PAT awaits nod for land development plan
THE NATION Published on May 30, 2011
Port Authority of Thailand (PAT) is ready to invest on the commercial development of a 223 rai land plot in the Bangkok port once it is approved by the new government.
PAT director Chalermchai Meekhun-eiam said PAT had already submitted the land development plan to the Transport Ministry and was awaiting approval from the Cabinet. However, PAT will have to wait until a new government is elected and the plan okayed by the Cabinet. He said thea land development would be financed by PAT's own cash, not from government budget or loans.
As part of the development plan, PAT will set up a merchant marine training centre on 17 rai, a logistics centre on 54 rai, a shopping mall on 137 rai, and an office building on 15 rai.
Meanwhile, he said that PAT is expected to start looking for a contractor early next year to build its phase 3 of Laem Chabang port. The first port in phase 3 is expected to be in operation in 2019.
PAT has hired Team Consulting Engineering and Management firm to study the engineering, economic and environmental aspects of the project. Once phase 3 is completed, the port will be able to cater to a maximum of 18 million TEU (twenty-foot equivalent) containers per year, up from the present 10.8 million TEU per year.

Maersk Thailand hit by US, EU slump
Published: 17/06/2011 at 12:00 AM
The Thai unit of Denmark's Maersk Line, the world's largest container shipper, has downgraded its business performance outlook this year, citing impacts from the Japanese disaster and lingering economic uncertainties in the US and Europe.
The updated outlook for 2011 is based on the performance seen in the first four months after the company reported a big turnaround last year, said Thomas Lindy Sorensen, the managing director of Maersk Line (Thailand).
"The performance was very good in the first quarter, but now the supply and demand [for containers] are not in the same situation because of what's happening in North America and Europe," he said.
While the market outlook does not seem healthy, new ships continue to arrive in the market each year, he said.
Japan's devastating March 11 earthquake and tsunami and subsequent nuclear crisis affected imports of components into Thailand for final assembly and re-export. Automobile manufacturers in Thailand sharply cut back their production in April and May due to parts shortages.
Automotive products are among four key sectors handled by Maersk in Thailand along with electronics, commodities and petrochemicals, he said.
While Maersk (Thailand) posted 10% growth in shipment volume in line with the overall industry, the company now projects a 7% rise in exports and 10% increase in imports this year, said Mr Sorensen.
In 2010, the shipping line handled 270,000 20-foot equivalent units (TEUs) of outbound shipments and 100,000 TEUs of inbound shipments.
"In terms of volume it will certainly grow, but revenue may be the same as last year," said Mr Sorensen.
Globally, Maersk Line expects its financial results will be lower than last year's. The Danish group forecasts global demand for seaborne containers to grow by 6-8% this year, as freight rates remain under pressure in the short term but with a stronger market in the second half.
Early this year, the company signed a contract with South Korea's Daewoo Shipbuilding unit to build 10 of the world's largest new ships with an option for another 20 for delivery from 2013-15.
Mr Sorensen also called on the new government to expand the rail and road networks approaching Laem Chabang deep-sea port and add locomotives to improve the efficiency of the Lat Krabang inland container depot.

Shippers up 2011 growth forecast for exports to 20%
THE NATION Published on August 31, 2011
The Thai National Shippers Council has increased its export-growth target for the year to 20 per cent, thanks to significant expansion in July and the expectation of higher unit prices for goods over the remaining months.
The council had previously projected overall Thai exports to grow by 18 per cent, while the Department of Export Promotion is sticking to its forecast of 15-per-cent expansion to US$224 billion (Bt6.72 trillion) for the full year.
TNSC vice chairman Vallop Vitanakorn said exports over the remainder of the year were now projected to grow by an average of 15-16 per cent a month. While still good, that would represent slower expansion than in the first seven months due to sluggish growth of trading partners, in particular the United States and the European Union.
"However, shippers are still confident that exports will surge beyond the previous [full year] target to 20 per cent, as the price per unit of goods will be on the rise," he said.
He added that the negative factors that would cause slower export expansion in the next four months were the stagnation of the US and the EU economies, which would not only cause lower export growth to those markets directly, but also have the side effect of slower growth to markets reliant on them.
Vallop said that while exporters had not yet been seriously affected by the stronger baht, as most had booked currency forward, they would gradually suffer impacts if it continued to appreciate.
The TNSC projects the baht's value to average 29.50 against the US dollar in the remaining months of the year.
He said the government should closely monitor the baht's movement and ensure that the currency is not too strong, as that would dampen exports, which are still the Kingdom's major economic engine.
Higher fuel prices and slower demand for products such as luxury goods, garments, furniture and toys will also cause slower growth over the remainder of the year, he said.
In addition, a survey of 25 industries by the TNSC and Chulalongkorn University showed that the export-value index in July was 160.79, up 38.89 per cent year on year, while the export-price index was 176.77, up by 45.77 per cent.
The export-volume index stood at 146.58, up 28.58 per cent, showing that exports rose sharply last month because of higher goods prices, while quantity did not expand as much as value.
The main products with higher export prices were paper, jewellery, petrochemicals, steel and rubber.
Thawatchai Jittrapanun, head of the export-index project at Chulalongkorn's faculty of economics, said the cost of production inputs such as fuel, labour and raw materials was expected to increase gradually.
Moreover, July exports rose sharply because of overseas sales of gold worth $995 million. Excluding gold, overall export shipments expanded by 32 per cent in value.
He said the government should exclude gold from its export calculations, as the fluctuating price of the precious metal and the size of exports distorted the figures.

