Nokia runs all the way to the bank
From Wikipedia: In the most basic variant of the hawala system, money is transferred via a network of hawala brokers, or hawaladars. A customer approaches a hawala broker in one city and gives a sum of money to be transferred to a recipient in another, usually foreign, city. The hawala broker calls another hawala broker in the recipient's city, gives disposition instructions of the funds (usually minus a small commission), and promises to settle the debt at a later date.

Academics must check contracts' effects on user rights
Contracts and copyright
I admit I stole this:
Copyright is the "exclusive right of the copyright holder to reproduce the work in any form."
As the creator of a work, you own the copyright in it.
There are two exceptions to that rule. First, if you are an employee and you create the work in the course of your employment, _the employer owns it_. Second, if you sign an agreement with an American publisher that refers to your work as a "work made for hire" or "work for hire" then it is as if you were an employee for the purposes of the creation of that work and the "employer" owns the work outright.
I presume something similar appears in UK law already.

During last few decades Pakistan Institute of Development Economics (PIDE) has brought in an international reputation and recognition for its research, and is now a federally chartered degree granting institute (DAI) offering world class degree programs in economics, population sciences, econometrics and statistics, environmental economics, and MBA.
PIDE was established in 1957 and was granted the status of an independent research organization in 1964 by the Government of Pakistan. This institute is engaged in the process of theoretical and empirical research in economics and related Social sciences. In addition to furnishing a firm academic basis to economic policy-making, its research also provides a window through which the exterior world can view the nature and direction of social science research in Pakistan.
The department of Economics in Pakistan Institute of Development Economics consists of senior faculty members. Several members of the department are also providing assistance to various government agencies and other multi/bi-lateral organizations as advisors.
The role of quality education in producing a better world is increasing to the large extent. PIDE engage in grooming students to effectively deal with new global challenges. In current scenario, in Pakistan only a small percentage of the total population has get at to higher education, it is hoped that the MSc, MPhil and PhD program at PIDE would be a step forward in a vital field of knowledge and expertise.
MSc, MPhil and PhD program at PIDE is targeted imparting a full range of knowledge, awareness and expertise in economics. The degree programs in Economics have been a long-felt necessitate in Pakistan. In recent years, the number of qualified economists has diminished below the country's requirements. Brain drain of economists to take up attractive jobs abroad has only provoked this professional vacuum in various government and non-government departments, teaching institutes, and research organizations. The degree programs in Economics at the Pakistan Institute of Development Economics (PIDE) have been developed to meet some of these challenges by rendering the necessary facilities for training economists in Pakistan.
To attain the objectives and to furnish the educational needs of future leaders in Government, PIDE has designed a broad-based educational facility, and it has launched Master's and MPhil programs. At PIDE the PhD Program in Economics is well-established and is being proposed since 1999, as of today, 13 students have been granted the PhD degree in Economics.
Scope of M.Phil / Ph.D. Degree
With broad knowledge in economics and specialized attainments in financial and analytical techniques, graduates of MPhil/PhD are well-prepared to adopt career in the public and/or private sector as economic analysts in businesses, consultancy firms, financial institutions, and applied research firms. They may also get jobs in international organizations, like the World Bank, IMF, International Labor Organization, etc., government ministries, and non-government organizations (NGOs), universities, and in other teaching and research organization.

American and Iraqi troops raided houses and buildings in Baghdad's Sadr City neighborhood on Wednesday to arrest five suspected members of a Shiite terror cell following Tuesday's brazen kidnapping of a British computer expert and his four bodyguards from a government building in the capital city.
"Intelligence reports indicate the cell leader that was targeted and detained during the morning's operation is suspected of being a key weapons trafficker ... of small arms, mortars and other munitions," the military said, including "explosively formed penetrators, or EFPs, from Iran to Iraq, as well as bringing militants from Iraq to Iran for terrorist training."
The U.S. military has been saying for months that militants are getting the EFPs from the Iranian Revolutionary Guards' Quds Force and that Iraqi militants are being trained in Iran.
Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesman has denied the allegations, chalking it up to U.S. "propaganda."

"Sex Tape," in which a couple's raunchy home movie gets leaked to numerous friends and relatives, marks a reunion for "Bad Teacher" stars Jason Segel (who notoriously bared all for the sake of comedy in "Forgetting Sarah Marshall") and Cameron Diaz. Indeed, on a list of embarrassing sex scenes, Diaz's name comes up a lot, ever since "There's Something About Mary" made her the patron saint of bodily fluids, and so does that of Segel's mentor, Judd Apatow, who ushered in a new era of embarrassing yet sweet and mushy sex scenes with "The 40-Year-Old Virgin." If there's any saving grace to appearing on this list, it's the knowledge that you're in good company, as the following history shows.
While it should go without saying, we're going to tell you anyway: some of the images and videos below are NSFW.

