GQ's Fall Gadget Guide
We've gathered the coolest, prettiest, techiest gear you'll be stocking up on this season
Pentax K-01 camera
For the last few years we've been rambling on about the benefits of the interchangeable lens camera (ILC, if you wanna show off in a crowd of nerds). You get all the killer photo-taking power of a bulky procamera—including swappable lenses and a big sensor—in a smaller body. Except Marc Newson, designer of the 16.3-megapixel K-01, missed that last part of the memo. Instead he created something that looks part Playskool, part pop-art. It's bigger than the average ILC, sure, but it's also more intuitive and looks a hell of a lot cooler hanging around your neck.

Vivekananda at Chicago
Vivekananda at Chicago
The historical speech by Swami Vivekananda at the World`s Parliament of Religions, Chicago on 11th September, 1893.
"My dear Brothers and sisters of America, the long night is at last drawing to a close. Miseries and sorrows are disappearing. Ours is a sacred country. She is gradually waking up, thanks to the fresh breeze all around. Her might no one can overcome".
This was the magical speech that Swamiji made in the Conference of World Religions held at Chicago. It all started in Mysore when Swamiji got to know Diwan Swshadri Iyer and also the Maharaja of Mysore. The Swamiji`s discourse in Sanskrit at a gathering of scholars deeply impressed the Maharaja. One day on being questioned about his future plans, Swamiji replied "India is the land of many religions and schools of philosophy. The Western world has progressed in science. Human welfare is possible only by a reconciliation of the two. Therefore, I want to go to America in order to propagate Vedanta". Impressed by Swamiji`s plans, the Maharaja of Mysore decided to fund his trip. Swamiji thanked the Maharaja and said that he would make use of the offer when needed and took leave of him.
Swamiji next visited Ramanad. Bhaskara Setupati was the ruler of Ramanad at that time. He discussed with Swamiji the problems that the country was facing. The prince treated him with great respect. He came up with the idea to send Swamiji to the Conference of World Religions in America. The prince promised of taking care of Swamiji`s all expenses. Assuring the prince that he would give a serious thought to his offer, he left for Rameshwaram and finally to Kanyakumari. He swam towards the rocks and sat on it.
Surrounded there by the sea, he reflected on the state of affairs in India. The thought of the poverty of the masses in this country made him miserable. He decided that unless casteism was rooted out, there could be no salvation for his countrymen. He concluded that his first task was to go Western countries and expose the spiritual values of India. He would then return to awaken his own sleeping land. It was in Madras that pressure mounted on him to go to America. The fame he won in Madras traveled to Hyderabad. Thousands gathered at the meeting addressed by him there. It was here that Swamiji addressed the first ever-public meeting.
After he returned to Madras from Hyderabad, he started making preparations for his tour abroad. Contributions towards his travel expenses poured in from all parts of the country. But he kept with him only as much money as he needed for the journey. He returned the rest of the money to the donors. When Swamiji reached the city of Chicago, he went into a hotel and enquired about the conference of World Religions to which he realized that the conference was three months away. Swamiji was soon loosing on his money owing to his stay at Chicago. Chicago being a big city and very expensive, Swamiji moved to the nearby city of Boston.
On the way he met a lady. She was from Boston. She was amazed at Swamiji`s strange attire, his magnificent physique, and his bright eyes. She decided that he was no ordinary man. She begged Swamiji to be her guest. He agreed. Occasionally he addressed meetings at small clubs. The subject of his talk was Indian Culture and the Hindu Dharma. Gradually many scholars became his friends. One of them was John Henry Wright. He was greatly impressed by Swamiji`s scholarship. Swamiji went back to Chicago with no money. He later resided at the residence of Mrs. George Hails.
The conference started on 11th September 1893. Thousands of delegates belonging to deferent countries of the world had gathered at the conference. Vivekananda was the youngest of them all. When it was his turn to speak, his throat went dry. Besides, he did not have, like the other delegates, a prepared speech. He requested the President to let him be the last speaker, His turn did come as the last speaker, he prayed fervently to Sri Ramakrishna and Mother Sharadadevi, and stood up to speak. When he began his address in his pleasing voice with the words "Brothers and Sisters of America," there was a thunderous applause; that lasted for a full three minutes. When it subsided at last he continued his short speech. He said that people born in different religions finally reach the same God, as river born in different places finally reaches the sea. He empathetically stated that no religion is superior or inferior.
Everyone was impressed by Swamiji`s speech. He became the darling of the crowds. Whenever he rose to speak there was deafening applause. Even as the conference was in session, many institutions and associations extended invitations to Swami Vivekananda. Infact he was complimented for having certain traits that were similar to that of Jesus Christ. The perception of the foreigners about India being a `country of ignorant people` changed after post-Chicago speech given by Swamiji.
Meanwhile, Swamiji received pressing invitations from England. A rousing reception awaited him in London when he arrived there. The newspapers were all praise for the Hindu Yogi`s oratory and outlook. Many became his disciples. Among them was Margaret Nivedita. She came to India and settled here. Swami Vivekananda returned to India after his foreign tour lasting four years.

