Thought I would start a Thailand thread
Dh and our two boys (7) and (3) are heading to Thailand for 10 days in September. Its our first trip there. We will be staying at the Centara Kata Resort, which has pretty good reviews. We dont really have a huge lot planned apart from a pi pi island tour and to take the kids to the water park.
Anyone else have any great ideas of things to do/see?
Posted 13 June 2012 - 07:56 PM
I'm going in September with my DH and our four year old twins.
Someone responded to a thread I started looking for info about Malaysia a posting a link to a blog http://www.ourtravellifestyle.com/travel-d...ow-in-thailand/
Which is pretty sensational. (thank you Bron)
I'm looking forward to it too- we are flying into Bangkok and then travelling down through Malaysia to Singapore. Can't wait.
Last time I was there was about ten years ago, DH was still a vegetarian! He eats meat and fish now and cant wait to go and start eating!

We have been to Phuket in the past, 1.5 years ago.
Bangkok late 2010 (unscheduled kind of side trip from Cambodia)
We head to Chiang Mai in northern Thailand in 24 days time...for 3 weeks...
Cannot wait!
We travel as a family of 5 for the first time! We travel with our son who uses a wheelchair , our soon to be 4 year old and our baby x
Wishing you both fantastic adventures!

Just over 3 weeks til we go to Thailand, can't wait. The boys are both so excited about going on a plane, and of course dino golf Ashton only wants to go to Thailand for the Dino golf. I hope its as fun as he is anticipating! LOL!!

We've been to Thailand a couple of times, we stayed at Karon beach (just near Kata) not long ago... I recommend seeing the sunset from the beach, and the Phuket Town night markets. The markets only run on weekend nights, and there's a great mix of tourists and locals. There are all sorts of stalls with clothes, food, bags etc etc. Its an awesome atmosphere, and something I wouldn't miss!
Posted 28 August 2012 - 06:38 PM
I haven't been, yet! Booked for 10 days at the start of March. Will be heading to Phuket with out DD. Bit excited!
Will be following this thread.

Many places in Thailand to visit and enjoy your holidays in Thailand.
Posted 28 August 2012 - 08:51 PM
We are heading to Thailand in just over 3 weeks too and it will be our first time. We are going to Fantasea and on an elephant ride as it was part of the hotel package but I've been told that Fantasea is well worth it by a couple of people.
Missmousie - DH was only asking me last night if there would be any night markets so glad there are some worth going to.
We are getting quite excited now! I was just googling where to get some Thai Baht from as I think I read somewhere Australia Post were meant to be ok with exchange rates but I'm not sure......... The only thing I am not looking forward to is the long flight there but the holiday at the end should be worth it

Get some thai baht at a Thai ATM. there are plenty at the airport and you get a better rate there rather than here.
Posted 29 August 2012 - 07:32 AM
We love Thailand and went again in April this year.
We have been 7 times and explored heaps. The people and the food are awesome.
Definately wait until you are in Thailand to change money over. There are heaps after you go through customs and they offer good rates.
Have fun

3 weeks today
The only tour we have booked is Phi Phi Island - my sister is a travel agent and she suggested it. Apart from that we will probably just see what happens day to day. Ive only got 10 more shifts at work which is awesome as I havent had any annual leave since going to Bali in September last year.
Pulled the suitcases out of the shed this morning. Need to give them a good wipe over and then organise what we are going to take with us.
Posted 29 August 2012 - 12:47 PM
Thanks for the currency suggestions
I've started getting my girls to try on last summer's clothes so I know what fits and what I might need to buy before we go. So excited!

I definitely agree with this. We have been to Thailand a number of times and have never taken any currency with us. I just withdraw from an ATM - they are everywhere. I normally have abut AUD$500 in case of an emergency and then if I haven't used it, spend it when I get home!
Posted 29 August 2012 - 08:13 PM
*Mrs Puddles* - great information - thank you! I told my girls earlier you have to pay to pee and they nearly wet themselves laughing
How much spending money approximately do you normally take? We've only been overseas once with the children and that was last year to Fiji and we didn't need all that much since most tours etc were through the resort so we paid with the credit card or had it charged to our room. I'm presuming we are going to use more cash this time with the markets/shopping type stuff etc.
Posted 29 August 2012 - 08:16 PM
Is breakfast included at your resort? I always go the included breakfast option! We then normally eat a mix of street / market food and resort food. I tend to budget about AUD$100 but our kids are still tiny.