Gallery | A History of Embarrassing, Awkward Sex Moments in Movies (NSFW)
The long-running sitcom never explained how Major Margaret Houlihan earned the nickname "Hot Lips." For that, you have to go back to the Robert Altman movie, in which Margaret (Sally Kellerman) and Major Frank Burns (Robert Duvall) are in the throes of passion before they realize that camp pranksters have placed a microphone beneath their tent and are broadcasting their moans and dirty talk to the entire 4077th.
- 'Bananas' (1971)
Legendary sportscaster Howard Cosell manages to keep a straight face as he does color commentary on the consummation of Fielding's (Woody Allen) marriage to Nancy (real-life Allen ex-wife Louise Lasser). He sticks around for the post-game interview, making Fielding defend his subpar performance.
- 'National Lampoon's Animal House' (1978)
Freshman Pinto's (Tom Hulce) first time isn't very romantic. He gets grocery check-out girl Clorette (Sarah Holcomb) alone at a frat party, but he can't get her bra undone. She removes it herself but then passes out, leaving a puzzled Pinto holding wads of tissue. His inner angel and devil argue over his shoulder, but he decides against taking advantage of the girl and drops her off at home in (aptly) a shopping cart. Later, of course, Pinto and Clorette will finally hook up, but he'll discover that she's underage, and she'll introduce him to her dad, the town mayor, as "the boy who molested me."
- 'The Tall Guy' (1989)
Before making his name with romantic-comedy screenplays like "Four Weddings and a Funeral" and "Notting Hill," Richard Curtis wrote this farce about an American actor (Jeff Goldblum) in London who woos a starchy nurse (Emma Thompson, not yet famous). Their room-destroying sex scene, which sees the crash into every available surface, may not be all that embarrassing (though neither actor has done anything so risqué before or since), but it gives the similarly acrobatic and funny scene in "Bridesmaids" a run for its money.
- 'The Crying Game' (1992)
After inadvertently causing the death of a British soldier, IRA member Fergus (Stephen Rea) flees to London and takes up with the dead man's lover, Dil (Jaye Davidson). It's only when they're about to have sex for the first time that Dil disrobes and reveals to Fergus (and many a shocked moviegoer) that she's anatomically male. It's humiliating for Dil, who assumed her new beau knew the truth, and for Fergus, who becomes violently ill.
- 'Showgirls' (1995)
Here's a mystery: Elizabeth Berkley's mostly naked performance as viciously ambitious Vegas chorus girl Nomi pretty much derailed her career forever, thanks in large part to the swimming pool sex scene, where she flops around like an angry dolphin. And yet Kyle MacLachlan, her equally soggy partner in the scene, emerged with his career unscathed. Guess it was just an embarrassment for Berkley -- and the audience.
- 'The Ice Storm' (1997)
There's a lot of queasy-making sex in this drama of the key-party-swinging, suburban '70s. But queasiest of all is the heavy petting session between teens Christina Ricci and Elijah Wood, which happens to take place while she's wearing a latex Richard Nixon mask. Her dad (Kevin Kline) walks in on the pair, but he's just as embarrassed as the kids, since he's secretly sleeping with Wood's mom (Sigourney Weaver).
- 'There's Something About Mary' (1998)
Ben Stiller is the king of cinematic embarrassment, but after the by-product of his pre-date wank goes missing, it's Cameron Diaz who makes the scene with her sweet naivete. Discovering the missing goo dripping from Stiller's ear, she asks, "Is that... hair gel?", then applies some to her own 'do and winds up looking like a marshmallow Peep. This scene, more than any other, has made the screen safe for all the bodily-fluid humor we cherish today.
- 'Can't Hardly Wait' (1998)
In every millennial's favorite teen party movie, randy Seth Green (armed with a backpack full of condoms, a "Kama Sutra," and other sex aids), is in the bathroom trying to remove an embarrassing wet spot from his pants with a hair dryer. In walks Lauren Ambrose, who's just been hit in the face with a brownie. Mutual humiliation turns to panic when the door handle comes off and they're locked inside. Then again, the two end up taking full advantage of the locked room and the sex paraphernalia, so maybe it wasn't that humiliating after all.
- 'American Pie' (1999)
Yeah, Jason Biggs pulling an Alexander Portnoy with a freshly-baked pie (his friends have told him that a woman's genitals feel like warm fruit filling) and being caught by his dad pretty much tops the embarrassment charts. But there's also the scene where his premature ejaculation opposite a frustrated Shannon Elizabeth is webcast to the whole school, making "Pie" the first comedy to make the point that, in the Internet era, there's no expectation of privacy anymore.
- 'Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo' (1999)
Having sex with Rob Schneider is probably embarrassment enough, but it's even worse for Kate (Arija Bareikis), the nice girl who actually falls for rookie hustler Deuce (Schneider). While he actually manages to avoid having sex with a number of oddball clients (he's resourceful enough to find alternate ways to please them), he's actually eager to get in bed with Kate -- until he accidentally detaches her prosthetic leg.
- 'Bridget Jones's Diary' (2001)
What should Bridget (Renée Zellweger) wear on her date with bad-boy boss Daniel (Hugh Grant): the "granny" panties that are ugly but flatten her stomach, or the sexy panties that don't hide her bulges. She goes for the former, only to earn Daniel's ridicule when they do hop into bed. (Later, of course, she's embarrassed just for having slept with a cad like Grant.
- 'Old School' (2003)
Luke Wilson comes home from a business trip to find girlfriend Juliette Lewis watching porn. She's ashamed, but he's turned on, until he realizes that they're not alone -- which he discovers when a couple of naked guests jump out of the closet. (There's a third at the door, played by the film's director, Todd Phillips.) There's still more embarrassment to come, as Wilson recalls the incident in a drunken rant -- while he's toasting his newlywed pal Will Ferrell at the latter's wedding.
- 'Gigli' (2004)
The low point of this notorious bomb comes when lesbian hitwoman Jennifer Lopez not only falls for lunkheaded chauvinist hitman Ben Affleck but seduces him into bed by making turkey noises. Gobble, gobble indeed. If this is how unsexy Bennifer were in real life, it's no wonder the celebrity couple was doomed.
- 'The 40-Year-Old Virgin' (2005)
Really, nearly the whole of Judd Apatow's movie is one embarrassing sex joke, but when it comes to actual bedroom action, it's hard to top the scene where a younger Andy (Steve Carell) tried to indulge a woman's toe-sucking fetish, only to involuntarily kick her in the face and bloody her nose. No wonder he remained a virgin for so long.
- 'Knocked Up' (2007)
In Judd Apatow's comedy, the embarrassment occurs not during the drunken fumbling between Katherine Heigl and Seth Rogen, nor does it occur when Heigl realizes to her horror that she's polluted her gene pool with Rogen's. Rather, it's later, when the two try to couple once more, with Heigl feeling disgusted by the changes pregnancy has wrought on her body, and Rogen trying in vain to find an angle that doesn't remind him that he's poking at his baby''s head.
- 'Superbad' (2007)
We might have gone for the scene where ultra-nerdy McLovin (Christopher Mintz-Plasse) whispers, "It's in!" but we'll stick with the scene between Evan (Michael Cera) and Becca (Martha MacIsaac). She's drunk, he's nervous, she tries dirty talk, he keeps saying the wrong thing, and finally, she throws up. Plays funnier than it sounds. No surprise: Seth Rogen co-wrote this movie, and Judd Apatow produced it.
- 'Shoot 'Em Up' (2007)
Clive Owen's hotel-room tryst with Monica Bellucci is interrupted by gun-wielding thugs, but marksman Owen manages to take them out without taking himself out of Bellucci. Did we mention that she's lactating? Nicolas Cage and Charlotte Ross copied this scene in "Drive Angry," but despite the addition of a cattle prod, they couldn't out-shock the original.
- 'Forgetting Sarah Marshall' (2008)
In this Judd Apatow production, Jason Segel sets himself up for a movie's worth of embarrassment when he greets his title girlfriend (Kristen Bell) naked, only to have her dump him while he's still flopping about. Later, he hooks up with lovely hotel clerk Mila Kunis, but Sarah and her new rock star boyfriend (Russell Brand) are staying at the same Hawaiian resort -- in the suite next door, in fact -- so each couple tries to make louder sex noises to make the other pair jealous. It's a gag that's appeared in a number of films (notably, "L.A. Story" and "The Cooler"), but the "Forgetting" foursome milks it for all it's worth.
- 'Tiny Furniture' (2010)
Before Lena Dunham was putting herself in awkward sex scenes on the Judd Apatow-produced series "Girls," she wrote and directed this film, in which she plays another adrift twentysomething. Here, she seduces a guy who already has a girlfriend. The uncomfortable site of their tryst: a concrete construction pipe. Dunham finds further shame when the act is over and she realizes that it hasn't made her feel any more fulfilled.
- 'Bridesmaids' (2011)
Turns out sex with Jon Hamm is more exhausting than fun, as is apparent from Kristen Wiig's twisted body and even more twisted facial expressions. Plus, his sexy talk is not at all sexy (what's "rocking the cradle," anyway?). (Oh, and this is yet another Judd Apatow production.) Runner-up scene: Melissa McCarthy, real-life hubby Ben Falcone, and those slices of cold cuts.
- 'Bad Teacher' (2011)
You don't need nudity for an embarrassing sex scene, as randy junior high teachers Cameron Diaz and Justin Timberlake prove during an epic, fully-clothed dry-hump session. Bonus point to the two real-life exes for being such good sports.

