Hospices, Fair Theatre request volunteers
For the past 41 years RSVP has been linking volunteers with community needs in Floyd, Hale and Lamb counties. There are always volunteer opportunities waiting for just the right person. Our goal is to match volunteers with an assignment that will fit their schedule. Volunteer choose how many hours they wish to donate and where they are interested in sharing their time.
A recent request came from area hospices. Some of their patients could use lap blankets, caps, scarves, adult bibs, walker pockets or gowns. If you like to sew, please contact the RSVP office at 291-1223 for more information.
Have you always wanted to be in the theater? Occasionally RSVP receives requests for volunteer ushers at the Fair Theatre. It is a fun assignment with the perk of usually getting to see the show. Call RSVP for more details.
RSVP will be closed in observance of Labor Day. Labor Day became a federal holiday in 1894. It is intended to give workers a day of rest and to celebrate their contribution to the American economy.
Instead of a day of rest, for most people Labor Day weekend is set aside to enjoy the last days of summer. Many take their last vacation before fall, cook out and make the last homemade ice cream, or visit family and friends. For others it is a time to work in their yard.
Whatever you chose to do this weekend, enjoy it!
And remember, don't wear white clothes, especially white shoes, after Labor Day. Also, put your cowboy straw hat away until Memorial Day.
Oh wait, those traditions have ended. If you can find a white pair of shoes in your closet, wear them!
Linda Milner Shipp is director of Runningwater Draw RSVP.

Last week the government announced new guidelines for pap smears and mammograms. In short, the recommendations are – women don't need to have the tests as early or as often.
Last evening I heard a doctor state that the Medical board – appointed under President Bush – that reached these conclusions, recognizes that if their recommendations are followed, more women will die of cancer.
This is a prime example of how government run health care will work. Treatment and diagnostic tests will be administered based on statistics and the advice of accountants.
I don't know the exact numbers, but – for the sake of argument – let's say that only 10% of pap smears come back with a positive result – meaning there are cancerous cells present. That means 90% of the tests were a waste of time and money. Think of all the money that can be saved by delaying the beginning of testing and reducing the frequency… and only ten percent of the women tested will have a problem due to the money-saving measures.
The same scenario would hold for mammograms. Why waste all the time and money if most of the test results are negative?
Come on America! It's time to save money.
We sincerely send our regrets to those who die because your cancer wasn't discovered soon enough to save you.
Let's hear it for Government Run Health Care!

He deposited this funds amounting to (Sixteen Million four Hundred and Ten Thousand United States Dollars) for safe keeping in the Bank here in London. Previously our filed record shows that the fund was actually for a project he wanted to start in the near future (a multi million Dollar steel planting in Florida, USA) before his sudden and untimely death.
Since his death none of his relations or next-of-kin has come forward to claims this fund as the heir. So therefore I kindly seek your permission to have you stand as a next of kin to the deceased; because my bank will not release the money unless someone applies for claim as the next-of-kin to the deceased as Indicated in our operating guidelines. Please I need your urgent co-operation because I do not want this money to go into the Bank Treasury.

Consequently, I hope that my decision for contacting you will be given your genuine approval! Though I know that a business of this magnitude will make anyone apprehensive and curious considering the facts that you do not know me in person but I assure you that it is 100% risk free.