We just allow for $80-$100 Australian a day in our accounts. How much you spend will depend on how western you eat, and how much is covered by your resort. We carry about $100 just in case we get caught out, other than that its ATMs all the way- you will need to check if you want to island hop.
Posted 29 August 2012 - 08:27 PM
Thank you. Yes, breakfast is included. My girls are 9, 7 and 3.
Posted 29 August 2012 - 08:42 PM
Hi, we just returned from our holiday staying in Patong at the Holiday Inn. It was amazing! I have a 7yo and 2yo and have lots of tips - definitely check the tripadvisor Phuket forum which was brilliant.
One big tip is that this trip was very different to my experiences there without kids - so there are some places I wouldn't go with kids that I would have before.
If you have specific questions please feel free to pm me and I will help as much as I can.
Posted 29 August 2012 - 08:51 PM
We love Thailand too, honeymooned there 13 years ago and have been back twice since. Definately do Fantasea, and book a few days ahead, despite what people say it is good to get seats in the front section A, B and C from memory, we were in Row W last time and it was ok, but not as good as the first time when we were in Row G, be aware that they confiscate you camera's before you go into the auditorium as they have photo ops with baby elephants and tigers which are about 15-20. Camera's are completely safe (and this is coming from a self confessed camera lover) they hand you an id tag and you pick it up at the end, is worth having the camera for taking pics around the park, and if you can eat before you go you can get dinner included but it is just a buffet and prob not worth the extra money.
We have stayed in Patong and Karon Beach and enjoyed both, be aware that you will also have to pay for a seat and umbrella on the beach about 5.00 is the norm from memory.
We also did a day trip with a driver cost about 50.00 and went to the Big Budha, Wat Chalong temples (which I loved) and the Chalong Elephant rides (they will pickup if at Karon and Kata and drop you back for no extra charge) is about 40.00 per adult for about 1/2 hr, our kids loved it.
The last time we did a boat day trip with our 8 and 5 yo to Phi Phi Island, Kai Island, Maya Beach and Monkey Island - whilst it was great to see so much in one day it was probably too much to cram into one day, but it was lots of fun.
Another good hint too is to go into the family marts as they have fresh yogurt and premade sandwiches as well as icepoles and soft drinks and were great to have a quick cheap lunch or snacks.
If it rains and you are in Phuket, then Junceylon is the big shopping centre which has a theatre and bowling alley, is alot like Westfield with lots of big shops, good cosmetics and supermarkets, good if you want to get out of the heat for a while and if you are looking for something in particular that you might have forgotten, there is also a Boots Pharmacy there as well which is good.
Make sure you get a massage, in Karon Beach there were a number of off the street ladies who were about 8.00 for a 1 hr massage and they were pretty good, my daughter had her waist length hair braided for 10.00 which was awesome as it takes about 1.5 hrs. Also found a great dayspa the last time which was not as flash as the big hotels but really good called Body@Soul at Karon Beach, they pick up from local hotels and drop back, I had a full body scrub and massage took about 1.5 hrs for 40.00 (this was also negotiable depending on how many people.
I also love the shopping for the kids and hubby, not so much for me as I was too big for alot of stuff as i am a size 12au but it didn't stop me buying handbags and sunnies.
Hope that helps,
Posted 30 August 2012 - 07:39 AM
For Thailand we normally budget $100-$120 per day but if you plan on drinking alchohol double it.
Food is cheap, shopping is cheap, massages are cheap.
I love the place!
Have fun
Posted 30 August 2012 - 07:07 PM
Wow, some great info here - thanks everyone
I have been on trip advisor sooo much! Ive been tossing up whether to book a fantasea show. Did you all book that there or before you went? How much per person approx?
Posted 30 August 2012 - 09:14 PM
Book over there. If you are booking several tours at the one tour agent then you will get a really good discount. No-one sells Fantasea tickets cheap - they are the same price everywhere and I think this is on their website, however as we were booking multiple tours at the same time, we were given free transfers from our hotel to
Big Budha is worth a visit - it's at the top of a mountain and there are several elephant trekking companies, ATV / buggy tours along the same road. If you don't want to trek on an elephant there are a couple of trekking companies who have baby elephants out on the road. You can stop and buy a basket of bananas to feed them and get some great photos.
A visit to a temple is also worthwhile. If you get stuck for ideas with kids there is always the Phuket zoo. I heard mixed responses about the zoo. It certainly isn't to the standard of an Aussie zoo and I'm sure the tiger you can pat was doped to the eyeballs but my DS loved it along with the photo opportunities (they all cost extra) with monkeys, birds, elephants, tiger etc.
One word of advice - make sure you have travel insurance. My DD who was 7 months when we went in May, ended up extremely dehydrated and in hospital for a day and a half. We have never used any kind of travel insurance before and while we would have paid anything to get her better, it was comforting knowing that all her medical requirements were taken care of regardless of cost.
Enjoy your holiday.
Posted 30 August 2012 - 09:50 PM
One extra thing, if you are looking to hire a driver for the day, I can highly recommend Panya. He can organise airport transfers, day tours and just general transport. You can check out his reviews on tripadvisor forum - he is lovely, knowledgable and has great English.
His contact details are email@example.com

One week to go!
Not very organised yet by we are spending five days n Bangkok before heading to Samui, then a flight from Surat to kuala lumpur and then train to Singapore before flying home. We ave had a little trouble remembering web are not backpacking and ant catch trains that leave at one nt he morning with two four year olds as company!!
So excited, one week to go!
Posted 02 September 2012 - 11:05 PM
Re Fantasea, you would be better to buy when over there just book a few days before you want to go. Most of our ticket prices also included transport which is normally an airconditioned minibus.
We did Phuket Zoo on our first trip with the kids, it is definately not like any AU zoo's, but the kids seemed to like it, there was a photo op with the tiger (we chose not to do this) as it is chained up and it made me sad, but the elephant show was good and so was the monkey show. From memory it was about 12.00 pp converted.
For elephant rides we used:http://www.kokchangsafari.com/
they had great clean facilities and the elephants looked well cared for unlike some of the others we saw - if you decide to do it. You can also just go in and feed the elephants at no charge (maybe small one for the banana's).
Enjoy your trip we loved it, and looks like we are going back again next year as my sister has just decided to get married here: http://www.katathani.com/
Enjoy your trips ladies!