Is this an appropriate thing to send after a first date?
This guy and I met about 2 weeks ago, we met on a dating app. We started texting every single day non stop for the entire week. He asked to hang out and drove an hour out of his way to pick me up and then I showed him around the city near me. The date itself went well (at least from my point of view) and when he dropped me off, I think I gave him the wrong impression by just saying "okay thank you" and getting out of the car. He also got out and gave me a hug and said "it was nice to meet you, this was fun we should do it again" and then I said "yeah, okay have a good night" and went inside. My friends tell me I may have accidentally made him feel like I wasn't interested so I texted him the next day and said that I hope he had a safe drive home and that I had a great time. He answered with "Yeah I had fun too!" so I didn't respond because I took it as a blow off. Now I just can't move past it without some closure cause I was really into him so I wrote down some thoughts and am thinking about emailing it to him but I first want to get an outside opinion on whether it comes off needy/bitchy or if it actually gets my point across about respecting me enough to at least tell me he wasn't into it. The following is what I'd like to say, please let me know how it sounds, how you would take it as a guy in his situation and whether or not I should send it. And if so, is there anything you would change? It's been a few days and not having any communication on your part only leads me to one conclusion, but imagine my surprise and disappointment when I realized that just like most other man in today's world, you didn't even have the decency to let me know that it just wasn't going to work out. After a week of talking and a day together I imagine I at least deserved some sort of version of the truth but my mistake for believing that I had any right to be treated with some respect and honesty. It was a pleasure to meet you and though it wasn't what I had hoped as the outcome, at least I can say it was a learning experience. I truly hope all the best for you in your journeys. Good luck with everything!
What's Your Opinion?
Most Helpful Opinion
"He answered with "Yeah I had fun too!" so I didn't respond because I took it as a blow off."I think his exclamation mark indicates enthusiasm, so I don't think he was blowing you off. He'd probably give you a one word answer if he was blowing you off like "yeah" or "thanks".You: "I had a great time!"Him: "yeah"Or...You: "Have a safe drive home!"Him: "thanx"Moving on...Do yourself a favor and DON'T post that message that you are planning on posting.Do you want a relationship with this guy or not? From what you've posted, he seems like he's probably interested, but you're basically breaking up with him before a relationship has even begun. Don't do that!"It's been a few days and not having any communication on your part..."I didn't see anything in the first section where he wasn't communicating with you. The last thing you have him doing in the first section is messaging you with "Yeah I had fun too!" - to which YOU didn't respond (you say "so I didn't respond because I took it as a blow off"). So you don't respond to him, but then you're about go off on him for not communicating with you? (Even though it's a bad idea to send him your message, don't feel bad about wanting to do so. I'm the king of doing things that seemed right at the time, but then look back and think "what the f*ck was I thinking?!?!")
What Guys Said 5
Alright, slow down and relax. You're just like me in situations like these: I catastrophize the issue in my head and then feel like I demand an honest answer why things didn't work out. First off, you have every right to be treated with respect and honesty so don't write that it was a mistake thinking that! Second, you're going a bit extreme here for a first date. I know it's frustration going from person to person and not have things work out over and over but technically you guys both don't know each other very well and a text like that is too serious. Here's what to do, just text him saying how are you? What you up to today? Be curious about him and just fire up a conversation and then you can drop in an apology for sounding so dismissive on the first date. if I was in his shoes and you told me what you said at the end of the date, I'd be demanding an explanation with a lengthy text haha. So there ya go, what to do. Hope it works out for you :)
Umm what the Hell kind of text is this?Unless you want to make an enemy out of him, don't send something so silly to him. Seriously that is taking it to the Extreme, when simply asking him sup without already assuming bad things.Things come up in life, unless you learn to accept this, Many future relationship may not go according to your plan.
wtf? Don't say that! You confused him by saying OK thank you and kind of rushing to get out of the car. You can still save this provided you haven't sent him any of these texts. This guy liked you enough to drive an hour to see you. Honestly you need to apologize to him. Just be like sorry I think I may have ran you off the other day at the end of the date. I was actually hoping for a kiss but I got kind of nervous and panicked at the end. Hopefully I didn't scare you off cause you're really cute. Text him that. Ok?
What Girls Said 2
Ah that's pretty harsh to send him that especially because it seems like he was into you and all of that has only happened because of a lack of communication.I think you should ask him out instead of sending him a letter full of grief. he was the one telling you should do it again and you're the one who didn't say it back in the first place. In my opinion, he's scared you're gonna turn him down if he asks to see you again. And the letter will confuse him even more, and make you look like the girl who doesn't know what she wants and then blame him for not understanding your mixed signals. In a word, it won't make you look good at all.Ask him out and at least you'll know for sure whether he is into you or not :)

