On Saturday 2 Days before The Hurricane Katrina Disaster the City of New Orleans should have been under an Evacuation order. The Evacuation order finally came on Sunday. The Vast majority of people of new Orleans were still able to gas up there cars and drive 50 or more miles inland and then rent a Hotel room for the night. But what about those without cars or the means to pay for a Hotel Room.

According to some estimate 100,000 People were still in new Orleans when Hurricane Katrina followed by the flood that devastated the city. The majority of these people fall into 2 categories. Either they were so poor they couldn't afford to leave or they were in Hospitals, Nursing Homes and were to sick to leave.

Why weren't these people given a chance to evacuate prior to the Hurricane Katrina Disaster. According to the Houston Chronicle talking about New Orleans 'City officials had 550 municipal buses and hundreds of additional school buses at their disposal' Being consecrative and assuming 800 municipal and school buses were in good working order 30,000 People could have been evacuated in 1 trip. It would have taken 3 trips to evacuate 90,000.

Had the vast majority of the people been evacuated prior to the Hurricane then the police of New Orleans could have concentrated on stopping the Looters and street thugs instead of saving lives, and providing security in the Super dome. ring and lessened the need for outside support. It would have been cheaper not only in terms of Dollar cost but in terms of Human Human Cost to have evacuated the poor from New Orleans before the that fact.

Mayor C. Ray Nagin of New Orleans was extremely upset because of what he perceived was slow or no response from the State and Federal Governments. Mayor C. Ray Nagin Isn't it better (in light of the fact that it had been well know that a Category 4 or higher hurricane would cause wide spread Flooding) to be Pro-Active rather then reactive? Mayor C. Ray Nagin what part did your inaction play in this? Mayor C. Ray Nagin how many lives could have been saved with a properly executed evacuation plan? Mayor C. Ray Nagin how do you sleep at night?

If you are in the carpet cleaning industry and are thinking about adding upholstery cleaning to your services this article is for you. It will tell you the basic steps involved in inspecting upholstery for cleaning. Read on and get a glimpse into the world of upholstery cleaning.

The first step in upholstery cleaning is identifying the material. I will just go over the basic types of material in this article and not go too in depth. First you will snip a piece of material from a hidden location. The best location is usually inside the zipper of a cushion where here is excess fabric. Now you will separate a thread and burn it. Basically if it burns it is a natural material and if it melts it is synthetic. If it burns quickly like a fuse it is rayon, if it burns slowly and leaves a gray ash it is cotton and wool is very obvious smelling like burnt hair. In general natural materials will be cleaned with a low moisture or dry method while synthetics can be wet cleaned.

The next step in upholstery cleaning is to test the dye stability of the fabric. You will take your cleaner of choice and test a hidden spot on the upholstery. You are looking to see if any of the dye transfers to a towel that you have wet with your cleaner. If the dye transfers you can not use that cleaner on the fabric. You will have to try another or you may not be able to clean a piece at all.

The final step is to look at the construction of the material. Look at how the fabric is constructed. What kind of backing it has and if there are any hidden dangers. Hidden dangers could be a colored thread running behind the surface, writing on the back of the material from the maker of the furniture or a sensitive latex backing on a fabric.

After you finish making all of these tests you will put all of your information together and determine which cleaning method is the best. As you can see, cleaning upholstery is not as easy as carpeting. It takes skill and some experience which is why anyone wanting to clean it should take the proper classes. So if you would like to add upholstery cleaning to your services you should first call your local supplier and find out about courses in your area. Good luck.

People can now watch satellite TV on PC online without viewing restrictions. A few years back then, we were still watching satellite TV on our TV sets right there in our sofas in the living room. It was quite a common sight in many American families. However, today, the whole scene has changed and you can now watch satellite TV on PC using a modem connection. Issue is do you need to set up your computer such that you can watch satellite TV on PC online without viewing restrictions?

Talking about satellite TV on PC online, you may have heard that nowadays, there are several satellite TV stations that are streaming video over the internet for public viewing. Here are a few specific TV channels that provide internet satellite TV so that you can watch satellite TV on PC online conveniently. Just visit the websites and choose the program to watch.

1. Wfitv.com

This website is where you can watch satellite TV on PC for free. It is one of the bigger online streaming video website that has recorded and LIVE television channels from around the world. The website interface is pretty simple to handle.

2. Channelchooser.com

This website gives you programs like documentaries, music videos, other entertaining videos and online news channels so that you can sit back relax and watch satellite TV on PC online. The interface looks more professional than most video streaming sites you come across online.

