Above: Not your usual Orthodox Christian gathering: Daniel Spiro, left, and Haytham Younis
An imam, a priest and a rabbi walk into a bar, and the bartender says, "What is this? A joke?" It's not often you see Muslims, Christians and Jews in conversation. But at the 2010 Orthodox Peace Fellowship North America Conference, representatives of the three Abrahamic faiths talked together, laughed together, broke bread together and discussed the challenges of interfaith dialogue in today's fear-charged world. The conference was held the first three days of October at St. Paul Greek Orthodox Church in Irvine, California.
The stage was set Friday evening by keynote speaker Dr. Ben Campbell Johnson, executive director of the Institute of Church Renewal and the author of more than a dozen books, including Beyond 9/11: Christians and Muslims Together: An Invitation to Conversation. Johnson, a former evangelical, taught at Columbia Theological Seminary from 1981 to 2000. "Nothing in my life," he said, "would have predicted that someday I would be standing here [at an interfaith event hosted by Orthodox Christians]."
At the age of 75, Johnson had an epiphany. He realized that the 21st century would be all about Christians and Muslims "and I didn't know anything about Islam." After reading and research on Islam, he found himself sitting across from a Muslim woman having a heart-to-heart conversation. He thought to himself, "This woman believes in the same God that I do. I began to see the world differently."
Johnson admitted that for most of his life, he had been afraid of engaging people of faiths other than his own variety of Protestant Christianity. But the more he learned about different religions, and the more time he spent with people of other faiths, the deeper his own faith became.
Above: "I'd Like to Buy an Enemy" – Ted Swartz on the right
After dinner in the parish hall, the conference participants gathered for some comic relief from Ted & Company Theaterworks. Ted Swartz, a Mennonite, had planned to become a pastor, but fell in love with theater in college and has been performing ever since. His satiric play, "I'd Like to Buy an Enemy," exposed the ironies of American society as it relates to peace, justice, and fear. "War is such an eclectic endeavor," he sighs with a smile. "Sooner or later you get to play it with everybody."
The next morning, three concurrent dialogue sessions were held: Jewish-Muslim (Daniel Spiro and Hytham Younis, co-founders of the Jewish-Islamic Dialogue Society in Washington, DC); Catholic-Orthodox (Fr. Steven Tsichlis, pastor of St. Paul's, and Fr. Al Baca of St. Cecilia Catholic Church in nearby Tustin); and Orthodox-Mennonite (OPF's Alexander Patico, Fr. Alexander Goussetis of Annunciation Greek Orthodox Church in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, and Swartz).
Ms. Jahan Stanizai, a Muslim who is president the Interfaith Alliance in Culver City, then participated in a community dialogue with Fr. John-Brian Paprock, of Holy Transfiguration Orthodox Church, Madison, Wisconsin, and creator of Wisconsin's Interfaith Awareness Week, now in its 12th year.
Stanizai is from Afghanistan – the "old" Afghanistan, before most of the country was seized by extremists. "We were a secular country that was 99 percent Muslim," she said. "We were the Switzerland of Asia. We had women in power, we had excellent education. Now they say you can't find a wall more than a foot high without a bullet hole in it." As a result of the current power structure and the war, she says, "many opportunities have been lost. Educated people are under attack – killed, imprisoned or have left the country. Afghanistan has lost a generation."
Stanizai, a psychotherapist who works in family therapy, senses peoples' discomfort when they find out she is a Muslim. "People hold back. I can see their reaction," she said."I learned more about my religion in the US than I did in my own country. I analyzed the Koran here and I see how many Muslim cultures are wrong. [But hatred] is contradictory to the Koran."
Fr. John-Brian Paprock, a priest and hospital chaplain, said he deals with interfaith issues all the time, especially at the hospital, where more than 90 percent of the people he sees are non-Orthodox. While serving in the Madison Urban Ministry, involved in issues such as homelessness, he worked with an all-white group of clergy. "We were talking about race relations and I thought, 'There's a problem here,'" he said. But when the group became more diverse, conflict arose – not between people of different races, but between people of different religions: specifically a Baptist and a member of the Nation of Islam (both African-Americans). "I realized the biggest issue we deal with is not race, but faith," he said. Dealing with interfaith issues can be uncomfortable, "but it's the struggle. When you are most uncomfortable, that is when you meet God."
Like others at the conference, Paprock noted that, in becoming more involved in interfaith dialogue, "I've gone deeper into my own faith. And I realized that God is bigger than all religions. God doesn't need religion; we do. God allows us to be separate."
The author of several books, including Neighbors, Strangers and Everyone Else, Paprock believes that Orthodox Christians "can honor the goodness in others even if those others are deceived.… I do not believe there is more than the one Way to get to the Father. At the same time, we cannot judge anyone outside of our own community – for they may have a relationship with God we may not fathom."
After lunch and into the evening, conference participants watched three films.
Arranged tells the story of the friendship between an Orthodox Jewish woman her Muslim colleague, both new teachers at a Brooklyn school. The young women both respect their family traditions, which include arranged marriage, but must also deal with modern frustrations.
The second film, Out of Cordoba, is about inter-religious harmony in the ancient Spanish city of Cordoba. Director Jacob Bender attended the conference to comment on the film. The film takes Bender, an American Jew, on a post 9-11 journey to Spain, Morocco, France, Italy, Egypt, Palestine, and Israel. He found that conflict between Judaism and Islam is not inevitable.
Ruth Broyde Sharone presented God and Allah Need to Talk. Sharone is a film maker, interfaith pro-activist, community organizer and motivational speaker. The film portrays both the Islamic Center of Southern California, which welcomes visitors of other faiths, and Temple Kol Tikvah, which holds an annual Muslim-Jewish Seder of Reconciliation. Before and after the film, Persian singer Mamak Khadem performed some haunting melodies with Israeli musician Yuval Ron.
The conference presented all the participants with an amazing opportunity to live the biblical text: "When a stranger sojourns with you in your land, you shall not do him wrong. The stranger who sojourns with you shall be to you as the native among you, and you shall love him as yourself; for you were strangers in the land of Egypt." [Leviticus 19:33-34]
Teresa Peneguy Paprock is a writer and a member of the Orthodox Peace Fellowship. She is married to Fr. John-Brian Paprock of Holy Transfiguration Orthodox Church, Madison, Wisconsin. Next years's OPF conference, on the theme of forgiveness, will be held in Madison.

