BOSTON -- Memphis Grizzlies coach Lionel Hollins was looking for more energy from his team at TD Garden on Wednesday night. He got it. "It was a very gratifying win because we really got back to playing our brand of basketball," Hollins said after the Grizzlies raised their record to 20-9, the best start in franchise history, with a 93-83 victory over the struggling Boston Celtics. "The ball moved from side to side, we had about four 24-second violations from over-passing, but I'll take that. The pace was really good, and we defended and rebounded really well, so it was a very good win." Grizzlies point guard Mike Conley broke out of a shooting slump, scoring 23 points and dishing out nine assists while committing just one turnover in 44 minutes. Over the previous three games, he was 9-for-38 from the floor, 3-for-12 from 3-point range, but he went 8-for-15, 3-for-6 in this one. Rudy Gay, who also was struggling, had 19 points and six rebounds, and ...

Researchers at the University of California, San Diego School of Medicine say a "stress response" mechanism used by normal cells to cope with harsh or demanding conditions is exploited by cancer cells, which transmit the same stress signal to surrounding cells, triggering an inflammatory response in them that can aid tumor growth.
The findings are reported by Maurizio Zanetti, MD, professor of medicine and director of the Laboratory of Immunology at the UC San Diego Moores Cancer Center, and colleagues, and published in the April 4 early online edition of Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is the protein-making factory inside all cells. Increased physiological demands or disease conditions can sometimes cause proteins to misfold and accumulate in the ER. Cells typically respond by an ER stress response, which attempts to reset normal ER balance.
For normal cells, the ER stress response is transient. For tumor cells, it's life. Because they exist in an environment that's invariably difficult (their host is always trying to kill them, and oxygen and nutrient deprivation are frequent), tumor cells produce an on-going ER stress response, which helps them not only to survive, but to thrive.
According to Zanetti and colleagues, tumor cells generate "transmissible ER stress." Specifically, they induce bystander cells to issue a similar stress response, most notably nearby macrophages a type of white blood cell employed by the body's immune system to recognize and remove pathogens and cellular debris.
Recently, several laboratories, including some at UC San Diego, have underscored the crucial role of inflammation in promoting cancer growth. A consequence of "transmissible ER stress" points to "receiver" macrophages as an important source of inflammation, which serves as an environmental cue for cancer development.
"It's well-known that macrophages entering

I can imagine it going like this..
me: "Oh wow, did I have a bad dream."
counselor: "Oh yeah, what was it?"
me: "First, I had to slingshot around a sun to go back in time. Then, for some reason I had to disguise the ship as a Klingon ship, yet I was in Federation territory. Then I was in this bar fight for some reason, and I saw Devidians there and, Montgomery Scott. For some reason I had to keep asking him what kind of drink this girl liked so she would give me a part he needed. It was crazy. After I got him his part, I had to fight more of the Devidians until I was back on my ship. Then there were Klingons who thought I was from the house of Duras for some reason and started attacking me the whole time I was trying to blow up this comet. Eventually I took care of it and then Franklin Drake of all people somehow contacted me, told me about some time travel device he secretly had installed and then zipped me back to the future."

Also time to make sure the kids on bikes have lights, batteries, and a reflecting vest is a good idea too.
Kids will be coming back home at dinner time in the dark. They can't always be seen when they are riding without lights and reflectors don't work for cross traffic or if they happen to be riding on the wrong side of the road.

