Alice Navasargian Authors Second Tome on Armenian Contributions to the Arts
By Pat and Samir Twair
In 1997 Alice Minassian Navasargian produced her first book, Golden Bridges: 20th Century Armenian Artists. It provided biographies and beautiful color reproductions of Armenian artists who were born in or lived in Iran. Two years later, she has published a second lavishly illustrated book, entitled Armenian Women of the Stage, which spotlights Armenian women actresses, singers and musicians over the past 150 years.
Navasargian's new book was presented to the public Dec. 15 at a Brandview Collection reception in Glendale. More than 200 Armenian Americans were on hand for the program, which featured talks by Dr. Mihran Agbabian, president emeritus of the American University in Armenia, and Prof. Yervand Ghazanjian, president of the Actors Guild and Actors Studio of Armenia.
Lauding Navasargian for her research, Dr. Agbabian noted that Armenian theater has been documented for more than two millennia. However, with the advent of Islam, women withdrew from the stage in the Middle East until the mid-19th century. The first Armenian actress to remind audiences that a woman was much more convincing in a female role than a young man was Arousiak Papazian, who dared to appear on stage for the first time in 1858.
Turkish persecution at the turn of the century abruptly ended Armenian theater productions until after 1920, Dr. Agbabian said. Subsequently, Armenian theater in the Soviet Union had little contact with that of the West.
The author, who was born in Tabriz, Iran and received her degrees from the University of Isfahan, is dedicated to bringing the history of Armenian contributions to the arts to world attention.
"For Armenians, storytelling is an important medium through which older generations communicate with their youth to preserve the uniqueness of our culture," Navasargian told the Washington Report on Middle East Affairs. "My book is not a collection of biographies...it is about our stage heroines, a group of amazing and talented Armenian women in all the performing arts."
Because she selected more than 50 artists, Navasargian said she focused on their major achievements rather than offering a scholarly account of each year of their lives. She talked to descendants and friends of deceased artists, and personally interviewed many of the living performers.
She learned that pioneer actress Papazian, who was born in 184l in Constantinople and by 1863 was performing Sappho in Sophocles' Antigone and Lucrezia in Victor Hugo's Lucrezia Borgia, eventually was forced off the stage. At the peak of her career she married the successful painter Sophon Bezirjian. He not only forbade her from acting, but would not allow her even to attend the theater. She died in obscurity.
It was a happier existence for the statuesque beauty Yeranouki Garagashian, who made her first appearance on stage in 1865, at the age of 18. She starred in melodramas and classic stage productions for more than 15 years until she abdicated her crown as queen of the theater to marry Prince Alexander Arghutiants Yerkaynabazuk of Tiflis. She lived in regal luxury until her death at age 76 in 1924.
Mari Nvart lived only 32 years, yet more has been written about her than any other Armenian actress. She was born in 1853 in Constantinople and was raised as an orphan by Catholic nuns.
She began acting at age 17, and by 1885 was recognized as the prima donna of the Manakian Company. Her final appearance was in Tiflis, where she played the role of Margetet Goethe in La Dame aux Camelias. She failed to make her last curtain call because, Victorian critics wrote, she had been consumed by her tragic role and drew her last breaths listening to the applause of her audience.
Another tragic life was led by the beautiful Azniv Hrachia, who achieved her greatest success performing historical tragedies and melodramas in the early 1880s. She was diagnosed with tuberculosis at the height of her career and settled in Baku in 1896.
Siranoush (1857 to 1932) became an acting legend after she performed the role of Ophelia in Hamlet and created her own school of theater. Her performances in Russia were regarded as her finest work.
In the West, Zabel Aram, who emigrated with her parents to the United States in 1907, sang at the Boston Opera Hall in 1920 and, after studying at music conservatories in Rome, Milan, Paris and Geneva, performed opera in Europe and the U.S. from 1932 to 1948.
Lilie Chookasian was born in 1920 in Chicago and sang with the Metropolitan Opera. In 1978, as a guest artist at the White House, she sang the first Armenian songs performed in the presidential mansion.
Arlene Frances, post-World War II star of film, radio and television, was the daughter of New York photographer Aram Kazanjian. Born in 1926, she has been a familiar face on the TV screen for five decades.
Superstar Cher is recognized more in this tome for her visit to Armenia in 1993 than for her world-class achievements as a pop singer and actress. Several pages are devoted to photos of the Oscar-winning actress visiting orphanages and historic sites of Yerevan.
Tribute is paid to concert pianist Dora Sarviarian Kohn, who was born in 1936 in Beirut and is a leading interpreter of Khachaturian's "Piano Concerto."
World-class Armenian opera singers are Maria Guleghina, Hasmik Papian, Aline Kutan and Kallen Esperian.
Armenian Women of the Stage should be in university libraries as well as on coffee tables throughout the world. It is interesting to speculate whether Navasargian will next turn her attention to Armenian writers and poets.
Lebanese National Day
Lebanon's Consul General in Los Angeles Dr. John Makaron and his attorney wife, Graziella, hosted a Nov. 21 reception in the Beverly Hilton Hotel on the occasion of Lebanon's 56th independence day.
The consul general told the more than 1,000 guests that Beirut had been designated the "cultural capital of 1999" by UNESCO and the Arab League.
The envoy also hailed the organization of the non-profit Lebanese American Foundation, which has been formed to establish The House of Lebanon in the Los Angeles area.
More than $200,000 has been pledged to the LAF, which hopes to combine a cultural center, library and consular offices. Dr. Hanna Chammas has been named charter chairman of the LAF.
Arab Knesset Member Speaks
Husniya Jabara, the first Palestinian woman ever elected to the Israeli Knesset, has been the guest of Meretz USA in several speaking engagements in North America. In Los Angeles, she spoke to Jewish groups and met informally with Arab Americans and Jewish leaders in the home of Dr. Sabri and Jane El Farra.
As a member of Israel's dovish Meretz Party, Jabara was appointed to the Knesset Committee on Labor and Social Welfare, Education and the Status of Women after her election to office last May. The Meretz Party holds 10 seats (four of which are occupied by women) in the 120-member Knesset.
Some of the bills Jabara has introduced to the Knesset deal with compensating Palestinian victims of terrorism on a par with Israeli Jews, who receive reparations as targets of terrorist attacks; educational grants for Palestinian women students; shelters for Palestinian women who face domestic violence; and measures to stop hiring discrimination against Palestinians by Israeli utility companies.
Jabara noted that 50 percent of Israeli Arabs are below the poverty level and that their unemployment levels are 80 percent for women and 35 percent for men.
In Israel, she noted, Palestinian women have traditionally worked for minimum wages in the clothing industry. Now the Israelis are moving clothing factories to Jordan, where workers are paid even less than in Israel. This leaves most Palestinian women jobless.
"People aren't starving," Jabara said. "One can always find a loaf of bread to put on the table. But efforts must be made to create jobs for Israeli Arabs."
When asked about representation of Israeli Arabs in the Knesset, she replied that although they account for 20 percent of Israel's population, they make up only 11.5 percent of the Knesset membership.
As for how Israeli Arabs voted in the last election, she estimated that 95 percent of the Arab vote went to Ehud Barak. "Actually," she quipped, "I think Barak received a bigger Arab vote than Mubarak did in Egypt."
In response to the problems in Nazareth, where the Israeli government has issued a permit for construction of a large mosque in the plaza of the Church of the Annunciation there, she blamed the conflict on Israel's Likud Party.
"The people of Nazareth have always lived together peacefully," she said. "If the problem were left up to the people, they could resolve it quickly. This whole situation is artificial."
When asked why she joined the Meretz Party, Jabara said it is the party for peace and that Yossi Sarid, Israel's Meretz education minister, has initiated a five-year plan for 2,000 new Palestinian classrooms, 39 preschool programs and the inclusion of 20 Palestinian academics into the Israeli Department of Education. In addition, he has insisted upon new textbooks that teach the truth about the founding of Israel and such incidents as the Israeli massacre of Palestinians at Deir Yassin and Kafr Kassem.
Jabara also praised the Meretz Party's Ran Cohen, Israel's minister of trade and industry, who has called a stop to public funding of industrial development in settlements.
"We can have all the peace one desires," she concluded. "But if one side is impoverished and lives in sub-standard conditions, the privileged side will not prevail. History tells us that the outsiders look enviously upon the rich centers and sooner or later, they will invade them."
"Lost Worlds" Documentary Looks at Mideast Realistically
"From Moses to McDonald's, life goes on in the Middle East." So narrated Rick Ray in his documentary, "Lost Worlds of the Middle East: Israel, Jordan, Syria and Lebanon." The 80-minute film was shown at a UCLA program sponsored by Open Tent, a Los Angeles Middle East Coalition.
Prior to the screening of his documentary, Ray explained he earlier made films on the South China Sea, Bali, Vietnam, Burma and Cambodia.
"The Middle East was at the bottom of my list of regions I wanted to explore," he confessed, "until The Learning Channel [TLC] approached me about filming a documentary on the area, particularly the city of Jerusalem."
He noted that he most likely was selected by TLC because he has a reputation for gaining entry into difficult parts of the world and filming without government approval.
"I figure it's easier to ask for forgiveness afterward than to ask for permission before," Ray quipped.
TLC organized a three-man panel to interview Ray for the assignment. Each member professed a different religion. The first question asked was what faith Ray practices. When he said Buddhism, he was hired.
With his disassembled camera equipment and film stuffed in a backpack, Ray traveled in 1997 to the Middle East, where he spent one month each in Lebanon and Jordan, two weeks in Syria, and visited Israel eight times.
Since this was his first encounter with the Middle East, we asked Ray if he researched his material beforehand or relied on experts in the countries he visited. "I believe in formulating first impressions and then researching later," he responded.
"Lost Worlds" does not focus on each country as an entity so much as it crosses borders in order "to allow Arabs and Israelis to think about their commonality."
As the viewer looks upon a panoramic desert landscape, Ray narrates: "It is clear God owns this land, but who owns God?"
He philosophizes that the Arab world is an Eastern civilization built on kinship and that loyalty to the clans is uppermost.
"I discovered there is no such thing as a united Arab world nor a united Israel—tribalism is universal."
As the camera pans on Israelis at an outdoor café in Tel Aviv, he continues: "Israel is the most tribal of all. Each Israeli is in a camp or political party."
Turning to scenes of Beirut under massive reconstruction, he observes: "Lebanon witnessed one of the ugliest tribal wars of history. When a tribe has modern weaponry, it no longer is a tribe. It is a militia. Here, 17 militias fought for 17 years."
Ray does not mention Israel's devastating 1982 air, land and sea invasion of Lebanon, but he does comment that not one of the warring militias targeted the banking institutions on the Green Line because the funds of each were in them.
"God, oil and water are the reason people live in the Middle East," he states in the documentary. "Our Western God was born in a desert. Yet because water is so rare here, it takes on grotesque proportions."
The film as Ray produced it was rejected by TLC, which instead used much of his footage in a production entitled "Gates of Jerusalem," narrated by Richard Kiley. Ray obtained the stock footage rights to create "Lost Worlds," which he shows on university campuses and sells as an 80-minute video.
His latest project is an inside look at Ethiopia.

