The Similan Islands are located 65 kilometers off the coastline of Phang Nga province in southwestern Thailand and were established as a National Park marine reserve in 1982.
"Everything you need to know about the Similan Islands, the history of the islands, how they were named, how to get there, the best time to go and what to do there." The Similan Islands are one of the most beautiful destinations that you will find in Thailand. We have outlined activities that are available, including diving and snorkelling, plus information about the sites you will see both underwater and above. There are details about liveaboards and about sailing in the Similans, with some accommodation options too. All you need to know about these stunning islands on the west coast of Thailand.
Wildlife on the Similans
Although the dinosaurs are long gone since the time the Similan Islands were formed, the sea surrounding the islands is still home to giants of around the same era. Whale sharks and Giant manta rays, a relatively newcomer to the scene at just 50 million years in existence, migrate through the marine national park heading north towards Burmese waters or south down the Malay peninsula.
Ancient reptiles can still be found on the islands themselves. Monitor lizards are frequently seen. They can grow to an impressive size of 3 metres and resemble the famous Komodo Dragons found in Indonesia. As well as the large life that you might be lucky enough to see on the Similans, there are also the smaller critters than clamber across the sand or flit between the trees such as chicken crabs and a vast variety of birdlife.

The history of these islands stretches far back in time. Malay fishermen frequently travelled in this area and would refer to the Islands as the "Nine Islands", the "Sembelan Islands". This is the most common fact about this beautiful part of the Andaman Sea.
"Did you know there is more to the naming of the Similans than just them being named after the Malay word for the Number "nine"?"
The fishermen would travel along the Malay Peninsula, between Malaysia and Burma; this will have been a busy thoroughfare back when borders were not so strictly defined. Undoubtedly they would have encountered the nomadic sea gypsies, also known as Moken, along their way. The Moken hold many fascinating tales, legends and campfire stories about their existence in the Andaman Sea. The Similan Islands feature in one of the central stories to their folklore, the epic poem of Gaman the Malay. This is a masterpiece of Moken oral history and the one which has given the momad society its cultural identity. Koh Bon and Koh Tachai, also in the Similan National Park, are well documented in this story too. It's also interesting to note that the Moken refer to the islands as the Seway Islands, interestingly, this means number 9 in the Moken language.
Even today the Moken still inhabit the coastline and islands from as far south as Phuket, travelling through the Similans to the Surin Marine National Parks and up to as far north as the Mergui Archipelago in Myanmar. Their stories of the Similans hold many secrets from the past, however, when searching for information about the islands it is not these interesting tales that you will readily find.
In the past, during the successful reign of the East India Company and back when Great Britian had a very strong bond with what was then known as "Siam", the British Navy would refer to the Similans as the Seway Islands. When you search for the Seway Islands on the internet nowadays, you will be taken to maps of the Similans.
One of the most fascinating pieces of information about the Similan Islands is the fact that these granite rock formations are so incredibly old.
It is astonishing to learn that this intriguing landscape was formed more than 250 million years ago in the Paleozoic period, a time even before dinosaurs roamed the earth. This was an important period in our planet's geological past. It was a time when the marine environment was dramatically changing, when fish, amphibians and reptiles were evolving. The landscape was changing and it's inhabitants were developing accordingly. The Similan Islands are formed of granitoids, bodies of rock formed by cooled magma. Their appearance is unusual and striking, completely unique. As they have been slowly weathered over the years, these fascinating rocky outcrops are now suspended above and below the Andaman Sea along the coast of Burma and Thailand. A much more detailed geology of the Similans can be found here. It is easy to see this landscape as timeless: when sitting on a Similan liveaboard of an evening, staring out at the beautiful rock formations sat in the Andaman Sea, it is possible to completely lose track of time.
The Similans are a place for ultimate relaxation and stunning natural beauty.
The mammoth boulders that characterise the Similan Islands are just one aspect of this slice of Thailand that is a must see destination. The Islands are an ideal and easy-to-reach destination for dive safaris, sailing and snorkelling trips. They are even perfect for hiking and birdwatching.
"The varied forest systems that are present here and the huge array of both land and marine plant and animal species make this an intriguing and visually breathtaking place to see."
The immense diversity of the islands and marine sites guarantee that each and every visitor has an unforgettable experience both above and below the surface of the water.
Welcome to the Similans!
When you can visit the Similan Islands is strictly controlled by the Marine National Park and the Royal Thai Navy. The Similan Islands are open from November to April and closed May to October. The actual dates vary slightly year to year. For the 2014-2015 Similan diving season the National Park will open on the and will likely close around
