Mog: A New Direction
"Come, Mog, you must feel something for me. I have made you immortal."
"No!" I cried. "All I feel is disgust! How can you live with yourself? It may be impossible for you to change the fact that you have powers beyond human understanding but to love another man?! It is unacceptable and wrong."
The boy looked pleading - you could not call him a man, really: scruffy brown hair, wide and vulnerable brown eyes, and those boyish features on his face - you would not think him older than 16. For what was he pleading? My love. Me another man and he wanted my love. I think I had given him enough by telling no one of his secret. But no, he had to use his other secret - his supernatural powers - to try to make me admire him. It was a gross perversion of Nature that he, this 'warlock' as he named himself, should be in love with me, a middle class and somewhat respected gentleman.
"Morgan, could you truly break my heart?"
"Yes," I said with certainty. "It is the only way for you to be saved from yourself."
"Come, now, you do not believe that - you cannot believe that."
"I do," I said stubbornly. "I do and I ever shall."
"I will not cease trying," the boy warned.
"That shall not sway me either."
"You are so cold," he said, almost wonderingly.
"No. If anything I am kind for doing this to you."
"No one is kind for doing this to anyone," he declared.
I rolled my eyes and walked away.
"You will see how I loved you one day. You will remember this day - remember me - and wish you had been kinder. No one will ever love you like this again, Mog."
I ignored him and continued walking.
"I'm a blessing in your life!" the boy shouted.
'Disgusting creature,' I thought.
I woke up annoyed. It was enough being immortal without having to suffer a recurring nightmare of the one who had brought it about. I looked across the room at the packed trunk and remembered my resolution to 'get away' as they had come to say. I took a shower before dressing in a black blazer, white shirt, black trousers, green tie and grey socks. I regarded myself in the mirror. My hair was scruffy from sleeping restlessly and I combed it into a somewhat more presentable style.
'I should have it cut soon,' I thought, smiling wryly at the reaction its current length would have produced in my mother and older sister. Even when it had looked neat they had said he reminded them of a crow, dark and sinister, watching from the shadows... Bronty would have made a good poet. And she would love women's liberty today. Well, perhaps not some forms of their display of their liberty...
I breakfasted upon a bowl of cereal before collecting my trunk and briefcase. I checked that there was a packet of mints, a couple of pens and my wallet in my pockets, a book of crossword puzzles in my briefcase and a watch about my wrist; I verified that all the windows were locked, lights and switches on plug sockets were turned off and that everything valuable was hidden away, and left the apartment.
I was the only one at the bus stop that morning. I suppose I looked rather like a businessman (except for the trunk) in my odd style of dress, but these were the days where you could do anything you liked - including be homosexual as was the term now given to people like Russell, the warlock who had made me immortal. I waited patiently, ignoring all sighs and sounds around me, instead focusing on my dream of a new life which hopefully excluded the nightmares. The bus trundled into sight and stopped before me. I boarded, paying my extortionate fare of £1.60, and sat in the right-hand corner of the back seat, at the other side of which sat a young lady with slightly tanned skin, short black hair that my mother would have screamed at on a girl, and black eye-liner which gave her eyes something of a cat-like quality.
"Hi," she called to me.
"Hi," I said, nodding and pulling my crossword book from my briefcase.
"Going anywhere interesting?" she asked, nodding to the trunk at my feet.
"Somewhere far away," I said vaguely, a hint of annoyance entering my tone at being kept from my crossword.
The woman noticed and, looking slightly put out, looked out of her window, not saying another word to me.
Silence.Good. I opened the crossword book and proceeded to work through the last one I had made a start on.
'Let's hope no one comes to sit next to me,' I thought to myself.

London has always been a patchwork city of disparate neighborhoods and social distinctions, defying easy categorization. And so it has been with its response to Sept. 11 and the subsequent American strikes on Afghanistan.
On the streets, hundreds of extra police in bright yellow slickers have taken up position at sites from Buckingham Palace to the Houses of Parliament. That might, to some, suggest a nation at war, but the police insist their message is one of reassurance: despite Britain's status as America's leading ally against terrorism -- and thus a potential target for reprisal -- it's business as usual.
That's not altogether true, and the response has been fractured. Anyone imagining that tables would be easier to find at top restaurants like the Ivy or Caprice will be disappointed: the waiting lists are still measured in months, and there's no talk of discounted menus. Equally, at the London Eye -- the slow-motion Ferris wheel overlooking the Thames -- the lines are as solid as ever. But talk to the guards at the Tower of London -- usually a hot ticket on the visitor circuit -- and they'll say that numbers are down.
The same uneven picture emerges from the theater district. At many plays, the lines for tickets are as long as ever. But a number of shows have closed. ''Peggy Sue Got Married'' is ending its run early at the Shaftesbury Theater, and its backers blame recent poor box office returns. The biggest worry for the West End is not Britons, however, but Americans.
Airlines like British Airways say passenger numbers on the North Atlantic route are way down. ''If Americans aren't going to come,'' said Emma de Souza of the Society of London Theaters, which represents the theater trade, ''that's going to have a big effect on our market.'' The United States is Britain's biggest single source of visitors, and the drop in American tourists has alarmed everyone from hoteliers to cab drivers.
Museums, too, report anomalies. Galleries popular with young people, such as the Tate Modern, are still thronged. Galleries with exhibits favored by an older audience, such as the Royal Academy or Somerset House, are not drawing crowds to the same extent.
There are indications of an underlying unease. London is no stranger to terrorism on the lesser scale of I.R.A. bombings, but the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon were on a more horrifying scale altogether. The fear of similar mayhem here, especially since the attacks on Afghanistan, has brought armed police to airport check-in areas and vehicle searches and roadblocks on the approaches to London's financial district and the glittery high-rises of Canary Wharf.Continue reading the main story
Nonetheless, looking at the crowds thronging Leicester Square and other popular areas, it's clear that, however nervous their parents may be, young people are determined to brazen out a conflict that, initially at least, seemed so distant.Continue reading the main story

