The 1936 Alvis 4.3 has been described as one of the greatest achievements of the pre-war British industry and the fastest non-supercharged car of its day, but fewer than 200 were built before the Second World War bombs began dropping, with just a dozen clad in rakishly elegant Vanden Plas touring bodywork.
Which made the odds on owning one of the latter long indeed. Or at least they were until last year when Alvis Car Co. of Kenilworth, England, began offering "Continuation Series" examples of the 1936 4.3 Short Chassis Tourer.
They're referred to as "continuation" cars because they are considered part of the original series rather than merely modern replicas. Apparently, the Alvis board back in the day approved construction of 77 chassis that were never completed before production halted in 1940.
The new ones, being constructed to order at $316,000 a pop, come with original series serial and chassis numbers and are built to the original body and mechanical specifications, aside from a few minor tweaks to comply with modern emission and safety demands.
Why would anybody want a freshly screwed together and very expensive modern day iteration of a 1930s Alvis sports car? Well, not many have so far – only three have been completed – but a case of sorts can be made.
The 1930s was a wonderful period in the history of the automobile as those designing and building them had largely figured out what they were doing and cars, particularly of the British sporting variety, were both wonderful to look at and, in some cases, improbably fast.
Unfortunately, the truly interesting ones, such as the Alvis 4.3, are often so rare only a lucky few ever get the chance to slip behind the wheel of one. And when they do, they often drive them like the fragile, expensive and mainly for show vehicles most have become.
The surviving 11 of the dozen 4.3 Tourers built have sold at auction for twice the price asked for a new one. But after acquiring a "continuation" Alvis, its owner would presumably feel his spirit freed to drive it as the original 1930s-era tearaways did. Back in the day, they'd have had "supercar" status and been considered an "absolutely wizard motor, old chap."
There was little magic in the Alvis makeup, however, the company having been created as a serious-minded engineering firm in 1919 before becoming Alvis Cars & Engineering in 1921, with engineer Geoffrey de Freville providing its first engine and the Alvis name. Which he says was simply made up and then framed in an inverted red triangle badge.
During the 1920s, de Freville's side-valve and later overhead valve fours powered innovative and well-engineered models, which proved successful – although sales numbered only in the hundreds. Alvis supplied rolling chassis that were then bodied by the well-known coachbuilders of the time.
In 1926, a newly ambitious Alvis entered a supercharged straight-eight-engined racer in the British Grand Prix, which practised but didn't compete, although Alvis models were successful in other forms of competition. Later in the decade, a six-cylinder engine was developed along with an advanced front-wheel-drive model, the first of this type to go into production in Britain. A team of supercharged eight-cylinder front-drivers finished first, second and third in class in the 1930 Tourist Trophy races.
The 1930s saw the arrival of the sporty six-cylinder Speed 20, which was followed by the larger-engined Speed 25, predecessors of the 4.3-litre. By this time, the amateur motor racing elite of the day considered Alvis on a par with the likes of Lagonda, Bentley and Aston-Martin. It also began producing aero-engines and armoured fighting vehicles.
The seven-main-bearing, 4.3-litre engine was announced in 1936 and gave 137 hp at 3,600 rpm and 175 lb-ft of torque directed to the rear wheels through an all-synchromesh four-speed gearbox. It was available with short- or long-wheelbase versions of a sturdy ladder-frame with independent front and live axle rear suspensions. Techy touches included Clayton Dewandre vacuum-assisted cable-operated brakes, driver-adjustable Luvax dampers and hydraulic jacking and central oiling systems.
They were fitted with various sporting and saloon bodies, the sexiest of which was the Vanden Plans Touring four-seater with its cut-away doors and fold-flat windscreen. It could accelerate to 100 km/h in 11.5 seconds and had a top speed of 170 mph.
The modern version is based on works blueprints and is a close-to-exact copy from chassis to engine but made from modern materials and with its engine featuring fuel injection and electronic management to meet emission requirements. A collapsible steering column, seatbelts, brighter lights and hydraulic brakes are also part of the package. You can also order extras like five- and six-speed or automatic transmissions, power steering and various luxury trims, plus a satellite navigation system.
The company building it is actually a "continuation" version of the original itself. Alvis was taken over by Rover and then British Leyland in the 1960s, and car production ended in 1967 (it continued to make armoured vehicles). This was followed by the creation of Red Triangle Autoservices, set up to maintain and restore the 22,000 cars the company had produced since the early 1920s. Red Triangle was in turn taken over in the early 1990s, later acquired the Alvis name and established Alvis Car Co., which is building the current 4.3 Tourer.
If you want one of these superb-looking 1930s throwbacks, just call in your order and send Alvis a cheque for $316,000 and, within a few months, one will arrive on your doorstep. What you'd do with it then is problematic as it won't comply with Canadian road regs, but where there's a will there's often a way.

About the Creator
In my childhood, several people influenced my love for nature. On our many walks, my storytelling grandfather would fascinate me with the names of plants and their purposes. My mom's childlike delight in even the simplest things taught me to be visually aware. My dad gave me my love for birds. For years I painted murals featuring birds, insects, animals, grasses, and wildflowers. Painting murals gave me an opportunity to display the things I learned to love as a child. On a walk a few years ago, it occurred to me that if birds could build nests, then they could make hats. This thought has been the inspiration for many bird and animal portraits. My current works take what I enjoyed in murals and put them onto canvas. With each painting my goal is to evoke feelings of peace, joy, and often humor. If I can positively impact someone with my art, then I have reached my ultimate goal – to serve.