re: Luvtooeat
Not necessarily! I had a charbroiled 8 0z burger with all the trimming at ' Esquire steak and Grill ' for only $4.55!! Much better than Burger King! Great fries too if you can dish out a couple more bucks! Address is SE corner of Sheppard and Vic Park.
re: flying101
I know King's has noodle specials for about $3.50 ... and it'd be like wonton, or brisket... depending on the day.
Yes, banh mi as well, in Chinatown - I go to Nuygen Hong... $2.50 for one, I think?
re: jennjen18
Yeah if you like congee you can get that plus the fried dough stick for $4.50+tax and tip I believe @ king noodle + probably other places
re: garfield
How does it compare to Ritz Caribbean just south on Yonge?
re: julesrules
The portions are smaller, but I prefer Tasty's . the chicken is moist and flavorful. For 3.99 +tax you get chicken and rice. 50 cents extra for coleslaw.
Gale's Snack Bar, a diner at 539 Eastern Ave. Fish and chips $3.25. Club sandwich $2.50. Have one of those, then splurge on a 60 cent coffee. Insanity. http://www.foodpr0n.com/2010/02/09/ga...
Chicken Baguette at Ginger, 546 Church St. - $4.
2 minute walk from Wellesley subway station on Yonge subway line.
BBQ pork on rice at Kom Jug Yuen on Spadina. Or even better, their roast pork and tofu on rice.
Patty and Coco Bread with a Ting at Randy's Patties at 1569 Eglinton Avenue West (Eglinton West Subway)
I posted this on another page too...sobeys at college and bay has a proscuitto/bocconcini/arugula sandwich on a ciabatta for 5.99. They will heat it there and there is seating at college park. It is amazing. I had it twice last week. i take mine home and microwave it ( I like soft bread) and everything melts together.
I second the ginger baguette. Also love the hot and sour shrimp soup and tempura yam and avocado cold rolls.
Any of the Ali Babas locations or Sultan Shwarma on the Danforth for good Falafel. Fresh Ginger at Yonge and Eglinton for Vietnamese.
If you're ever in Rexdale - transcendental doubles at Drupati's or Lena's at Albion/Islington, amazing pupusas At Mi Pueblo at Weston/Sheppard area.
You can check out Quiznos they have $5 dollar deals. I do not know where you're located to I can not tell you an address.
A mini veal or chicken sandwich at California Sandwiches' Dufferin Street location. Guess you could check the ttc website to see what buses would get you there, besides the Dufferin St bus. Not sure if it's available at other locations.
Sausage of the day on a bun at Sausage King at St Lawrence Market. King or Union Station.
Spanakopita, tyropita or creatopita at Athen's Pastries (on the Danforth near Chester Station, or on Vic Park north of the 401- could check ttc website for buses that service the Vic Park location).

