The Internet Explorer 10 Experiment: Days 4 & 5
On 16 January 2013, I posted the introduction to this new experiment of mine: give Internet Explorer another chance by using Internet Explorer 10 on Windows 8 as my primary browser for fourteen days, documenting what I love, what I hate, and what makes me generally say "meh". These are my thoughts from days four and five of my experience.
I Can Really Put My Finger on It
The past couple days have been primarily focused on the touch experience and the Modern UI version of Internet Explorer as a whole. I have to say, the Modern UI version of Internet Explorer 10 has been by far my best experience with any tablet web browser.
Is the Modern UI version of Internet Explorer 10 perfect? No. Definitely not—it still has some odd quirks, but the fact that I'd rather stream Internet Explorer 10 to my Motorola Xoom via Splashtop Remote rather than use Chrome, Firefox, or the default browser on Android certainly says something. It could say that my Xoom is a decrepit dinosaur in desperate need of replacement—it could say that Internet Explorer 10 is mind-blowingly fast—and it could say both.
One thing is for sure: Unless Google makes some substantial improvements to their Modern UI version of Chrome—I'll be using Internet Explorer 10 on my upcoming Surface Pro purchase—and without hesitation.
While your experience may vary, Internet Explorer 10 has been by far the fastest tablet browser I've had the pleasure of using. YouTuber Armando Ferreira—one of my favourite tech YouTubers—has a piece in which he compares the web browsing experience on the Google Nexus 10 and the Microsoft Surface with Windows RT. While in many regards the video focuses heavily on how the tablets themselves handle the web browsing experience, you can get a clear picture of just how zippy Modern UI Internet Explorer 10 truly is.
Everything in regard to speed and fluidity Internet Explorer 10 in the Modern UI really is smooth sailing. A feature I discovered accidentally was the ability to flick right or left to go forward and backward in a tab. This makes activities like reading through the forums here on The Verge much easier compared to using Google Chrome for Android.
Favourites Are a Mess in the Modern UI
Not all is smooth sailing, however. As with the desktop version of Internet Explorer 10, the Modern UI version has a couple of interesting quirks. Admittedly, they are far fewer in number, but a couple really stand out.
Favourites in Internet Explorer are generally not as clean and organized as they can be in other browsers. The best (worst) example of this is perhaps the fact that Internet Explorer 10 in the Modern UI doesn't know how to handle folders. Instead of keeping them grouped together or making them tap-to-expand-enabled, the browser simply dumps all of the bookmarks into one large chain. When you're like me, you have a tendency to keep a couple of different folders in a cluster on your favourites bar, stuffed to the brim with articles you need to read for school, stuff you need to read later, and things you need to check-up on fairly regularly.
This, for me, is probably the biggest strike against Internet Explorer 10 in the Modern UI. Surely Microsoft's obviously talented design team could have come-up with a more effective, user-friendly means of handling "foldered" favourites?
Where Have All My Good Tabs Gone—and Where are All the Goods?
While the handling of "foldered favourites" is certainly bothersome, another thing almost as offensive to me is how Internet Explorer 10 handles tabs when you exceed ten.
It closes them. Silently. Without telling you.
Had a big response typed-up in a tab? Poof. Gone. Aren't you lucky that's the tab that Internet Explorer decided to close. I understand the need (or desire) to keep the tabs "bar" as clutter-free as possible whilst still remaining some semblance of touch- and user-friendliness, but this is just a joke.
Now, I'm no expert, but I have to say, surely there could be some way to handle these tabs better. Perhaps create a "frozen tabs" cluster that allows users to see that they have other tabs available. Every ten tabs could create a cluster until the tab bar has say—five clusters (that would leave space for five tabs still)—or something—tell the user that a tab will be closed because they have too many open—but do not just make the older tabs "automagically" disappear.
Flash – A Worm-Ridden Apple
Speaking of things that "automagically" disappear. Flash. Yeah, there is a good handful of sites on which Internet Explorer 10 will permit you to view Flash content—but where is the toggle setting that will allow me to enable Flash for all websites? Why cannot not switch between "Always enable Flash content", "Limit Flash content", and "Never allow Flash content" in the settings pane for Internet Explorer 10 in Metro?
Yeah, it's true that when Internet Explorer encounters Flash content, it handles it remarkably well, but the imposed limits on what is viewable are frustrating to say the least.
Sites on the Start Screen – Still Clumsy
I thought that maybe—just maybe I was being overly critical of pinning sites to start in one of my previous reports. What use is that? I thought. Really, once you're past that initial jump into the browser, why should you ever be going back to the Start Screen except to actually launch another application. Internet Explorer 10 in the Modern UI still has a favourites bar—even if it's not perfect. Additionally—and this is a bit silly, too—pinning websites to the Start Screen also pins them to your favourites bar in Modern UI Internet Explorer 10. Why? Why can't I just choose a few select sites or pages to pin without them needed to be pinned to the Start Screen, too?
Yes, I realise that technically, adding and page to the favourites bar is basically the same as pinning it—but it really isn't—not when you have hundreds of favourites to rummage through.
Final Thoughts for Days Four and Five
Internet Explorer 10 in the Modern UI is still the best browser I've ever used on a tablet to date—even with its oddities. With a few small changes, it would basically be perfect.
What Should I Focus on for Tomorrow?
I've focused pretty heavily on the touch experience with Internet Explorer 10 in the Modern UI. What are other aspects of browser usage at which I should take a closer look for tomorrow's report?

Proponents hail Vt. assisted suicide billMay 20,2013The Associated Press
MONTPELIER — Proponents of a plan that will allow Vermont doctors to prescribe lethal medications to terminally ill patients says the implementation of the new law will trigger a broad range of improvements in end-of-life medical care.
Dick Walters of the group End of Life Choices says he doesn't think the law Gov. Peter Shumlin is due to sign Monday will cause many people to take advantage of it.
The legislation will take effect as soon as Shumlin signs the bill, less than a week after the Vermont House gave it final passage.
Waters says his organization, which worked to help pass the legislation, will shift to helping to implement the law.
The group has formed a transition team to provide support for groups that will be implementing the law.MORE IN This Just InRutland Plywood held its final meeting with employees who said they're moving on from the company...