New loading centre at BKK port
Port Authority of Thailand opens a 10-rai space on the west of its Bangkok Port as a temporary loading centre for members of Thai Transportation and Logistics Association (TTLA), to help boost distribution of goods and ease consumer goods shortages.
The loading centre, opened on Nov 9, will be in service until the water recedes, said Chalermchai Meekun-iam, director-general of the agency.
TTLA members loading centres along the Borom Rajajonani Road were flooded and this disrupts the distribution of goods to other parts of the country.

Shippers doubt 15% growth target
The Nation December 24, 2011 1:00 am
Shipments may not reach the government's 15-per-cent expansion target to US$258 billion (Bt8.9 trillion) next year, as many industries face difficulty recovering after the floods, while exports to Asean will also feel impacts from the European Union debt crisis, the Thai National Shippers' Council (TNSC) said yesterday.
"Although Thailand has shifted its focus more towards Asean and other Asian countries such as China, the impact of the EU economic downturn will be larger than was expected earlier and will cause trouble for Thailand's exports to those countries, as they also rely on export to the EU countries," said TNSC chairman Paiboon Ponsuwanna.
The slowdown of the recoveries in United States and Japan, which are also major export markets for Thailand, China and Asean countries, will also cause global trade to be sluggish in the new year.
The impacts from this year's inundation will also drag down export growth in many industries in the next three to six months, Paiboon said. This would result in a shrinkage in exports in the first and second quarters.
Moreover, the baht's appreciation will also obstruct exports, while higher production costs from rising labour wages will reduce Thailand's competitiveness, he said.
Vallop Vitanakorn, the council's vice chairman, said the baht was expected to be stronger next year against the US dollar. He said that since Thailand has signed a 70-billion-yuan (Bt345-billion) swap agreement with China to strengthen trade and investment between the two nations, more Thai exporters would trade in yuan to reduce transaction costs.
For instance, as more than 35 per cent of garments are imported from China, Vallop said these would be directly traded in yuan, reducing importers' reliance on the greenback in coming years.
A study by the TNSC, Chulalongkorn University and the International Institute for Trade and Development showed that the indices for export value and volume dropped significantly in November because of the floods. The export performance index dropped by 19.1 per cent year on year, compared with a 3.1-per-cent drop in October.
Industries that have faced serious reductions in terms of export value and volume included jewellery, automobiles and parts, printing and paper, medical products, and electrical appliances.
Export of canned fish also dropped significantly last month as many manufacturers suspended operations during flooding.

Change in role of ports
The Nation January 13, 2012 1:00 am
The Transport Ministry plans to turn Laem Chabang Port into a modern port, reducing Bangkok port's role to serving domestic goods deliveries.
Transport Minister ACM Sukampol Suwannathat announced the policy to the Port Authority of Thailand (PAT)'s board and management yesterday.
He instructed the PAT to draw up a long-term strategy to increase the capacity of Laem Chabang Port and phase out the export role of Bangkok Port, which will cater only domestic product delivery.
The port authority will also develop some areas at Bangkok Port commercially to generate revenue.
Bangkok Port occupies 2,260 rai, of which 960 rai are used to provide actual port services. Of the remainder, 403 rai house state agencies, 141 rai are leased to the National Housing Authority, and 226 rai are leased to private firms.
PAT director Chalermchai Khun-iam said the authority plans to develop both the Bangkok and Laem Chabang sites on a "green port" basis, in conjunction with its single-port policy.
Regarding the commercial development of Bangkok Port, PAT's management plans to propose to the board soon a plan to build an office complex on 17 rai to serve marine-business operators.
The project, which is estimated to cost Bt4 billion, will be run on a Build-Operate-Transfer basis. The company that wins the concession will invest in the project and the concession term is 30 years.

PAT set to expand e-gate project
THE NATION February 24, 2012 1:00 am
The Port Authority of Thailand is ready to launch the second phase of the e-gate project at both Bangkok Port and Laem Chabang Port on March 1.
PAT director Chalermchai Meekun-iam said yesterday that the first phase started last October.
The second phase will see the expansion of the service to more gates at both ports.
With the electronic service, vehicles entering the ports can use cash cards to pay the gate fee, instead of cash.
After users register with PAT, they can use the service at both ports. They can hold more than one card and they can share accounts.
The system was introduced to improve operating efficiency at the ports.
Those applying for the cards next month will enjoy a waiver of card issuance fee. But |this privilege will be limited to the first 10,000 users at each port.
PAT has spent Bt200 million on the e-gate system and Bt1 billion on the information-technology infrastructure to support the system, which is part of its e-port policy to upgrade its operations to meet the International Ship and Port Facilities Security Code.