Monetary Policy, Capital Inflows, And The Housing Boom
Free registration required
Executive Summary
The authors estimate an open economy VAR model to quantify the effect of monetary policy and capital inflows shocks on the US housing market. The shocks are identified with sign restrictions derived from a standard DSGE model. They find that monetary policy shocks have a limited effect on house prices and residential investment. In contrast, capital inflows shocks driven by an increase in foreign savings have a positive and persistent effect on both housing variables. Other sources of capital inflows shocks, such as foreign monetary expansion or an increase in aggregate demand in the US, have a more limited role.

Muqueam Updates
- THE TOURNAMENT START TIME HAS BEEN MOVED TO 8:30 AM to ensure maximization of daylight. Check-in will start around 7:20 AM, and the players meeting will begin at 8:00 AM.
- THE FIELD SIZE WILL REMAIN FIRM AT 72 PLAYERS, again due to daylight. If any registered players withdraw before registration officially closes on Thursday, David Cowley will contact waitlisted players in the order they registered. Although unlikely, if there are any no-shows on tournament day, spots will be given to any waitlisted players at the course in the order they registered.
- The course map has been posted. In addition, each hole will have an Illustrator created hole description sign on the course with visuals and information on recommended routes and potential hazards.
- Gumboots or equivalent are highly recommended. The course is wet, and there is casual water in some areas. The forecast for Saturday is "light rain", so we should all collectively pray for sun.
- Depending on the length of the first round, the lunch break could be short, so packing a lunch is recommended. I will be providing water and snacks. If you feel there is time to grab food at lunch, there is an IGA on 41st and Dunbar, which is about 1.6 km away from the course. I leave that decision to you.
- There is technically a road closure for water-main repair on Dunbar, between 50th Avenue and 51st Avenue, and 51st Avenue, between Dunbar and the course entrance, but you can still get to the course via this route, as construction is limited to weekdays. The road is bumpy and single file, so drive with caution. Salish Drive provides an alternate route to get to the course. Check on Google Maps.
- You can look forward to some great prizes and added cash.

'R.I.P.D.' Star Jeff Bridges Says Universal 'Made Choices I Wouldn't Have Made'
Universal suffered a rare misfire in a year of hits when it released R.I.P.D. in July.
The film, which cost $130 million to produce, has made only $68.1 million so far and has a 14 percent freshness rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
But according to Jeff Bridges, who starred alongside Ryan Reynolds in the film about dead police officers fighting evil spirits, the movie that hit theaters wasn't the same as the one he thought he had made.
"I had such a great time working on that movie," Bridges tells GQ in its October cover story. "I remember what we were doing. I thought: This could be fun to see. And when I saw it, I was a little underwhelmed. For my mind, the studio made some, uh, choices that I wouldn't have made."

But Bridges isn't too upset about the film's lackluster box-office performance.
"It's kind of fun when the movie's coming out. It's like having a horse in the race. And they're lining up, and they're off! And you're rooting for your horse. And in this case, the jockey fell off the horse and you came in last. Ha ha ha. You know. That happens sometimes," he adds.
Bridges' Zen-like attitude and inability to get hung up on the small details features prominently in the profile, in which he takes the writer to breakfast at a small cafe in Encinitas, Calif., and along for a gig by his band, the Abiders.
Universal declined to comment on Bridges' remarks to GQ.