The shares of Cairn India today fell by about 4 per cent after the company said its Managing Director and CEO Rahul Dhir has quit the company.
After a weak opening, shares of the company fell further by 3.7 per cent to Rs 313.60 on the BSE.
Similarly on the National Stock Exchange, the scrip lost 3.73 per cent to Rs 313.45.
Dhir, who was the face of Cairn India since the time the firm's British promoters listed it on the BSE to make the company more local, quit in less than eight months of London-based mining group Vedanta taking over the company.
"The board of Cairn India announces that Dhir has decided to step down as Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of the company effective August 31, 2012, to pursue his entrepreneurial interests," the company had said in a statement yesterday.

LA CROSSE, Wisconsin (WXOW) - There's been a standard of some success for UW-La Crosse football this year against ranked opponents. The Eagles beat #6 North Central College in the season opener, but have had little recent success against UW-Platteville.
Saturday's game started with a great opening drive for the Eagles. Jared Stan ended it with a five-yard touchdown run to make it 7-0 UW-L.
Platteville wasted little time answering back. Bryce Corrigan found Paul Reit for a nine yard touchdown strike tying the game at seven. They scored twice more in the first quarter on Hank McIvor runs to make it a 20-7 Pioneers lead.
La Crosse tried to rally in the second. Andy Sires hit Jeff Haffeman on a 50-yard bomb driving deep into Platteville territory. That resulted in a field goal, cutting the deficit to 10 points.
It would be all Platteville after that. Corrigan threw two more touchdown passes and Travis Nelson ran for another to give UW-P the 40-10 win.
After the game, Eagles head coach Joel Dettwiler didn't beat around the bush.
"Our corners, honestly--not to pick on kids, did not play well at all," he said. "Our guys who are normally strikers and guys who tackle lost confidence. It was a snowball effect, definitely."
Safety Jake Meckstroth added, "They run their stuff and they run it well. We knew kind of what was coming. We knew they like to pass the ball. They ran zone, and we didn't stop it today collectively as a group."
"You know, you can maybe say we've been up and down," said UW-L QB Andy Sires. "It's just finding that consistency. From week-in to week-out, practice to practice, from film session to film session, we can't be having these up and downs."
Platteville put up more than 400 yards passing in the 30-point win. With the loss, the Eagles fall to 1-1 in the conference. They'll take on UW-Eau Claire on Saturday, October 13th in a game to be televised on WXOW. The pre-game show starts at 11:00 a.m. with kickoff set for 11:30.

Dimethicone is a silicone film former that can also be found in skin lotions, bath soaps and shampoos. It creates a protective coating or shine on a surface. Sometimes referred to as "silicone oil," Dimethicone is the most widely used silicone polymer and is particularly known for its ability to smoothly coat a surface and leave it protected, without being sticky. In products that are applied to the skin, Dimethicone can also be used as an emollient that helps soften and smooth the skin.

GPs say NHS 111 will put patient safety at risk
Health experts have asked Sir David Nicholson to delay the launch of the new telephone triage system NHS 111, as they say the crisis affecting the system will put patient safety at risk.
The phone number, designed to direct people with non threatening conditions to the right part of the NHS, will be launched nationwide on Monday.
But the British Medical Association said problems had occurred during the trialling of the number.
They added that in some areas, switchboards could not cope with the volume of calls, which had also been affected by severe IT failures.
In a statement, the NHS said: "We are confident that measures now in place will ensure resolution of these early problems."