Governor Brown's Proposed Budget Could Be Bad News for Science Education
Posted: Wednesday, February 1st, 2012
by Jessica L. Sawko
In his recently proposed budget for 2012 – 2013, Governor Brown proposes to reform K-14 education mandates by eliminating nearly half of them. One mandate that he is recommending for elimination is the Graduation Requirements mandate that requires students to complete two years of science in order to graduate from high school. The proposed budget refers to this as an "unnecessary mandate." The proposal goes on to state that "local districts may choose to continue these activities at local discretion." (p. 140) Click here to view the Governor's Budget Summary – 2012-13 K Thru 12 Education. CSTA asks you to note that this is the first draft of the budget and there is work still to be done. As our colleagues at the Association of California School Administrators stated: "The governor's budget proposal is only the beginning of the yearly budget debate and discussion. Often in January, stakeholders tend to overreact to proposals which seem dire and certain to be implemented. Even as ACSA reviews the governor's proposal, it is challenging to keep the perspective that this is the first iteration of a budget that is likely to see some change in the coming months." Please read on to learn more about the issue and possible implications. CSTA will continue to monitor this issue and bring you updates as they are available.
On February 2, 2010, the Legislative Analyst's Office (LAO) published a report Education Mandates: Overhauling a Broken System. In this report the LAO, explains that the Graduation Requirement mandate passed in the 1980s was anticipated by the LAO to have minimal costs. However a 2004 superior court ruling expanded the scope of reimbursable activities associated with the mandate and it is now estimated that annual claims will reach $200 million per year. The LAO report cited the significant variations in reimbursement rates, ranging from $6 to $264 per student, depending on the district as one reason for the need for reforming the mandate. The LAO report suggests that: "requiring students to take two, rather than one, science class in order to graduate from high school now costs upwards of $200 million annually. Through a simple change to statute, the same requirement could be preserved at no cost to the state by clarifying that districts need to provide the additional science class as part of their regular course of study, which virtually all of them now do." Given the LAO's track record on analyzing the impact of the second year science graduation requirement on the state budget back in the 1980s, CSTA has serious doubts that eliminating the mandate will be as inconsequential as predicted in the report.
Unfortunately, the governor's budget proposal does not make mention of any recommended statute changes described in the LAO recommendation in order to maintain the requirement of two years of science for high school graduation. He simply suggests that giving school districts more flexibility is what they need. Perhaps the Governor is banking on the fact that two years of high school science is still required for admission to CSU/UC universities. CSTA called the governor's office for comment on the proposed mandate elimination and was informed that the Governor did not have a statement at this time.
In light of the experience we have all had with the implementation of NCLB, it is probable, as noted in a recent news article in the Santa Rosa Press Democrat by Phil Lafontaine of the California Department of Education, that given the flexibility provided under the proposed budget, "administrators might be tempted to cut the second science class and use those funds to support more English and math." He goes on to state that "there are some ramifications there in that the inequality could be children of poverty, children of low means, children that are struggling in school may not get science. How are they going to be competitive with children who are getting two, three, even four years?" Great question!
Also in the Santa Rosa Press Democrat article by Kerry Benefield, H.D. Palmer, spokesman for the state Department of Finance, was quoted as saying: "There is no reduction or elimination of dollars in association with the elimination of that mandate. This is being put forward as a part of a broader proposal to provide school districts with greater flexibility and greater local control." CSTA reached out to Mr. Palmer to clarify the statement about their being not reduction of dollars associated with the elimination of the mandate, however we did not hear back in time for this article.
CSTA also noted something that in light of his current budget proposal would be quite laughable, if it wasn't so tragic: on his 2010 campaign website he touted that during his first term as governor of California he: "Promoted more Math and Science: Through the State Board of Education and the Board of trustees of the CA State University System, we increased the graduation requirements to include 3 years of math and 2 years of science." In that same proposed education plan he promised to: "create local and state initiatives to increase school focus on science, history and the humanities–without reducing needed attention to math and English" and to "place special emphasis on teaching Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM). As part of the broader curriculum described above, we need to strengthen STEM teaching and increase the number of STEM graduates. California's economic growth depends on its continued leadership in innovation, technology, clean energy and other fields that require strong math and science training." How does eliminating the mandate for a second year of science in order to graduate high school fulfill this campaign promise?
CSTA will be posting more extensive information on this issue in the coming days. CSTA members will receive notice when the information is available. If you are not a member of CSTA, we encourage you to thank your colleagues that are, because their support made it possible for this information to be made available to you. We also encourage you to join CSTA today in order to help CSTA to continue informing you of the issues and fighting for science education in California.
We welcome your comments.

