Farang cannot know Thai-ness
Re: Farang cannot know Thai-ness
Farangs will never understand that the convenience offered by driving on the wrong side of the road outweighs the dangers created.
Farangs will never understand why you still love your drunken father who you send money to from Pattaya.
Farangs will never understand why it is legal to generate unlimited amounts of noise in residential neighborhoods in order to sell a 10 baht icecream.
Farangs will never understand why you park across from our gates everyday making it difficult to get our cars in or out of the driveway, but the first time we park across the street from your gate, to try to show you something, we are called all kinds of names and harassed.
Farangs will never understand why you allow people with no idea whatsoever how to drive to get a license for 200 THB under the table.
Farangs will never understand why you allow your children to drive around on motorcycles when they are 7 years old.
Farangs will never understand Thai husbands that allow their wife to live with a Farang when he is in country, help spend the Farangs money when he is not, and think he is maintaining "face".
Farangs will never understand women losing their house in a card game.
I could go on and on, but I think the point is made.
You are absolutely correct, Farangs can not understand "Thai-Ness".

Re: Farang cannot know Thai-ness
If somebody runs a red light and hits me in Thailand it would be my fault, no thank you!!! and if he is a mad scooter driver with no helmet and smashes his skull, I would be up on charges for a fatality.
I have enjoyed my visits to Thailand just as much as I am glad I don't live there.
A lot of Thais women I know understand Thainess; they got themsleves out, to Germany, Britain, America and Canada. It took about 2 months in 2003 / 04 to 'know' people are not allowed to say what they think and there is choking, burning garbage and litter all over the place.
If those 2 things are ever changed.

Re: Farang cannot know Thai-ness
I am European but I experienced that as a foreigner you can come close to the very kernel of Thai culture if you try. The point that is difficult to westerners is that almost nobody will ever tell you the truth straight. Many things you will not understand as a foreigner you may not even like but you can try to accept and respect them. If you do it and have patience you will gain more insight because pieces will come together. Thai culture is much more complex than it appears to be at first glance. Believe me there are good reasons, in a western sense, why Thai behave the way they are doing. There is a way foreigners can come closer to understand Thai. I believe that it is mostly your will to open up.
If foreigners try to project their experience and values on to Thai society they will fail.
So the discussion in my perception is mostly about differentiation between those that are and will be 'outsiders' and those who really try to understand.

Re: Farang cannot know Thai-ness
I, unlike blog888, am not shocked by the ignorance, hipocracy and self righteousness that speaks out here in this thread, after all, they are 3 qualities that really define our "western-ness"
We come to Thailand intitially to get our kicks and escape from the mundane predictability of our western lives and we remain here, perpetual tourists looking for pleasure at every turn. Then, when we fail to intergrate and understand the ways of our hosts, or realise that when you settle in a place it stops being a holiday, we join a forum and bitch about it to other "disillusioned" western 'men', and go to bars in Pattaya and Phuket and do the same there. Its very sad! If you dont like the way Thai people are then perhaps you should "Bai glai glai loi"
To say that Thai people are myopic is myopic in itself. Its lack of education that you mistake for short sightedness. To say they are xenophobic is a ridiculous generalization derived from the fact that the area 'where you live' has been hammered by tourists of various orientations for years, who come and throw their money around and get their kicks without a care for the culture or the people which, to them, are both deemed novel. Go to Ibiza, Paris, Kuala Lumpur or Bali and see what the 'locals' think of you. You will find that tourists are disliked but tolerated and if you act like a tourist, which I'm sure many of the critics writing here do i.e. not speaking the language, not accepting the culture, then you should expect to be treated as one.
If you have 250 single Thai girl "friends" then you are clearly a sex tourist and one of the causes of the alleged xenophobia. Try moving out of Pattaya or wherever it is you live, to an area populated by Thai people alone. Learn to speak the language and dont assume that everyone wants something from you and you might just get to experience real Thai-ness. If you hook up with bar girls who have come from poor families who live in areas where the standard of education is poor then you have to moral/cultural differences and, if you really want to be with them you have to try to understand why they are different or a least accept it.
Hipocrisy is an ugly trait!

Re: Farang cannot know Thai-ness
For Farangs doing business in Thailand, it's great to know Thai-ness, as it's the environment we are swimming in, we need to understand it so we can thrive. Just like we need to learn the rules of the road in Thailand in order to drive here accident free, we need to understand cultural sensibilities - should I say neuroses? - to master the social life here.
For Thais, it's would be best to forget all about it and to take an open minded approach to the world. And quite a few Thais do, actually.
There's a lot to overcome, and it's just so much easier to see for us outsiders, and infinitely harder for people who grew up here. All we can do is try to get over our own inherited beliefs... and to see all humans for what they are beneath that thin veneer of cultural paint.
People quite often ask me - don't you have a problem with the different culture? Isn't it a problem between you and your wife that you come from totally different cultures? My answer has always been the same: No. I don't have a problem with the different cultures. Cultures are cultures, nothing to get hung up on. The deeper truths in life are completely separate from the culture you grow up in. They're universal, and apply to all humans, no matter where they're from or how they were brought up. Thai culture is more open in some respects than where I came from in the west - and in other ways it's more closed. What's the big deal? If the culture here becomes too oppressive to live here, I will move my family back to the west, to the USA, more specifically California. But so far that hasn't happened.