When you can go to the Similan Islands is essentially controlled by the annual monsoons that govern Thailand's weather and climate. Khao Lak's high season and when the national park is open coincides with the north-east monsoon, November to April. The wind blows across Thailand from China, bringing with it cooler and dryer air. Off shore winds make for more perfect Andaman Sea conditions. From May to October the weather and climate is controlled by the south-west monsoon. South-westerly winds bring hot, humid air from the Indian Ocean which in turn bring clouds, heavy rainfall and can make for unsafe sea conditions. The Similan National Park close the islands for these six months to give the natural resources time for rehabilitation. Visiting the islands during this time is not only highly dangerous, the Royal Thai Navy strictly enforce the closed policy.
The annual monsoons play a large role in determining the conditions at the Similan Islands. There are also other considerations, especially for scuba divers in planning the best time to visit the Similans, including tides and water visibility.
Many roads lead to Khao Lak, the main point of departure to the Similan Islands. Here is where the adventure begins! From Khao Lak it is short journey to your waiting boat at Thap Lamu Pier. Divers and snorkelers will usually be picked up at their Khao Lak accommodation, or meet at the dive centre, for a group taxi ride to Thap Lamu.
Safari boats also depart to the Similans directly from Phuket, or provide a direct taxi transfer from Phuket to Thap Lamu. Thailand Dive & Sail will gladly advise you of your exact itinerary and best options for travel.
National Park HQ: Situated on the road to Thap Lamu pier, 14 km south of Khao Lak, 4 km off Highway 4
Thap Lamu Pier: 500 m past National Park HQ
From Bangkok: Daily flights to Phuket or Krabi Town with Bangkok Airways, Thai Airways and Air Asia, then taxi or bus to Khao Lak, taxi to Thap Lamu Pier
From Phuket: Taxi, mini-van or hourly bus service leaving Phuket Town to Khao Lak, then taxi to Thap Lamu Pier
From Krabi: Taxi, mini-van or hourly bus service departs Krabi Town to Khao Lak, then taxi to Thap Lamu Pier
The Similan Islands are also home to some of the most interesting and diverse dive sites in Thailand, making it a number one spot for scuba divers who visit the land of smiles. A top holiday destination, Khao Lak is ideally located for visitors wishing to combine relaxation, Thailand's well renowned hospitality and an activity packed trip diving at the best dive sites. There are a number of different options for those wanting to explore the turquoise waters of the Andaman Sea, just off the coast. Whether you are looking for a quick diving fix, a slightly longer overnight trip out to the islands or an extended diving liveaboard, there is something for everyone.
Dive with a smile :)
The first type of diving trip that we would recommend to any scuba fanatics visiting Thailand would be a Similan liveaboard.
This really is the best way to explore all that the Similan Islands have to offer as you have an extended stay within the marine national park and without lengthy daily transfers. Waking up next to a tropical island and getting straight into the water is a special experience, and one that you will only have on an overnight trip or liveaboard safari. This option also gives you the opportunity to take in more of the better dive sites that are situated to further north, Koh Tachai and Richelieu Rock. There is such a variety of marine flora and fauna here that one day is just not enough to experience it all.
If you have only a few days in Khao Lak then an overnight trip is also a good option.
On a 2 day 1 night, or better still – a 2 day 2 night trip, you will get the chance to get more dives in (typically 6 or 7) and will wake up at the dive sites. Usually the shorter overnight trips focus on one area of the Similans; this may be the Similans only, or it might incorporate Koh Tachai, Koh Bon and Richelieu Rock. Either way you will get the chance to expand your dive log and fit 3 day trip's worth of dives into 2 days – meaning only 2 transfers instead of 6.
For those that really are short of time on their holiday, or those popping into Thailand for a mini break (many people do!), then the diving day trip is the best option to maximise your time and fit in some diving too.
As previously stated, Khao Lak is ideally located for diving in the Similans, it's proximity to the dive sites means that it is the best place as a departure point for day trips. A day trip will be via speedboat or catamaran and will involve approximately and hour and a half trip there and back. The Islands that you will visit may be limited, due to the distances travelled. Day trip options include days dedicated to the Similans, Richelieu Rock, Koh Tachai or Koh Bon, or you can try a combine trip to Koh Tachai and Koh Bon on the same day.
Which ever type of trip you choose to visit the Similan Islands, you will not be dissapointed.
This beautiful part of Thailand is one of the main reason why people visit Khao Lak, and if you choose to venture out there, you will see why for yourself.

The best way to experience the Similans is from a Similan liveaboard. Spending a 4 day 4 night trip on board floating accommodation is the ultimate way to see the islands and wake up next to some spectacular views. Most liveaboards moor near the islands at night, meaning that sunset and sunrise have awesome backdrops.
The SY Diva Andaman initially started it's voyages as cruises through the islands, the diving came at a later stage when the activity was more in demand. As a diver visiting the Similans on a liveaboard is the best option as you wake up next to the dive sites, however, if you are not a diver there are still some excellent options that incorporate snorkelling into the itinerary for you, such as the MV Oktavia.
A liveaboard is the best way to stay within the Similan Marine National park very comfortably, but if this is not for you then there are other options. The Similans are an excellent destination to escape from the modern world and lose yourself in the stunning natural surroundings of the islands. Here you can relax on the beach, explore the jungle and view points and snorkel in the shallows off the shores edge.
Similan Islands #4 and #8 even have accommodation options, allowing you to stay well beyond the last speedboat heads back to main land. The accommodation options are simple, with basic facilities and amenities. You can rent a bungalow for a few nights or camp out in a tent under the stars and close to nature. All on-land accommodation is maintained by the National Park head office.