The Spanish university system
Types of Universities
The Spanish University System is made up of two types of universities: public and private.
According to the Organic Law 6/2001 of universities, the public universities are institutions created by the Law of the Legislative Assembly of the Autonomous Community, established within its jurisdiction and also those institutions created by Law by the Spanish Parliament, proposed by the government and in accordance to the Autonomous Community where the institution will be established.
In contrast, Private Universities are those institutions created by physical persons or legal bodies in virtue of section 6 of article 27 of the Spanish Constitution, with respect to the constitutional principles and subject to the Organic Law 6/2001 of universities.
That is to say that whether a university be public or private depends on ownership: on the one hand there are public universities created by a public entity; and on the other hand there are private universities created by physical persons or legal bodies.
There are also universities that are specialized in online studies that allow to study and obtain Bachelor's, Master and Doctorate degrees. Additionally, more and more public and private universities include the possibility of taking part of their academic offer online.
Degrees that are Offered
According to what is established in the Organic Law 6/2001, within the autonomy of the universities, they can issue an official degree that are valid within the National territory, in addition to diplomas and non official degrees.
- Official degrees:
Official University degrees are valid in all National territory, are established by the Government and are adapted to the European Higher Education Area (EHEA). Therefore, they have official validity in all the countries that comprise the EHEA. These degrees are equivalent to/recognized in other countries that do not pertain to this area (countries like Latin America, Asia, Africa, etc.).
- Non-official degrees:
Meanwhile, non-official degrees are created by the university and do not have validity in the EHEA. Therefore they are not equivalent in other countries, but valid only by the same public or private university that has given the degree.
The degrees may be differentiated by its denomination according to whether it is non-official or official. The denomination of the official university degrees are: Bachelor's, Masters and Doctorate while the denominations of the non-official university degrees are Non-official Bachelor's Degree, Non-official Masters, Masters Specialist and Masters Expert. Non-official Doctorates Degrees do not exist.
For more information about the Spanish University System Degrees, the official as well as the non-official, please visit our search engine of degrees in http://universidad.es/en/spain/study-spain/degrees
Since the adaptation of the Spanish university system to the European Higher Education Area (EHEA), the structure of university studies in Spain now comprises three cycles: bachelor's degrees (in Spanish, Grado), master's degrees, and doctoral degrees. The bachelor's and the master's degrees are taught in the following areas of knowledge:
- Arts and Humanities.
- Experimental Sciences.
- Health Sciences.
- Social and Legal Sciences.
- Engineering and Architecture.
1st Cycle: Bachelor's degree
The bachelor's degree (grado) replaces the old qualifications of undergraduate diplomas and degrees. To obtain a bachelor's degree, students must earn a total of 240 ECTS credits over four academic years (including an end of degree dissertation).
The bachelor's degree is structured as follows:
- Basic training subjects (minimum of 60 credits).
- Obligatory subjects.
- Optional subjects.
- External placements (maximum of 60 credits).
- End of degree dissertation (minimum of 6 credits and a maximum of 30).
- Cultural activities (maximum 6 credits).
Students must enrol for a minimum of 9 credits and a maximum of 90 in each academic year.
2nd Cycle: Master's degree
Master's degrees comprise between 60 and 120 ECTS credits, spread over one or two academic years.
Official master's studies aim to prepare students for academic, professional or research work and lead to the award of the master's degree which is valid in all countries that are members of the European Higher Education Area (EHEA).
Students will be admitted on master's programmes in accordance with the assessment criteria stipulated for the degree in question.
The universities' Commission for the Coordination of University Degrees establishes the procedures and criteria for admission to master's programmes.
3rd Cycle: Doctoral degree
The goal of Doctoral programs in Spain is to train the student in advanced research techniques. These programs are divided in two parts or ciclos: the first part consists of studying 60 credits, which can form part of the Master's degree; the second is the actual research which culminates in the student's public defence of his/her original research project (doctoral thesis). Regarding the duration of the program, there is a maximum of three years studying and researching full-time, or five years part-time.
International Doctorate
To obtain the honorary mention of "European Doctorate", the doctorate student must have spent at least 3 months outside of Spain carrying out studies or conducting research; part of the thesis must be written and must be presented in one of the languages, other than Spain's official languages, of the European scientific community; the student must have had consultation regarding the thesis with at least two expert doctors from a non-Spanish European university or research centre; and on the thesis judging panel, at least one of the panellist experts must be from a non-Spanish European country.
Doctorate Schools
Universities will be able to establish Doctorate Schools which most properly focus and direct the doctoral training programs carried out by each university, in addition to promoting collaboration with public and private research institutions or national and international businesses. For their part, the schools will facilitate the organisation of the doctoral program around one or more branches of knowledge or across multiple disciplines. They will also attempt to attract a group of researchers with diverse backgrounds in order to improve the well-roundedness, skills, and competence of the doctoral students.
For more information on the postgraduate studies offered by Spanish universities, please visit the Ministry de Education website.
ECTS credits
ECTS credits (ECTS = European Credit Transfer System) are the standard adopted by all the universities in the European Higher Education Area (EHEA) in the process of convergence between Europe's higher education systems.
ECTS credits are based on the work completed by the student, and cover hours of class, self-study, written work, and practicals.
An ECTS credit represents 25 hours of study. A student studying full-time is expected to obtain 60 ECTS credits in an academic year.

Kavus Torabi: "I can never finish things"
Next August will see the release of Kavus Torabi's project Knifeworld, the album Buried Alone: Tales Of Crushing Defeat will be preceded by a single called Pissed up and brake fluid.
Torabi has plenty of project work on his CV; The Monsoon Bassoon, Authority, Guapo, Admirals Hard, Die Laughing, North Sea Radio Orchestra, Miss Helsinki, Hatchjaw and Bassett, Cardiacs and now Knifeworld. I took the opportunity to do an interview with him and talk about his new project, his childhood, how he became part of Cardiacs and the future of Cardiacs.
"The LSD album will come out eventually, believe me."
A bit about your childhood Kavus, you were born in Iran, when did you come to the U.K. ? Did you ever visit Iran again ?
Well, I was born in Iran, but we moved to the UK when I was 18 months old and here we remained. The original plan was to move back when my Dad made a bit of money, but the Islamic revolution kicked off so that was the end of that. I've never been back although most of my family is over there, many of whom I've never met. If I went back now I'd have to do two years national service which is, as you can imagine, not particularly appealing.
What kind of music did you listen to when you were a kid ?
There was never any music around the house really, my parents just weren't particularly into it. My Mum had three maybe four albums, that was it. I was crazy about the music on TV shows. Particularly C.H.I.P.S. I invented a strange form of notation and 'scored' the theme tune in great detail on one of those bits of card a school shirt might be pinned to if you bought it new. I kept this under my pillow to consult everytime I forgot how it went. I was always coming up with songs. We got a piano when I was about seven years old and I remember being far more interested in making tunes up than actually learning anything by anyone else. No-one really picked up on that and I had no idea that you could be a composer or a musician, it's just what I did. My cousin Arash came over from Iran to grow up with us in 1979 and we became very close. Pop music arrived in our house a year later. That changed everything. It was seeing The Stray Cats perform Runaway Boys on Saturday morning television that did it for me. A light turned on in my head when I saw Brian Setzer. I thought, "That's who I want to be". I started playing the guitar almost immediately after that, again just coming up with stuff that, in my head, sounded like The Stray Cats. I didn't learn chords for about a year. Chords were for squares. My mum knew between two and four chords which she tried to teach me, I thought "If she knows chords then they're not for me". That's probably the starting point to the peculiar style I have now.
I was crazy about The Stray Cats for about two years, I sort of went from one musical obsession to another like a rock serial monogomist. I finally landed at Cardiacs in 1988 when I was sixteen. A Little Man And A House had just come out and a friend lent it to me. Before I'd even got to side two I realised this was the best band I'd ever heard.