Matt was very helpful in accomodating our group, and located nearby for any immediate assistance. The apartment was well equipped, very roomy and comfortable with magnificent views of the Hanover Quay area, and a short walk or cab ride to any place of interest in the city centre. We enjoyed our stay and would certainly return.
On arrival we were straight-away thrilled with this penthouse. The location was excellent, the facilities and little extras provided were just right, and the overall comfortable ambiance made our week's stay just perfect!
Thank you Mark and Matt, we'd love to stay here again.
The flat was a bit difficult to find initially. Mark meet us at another location and literally walked us through the secured car park. Inside the car park was an elevator to the apartment complex. A. quick ride up the elevator to the penthouse and we landed on our private floor. Awesome layout with floor to ceilings windows throughout. Very large and spacious three bedroom apartment with all the amenities you could possibly want. My only regret is we were only in the penthouse one night before flying home. Would absolutely recommend.
Very comfortable apartment. Great location to Dublin sites. A bit tricky to get in and out of unit. Owner very responsive to requests.
We just left this gorgeous apartment. Our extended family of 9 stayed here for 2 nights (we wish we had booked many more nights) and loved it! It is in a fantastic location surrounded by lovely restaurants and convenient little grocery stores. It is just a short walk to St. Stephens Green, Book of Kells, and Grafton Street. The apartment is exactly as it is pictured here - very clean, huge rooms, gorgeous views, massive windows, and very well equipped. The three balconies are lovely and all have furniture to sit and enjoy the views of the surrounding buildings. Mark and Matt were a pleasure to deal with - Mark answered all questions quickly before arrival and Matt met us at the apartment upon arrival. The elevator to the 3rd floor was very convenient for our luggage and the building itself was completely secure with security codes to access each door. We will definitely stay here again if we return to Dublin. Infinitely better than staying at a hotel.
Arriving at our Dublin penthouse was such a nice surprise! We were a little tired and looking forward to just relaxing before rejoining the streets of
Dublin. Our spacious three bedroom, three bath apartment was exactly what we needed! A beautiful spacious living room/dining room full of windows and vistas presented us with a calm excitement. I knew we would have nothing to worry about.
The kitchen was well furnished with all we needed- not that we wanted to cook particularly but it was nice to have tea in the mornings and hors d'ourves in the evenings. Lots of outdoor seating encouraged us to cool off overlooking the skyline of Dublin.
WiFi, TV...everything worked very well. Beds and linens were fine and we have lots of towels for our use.
I would certainly stay in this area again as it is easy walking to many of the sites of Dublin, but more importantly, this relaxing penthouse met all our needs!
We were met by Matt who assisted upon arrival and also saw to our departure. It was seamless and that's perfect for us!

|Tipo de imóvel
|Estadia Mínima
|7 noites
Esta é uma casa de Pratt original foi construído em 1866 pelo famoso arquiteto Pratt para quem o Pratt Institute, em Nova York foi nomeado. Ele está localizado no bairro histórico em frente a um grande parque no qual beisebol, prática do golfe, kitesurf, passeios de bicicleta, piqueniques e até mesmo, em pelo menos uma ocasião, passeios a cavalo foi praticado. A casa tem vista para o mar, que inclui e está apenas a poucos passos da famosa Praia Inkwell. Em um dia claro, como a maioria neste local, você pode ver a partir da varanda grande, as praias ao longo da costa todo o caminho para Edgartown. É também a uma curta 3 quadras a pé para a cidade e as suas muitas lojas, concertos da família, restaurantes, festivais, galerias de arte, lojas de antiguidades, o carrossel, da arcada, bem como para o ferry Oak Bluffs. É uma caminhada mais curta para as quadras de basquete e tênis.
Beautiful Location. Great stay. Highly recommended.
The Pratt House is well maintained and displays the original character of the house with modern amenities. The location can't be beat because of the close proximity to the inkwell and Circuit avenue. Two things stand out that verify this is the right house to rent: 1) We did less driving than usual and 2) the kids never wanted to watch TV because of the great family discussion in the dining room and kitchen! The customer service was also outstanding. I highly recommend this house.
Great house with its original character and history. The upgrades in the kitchen along with each room ceiling fan, great furniture, cleanliness and terrific private outdoor shower made this house very comfortable. I think everyone in our group looked forward to that shower everyday. The kids fought for position in line even thought there were two other bathrooms! We enjoyed the back yard cooking on the grill and eating outside. We spent every night on the large front porch where there was a beautiful ocean breeze. We couldn't of asked for a better location since we had six to eight 12-17 year olds with us who walked to town every night and played football, Frisbee and corn hole across the street in the large park/field. The adults enjoyed the convenience of being able to walk to everything. The location allowed you to be close enough to walk but yet allowed just enough distance to bring quiet and peacefulness when returning to the house.
Greg the owner was pleasant to work with and made sure our stay was carefree and comfortable. I would highly recommend this house for your next vacation! We hope to visit again.
I stayed at Greg's house with several family members (adults and children) this past summer for two weeks. It is a nicely maintained older Victorian cottage. It is as bright and airy as the pictures. Inside there are comfortable living spaces and ample sized bedrooms. Cable and wifi were included.The kitchen is very functional, with newer appliances. There is an outdoor shower which we used after the beach, but also as backup to the two indoor bathrooms.
We barbecued in the back yard a few times and it was convenient to have this option. There is an inviting wraparound porch with a wonderful view of the water, ideal for relaxing on a warm day.
We found the location great for our needs. The Inkwell beach is right across the street. The house is walking distance (about 5 minutes) from Oak Bluffs ferry, in-town Oak Bluffs (10 minutes) , and tennis and basketball courts (5 minutes) , all of which we took advantage of. There is also a large park right across from the house.
Greg was pleasant to deal with, and left us a little welcoming gift. We would definitely rent here again.
We rented this beautiful house for our favorite August week in the vineyard. We have stayed several places in Oak Bluffs, and wanted a place that was "beachy"--clean with character, required minimal driving for most things and was close to the water. This house met all the criteria. Greg, the owner was great and very responsive during the entire process. The house was exactly what I envisioned for a relaxing beach vacation! It is a beautiful older house, but has upgrades in the bathrooms and kitchen. The kitchen was well stocked with not only dishware, but spices, cooking tools and paper products. The decor is delightful and tasteful. We had 3 couples and 3 children aged 4-14. The house is set up in a way that was comfortable for everyone. The bedrooms were large and airy, one with a lovely balcony from I drank my coffee and watched the Polar Bear Club in the mornings! We walked to town daily and the beach was across the street. When events occurred in the evenings- Illumination Night, fireworks on the beach- we only had to walk out the door and we were there. I could go on about the house.... we loved it. And Greg was a delight to work with. We spoke several times prior to arriving. On our way up, on a Sunday, Greg called to alert me to a problem with the water heater. The next day while we were at the beach, he had someone come and replace the entire thing. He made sure we were not inconvenienced in any way.
We will definitely stay here on our returns. It was a true pleasure.
We loved staying at this beautiful home. It was right across from an open park where our kids could walk over and play ball, fly kits and run around. Another amazing feature that we enjoyed was the large front porch where we enjoyed watching the ocean, relaxing, reading and watching the children playing in the park right out front. We liked that we could easily walk to the Inkwell beach, come back and enjoy the awesome outdoor shower. We could also walk to Oak Bluffs center in minutes and ride our bikes to almost anywhere on the island. We have been blessed with the opportunity to stay on Martha's Vineyard many times. The location of this house was by far the best one that we have ever stayed.