MICHELE NORRIS, host:
When violence hits the classroom and claims several lives, the government, the media, the nation pays close attention. We often see non-stop news coverage, blue ribbon panels, national conferences on school safety. We saw that recently after the shootings at Virginia Tech and we've seen it time and time again after mass killings in Columbine, Paducah, in Nickel Mines, Pennsylvania.
But what happens when the violence is systemic? When the students don't die all at once but over time in several places - a shooting here, a stabbing there, a kid beaten to death with a blunt object?
This week, the Chicago Tribune called attention to the fact that so far this year, at least 27 Chicago public school students have been killed. That comes out to about one death every 10 days.
Stephanie Banchero wrote that story and she wondered what happens to the teachers and the students left behind when violence claims a young life.
Stephanie Banchero joins us now.
Stephanie, please put those numbers into context for us - 27 deaths. Mainly shootings?
Ms. STEPHANIE BANCHERO (Staff Writer, Chicago Tribune): Twenty of those were shootings. We had four stabbings, strangulation, a kid was beaten - but overall, shootings were most of them died.
NORRIS: And age group?
Ms. BANCHERO: Oh, they range. I mean, we had a kid as young as 11 and we had several 19-year-old boys who were in alternative schools.
NORRIS: Now, some might hear this and assume that much of this is attributed to gang violence. Is that the case?
Ms. BANCHERO: Absolutely not. There were several kids that, you know, were involved in gang activities but most of these kids were innocent victims who were killed. The most recent death, a young man, Blair Holt was riding a bus home from school. A kid got on the bus, open fire and shot him accidentally. Another kid was found burned in a van. So, they're not all gang related.
NORRIS: Did any of these deaths actually occur in the schoolhouse building?
Ms. BANCHERO: No. All of them were outside the school.
NORRIS: So you wanted to actually find out what happened inside the school, how schools cope when there's suddenly an empty desk in the classroom. What did you find out?
Ms. BANCHERO: I went into one school - Avondale Elementary School in Chicago -where two boys had recently been stabbed to death by their mother's boyfriend. And both of these boys are very popular - have been at the school for quite a while. And what I found is there's a lot of depression and sadness - and especially with some of the younger kids - just an inability to know how to deal with their feelings. They're afraid to talk about it. A lot of them are still in denial. They don't want to admit that anything happened.
And then another feeling that was quite prevalent at this school is, you know, the am I next? Because many of these kids are similarly situated meaning their at home with single mothers. They were afraid that somehow they would be next. And the counselors and the therapists all have to deal with those feelings that the kids are having.
NORRIS: You say counselors and therapists, does the school system send in extra counselors and therapists after this happens?
Ms. BANCHERO: Yes. Chicago has a very robust and vigorous crisis response team. They send in many people. In this school, they send in at least three counselors. They also contract with some local hospitals that send in nurses and therapists. And they're in the school, at least in this case, for at least three weeks. And now, they're there as long as they feel they're needed.
And in this school, I mean, aside from just the kids, the teachers were completely broken up - one teacher could barely teach. Many of them said, you know, they would walk into a classroom, see the kids and just breakdown.
NORRIS: Was there a certain amount of introspection in the Chicago Tribune newsroom about this story? I mean, when these individual deaths happened, do they make front-page news?
Ms. BANCHERO: Well, some of them did. Like I said, we had 27 kids who were killed - I would say, maybe four or five of them made front-page news. I mean, I'll be honest, some of the kids we didn't even write about. Either because it happened over the weekend and we didn't know it.
NORRIS: But you have a newspaper that does publish over the weekend.
Ms. BANCHERO: Yeah, right. But we didn't know what school they were in. So, you know, often times it's difficult to get information. However, yeah, it definitely caused a lot of introspection in the newsroom about how we cover the deaths of kids.
NORRIS: How do you take those lessons and carry them forward?
Ms. BANCHERO: I think we are - I mean, journalists are often cynical. And, you know, we see - I open the paper over the weekend and I see a 15-year-old kid was shot in what police say was a gang-related dispute. I mean, typically, I'd read past that. It's an awful thing to say but it's true. Now, when I see that I'm going to say okay, you know what? That's a kid.
NORRIS: Stephanie, thanks a lot for talking to us.
Ms. BANCHERO: Thank you.
NORRIS: Stephanie Banchero is a reporter with the Chicago Tribune. So far this year in the city of Chicago, 27 public school students have been killed.