2000 Suzuki Esteem Reviews and Ratings
Wagon 4D GL
NADAguides Consumer Review
Be the first to review this 2000 Suzuki Esteem.
Rate This Vehicle
My Rating
My Review
Expert Reviews ( 1 )
For most carmakers, 1.8-liter engines mark the bottom end of the model line. But at Suzuki, a 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine powers the largest sedan the company builds. Although it sells the V6-powered Grand Vitara sport-utility, the 2000 Esteem is as big a car as we get from Suzuki.
That said, the Esteem meets the standards of the subcompact class in size and economy. It is offered as both a sedan and wagon. Both are front-drive, four-door, five-passenger cars. The wagon provides substantial cargo-hauling potential, carrying up to 24 cubic feet of cargo, at a base price less than $14,000. You're not getting a Mercedes wagon, in either size or features, but you're paying about one-third of a Mercedes wagon price.Model Lineup
The base sedan and wagon are designated GL. The GL sedan is powered by a single overhead cam 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine ($12,399) or the new 1.8-liter double overhead cam four ($12,899). The 1.6 has a 2-mpg edge in EPA testing, but the 1.8 is rated at a healthy 122 horsepower compared to the 1.6-liter's relatively measly 95 horsepower. The GL wagon ($13,399) comes only with the 1.8-liter engine.
The GLX comes with larger tires and alloy wheels, a tachometer, passenger vanity mirror, front seatback pockets and a host of power features. The GLX sedan lists at $13,899. The wagon adds a roof-mounted rear spoiler to help keep the rear glass clear of rain and snow, and lists at $14,399. A sport package, including a rear spoiler, fog lamps and any color as long as it's black, is available on the GLX sedan ($14,499).
Esteem GLX+ adds four-wheel ABS, cruise control and an automatic transmission at $15,699 for the sedan. On top of all that, the GLX+ wagon includes a sunroof and retails at $16,399.
GL and GLX models are available with the 4-speed automatic (instead of the standard 5-speed manual) for an additional $1000.Walkaround
From its clear-lens headlamps to its large taillights, the Suzuki Esteem presents itself well. The black honeycomb grille looks sharp and the car, especially the wagon, is well proportioned.
The wagon doesn't look as if its longer roof was tacked on as an afterthought for the utilitarian minded. Indeed, with the two-tone paint option ($200), the wagon is arguably the snazziest Esteem of the lot, and there is no appearance penalty for the extra utility. We even got some admiring looks from teenagers, no doubt prompted by Speedline five-spoke alloy wheels and low-profile Yokohama tires.
A remote fuel door release is standard, and the wagon's liftgate is locked and unlocked by the central locking system. A handle under the license-plate light unlatches the gate, which lifts to 45 degrees above horizontal. The gate opening and low roofline guarantee that anyone taller than 5'8'' will have to duck while loading cargo, but liftover height is only 22 inches. The load floor is flat and the strut towers intrude only minimally on cargo space. There are storage bins under the carpet and room in the right quarter panel to add a CD changer or store a first aid kit. A cargo cover, often an option, is standard on all Esteem wagons.Interior
Slip into the driver's seat and you'll notice that the Esteem GLX+ seats are full-size, with full thigh support and excellent lateral support in the seatback. Driver and front passenger have generous leg- and elbowroom, though the sunroof steals a few precious inches overhead. That's more critical in the back seat, where space is tighter all around. Technically, the rear seat has capacity for three abreast, but children will be happier in the back than the average adult male, who is left with little wiggle room.
The instrument panel is well designed and legible and the ventilation system is easy to operate. The Clarion radio, however, has small buttons that can be difficult to decipher and adjust. While the steering wheel is soft to grip, its covering is slippery. There are several small bins in the dash and map pockets in the doors.
The only interior color is a light gray. The seat upholstery has accent panels with a zigzag pattern that matches the fabric used on the door panels.Driving Impressions
Under the hood, the new-for-2000 1.8-liter twin-cam four makes 122 horsepower at 6300 rpm, a whopping 28-percent increase over last year's 1.6-liter engine. Maximum torque is 117 foot-pounds at 3500 rpm; the relatively low torque peak promises less downshifting and thrashing of the engine to get around town. The 1.8-liter engine uses a timing chain instead of the more common belt.
The Esteem's 1.8-liter idles with a vibration typical of four-cylinder engines, adding a slight but noticeable shake to the steering wheel. It smoothes out under acceleration and in normal driving. Around town, the 1.8 is a willing servant and provides ample, worry-free power. The automatic transmission delivers the same no-worries operation.
Open the throttle fast, however, and the engine announces its presence with a roar, propelling the wagon forward at a brisk clip. The transmission shifts at about 5000 rpm, well below the power peak, if left to its own devices. But hold the automatic in gear by hand (the console-mounted shifter has Drive, 2 and 1 on the quadrant, with an overdrive cutout button on the shift lever) to reach the 6700 rpm redline, and the transmission shifts so slowly that the engine hits the rev limiter. It also seems that the automatic absorbs some of the Esteem's steam. The standard transmission, available in the still-quite-nice GLX, would not only save $1000 in purchase price but also eke out another EPA-estimated 1 mpg in city or highway driving. It will also take full advantage of the engine's power band.
In highway driving, the engine emits a constant hum that's noticeable, if not objectionable, and the windshield pillars and roof rack generate a constant rustle of wind noise. The cargo area amplifies this sound, though it isn't so loud as to annoy or impede conversation. The added torque of the new 1.8-liter engine is appreciated, but the automatic still must downshift often to maintain speed through hilly terrain.
A quick steering ratio and short wheelbase make the Esteem responsive to steering input. Although there's a bias toward comfortable understeer, the Esteem will zip down a twisting road almost as quickly as the motor will pull it. The suspension is generally supple, soaking up bumps and ripples, though longer pavement waves, such as those on older concrete slabs, can induce a rocking-horse motion. Unlike many vehicles, the Esteem wagon uses the same suspension offered in the sedan, with fully independent MacPherson struts at each corner. Typically, this provides a better ride than the beam-type rear axle on many front-drive wagons.
The low-profile tires add to the responsiveness of the chassis, and their extra grip imparts confidence on cloverleaf ramps and curves. The tires are an excellent choice of rubber for an inexpensive car. The brake system uses discs in front and drums in the rear. Four-wheel antilock brakes are offered only on the GLX+.Summary
With the Esteem GLX+ wagon, Suzuki has clearly put a lot of effort into civilizing the small car. There's nothing particularly revolutionary in the resulting automobile, but it does more than what's expected of it in an economical and relatively sporting fashion.
For someone who needs to haul things on a budget, whether commercial deliveries or laundry from college, the Esteem wagon fills the bill. The GLX with a 5-speed is the best choice for economy, performance and a touch of luxury features. We only wish Suzuki offered ABS on models other than the GLX+. That said, the GLX+ is quite a package at $17,049.