text: Philip Guston (American, 1913–1980) was an important painter in the New York School of Abstract Expressionism, influential for his playful integration of abstract elements into figurative scenes. Born Philip Goldstein in Montreal, Canada, Guston's family moved to Los Angeles when he was a child. As a teenager, Guston became fascinated with art and attended the Los Angeles Manual Arts High School, with his fellow future-artist, Jackson Pollock (American, 1912–1956). Guston then enrolled at the Otis Art Institute for several months in the 1930s before becoming active with the mural movement, and Mexican artists such as José Clemente Orozco (1883–1949) and Diego Rivera (1886–1957). In 1935 he moved to New York, where he joined a growing number of artists that worked for the Works Progress Administration's Federal Arts Projects. Combining Renaissance architectural platforms with a Cubist treatment of space, Guston developed his unique style in the 1940s, leading to a Guggenheim Fellowship in 1947. He continued to work and teach at New York University and the Pratt Institute throughout his later artistic career. His style radically changed in the late 1960s, however, as his work incorporated more symbols and he rendered landscapes and still life scenes in a flattened, cartoonish style. Throughout these later works, abstracted motifs, such as hooded heads and shoe soles, recur, reflecting the personal iconography Guston developed in his mature works.

London CallingMature
It was difficult finding an excuse to go up to London. Until last year my parents wouldn't even let me catch the bus by myself. So it was with a thumping heart that I entered the living room where my parents were seated.
"All right love?" asked Mum, making room for me on the sofa.
"Erm….yeah," I said. I felt like a prisoner about to be interrogated.
"What's the matter?" Dad asked.
Alex and I had talked about this in advance.
"Steph's cousins were going up to London for a couple of free shows at the end of June, after our exams but they've found they can't go because they're going away on holiday." It had been the best excuse we could come up with. We'd also agreed that Freddie would tell his folks it was my parents, Alex would tell his it was Freddie's, and Steph would tell hers it was Alex's. "They've given her the tickets and she's asked if Freddo, Alex and I can go with her." There. It was out on the table.
"They were going to stay up in London?" queried Mum.
I nodded. "For a few days."
Mum looked at Dad. "I don't see why they shouldn't," she said, and my heart leaped. "You could sleep in Georgia's flat; I know she and Bill are away in America." Georgia's 21 and got married last year.
"You lot are nearly gown up, I think it'll work out. We can trust you not to sleep with each other," said Dad, who clearly wasn't concentrating very hard.
Astonished at how easy it had been, I jumped up and kissed both of them on the cheek. "You're the best!" I yelled behind me as I rushed to phone Alex.
"We're go," I said, and told him about my sister's flat. "If all else fails and he does turn out to be a psycho, we can camp out there."
"Robs, you're amazing! In fact you're entire family is amazing!"
"I know, aren't we great?"
He laughed. "And really modest about it too. Don't worry, I'll tell Fred and Steph."
"Cheers mate." I put the phone down. For some reason, knowing Alex thought I was amazing made my entire day.
* * *
We went to London with our hearts in our mouths. This was where we started from. Four teenagers stepping out of Paddington Station. The casual observer would make all the wrong assumptions. Outwardly we seemed calm and happy, a bunch of friends celebrating the end of our GCSEs.
Inwardly, the adrenaline was pumping so fast that I could hardly stand for my stomach tying itself in knots.
"Did he say where they would meet us?" I asked as we came out of the station into the muted light of a cloudy day in June.
Alex was about to answer when Steph indicated a man standing in the shadows. As we turned to him, he beckoned. It was clearly the guy who'd sent the note.
His features were indistinct in the shadows of the alleyway he was standing in, but I could see he had dark hair, a broken nose and shifty, hunted eyes. There was something familiar about him, though I couldn't quite pinpoint what.
On spotting us, he withdrew further into the shadows and beckoned to us.
"He must be our guy," I muttered. Steph was already starting across towards him.
I looked after her. Steph seemed to have been more affected by this than the rest of us. I wondered why.
"You the four?" the strange man whispered huskily as we reached him.
I nodded. "How do you know about us?"
He glanced around. "Not safe here. Come with me." He turned and hurried down the alleyway. Apprehensively the four of us followed him.
As the shadows fell over us a feeling of menace settled on me. The buildings on either side of us seemed to loom oppressively and the breeze blowing down the alley was chilly.
The feeling someone was watching me grew even stronger and, paranoid creature that I am, I glanced back to see a second man turn into the alley and begin following us. This one had ash-blond hair and a slightly squashed appearance, as though he'd run into a wall. Hard. Intuition told me it was not a harmless tramp.
I tapped Alex on the arm and pointed over my shoulder. "Trap," I whispered.
He swore quietly.
The first man stopped about halfway down the alley and turned to us.
Pushing my way to the front, I confronted the stranger. He was still hidden in the shadows, but I could see the steel glint of his eyes.
"What's this all about?" The bravado of my words was marred by the tremble in my voice. It was obvious what was happening.
"No need to worry, sweetheart." His voice had gone from being a hoarse whisper to being sickly sweet, falsely reassuring.
Steph, who was as pale as a sheet, began to back up. We followed her, before I remembered the man at our backs.
I whipped around. "Steph, no!"
Too late. The second man lunged forward and wrapped his arms around her, securing her in an iron grip. She struggled, screamed, but he held fast. I turned around and started making for the other end of the alleyway. The first man made a grab for me, but I don't go to self-defence classes for nothing. I punched him hard in the nose and he relinquished his hold on me, slipping on a manhole cover and collapsing against an alley wall, clutching his face. And suddenly I knew what was familiar about him. About both of them. They had both been with Rabman that day in the woods three years previously.