Freedom Trailer (2011)
01 January 2011
Documentary - Freedom invites audiences to not just get mad, but to get motivated, offering serious fuel for thought for empowering people with knowledge and inspiring social change. The film explores the role that Ethanol plays as a homegrown alternative that will boost the domestic economy, create jobs and reduce our need to rely on dangerous and unstable parts of the world for our fuel. There is widespread agreement that America needs to wean itself off oil yet Ethanol has become a lightning rod of controversy. An anti Ethanol coalition made up of both big oil and radical environmentalists stokes the fires of that controversy every day. Debate rages on the pros and cons of Ethanol but what is the truth? - Ed Begley Jr., Tracy Mork, Jason Mraz

First Reaction to the Budget Speech: it is balanced and good. To put it in a different way, it is also 'play-safe and cautious'. And, barring a few aspects, like DDT for REITS, hike in HRA and allowing 100% deduction on profits made by entities constructing affordable houses, it does not seem to have any major 'positive' to bring in vibrancy to real estate.
Second reaction: the real estate sector has been left saying, "Yeh Dil Maange More" yet again. This is the third time that the Hon'ble Finance Minister Shri Arun Jaitley has presented a budget, and his budget speech had precious little for the real estate developer, the home seeker as also all stake holders. When one looks at the Macro-economic aspect, on how effective the budget would be when it comes to enabling larger disposable surplus in hands of the citizen, effectively creating situation where home buying could take off once again, there are no 'big bang' measures from Shri Arun Jaitley.
While there is no doubt that the Hon'ble Finance Minister has the nation's economic growth in mind, he seems to have little to offer to speed up the 'growth story'. In the debate between curbing deficit and powering growth, the Hon'ble Finance Minister has opted for measures which aim at narrowing the deficit in the next fiscal year, while also providing succor for India's Agriculture sector. In his budget speech, the Hon'ble Finance Minister said, "Different schools of thought have argued either in favor of fiscal consolidation and stability or for less aggressive consolidation and for boosting growth," in his 90 minute long speech. "I have made the policy option and decided that prudence lies in adhering to fiscal targets," he said, a move which may ensure another rate cut, even as low global oil prices point to inflation levels which will remain near next year's target. There is no disputing the 'positive aspect' of adhering to fiscal targets, but some more moves to boost growth would have been welcome. Real Estate was expecting infrastructure status so that institutional finance could be accessed, this point does not seems to have made it in this Budget Speech.
Looking at the Budget Speech from the perspective of first-time home buyers, they have been given the benefit of an additional deduction of Rs. 50,000 on home loan interest for loans not exceeding Rs. 35 lakh, where the value of the house is no more than Rs. 50 lakh. Across the peripheral areas of the Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR) and across small cities and towns of Maharashtra, this looks like a positive move, and should result in improved home buying sentiment in real estate hubs where housing comes at lower costs. This might result in some positive sentiment in peripheral and far-flung areas, but when we look at Metro locations, like Thane or Navi Mumbai - I am not even mentioning Mumbai and suburbs here - this deduction will not be sufficient to positively impact sentiment for first-time home buyers, given that there are hardly any locations where the cost of a house is Rs 50 lakh or lower, as such the exemption would not makes any difference to home buyers in Metro Cities.
Secondly, individuals who don't own a house and do not get a house rent allowance as part of their salary, are entitled to an annual tax deduction of Rs 24,000, which the Hon'ble Finance Minister has proposed raising to Rs 60,000. This again is a positive move, but will not positively impact sentiment in real estate.
What are the positives? For one, removing the Dividend Distribution Tax on REITs is a welcome measure, which will help boost inflow of funds in India's real estate sector. I expect millions of dollars to come into India's real estate, this will positively impact India's real estate sector.
Secondly, the Budget Speech had the Hon'ble Finance Minister mentioning measures that will support 'affordable housing', by allowing 100% deduction on profits made by entities constructing such homes. This should ensure Prime Minister Narendra Modi's vision of 'Housing for All by 2022' will move towards becoming a reality.
For me, what is important is something that was not part of the Budget Speech: will we get clarity on GST implementation? To conclude, overall the Budget Speech was 'balanced and good'; but Real Estate did not get most of the expected positives.

Learn about this topic in these articles:
discussed in biography
Each of Kinoshita's feature films is considered a masterpiece of technical craftsmanship. Nihon no higeki (1953; A Japanese Tragedy), a film examining the weakened Japanese family structure, is skillfully constructed by crosscutting between stories and by the effective incorporation of flashbacks.

Can you use more than one theme for the same website?
I'm new to WordPress. I am working on an existing website that already has a theme associated with it. However, I will be creating a new home page and need to have it with a different header and will be changing the existing About pages to the new theme. However, the existing blog (which is currently the home page) needs to retain the current theme it is using. I downloaded a new theme, however, I read that if you Activate the new them, it becomes the new look of the site. How do I create my new home page with the new theme but ensure my existing blog page keeps the already existing theme? Thanks for your help!