What to Do
- If your fingers are numb, be very careful when grasping objects that are sharp, hot, or otherwise dangerous.
- If your sense of balance or muscle strength is affected, avoid falls by moving carefully, using handrails when going up or down stairs, and using bath mats in the bathtub or shower. Use a cane or other walking aid if needed.
- If possible, always wear shoes with rubber soles, such as sneakers.

- Be careful when cooking. Take steps to avoid cutting or burning yourself.
- Wear gloves when cooking, washing dishes, or gardening.
- Rest when you feel tired.
- Ask your doctor for pain medication. There are multiple different medications available that can effectively treat the pain related to neuropathy. In certain situations your doctor may refer you to a cancer pain specialist for further treatment.
- Consider acupuncture . Many people with acute neuropathy find acupuncture helpful. It usually takes 2-5 treatments before beneficial effects can be appreciated. Acupuncture treatment is in some cases covered by medical insurance. Check with your doctor to see if you are at risk for infection from accupuncture because of low white blood cell counts.

European Banks Insure $25 Billion of Government Debt via Swaps
Dec. 16 (Bloomberg) -- European banks have sold insurance on a net 18.9 billion euros ($25 billion) of government debt in the region, according to figures from the European Banking Authority analyzed in today's Bloomberg Risk newsletter.
Data gathered by the EBA for its stress tests, combined with figures compiled by the Depository Trust & Clearing Corp., show that European Union banks are responsible for 17 percent of the credit-default swaps issued on euro sovereign bonds.
German, French and Italian banks have the most at stake, the data show. German banks have underwritten 8.1 billion euros of government securities, the most for any country surveyed by the EBA. The four largest French banks, which were downgraded by Moody's Investors Service last week, wrote 4.1 billion euros of protection, while Italian banks sold 3 billion euros of swaps designed to compensate the buyer in the event of a government failing to meet its obligations.
The entanglement between banks and their governments may hamper plans by regulators to move settlement of credit-default swap trades to clearing houses by the end of 2012, said Jon Gregory, partner at Solum Financial Partners in London. French banks, for example, have insured a net 1.5 billion euros of their own government debt, according to the EBA.
Risk Analysis
"Managing portfolio and wrong-way risks in credit-default swaps is one of the most difficult challenges on a technical level, and it is unclear that clearing companies have had the time or expertise in place to manage this properly," said Gregory. "In terms of disclosure, clearers are a bit of a black box in terms of analyzing the risk on their balance sheets."
The only clearing house that can currently handle sovereign default swaps is InterContinental Exchange Inc., which began clearing Brazilian, Mexican, Argentine and Venezuelan CDS last month. In its Securities and Exchange Commission approval for the move on Oct. 18, ICE Clear Credit said it would prohibit dealers from clearing CDS on their own countries because the default correlation risk was too high.
ICE is still awaiting Financial Services Authority approval to clear European sovereigns, fifteen months after submitting a request for approval. Rival LCH.Clearnet Ltd. is focusing on clearing corporate single-name CDS, according to an e-mailed statement from the company.
Swaps pay the buyer face value in exchange for the underlying securities or the cash equivalent should a borrower fail to adhere to its debt agreements. The figures for Europe's banks are net positions; German banks, for example, have sold 109 billion euros of protection and bought 100.9 billion euros.

