A great pair of black denim.
I'm barely 5'4'' and weigh around 130. I noticed there were mixed reviews regarding the sizing. I went ahead and purchased my size (27) and it was a perfect fit. It is quite a high rise - above my belly button! I think if I ordered a larger size it would be far too big for my waist. The inseam length is wonderful because as I mentioned I am short. I love black denim/pants and am quite picky. So far I love the look, fit, and price. I only hope the color does not easily fade!
Sizing: True to Size / As Expected

Nice fit
nice fit but these run smaller than some of my other Blank denim. I ordered a 26 which is my normal size but I will exchange for 27. I was able to fit into them all the way but I needed a bit more room. I have kinda thick thighs though. If your legs are skinny, just order regular size.
Sizing: Smaller than Expected

High waist is awesome!
I love Blank Denim and almost always wear a size 27. (5'8, 120lbs). It seemed from the reviews that I should size up, so I did and it was just right. The 28 is perfect and the best part about these jeans is that they don't sag! I get so tired of hiking up my jeans after wearing them for 20min. I will say that the inseam is very short and these come to about mid calf on me. All in all a great purchase.
Sizing: Smaller than Expected

Blankety blank blank.
Usually a 28 in stretchier brands, I got the 29 in these, and it's perfect. They are definitely very thin material, as someone else noted. Very flattering, and comfortable. I'm 5'7-8 and the length is perfect. The front pocket are faux, which I hate, that's the reason I docked a star.
Sizing: True to Size / As Expected

good price for these jeans
I love the high waisted design. The fabric is thin and soft, strechly, 5'3 and 105 lb buy 25, fit very good, the butt part is not so good as j brand and siwy, however the price is much better than those.
Sizing: True to Size / As Expected

Awesome pants!
Love these pants! Love the high waist. I can actually sit down without the fear of showing too much!! They are very slim and perhaps a little on the small side but I still ordered my regular size.
Sizing: True to Size / As Expected

Not for me!
Loved the stretch on these jeans. Unfortunately they had to be returned as the description on Shopbop's website stated that the inseam was 27 inches but in fact the 5 inch Blank Denim tag attached to the jeans stated that the inseam was 29 inches. I was planning to wear them for a more dressier occasion and didn't want to have to roll up the leg so they had to go back. These are not your typical heavier weight cotton jeans, these are much thinner and would not be suitable for Canadian winters! I normally wear a 29 in Citizens and this is what I ordered but I found them to be slightly tight in the waist area and would have felt more comfortable going up a size.

good black pant
I bought these in a size 25 because I am usually a size 25 in most brands. I kept them, but I could have gotten the 24. They are a little longer in person then on the model in the picture so I just have to roll them once at the bottom. Recommend.

Eighth Grade Literature Program
KHMS 8th Grade News | Posted AUG 19 2010
During the course of the 2010-2011 school year we may use or make available to students material in video or text form that may contain mature themes, content or language.
When appropriate, PG and PG-13 movies, clips of movies, or documentaries are used to enhance our curriculum or as a positive behavior incentive. These films may illustrate concepts such as literary terms that we are studying in class, enhance our understanding of themes that have emerged from our reading, or provide information on historical figures and time periods relevant to our studies.
Since students will be selecting their own materials and novels for independent study projects, we cannot review all of the novels for graphic language or questionable content. We could limit students� choices to novels that we�ve previewed, but we do not want to limit students to a small selection of literature that may not appeal to their interests. Therefore, we cannot promise students won�t run across something that may not be appropriate for their maturity level. We will offer students literature of the highest quality by classic and contemporary authors who are highly acclaimed, winners of Nobel Prizes and National Book Awards. However, if you and your student, after reading a portion of the novel selected, find it offensive or inappropriate, we would be more than happy to assist in selecting another novel.
We want you to be aware of what your students may be viewing or reading.
Please review the attatched file for the available novels. More »

Yeah, I don't discuss it there either, just an observation [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
yeah there hasnt been much interesting lately up...however i find there's often little need to discuss religion. sometimes some theories may cause you to want to discuss them, but i think joe's right in disallowing it.Yeah, same here. I find I've been spending a lot more of my time bumping up old topics, or going to the Nightwish forums. (Dudes, they're alowed to discuss religion! They have a whole topic about it! And everyone seems pretty civil about it)I guess there has just been an influx of topics that don't really interest me popping up.
im still on daily, but since my album survivor finished i havent done too much.

WOW! That's alot! That's even more than Psycho Man! 11,000!
As for me, too much! I spend most of my time on my guitar, but if i'm not on that I normally come on here and do youtube videos, because my dad only likes the music I like, it's great to talk to other people on here that are into the same music as me ...
BTW I never there was a forum at Iommi.com! Gonna sign up now!
I usually check in daily. I may not post every day, but I lurk everyday.

Too often. If it's really quiet at work I'll visit 5 or 6 times and another couple of times in the evening - I could be on-line anytime from 0745 to 2330 (GMT).
hehe... this is my homepage :D so I visit this site maybe 2-3 times a day, currently 1.5 posts a day and increasing! Though I signed up not so long ago, I have quite few friends that like sabbath so everything I wanna discuss about them I discuss here :D really really nice forum I must say, thank you Joe

Michael Scofield is a fictional character on the Fox hit show Prison Break. Throughout the course of the series, Scofield was in and out of different infirmaries and doctor's offices.
In season one, Scofield is forced to visit the infirmary after burning his chest on a hot pipe in a prison boiler room. He discovers that the infirmary is the weakest point in the prison, so he fakes having diabetes in order to gain access more often.
Season two takes place outside of any prison settings, and Scofield is much less injury prone.Is

Lost: If you didn't get into Lost the first time around you're in for a treat. This classic thriller/drama is now available in its entirety on DVD or on Demand which means you've got about 8 seasons of shows to catch up on.
The Walking Dead: It's similar to Prison Break in its in-depth character assessments and there's a lot of action, too. It's set in rural Georgia which makes it the perfect transition for Prison Break fans and those just looking for a great show to get into!
Heroes: It's since gone off the air but a lot of the Heroes demographic transitioned to watching Prison Break. It's got all the twists and turns you'd expect from ABC and some supernatural stuff, too, which is what really makes it worth watching. Well, that and Hayden Panetierre.