3. BeeLineTV.com

The clear advantage anyone who wants to watch satellite TV on PC online gets is of course the free TV channels offered online as mentioned.

Of course, another major benefit is you are not tied to any monthly subscription plans with the satellite TV service providers. Anyone can watch satellite TV on PC online for free legally when you visit these resources.

Unfortunately, this way to watch satellite TV on PC is not perfect. For instance, the website could be down when the server is overloaded by too many viewers visiting the site simultaneously. Another negative point is that your channel selection can be limited.

These could be the reason why PC satellite TV software is birthed. Using a nifty and neat software application, you can set up your PC instantly to watch satellite TV on PC. Once again, you need a good internet connection. You may not need broadband as dial-up works fine as well. However, my advice is stick with broadband to quicken the transmission of TV feeds for excellent picture and sound quality without any relay.

This is a war
We must "win"
Why must we win?
How shall we win?
When will we know
We have won?
Such rhetoric and grandstanding
Is self-willed, ignorant, and dumb.
Please hurry up God
And let Thy kingdom come!
Meanwhile neocons
Try to get some
Put their hands in the cookie jar
Talk about global good
Peddle fear and a pretext
To steal and go far
To the uttermost parts of the earth
To nation build, restructure, and give birth
To their economic aims and conquest
Procure new pipelines
Drag their feet and take time
Give reasons, unattainable resolutions to problems
While covertly working toward long-term occupation
Meanwhile let Maliki meander in the mud
Of American politics and maneuvering
Mediocrity and profiteering
While the civil war is raging
Inhumane methods of war we're waging
Abusive interrogation methods disparaging
Diminishing one's human dignity
Removing any sense of diplomacy
As we lose the battle most necessary
The struggle to change jihadists ideology
Oh, but we are winning
We are annihilating innocent people
Destroying families homes
Inciting anger with words
Pinpointing and articulating the "axis of evil"
Warning about more WMDs and nukes elsewhere
Particularly in neighboring oil rich nations
Hoping to bring about in an intensified escalation
Regional penetration and domination
In Iraq maximum chaos and confusion
Then brother Bandar and the boys in Saud
Can get involved and Bush Co can applaud.
Saudi than can profit from war too
Giving their unemployed something to do
Sending Wahhabi jihadists to fight abroad
Will be good for and protect the house of Saud too!
Giving their homegrown terrorists someone else to attack
They can send their new 72 BAE Eurofighters to Iraq
Visit and help their minority Sunni brothers fire back
And most importantly
Enlarge their sphere of rulership in Arabia
As they wait for cooperation with America
The ace of spades set for the alley oop coup
The chief agent of terror ready to invade
No need for provocation
We've now got al Qaeda and Bin Laden
Left at large, they're the perfect scapegoat
For going on the offensive
After all the American people are fearful and apprehensive
Protect us Dick, Donald, and George
Correct and order for us a new world
If necessary send cousin Marvin
To provide both security and a casualty insurance company
Because the removal of dictatorial Saddam
Was no magic wand
He proved to be but a pawn
One formerly propped up by us
Why than all of the fuss?
We formerly supported the butcher of Baghdad
Now we back a weak inactive Maliki
Watching, waiting, and contemplating
What his new colonial masters in America will do
For without the U.S. of A he is through.

As for homeland security
There has not been an attack on our soil since 9/11
Precisely because we only needed one
To provide an adequate platform to export war
As long as the geographical location is oil rich and sure
Hurricane Katrina victims however don't register
When it comes to securing the homeland
Their needs are in their insurer's hands
The Bush cabinet is focused afar on other lands
Yet at home we're "winning" the war
By reason of the crippling legislation we enact
While putting our citizenry in a straight jacket
TSA disrobing us and saying, "You can't take it."
Liquids of any kind, airport security has lost its mind.
Civil liberties are no longer important
National security has become preeminent
After all war without end is eminent
Safety first is the battle cry of this President
Oh really, than declassify the 9/11 Commission Report
Particularly all info on Saudi and Bandar your buddy
America at home has passed the Patriot Act
Domestic intrusions have become a daily fact
Be it by the CIA or compliments of the FBI
Investigations are ongoing whether we live or die
Isolated inner city unjust police brutality
Discrimination, racial profiling, and criminality
Yet our politicians pontificate and profess success statistically
Don't fear my dear, defense shall be dominant
Regime changes are coming to engineer energy self-sufficiency
Keep the crude flowing for the American people eternally
At reasonable prices to sustain the economy
To keep the good ol oil barrens afloat financially
As they serve up their Texas tea happily
With as little ethanol as possible preferably
Don't worry my dear, 2007 will be an unprecedented year
Halliburton and Lockheed Martin will drink lots of beer
The Bush cabinet will bring you gaiety and cheer
Countless defense contracts. No lying here
Just a clever international operation
Imperial hubris with a new sensation
Relax the vulcans have got authorization
Their fall men are in place in case of any investigation
This is about domestic spying and clandestine cooperation
VP Cheney's chance for self-actualization
Project for the New American Century
Let us tell you how to live and be happy
Donald Rumsfeld of the media made sport
Prideful omissions and innocence we retort
Continually covering up 9/11 reports
While claiming to have the American people's
Best interest at heart
While at dissidents and conspiracy theorists we throw darts.