Re: Farang cannot know Thai-ness
Like Khun thinkabaht said, living in the tourist area can mislead the perception in Thai-ness.
Seen that Superstition is an obvious Thai-ness. I accept that. But they (Superstitions) are not the true Buddhists. Thai people that really are the Buddhism will have no relation about this.
Belief and walk along the MIDDLE WAY (Eightfold path) of Buddha is the basic way of living of Buddhists.
About the Driving, when I was abroad first, I was so curious how good manner that they drive (Germany). This is a very good point and I want Thais to improve themselves of driving. But I still think that it's better than Indian and Chinese driving.

The Kathryn DeLorme Huck Family Home PageUpdated October 10, 2000 |
I am researching the surnames of Alard, Allard, Brunette, Cormier, Delorm, DeLorme, Grignon, Porlier, Harder, Guetersohn, Guetersohnka, Boisvert, Greenwood & many others. Most of the family originated from France, Belgium & Canada. The Harder & Guetersohn line originated from Berlin, Germany & Prussia. I have very little information on the Harder, Guetersohn line. I have extensive research on the other names. Would love to share information with anyone in the family tree. I know we have native Americans in the tree, and am most interested in any link to these people. Many of my ancestors are traced back to the 1500's & 1600's. Thank you in advance. |

The College Database was started in 2012 by Doug, Wes and Aaron. Our vision was (and still remains) to simply provide accurate information to ease the decision making process for post-secondary education for high school students, college students and adult learners. From young to old, we look to serve those in the educational ecosystem to help make more informed decisions.
Our visitors come from over 130 counties across the world. Prospective students searching for college and university information for schools in the United States can find tuition, enrollment, university type, location based information with integrated Google Maps for usability, and various rankings information to see how the schools they are considering compare against others. In our pursuit of ever increasing our value to those we serve, we welcome comments and suggestions below.
With such a critical decision in life – what college or university to attend – we consider data integrity as a critical element of our value to our website visitors. Drawing only from reliable data sources such as the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, U.S. Census Bureau, American Fact Finder, The National Center for Education Statistics (NCES), and The Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System, we publish only data that is backed by the United States federal government.
Coming from the tech world in Silicon Valley, Doug has a passion for data and education. Graduating from Carnegie Mellon with a degree in Business and Entrepreneurship, Doug dove head first into the College Database initiative last year, leveraging learnings from his own education and career in tech. Doug has a lovely wife Mimi and a son Caiden, with another little guy on the way in early 2014.
Wes earned his master's degree in history and international relations in 2006, book-ended by teaching stints at the elementary and college levels, respectively. He entered the content side of post-secondary education as an editor in 2007. Wes built upon his editorial experience to become Director of Web Content at one of Silicon Valley's largest higher education publishers. He joins The College Database as vice president of communications.

How would you like to dress up your home with some fine art and help a good cause in the process? You can do just that this weekend with the Pender County Humane Society's Fifth Annual Artists Aid the Animals Arts Show.
It will feature art from more than two dozen artists, including painters Ivey Hayes and Ronald Williams and photographer Chuck Carmack.
"(There will be) everything from pottery to jewelry. But it's just their love for animals and to help us raise money. Even though we say Pender County Humane Society, we have no funding from the county. It's all what we raise and the art show helps us with operating," said Gloria Johnson of the Pender County Humane Society.
The Artists Aid the Animals Art Show takes place Saturday at American Legion Post 10 on Pine Grove Road in Wilmington. It runs from 10:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m. Admission is free, but donations are welcome.

Scientists are working on a faster, more secure internet without servers
Posted By Enrique Manalang On November 4, 2013 @ 9:59 AM In General Tech,World Wide Web | 2 Comments
A group of researchers are aiming to change the fundamental architecture of the internet: computers connecting to servers. The project is called Pursuit, and the goal is a completely new architecture that's faster, more secure and does not rely on servers like the internet does today.
To achieve this, researchers from the University of Cambridge Computer Lab want to implement a system where individual computers will be able to "copy and re-publish content on receipt," allowing them to access bits of data from many locations at once. It's basically the concept of peer-to-peer sharing, only implemented throughout the entirety of the internet. The benefits would include not only a faster and more secure internet, but also new possibilities that simply wouldn't work on the internet of today:
In addition to removing the need for servers, Pursuit will also remove the idea of URLs. Instead, searches online would look for URIs (Uniform Resource Identifiers) that will specify where data is, and how to find it. One of the researchers, Dirk Trossen, explains the concept further:
"Under our system, if someone near you had already watched [a] video or show, then in the course of getting it their computer or platform would republish the content. That would enable you to get the content from their network, as well as from the original server… Widely used content that millions of people want would end up being widely diffused across the network. Everyone who has republished the content could give you some, or all of it. So essentially we are taking dedicated servers out of the equation."
Fundamentally changing the way the internet works, which has always worked this way, is ambitious to say the least. But if these researchers can accomplish it, along with all the other benefits mentioned, then we might have more than just incremental speed boosts to look forward to in the future.

About Mispace
An easy word to say, a far more challenging thing to actually deliver!
Mi-space was built on a partnering ethos. This collaborative culture is the central characteristic of the organisation and something that we genuinely believe in.
Whilst contentious issues will always appear occasionally we try to look at all problems in the context of the overall project and our relationship with the customer. We understand that long term relationships are of critical importance and that fairness and mutual understanding are an achievable objective.
Every project, every framework and every individual is different, what is constant is the Mi-space approach to adapting to those differences. We never lose sight of what it is we are trying to deliver, and we always examine our own organisational behaviour and ask the question every day. "How can we do this better".

