Friendly … helpful … responsive … honest … family atmosphere … and a good knowledge of machinery thrown in!
– Geoffrey Swincer,Flexichem Pty Ltd
I have always brought and sold my equipment through with F.A. Maker Australia, they are able to handle all international shipping and export permits which make life easy for me when buying. There are many used machinery dealers throughout the world but I would highly recommend F.A. Maker as there knowledge in machinery is always honest very professional.
– Tony Gurney President,PT ASEAN AEROSPACE
Dougall from FA Maker was in charge of the removing and the sale of our large Evaporator plant which we had in our factory. Both the export and sale process was a very successful outcome by the fact that the revenue generated by the sale exceeded the original estimate; I would have no hesitation in engaging F.A. Maker to undertake any of our future surplus equipment sales.
–Michael Conradt,Brancourts Dairy
Process equipment includes a variety of machines such as food machinery. There are companies that deal in new as well as second hand machinery for sale. There is indeed a huge variety of this machinery Australia has, and this industry has a significant amount of competition. With new machinery entering the market and older machinery being discarded, there is sufficient material available to keep the industry running. When it comes to used machinery equipment for sale¸ manufacturing equipment is the most common. Whether you're looking to buy or sell your equipment always make sure you get the best deal.

It was once a great hotel! I know that its gone through financial downs and this might be the reason it is lackluster now.
My room, towards the back of the property welcomed me with a dirty sock odor that took quite a while to get rid of (or get used to?) and a pile of dirty linens that sat at my doorfront for several hours. The ugly stain on the carpet stared at me during my whole stay. Overly firm mattresses.
We ordered room service and thought it pricey for Mexico ($15 USD for a very regular hamburger). The breakfast buffet is set out in a nice garden area and the service was adequate. Food choices were ample but common.
We had to call four times and wait two hours for pool towels! When we got to the heated pool you could tell that it was in need of maintenance as MANY tiles were missing. The gardens surrounding the rooms and pools are old and very nice.
All in all, I'd probably pick another hotel to stay next time.

As expected, Oksana Grigorieva is launching a PR offensive, insisting she's the victim of domestic abuse and didn't leak the infamous Mel Gibson tapes.
One of her lawyers, Daniel Horowitz, proclaimed on the Today show that his client didn't sell the tapes or leak letters and emails - and is the victim here.
Oksana is going on offense. [Photo: PacificCoastNewsOnline.com]
He also denied that the Mel Gibson tapes were not leaked by Oksana, even though she clearly recorded them clandestinely and they make him look terrible.
We learned earlier from a letter Mel wrote to Oksana that he has wrestled with his terrible anger issues for some time. Male menopause, in his own words.
Among the points Team Oksana made on Today:

Federal Communications Commission: Promoting Efficient Use of Spectrum Through Elimination of Barriers to the Development of Secondary Markets
GAO-05-141R: Jan 10, 2005
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
(202) 512-8156
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
GAO reviewed the Federal Communications Commission's (FCC) new rule on promoting efficient use of spectrum through elimination of barriers to the development of secondary market. GAO found that (1) the rule builds upon the policies adopted in 2003 to facilitate the ability of licensees in our Wireless Radio Services that hold "exclusive" authority to lease some or all of their spectrum usage rights to third parties and to streamline approval procedures for license assignments and transfers of control in these Wireless Radio Services, adopts immediate processing procedures for certain classes of spectrum leasing arrangements and license transfers and assignments that do not raise potential public interest concerns, and extends the spectrum leasing policies to additional services and adopts a new regulatory concept, the "private commons;" and (2) the FCC complied with all applicable requirements in promulgating the rule.

Legends of Legend is looking for some dps for their core raiding group. We have had a ridiculous time with raiding in Mists of Pandaria due to people having random personal issues and we have been in a continuous cycle of looking for more. So.. we are currently only 6/6 MV and 1/6 HoF due to having to find and gear new dps on a monthly basis. lol
We would love for 1-3 good, reliable dps to join us for the long term. We would love to hit the next raid running when it comes out and continue through the expansion kicking asses.
We are a semi casual, semi hardcore guild. We would like to progress more and faster but are having trouble due to the constant person cycle. We work hard to get everyone playing well and working efficiently together and could really use a few more well-oiled gears in our machine.
In any case, raid times are 8-11 pm realm Thurs and Fri with an occasional Saturday if we want to push. Ventrilo and a good attitude are recommended. Pervy minds are also good.
Just contact myself or Adriel if you're interested. We would love to hear from you.

