"They do have bathrooms in all the cars but it is VERY basic. The seats are comfortable and you sit 2 to each seat." Had to laugh here, but I know what you meant to say.

The main building has recently undergone a $1.8 billion dollar renovation. By Andrew Rafferty, Staff Writer, NBC News A German magazine reported Sunday that the National Security Agency secretly monitored the United Nation’s New York headquarters by hacking into the organization’s video conferencing system. The weekly Der Spiegel cited documents provided by former U.S. intelligence contractor Edward Snowden that show the European Union and International Atomic Energy Agency were targets of the U.S. spying effort. The NSA was able to crack the coding of the U.N.’s video conferencing system last summer, the magazine reported. Der Spiegel reported that one of the documents it obtained said, "The data traffic gives us internal video teleconferences of the United Nations (yay!)," according to a Reuters report. Advertise | AdChoices Within three weeks the number of decrypted communications rose from 12 to 458, according to the report. Surveillance of the EU’s work in New York began in the fall of 2012 when it moved to a new room, according to the internal documents reported on by Der Spiegel. The U.S. intelligence agency spied on plans for the EU mission and its technical infrastructure. Der Spiegel reports that the documents provided to them reveal that the NSA has surveillance of more than 80 embassies and consultants throughout the globe, an initiative called "Special Collection Service.” Earlier this year, Snowden leaked information to media outlets about far reaching government spying programs that intelligence officials say has damaged their ability to thwart potential terrorist attacks. Before revealing himself as the leaker, Snowden fled the United States to China, where did gave an interview with the British newspaper The Guardian, revealing his reasons for going public with the information. "I really want the focus to be on these documents and the debate which I hope this will trigger among citizens around the globe about what kind of world we want to live in," Snowden told the newspaper. "My sole motive is to inform the public as to that which is done in their name and that which is done against them." From there he headed to Russia, where earlier this month he was granted temporary asylum. The former Booz Allen Hamilton employee has further strained the relationship between the U.S. and Russia, prompting President Barack Obama to cancel a September meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin. Snowden is wanted by U.S. authorities for leaking the classified information, and Russia's unwillingness to comply with U.S. calls for his return have outraged the White House and some members of Congress. Officials are unclear what other national security information Snowden possesses and may leak. NSA officials have maintained that all surveillance programs have operated within the confines of the law. Reuters contributed to this report.

Cat is too dry and greasy?

I have read somewhere that this was tried and those receiving treatment regained slight feeling in their lower extremities. Perhaps long after their injury the treatment was undergone. If the injury was more recent it might be slightly more viable. Some progress has been made in the number of stem cells not migrating away from the treated area. Whether or not they will incorperate this into his treatment should be discussed with the treating physician. Glad to see your friend is taking a hands on approach to his situation. Best of luck to him.

"confident that I have not spent more on clothes for myself in one year than most people reading this do in 5 years" hopefully that didn't come out as planned...

Sadly,from autopsies one of the fatalities appears to have died being run over by a responding emergency vehicle.

upon searching I find that the Liberace Museum has now reopened? or is planning to reopen 2014. http://www.bobsliberace.com/what's%20new/newmuseum/grand.html