Laughing and leaving the foreign policy of the Founding Fathers
We justify ourselves as we grossly depart
Our new form of statecraft, a cunning art
Choosing alternatively to employ and export military humanism
Forget Great Britain, we've got our own form of colonialism.
Nevertheless take rest
Go to Disney Word, take a vacation
Leave the war to us and alleviation
Of every enemy and foe
The blackballing of anybody who does know
And dare to stand up to us and show
The hidden truth to the general public
For intel demands we all keep all quiet
While we maneuver behind the scenes
To build our military oil procurring machine
As for this war, don't be in a rush
After all mission has been accomplished
By restructuring the flow of intel
Cheney and Rumsfeld have ambushed
National checks and balances
Now they can go unhindered and make advances
Without provocation militarily take chances
Throw their weight around
In any city, nation, or town.

Relax. Big brother will be sure to protect
Simply trust and don't think to inspect
Neither criticize nor reject
That which you are told
Don't listen to talking heads in the media
Though they are brilliant and bold
Always be submissive, reverent, and willing to listen
Embrace every Presidential opinion
After all the power is his
Our own conclusions we must dismiss
Most important is our positioning
With Saudi Arabia's royal oil family
Cheney's foreign policy advisers
With whom he shared Thanksgiving leftovers
Remember the 9/11 hijackers?
They were Saudi passport holders.
Now a former CIA officer is suing the VP
The mastermind of Iraq, tact, and secrecy
Who created false intelligence about WMDs
Oh yes, this war we are winning indeed
Never mind that US soldiers that die and bleed
Of this oil our hawks have need
For they have for a longtime lived
Luxuriously, by reason of their greed
Good positioning in corporation nation
Misusing governmental power
To align with the industrial war complex
The CIA and NSA used for their vortex
Fear peddlers and warmongers
"The consequences of losing are enormous."
Oh but we have already lost
Hundreds of billions of dollars
Not to mention irreplaceable human life
To unnecessarily sustain global strife
As for the exorbitant war expense
Monies allocated for our pretense
Taxpayer dollars which we could have used
To help our own at home
Provide adequate healthcare
Show the homeless in New Orleans we care
Increase the number of teachers in school
Practice the golden rule
Begin by showing kindness locally
Before stretching ourselves elsewhere mindlessly
We could have fed the impoverished needing food
Reformed immigration instead of being rude
Dealt with the national deficit
Instead of frivolously disregarding and deepening it
More aggressively pursue alternative energy
Oops! I forgot. Concerning oil, we need much more
Blood for oil, the key to perpetuate war lengthily
For by it the powerful profit handsomely.

As for Bin Laden, the man rotten to the core
To us he is of no interest anymore
We've leveraged him fully
Demonized him sensationally
And now can pursue our plans globally
Forget Bin Laden now. He is of no interest to us
Nor was he ever. Shhh! Not so loud Woodward.
Though operation curveball was clever
Bin Laden is just an excuse
To provide a pseudo context
To provide ample cause
To pursue other theatres of war
Vilify the enemy, put your shoulder to the door
Invade a nation. Initiate new oil exploration.
Enlarge our influence internationally
Sell American defense serendipitously
Than throw your net across the map
Create a prison planet and strap
Us all with your burden
Bring us all under your illuminati leadership
Reduce us to humble servitude
To exalt and obey you
While you do what you want to
Pardon us Cheney for Wolf's probing interview.
Nevertheless when you do look up, it's nice to see you.
At least Senator McCain is ready to go hard
And send hundreds of thousands of more troops
Oh yeah, that's too precise and clear. Oops!
Less troops and uncertainty in Iraq is far better
Leaving a gap and means for you by which to maneuver
To in time align your true plan by grand design
To unveil why presently you desire us to falter and fail
Disregard characterizations and conclusions on Fox News
For they obviously support refuse
Promoting O.J.'s book was ample evidence of this too
Yet at least you have a network on which to air
Your political ideology, while showcasing military machinery
Begin to build your Presidential library to secure your legacy
Fight heartily and secure your newsworthy monopoly
Be quick to dispel any allegation of propaganda or conspiracy
By every means possible silence your opposers
To ensure the ongoing party and uphold the posers
No dissident tolerate or spare
Just "win" the war on terror.

