Ko Chang
- For other places with the same name, see Ko Chang (disambiguation).
Ko Chang (เกาะช้าง) is an island in Trat Province, Eastern Thailand.
Ko Chang is Thailand's second largest island, and the biggest in eastern Thailand. With about 5,000 permanent residents the island is not heavily populated, but tourism (and development) has increased dramatically over the past few years.
Ko Chang is one of Thailand's most beautiful islands with long white sandy beaches, most half-deserted. The island is also home to a wide range of wildlife, including a good selection of birds, snakes, deer, and a number of elephants. The island and its vicinity are great places for snorkelling, diving, and jungle hiking. The "discovery" of the island as a tourist destination since 2000 has brought on a large amount of rapid development, and while still far quieter than places like Phuket or Ko Samui, it's probably better to go now than later. Regarding services and activities specifically aimed at tourists prices have reached such a level that the islanders are pricing themselves out of the market when compared to the other islands.
Prior to World War II, Ko Chang was little known by anyone. During this period, the few families there made a living growing coconuts and fruit on the mainland. In January 1941, during the Japanese occupation, the Thai Navy fought the French in a battle in the waters to the southeast of Ko Chang.
Nothing else happened to Ko Chang until the first backpacker foreigners started arriving on the back of local fishing boats in the mid-1970s. In 1982, Ko Chang along with surrounding area became part of the protected Mu Ko Chang National Marine Park. Only very recently, in less than ten years, Ko Chang has turned itself into a major tourist destination, both for foreigners and local Thais.
This sudden tourism boom however, has been fraught with controversy concerning land encroachment. The government is trying to "develop" it from a backpackers' paradise to a top-level destination, and construction work is going on throughout the island, with basic huts torn down to make way for fancy resorts.
Ko Chang is the largest island in the Ko Chang Archipelago. The name means Elephant Island, named for the elephant shape of its headland, although elephants are not indigenous to the island.
Ko Chang has an area of approximately 429 square kilometres. The topography contains high mountains and complex stone cliffs. The highest peak is Khao Salak Phet which is 744 m high, rich in fertile evergreen forest which is the main water source. Therefore, there are many waterfalls, beaches, and splendid reefs in the west of the island.
Most accommodation is on the west side of the island, where the sandy beaches are. On the east side there are no sandy beaches and it is far less touristy. There are some nice waterfalls though.
70 per cent of this undisturbed island is rain forest, steep hills, cliffs, waterfalls, and wildlife, fine beaches, coral reefs and an abundance of marine life. The island also offers tall mountains and rock cliffs.

Ko Chang has the same seasons as Bangkok. The best season to go is the (comparatively) cool season between Nov-Feb. Mar-May are roasting hot and between Jun-Oct it rains, and a lot at that: 4,000 mm in an average year. Many guesthouses close during this season, so accommodation is limited.
Get in[edit]
By plane[edit]
Bangkok Airways flies twice a day from Bangkok's Suvarnabhumi Airport (BKK) to Trat. The flights depart at 08:30 and 16:50, and take 1 hour exactly. Fares are between 1,800-3,300 baht.
Direct door-to-door minibus transfers from Trat airport to Ko Chang resorts cost 475 baht/person one way and 800 baht/person return including the ferry crossing.
From Bangkok's Suvarnabhumi Airport, take the free express shuttle bus from outside the arrivals concourse to the airport's own bus terminal, and from there the next available bus to either Trat or Chanthaburi, then proceed as described below.
By bus[edit]
From Bangkok the most economical way to get to Laem Ngop (where the Ko Chang ferry piers are) is to take a 1st class Bus 999 from the Eastern (Ekamai) Bus Terminal direct to the Laem Ngop piers. The fare is 268 baht and takes just over 5 hr. Departures from Ekamai are at 07:45 & 09:45, and return at 14:00 and 16:00. Subject to seat availability, this bus can also be boarded at Chanthaburi and at Suvarnabhumi Airport.
There is a more comfortable way to travel from Bangkok Airport to Ko Chang: Bus 392 starts from the airport at 07:30 and returns from Ko Chang at 12:30. Tickets can be bought on-line at the Suvarnabhumi Burapha Bus Company. There are also express shared minibuses running from Suvarnabhumi airport non-stop to Lonely Beach on Ko Chang via the Lonely Beach Express. Tickets are 308 baht for the big bus and 600 baht (800 baht round trip) for the minibus which includes a ticket for the ferry. Also take a look at Pombai for online bus ticket booking options.
Bookable from most travel agents near Khao San. Travelmart operates a large, nice air-con VIP Bus from Khao San area to Centrepoint ferry terminal 4-5 hours. 300 baht which includes the ferry crossing is among the cheapest and most convenient way to Koh Chang. Leaves at Khao San at 08:00, but times can vary. Return service is also available.