What are the advantages of "daemonizing" a server application over running the program in console mode?
Having it run as a daemon means you can
Essentially all 'real' services that are running 'in production' (as opposed to debug mode) run that way.
I think it is preventing from accidentally closing an app and you have one more terminal free. But I personally don't see big difference between "screen" program and "daemonizing"
The main point would be to detach the process from the terminal so that the process does not terminate when the user logs out from the terminal. If you run a program in console mode, it will terminate when you log out, because this is the default behavior for a process when it receives a SIGHUP signal.
Note that there is more to writing a daemon than just calling daemon(3). See How to write a unix daemon for more information.

Allison: Our 2015 Ferrari will be different in every area
James Allison talking about the 2015 car Ahead of the Italian Grand Prix at Monza, Scuderia Ferrari Technical Director James Allison met up with journalists and here are highlights of his responses to their questions. There's a lot of talk about the power unit, with the engine getting most of the blame. Is that really the case? What is lacking in the F14T? James Allison: Mainly, we are behind our rivals Mercedes in terms of power, but also when it comes to aerodynamic downforce. It's difficult to split the blame in percentage terms, as it's the car as a whole which is not competitive enough. We need to work on every aspect, it's not just a question of the engine or just the...

The Bridge Clinic offers care to uninsured
The Rock River Times interviewed Dr. John Rudzinski, a physician at The Bridge Clinic, operated by First Presbyterian Church at 406 N. Main St., Rockford. The clinic is a cooperative effort between physicians and student health care workers in the greater Rockford area to provide care to the uninsured population of northern Illinois.
TRRT: When was the clinic started, and by whom?
Dr. Rudzinski: It was started in January 2009 by a group of people — myself, Dr. Annette Olin, Dr. Nadeem Sidiqui, Rev. Bob Hildebrand, Bob Langford (church representative), Michelle Strand-Dorsey (social worker) and Nurse Nicky Bennett.
TRRT: How many medical staff are on duty? What are the hours?
Dr. Rudzinski: Hours are 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., Saturdays. Staff on duty are a nurse, a volunteer from the community, and a doctor or a nurse practitioner from the University of Illinois College of Medicine. We have two exam rooms. We might see 12-16 patients in four hours.
TRRT: What types of illnesses do people come to the clinic to get treatment for?
Dr. Rudzinski: The majority — the single biggest issue is hypertension. We try to use the $4 prescription medicines that are available at essentially all the major pharmacies, ranging from Schnuck's to Wal-Mart, Target or whatever. We try to stabilize the people. They may have been taking a very expensive blood pressure medication, and if we can switch them to something that they can afford, it can be a lifesaving thing.
When we started, we had people from the community trying to help the people most at risk. We work with Crusader Clinic. We're not trying to supplant Crusader Clinic or other clinics in the community. We're just trying to be a stopgap measure for those people who don't know what's going on in the community. They were working, they lost their job, they lost their insurance. They're not eligible for Medicare. They don't know how to afford medical care. We help them to the extent we can.
We don't want people over 65 because they've got Medicare, and we don't take children because children are eligible for programs in the state of Illinois. We're looking for those people who are most at risk, in their 40s, 50s or early 60s. They're the people who will have a hard time getting into [regular care facilities]. We are especially targeting people who've lost their jobs or lost their insurance and can't get to their regular doctors. They're not sure what to do. We're trying to bridge them over until they can get to someone else.
TRRT: If something looks serious, what type of referrals can you make, given the limited income of the patients?
Dr. Rudzinski: We had a guy come in who was very ill. He was having breathing difficulty, so we drove him over to the emergency room, and he got admitted to the hospital. He was very ill. In the worst case, we call 911. If they have too much of a disease process, we try to refer them to Crusader Clinic or help them in any way we can.
Since its inception in 2009, the clinic has had a robust student participation with 70 percent of UIC-Rockford's graduating medical school class having participated in the clinic's programs.