If you suffer from the speech impediment known as stuttering, you are not alone. Latest figures suggest that around one percent of the population of England has a stutter or stammer and that the majority of these people are male. In this article I write about the latest stuttering treatments that are available.

I am somebody who had a stutter which originated when I was four years of age. It was to continue to ruin my life for the next eighteen years and had a damaging affect on my self-confidence and self-esteem. I had major problems saying certain words beginning with certain letters and was constantly trying to avoid these type of words.

This is not always easy to do however and I will never forget one particular English lesson when I was around fourteen years of age. I was involved in a class quiz in which we all had to answer simple general knowledge questions. It was a quick fire quiz and as the teacher went around asking each pupil a question in turn, I became more and more nervous. Finally it was my go and I was asked to answer which city was the capital of France. I knew the answer but the demons in my head advised me not to give the answer, as they reminded me that I was unable to say words beginning with p. I was not sure what to do as I could not exactly substitute the word Paris to Lyon. I would do anything to avoid stuttering and stated that I did not know the answer. This was not good as everyone then believed that not only did I have a speech impediment, but that I was also rather stupid.

Ten years ago at the age of twenty-two, I am happy to report that I managed to overcome my own stutter. This was after a year long program of self-help stuttering therapy. This included long periods of observing how good fluent people were talking compared to me and also be reading many self-help type books. These books included areas such as mind over matter, success and positive thinking and were a huge help in improving my whole life.

There are many types of stuttering treatments now available, certainly a lot more than when I had a stutter. There is the normal and traditional speech therapy route. This is where most people start and this type of treatment is of use, however most speech therapists do not believe that you can overcome a stutter, this for me says it all. My answer to them is, have you ever heard of Bruce Willis? I attended speech therapy, however I must admit I did not go to the sessions with the right attitude. I did not believe that they could help me and that their methods of advising me to speak slower and to breathe deeply were floored, as this was not how my friends were talking. I also did not think that they could ever fully understand what I was going through as they have never had a stuttering problem themselves.

The latest stuttering treatments include one-to-one speech courses, group speech courses, self-help ebooks and also self-help dvds. In my opinion the one-to-one speech courses are currently the best option to take and will give you the best chance of attaining fluency. I do understand though that the self-help options can be very appealing to a lot of people, firstly because of the affordability factor and also because of the obvious fact that a lot of people who stutter do not have the confidence to attend a speech course.

More and more people are seeking help to eradicate their stutter and no longer accept second best in their lives.

Good luck in your quest to achieve your goal of fluent speech.

IRON is a trace element which is needed by the Body for the formation of Blood. The Human Body normally contains 3-4 g of Iron, more than half of which in the form of Hemoglobin, the red pigment in Blood, Hemoglobin transports Oxygen from the Lungs to the Tissues. Iron is a constituent of a number of Enzymes. The Bodys Iron balance varies mainly according to Dietary intake as looses Iron during menstruation.

In Humans Iron is involved in Oxygen transport. It is also essential for the regulation of Cells growth and differentiation. A deficiency of Iron limits Oxygen delivery to cells, resulting in fatigue, poor work performance, and decreased Immunity. On the other hand excess amount of Iron can result in toxicity.

The absorption of Iron from plant foods is improved by the presence in a meal of vitamin C, (Ascorbic acid), other organic acids such as Malic Acid (In pumpkins,plums and apples) and Citric Acid (In citrus fruits).

Symptoms of Iron deficiency Anaemia include Tiredness and Breathlessness especially on physical exaction, giddiness, palpitations, headache and poor concentration.

Iron Acids in immune function, temperature regulation,energy metabolism and work performance. About 90% of the Iron in our Body is conserved and reused everyday, the rest is excreted. Iron status is checked by Blood Test.

Suggestions to increase the amount of IRON in the Diet absorption.

Eat more brightly coloured fruits and vegetables which contain more Vitamin C. Vitamin C increases Iron absorption.

Choose Iron fortified breakfast cereals and breads.

Cut back on the amount of Tea and Coffee, especially around mealtimes. Since the tannins in Tea and Coffee bind to the Iron and interfere with absorption.

Should take Iron supplements unless advised by the Doctor.