Searching pages in WordPress 1.5
Update (march 6, 2004): David B. Nagle made a plugin which gives the same results as this hack, but does it the right way, using the plugin system. Use it instead of hacking as described below.
A few days ago version 1.5 of WordPress was released. One of the interesting new features is the addition of pages. You use pages for static content on a site, which means you can now use WordpPress to build a larger part of you site. Very useful.
But one thing I don't understand is why pages are left out of search results? Through a thread on the support site I found a bug report that states
This is intended behaviour until we revamp search.. So I looked for a solution.
Hacking the search function
Warning: This describes a change to one of the core WordPress files. It may introduce bugs or unwanted side effects when used. I haven't done much testing, but it seems to work ok.
I you decide to use this hack it's your choice, you are responsible, not me. If you're not comfortable with it don't apply the change.
To have the search function also return pages I changed
classes.php. You find this file in the
wp-includes directory. On line 493 this piece of code starts:
if ($this->is_page) { $where .= ' AND (post_status = "static"'; } else { $where .= ' AND (post_status = "publish"'; }
Change it to the following:
// 2005-02-20, Rob Schluter: Hack to search posts & pages. if (!empty($q['s'])) { $where .= ' AND ((post_status = "static" or post_status = "publish")'; } else{ if ($this->is_page) { $where .= ' AND (post_status = "static"'; } else { $where .= ' AND (post_status = "publish"'; } } // end hack
That's it, put the changed file on your server and the search should work for pages also.

The Economics of Health Improvement in Developing CountriesCourse number(s): ECON 127, HumBio 121, MED 262
Offered Winter quarter in the 2006-2007 academic year
Grant Miller - Stanford University
Research Assistant
Rekha Balu
This course introduces insights grounded in economics about health improvement in the developing world. Rather than surveying a range of diseases and health interventions, it presents a unifying conceptual framework for thinking analytically about the challenges of health improvement in poor countries. Examples of the types of questions posed include:
- Why might better access to HIV/AIDS treatment cause people to engage in more risky sexual activity?
- Why might health improve during sudden economic downturns?
- How should public policy stimulate new research and development for tropical disease vaccines?
- Why might food be exported during famines, and what policies ameliorate this?
- Do we really know what explains the twentieth century's rapid health gains, and what lessons are relevant to health improvement in developing countries today?
The evaluation of empirical studies will also receive special emphasis. At the end of the course, students should be able to apply economic paradigms to pressing international health challenges, critically evaluate empirical evidence of what "works" and what doesn't, and pose unanswered research questions on which they can make progress.
Please note that the contents of the syllabus do not necessarily reflect what will be included in future quarters.