More than 200 years ago, Congress enacted the Judiciary Act of 1789, directing the President of the United States to appoint in each federal district "a meet person learned in the law to act as an attorney for the United States." This person - the United States Attorney - was "to prosecute in (each) district all delinquents for crimes and offenses cognizable under the authority of the United States, and all civil actions in which the United States shall be concerned."
Soon after the passage of the Judiciary Act, President George Washington appointed 13 distinguished men to fill these new posts in the newly created federal judicial districts. Writing to the first United States Attorney for the District of New York, Washington noted that "[t]he high importance of the judicial system in our national government makes it an indispensable duty to select such characters to fill the several offices in it as would discharge their respective duties in honor to themselves and advantage to their country."
In 1820, the President was given authority to designate a Treasury official to oversee the activities of the United States Attorneys. The Congress created the position of the Solicitor of the Treasury in 1830 and empowered him to have control over all United States Attorneys. In 1861, the United States Attorneys began to work under the direction of the Attorney General of the United States. The Attorney General's full supervisory authority was cemented in 1870 with the creation of the United States Department of Justice.
Before the Civil War, the United States Attorneys prosecuted only those offenses specified in the Constitution, such as piracy, counterfeiting and treason. Congress has since added many federal offenses by statute.
Today, there are 94 federal districts served by 93 United States Attorneys. Two Presidents of the United States have served as United States Attorney: Andrew Jackson was the first United States Attorney for the District of Tennessee and Franklin Pierce served as the United States Attorney for the District of New Hampshire.

An exercise that ends with more than three quarters of your consumers calling you a liar is probably not good business. The votes are in on the Vegemite iSnack incident, suggesting that democracy and marketing might not always mix.
Never before has an Australian brand been subjected so thoroughly to the will of the people. And possibly, never again will a marketer throw his or her brand (and career) so carelessly to the mob for appraisal.
You know the story but lets look quickly at the numbers.
48,000 suggested names were entered into the 'give this stuff a name' contest. The winner, iSnack 2.0 lasted 4 days before being dumped by Kraft.
30,357 people then responded to a short list of alternative names. 10,928 agreed on an OK alternative, CheesyBite. But nearly as many disliked ALL the choices offered.
So the cheesy vegemitey substance now has a name that a substantial minority don't hate.But a stat that really shook me was found by a crowd called BCM. Their online survey of 1250 people found that 77% thought the whole iSnack thing was a "carefully crafted media stunt". Most TV, radio, print and online media commentators seemed to agree.
This, despite Kraft spokesman, Simon Talbot claiming, "At no point in time has the new Vegemite name been about initiating a media publicity stunt…The new name has simply not resonated with Australians. Particularly the modern technical aspects associated with it."
Have Australian consumers become so used to stunt marketing that they now see hoaxes and tricks where none exist? Do they expect the custodians of trusted brands to mess with their heads as a way of selling product?
A stuff-up is one thing. God knows, we all make mistakes. But to essentially be called liars by three quarters of your consumers is incredibly concerning, I would have thought.
Kraft's good-natured naming experiment has highlighted a very worrying development. And that's that our consumers no longer trust us. They are not only prepared for trickery and sleight of hand, they expect it.
Marketers, creatives, account service and channel planners will have to think differently in the future. We will have to factor in the possibility of very public consumer backlash and distrust to any communication we create from now on.