South Inc Nashville Reviews Three Preselling Methods
When it comes to online marketers, even big business, preselling is something that they typically do the wrong way. Sometimes you can pick up an ebook on a related topic, but this isn't specifically discussed. If you do online advertising and marketing, by using this approach, you can have a dramatically positive effect. South Inc in Nashville TN is extremely good with doing this and in this review, you will definitely learn how they work. So read this article because it talks about three powerful tips for more effective preselling copy.
One of the most powerful methods to capture the attention of people is with a good story that is told well. All throughout history, people have told fantastic stories. There is a reason that they do this. You should do this (tell a story) whenever preselling copy for your product or service. It should be done at the right times, and you can use this in a variety of ways to your benefit. You can actually start with a small story regarding the product you are promoting in a particular situation. Within the story itself, you should only reference the product indirectly, without using its name. You can have great conversions doing this, plus you can test to see what works the best.
Here is a tricky thought - you are not selling when you write presell copy, yet, on the other hand, you actually are. That is not meant to confuse you but rather refine what you need to do in all presell copy. The operations team at South Inc Nashville reviews the following idea with each and every one of their team members. So pay attention. When you write this, you discuss features and benefits of the product or service without actually selling it. If you want to be totally neutral, you can always find negative aspects to any product or service.
Alternatives are also worth discussing. The reader can think about those as well. When you do that, you are telling them that you are not concerned with their choice. You will appear to be a friend, trying to help them make a decision, instead of someone trying to sell them something.
For further sales and advertising tactics, be sure to drop by http://jobsearch.money.cnn.com/ on their social profiles and websites. These folks have a lot of very useful data for any individual in marketing. For more information on the marketing and sales firm all together, make sure that you see South Inc Nashville TN ratings. There's rather a lot of great material for entrepreneurs and sales representatives with that site.
One thing you should do is choose important goals, related to pre-selling, that you can use later on. The niche that you are focusing on, you should establish yourself as an expert in this particular field. The information, therefore, that you have should be very specific information, not superficial. To find this information, simply research the product or service you are working with, to achieve this goal. You will definitely reap positive rewards when you do this in a credible manner. It is much easier to get people to take you seriously when your content is not always a sales pitch trying to sell them something.
When it comes to using preselling, it is useful with selling physical products, or selling anything with your e-commerce site online. If you have a service-based business, this can also work to improve your revenues. Universally, preselling is something that works with virtually anything. That is your task even though you have read this article. With any luck, you've learned a technique or two through this review relating to South Inc in Nashville, Tennessee. There is much more you can learn, and it will make you a stronger marketer.

In love with this bag
I was really needing a backpack to go to clases and work and when I saw this one on the store I fell in love with it, obviously I bought it. I have had it for a year and so and I used it almost every day and it still in perfect shape. It did not have any problem or flaw, so if you are hesitating to buy it or not, just do it! You will not regret it
Disappointment 101
I literally searched for weeks for the perfect backpack and was so excited when I found this beauty. My excitement dissipated when the backpack arrived, however, and I could tell the quality was fairly shoddy. The leather is super cheap, the straps are too short, the back pocket is only big enough for a small laptop, and the side pockets are barely big enough to hold a very slim bottle of water. That being said, I thought I could deal with all of these issues. Fast forward a few weeks and now the strap is breaking loose from the body. Ladies, save your money . . . this backpack has a ton of issues.
Hi ilizewski, We're sorry to hear about your Nirvana Backpack. Someone from our team will be in touch soon. - Free People
After wanting this backpack for years I finally have my hands on it. Due to other reviews, I was worried that the quality would be flimsy and easily breakable. Although I'm yet to properly use my bag, the quality looks to be superb and looks to be able to hold up a good amount. Only difference to pic is the inside is baby blue which I prefer anyway!
Love the bag, but it fell apart.
I got this bag (multi-black) as a Christmas gift and was so excited to finally have it! I waited over a year for them to come back in stock. After wearing it out 3 times the strap ripped off and the piping in the front came out. I couldn't believe a bag like this could be falling apart so easily. I've had bags from free people before that have at least a good 3+years of use before they fell apart. i wore it out for a few lunch dates, wasn't like I took it to a concert or had 500 things in it. So disappointed , wish it was better put together .
Hi Stevie_Marie2195, We're sorry to hear about your backpack. Someone from our team will reach out shortly. - Free People
beautiful, with minor issues
This backpack is by far the most beautiful thing I own, however, when I took it to a music festival this past summer, not only did the zipper break (which was highly inconvenient), but the dye from the leather rubbed off all over my back and clothes. Fortunately, when I took the backpack back to the store the staff was very helpful and they replaced it. It's a shame I can't use this during my summer travels due to the black greasy dye that melts off.
nice but not quality
really lovely at first, but not solid construction. The zipper broke and lots of bare loose threads constantly coming loose. I wanted this to be my little black back pack I could use all the time. But zipper is broken and now is just sits in my closet mocking me with its siren like beauty. haha... love the style tho!
Hi CoraMarie, We're sorry to hear about your backpack. Someone from our team will be in touch shortly. -Free People
I received this back pack for my birthday and was in love! It's so beautiful and the colors are so vibrant. I just brought it on a short vacation with me, and on the last day, the strap completely broke. I am so disappointed. I only had a couple things in it (some clothes and an iPad), nothing so heavy that it would cause the strap to break. The poor quality is shocking. I will sadly be sending it back.
Gorgeous and unique
This backpack instantly became my favorite thing that I own. I used this as my high school backpack my last semester of school and it held up pretty well. Nothing has come undone except a few areas of the stitching. You won't be able to fit a ton of textbooks and things like that in it, but if you are looking for a bag to put a book or two in, or just an an alternate purse if you want extra room, this is perfect for you. I think it's best as a carry on. It would also be great for festivals, amusement parks, or when you're on vacation doing a lot of walking, sight-seeing, and shopping. My backpack is hands down my favorite item; I'm in love with it!

The US Secretary of State should have resigned before giving in to the hawks on the Iraq war, writes Maureen Dowd.
When Colin Powell decided that Dick Cheney's crazy "fever," as he called the Vice-President's obsession with linking September 11 and Saddam Hussein, was leading the country into a war it did not need to fight, he should have bared his heart to the President and made his case using the Powell doctrine - with overwhelming force.
George Bush probably wouldn't have listened. He was in Cheney's gloomy sway, and Rummy's bellicose sway. And Bush felt competitive with his more popular top diplomat. But Powell should have tried.
And if Bush didn't listen, Powell should have quit and not let himself be used by the Vice-President and his "Gestapo office" of Pentagon neo-cons, as Powell referred to them, to put a diplomatic fig leaf on a predetermined war plan and to present bogus intelligence to the UN.
He knew his word held enormous weight around the world. And he knew he was the only one, out of all the officials in on the clandestine rush to war, who had fought in a war. He should have spoken up for all those soldiers who would fight and die and be maimed for Cheney's nutty utopian dream of bombing the world into freedom, and Bush's dream of being so forceful with Saddam, the slime-bag who survived his father's war, that he would forever banish his family's bete noire - the wimp factor.
It would have been much more honourable than playing Achilles sulking in his Foggy Bottom tent, privately pouting to Bob Woodward that he had warned the President about the Pottery Barn effect - break Iraq and "you know you're going to be owning this place" - and tattling that his colleagues were engaged in "lunacy."
"At times, with his closest friends, Powell was semi-despondent," his pal Woodward writes in Plan of Attack. "His President and his country were headed for a war that he thought might just be avoided, though he himself would not walk away."
Woodward, who is channelling Powell, as he has done to present Powell's side of the story in past books, re-creates his innermost thoughts: "He saw in Cheney a sad transformation. The cool operator from the first Gulf War just would not let go. Cheney now had an unhealthy fixation. Nearly every conversation or reference came back to al-Qaeda and trying to nail the connection with Iraq. He would often have an obscure piece of intelligence. Powell thought that Cheney took intelligence and converted uncertainty and ambiguity into fact.
"It was about the worst charge that Powell could make about the Vice-President. But there it was."
Everyone in Washington has been puzzling over how Cheney, a reasonable, cautious, popular man in the first Bush administration, turned into Pluto, king of the underworld and proponent of worst-case scenarios and pre-emption.
But Powell shared his dread, Cassandra-like, with Woodward: "The more Powell dug, the more he realised that the human sources were few and far between on Iraq's WMD. It was not a pretty picture."
The plans for invading "The House of Broken Toys", as the CIA referred to Iraq, may not have been sitting on Bush's desk, as he has claimed, but he secretly started planning with Rummy for war with Iraq in November 2001, and with Tommy Franks the next month.
Once they were thick into the planning, Bush couldn't turn back, of course. That would have made him like the loathed Bill Clinton - a lot of bold talk and not much action - not like "The Man," as Cheney called his warrior President.