Broken Arrow Library is closed Oct. 27-Dec. 7 for library improvements. Holds may be picked up at Martin Regional Library.
There are all kinds of reasons why people read, all of which are equally valid and important. Some read for escape and entertainment. Others want to experience historic, futuristic, or fantasy settings and characters. A lot of us read for the sheer appreciation of language and story as art. Still others want relatable characters that are so well formed they seem like real people.
Generally speaking, I love strange people. Let me clarify. I love the quirky, offbeat, and freakishly brilliant. These are people who might obsess over a certain historical figure or know everything imaginable about farming practices during the Neolithic period. They might read 5 books a week on whatever topic has captured their keen attention and then move onto their next area of study. If they were teenagers in the late 1980s, they made hundreds of mix tapes full of songs by unknown bands. While perhaps a bit socially awkward, these kinds of people are both infinitely gifted and g

Just the other day I was reading a small booklet from Jesus freaks - ninety-nine percent nonsense, but one percent really beautiful! And even if something is one percent beautiful it is so much, because if you go to the Christian theologians, they are one hundred percent nonsense. The one percent that was meaningful, I loved. That part says, "Hurry kills! Haste is waste." And God is not in a hurry. He moves with infinite patience. God is a loafer, he hangs around. In fact, God is not going anywhere - he is already there. So there is no goal. The arrow is dancing round and round and round. It is not going to any target - there is no target. Just being is the target. So God hangs around like the fragrance of a flower which hangs in a summer night - just around and around, nowhere to go.
And God has infinite patience. He works with care, and in very indirect ways. He creates a baby, and takes nine months - he doesn't seem to have any efficiency experts around him. This has been going on for millions of years, and he has not learned anything; otherwise he could have managed to create better instruments so that a baby could be created within nine minutes. Why nine months? And from the very beginning he has been doing the same thing; he has not learned anything. He should ask the experts, particularly the efficiency experts. They will show him how to produce, how to produce on a mass scale, and not waste so much time - nine months per baby!
But it is not only with babies - with flowers also he takes infinite care; with birds, even with a blade of grass he takes infinite care and time. He is not in a hurry. In fact it seems he is not aware of time at all. He exists timelessly. If you want to be with him, don't be in a hurry; otherwise you will bypass him. He will be always loitering here and now, and you will always be going there and then. You will always be like an arrow, and he is not like an arrow.
And to be with God is to be happy, to be with God is to be alive, to be with God is to be in meditation.
But the whole training of man is how to do things fast. Speed in itself seems to be a value. It is not. In itself it can create only madness - and it has created madness.
Move indirectly. And what is indirectly?
I used to know an old man who was always complaining, always grumpy. Everything was wrong - he was a born critic. And of course as critics suffer, he suffered, because sometimes it was too hot, and sometimes it was too cold, and sometimes it rained too much, and sometimes it didn't rain at all. All seasons, all the year round, he was suffering. A negative mind, a negative attitude - and he was continuously in search of being happy, continuously making every effort to be contented and satisfied. But I have not seen a more discontented man than him; he was the very personification of suffering, dissatisfaction, discontent. In his eyes there was nothing but discontent. On his face many wrinkles of tension and discontent, all the grumblings of his whole life were written there.