Phuket International Boat Show returns
The Phuket News - Monday, 12th Mar 2012 03:29
PHUKET: The ninth Phuket International Boat Show (Pimex) takes place from March 29 to April 1 at the same venue as last year, the Royal Phuket Marina.
Pimex has the largest in-water boat display in Asia. Over 50 boats from leading brands from around the world will be on display, from "uber-luxe" multi-million-dollar superyachts to power boats, sailing yachts, tenders and dinghies.
"The boat brands you see in Monaco, Cannes, and in Fort Lauderdale, you will find here at Pimex," says Pimex Show Director Andy Dowden.
"The largest boat on display this year is a 92-foot powerboat, and the smallest a little over 20 foot. And there is everything in between – different sizes, specifications, prices, power and sail," he says.
The Ferretti Group, with local dealer Lee Marine, will be showing the 92-foot Pershing – the largest boat at Pimex 2012 – as well as a number of other models.
For the first time this year, the flagship Fairline Squadron 78 Custom – a first in Asia – will be presented by Derani Yachts, and Sunseeker will be showing three luxury flybridge yachts – the Manhattan 73, 63 and 53.
The Princess line-up includes Asia premières for the V52 – a sports yacht – the P60 – a brand new model for Princess – and the 72MY.
There are also many mid-sized powerboats on display, and an increase in the number of sail boats showing this year, including the new Jeanneau 57, the Prestige 440S and the award-winning Tartan 4000 which is showing for the first time in Asia.
And for those looking to dip a toe in the water of boat ownership, the Absolute World Group are offering fractional boat ownership.
Visitors to Pimex last year came from more than 15 countries, with a good number from outside of Asia. Russia was a big market in 2011 and is expected to be a growth market this year.
"This year we have strategically targetted Russian visitors and are expecting an increase in this segment, together with our perennially strong visitor markets of Singapore, Hong Kong and expatriates in the region," says Mr Dowden.
On land, the Exhibition Hall at the marina will be full of the latest gadgets, boating toys, marine and lifestyle products and services, as well as a selection of property available on the island.

Bt32-bn plan to improve Laem Chabang Port infrastructure
The Nation February 9, 2013 1:00 am
The Ministry of Transport plans to spend Bt32 billion to expand its road network to Laem Chabang Port to ease traffic and also increase the port's shipping container capacity.
Deputy Transport Minister Prasert Chantararuangthong said after an operations meeting that the move was part of a plan to improve infrastructure connecting to the port. Also, the plans are aimed at preparing the port for the Asean Economic Community in 2015, in the hope of increasing shipping efficiency.
Under the plan, if it is an urgent project, funds will be used from the 2014 annual budget. If it is a big project, the budget will come from the Loan Act of Bt2 trillion.
Currently, 60,000 container trucks access Laem Chabang Port per day, leading to traffic congestion. As one of Thailand's major ports, the ministry intends to increase its capacity to 11 million twenty-foot-equivalent units of containers, up from the current 7 million TEU. This plan will be achieved by expanding both internal and external shipping networks of the port.
Meanwhile, the Department of Highways also has a plan to expand the road network to support the logistics system in the Eastern region and Laem Chabang Port with a total budget of about Bt29 billion. For example, it will expand the number of lanes on the road leading to the port from four to 14 with a budget of Bt2.5 billion. The Department of Rural Roads has plans for seven projects to construct a road connecting with the port.
At present, the port faces serious traffic problems on Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays. The problem is from the place where the tax document is issued, which is too close to the checking gate. Also, the e-toll system for vehicles has not worked completely.
Currently, road transport to the port makes up 90 per cent of the total, followed by 6 per cent by rail, and 4 per cent by water. The plan is that within 10 years, road transport to the port will represent 75 per cent of the total, followed by 15 per cent by rail and 10 per cent by water.
On average, at major ports worldwide road transport makes up 40 per cent while rail and water are 30 per cent each.

Unithai joins hands with Australian firm
Published: 2 Apr 2013 at 03.04Newspaper section: Business
The Thai shipyard operator Unithai has formed a partnership with Austal, the Australia-based vessel specialist focusing on defence and commercial vessels operating in Asia-Pacific.
Unithai Shipyard and Engineering will share expertise and provide ship repair services for defence and commercial vessels in the region.
The two companies signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) for the cooperation yesterday.
Unithai will be Austal's preferred repair shipyard for US-owned commercial and defence vessels, such as the US Navy's littoral combat ships (LCS) and joint high-speed vessels (JHSV) that require repairs when operating near Thailand.
Austal is currently contracted to build ten 103-metre JHSVs under a US$1.6-billion contract and six 127-metre LCSs, four of which are part of a 10-ship, $3.5-billion contract. Austal has already delivered one LCS and one JHSV.
``We recognise that Unithai Shipyard is one of the largest integrated ship repair facilities in Southeast Asia, with a world-class reputation based on its high standards covering health, safety and the environment, and timely delivery,'' said Charles McGill, Austal's chief operating officer for service and systems.
Unithai Shipyard managing director Teerapon Udomkanjananan said the MoU is a milestone allowing Unithai to step forward and exchange experience and expertise with a defence prime contractor and shipbuilder. It is also vital to promote the shipyard industry in Thailand.