Getting There
Phuket Town is located approx 30 km south of Phuket International Airport and within 30 minutes drive of all of the islands major beaches. The Thavorn Grand Plaza is situated right in the heart of the vibrant capital, surrounded by quaint street bazaars, day and night markets, food and beverage outlets, cinemas, shopping malls and wonderfully preserved Sino-Portuguese buildings and Buddhist temples. While providing the perfect base to explore the island's stunning beaches, the hotel is in a prime location for shopping and sightseeing in Phuket Town and for guests to catch a glimpse of a more authentic and traditional Thai way of life on the island.
If you are staying at the Thavorn Palm Beach or Thavorn Beach Village resorts and can tear yourself away from their relaxed and tranquil settings for an afternoon, then Phuket Town is is just a short drive away and well worth a visit to experience the local Thai culture. Song Taew buses (a truck with open back and sides) operate cheap, public services from many of the beaches around the island and with an abundance of taxis, cars, motorbikes and Tuk Tuks for hire, Phuket Town is easily accessible and is truly a must see destination for any visitor to the island.
You will often hear the names Phuket Town and Phuket City being used interchangeably, but rest assured they refer to the same place, the bustling, administrative centre of Phuket. To clear up any confusion, it was recently awarded city status, but most people, especially the locals still refer to it is as Phuket Town and for the purpose of this guide we will do the same. Our guide to Phuket Town begins with what is undoubtedly the main cultural attraction, the stunning streets and buildings located in the Old Town.
Old Town
You can pretty much cover all of the sights of the Old Town on foot, but the best time of day to attempt this is either early morning or later on in the afternoon when there is some relief from the soaring temperatures and high humidity. There are a great variety of sightseeing opportunities on offer including many stunning examples of Sino-Portuguese architecture, Chinese and Buddhist shrines and temples as well as museums and quaint shops, cafes, bars and restaurants. All of these attractions are centred around some very special roads in the heart of Phuket Town.
Famous Roads in the Old Town
The cultural and historical significance of the Old Town as well as it's obvious touristic appeal was recognised in the early 1990s and after many years of decline the core main streets and a series of smaller streets known as 'Sois' were handed a conservation award and the Sino-Portuguese shops and houses have since been beautifully restored. The distinctive 'five footway' pedestrian walkways, which cleverly link each building to the next with a high roof covered, curved archway were also reclaimed as public space. The famous streets of the Old Town include Dibuk Rd, Soi Romanee, Thalang Rd, Krabi Rd, Yaowaret Road, Phang Nga Rd, Rasada Rd and Phuket Rd.
Dibuk Road (meaning 'Tin' in Thai) is named in reference to the industry that the Old Town was built upon and has many fine examples of old Chinese Style 'shophouses' restored in wonderful detail. Shophouses, as the name suggests are individual units in a row of houses, with the front portion and often the entire ground floor designated for commercial purposes and the remainder as a family area for the owners of the property. The family areas contain beautiful internal courtyards and elegant facades.
Disecting Dibuk Road is Yaowaret Road and along here you can find many examples of shophouses still being used as they were originally intended. Shops such as Kid Dee offer an eclectic mix of Asian arts and crafts, whilst Wassana and Thana Manee have beautiful examples of Thai silk and textiles.
At the Intersection between Dibuk Street and Yaowaret Road, head south and take the first right onto Thalang Road. This road is a strong remnant of the past and is the beating heart of the Old Town. Here you will find some delightful examples of the 'five footway' walkways linking shops, traditional businesses, restaurants and cafes. Towards the Eastern end of the street on the left hand side is the quaint little Soi Romanee, a colourful little back street with an equally colourful history. Now the place of little cafes and guesthouses it was once the popular red light district servicing the tin miners in the town. To celebrate the restoration of the Old Town and to showcase the culture of the area, an annual 'Old Phuket Town Festival' has been running since 1998. Throughout this festival, Thalang Road is closed off to traffic and becomes a 'walking street' to recreate the Old Town ambience of the days before cars and motorbikes.
Cross over the road at the Yeowaret intersection and on to Krabi Road, home to the cultural gem that is the Tai Hua Museum. Formally the Thai Hua Chinese School, the museum is a splendid example of European influenced, Sino-Thai architecture. The museum is now used to showcase Phuket's unique 'Baba' community, and serve as a local community centre for arts, culture and language. Further along the road heading west is the Phra Phitak Chyn Pracha mansion. This is a fine example of a sino-colonial massion and has been used as a location for several movie and TV productions including "the Killing Fields" and the "Young Indiana Jones Chronicles". Continuing west along Krabi road you will discover beautiful examples of Chinese Temples called the Sam San Shrine and the Thye Guan Tong Shrine.
Running parallel to Thalang Road and Krabi Road and just to the south is Phang Nga Road, which is perhaps most famous for its use as a movie set for the Hollywood blockbuster 'The Beach'. In the film, the rather dilapidated On On Hotel doubled as the Bangkok Flophouse and is a mecca for film fans all over the world. There are more hidden surprises to be found on Phang Nga Road however, and take a turn down a small alleyway adorned with Chinese writing and discover the beautiful Chinese 'Shrine of the Serene Light'. Built in 1889, there is a peaceful garden and a beautiful multi-coloured temple to discover. All along the main street you can find wonderful examples of the Old Towns Chinese influence.
Last, but not least is Rasada Road, home to our very own Thavorn Hotel (not be confused with the Thavorn Grand Plaza). The lobby of this historic building houses a wonderful collection of artefacts and memorabilia from Phuket's prosperous tin mining past. At the Western end of Rasada road is the Suriyadate traffic circle home to an interesting fountain designed with fish shapes. It is also worth noting that if you travel straight over the traffic circle and continue west along Ranong Road you will find two beautiful examples of Chinese temples named the 'Jui Tui Shrine' and 'Pud Jow Shrine'. The Pud Jow Shrine was built over 200 years ago and is the oldest of its kind in Phuket.
If you are looking for something a little different from the hell raising party scene to be found in resorts such as Patong, then why not sample a more Asian style of nightlife in the many bars and clubs tucked away in and around the Old Town.
There are a number of pubs located along Yaowarat Road, which dissects the famous streets of the old town. Many feature quality live music on a nightly basis and cater to a mixed crowd of Thai locals and westerners. A firm favourite is Timberhut, which gets packed out most nights and takes you on a musical journey with a quality house band first and then later on in the night, DJ's manning the decks pumping out international and Thai dance music. Further along Yaowarat Rd, towards Thalang Rd. You will find both sides of the street lined with small live music bars featuring local artists. Things kick off along here around 21:30 most nights and often you find all of these bars packed and busy. Another quality venue is Sofa on New Dibuk road. This stylish two storey bar caters more for a hip and trendy local Thai crowd and has a friendly atmosphere with quality Thai music from live bands.
In 2009, Thalang Road experienced an extensive face lift removing all electricity cables from above the street and burying them under the road. This makes this a wonderful place for a evening stroll and there are some delightful, quaint little restaurants located in beautifully restored sino-portugese buildings serving up delicious authentic food. One such cafe is the welcoming China Inn Café & Restaurant. This cafe has a variety of unique dining settings such as the courtyard out back, which are brimming with Chinese artifacts. They serve up all the traditional Thai favourites as well as some unique dishes and have friendly and attentive staff. There are a number of other quality dining options in the Old Town with Salvatore's on Rasada Road serving up classic Italian dishes and many restaurants along Dibuk road are much in keeping with the delightful classic style of the old town. They serve up Thai and International cuisine and have very respectable wine lists with Raya being the pick of the bunch. For a hip and trendy dining experience try Eatzz or Lemongrass, both located next to Sofa on New Dibuk Road.
On the doorstep of the Thavorn Grand Plaza .
As a guest at the Thavorn Grand Plaza, you really don't have to travel far for an afternoon of shopping and entertainment. The Robinsons Department Store and Ocean Shopping Mall are literally located on your doorstep and are both great places to pick up good quality products at reasonable prices. Ocean is also the place to go for entertainment activities and houses a multiplex cinema showing all the latest English Language blockbusters (with Thai subtitles), ten pin bowling alley, karaoke booths, games arcade and restaurants.
Just opposite the main entrance to the Thavorn Grand Plaza are the Pensri, Phuket Square and Expo markets. These wonderful bazaars house a quality range of clothes and accessories all at bargain prices. And if you have worked up an appetite shopping, then just across the road from the Expo is Uptown Restaurant which is very popular with locals and westerners as they serve up all your favourite Thai dishes at very reasonable prices. For the smells and tastes of real authentic Thai food, there is no place better to go than the fresh food market that sets up every evening behind The Robinsons Department Store. Dive in and find yourself some new and interesting flavours.
If you are looking for a more traditional dining experience then there are plenty of quality restaurants only a short walk from the hotel. You only need step out of the front entrance to find Laem Tong Chinese restaurant, one of the oldest and finest Chinese restaurants in Phuket.
There is also plenty in the way of nightlife to enjoy in the area surrounding the Thavorn Grand Plaza. While many establishments maintain a distinctly Thai flavour, they are also popular with westerners and are a great place to grab a beer or cocktail, listen to live music, watch major sports events and mingle with the locals. Kor Tor Mor, located at the eastern end of Chana-Charoen Road near the traffic circle is very popular with the hip and trendy local Thais and is always busy. This place has a smart casual dress code so remember to leave your shorts and flipflops for the beach.
There are also a number of bars in the area offering a more colourful night scene. A couple of places have a unique and distinctly quirky feel to them as beautiful girls belt out songs in the hope of obtaining floral necklaces from the Thai and western patrons sitting in the audience. While these establishments are more discreet than those found in resorts such as Patong there is little doubt about the intentions behind buying the girls the floral tributes. Pink Lady is the best place to witness this fun and slightly corny stage show. Bossy, or Cayote Bar as it is sometimes known, offers another version of the girly dance show, only this time they are on stage dancing energetically to pumping dance music. There are also a number of cool bars with open-air beer gardens close by that stay open late and offer relaxed surroundings, with James Garden being particularly popular.
Nearby Attractions
Phuket Island is a mountainous region and there are plenty of vantage points to get spectacular views over the beaches, islands and the crystal clear Andaman Sea. There are also a couple of good viewpoints close by to Phuket Town which provide unrivalled views of the cityscape below. The first is Khao Rang Hill which is popular with locals as well as tourists who enjoy jogging along the shady routes or exercising in the fitness park. There is plenty of seating available to relax and take in the view and there is a quality restaurant called Tunk Ka, which serves fantastic food with equally fantastic views over the town. The second viewpoint is called Toe Sae Hill, but is known locally as Monkey Hill after the community of macaques which inhabit it. Another great place for a stunning view of Phuket Town is the 10th floor outdoor pool at Thavorn Grand Plaza!
There are a couple of places to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city for a while, the first being King Rama IX Park. This is a popular destination for locals looking for relaxation or exercise and you will find many people jogging or taking part in group exercise classes in the early evening. The second is Saphan Hin, a large leisure park close to the sea that is popular with locals looking for a quiet place to sit, relax and enjoy a family picnic. It also offers a number of sports and recreational facilities including a large swimming pool, tennis courts, petanque, basketball, an indoor sports hall as well as a sports stadium and Thai boxing Stadium.
If hustle and bustle is exactly what you require then every weekend, from mid afternoon till about 9pm, The Jatujak Weekend Market comes to life on the outskirts of Phuket Town. It is a wonderful open air market and bazaar with an enormous variety of products on offer. In fact, it is worth a visit for the food alone and you have not seen fried chicken until you have seen the whole chicken (head, beak, feet and all) coated in their special blend of herbs and spices! Many people eat their way around the market enjoying such dishes as Thai Fish cakes, sticky rice, bbq seafood, papaya salad as well as sampling delicious seasonal fruits such as mango, dragon fruit, bananas and rambutan, easily recognisable by its red and spiky peel. You can also buy quality souvenirs, Asian arts and crafts as well as clothes and accessories, which makes this a must see destination for those in search of a bargain.
Travelling out of Phuket Town along the bypass road you will find an astonishing number of quality shopping outlets including Central Festival Phuket, Big C, index Shopping Mall, Tesco Lotus, Homeworks, all which are explained in greater detail in our section on shopping.

