Hi! We will be arriving at the Bangkok airport at about 11pm in a few weeks and I am wondering about the best way to get to our hotel, which is the Sam Sen Sam Hotel near Khao san road
48 soi samsen 3
samsen Rd. Banglumpoo
I just discovered that the airport express bus was discontinued. Is our best option a taxi then? How much should that cost and how long will it take? Thanks!
Bangkok airport to Khao San Road?

Take a taxi. If you could print out a map that clearly shows the cabbie where the hotel is, preferably with the hotel's phone number on it, that would help. Getting the address translated into Thai couldn't hurt, either.
I would allow 50 minutes, maybe an hour, door to door. And about 600 to 700 baht. -

I'd take a taxi (make sure the driver uses the meter, but you are also responsible for the tolls, about 70 baht) but there is a train option now as well. If you do a search here I think there are a couple of reports from people who tried the train, or ask on Lonely Planet's thorntree.

To KSR, the "train option" would still require additional transportation, most likely resulting in comparable cost and time.

Train fare: "City Line's fair [sic] start from 15 baht up to 45 baht, while Express's fair is a flat rate of 150 baht."
See: http://airportraillink.railway.co.th/en/index.html -

I said comparable, not the same.
Considering that a taxi, from door to door, would run under $15, why anyone would hassle other means is beyond me. -

Just because you can afford $15 for a taxi doesn't mean every other traveler to Bangkok can, or that one might not prefer to spend the money on a better meal.
And even if you add in a taxi from the last stop on City Link to KSR, you're probably talking half the cost, which is hardly "comparable". -

I have tried just about evrey mode of transport from both airports over the years and I took the train (non express) from Sukumvit to the apt for teh first time in December. It was perfectly fine and quicker than a taxi into town but of course you will need to add on the time from the station to KSR. It will certainly be cheaper for one person but if there are two of you travelling then the it is less competitive (but still cheaper). We did get some hassle from the taxi driver who seemed to take exception to us using the train and tried to drop us quite a way from makkasan station but you won't get that on the way from the airport.
If you this is your first time in Bangkok then arriving after a long flight late at night, possibly jet-lagged, I would be inclined to get a taxi as it will take you door to door without the hassle of changing and is worth the few extra baht -
Report Abuse
I would just take the taxi, but only use the official counter outside the airport, where you line up and the people at the table assign you a taxi. Don't use any of the taxis that rely on touts inside the airport.
My estimate would be about 45 minutes to an hour, and about 400 baht, depending on traffic and if your taxi driver decides to take you on a roundabout way or not. In any case, since you're arriving late at night, jet lagged and in a place you don't know, I think it would be worth the few extra baht. Even if you are on a budget, Bangkok can be a confusing city and since you are flying you probably have enough money for a taxi, I'm guessing. And even if you did take a train, when you do have to hop into a taxi mid-town there is no guarantee that that taxi will not scam you and drive you in a circuitous (sp) route to get the fare up.
And Mr. Go's suggestion of getting the destination written in thai language (the sanskrit lettering) is a must. Have the hotel send it to you in an email and print it out before you go.
Have a good trip. -

Thank you for all of the advice! We do have our hotel's address in Thai - do we need a map as well?

One disadvantage of having a hotel in the Khao San Road area is that you have no close Skytrain stations. There are hotels in the Siam and Sukhumvit Road areas where you can use the Airport Rail Link to Phaya Thai for 45 baht (City Line) and then switch to the Skytrain to continue on to a hotel close to a Skytrain stop. Maybe check out some other locations near the rail service if you have time. If you are a kid and want to be around other kids you will like the KSR area.
There are even some cheap hotels near the Ratchaprorop Rail Link stop. This is the Pratunam area that many tourists who are into shopping head for.
No rail service from midnight to 6 a.m.
Link for Rail Service:
Meter taxi sign up desks on first floor, out at the curb area. Two different locations, if one line is long use the other area. You do not pay for this taxi ride until you get to your hotel then look at the meter fare price and add the 50 baht surcharge. These meter taxis are registered so keep the receipt that identifies the vehicle. Have small bills to pay for taxi rides. A 500 baht note will be too big to change. Roughly from Suvarnabhumi to KSR figure on a total of 350 baht - plus or minus 50 baht. This includes the toll charges that you pay during the ride.
It is possible to take the Rail Link to Phaya Thai and from there a meter taxi to Khao San Road. When using a taxi in Bangkok ONLY use the meter. If you bargain the cost of a ride you pay more! Do not get in the taxi unless the driver agrees to use the meter. Have coins. I avoid parked taxis in the city. I prefer to wave a moving taxi over. Some parked taxis are waiting for some gullible fish to bargain the cost and pay more.
So, from the airport to Phaya Thai using the City Line is 45 baht each pax. From there to KSR probably under 100 baht. In a taxi you do not pay per passenger. What you see on the meter is for everyone! Meter starts at 35 baht - check it out!
But meter taxi is door to door direct from the airport. Same price for one passenger or for 4 passengers!