As K-8 specialist, I can tell you that eliminating the two years of science mandate will continue the discrimination that already exists at my level against minority children of poverty. These kids get either the bare minimum of science instruction (a few hours of prep for the grades 5 and 8 science tests) or none at all as principals deliberately decide to focus on AYP score improvement in ELA and Math because there are few consequences for low API scores in science. This sort of thing happens very, very frequently because administrators are desperate to move those scores up. So the unintended consequence of the NCLB is an inferior education for minority children of poverty. Brown's proposal will exacerbate this trend.
Why should a second year of science cost so much? Because of the antiquated UCOP lab requirements, that's why. Let's face the facts here. Science labs are expensive and take lots of instructional time. Yes, in an ideal world, they serve an extremely valuable purpose. Great lab experiences coupled with integration with the rest of the course teach students to think scientifically and help them to understand the nature of science. These are crucial learning goals in today's world.
Yet, the National Research Council has termed the typical high school science lab experience as being "poor." Lab cost lots. There's the special facilities devoted to those labs. There's the increase in insurance costs for schools. There's the cost of acquiring special equipment. There's the cost of consumables. There's the continuing cost of maintaining the facilities and equipment. There's all of the extra, albeit often unpaid, time for science teachers to prepare and clean up after lab sessions.
Some day, only two sorts of science investigations will take place in our high schools. The first will be extended projects involving true investigations into the world in which we live. While you can do only a few each year, they can help students to understand much of science. Secondly, you'll see online science labs for the shorter investigations.
However, animated simulations often promoted as science labs are no such thing. These cartoons help with visualization and will improve typical test scores for many students, but they do not teach the important things you learn in a really good lab experience. Read the definition of a science lab in "America's Lab Report" to see what I mean. True labs use data from the material world, not made up data from algorithms.
Furthermore, a decent science lab requires students to take their own data themselves. Remote labs don't do that. Probeware has a similar problem. The data appear as if by magic. That approach may be fine for sophisticated students, but it won't work for the majority.
Only one online lab approach meets all of the criteria of the National Research Council. It uses real experiments without predetermined or algorithmic data. It requires all students to take their own data. It captures all student activity in an online database for later analysis. It has very low cost.
This solution is prerecorded real experiments with highly interactive, cloud-delivered software that requires students to use their own care and judgment while taking their own individual data point by point. This remarkable technology can handle just about any experiment scientists can do. Variations in data, errors in set up, normal systematic and random error are all possible and likely given a sufficient number of experiments in each lab.
In short, this technology provides virtually all of the benefits of the best hands-on labs along with the few benefits of typical virtual labs and without their drawbacks.
Put the phrase "prerecorded real experiments" into your favorite search engine and see where it takes you. It's time to tell the UCOP to amend their requirements so that our students can learn more while our schools save money.
With all of the emphasis these days on "flipping the classroom," shouldn't you be considering flipping the science lab?
Please contact your local state assembly and senate representatives about this issue.
Reducing investment in education makes no sense during a competitive global economy that demands 21st century skills and knowledge. It is kind of like expecting workers to perform the skills without teaching them or giving them the means to obtain the skills for the jobs. Not supporting science education for all sounds like the poor don't deserve science education, and only kids in richer areas get the luxury of being science literate. Ironically, I have previously thought that the rhetoric of supporting science due to the competitive edge it would equip future generations would lead to increasing the number of years students are required to take science classes. I guess my prediction is wrong.
[…] governor seems to feel like science might be more than our graduating high schoolers need as he proposed to decrease the requirement from 2 years of science to only one. And here, I'm still struggling . . . because it is true that it is challenging to work […]

NGSS Implementation Update: State Implementation Plan, New Assessments, LCAPs, and Curriculum Framework
Posted: Tuesday, November 4th, 2014
by Jessica L. Sawko
There are a lot of moving parts when it comes to implementing new state standards and the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) are no exception. Two weeks ago the California Department of Education (CDE) and State Board of Education (SBE) responded to CSTA's call to provide clarification regarding the standards that are to be included in a district's LCAP when addressing State Priority #2. Today and tomorrow the CFCC will convene again with the writers of the NGSS Curriculum Framework to provide feedback to the writers on draft framework chapters and CSTA will be at the meetings to provide input into process. Later this week the SBE will interview candidates for appointment to the Instructional Quality Commission (IQC) – the body that will pick up the work to finish the NGSS Curriculum Framework after the CFCC completes its work. Finally, next week the SBE will convene its November meeting on November 13 – 14, 2014. On the agenda for this meeting is a recommendation from CDE that the State Board approve the State Implementation Plan for NGSS – a plan which will lay the groundwork for implementation activities at the state and local level as well as for support providers like CSTA and others. Also on the agenda is a report from CDE's assessment division with the results of the stakeholder group meetings that were held in July 2014 to inform the planning of the future statewide assessment system for science. Finally the SBE will appoint new members to the IQC. Learn More…

