Wake-up and smell the coffee

As the munchkins do some reading before bed in the reading corner of our sitting room, I decided to sit down and read a bit on the computer. Wow, I felt like I just smelled my morning coffee!

Have a read about news in the region:
http://gulfnews.com/news/gulf/uae/government/uae-stands-behind-saudi-action-to-protect-yemen-border-1.524419 From the UAE

http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/M/ML_YEMEN_SAUDI?SITE=AP&SECTION=HOME&TEMPLATE=DEFAULT from all over via the Associated Press

http://www.nytimes.com/2009/11/06/world/middleeast/06yemen.html from the New York Times

As an added interest bit, I found the following lecture summary: http://www.al-bab.com/bys/articles/schofield00.htm

And on a TOTALLY different note:
http://www.nytimes.com/2009/10/30/world/asia/30clinton.html?_r=1&fta=y Very interesting stuff.

Now, I'm wide awake. Maybe a cup of herbal tea.

Peace.