Start Forex Now Day 5
Day 5: Intro to Trading Strategies
Welcome to FxST™ Five Day eCourse – Start Forex Now!
Okay, this is the final day of the FxST™ Five Day eCourse – Start Forex Now. Clearly there's only so much that we can fit into a this quick start to generating Consistent Bullet Proof Profits. Our goal is that after this course you will a have general concept of Forex and the proper mindset to start creating your own $100,000/yr Business or more in the Forex Market.
Now lets take it to the next level and start learning how to trade with the FxST Start Forex Now eBook. Through out this series you will actually download a practice demo account and start taking the next steps to generating Consistent Profits with Emotion Free Trading. For more details CLICK HERE
The topics covered in today's course are the following:
- Margin Calls – A Deeper Understanding
- Margin Agreement – Your Brokers Requirement
- Fundamental Analysis – 6 Major US Economic Events
- Technical Analysis – 8 Forex Trading Indicators
Learning Goal: What are the 2 Types of General Trading Strategies?
Level: Beginner
Margin Calls and Requirements
Since leveraging is all about borrowing money from the broker you need to understand exactly how much risk your broker is going to allow you to take on trades. For example, assume you maintain a margin account and your positions dramatically fall before turning around and rising. Whether or not you have sufficient capital, a broker might have closed out your position during the fall to decrease the broker's risk and potential loss. That trade could have been at or near the bottom of the price fluctuation. That would result in a margin call to you and you could lose substantial sums of money even though the price rebounded after the broker liquidated your position.
Opening a Forex account, regardless of the type, is similar to taking out a rotating equity loan or maintaining an equity account. The main thing that separates them from the Forex account is that you are required to sign a margin agreement with relation to your Forex accounts. The margin agreement acknowledges that you are trading with money borrowed from the broker and that the broker can insert itself into your trades as necessary to lower its risk and protect its interest. It also explains your liability relating to any losses. After you execute the agreement and deposit the beginning capital to the account you opened, you are ready to begin trading.
Basic Overview of Trading Strategies
Technical and Fundamental analysis are considered the two main forms of analysis in both the Forex market as well the equity markets. However, most Forex traders opt for using technical analysis. The following is a quick overview of both types of analysis and how they are used in Forex trading:
Fundamental Analysis – Using fundamental analysis in the Forex market tends to be somewhat difficult and is generally used to forecast long-term trends. There are, of course, some traders who conduct their trades on a short term basis solely on economic news releases.There are many fundamental indicators that can impact the exchange rate of a currency pair that are released at various times. Below you can find a list of the most important USD news release you should be aware of:
- Core Retail Sales
- Core CPI
- ISM Manufacturing PMI
- Preliminary & Advanced GDP
- Federal Funds Rate (Interest Rates)
- Non-Farm Payrolls
Of course these are not the only fundamental indicators you need to be aware of. There are also several meetings that can provide you with additional information that may affect a market. These meetings usually focus on interest rates, inflation, and other causes of currency value fluctuation.
Sometimes a volatile market is caused by something as simple as the wording of issues such as the Federal Reserve chairman's discussion on interest rates. The most significant meetings you should be aware involve the "Central Banks." Simply studying the commentary can help Forex fundamental analysts to better understand long-term market trends and can also help short-term traders capitalize on the market.
Should you opt for the fundamental strategy, you should keep an economic calendar on hand so you know when these reports are available. Your broker should be able to keep you up-to-date on this information as well. Below are a few links to all of the Central Banks around the World:
The website below provides a Free Forex News calendar that you should make a habit of looking at everyday.
When you start trading, we recommend to sit on the sidelines and not trade during these events. News releases can create volatility in the market 15 minutes before and after the news event is released. For advanced traders we also offer proprietary trading strategies for Forex News Trading used by Professional Forex Traders.
Technical Analysis – Helps Forex traders analyze price patterns from the past, much like their counterparts in the equity market. The only difference is that Forex markets are open 24 hours every day. In order to work with that 24 hour a day time frame, some types of technical analysis need to be changed or modified. The following is a short list of technical analysis tools that are most commonly used in Forex:
- Price Action
- Fibonacci Studies
- Moving Averages
- Stochastic Oscillator
- MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence)
- Candlestick Charts
- Elliott Waves
- Pivot Points
There is so much more information to cover, that cannot all be fit into a 5-day course to learn but again this is a free five day course.

On June 22, 2009, Minnesota adventurer Andy Knapp lost his gallant fight with cancer. He will be sorely missed. Andy was an extraordinary man, in body and spirit, continually pushing himself to the bitter edge of his physical limits. His kayak and bicycle trips are legendary: twice he biked alone to Alaska—once, before the highway was paved. On one spring day, he became bored with the city and set out to see how far he could ride his bicycle in 24 hours. He left Minneapolis early one morning and cycled to the Grand Portage on the Canadian border—300 miles away! He shrugged it off as "just a day's ride."
The former Canoe and Kayak contributor finished the first 30-day circumnavigation of Lake Superior in 1996 without resupply. He paddled extensively in the wilderness waters of the upper Great Lakes area, Baja, Alaska, Florida and beyond. A long-time employee of Midwest Mountaineering, he is often credited with literally launching the sport of sea kayaking in the Midwest and established Midwest Mountaineering as the premier source for sea kayaks.
Some years ago, I attended a Bell CanoeWorks-sponsored canoeing and camping trip in Florida. About twenty luminaries of the sport were invited, Andy Knapp was one of them. The idea was to compare different Bell boats and share our observations. In the evening, beer in hand, bonfire roaring, the banter was always about canoes and canoeing. The one dissenter was Andy, who preferred to talk about global warming, the poor, homeless, politically harassed and those without equal opportunities. Andy was moved by people not by things. He rode his bike to work even in the dead of winter to save money and the planet. "Got snow tires", he proudly announced.
Andy lived close to the land. He didn't have an expensive house or an expensive car. Monthly bills were always a challenge. But this didn't bother him at all. What he wanted most was what was best for the world, even if it meant less than the best for him. He really was a remarkable man—not because of his kayaking and bicycling accomplishments or the brave way he fought his cancer, but because of his concern for others and his personal struggle to make this a better world.
Andy Knapp lived his life the way most of us should. His legacy is one of kindness, caring and unselfishness. Andy dreamed of a better world. He is there now.

In trying to remember why, it was probably due to Toomanygamesitis, where one buys more games than they have time to play. Rather than completing any one game, said individual plays each game for about a week or two, then moves on to the next shiny new one.
Anyhow, I did it justice this time and my opinion of the game has jumped a bunch. Great combination of action, story, cheesy cutscenes with mostly bad acting, and skill levels. Weekend Warrior is perfect for me.
Just started playing No Regret. I love the little enhancements they've made to the UI and the game still runs like a dream on my P200MMX.

Who Is John of God?
There is an extraordinary gentleman on the planet by the name of John of God. I recently had the most amazing experience with him. I sought his help for a second time for my excruciating neck pain that first arose just before the taping of my newest Public Television special, I Can See Clearly Now.
This healing took place remotely while John of God was at his home base in Brazil and I was in my hotel room in Carlsbad.