Focus on Physical Science
Posted: Tuesday, November 4th, 2014
by Laura Henriques
As a former physics/physical science teacher, the California Classroom Science (CCS) issue focusing on physical science is always one of my favorites. I enjoy reading about lessons, labs and teaching ideas that my colleagues share in each month's CCS, but I really enjoy reading physics and physical science lesson ideas as those apply most directly to what I teach. As with past issues of CCS, we have some great articles written by a wide variety of members on a range of topics. Sadly (for me), only a couple of them focus on physical science.
One of the physical science highlights is Padma Haldar's article that has students doing 'mythbuster' activities to help them better understand the Nature of Science. This project requires students to engage in many of the science and engineering practices (they ask questions, plan and carry out investigations, analyze and interpret data, and evaluate and communicate information) and Ms. Haldar seems to be explicit in helping students understand the nature of science throughout the process. Another article in this month's issue is Valerie Joyner's where she shares a primary activity which focuses on the crosscutting concept of patterns. Her lesson links patterns with properties of plastic lids. As is the case with crosscutting concepts, she shares how this activity about patterns could be linked to other patterns in nature and science. Learn More…
Planning Professional Learning Using the NGSS Implementation Pathway Model
Posted: Tuesday, November 4th, 2014
by John Spiegel, Anthony Quan, and Yamileth Shimojyo
The Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) have the ability to transform teaching and learning in the classroom. They will dramatically change how students experience science by shifting the focus from the memorization of facts to greater student engagement in the processes of science. The NGSS emphasize learning in three dimensions: Science and Engineering Practices, Crosscutting Concepts, and Disciplinary Core Ideas. In addition, there are seven Conceptual Shifts, or Innovations, that have strong implications for teaching and learning. These shifts include the interconnected nature of science as practiced in the real world, the integration of science and engineering, the use of performance expectations, a focus on deeper understanding of content as well as application of content, and alignment to the Common Core State Standards. Teachers will ultimately be tasked with implementing the NGSS, but cannot do so without extensive time to plan and engage in professional learning. Learn More…

Does Your Optometry Practice Need a Mobile Site?
Posted by TN00133 on December 26, 2013
If you look at your optometry website analytics, chances are you'll see that the amount of traffic you are getting from mobile users has increased over the last year or two. Between 1 and 4 and 1 in 5 visitors (20-25%) to optometry sites come from mobile devices and this trend will only continue to grow over time. Mobile websites (or mobile-optimized websites) are essentially the same as traditional websites but they are designed for the smaller display and touch-screen interface of a mobile device such as a smartphone or tablet. This means that they often have more simple design, navigation with enhanced usability and speed and often incorporate mobile-specific features such as GPS locator mapping or click-to-call options. Mobile websites are necessary because your standard website will often not function optimally when viewed from a handheld device. Most standard websites are difficult to view properly, slow to load, hard to navigate and don't necessarily present information most relevant for an on-the-go user. A bad or frustrating experience will quickly result in the user moving on to the next, mobile-friendly optometry website. With more and more users searching for local businesses...

Letter to SMH Editor
(The Letters Editor declined to publish our response)
Dear Editor
Claims in a SMH online article (4 Nov) with respect to private equity are simply not true.
These uninformed generalisations incorrectly perpetuate misperceptions about an industry that, on virtually any time scale examined, outperforms most asset classes (see data on the AVCAL website).
Private equity does not strip to the bones companies as claimed by the reporter, but aims to expand and grow the companies invested in. The fact is that most private equity owned companies grow their staff numbers, operating revenues and profits. The reality is that you can only deliver the substantial returns that PE does, by growing the underlying value of the companies invested in. If the reporter was to actually ask the company founders that PE has invested in and provided capital for expansion and growth, whether all they did was slash and burn, he would get a very different answer to the one he has inferred.
Private equity strives to also build scale and improve efficiencies. Of course, just as in any market or asset class, not every investment is successful. Industry figures released on 4 November show that there were 89 full/partial exits of 73 companies for FY2011, a significant increase on the previous year. These exits in turn delivered significant returns to the PE investors – which are largely superannuation and pension funds in Australia and overseas. Contrary to the article's erroneous slant, private equity investments are growing and returns to investors are solid.