Directions: Open both pdf files below and print the book and instructions. Follow the instructions on how to make the booklet and that's it!
PDF Files
- I know President Hinckley has done a few other "Be's" since the above talk, but only his original six would fit.
- When printing the booklet (pdf file) make sure that Adobe Reader's page scaling is set to "None" and NOT to "fit" or "reduce" to the printer margins. If the reader changes the margins the pages of the booklet will be off center after folding it.
- You can also add a bit of glue (such as a glue stick) to the inside to keep the pages together for a more professional look, but you don't have to.
- Even though the front and back of the booklet is in color it prints just as well in black and white.

Hope you enjoyed some of that warm winter sun (at least as warm as it can be this time of year) today. We're heading into yet another nor'easter in this winter of seemingly unceasing storms.
(Quick sidebar: things will settle down in the long range, and discussion will switch to whether or not we hit 60° next weekend.)
This one packs more than a punch, it packs a lot of surprises. Initially, a sloppy, wet storm, after it crosses the Cape Cod Canal, it goes berserk and deepens at a breakneck pace.
Let's begin...
Second phase of the storm is the tricky part. That gets underway after 8pm Thursday. Storm crosses the Canal and heads for The Gulf of Maine. As it does, it will drag the rain/snow line to the coast, and hammer us with a new batch of snow through the early morning on Friday. Winds will clock in at 50-60mph on the North Shore, Cape Ann to NH and Maine. This is when the storm is most intense, and when we could easily put down another 3-6 inches of snow areawide - including the coast. To the right, you can see the storm on approach (courtesy: Weather Bell Analytics)
And here it is after crossing the Cape. (Note how the winds surge off the Islands and on Cape Ann.)
As a result, we thing a few inches on the front end (as the storm approaches), some switchover/melting, then another hit into Fri. AM (as the storm intensifies).
That's baked into these amounts. So, don't go looking for these numbers by midday tomorrow. Remember, this is a 24hr storm, there's plenty to play out tomorrow night.
If I had to pick one area that takes this storm on the chin, it's the North Shore, Cape Ann, SE NH & Southern Maine. Once that storm turns to the "dark side" on Thursday night, it will crank wind, seas, and whip the snow into a frenzy through Friday morning. That's not to say that the jackpot area on Rt. 2 will come away unscathed. A solid foot of semi-wet snow (good for snowballs) is destined for that area. Thankfully, the storm is not stalling, so we'll clear out on Friday afternoon.
Another sneaky storm Saturday, then we'll go quiet. And remember what I typed at the beginning of the blog...spring is on your side long term.
More ahead.