can small chips on crystal be filed down?
I have some 25+ year old Mikasa crystal wine glasses. They're neither antique nor valuable, but I like them. I'd like to be able to use them for entertaining, but I don't have enough left without small chips at the edge of the bowl. The crystal is very thin on these, and they chipped easily. I'm trying to see if I can just get more at Replacements.com, but if not, is there a file of some kind you can use to just smooth out the edge a little? Is this something only a pro should attempt?
Yes....I have never done it....but I know you can take them "somewhere" and have the chip filed off.
When you are looking to buy a "set" of antique crystal goblets....always line them up to see if they ae the same height....many times one or 2 will have been ground down 1/4 inch or so to eliminate chips.
I have heard of people doing it themselves with wet garnet sand paper.
I've used wet & dry sandpaper(it's dark grey/black color) & wet it or some emeryboards(not metal ones) that are very fine work well as you can gently pull back & forth until smooth. I live in earthquake country so that is how we handle saving our treasures from the trash can. That way you can use some lightly damaged things or at least not cut your fingers on grandma's 100 yr old family treasure.
Thanks, Sunnyca. You mean like nail emeryboards? I have those around anyway.
Wow, I never thought of that advantage of living in a snow zone instead of an earthquake zone. A blizzard that leaves 3 ft of snow is a pain, but it's never broken any of my glasses. That's part of the difference between an inconvenience and a disaster, I guess.
Hope you stay earthquake-free.
Well, there is the point that while you may or may not have a quake in a given year, snow is guaranteed for me every winter. Unless we don't do anything about global warming. Then Upstate NY will become a tropical zone, and we can scrap our snowblower.
This is it.
Here is a link that might be useful: crystal file on Amazon
Ginny, Yes you can use a regular cardboard ?? file but I had some I got at beauty supply that have a foam core in center & then 1 side is very fine & other is rougher, I use them to file off rough edge on painting projects or between coats on small projects. Mine are 7 in. long & 3/4 in wide but a narrower 1 works best on glass rims. I will take earthquakes any day over floods & 10 ft of snow. I remember walking home from babysitting with huge walls of snow on both sides of road & in spring a couple of times the lake flooded & we rowed down to elderly neighbor lady to take her food & check on her. We passed food to her through a window. Our house was much higher but when I was at college that spring had a nasty storm that took out 1/3 of our front yard. My dad got discarded bedsprings & other huge pieces of metal & made a wall to hold the rest of yard & then covered it with graduated concrete, soil & stone down to lake. I had nightmares until they moved out here.
I have used that crystal file on several old kitchenware glass baking dishes and old depression to smooth the chips out. It takes the sharpess out of the chip.

