Pakistan Flooding

 

Pakistanis scramble to safety in a flood-hit area of Nowshera. At least 113 people have died and thousands more have been made homeless as flash floods triggered by torrential rains hit northwest Pakistan and Pakistani Kashmir, officials said Thursday.

 

 Pakistani workers unload food packets to distribute among the families from flood affected area Charsadda at a camp set-up in a school by provincial authorities in Peshawar, Pakistan on Saturday, July 31, 2010. Flooding in Pakistan has killed more than 800 people in a week, a government official said Saturday as rescuers struggled to reach marooned victims and some evacuees showed signs of fever, diarrhea and other water borne diseases.

Tropical Storm Bonnie

Bonnie made landfall in Florida south of Miami Friday morning with top sustained winds of 40 miles per hour. The storm was on a track to pick up strength as it crosses the Gulf of Mexico, reaching the site of the massive oil spill by Sunday.  The storm already has pushed back efforts to kill the well. BP had hoped to finish drilling the relief tunnel on Friday, but had to plug it on Wednesday to prepare for the storm.

 Daniel Schorr, veteran reporter and commentator, whose hard-hitting reporting for CBS got him on President Richard Nixon's notorious 'enemies list' in the 1970s, has died. He was 93.

A Tropical Wave.....

A vigorous tropical weather system forming in the eastern Caribbean has a high chance of turning into a tropical depression or more serious tropical storm over the next two days, according to the National Hurricane Center.
If the system becomes a tropical depression, it would be the third of the 2010 Atlantic hurricane season. If it then reaches sustained winds of 39 mph, it would be named Tropical Storm Bonnie. Forecasters said the Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico, the Dominican Republic, Haiti, eastern Cuba, the southeastern Bahamas and Turks and Caicos can expect heavy rainfall and gusty winds during the next couple of days. The hurricane center warns that heavy rain could cause life-threatening flash floods and mudslides in mountainous areas.

The system could affect the Gulf of Mexico and U.S. coastal areas later in the week.

Bad weather could further disrupt efforts to clean up oil in the Gulf of Mexico from BP's crippled well, already affected in June by Hurricane Alex. The well is sealed for now with a containment cap as U.S. and BP officials contemplate a permanent solution, but a new storm could damage oil booms, force skimming boats to give up collecting oil from the surface and head to shore, and push cleanup crews on beaches to head for shelter.

Diet Pill Reviews

Are you still looking for the right diet or pill to take for your upcoming weight loss?  It's going to be necessary that you get plenty of information and each product your are interested in.  You might want to look at the quicktrim reviews listed at this certain website.

Texas Rangers

Chris Davis could be almost as important to the Rangers as Cliff Lee in seeing if Friday's blockbuster trade pays off in a division title or more at the end of the season.
You don't need defensive players you need hitters! did you see the game last night! getting dominated by the orioles what a joke! Getting sweeped by the worst team in baseball!

Men's Health

I know you've heard many times before about how men are totally different to women.  Well, that's nothing new, when you think of all the necessary things it takes to make the human body active and healthy.  Men need a good men's vitamin to support their healthy active lives. You have many blue collar workers who are at risk for depleted vitamins when their bodies sweat from daily labor.  It's necessary to replace those lost essentials these workers need to maintain a healthy lifestyle.

Herbal Mixtures Harmful

K2, Hush and Swerve – herbal mixtures treated with chemical sprays that experts say can be twice as powerful as marijuana. The synthetic marijuana is legal in most parts of Texas and the United States. But alarmed by its growing use and easy availability, states and local governments are now scrambling to take "fake weed" off the streets.  Authorities say the fake weed appears easily accessible to teenagers. It can be bought in head shops and at gas stations – and also from anyone who can buy the chemical that is sprayed onto herbs to make the product.

My Eyes

Between allergy season, and sleeplessness I have acquired bad dark circles  under my eyes.  It's as though I've been in an altercation and got the worst end of the deal.  I look like a raccoon and that's no lie.  I've tried different eye creams down through the years to no avail.  It's just very hard to find a product that really works, without spending tons of money. Since I am not endowed with a lot of money, this is out of the question.  I will read this review and check out the website for prices.