Retrieving linguistic data from earlier stages of languages is a notoriously difficult task. Using large electronic corpora combined with data on frequency this task can to some extent be solved. In this article I focus on the use of token frequency as described in functional Grammaticalization Theory. Deverbal nouns are non-prototypical members of the noun class. As they get older they tend to develop into more prototypical nouns. In Grammaticalization Theory this process is called lexicalization. This was tested on some zero suffix nouns in the Norwegian newspaper corpus in 2004 using modern texts only. In this article I test these findings using older texts from the same corpus.

T-Mobile Informative - T-Mobile Charging More For Texts Than Listed On Their Own Website-Hiding The Truth From Consumers!!!
Review by
Comments (3)
This is for those that are tired of getting stuck with charges that don't belong to them. I noticed my T-Mobile bill going up in price each month, so today, being tired of paying more than what I signed on for, I started to do some research on our bills. Apparently T-Mobile raised the price of our text messaging WITHOUT informing us. We have kept every single piece of paper T-Mobile has sent to us over the last two years...we use one of the phones for business so we had to keep any and all documentation for expense reports and taxes. We never received any "insert". On top of this, for the last year of our service, we have had dropped calls, static on the lines, no service, etc. We have called many times to get the technical problems resolved-even went as far as purchasing new phones (at full cost) for both lines and replacing sim cards-and still-the service is below par.
As far as the texting goes-I did my research and then looked at our plan online...I signed in, clicked on "Plans", went to the bottom of the window and clicked on "See Other Included Services", went to the bottom of the next screen and clicked on "More Information About Services", On the next page...First paragraph under the heading "ALL PLANS" If you read the first couple of lines-you will see that T-Mobile themselves say that text messages are only supposed to be 5 cents a text. This is for ALL PLANS-Not just for mine. Yet they are charging everyone more! As far as I am concerned-this is deplorable-and earns them MILLIONS of dollars a month!!!!!
A month-not a year or more. Think on it-every one of their customers is paying more than what they say they actually are charging. I called T-mobile and explained that we were very unhappy with the service and now we find out that our Text cost went up. I spoke to a lady and explained what I found on their website and started to ask why they were charging me more than they themselves state the charge is supposed to be. And here I have been paying more for TWO YEARS!!! She said this was a tax, I said no it isn't-read the paragraph. She put me on hold for a few minutes. When she came back, I asked what would they do for me since I have been paying more than required for 2 years. She didn't know-so I asked for a supervisor. It took a few minutes-but I got one. . She came back and actually thanked me for finding the "typo". She couldn't believe that no one had found it before.
She even confirmed the "typo" with her supervisor and then their business department. When I did get the supervisor, she was very defensive. I wasn't-I was actually pretty nice. I explain everything again, and I ask her-what was T-Mobile going to do for me since I have been paying over their own rates for the last two years. She states that she has documentation that we received the insert explaining about the Text rate change. She stated that I HAD to have received the insert. I told her I was more than willing to send her every paper I had for the last two years, it isn't here. Unless I signed it and gave it back (which if I had received it and they had asked me to at the time-I probably would have), she cannot say I received it.
I am not a dishonest person-I would take a lie detector test to prove we never received it. She refused to give any-she only offered me a rate of .10 cents for our texts for the last month, but as of right now-I am officially notified that my rate of texts from here on out would be 15 cents per text. I couldn't believe she said that-I repeated "So you are saying, as of right now-you are officially notifying me?" She said yes. If that is the case-I should be able to cancel my contract because I am just now officially informed of my text rate change, and since we are still having service problems after trying everything they suggested, we no longer want to keep the service. We especially don't feel that we should have to pay even more for services that we are not happy with. She said no-and I said-but you stated yourself that people had 30 days from the time of discovery to cancel their contracts without an ETF if they did not approve of the rate change, and you just "OFFICIALLY" let me know of my rate change. She started to get a little more rude now and told me she could not waive the ETF.
I explained that this didn't make sense, from what she herself said in the beginning of the conversation. We keep going round in circles repeating the same points of view. I asked to speak to her supervisor. She told me they weren't there but she would have them call me. I have "print screened" the page with the 5 cent text rate-with the date of 2-6-2008, so they can't say it didn't exist. If 5 cents per text was on their site and I saw it-they should honor it, and have it retro-active for the last 2 years. I just feel that they are cheating everyone, and they aren't even letting anyone know about it. We shall see what happens.