I got a sample when buying another perfume. It was a great surprise. I tried other scents of Davidoff, but this one I liked. It has a sweet, dark, oriental scent. Gives an adult smell, but not too old. I would recommend it for boys/men around the age of 30 - 40. With a office job you will make the blitzz!

Comments about Davidoff Adventure Cologne:
The product advertised is Adventure COLOGNE, and the Fragrance X label said it was cologne - BUT - the Davidoff label on the box advertised the product as after shave. I returned them unopened and expect a refund shortly, but I am going to be very cautious about future purchases. Major credibility issue for me.

Bought this for our father. It is his favourite fragrance. We could not find it in any drug stores or department stores so we ordered online. The service from FragranceX was awesome- up to date emails, tracking service, even details about what happened at customs when the product crossed border and prompt delivery.
So happy! Will definitely order from this site again!

Stoner 2
Lorenzo 1
Got to be Stoner for showing such dominance, though i will say this. Lorenzo thoroughly impressed me with how agressive he was at the start of each race. Several times he would let the brakes off and go around the outside of other riders into the first corner, so good on him for that.

Depends on the Criteria for the assesment.
Soley on-track performance and Stoner has blown everyone into the weeds - no doubt.
Off track and to my mind Lorenzo wins through his maturity and ambassador role.
Winging capacity and well thats Mr Rossi for his abilty to, well....
Is there anyone else worth mentioning?

has to be Stoner .... but i too have Lorenzo a clse second. i'm quite surprised how i've come to admire the fella in MotoGP, especially after his 250 antics.
gotta love your eternal optimism elbowz - why will 2012 not be a Stoner vs Lorenzo season? sometimes, professional makes more sense ...
Is there anyone else worth mentioning?
Absolutely and i'm sure he will be.