Frank DiGiacomo: William F. Buckley Jr. and Esquire in the 60s
Reading Thursday's New York Times obituary of National Review founder and conservative stalwart William F. Buckley Jr. and his "dashing daily life" as the newspaper of record put it, brought to mind a letter I'd found when I was digging through the papers and correspondence that the late, great Esquire editor Harold Hayes left to his alma mater Wake Forest University in Winston-Salem, North Carolina.
Although the Times obituary didn't mention it, Buckley played a significant and, at one point, antagonistic role during Hayes' s tenure at Esquire in the 1960s and early 70s. In addition to contributing pieces to Esquire, Buckley was instrumental in Hayes's hiring of National Review writer Garry Wills, who became one of Esquire's most valuable players during that turbulent decade. Buckley also served as a personal reference for Hayes when he bought an apartment and sought to get one of his children into private school, but that didn't prevent him from filing a libel suit against the magazine in 1969 after he and Gore Vidal went at each other in the pages of the magazine. (But given the complications of that tale, it is a story best left for another day.)
The letter I came across takes place before that legal contretemps, presumably when relations were much sunnier between Hayes and Buckley, but at a time when the nation was in turmoil. Written on National Review letterhead with the notation that it was "Dictated in Greece" but "Transcribed in New York," the letter is addressed to Hayes—actually, "Harold, mon vieux"—and dated June 12, 1968, almost a week after Robert F. Kennedy was assassinated in the kitchen of the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles.As this tragedy was taking place, Buckley seems to have been on some sort of a cruise off the very dashing coast of Greece, before satellite television, 24-hour news networks and the Internet—a very frustrating place to be during such a pivotal moment in American history. Indeed, one of the things I love about Buckley's letter to Hayes is the elegance with which he describes how he learned of R.F.K.'s death and of how little he has been able to find out since then.
"We got the news on shipboard, coming in in whines and rasps through an insufficient shortwave receiver," Buckley writes. "At one point we were left having to infer that he had died, from the use of the past tense in French biographical talk. I am still, almost a week later, without any accompanying news at all. In other words, I haven't yet absorbed the ghastly event, read the reports, seen the pictures, felt the thing through my pores."
But, as the letter continues, it's clear that Buckley and Hayes are in the process of hashing out a feature that would allow the former to weigh in on the assassination and that Buckley has a definite plan for getting up to speed on the matter and crashing a piece. "A piece about the politics of death that doesn't tie into the Bobby thing would be very bad indeed," Buckley continues. "I will have read and mastered all the stuff your office got up for me by the 14th, which is the day our boat gets back to Athens. I will then greedily gobble up everything I can, Times, Newsweek, Life, that kind of thing. I will then draft the piece on the airplane going back to New York. I simply can't do better than that," he concludes.
Hayes took the writer up on his offer and in the October 1968 issue—which depicted R.F.K., John F. Kennedy, and Martin Luther King on the cover—Esquire published "The Politics of Assassination" under Buckley's byline. Mediterranean be damned. A writer's idea of paradise is seeing his name on the printed page.

Stills from Ponor – Janczak music/art Video showing: OLD SHIRES HALL Durham 15th Aug.
Ponor – Janczak = 50/50 collaboration between visual artist and musician – with guest invites via the net.
Nick Janczak: https://soundcloud.com/fuzzyhaze
More info: http://experimentalstudio.org.uk/events/film-night
Breeze Creatives CIC and Vane, have been granted access to Old Shire Hall in Durham for a limited time, to host four very special events that aim to showcase some of the best creativity in Durham, Newcastle, Sunderland and the surrounding areas.
As part of this series of events taking place, on Friday 15th August for one night only we are staging a free night of film, video and moving image work by a selection of filmmakers and artists from throughout the region and beyond. Over a dozen rooms throughout the Grade II listed Old Shire Hall will be turned into screen rooms to showcase a diverse range of work.
Not only is this a chance to see some exciting up and coming filmmaker's work, but also a chance to look around the splendid Old Shire Hall, which has been inaccessible to the public for several decades. Old Shire Hall is a Grade II listed building situated in the heart of Durham City Centre. It was built in 1895 as the County Hall, and was used as such until 1963 when it was bought by the University of Durham as a home for their administration. Old Shire Hall has particular significance as this is where the first all Labour County Council was assembled in 1909.
Artists and filmmakers showcasing their work on the night include: Ruth Siddals, Beth Ross, Tim Neath, Peter McAdam, Ponor-Janczak, Klaus Pinter, Sean Burn, Kayleigh O'Keefe, Letizia Binda-Partensky, Sheryl Jenkins, Roberta Orlando, Melanie Menard, Lucia Schweigert, Nicola Joanne Carter, Huw Andrews, Fin McMorran, Allie Litherland, Anna Flemming, Amelia Crouch, and Stu Herring.
Free admission with pay bar.
some recent drawings
few things…
Just finished this small artwork for the Swedish art group METEOR. It's to be included in an upcoming visitation called dold konst- hidden art out in the countryside. An artworks protestation against the allowed dereliction of a group of very old riverside trees.
A collection of small things
My other P O N O R site will be ready shortly. It will have a new SHOP section where if you happen to spot anything you like you'll easily be able to buy my work – paintings/drawings/objects directly on-line, via Paypal and so on. (I'm also planning for a space where you'll be able put in bids – as in: "make me an offer" – a bit similar to what already happens on sites like Ebay.)
There's no reason why selling on-line shouldn't work for artists, the gallery system doesn't work well for anyone I ever met and that's a whole lot of artists and makers over the years. The high end prices charged at most larger established galleries only really help the already famous and successful, or let's just say, they are in place specifically to create exclusivity, thereby continuing the art market stranglehold which cynically uses art and artists as investment commodity. It should be possible to aim to keep prices at a sensible level so that anyone who really wants a unique piece of work should be able to buy it, enjoy it and feel welcome to be a part of the arts community – this in turn would really benefit artists and makers. This change wouldn't hurt the galleries, they already have their customer base, but there's a desperate need for those who make things to get directly connected to prospective customers and the net now offers us this as a real opportunity and option.
A few years back people weren't used to buying on-line but now most of us are used to it – of course there are a few problematic areas, colour reproduction for example, but I've never had anyone want to return an item specifically because it looked slightly different in colour due to monitor/screen settings.
I genuinely think things really need to change and they won't change unless artists and their supporters stop endorsing outdated methodology.
*Thanks for taking the time to read through this, I don't often sound off here : )