http://www.latimes.com/news/nation/nationnow/la-na-nn-liberace-las-vegas-mansion-20130627,0,948445.story LAS VEGAS — Liberace’s old off-Strip mansion is up for sale for a veritable song, but is the property fabulous or a decrepit fixer-upper? Built in 1962, the once-lavish 14,939-square-foot spread sits on a half-acre lot near the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, and features two bedrooms, 10 bathrooms and several large areas for entertaining. There are flashes of the legendary pizazz once embodied by Liberace, whose life was the subject of the recent HBO film, “Behind the Candelabra,” which details the eccentric entertainer’s secretive romance with former chauffeur and lover Scott Thorson. PHOTOS: Liberace - From the archives Liberace, who denied during his life that he was gay, died of an AIDS-related illness in 1987. Like a bachelor pad from another era, the place features such bling as chandeliers, a mirror bar etched with Liberace’s signature and a bedroom ceiling adorned with a $1.6-million reproduction of Michelangelo’s painting in the Sistine Chapel. The asking price: $529,900. That’s $3 million less than what the place sold for in 2006, during this city’s housing boom. The bank that owns the house is entertaining cash-only offers. But in this town, where celebrities from rappers to boxers come and go — building their domestic castles before moving on — surprisingly few people are talking on the record about the sale. But one thing they will say is that just because a famous person once called a property home, that property doesn’t necessarily retain its glamour, or its price. Celebrities selling their homes will often hold Realtors to no-talk clauses about the details of the sale. But Liberace has been dead for nearly two decades and the house has been through two owners since the fabulous one last lived there. Las Vegas Realtor Dan Humeston is listed on public documents as the listing agent. A woman who recently answered his business phone and who would identify herself only as the Realtor’s “partner,” said JPMorgan Chase, which seized the property through foreclosure in February 2010, wants to lessen pre-sale publicity. PHOTOS: The over-the-top homes of "Behind the Candelabra" “The bank people were OK with a local story but now it’s getting picked up nationally, in what they consider a negative manner,” the woman told the Los Angeles Times. Liberace, once the world’s highest-paid entertainer, enjoyed a career that spanned four decades and included concerts, movies and TV. He was once the poster boy for extravagance. So why is his old haunt selling so relatively dirt cheap? “For one thing, it’s in a dumpy old neighborhood where the surrounding houses are selling for a hundred grand,” one Las Vegas real estate veteran told The Times. He asked that his name not be used because of the sensitivity of the sale. His description of the place went even more south from there. “It’s been run through the foreclosure ringer. What you’ve got is a seedy old house in the suburbs that from the start was turned into something it wasn’t mean to be. It’s comprised of a bunch of cobbled-together add-ons that fill the lots. It’s an odd duck.” It gets even worse. “The place is mediocre even by Vegas standards. I mean, who would live in the thing? Even if you’re a fat cat who has a half-million in cash to spend, it’s not a very nice place to live.” Liberace bought the house in 1974. His foundation sold the property two years after his death. How far the once-mighty palace has since fallen. Still, the woman in the Realtor’s office told The Times that cash offers began coming in the day the property hit the market not long ago. Her response to the asking amount? “Hey, I don’t price it. I just sell it.” http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/tv/showtracker/la-et-mn-liberace-archival-candelabra-pictures,0,6807624.photogallery

http://nbcpolitics.nbcnews.com/_news/2013/06/26/19151971-supreme-court-strikes-down-defense-of-marriage-act-paves-way-for-gay-marriage-to-resume-in-california?lite In a pair of landmark decisions, the Supreme Court on Wednesday struck down the 1996 law blocking federal recognition of gay marriage, and it allowed gay marriage to resume in California by sidestepping a separate case. The court invalidated the Defense of Marriage Act, which denied federal benefits to gay couples who are legally married in their states, including Social Security survivor benefits, immigration rights and family leave. Justice Anthony Kennedy, writing for the majority in a 5-4 decision, said that the law amounted to the “deprivation of the equal liberty of persons that is protected by the Fifth Amendment.” In the second case, the court said that it could not rule on a challenge to Proposition 8, a ban on gay marriage in California passed by voters there in 2008. That decision will allow same-sex marriage to resume there. J. Scott Applewhite / AP Gay rights advocate Vin Testa waves a rainbow flag in front of the Supreme Court at sunrise in Washington on Wednesday. The decisions were greeted by jubilant cheers outside the Supreme Court, where crowds of gay-marriage supporters waved rainbow banners and flags bearing symbols of equality, and at City Hall in San Francisco. That decision was also 5-4, written by Chief Justice John Roberts. “It’s a wonderful day for America,” said David Boies, who had argued against Proposition 8. “We have now taken this country in another important step towards guaranteeing the promise that is in our Constitution, in our Declaration of Independence, that all people are created equal.” The ruling on the Defense of Marriage Act means that the federal government must recognize the gay marriages deemed legal by the states — 12 plus the District of Columbia, before the California case was decided. The law helps determine who is covered by more than 1,100 federal laws, programs and benefits, including Social Security survivor benefits, immigration rights and family leave. “DOMA instructs all federal officials, and indeed all persons with whom same-sex couples interact, including their own children, that their marriage is less worthy than the marriages of others,” the ruling said. It added that the law was invalid because there was no legitimate purpose for disparaging those whom states “sought to protect in personhood and dignity.” President Barack Obama, in a post on Twitter, said that the ruling was a “historic step forward for #MarriageEquality.” Kennedy was joined in the majority by the four members of the court’s liberal wing, Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Stephen Breyer, Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan. Dissenting were Roberts and Justices Antonin Scalia, Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito. Scalia, in his dissent, wrote: “We have no power to decide this case. And even if we did, we have no power under the Constitution to invalidate this democratically adopted legislation. The Court’s errors on both points spring forth from the same diseased root: an exalted conception of the role of this institution in America.” Cheers went up outside the Supreme Court, where supporters of gay marriage waved signs, rainbow banners and flags with equality symbols. Under the law, gay couples who are legally married in their states were not considered married in the eyes of the federal government, and were ineligible for the federal benefits that come with marriage. The case before the Supreme Court, U.S. v. Windsor, concerned Edith Windsor and Thea Spyer, a lesbian couple who lived together in New York for 44 years and married in Canada in 2007. When Spyer died in 2009, Windsor was hit with $363,000 in federal estate taxes. Had the couple been considered by the federal government to be married, Windsor would not have incurred those taxes. Kennedy, in the ruling, said that New York’s decision to authorize gay marriage was a proper exercise of its authority, and reflected “the community’s considered perspective on the historical roots of the institution of marriage and its evolving understanding of the meaning of equality.” President Bill Clinton signed the act into law in September 1996. A court ruling in Hawaii had raised the prospect that that state might become the first to authorize gay marriage. At the time, some members of Congress believed that the Defense of Marriage Act might be a compromise that would take the air out of a movement to amend the Constitution to block gay marriage. The ruling comes as states are authorizing gay marriage with increasing speed and with public opinion having turned narrowly in favor of gay marriage. A poll conducted by NBC News and The Wall Street Journal in April found that 53 percent of respondents favored gay marriage, up from 41 percent in 2009 and 30 percent in 2004.