Heirloom Veggies Preserve Heritage
By Patrick Sewell
Ithaca is Gardens, or so it could be argued. A low-impact, inexpensive, hands-in-the-dirt activity, many Ithacans have used gardening to reconnect with the earth and discover the miracle of food. Gardens have even become political symbols, demonstrating resistance to an agricultural system heavily reliant on oil, pesticides and food monopolization. Of course, home gardens were even more prevalent before the arrival of industrial farming and the readily available, inexpensive calorie. At that time, growing crops was a necessity that supplemented people's nutritional and medicinal needs. So important was the garden in fact, that seeds were often saved from generation to generation and handed down along with other prized familial goods. These seeds, formally known as heirlooms, are stores of information, carrying with them the genetic heritage of the environment in which they were formed and the stories of an earlier time and place.
Today, many of those who garden feel a certain draw to replant these heirloom varieties in their own yards. For one thing, heirloom plants often have a story associated with them, usually related to their origin. The Trail of Tears Bean, for example, is a pole bean that was carried by the Cherokees on their forced march westward, when displaced by white settlers in the 1800s. The Cherokee Purple tomato, presented to the gardening world by a Mr. Green from Tennessee, is one of the very first known black tomato cultivars, which was said to be given by the Cherokee Indians to his neighbor "100 years ago."
Local Farms Keep GreenStars Cornucopia FullBy Kristie Snyder,
GreenLeaf Editor
We Ithacans are blessed with a bounty of local produce that surely rivals any other place in the world. GreenStar's member-owners know that the Produce Department boasts a cornucopia of locally-grown fruits and veggies, year-round. GreenStar has worked with local farmers since the Co-op began selling produce, and as the Co-op has grown, so have the number of farms in the fertile valleys surrounding Ithaca. The planning required to bring the bounty of those farms to the shelves of GreenStar begins before any seeds have been put in the ground.
Around two dozen local farms supply GreenStar each year. During January, Debbie Lazinsky, GreenStar's Produce Manager, meets with all of the farmers who supplied GreenStar the previous year, to write out purchase agreements and iron out who's growing what. Some crops are supplied by one farmer exclusively, others are divided between more than one source. These meetings allow Lazinsky and the farmers to review the prior year's season, discuss successes and failures, talk about trends in the field (pun intended!), set prices and figure out how to fill in gaps and deal with surpluses.
Plant a Pawpaw For a Local, Tropical Treat
By Patrick Sewell
With rising gas prices, global warming and the recent movement towards green living, the idea of eating local has been getting a lot of attention recently. After all, the benefits to eating closer to home are pretty impressive: shrink your carbon footprint, support the local economy, eat more nutritious and healthy whole foods, and possibly even save a couple of bucks in the process. Now you can add one more reason to the list for eating local, and it's one you can grow in your yard—pawpaws.
You may have already heard of pawpaws (Asimina triloba), a small, tropical looking tree with large, drooping leaves and large, three-lobed flowers that look like inverted trilliums. A native butterfly attractor (pawpaws are the sole source of food for the Zebra Swallowtail butterfly larvae), pawpaws are often grown ornamentally for conservation and aesthetic purposes. But it is the fruit of the tree that attracts many pawpaw enthusiasts. Having the look and feel of an oblong mango with large, bean-like seeds, pawpaw fruit can grow up to six inches long and weigh as much as two and a half pounds, earning them the honor of being the largest native fruit in the continental United States. This fact alone may entice a gardener to add a few pawpaw trees to their landscape, yet what is most interesting about the fruit is its unique flavor.

|Lots to Be Thankful For
Andrew Hernandez,
The local bounty continues, brought to you by the sweat and toil of farmers -— surely something to be thankful for.
November ... the local bounty is bestowed upon us, plowed under the sweat-browed gaze of toiling farmers, as crouched workers pick and pull on bent knees with earth-covered hands. We stay warm within the confines of our offices and coffee shops, but those of the fields toil hard and tough to provide us with sustenance. Should we not be thankful for this? Not everyone is so lucky as to taste of these local wonders and vegetable splendor: Cider, Honeycrisp, Mutsu, and Golden Russet apples picked atop the ladders of Black Diamond, Indian Creek, and Littletree Orchards; honeynut, butternut, and kabocha squashes, parsnips, rutabagas, and radishes, kale, collards, cabbage, and other hearty greens, all picked or dug from the fields of Blue Heron, Stick and Stone, Remembrance, and Good Life Farms. Give thanks, not for memories of Pilgrims and violence, but for the lush local variety of sustainable agriculture that we are so lucky to enjoy.