1:00 pm Conference Close
Several meetings held as a part of the recent OPF-North American conference in Maryland focused on the road ahead. These notes grew out of those discussions.
Education: Taking education to mean both educating ourselves and helping to educate others, we have begun to develop a more active engagement. There is interest in providing formal and informal experiences for OPF members to advance their development as peacemakers, while also giving of our own knowledge and understanding of Holy Tradition to others within the larger community.
One way will be to promote learning from others who are further along on that particular journey, such as the Christian Peacemaker Teams, acknowledging that what matters most is how effectively we facilitate the growth of Christ's peace among His people, rather than parochial concerns of jurisdiction.
OPF Conference: For the 2009 Conference, David Holden suggested focusing on health, including mental health, possibly doing it as a joint conference with the Orthodox Association of Medicine, Psychology and Religion. Topics within this area in which members have evinced interest include: PTSD and suicide (as manifested by returning troops who must cope with what they have seen and done in war), schizophrenia and other maladies that require much of family and care-givers, counseling that recognizes and draws upon spirituality, and asceticism in the past, present and future of the Church. Two venues have been discussed for 2009: the Antiochian Village in Ligonier, Pennsylvania, and a location in the Minneapolis area. We hope to get back to the western part of the continent, if not in 2009, then 2010.
Collaboration: Educating others begins at home with Orthodox Christians. In higher education, we have begun a new collaboration with the Orthodox Christian Fellowship to provide a way to bring an awareness of OPF and the search for peace to many more young people. An earlier OPF publication, For the Peace from Above, will be used, with editing and revision, in this new context.
Children's curriculum: In elementary/secondary education, Renee Zitzloff suggested we develop a children's curriculum on relevant topics; she has been joined in this project by Sally Eckert. Synaxis, an Orthodox publishing house, has offered to support us with low-cost publishing of texts we develop for these projects.
Adult education: In Communion articles and original writings by members can gain wider circulation via the web. We will also consider the possibility of an OPF blog using essays based on conference talks as a basis for discussion. The same sort of thing can be done through Ancient Faith Radio, using audio versions.
Making OPF better known: Mother Raphaela proposed a special mailing of In Communion to non-members who may be interested in joining. Elaine Patico suggested establishing an "OPF Sunday." Participating parishes would be provided with a Presentation Kit from OPF, which might include an outline for a talk or discussion, back issues of In Communion, OPF brochures, the resource book we are developing for OCF, and OPF mini-posters with patristic texts on peace and reconciliation.
Web presence: Michael Markwick is preparing to open a new section of InCommunion.org that will serve as a North American sub-site, to cover events and developments in our region, and report on conferences and chapter happenings. We would like to see it be truly North American, with contributions from the US, Canada and Mexico. We will be soliciting contributions of event notices, articles or essays by members to populate this new sub-site.
Local groups: Renee Zitzloff and others started on OPF group in Minneapolis which she hopes to revitalize during the coming year. Members in Portland, Oregon and Los Angeles have expressed interest in starting local groups.
Extra-Orthodox contacts: Alex Patico has been working with the Decade to Overcome Violence, a World Council of Churches project, and Olive Branch Partnership, an interfaith group that sprang out of the Christian Witness against the War in Iraq.
Future contacts might include a project designed to aid and train clergy who work with returning veterans, which is being organized by the Center for Justice and Peacebuilding (Eastern Mennonite University); Heeding God's Call: A Gathering on Peace – a meeting of the Atraditional peace churches" (Quaker, Mennonite and Brethren), which will take place in January in Philadelphia (OPF has been invited to participate); and Consistent Life, an "International Network for Peace, Justice and Life," which emphasizes a consistent ethic opposing abortion, assisted suicide, capital punishment and war.
Peacemaking Services: It has been suggested that OPF develop a capability to assist parishes or Orthodox organizations in resolving intractable conflicts. This may seem an impossibly ambitious aim, but if a sufficient number of members were to make a serious commitment, it could be an important contribution to the life of the Church.
As the concept has taken shape thus far, OPF would assemble a team that would include persons with a background in conflict analysis, conflict resolution, relationship-building; would be based on high standards of confidentiality, professionalism, and Christ-centeredness; would be done at lowest-possible cost to the inviting group, but with minimum out-of-pocket expense for those taking part; would develop, over time, a body of knowledge that itself could prove useful to other groups confronting antagonism that threatens to undermine the peace and growth of parishes. One existing example of practical peacemaking that is changing lives and communities is Reconciliation Services, an Orthodox-oriented, Kansas-based community organization with a unique mission (www.rs3101.org).
Accountability: In order that members and supporters of OPF be able to know how their donations are being used, and to be able to influence the directions taken, we have resolved to send regular updates to the members of the Advisory Board of OPF, consult with active and experienced members regarding decisions, provide answers, in a timely fashion, to any member who has questions about our dealings, and distribute an annual report on finances that goes to the entire membership.
– Alex Patico, OPF-NA secretary