Thai government approves Pak Bara port development
Bangkok: Not for the first time Thai authorities are looking at building a potentially hugely significant port at Pak Bara. The port on the Andaman Sea could cut transit times from Asia to Europe. The idea is to connect the port in Satun province by road and rail to another deepsea port in Songkhla province by the Gulf of Thailand, allowing ships to avoid the longer route via the Strait of Malacca.
Over the years there have been countless similar proposals on this part of southern Thailand.
In 1677, the Siamese King Narai suggested excavating a canal across the Kra isthmus to facilitate trade. Since then many others have pushed for a similar canal. Now, however, Thailand's military junta has given in-principle approval for the Pak Bara port and multimodal links – not a canal – across to the Gulf of Thailand. [08/09/14]

Thailand's junta resurrects plan to build Andaman port
But proposal for cargo to bypass Malacca Strait faces opposition as locals fear losing their livelihood
Published on Sep 06, 2014
It is quiet in Pak Bara. Fishermen returning from the Andaman Sea dock their vessels at its pier in the south-western corner of Thailand. Travellers hop onto boats that cut across turquoise waters towards nearby marine national parks.
All this could change if the kingdom carries out a long-stalled proposal to transform Pak Bara into a deep-sea port that would give shippers a shortcut between Europe and East Asia.
The plan calls for Pak Bara in Satun province to be eventually linked by road and rail to another deep-sea port in Songkhla province by the Gulf of Thailand, allowing international cargo to avoid the circuitous and congested route down the Strait of Malacca.
Proponents point out that Asean's second-largest economy is heavily reliant on Laem Chabang port in the gulf, which is fast reaching its capacity. The country has no equivalent outlet along the Andaman coast, so rubber, a key export in the Thai south, has to be trucked to Malaysia and then shipped out via Penang port.

Elevator is historic and a bit scary.
Hotel Melia is located at the very center of Ponce, within walking distance of interesting museums, nice stores, and eateries of all kinds.. The Pandora lounge offers a nice nocturnal view coupled with excellent service and great food and drinks. Parking at the hotel is convenient and affordable. Staff extremely helpful and knowledgeable.
A few things need refurbishing, but that is to be expected in a 115 year old property.
Great customer service, located on the plaza
Rooms need a lil updating
Overall, the staff was pleasant enough while they were telling you the bad news, ie we can not find your reservation; we are going to give you a substandard room and overcharge you for it; and no you may not have breakfast in the cafe at 10:30 am, 1 minute past the time we switch to the lunch menu, on a Sunday.
The rooms were dingy at best. Unclean and outdated. Despite paying for a premium room, we were given a room that is below the standards of most Super 8's. Please don't assume we are snobbish resort people. We only stay at historic locally run hotels in PR and this one is mediocre at best.
Friendly staff, great location
A/C very noisy, poor wi-fi in room, room very old
Being right by the main square is lovely. The hotel restaurant serves good coffee.
I stayed on a Saturday and bars and nightclubs stay open quite late which makes sleeping without the air condtioning impossible.
Everything just love it!!
The staff was very attentive, comfortable room and a very centralized location.
The only flaw was a very noisy A/C.
Lights went out & they gave us back money for the day we had no lights. Complimentary drinks & more..... I loved it!
Location is key, but because of the town & poor side of ponce, this hotel was able I balance out the lows
Absolutely nothing.
Very nice historic hotel in the center of Ponce. Don't expect luxury, this is the hotel for you if you want to be in a genuinely Puerto Rican hotel, in the historical area of Ponce. There are no comforts missing, wi-fi, cleanliness, bar, a small pool; but don't expect fancy rooms, gardens, gym, and fixtures, for that you have the newly developed luxury chains several miles out of town.
The hotel could use some renovation, it's generally a bit run-down.
Beautiful and unique. Located right in the center of town, walking distance to restaurants and bars. Loved the balconies, a nice touch.
The location of the hotel was excellent and the cafe at the hotel was pleasant. Cleaning staff was also nice.
The person who checked us in was cold and unfriendly. The rooms were dumpy (paint chipping in the bathroom, old carpet and even older furniture) and we paid extra for a nicer room. They had weak insulation which is important when you're dealing with mosquitos and the 4am blowing machines that clean the park every morning. None of the three rooms we saw looked like the rooms advertised on internet. And finally, the internet did not work. I honestly think that this hotel takes advantage of the lack of competition in Ponce.
The location at the OLD city of PONCE center is exelent. Everything is minutes or steps away, and the hotel staff was very good and helpfull.
No brekfast included...
Friendly staff. Error through booking.com, but staff was accomodating. Excellent roof top restaurant.
Too many mosquitoes in the lobby area. Old matress. Small room.
location on the plaza balcony very nice staff, especially in the cafe
couldn't get wi-fi to work no coffee pot in room
Best location in town. Good price.
Needs a good restaurant.
location, balcony
Hotel is hard to find and nobody answered phone when we called for directions. Only one chair in the room. WiFi doesn't extend to third floor rooms.
Very nice hotel with lots of character. Great location in central Ponce.
Access to hotel area was difficult - lots of detours and construction. Nice core area around the hotel, but outside a few square blocks wasn't really nice.
Our room didn't receive internet so I asked to be moved to another room located on another floor. The staff was very kind in accommodating our request. Also having parking behind the hotel was convenient and well worth paying the $6.00. Staff deserves 5 Stars...resolved problems with noisy guests outside our room, helpful giving directions and with dinner recommendations.
The rooms are old and need a facelift. The common areas of the hotel are nicer and prettier than the rooms.
The location of the hotel was excellent. Everyone at the front desk was extremely pleasant and helpful. The hotel was reminiscent of being in some old European city with its marble tiled floors and iron railings. The food at the café by the beautiful pool was excellent.
The water pressure out of the shower was somewhat less than optimal. I felt that I had to chase down the housekeeping staff for towels on several occasions.
I do not have criteria to evaluate
Iwas not able to use my reservation and did not access away to cancel it last Thursday, so I will have to pay for a service Idid not used