If only that phone conversation was recorded. You would have them dead to rights. At any rate, if you have dates, times, who you talked to, what was said you may still have a chance.
Send them a certified mail/return receipt requested letter containing all of these details. Advise them you intend to file a small claims case against them for damages.
It's a hassle. But you might win.

It is a call center-they let you know that your conversation may be recorded for quality assurance-what they do not tell you (I used to work in a call center) is that all calls have time/date stamps-and these are recorded in a large database-and it states what number is calling and how long the call was and who I spoke to. It is how they can keep track of their employees-making sure they are indeed taking a good volume of calls, and it is the basis for how employees get their raises and reviews from their supervisors. I have them dead to rights anyways though because I was smart enough to print screen that page with the 5 cent text price highlighted and my cursor on the date! They cannot dispute it-it has a copyright/trademark at the bottom! On top of all this, I am not just upset for me-I want to make sure all T-Mobile consumers are made aware of this "typo". We have a right to know! I will be happy to supply any and all with a copy of my print screen-because they informed me at the time of my call that they would be hiding...oops-I'm sorry-Fixing it!

The following was an article I found (title and one paragraph)...
T-Mobile USA, A CareerTV Close-up
Headquartered in Factoria, Bellevue, Washington, T-Mobile USA is currently the fourth-largest wireless carrier in the U.S. market with approximately 27 million customers as of August 2007. In addition to mobile phone service, T-Mobile also operates WiFi hotspots in the United States and Europe. In the USA alone, it operates over 8,000 (as of December 22, 2006) T-Mobile HotSpot locations for Internet access — including such locations as airports, airline clubs, Starbucks coffeehouses, Kinko's, Borders Books and Music, Hyatt and Red Roof Inn Hotels.
Let's say Half belong to messaging plans....and this is a very rough calculation...
This leaves 14,000,000 people (I'm rounding up because some go over their allotted text plans). If just 1 text is sent on each of these phones to people who are NOT TMobile customers already-TMobile gets $1,400,000. If all the people receiving are T-Mobile customers already-this earns them $2,800,000, because they not only charge for sending-but for receiving as well. Lets say half of those receiving are T-mobile...This still gives T-Mobile $2,100,000...per text.
But lets face it...many people send and receive more than one text a month. Lets say an average person wihtout a text plan, texts about 30 a month. So, multiply 2,100,000 by 30! THIS IS $63,000,000! They are charging roughly $63,000,000 a month more from consumers than what their website states they are supposed to be charging! Why have I been the only one to find this???
I don't understand how a company can do this.

A quote from fight club by chuck palahniuk
"I've met God across his long walnut desk with his diplomas hanging on the wall behind him, and God asks me, "Why?" Why did I cause so much pain? Didn't I realize that each of us is a sacred, unique snowflake of special unique specialness? Can't I see how we're all manifestations of love? I look at God behind his desk, taking notes on a pad, but God's got this all wrong. We are not special. We are not crap or trash, either. We just are. We just are, and what happens just happens. And God says, "No, that's not right." Yeah. Well. Whatever. You can't teach God anything."