Solar-powered oven makes fresh water
Sometimes the simplest ideas are the best. Concerned about the lack of fresh water in the developing world, designer Gabriele Diamanti wanted a solution to desalinate water that was available to households rather than relying on giant centralized plants. He also wanted it to be something inexpensive that could be made by local craftsman. The result is a ceramic solar still called the Eliodomestico that operates like an "upside-down coffee percolator". Read More

For some projects however, the flexibility of the Arduino can be overkill and it's this issue which prompted Digispark to create a simpler, cheaper alternative - a tiny Arduino-compatible developmental circuit board that costs as little as US$12.

BurritoBot: 3D printing meets fast food
A 3D printer that pops out steaming hot burritos before your very eyes? That sounds like the plot of the next stoner movie turned cult hit. In this case, though, it's actually the thesis project of an NYU masters student. And it's fast becoming a reality. Read More
Underwater remote-operated vehicles, or ROVs, are almost impossibly fascinating. They're controlled by a surface-based operator, who watches their real-time video feed and pilots them via a long umbilical cable. Although the big-league multi-million-dollar ROVs are used for things such as exploring the wreck of the Titanic or studying hydrothermal vents, hobbyists have quite a bit of fun using their own home-built versions just to see what's under the surface of the local lake. Unfortunately, even to build one yourself, you need to be pretty technically skilled. That could change, however, as the OpenROV project is developing "easy to assemble" kits – it may even provide li'l ROVs that are ready to go, right out of the box. Read More
Universal TriggerTrap camera trigger enters pre-production phase
After attracting more than three times its funding target on the Kickstarter crowd-sourcing portal, the TriggerTrap universal camera trigger is now speeding towards production. The battery-operated, pocket-sized device has five built-in trigger modes - including firing the flash or shutter release in response to light or sound input - and is compatible with a growing list of camera models. It has a touch-sensitive user interface and an LCD display to help take the guesswork out of choosing settings, and can control hundreds of different cameras via wired or IR trigger systems. It has also been built to allow (if not actively encourage) hacking. Read More
DIY gadgets' makers have a new solution for quick and easy building of custom devices in the form of the .NET Gadgeteer platform. Utilizing .NET Micro Framework and C# programming language, .NET Gadgeteer is an open-source toolkit combined of a basic ARM CPU-equipped mainboard and a choice of easily attachable modules, including displays, buttons, camera, Ethernet, USB ports, or WiFi. The idea resembles the Arduino platform or EZ-Builder kit for DIY robotics projects like DJ Sures' WALL-E. Read More
Seabird community-driven "Open Web Concept Phone"
As laptop computers continue to shrink in size and mobile phones become more and more powerful, can it be that long before the two merge into a device with the portability of a mobile phone and the functionality of a laptop? While it is just a matter of time before the power of a fully-fledged PC can be crammed inside a device the size of a mobile phone, our fingers aren't getting any smaller so overcoming the problems of interacting with such a small device will require some creative thinking. Creative thinking like that of designer Billy May who has come up with a mobile phone concept called the "Seabird" that is designed to address some of the frustrations people face when using such physically small devices.

How do we get a good picture of what trees are where, how they are affecting or contributing to the environment, and what problems they might be susceptible to in today's changing world? The main problem with recording this vital information is (to borrow a line) "tree people like planting trees, they don't like entering data." So why not throw the task open to the local community? The Urban Forest Map is a one-stop repository using information contributed from any willing group or individual and aims to engage community participation to build a complete, dynamic picture of the urban forest.

Back in February, we brought you the story of Willow Garage Robotics' PR2 Beta Program. California-based Willow Garage is giving PR2 robots to ten deserving robotics development groups, to program and customize as they wish. In exchange, those groups will enter all of their research data into an open-source software platform, so other robotics designers can learn from their successes and failures. Now, we've received word that a similar project is in the works in Europe. Led by the Eindhoven University of Technology, six research institutes are developing a collective worldwide online memory for robots, wherein robots can learn from each other's capabilities, thus streamlining the process of adopting new operations.

Wichita Machinists at Textron Aviation Vote to Accept Joint Contract
Wichita, Kansas, October 17, 2014 – Members of the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (IAM) District 70 at Textron Aviation have voted 73 to 27 percent to unify under a single six-year collective bargaining agreement that commits to growing aerospace jobs in Wichita, preserves member seniority and increases pay.