Flickr Adds Facebook-Like 'People You May Know' Tool
Flickr on Thursday announced a "People You May Know" module that suggests mutual friends and contacts to add to your account, based on your current network.
Bearing a striking resemblance to Facebook's "People You May Know" tool, a small box with contact suggestions can be found on your Flickr home page. Suggestions can be turned off by clicking the 'x' button to the right of the person's photo.
"We think that Flickr is the best way to keep up with what's going on in your world and share your photos with the people you care about. With millions of members on Flickr, there are bound to be a few you have missed along the way," Denise Leung, Flickr product manager, wrote in a blog post.
In the same post Flickr also announced a new integrative feature with Facebook, which lets you cross-check your Facebook contacts to add to Flickr. You can already do this with your Gmail, Yahoo and Hotmail contacts.
Also on Thursday, the company announced OpenID for Flickr, which will allow users to sign into the photo site using their Google account. "We're pleased to announce Google as our first partner, but stay tuned as we continue to add even more in the future," Flickr said.
In June, Flickr and Facebook unveiled a "new and improved" way to share photos on Facebook. After connecting your Facebook and Flickr accounts each public photo or video uploaded to Flickr will show up in your Facebook feed.

NFL notebook: Packers WR Nelson gets $39M extension
Jordy Nelson had a secret on the way to the first practice of Packers training camp.
It didn't take long for the rest of his teammates to find out.
Green Bay's leading receiver now has a deal commensurate with his production after signing a contract extension just before taking the field Saturday morning.
"So I was like the last one in the locker room and waiting on the paperwork to come down to get it done," Nelson said.
Soon enough, Nelson told fellow receivers and the quarterbacks. Coach Mike McCarthy found out in the middle of practice.
NFL.com reported the terms were a four-year, $39 million deal with an $11.5 million signing bonus.
"He said he re-signed and he was really happy," quarterback Aaron Rodgers said. "Now he can buy all the land in Kansas. I'm very happy."
Nelson, a Kansas native who attended Kansas State, posted career-bests of 85 catches and 1,314 yards last season. The 2008 second-round pick has developed into one of the top receivers in the league with his ability to make sideline catches.
49ers RB Hunter out
Training camp is not even a week old and already the 49ers' depth at running back is about to be tested.
The 49ers said reliable backup Kendall Hunter tore the ACL in his right knee during Friday's practice, ending his season before it began. Hunter started training camp where he has been most of the last three years: as the No. 2 running back behind Frank Gore.
The injury leaves LaMichael James, rookie Carlos Hyde and rehabbing Marcus Lattimore as the most likely candidates to fill the void in San Francisco's running game.
"You just got to try to play for him," James said. "That's the way I got to look at it, is to try and go out there and compete."
RB Rice backed by wife
The wife of Ravens running back Ray Rice had an influence on why Rice received only a two-game suspension stemming from the assault charge he received earlier this year.
TheMMQB.com reported that Rice's wife, Janay Palmer, asked NFL commissioner Roger Goodell to go easy on him. Rice was indicted on a third-degree assault charge after a physical incident with Palmer, then his fiancee, at an Atlantic City hotel in February.
Palmer reportedly "made a moving and apparently convincing case to Goodell during a June 16 hearing ... that the incident in the hotel elevator was a one-time event, and nothing physical had happened in their relationship before or since," according to TheMMQB.com.
Around the league
Jaguars receiver Cecil Shorts III will miss at least two weeks with a strained right hamstring. … Chiefs tight end Sean McGrath retired from the NFL.

After stunning cases such as "Big shadow" or "Rec You", japanese agency GT Tokyo can be considered as having one of the most original approaches on digital ways of communication.
I think this campaign called Love Distance that they created last November for Sagami Original is fantastic too. Sagami produces the thinnest condom in the world (0.02mm thin) and to promote this they created a story about two lovers living in Fukuoka and Tokyo respectively, separated 1000 kilometers from each other. To prove their love, they run to meet on Christmas Eve.

It's hardly surprising that gaman ("perseverance") is the watchword of many a local movie. Just as their heroes gut through to glory in film after film, real-life Japanese endure everything from deadly natural disasters to boring meetings, telling each other to ganbaro ("keep trying"). How admirable, this national stoicism!
But sometimes the smartest, if toughest, thing to do is quit. You know that you are never going to be a major league slugger or concert pianist, even after years of do-or-die effort. You accept being a loser because the alternative is more wasted time, more painful confirmation of your own mediocrity.
This sort of turning point, as common in real life as death or taxes, is understandably seldom the theme of commercial films, since the audience is paying for hope, however distant, not unpleasant truth. So Keisuke Yoshida's "Bashauma-san to Bigmouth (The Workhorse and the Bigmouth)," which makes quietly powerful drama out its heroine's floundering career (or rather non-career) as a scriptwriter, is an outlier.
The story, which Yoshida wrote himself, is based on his own decadelong struggle to become a director, as well as his own realization that he was, as he says in a program interview, "not a genius, as I had believed myself to be, but an ordinary person."
The goofy title gave me the impression I was in for a quirky comedy, especially since that is what Yoshida supplied so amusingly in his 2008 "Jun Kissa Isobe (Cafe Isobe)." Instead the film is naturalistic to a fault, as though Yoshida had secretly filmed an actual scriptwriting class and transformed the results into his fictional story with minimal (at times too minimal) changes.