My physical BUGis working. I downloaded the AWTTutorial for BUG and the MY BUGs window shows the app there and the LCD installed.
Now how do I get it to execute on BUG? XWindows is showing on the LCD but the ap oesn't show up on the menu or in icon manager – only xeyes.
Had this problem yesterday with the calculator and it mysteriously appeared after awhile but not so with the tutorial.

More on this. I downloaded SimpleGUI to the BUG and it appeared and worked fine.
Then I tried deleting it and adding AWTTutorial using the My Bugs Window for the delete. The Window showed that this had happened but the SimpleGUI application remained active on the LCD of the BUG and AWTTutorial was nowehere to be seen on the BUG even though My BUGs said it was the only app there.

Hi, Tom.
I just spoke with one of our engineers who informed me that there may be an issue with the hardware (specifically, the BUGbase) that could cause some of these LCD display issues, and we're receiving some new hardware in the next couple of days that we can test to see if it fixes this issue. If you do in fact have a unit that is affected by this issue, we'll make sure to get you a replacement unit ASAP.
As I understand it, we're also working on implementing some changes at the X windowing system configuration and configs in the embedded Linux environment that will help with this.
We should have a better answer for you in a few days.

1 (3 pound)
rotisserie chicken
2 tablespoons
onion, diced
2 ribs
celery, sliced thin
2 tablespoons
all-purpose flour
2 (14.5 ounce) cans
chicken broth
1 teaspoon
1/2 teaspoon
ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon
dried basil
1/4 teaspoon
dried thyme
3/4 pound
new potatoes, cut into 1/2-inch dice
2 cups
frozen mixed vegetables
1 1/2 cups
all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons
baking powder
1/2 teaspoon
3 tablespoons
3/4 cup
milk, or more as needed
2 tablespoons
dried dill
I really liked this recipe, I made minor changes for my personal taste. Used white pepper ( instead of back, to make it a bit spicier ) and added 2 cups of water and 2 more tablespoons of flour to thicken the roux. Very good, I would make it again and the hubby loved it!
This was a really good place to start for me because I used to make chicken and dumplings all the time and wanted to again since the season is changing, however I couldn't exactly remember how I made it and sadly didn't write it down! I followed this recipe somewhat but changed a few things which in my opinion made it so much better :) the rotisserie chicken was a great time saver and delicious! After shredding the chicken I sautéed carrots, celery, and onion in butter and when they were tender I added the flour - however I also added almost another full cup of butter and about 1/2 a cup of flour - I like the stew to be thick and creamy and the amounts of flour in butter in this recipe was not enough.I used organic chicken broth and almost about 32 oz of it -its really inportant to taste and also to make sure the stew is to the consistency youd like. i also omitted the thyme, basil, potato and mixed vegetable and instead just added frozen peas. Another thing - JUST USE BISQUICK!! It makes THE BEST dumplings and so easy - I just add a little pepper to mine. After adding the chicken I dropped 10 dumplings onto the boiling stew, turned the heat down and cooked uncovered for 10 min and covered for 10 min - veggies were perfectly cooked and oh my god everything was soooo delicious! I hope this helps anyone looking for a great seasonal dish ;) so easy and impressive and delicious!