The "Three-Legged Stool" of Learning
United Way of Greater Greensboro funds programs and initiatives addressing the critical needs in our community in the areas of Education, Income/Self-Sufficiency, and Health. We recognize that children are the future and deserve opportunities to grow and become successful. Here are some insights from Jacob Rosenberg, student at The Early College at Guilford, Intern at United Way of Greater Greensboro.
Famous author G.K. Chesterton once said, "There is a great deal of difference between an eager man who wants to read a book and a tired man who wants a book to read." A study by Purdue assistant professor of development studies, Jennifer Dobbs-Oates, is putting new validity behind this statement.
Her study's focus was on, "low-income preschoolers ages 3-5," and asked parents questions about the level of interest their children had in reading. The study found that students who showed an early interest in reading, "[were] more likely to show positive, adaptive behavior [rather] than negative, disruptive kinds of behavior." However, it is just not reading for the sake of reading that helps. "It's like a three-legged stool – learning and behavior aren't enough, you also need to incorporate a child's interests and motivation," said Dobbs-Oates.
Think about this in context. Here is Sam, a student in the 2nd grade class who is reading well above grade level. Next to him is Rachel, who is struggling to read at a first grade level. Is Sam smarter than Rachel? Or, was Rachel deprived of the tools to help her learn at an early age? By giving children books when they are young, we empower them to become better students and better people. Talk to your kids, learn what interests they have and make learning personal. As parents and responsible members of the community, we must show children that learning is something they can grow to love.
Oftentimes we think that to change a child's behavior it is merely a function of he or she changing. In reality, the parents and families must collectively adjust their actions and mindset so that children can understand the importance of learning.
This kind of family wide change also addresses the problem of obesity. Dr. Dennis Clements of Duke often tells families, "Obesity is a family event, not an individual event." He offers advice for how to make the changes necessary to truly change the way we live. Our problems are not things that can be done away with ease, no matter how fool-proof the product seemed at 2 a.m. on that infomercial.
If we want to give our children the best future possible, it means change by all of us. United Way is committed to making changes for the better. The Thriving at 3 initiative operates under the premise that children who are physically and emotionally healthy by age three are more likely to be successful in school and in life—and a focus on early literacy is a key component.
Change is scary, and it is hard. However, when we realize the impact that we have on someone else's life, it makes change a lot easier. Any child, including myself, can tell you that a parent's help learning makes everything easier. From a teacher's lesson plan to the everyday complications of growing up, communication in some form with a mentor is unimaginably helpful. Someday we can all hope to be lucky enough to help someone as much as our mentors have helped us. Let's make someday as soon as possible.
What do you think should be done to help early child development?
What do you see as a key to the future of our children's education?
Comment below and start the discussion…….

Do Americans want a president… or a boss?
Visit NBCNews.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy
Mitt Romney looks down on everyone. He is a narcissist and that's what they do. They are incapable of normal, equal human relationships. They have no empathy, only fake it, which is why he made the Libya blunder, the binders-of-women blunder, and was so rude to the President. He doesn't have a natural instinct for how people will take things and what is appropriate, because those cogs in his machinery, that most of us take for granted, are simply missing.
You're right Karen,and that may well explain his(Romney's) behavior toward the President,but still,Romney's disrespect for the President of the U.S. was disgusting and subhuman(your point),and,he did it last time too.
This country is in deep trouble if they(repubs)win.
I meant Romney's disrespect to the President was way way beyond the bounds of decency, and I hope people took due note of it.
It is quite disturbing that many Americans are not seeing who Romney is really. As an American citizen from NIgeria, I have seen nothing honest and real about this salesman who wants to become an American President. All through these months of campaign, Romney Mitt or Mitt Romney or Mitt Ryan or other shades of Romney cannot be associated with a position on any issue. Unfortunately, the Democrats have punched him with kid gloves allowing him to stampede the landscape as a bully.He and his surrogates like Sununu etc have such disdain for the President. This was obvious and palpable in the second debate. It is NOW imperative for all pro Obama adherents to aggressively work out the last days of this campaign by zeroing on the Obama's policies and programmes in SPECIFIC terms. Ms Reid and other visible pro Obama commentators must as a priority ask the President to hit the Romney team for a boundary so we can pull away from the opposition as we turn the last lap of this journey.The Foreign Policy Debate MUST deal a deadly blow to the presidential pretender.
James Lipton nails it! Summarizes it best. This video should be widely disseminated. It is language everyone can understand. Everyone!
I for one am getting feed up with the Republican lack of respect for the Office of the President of the United States of America and especially, this President. All TRUE American's should be outraged that OUR country should be subjected to this type of disrespect by many who took pledges and oaths to uphold and defend The Constitution of the United States. Mitt is bad enough but the apple doesn't fall far from the tree, now Tagg gave a public treat to the President. This should be investigated by Secret Service and if not charged, a public apology along with his removal from the campaign. It is time for Americans to stand up.
Non Political James Lipton explains Romney so well that EVERYONE who votes should watch this video. This entire clip, including the debate examples, strips away all the noise from both sides and provides clear, concise facts about who each candidate is. Anyone who is undecided NEEDS to see this! Thank you, James Lipton
I have a few Questions that I wish someone would bring up:
1. Why doesn't Obama talk about his job bill that he announced at the state of the union?
2. Why doesn't someone say to him, you are talking about people not paying taxes but you have money in Bermuda, The Caymans, and Switzerland so you don't have to pay taxes.
3. If they lower the tax rates 20% does that mean the government will have to give Romney money since he only pays 14%.
4. Considering what was going on in the middle east on 9/11, is it really so difficult to need time to figure out what really happened in Benghazi.
5. Why doesn't Obama say to Rmoney, the families of Chris Stevens and the other 3 people killed have asked that we not politicize the deaths of their loved ones, and I plan to do what they want.
Just sayin'.