So hooked by audio that I have to read books aloud. *If my reviews help, please let me know.
"Let's start at the very beginning, a very good place to start..." Say you've seen those books over the years, the ones with the little subtitle, "A Jack Reacher Novel", seen they were the 8th in a series, the 12th in a series, and now here comes the 16th, and you've passed them by because who wants to start in the middle? Here is the perfect chance to come on board! With 15 previous novels inspired by this Jack Reacher, you know this has got to be one interesting guy. Why now? Because The Affair is how it all got started (why nomad Jack likes his toothbrush). A brilliant idea by multi award winning author Lee Child; show the reader the etiology of the coffee guzzling, rapier witted, ex-military sleuth as he himself recalls,"I remember the date...the 11th of March 1997..." and thus begins the legend of Jack Reacher as he walks away from the Pentagon. As usual, lots of action, sharp humor, a colorful cast of characters, and a train that speeds through the one-diner town rattling more than the tracks. Dick Hill has been narrating Reacher books for a while and seems to have a great time with this one, particularly some of the scenes involving the train--talk about gusto! Childs has it down to a formula, churning out consistently top rated mystery thrillers, and while it may be predictable--it's never boring to travel along with Reacher. Reacher fans will love this one--newcomers will be jumping on the band wagon--or the train. [Next stop for newbies...#1 in the series, Killing Floor, *Now in movie production: Tom Cruise playing Reacher (some fans are up in arms) #9 in the series, One Shot.]
Two tops in their fields bring their A-game to this production and the result of this perfect union is Creole Belle. Burke is so highly regarded in the literary world that any praise seems redundant and almost cliche; if you've read his works, you know this already. One critic said that "nobody can touch Burke in lyrical expression..." Will Patton, with his smart interpretation skills, is one of the best narrators in the business. With a voice rich in texture and hypnotic appeal, he enhances everything I've heard him read. The two of them together are a match made in audible heaven. I could listen to this collaboration and be lost in words and voice - almost forget to hear the story if it wasn't so explosive.
I'm assuming that readers of this 19th in the Robicheaux series know the basics. This book picks up at The Glass Rainbow's conclusion, and begins a new adventure for the well-seasoned team of Dave Robicheaux and Clete Purcel. A darker and more complex plot than previous books, involving drug runners, human trafficking, art forgery, Nazi war criminals, the Gulf oil *spill,* and as always...a cast of characters as wonderful as their names, and the ruination of Robicheaux's beloved Louisiana wetlands. (With some fascinating, and alarming, insights in to oil rigs - Burke himself having worked on oil rigs in the gulf). Burke has stated that Dave and Clete are "actually one character; they are opposite sides of the same coin," and this time he focuses more sharply on Clete, revealing the differences, and the similarities, in this duo. He also writes more about the forces that shaped the characters in this novel. Creole Belle is comfortably familiar, but not a re-telling of the same story, and Burke somehow manages to add new dimensionality to this already dynamic team with each book.
[* an aside for anyone that might be thinking 19th?! Why jump in now?: Like many book-series, these books can be picked up at any point and enjoyed. Burke often includes backstories; some avid followers might accuse him of repeating portions of previous books, but this practice makes it possible for each novel to be read as its own story. It's more a *pleasurable advantage* to grow-up with the characters, than a *necessity*. I have read several, but not all of the previous 19 novels.]
Some readers say that Burke tends to be too poetic or reflective, that he ruminates and reminisces...my opinion (call me antiquarian)...I love listening to anything he has to say! Burke's poetic style and beautiful atmospheric writing is magical and mesmerizing to me. Just listening to Will Patton read James Lee Burke - I am captivated each time. Highly recommend.
*This is a very tight story; I caution you to be selective with the reviews you read--it would be so easy to inadvertently let a spoiler slip.
GONE is a great, demented, jigsaw puzzle--each little piece an important detail in an intricately shaped plot. You think you can see what the picture will be...but, each newly placed piece changes everything in this sharp psychological/suspense/thriller (emphasis on the psycho). You think you are starting to put it all together...
You....know....nothing. You are on a turbulent twisting ride, observing a fractured poisonous marriage that makes War of the Roses look like a day with June and Ward Cleaver.
Amy and Nick's marriage seemed perfect; the gorgeous hunky golden boy meets the stunningly beautiful and wealthy "cool girl" (i.e. a size 2, loves beer and football, dirty jokes, burping, three-ways, believes in letting her man stay out all night with the boys--yeah sure, and there is a Big Foot). But once the money is...Gone, the powerful NY writers jobs are...Gone, the important social connections...Gone, the dream home...Gone, their facades start to...Go; you see that "just as paranoids sometimes have real enemies, each of them had, in each other, found a mate who fulfilled his or her darkest expectations about the possibilities of love."
The first portion of this book is first person narratives, journal entries, by both Nick and Amy, who reveal little by little who they really are, both by what they say, and by what's between the lines--then all hell breaks loose. Some reviewers have mentioned they thought the second portion wasn't as enjoyable. But that's where all the fun begins--where the elaborate series of malicious and important little clues start to unravel who these two really are, and their possible personality disorders. So hone up your detective skills, review the MMPI and DSM IV, and dig in. I can say no more, lest I spoil it for you!
Gillian Flynn is known for her ability to craft wonderfully contaminated and unlikeable characters, dark--very dark smart plots, and combine them with enough familiarity that the reader becomes totally engaged, and almost feels compelled to turn the page. Her previous novels were almost too dark for me, especially Dark Places, but her writing is so distinctive and witty, and her insight so dead-on, that after a breather and a dose of anything light and fun, I'd go back for more. That's what a good writer does for me. This book contains lots of hard language and sexual situations, enough to be a deal-breaker for some readers.The ending seems to be another issue for reviewers, but see how you feel about it...regardless, the journey is top notch, probably Flynn's best work to date.