PORT-AU-PRINCE (Reuters) - Soccer-mad Haitians are revving up to watch the World Cup on large-screen televisions at makeshift camps, their first collective therapy since the devastating January earthquake that killed up to 300,000 people and left more than 1 million homeless.
In the crowded camps in the Haitian capital and other quake-stricken areas, people say they are ready to watch the World Cup even though Haiti's team did not qualify for the month-long event that starts on Friday in South Africa.
"I lost everything I had in the disaster and I can't help thinking about how miserable my life has become," 36-year-old Jean-Marie Sannon told Reuters on Thursday.
Sannon stood under a makeshift tent in an overcrowded camp in the Champ de Mars area near what remained of the presidential palace that collapsed in the magnitude 7 earthquake that hit on January 12.
He said that if Brazil wins he will be happy for the rest of the year.
"I probably would have become crazy if the World Cup were not organized this time around," Sannon said. "But if Brazil is champion, I'll spend the rest of the year celebrating even without a dollar."
The government and several national and foreign sponsors have set up giant screens in popular areas, around tent cities and elsewhere to help residents watch the games.
"During the World Cup I probably will continue to go hungry and to face all the problems I have been facing, but I don't think I'll have time to think about that," said 27-year-old Norluck Moreau.
"I'll be watching the games," said Moreau, listening to a sports broadcast from a small radio. "The World Cup is the greatest therapy I could ever have and I'll enjoy it to the fullest."
The Minister of Culture and Communication, Marie Laurence Jocelyn Lassegue, said at least 137 municipalities had received two large-screen television sets and one generator each, to make sure soccer fans can watch the competition.
"We have made sure television stations around the country received the satellite signal so that they may carry the live transmission of the World Cup," she said. "It is a good thing that they can watch this together and have some fun."
The director general for the National Telecommunications Council, Marcelin Montaigne, said the government has provided funds to the state-run national television station to help it establish relay stations throughout the country to make the games available to as many people as possible.
The communication director for the U.N. peacekeeping mission, David Wimhurst, said two giant screens have been set up in the capital's stadium to allow about 10,000 people to watch the games every day.
"People will have to pay 10 Haitian gourds (about 25 U.S. cents) to watch the games. They pay this small fee just to help control the crowds," Wimhurst said.
The money will be given to the Haitian soccer federation to help families of players killed in the earthquake.
Haiti's only participation in a World Cup was in 1974 in Munich and the Haitian national team was eliminated in the first round.
Brazil, Argentina, Italy, France, Germany and Holland are respectively the foreign sides with the most fans in Haiti. There has been a growing support for the South African side and other African teams, particularly when playing against other sides that are not on the Haitian's favorite list.
"My team is Argentina, Messi is the world's best player and Maradona was a phenomenon as a player and he will surprise as a coach. So watch out!" said 40-year-old Joanne Lucien.

Marvel Entertainment Group completed the overhaul of its management team by tapping a Walt Disney Co. executive to head a new division.
Ken Lewis joins as exec VP-strategic alliances, from director of participant marketing at Walt Disney Attractions.
The hiring marks a shift in Marvel's marketing approach and rounds out a team put in place by President David Schreff, himself hired in September from a senior marketing post at the National Basketball Association.
Marvel's other new exec VPs include Michael Dresner, former VP-international TV at NBA Properties, now charged with extending the Marvel brand into theme parks and restaurants; and Sandra Wildman Padinos, former president of public relations agency Padinos Ink, who now oversees corporate communications.
Mr. Schreff also got a new boss recently when Marvel parent MacAndrews & Forbes Holdings tapped former Turner Entertainment Group executive Scott Sassa as Marvel chairman-CEO. Messrs. Sassa and Schreff will lead Marvel's transformation from a struggling marketer of comic books and trading cards to a broad-based entertainment company modeled after Disney. `REINVENT MARVEL' "We have to reinvent Marvel for a new generation of kids and young adults who have many other competing interests and entertainment options," Mr. Schreff said. "We have to take our properties and make them relevant in all forms of media." Those properties include Marvel comics, Fleer/SkyBox trading cards, Toy Biz toys and Marvel Studios. Marvel is trying to rejuvenate core characters like Captain America and Iron Man, while growing its Spider-Man and X-Men franchises. It's also rethinking retail strategies and is expected to create new products targeting demographics other than pre-teen through young adult males. CHANGING TIE-IN STRATEGY Mr. Schreff said Marvel is looking to borrow ideas from both Disney and the NBA to create programs for marketers. The company in the past has developed tie-ins with brands like Good Humor, Kool-Aid and Pizza Hut. "But we haven't sold multibrand, multiyear sponsorships, which is a big transition from where we are now," said Mr. Schreff, adding that he's already put in calls to such big-league marketers as McDonald's Corp. and Coca-Cola Co. "We want to offer marketers one-stop shopping for superheroes. In turn, we need their help in marketing our brands and products."