Veggie-Heavy Brunch Recipes Without Eggs or Tomatoes?
Good Questions
Q: I love brunch and frequently host a holiday/tree-decorating brunch party, but I found out this spring that I'm allergic to eggs, oats, tomatoes and barley. What in the world should I make? I'd like to do something with lots of veggies, but everything I find has eggs or tomato.
Sent by Erica
Editor: Erica, you could put together a build-your-own-breakfast-burrito bar centered around a tofu scramble like this Southwestern Tofu Scramble, which doesn't have tomato. You could sauté some spinach or kale for extra veggies, and with a spread of tortillas, beans, cheese, sliced avocado and a green salsa — if you can still eat tomatillos — no one will even miss the eggs or tomato.
Readers, do you have any suggestions for veggie-heavy brunch recipes without eggs, tomatoes, oats or barley?
Next question?

23 Comments
- Bagels with cream cheese, smoked salmon and capers or a variety of bagels and toppings
- Fresh fruit salad or fruit and cheese plate
- Roasted peppers, onions, potatoes and smoked sausage
- Home fries with onions and peppers
Depending on the severity of your allergies, you could make a couple of egg-based dishes, like a strata or quiche, for your guests and not eat them yourself.
A wild rice and mushrooms strata
A savory panna cotta with mashed carrots or parsnips
Cheese, beans & tortillas layered with mild green Chiles
chickpea fritters / "omelet" / dish -- this is used by vegans as an omelet substitute and it can be pretty good. Add whatever vegetables you like.
A hash with a dark green (collards, kale, chard) and sausages!
Second vote for hash. Mix of mushrooms, brussels sprouts, pumpkin & sweet potato garnished generously with flat-leaf parsley looks great and feta or sausages go nicely with it. Or choose a couple of different root veggies and crumble in some bacon and let the colours shine.
Crepes stuffed with veggies and/or fruit! I use this eggless crepe recipe, which turns out really well: http://veganyumyum.com/2009/03/spring-crepes-three-ways/
I'm allergic to tomatoes, too, so usually what I do is replace them with bell peppers. Depending on the recipe, I use raw or I buy the jarred roasted kind. That works well in a lot of recipes. I make my own red sauce by sauteing some onion (sometimes with celery/garlic/carrot), then adding a jar of (rinsed) roasted bell peppers, saute another minute or so, then add about a quart of chicken (or whatever) stock (I usually make my own). Let cook down to the thickness you want, then puree. I use this instead of tomato sauce in all kids of recipes -- you can change the spices to go Mexican/Italian/Indian, etc. I know this isn't breakfast-specific but maybe it will help!
I was deathly allergic to tomatoes until I was about 10 , but I thought it was technically a citrus allergy? Anyway, you might want to check the ingredients on a lot of gluten free products, as they have bagels, pancakes etc. I think most have potato, rice and tapioca flour. I often have leftover dinner for breakfast! Grilled steak and veggies with sour cream.
I would love to hear more about how the wild rice and mushroom strata goes together! I used to make an egged strata that is now off the table.
And a savory panna cotta is interesting too!
Love the chickpea idea! I used them as a base for chocolate chip cookies actually and it's awesome (sounds, weird, I know). I'm not big on tofu and fake eggs so this is appealing. Thanks!
Actually tomato belongs in the nightshade family and sadly that also includes tomatillos, but I do roasted jalapeno salsa.
I do gluten free breads (and whole wheat, which I CAN eat, thank goodness). Bread products are pretty easy, but It's harder to get lighter, veggie things mixed in.
This is a great tip for sauce, thanks!
Thanks for the crepe link- I was wondering if they would hold together without egg :)
I just posted a delicious butternut squash gratin recipe that is egg free, gluten free, soy free, sugar free, and vegan. Perfect brunch food! See recipe in link...
You can try this without the eggs. I have done it and it tasted just fine. http://www.thekitchn.com/brunch-recipe-s-162997
Also, this post has many ideas! http://www.thekitchn.com/10-breakfasts-without-grains-or-eggs-recipes-from-the-kitchn-185946
Polenta or Grits make a great base for all kinds of stuff: sauteed mushrooms duxelle, peppers and onions, asparagus, spinach. You could easily do a polenta bar - just put the polenta in a slow cooker and the toppings around it (this also makes it easy for anyone else with allergies - you can make your polenta dairy-free and offer cheeses as a topping in case some of your guests are vegan.)
You could do the same with a baked-potato bar, or with DIY fruit salad and yogurt (I love "top your own" parties, they're a great way to keep everybody happy and make sure all food issues are addressed; I recommend them here often!)
Quinoa and black bean salad, or quinoa with butternut squash, cranberries and pecans, both of which I found right here on The Kitchn. Sweet potato gratin. Taco bar with tofu, potatoes, peppers, sauteed spinach, etc. And a fruit salad as already mentioned.
Potato and bacon hash from Smitten Kitchen.
breakfast salads? those seemed to be pretty popular around here for a while there...
Are you opposed to tofu? If not, the possibilities are endless! If so, you've still got a lot of possibilities. You should check if your library has Vegan Brunch by Isa Chandra Moskowitz and take a look at it, or if you're a brunch lover just buy it. There are quiche recipes, omelet recipes, muffins, waffles, pancakes and tons more. There is also a recipe in her & Terry Hope Romero's Veganomicon for a mushroom spinach strata. I've never had an egg strata before, but this one is amazing. There's also a recipe for an amazing chipotle hash in her new cookbook Isa Does it. Can you tell I'm an Isa fan? Seriously though, as a vegan who loves brunch - don't sweat not being able to eat eggs. There are a million amazingly delicious things you can still make & have! Even a basic tofu scramble is a great starting place. Good luck!
Here's a favorite eggless brunch recipe of mine:
You can top it with whatever sauteed veggies you like...
This is excellent, with or without ham/bacon. We've mixed up the veggies quite a bit but the technique for the sweet potatoes is spot on, and the black beans make it a nice filling breakfast!