"I'd like to especially thank our IAM negotiating committee for their hard work combining these two contracts. We look forward to a prosperous future for aerospace in Wichita."
The new agreement, which runs into 2020, includes a 9.5 percent pay raise through wage increases and lump sum payments, annual cost-of-living adjustments and performance bonuses, and a bump in earned time off.
For more information on the new agreement, visit www.d70iam.org.

United Way of the Plains expanding free book program for preschoolers in all of Sedgwick County
Any child under five years old in Sedgwick County is now eligible for a free age-appropriate book once a month. United Way of the Plains has expanded a program to all of Sedgwick County that it previously offered in a few areas of Wichita. Since 2011, United Way has been locally funding the program called Dolly Parton's Imagination Library and has distributed over 52,000 books to children.
"We want every child to experience the joy of books even if their families cannot afford them," said Patrick J. Hanrahan, president of United Way of the Plains. "We know if children get exposed to reading early, they will learn more quickly and every aspect of their lives will benefit."
In addition to Sedgwick County, United Way provides books in Sumner County, Andover and Augusta. Parents can register these ways:
- sign up online at United Way Imagination Library
- call 2-1-1 (United Way's 24-hour information line)
Dolly Parton's Imagination Library is a national program started by Dolly Parton to inspire children to learn to read. The experiences of thousands of families, as well as research in child development, affirm the benefits of early learning experiences for children. Research shows that activities such as reading regularly with children, beginning in infancy, can produce a significant growth in I.Q., which lasts a child's lifetime.
Anyone interested in helping fund the program can send a donation to: United Way of the Plains, 245 N. Water, Wichita, KS 67202. If by check, make it out to "United Way of the Plains" with "Imagination Library" in the memo line.

Effort to Prohibit Discrimination by Federal Contractors Gains National Attention
February 8, 2012 by Robin Maril, Senior Legislative Counsel
In the last couple of days, an important proposal to protect LGBT workers has been featured in a Washington Post editorial as well as a New York Times op-ed from the Williams Institute. Both pieces urge President Obama to issue an executive order that requires federal contractors not discriminate based on sexual orientation and gender identity in employment.
HRC called for such an order in our Blueprint for Positive Change, a series of recommendations to the Obama administration on policy and regulatory changes that would benefit the LGBT community. According to Labor Department statistics, nearly 22 percent of the American work force is employed by a company that does business with the federal government.

BRB UK 120: You're Fired
Tim's gone a bit showbiz this week after his appearance on The Apprentice. Thankfully for the British public's sanity, he had 15 seconds of fame rather than the requisite 15 minutes.
Tim's gone a bit showbiz this week after his appearance on The Apprentice. Thankfully for the British public's sanity, he had 15 seconds of fame rather than the requisite 15 minutes.
It's that time of the week to pull up a wing-backed armchair and listen to the witterings of Dan, Tim and Coleman as they navigate the week's news on the good ship BRB UK.
On this week's episode, Pacman, Kev and Dave blabber on about Destiny, Legend of Kora and Playstation TV.
Last night's episode six of BBC's The Apprentice saw the two teams compete to create and sell a board game. Tabletop Tuesday was invited as a group to give some feedback on one of these games.
It's all change at BRB UK towers as we welcome a new host - BRB stalker extraordinaire Coleman. So join Dan, Tim and Chris as they wade into the week's news.
This week Tim is joined by Chris "Fake Dan" Coleman and also joined by, friend of the show, returning extra special guest, Oli "I just made Alien Isolation" Smith.
You could win one of two Mass Effect Alliance Normandy SR-2 Replica Ships! All you have to do to win one of these great prizes is answer our simple question.
Vocal opposition to Mass Effect 3's ending is making the gaming community look like a laughing stock to people who have more important things to worry about than the conclusion of Shepard's three-game story.
The Sony Press Conference will start at 5.30pm Pacific / 8.30pm Eastern / 1.30am UK (+1 day) on Monday June 10th – and we'll be liveblogging every moment of it right here at BRB.
The competition has now closed - thanks to everyone who entered. Winners will have their codes sent to them via a forum private message.
Have you just picked up a shiny new PS Vita? Is your wallet hurting? Still in need of a copy of Uncharted: Golden Abyss? Never fear, because we're giving one away!
Winning stuff is awesome. Winning awesome stuff is, presumably, awesomer. Winning a Calibur 11 Mass Effect 3 Vault is awesomer still. Awesomerer, if you will.