Lightest tabletPC with DVD playback?
This might be stretching it a bit, but I am curious to which is the lightest tablet that still has an internal optical drive. Most models with a DVD tend to be past the 4.0 lb / 1.8 kg mark. All the listed tablets, slates, and convertible PCs I've checked that are under that weight limit have clunky port replicators.
General Questions.
1. What is your budget?
2. Would you consider purchasing used/refurbished?
3. Do you prefer a media/mobile tablet like the iPad, Windows tablet PC, or notebook convertible?
4. What size Tablet PC would you prefer?
6. Do you have any preferences to brand loyalty or dislikes?
7. How many hours battery life do you require?
8. What will be the primary usage scenario of this tablet?
9. Do you have an OS preference?
For the sake of this argument, budget is US$100~$1000, no qualms about refurbished or used, and no media preference.
Optimal writing area is 10 to 13-inches.
No love for Compaq (and their stupid Fn/CTRL/ALT placement instead of CTRL/FN/ALT)
2~6 hours of battery life
For entertainment purposes (movies, DVD burning); handwriting, sketching and email are secondary
Preferred OS is Linux (Ubuntu, Arch, Mint, Knoppix). Win7, WinXP and Android are also acceptable.
Screen Specifics
1. Any preference on screen resolution?
2. Will you be using the tablet outdoors?
3. Do you require a pen? With or without pressure sensitivity? Do you prefer Wacom or N-trig?
The higher the better, minimum of 1024x768. And while it would be amazing to work outdoors, I'll stick with buying an anti-glare protector. Also, Wacom >> N-trig.
Component Specifics
2. What sort of inputs do you require, if any?
Optimally, a BluRay burner, but a DVD-burner is adequate. Minimum 2 full USB ports. Won't say no to added card slots.

Re: Lightest tabletPC with DVD playback?
Oops. I meant to say that all tablets and slates that I have seen under 4 lbs have no optical device unless they are paired with a heavy and clunky docking bay.

Re: Lightest tabletPC with DVD playback?
The only tablet pc's that currently have a DVD player are the Fujistu's in the "t" line-- the t902, 901, 900, 5010, etc. The t902 is noticeably thinner than older varieties at 1.2" thick rather than 1.5", but it's still not under 4 lbs. If you want DVD, that's your best bet.
You could also getting a UltraBase with a Lenovo "x" series tablet (230, 220, 201, 200..). The tablet itself can be as light as 3.5 lbs with the smaller battery (giving around 3 hrs battery life), or 4.0 lbs with the bigger battery and 6-8 hrs battery life, and the UltraBase provides the modularity of a DVD player or an extra HD. However, it's not really portable with the UltraBase attached-- it's quite thick and heavy, and is more of a "desktop" interlocking kind of idea.
It works great as a "home" for the tablet. I occassionally use it around the house to watch DVD's mobilely with my daughter, but its not light weight or thin-- probably adds 3/4" and an extra pound to the x200t.Currently own:
x230t Outdoor-- Win 7 x64, 256 GB SSD , 16 gb ram, 6-cell
Thinkpad Tablet 2- Win 8.1, 64 GB SSD, 2 GB RAM
Owned: Motion le1600 VA, le1700/ VA/ UVA, and j3400, Lenovo X200t Superbright, x200t/ x201t Superbright Outdoor, Fujitsu t5010, t902, q552

Re: Lightest tabletPC with DVD playback?
Thanks Steve. That's pretty much in line with what I've researched. If a laptop has an internal optical drive (by design or by dock), it's a minimum of 4.5 lbs.

ANDERSON — As many of the matches were during the first day of the 34th Community Hospital Anderson Tennis Classic at the Anderson University tennis courts, the late afternoon Women's A Doubles match between the Hammel sisters and the McCoy mother-daughter tandem was a family affair.
Sisters Alex and Michaela Hammel took the match 6-1, 6-3 over Katie McCoy and her mother Dru to move onto the finals in the Women's A Doubles division which will be held next Saturday.
The Hammels dominated the match's first several games, quickly going up 5-0 including breaking the McCoys, who had cruised to an easy win 6-0, 6-0 earlier in the day in the Mother/Daughter division, in each of their first three service games.
But the McCoys fought back for a break of their own. Katie struggled during the game, hitting several balls short into the net, but she and her mom managed to fight and push the game into deuce. Alex followed by hitting a shot into the net and sending one wide in the next two points, giving the McCoys their first and only game of the set. The Hammel sisters held serve their next game to take the set 6-1.
The Hammel sisters came back out to begin the second set just as dominating as the first, holding serve and then breaking the McCoys to go up 2-0. After each point, they could be seen laughing, joking and high-fiving each other while Katie became more frustrated each time she lost a ball into the net.
But she and her mom went on a run of their own. Down 30-15 in the third game, they managed to win three straight points to pull off their second break of the match. They followed it up by winning their first service game of the match to pull even 2-2.

HUNTSVILLE Ala. (WZDX) - Huntsville could soon be trending on Twitter if the city wins the 2013 Social Media Tourism Symposium.
If Huntsville wins, 300 to 400 social media enthusiasts will come to Huntsville in November, and they will be blogging, tweeting, and Facebook posting about what makes the city special.
Before that can happen, Huntsville must beat Cleveland in voting Thursday to make it to the final round, where the Rocket City would face off against Missoula.
"It would mean an economic boost to our community. It would also mean a ton of valuable social media exposure. Last year's winner was El Paso, and they received 7000 tweets and 700 instagram photos that reached over ten million people. We would love that kind of online exposure," said Jessica Carlton, with the Huntsville/Madison County Convention and Visitors Bureau.
The way to help Huntsville win is to vote Thursday between 9 a.m. and 9 p.m. at facebook.com/sometourism.
The Visitors Bureau will have street teams in place tomorrow at Bridge Street, Parkway Place Mall and UAHuntsville with iPads on hand that people can use to vote.

The barbeque pits started rolling in before nightfall. Volunteers set them up one by one in preparation of an overnight mission to smoke 1000 pounds of meat.
The peppery scent of seasoned ribs, brisket and sausage filled the air outside the Cottonwood Bar and Grill located at 3422 North Shepherd in Houston, even though the meat hadn't hit the grill.
This cookout is about more than just eating.
"Their main goal is to take homeless veterans and find housing for them," said Eric Rhine, spokesperson for Eat for a Cause.
And now anyone, with an appetite, can help the Houston Housing Authority and Eat For A Cause meet that goal.
Already on board? Austin- based pit master, John Mueller. You may recognize Mueller from his appearance on the Travel Channel's 'No Reservations.'
Mueller will be manning the smokers Friday night into Saturday morning.
"John Mueller said he wanted the profit from this event to go toward helping the homeless, and we thought homeless veterans made sense," Rhine said as volunteers got things in order.
Tory Gunsolley, president and CEO of the Houston Housing Authority was among those volunteering.
"Just last week we did the 'point in time' count," Gunsolley said. "We went out one night, went under bridges into encampments, places you drive by everyday, and there are homeless veterans and non veterans out there that literally have no place to live."
Mueller's barbeque will be sold by the pound starting Saturday, February 9, 2013 at noon. The proceeds will help homeless veterans settle into apartments, put food on their tables, and furniture in their bedrooms.
Most of the veterans secured their apartments with vouchers from the Housing Authority, but even those are in demand.
"We opened the waiting list in the fall," Gunsolley said. "Over 80,000 (people) applied in seven days. Those (applicants) aren't all veterans, but for the veterans list there's a strong demand, and we could use more (vouchers)."