So far I've only tried to use content that required premium service one time. I have my trade skill and talent skill pages bookmarked, and other than that I search the occasional quest line or look for more detail about a particular item that I was ogling in the Armory.
The place works for me. WOWhead has never really worked out for my tastes, but if it's cool for you then by all means, have at it. I also prefer the toilet paper to hang away from the wall, I squeeze the toothpaste from the bottom and not the middle, prefer Coke over Pepsi, PC's over MAC, Outlook over Lotus Notes, and girls instead of guys.
But hey, you know.... whatever makes you happy. Or as the saying goes, "Not that there's anything wrong with that."

Why Don't You?
In 1936 Diana Vreeland began a column in Harper's Bazaar titled "Why Don't You…" which dispensed absurdist tidbits that nonetheless inspired. This week, I'll tie together some random photos from my own archive.
Why don't you paint your niches with down-lighting racer pink?
Why don't you paint faux flocked wallpaper behind your Santa Clause cookie jar collection? It's almost Christmas…
Why don't you paint your powder room Puerto Rican Pink? Or Fiesta Orange??
Why don't you paint a faux knotty pine behind that 50s credenza? God is in the details…
Why don't you paint that table to match your mid-century ceramics?
Why don't you skip the walls and put color into light?
Why don't you find a great paper for that breakfast nook? Come on, white don't you??
- Mark Chamberlain, interior and decorative painter

I'd scream every time I walked into the kitchen with the cookie jar collection. Just too creepy for me.
However, my only bathroom is painted a very bright red and I adore it!
do you have a link to the article?
You do realize, hoosthatgirl, that they didn't have the internet in 1936?
Also, this was a column that ran for a long time, not an article.
If you type "Diana Vreeland" into Google, you will find out a lot about this venerable style icon.
"Why don't you wash your blond child's hair in dead champagne as they do in France?"
i know it's a toilet but i just WANNA LICK the orange one! as early as age-seven i made orange my 'fav colour' and i have remained loyal since.
that orange pic makes me wanna hug, embrace and fuse with the wall! so strange. but it just does that to me!

- Funding Received
- $1.1 Billion in 6 Rounds from 20 Investors
- Most Recent Funding
- $500 Million Debt Financing on April 6, 2014
- Headquarters:
- San Francisco, CA
- Description:
- Dropbox operates a free file hosting service that allows users to share and access photos, documents and videos anywhere.
- Founders:
- Arash Ferdowsi, Drew Houston
- Categories:
- Storage, Web Hosting
- Website:
- http://www.dropbox.com
Company DetailsUpdate
Dropbox was founded in 2007 by Drew Houston and Arash Ferdowsi. Frustrated by working from multiple computers, Drew was inspired to create a service that would let people bring all their files anywhere, with no need to email around attachments. Drew created a demo of Dropbox and showed it to fellow MIT student Arash Ferdowsi, who dropped out with only one semester left to help make Dropbox a reality. Guiding their decisions was a relentless focus on crafting a simple and reliable experience across every computer and phone.
Drew and Arash moved to San Francisco in fall 2007, secured seed funding from Y Combinator, and set about building a world-class engineering team. In fall 2008, Sequoia Capital led a $7.2M Series A with Accel Partners to help bring Dropbox to people everywhere.

A man is now in custody after escaping from state troopers Sunday evening in Oldham County.
State troopers pulled over a vehicle two miles outside of Vega yesterday night around 7 o'clock. According to reports, troopers located more than 8 lbs. of PCP in the vehicle.
"In the process of arresting them. They already had one handcuffed, seated in the car working on some of the others and this guy took off and ran," David Medlin, Oldham County Sheriff says.
Treava Coleman and Markaze Tart were both arrested on narcotics charges. But, state troopers say Robert Ford led them and Oldham County sheriffs deputies on a chase.
"We spent several hours last night trying to find him. Had the helicopter from DPS flying and several people on the ground looking. And anyway, didn't find him and so we came back this morning and before we really got going good he'd shown up at a house here in town," Medlin says.
Ford was found two blocks west of the Vega court house.
But residents here were on high alert since last night.
"Of course you know we called some of the people out near where we were searching. And I understand it was all over Facebook and everything within a matter of minutes so. Same thing this morning, by the time we brought the guy in to the jail here, two blocks away, it was already on Facebook he's been caught," Medlin says.
After finding out the schools were on lock down, two mothers sat outside the court house this morning until they found out the final suspect was in custody.