Carlisle: KCAL says goodbye to Lakers one more time
Sometimes, even breakups don't go the way they were planned. That's what happened Thursday night when the Los Angeles Lakers failed to close out their playoff series against the Nuggets in Game 5 and had to go back to Denver to play Game 6.
Most of us simply think about the competitive ramifications to all of that, but the loss also meant the Lakers would play one more game on KCAL (Channel 9). This is the Lakers' last season on KCAL and Fox Sports West. Starting next season, the Lakers will put their games on two channels that are being launched by Time Warner, one of which will be in Spanish.
Time Warner announced Thursday the channels will be known as Time Warner Cable SportsNet and Time Warner Cable Deportes. The networks will launch Oct. 1 and also have rights to the Galaxy and Sparks.
Channel 9 had pretty much said its goodbyes to the Lakers after Game 4 on Sunday. It had to. It wasn't likely there would be any more road games left for the station. KCAL has televised Lakers road games for 35 seasons, going back to when the station was still known as KHJ.
On Sunday night, the station ran a tribute of highlights, with the cast of usual suspects: Magic Johnson, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, James Worthy, Michael Cooper, Norm Nixon and, of course, Chick Hearn.
Thursday night seemed a little awkward, kind of like breaking up with your girlfriend and storming out of the house, only to have to return seconds later to get your coat.
Fox Sports West went through much the same thing. It looked like Tuesday would be the last game for FSW, which was previously known as Prime Ticket and Prime Sports, and has televised Lakers home games for more than three decades as well.
While KCAL has remained rather civil about its breakup, Fox's relationship with the Lakers has been on the rocks most of the season. Earlier this season, Fox did what heretofore would have been unthinkable: It showed two Angels games on FS West and farmed the Lakers out to Prime Ticket (the channel originally known as Fox Sports West 2 and was later given the name of FSW's predecessor).
The Lakers had always taken precedence over any other team when Fox had conflicts. But now, since the Angels have a contract with FS West and the Lakers no longer do, Fox had few qualms about sending Kobe Bryant and his friends off to another network.
Not only that, but have you noticed how the little watermark logo in the upper-right corner of the screen that used to say "FS Lakers" has been replaced with the more generic "FS West"?
It's like an estranged father saying "I have no son! You are dead to me!"
Well, maybe not [begin ital]quite [end ital]like that. But you get the idea.
Business matters aside, it's still sad to see the Lakers leave broadcast TV altogether by dumping KCAL, and leaving its original cable TV home, a network that came into being primarily to show the Lakers.
Time Warner is also wooing the Dodgers, whose contract with Prime Ticket expires after next season. If that happens, the viability of Fox keeping two networks afloat in L.A. could come into question.
Problems are likely to occur with the launching of the new Time Warner channels. Sure, Time Warner's cable system will pick them up, but will they be on basic cable like Fox is, or moved to a costlier sports tier?
And what if you don't have Time Warner Cable? The channels will be available to other systems, but negotiations could be contentious. Cable systems won't want to be without the highly watched Lakers, but paying for SportsNet and Deportes, and passing the cost along to customers, will be a problem.
It's all quite ironic since Time Warner still refuses to carry NFL Network. This figures to be much the same, except this time the Time Warner negotiators will be trying to get systems to carry their networks.

#2 CameraBag Desktop v1.5.1-rG
27-07-2010, 10:09
rG released CameraBag Desktop for Windows OS. With this application you can easily apply filters to your images.
CameraBag recreates the magic of film in a fast, intuitive, minimal interface: choose a photo, choose a filter, and you re done. Digital cameras have replaced film for all but the most die-hard photographers, but something was lost in that transition. Before the digital era, a photographer s choice of camera and film had nearly as much artistic impact as the subject matter. Rediscover the fading, tinting, blurring, chemical processing techniques, and happy accidents which gave film photos life.
* Multi-filtering You can apply multiple filters at once by enabling Multi-filtering. Different combinations will look good for different photos, but we highly recommend trying Instant > ColorCross. Or Helga > Lolo. Or Magazine > Mono. Just click the filters in the order you want to apply them. (Order does matter.) If something doesn t look good, click the filter again to remove it from the list.
* Reprocess Each filter has a default look, but you can also enable Reprocessing for subtle variations. Keep pressing the Reprocess button, and you ll keep getting new exposures.
* Customization Each filter has a default border and cropping, but you can always specify a different one (or none) from the drop-down menus.
* Easy To Use with many features

Comentarios sobre Marrakech-Tensift-El Haouz
I visited
many times and everytime I go there it's a different experience. I found it to be one of the most beautiful cities in the world.
I was in Morocco in September 2006 and I can say it's one of my favourite places on the Earth. I have visited
and liked it soooooooo much. I am going to visit it again very soon. People are friendly, everything's just perfect.
Going to
is like changing dimensions, in the evening look for a tallish hotel overlooking the marketplace, entry to the roof is a dollar or two and to sip a beverage, watch the sunset and the smoke and smells of the evening meal is magical. Once you try the market by your lonesome you will hire a guide the next day! They know the maze, cost a little and protect you from the leeching street merchants who will hang a trinket from your shirt pocket and say you bought it. Hire the guide. I used a pair of headphones from the airplane to get privacy and while the average Moroccan is versed in 5 languages, they don't know "sprechen sie deutch?"... the general motto in shopping is: "if you look at it you bought it" or owe them something so you learn to look sideways or ahead but don't wear dark glasses, cause then they will assume you ARE looking :-) I should of bought a dasheeke day 1, to blend in more. My friends and I had a great time visiting the architectural sites…
I visited
and it was a great place to visit. Well recommended. Try the tajin -- it's lovely, and prepare to haggle! All I can say is that Marrakech is worth a look.
… Not meaning to dampen the moods of people who are willing to visit Marrakesh, but I would just like to say that it is no bed of roses in there. Taxi drivers, salespeople, restaurants, and even hotels attempt to overcharge you boldly in any way you can possibly imagine. You can never believe anything they say because they are constantly trying to take money off you with their oh-so-fake friendliness. I suppose you can't really expect much from such a poor place, but I was disappointed. People had told me it was wonderful and I was so full of expectations. So, my advice is to go, but keep your expectations low and take things as they come along.
… People there are going to try and get as much money out of you as possible. Their economy revolves around tourism and really, generally speaking, them "ripping you off" is them trying to charge you 3 bucks for something you could get for one. Most of us can afford the extra couple bucks, but for them it makes a big difference. Don't assume that the people there are all being falsely friendly -- sure, part of it's an act to get you to buy things, but sometimes if you can get past that you'll find they are genuinely kind people. Our hostel owners and people that worked at many of the restaurants and shops we went to were some of the nicest I've ever met. If you're a girl expect a lot of attention from the men there, but generally it's all pretty harmless cat calls and the like. However don't feel like you have to tolerate any abusive behavior from them. All in all it's one of the most interesting cities I've ever been to, with some of the nicest people you'll meet …

Taxpayers in the Indian Trails Public Library district are due to see their property taxes drop slightly -- about $27 for the owner of a $300,000 home -- this fall when a tax hike approved in 1995 expires. The library district says expanding programs and structural problems have created new challenges, and they're asking voters to extend the tax indefinitely. These are difficult times for everybody, and we're happy for anyone with the prospect of reducing their tax bills, even slightly. Yet, the issues at the Indian Trails library -- a cramped parking lot, inadequate video collection and especially more space for teens, job seekers and community groups -- are real, and the economic environment is such that the money will go much further now than it will if the district has to come back for a tax increase in a few years. Now is the best time to get the work under way, so we recommend a YES vote.