Even so, he skillfully, if unobtrusively, shapes his material to his own ends. He makes us understand and like his two principals, even when they are at their most pathetic or obnoxious.
The bashauma (workhorse) of the title is Michiyo Mabuchi (Kumiko Aso), a 34-year-old aspiring scriptwriter who has been plugging away at her craft since her school days, but has never sold anything. Then Kiyoko (Maho Yamada), a close friend and fellow scribbler, suggests they try a scriptwriting course for adults. In class, they encounter Yoshimi Tendo (Shota Yasuda), a 26-year-old with reddish hair and a know-it-all attitude, who confidently proclaims his own talent, though he has yet to write a line. He is, of course, the title's "big mouth."
Michiyo cordially dislikes this upstart and when, out of the blue, he proposes that they date so he can gather material for his first masterpiece, she contemptuously brushes him off.
In a typical romcom, this would be the start of a bumpy but finally beautiful relationship. Michiyo, however, means what she says: This workaholic scripter not only keeps men at arm's length, but slacks off at her part-time job at a ticket agency and neglects her sweet mom (Yoneko Matsukane) and dad (Jun Inoue) in the countryside, all in single-minded pursuit of her goal.
She is not too proud to grasp at straws, though, as when a casual remark by a director visiting the class sends her pleading to a former boyfriend and failed actor (Yoshinori Okada) for a volunteer gig at an old-folks' home where he works. Soon after, she starts writing a script based on her own awkward attempts to empathize with her charges, but with a much younger woman as the heroine.
So far, so self-delusive — and nothing improves quickly or obviously for these two, which may try the patience of those used to the faster, more predictable rhythms of local zero-to-hero films, with their false dawn or two before the inevitable triumph. And yet every encounter between this oil-and-water pair, as well as their wounding brushes with the harsh realities of their trade, works changes on their inner chemistry, changes that made me tear up as the credits rolled — and not because Mendelssohn's "Wedding March" was playing over them.
Aso has made a career of playing comically offbeat characters and Michiyo, with her nerdy glasses and slightly pixilated earnestness, is yet another. But she is also a complexly constructed, entirely believable woman, not a cartoon.
As Tendo, pop star Yasuda (Kanjani8) seems to be reprising his own brash, down-to-earth self. Even so, he wisely plays off the more experienced Aso instead of trying to noisily upstage her.
None of this means "The Workhorse and the Bigmouth" will be a hit. The odds, in fact, are quite against it. But this onetime Little Leaguer who never learned to hit the curve ball can always hope.
Fun fact: Director Keisuke Yoshida's first film, "Nama Natsu (Raw Summer)," won the Grand Prize of the Fantastic Off-Theatre Competition at the 2006 Yubari International Fantastic Film Festival.

Ever wondered how SNSD maintained their slim figures? During the SBS Lunar New Year special, "Star, What Are You Doing?", SNSD's trainer (Kim Ji Hoon) revealed some details about their diets. "Before an important broadcast or a concert, the girls eat about 1500 calories," he explained. "They would usually eat seasonal vegetables, 5 heads of broccoli, 100 grams of baked chicken breast, 150 grams of brown rice." When asked about their regular diet, the trainer replied, "Because they like snacks and junk food, they usually eat very well." Looks like SNSD got an increase in calories from their 1200 calorie diet. Small wonder that their figures draw so much attention - that diet would require a lot of self-control!

Aptheker, Herbert, ed., A Documentary History of the Negro People in the United State 1910-1932, 1973, reprint, Carol Publishing Group, 1993.
Aptheker's renowned historical study of African-American history relies on original documents—including essays, reports, speeches, letters, and news articles—from people who lived during this time period. Collectively, the book offers a good picture of what life was like for African Americans from 1910 to 1932. Among the many topics covered is peonage.
Earle, Jonathan, The Routledge Atlas of African-American History, Routledge, 2000.
This book chronicles the four centuries of African American history and culture in the United States, from the arrival of the first African slaves in the early 1600s to the present day. The book contains short essays on everything from politics to sports, and each topic is depicted with photographs, charts, graphs, maps, and other illustrations. The book also features a chronology of African history from 3200 B.C.E. through the late 1990s.
Elkins, Marilyn, August Wilson: A Casebook, Garland Publishing, Inc., 2000.
Originally published in 1994, this revised collection of essays explores several aspects of Wilson's life and career, including the playwright's creative process, his famous collaboration with theater director Lloyd Richards, and the various contexts of Wilson's plays. The book also includes a 1993 interview with the playwright.
Handy, W. C., Father of the Blues: An Autobiography, Da Capo Press, 1991.
Through songs like "Joe Turner's Come and Gone," W. C. Handy chronicled the African-American experience through his blues music. In this autobiography, Handy explores the roots of jazz and blues and discusses the background of some of his most famous songs.
Herrington, Joan, "I Ain't Sorry for Nothin' I Done": August Wilson's Process of Playwrighting, Limelight Editions, 1998.
In this book, Herrington discusses the development of three of Wilson's plays, Joe Turner's Come and Gone, Fences, and Ma Rainey's Black Bottom. Through her analysis, Herrington explores the various experiences in Wilson's life that influenced his drama.
Schwartzman, Myron, Romare Bearden: His Life and Art, Harry N. Abrams, 1990.
Although Wilson and Bearden came from distinctly different backgrounds, they captured the African-American experience in similar ways. Bearden captured it with art, and Wilson through plays—which were sometimes inspired by Bearden's art. This book offers a look at Bearden's life, and features both black-and-white and color reproductions of many of Bearden's works. It also includes several interviews with Bearden.

Photos of the ship and some of the stops on a week long cruise to the eastern caribbean on the Voyager of the Seas
Great, thanks! http://cruise-chat.com/groupee_commo...icon_smile.gif
Those were absolutely awsome thanks for sharing.
Just though I'd get my VOS pics on the main page again.
Trying to keep the memories alive
Hi eetonaee,
There were four of us on the Voyager on March 3 - 10...wasn't that a very nice cruise...Thanks for the Pictures I will add them to my collection....We've been on 18 cruises and that one was in our top 5 now....Weather, ship, people, ports...all added up to a GREAT time...
Thank you for the great pics
It was in the top 2 of the 5 we've taken. It's too bad to see some people didn't have a great time.
If you cruise with a positive attitude I think you're guaranteed a lot of fun.
Looking forward to my next one.