CHICKASHA – The Southwest Oklahoma Impact Coalition took top honors among more than 450 economic development organizations from the United States and Canada at a recent forum in Chicago.
The SOIC won the "Raising the Bar" 2006 Synchronist Award at the annual Synchronist User's Forum, hosted by Blane, Canada Ltd., for its front line team's work on collecting and compiling information based on approximately 150 interviews with southwest Oklahoma manufacturers.
CHICKASHA – What do three celebrities, four penguins, 10,000 cockroaches and an Egyptian mummy have in common? They're all part of the upcoming production of "The Man Who Came to Dinner" at the University of Science and Arts.
The well-known Broadway comedy hits the Davis Hall Little Theatre Oct. 27-28 at 8 p.m. with a matinee Oct. 29 at 2 p.m.
Katie Simons, assistant professor of drama, said the wit and energy of the play will carry easily to the audience.
CHICKASHA – A globetrotting violin virtuoso is coming to Chickasha for one night of solo classical music. As part of the sixth annual Davis-Waldorf Performing Arts Series (DWPAS), Grammy-nominated violinist Emanuel Borok will be performing live Oct. 24 at the University of Science and Arts.
CHICKASHA – Plans are underway for more than 300 guests at this year's Alumni Homecoming at the University and Science of Arts. Beginning Nov. 3, USAO alums from 10 states and even foreign nations will gather on the university campus for a weekend of traditions and memory making.
Alumni President Angie Burruss said that USAO grads are in for an exciting weekend.
CHICKASHA – Most artists "discover" art within themselves at a young age. For Mary Ellen Thomas, it happened a bit later.
"I found ceramics, or ceramics found me, at the age of 60," she said.
The 81-year-old University of Science and Arts alumna recalled about her 20-year artistic journey, which culminated with award-winning stoneware and a ceramics glazing technique that has caught national attention.
CHICKASHA – Karen Brady is a nontraditional student. At 55, she is taking "nontraditional" to another level. As a communication senior at the University of Science and Arts, Brady is giving her senior project a different twist. She is displaying original art collages October 13 at the USAO Art Gallery. That's right, Friday the 13th.
Brady, who lives 10 miles west of Minco, said she loved the idea for the dark date.
John Lennon impersonator Bill Kropinak joins Billy Joel and Elton John impersonator Lee Alverson for a night of rock music Oct. 12.

USAO students, faculty and staff get in for $10 when purchased at the university. Tickets are available at the USAO Box Office, as well as several Chickasha businesses. A portion of the proceeds benefits the USAO Concert Band.
CHICKASHA – Arias, accordions and "chopsticks" are on the menu for the music faculty's fall concert at the University of Science and Arts. The public is invited to the free concert Oct. 9 that showcases faculty members on piano, voice and even accordion.
Dr. Jan Hanson, professor of music and choir conductor, said the 7:30 p.m. concert in the Alumni Chapel serves as a rare chance for the community to see the music faculty in action.
Chickasha residents won't be the only ones in line for a good thing when 'Elton John' and 'Billy Joel' meet 'John Lennon' on stage at the University of Science and Arts. A portion of the Oct. 12 concert's proceeds will go directly to the USAO Concert Band.
"The Legends of Rock 'N' Roll" musical tribute concert features two East Coast performers dressing and acting the parts of three of rock music's most famous artists.
CHICKASHA – Seven students are poised to take theatergoers on a psychological ride exploring paranoia, drug addiction, abuse … and bugs. A student performance of "Bug," by Tracy Letts, debuts Oct. 6 in the Davis Hall Little Theatre at 8 p.m. at the University of Science and Arts of Oklahoma.

