food storage .
Honeypot ants are very common in North Africa, part of South Africa, North America, Australia and Melanesia and also known as honey ants. Honeypot ants are extra special worker stuffed with food by workers to the point that their abdomens expand enormously and they become motionless and hang from the roof of the underground nests. Other workers take their liquid food to feed the rest of the colony whenever there is shortage of food. Whenever food is required then worker ant stroke the antennae of the honeypot ant and honeypot ant bring swallowed food up again to the mouth and other ant eat it as per hunger.
Honeypot ants not only store food in their abdominal but they also store liquids, body fat, water from insect killed and brought to them by worker ants.
Some ants take birth as a honeypot ants right from their pupa stage and live anywhere in the nest where no one can reach from outside .Honeypot ants swollen to the size of grapes and become so valuable that the raiders from other colonies who know about them try to steal these ants because of their high nutritional value and water content.
Australian Aboriginal peoples eat honeypot ants occasionally as part of their diet without cooking.

I had problem skin, dull with blackheads. After the first use the effect was amazing, skin became fresh, clean and noticeably looking healthier. I would strongly recommend to those who have greasy problem skin.

I had my doubts about this product because of the cost, but I was pleasantly surprised. My skin was glowing after use and certainly felt clean and fresh. I think the product claims are a little exaggerated but it certainly makes for a skincare treat.