"Move!" I yelled, grabbing somebody's hand and racing for the daylight at the other end. I turned back to see one of the men forcing a gag onto Steph's mouth.
"Run, guys, run!" she screamed. A scream that cut off abruptly as the second man succeeded in gagging her.
"Steph!" shouted Freddie. He made to run back for her. I grabbed his arm.
"We can't just leave her!" he cried, trying to wrench himself free.
"How will you save her if you get captured yourself?" asked Alex quietly.
Reluctantly, Freddie sagged. Alex and I hauled him away. We ran down the street. Away from the alley.
Away from Steph.
Bill and Georgia own an apartment fairly close to the Thames and the London Eye. It's a bit of a walk, but we managed it, I'm not too sure how. The minutes that followed Steph's capture were too much of a blur. A blur of confusion and colour and sound. All I knew was that it was sunset by the time we finally stumbled through the door.
The apartment itself isn't that large, but it's comfortable. Two bedrooms, a sitting room, a balcony, a bathroom and a kitchen, and that's about it. I've stayed in it before, but never under such circumstances.
The only thing Freddie would do was slump on the sofa with an expression of despair. I expect we all looked more or less the same. "They've got Steph," he kept muttering as though he couldn't quite believe it, couldn't accept it. I couldn't sit, but paced, through the sitting room into the kitchen and back again. The vision of Steph's terrified eyes and the callousness of her kidnappers swirled around inside my head, making it impossible for me to think straight. I knew we had to work out a plan, a way to save her, but I couldn't think of one in my current state of distress.
Alex was the only one with a level head.
"Tea," he said firmly, searching through the cupboards until he found the teabags.
I turned to look at him.
"Tea? Is that it? Just sit around drinking tea while Steph's being held by those animals? Like we're having a bloody picnic?" I hissed.
Alex held his hands up in the well known 'Whoa Nelly' gesture. "Cool it Robs. The tannin and caffeine should clear your head a bit."
Well, that made some sense.
"I don't care," Freddie muttered from the sofa. "I wish we'd never come."
"We all wish that," said Alex quietly. "I was an idiot. I should have realised it was a trap and listened to you, Robs."
"Steph still would have come," I said, accepting a cup of tea. "She was determined, and I don't think anything would have stopped her. You know her."
"She'd have found a positive. She always did," Alex added.
"Why are you talking about her as though she's dead?" Freddie demanded, looking up for the first time. "She's still alive and we're going to make sure she stays that way."
I nodded. "He's right. The problem is not that she's been captured, it's what we're going to do about it."
"I don't see that there's anything we can do. We don't even know where they took her, and even if we did, what good are we against them?" Alex sounded like he'd already given up.
There was a loud clatter as Freddie knocked over the lampshade. He had stood up, and there was a look of determination in his eyes that I had never seen there before.
"We are not," he said firmly, "Giving up. You shouldn't even be considering that option. She your friend, she our friend and we're not…"
I stood up, and pushed him back down. "What the fuck's got into you, Freddo? We're not giving up, nobody said we were." I kicked Alex as I spoke. He winced, but I ignored it. "If we start arguing now, nothing's gonna get done."
Freddie slumped once again, and dropped his head into his hands.
"I love her," he said, voice muffled. "Not just like a friend, but…you know what I mean."
"Yes, I do," I said quietly. "And we will rescue her if we can, but we need a starting point, and I'm not starting anything without a night's kip. Which we could all do with," I said firmly, seeing Freddie's look. "This is going to catch up with us very soon and we're going to be useless for the rest of the evening at least."
I could see Alex opening his mouth to start arguing, and then thought better of it. He just looked at me in a funny way.
"So what are we going to do now?" Freddie asked, still sounding impatient.
"I don't know about the rest of you, but I am going to put my head under a pillow somewhere, and swear myself to sleep. If any of you want to do the same, be my guest." I turned and stalked from the room.
The guest bedroom isn't that large, just a single bed and a chest of drawers, but it was plenty large enough for me. I could just see those sadistic bastards doing horrible things to her. My best friend. Virtually in hell.
I couldn't cry. The adrenaline was still pumping far too hard for that. But I saw Steph in my minds eye, lying bleeding on the ground, and I wanted to kill myself for having abandoned her.
"Bollocks. Bollocks bollocks bollocks bollocks." I did exactly what I said I was going to do. I stuck my head underneath a pillow and said every single swearword I knew in three languages, until I finally slid into unconsciousness.

Kulu Kulu Sushi (Shelton St)
I went there last night after reading the reviews on this site, I've been there once when they firstly opened and I liked it there. I was surprsed to read the last review and worried that it might have gone down hill since my last visit.
I am pleased to say that it wasn't the case. We went there at 7 on a Friday with a couple of friends. It was quiet when we walked it and not much sushi on the bar. After sitting in and getting our tea, there were more ppl and nearly fill the place in few minutes.
We could see more freshly made sushi were on the bar and they really tasted super. The price is reasonable and you know you can order whatever you like on the menu if those sushi you like are not on the bar for selecton.
My personal recommendation is soft shell crab handroll, you have to try it no matter what. You also can order some hot dishes and they are all v cheap. I mean comparing to Gili Gulu down the road in Covert Garden, I think Kulu Kulu does real and fresh sushi.
I will go there again for sure and I am missing my crab handroll already!