Why did Fernando get buried alive? It's a mystery! I truly believe bad things happen to good people, or in this case almost good people. Obviously for dramatic reasons, but never-the-less, Fernando was buried alive for trying to be the most amazing friend anyone could ever ask for. Prison pals or not, who wouldn't want a friend to take a bullet, knife or literally buried alive for you? Maybe he (Fernando) feels as though this is his way of paying it back. Helping out whenever he's needed to. Taking the risks that no one

There was a great deal of romance between Sara Tancredi and Michael Schofield on the show, Prison Break. The two first met when Michael was already in prison, and Sara was the doctor that was assigned to him. She would check him up and also was going to do another check up on him, before his brother's execution. He managed to use her in a way that would get him the tools he needed to escape. At first their relationship was based on him using her, but once he got himself and his brother out of jail, he managed

Rarely has the viewer experienced a character such as T-Bag. He is a villain at its best. He preys on young prisoners to fulfill his own sexual needs and doesn't care who knows it. He is responsible for at least one of these young men's suicides. Somehow he manages to weasel his way into Michael's escape plan by sheer luck of good old eavesdropping. T-bag is the man viewers love to hate. When T-bags hand was

Throughout the course of the show there were many attempts to prove Lincoln Burrows was innocent of killing Terrence Steadman, the Vice-President-s brother. Michael obviously undertook the most dramatic attempt when he broke into Fox River State Penitentiary. That set into motion a series of events leading to the brothers- discovery of the audio file featuring Steadman-s reference to framing Lincoln. The audio file was proof of Lincoln-s innocence, and in "Sweet Caroline'

Is it possible to erase the huge 1A..IB etc and have large song title instead..I was squinting down on Saturday and I can't see the song names. Cheers!
No - you can't get the song (preset) name to display in large font.
Many thanks mate..shame though. You've just saved me a load of time.
I'm glad I wasn't the only one who wondered if this was possible.
On my setlist I just put the patch number next to each song.
Big font for the songname no, you can't.
When you first wrote "huge 1A" I thought of something extremely simple that may help.
If I didn't understand you wrong, YES, I do have the patches with the entire name of the songs with the same font of the "1A, 1B..." but not that big but completaly easy to read during a gig (if you don't wear glasses lol).
You know that the display has 3 modes of view, right? Look at your display with the POD on and press one time the button "View". It will switch the display mode.
So there are 3 view modes:
1) The HUGE "1A, 1B"...,
2) with the name of the patch and the chain you're using;
3) with the 4 blocks (dyn, dist, mod, reverb).
To change the view modes just press the button VIEW on the left of the display
I hope this may help a little...
Many thanks for all your help. Very grateful.
Stay in the mix and in the know.

Situated southeast of downtown, this area's funky cafés, secondhand shops, and record stores make for an engaging stroll. The Hawthorne Street, Belmont, and Antique Row districts draw foodies and bargain-hunters alike. Stumptown Coffee Roasters serves as a shrine for local coffee lovers. Other sites of note include the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry and Mt. Tabor, an extinct volcano.

"Good place to crash"
On the way back from camping for a week at Crater Lake, we stopped to overnight and do some shopping in Portland. Shower was great although the bathroom was wide open to the room with the exception of the toilet. Have stayed in this hotel many times before beginning when it was a Best Western...the quality is still the same.

"Hotel is Nicely Maintained."
I stay at hotels every week for my job. I will say that this hotel is average and the price on hotels.com is well worth the stay at this hotel. The cleanliness and maintenance is well kept. I did not partake in the continental breakfast so I can't comment. I will add that getting to and from this hotel is a little difficult because of the one way street.

Our room was clean, quiet and comfortable. The television was small but worked fine. The complaint I had was with the continential breakfast.

I booked a room at the Clackamas Inn because the Courtyard Marriott and The Monarch were booked. My non-smoking room had cigarette butts right outside the door, ALL of the TV channels were fuzzy, the bed was hard as a rock, the pillows were 1/2 size and the traffic noise was horrible. Never again.Hotels.com 真实住客点评
"Claskamas Sunnside Inn easy to find"
The rooms were clean, with room to move around. I was vacationing with four kids and was given a big bathroom, that was a very nice add, there was heavy drapes at the window, which was, also, great, it helped keep out the highway noise, The staff during the week was very helpful, however, the weekend staff could use some classes in customer service. The […] breakfast was well balanced, both during the week and on the weekend, now again the week day staff made sure, breakfast food was refilled in a timely manor, over the weekend, we had to ask for dishes to be refilled. This is a good size hotel and the dining area is small with to short of hours for breakfast. An extra hour would have been helpful. On Sunday morning we had no water. Now I know that problems happen, but I was not offered another room for a shower or anything else unit I checked out or was I offered any thing for my inconvenice. By the time I checked out, I was packed and ready to go home and again the staff was not very friendly. If I were traveling during the week to this area, I would gladly stay at this hotel, but I would think twice before staying weekend days. The hotel was close to shopping, easy to find, overall, for the price I paid, I got my monies worth, but I think I still should have been given a free night with my next stay for not having water on Sunday morning! 阅读更多信息Hotels.com 真实住客点评