Dulce de Leche Ice Cream with Chocolate Shards
Be the first to Write a Review
Prep Time: 25 minutes
Cook Time: 15 minutes
Servings: 10
Dulce de leche is made by boiling milk and sugar until the mixture thickens and caramelizes. A favorite sweet treat in Latin American countries, the name translates as milk candy. Here, dulce de leche is blended into homemade ice cream, then bittersweet chocolate is added at the end of the freezing process.
- 52
- 1 1⁄2 cups heavy cream
- 1 1⁄2 cups milk
- 1 cup dulce de leche
- 6 egg yolks
- Pinch of salt
- 4 oz. bittersweet chocolate, melted and cooled
Directions:In a saucepan over medium heat, warm the cream, milk and dulce de leche, stirring constantly, until the mixture is blended and steam begins to rise from the surface, 4 to 5 minutes.
In a heatproof bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and salt until blended. Slowly add the hot cream mixture, whisking constantly until fully incorporated. Transfer the mixture to a clean saucepan and set over medium-low heat. Cook, stirring slowly and continuously with a wooden spoon or spatula, until the custard thickens and a finger drawn across the back of the spoon leaves a path, 8 to 10 minutes; do not allow the custard to boil.
Pour the custard through a fine-mesh sieve set over a clean bowl. Nestle the bowl in a larger one filled halfway with ice and water and cool the custard to room temperature, stirring occasionally. Refrigerate until chilled, at least 1 hour.
Transfer the custard to an ice cream maker and freeze according to the manufacturers instructions. At the end of the freezing stage, turn off the machine and remove the paddle. Drizzle 2 Tbs. of the melted chocolate over the surface of the ice cream. Let it set for 10 seconds, then fold in the chocolate using 2 strokes of a rubber spatula. Continue folding in the remaining chocolate, 2 Tbs. at a time.
Transfer the ice cream to a freezer-safe container, cover and freeze until firm, at least 4 hours or up to 3 days, before serving. Makes about 5 cups.

Defective-Product Liability Attorneys Advise Injury Victims from Durham and Beyond
Fighting to get you the compensation you deserve in North Carolina
If a defective product has injured you or someone in your family, a product liability lawyer can uncover who is to blame for your injuries. At Lanier Law Group, P.A., we apply our experience, knowledge and access to expert witnesses to help clients pursue claims against manufacturers and designers of defective products. We understand the pain and frustration you are experiencing because of your injury. Our attorneys are ready to guide you through the process of filing a claim for compensation in Greenville or anywhere else in North Carolina.
Common types of defective-product liability cases
Companies that make and sell products in Wilmington and the rest of North Carolina have a duty to make sure their products are free of unreasonable hazards. Yet each year, many defective items are released to market. Here are some examples of common defective product liability cases:
- Automotive defects: If a single component of a car, truck or motorcycle malfunctions, it can cause injury and death to the driver, passengers and other motorists. Common automotive defects include airbags that fail to deploy or that deploys without impact, seatbelts that do not lock and braking mechanisms that fail to engage.
- Pharmaceutical defects: New drugs must undergo rigorous testing before being released. Yet some companies fail to discover dangerous side effects until it is too late.
- Toy defects: A toy can injure a child if it has small parts, is coated in toxic paint or has sharp edges.
Because most manufacturing companies carry products liability insurance to protect them against lawsuits, it's important that you speak with an attorney about your potential claim. Aggressive and experienced, the lawyers of Lanier Law Group, P.A. will provide you with defective product liability representation in Winston-Salem, Burlington, Asheville and throughout North Carolina.
Let a lawyer from Lanier Law Group, P.A. protect your rights and your family