My sister had a birthday party at Pasha last night, it was beautifully set up and the food was great. I had to say that the serivce was the best I ever had, the waitress was very caring and attentive.
With a group of 17 people, the food was served on time and the waitress has given us 100% efford to ensure everything is ok. The atmosphere was lovely with the music and bellydancer. The music wasn't too loud that would stop you talking, it was just perfect.
Thanks for a great night.

Just had a quick coffee with couple of friends last night at Amato, the place was beautiful and the service was great. I've been there few times years ago but this time round it was so much better - thanks to the smoking ban!!
If you want to have a quiet coffee with friends, I will highly recommed this place to meet. The service was good and they are all very friendly.

Just came back from Fantozzi and disappointed with the service tonight. I am a regular there and familiar with the way they servce you... or ignore you.
The food is always good but the service is a really let down. We booked our table in advance and got our table very quickly. We've been asked 3 times if we want a drink. However, when we wanted to place our order, no body was around.. we had to really try hard to get their attention.
I appreicate that Fantozzi is a busy place but they should get more staff. Long wait for the food from starter to main course. We had to ask again 3 times for the bill and a little smile from the waitor would have won him the tips. Sorry, I don't think they deserved any.
Also, a real put off, there were 3 people's birthday tonight, they had to switch off the light and sang the birthday song 3 times during our dinner.. god.. can't they just go to TGI if they want a birthday song!!

London Jade Garden
Very disappointed. Just had a dinner in London Jade Garden last night, the service is the worst ever. If you want to eat 'Take Away' style chinese with slow service, London Jade Garden is your choice.
We went there around 9 last night, got a table next to the entry very quickly. After 2 minutes looking at the menu, a waitress stood there without a smile waiting for our order. We said we were not ready and needed a bit of time, she rolled her eyes and walked off. Thanks for that.
To be honest, we didn't really know what to order and asked for assistance. They didn't seem to bother and ended up having a set menu. We asked if we could replace the starter with something else, they said no and looked very annoyed.
The food was really below standard, worse than my local chinese take away. The vegetable was so greasy covering with oil. The prawn dish was coloured in red and I didn't want to know how they cooked that.
I think I liked the fried rice the most and the ribs if I had to choose. The atmosphere was just ok, small gaps between tables, I felt like the person next to me was too close to us.
Well, value for money? let's just not go there. I could have something much better for the money I paid. Will I go there again? Unless they pay me, otherwise, no!

My husband and I are big fans of Korean food, we've been to Arang few times and I have to say that it is one of the best Korean restaurants in London. To be honest, there aren't that many in town, but you can tell how good a restaurant is by how busy they are.
Unless you get there early before 7, you may be lucky enough to get a table. You will normally need to book in advance. Try weekday, it norally is quiet and you will get really good service.
We went to Arang last night with 2 friends and managed to book the table a day in advance. When we arrived, the restaurant was quiet as it was only 6.30. We had our table quickly and the service was very good. The waitor was very attentive and helpful.
We had few starters, and then the Korean BBQ. The food was just delicious and the meat was so tender. We also ordered some noodles soups & rice after the BBQ, they came near the end of the BBQ. The timing was just perfect and we enjoyed every minute there.
The restaurant started to get really busy, there was a private party at the back with a large group of people. Also, the floor was full of people waiting and eating, you can really tell everyone was enjoying their food there.
I will definitely go again and recommedate to try the Kimchee pencake, it was yummmmmmy!!

We went to Misato few weeks ago and we waited for a while to get a table. It is true that the food is good in this restaurant. We have been there so many times in the past few years and we go there really just for the food.
They do the biggest Katsu Curry in town, you just can't complain. It is good value for money in the heart of Central London, the price is more than reasonable there. I ordered the Chicken Katsu Curry, I got 4 pieces of Deep Fried Chicken with thick tasty curry sauce on top. It came with rice and salad, no need to order side dish or anything.
If you want to try, I would suggest you to go early evening. I went there once striaght after work around 5 ish, I got the table quickly without much waiting. There is always a long queue, don't let the queue to put you off.

Thai Metro
I have been to Thai Metro for more than 5 times in the past 3 months, the only reason I returned is the food. There are few similar Thai restaurants near by and believe me, I have tried most of them, Thai Metro's food is a bit better and the portions are bigger.
I only go there for lunch, never eat there in the evening. With the deal they do, £7.50 for two courses, I think it is very reasonable in that area. The service is ok and fast, the food always arrive fresh and hot on your table.
They also do fresh orange juice, which goes really well with the food. I always need to drink that after such a heavy lunch.

Pierre Victoire
Pierre Victoire used to be a romantic restaurant with great service and good food at a very reasonable price. However, the standard seemed to drop when we went there again on our 1st Wedding Anniversary.
We booked the table ahead as we know how busy it would be in that restaurant. When we arrived, it was surprisingly quiet. The service was slow and the waitress wasn't interested much.
We tried to order the mussels for starter but they were not available. It was a great disappointment for me as I loved their mussels. I ordered something else instead but it wasn't as good.
The restaurant started to get busy and it was hard to get attention from the waitress. The main courses came without much waiting but they were cold. We ordered steak and I always loved that they put mashed potato under the steak. However, we just couldn't enjoy it when it was cold even though the steak was cooked perfectly.
It was a real let down and there was no point to tell them as they were too busy servicing other customers. We ate our food and left with great disappointment. No wonder the restaurant was quiet. The service wasn't as good as before, the food was ok but could be improved.
I don't think I will go again until I see more positive reviews on this site. I think it must be the management issues and the food was still good. I used to love this restaurant and I hope to go there again one day with a better experience.