You've spent all that time growing your hair out, you've followed expert advice, and you finally made it to long hair heaven. But you have that itch. Is it time to go short? What's really a good reason? The most convincing one we can think of is because you want to. But here are a few more for good measure: these days every girl from age 20 to 50 seems to have grown her hair out, being different, showing off your individuality and adopting a head-turning style sets you apart. Short hair is sophisticated, plain and simple. Short hair is mature. We don't mean Grandma mature. We mean "I'm a grown-up, I have it together" mature. You'd be surprised how much sexier and attractive that attitude is compared to the woman still not sure what she wants or who she is. Many of our most revered beauty icons had/have short hair (Marilyn, Halle, Audrey, Princess Grace) all the better to admire a stunning face. And finally, you're just tired of dealing with the weight and inconvenience of multiple layers, clogged shower drains, and buying conditioner like it's going out of style.
If any of these thoughts have been running through your mind, here are some of our favorite red carpet darlings who have gone short and (mostly) stayed that way. They're gorgeous and one of their looks might be the perfect one for you. So, bookmark this page, and if you just can't take it anymore, pick a cut to give to your stylist with explicit instructions to make your hair just as beautiful as the inspiration in the photograph.7 Compelling Reasons to Cut Your Hair Short - theFashionSpot

I haven't been able to help but notice the wave of fashionable women cutting off their locks at the moment; Karlie Kloss started it off a few weeks ago, whilst the British Fashion Awards saw both Pixie Geldof and Edie Campbell debut new cuts. The former has had a number of short cuts with varying degrees of success, but looks absolutely gorgeous with this pixie (the pun was too obvious to resist) cut. As much as I love big hair, its nice to see this departure from the more obvious, lads' mag/posh girl/Hollywood ideal of femininity. Not going to lie; I have an agenda in this department; my own hair simply will. not. grow.

Celebrity Sighting of the Day: Daniel Day-Lewis was spotted today in Richmond, Virginia's Arcadia restaurant in character as Abraham Lincoln.
Day-Lewis is set to play the Great Emancipator in a 2012 biopic being directed by Steven Spielberg.
According to one snoop, Day-Lewis has apparently been in character since March, and is so committed to the role that "[h]is real name doesn't even appear on the call sheet."

Hindu leaders in America have demanded an apology from Selena Gomez after she performed "Come & Get It" at the MTV Movie Awards with a religious bindi symbol on her forehead.
Officials at the Universal Society of Hinduism have branded the performance "insensitive," and have urged her not to repeat it as she plans for an upcoming world tour.
Find: Video of Selena's performance
Hindu statesman Rajan Zed tells WENN, " The bindi on the forehead is an ancient tradition in Hinduism and has religious significance. It is also sometimes referred to as the third eye and the flame, and it is an auspicious religious and spiritual symbol ... It is not meant to be thrown around loosely for seductive effects or as a fashion accessory aiming at mercantile greed.
"Selena should apologize and then she should get acquainted with the basics of world religions."
Gomez has also come under fire for her alleged culturally insensitive performance at the awards ceremony on Sunday from her Twitter followers, who went public with their outrage.
Photos: MTV Movie Awards fashion | More on the show
In a post, one fan wrote, "Selena Gomez the bindi is not just some fashion accessory you can throw on, cultural appropriation man," while another added, "Selena Gomez, take that bindi of your head, cultural appropriation is not cute."
A third follower said, "CULTURAL APPROPRIATION AT IT'S FINEST, MY RESPECT FOR SELENA IS FADING AS WE SPEAK," while a fourth viewer tweeted, "@selenagomez Hi, leave Bindis for Indian women."
The 20-year-old has yet to respond to the criticism.

This is one service that will be used by all.
A team from IIT Kanpur and the Indian Railways have developed a real-time train information service, where a person can know the exact location of a train by sending an sms to a number. According to railway ministry officials, the user has to type the train number and sms it to 09415139139 or 0966139139 to get the information.
The service will also be available on laptops via an interactive platform, so that there is no need for telephonic enquiry.
Currently, the service is available for 36 pairs of trains (both up and down) like Duronto, Rajdhani and Shatabdi. Within the next 18 months, all trains are expected to be covered by the service. The Railways have earmarked Rs121 crore for the project, and plans to install a Rs 50,000 signal receiver on each train that will transmit its location.
A railway official has said that the centre for interpreting the signals and dispelling information to the subscribers will be based in New Delhi. He also said that the trial run for the pilot project is complete and by the end of 2013, hopefully all mail and express trains will be covered by it.
The Railways have obtained clearance from India Space Research operation(ISRO) to operate the pilot system through satellite, and have asked permission for using satellite for other trains as well. CRIS, the technology arm of Railways, will sign an MoU with IIT-Kanpur shortly to execute the project.
The Railway Ministry is looking at enhancing traveler experience and have been talking of introducing several things~ like broadband-based internet and multimedia facilities.
The other popular mobile service of similar nature is the immensely popular mindicator for Mobond, which gives all information on Mumbai's local and suburban trains and state-run buses, apart from movie-running information and auto fares.


text: Actor "Lee Thompson Young" dies at age 29 LOS ANGELES - Former Disney star Lee Thompson Young was found dead of an apparently self-inflicted gunshot in his North Hollywood apartment Monday, sources told the Daily News. Young, 29, was best known for his leading role in the Disney series "The Famous Jett Jackson." He was found unresponsive with a bullet wound to the head by Los Angeles cops about 9 a.m., a law enforcement source told the News. Cops were called to do a welfare check after Young missed a call time on the set of his current show, the TNT police drama "Rizzoli & Isles," the source said. "It is with great sadness that I announce that Lee Thompson Young tragically took his own life this morning," his longtime manager Jonathan Baruch said in a statement. "Lee was more than just a brilliant young actor. He was a wonderful and gentle soul who will be truly missed," Baruch said. "We ask that you please respect the privacy of his family and friends as this very difficult time." leethompsonyoung disney jet jackson kid star suicide la tnt tmz pray faith media Fame hollywood skateboardb82 likes thiswil-b-free reblogged this from coldnystreetscoldnystreets reblogged this from coldnystreets