World cannot stand aside from Libya, says Cameron

David Cameron: "We have got to prepare for what we might have to do if Gaddaffi goes on brutalising his own people"
Continue reading the main story
Libya Revolt
* Libya updates Live
* Uprising in maps
* In pictures: Libyan unrest
* Rebel strengths
The world cannot "stand aside" and allow violent repression to continue in Libya, David Cameron has told the BBC.
The prime minister said he spoke to US President Barack Obama on Tuesday as forces loyal to Libyan leader Col Gaddafi launched more air strikes.
Mr Cameron revealed they discussed a "full spectrum of possible responses", including a no-fly zone over Libya.
Foreign Secretary William Hague earlier said a no-fly zone was a practical possibility but needed broad support.
He said the UK and France were drafting a UN resolution relating to a no-fly zone.
'Terrible things'
Mr Cameron told BBC One's The One Show he had discussed preparations for future options with the US president.
He said: "We have got to prepare for what we might have to do if he [Gaddafi] goes on brutalising his own people.
"I had a phone call with President Obama this afternoon to talk about the planning we have to do in case this continues and in case he [Gaddafi] does terrible things to his own people. I don't think we can stand aside and let that happen."
Number 10 said the telephone conversation with the White House agreed the objectives of securing an "immediate end to brutality and violence", and the departure of Col Gaddafi.
A Downing Street spokesman said: "The prime minister and the president agreed to press forward with planning, including at Nato, on the full spectrum of possible responses, including surveillance, humanitarian assistance, enforcement of the arms embargo, and a no-fly zone.
"They committed to close co-ordination on next steps."
'Historic times'
Mr Hague faced criticism after a botched SAS mission in Libya last week but he pledged to continue to seek solutions for "momentous events".
Labour had accused the government of "serial bungling" over the attempt to make contact with those leading opposition to the rule of Col Gaddafi.
Six soldiers and two others described as Foreign Office officials were detained for two days by rebels in eastern Libya but were freed on Sunday and left the country.
Addressing the criticism, and questions from former Liberal Democrat leader Sir Menzies Campbell over his enthusiasm for the job of foreign secretary, Mr Hague said: "These are historic times and momentous events are taking place.
"All of us who have taken on the job of shouldering responsibilities at this time must see those responsibilities through an extended period of time in the face of any criticism or setbacks.... that's how I feel about it."
People's wishes
Mr Hague said plans to impose no-fly zone over Libya to ensure Col Gaddafi's aircraft were kept grounded needed "clear legal basis, demonstrable need, strong international support, and broad support in the region and a readiness to participate in it".
He said: "What we call for is for Gaddafi to go, for people in Libya to be able to have the representative and broadly based government they want.
"But, of course, if that scenario changes, if it goes in other directions, well, then we have to look at other options as well, but I think we are not in that position yet."
The foreign secretary was speaking at a joint news conference with Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas at the Foreign Office in London.
Mr Hague added that uprisings in the Middle East and North Africa must not be allowed to derail the Middle East peace talks between Israel and the Palestinian Authority.

FlickrCC is a great hack by Peter Shanks using the Flickr API to search and retrieve images from Flickr that are covered by Creative Commons. Just a couple of weeks ago I really needed something like this for a class project where I was applying some apothegms on top of images for a presentation. Because it was so time consuming/clunky to search Flickr itself for CC images I ended up just using pictures that weren't covered by an open license and hiding them behind a private label. Disappointing, because it ended up being a good slide show to walk through an interesting article that I would have loved to have made public. I'm so enamored by Flickr for education that I'm hoping to aggregate more hacks and tips on how to use it in educational settings. Think of this as the first tip.

Viewing this sunrise from my bedroom window recently reminded me of of some verses here that fuel my faith with hope and peace.
Then a few days ago someone sent me a link to a new to me modern Christian worship song, "Praise to the King" by Corey Voss that expresses some of the amazement, peace, and hope I feel about life as I reach out to know God through Christ.
How is your life impacted by faith?