Promotional Caps and Hats
Promotional caps and hats are great options when it to promotional apparel. They are relatively inexpensive and adjustable so that you don't have to worry about ordering different sizes to fit different people or figuring out what a particular person wears. Caps and hats are popular among trades people because although they are informal, they do convey a sense of professionalism and expertise. They are among the more versatile wearable gifts you can carry, since they can be worn in almost any environment, from golf outings to fishing trips to the job site itself.
Separate Yourself from the Competition
These days, with the national market experiencing so much upheaval, it has become more difficult for many businesses to earn a reasonable profit margin on the work they do. You have so little room for error that it does not leave very much room for a marketing budget. But a boxful of promotional baseball caps to stick in the back seat of your car surely won't bankrupt a healthy company. Separate yourself from the competition by providing a value added product at no extra cost to customers.
To these clients, you'll be giving them one more reason to recommend your company to others by giving them free promotional caps and hats. To vendors and suppliers, you'll be showing them your appreciation while also giving yourself some cheap advertising to place upon their heads. For your own employees, promotional caps and hats are the perfect final touch for an employee uniform, or a great start on your way to standardizing employee dress in an effort to promote a professional image around your clients.
Pick up an inexpensive order or caps and hats and you'll have one more way to ingrain yourself into customers' and suppliers memories. Promotional apparel is meant to have the dual purpose of promoting your company while also giving recipients a functional gift they can use every day. This is no truer in any promotional item than it is with promotional caps and hats, which in many industries can be worn on the job day in and day out to promote your company by both your employees and others.
Cheap Marketing You Can Wear
Caps promoting your company are quite simply cheap advertising you can wear. Choosing a promotional product line that's so functional and yet so inexpensive at the same time can give you the opportunity to place a larger volume order than you might be able to do with a more expensive promotional product. Caps and hats are inexpensive especially when you pay wholesale or near wholesale prices. Even adding embroidered logos does not put promotional caps and hats out of most businesses' price range. They are an excellent informal marketing tool because no one who receives them will feel as though they are under pressure to stump on behalf of your company, and yet they will be doing so whenever they put these hats on, if not in so many words.
Get your marketing message across in a unique and non threatening way by emblazoning it across a hat or a cap. Promotional caps and hats are popular among people across different industries because they are free, for one thing; but also because they give workers in different fields a chance to show their colors both inside and outside of work settings. Grab an order of some low cost, high quality caps to promote your business. Promotional caps and hats are an inexpensive way to get your marketing message across while also giving customers and important business contacts a small token of your thanks.

It happens every year. I buy way too much winter squash and about the time that everyone is switching over to gingerbread and eggnog, I'm still enjoying my pumpkin. There are worse problems to have, but this week I've been trying to use some of it up.
Right now I'm down to two pie pumpkins, two mini pumpkins, one butternut squash, one delicata squash and a golden acorn squash. I started with three golden acorn squashes, but two of them became this delicious soup.
It's simple to make and full of creamy, coconut flavor. It's one of those recipes that gets you ready for winter as you struggle to let go of a beautiful fall.
The recipe uses two squash. To prepare them, half them and remove the seeds. Rub them lightly with olive oil and place them cut side down on a baking sheet. Pierce the skin in a few places with a fork. Bake at 425 F for about 30 minutes or until tender. Let cool and scrape out the flesh to use in the soup.
Roasted Golden Acorn Squash and Coconut Soup
Serves: 4
1 tbsp virgin coconut oil
½ large onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
Flesh of 2 golden acorn squash, about 4 to 5 cups
½ tsp salt
¼ tsp ground clove
¼ tsp crushed red pepper
1 ½ cups vegetable stock
1 (13.5 oz) can coconut milk
Garnish options: toasted coconut, chopped pistachios, chopped cashews
Heat the oil in a soup pot over medium-high heat. Add the onion and garlic. Cook until tender, about 5 minutes.
Add the squash, salt, clove and red pepper. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes more.
Stir in the vegetable stock. Use an immersion blender to puree the soup, or transfer the soup to a blender and puree until smooth.
Once the soup is pureed, stir in the coconut milk and cook until heated through, 2 to 3 more minutes. Top with toasted coconut or nuts before serving, if desired.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) - Officials from the Big 12 and the Cowboys expect a record crowd of more than 80,000 people will attend the Final Four when it's played at AT&T Stadium near Dallas.
Commissioner Bob Bowlsby and Cowboys vice president Charlotte Anderson said at the Big 12's annual media day Tuesday that they anticipate breaking the mark for a national semifinal of 75,421 set during the 2011 Final Four in Houston.
The record for a championship game is 74,326, set during Louisville's 82-76 victory over Michigan on April 8 at the Georgia Dome in Atlanta. The previous record for a title game was 72,922, which was set when North Carolina played Michigan State on April 6, 2009 at Ford Field in Detroit.
This season's title game is scheduled for April 7, 2014.

HANOVER, NH - The University of New Hampshire gave up five goals for the second consecutive game, falling to Dartmouth College, 5-0 on Wednesday.
The loss was the third straight and fourth in the last five games for UNH, who dropped to 4-6-1. Dartmouth improved to 4-4. Dartmouth senior Melissa Roth scored a pair of goals for the Big Green, and added an assist in the win. Roth scored the game's first goal when she dribbled up the middle and bounced a shot off the post that trickled past Wildcat junior goalie Stephanie Springer (Solana Beach, Calif.).
Despite giving up five goals, Springer recorded a season high 12 saves. Freshman backup goalkeeper Kristen Ouellette (Weatogue, Conn.) saw her first action of the season, picking up a save in 12 minutes of relief action.
The Big Green outshot the Wildcats 19-3, scoring twice in the first half and three times in the second.
The Wildcats now return home for four straight. The 'Cats will look for their first conference win of the season against Maine on Oct. 9, at 1 p.m.