Learning Rx Scam: Preying on Desperate Parents Flower Mound, TX Texas
*REBUTTAL Owner of company: Response from LearningRx
Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
I have gone back and forth on whether or not to post a complaint but when I think about the amount of money we almost gave this company, it is infuriating!
We had both of our kids "assessed" at this company and the results we received back were astounding. Our kids have consistently struggled in school due to issues with focusing, attention, etc. We've known this; it is no surprise and we would not have sought the program out if we did not feel that we needed some help! However, the test results certainly did not support what we, as parents, know about our kids. The assessment displayed extremely low scores in areas that did not make sense for our kids... Because of the confusing results, we were even more shocked when the location director suggested that both kids be put into their 32-week Einstein program for $13,000 EACH!!
I can say that we did put a lot of thought and concern into our decision because we felt like perhaps we were not doing all we could for them if we did not send them through the program. However, that little voice you hear sometimes just kept saying not to move forward.
I say all of that to get to my next point, we had to get my son re-tested for ADHD for his school. We had a doctor that runs the Neurosceince center at Children's Hospital do the testing for us. She administered several tests, including an IQ test. When I mentioned Learning Rx to her, she instantly stiffened. She indicated that this is a scam and they have absolutely no scientific research to back up their claim.
Also, an interesting point, I mentioned to her that I was told Learning Rx would administer a complete IQ test when/if we signed up the kids. She said that they are not allowed to administer a true IQ test because they are not doctors. I have no idea what we would have seen from the results of their "IQ" test, but my son tested at a very high IQ on the test she administered to him. His results with her made complete sense to us as she identified his weak areas as well as his strengths. We knew that this kid was much smarter than what was indicated on the assessment from Learning Rx.
I could go on with more comments and detais from the doctor but I believe my point is made. This is not a program backed by doctors as there is no scientific research to prove it.

Response from LearningRx
AUTHOR: LearningRx Home Office - ()
SUBMITTED: Wednesday, May 22, 2013
We're sorry you did not concur with the results of the assessment of your children. The assessment tool we use is not a test that we created. We use the Woodcock-Johnson III Tests of Cognitive Abilities, an independent third-party standardized test used by educators, psychologists and doctors nationwide. We use this to measure the brain skills of every client before and after brain training to get a scientifically measurable assessment of the significant our clients make following brain training.
At LearningRx, our programs are actually very research-driven. They were developed from 30+ years of trials and testing in a clinical environment, created in conjunction with doctors and professionals. In addition to using independent tests to measure the brain skills of every client before and after training, we analyze data on more than 30,000 LearningRx clients so that we know exactly what impact one-on-one brain training is making. In fact, our results are extremely well-documented. Our own research and the research of others is how we know that:
--We raise IQ an average of 15 points in 12 weeks.
--We help clients with reading struggles get, on average, a 3-year improvement in reading skills in 12 weeks.
Our programs are backed and recommended by many doctors, educators and neuroscientists. We do have studies that have been completed on LearningRx brain training, and more are in process now. To see some of the research and studies behind our programs, visit www.learningrx.com/brain-training-research.htm. To learn more about our results, visit www.learningrx.com/results.
In addition, we believe our customer satisfaction speaks for itself. We ask our clients, on a scale of 1-10, if they would recommend us to a friend after completing our program. Our average rating is 9.5 out of 10, based on thousands of results across our Franchise system of 80+ centers.
With that said, we do wish we would have had the opportunity to provide brain training for your family. Our results are life changing, and thousands of clients would attest to this. In the meantime, we wish you and your family well, and that you are able to find the help you are looking for. If there is anything we can do for you in the future, please let us know.

Obama embarks on three-day bus tour to sell jobs bill
Obama's poll numbers are down in both Virginia and North Carolina, languishing in the mid- to low-forties in recent polls. The numbers mirror his approval ratings nationally. Obama's campaign is pressing to hold both Southern states, even choosing to hold next year's Democratic convention in Charlotte.
The president's bus tour fit into that effort, giving Obama a chance to engage in some of the retail politics that is a staple of presidential campaigns.
Obama's sleek, $1.1 million bus rolled through North Carolina's Blue Ridge Mountains for more than four hours, an unusually long stretch that included unannounced stops.
At Countryside Barbeque in Marion, he shook hands and took photos, and he also had a chance of to talk to potential voters one-on-one about the elements in his jobs bill.
The tour took him through a blaze of bright red and orange fall colors. He later stopped at the Mast General Store in Boone, near the campus of Appalachian State University.
Picking out candy corn, peppermint patties and other treats, Obama said even his health-conscious wife wouldn't mind, because Halloween is coming.
The president was to speak Monday at high school in Millers Creek and make another official stop in North Carolina on Tuesday - a speech at a community college in the town of Jamestown – before heading to Virginia.