Where Would You Rather Go for a Product Demo: A Corporate Demo Center or a Customer Site?
Oct 22, 2013
If you were looking to purchase a production digital printing device, a platesetter, or workflow software, where would you rather see it? I think it's clear that if possible you'd like to see it in action at a customer site. At a customer site, you could see an actual implementation and ask real-world users all the questions you want about the product: Does it do all they say it can? What problems have you had? Is it upgradeable? Can it handle the types of jobs that I want to run on it? What are the service and consumable costs associated with this product? Of course this type of dialog is ideal, but how many sites would be willing to put up with this on a regular basis? Recently, I got a chance to see how this might work at an innovative print service provider called ImageMark Business Services in Gastonia, North Carolina (just outside Charlotte), which is embarking upon a partnership with Kodak.
ImageMark owns a wide variety of Kodak production digital print products, including a NexPress 3000, a NexPress 3900, and a Digimaster E125. ImageMark also has a Magnum 400 platesetter and uses Kodak's Prinergy workflow and Sonora plates for offset printing on its six-color Komori Lithrone 28. With such a selection of products, it is not surprising that Kodak sales reps in the Southeast wanted to use the site as a reference account, and in fact, had done so informally for many years. Last week, Kodak formalized the relationship with a ribbon-cutting ceremony at ImageMark. Kodak said that ImageMark would serve as a customer demonstration center for prospects that might prefer to visit its new 130,000 square foot production facility instead of traveling to Kodak's corporate demonstration center* in Rochester, New York.
*Kodak's Manitou Road, Rochester demonstration center, which was built as part of the Kodak-Heidelberg NexPress joint venture and served primarily as a venue for Digimaster, NexPress, and Prinergy, has been closed. A new Rochester demonstration center has been created for these products at the Kodak Research Labs complex on Lake Avenue. Kodak's demonstration center in Dayton serves prospects interested in Prosper printing and imprinting systems.
You might ask: "What's in it for ImageMark?†In short, while it's true that they will benefit from this close relationship with Kodak, there are other reasons for partnering. For example, Kodak prospects who are new to digital print may be looking for an outsourced partner while they consider such a purchase. ImageMark could fill that need. In addition, and perhaps most importantly, ImageMark's partnership with Kodak speaks to the company's value-based business philosophy as well as its focus on the capabilities that digital print provides. ImageMark Business Services was founded in 1924 and was purchased by the current ownership in 1996. Since then it has grown from three employees to a total of sixty-five (fifty-five full-time and ten part-time). In July the company moved into a new building, at which point it added a NexPress 3900 to the NexPress 3000 it already owned (ImageMark bought its first NexPress, a 2100, ten years ago). ImageMark notes that at least 60% of its volume is digital with a significant component being personalized color.
In addition to the Kodak digital print equipment at ImageMark the company also has wide format equipment from Roland, monochrome Ricoh Aficio printers, an HP Indigo 7600, and a Xanté Ilumina. ImageMark has a large web-to- print presence, handling more than 50% of its work that way. ImageMark also does a lot of kitting and fulfillment work, much of which has a variable component.
ImageMark customers come from vertical markets like healthcare, non-profits, colleges & universities, and automotive. Attendees at the ribbon cutting included two ImageMark customers with fascinating projects; the executive producer of the movie "Letters to God†and the co-author of the book "Hope's Wish: How One Girl's Dream Made Others' Come True.â€Â After visiting ImageMark my assessment is that this is a dynamic company with a solutions focus and a can-do attitude that is rare among companies of any type. ImageMark is an ideal partner for this Kodak initiative.
There are certainly prospects that will prefer a visit to ImageMark (particularly in the winter) to a trip to Rochester. Kodak, which has said that ImageMark is the only such site currently in the United States, also noted that it may be looking to open a similar center with another customer on the west coast. This would be a good idea. An on-site center allows customers to see a true production site in action and ask operational questions about service, substrate, and costs. A corporate demonstration center is a necessity for ongoing visits and production of test samples. Having a customer demonstration center in addition to corporate demo centers provides the best of both worlds. And when the customer demonstration center is of the caliber of a company like ImageMark, that's even better.