SA's March headline PPI quickensComment on this story
Johannesburg - South Africa's headline producer inflation accelerated to 8.2 percent year-on-year in March from 7.7 percent in February, Statistics South Africa said on Thursday.
Economists polled by Reuters had predicted PPI would quicken only slightly to 7.8 percent.
On a month-on-month basis, prices at the factory gate rose by 1.3 percent in March, the same rate as February, against market forecasts of a 0.9 percent increase.
Stats SA releases five industry-specific producer price indices, with final manufactured goods representing the headline number. - Reuters

WACO, Texas - A police informant told authorities that missing Baylor University basketball player Patrick Dennehy was shot in the head with a 9 mm handgun by a former teammate after the two had an argument, according to court documents released Monday.
The former teammate and roommate, Carlton Dotson, told a cousin that he got in an argument with Dennehy while they were shooting guns in the Waco area and that Dennehy pointed a gun at Dotson as if to shoot him, the informant said.
But Dotson instead shot Dennehy in the head with the pistol, the informant said. Dotson said he then drove home to Hurlock, Md., and got rid of the guns along the way, according to the informant.
The search warrant affidavit released Monday was filed June 23 in McLennan County by Waco police detective Bob Fuller.
District Attorney John Segrest declined to comment Monday, referring questions to Waco police. Fuller did not return a phone call Monday. A message left on an answering machine at a number listed for Dotson's guardians in Maryland was not immediately returned.
Waco Police Chief Alberto Melis said no body had been found and no arrests had been made, and he would not elaborate on any evidence. Waco police spokesman Steven Anderson has said authorities believe "potential suspects" include fellow Baylor basketball players.
Dennehy was reported missing by his family on June 19, and his sport utility vehicle, its license plates missing, was found last week in a mall parking lot in Virginia Beach, Va.
Melis said officers were treating the disappearance like a homicide because his department got a call "from an outside source" that said a homicide had occurred in the Waco area and the victim could be associated with a local university.
Dennehy transferred to Baylor in hopes of making what he called a fresh start after getting kicked off his previous basketball team because of his temper.
The 6-foot-10, 230-pound center accepted a scholarship to play basketball at the Baptist school and told friends he had become a born-again Christian. He was a B student and rarely missed a class.
"It's a fresh start," he said when accepting a scholarship in May 2002. "I feel great. It's a new coach, a new team, a new set of personalities."
Tom Stanton, Baylor's athletic director, said Monday he couldn't discuss the case. He also added that he wanted to stop some of the "negative suggestions about his (Dennehy's) temperament."
"We saw a young man who got along well with his teammates and was extremely anxious to compete this year," Stanton said. "Patrick has been a model student-athlete since coming to Baylor. That's why these incredible events have stunned and upset us all."
Kristal Wilson, 21, a senior from El Paso, lives next door to the four-bedroom apartment that she said Dennehy, Dotson and another person shared. She said they were well-mannered and sometimes played loud music, which was typical in the complex.
"They were just really funny guys," she said, fighting back tears. "I'm sure it's upsetting for everybody. It's a tragedy."
Before he disappeared, Dennehy was attending summer school at Baylor, the world's largest Baptist university with more than 14,000 students.
At Baylor, he was not eligible to play basketball for a year, but he practiced with the team and sat on the bench during games.
The junior from Santa Clara, Calif., majored in speech communication and dreamed of playing in the NBA, then working in public relations for his favorite team, the Sacramento Kings, said John Cunningham, a speech communications professor at Baylor.
When Dennehy did not call home on Father's Day, June 15, his mother, Valorie Brabazon, and his stepfather, Brian Brabazon, got worried. When Dennehy's girlfriend called his parents looking for him, they started calling his friends.
What the stepfather found out - he will not give details - upset him so much that he decided to call the university.
Brabazon also said that someone had recently broken into Dennehy's SUV and stolen money from him, and that Dennehy had told Baylor coaches he was scared.
Dennehy played two seasons at the University of New Mexico, where he averaged 10.6 points and 7.5 rebounds his sophomore year and was named honorable mention All-Mountain West Conference in 2001-02.
He was cut from the team after losing his temper during practice, less than two weeks after he argued with a teammate during a game, kicked a chair and stormed out.
Team doctors said a medical condition may have contributed to the outburst, but would not say what it was.
Dotson, a 6-foot-7 forward, averaged 4.6 points and 2.5 rebounds in a reserve role with Baylor last season. He was not expected to return next season. Dotson came to the Waco school after spending two seasons at Paris Junior College.