followed it to my distracted attention but it all came together in the end.
fantastic flavour and the dumplings were a hit with sceptcal kids
I have never made this before so I followed this recipe and the comments added by Sarah7a with a couple slight modifications. I did everything Sarah7a recommended except I used this recipe for the dumplings and swapped out the dill for ground rosemary to give it a little different seasoning. I did include potatoes but used little creamers which cooked up beautifully in the stock. I also only used half a cup of butter and a 1/4 cup of flour instead of the amount Sahara7a used and I had a really nice consistency for my stock. I too like a thicker stock so I used 2 - 17.5 oz College Inn Bold Rotisserie chicken stock which gave it a great flavor and a good consistency. I let mine simmer a little too long and it got too thick so I had to open a can of regular chicken stock I had and add a little more to thin it so I could add the dumplings. So I might go a little less than a 1/4 cup on the flour next time.
It turned out fantastic, everyone really enjoyed it! I will definitely be making this one again! Thanks 2nd Course and Sarah7a for your recipe and comments!!
Made this for supper tonight as I had left over chicken. Used fresh veggies rather than frozen and added some garlic but felt it still needed more flavor. I will make this again but will use fresh herbs and my own dumpling recipe. Wonderful comfort food.....
My favorite!!! I love this recipe and I make it as much as I can...Its easy and the taste is GREAT! Thanks so much.
Okay, I loved the outcome of this recipe, I started off with 4 tablespoons of butter with a diced onion and 3 tablespoons of flour to make the roux. Then I added 1 & 1/4 box of swanson chicken broth (the 32 oz.) Then I added all the seasonings but used red pepper instead of black pepper and added the juice from 1 lemon wedge to give it added flavor. I used 4 whole russet potatoes, peeled and cut into medium sized chunks, and almost half a package of baby carrots cut in halves, and then I added half a bag of frozen peas and two chicken breasts cooked and cubed. I probably let it all stew together for about 35-40 minutes.
I skipped on the dumplings and had fresh french bread on the side instead. Mmmm, this was delicious!
At this writing, 25% of the reviews are for the dumplings only, not the stew. This review is for the stew only, not the dumplings as we made a different version. The stew was pretty good but not remarkable. Some fresh red bell pepper, parsley, and more seasonings helped boost a weakly flavored stew making it more tasty than it otherwise would've been. Replace the frozen mixed vegetables with fresh ones and use some fresh herbs to kick this up a notch. One of the highest rated helpful reviews mentions adding about 1 more cup of butter but doesn't mention the extra 1,600 fat calories that would be added to this dish. We made the roux as written, and it was fine for us. Probably will not make this recipe again as we tried another chicken and dumpling stew from this site which was great, and want to try a few others that look inviting. Thanks 2ND COURSE.

An evening at Glastnost Cafe, Phuket Town
We had met Khun Puchong in January at a restaurant, he is the owner of the Glastnost Bar / Cafe in Phuket Town.. he told us of Jazz / music jam sessions every 4th Sunday of the month. We missed the January session, but on February 28th we (a rare occasion!) left our kids with a friend and headed out on the town. The Glastnost Bar is on Soi Romanee in the old part of Phuket Town, it is a small street connecting Thalang Road with Dibuk road. This part of town has recently been renovated - all wires have been either put underground or have been stuck to the side of the buildings so there are no unsightly overhead wires. We saw this already in December at a street festival on Thalang Road.
Last Sunday was actually a very quiet day in town as it coincided with Makha Bucha Day, an important Buddhist holiday, so bars were mostly closed. Nevertheless we drove into the old town, parked on Thalang Road and walked to Soi Romanee. Thalang Road has some great old architecture and a lot of the buildings are well cared for, so we stopped for some photos...
There were just a few people at the Glastnost. The old town was quiet with bars closed due to the religious holiday. Soi Romanee was pretty empty - we were there not long after 8pm, so a bit early really. Puchong greeted us like old friends and insisted I joined him for some wine to celebrate his birthday which had been a couple of days earlier. No music was playing yet, so I had a look around inside. Glastnost is almost like a museum (with drums and a microphone) - lots of old photos and memorabilia around the room. My parents had found this place when they came last time and enjoyed talking with Puchong about jazz - he loves jazz and my parents when they were young boppers were regulars at their local jazz club. Thus you have photos on the wall of Ella Fitzgerald, Miles Davis and of course HM King Bhumibol and his saxophone.
A few people drifted down the street, some backpackers looking for a sign of nightlife, some friends of Puchong, my wife and I sat and chatted with Puchong and his friend Boonlert who owns an electric shop just down the street on Thalang Road. We did not know it was Puchongs birthday so I owe him a bottle of wine next time - he told us there will be a live music evening on the 19th of March with a jazz band from Chiang Mai - see you there!
Puchong is actually a lawyer, quite a big one, with lots of connections in Phuket and Bangkok. The Glastnost is his hobby, not a business exactly - in fact, he told us that he couldn't sell us a drink - but we could get one at a nearby guesthouse on Soi Romanee. It was quiet that night, but should be busier on the 19th. More people turned up as the evening progressed and a little live music started. The guitar man below is well known to us - we met him first in the Beach Bar - see here - this is also where we'd met Puchong in January. It's one of our favourite spots, and I can see that Soi Romanee might become a fave too!
A view of the street shows that we had a little crowd going by 10pm. Puchong invited any passers-by to join. OK, this was a quiet evening, being a Buddhist holiday - the temple at the end of Soi Romanee, Wat Mongkhon Nimit, was much busier!
Anyone walking past was welcome. Plenty of Puchong's friends showed up, and there was a birthday cake too. This is a Thai birthday party - if you happen to be sitting nearby you are given some birthday cake. Anyone who wants to moan about the "Land of Smiles" being just a name.. you better come to the real Thailand. Happy Birthday was played on the saxophone by a German friend of Puchong. Cake was eaten. Life is good.
Phuket Town for me is a very interesting place. What we experienced last Sunday.. you cannot find this near the main beaches of Phuket. The old town has an almost magical feel. We will be back at Soi Romanee on the 19th for a quiet night of jazz.