"Very Disappointed!!"
I have stayed at this motel on numerous ocassions in the past and was always very happy with the accomodations but this time was certainly less than I had hoped! This time I was in a wheelchair and the rooms for handicapped patrons was quite inaccessable - down hill in the middle set of rooms which made it fine going down but coming back to the car […] was a real effort. Then, there was the problem of getting the luggage to and from the room because the handicapped parking was a distance from the room and again down and back up the hill. The room was not very clean with a terribly stained carpet that made one worry about what you might be sleeping with! The outside condition of the building was quite delapidated and I should have looked more closely at that before checking in. The first room I was given was so small and crowded I could not move in my chair so complained to the front desk and was moved to another room. I was still not very happy with that as I had ordered a wheelchair assessable room and I could not get in or out of the shower safely. This motel needs a lot of work and I would not recommend it to anyone until or unless this work was done. I will not be staying here again unless they "clean up their act"!!!! 阅读更多信息Expedia 真实住客点评

While the Managers were very nice the two dead bugs in the bathroom, as well as the stale smell was a turn off. Most likely the room had not been used for a while and that is probably why it was in the shape it was in. Kind of disappointing but it was convenient. Will try another hotel in the same area next time.Hotels.com 真实住客点评

I stayed at Clackamas Sunnyside Inn many years ago, the great experience I had then is what brought me back again and once again I was very pleased with my stay and will continue to stay at this location every trip I make to Portland.

"For sure would stay again"
The only bad thing was that it is located on a one way street. Once you figure out the location craziness, it was great! The freeway traffic is pretty loud also.Expedia 真实住客点评
Hotel is perfect for a weekend getaway. Very close to shopping and dining. Hotel staff very pleasant and accomodating. I was very worried because reviews I've read said it was next to the freeway and noisy. Noise level was not an issue at all. Surrounding area was perfect for a nice walk. The only issue we had was that we were given a non-smoking room […] (and it was clearly marked as such on the outside of our room door) but the room smelled smoky, ashes were found in the bathroom and cigarette right outside of the door. We informed the person and the front desk and she apologized profusely and offered another room. Talk about customer service! We'll definitely stay here again the next time we're in Clackamas. 阅读更多信息Expedia 真实住客点评

"A disappointment"
We stayed in this facility three years ago when it was a Best Western. It is now a Howard Johnson's facility and has gone downhill since we were last there. The front office staff was friendly and took care of our issues in a timely and professional manner. We stayed six nights while attending a school reunion and other family events. The continental […] breakfast was boring in that the same food was offered every morning. There was no variety. The security light outside our room was burned out and never replaced. The cleanliness of the room was suspect. Dust balls behind the toilet door and in the corner by the room air conditioner/heater were there when we arrived and still there when we checked out. The fiberglas tub had been repaired and had a low spot about halfway back. Consequently, water pooled there and did not drain. There were two large spots of mold under the rim of the sink in the bathroom. I did advise the staff of those as we were checking out. I had not noticed them until the morning of our departure. That probably explained the moldy smell in the bathroom. My family and I will not stay at that facility again. 阅读更多信息Expedia 真实住客点评

First room toilet didn't flush,, moved us to the top floor, tried opening the blind and it fell off ,room to be a non-smoking room, but was very smelly like at one time it was used for a smoking room and they didn't change out the carpets etc. Traffic noise was very loud all night. Breakfast on Sunday only went until 9 am, should go longer we wanted […] to sleep alittle late and did not get to the breakfast in time.

I was traveling with my father, who is in a wheel chair. I requested an ADA room, which has never been an issue in the past. When we went to check in, they tried giving us a room that had steps to it. When I asked about the ADA room, I was told they didn't have any available despite our confirmation specifially stating it was to be an ADA accessable […] room. This hotel used to be a Best Western and I stayed there many times over several years and was always pleased with the service. About a year ago they changed hands and became a Howard Johnson, and the service went down hill. I will never stay at this hotel again, and I woud no longer reccomend it to anyone. We ended up getting a room at the Monarch Hotel down the street, and I was nothing but impressed with their service and quality of room. 阅读更多信息Hotels.com 真实住客点评

The Department of the Navy is establishing Enterprise Licensing Agreements (ELAs) with IT hardware and software vendors to achieve cost savings, improve management, streamline procurement and enhance security. The DON ELAs are negotiated and centrally managed by the DON. As stated in the Feb. 22, 2012, memo, "Mandatory Use of DON Enterprise Licensing Agreements," signed by the Department of the Navy Chief Information Officer, the Assistant Secretary of the Navy for Research Development and Acquisition, and the Assistant Secretary of the Navy for Financial Management and Comptroller, all DON organizations and programs are required to use DON ELAs when the ELA offers the required hardware, software or service products. All DON ELAs and associated procurement policies are posted to the Program Executive Office for Enterprise Information Systems PMM-110 portal page.
The purpose of this memo is to clarify the manner in which SECNAVINST 5230.15, "Information Management/Information Technology Policy for Fielding of Commercial Off the Shelf Software" applies to Microsoft products. Microsoft SA is provided under Microsoft's licensing model and provides features essential to prevent operational and security vulnerability risks posed by unsupported software.
The purpose of this joint memorandum is to announce the mandatory use of Department of the Navy Enterprise Licensing Agreements (ELAs) by all DON organizations and programs to achieve maximum cost savings. Effective immediately, where a DON ELA exists, any software products, hardware and related services offered by that ELA must be procured using that ELA, including those procured by government purchase cards. Further, ...
Several sessions originally scheduled to take place during the DON IT Conference in San Diego will be held virtually via Defense Connect Online (DCO). The DCO service is the designated enterprise tool provided to all Department of Defense partners, allowing users to communicate and share information in a secure forum. Registration for these sessions is not required.
Chances are you've seen the TV ad for a used-car company that begins with a potential buyer looking for "a car." He is suddenly facing a sea of automobiles, which he narrows down by being more specific: "A red car. With good gas mileage. With four doors." And so on. This is a good example of what we in the IT world call "transparency." Contrary to common misconceptions, data transparency does not mean access to all ...
"We can't solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them." Albert Einstein said these words two generations ago, and yet they ring even more true today. But, we must not stop there. While it is vital that we use current solutions, best practices and technologies to enable our immediate success, we must also maintain a steadfast eye on the horizon for future requirements, industry trends ...
Per the recently signed Microsoft Department of the Navy enterprise licensing agreement, all procurement of Microsoft brand software licenses including software assurance (SA), SA only, and subscriptions and SA-step up (SASU) for desktop and server based products must be acquired through the Microsoft DON enterprise licensing agreement (ELA) if that product is offered by the DON ELA.
Use of enterprise license agreements (ELAs), where available, is mandatory by all Department of the Navy organizations and programs with the release of a joint DON memo. These enterprise agreements optimize cost savings by leveraging the full purchasing capacity of the department.