Firstly the disappointments.
The Zimmer frame award for the pensioners race to boost their retirement income. A clear win for Capirossi over Edwards
Never rose above their station. In their own ways Hayden and Dovizioso.
Rookies that crashed their brains out whilst showing genuine MotoGP speed. Both of them. Although the winner here for me was Abrahams with the more difficult steed to master.
Infuriating Frenchmen that are on occasion blisteringly fast but just as prone to farce. As always RdeP.
Cumulus Nimbus award for Spainish 250 graduates trying to shine from the shadows of their more illustrious compatriots. Bautista over Babera if only because he showed real turns of speed - usually just before chucking the sky blue Rizla package at the scenery. Dishonourable mention to Toni Elias for not adapting his riding style better. Honourable mention to Toni Elias for embarrassing Ezpeleta with his re-graduation to MotoGP.
Dani Pedrosa award for displays of dazzling speed combined with crippling injury...goes to Dani Pedrosa. Having won the award three years on the trot Dani gets to keep the trophy.
The 'give me a wide berth award'. Posthumously to Simoncelli. Say what you like. I respect (or otherwise) deeds done in the land of the living. Simoncelli was a liability. When he finally reined himself in he was slow, yet still dangerous.
I'm only here because I'm Japanese. Hiro Aoyama. A real let down.
I want to be an Alien. Ben Spies. Still progressing, although finding that last percent every bit as difficult to find as thought.
Heroic displays of maturity. The contenders both being young men growing up in the full glare of the MotoGP spotlight. Stoner for rising above Rossi's cattiness. Winner - Lorenzo for actually really maturing and showing there's a nice guy within the artifice. A dignified hard nosed never say die world champ.
Ultimate man of the year? Well that's a no brainer isn't it. We can confidently dismiss Casey Stoner for being nothing more than Johnny on the spot and doing Honda's bidding. Ultimately, as with the nags, the RCV won the title and Stoner was the mere jockey. Which really leaves but one stand out candidate.
So the winner of the Carl Fogarty award for the 'Greatest There Ever Was' as voted for by all MCN's oompa loompa's - Valentino Rossi! For enduring the most challenging year of his GP career. Despite worrying moments of weakness with statements like " I can't ride it like Stoner" "where is the 5th row" and "I don't know I'm not an engineer"
Was the result ever in doubt?
P.S. the "Who's the Daddy" award due February 2012. One nominee - C Stoner.
I just cant see Dani ever getting the crown.
Sure he's fast and has the talent and guts and the intelligence (usually), but he is just too fragile/prone/unlucky and then there is CS and JL. Even if Dani had a good run at the title without injury the other two are more bloody-minded and will win through stubborness.
Abrahams has been a good man to watch this past year, there were low expectations and doubters abound but the kid showed some real talent to make the beastie work - winglets and all.
RdP - rate the guy, if he was Honda mounted last year I would have expected podiums from him. He is on par with Dovi and Spies, just doesnt have the backing.
Role on Malaysia

Susan Boyle Goes Black and White in New Music Videoby Hilton Hater at . Comments
A month after debuting her latest single on America's Got Talent, Susan Boyle has released the official music video for "You Have To Be There."

For now, though, just sit back and enjoy a lovely video from a talented artist. View it below.
where, when was this video made?