Two professors benefit from Tri Delta's annual National Humanities Center Fellowship
In an 1837 address to the Phi Beta Kappa Society at Harvard University, Ralph Waldo Emerson spoke of the American Scholar, whom he envisioned as being not just a thinker, but a creator — one who would become an intellectual leader. Rather than simply studying the theories which lay hidden among the pages of dusty, old books in libraries, this American Scholar would write the books and develop the innovative theories.
Just as Emerson imagined, today in the world of academia, there are numerous men and women who dedicate themselves to contributing new knowledge to their fields, hopeful that their ideas may influence fellow scholars and future students. Drs. Matthew Gordon and Paul Losensky are two such scholars whom Tri Delta has chosen to support through the National Humanities Center Fellowship. This fellowship — which Tri Delta has awarded annually for the past 23 years — will allow Drs. Gordon and Losensky to take a sabbatical from teaching and focus exclusively on their research at the National Humanities Center in Research Triangle Park, N.C. Recently, Drs. Gordon and Losensky took a short break from the books to discuss their projects with us.
Dr. Gordon:
What are you working on at the National Humanities Center?
My project is a study of slavery and social mobility in the ninth-century Arab/Islamic Near East (my area is medieval Near Eastern social history). I am particularly interested in the cities of Baghdad and Samarra. All indications are that the populations of both cities relied heavily on slave labor; even modest households probably owned at least one slave. It is also clear that slaves were transported into the urban Near East from a variety of regions; the evidence points to a substantial slave market in this period.
I will have much to say about two specific groups of urban slaves. The one group consisted of elite female entertainers, most of whom were singers and musicians. The sources (medieval Arabic texts) refer to the careers of certain of these women, making much of their rise to prominence. The second group was made up of military men, officers and soldiers, of predominantly Turkish/Central Asian origin. Here, too, social mobility played its part, in that much like the slave singers, the soldiers entered Near Eastern society as slaves, bereft of social standing, wealth and local attachments. Only with considerable effort (and good fortune) did certain of these men, like a small number of the singers, rise to positions of standing.
In terms of gender, access to decision-making and the forms of labor they provided, the singers and soldiers followed distinct paths. I will discuss issues particular to each group such as gender relations and legal discrimination faced by the young women slaves, and those related to ethnic and social stigma targeted at the young Turkish recruits (as an Other to urban imperial society). Despite these divergences, however, there is good reason to take stock of singers and soldiers together. My aim is to carry out a particular kind of collective history, taking slavery and social mobility as the organizing questions.
How and when did you fall in love with your subject matter?
The project derives from the research I carried out for my first monograph, "The Breaking of a Thousand Swords" (SUNY Press, 2001), a study of the slave military system put in place by the ninth-century Arab/Islamic imperial state. I have also written separately about the women singers and courtesans. My hope now is to make better sense of the context in which the two very different groups of slaves provided their labor to contemporary society: the rise of a substantial slave economy in the early medieval Islamic Near East.
What does this fellowship mean to you as a scholar?
To put it simply, the fellowship provides me with the time — nine months! — to devote to my research and writing. I love teaching, and I am perfectly willing to carry out the other duties asked of me in a typical year on campus. But, for now, I am delighted to have this opportunity to focus my time and energy. It is an opportunity for which I am enormously grateful.
Dr. Losensky:
What are you working on at the National Humanities Center?
Everyone is probably familiar with iconic images of the Taj Mahal. What few know is that this monument is but one representative of a far-flung cultural and literary realm, where Persian was the language of poetry and administration across much of South Asia, the Middle East and Central Asia in the 16th-18th centuries. My book project focuses on the master poet of the age, Mohammad Ali Sa'eb Tabrizi (d. 1676). Arguably the most famous living poet in the world in the 17th century, his poetry was renowned not only in his native Iran, but as far away as Istanbul and Delhi. I am particularly interested in his poetics of effulgence, which is based on the idea that a single creative force animates all reality but is manifested in an infinite variety of material forms. According to this theory of the world, all objects contain a surplus of meaning, and any object is potentially comparable to any other. As a result, Sa'eb's poetry is characterized by an intricate and unending play of metaphor and simile. In my project, I will work to bring to light some of the principles of this network of metaphorical relations by examining several key images found repeated in his work. In the process, I will attempt to show the similarities between Sa'eb's poetry and the contemporary poetry of the European baroque, as well as the poetry of our own time and culture.
How and when did you fall in love with your subject matter?
I began to study Persian as an undergraduate at the University of Chicago. As a linguistics major and comparative literature minor, I was required to take a non-Western language. I had met the Persian professor in an elective course on Middle Eastern folklore and knew a little something about Persian literature through the "Rubáiyát of Omar Khayyám" and some translations by Ralph Waldo Emerson. I started Persian in 1980. This was a year after the Islamic Revolution in Iran, and political exiles and refugees were arriving in droves in Chicago. In the two years that I took off between college and graduate school, I worked for community organizations dedicated to helping Iranians displaced by the revolution settle into new lives in the U.S. I had always hoped to continue my studies in comparative literature. As my Persian improved, I came to know many Iranians personally and to appreciate their love for their poetry and ancient culture, and Persian became the inevitable choice for my graduate concentration. My research has since led to extended stays in the Middle East, Central Asia and India. I have even lived in Iran for several months on two occasions, one of the few American scholars to have this opportunity since the revolution. Although my initial choice of Persian was somewhat serendipitous, it has proven to be a richly rewarding career and vocation.
What does this fellowship mean to you as a scholar?
As a professor at Indiana University, I have to fulfill a hundred and one duties, big and small, during the school year. There are classes, the hours of preparation that go into them (professors have homework, too!), meetings with students and grading exams and papers. Students, both graduates and undergraduates, come to me frequently with questions about their studies, their progress on their degrees and career plans. Hours each week can be taken up with faculty meetings and committee work, all necessary to keep the programs and the university running smoothly and growing toward the future. What is often lost in all this is the opportunity to think, to read and to write — precisely the activities that got me the job in the first place. This fellowship provides a rare and precious opportunity to devote myself fully to the life of the mind in a fostering, scholarly environment. Not only will the fellowship allow me to complete a research project that has been developing over the last eight years, but it should also provide the opportunity to let my imagination run free, to gain a new perspective on my field and to begin to formulate future projects.
Incidentally, my office at the National Humanities Center is located at the east end of the building, mere footsteps from the Tri Delta garden where I often go to catch a breath of fresh air and collect my thoughts in its calm and tranquil atmosphere. I have no end of reasons to be grateful for your sorority's commitment to the noble goals of the National Humanities Center. [if gte mso 9]>

Portraiture, Location Portaiture and Lifestyle Portaiture
This can be in your own home or outdoors at a local beauty spot. We can meet beforehand to discuss the style of portrait required, what clothes to wear, props and the setting / location.
The shoot will normally take between 1 and 1.5 hours. You can bring items that define you or say something about you along, This will make the image more individual and so more expressive of you. Why not bring your pet, perhaps you would like a portrait of him/her at the same time.
I prefer to work in a normal and therefore more relaxed environment of the sitter, I do not have a permanent studio, however one can be hired at cost. Low resolution images on CD/DVD will be provided from which you can make a selection for the final print or prints.
I reserve the right to use a small number of images, with the permission of the respective subjects, for advertising and/or promotional use.