About 20,000 machines are generally located away from the High St in small shops, pubs, or garages; a market the banks are moving out of.
Treasury inquiry into cash machine charges
The Treasury Committee is interested in receiving evidence from members of the public of specific areas where access to free machines is limited, and individual cash machines where clarity of charges is inadequate.
If members of the public wish to draw the attention of the committee to an individual machine that does not prominently display a warning that a charge will be made, they should give the location of the machine, and if possible supply a digital picture.
A selection of views that Money Box has received:
I would object strongly and start shopping for a new bank if mine charged me for withdrawals, but I see getting cash from other companies' machines as a convenient privilege.
Banks are in business to make profits, too, so they have to make a judgement between imposing charges and losing customers.
It is not practical for me to visit my "home" bank branch since I am based overseas and travel a lot.
The latter would seem to benefit everyone including the retailer, who thus reduces the cash they are carrying.
I also bank in the US. Here, you always get charged for using another bank's ATM, but cash-back from shopping with a debit card is free nationwide and a great convenience when travelling. Pete Newman
There should not be any charges for using a cash machine. The machines benefit the banks, saving them from having to employ more people.
They cannot have it both ways. They make vast sums of money from the slow process of cheque-clearing and the exorbitant charges for writing letters and so on. Therefore they should stop being so greedy.Jennifer
No matter what the circumstances I never use cash machines that charge to withdraw my money. It is akin to yet another tax on hard earned money!Colin Morrison
I would rather have the choice of using a cash machine in my local village shop, even if it does cost me £1.50 to use, as opposed to having to drive into my nearest town, pay to park and then walk to the cash machine in the centre of town.
If the choice is a fee charging ATM or no ATM at all then surely a fee charging one has to be better. No-one is forced to use it.
I would not expect to pay to use my own bank's machine, but I do not really see why I should expect other banks and building societies, with which I have no relationship, to provide me with free services.
I don't expect Curry's to replace a faulty TV that I bought from Comet because it happens to be more convenient for me to take it back to them, so why should I expect the banks to do similar.Darren Harley
I am against charges for cash machines. If you are of limited means, for example, a pensioner, unemployed, or sick, you would have no choice but to pay a fee.
Since it is probably the little-used dispensers which will carry charges, they may well be placed in "undesirable" areas of deprivation or financial lack.
The banks are happy to ignore people of limited means, as they do not have much financial clout.
I think the banks should show some sense of social responsibility, taking some of their substantial profit to subsidise the lower end of our society.
Do they have no social conscience?
While staying at Hamble, Hampshire, I needed to withdraw some cash. I went into my bank branch in the village to use the machine.
To my surprise I was told it would cost me £1.50 to withdraw my money. I aborted the transaction and went to another bank where I was not charged. Crazy or what?Doreen Lampard
As most of the machines that charge are in out-of-town locations, such as village pubs, general stores and so on, the fee covers the convenience factor.
I suspect the whole argument just boils down to "lets bash the banks" this week.Peter Jones
I refuse to pay for my own cash which the bank makes money on every month. Even though they pay me interest they still make their margin.
People should boycott cash machines that charge for your cash. Then they would soon be removed.Jim Leighton
I will not pay to withdraw my own money. Wondering who is watching and whether the machine has been tampered with stops me using them in UK.
However, I do find them very useful abroad in the most out-of-the-way places. But even then we are wary and use ones attached to banks in a room with an armed guard on the premises.
I also object to paying bank charges on the few occasions when I am overdrawn, and always write for a refund.
G Lillis
Pensioners, and those on small incomes, only draw out tiny amounts as this is all we have, and a blanket charge will often hit the poorest people the hardest. Brian Jackson
When people say "paying to get out their own money," it is not quite true.
In our modern world we expect ultra-convenience but are unwilling to pay the price.
That said, unfortunately it will be the elderly and unemployed who bear the brunt of this menace. The rest of us use credit cards to buy mostly everything and rarely need to use this type of ATM.David Jin
As a busy sixth form student, I do not have a lot of time to do paid work and so my spending is limited.
I will normally only withdraw £10 a time from cash machines. I rarely need to spend more. So why should I pay £1.50 (15%!) to withdraw my own money?
I should not have to, and so refuse to use charging machines.Hereward Mills
I am convinced that if people were aware the cash machine companies could make 30 pence per transaction from the banks and keep withdrawals free for the customer, then more would refuse to pay such high charges.
It was said that 90% of people accept the charge. But that is because most people who do not accept the charge avoid the machines altogether. You can usually tell which machines will charge.
Make these convenience machines obviously free and the volume of use will instantly increase. I for one would use them all the time!Isabelle McNeill
It is a return to the old days, when customers withdrawing cash from an "away" branch were charged the indispensable phone call to their home branch for authorisation.
Why not scrap the interest paid on current accounts, a risible 0.1%, and use the proceeds to cover the bank's costs when withdrawals are made from another bank's machines.
In France, there is no interest on current accounts, but four to eight cash withdrawals per month are free of any charge and can be made from any bank's cash dispensers anywhere in the country.RS
I refuse to pay to get my own money out of a cash machine, that may even have been tampered with by fraudsters attempting to record the details on my debit card.
That way I am not having to pay for the privilege of withdrawing my own money, and I can be certain my details are not being recorded by thieves!David Edwards

Love and Theft vs. George Strait – The Showdown
To get to the Showdown Hall of Fame, 'Runnin' Out of Air' by Love and Theft is going to have to top the new single from a country music legend. After besting Montgomery Gentry's newest on Friday and Friday night on Taste of Country Nights radio, the duo's new song will square off against 'Give It All We Got' by George Strait.
Strait's single is arguably his best in years. Like usual, there's nothing flashy about the love song — the singer breathes life into every word to make the honest expression feel like one handwritten just for you. Fans of both artists will be battling all day today to crown a champion for Tuesday.
Listen to clips of both Love and Theft's and Strait's songs and vote for your favorite here. You can vote once every hour online, so come back and vote often to be sure your artist wins.

Showdown Rules: The song with the most votes wins, and the winner goes on to face a new challenger in the next Showdown. Vote as much as once per hour online, and as much as you want by calling (888) 678-9995. If a song wins five days in a row, it will be retired into the Taste of Country Showdown Hall of Fame to allow for new songs to compete. Some songs will be considered for a second Showdown if voter turnout is healthy in a losing effort.

Mills praise for battling York
York manager Gary Mills hailed his side as they halted a run of two straight defeats with a 0-0 draw with Gillingham.
Last Updated: 13/02/13 1:13pm
York manager Gary Mills hailed his side as they halted a run of two straight defeats with a 0-0 draw with Gillingham.
After leaking eight goals in their past two games, Mills was pleased with the way his side responded and he was also pleased with the impact Michael Rankine had after rejoining the club on loan from Aldershot.
"That was a whole-hearted and committed performance from us to get a result," said Mills.
"We got a clean sheet as well that we are thankful for after what has happened over the past few weeks. It's not been easy for us, but to put in a performance like that I thought my players were outstanding.
"We were on the front foot first half and I think they only had the ball in our box about three times. We had to do a bit more second half but I'm pleased for everyone at this football club that we've got a clean sheet.
"If you get a clean sheet you don't lose and it's as simple as that.
"When you concede goals everyone looks at the back four and the goalkeeper but that starts at the front. Michael's performance upfront was immense.
"We didn't create as much second half but his performance was outstanding for me and it's possibly what we've missed in recent weeks."