The Dynamics of Entry, Exit and Profitability: An Error Correction Approach for the Retail Industry
AbstractWe develop a two equation error correction model to investigate determinants of and dynamic interaction between changes in profits and number of firms in retailing. An explicit distinction is made between the effects of actual competition among incumbents, new firms competition, and potential competition from firms outside the market. Effects of cost, demand and general income changes on profitability are investigated to gain insight in the role of retailing in the cost, demand and wage inflationary process. The relative importance of profitability, growth and unemployment as determinants of net entry are studied. The model is tested using a panel data set of 36 Dutch shoptypes covering the 1977-1988 period. Copyright 1994 by Kluwer Academic Publishers

Double breasted blazers made a come back whilst trousers were that bit too short and sat neatly on the ankle in dusty colours between blue and grey. Shoes were leather loafers, in brown or patent cream and shirts were replaced by marl t-shirts. For a more dressed down look pattern came to play with large print 70s paisley, collaged prints and striped knitwear. Shorts were exactly that, short; and teamed with chunky knits and shirts. I even spied a shirt and shorts combination in aubergine colours that looked suspiciously like a playsuit. Luxury was added with silky pyjama style trousers and shirts with Grandad-esque prints of diamonds. A little quirky, a little retro but very stylish, bravo Topman Design.

Offshore-oil Eurocopter EC175 Pegged for 2012 Approval
Eurocopter confirmed that it plans to gain type certification for the EC175 medium twin this year while clarifying that it expects complementary certification for the offshore-oil configuration by the middle of next year. This configuration is that of the second prototype, which has been flying since December. It includes features such as emergency flotation gear, life rafts, radio navigation system and dual FMS, Tcas II and air conditioning. Spain-based Indra will manufacture the first flight simulator for the type, to be installed at the training center in Marignane, France. The sim is slated to be ready to train pilots ahead of the first deliveries, which are slated for next year. The launch customer is Bristow. The MSG-3 maintenance program is also said to be on schedule. Meanwhile, a third prototype is expected to fly by December. Among other roles, it will be used for the certification of an ice-protection system by 2016. The EC175 is a 50-50 joint program with China's Avicopter.

There is no way to prevent fibromyalgia. However, proper treatment can keep symptoms at a minimum. If you suspect you may have fibromyalgia, try to get on a consistent sleep schedule and avoid stressful situations as much as possible. Inadequate sleep and emotional stress can both lead to worsening of symptoms.

This book (that is so incorrectly named - it has nothing to do with the storyline)is a modern take on pride and prejudice, and is just as elegant as the original. There are several ties to the classic story, such as the main character's name, Elise Benton instead of Elizabeth Bennet, to the definite similarities between Webster and Wickham. However, the story changes in the fact that it is all set in present day, and deals with more modern problems than the old version. Either way, this epic love story is definitely not a fail.