Review: MenuBarFilter for Mac changes the color of your menu bar
Enhance the appearance and navigability of the Mac OS X menu bar with MenuBarFilter for Mac.
MenuBarFilter for Mac's richly contrasted interface enhances the appearance of the Mac OS X menu bar, increasing visibility; but a lack of any customization options lessens its overall usefulness.
As soon as you unzip MenuBarFilter for Mac, it automatically transforms the muted grays of the Mac OS X menu bar into a richly contrasted palette of dark gray and white, reminiscent of the iOS menu bar. The enhanced contrast greatly increases visibility, making the menu bar options much easier to read and navigate. The application offers no user-defined options to control the contrast, color, or appearance of the menu bar filter, though; so if you aren't happy with the changes, this isn't the app for you. A lack of documentation and no uninstall feature are also problematic for this application. In order to disable the application and restore the default contrast of the OS X menu bar, we had to open Terminal and input the command "killall MenuBarFilter." Allowing users complete control of the color and contrast would have been preferable, but if you like the changes it makes, they couldn't be easier to apply.
MenuBarFilter for Mac offers a free solution for users seeking to enhance the visibility of the Mac OS X menu bar. It isn't without problems, though; but for those who don't mind the lack of options, this is a very easy way to make your menu bar easier to read.

Cold and Flu Remedies
Considering all of the major recalls that have been conducted this past year on our children's over the counter medicines along with the rising concern of antibiotic resistant bacteria, I feel it is time to introduce you to a safer alternative. For the past two years, I have been using doTERRA essential oils on my family when illness has hit our home instead of cough syrups, fever reducers, & pain relievers. Guess what? My natural remedies really work! I no longer have to worry about the harmful side effects that can come from using synthetic products. I would like to share with you my favorite home remedies for colds and flu.
The first step to take with ANY illness is to give your family OnGuard Oil immediately. This can be done by simply dropping 3 drops of OnGuard under the tongue (it is a hot oil, you may need to add coconut oil for small children) or have them take 4 drops of OnGuard & Lemon in a empty gel capsule.
*OnGuard Oil is a blend of cinnamon, clove, rosemary, and wild orange and has several studies showings its effectiveness in fighting off viral infections. A recently published study in the US National Library of medicine shows that OnGuard oil is effective against H1N1 virus.
Cold and Flu-(The BOMB recipe) – Take 4 drops OnGuard, 3 drops each of Oregano, Lemon and Thyme or Clove. Drop oils into a capsule and take up to every three hours at the onset or during the process of the cold or flu. (Don't forget to continue taking the capsules a day or two after symptoms disappear (just like you would a antibiotic).
For children - Reduce the drops to 2-3 each. If child is unable to swallow a capsule, apply to the bottoms of the feet. Make sure to use a carrier oil on if applied on the skin because Oregano and OnGuard are hot oils that can burn the skin.
Coughs- I apply 3 drops of Breathe Oil, Rosemary, or Myrrh Oil to the chest and feet. I diffuse the room with Breathe Oil at night. The OnGuard Throat Drops are great to use during the day while at school or work.
* A diffuser is a like a humidifier, but made for essential oils. Essential oils can eat through the plastic of humidifiers. A diffuser will fill your home with a wonderful aroma of your choice while killing airborne pathogens. Your candle can't do that!
Runny Nose- I rub a small amount of Lavender Oil under each nostrils and also on the bottom of the feet. Lavender Oil is a natural antihistamine. If your child is old enough to swallow a capsule, give them 3 drops of Lavender, Lemon, & Peppermint in a capsule daily.
Sore Throat- I drop 3 drops of Lemon Oil on the tongue and swish it around or place 2 drops of Lemon oil & 2 drops of Melaleuca Oil in a small amount of warm water and gargle it.
Fever- remember that fevers are the body's way of fighting off the cold/flu naturally. We tend to treat a fever as the enemy when it is actually a friend, unless it spikes too high. Peppermint Oil rubbed on the feet every two hours will naturally bring down a fever. I also rub it behind the neck. Use coconut oil on small children with sensitive skin.
Aches- When a family member complains of aches, I will do the spinal technique on them. Most bacteria and viruses tend to camp out in your spine, by doing this technique, you will be drawing attention to the problem and taking care of it. This is great to do with any illness and everybody loves a back rub!
- apply coconut oil down the spine
- follow with 4 drops of Oregano Oil
- add 4 drops of AromaTouch Oil
- end with 4 drops of Peppermint Oil
- hot compress with a rice or bean pad for 10 minutes
Stomach Issues- Digestzen Oil will be your best friend! Apply 2-3 drops on your abdomen or take 4 drops in an empty gel capsule 3 times daily.
Earaches- Rub 1-2 drops of Basil Oil, Lavender Oil, and Melaleuca Oil around the ear. Place drops on a cotton ball and place in ear. Never drop oils directly in the ear canal. All studies prove that antibiotics are not effective for most ear infections.
Sinus Infection- Take 4 drops of Oregano Oil, OnGuard Oil, & Lemon Oil in a capsule 3 times daily. Rub Breathe Oil over sinus area topically.(be careful not to get it too close to your eyes, it will burn)
The key to success is to start using essential oils as soon as you feel the first sign of a cold or flu coming on. My family and I use essential oils daily which has greatly reduced that amount of illness in our home. If my kids have friends that are sick, I have them drop the OnGuard Oil under their tongue as a preventative. It has worked wonderfully so far this year!
Take a look at the Family Physician Kit. It has completely replaced my medicine cabinet.