Wong Kei
Yes, you are right. The service is really bad, the place is very dirty. There is no atmosphere, no fancy music playing in the background, no waitor asking you every 3 minutes to check if everything ok, this is Wong Kei, you are there to eat the food - great food at low price. Don't ask for too much please.
I've been eating at Wong Kei for more than 7 years, I know the place well and always go there for a quicky. I went there for a quick dinner with couple of colleagues on Thursday. The food is as good as ever, if you really want to try something different, don't order the same old Sweet and Sour chicken... order the old roast duck on rice, that's my personal recommendation.
If you like spicy food, the hot and sour soup is top class, the price is only £1.60, how can you complain about that? Everything there is cheap, just so cheap that you can't find it anywhere else. So please don't expect you can have a fancy treatment when you are there. Just eat and go, be open-minded!!!

Oriental City Food Court
This is like heaven, a place to eat and shop. I used to study at Middlesex University in Hendon and Oriental City was like my own food court. I was so lucky that I could have different kind of food each and every day, with the choices there, I would never get bored.
As a Chinese myself, it's not just about the food to eat, it's also the culture as well. If you go there near the Chinese New Year, or something, there always has celebration and performance. I think it is just like a small local China Town in North London.
Don't forget to try the restaurant upstairs, they do Dim Sum and again, better than you have in China Town. Fresh and hot, more importantly, it's very good value for money.

KimChee is one of the best places to eat Korean food in London, good value for money and the food is just amazing. We lived miles away from Golders Green but we always go back.
If you like spicy food, please try the spicy beef soup. Trust me, it is the best in the world. I once had it for starter and had it again for main course. Just so tasty that you would love to know how they manage to make it so yummy.
The service is ok but you need to book in advance. You may get a table without booking if you are lucky. We went there once without booking and they managed to fit us in.

Greening Via the Data Center
Two weeks ago, instead of experiencing the D.C. snow storm that never came, I was in California attending the Green Grid Forum 2013. For those of you who don't know about it, The Green Grid (TGG) is an open industry consortium of end users, policy makers, technology providers, facility architects, and utility companies that works to improve the resource efficiency of data centers. With more than 175 member companies around the world, it seeks to unite global industry efforts, create a common set of metrics, and develop technical resources and educational tools to further its goals.
This year's Forum had many highlights for me, both in the formal sessions and outside them in the hallways or over a drink. Most striking to me is the out-of-the-box thinking and innovation that is occurring. For instance, Ebay's Dean Nelson brought along both his data centers team and the corporate CFO to talk about how eBAY has upleveled the conversation on data center efficiency into one that the C-level of their company not only could understand, but embrace. The result is their Digital Energy Service Metric, which is now publicly dashboarded. See it and a 6-page white paper here (and there's the excellent GigaOM article) and you'll see how uniquely they've addressed value and transparency in upleveling data center sustainability.
Google's Joe Kava gave an awesome presentation on the exciting things they are doing both to help ROI and to protect against constrained resource availability. Converting old warehouses and paper mills into ultra-modern data centers, with creative new solutions. For cooling, this includes using salt water at their Finnish data center, and "black water" cooling at several other sites, with the water in all cases going back out of the facility in better shape than it came in.
There were presentations on waste to data center power, and on the roadmap for increasingly sustainable data centers. EMC talked on the human face of big data and Microsoft on better software for data center utilization. I had the pleasure of doing a panel with Colette Maloney of the EU Commission, and then to enjoy her remarks on a later panel that highlighted the importance of data centers and IT innovations to achieving EU sustainability goals and embarking successfully on their smart cities efforts.
As the new global digital economy continues to unfold, reliance on data centers will continue to increase. This puts pressure on our industry to do what we can to get the greatest value from every kWh and other resource invested in the data center — both reducing the denominator (resources in) and increasing the numerator (results out). We need to be able to demonstrate to the world that we are indeed investing wisely to help ensure future sustainability, as well as growth. And that is why I found this Forum so invigorating. From what I was seeing and hearing, we are rising to the challenge.

49ers claim playoff spot in dramatic fashion
(Reuters) - A dramatic, fourth-quarter interception return clinched a playoff spot for the San Francisco 49ers as they edged the Atlanta Falcons 34-24 on Monday to celebrate their final regular season game at Candlestick Park.
With the 49ers leading just 27-24 and about two minutes left, Atlanta drove down to San Francisco's 10 yard-line before quarterback Matt Ryan saw his pass intercepted by Navorro Bowman, who took it 89 yards for the clinching score.
"Just reading the quarterback. I was just running to the ball, it popped up and I was able to make a play for my team," Bowman told reporters.
"A lot of history in this stadium, and for this to be the last game we could not leave with the (loss)."
The wild finish put San Francisco (11-4) back in the playoffs after reaching the Super Bowl last season.
They still have a chance to capture the NFC West division if they win next week's season finale and the first-place Seattle Seahawks (12-3) lose.
More than likely, however, the 49ers have played their last game at the Candlestick Park Stadium where they have a 42-year history and indelible memories of five Super Bowl winning seasons.
They are set to move into a new stadium next season.
San Francisco's successful sendoff was sparked by Colin Kaepernick, who tossed for 197 yards and a score, and ran for 51 and another TD. Continued...

Discussion in 'PRA International' started by Anonymous, Jul 14, 2011 at 11:58 PM.
Rumors circulating on PRA being purchased in the next month - anyone hear anything about that?
Prob. another private equity firm, those guys are all about CROs right now
makes sense. if PPD is for sale, why wouldn't mini-PPD (PRA) be for sale?
where is this $1B price tag though? understand 4x revs but peers have gone for much less. genstar paid too much to begin with.
Check back in a month and I'll have an answer for you.
Ha - nice! I've actually heard speculation it will be closer to 2-3 weeks. Time for Genstar to cash out - maybe they'll buy back into PRA again 2 years from now when they sh*t the bed again? Pretty good strategy by Genstar
With Carlyle now looking like they're buying PPD, I wonder if one of the PPD "losers" will buy PRA: Blackstone Group LP, KKR & Co. or Hellman & Friedman?