I had the privilege of Officiating a Christian Wedding Ceremony yesterday, November 15, 2014. What makes this unique is that it was for two kids of Chinese decent. They were adamant that the ceremony include God. We worked on this ceremony for about two months until they got what they wanted.

Sharia Law
Question: "Should Christians be concerned about the idea of Sharia Law?"
Answer: First, we should define Sharia Law. Sharia is, as expressed in the Qur'an and the Sunnah, divine law. The Sunnah is a record of the life and example of the Islamic prophet Muhammad. The Sunnah is primarily contained in the Hadith or reports of Muhammad's sayings, his actions, his tacit approval of actions, and his…Continue

Basal cell carcinoma: The most common type of skin cancer, a disease in which the cancer cells resemble the basal cells of the epidermis, the outer layer of the skin.
Basal cell carcinomas usually appear as the classic "sore that doesn't heal." A bleeding or scabbing sore that seems to get somewhat better, then recurs and starts to bleed, may be a basal cell carcinoma.
Most basal cell carcinomas are on the face and neck where the skin is exposed to sunlight. However, a fair number show up on parts of the body such as the abdomen, leg, and scalp exposed to little or no sunlight.
Basal cell carcinomas typically are locally invasive. They tend to burrow in locally and not metastasize (spread) to distant locations.
Small basal cell carcinomas can be removed by being scraped and burned (electrodesiccation and curettage). Larger basal cells can be removed by surgery. Basal cell carcinomas on the scalp, ears, and sides of the nose, as well as those which have come back after being treated, are treated best by Mohs surgery.
One basal cell carcinoma means an increased risk of developing another. Prudent sun precautions and annual skin checkups by the doctor are advisable.

Apple functioning about cheaper iPhone: Report
Technology giant Apple is reportedly developing a unique, cheaper iPhone for release later this year, based on the Wall Street Journal.
Apple hasn't confirmed the program, yet the Journal reported which the Cupertino-based business is searching at producing a less-expensive iPhone utilizing a cheaper body, perhaps created from polycarbonate plastic rather of the aluminium case utilized for the iPhone 5. The report furthermore speculates which the rest of the telephone may be prepared up of recycled components from elder iPhone models.
It will be a main shift for the organization, that has traditionally available just 1 new model to the marketplace with every update, yet comes following Apple's smartphone marketplace share started shrinking throughout the last several years with all the rise of Android. Although, the newest report from Kantar Worldpanel Comtech showed which inside the 4 months to November 25th, Apple picked up 53.3 % of US smartphone sales found on the back of the iPhone 5. The numbers weren't thus wise for Apple inside Australia, with 35.9 % inside for iOS plus 58 % for Android inside the same period.
The iPhone 5 currently retails inside Australia from AU$ 799.
A cheaper iPhone might come close to a year following Apple changed tact found on the iPad; releasing an iPad Mini (beginning at AU$ 369) to complement the greater, higher priced iPad which begins at AU$ 539.
The report comes when Apple CEO Tim Cook is within China, for factors not yet explained by the business, though it is very rumoured which he is seeking to expand Apple's retail presence plus iPhone 5 supply inside the nation.