Why are Facebook, YouTube and Twitter featured on the SES New York agenda? Isn't this a natural as finding lions, and tigers, and bears in the forest?
According to comScore qSearch 2.0, there were 2.7 billion expanded search queries conducted on YouTube and 206 million conducted at Facebook in February 2009. And according to Hitwise Intelligence, the top websites visited after people use Twitter are…wait for it…Google, Facebook, TwitPic, MySpace, Twitter Search, Yahoo! Mail and YouTube.
Okay, so Twitter's clickstream profile is much closer to a social network than to a search engine. But I could say that about YouTube, too. And Google bought YouTube for $1.65 billion in October 2006. And last April Fool's Day, InfoWorld joked about Google buying Facebook, because Google was losing too many of its top people to Facebook. Meanwhile, in another part of the forest, the Motley Fool has just published an article entitled, "Google, Just Buy Twitter Already."
So, it's really not that surprising to find Facebook, and YouTube, and Twitter at SES New York. We're not in Kansas anymore.
In fact, social media has worked its way into the agenda in lots of places and over several years.
On Monday, March 23, there is a training workshop entitled, "Corporate Blog Strategies: Blog Your Way to Success." It's being taught by Jennifer Evans Laycock, Director of Social Media at SiteLogic, and Matt Bailey, an SES Advisory Board member and the President of SiteLogic.
On Tuesday, March 24, the opening keynote at SES New York 2009 is entitled, "Twitter as a Tool for Social Media." It's being given by Guy Kawasaki, the author of Reality Check and Founding Partner of Garage Technology Ventures.
Pauline Ores, an SES Advisory Board member and Senior Marketing Manager of Social Media Engagement at IBM Corporation, is speaking at the "Beyond Googling: Where Will Your Customers Be Searching in Five Years?" session.
And Matthew Liu, the Product Manager for YouTube Sponsored Videos, will be speaking at the "Video Search Engine Optimization: 2009 and Beyond" session.
On Wednesday, March 25, the "Small Voices, Big Impact: Social Media for the Little Guy" session is another example of social media working its way into the agenda. And the speakers include: Amber Naslund, the Director of Community at Radian6; Jennifer Evans Laycock, Christina Kerley, Marketing Specialist at ckEpiphany; and Tim Kendall, Director of Monetization at Facebook.
And there is a session entitled, "Social Media Marketing for Brand Building" that features Dave Evans, VP at Digital Voodoo; Hollis Thomases, Founder of WebAdvantage.net; and Harry J. Gold, CEO of Overdrive Interactive.
Oh, and there's a "Facebook Workshop: Harnessing the Social Graph." The speakers are Kasey Galang, Product Marketing Manager of Facebook and Rebecca Sawyer, Online Sales Operations Manager of Facebook.
On Thursday, March 26, there isn't even an effort to disguise the social media sessions. In fact, there is a "Social Media and Blogging Track."
• The first session in this track is entitled, "An Update on Social Media Optimization." And one of the speakers is Dave Snyder, Co-Founder of Search & Social.
• The second session is entitled, "4 Views of Social Media: Planning a Successful Social Media Strategy." The moderator is Pauline Ores.
• The third session is entitled, "Online Communities: A Bonanza of Content for Searchers and Search Engines."
• The fourth session is entitled, "Online Communities: Blogging for Business." One of the speakers is Jennifer Evans Laycock.
That's right. They walk among us!
And it's hard to tell when you're talking with a search engine marketing expert and when you're talking with a social marketing expert. It's sort of like Americans and Canadians or people from the East Coast and people from the Left Coast. If it wasn't for a few trick phrases, you'd never be able to tell them apart.
So, to help you navigate this socially awkward situation, here's an SEM guide to Facebook, and YouTube, and Twitter. Oh, my!
Block: A Facebook term that means to prevent someone from searching for and viewing your profile. This is not to be confused with a "text block," a term that SEMs might use describe various elements that are considered parts of normal text.
Block: A YouTube term that means certain content which violates YouTube's Content ID usage policy will not be allowed on its network. This is not to be confused with the phrase "around the block a few times," which might mean an SEM remembers the "Florida" update of November 2003.
Block: A Twitter term that means discovering new people on your Twitter Block by navigating through this animated three dimensional visualization of who follows whom. This is not to be confused with the expression "chip off the old block," which might mean a young SEM submits to DMOZ just like his old man did.
Hmmm. We may need to call for backup.
Okay, I didn't want to do this, but I'll use YouTube to illustrate the difference between a search engine marketing expert and a social marketing expert.
In the example below, a Canadian interviews an American. Can you figure out which one is a search engine marketing expert and which one is a social marketing expert?
Small Business Viral Marketing Tips, SES San Jose 2008
Here's another example. An East Coast guru interviews a Left Coast guru. Can you tell which one is a social marketing expert and which one is search engine marketing expert?
John Battelle on Google Universal Search at SES NY 2008
If you still can't tell the difference between a search engine marketing expert and a social marketing expert, then we may need to "Test Your Awareness." This is something that I learned about at SES London last month. Watch the video below and count the number of passes the team in white makes.
Test Your Awareness: Do The Test
Now, did you see the moonwalking bear?
That's what I'm talking about. If you are focused on search engine marketing you may not see social marketing — until someone calls your attention to it.
Okay, that's as much help as I can give you. At Search Engine Strategies New York, you may need to develop your own techniques for sorting this out. But whatever you do, pay no attention to that man behind the curtain.

Did you say vagina? Shh… we don't talk about that!
I am a very chatty
person throw me a topic and I can chinwag for hours, but if the conversation were to
move to a discussion about intimate lady areas it would be the perfect way to
keep me quiet.
"Our mission is to improve the intimate health of women everywhere"
What is it about
saying the word vagina or speaking about intimate health that makes us cross
our legs and head for the nearest conversation exit?! It's quite daft really as chances are we all have had similar concerns or problems. According to research
conducted by intimate health experts Vagisil, a shocking 1,000 British women were discovered to have a significant
lack of knowledge about intimate health…so why don't we talk about it ?
Some of the many facts from Vagisil research
- The average woman has said the word vagina 13 times in the last
· Perhaps worryingly 54% of women
wouldn't ask someone to have a look if they encountered a problem with their
· Those who would seek an outside
opinion would most likely get a doctor to look at it (67%), while 50% would ask
their partner
· More than one in ten women thought the
normal pH level of a vagina is the same as water (12%). A third thought it the
same as the rest of a woman's skin. 53 per cent thought neither. (Your vagina
has a unique pH, normally between 4.5-5.0)
· A third of women think the outside of
every vagina pretty much looks the same
- 2% of women are uncomfortable even mentioning
the word vagina in daily conversation
With this
all in mind Vagisil have launched a brand new campaign to encourage us women to
learn more about our vaginas. The Vagisil Let's Do Something
campaign is all about gaining confidence to talk about your vagina
without the fear of embarrassment and helping you to become more aware
of your intimate health.
have over 40 years of experience therefore if any company is going to
know about any concerns, then they are the people to help. Women don't want to talk about their vaginas and won't search out help if there is a problem, so I've listed some of their products below which help with common problems.
daily care and treatment products are all specially designed to help cleanse,
protect and maintain the health of your intimate area. Read some real reviews from real women here.
The best ways to keep yourself clean and fresh is with Vagisil Odour Shield Intimate Wash or Spray. Borg of these help to simply keep you fresh all day long.
PH Balance
To maintain a healthy PH balance try Vagisil pH Balance Intimate Wash, which is meant to be great even for very sensitive skin
Rash, Irritation or Itching
Try the Vagisil Dual Action Intimate Wipes and these are ideal to pop into your handbag, but there is also Vagisil Medicated Creme. You can use these to soothe but also when you feel the need to quickly freshen up.
Moisture, Sweat and Chaffing
By using the Vagisil Moisture Shield Intimate Powder it helps to absorb any moisture and illuminate odours.
Whilst writing this post I've even discovered more myself! For example did you know there are more
sweat glands in your intimate area than under your arms?!
If for any reason you have got concerns about your vagina I do
encourage you to seek help, however Vagisil have a page to give guidance
from their intimate health experts so make sure you have a look.