Is the Social Enterprise Bubble About to Burst?by Laura Burke
What Failing Taught Me About Positioning a Social Venture For Long Term Sustainabilityby Shana Dressler
This is the first story in our new series on social enterprise in Africa by Laura Burke, a reporter based in Cote d'Ivoire.
Accra, Ghana, is a tropical capital on the Gulf of Guinea, but almost no one swims in the ocean here. If you are not turned off by the mounds of trash the ocean continuously heaves onto the beach, the water's unnatural brownish color hints something is awry. The city's open sewers empty straight into the ocean. And then, of course, there is Lavender Hill.
Every day, just past a lighthouse on Accra's western edge, trucks dump more than 250,000 gallons of human feces directly onto the beach and into the ocean at Lavender Hill.
"That's over 100 trucks dumping continuously, day in and day out, where the sludge is channeled down the beach and into the sea," says Ashley Murray, the 32-year old founder and CEO of Waste Enterprisers, a Ghana-based business with the mission to improve urban sanitation.
In the slums of Nima and Jamestown, owners of toilet blocks have to pay dumping companies to empty their pay latrines, Murray says. When they can't pay trucks to come empty the waste, the toilets shut down, and people have to find other places to defecate. Ride your bike or walk along Accra's beach road, and you can't escape the smell of shit.
In sub-Saharan Africa, Murray says, such practices are par for the course. More 85 percent of the human waste generated in Ghana and in sub-Saharan Africa is dumped into the environment without any treatment, according to the World Water Assessment Program. This results in an ongoing public health disaster: The World Health Organization reports that diarrheal disease amounts to an estimated 4.1 percent of the total global disease burden and is responsible for the deaths of 1.8 million people every year.
Why not just build sewage treatment plants? International funders have tried that before. "If you look around Ghana and pretty much anywhere in sub-Saharan Africa, you will find broken down treatment plants," Murray says. There is even one by Lavender Hill. The plant was built with international funding, but when the funders left, the plant soon sputtered to a halt. It now sits idle.
Building sewage treatment plants, she says, is "based on a Western approach to sanitation." One assumes the government will bill households, that households will pay those bills, and that collected fees will cover the cost of operating the plant. In reality, governments have been slow and inefficient in setting up billing systems. Even when they do, paying for sanitation simply isn't a priority for folks living on less than $2 a day.
Still, households and toilet block owners currently pay the truck companies as much as $80 pick up their waste and then dump it at Lavender Hill. And there is no monetary incentive to improve the system.
Instead of charging people to have their septic tanks and pit latrines emptied, Murray wants to pay them for the waste—or at least take it for free—then process or convert it into a product that will sell. She wants to reinvest some of the profits back into the sanitation sector. "We want to show that we can do good and be a profitable company," Murray says.
So far, Waste Enterprisers, along with research and funding partners including Columbia University, the Gates Foundation, and the Swiss Federal Institute of Aquatic Science and Technology, has numerous plans to process human feces. They want to turn our crap into an industrial fuel used in cement kilns, turn stagnant sewage treatment ponds into profitable fish farms, and finally, build the world's first ever fecal-sludge-to-biodiesel plant, which will be funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
"We're really on the cutting edge of waste reuse, particularly on this continent. There is still this status quo syndrome of 'waste is something to be gotten rid of.' Only now in the U.S. and Europe, reusing waste is becoming more mainstream. I think in the next decade or so it will become the thing to do," Murray says.
Right now, researchers at Columbia's School of Engineering and Applied Sciences and Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology are developing the technology to turn fecal sludge into biodiesel.
Fecal sludge, by the way, is the industry term for the stuff you find inside latrines. It's more concentrated than the watery sewage we have in the industrialized world, and according to Kartik Chandran, associate professor of earth and environmental engineering at Columbia's engineering school, "much, much better for fuel."
It is hard not to find Waste Enterprisers' concept a bit, well, amusing. Murray, maybe a bit ambitiously, "would love for us to see fecal sludge as a raw material." She speaks passionately, and seriously, about the "calorific value of fecal sludge" and how to "develop a sewage sludge management strategy."
But break into a smile, and she gets it. She is used to hearing people make friendly cracks about her "poop business," and she says it doesn't bother her. "We joke about it too!" she says good-naturedly. But, with ten years of experience in the sanitation sector, any discomfort the Massachusetts native ever felt talking about human feces wore off a long time ago.
It was only a few years ago that Murray decided business was the best way to improve urban sanitation. For years, Murray's interest in reusing waste was "purely environmental." But in 2008, while conducting research for her doctoral dissertation in China, she had a realization. She had been approaching local government officials trying to get them to adopt reuse programs, but the officials were not persuaded by her environmental arguments. They treated it like "icing on the cake," she says.
"I realized the environmental argument was never going to get me anywhere," she laughs. "I starting thinking, OK, what's a more compelling argument for reusing?" she says. "And I started thinking about the economics."
She thought about how those in the field of sanitation had been calling waste a "resource" for years, but no one was really treating it like one. "If you are calling it a resource, if it's a resource, then by definition it has a financial value, so why aren't we trying to harness that for the benefit of the sanitation sector?" she wondered.
Soon the idea for Waste Enterprisers came together, and since then, Murray has been wondering if—through business—she might be able to bring about a "sanitation revolution" in Africa. "Even if you did this straight as a for-profit business, it's still going to provide a lot of social value, but [for us] it's how are you really going to maximize [the social value]," Waste Enterprisers COO Timothy Wade says.
Wade, who holds an MBA with a focus on social enterprise, has calculated that the projects they can make an "attractive profit" and then add carbon credits to that. "Then you have a pretty attractive business model," he says. "And you're getting rid of, literally, all of the shit."
But even if they get the technology right, will the biodiesel be cheap enough to compete with diesel? Chandran says that while company executives are still figuring out the numbers, they are estimating the fuel will cost about $3.50 a gallon, slightly lower than the price of diesel in Ghana.
And Murray is not putting all her eggs in one basket, either. She thinks one of the group's other businesses, an industrial fuel, will be commercialized before the biodiesel. "The calorific value of dried fecal sludge ranges from being the equivalent to wood, to being equivalent to coal," Murray says. In Japan, China, and parts of Europe, wastewater treatment plants are already sending that watery sewage sludge to cement kilns, where it is burned as a fuel. "So I've been really eager to try to apply that management solution to fecal sludge," she says.
And Waste Enterprisers already has a small revenue stream from its third business: fish farms. The company is taking poorly performing waste stabilization ponds, and creating incentives to maintain them by making money off of the ponds through raising and selling catfish. By the time the water gets to the last pond, where the fish live, the water is treated enough to raise fish, Wade says.
But are people willing to eat fish that have been raised on human feces, even if the waste has been semi-treated? And when you get down to it, will consumers be receptive to any product made out of human feces?
Because the diesel and fuel are meant for engines and industrial uses, Murray says, human contact with it is limited. And once produced, it will be indistinguishable from other biodiesel. She acknowledges there may be more social barriers to using the waste for raising fish. Studies show there is much greater social resistance to reusing human waste in agriculture than in industry, she says.
But if the fish farms don't gain traction, the folks at Waste Enterprisers aren't worried. "We have these three businesses and we're exploring all three as an option," Wade says. "We're not a company that does one thing."