ZipWire has two upcoming shows (Amelia Sauter, Jules Piper, Leah Houghtaling):
Wednesday April 8 @ 7pm - Trumansburg Pourhouse (for the Sufferjets recruitment party)
Saturday April 11 @ 8pm - Westcott Community Center, Syracuse NY
About ZipWire: ZipWire is an unlikely, intriguing collaboration between Black Eyed Susies/Mary Lorson Band members Leah Houghtaling and Amelia Sauter, and Jules Piper of The Witching. The girls have dubbed their unique melding of sounds "Ithacountry," characterized by the intermingling of rock, Americana, folk and country that one might come to expect in Ithaca. Jules' growling vocals, Amelia's country harmonies and Leah's driving banjo provide the platform for a point-and-shoot high energy performance laced with three-part harmonies.
ZipWire's influences range from old time and folk to classical and hard rock. Jules Piper traveled as the folk rock duo Jules and Dami before playing electric guitar with the heavy-hitting rock band The Witching from 2004-2006. Most recently she has performed as a solo artist. Jules is an outright live wire on stage, with an infectious songwriting style, lively guitar technique and growling, aggressive vocals. Amelia Sauter and Leah Houghtaling were two of the three voices of the Black Eyed Susies from 2007-2009. Amelia plucks the bass strings resonantly and sings with a voice that has been described as "wicked old-school country." Leah drives ZipWire's hint of twang-rock with an uncommon claw-hammer-meets-melodic-experimental banjo style.
ZipWire debuted in February 2009 at Castaways for Bob Proehl's Burrito Brothers/Graham Parsons show, alongside Johnny Dowd, Mary Lorson and Steve Gollnick. They have spring and summer shows scheduled in Ithaca, Cortland, Syracuse, Rochester and Pennsylvania.

Regarding the clear hatch, he states In that video: "It's clear so it enables the gyro to work effectively. It has to be clear so the gyro can see what's going on around it and make adjustments accordingly." Is that true? Is there an optical sensor on the AR635? I get the feeling this guy doesn't know what he's talking about. |

I am not a 3D expert. Flew the visionaire for the third time today, first time in acceptable conditions. From my point of view, the AS 3X system helps when doing hovers, torque rolls, waterfalls. It seems to give me more time to react. I find these manoeuvers easier to do than with my Parkmaster. Only in rolling manoeuvers and knive edge flight it feels a bit strange.

I have flown my VA for over a week now . No problems at all , Love this aircraft.
Although I can't seem to access any programs in the reciever. I do have sport and 3d modes. I center my throttle , turn on the Tx, hold sticks in required position, then get someone to connect battery. Is this the right sequence to enter the programing? Maybe I am doing it wrong. Trying to hold the sticks with one hand and trying to connect the battery with the other is difficult. Cheers |

..did you download the AR635 manual ?- I did it but not study it up to now- first of all I will try the stock gain setup- if it works fine I will not play with the gains.
- Are they any benefit with other props ? Read something about a APC 12x6 but don't know if it burned the ESC ? Hope I can go out next weekend with my Visionaire |

Episode Information
It comes up every time we talk about transportation and infrastructure - a Springfield to New Haven communter line. Is it possible? The proposed line would connect three cities along the I-91 corrider - and link together suburban communities along the route. It's seen by advocates as a vital step toward spurring business, unclogging the highways, and creating a more sustainable region. Today, Where We Live, we'll dig into rail proposal, myth and reality.
Join the conversation! Is the commuter rail a "transformative" project? Does it make the right kind of investment in transportation?
DOT Commissioner says Amtrack cooperation is key
Governor Rell says plans for a Springfield to New Haven commuter rail line are not ready to take advantage of federal stimulus money, but state transportation officials hope a partnership with Amtrak will fast-track the project.
Amtrak already runs a route from New Haven to Hartford, but it takes about 55 minutes for the 40 mile trip. It owns the track where a new commuter line would run. State Transportation Commissioner Joseph Marie is hoping Amtrak's support within the Obama administration will work to Connecticut's advantage.
"We think that Amtrak is positioned well to argue their case with us to make the investment necessary on this important corridor"
Marie says he met with Amtrak officials last week to discuss the line. They plan to meet again in Washington later this month.
"So what we're trying to do now is to create some momentum now around making a reinvestment so that we can get a really good, quick commute."
Back in the 1990s, Amtrak actually dismantled some of the railways that will be necessary by converting double-track rail beds and and bridges down to a single track.
Rep. David McCluskey of West Hartford says Governor Rell is wrong when she says this commuter line isn't a shovel ready project. He says some of the necessary work, like the restoration of double rail beds, could start immediately with the federal influx of cash.
"Amtrak also has stimulus in the package, so Amtrak, working with the state of Connecticut could put in stimulus money to start moving on this project."
A legislative study last year estimated it will cost $291 million to get the Springfield to New Haven commuter line up and running.

Maglev in 24 months in China
Great show and I appreciate the opportunity to give a perspective from north of the border
I did want to respond to one of the comments on the show that asked (in effect) how is it that China was able to deploy their maglev system in 24 months while it takes us years to build much simpler systems. In the maglev example, China essentially disposed of the entire environmental review process - government officials basically knocked on resident's doors, said "we're building a maglev system, you need to move out by this date because we're going to knock your house down" and built the system.
Clearly there has to be some middle ground between "24-months/no review" and the "15 years/lets review every excruciating detail over and over again" but China is not necessarily an example we want to follow here.
Listener email from Mary
Another great program.
Please bring Representative McCluskey back for a program about the potential of green infrastructure to revitalize urban landscapes and water quality in the Greater Hartford area.
Note that Connecticut's focus on transportation tends to blot out other issues, such as environmental health. Smart growth advocate marginalize issues/voices that contribute other dimensions - such as the need to build beautiful parks and to address water quality and quanity/flooding issues when building high-density neighborhoods.
People live far outside of urban areas not just because of good schools or safety - people live outside urban areas because an aspiration to live near "nature". This aspiration needs to be addressed in the planning and design of high-density, smart growth (new urbanist) neighborhoods at transportation hubs.
Also note that Springfield is (or was) the headquarters of Peter Pan Buslines. It is evidently no mistake that the train lines were distrupted at this point -- there was a clear business interest. Perhaps a coalition of businesses committed to train commuter service would help move this slow project forward.