Jones legend lives on at 17
By BBC Sport Online's Stuart Roach at Royal Lytham
Cut into the front of a fairway bunker on the trap-infested 17th hole is a piece of granite more significant than any other item of Royal Lytham memorabilia.
A plaque marking the spot from which Bobby Jones struck a crucial mashie shot to all-but clinch his victory here at the 1926 Open highlights a doubly significant spot.
Not only does it mark the point on which Lytham's first Open Championship was effectively decided, it also serves notice that even the legendary Jones found trouble on this hole.
No hole at Royal Lytham St Annes has more bunkers to negotiate.
No par four has more yards to cover.
New bunkers to the right of the fairway (taking the total number to a staggering 21) now encourage players not to overcook their drive, making for a long approach on the dogleg hole.
Infamous stumbling block
All in all, it is one of Royal Lytham's toughest tests.
Even Friday's early starters, bathed in sunshine and free from the burden of a seaside wind, found trouble.
By the time the hole had welcomed its 100th visitor of the day, only three had managed birdie.
The first of those had come from the first group, in-form Swede Niclas Fasth serving little notice of the nightmares to come.
Jean Van de Velde, no stranger to late round horror shows, racked up a bogey in the second group, but it was in the three behind that things started to go really wrong.
Jesper Parnevik's surge up the leaderboard came to a grinding halt at 17 as he missed the green to the right then duffed his chip straight into a bunker.
His share of the lead had gone, but Parnevik was happy to have only shed one shot.
Japan's Toshiaki Odate was so far left with his approach that he needed the help of the spectators to find his ball.
"Left a bit, forward, right there," shouted a group from the packed grandstand.
Odate thanked them, hacked out and gracefully accepted an eight on his way to an 80.
Lytham's remarkable magnetic sand continued to cause problems at 17 throughout the morning.
With so many bunkers littering the route, there is always the danger of finding one.
But finding three is hard to swallow.
Peter Lonard suffered the fate when he found sand to the left, just short of Jones' plaque.
The Australian sensibly chipped out, but then found a greenside trap with his third shot, before shanking his escape into the next trap along.
Tom Watson, in the same legendary bracket as Jones, also tasted a bit too much sand, an attempted carry from a huge trap to the right of the green flopping into the bunker that had completed Lonard's hat-trick.
Their hapless statistics may have had something to do with the fact that so many groups had become log-jammed behind the threesome of Phil Mickelson, Nick Faldo and Robert Allenby.
Twenty minutes after the previous three had vacated the green, the trio ambled up the fairway like three old codgers playing a club friendly.
Mickelson had already become the first player of the day to find sand on Jones' side of the fairway and the trio eventually limped away with faces as long as the hole itself.
But none of them could have been feeling as bad as Mark McNulty.
The Zimbabwean was two over for his round and comfortably heading for cut survival when he carded a seven at 17.
Clearly shaken, another seven followed at the final hole and six dropped shots in the final two holes of the day meant it was bag in the boot time.
McNulty, like the rest of the Lytham field, did not need a plaque to tell him where the nightmare had started.

Only going to be a short chapter.
"Jo your early."Steve said, as she walked through the door.
"Yeah, well I was up early enough."she replied.
"You okay?"Mike asked,
"Fine."she said.
"Anyone want a coffee?"Steve asked, to break the awkward silence.
"Yes please." Mike said, standing up.
"No thanks. Makes me want to throw up."Jo replied, screwing her face up in disgust.
"Äre you absolutely sure you are okay?"Steve pestered.
"I'm fine. Just drop it Steve."Jo snapped, walking into the change rooms.
"Is she okay? I know it has been nearly three months since Adam left her."Mike said.
"I know she has taken it hard."he replied, rubbing his head.
"I am in the room you know."she said, startling them both.
"Sorry, but it's true."Mike said.
"Do you have to rub it in? So what, he left me. Big deal."she said, checking over what they needed for the day.
"I think you need to take some time off, to clear your head." Steve said, standing up.
"No. I am not taking time off."she said. "I am going for a walk. Don't even bother following me."
Outside in the carpark.
'God I am so going to throttle him."Jo thought as she crossed the carpakr back to the hospital.
What she didn't hear was the screeching of an oncoming car. Before she knew it she was on the ground, unconcious.
I know it is only a short chapter. I bet you guys hate cliffhangers. I will update soon. :)

The Majesty Awaits You: Majesty of the Seas Cruise Review by LBontheSEA
Overall Member Rating
The Majesty Awaits You
Destination: Eastern Caribbean
Embarkation: Miami
Some staff on the ship were not very friendly, but the most part, the service was good. Our room attendant took wonderful care of us and went above the call of duty to make sure we had everything we needed. The ship itself is a well kept vessel and the staff take pride in keeping it that way.
The ports with the exception of Key West were disappointing. First stop was Nassau Bahamas, which in 2010 you were able to enter the Atlantis Hotel and walk through the aquarium and admire the art work. On this trip we were only allowed to enter the casino and More enter the shops. Its now a $40 fee per person to enter the main hotel. It is actually cheaper to purchase a day pass from the ship verses the hotel. But we still had a ball in Nassau. Due to the high winds, we were not able to get off at Coco Cay. We had hoped that the ship would find another port to visit, but they didn't. So we had a great day on the ship. Key West is wonderful for shopping, just ask my wife, who received a huge bargain at the Coach store.
The comedian was ok, the dance production was very good and quest was off the hook. The Cruise Director made sure everyone had a great time all day long. There were a lot of great singers at karaoke night. Over all, it was a good cruise besides a couple of disappointments. The small ship experience allows you to meet more people and feel a little closer. The couple traveling with us, Mommy4lyfe and her husband were celebrating their 10th Anniversary (CONGRTAS!!) and they were wonderful to cruise with. This cruise is a quick get-a-way vacation to relax and have fun. If asked if I would cruise again on the Majesty of the Sea, the answer would be YES!! Less

Miley Cyrus and Bret Michaels' Duet 'Nothing to Lose' Is Catchy, and Maybe a Little Creepy
Miley Cyrus and Bret Michaels are striking up quite the musical relationship, for good or for ill.
The Hannah Montana star—who's recording a cover of "Every Rose Has its Thorn" by Michaels' former band Poison—also lends her pipes to Michaels' latest single, "Nothing to Lose."
Catchy? Sure. Got a good beat you can dance to? Okay, why not? But all of the swelling strings and crashing power chords in the world can't mask the slightly creepy subtext of a 46-year-old hair-metal gigolo—who pretty much perfected reality-TV sleaze with his Rock of Love dating show—and a 17-year-old Disney princess singing about falling for each other.
Give it a listen below and share your thoughts in the comments section.