Atlanta rapper Gucci Mane, who was recently released from a Fulton County jail, can't seem to escape controversy.
Gucci has been working non-stop since his release from jail last Wednesday, shooting seven music videos in seven days. Violence erupted on the fourth day while shooting the video for "Anti Social", leaving two men severely injured. HipHopEnquirer.com photographer Dennis Byron snapped pictures and detailed the attack.
"A short time after 8:00pm while I was conducting an interview with R & B singer Mila, who is also featured on the 'Anti Social' single, I heard a thumping sound and when I turned around I saw these two males sprawled out on the street" said Bryon. "One of the men involved appeared to be unconscious as his body was motionless. The other male appeared to be incoherent when he was being questioned by passerby."
According to witnesses, the men were seen breaking into cars on the set of the video shoot.
"After the thieves were subdued, the authorities were contacted and paramedics were dispatched" stated Byron. According to the HipHopEnquirer, Gucci Mane & his affiliates were not involved in the fight. Check out pictures of the suspects laid out below:

Quick action by the NBA dealing with the racist comments made by the owner of the LA Clippers, that controversy has sparked a new conversation on race and prejudice in America. While there's been progress many still think we have a long way to go.
"The audio recording posted by TMZ is truly offensive and disturbing," said Adam Silver, NBA commissioner, on Tuesday April 29, 2014.
Whats more shocking is who the comments came from, the Los Angeles Clipper's owner Donald Sterling. A recorded conversation with his girlfriend was released. Tuesday, Silver announced Sterling would be banned for life.
"What player or employee wants to work for a supervisor that can come out of the main floor and say I hate your person hood," said Rev. Dwight Ford.
Ford spends his time at the Martin Luther King Jr Community Center teaching youth about respecting others. He says he commends Silver on his actions.
"I think it's a bigger win not just for the NBA but society as a whole," said Ford.
He says the actions send a very clear message.
"It sets a standard very high . It allowed individuals to understand that if you're going to bring those understandings and percepts about others that they will not be welcomed here," said Ford.
Ford says the actions are a step in the right direction to fighting racism, but there's still more to be done.
"It is in no way, the end of a story, it's just the beginning. There's still a lot of work to do," said Ford.
The NBA commissioner's plan now is to force a sale of the team. He'll need the support of most of the league's owners to make that happen. Sterling stands to make hundreds of millions of dollars off that sale.

Call it a math lesson. Why would a school pay $80 for a textbook that may quickly become irrelevant, when it could pay around $5 or less?
A cadre of so-called open-education publishers is slowly beginning to gain the trust of schools and university systems by posing that question. Using free, open-source education materials, firms like CK-12 and Boundless are building digital textbooks and learning materials (mostly for math and science) that students and teachers can use and edit as they wish. While no single outfit yet dominates, the better such offerings get, the more traditional textbook giants like Pearson (PSO), Reed Elsevier (RUK), and Cengage ought to fear for their business models.
The U.S. spends more than $7 billion every year on K-12 textbooks, according to the FCC. And college textbook prices have increased by a whopping 812% since 1978, according to the American Enterprise Institute, surpassing inflation, college tuition increases -- even the much-discussed rise in medical expenses during that time period. College students report that they pay an average of $655 a year on books and supplies, according to a 2012 report from the National Association of College Stores.