Wheaton Costco Opening Date Moves Forward
The Costco at Westfield Wheaton will open a few days earlier than planned this spring.
The Costco in Wheaton has a new opening date, according to a spokeswoman for Costco: April 10.
This Wednesday opening date is a few days earlier than the one Costco announced at the end of January. Costco's originally scheduled October 2012 opening at the mall in Wheaton was delayed because of unspecified construction issues.

Westfield Wheaton has already had Costco signage in place around the mall property for months, with a "coming soon" notice affixed. The membership warehouse store will inhabit the anchor spot previously occupied by a Hecht's department store.
After the delays in the fall, the Costco store was expected to open in March or April, according to a transcript of an earnings call by the Costco Wholesale Corporation CEO.

I believe there's a Costo sign-up station at Wheaton Plaza, near where the Costco will open.

Unless they have moved, which I doubt, since the last time I was at the Plaza, Costo has a membership office in the Plaza not too far from the Hallmark store on the second level in the same wing as the new Costo. Costo is o.k. but we don't need the
polution and long lines from a gas station. We have enough gas stations in Wheaton now. If you really need Costo gas - go to Laurel.

No I want cheap gas in Wheaton! The gas station will be built, trust me.

The Romeny's have been customers at Costco for years, as he stated in the election campaign. He would have made sure that Costco was approved for a gas station in Wheaton. Maryland as well as Montgomery County is Democratic and it's pay back time for the next four years , you might as well get used to it..

Actually Costco is considered the Democrats counter to Walmart because they pay living wages with benefits for all employees. So although the Romneys may have a Costco membership, the company itself is more pro Democrat. 96% of the money given to candidates in the 2012 election cycle by Costco employees was to Democrats.

David , you have that backwards. It is the DEMS that are the low wage profiteers and the ones who desperately want to bring more "immigrants" over to get paid under the table while unemployed Americans are passed over even for Wendys jobs. It works for your new ruling elite.
When you say that silly sentence like "although Romneys MAY have a .." You are hoping the dummed down see his name as a knee jerk insult like other terms you have been trying to co-opt in an Orwellian way

To put it simply, Bangkok can seem like a labyrinth to new arrivals in the city. The sprawling expressways and overpasses, huge new Skytrain and crowded streets full of vendors give the place a distinct Blade Runner-esque feel. Causing even further confusion is the lack of a true "center" to the city, with various districts scattered throughout town. On the positive side, the Skytrain has made it much easier to get around, and taxis, tuk-tuks, buses and motorcycle taxis are plentiful. Get your bearings by reading the following guide and it will not take long for you to be seduced by the glorious chaos and charm of the "City of Angels."
Phra Nakorn
The most heavily visited area, at least during the day, is Ko Rattanakosin (Rattanakosin Island), Bangkok's old city on the eastern bank of the Chao Phraya River. Here you will find fantastic examples of historical architecture such as the glittering
Bangkok was once referred to as "The Venice of the East," but today the klongs, or canals, are concentrated in Thonburi, an area lying to the west of the Chao Phraya River. You can take a klong tour, typical stops include
Banglampoo & Thewet
Backpackers head for the
The Dusit district offers plenty of tourist attractions.

The Sathorn/Silom area forms the core of Bangkok's Central Business District, although the Stock Exchange of Thailand is located some distance away on Ratchadaphisek Road. The area encompasses a number of embassies and hotels, such as the Banyan Tree,
If you head west along Sathorn or Silom Road, you will come to Charoen Krung ("New") Road and back to the Chao Phraya River. A tram used to run along this road, but these days hardly anything does - the traffic is too thick! This is another popular hotel area, with such luxurious hotels as
Chinatown & Pahurat
North along the river lies hectic