Listener email from William
Here's a question for today's show:
The New Haven - Springfield line is called the "Knowledge Corridor"
by many, because it will link up the many research parks and universities and colleges in the wider north-south region. Yet the commuter line will miss Middletown, home of Wesleyan University, one of the state's premier liberal arts institution, and (as Bridgeport Mayor Bill Finch noted on the show yesterday) a very successful small city in its own right with a thriving commercial center (and, I might add, a lively arts and culture scene -- see the Middletown Eye). While many in Middletown welcome the intensification of the commuter rail possibilities in the "Knowledge Corridor", at the same time we fear that we (along with the towns along the southern stretch of the Connecticut River) are going to be bypassed by this important new infrastructure development. Are transit linkages between Middletown (and Middlesex County) with the rest of the state and the region part of the development scenarios that are being discussed in Hartford? And if not, how can we make sure that they are?

I lived in London for 5 years and easily traveled the country by public transportation.. but it wasn't just because they had the rail stations and the rail service. It was because it was seamless... I had ONE pass that let me get to school or work by connecting between bus, train, and light rail as needed. I also had clearly posted schedules, well-lit walkways and sidewalks with pedestrian right-of- way crossings at every point.
They made it easy to say, "it's easier to take the train... driving would just be a hassle."
Thank you for this show!

Listener email from K
Just wanted to mention that while living in Europe in the late 90's I learned that workplaces there opened at 9 and closed at 5 or 5:30 to accommodate travel time and life-balance. I've tried many times to incorporate car-pooling or public transportation into my work-life here but no one works set hours anymore and most offices expect you to be flexible on a day to day basis. Europeans, by having regular hours, also seemed to have more time to go out in the evenings and again, use the rail system to get to the theaters, restaurants or other events... so the rails and light rails were being used all day!
Rail into Bradley airport
Is there a possibility to extend rail directly into the Bradley terminal?
One-seat passage to Bradley airport
People recognize that direct passenger rail into airport terminals is extremely
convenient and is a time-saver. What can we do to bring about a one-seat ticket
into Bradley Airport for passengers on the Springfield - New Haven commuter line?
This together with a rail link along the Waterbury, Bristol, New Britain,
Hartford line would be a great start toward a useful transportation system.
Please make rail service to Bradley Airport!
I am hoping someone who has the power to make this happen sees this. I live in New Haven and I travel a lot. I almost always fly out of New York, largely because I have no car and it is easier and cheaper for me to get to any of the airports in New York than to Bradley. A lot of people I know are in this situation. (There are airport shuttles but they are expensive and have poor service.)
We desparately need decent public transportation between the major cities in Connecticut and Bradley Airport. Why can't a train stop between New Haven and Springfield stop at Bradley? Even better would be if there were public transportation between the major cities and White Plains Airport too. The New York airports are overloaded and the other airports in the region are underutilized. Transportation is a major issue!
I agree with the comment that this would only be a small part of bigger picture. Most companies are not located close to any current rail lines. At least on the shoreline especially in Stamford companies provide shuttle busess. But this only helps employees from large companies. The shoreline has train stations in each town along the way. So this would be a huge undertaking to ever be even remotely as successful as the current train service.

I have recently rushed and just managed to enter two of the Design 21sdn competitions. I'm very happy for the delayed entry time. I was just putting this post out there as I feel that entering a design competition using only four 400x400px images and 300 words is limiting for a design.
For me these competitions are more of a 'concept' competition. Most works of design or projects takes months to complete, yet the initial concept can be created in a flash the design is really in the details.
I look forward to see who wins, and the quailty of the projects. My entry's were very rushed, and even entered some badly hand drawn diagrams. As I work 9-5, exercise, sleep and drink. How do dose everyone find time to enter these things!
Good luck to anyone who entered.

PR Imaging aims to offer you fast and effective service, enabling you to turnaround your products in a matter of weeks, not months. Services include:
Why undermine your images by presenting them in the same albums as everyone else? Check out our Album section for an innovative range of bespoke wedding albums. We offer something mainstream suppliers can't - differentiation. We'll turn your images into art.
Production times average around 4 - 6 weeks if we are designing your photo book album for you. All design work is done in-house so alterations to the initial PDF can sometimes be turned around the same day if requested.
To benefit from faster production times of around 2 - 3 weeks we suggest using our album design software, Architek (TM), allowing you to make instant changes to your clients design once you have provided them with a proof PDF which can be exported from the program. The software can be freely downloaded from your private login area once you have set up a PR Imaging Account.
If you do require an accelerated production time of under two weeks, this may be possible by special arrangement.

Becky Schaefer specialises in dropping modern twists into traditional cross-stitch scenes, in this case the classic pastoral. It takes a few seconds to register the geeky touch, despite the fact that Lara Croft appears packing her traditional steel and short shorts.
Although Lara doesn't number among our favourite female video game characters, it's great to see yet another take on geek chic. I thought at first that this one was a bit more unusal than most, but judging by the SpriteStitch video game cross-stitch blog, there's a lot more of this out there than I had realised.