Ghoul has to battle a fight on the inside. Please leave a review or rating
I feel like I'm sitting in a movie theater just watching the world around me on the screen. Scratch that, I'm not sitting, I'm strapped down and held against my will. I'm so confused as to what's going on. I know I should be talking and moving but my body just refuses, I'm trapped in a shell. My body hurts and I'm scared, what freaks me out the most is that I'm scared of Party.
The gorgeous sassy redhead that's meant to be my best friend. He turned on me like a werewolf under a full moon. He became a heartless and harsh man that takes joy in others pain and heartbreak. It sends chills down my bruise spine. His words still spin in my head, that's all I've been thinking about, like a broken record stuck on repeat just replaying the event over and over in my head up on the big screen. and I can't turn away instead I watch and torture myself.
"You know nothing! This is your fucking fault! All of it! You're the one to blame!"
The way he just spat those words out so carelessly and with no regret from his chapped lips hurts my chest and makes it harder to breath. The sad thing is that I agree with Party, I agree with everything...
"It's your fault! You're the difficult one, the pain in everyone's ass. You're too fucking short to carry a heavily bag! Clumsy as shit! You're the one that found that bitch Adrenaline Angel, it's your fault that we now have next to nothing! You're so fucking stupid that you mess up your hands by carrying that motherfucking tree. You won't just fucking eat like a normal person, No! Not Ghoul he's got to be the stupid mother fucker that will waste away and make us carry him when he's too fucking weak to even stand up by himself! You're slowing us down and putting our lives at risk! You're a waste of water, a waste of food, a waste of space, a waste of air! You're nothing but a fucking stupid waste. You should just fuck off and die in a fucking hole or something!!! We would all be so much better off without you! We don't need you or even want you!"
I wish he just killed me rather than letting me live like this, with the knowledge that he hates me. The way he smirked when he spoke would have the devil running for his money.
"I hate you. You are the cause to everyone's grief, you fucked up worthless piece of useless shit. You fucked everything up."
I've not slept since waking up earlier today. As I lay silent next to the softly crackling flames pretending to sleep I hear Kobra sniffling, the sound breaks my heart, I want to move to comfort him and tell him that he doesn't need to cry but I couldn't move. All the energy is extracted and drained. The black dog has sunk his teeth into my flesh and is dragging me back down into the seemingly never ending suffocating darkness of depression. I've been to this place before, long ago in the years behind me. The shadow dog clamps its jaws into my fragile bones and refuses to let go until you fight back hard enough or end it all. The poison from its saliva turns my mind against me and won't let me smile or feel joy, my body begins to feel and seem foreign. My skin feels too tight and nothing feels ok. I'm numb. I wanna scream but have no voice. I wanna run but my legs are broken.
I space in and out of sleep but never fully slumber. I effetely roll onto my back and stare up at the stares for a moment not really thinking of anything but just trying to feel like myself. The fire cracks next to me and I notice just how close I am to it. I wanna feel something. Am I even alive? In a dazed like state I raise my hand, which felt like lead moments before but now feels light as a feather. I slowly move it closer to the flames wanting to feel the warmth embrace my fingers. The orange glow shines on my damaged skin. Cuts and splinters from the tree very evident and makes me cringe as I flash back to Party's cruel words that scream in my ear.
"You're so fucking stupid that you mess up your hands by carrying that motherfucking tree."
I squeeze my eyes shut as I try to distract myself by inching my hand closer to the fire, every now and again the flames lick at my fingers causing a heated sensation to tingle up my arm. I stare at the golden glow as my hand starts to burn. It takes a moment for my reflexes to react and I pull back my hand fast. I hiss quietly at the pain, slightly relieved to be feeling something.
I sit up and look around to make sure I hadn't woken up any of the others. Jet was dead to the world not too far away from my feet. Kobra was curled up into a ball on his side not too far away from me and on the other side of him is his redheaded brother, Party. They all look so calm and save. The only movement is Party's little shivers against the cool air. They all stay sound asleep as I staggered to my feet holding my hand out so to not touch anything with it and inspect the damage in the dull light, it's not too bad, it was just the heat that made if feel like my hand melted to the bone but it also freed me from my torture movie theater.
I carefully make my way around Kobra to Party and pull the blanket that and fallen off his body up to his shoulders and gently brush away a few strands I vibrant red hair out of his face. Party stops shaking and stirs in his sleep a little but doesn't wake up. I look around our little campsite and assess the situation we're in. Tools and bags are thrown all over the place, if we had to make a quick escape we would have to abandon half the stuff because there was no way we could pack everything up fast enough.
I sway over to a tipped over bag and pick up a nearly empty bottle of water, I take a mouth full, than screw on the cap and drop the bottle. Party's words still whisper in my ears and I just wanna make it stop! I cover my ears with both my damaged hands and shake my head violently, screaming on the inside for the sound to leave me in peace. I stagger a little away from the others in case I fall over the top of them. I spin and shake my head trying to shut up the taunting voice. I topple over my own feet and slam into the sand with a solid 'thud' a few meters away from the light of the fire and my friends.
I kneel on my bruised knees, unable to decide if I wanna hold my head or ribs, my body is alive with acidy pain. Party's voice continues,
"You're clumsy as shit!"
"no" I whisper brokenly. I struggle to breathe as I wobble on my hands and knees.
"You know nothing!
"please…stop" I quietly sob, trembling terribly from the emotional grief as the black dog tears my flesh straight off my bones.
This is your fucking fault! All of it! You're the one to blame!"
"I know…I..I'm sorry." I struggle to stay silent, making the lump in my throat hurt even more as Party's voice reduces me to a sobbing mess.
"you're worthless."
Warm tears trickle across my redden cheeks and dribble off my chin and down my neck.
You're the difficult one
"I won't be, not anymore." I weep, shaking my head as I begin my attempt to kick off this black shadow of a dog.
You're too fucking short to carry a heavily bag!
"I'll carry more bags, I can… I can do that." I defend myself.
You won't just fucking eat like a normal person, No! Not Ghoul he's got to be the stupid mother fucker that will waste away and make us carry him when he's too fucking weak to even stand up by himself!
"I'll, I'll go hunting and…and I'll eat the meat…I'll do it. I well!" my voice grows stronger as I shake the dog off but it still lingers nearby circling me, waiting, watching, stalking it's pray until it's too weak to shake it off again, I'll wait till it's poison takes full effect.
"You're slowing us down."
"NO! not anymore." I state sternly, I know it's all only a show. I still feel pathetic, weak and worthless. But I'm gonna try. I'll earn Party's praise. I'll prove myself to everyone!
"I hate you. You are the cause to everyone's grief, you fucked up worthless piece of useless shit. You fucked everything up."
I breathe in deep and kneel on my knees, I look up at the stares as the last of my tears for now slide down my skin.
"I'll make you not hate me. I'll do better. I won't fuck up any more…" I whisper to no one with a raspy voice. I take deep breaths and calm myself down. My hands still shake but I now know what I'm meant to do. I stand up and look determinedly back over at the campsite. As I set to work I feel the dirty yellow eyes of the black dog watching me…waiting for me to fall while I pick myself up.