The Public Education Foundation awarded nearly $770,000 in college scholarships to more than 370 Clark County students today.
In the past two decades, the nonprofit education group has awarded $8.6 million in scholarship money to thousands of high school seniors in Las Vegas.
The foundation, which operates the Teachers Exchange supplies warehouse and a leadership academy for Clark County School District administrators, the is the largest manager of scholarship funds locally.
The scholarships, which range from $500 to $5,000 annually, were provided by community leaders, businesses, organizations, individuals and families across Las Vegas. They were awarded today at the foundation's annual luncheon at the Venetian.
The foundation culled through hundreds of applications and awarded scholarships based on a variety of criteria, such as academic achievement, planned area of study and financial need. Other scholarships are more unique, such as one for tall students.
"We are proud of his community's commitment to our 2014 scholarship recipients," Judi Steele, the foundation's president and CEO, said in a statement. "These scholarships wouldn't be possible if it weren't for the generosity of our donors and their dedication to help students continue their education."
The number of scholarships has grown exponentially over the years. In 1994, the Public Education Foundation awarded $16,000 in scholarships to 19 students.

1. Typical. Everyone else reckons Drew Petrie's just about the nicest bloke in footy, and Andy Demetriou paints him as an intimidatory stand-over man.
2. Speaking of which, taking the Lachie Hansen approach to playing when you've got no idea what's going on around you might be preferable to the sober alternative if this game pans out like everyone thinks it will.
3. Carlton. Essendon. Richmond. St Kilda. There's been a lot of hot air blown up all of them - and they'll all be watching North Melbourne play a final through the bottom of a glass. Go the Spirit.
4. Apparently the weather's going to be nice but Subi still seems an awfully long way to go just to get warm.
Play the game that's even funnier than saying ''Ashton Hams''.
■A commentator gets more excited about Nic Naitanui (right) than he would if he had a haircut. 2 points
■Lots of other commentators say Dean Cox is the best ruckman of all time, confident that nobody will challenge them because that's what Lethal reckons. 4 points
■North players say they'll pay Brad Scott's penalty out of the footy trip fund if he has another crack at an opposition player/the umpires/a mascot/whoever - as long as they can watch Adrian Anderson hand him the fine in person. 27 points
■Post-match media conferences forward to half-time. And hold them concurrently, on the ground, in a boxing ring, with weapons. 312 points
■Rounding out a big week for miracles in which the AFL hit on the idea that Paul Kelly and Tim Rogers might just, perhaps, possibly be better than Meat Loaf, the Kangaroos wipe with floor with West Coast and are cheered off by a packed house of Eagles fans who declare they'd much rather be living on the eastern seaboard, Gina Rinehart should really stop being so greedy, Swan Lager tastes like Drano and Marcus North was never more than a club cricketer who got lucky against the Poms. 1426 points
Norf aren't going west for a holiday and won't expect a kind word once the plane lands. Not sure that will worry the coach too much; in fact, he'll like it and his charges will be upfront and ready to go. But Coxanui on a fast home track is not for the faint of heart, and short blokes who aren't Boomers need not apply.

The predictions for holiday spending among the wealthy are out, and you know how it goes with the best intentions. The rich might be saying one thing while doing another.
The Neiman Marcus annual Christmas Book aside, a retail study by GfK MRI Focus says baby-boomer millionaires are not into making impressions and that they shop for value, frequenting stores that give more bang for the buck. It may sound like Target, but here's the kicker: They're willing to pay for fine quality and are more likely to make spending decisions based on that than on price.
So back to the Neiman Marcus catalogue, retail porn for the acquisitive and the dreamers. This year's fantasy gifts include a $395,000 Ferrari FF (only 10 were made and they all sold within 50 minutes), a $1-million fountain installed in your yard and a $420,000 tour of European flower shows on a private jet.
Affluent households (the top 10 percent of wage-earning households) are expected to account for nearly a quarter of holiday spending this year, according to the Survey of Affluence and Wealth in America by American Express Publishing and Harrison Group. The projected $68.74 billion is down 6 percent from last year.
Respondents of the survey also say they are seeking holiday joy in relationships and experiences, rather than in material gifts. So maybe they're the buyers of the private-jet tour of Europe or the new owners of the experience of going from 0 to 60 miles per hour in 3.7 seconds in that special-edition Ferrari FF.
Will you be spending more or less this holiday season?

For the Unwed, a Map through a Mine Field
When Walker Aultz's domestic partner of 10 years died of a heart attack last September, Aultz thought they had planned their estates adequately. On the advice of a financial adviser, they had purchased a joint co-owner annuity contract seven years ago, thinking that if one of them died, the benefit would pass to the other, and that if both died at the same time, to a designated beneficiary. But when the 70-year-old Quogue (N.Y.) resident contacted the insurance company, he learned that the $330,000 annuity passed to the children of his partner's niece. According to the contract, if the joint co-owner is not a spouse, the death benefit passes to the beneficiaries. So Aultz has gone to court. "I'm grieving, and I'm trying to protect what is mine," he says.
Unmarried couples face estate planning issues that their married counterparts do not. For starters, unmarrieds take a much bigger hit in estate taxes. When a married person dies, the estate can pass tax-free to the spouse upon death, regardless of the amount. An unmarried partner can only leave up to $675,000. Anything above that so-called unified tax credit is subject to the estate tax. (The credit rises over time, reaching $1 million in 2006.) Moreover, Social Security benefits pass only to spouses and minor children.
LIVING TRUST. So as long as society still favors traditional husband-and-wife pairings, unmarried couples must put extra effort into estate planning. Amy Neil and Lynda Hornada of Albany, Calif., are doing just that. Neil, 37, works for United Behavioral Health in San Francisco, and Hornada, also 37, teaches fifth grade. They own their home jointly with the right of survivorship, meaning if one dies, the surviving partner inherits the house.
The pair are setting up a revocable living trust as a way to ensure that their assets pass on to the partner. Many planners recommend a living trust for unmarried couples, even though trusts are more complicated and expensive than wills. But trusts don't go through probate, and wills are more likely to be challenged in probate with an unmarried couple. Neil and Hornada each also have a backup, or "pore-over," will to cover assets left out of the trust. Otherwise, assets pass to the unmarried person's biological family.
The two have designated each other as beneficiaries on all their accounts. They've signed a financial durable power of attorney that gives a partner access to funds in an emergency, and a health-care proxy so one can make medical decisions if the other becomes incapacitated. To increase their retirement savings, both Neil and Hornada are maximizing contributions to their 401(k) and 403(b) plans. And they're each buying life insurance equal to five times their annual earnings, naming the other as beneficiary.
Retirement benefits are also a big concern for Brian Bretan and Janice Barnikel of Smithtown, N.Y. The two have been together for six years and jointly own their $350,000 home. Bretan, 57, a drug salesman, has an income of more than $100,000 and assets over $1 million. Barnikel, 40, is a flight attendant and earns $71,000 a year.
The couple has set up a revocable living trust in which Barnikel receives the first $250,000, in addition to the house, and the balance goes to Bretan's two grown children. Once Bretan retires in three years, he plans to roll over his pension plan to an IRA and name his children and Barnikel as beneficiaries. Until then, he is stuck because the Internal Revenue Service will not allow non-spouses to roll over pension benefits, which defers taxes. "Understand that the world operates in a marriage mold," says Michael Kresh, a certified financial planner in Hauppauge, N.Y., who is advising Bretan. "There are no inherent protections for unmarried partners." So you need to use all the estate planning techniques at your disposal.

