10 And the fifth angel poured out his vial upon the seat of the beast; and his kingdom was full of darkness; and they gnawed their tongues for pain,

Power outage in New York City affects some 100,000 people Sat Jul 22, 4:24 PM ET

NEW YORK (AFP) - Some 100,000 people remained without electricity in New York City for the sixth consecutive day after a heat wave and thunderstorms knocked out the power supply.The local utility, Con Edison, struggled to fix the problem and to explain the persistent disruptions to the power supply mainly in the borough of Queens.Con Edison estimates that 25,000 customers in the area are without power,the utility said in a statement.City authorities said the figure referred to households, apartment buildings and businesses and that as many as 100,000 people had been affected amid sweltering heat.Con Edison will be working around the clock, through the weekend, to restore all customers,the company said. City authorities said thunderstorms had hampered the repair effort.

With temperatures reaching up to 30 degrees Celsius (86 Farenheit) and soaring humidity, the elderly and the ill were most at risk without use of elevators, refrigerators, air conditioners and other appliances.City authorities have launched an emergency response, deploying additional police, firefighters, sanitation trucks and assistance from other municipal agencies.Con Edison has come under fierce criticism over its failure to report the scale of the problem for several days. Initially, the company said only some 1,200 customers were affected.Mayor Michael Bloomberg said Con Edison should have informed the city government about the extent of the power outage earlier, but avoided heaping criticism on the company.The most important thing -- make sure nobody dies or gets hurt and then help Con Ed to get it back up, he said. Our job is not to vilify them. Our job is to help Con Ed to get the services back up.

ISAIAH 30:26-27
26 Moreover the light of the moon shall be as the light of the sun, and the light of the sun shall be sevenfold, as the light of seven days, in the day that the LORD bindeth up the breach of his people, and healeth the stroke of their wound.
27 Behold, the name of the LORD cometh from far, burning with his anger, and the burden thereof is heavy: his lips are full of indignation, and his tongue as a devouring fire:

MATTHEW 24:21-22,29
21 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.
22 And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect’s sake those days shall be shortened (Daylight hours shortened)
29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:

REVELATION 16:7-9
7 And I heard another out of the altar say, Even so, Lord God Almighty, true and righteous are thy judgments.
8 And the fourth angel poured out his vial upon the sun; and power was given unto him to scorch men with fire.
9 And men were scorched with great heat, and blasphemed the name of God, which hath power over these plagues: and they repented not to give him glory.

Scorching heat wave in B.C. may last several days
Updated Sat. Jul. 22 2006 11:35 PM ET,CTV.ca News Staff

Forecasters say it could be days before southern and central British Columbia get any relief from the scorching heat wave that's gripping the province. The high for the Okanagan Valley and Fraser Canyon will range between 38 C and 41 C until at least Tuesday, forecasters from Environment Canada have predicted. Kamloops set a record high Friday when the mercury hit 39 C. Port Alberni reached 37 C, Abbotsford 36 C, and even the usually-temperate Victoria hit 32 C. On Saturday it was 39 C in Grand Forks - that's 11 degrees higher than the usual temperature for this time of year. In Chilliwack, a hardware store reported running low on supplies of air-conditioners and stand-up fans, while other stores had completely sold out.

People are looking hard for something to find to keep cool, Kerry MacDonald, manager of Fortin's Home Hardware, told The Canadian Press. MacDonald added that because the store is air conditioned, people are shopping here longer. The heat has also boosted the forest fire rating to extreme in some places in the B.C. Interior, while the air quality in some centres is getting worse.

Meanwhile, emergency crews are on high alert amid fears the hot, dry weather could spark forest fires. Fire information officer Radha Fisher said no blazes erupted Saturday, likely because of a band on back-yard and industrial burning. But she warned the threat of fires still exists.

Things have calmed down, we're still in a lull, she said. However, we are looking forward to some pretty active behaviour given the forecast. Earlier in July, dry weather and lightning proved a lethal combination, prompting an early start to the forest fire season with 550 fires recorded. Many farmers have also been affected by the hot, dry weather, which has severely damaged crops. We're going to see crops be about 50 per cent of the average, B.C. Cattlemen's Association's Danielle Cuthbertson told CTV Vancouver on Friday.However, B.C. Hydro is confident that the electrical grid will be able to handle the increased demand. Elisha Moreno of B.C. Hydro said "British Columbians are very energy conscious and don't use as many air conditioners as people in Central Canada or California.Meanwhile, a heat wave that has taken hold across much of the United States is being blamed for at least 20 deaths.

The hottest temperature ever recorded in B.C. was 44.4 C, which was recorded in 1941 in Lytton and Lillooet. With files from The Canadian Press

Directions: Forest fires sweep Spain

Forest fires broke out across Spain last week, with blazes burning out of control across the scorched peninsula. As brief thunderstorms brought only temporary relief to the drought-stricken country, forest fires were reported in Mallorca, Catalonia, La Coruña, Caceres, Badajoz and Valencia. The majority of the fires were burning in remote areas of Galicia, around La Coruña, in the country’s northwest, where firefighters said that strong winds and extreme heat were hampering attempts to bring them under control. As the heat wave continues, six provinces have been placed on alert by authorities, with the elderly and parents with young children warned to take extra precautions against the heat. In addition, water levels have reached record lows. Worst affected is the River Segura valley, in Murcia, southeast Spain, where reservoirs are currently holding just 15% of their capacity.