Where are the best cocktails in Washington D.C.?
Answers from Our Experts (2)
Even with the demise of the martini lunch (sigh) Washingtonians love our cocktails. Jeff Faile is a master of spirits, and his talents have fully unfurled at the fabulous Fiola Restaurant. His enormous bar hosts tastings and mixology classes – our favorite is his PhD-worthy seminar on gin. Faile has the goods to back up his talents, with no fewer than a dozen bourbons to pour for any given happy hour. Love a bitter negroni? He has five kinds, including a trendy white version with Cocchi Americano.
Faile's alma mater, Palena, continues its reputation as the bar of record for in-the-know Washingtonians with the city's best Manhattan. For a hip vibe, head to Black Jack for an El Dorado (tequila, habanero, and orange bitters) by the bocce ball court. Or try Jack Rose Dining Saloon for one of the city's largest selection of spirits, with more than one hundred whiskeys alone.
Drink Prohibition-style with the moonshine punch at Brickside Food and Drink in Bethesda, Md. And on Friday and Saturday nights, the Empress Lounge at the Mandarin Oriental has live jazz to accompany your Cherry Blossom Sling Cocktail (vodka and cherry puree). If you're more of a Rat Pack fan, The Graham Georgetown has Pin Up Mondays, with cigars, whiskey, and 1950s tunes.
Craft cocktail culture has become a near ubiquitous term in the vernacular of the well-heeled Washingtonian. In recent years, bars dedicated to the art of mixology have sprung up all over the greater DC area. Here are a few of our favorites:
Todd Thrasher's Old Town cocktail bar has long been a city staple. Open only "when the blue light is on," this small bar above Eamonn's restaurant is by reservation only. Order from a small menu of hand-crafted drinks or have the bartender make something just for you.
The Gibson
Located next to Marvin on 14th and U, this also by-reservation-only bar is known for its ever-changing cocktail menu. One of our favorite parts about this bar? Tell the waiter or waitress what you normally like to drink and the bartenders are always happy to whip up a creative drink just for you.
When acclaimed chef Jose Andres opens a cocktail bar, Washingtonians listen. This new Penn Quarter spot offers more than 100 cocktails on the menu as well as small bites. From a high-tech infuser to hand-cut ice cubes, we're pretty sure you want to drink here at least once.
Columbia Room
The former team from The Gibson opened up a second cocktail shop downtown behind the more casual bar The Passenger. Make a reservation for a "cocktail tasting," which involves creations of the day from the mixologist, plus small bites, for $50.
Best Hotel Cocktails:
Washingtonians love happy hour, and it's only natural that political insiders turn to these classic favorites to continue the workday outside of the office … perhaps with a cocktail or two at their favorite luxury hotel. Here are a few of our favorite spots inside hotels:
Off the Record at the Hay-Adams
It's no wonder that the closest hotel to the White House also boasts one of the city's buzziest bars.Media and political elite alike gather for cocktails in the basement of The Hay-Adams at Off the Record,which is decorated with cheeky political caricatures by cartoonist Art Wood.
Round Robin Bar at The Willard InterContinental
The hotel known for pioneering the term "lobbying" is undoubtedly one of DC's most famous politicallandmarks. It's also home to the tony Round Robin bar, where Senator Henry Clay first popularized thefamous Mint Julep cocktail. Today, Washingtonians and visitors from all over the world join for a scotchor a drink from the "All the President's Cocktails" menu, where you can pick your libation based on the drinks preferred by our former Commander in Chiefs.
Known equally for its discreet staff as for its craft cocktails, this intimate hotel bar is uniquely suited to quiet conversations. Political insiders and VIPs choose to sip their drinks at this lounge decorated in vintage maps of European wine regions to reference the hotel namesake's love of oenology. In warm weather, you'll find guests on the outdoor patio, but in cooler months, the truly interesting discussionstake place in the private nooks just outside the bar's entrance.

What do you mostly use your Hero for?
... out of pure curiosity.
EVERYTHING lol.
Although, I don't take many pictures, so the camera's a little farther down the line than the rest
Mostly talk, but you didn't give an option for updating/general playing...LOL
I use it equally for all of those. Plus, I play games on mine alot when I am waiting on my kids.
Dammit, I forgot GAMES! ... or well It wont let be edit the poll.
How about an "Other" category? I use my Hero more for email than anything else, probably more so than all other options provided above combined.
Forgot Audio and Video (separately), use it a lot for that.
Basically everything, use it for web, mail, text, browsing, games, pdf reading, music listening, pictures, alarm clock, calendar and also... tinkering around the innards of Android... lolz...
That's right i barely use the camera cause i dont like taking pictures, so i use everything expect the camera.
Same here
A better question would be what don't I use it for?
I don't play any games on my Hero besides Word Search. Mostly just texting and browsing the web. Never any phone calls.
reading about the hero
pretty ratarded (the hangove obv) if you think about it
With out my hero my other kidney would have to work extra extra hard. I use it for everything. Its being juiced up now as we speak.
Me too! I am always checking the forum!
LMAO... I spend more time on the forum then using my Hero!
Mainly email, web access, and some note taking, games, etc. I rarely text and even phone use is minimal, usually no more than 2 or 3 short calls a day.
I obviously use my Hero for talking, it is a phone guys. I mainly use Feedr. I check up on Phandroid and other Android website. I also tweet a lot as well. So I actually use my Hero to share information on Twitter and I use it to read rate sheets a lot. Im in the Mortgage business. If your reading PDF files on go, try RepliGo Reader. It's way superior to the stock app PDF Viewer.

This event is all ageshttps://adhocpresents.ticketfly.com/event/1474093/
Dear Nora
gobbinjr is Madison, WI-native turned lil nyc bb Emma Jerk Witmer's unapologetic new project. Her debut album 'manalang' is the blunt, peachy child of Witmer's angsty yet sophisticated approach, creating a bedroom-panorama of earwormy, hazy melodies. While a fair amount of music relies on the spark of collaboration, gobbinjr explores the simplicity of a one-mind/one-voice songwriting process. Witmer keeps to herself, thus she kept her album to herself… writing and recording every single detail of it. The result is one individual's unfiltered, unfettered statement, something so ethereal it nearly transports you into Witmer's own daydreamy world.