New Notre Dame bells make harmonious history
The cathedral of Notre Dame - French for "our lady" - has finally got the prima donna worthy of its name.
Associated Press
The cathedral of Notre Dame - French for "our lady" - has finally got the prima donna worthy of its name.
Weighing in at six and a half tons or 6,000 kilograms of glistening bronze, this lady is no ordinary person: she's a bell named Mary.
Mary is in fact the largest - and loudest - of nine new, gargantuan Notre Dame bells being blessed Saturday in the cathedral's nave by Archbishop Andre Armand Vingt-Trois.
"They are beautiful (bells)... We will hear them ringing today during the celebration, and we will hear them during coming years as Notre Dame's chimes," Father Edouard, a priest from outside Paris who had come for the blessing, said.
The nine casts were ordered for the cathedral's 850th birthday - to replace the discordant "ding dang" of the previous four 19th century chimes. After the originals bells - including the original Mary - were destroyed in the French Revolution, the replacements were widely said to be France's most out-of-tune church bells. There's some irony that in Victor Hugo's classic novel "The Hunchback of Notre Dame," the solitary bell-ringer Quasimodo was deaf.
For Catholics, as well as visitors with pitch-perfect ears, it's a historic moment for the cathedral.
"During the French Revolution, they (the original bells) were all brought down and broken except (one) and four other bells that were recast in the middle of the 19th century ... This will complete in a definitive manner the entire set of 10 bells as conceived ... in the Middle Ages," Notre Dame rector Patrick Jacquin said.
Jean-Marie, Maurice, Benoit-Joseph, Steven, Marcel, Dennis, Anne-Genevieve, Gabriel will ring together with Mary to add a harmony to the French gothic landmark, not heard since 1789.
Travelers have come far and wide to catch a glimpse of the bronze giants - on public display until Feb. 25.
"I came from Spain, just for today to see them," 21-year-old Eugenia Santos said. "Notre Dame and the bells are famous thanks to the church and also Victor Hugo ... With more bells, maybe Quasimodo won't be so lonely anymore."
"It's a great event," Sister Dorothee Noel Raharitafitasoa, of Madagascar, said.
Testament to the international pull of Notre Dame - with its 20 million annual visitors - on each bell is written "Via viatores quaerit," latin for "I am the path looking for travelers."
Each dome has a unique and different patterning, some with shiny, matte and etched sections, and each chime to a beautiful different pitch.
The first time revelers will able to hear the new pealing will be on March 23, just in time for Palm Sunday and Easter week.
Mary will soon be hoisted up to the gothic south tower ready to sound out - echoed by other eight in the north tower - over the medieval gargoyles, historic rooftops, and the snaking Seine River.