Upright Freezer- Manual or Defrost?
I may need a new freezer and am having a hard time deciding if I want to get another manual defrost.
I know, for many of you this is a moot point! Who wants to defrost a freezer?
But I have always read that manual defrost keeps food so much longer and fresher than constantly having the temperature fluctuating.
Now, however, I am reading this is not true. That upright manuals are not better - that it is only the chest type (not an option) that work much better.
Any thoughts to help me decide?
I do not have a food saver and and I don't harvest anything or buy sides of beef, etc.
It seems like I throw a lot of stuff out because of ice crystals but that might be because my freezer is off kilter.
Not an expert on freezers but am a little surprised that there are even manual ones around any more!?! I DO know that "scientifically" chest freezers are more efficient than uprights. Every time you open the door to an upright (that includes refrigerators), the cold air just falls out on the floor. The whole fact that heat rises.
Had a spare, 2nd hand fridge/freezer for a while. Defrosting freezer was not one of my favorite chores.
I'd love to have a frost-free....but my manual one just
ate defrosting and use my food up pretty quickly so length of time is less of a concern. Might choose to use the vacuum sealer more if ice crystals became a problem.
I didn't like using my foodsaver so I freeze food a different way which would help you with the ice crystals if you want to get a self-defrosting freezer.
I take all meats and tightly wrap them in plastic wrap before inserting them into freezer bags. I have found that I can keep it much better and longer this way. You could adapt that method with items other than meat also.
I do save sides of beef, etc., so my needs are somewhat different than yours. I have a manual defrost chest type which keeps meat longer and holds more in sheer pounds.
However, auto defrosts cycle on and off, that's how they work. So, if you have things stored for a while, and they've gone through a couple of cycles, they have thawed a bit, then frozen, then thawed, then frozen. They are still perfectly safe, but the quality suffers.
The question is, do you keep enough food for long enough periods to make up for the job of manually defrosting. Only you can decide that.
Or prevent forest fires. Oops, sorry, I was channelling Smokey the Bear there for a minute. Remember, "only you can prevent.....". Oh, never mind. LOL.
Defrosting is a pain, but I think it's a design fault (at least on our 25 year old dinosaur. The drain comes out the bottom and you can't even raise it enuf to drain in a shallow pan (jut backs up inside).... It's on the floor which I pad with dirty towels which go into the washer next to it. I try to get as much frost as possible in big chunks which also melt nicely when you turn the hot water on to wash the towels.
It doesn't keep food as well as my Dad's very old chest, but does keep it a lot better than our side by side upstairs.
We bought a new freezer for the church about a year ago. It's manual defrost....but it has a defrost cycle and it heats and melts a lot of build up in about an hour.
Non-frost free freezers keep freezer burn away lots longer than frost free does.
How often do you have to defrost? Once a year? put the freezer stuff in coolers and open the door, fill a couple of big pans with hot water and aim an electric fan into the freezer. It's done very quickly!
And...manual are cheaper to run.
Linda C
Now, however, I am reading this is not true. That upright manuals are not better - that it is only the chest type (not an option) that work much better.
Bumblebeez, could you expand on that? I get the whole "cold air goes down" thing making chest freezers preferable, but while it's closed and cold, a sealed box is a sealed box, no? Why are "they" now saying manual isn't better for uprights?
I did not know before that only chest types were recommended by "experts" for manual defrost.
Anyway, I'm here for the GW expert advice!
From a review on freezers
"In general, our research shows that upright freezers offer the best performance. Most models have a self-defrosting feature, so users don't need to defrost by hand. Manual-defrost upright freezers exist, but they're not recommended by experts. Without the fan present in self-defrosting but not manual-defrost freezers, uprights often struggle to maintain a consistent temperature, which can cause food to thaw and spoil over time. Uprights also tend to cost more than chest freezers.
I would never buy a manual defrost. JMO. My upright frost-free is as old as the hills, don't remember when it was purchased and I shudder to think about the day when it has to be replaced. I don't have coolers big enough to hold all that stuff. It would force me to clean it out though.LOL
Food does keep much longer in a manual defrost freezer. For that reason, I wouldn't consider a frost free one. Think about how quickly items freezer burn in the (frost free) refrigerator freezer.
Anyway, I have a manual defrost chest freezer and defrost approx. once a year. I suspect that upright might need to be defrosted more often but don't know that for sure. How often you have to defrost is going to depend a lot on how often you get into the freezer. But if you're throwing out a lot of food now because of ice crystals & you have a manual defrost, you're for sure going to be throwing out a lot more w/ a frost-free model. IMO.
I don't have a freezer, so I have no practical user experience.
However, I am curious about freezers, so I think about it once in a while. I have not found a lot of scientific studies or comparisons on the various aspects of freezers.
Just some random thoughts:
I cannot understand how a manual defrost freezer can be better, or more efficient than a frost-free type. Ice and frost is a fairly good insulator (think igloo), once the cooling coils are covered with ice, you basically lose your heat transfer efficiency completely.
This is important because most freezers use capillary type of mechanical thermostats to control the compressor. This type of thermostats have great limitations. They have low resolution and they have low response time. In other words, they only react to temperature swings from 10 to 20 degrees and it takes a long time for them to sense the 10 to 20 degrees change in temperature. In a non-forced air type of freezer, you will have a big problem of very uneven temperature control.
It is never easy to defrost a freezer. It takes a lot of work and time, even if you are doing it once or twice a year, depending on your humidity, how you package your food and how often you open up the freezer. Each time you do it, it can take one to two hours to have your frozen food exposed to room temperature, or get yourself a big ice box.
It is a very good thing to get a freezer with outside condensing coils. You will get almost free cooling in the winter time, and you don't have to waste money to run your air conditioner to cool the 300 watts to 1,000 watts of heat to run the freezer.
Regarding freezer burn, it is a good thing and it is a bad thing.
When a freezer works well, freezer burn occurs quicker and easier, and the opposite is true.
You will need to package your food very well in a good freezer. And only a good freezer can accomplish the recommended 0 degree F evenly, accurately and quickly.
I have an upright auto defrost freezer. It works very well and keeps all my food frozen. I can't use a chest freezer because I am only 4 ft 10 inces tall and it is just too difficult and I can't reach the bottom. I would never buy a manual freezer. Just my experience. Just weigh all your options and then make the decision best for you!
Ho Hum!
Food does keep much longer in a manual defrost freezer. For that reason, I wouldn't consider a frost free one. Think about how quickly items freezer burn in the (frost free) refrigerator freezer
This has been my guiding rule on freezers so far. We have two refrigerators and I do not use the freezer parts at all except for ice and an occasional something.
Food does indeed go bad faster in them I am sure of that.
I also can cram most of the freezer food into these two while I defrost the big one- which, physically and mentally, isn't that big a deal. Not fun, but neither is cutting the grass and I do lots of that too.
I will probably let dh make the decision unless I hear from someone how great the frost free type is for their food. The consensus seems to be no one wants to defrost one, that I understand, but I am willing to do that.
ghoghunter, I'm 5'1" and Elery gets a big charge out of seeing me lean over the edge of the freezer with my feet up in the air, standing on my head to retrieve something from the bottom of that chest freezer.
Still, it holds and entire half a beef and a whole pig, and an upright just doesn't have the sheer storage capacity, so it's a chest freezer for me and Elery gets a lot of entertainment value so it's all good, LOL.
I've definitely got to defrost after Amanda's wedding and before we put a pig in there!
I have had both and by far and away my manual upright is the best freezer I've ever had. It's a very large freezer and I only defrost it about twice a year. The difference in the quality of the frozen goods is very noticeable to me.
Defrosting isn't that big a deal, at least to me. I put all the food in coolers, place a fan in the freezer, place the hose in a plastic basin. I coax some of the ice mass along as it thaws and it's all done within an hour or so.
I've had both frost free and manual defrost freezers. I now only own manual defrost and wouldn't own a frost free again. (Of coarse, my refrigerator has frost free freezer, but not by choice, so I only keep ice cubes in there). There is a VERY noticeable difference in the quality of the food.
I can and freeze food and cook from scratch. I have both a manual defrost chest freezer and a manual defrost up right. I use the upright for leftovers and anything I want to get to quickly and easily. The chest freezer is for longer term storage such as fruits I have frozen and sides of beef, etc. Even home made ice cream keeps quite a while in these manual freezers.
The fact that the frost free freezers continually heat themselves up in order to melt ice ruins the quality of food. No matter what the manufacturers want to tell you, your food heats up and re-freezes as well.
To me it is not that big a deal to defrost the freezers once in a while. It is a simple process, and I use up food in one to the point where it is easy to store the rest in another freezer until I'm done defrosting. It's no more of a chore than having to do your laundry or wash dishes. Not sure why everything has to be so "effortless" any way, especially when it comes to food quality.
We just bought a new chest freezer cuz our upright has problems. Its gasket is bad so it needs defrosted monthly. I scrape the ice so I don't have to defrost it so often, not fun either way. The chest is to hold some beef, elk, garden veggies and fruit. It wont be opened very often. The items we use often will be kept in the upright. The chest has a power on light so you know its working...its sooo quiet. It was on sale and we get 10 bucks back from the power company cuz its an energy star. Most chests are manual defrost and one review (dont remember which brand)said they defrosted theirs only once in 4 yrs.
I forgot to mention that my chest freezer is a Whirlpool that I bought a few years ago, and it has worked well. Stays nice and cold. The newest one (the upright manual) is a large 20 cubic ft. Frigidaire, and it has been absolutely excellent. I put my husband's engineering thermometer in there and the temps stay nice and cold, as well as steady.
I'm another manual type.
The big thing with any freezer is, as you empty them, you freeze air. So every time you open it up moist air enters, you take your package and close the door. Repeat. That is lots of moist air changes which now sit as a void in the freezer.
The ice and frost build up you see is the result of all that.
we keep paper grocery bags filled with newspapers and taped together. So fill a grocery sack with newspaper and slip that into a second sack the other way, so no newspaper is exposed. Masking tape it shut.
Anytime we create enough room in the freezer we place another paper "brick" inside. These get placed to the back in uprights or to the bottom in chest freezers so your food is always reachable.
Anyway, long story short, our upright is at least five years old, manual, and we have never defrosted it. Doesn't need it.
Our chest freezer was moved here over 10 years ago and if I recall correctly we have defrosted it once.
Keep them full for max efficiency, works for me. Food or newspaper bricks, the mechanics of the process don't know the difference.
I have an upright and a chest freezer and they are both manual defrost. I hate defrosting, but it only takes me three or four hours for both of them and I do it in May, June or July, before the garden starts producing. The chest freezer is easier to defrost, but the upright is easier to see what you have.
Manual chest here too. I think we had a discussion about this a while ago and like some have said here, many of us have never or infrequently defrosted ours. My latest is about 5 years old and I haven't had to defrost it yet. It doesn't usually get too empty but as/if it does I put half/gallons of ice in it. A few times there was some buildup right at the top but I just scraped it down/off. In these years there is still very little loose frost in it. I might clean it out this winter or end of winter. I get to the bottom of it frequently and rotate things so things don't really get lost. I have kept things much longer in there than you'd think and had little problems with freezer burn or deterioration.
Annie, Christy says she is 5' and I must admit her digging in the freezer is one of my pleasures. When she goes out to the room it's in by herself, I always keep track and tell her I'll come rescue her if it's more than ten minutes. Smiles.
"I cannot understand how a manual defrost freezer can be better, or more efficient than a frost-free type."
Better is a matter of opinion, but efficient is not. Look at the cost of operation of comparable sized units and you'll see which is more efficient. Running a defroster costs, ergo, less efficient.
"It is never easy to defrost a freezer."
Again, it's relatively speaking and an opinion so it's hard to address, but when I had my manual defrost upright freezer going I'd defrost maybe every two years. I didn't like doing it, wasn't a favorite job, but it was easy. Pull the stuff. I'd do it in the winter when it was good and cold so I'd just put the stuff in totes or coolers in the garage. Simple. Unplug the freezer. Simple. Open the door and start a fan blowing. How much simpler can things get? I'd get impatient with it so I'd take a hair dryer and get the big chunks, give it a quick wash down, which was optional but simply spray and wipe and plug it back in. Sounds much more complex than it was in reality. Some chores are simple but still not popular. This is one of them. Now really, is this truly "a lot of work"? Hardly. A lot of time? No. And I speak from having owned one and done it.
And I was very happy I had an upright rather than a chest. I've seen all the digging to the bottom of a chest freezer, and defrosting them were far more difficult than upright.
A self-defrost freezer would be nicer in the one way, but you *do* pay a price for it. If you have a big family and go through a *lot* of food, for instance nothing is in there more than a month, then a self defroster would be good. But for longer term storage, it's no different than the unit on your refrigerator and most everyone agrees that's not the optimal freezing unit.
dcarch, I assume you're saying keep a freezer in a cold garage. Well this is not recommended by the manufacturers and common sense says that what you might gain in the winter would be lost in the summer heat in that garage. Most all garages, unless air-conditioned are much hotter than the house in the summer and therefore the freezer will run much more. And if it's got a/c, it's proably heated too so there goes your theory of free cooling. And I have to disagree. I don't see freezer burn as ever being a good thing!
Again, I don't have a freezer, therefore my statements are just based on my understanding of how things generally work. Also, I am not saying that a manual freezer is a lousy freezer.
I can understand a self-defrost may not be as efficient because it uses a heating system inside to defrost regularly and there is a fan to circulate cold air. Also, I think a manual defrost most likely will need thicker insulation because it can't even out inside temperature as well, while a self-defrost will uses thinner insulation to give you more storage, which is a good selling point. However, some of this lack of efficiency is balanced out when you manually defrost a freezer, because you need a lot of energy to melt the ice and re-cool the entire freezer again and all the food that's been out for an hour or so. thinner insulation can give you around two cubic feet more of storage.
"----dcarch, I assume you're saying keep a freezer in a cold garage.------"
Actually I am talking about a split system. The condensing coil is installed outside of the house. This system gives you bonus cooling in the winter and will not heat up your house in the summer. The basic mechanics of a refrigeration cycle, just like an air conditioner, it is most efficient when you don't really need it.
"----I don't see freezer burn as ever being a good thing!-----"
Of course not. What I was trying to say was that a self-defrost freezer uses forced cold air and that can mean faster freezer burn if you don't package your food well; however, it is a good thing because the food get frozen much quicker. The quicker the food gets frozen, the smaller the ice crystals will form inside your food (less cell membrane damage), which may mean better quality food (similar to flash freezing).
One of the main advantages of a frost free unit, besides convenience is its ability to keep recommended temperature quickly and evenly throughout the inside. The thermostat typically used in a freezer is of the capillary type. This kind of thermostat will take anywhere from 10 to 20 degrees F from the set temperature to turn the compressor on and off. This deviation from 0 degree F in an unevenly cooled freezer can mean a less than ideal storage environment for food.
This condition gets worst when ice is formed on the freezer walls because ice is a relatively good insulator.
son just bought a chest freezer x Sears & was told no chest freezer is frost free any more... they are manual defrost (true?)! We just bought a new upright: roll-out freezer on bottom, 2-door refr. on top & really like it as the 'side-by-side' I 'just had to have'some years ago was so unhandy: ref. side too narrow as was the freezer side!! We also have a small upright freezer in the garage as well as a 18 ft. regular top freezer, bottom single door refr. so all are self defrosting but I see no problem with the food stored in them. My gripe is that most of the units have the controls way in the back of the refr. or freezer & a pain if for any reason you have to adjust the temps.!! Makes no sense but one sales person said it was to 'keep you from adjusting the temps. as they were set at the factory for correct temps.' ??
I have a garage apart from my home, this is where we keep our freezer. During the summer months it gets very hot and our frost free upright, even though it continues to run will not keep the food frozen. The sales person at sears told us we needed a manual defrost to work properly in a warm invironment. I hear chest are better for manual defrost but that just won't fly with my wife so I base my questions on upright freezers only.