Thai cuisine has spread across the globe in the past three decades at an unprecedented speed. The reason is not hard to fathom -- the food is absolutely delicious. There are two types of Thai cooking: royal Thai cuisine and "common" fare. The former is traditionally served to royalty, and usually garnished with exquisitely carved fruits and vegetables. "Common" Thai food is what Thais eat every day. Each of the four regions in Thailand has a distinct cuisine, but unless you are dining in a restaurant specializing in regional cooking, you are likely to find a blend of cuisines on most menus.
In the central region, the food is known for being hot, salty, sweet and sour. Dishes such as nam phrik (dips) and soups served with boiled rice are standard fare. In the northeastern region, sticky rice is the staple accompaniment to such popular dishes as som tam (green papaya salad), gai yang (barbecued chicken) and laap (salads of meat and fresh herbs). Much of the street food in Bangkok is from the northeast, due to the large number of vendors coming from the region. Food from the north tends to be mild, salty and sour, but not sweet. Fermented sour pork sausages (you can see them being barbecued on the street) are a favorite. In the south, fish and sour curries (without coconut milk) are the normal diet.
Phra Nakorn
There are plenty of restaurants in this district where you will find the best in Thai cuisine. Phranakorn Bar & Gallery has a popular rooftop bar where the drinks are reasonably-priced. Be sure to try an authentic Thai whiskey and enjoy the local, contemporary music playing in the background. The restaurant Thiptara built on the Chao Praya River has been made to resemble a traditional Thai compound. Rim Nam Terrace can be found within the Royal River Hotel, and serves local Thai cuisine in a modern dining room. The tiny and ancient Chote Chitr has been turning out court style food for over 90 years while the Brick Bar serves up beer and satisfying Thai snacks.
On the other hand, if it is international cuisine you are hungry for, Bangkok will satisfy you all the same. From Indian to Greek, Middle Eastern and Latin — name your cuisine and somewhere there will be a waiter ready with an appropriate menu. Sample Pacific Rim offerings at Jesters or riverfront Supatra House. Enjoy Cantonese favorites at Mei Jiang. Trader Vics Polynesian bar in Bangkok is always ready to welcome the wayfaring traveler.
If you're in the mood for fresh seafood, try Harmonique, where the menu is Thai and the main ingredient is fish. Good places to start your Thai culinary adventure include Baan Khanitha, where the food is a favorite of locals and visitors alike. Large hotels usually have excellent Thai restaurants, among them the Celadon. While European restaurants are relatively new on the scene, there has been a recent boom in Italian cuisine, with oldies such as Angelini's attracting huge crowds. Several French restaurants have also opened to rave reviews, one of the best is Le Café Siam. Coffee is enjoying a boom in Bangkok, and although Starbucks may now be everywhere, other chains like Au Bon Pain are springing up with great success.
Then there are the "international" restaurants serving Asian and Italian-inspired dishes, but which refuse to be easily pigeonholed: Eat Me and Indigo are just two that defy labels. Bangkok's pubs and bars are up there with the best, although it is worth noting that steep taxes on wine push even basic table vino into the expensive bracket. At its very core, Bangkok is a beer-and-whiskey town. In many establishments you can order a bottle of whiskey which will be kept for your next visit. There are a number of micro-breweries to keep ale lovers happy and plenty of bars for spirit sippers, such as the more upmarket Barbican.
Then there are the pubs where live bands play popular Thai songs and, at some stage in the evening, the ubiquitous Hotel California. Henry J Bean's is just such a pub. Note that pubs and bars in Bangkok serve delectable food, making an evening of bar-hopping a fine way to pass the time. Try the area around Phra Arthit Road or Narathiwat Soi 15.
Bangkok is dotted with literally hundreds of eateries and nightspots. Do not be afraid to be adventurous because it is difficult to find a bad meal in the "City of Angels." In fact, dining and drinking will most likely become one of the highlights of your trip here.
In just over 200 years, Bangkok has grown from a small collection of villages scattered among canals and rice paddies alongside the Chao Phraya River to an enormous sprawl of a capital. Extending upward and outward to become Thailand's dominant city, Bangkok mirrors the long, continuing reign of the Chakri dynasty that founded it. The seeds of this growth were sown back in 1767 when invading Burmese armies razed the old capital of Ayutthaya by tearing down its temples. Those that survived, including the royal family, were carted off as slaves. Out of this chaos, a Thai general named Phraya Thaksin founded a new capital at Thonburi on the western bank of the Chao Phraya River, opposite modern Bangkok, proclaimed himself king and immediately set about recapturing much of the surrounding country. One of the few surviving legacies from this period is Wat Arun, or "Temple of the Dawn." It has since been enlarged and reconstructed, but was originally part of Thaksin's royal temple.
Following his military successes, Thaksin became more and more excessive in his behavior and was finally ousted in a coup that transferred power to another general, Chao Phraya Chakri. Chakri kicked off the modern history of Bangkok by transferring the capital from Thonburi to the eastern bank of the river, founding Bangkok in 1782 on the fortified island of Ratanakosin. Chakri refurbished many of the existing temples in the area, such as Wat Po, and built present-day tourist sites, including Wat Phra Kaew, the Grand Palace and Lak Mueang, the shrine dedicated to the guardian deity of Bangkok. The National Museum, built originally for Chakri's vizier Prince Wang Na, also dates from this period.
Under Chakri and his successors, Bangkok continued to expand, mainly because of trade. New communities such as Yaowarat (mainly Chinese traders) and Pahurat (the Indian quarter) were established, extending outward from Ratanakosin. The third king in the Chakri dynasty, Phra Nang Klao, developed a new system of royal titles, naming himself Rama III and his predecessors Rama I and Rama II. Rama III was responsible for expanding Wat Pho and Wat Arun to their present form and also initiated the aborted construction of Wat Saket, the spectacular Golden Mount Temple, completed further down the line by Rama V.
Rama IV, also known as Mongkut, is probably best known by Westerners as the ruler in The King and I and the more recent Anna and the King. Thais tend to find these interpretations offensive and growing evidence now suggests the accounts of Anna Leonowens, on which the movies were based, to be pure fiction at best. The real Rama IV was a brilliant leader who skillfully negotiated treaties with foreign powers that prevented the colonization of Thailand. Under his reign, Bangkok benefited from his trade policies with an expanded port and, for the first time, paved streets.
Rama V (also known as Chulalongkorn or "The Great King") took on the throne in 1868 at the age of 15 and continued his father's reforms, setting down the foundations for the modern Thai government as well as moving the royal palace to Dusit and building Bangkok's first railway system. The grounds of his old Chitlada Palace feature the Vimanmek Teak Mansion and the Abhisek Throne Hall, both excellent examples of royal Thai architecture. During this time, both the Victory Monument and Democracy Monument were constructed to designs by Corrado Feroci, an Italian credited with helping found Thailand's modern art movement. Rama V's long reign brought peace and stability to Thailand and his death in 1910 ushered in a period of great change. The first in a long series of coups was launched unsuccessfully in 1912 by a group of disgruntled soldiers. Another coup in 1932 by Western-educated students proved more successful, ending the absolute monarchy and replacing it with a constitutional model.
Rama VII abdicated in 1935, leaving the 10-year-old Rama VIII in his place. Power passed into the hands of Field Marshall Phibun, the first in what would prove to be a long line of military dictators. Probably one of the best examples of 1930s architecture is the Neilson Hays Library in downtown Bangkok. Phibun allied with the Japanese during World War II, sparing the capital from destruction, but lost his position of absolute power to a democratic civilian government after the war. He regained absolute power under murky circumstances surrounding the death of Rama VIII.
The current King Bhumibol (Rama IX) was crowned in 1946, and the first few decades of his reign were marked by the rise of communism in Indochina, leading to growing American military aid and a continuing succession of military dictators. The enduring legacy in Bangkok of this time are the bars of Patpong and Soi Cowboy, which catered to American soldiers on R & R from Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos. Another reminder of this turbulent time is Jim Thompson's House and Museum, preserved exactly as the silk magnate left it when he mysteriously disappeared.
In 1973, massive student demonstrations forced General Thanom, the military ruler, to leave the country. A civilian government took over, but lasted only until 1976, when more student demonstrations against the return of Thanom were brutally crushed by right-wing forces fearing a communist takeover. General Prem Tinsulanonda, a moderate, took power in 1980 and is credited for leading Thailand out of this mess, granting amnesty to the communists and overseeing a period of growth and stability that turned Bangkok into the vibrant modern capital it is today.
One downturn in this trend of liberalization has been another military coup in 1991, overthrown the following year by bloody Bangkok street demonstrations. Since then, a succession of four civilian governments has seen the capital enjoy a much more stable political climate. The only other crisis of note was the 1997 Asian economic meltdown, whose legacy is still apparent in scores of unfinished condominiums and office towers.
In 2006 amidst widespread protest and accusations of human rights abuses, Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra, who came to power with the Thai Rak Thai Party in 2001, was removed in a bloodless coup, staged while he was out of the country. Political turmoil has continued to show itself in street demonstrations and most visibly with the blocking by protesters of aiport and transit links in late 2008.
Bangkok offers a wide variety of accommodations to suit every taste and budget. A visitor can live royally in an elegant five star hotel or stay comfortably in a guest house on a modest budget. Since many hotels are often fully booked during the peak season from November to March, it is recommended that visitors make advance reservations if they plan to visit during this time.
The main hotel districts are around Siam Square and Ploenchit Road, next to the Chao Phraya River, along Silom Road and Suriwong Road, and along Sukhumvit Road. There are other areas such as Banglampoo where backpackers favor inexpensive guesthouses. More inexpensive accomodation is available across the river where some modern high-rise hotels are planned and in Chinatown, which is one of the most vibrant and typically Asian parts of Bangkok.
Siam Square and Ploenchit Road
In the area around Siam Square, you will find some very nice places to stay, along with a whole variety of shops, restaurants and nightspots. The less expensive places are concentrated on Soi Kasemann 1 and near Jim Thompson's House and Museum. These places, such as Wendy House, offer a guesthouse atmosphere with hotel comfort.
In a quiet enclave opposite Siam Square stands an elegant low-rise modern Thai building, the classy five-star Siam InterContinental. Another nearby luxury hotel is the Amari Watergate Hotel, near the World Trade Center. The Grand President Bangkok is a 30-year-old landmark aimed primarily at business travelers. Next to the Erawan Shrine and across from the Central World Plaza, you will find the Grand Hyatt Erawan, another stylish five-star hotel. Reputation precedes itself at Four Seasons Bangkok while less expensive accomodation can be found at the well known Indra Regent and Bangkok Palace.
Chao Phraya River, Silom Road and Suriwong Road
This district encompasses some of the older sections of Bangkok. The area around Silom Road and Suriwong Road is considered the financial district, and has a number of hotels and restaurants not far from the Patpong Night Market with its easy shopping and entertainment. For a centrally located top-class hotel geared for both business and leisure, try the Dusit Thani on the corner of Silom Road. Then there are two luxury establishments, the Montien Bangkok features a distinctly Thai character, and the Sukhothai, which boasts an elegant decor inspired by the walled city of Sukhothai.
Continue farther west, and you will reach the riverbank, where some of the leading hotels in Bangkok are to be found. The Royal Orchid Sheraton offers riverfront luxury oriented toward tour groups. For decades, the Shangri-La has claimed to be Bangkok's finest hotel, though there are now many others in its class. The Oriental, another stylish riverside hotel, is often voted as one of the world's top hotels. The Peninsula and Marriott Spa Resort are two other plush hotels overlooking the Chao Praya River.
Sukhumvit Road
This is another area well known for shops and nightspots, including the seamy bars of Soi Nana and Soi Cowboy. There are some mid-range hotels and inns here, including the Atlanta Hotel and the Bangkok Inn, but the better four-star and five-star hotels tend to be more oriented toward business travelers than tourists. However, what they may lack in character is made up for in facilities. The brand-new JW Marriott Bangkok is a deluxe hotel geared toward business travelers and boasts one of the most modern fitness centers in the city. The Landmark and the Westin Grande Sukhumvit are two of the most luxurious hotels on Sukhumvit, while the Sheraton Grande Sukhumvit is an old mainstay with business travelers. Novotel Lotus caters to business clientele. For modern-sized, unpretentious topnotch accommodation, try the Amari Boulevard, where all the rooms have nice views of the Bangkok skyline. More budget oriented options can be found at Zenith Hotel and the Danish style Stable Lodge.
Wherever you decide to stay in Bangkok, the friendly people here in the "Land of Smiles" will make it easy to relax and enjoy your time in this hospitable city.