- Thread: Any problems with iSync PB?
No. This was the first. So far I THINK I've tracked it down to where it seems the 'overwrite' function when starting the process doesn't work. I started with a refreshed contact list on my PB Pizmo and an old list on my palm. I told iSync to clear the plam and then download but I ended up with doulbe of most entries (but not all which is a puzzle). Still fooling around but at 30 minutes per idea it take forever!!!!

Britney Spears: No Red Bull, No Alcohol at Mad Mex (But Lots of Guac!)
While her contracted road crew can be overly rowdy, the rest of Britney Spears' tour team are quite the sober, well-behaved bunch.
Spears and her entourage of 20 hit Mad Mex in the Pittsburgh suburb of North Hills on Thursday night for a completely pleasant two and a half hour meal.
The only caveat laid out in advance by Britney's team: no Red Bull and no alcohol were to be offered to the table. That, and no flash photography.
The meal came the evening after two road crew members had been arrested by Pittsburgh police, which followed a statement from Britney's camp saying the roadies had been dismissed and that Spears' camp would "not tolerate this type of behavior."
"This meal was a really low-key encounter," says manager Matthew Salopek.
Britney rolled up in an SUV limo all dinner-casual—in jeans along with a green and white striped shirt.
Moments later the rest of the tour players showed up for the low-key meal. With a table for Britney's crew, one for her dancers and a separate table for security, the group dined on nachos, burritos and guacamole. Lots of the guac. "They kept commenting that it was a lot like West Coast guac and asking for more," says Salopek. "We brought tons." For beverages the group had only soda and water per previous orders.
Britney Spears had the nachos grande plate "which is a meal onto itself. She was in a good mood—smiling and talking."
As word leaked out about the superstar's presence, more and more locals started to find their way into the restaurant. However, the Brit-group was left to itself, no doubt due to the three security guards working the room. "They were unassuming but a presence," says Salopek. "One of the guys was really big."
"No one went up to them. People in the restaurant seemed to take the whole thing in stride."
And the major celebrity was pretty great as well. "I've worked with far-lesser stars who were a much greater pain," says Salopek. "They were really low-key and it was just nice to have them."
"And they tipped well."
Indeed, after their meal was done, Britney made a quick exit with a smile and a simple good-bye.
"Other than the security guard, and one huge international star," says Salopek, "it was really was a run-of-the-mill evening."
Britney's tour continues in Pittsburgh tonight.

I wasn't really sure how to title the question, but consider the following lua code:
print(function ()
for i=1,10 do
return s
But this prints only the function address, since function () returns a closure. Is there a way to evalute the anonymous function? Like in scheme where i can emprace the lambda in additional brackets?
((lambda ()(display "Hello World")))
Of course i know, i could define the function beforehand and call it later, but i was just curious if this is possible in lua. Thanks in advance for all replys

It is a little discouraging for a city boy like me to try to keep a plant alive. Honestly, in our first house, my wife and I couldn't keep the flowers in the planter out front alive, so we put in plastic flowers. We got lots of compliments as long as people didn't look too closely.
Now we live here in Spencer County and it seems like everyone has a green thumb. They grow gardens full of huge tomatoes and green beans, they have flowers all around their houses and hanging baskets adorn their porches.

Dear Savvy Senior,
Are brand-name medications better than generic, and if not, why is there such a price difference? Also, how can I find out which medicines are available in generic form.
Leery Senior
There are several Civil War soldiers buried behind the former Charles Hough place at the corner of Green's Lane and KY 55. I have been told by the family that they are Confederate soldiers, but the incident that resulted in their deaths has been uncertain.
September 17, 1964
CYNTHIANA – Gov. Steve Beshear Monday joined state officials and community leaders to recognize two bills that support the state's farm families and food banks. In particular, the budget bill provided funding for the Farms to Food Banks initiative. A second bill designed to support landowner rights in protecting their crops and livestock from nuisance wildlife also has beneficial impacts for food banks.
Beshear ceremonially signed House Bills 235 and 448 at the Harrison County Extension Office in Cynthiana.
All in all we have had a decent summer with reasonable temperatures and adequate rainfall. I think the marker for the summer of 2014 can go to the weeds. So as you address some fall weeding chores you may also want to do a little preening to give some of your annuals and perennials a face-lift for fall.