Covering Unified Communications - From Our Indsutry Experts
[November 29, 2012]
Acme Packet demonstrates WebRTC interworking capability
Nov 29, 2012 (TELECOMWORLDWIRE via COMTEX) -- Acme Packet (NASDAQ: APKT) announced the first successful demonstration of a WebRTC-enabled browser calling a mobile network subscriber via a multi-vendor IP Multimedia Subsystem network, employing a session border controller for secure and seamless interoperability between the web and an IMS core with connectivity to the PSTN.
WebRTC is an emerging standard for real-time communications in web browsers and embeds voice and video directly into existing browsers without having to download stand-alone communication applications.
Enabled by Acme Packet SBCs, an HTML5-based WebRTC dialer on a laptop was used inside of Google's Chrome browser to initiate a call to a 3G mobile subscriber using a major North American mobile service providers' multi-vendor IMS infrastructure.
This demonstration represented a significant step towards the broader use of WebRTC by showing how WebRTC technology can be used to connect billions of Internet users to the PSTN's six billion fixed line and mobile subscribers.
Acme Packet enables the trusted, first-class delivery of next-generation voice, video, data and unified communications services and applications across IP networks.

Building A Business Case For Unified Communications
The hype surrounding any emerging technology often shrouds the private sector with mixed feelings, as decision-makers try to decipher whether new offerings will enhance operations, hinder productivity or introduce some bizarre mixture of the two.
Instant Cashflow Improvement and Rapid ROI with Unified Communications
The up-and-down economy of the past several years has highlighted the need to operate more effi ciently and cut costs wherever possible. In most situations, these two notions would seem contradictory, but a number of emerging technologies - cloud computing, virtualization and the bring-your-own-device movement among them - are helping companies accomplish these goals.
The Top Four Pitfalls of Unified Communications
Today's enterprise needs to be agile if decision-makers wish to remain competitive and relevant in the eyes of consumers. As more companies and customers around the world begin leveraging innovative devices like smartphones, tablets and next-generation laptops, the need to deploy unified communications grows alongside it. Neglecting to implement the technology may result in dire consequences that could spell the end of an organization.

The Kindle version of The Power of Vow is available now on Amazon!
By the end of the training I felt that yes, it was no accident that I was in that place at that time with those people. I'm a certified Yoga of 12 Step Recovery (Y12SR) space holder/leader now. I've done a lot of work over the past 30 years and this weekend was part of the ongoing process of transformation. I'm grateful for the opportunity to let the issues that were trapped in my tissues arise in a safe place, with safe people. I feel pretty raw and I still have this dang cold. But healing ain't easy. As I've said in The Power of Vow, you gotta feel the pain if you want to heal the pain. And, as they say in the rooms, you gotta name it to claim it. We don't have to do it along. Y12SR is a great way to do this work. I'm looking forward to starting two new meeting/classes here in Portland very soon.
Yoga …it's not just for hippies any more.
I wondered where all the intelligent discussion went on the Internet. Was there some site I was unaware of where people shared information without spam and anger? Then I got on to a Google Plus discussion for a new book on authorship. I write books and am interested in technology. I was shocked to find out that there was great people, resources and conversations to be had. Others have been saying this for some time, but I was unconvinced. For some reason, like Facebook and Twitter and Instagram and Pinterest, I didn't get Google Plus right away.

November 27, 2014
PARIS (AP) - The latest Brad Pitt-Angelina Jolie sequel is being described as powerful and elegant with a "mouthwatering finish."
These raves don't appear in movie publications - they're from Decanter magazine's review of the celebrity couple's second vintage of rose wine produced at their French Provencal estate, Chateau Miraval.
The 2013 Miraval goes on sale online Friday and will be in shops and restaurants around the world next month. Decanter describes the Cotes de Provence rose as "charmingly pretty in color" with "a delicate structure that deepens through the palate."
The 2012 vintage, Pitt's and Jolie's first since buying the 500-hectare (1,200 acre) estate, was the highest-ranked rose on Wine Spectator's annual Top 100 wines list.
Around 200,000 bottles of the '13 will be sold for around 15 euros ($20) each.

Mr. Mike's Catering
Canton, OH
Anonymous 5 Reviews
LOVE Mr. Mike's!! They are so delicious and such wonderful people to work with! They really help with whatever you need, and are so pleasant doing so!
Wedding: 2+ years ago
Services Used: Catering
They offer familiar and well explained selections on their menu. The gentleman who called to get our menu selections was very easy to work with on dietary needs for our guests. The buffet at our reception never seemed picked over and the staff were very friendly. They provided the linens with napkins in many different colors. We were able to pick two colors and have them alternated. Mr Mike's is the only catering company that Windsor Hall works with and we can see why. They are professional and have wonderful food. At the end over the evening they also package up the leftovers and send them home for the bride and groom.

Mr. Mikes was the caterer that came with Spring Valley Golf course and they were amazing. the quality and quantity of food was amazing for the cost that they gave us. The only problem we had was a bartender that they hired that was totally not into his job and was really rude to the family of the bride. But the catering food part of this was great!

Mr. Mike's Catering is included in any reception done through Meyers Lake Ballroom. Terry Baker is the guy in charge. When he meets with you, he gets right to the point. He will answer all your questions. Phone is a good source of contact. (There is no website.) I definitely recommend a taste test although they have you come to another event and you may not get to taste the item you would like. Food is good for the price.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia [+]
Manhattan is the most densely populated of the five boroughs of New York City. The borough is coterminous with New York County, an original county of the U.S. state of New York.