Dr. John Locked Down(Nonesuch)Where many of Dr. John's contemporaries are still cruising on autopilot — or no longer cruising at all — the 71-year-old night tripper proves with Locked Down that age, ego, fame and Baron Samedi did not do him in. His most recent opus on Nonesuch confirmed that the spirits who channelled the aural delights and heavy shakers he signed during the late '60s are still as manic as they were 40 years ago. Production-wise, Locked Down is the work of avid music fans first and foremost. Similar to what the folks at Daptone have accomplished for the likes of Sharon Jones and Charles Bradley, Dan Auerbach has applied his flair for soulful musicians (Max Weissenfeldt, Leon Michels, Nick Movshon, Brian Olive and the McCrary Sisters) and his love of juke joint boogie to these ten timeless songs by the voodoo priest of hoodoo blues. But how much of Dan Auerbach is on that record? How much of Dr. John is in Dan Auerbach? How much of Professor Longhair is in Dr. John and how much of New Orleans, Nigeria, and the entire history of the shamanic use of music is there on the album? Not finding a definitive answer is perhaps central to appreciating this exercise in cross-pollination that is sure to tickle pink even the most aching purists of the genre. Ralph Elawani8. A Tribe Called Red(Masalacism)A Tribe Called Red had a phenomenal year. Having released one single prior to this year, albeit with an authoritative and frequently refreshed Soundcloud library of further tracks and remixes, 2012 saw them achieve a status unique in Canadian music and also in the world at large. "Popular" doesn't even begin to describe their global significance; they are connecting with a potentially gigantic audience who appreciate the international aboriginal perspective the group upholds. They are an audio-visual, cultural phenomenon. In releasing a conventional full-length album, minus the visuals and their Red Bull-approved mixing wizardry, they invited people to judge them solely on their intense pow wow step and moombahton constructions. (That's right, moombahton — remember six months ago? Good times.) The fleeting nature of cool might have sunk an album of mashups and flavour-of-the-moment rhythms. But there's so much more to their method, their meaning and the global implications of their musical philosophy, which keeps revealing the substance behind their constructions even months after release. These aren't just disembodied samples over hype beats. ATCR's album is an expertly paced one that starts strong and builds to a barely controlled frenzy before dialling back ever so slightly. This is world music from a Canadian Aboriginal perspective, where familiar sounding pieces are put together in a way that makes them sound less, not more, homogenous. The sky's the limit for these guys. David Dacks« Page 2 | Page 4 » GET IT!

It's really not that impressive. Miguel, also nothing much to speak of. But, yeah, after the first two, the rest of the list is great.

I get the hype fatigue, but on a musical level, it's a very accomplished piece of composition and performance. I really don't care for that Miguel record though...Start ConversationDecember 13, 2012StephenCarlick16261Same, HankPond. I already addressed the Ocean overkill -- but aside from the hype, what's your aversion to the music?Start ConversationDecember 13, 2012HankPond16268I don't think it's bad by any stretch. It's even good occasionally, "Pyramids" in particular. I just didn't find it to be all that revolutionary or cathartic, let alone consider it to be the greatest album of all-time, which its amount of #1 EOTY list placements would suggest. The album seems to be more of a success of marketing than actual music, which makes me sad for all the other artists being left off lists like this because they chose to keep their heads down and make good music rather than hone their social media skills. From where I'm sitting, Frank Ocean isn't that much different from Al Walser, though Ocean's music is clearly better.Start ConversationJanuary 03, 2013@StellasKid16540Fan of both the Ocean and Miguel albums and have no issue with either's placement at the top of this list but wish the Slakadeliqs album had been ranked higher. Was deeply disappointed and bored by Santigold's album though and question its worthiness to even be charted. Also thought Glasper's album was a tad overrated but it had its moments. Wasn't even aware that Neneh Cherry had put an album out last year but after checking out that meandering avant garde-jazz nonsense, can't say I was that impressed tbh.Start ConversationLoginUser Name:Password:Keep me logged inForgot Password? • Create ProfileProve You Are Not a Robot:Name:To remove this step go back and login.More NewsDamon & Naomi to Release 'Fortune' Film ScoreBurning Hell's Mathias Kom Toasted with Tribute Album Featuring Dan Mangan, John K.

Here's Johnny: Recapping Texas A&M QB Manziel's wild off-season
New York, New York -- Right after winning the Heisman, Manziel stopped by The Late Show with David Letterman to read off the famous "Top Ten List." His top, not surprisingly, was the top 10 perks of winning the Heisman Trophy. Our favorite line: "I'll probably be the only Heisman winner at my high school reunion."

It's Sunday night so I will keep this post as short and sweet as possible so you can get on with your evening. On Friday we had a work Thanksgiving party and I simply asked for stuffing and was corrected by someone saying "you mean dressing" it has sparked the below YouTube video and this blog post so I'm just wondering what you call it and do you get offended if someone calls it the opposite of what you do? I don't care what anyone calls it as long as I get my share and can put gravy on it. I'm easy to please that way.
I'm going to keep things short and simple this week because I know that most people will be busy with friends and family. My husband will be celebrating his birthday on Thursday so my attention will be on him and his day. Let me know what plans you have and if you are planning on running a turkey trot. I will be at the gym in the morning but no race for me this year.