Council members, who will vote on the changes at their meeting tonight, said the new streamlined code will allow for quicker planning for some developments.
One substantial change would allow the planning director or a director's designee on the planning staff to approve a project instead of the Planning Commission.
Less significant, non-controversial, land-use decisions will solely be decided on by the planning director, said Jeff Bloom, the city's interim director.
"If I'm doing a minor addition to the front of a commercial building, there will be more staff review, and a little less Planning Commission review," Bloom said.
"If it gets more substantial, or you're doing a remodel of the whole thing, it will go to the Design Review Committee and the Planning Commission."
Matters involving live entertainment permits or subdivisions will continued to be reviewed by the commission.
Bloom said the hope is that the new code will make it easier for developers to get through the approval process in a timely fashion.
"This still provides public hearings so that the neighborhood is notified if there's a change affecting it," Bloom said.
"Even though it's not going to be heard at the Planning Commission, many of the items that we are moving down to the planning director's level will have a public
If a project seems to be controversial or has major policy implications, Bloom said the director has the ability to move the matter to the Planning Commission for a hearing.
Residents will be able to appeal controversial projects.
The code's new language and format will also be more user friendly and easier for developers and residents, Bloom said.
"As an example, it now has land-use tables so it's easier to see what type of approval process is required for a particular type of application in each zone," Bloom said.
"You would open it up and see several pages of these tables to see if anything's permitted or conditionally permitted. In the past, it was scattered about the different zones, and now it's much easier to find the basic information, and hopefully this puts it in a more usable format."
The new code also includes graphics, which illustrate the types of approved land uses for development zones, in addition to more consolidated land-use tables.
"It's probably easier to understand with more visual pictures and graphics, so developers can get a better idea what the city wants," Planning Commissioner Richard Fletcher said.
Additional changes to the proposed code:

Kevin VanOrd helps Shepard save the galaxy in this video review for Mass Effect 3.
Very well. After all the criticism, particularly of the ending, but not only, my longing to play this abated. Now, however, I'm stoked.
I actually dreamed Mass Effect the other night. It was weird yet awesome at the same time.
I just got M.E 3 for Christmas and when i popped it in my PS3 , i was struck of how ugly it looks . I have M.E 2 on the Xbox and i think it looks better then 3 . Then again ...
It may be in my head .....
But i got over that quickly and i feel it got a bit better further along in the game .
Though i'm not sure what is the problem here ; me , my tv (a Samsung 5 series hd 1080p ), that starting to age or is it the game ???
Not that it will keep me from enjoying the game .
For what it's worth, I watched a visuals comparison for Far Cry 3, between medium and max PC settings, X360 and PS3.
Oddly enough, on the PS3 it looked noticeably worse than on the X360.
@lunaticrichard ME3 has definitely better visuals than ME2. But my caveat is I've only played the ME series on the XBOX 360. I have an original release PS3 but only use it to play exclusive PS3 titles. Regardless stick with ME3, it's worth the journey :)
Best series this generation. I've been playing ME1 to 3 for the entire year. Possibly due in part to the releases this year, but none the less the ME series has been a wonderful universe to revisit and explore. Thank you Bioware.
please stop making scrap effect like this in future , the only game i regret on myself why am buying it is mc3 ...
@dandy34 If you are in a game for the story, for building up your character and his her relationship with other characters, basically to enjoy the journey with action sequences, playing 1,2 and 3 is the way to go.
I started with ME 2, but I realized that for the full experience, I would be better off building up my character since ME 1. The journey from 1 to 3 was then much more enjoyable.
If you are in for pure action, tactics, and FPS experrience, probably ME 3 won't give you your fill.
@dandy34 You can play 3 if you didn't play 1 and 2 .
In 3 they give you the back story , so that's no problem . But if u like RPG's i suggest you play 1 and 2 first . That way you get a lot more out of the games and you are more connected to 3 .
If you're not a RPG fan, play 3 as a action game , witch is an option in 3 . So you don't have to make conversation and get all the babble via cut scene's
@dandy34 You play Mass Effect for the story line which is pretty much one of the best RPG in the market. You don't have to play 1 & 2 but, I would highly recommend playing them just to see how your choices will impact ME3. The only sad thing is, you can't play the entire ME1 if you have a PS3. It is only available on the 360. I use to enjoy the entire serie on the 360 before making the switch to the PS3.
@dandy34 If you enjoy digging into the story of the games you play, you will regret not playing the first two games before the third. Otherwise its a decent action-rpg but not much more.
@gamefreak215jd I'm on my third playthrough, I really like it despite some parts in the ending :) , so many months and I still can get it out of my head
once more cause i didn't get the best ending.and also cause i love this game.
I have played game finished to and i have to say, I am not fan of the role playing at all and big time guns just don?t work for me, but there was time i was ready to cry for the characters in this awesome game, phenomenal game awesome graphics and live time story plot 10/10 as far i am concern first game i have enjoyed in years , salute to all my peeps on here
There is more cinematic bullcrap than gameplay in this game. Cmon I want to play game not watch a movie. That is so stupid.
when i saw the first trailer of mass effect 3 then i thought that it wasn't so cool game, but when i played it then it got on my Favorite game collection
Ending aside, I thought this game was outstanding. I don't think a game has ever gotten me so wrapped up in the world and it's characters. This is one of the only games that I can actually get completely lost in time while playing. There is just so much to do and so many reasons to replay wether it's developing older characters, or starting over with a completely new class. It's never ending fun.
I just completed the game.
-Cover system sucks
-I had to swap disc like 5 -10 times
-Stupid glitches like how it checks for downloading content for ever just because i disabled auto connect to EA.
-The ending.......i'm trying to figure out why was everybody upset about, i played all 3 btw.
If the cover system was like the gears of war cover system it would have been a better game.
@Pr0ving4Gr0undz did you see the original ending or the new endings? the first ending was bad: almost the same ending in all 3, all your choises didn't really matter at the end, the part with the god kid is plain dumb, the reason for the reaper to kiil all living beings is very dump (saving us from being killed by robots by killing us...really?!?!), the stupid dialogue at the end the grandfather telling his grangson about comder sheperd and the EA messege at the end telling us to buy DLCs. The new ending is ok not one of the best but not one of the worst.
I agree there were some flaws but the game was excellent. I enjoyed the ending as well. The flaws to me were minor and did not effect the gameplay. Great game...great series.
"Mass Effect 3 is a remarkably satisfying conclusion to a beloved trilogy" , it certainly wasn't! , The game as a whole does feel a lot different from the two previous games , the paragon and renegade paths don't really have any impact on the story or characters, the secondary quests which you can feel half finished and all the war assets stuff just never leads anywhere. The Story is by far the games biggest strength and some of the main missions which you accomplish are just out and out mind blowing. The combat is good and has a unique feel and there is a lot of varity on guns and customisation. However despite all its good things they forgot to focus on the one thing which sepurates the "amazing" from the "good" .... the ending
the best in it`s genre with sad but dramatic ending...I lived with Shepard for long time but i think his death made him the biggest legend in all games.
@mohammadatefrad whaaatttttt!?!?!?! dude how many games have you played? how about MASTE CHEIF from halo? how about SNAKE from metal gear solid? how about KRATOS from god of war? how about FENIX and DOM from gears of war? how about old school like DUKE NUKEM, SONIC, MARIO BROTHERS and LINK? shepard is a plain boring with a bad voice actor. Mohammad dont be a mass effect fanboy no body deserves that fate... i forgive u cuse your a noob. try playing other game series and realise how wrong you are.
*ending prediction*
No, I haven't played the game yet, however I have concluded by now, with all the complaints and bashing this game got that Shepard dies at the end. Actually maybe everyone dies no matter what your choice was. I'll have to see how the pacing towards the end is for myself, but if everyone dies (everyone meaning majority of the universe), that does kinda suck: an example of such BS is FFXIII-2 (most ridiculous name ever XD). I would only be okay with this if you were given a "chance" to fight through, no matter how slim.
I, personally, would love it if the ending was decided upon the success or failure of the final mission. For example, if you died past a certain point, you got the bleak ending and then if you succeeded, you'd be granted a better ending (you can still end up dead but with better results for everyone you love =3). Then, of course, your rates of success/difficulty of the final mission could be based upon your over-all gameplay decisions and who you have on your team. I'm still young and haven't played a ton of games, so I'm not quite sure, but I haven't really seen anyone do this in their games. When people die on the final mission, they can just restart and it doesn't give much suspense or urgency to the task.
This could also happen with the entire story, like if you failed a major mission, it would take you down a different road in the plot. That kind of realism could be pretty awesome if done right. And getting the perfect ending would mean successfully completing all the missions, saving everyone, etc... Especially if there's a freaking "impossible" mission, that would be a worthwhile goal to strive for no? Hell it would take a TON of writing and extra work, but it would bring a TON more depth to the game. Just my ideas on how a massive epic of an RP GAME would be like (only for hardcore rp players and overacheivers >w> )
I haven't payed the game, but I gotta tell you, that review is sick man. I love the way he narrates the game and the storyline.
The game itself was amazing, and your choices in the first two games make a HUGE difference in the plot of the third, during the game. It's a completely different game if you just played from 3 without importing. The problem is this, Bioware completely lied to the fans about the ending. No ifs, ands or buts about it. They specifically said that they wouldn't do some cookie cutter a, b, or c type ending and that is exactly what they ended up doing. A,B, or C, red, green, or blue. Those are your choices when it comes to the ending and it cheapens the entire series. Now, perhaps if they hadn't hyped it up so much the fans wouldn't be so upset? People, as a rule, don't enjoy being lied to. My personal opinion is that the game got the good ole EA rush treatment and that it's a miracle that the game was as good as it was. The game was fantastic the ending was a bag of shite. Next time they should maybe lay off the hype machine and then people won't be so upset, you can't claim artistic integrity as the reason for outright lying to your loyal fans who stuck with you for 3 $60 games and however many DLC's. My adivce to Bioware: fire the idiot who wrote that ending, tell EA to go screw, and lay off the hype and you'll be fine. Nothing out there comes anywhere close to this series, so kudos to them for that alone.
I hope that this isnt the end for the ME series, I would love another ME game were you dont play as Shepard and perhaps set along time after this one so we could see how the galaxy has changed, or on the other hand, set before the events of this trilogy, maybe when the proetheans were still around. Would be cool.
I enjoyed the journey from ME1 till ME3. The ending was limited in choice. Furthermore, after the long journey to Shepard's sacrifice, it was a bit shocking that her/his death did not have any impact on the your team mates and especially from her/his love mate.Building relationships was somthing important along the journey and the ending did not honour that.
One thing that, in my opinion, stood strong all the way was Jennifer Hale's voice acting.