REVELATION 6:7-8
7 And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see.
8 And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.

The death toll due to malaria outbreak in West Pokot District, Kenya, has risen to 50.By Osinde Obare

Dr Shadrack Kemei, the area Medical Officer of Health has expressed fear that the figure could be higher as there was no record of those who might have died at home.The figure is from the records we have collected from the hospitals, many could have died at home before they could seek treatment,Kemei told Kapenguria MP Samuel Moroto and doctors from Nairobi during a tour of Kapenguria Town.The disease, which broke out last January, has caused devastating effects among the locals, who rely on relief supplies. According to figures made available by Kemei, the disease claimed four lives in January, five in February, six in March, seven in April, 14 in May, nine in June and five, so far, this month.The doctors, led by Dr Ruth Rapuoda from Division of Malaria Control, are in the district to assess the situation. Rapuoda said the Ministry of Health was concerned and measures had been put in place to contain the disease.

The ministry is aware that the malaria epidemic has cost lives, but preventive measures have been taken, said Rapuoda. Measures that the ministry has come up with include a new drug, Coartem, to replace the sulphur-based anti-malaria drugs, spraying homes with insecticide and community mobilisation. She said malaria patients were not responding to sulphur-based anti-malaria drugs such as Fansider.The ministry in collaboration with the World Health Organisation, she said, had trained District Health Management teams in malaria-prone districts. Kemei attributed the outbreak to the onset of short rains and ignorance among the locals.He said hundreds of people were unable to access treatment on time because they live in remotes areas.He said the most affected areas are the lowlands, Chepareria, Kongalai, Kepenguria and Kacheliba.Kemei said about 14 000 people have sought malaria treatment at Kapenguria District Hospital since June with local dispensaries registering between 100 and 200 malaria patients a day.

THANK YOU GOD FOR POSPONING AND GETTING RID (HOPEFULLY) OF SODOMITES IN JERUSALEM.ROMANS 1:22-28

22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
23 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.
24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:
25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.
26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:
27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence(AIDS,VDS ETC) of their error which was meet.
28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;

Gay group postpones WorldPride amid war talk
The writing does now appear to be on the wall for WorldPride as Israel looks set to be caught up in a war with Lebanon Jewish columnist inciting homophobia 22-July-2006.Marc Shoffman

The Jerusalem WorldPride parade has been postponed until after the war.The organisers of the event, Jerusalem Open House (JOH), announced last night that the rally will no longer take place due to the demands it would be making on security which is currently caught up in escalating tension in Lebanon and the Gaza Strip.A JOH statement said: “This is not the time for celebrations.

The parade, which requires extensive security, will not take place due to the situation. A JOH spokesman told PinkNews.co.uk: The week of events will go ahead, from 6-12 August, but will be toned down to suit the situation in Israel.All the conferences and congresses will go ahead as usual and there will also be some form of demonstration in favour of pluralism in Jerusalem.JOH Director Hagai Elad told Israeli news website, Ynetnews.com, We are determined to fight for our right to march in Jerusalem this year.We will not succumb to the violent incitement against our community and against all the proponents of democracy in Jerusalem. The situation may appease some sections of Israel's Orthodox Jewish community and politicians who have protested against the march and in some cases offered rewards for killing a gay person.

Over 2000 leaflets were distributed in Jerusalem, reading; During this parade, 300,000 corrupt animals are anticipated to march through the holy city of Jerusalem, waiting avidly for the chance to put themselves on display before our children and our sacred Torah. They will try as hard as they can to defile as many of our innocent children as they can.Israel’s Chief Rabbi Shlomo Moshe Amar wrote to Pope Benedict XVI asking for his condemnation, he said: We ask your Excellency to issue an emotional, strong, and unequivocal call against this horrible phenomenon, in the hope that the amalgamation of protests being voiced by religious leaders... will prevent the wilful wrongdoers to damage and corrupt the ways of humanity.An Arab member of the Israeli Parliament (Knesset), Ibrahim Sarsur, said: If gays will dare approach the Temple Mount during the parade, they will do so over our dead bodies.

Rabbi Moshe Sternbuch of the ultra-orthodox Beth Din (religious court) said: "This parade poses a real threat to the citizens of Israel.Israel has called up reserve army forces, and warned Lebanese citizens to leave, as it steps up its campaign of targeting Hezbollah militants who kidnapped two Israeli soldiers and are firing rockets into nearby cities such as Haifa.Meanwhile the United Nations is warning of a humanitarian disaster and The US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice will visit the region tomorrow.

Rabbi Sharon Kleinbaum, North American co-chair of WorldPride said: I am fully committed to attending all WorldPride programs and events, traveling with dozens of my congregation members to Jerusalem with pride and anticipation next week. Now, more than ever, it is important that we demonstrate the values of WorldPride in Jerusalem a city like no other, a distinctive global symbol.

Sadly, that symbol has been hijacked to propagate fundamentalism, segregation, and conflict. WorldPride will be held in Jerusalem to reclaim the symbol that Jerusalem is, for what it was originally all about: tolerance, openness, and respect for all human beings regardless of sexual orientation, religion, gender identity, or nationality.