Dear Hillary,
There is a shopping center very close to my office. There is a very pretty young girl in one of them and she always gives me a big smile. Lately she has been giving me a shy little wave as well. I would like to know a bit more about her, but how do I do it, Hillary?
Dear Ron,
Does RON stand for Run Over Now, or what? Ron, you are not going to be able to find out anything about your boutique girl from outside sources. There is no Hot Line for this kind of problem. The girl is doing one of two things - either she is interested in you, OR she wants to get you over to sell you some of her merchandise. How do you find out? It is easy, my Petal. Next time she waves, walk over to her little stand and say, "Hi, How long have you been in this shopping center?" or something equally as easy as an ice-breaker. You will soon see if she is interested in you, or what you've got in your pants - not that! Your wallet!
Dear Hillary,
Not being a cheap Charlie I pay for distance covered (on the baht bus). 10 B should get you from Pattaya Thai to Tops super market, and you can stretch it out to Big C hand the driver B. 10 and walk away, but if you are that stingy you deserve to be ignored next time you wave a cab down. I have never had trouble when handing a B. 20 note over for a reasonable short trip and said "Kor Hi Sip Baht Khup."
Dear Sean,
Thank you for replying to my query as to how far you can go in a baht bus for B. 10. I think you are correct, and with the price of everything going up these days, the baht bus driver is also looking at an increased weekly spend in the markets for groceries, so be fair, is my answer.
Dear Hillary,
I am thinking of having an affair with one of the girls at work. She is obviously up for it and gives me all the right signals, but is discreet enough, so that nobody has guessed that we have sneaked away for some fun and excitement. Only problem is that I have a live-in Thai GF and even though she seems OK with me going out on my own which I do a couple of times a week, I don't know just how she would take it if she found I was with another woman. Your understanding of this type of thing is much better than mine - I don't even understand western women, let alone Thai ones!
Living on the edge
Dear Living on the edge,
Have you ever heard the phrase 'Cut it off and feed it to the ducks'? It happens frequently, Petal, and I'll leave you to guess just what "it" is. You can always get the duck to cough it up, or make it into a duck stew, but Thai women have even more inventive methods of disposing of the "it" which has been visiting where "it" shouldn't. The vegetable food processor makes it all pretty final. So if you want to run the risk of having to sit down to wee wee, just keep going. Lots of luck in finding "it".
Dear Hillary,
I think I am being ripped off. My Thai wife has recently started to ask me for more money than she normally gets for housekeeping and the monthly wage I give her. It was just a few hundred baht here and there to start with, but now she needs thousands at a time. When I ask her why she needs the extra she gets sulky and when I really push her for an answer the best I get is "for family - you farang no understand." Hillary, is there something here that I should understand, or what? I am getting very tired of the continual cash hand-outs.
Dear ATM Matt,
It sounds like there is lots you don't understand. "Family" is important to a Thai and is one of the strongest bonds for the individuals in that family. Family keeps them together, family gets them over problems of all types, financial and otherwise. Your girlfriend may be returning money borrowed from before, or may also be helping her brother/mother/father/cousin (delete that which is not applicable) out of a jam. And on the other hand, she may be gambling with it, another very common Thai pastime. You really have to start communicating better with your girlfriend, Petal, if you want to know where the money goes. If she is the money manager for the household, sit down each week and discuss the family budget. If you do this in a non-threatening way, then you will find out where the money goes. If it ends up in sulkiness or accusations, then it is time to review the entire relationship and handle the housekeeping yourself. I also note you are paying her a "wage". What is that for, Marc? Is she a wife or a "mia chow" (rented wife)? To me, your relationship seems to be based only on money, which is never a long-term basis. Time to review everything, my Petal.
Dear Hillary,
I read all these tales of woe that your letter writers send to you about losing money and getting ripped off. Is it really that bad in Thailand? Surely there are some good ones, or are they all on the make? Do you know how many marriages to bar girls fail? Can't be 'all' of them, can it? I've met so many great girls on my holidays each year and I can't believe that they would be anything other than great wives for some lucky guys. What is the real situation?
Scottish John
Dear Scottish John,
Even in your highlands 'mixed' marriages fail, and that's just marriages between men and women. Now look at the marriages you want to examine - the love sick visitor and the hardened professional girl behind the bar. One has been convinced that this is the marriage made in heaven. Besotted Billy just wants the ring on her finger, while business girl Bee can't wait to investigate a joint bank account. She is in the banking business, Gary. This marriage lasts as long as the bank accounts.