LightSquared sees no obstacles left blocking LTE network
Though its plans are controversial, CMO says LightSquared is confident it will receive FCC approval and can start building its network this year
Industry News
Briefing Room
Correction: A previous version of this story stated that LightSquared expects to receive FCC approval for its LTE network in mid-December. LightSquared actually expects that approval to come in mid-September.
After Thursdays announcement of a network sharing deal with Sprint (CP: Sprint confirms LightSquared LTE tie-up), LightSquared chief marketing officer Frank Boulben said all the pieces have fallen into place for the launch of its long-term evolution launch in the fourth quarterall of the pieces save one. LightSquared still needs final FCC approval to move forward with its terrestrial network plans.
Thats no minor obstacle. Opposed to LightSquared stands the might of the GPS industry, which has provided substantial evidence that the operators LTE network would cause massive interference problems with GPS receivers. If the millions of devices and applications that depend on GPS signals for their location data were in jeopardy, the FCC would have a difficult time approving LightSquareds plans (CP: Sorting out the LightSquared GPS interference mess).
But Boulben said LightSquared has done its due diligence before the regulators. Though it didnt win the support of GPS vendors, LightSquared has demonstrated that it can field a network that wont harm the vast majority of GPS receivers; the interference issues that remain with high-precision filters can be solved with retroactive filters, Boulben said. The public comment period will be contentious, but Boulben said LightSquared is confident that the FCC will green-light its plans in mid-September, paving the way for its initial deployment next quarter and a commercial launch next year.
LightSquared has agreed to retool its existing deployment plans, moving its network downlink away from GPS to the lower portion of the L-band, which alleviates interference problems for the majority of devices (though there is still considerable disagreement between device vendors and LightSquared over how much interference mitigation is enough). But high-precision receivers reach beyond the GPS frequencies into the heart of the L-band where they access augmentation signals to hone their location coordinates. For those devices, interference is still a huge problem. Boulben, however, insists its not LightSquareds problem.
LightSquared has implemented all of the necessary network filters to prevent its networks from transmitting in the GPS and augmentation bands, Boulben said. The problem lies with the way high-precision receivers are designed, he said. Theyre built to receive all frequencies between the augmentation and GPS bands, meaning the interference they experience is a result of them listening in on LightSquareds LTE frequencies, he said.
This is a receiver issue. LightSquared is fully compliant with the rules, Boulben said. The smartphone manufacturers have done their jobs. The iPhone and many Android devices are designed not to listen out of the GPS band. But there are other manufacturers that have ignored the rules established by the FCC.
While many GPS device manufacturers have designed to receive L-band signals, it was a never a problem when the spectrum was reserved solely for satellite service use. Much weaker orbital signals never overwhelmed GPS receivers. Only when high-powered terrestrial LTE signals enter the band does interference become an issue. The GPS industry maintains that that the L-band has always been reserved for satellite services for that reason, and that no terrestrial LTE network can co-exist with GPS in L-band because of it.
Both sides are confident that their arguments will sway the FCC, but if LightSquared prevails there will be no remaining obstacles to prevent it from going forward its launch. Its network sharing deal with Sprint will allow it to deploy that network faster and at a much lower cost than it would have it deployed 40,000 new base stations. Sprints Network Vision architecture can support LightSquareds LTE network on the same base stations as its CDMA network due to its technology-agnostic design. Boulben said LightSquared will save $13 billion over 8 years and will achieve its 260 million-pops-coverage goal in 2014, a year earlier than planned.
LightSquared effectively will be leasing infrastructure from Sprint so it wont incur the massive up-front capital expenditures that accompany any new network. That relieves it of a good deal of its financing pressure, which was LightSquareds second biggest obstacle to deployment. Ultimately LightSquared will be on the hook for $9 billion in payments to Sprint, but those will be spread out over 11 years. The remainder of leasing costs will be paid in the form of bandwidth credits that Sprint can use for its own 4G service.
LightSquared has already demonstrated there is plenty of demand for its wholesale business model, having signed up retailers like Best Buy and operators like Leap Wireless long before its network ever saw life. Its gotten commitments from Qualcomm to build the LTE chipsets at its 1.6 GHz frequencies and even support satellite radios for dual-mode customers.
LightSquared, however, may be limited as to the size of the network it can build. As part of its concession to the GPS industry, LightSquared is leaving its upper-band downlink spectrum untouchedat least initiallypreventing it from deploying the two 10 MHz-by-10 MHz LTE carriers it originally intended. LightSquared has access to 59 MHz total, but not all of it can be used for its primary frequency division duplexing (FDD) LTE network. A portion of that spectrum is being used for a satellite service, while another 13 MHz sits in a single block, having no distinct uplink and downlink component. That leaves it with a single 10 MHz-by-10-MHz carrier, the same bandwidth Verizon Wireless uses for its 4G LTE network.
Boulben pointed out that 10x10 is by no means a small amount of capacity. Even though Sprint is able to reserve as much as half of that capacity, Sprint will be a paying customer like all of LightSquareds other MVNO partners, Boulben said. He expects that single carrier will have enough capacity to support 25 million devices each using an average of 4 GB a month. That gives LightSquared plenty of headroom for the next five years, after which LightSquared has plenty of option, he said.
We are looking at several different engineering scenarios, Boulben said. We wont need any new capacity for several years and when we do were confident that the technology will be available to allow us to expand into the rest of the L-band.
The guard band LightSquared created just below GPS wont be permanent, Boulben said. LightSquared acknowledges there is no commercially feasible technology available today it could use prevent to LTE interference in the upper L-band, but LightSquared plans to work with wireless and GPS industry vendors to develop such a solution with hopes of it being commercially available in several years, Boulben said. Even if it takes longer than five or six years to develop those filters or technique, LightSquared can use other parts of its spectrum. It wouldnt be able to deploy more FDD LTE, but it could use its unpaired spectrum to deploy time division duplexing (TDD) networks similar to the WiMAX systems Clearwire uses today. Only one channel in the upper L-band, the downlink, would be off limits, Boulben said. The uplink in the upper L-band is well a ways from the GPS band and could be turned into a single 10 MHz TDD carrier. LightSquared could do the same with its 13 MHz block, Boulben said.
Those are concerns for a much later time, however, Boulben said. LightSquareds first priority will be get its initial footprint built so it can start selling capacity to its growing list of customers. Given that LTE and CDMA will share the same infrastructure, the LTE networks expansion will depend on Sprints Network Vision deployment schedule. Part of LightSquareds agreement with Sprint includes roaming on Sprints legacy 3G network, allowing LightSquared to provide some degree of mobile broadband in areas where it doesnt offer LTE. In areas where Sprints EV-DO network isnt available, LightSquared will use its satellite network for coverage.
By 2014 when the network is fully deployed, we wont need to rely on 3G, Boulben said. Our 4G network will completely overlap the 3G network.