I had always wanted to be a writer, but life somehow got in the way. Pathetic excuse, I know, but the fact is I was so busy struggling to survive and cope with a genetic medical condition (sickle cell disease) that it didn't even occur to me that I could in fact try to become a published writer. In hindsight, those were the very conditions which could have helped me to do so as my condition kept me confined to home and bed much of the time and gave me plenty of time in which I could have crafted my art. In fact during these times I wrote many insightful poems and short stories which literally bared my soul, and which I think many magazines and women's journal readers would have been able to relate to. But unfortunately I did not log or otherwise take care of them, much less submit them to any publications, and sadly they have been lost over the years.
I left school with five C.S.E's (Certificate of Secondary Education) in English language and English Literature; History, Music and Religious Knowledge. Those were not going to get me into university or even into a great career, and in fact I did not even consider the possibility of going on to further education since my priority was to start earning as soon as possible so I could leave home where I felt extremely restricted. Fortunately my condition was episodic and did not keep me debilitated all the time, although it was progressive and would cause me greater problems in the future.
Anyway, I left school and got a clerical position in a firm of builders merchants (hardware store) and later worked at a farm machinery company keeping their stock records. From there I took up an administrative position at an ice cream company before moving to London and joining the civil service. This was where I began to come into my own. I was employed to the Personnel Department and discovered that I loved the work. I gained promotion and then, with the experience gained I move on to work at one of the London borough councils where I continued my upward movement until I became a Personnel and Training Officer in one of their departments.
But my condition was beginning to cause problems. In 1981 at the age of 24 I had a hip replacement operation which worked well for a few years but then became infected which resulted in its removal. The orthopaedic surgeon declined to give me a new replacement, citing as his reasons the fact that my body could not withstand another major surgery should the new replacement also become infected – a distinct possibility as sicklers are extremely prone to infections. This left me with one leg shorter than the other and a very pronounced limp. In addition the sickle cell was beginning to damage the blood vessels behind my eyes causing them to haemorrhage.
Anyway, to cut a long story short, I finally ended up with major depression, only one hip, and a yen to return to my native country where the warmer climate would be more conducive to my wellbeing. So I returned to Jamaica and began my writing career.
I began by entering short fiction into the annual national writing competition, and to my delight I reaped medals and trophies year after year. Every single entry merited some award. I was elated and encouraged to try writing a novel. And so my debut novel, Sweet Home, Jamaica was born.
It took me eight months to write and was published in May 2007 in the UK by Pegasus Elliot Mackenzie, who decided to split the manuscript in two (against my wishes) and publish it in two volumes. The sequel, The Missing Years followed in January 2009.
So here I am, finally a published writer, and I can't help feeling that if I had applied myself earlier I might by now have found some acclaim. But it seems the hardest part was not writing the books and getting them published, but getting them to the attention of the reading public. That is a challenge which I have chronicled in an article published on the itzcarribean website http://www.itzcaribbean.com/blackwriters_cbeckfordbrady.php
Still, as the saying goes, it's never too late for a shower of rain, and who knows, my next offering might just propel me into the literary spotlight.
Here's hoping.

2010 FIFA World Cup: Cristiano Ronaldo's World Cup Opener in Pictures
By Ash Marshall ,
Cristiano Ronaldo came into the 2010 World Cup as the main attacking threat of the Portuguese, but he was largely handcuffed during his side's opener with the Ivory Coast.
The pin-up boy of a nation, Ronaldo will be instrumental in trying to guide Portugal through the so-called Group of Death. Brazil are obvious favorites to top the group, but Portugal will be fighting for the second qualification spot.
Ronaldo is the focus of international attention wherever he goes, and he is never more in the sights of photographers than when he is in full flow on the pitch, running at defenders and weaving his magic.
Here's Ronaldo's opening game in pictures.
Cristiano Ronaldo came into the World Cup as one of the most prolific players in the tournament. The captain took in the atmosphere during pre-game warm-ups and he had a steely, unwavering focus during the national anthems when his fellow teammates were belting out the words to A Portuguesa.
The eyes of the world will be on this poster boy during the competition, and there's no reason to think he won't shine.
Teams can't really contain Ronaldo. He runs at defenders with incredible pace and his footwork is second to none. He will be one of the most fouled players in the tournament, and this began just six minutes in to the contest with the Ivory Coast when he got his first taste of hitting the turf.
Expect him to spend much more time on his back over the next few weeks.
Ronaldo rolled around as if he'd been shot and Ivory Coast's players had a right to feel aggrieved after replays showed he made the most of the tackle.
Didier Zokora was left to walk on eggshells for the majority of the match after being booked for this sixth-minute tackle on the Portuguese captain.
Replays showed that Ronaldo went down all too easily, and the booking set the tone for a number of early yellow cards.
Luckily for Ivory Coast, Ronaldo's first sighter at goal from the ensuing free kick was tame and it went off the wall and away to safety.
After getting clipped midway through the first half, Ronaldo goes face to face with several Ivorians including Benjamin Angoua, Kolo Toure, and Didier Zokora. Ronaldo was booked during the exchanges, probably for a remark made to the referee rather than for the exchanges with Angoua.
Guy Demel chops down Ronaldo during the first half as Emmanuel Eboue tries to chase down the Portuguese winger.
Ronaldo tumbled to the ground, but this actually was a foul, unlike an earlier dive which drew the early ire of the Africans.
Portugal's No. 7 can have the ball at his feet one second and then in the blink of an eye the ball is gone and the defender is left to tackle thin air. As was the case here, Ronaldo's legs are somewhere in between.
Ronaldo can't believe it as his 11th-minute 35-yard strike rattles off the left upright. With criticisms flying left and right about the state of the new World Cup ball, Ronaldo showed his class with a thunderous strike that really deserved to nestle in the back of the net.
It was the best shot of the first half and it would have been one of the best goals of this first round of group matches.
A goalless draw wasn't what either team will have wanted heading into this opening Group of Death encounter, but it's not the worst result for either nation either. It will all come down to how many goals they can hold Brazil to and, like the commentators said during today's telecast, how badly they can beat North Korea.
While Ronaldo was lively and disruptive in the first 45 minutes, he was actually pretty tame in the second half. His best chance of the game came when he rattled the woodwork, but other than that he never really tested the Ivory Coast defense.