Financial Policy Analysis
NREL's financial policy analysis team examines the effects that policy has on renewable energy project financing and development. They look at how policies such as feed-in tariffs, clean renewable energy bonds, and power purchase agreements can shape the pace and structure of financing. For more on NREL's analysis of these policies, access the information below.
Key Analyses for 2015
Next Generation of Renewable Electricity Policy
A number of policies have been used historically in order to stimulate the growth of the renewable electricity sector. This paper Next Generation of Renewable Electricity Policy: How Rapid Change is Breaking Down Conventional Policy Categories examines four of these policy instruments: competitive tendering, sometimes called renewable electricity auctions, feed-in tariffs, net metering and net billing, and tradable renewable energy certificates. In recent years, however, a number of changes to both market circumstances and to policy priorities have resulted in numerous policy innovations, including the emergence of policy hybrids. With no common language for these evolving policy mechanisms, policymakers have generally continued to use the same traditional policy labels, occasionally generating confusion as many of these new policies no longer look, or act, like their traditional predecessors. In reviewing these changes, this paper makes two separate but related claims: first, policy labels themselves are breaking down and evolving. As a result, policy comparisons that rely on the conventional labels may no longer be appropriate, or advisable. Second, as policymakers continue to adapt, we are in effect witnessing the emergence of the next generation of renewable electricity policies, a change that could have significant impacts on investment, as well as on market growth in both developed and developing countries.