When Conan O'Brien first got the job hosting Late Night, we probably could have gotten an interview with him by looking him up in the phone book. Over a decade later, he's become one of the most sought after TV comedians out there. Luckily, he's got a new project to hawk so we got to talk to him for that. He's producing a new comedy show for his former sidekick, Andy Richter. Andy Barker, P.I. has Richter as an accountant who takes mystery cases and somehow bungles his way into solving them. It sounds like a brilliant skit from Late Night, and we'll get to see it a half hour each week.
CraveOnline: How much PR will Andy Barker get on Late Night?
Conan O'Brien: It's hard to really do that because I think when I'm doing that show I have to be pretty honest with Late Night fans and I think it wouldn't be right to be constantly shilling this show. Even as a joke. So I try and keep that separate.
CraveOnline: How does it feel to be a mogul?
Conan O'Brien: Yeah, the money is just pouring in. It's very exciting. I really like this show a lot. It's a dream to get to work with Andy again, so that's the nice part and the fact that I've already made over $44 million on this show is just the bonus.
CraveOnline: Why did it take so long to reunite you two?
Conan O'Brien: Basically what happened is John Groff and I had been talking about this storyline without Andy in mind and we were talking for a while about it when we both had the same thought, which is, "We're talking about Andy Richter."
CraveOnline: Does this show have the same comedy style as Late Night?
Conan O'Brien: My approach to it is the same as it was when I was five years old, which is something feels funny, I do it, people laugh and I move on. This is the same situation really. It's hard for me to know, and the late night show is a creature that lives at 12:30 at night, so it probably develops and learns to adapt to that environment in some way. But at the end of the day, when I've taken what I do in late night and I go anywhere else and I do a guest appearance on a primetime show or I do the Emmys or something like that, I just try and think of what would be funny? What would be funny to do? And I don't try to overthink the "Well, that's kind of late night" or "Now I'm on at eight o'clock or nine o'clock and I'm hosting an awards show and I'm doing something with Bob Newhart." It's just what would be funny to do? And I think funny is funny. My hope is that people will just relate to, "Oh, this is a funny show with really superb actors."
CraveOnline: Will you create a non-Conan O'Brien role on the show?
Conan O'Brien: Yeah, play something horrible? Yeah, I think we found my role in show business which is I like I'm such a cartoon character, I'm so myself to people, when people stop me on the street, you can tell they just really want to talk to that guy they see on television and I am that guy so it works out. I think if ever I had the opportunity, if Martin Scorsese called me and said, "I want you to play a drug addicted member of a westie Irish gang who lives on
CraveOnline: A while ago, Late Night did some parodies of detective shows. Did this come from there?
Conan O'Brien: No. Those were some of my favorite things we ever did. We'd start our show by saying, "Last night on Conan O'Brien." Then we would shoot Quinn Martin-style things where I was in bed with a woman saying, "I love you my dear, but you must die." And then we'd cut to Andy. It was a Dynasty thing. You'd cut to Andy on a boat strangling someone to death. They were absurd. They were extremely expensive. They took months to shoot, they were exhausting to shoot and we'd get like 20 seconds. Those are things I'd do when I was 30 and we didn't know any better. We were doing an hour a night. It didn't look to many people like I'd be doing it for very long. And we would put this massive amount of work and get these things that cost like $30,000 that would last for 30 seconds. Then we'd show it and I'd interview Tony Danza.
CraveOnline: But you still like to spoof things?
Conan O'Brien: Obviously, a show like this is not going to work if it's a sketch. Why I believe this show works is because the actors are terrific actors. Andy is a comedic actor but he's not doing this like a sketch. We didn't want this show to be a wink and a nod. It needed to work for you to really believe that Andy's character lives. It's something I learned from The Simpsons a long time ago. I used to come in with my wise-ass ideas and I would say, "I've got this really crazy, weird idea where Homer goes to Mars." I was getting too much into the conceptual comedy of it. I learned from people like Jim Brooks that if people don't believe in the family unit, none of the other stuff works. You have nothing. So I do believe that the reason this show ultimately is going to work is because people are going to watch it and really like these actors and believe in these characters.
CraveOnline: What was your first job in showbiz?
Conan O'Brien: My first job in show business was I was, this is a true story, I was a bodyguard for a Michael Jackson look alike in a 1985 4th of July parade.
CraveOnline: Have you thought about taking over the Tonight Show yet?
Conan O'Brien: It's still a ways off. I really haven't. One of the things that naturally keeps you from thinking about that too much is that I have five hours a week of television to do right now so I just think about that and I feel like when the time comes to do that, I'll shift focus. But it's not really possible right now. If I didn't have the Late Night job right now, I'd be sitting in a motel room in my underwear somewhere just obsessing about The Tonight Show but thank God I have a job. I have a lot to worry about now and I have two kids, so there's no time.
CraveOnline: Would you move to LA to continue it in Leno's studio?
Conan O'Brien: No one's talked to me and it's not where I'd bring it. I think it's contractually NBC's decision. Nobody's said anything to me and like I say, there's an old Irish saying, "Don't try and buy trouble." Right now I'm not asking a lot of questions about it. I'm just worrying about the present. No one's said to me definitively where we're doing it. I'm still pushing for
CraveOnline: Are you sorry there's no controversy about this late night turnover?
Conan O'Brien: There's still plenty of time.
CraveOnline: Will you have anything to do with The Simpsons movie?
Conan O'Brien: No, I still talk to those guys. I'm friends with a lot of those guys and they've told me they're excited about it and they say it's funny but no. I still meet fans all the time that say, "Hey, do you still write stuff for The Simpsons?" And I think, "When would that happen?" That was a full time job.
CraveOnline: Do you ever run out of material for the show?
Conan O'Brien: Yeah. Yes, we do. Every now and then, I'm out there winging it. And then you come up with something. We'll completely have no material sometimes, we feel like we're running out and that's when we accidentally stumble on. It's the stuff you stumble on that's the best. We stumbled onto the penguin phenomenon. The horny manatee which now has something like 22 million hits, we stumbled on it. That was a complete accident. We couldn't have thought of that. Those are the best things and you just find them. You find what your next thing is.
CraveOnline: You mentioned having more energy when you were younger, how do you keep in shape now?
Conan O'Brien: That's assuming I'm in shape. That's a big assumption. One thing is, going out every night in front of people and performing, you want to be, and also I like physical comedy. I like to jump up on the desk, I like to tackle people, I like to jump through windows. I always thought that's an incentive to at least try and keep the weight off. Tracy Morgan was on the show and I ended up jumping up on my desk or doing a dance with him and doing pushups, and on my show I like to be prepared to do almost anything. I'm not in like great aerobic shape or anything but I've always wanted to, I have a kid-like personality so I've always wanted to be able to, at least if I have a kid-like idea, I want to be able to act like a kid and do it. I don't want to be like, "Well, that'd be funny but my lower back is killing me."
CraveOnline: So what do you do?
Conan O'Brien: I go about three times a week and I ride my bike a lot. The thing I like to do the most is just go into
CraveOnline: What's the silliest injury you've ever sustained?
Conan O'Brien: Wow, that's a really good one. I fell in the driveway when I was four years old and killed my two front teeth and they turned gray. I looked like a circus act for about six years growing up. I mean, I really was hideous. I had two completely dead gray front teeth. Then I got them fixed and the rest is history.
CraveOnline: Are there any guests you're still gunning for?
Conan O'Brien: Yeah, there's people that I haven't interviewed yet but as time goes on, it's a smaller and smaller number because eventually most people have come by the show, so it's harder and harder to think of who hasn't. Who haven't I talked to? But there are still people out there that for one reason or another, like Dick Van Dyke is someone I grew up, I always really loved Dick Van Dyke. For one reason or another he's never been to
CraveOnline: Not even when he had a movie to promote?
Conan O'Brien: No one's ever come in and pitched me Dick Van Dyke. They wouldn't even have to pitch me Dick Van Dyke but I'd love to talk to him.
CraveOnline: Do you make your kids laugh?
Conan O'Brien: Yeah, they're pretty young. They like to laugh.
CraveOnline: How is fatherhood for Conan?
Conan O'Brien: Anyone here with kids can tell you, suddenly everything you did before in your life, that you worried about before you had kids seems pretty silly. So now I don't even remember. I think about my life when I was single or didn't have kids and I think, "What was that all about? What was I complaining about then?" You sleep 'til 10 in the morning. You watch a movie uninterrupted. You eat food and no one throws it at you. These are great things. But obviously it's the best thing that ever happened to me and it's exciting. Ask anyone here, it will do a number on your life.
CraveOnline: Would you do the Emmys again?
Conan O'Brien: You know, it's a lot of work and I've done it twice and I had a good experience both times and it meant a lot to me, but you get to a point where you think it's so much work plus my show that I wouldn't do it right away. That's for sure. And also, it's probably good that different people take a shot at it. It is the most professionally satisfying moments that I've had in television and especially this last one, I really love it.