However, when her husband's degenerate nephew is found murdered, it's more than the ball that is ruined.
Lady Montfort fears that the official police enquiry, driven by petty snobbery and class prejudice, is pointing towards her son as a potential suspect. Taking matters into her own hands, the rather over-imaginative countess enlists the help of her pragmatic housekeeper, Mrs. Jackson, to investigate the case, track down the murderer in order to clear her son's name.
complete with a ton of twists and turns that kept me on my toes. I didn't know who to trust as nearly all the guests seemed guilty in having a motive to off Teddy.
There was a never dull moment. I loved the little history lesson that the book gives, touching on the Suffragettes and the opinions that people have of it. I especially enjoyed how Arlen explored all the different viewpoints that the characters had.
The partnership that formed between Mrs. Jackson and Lady Monfort as they played investigators into Teddy's murder was really enjoyable. I'd love to read more of these two solving murders as they make quite the team. It truly felt like a historical version of Midsomer Murders which, as a member of a family which adores the show, was great.
Death of a Dishonorable Gentleman has quite a satirical humour that made me occasionally laugh. It was funny without be obvious.
It's Downton Abbey meets Midsomer Murders and I absolutely loved it. I am so fortunate to have had the chance to have had an ARC of this book. I thoroughly look forward to reading more from Arlen and this series.
Hope you have a great day! Happy reading!
Until next time,
All opinions reflected in this post are completely my own. Thank you to everyone at St. Martin's Press for granting me the ARC in exchange for my honest review.

Semenax to boost Sperm
Semenax is a powerful sperm booster that can help men increase their ejaculation. In puberty, the same hormones from the pituitary gland that stimulate a woman's menstrual cycles start the male process of sperm maturation. However, may continue to produce sperm all his life, without ever using up his renewable supply. If he remains relatively healthy, sperm will always be present in his semen, even if he reaches his 80s or 905. Learn more about Semenax at http://increase-sperm.org/semenax/.
Another difference between men and women (and there are certainly plenty!) is that in only one month an egg fully matures and is released, Jut it takes about three months to form, mature, and release sperm. This explains why it takes so long to see a positive change in a man's semen quality if he undergoes a treatment designed to improve his sperm production thanks to Semenax available at http://increase-spermcount.com/2015/01/15/semenaxreview/.
Semenax to boost Sperm
The illustration above shows the steps of sperm cell production inside the seminiferous tubules which can be boosted with proper Semenax Supplementation. In step 1 of the sperm production cycle, the parent cells (spermatogonia) each divide into two new, round cells. These duplicated cells will continue to grow and divide, but the parent cell will remain in its original state, always ready to make new copies of itself.
Like all other body cells, the parent cells and each of the two new copies have exactly 46 chromosomes. These chromosomes are tiny rod-shaped structures made up of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid), the genetic building code of living creatures. Chains of DNA form into genes, nature's blueprint. Within its 46 chromosomes, each cell has all the genes needed to build a complete human being. The 46 chromosomes are contained in the nucleus, or central structure of each cell, and actually form 23 pairs. Twenty-two of the pairs match, although each paired chromosome carries slightly different versions of the same genes (for example, a gene for blue eyes on one member of a pair, and one for brown eyes on the matching chromosome). The last pair of chromosomes includes the X and the Y, called the "sex chromosomes" because they determine a human being's gender. A female has two Xs and a male has an X and a Y.
Boost Sperm Cells With Semenax
In step 2, as the second generation sperm cells continue to divide, a special process, called meiosis, takes place due to the increase in Semenax. In meiosis, the chromosomes pair up during cell division, but then only one member of each pair enters each of the two new cells. These cells, called spermatocytes, contain only 23 chromosomes. During meiosis, the genes shuffle around somewhat between the paired chromosomes, so that each spermatocyte contains a unique combination of genes. And of course, each spermatocyte either contains just one X or one Y sex chromosome. Since the egg from the mother always contributes one X chromosome during fertilization, it is the sperm from the father that determines the sex of his future children. If you want too shoot more semen than get your bottle of Semenax today!