... cool this will be fun. But I had no idea how insanely fun it would be. When we got there the first thing that I did was go to the king of the jungle gyms. After a while I found a slide so steep that it almost curved at a 90 degrees. It was so fun that I did it for about 20 minutes straight. There was also a black house and it was a pitch black maze that had only one way of getting to the top. When you got to the top you had to get down to the bottom by climbing ...

Sad that they were caught out and all but the father died in the concentration camps. What's sadder is the way Anne died. She died one month earlier than the liberation from TB.

We caught a train back to the city. I returned to the hotel for a few minutes to change, and then some people from my class and I returned to the city to find a bar to watch the USA vs. Germany game at. There were quite a few Germany fans, but the Dutch were cheering for the US because Germany is ...

... come outside and try to persuade you inside! I ended up going to Teddy's Diner which was near my hostel. The food was completely bland although the service was good.
After dinner I walked around the red light district out of curiosity more than anything. It's funny how that place fascinated me when I was 22 yet now it looks not much different from so many other cities. I did have a nice chat with a young prostitute who was behind one of the glass doors (prostitutes ...

The school board has a hired an outside company to "assist" with their search for a new superintendent of Pickens County schools, following a called meeting last week.
School Board chairperson Wendy Lowe announced at the close of their regular meeting Thursday that they would use King and Cooper, a company that has worked on 27 superintendent searches in Georgia, to help find a replacement for Mike Ballew, who retired at the end of last year.
The board decided to use the outside company to help notify other school systems in Georgia and surrounding states of the vacancy as well as complete background checks of potential candidates at the called meeting.
Board Member John Trammell made clear at the regular meeting that the board is using this firm to "assist" not lead in the hiring process.
Lowe discussed how King and Cooper will be used in a followup interview. The board has also prepared a document "Superintendent of Schools Job Qualifications."

The regular basketball season may be over, but look out for the All-Stars from the Pickens Rec. Dept.
Rec. Dept. Director Melinda Logan said, "The season went great, with the exception of all the snow causing cancellations."
Games for the All-Star teams start next Thursday Feb. 17, lasting until Saturday Feb. 19.
During a pre-trial hearing Friday, Feb. 11, a GBI agent described how Ben Thomas Abbott confessed to the killing of his in-laws the previous Wednesday, hoping to collect on their life insurance policies and keep his family from losing their home.
During the emotional hearing, Abbott's wife described the night her parents were killed as her husband, shackled and dressed in orange prison fatigues, sat at the defense table with his chin tucked tightly to his chest, not making eye contact with anyone during the hour-long hearing in the county's main courtroom.
The hearing, which saw onlookers sobbing and leaving the courtroom, was held in front of Magistrate Judge Allen Wigington to determine if there was adequate evidence for the case to be bound over to superior court, which it was judged to be. The next step will be for the case to be presented to a grand jury.
During the course of the hearing, District Attorney Joe Hendricks only called two witnesses: GBI Special Agent Dustin Hamby and the accused's wife, Trinity Abbott.