The admission of overseas students to the Inner Temple in the 19th century
Article Index
English common law was considered an important area of study, since it was in operation in all the British colonies, although it never entirely replaced native laws and customs. Moreover, training for the bar had the added advantage of equipping students with advocacy skills and conferring status, prestige and potential wealth at home. It is no coincidence that many of the leaders of the early independence movements had been trained as barristers in England. These included Gandhi, Nehru, Seretse Khama, the first president of Bechuanaland (modern Botswana) and Tunku Abdul Rahman, founder of modern Malaysia; all of whom had been educated at the Inner Temple. Whilst in Britain, they adopted the dress and manners of English gentlemen in line with their contemporaries. Mohandas Gandhi was no exception. Nevertheless, Gandhi maintained a number of Indian practices and traditions in London, including his diet. As a committed vegetarian he must have caused some commotion in the Inner Temple kitchens on dining nights. However, he was a popular member of any student mess, because his refusal to drink alcohol meant that there was more wine for his companions.
Meanwhile, the promotion of British higher education spread further through the Empire. Students from Japan and Hong Kong arrived in England soon after those from India, whilst the sons of African chiefs, merchants and clerics were admitted to the Inns of Court and universities not long afterwards. In the West Indies the situation was different. With the virtual extinction of the indigenous peoples, the black population was made up almost entirely from former slaves, who did not share the advantages of their eastern counterparts. However, after emancipation, an educated class emerged, some of whom were able to send their sons to Britain. Since former slaves tended to adopt the surnames of their European masters, it is difficult to assess when the first black West Indians entered the Inns of Court. Certainly they were in evidence by the 1890s. In 1899 George Christian of Dominica, the son of a former slave, was admitted to Gray's Inn, where he was called to the bar in 1902. He was to play a significant part in the pan-African Congress held in London in 1900. He subsequently went to West Africa to assist in the establishment of the British legal system there.
To return to India, a country in which the vast majority of women remained in subjugation, it is interesting to find evidence of surprisingly liberal views amongst the Indian intelligentsia in Bengal. Thus Cornelia Sorabji, a Parsee whose parents were Christian, was allowed to travel to England to matriculate at Somerville Hall in 1888. In 1892 she became the first woman at Oxford University to sit the examination for Bachelor of Civil Law, although she could not be awarded the degree to which she was entitled for another thirty years. After the passing of the Sex Disqualification (Removal) Act in 1919, Cornelia Sorabji was amongst the first women to be admitted to Lincoln's Inn. She was called to the bar in 1923, the year after the first female barrister, Ivy Williams, had been called at the Inner Temple. She subsequently enrolled in the Calcutta High Court and worked assiduously to remove the disadvantages of purdah. Returning to England in later life, she remained in favour of British rule in India, as did the majority of Indians educated in England.
The history of British colonialism continues to give rise to controversy. However, the positive effects of western education should not be overlooked. Without their legal training, would Gandhi and Nehru have been able to negotiate for Indian independence so skilfully, and without major bloodshed? Although much has been made of the Benchers' decision to disbar Gandhi from the Inner Temple in 1922, his conviction for sedition in a British Court made this course of action inevitable . Nor should it be forgotten that, by admitting overseas students in the previous century, the Inns of Court had played a significant part in preparing the British colonies for independence.

KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 20 – The deteriorating humanitarian situation in conflicted Syria was among points raised by Malaysia at the United Nations (UN) open debate, touching also on the delivery of humanitarian assistance to those in need.
In presenting Malaysia's view, Charge D'Affaires of the Permanent Mission of Malaysia to the United Nations Raja Reza Raja Zaib Shah said the country was appalled over the number of civilian casualties, as a result of the conflict.
He said there must be an immediate end to the senseless killings and appalling human rights violations, especially against civilians.
The Malaysian delegation also called on other parties to the conflict to restrict themselves from employing heavy weapons and explosive munitions that inflicted untold misery, deaths and injuries to civilians.
"As with the authorities, the parties should also attend to the needs of the civilians and allow vital humanitarian access to reach them," he said at the open debate of the Security Council on the protection of civilians in armed conflict, at the United Nations Headquaters in New York on Monday.

The commercial broadcaster beat competition from Channel 4 and Walt Disney for the 18-hour-a-day channel.
The deal will take the number of ITV digital channels to four, but the company has not revealed what programming will appear on the channel.
ITV's flagship channel and digital channels ITV2, ITV3 and ITV News are already available on Freeview.
'Good news'
Charles Allen, chief executive of ITV, said: "One of our strategic objectives is to grow ITV's successful multichannel business and we are therefore delighted to have secured additional capacity on this platform.
"We will now build on the tremendous success of ITV2 and ITV3 by expanding the range of our offering on the digital platform where our channels perform best."
Crown Castle UK - which runs Freeview with the BBC and BSkyB - made the announcement on Friday.
Peter Abery, Crown Castle's chief executive, said: "This is good news for everybody involved.
"We are also very pleased to have ITV as a channel customer on our multiplex."
Almost five million households have Freeview, which accounts for 31% of the digital TV market in the UK.
It provides about two dozen extra digital TV channels beyond the five main terrestrial ones with the cost to viewers a set-top box for about £60.
Nearly six out of 10 UK homes now have access to digital TV, a new report from broadcasting watchdog Ofcom revealed this week.
The government aims to switch off analogue signals by 2012.