Abstract emotion
Abstract paintings of Inge Strack (pictured) are on display through March 9 at the Gumenick Family Gallery at The Cultural Arts Center at Glen Allen. Strack, a Chestefield painter of German origin, often paints in bold colors with a deep sense of emotion, focusing on brushstrokes, texture and form to find a balance. Strack's painting is routed in the European tradition of expressionism but has found its own, unique language in following the American dream.
"I am not attempting to abstract the physical world," she said. "I draw my subject matter from inside of myself hoping to create a constant conversation between the viewer and the painting, especially since abstracts do not seem to answer but ask." > Read more.

Exactly, meant to hold keys, or I suppose anything else able to attach to it that you don't want to lose.
since somebody asked whether you can wax the apolis briefcase - received mine today and gave it a full treat with a can of filson wax and the bag took it really well. obviously you have to take care to not get in touch with the leather. i used filson wax since it smells slighlty better than the paraffin in the domke wax. fjällräven greenland wax might work as well but it's usually harder to apply.

Top Nutrients of 2009
Happy New Year to you and your family from EdibleNature.com. With the new year often comes resolutions to live a healthier life and you might be contemplating what nutrients are most important for optimal health. Here are some top contenders that make for a healthy part of a good diet.
Vitamin D - Recent studies suggest low vitamin D levels may affect mortality. Vitamin D helps maintain healthy blood sugar and insulin levels already within normal range. It also appears to promote healthy cell growth in various tissues and to support neurological and brain health and function.
Omega 3 - Studies have shown that omega-3 essential fatty acids can help support healthy heart rhythm, triglyceride levels and overall healthy cardiovascular function, as well as mood, brain and joint function. DHA is also essential for pregnant women to help support fetal brain and nervous system development.
Probiotics-Your intestinal system is filled with these friendly bacteria, which play an important role in helping maintain overall health. Unfortunately, due to widespread antibiotic use, chronic illness, aging and other factors, these friendly bacteria can be greatly diminished.

About Bob Cox
Bob Cox was named publisher of the Winnipeg Free Press in November 2007. He joined the newspaper as editor in May 2005.
"Rejoined" is a better word for it, because Bob first worked at the newspaper as a reporter in January 1984. He covered crime and courts for three years before getting restless and moving on to other journalism jobs.
Since then, his career has spanned four provinces and five cities. Highlights include working in Ottawa for the Canadian Press covering Prime Minister Jean Chrétien during his first term in office, and five years at the Globe and Mail in Toronto, first as national editor and later as night editor.
Bob grew up on a farm in southwestern Ontario, but has spent most of his adult life in Western Canada in Winnipeg, Regina and Edmonton.

The Montague
On arriving at a foreign port after a voyage, the seamen's first destination was often the brothel; as a result, at Lisbon in 1661 thirty seven members of the Montague's crew of 300 went down with VD.

The Montague
Off the coast of Algiers in 1661, the surgeons mate of the Montague, James Yonge, noted two deaths and three serious wounds caused by splinters, and only two wounds caused by shots; one man, whose knee had been torn by a bullet, died the next day after the surgeon had refused to amputate, simply dressing the wound instead.