Great staff, pool and lounge area next to pool was amazing. Great
cocktails from the bar in the pool area too. Couples spa package was
incredible. Sushi downstairs was great! Mr Nut (Nud) our driver (who you
should find out the front of the hotel most days) was the best! Took us
to a great tailor and showed us all of the best spots for shopping etc. - Anonymous
Very good location close to BTS stations National Stadium and Siam and to Khlong stop. Department stores are around the corner as well. The staff is just great. They are very friendly! When we arrived in the morning we got coffee and tea for free. At our departure they helped us to get a taxi to a far out destination for a reasonable price. Breakfast is great and included: Muffins, eggs, fruits, toast and so on... Our room was not too big but everything needed was there/ Bed and bedside table, - Anonymous
Huang Chang is a really stylish place to stay. It is so well designed and the stuff is very friendly. It is very close to the Siam paragon Shopping mall. I would come again and can recommend to stay there. - Anonymous
We were welcomed the minute we entered, our bags trolleyed away and
check in was quick. The neighbourhood has heaps of restaurants, shopping
districts and pretty much everything conveniently located at walking
distance. Pratunum Market is just a hop,skip, jump away. Getting there
from the airport is fairly easy if you dont have heavy luggage. I would
reccommend you take the airport link to Ratchaparop and just walk it.
Ask anyone the way to white palace and it's just a turn away from
there! - t - Anonymous
location was excellent, price was decent, breakfast was good. Hotel shuttle taxi service very useful. - Anonymous
Great little hotel with beautiful gardens. We have chosen it because of
its location. It is 15 minutes away from Grand Palace and Wat Po and it
is opposite Wat Rachabophit which was a bonus. We also liked the fact
that is wasn't near busy street or on horribly loud and busy Khao
San Rd. All rooms were facing the gardens and we didn't hear any
traffic or other noises. Room and bathroom was nice and clean and had a
kettle which was a bonus as we like our tea and coffee in the evening.
Huge plus f - Anonymous
The Breakfast was extremely sumptuous. There was a choice between
American Breakfast (fried egg/omelette, 2 slices of toast, sausage,
bacon, ham) or fried noodles or fried rice. Portions were generous. They
also serve coffee/tea, orange juice and water at every breakfast.
Rooms are very clean and spacious. Aircon works fine and toilets are very clean too.
Location is very convenient - within 10 minutes walk to Ratchathewi Station and Platinum Mall/Pratunam Market. Many massage parlours nearby - Anonymous
What an amazing design! I really loved the room with the curvy walls and huge bathrooms. Everything was impeccably clean. The staff speak excellent English and were extremely polite. It's a short walk to the main shopping malls and small and cozy house-museum of Jim Thompson. Nice swimming pool and amazing spa in the hotel. Free coffee-machine in the lobby. - Anonymous

The #1 most requested topic on IWT
36 Comments- Get free updates of new posts here
I decided to take a last-minute ski trip this weekend.
Here's a quick email I sent to my friends:
Last-minute ski trip
So you won't hear from me for the rest of the week. Which might be a good thing, because next week, we're launching into something totally new.
In fact, it's the #1-MOST REQUESTED TOPIC OF ALL TIME AT IWT!
Any guesses?
Is it how to grow all-natural eyebrows that rival the Amazon rainforest?
Is it how to eat spicier food than native Thai people?
Or perhaps…something else?
Here's a hint:
I decided to take the weekend trip yesterday (Tuesday). I built a lifestyle that lets me travel on a flexible schedule. And while I'm traveling — while I'm flying, and while I'm skiing — my business will generate enough revenue to pay for the trip many times over.
Anybody curious?
P.S. You can comment with your guesses, but please don't expect a reply. When I'm off the grid, I'm really offline.
Great guesses, everybody.