FIFA 07 Demo
Kick-start your manager career
The entire game revolves around the career mode, which enables you to take control of a team and make your way up through the league board, as well as participate in International competitions. Beside winning the respect of your fans, you also receive money from your sponsors, which also provide you with various conditions and challenges in order to keep providing you with match funding.
The career mode also implies taking care of your players, by managing their contracts and keeping their morale high when their performance does not rise according to the expectations. In addition, you also have the possibility to manage their salaries, as well as borrow or purchase new players whenever the transfer period is active.
New gameplay improvements and refined ball control
As it happens every year, the game receives its fair share of improvements when it comes to graphics and physics, as well as a more accurate player and ball control on the field. This translates into a smoother gameplay, which makes the entire experience feel more like a real football match and it allows you to perform more natural combos and combinations.
The commentary, on the other hand, although slightly improved, can get very repetitive after a few hours and you might feel the need to turn it off and enjoy the crowd chants instead. In addition, the game also features a brand new soundtrack, with a large number of popular songs from famous artists around the world.
Lead your team to glory and international fame
Beside the singleplayer improvements, FIFA 07 brings a wide array of multiplayer goodies as well, including a new mode called "Be a pro", which enables you to play as an individual and help the desired team to win championships. Thus, overall, FIFA 07 does its duty and provides you with a new soccer simulator to keep you occupied until next year.

Arizona's ban on Medicaid funds for health-care providers who perform abortions was properly struck down because it violates federal rules giving patients the right to choose their own doctor, a U.S. appeals court said.
A three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals in San Francisco today upheld a lower-court ruling that voided the law this year on grounds that it excluded otherwise qualified physicians from participation in the state's Medicaid program.
Arizona has defined qualified as excluding health providers who perform abortions, lawyers for the state told the panel at a hearing in June.
The Arizona law prohibits Medicaid funding for health-care providers who perform abortions except when the pregnancy is the result of rape or incest or threatens the health or life of the mother. The measure, which had been scheduled to take effect in August, was challenged by Planned Parenthood Arizona.
Stephanie Grisham, a spokeswoman for AZ Attorney General Tom Horne, didn't immediately respond to a e-mail message seeking comment on the ruling.
The case is Planned Parenthood Arizona Inc. v. Betlach, 12-17558, U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit (San Francisco).

Window of Opportunity Closing to Refinance Home at Low Rates
WASHINGTON TOWNSHIP -- Need a few extra dollars in your pocket? Well now may be the best time to refinance.
"It's just a lot of effort you want to make sure you get a good rate," said
Toniya Singh who hasn't refinanced her home in a few years. "The first time we refinance we had about a 2 percent savings. Now we may not have that much because we're already lower, but we are still going to look into it if it's going to be more than 1 percent it's worth it."
"You may be sitting at 5 percent and thinking that's great because you remember the days of 7 percent and 9 percent but at 5 percent if you go down to 3.5 percent you can save anywhere from $80 to $120 a month," said Jan Leverett of Irongate Realtors.
If you're thinking about refinancing your home Realtors say not to wait because the window of opportunity may be closing.
"The government is not going to be supporting a lot of the programs they've been having," said Leverett. "A lot of the programs are expiring if they didn't already expire in December. A couple of them were extended to this year but they will soon be going away. I don't know why they're waiting to refinance. It's time to make that leap of faith because it really is a good time."
Francine Riley didn't wait. Her bank just accepted her lower refinanced rate.
"We are happy we refinanced. It means we have a little bit more money to play with and we have money now to do some things to the house. After 19 years we need to do."
And now Toniya Singh says she's not going to wait any longer.
"Make sure I talk about it tonight at dinner," said Singh. "It's work. It's a lot of paperwork. It's a lot of phone calls and a lot of effort but if it's a saving of that magnitude, I think the sooner the better."
Realtors advise that you spend the money you save from refinancing on paying off the house sooner.

Compulsive hoarder gets help; show to air
Cheryl Sherrell said she agreed to participate in the cable television show because the producers offered to pay for an organizer and for her therapy at the University of California San Diego anxiety-disorders clinic.
Catherine Ayers, a UCSD psychiatry professor and the clinic's program director, said hoarding is a disorder that usually requires treatment with medication and therapy. Patients are taught how to deal with the anxiety they encounter when discarding their items, and learn how to plan and prioritize as they clean up their homes.
Cheryl Sherrell said it was agonizing for her to work with an organizer as she tried to clear out the clutter. "I'd start to clean and the anxiety would build and I couldn't continue," she said.
Sherrell said she has gotten rid of about 15 percent of what she had, but knows she still has a long way to go. The backyard and garage are still filled with cardboard boxes, bags and clothing, and a back bedroom has become a staging area where she decides what to throw out.
She's offering herself as the "poster child for hoarders" and has set up a Facebook page called "Hoarding — Utter Clutter" that she hopes will result in a support group.
"Hoarders hide. We're in shame," Sherrell said. "There are a lot of people out there who need help."

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.