Officers have arrested a man who tried to get by agents with 13 packages of methamphetamine at the San Luis port on Wednesday.
The U.S. Customs and Border Protection said officers found a non-factory compartment behind the backseat of 43-year-old David Nunez's Toyota sedan that had 14 pounds of meth inside of it.
The drugs, valued at $225,000, were seized and Nunez was turned over to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's Homeland Security Investigations.

Gun carriage travels from St Clements to St Pauls
The carriage made its way at a pace of 70 steps per minute down The Strand, Temple Bar, Fleet Street and Ludgate Hill to St Paul's. The wheels of the 1.5-ton carriage had been changed from steel to rubber so it runs more quietly on the road.
The Band of Her Majesty's Royal Marines Portsmouth led the procession, striking eight bass drum beats to set the pace and playing funeral marches by Beethoven, Mendelssohn and Chopin.
The route was lined by members of all three services in full ceremonial day dress, officers wearing black armbands, with colours draped and rifle muzzles pointed downwards towards the ground as a mark of respect.
More than 4,000 police officers were on duty to ensure security amid heightened fears of a terror attack sparked by the bombing of the Boston marathon in the US.
As the procession moved forward, a gun salute was fired at one-minute intervals. Among the three 105mm light guns operated by the Honourable Artillery Company were two used in the Falklands, which were last fired in anger at Goose Green and the final assault on Port Stanley.

Cupcakes Comic
I love this comic, and take your time on finishing it because then it will be the best ending ever.
So gorey But I like it. I did characters to react it:
South Italy
Pinkie Pie
Lucy (From Fairy Tail)
North Italy.
Love your comic!
u no it would have been better if....I WOULD ACTULY FINISH IT>
I just feel that rainbow dash dying is cool but very... original if you know what I am saying. It's not very creative and then what, pinkie does this torture to another pony? It's just that I could see that ending from a mile away. But as usual everyone is entitled to their own opinion, and keep staying awesome pinkanon!
#Pinkanon Swag
This is for pinkanon only. Please keep doing these, because I really want to see da ending.
I sense a lot of negativity from both sides (that this is a little extreme but at the same time it is great art and after all, just a story) and I feel like I can clear that air. The ending is what counts the most and I think this ending is perfect and will be like a middle ground while at the same time awesome.
titled: It was all a set for a gory horror flick being made by the main cast for charity.
Of course it doesn't have to follow this exact plot and I don't mind the gore I just want the ending to be good and if possible good / humorous where you can laugh on it.
And of course everyone is entitled to their very own opinion and ending, and let me know what you think
Stay awesome pinkanon!

It's definitely cold out there. My wife and I went for a 13 mile training run this morning (she ran; I rode the support/chase bicycle). I wore gloves, beanie and a jacket and I was still cold. This is California!
(Canadians please take note: we have surfing during Christmas break here and I don't want to hear comparisons between my cold and your sub zero snowstorms. It's all relative.)
Maybe you have a medical condition that gets worse in the cold. Multiple sclerosis patients don't do too well in either extreme, hot or cold. Amputees will often complain of increased pain in cold weather or when the barometer changes too quickly.
Deborah Leader, About.com's Guide to COPD, has tips for COPD patients who experience shortness of breath in cold weather. COPD is already a tough disease to have, but extremes in temperature can be particularly difficult for this group. If you are a COPD patient, I'm not telling you anything you don't already know.
Deborah's tips are good for more than just COPD patients, so if you have any chronic respiratory disorder that gets worse in the cold, see if these help.

"The only way that we can live, is if we grow. The only way that we can grow is if we change. The only way that we can change is if we learn. The only way we can learn is if we are exposed. And the only way that we can become exposed is if we throw ourselves out into the open. Do it. Throw yourself." (C. JoyBell C.)
Rush County Schools are taking steps to immerse students into the world of education through iPads. In a very real sense, the schools are throwing themselves into it and enjoying the many benefits of this additional learning tool. The schools are on an iPad journey.
Milroy Elementary School recently added 10 iPads to the classrooms. There will soon be approximately 80 iPads in the Rush County School system. The iPads have the added benefits of providing another way to interact with technology via the use of touch as opposed to a keyboard and mouse, as well as providing a wealth of apps for nearly everything. Many are finding that the saying "There's an app for that..." really does hold true.
Some benefits include:
• Special Education - differentiated learning, accommodate students with special needs through use of apps, provide touch interactive learning.
• Kindergarten - touch feedback, basic eye and hand coordination, learning the basics such as shape recognition, the alphabet and words.
• Sixth Grade - increase student engagement, conduct web research, use "edutainment" apps to learn and play simultaneously, explore the world around us (i.e. Stellarium and LeafSnap).
"Rush County Schools can take great pride in knowing we are on the forefront of technology from K-12, to college and career-readiness, and beyond," Shawn Iverson (Rush County Schools Coordinator of Technology) said.

Lee County-- Lee County leaders may soon find out if consolidating emergency services is a good option.
County commissioners are exploring the idea of cross-training EMS workers and firefighters. The idea hasn't gone very far in the past.
Lee County administrator Alan Ours said Wednesday night he's talking with the Carl Vinson Institute about performing a study to outline the pros and cons of the idea. A committee of Lee County leaders and citizens could also work with the institute.