DaVita HealthCare Partners Inc. plans to open a new dialysis center in McColl, S.C.
Located off US 15-401 on the north side of McColl, the center is undergoing state certification and is expected to be open by May. The center is currently serving a single patient.
"The center is undergoing certification and is expected to be open completely in about two weeks," said Patricia Ford, clinical nurse manager at the location.
"Everything is going pretty well. When we open we will already have our full load of patients," Ford said.
The center has 10 dialysis stations and and will begin with two daytime shifts.
"We are planning on adding a third shift for people who work and need to come in after four o'clock," Ford said. "It is very important for us to have that night shift to give patients options."
According to Ford, Davita has a health care philosophy which centers around teamwork in the service of patients.
"It's all about working together and about our patients," Ford said.
For those interested in signing up, Ford explained that registering is easy.
"You can call and speak with our administrative assistant and they will direct you to our social worker and get you admitted right in."
The McColl center is expected to also present some employment opportunities for those in the area. Ford said that at least another nurse and two more technicians will need to be hired, particularly in the event of another dialysis shift being added.
Located in a new building at 3595 US 15-401 in McColl, DaVita is part of a company that provides administrative services at 1,954 outpatient dialysis centers throughout the United States. Those centers serve approximately 153,000 patients. The company also operates 36 other outpatient dialysis centers in five countries outside of the United States.
"DaVita," which loosely translates to "giving life" in Italian, has been in operation since 1999. To reach DaVita, call 843-523-6274.