By DOUGLAS PILS Hsrald-Zakung SMITHSON VALLEY — Smithson Valley High School's head basketball coach was told Thursday his contract would not be recommended for renewal, which the coach alleged is the result of his refusal to inflate grades of algebra students. SVHS principal Dr. Hon Hayworth told Coach Bill MacLeay Thursday he was recommending the coach's contract not be renewed for the 1993-94 school year, according to MacLeay. MacLeay said the principal's action is the result of parent complaints and his refusal to inflate grades in his Algebra I classes at Hayworth's request Hayworth, who is resigning this spring to return to teaching, said he did not want to comment on specifics of the situation until after the March 15 meeting of the Comal Independent School Board, citing MacLeay's comment, "you better get a good lawyer,'' following their Thursday conference. "If he says I asked him to inflate grades, he's not telling the truth. I really don't have anything else to say on the matter," Hayworth said. CISD Superintendent Joe Rogers was planning to meet with both educators Friday morning to hear both sides of the dispute. MacLeay, who was pulled from his algebra classes Thursday, alleged that on three separate occasions Hayworth requested he inflate the grades of his students to push them through the classes. The coach alleged that first incident occurred at the end of the fourth six weeks, the second was one week to IO days ago, and the third case was during a 45-minute conservation Wednesday. See COACH, page 2A Iselin plant to shut down By GREG MEFFORD Herakl-Zettung West Point-Pepperell's Iselin plant will cease operations in May, plant employees were told Thursday. Workers at the Seguin Avenue plant said Thursday night they'd received notice that the plant would cease operations in the coming months. Plant manager Art Jones confirmed the report Friday morning but was unable to provide details on the decision at presstime. Jones said three of five shifts Doctors passing up rural jobs By GARY P. CARROLL Hsrald-Ztltung Increasing government regulations and declining Medicare and Medicaid reimbursements are steering doctors away from rural private practice and into areas of specialty or into the employ of large <------ Tim Owens, C McKenna Memorial Hospital said. Owens said that doctors today are being offered lucrative deals with health maintenance organizations and large urban hospitals, and fewer and fewer doctors are willing to spend the money to pet up a small rural practice. "The problem is, that your medical schools are in lag cities, and the doctors are not schooled in the day to day practice," Owens said. Owens said that to practice in New Braunfels, a doctor must find a place to live, find a place to set up his practice, learn all applicable government regulations, hire and pay a staff, and learn skills not traditionally taught in medical school such as patient charges and billing — "and do it right because if you screw up they'll come and get you. "You're flying blind and taking on a humongous amount of debt," Owens said. Head-hunting agencies seek out and place doctors and charge sizable fees, often in the tens of thousands of dollars, but the fee is paid for by the employer. Tim Briefly, assistant administrator at McKenna, said he deals with several firms in his effort to attract doctors to New Braunfels, but the cost of paying the search agencies is not passed on to the patient "Those fees come out of our normal operating Rind," Brierty Mark Guzman of San Antonio is carried up the bank of the Guadalupe River late Thursday after being swept into the river and catching his foot on a rock.

The New Braunfels-baaed woven fabric operation announced Wednesday the sale of its Mission Valley facility, which was purchased by members of the plant's management team and The Lewis Company, a Dallas-based investement firm. The sale of the Mission Valley site, the older of the two plants, is expected to be completed by late April, according to plant officials.

Clay first to file for CISD seat By ROSE MARIE EASH Herald-Zeltung Garden Ridge businessman John Clay is the first candidate to file for the Comal Independent School District boaiid of trustees election May I. "I want to help," Clay said. "I have three kids in the district, I'm a businessman, and I think a lot of problems can be solved by good communications." Clay is the golf professional and manager for the Northcliff Country Club about IO miles south of New* Braunfels in Guadalupe County. He said his business experience and his active participation in the schools will help him be effective on the board. "I'm a people person," Clay said. "I think good communication and understanding between teachers, parents and the board is important "I'm active in the schools and my wife has been active. I know about running a business, Clay said. "I think ifs a real good district — with some problems — and I want to help." Clay has lived in Garden Ridge for seven years. Filing for May I election began Feb. 15 and will end March 17. Commissioners OK juvenile crime, punishment grants Bee DOCTORS, page 2A By ROBE MARIE EASH Herald-Zeltung Applications for three grants to address juvenile crime and punishment in Comal County were approved Thursday morning at the regular session of Commissioners Court Carol Robison, Chief Probation Officer of the Juvenile Probation Department presented a request for approval for two grant applications. The "Purchase of Youth Services" grant would provide funds for residential services, detention and psychological evalua tions. The Diversionary Program Officer grant would provide funds for a juvenile probation officer to work with Communities in Schools programs, Choices — a program similar to DARE focusing on keeping juveniles away from crime — runaway and truancy programs, and mediation services. "We thought this would be the most costeffective way to get another officer," Robison said. "The Juvenile Probation Commission has a standard that says we should have one probation officer for every IOO referrals we receive annually. In 1992 we had a total of 449 referrals — we're not in compliance. We feel this would be a real beneficial program for us." Sheriff Jack Bremer asked for approval for application for the third year of a "Juvenile Officer" grant 'This is the third year on this grant," Bremer said. "It's been a real effective program — we've gotten a lot of good training. (Juvenile law enforcement) is one of the most difficult fields to operate in. "We all have more than we can do. It really takes a lot of expertise to be able to do this, and it's worked so much more smoothly having one person trained and responsible for that Believe me, it's a worthwhile program." Both requests were approved unanimously. In other business the court: • Tabled awarding bids for the fiberglass boat for the sheriffs department • Re-appointed County Judge Carter Casteel and County Attorney Nathan Rheinlander to the CH-Condominium Council (Landa offices) board of directors. • Approved application for and administration of Health grant hinds to the Local Emergency Planning Committee tor training in hazardous materials response.

This article is from 2007.
It would be unforgivable if a show called Sex failed to be funny, given the range of available material. Davis' set avoids well-worn jokes, managing to be both surprising and intelligent. But Sex ultimately suffers from a somewhat disjointed delivery and a tendency to undersell her punchlines, muttering them dismissively before the audience has a chance to laugh.