It's hot and there's nothing to do!
Six crazy punk and roller girls decide to self exploit the cumbia queer side of their personality by means of what they called tropi punk
By the End of 2006 Ali Gua Gua was travelling by bus all the way down from Mexico towards Latin America exploring the Cono Sur. SHE DEVILS were organizing their 8 th Belladona festival of rebel women in Buenos Aires while Juana Chang was on tour playing everywhere she could with her cd "El Camino del Indie"..
They met in the reharsal room, had some beers, and jammed for a couple hours. They felt so good that they knew they were bound to do somehting together.
Ali was firmly in opposition to forming another rocknroll band so she persuaded the bunch to try with cumbia. Ines who is a passionate fan of the style and the keyboardist accepted immediately. Then Juana`s typical good mood, together with Pilar`s determination took the band to the punkest thing they hade ever done in their careers: this spontaneous mix of kumbia with punk rock. They would turn some of their favourite rock songs into kumbia.
KUMBIA KINGS, (the Miami tribute cumbia band to the Gipsy Kings) gave them inspiration for their name, it was clear that Kumbia Queens was no good for KQ who thought QUEER would fit much more into their style and that is how KUMBIA QUEERS came to be.
KUMBIA NENA which is their first LP contains covers of Black Sabbath, The Cure, The Ramones, Madonna, Nancy Sinatra and Bronco plus three original songs by Kumbia Queers. The LP was released in Argentina, Mexico, Chile and Japan!!.
In february 2007 a month after they started the band, Ali returned to her band Ultrasonicas in Mexico and in Buenos Aires the remaining five Kumbia Queers finished the recordings of their debut long play while they collected money from any available place and friend to afford their flights to Mexico where they were bound to meet in June. In July 2007 they played their second show with thousands of people as audience in the closure of the Lgbtttbqi Pride Day on the stage of Zocalo Square in Distrito Federal, Mexico.
From then onwards they came and go from Mexico to Argentina for a couple years then they added Chile to the route and as time went by they included more countries to the list Germany, Belgium, Holland, France, Spain, Sweeden, Denmark, Austria, Italy, Usa, Canada, Colombia, Uruguay and Brazil.
In 2010 vinyl label Comfort Zone (from Austria) released a 10 EP "God Save the Queens" and in 2011 they also put out "Scream Queers at the Kumbia Club" a 7 inch vinyl split with KUMBIA QUEERS and SCREAM CLUB.
During 2011 they released their second long play called "La gran estafa del tropi punk" ("The great tropi punk swindle") produced by Pablo Lescano and with such special guests as Quique Rangel from Café Tacuba, Toy Selectah, Hugo Lobo from Dancing Mood, Flavio Cianciarullo from Los Fabulosos Cadillacs, Mariano Rosatti from Papas ni Pidamos, Carlos Segovia and Victor Torres from Damas Gratis and Lechuga from the local band Lechuga.
KUMBIA QUEERS have taken part in the soundtracks of "Rudo and cursi". "Bala Mordida", the serial "Capadoccia" and the local tv shows "El Puntero" and "Càrceles".
The band has very successfully taken part in many festivals: Vive Latino (México), Fusion (Germany), Rec Beat (Brazil), Pepsi Music (Argentina), Fem fest (Chile), Queertopia (Sweeden), Festival Mundial (The Netherlands), Grito Rock and Vaca Amarela (Brazil).
KUMBIA QUEERS have played in a wide range of places such as jails, public schools, old pensioner houses, graduations, weddings, bars, discos, book fairs, Lgbtttbqi pride parades, feminists meetings, boats, islands, former churches, universities, squats, and a very long etcetera.
At the moment (january 2012) they are producing and recording their third long play.
They still are an independent do-it-yourself band, they have their own record label called Horario Invertido.
KUMBIA QUEERS are
ALI GUA GUA …………………vocals and guiro
JUANA CHANG……………….. vocals and charango
PAT COMBAT ROCKER……… bass
FLOR LINYERA……………….. keyboard
INESPHEKTOR………….………drums and percussion

Fresh from a two week break, Harleston Magpies Ladies are at home tomorrow against Horsham in their latest East Conference fixture (12.30pm).
In their last league fixture Magpies drew 1-1 away against Old Loughtonians in a game they should have won. Magpies were 1-0 down at half-time but Emma Lee-Smith scored the equaliser after the break and further pressure saw Angie Wheelhouse score what appeared to be the winner.
The umpire awarded the goal but then changed his mind following protests from the home team. As a result Magpies lost top spot to Sevenoaks, who they now trail by one point.
After that disappointment it is important for Magpies to put it behind them and get back to winning ways as soon as possible. Matches against Horsham have always been difficult. Last season Horsham recorded a deserved 2-0 home victory and drew the return 1-1 draw in a match where Magpies squandered their chances.
Hayley Toleman returns to the first team squad while Siobhan Cleeve makes her first team league debut for the Magpies.
Squad: Charlotte Harrison (capt), Lucy Miller (vice-capt), Katrina Warnes, Louisa Greenacre, Amy Campbell, Siobhan Cleeve, Debbie Francis, Rosie Butler, Lauren Barber, Sarah Brook, Emily Wilford, Angie Wheelhouse, Hayley Toleman, Emma Lee-Smith.

This is a metal or plastic coin, identical to the ancient japanese coin called Kan'ei Tsuho. The description on the both sides of the coin is "Japan" (above) and "I´m with you" (below). This accessory may have several uses: necklace, bracelet, key chain accessory or even hanger on the car rearview mirror, etc.
It works as follows : People open the envelope and pulls out the white card with the coin glued to the center, mimicking a Japanese flag at first sight.
Moored at the bottom of the card, the rope will serve multiple purposes. Make a necklace, bracelet, etc.. These instructions will be in the back of the card.
It is low cost, representative, symbolic and very fashionable.