|Reviews for Rhythm of the Rain
| Guest chapter 25 . 2/17
Wooo such a good story! I did throw my phone around a few times from frustration and excitement (may have gotten a bit to caught up in it). All up I would definitely recommend it to zutara fans!
| Elf10444 chapter 5 . 1/29
I am only four chapters into this story and I love it (in a weird way where it makes me sad and happy at the same time). I have not stopped bawling my eyes out since I started reading it and i think that is a compliment to your writing or an insult to my sanity.( either option is just as likely so take your pick :) ) I just thought you might want to know. I can't wait to keep reading.
| KorpaKejsilic chapter 25 . 1/25
A really good story. Great interactions and plots and good use of so many characters.
However I thought it was really OOC that Katara would sleep with Zuko before they got married, especially when he was still engaged. For Zuko it would be the epitome of dishonour. He would at least have broken it off with Mai first. For Katara it would be causing hurt to some innocent person (Mai). Katara would do all she could to not hurt someone so badly.
As for Sokka, not sure how he could stay with Suki who treats him like a child and doesn't trust him. If she trusted him, he would have stopped that stable scandal and we could have cut 10 chapters from the story and they would have lived happily ever after. Instead Suki just knocks him out. Sokka respects Suki but she doesn't respect him. That would get old pretty quickly. I don't give them much chance of a long happy marriage.
| ilufmanga chapter 13 . 1/1
So heartbreaking... T.T
So beautiful...
Love, it is...
| LittleMissAbigail chapter 25 . 12/24/2014
This was wonderful! I loved this Zutara fic! Most that I've read have followed the canon so I loved getting to see a different way for things to play out. The fact that Jet and Haru were major components made it. As a full time college student with a full time job, I haven't had much time for reading so fanfic has sucked me in. I've gotten so used to angst/fluffy things that I devour in two to three hours that I'd forgotten the pull of a story that takes days to read. I've been in torment but I'm incredibly sad it's over. As perfect of a place that was to end it, I'm disappointed we didn't get a glimpse of her adjustment into being Fire Lady, wife, and mother. Thank you so much for sharing!
| Oblvionxx chapter 25 . 12/15/2014
Wow... this was FANTASTIIIIC. Best. Fic. Ever. I applaud thee... i loved every bit of it. Axula's plot was perfect and so very much like her it was almost canon. And the battle was so nervewracking sheesh... and Mai was the one to save Katara?! Perf! And Sokka's proposal before that was sooooo cuuuuute agh:3 and Zuko's was humble yet soo romantic i love what you did with this fic. And now they're having a kid?! Awesome. I wish i knew what gender it was. And also why do i get the feeling Ty Lee and Jet might be a little more than just acquaintances? ;) i actually think they'd be a cute couple :P
| Oblvionxx chapter 14 . 12/15/2014
What are you doiiiiiing... my heart just exploded. I love you i hate you i love you i hate you OH THE FEELS. i absolutely adore this fic and despise it at the same time. I live your portrayal of the characters. Your Zuko is amaziiiing...i want him. Pls pls give him to meeh
| Oblvionxx chapter 8 . 12/15/2014
Aiiie dis right here is my faave.
I sound like a crazy person xP well that's what you get for reading badass zutara fics all day. Jesus this is good... so good it makes me want to bash it so hard to get rid of all the feeeelsss... just so you know.. I'm kinda sorta crying now. So.. feel bad. You're too good of a writer. Waay to good. Sniff. Too good...
| Oblvionxx chapter 3 . 12/15/2014
Ahhhhhh painful! Too painful! Ackk my feels! What have you DONE you amazing author, you. YES YOU. you've killed my feels you know, with all this fantastic zutaraness. I only hope it gets better. Can't have you kill my feels and get to bury them as well.
And if it doesn't get better...well I'm burying you -.-
| lili chapter 25 . 12/7/2014
I love this story awesome work.
| Aiedail4eva chapter 1 . 11/30/2014
This is soooo good already! :)
| noalofa chapter 25 . 10/28/2014
Oh my god I love this story so much wow this is amazing
| Guest chapter 8 . 10/17/2014
This chapter seriously broke my heart... Zuko's sadness was heart shattering I actually feel like crying
| The Congressman chapter 25 . 10/15/2014
[grinning and clapping] Wonderful, just wonderful. It was a thrill ride sometimes, but that ending was worth it!
| The Congressman chapter 24 . 10/15/2014
That was kick-ass. You wrote Azula perfectly.
The ending was awesome and sweet at the same time :)