Team reviews
Kelly and Cornelius are both wonderful agents--very diligent, very responsive, and all around pleasant to deal with. Highly recommended across the board. Worked with me and the seller to make the transaction a successful one.
We have bought two houses with Kelly and Con and sold one. From both sides of the table, we could not have asked for better representation. Kelly and Con are patient and helpful -- and, most importantly, honest -- during your housing search, no matter how long it takes to find the one to call home. Once you decide to place a bid, you have no better advocates in negotiating a contract, going through the inspection and working with other agents. They are incredibly knowledgeable about the processes of buying and selling and are on top of details that you didn't know you needed to worry about. Not only were we very satisfied with their service but so were other people we recommended them to. We can't imagine trusting anyone else with real estate decisions.
Adrienne and Eric Lewin
Con did a great job in coordinating the search while my spouse had not yet joined me. Showed us houses that were appropriate for our needs and budget, explained pros and cons of houses and areas. Was organzied and kept me informed of what was going on with negeotiations, inspection, etc.
I was very please with him and would definitely use him again if we were to buy or sell. Also a nice guy to deal with.
Working with Kelly and Con was a wonderful experience. They we awesome in helping sell my Mom's home in West Orange that was a real challenge. They handled everything and made what could of been a bad experience an enjoyable one. I would highly recommend them to anyone selling or buying a home.
I would highly recommend Kelly & Con for all of your real estate needs. They were very helpful in selling my house and helping me find the perfect new home for my family! Kelly & Con are very knowledgeable with respect to many neighborhoods and different areas of NJ and will provide feedback and guidance every step of the way. They are both subject matter experts, highly engaged in the selling/buying process, with complete focus on the needs of their clients. Together they truly do make the perfect real estate team!!
Kelly and Con were terrific. I honestly can't imagine going through such a stressful process without them. They were there from the beginning of our journey to the end.It was a pleasure working with both of them. Their professionalism was demonstrated immediately from the beginning of the process of selling my existing home and continued while buying my new house. Both equally possess excellent negotiation skills and were always there for prompt responses to my inquiries or concerns.
We would highly recommend the Hartnetts for your real estate needs. Prior to working with them we had several other agents that just tried to sell us. Kelly and Con were very patient with us and were truly out for our best interest. In the end they helped us find the home that was just right for us and we couldn't be happier. They are terrific to work with.
Top notch reality team that works hand and hand for the best interests of their client. When I was unable to complete certain tasks, they assisted with said tasks to ensure my home closing was completed without any issues. They were always ontime as proposed, and always execeeded expectations and all they did in helping me to sell my home in an expeditious manner. A+ service.
Working with Kelly and Con was a wonderful experience and a great decision. We looked at homes in Essex, Union and Morris counties - Kelly and Con knew a great deal about the areas we looked and gave us good advice. They really listened to the factors that were important to my husband and me and went out of their way to find listings that met our needs. Kelly and Con were easy to reach by text message, phone call or email. They were incredibly professional and made selling our condo and purchasing our home much less stressful than it could have been. I would absolutely recommend using Kelly and Con to sell or purchase a home.

Comparing the HTC Desire 816 to the HTC One Max
HTC has been busy so far this year, with the release of the flagship One M8 proving a rather large success. One phone that has slipped under the radar is the HTC Desire 816, a mid-range smartphone boasting a 5.5" display, putting it right on the smartphone/phablet border. What does this mean for the HTC One Max, the last phablet released by HTC? Will the Desire 816 take its mantle? Or can the two handsets live together in harmony?
HTC Specs on Paper
The Desire 816 is set for release any day now, more than five months after the release of the HTC One Max, but the specs aren't as clear cut as you'd think. The Desire features a smaller display than the Max, which is a self-proclaimed phablet, with a 5.5" HD display compared to the 5.9" full HD display of the One Max.
Internal storage and RAM is also slightly smaller, with 8GB of built-in space and 1.5GB RAM being slightly lower than the Max's 16/32GB storage and 2GB RAM. But whilst this may sound like bad news for the Desire 816, it remedies this by featuring a MicroSD card slot capable of expanding its memory by 128GB, more than enough for your average music library, movie collection and photo album.
The Max also features a memory card slot, but only up to 64GB, making storage space slightly less fruitful compared to the Desire. So while the Max boasts a slight edge over the Desire under the hood, with a marginally faster processor and CPU, this difference is pretty much impossible to spot when running the phones side by side.
HTC camera comparison
If there's one area that HTC didn't need to massively improve upon, it's the camera.
HTC has offered its UltraPixel technology in the HTC One Max, which increases the size of each pixel to let in more light and improve the overall quality of the shot.
But the Desire 816 goes in a different direction, conforming with the majority of other manufacturers by packing in as many pixels as possible into the handset. On paper, this makes the Desire a more attractive handset, sporting a 13 megapixel snapper over the Max's 4 megapixel effort, but in reality, both cameras are pretty much head and head when it comes to a camera comparison.
Prefer the original? Check out our range of HTC One Max contracts.
On the front side of the phone is where it all changes, however, with the Desire outclassing the Max with an impressive 5 megapixel front facing lens.
This stands head and shoulders above the 2.1 megapixel selfie snapper on the Max, making the Desire a better handset if you take a lot of selfies and make plenty of video calls.
Desire 816 vs HTC One Max Design
HTC has opted for a radically different design with the Desire 816, verging away from the premium metal design we saw on the HTC One Max and recently release HTC One M8.
The Desire 816 actually resembles the iPhone 5c more than any of its HTC brothers and sisters, with a colourful, plastic design instead.
Whilst it might not be as fancy as the One Max in terms of its material, the Desire 816 more than makes up for it through pure style.
Available in white, black, blue, orange, grey and green, you really are spoilt for choice in terms of options.
The build quality is still top drawer as well, and the handset is as durable as ever, making it a really fabulous looking smartphone from every angle.
The HTC One Max will set you back around £400 sim-free if you were to buy it today, whereas pre-orders for the Desire 816 can be found for £300. So with a saving of £100 between the two handsets, the Desire 816 is 25% less expensive than the HTC One Max. And while this difference in price is obviously down to the marginally weaker specs and smaller display, these are hits we would be more than happy to take for savings of that standard.
Also, with its colourful and reliable design, the Desire 816 arguably looks better than the HTC One Max and also packs a better camera, all for a much cheaper price.
Which handset do you prefer in our Desire 816 vs One Max roundup? Place trust in e2save to serve you the freshest phone releases from HTC.

Who knew Crown Casino would be hiding such an excellent bar?
The Waiting Room offers some of the best cocktails in the city. That's a fact. Their booze collection holds its own against any other, their glassware is a twinkling mass of vintage crystal cut coupettes and they're sporting chef Neil Perry's arsenal of snacks. Sure, it's in the casino, but don't let that hold you back. Once immersed in this richly carpeted room of plush banquettes, with heavy velvet drapes, silver tile mosaics and marble tables all picked out in soft pools of candlelight, you could be anywhere. Open from noon, you can take your mum for a proper afternoon tea of sliders, fancies and a lethal Hendrick's punch, or slide in past bedtime for a gimlet and Perry's Mexican-style finger-food fun. There's a fresh and feisty kingfish ceviche, deep-fried pucks of manchego and jamon and quite the hot dog, with a super-soft bun, squiggles of mustard and tomato sauce as well as a jumble of raw-and-fried onion. Pair it with their fiery margarita, where smoky chipotle infused tequila knocks knees with lime and agave syrup. Or how about a Red Snapper? Beetroot, tomato juice, gin and plenty of hot sauce is garnished with salt and a celery stick. It's practically a health drink. Even if the jingle-jangle of the slot machine sets your teeth on edge, get over it purely for this great bar.
High Tea:
High tea is actually only meant to start at 5pm. Before that hour, it should be called afternoon tea. At the Waiting Room, they are returning to this tradition, serving what was always meant to be a fairly substantial and meaty snack.
Finger sandwiches, 'sweet things' and the usual suspects all make an appearance, but you also get some mini dogs and sliders, and Hendricks gin punch thrown into the mix.