I read a lot of reviews before we came and wasn't sure about this property ( I have high standards) but it was perfect for our family. We stayed in a spacious 2BR, 2 bath, full kitchen room, washer and dryer. The staff was very friendly and attentive if you need anything.
The positives were:
1.Clean (rooms and the property)
2.No bed bugs, the mattresses were encased in a zippered linen and very clean. The mattresses were very comfortable.
3. Kitchen was fully furnished with dishes, pans, soap, even salt and pepper.
4. Two pool areas were nice so that it didn't feel crowded
5. I never heard any neighboring rooms next to us or above us through the walls.
6. Very close to downtown and a lot of attractions. Easy to walk everywhere.
7. Grills were available and we used them every other day. Sometimes you had to share it with other guests but it was great to meet others.
8. Towels were plentiful and plush.
The negatives were:
1. Since they kept the property so clean, the maintaince crew were running their leaf blowers a lot. They were loud. We were adjusting to the time zone and slept a little later and the noise made it difficult to do that.
2. Paying for parking
3. Hot tub was broke for three days of our visit but was working before we left.
4. WIFI was nearly impossibile for us to get but I did see other guests in the lobby that were getting it. I was still not able to. High speed internet was available by USB port in the room for a fee.
5. A major road is behind the property. We couldn't see it but you could hear the emergency vehicles that went through several times each day.
Overall we were very happy with this property and felt it met all our needs. I'm so glad we didn't stay in a more expensive resort in a tiny room for the entire week. We would highly recommend this property and would stay again.

Council has a number of services as detailed below. Walcha Council is a progressive rural Council which is responsible for the maintenance of a road network of some 1,150 kilometres.
Council provides the agency for Service NSW (formerly RTA/RMS).
The Council offers a Ready Mix Concrete batching plant, maintains water, sewerage, garbage and recycling services. The Council employs approximately 55 staff plus a number of contractors.
As part of Council's objective of developing the distinctiveness of Walcha, Council has embarked on a project to develop the town as an Open Air Gallery. Already a number of major works of public art have been established in and around the town. View photos of the Open Air Gallery
The Council also operates an extremely comprehensive branch of the Central Northern Regional Library which provides computer and Internet services and carries over 3,000 books at any one time.
The local swimming pool is heated and is opened from November to March.
Walcha is a very picturesque town that has been a regular entrant, and indeed winner in the Keep Australia Beautiful Tidy Towns Competition. The beautification of the town is a priority of Council with many thousands of trees having been planted over a number of years. Council is also responsible for the establishing of several very attractive town parks which entice many travellers to break their journey and spend some time in Walcha.
The Walcha Council maintains an aerodrome with gravel main strip and grass cross strip in 'tip top' condition. The RAAF use the gravel strip on a regular basis for training exercises for their pilots (usually at night).
The Walcha community is very supportive of its residents and district - this is shown clearly by the number of organisations that are running at any one time. When times are tough the residents get behind one another and show a united front.
The Council has common boundaries with the Shires of Armidale/Dumaresq, Uralla, Tamworth Regional, Scone, Gloucester and Kempsey as well as the Municipality of Hastings and the City of Greater Taree.
Large tracts of the Shire (approximately 234,000 hectares or 37%) are non-rateable, these being mainly State Forests (96,000 hectares) and existing and proposed National Parks (138,000 hectares). Approximately 406,000 hectares are given over to agricultural pursuits.

Twinkle Khanna was recently spotted at the airport with her husband Akshay Kumar and cute little daughter Nitara when they returned from Cape Town after vacationing there. She looked refreshed and energetic.
Twinkle was seen wearing a cool piece of clothing and the outfit was apt for wearing while travelling. Twinkle picked a long denim coat with a black T-shirt and black ankle length denim jeans. This lookbook made Twinkle look comfortable and stylish.
Twinkle sported a simple yet classy outfit and teamed it with a brown pair of bellies that had tiger print over it. She also carried a black sling bag on her shoulder and finished the look well with the aviators.
She wore her hair down and nailed the complete lookbook. The outfit made the pretty lady look adorable.
We think the outfit she wore was perfect for travelling. According to us, she looked effortless. What do you think?

Hello All,
I am just wondering how many servings you get out of a 12"x18". I might have a wedding cake to do and I want to give him the option of sheetcakes for the kitchen because they need the cake to serve 400. I thought I could give him the choice of a full cake on display for 400 or just display enough for 200 and then do sheetcakes to make up for the rest. I thought three 12"x18" stacked (so 6 cakes) so they have two layers would work but I just wondered about the serving sizes. Has anyone done this before? How many did you have them serve? Also, how much should I charge for the sheetcakes? They would just be buttercream filled and iced, scored for cutting, with a rosebud on each piece.
Thank you in advance for any help you can give,
If you are doing double layer cakes (4in high) then you should get 100 wedding servings from a cake that size. As far as charging i charge about $1 a serving for those. If they just want it plain iced with no piped flowers on it i would charge more like $80 per cake for that.

Q. My mother sold some mutual fund shares, and we're transferring the proceeds to a bank account. If I'm listed as a joint owner, will I be taxed on the future interest? N.C., Salt Lake City
A. Not if you set up the account the right way. Have the proceeds transferred directly to the bank account. Make sure you list your mother's name first on the joint account and use her name, address and Social Security number. This way, Mom will receive all the bank statements and 1099s—not you. She will be the one required to report tax on the interest income.
Tip: The new bailout law temporarily raises the FDIC insurance limit from $100,000 to $250,000 per account.