Again???

very timely post on Sunday Funnies. Others I found hilarious as well. Thanks for the link- used to read this interesting that is an https https://bangkokbois.wordpress.com/ love those Sunday Funnies

Even worse, it was on for five years before I "discovered" it in syndication on the science channel. Further, the full version of the theme- the sheet music is not published! The last episode I saw, "Olivia was trapped in another dimension" Fringe Theme FULL.mp3

you could just sign up as cabin boy...

plenty of references in the "bible" - angels using mechanical devices - "wheel within a wheel each acting independently of the other". Moses following a hovering flaming hovering cigar shaped object in the desert. "god" being hidden in a craft and not able to reveal himself. "giants" (bad translation) from above mating with locals. I know there are lots of mistakes in the bible but prefer to think there are "some" core truths as to our development. it wowldn't take much of an advanced intelligence to outshadow what we believe is possible today, considering how little we know in may fields. enough to still appear as "magic/impossible" to us today. So although unproven to me also, I leave the possibility open.

Things You'll Need Knowledge No App needed Push Buttons Show (1) More Instructions 1 Navigate to the application, web page, or iPhone app you'd like the screen grab from so it presents the image you'd like to see captured. You can see in each of the attached images how it works from any application. If the image is one that includes text, you can even type instructions or descriptions on the screen. 2 Now comes the simple step which is built-in to iPhone software version 2.x and doesn't require an additional application to do screenshots. Simply press and hold the "Home" button at center bottom of the iPhone, then press and release the "Sleep" button on top right of the iPhone. This causes the iPhone to "flash" white briefly and the image is added to your "camera roll" on the phone. 3 Navigate to the iPhone "Camera Roll" application and you'll see the screen snapshot you just made as the last image on the roll. It's a high quality image in jpg format which you can email to yourself, so you can save it and upload to your blog or web site. The images come in handy to illustrate step-by-step instructions, as you can see here. ;-)

Don't find UFOs that unbelievable considering the vast number of suns/stars and the vastness of the universe. Actually mathematically probable for more intelligent life with far superior technologies, and more intelligent/logical to believe this than believing in a "magical" religion that the "majority" prefer to believe in. And why would they want to talk to us, still in a technological infancy?

Sorry Christian but the job ad was always in the actual Bkk Post Classifieds newspaper, as I would read it for free @ LCR in Pattaya while people watching in the lobby. Yes if you were already in Sathorn, I can see why differing interests @ internet shops in your area. Just was guessing you were way up i North Bkk having taken that job @ Chulalongkorn that I always was kind of tempted to apply for.

ah sounds like you have fallen into the proverbial "barrel full of cocks" and come out sucking your thumb, so to speak. seriously, half the excitement is in the hunt/chase/window shopping. certainly there must be something local. a pool hall, gym, internet shop, mall to cruise. usually in an internet shop i amazed how many browsers are open to gay.com, gayromeo, etc. further interest in your new profession. guessing it wasn't what you intended. always noted an opening (almost every visit there) in Bkk Post @ Chulalongkorn University for your field of expertise