Two insights from America this week. The first comes via our sister company Nimlok USA where they are trialling newly-launched technology to enable its designers to sketch stand designs straight into Photoshop. Drawing freestyle straight onto any mobile device enables them to capture client ideas, and not lose the flexibility that comes with sketching v rigid design packages. If it works on that side of the pond, we too hope to stick our toe in the water. So watch this space, or, well, the space on our designers' tablets!
The second lesson is that of the power of social media. With the American election looming, researchers have unveiled a new study that proved the power of peer influence – in this case getting people to go out and vote if they were shown evidence that their close friends had already done so.
For exhibitors the natural question is whether once a close friend has booked to attend a conference or has visited a stand, how can that endorsement be shared in social media circles to influence others to do the same? Ideas on exhibition stands such as games connected to social media, hashtags to link together shared views and these vending machines that capture images and data are just some possibilities. We look forward to showcasing some of these ideas and more over the coming months.
And if there's any UK companies looking to exhibiting in the US, we at Nimlok are happy to help you take those transatlantic steps …


text: This is really sad. Look at these before and after shots of these arrest phots of these drug users. DONT DO DRUGS !!! THESE shocking before and after images reveal in stark and simple terms the cost drug addiction takes on the human face. The harrowing images are featured in the controversial film 'From Drugs to Mugs' - the follow up to the 2004 'Faces of Meth' project which highlighted the effects of methamphetamine use. The pictures, which show how addicts have lost teeth and scratched their skin to the bone, were released in the hope that they will make kids think twice about ever touching drugs. New photographs show the first arrest of a drug user partnered up with a picture taken in some cases only three months later. US cops at the Multnomah County Sheriff's Office in the state of Oregon put together the collection, which features users of all hard drugs including cocaine, heroin and meth.

Category: Pre-poo Conditioner
Prepooing is Read More...
- 1 - 2 - Tablespoon of olive oil or coconut oil
- 5 - 10 - Drops of peppermint oil
DirectionsUsing a spoonful of coconut oil or olive oil, mix in 5 or so drops of peppermint oil. Get your hands wet with the mixture and massage into your scalp. Make sure to rub the mixture through to the end of your strands. Find this and more at www.CurlyConundrum.com.
This pre-poo is seriously amazing! Every other pre-poo I have tried left my hair feeling crispy, but this one is golden. My 2C-3A curls are bouncy and beautiful. I can't wait for my next shampoo! Will recommend this to ALL my curly girls!
Wow, I love this it's perfect! I recently have been experiencing knotty and dry hair ( thanks humidity!). And I brought a real crappy shampoo and conditioner with makes my hair bleurgh!. so I thought that trying this might help. Boy did it ever! even with crappy shampoo, my hair is healthy, shiny and soft and everything in between! Smells great, it's flawless! But the down side was that it was a little expensive. But it does my hair a treat. Highly recommend
This worked so well! My 2C-3A hair is curlier then it has been in weeks! I think my hair was just really dry, but this moisturized my hair really well. I would definitely recommend this!
I have actually started adding peppermint into my deep conditioners as well. I just ordered some extra virgin coconut oil and it should be coming today! I can't wait to try this tonight!
I just used this pre-poo. I love it my scalp feels oh so wonderful and my whole room smells great! I have washed and now doing deep conditioning mask and my scalp is still tingling as I type this. I had lovely little coils once I rinsed. I love it! And as an added bonus I found store right near my home to get my oils from versus online. Thanks for sharing!

|Re: Attempting to split the same package into two jars

Hi, The fileset gives you a set of files, relative to the directory specified in the dir attribibute. What you probably want is to use the directory containing all your sources as the root of the fileset and do apply a filter on the fileset. So instead of: <jar jarfile="${dist_dir}/${dist_bof_file}" > <fileset dir="${scr_tbo_dir}"/> <fileset dir="${scr_tbo_dir}"/> </jar> use: <jar jarfile="${dist_dir}/${dist_bof_file}" > <fileset dir="${comp_sun_dir}"> <include name="com/foo/sbo/**/*"> <include name="com/foo/tbo/**/*"> </fileset> </jar> And instead of: <jar jarfile="${dist_sun_dir}/${dist_sun_file}" basedir="${comp_sun_dir}" excludes="${comp_sun_dir}/${scr_tbo_dir}/**, ${comp_sun_dir}/ ${scr_sbo_dir}/**" /> use: <jar jarfile="${dist_sun_dir}/${dist_sun_file}"> <fileset dir="${comp_sun_dir}"> <exclude name="com/foo/sbo/**/*"/> <exclude name="com/foo/tbo/**/*"/> </fileset> </jar> Gerard On Thursday 03 February 2005 00:55, firstname.lastname@example.com wrote: > Hi, > I am having a problem packaging up my JARs using ant. > > Currently I am building a project which has the following elements: > > com.foo.sbo.* > com.foo.tbo.* > com.foo.* > > I want to create two jar files one which has com.foo.sbo and com.foo.tbo in > the same file and another which has the rest of com.foo* excluding the sbo > and tbo. > > Below is what I have attempted: > > <target name="deploy"> > <echo message="Packaging BOF..."/> > <jar jarfile="${dist_dir}/${dist_bof_file}" > > <fileset dir="${scr_tbo_dir}"/> > <fileset dir="${scr_tbo_dir}"/> > </jar> > <echo message="Packaging server side Java code..."/> > <jar jarfile="${dist_sun_dir}/${dist_sun_file}" > basedir="${comp_sun_dir}" > excludes="${comp_sun_dir}/${scr_tbo_dir}/**, ${comp_sun_dir}/ > ${scr_sbo_dir}/**" /> > <echo message="Done."/> > </target> > > There has the following two problems: > > The first jar file packages the correct classes but doesn't include the > com.foo at the start therefore the jar doesn't work correctly. > > The second jar isn't excluding the com.foo..sbo.* and com.foo.tbo.* > classses. > > Thanks a lot for any help. > > Regards, > Damian. > > _________________________________________________________________ > Growing your business and less than $100 million turnover? > Looking for ways to improve your business and increase profit? > http://www.pwc.com/au/clevercompanies > > Explore opportunities for mid-sized companies to increase profits. > Request a copy of our 'take action' tips. > http://www.pwc.com/au/businessinsightssurvey > > PwC's latest news, insights and offerings > http://www.pwc.com/au > > This communication is intended only for the person or entity to which it is > addressed and may contain confidential and/or privileged material.