Germany withdraws Yemen embassy staff
Germany pulled back all but a "core team" from its embassy in Sanaa.
Berlin: Germany said on Thursday it had
pulled out all but a "core team" from its embassy in Sanaa due
to mounting unrest in the strife-corn country, following a
similar decision by Britain.
The foreign ministry said in a statement that most of
its embassy personnel and their families had already returned
home to Germany, after a travel warning for Yemen issued
February 28 due to deteriorating security.
Only 36 of the 250 registered Germans in Yemen are
still in the country, the ministry said.
"Germans in Yemen are strongly urged to leave the
country due to the difficult security situation," it said,
noting that German aid groups had temporarily evacuated all
their employees and their families.
Britain said Wednesday it was withdrawing all but a
"small core" of staff from its embassy in Sanaa.
Yemeni President Ali Abdullah Saleh has ruled for
more than three decades but now faces an escalating campaign
for his removal.
The parliament on Wednesday approved a state of
emergency declared by the president last week, hours after
regime loyalists gunned down 52 protesters near the
The opposition swiftly rejected the vote as
"illegal" and based on fraud and has called for fresh
demonstrations after Muslim weekly prayers on Friday.

How cool is my University? The above image is a sneak preview of an ad campaign they'll be releasing soon for our graduate program in Writing Popular Fiction, where students can earn a Master's degree for writing a horror novel. Instructors include luminaries in the horror/fantasy genre you might be familiar with, like Tim Waggoner, Gary Braunbeck, Timons Esaias and Lawrence C. Connolly and many others.
We're currently brainstorming "taglines" to go with the above image (like: "Don't fear commercial success.") so if you want to recommend any (before my meeting with the powers that be on 1/28), go right ahead… though we obviously can't pay or credit you, if yours is chosen I'll give you a free copy of one of my books! [Sorry, we're already on it.]

Sales Principles
Sales is the other ingredient of our expertise. Knowing the sales processes intimately (not advertising, not branding, but real human decision-making and action taken for sales closing) means that systems we create are all ultimately geared towards one thing, generating sales.
Whether its improving an invoicing system to make it more efficient, this means faster revenues generated and faster support of the sales team to close deals. If we're improving back end project management, it's to improve the continued sales (client retention) to your existing customers. Strange as it may sound, the impetus of this obsession with efficiency and organization originated from sales. Our expertise in organization originates from a natural and applied expertise in sales and lead generation and (most importantly) acknowledging and addressing the complete disorganization of a 'sales' mind.

When Megastar Chiranjeevi at the end of his speech wished super hit of all Sankranthi films, including `brother' Balakrishna's film, Nagababu's unwarranted emotions against controversial director Rama Gopal Varma and prominent writer Y Veerendranath, has turned controversial now.
He came down heavily on RGV today against the latter's satirical tweets on mega family. Naga Babu called that Varma is an Akku Pakshi and Panikimalini Sannasi. He used same abusive language against Veerendranath. However, both of them responded politely and took it very light stating as some aberrations.

Villaraigosa picks reformed anti-gang cop to be next LAPD chief
Just a few years ago, it would have been unimaginable for the mayor of Los Angeles to name someone from inside the long-troubled LAPD to lead the department. Tuesday, Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa did just that. He chose Deputy Chief Charlie Beck – a reformed hard-driving anti-gang cop – to succeed Bill Bratton in what the mayor's called his most important appointment.
Charlie Beck named as next LAPD chief
A longtime "true-blue" officer raised in a family of cops and who was a Rampart reformer was named the new chief of the Los Angeles Police Department. Charlie Beck will be Los Angeles' next police chief, the mayor announced at an 11 a.m. news conference.

Getting professionals in Singapore to be more active and creative
The National Steps Challenge sought to professionals, managers, executives and businessmen (PMEBs) in Singapore to sit less and move more.
People perceived 10,000 steps to be daunting, thus Health Promotion Board (HPB) had to remind them that walking could happen anytime and anywhere. We needed a communications vehicle that could keep up.
We turned to social media, creating a highly personal social campaign on Facebook, leveraging Singaporeans' love for social photography and the bragging rights of hitting 10,000 steps a day. It was called #MY10KTODAY – the socially acceptable way to walk.
Singaporeans were challenged to show us creative ways to achieve 10,000 steps, and to show us where their 10,000th step took them. All they had to do was to submit their photos via Facebook for a chance to win attractive prizes.
We got social influencers to take part in #MY10KTODAY, taking their followers to Lulu's movie set, the NUS race track, all around Bugis and even Mumbai!
Singaporeans walked over 28 billion steps and there were high awareness scores of over 62% among PMEBs. The influencer content garnered an average of over 2,000 likes per post. These helped the #MY10KTODAY contests attract 1,077 entries and 13,016 votes!