Questions for FAQ
Hi all! I'm trying to gather questions that would be suitable for a FAQ list for this forum. Please post questions you think would be suitable on a FAQ. Thanks!
How about:
What's the difference between male and female gourd flowers?
Do gourds easily cross polinate?
Do gourds cross polinate with other curcurbits?
How do I hand polinate a gourd and prevent cross polination?
What conditions are ideal for germination?
How much room do gourd vines need?
How do I clean a dried gourd?
Here's more:
How to green clean a gourd?
What are some of the common diseases that trouble gourd gardens? How to combat them?
Can luffas cross with other yellow flowering gourds. Can they cross with other luffas? (the long ones and the round ones.)
What determines a thick and thin shell.
When should the gourd vine be trimmed? Why?
How can you tell when ornamental gourds are ready to pick?
Can you dry ornamental gourds for future use like the hardshelled gourds? Do you dry them the same way? Can you green clean them too?
Hi Talamorgan -
How are you and (baby) feeling I hope both of you are fine.
I have a question are you still willing to do the gourds FAQ? I have sent you several emails over several months and have not had any answers.
Has anyone heard from Talamorgan since her post in Sept?
I just opened up a gourd that has been sitting outside for several years and it looked pretty dried up, but I've kept the seeds as I'm not sure whether or not I can still use them. I can't seem to find any info on how one can tell whether or not a gourd seed is still useable. Does anyone have an answer?