Dear Hillary,
I just read an article in the dining out column where Don, Aka Nod, said for B. 450 they should dish up the whole sheep. This is more of a Legal or Moral question than a relationship one.
Many years ago I worked as a mechanic in outback Australia. My boss also ran a property with 20000+ sheep. He would sell me 1 sheep for $3.00 on the condition that I drove out there, selected a beast, killed and dressed it myself.
Being of good Irish Stock whose ancestors had been shipped to Australia on trumped up charges of stealing, I would round up two mates and drive out there and select a beast each.
We now had three sheep for an outlay of $3.00. I also had three hides that would fetch $4.00. By now I was showing a profit of one dollar and had enough lamb to feed me well till next time.
I know my boss was claiming losses on his taxes. So using the logic of the local priest (Irish) I was helping him out and the good lord would have no trouble with me if a leg of mutton were to show up at the manse back door.
I don't know the statute of limitations on duffing but I fear I may be sent down rather than up when my time comes.
Please Hillary help me out. (Psst if you are heading down under I can let you have a nice sheepskin vest at a good price.)
Dear Bryan,
You have me totally confused, but thank you for your email and the offer of a woolly vest, just what I need in our tropical paradise! I also don't quite understand what you want me to help you out with? Alter your course of destination from the fires of Hell to the balmy pursuit of the Heaven in the clouds which has herds of sheep for the taking and lamb chops for dinner? I am also a trifle worried with your information that your boss insisted you dress the sheep yourself. I didn't know that Australian sheep wear dresses, but it probably goes a long way towards my understanding of some of the culture from Down-Under.
Hi Hillary,
First, I appreciate your column. Always get some insight and enjoyment. Kinda have to disagree with an house, an horse... I always say a house/ a horse/ a home... if I am wrong ... no problem... It won't be the first time or last... keep writing... Thanx,
Dear Joe,
It all gets down in the end to what is called "common usage", like the "got" or "gotten" idea, Petal. Personally I don't worry about these things, as long as nobody is trying to drag me off to an hotel, or even a hotel, unless there is some Veuve Clicquot and Belgian chocolates in the dining salon!
Dear Hillary,
I agree with you that 'an' should come before a noun beginning with any of the vowels. In English, where a word begins with the letter "H", this consonant must always be pronounced, although English people never do. So it is not an 'orse, an 'otel, an 'ouse. It is a horse, a hotel, a house. The only European language to drop the "H" is French.
As to Robert's comments on British accents, having worked on drilling rigs around the world for 25 years and known Americans from "Loozana Coonass", Louisiana Cajun up through all of the Redneck states to the big city of "Noo Yoik", New York, I have liked and understood them and they me.
The British Empire was guilty of many massacres, and for this I am ashamed, but the British people never took part in state sponsored genocide as did the Americans against their own native tribes.
I am an articulate, multilingual Scotsman looking forward to independence from the remnants of the Empire.
Dear Don,
What have I started? What have I done, Don? How do I gotten off this runaway 'orse? We've even got 'ercule Poirot waiting in the wings as well. I have heard the statement that Britain and the USA are "separated by a common language" even if just in the pronunciation of tomato or tomayto, and we'll not get (gotten) into the argument over elevators and lifts.
Anyway, let's get into something easy like jilted boyfriends and walking ATMs. I'm better equipped for those!
Dear Hillary,
Can you recommend a good computer technician? Every time my computer breaks down, the technician takes it away to fix it, and returns it several days later and when I go to use it, something else has packed up. "You haven't got enough RAM," seems to be the catchword with these people, but even after buying more, the problems are still there. Any ideas, Hillary?
Dear Frazzled,
You're lucky it's only a RAM problem. I've bought a veritable sheep station of RAMs and now they're telling me it is my operating system that is no good. I ask you, what's wrong with Windows 1946? It worked before, why not now? Honestly Petal, I have no idea about this modern technology. Bring back faxes, I say. I could understand those.
Dear Hillary,
When I complained about being broke, you said I should give up drinking. If I stopped drinking, the Singha company would go broke as well as 7-11.
Singha Jerry
Dear Singha Jerry,
Thanks for the advance knowledge, Petal. Seven-11 and Singha Beer are the basis of the entire Thai financial system. Thank you for keeping the country afloat. I will ask our new PM to give you an award, after he has kicked out all the grafters. Don't wait up!