Alternatively, there are 1st class (approximately 5 hr, around 250 baht) and 2nd class services from both the Eastern Bus Terminal (Ekamai) and Northern Bus Terminal (Mo Chit) direct to Trat, and frequent songthaew services from Trat to Laem Ngop (approximately 30 minutes, 50 baht/person). Departures from Ekamai are more frequent than from Mo Chit. If coming by bus from the south, the 511 air-con bus can be used to connect directly between Bangkok's Southern (Sai Tai Mai) and Eastern (Ekamai) bus terminals.
Connections in Trat can also be used if coming from Pattaya (2nd class bus, 4 hr, around 200 baht).
There are direct minibus services to Laem Ngop from Pattaya, Ban Phe (gateway to Ko Samet), and Bangkok's Khao San Road and Victory Monument (in front of Payathai Hospital). They, however, are less comfortable and spacious than public buses, and you may be charged significantly more by travel agencies selling tickets to these, as often with any tourist-oriented transportation in Thailand.
It may also be possible to proceed directly to Laem Ngop by minibus or songthaew from the Hat Lek/Ko Kong border crossing with southern Cambodia, depending on the time of year, time of day. Inquire locally. Price around 120 baht (one way) from the border to Trat bus station.
By boat[edit]
Most ferries operate from Laem Ngop, which has three piers: the Laem Ngop (Tha Khrom Luang or Tha Laern Ngop) pier is approximately 700 m west of Laem Ngop; the Centrepoint (Tha Centre Point) pier is about 3.5 km northwest of Laem Ngop. These piers serve both vehicle and passenger ferries; the Ko Chang vehicle ferry pier is in Thammachat Bay (Ao Thammachat), around 15 km west of Laem Ngop.
All piers on Ko Chang are on the east side of the island. The major piers are the two Dan Kao piers, Tha Dan Kao and Tha Ferry Dan Kao, which handle most of the traffic.
To take a boat from Laem Ngop to the Dan Kao piers takes around 45 minutes. The car ferry from Laem Ngop takes around 1 hr and arrives at the Tha Ferry Dan Kao pier, 400 m southeast of the Tha Dan Kao pier. The car ferry from Thammachat Bay stops at the Ko Chang Ferry Pier (Tha Ferry Ko Chang) in Sapparot Bay (Ao Sapparot), 3 km northwest of the Dan Kao piers.
Light meals, fruit, fruits and beverages are available at all the piers and on the car ferries.
There are two operators who provide daily bus services from Ko Kood to Ko Chang. One is based in Ban Bao, the other on Kai Bae Beach. Rates are the same but departures times can vary, so make sure to book ahead.
By taxi or limousine[edit]
From Bangkok or Suvarnabhumi international airport takes a total of about 5-5.5 hours by limousine or taxi. Most taxis will decline the trip as the risk of empty return is too high for them. Most (airport) limousines or minibuses will deliver you at the hotel or resort on Ko Chang, especially if they can make it back to the mainland before the last ferry sails.
Get around[edit]
In the daytime, you can catch a songthaew on its route around the main road for 50-100 baht/person, depending how far you go. The rates are generally much higher than in other places, but the vehicles are almost new and in excellent condition. Starting from 17:00, many of them start to ask "taxi" price, telling you that they operate as a public transport only until that time, and may quote prices as high as say 500 baht from Lonely Beach to the Dan Kao pier (bargain if you choose to hire, do not support silly prices!). However, if you have some time and patience, you still can try and have a "shared" ride with some drivers, maybe for a higher rate if they expect little or no other passengers.
These taxis are also waiting at the Dan Kao Pier (50 baht/person to White Sand Beach, 100 baht to Lonely Beach). At the Dan Kao Ferry-Pier there may be no taxis available. If you arrive without a vehicle you may have to walk the 400 m to Dan Kao Pier.
Small motorcycles can be hired for 150-250 baht per day. The main road is sealed and almost circles the island and there are plans to complete the circuit in the near future. Cars are also available for rent, most hotels can help with it. 4 x 4 recommended, since some roads might be in bad condition, especially near Lonely Beach.
If there are 2 or more persons going with you, hiring a songthaew may cost the same price, or even be cheaper than paying per each person in a "shared" songthaew (there is no difference, an empty songthaew can easily be hired). Just do not forget to bargain if their price sounds quite silly when compared, say, to Bangkok taxi-meter (on Ko Chang it can be difficult if not impossible to get the same price, but at least it should not cost double or even more). Most folk however, just stay put on the beach of their choice and walk to wherever they want to go.
Hitching on Ko Chang is also an alternative if you choose not to pay the often exorbitant fees of the songthaew. Many islanders are more than willing to pick up a hitchhiker who happens to be going the same way they are. A Coke or cold bottle of green tea for the driver are always appreciated at the end of your journey.

Menus are similar to the rest of Thailand, but the high island prices are due not so much to higher transportation costs, but because of high demand. There are many restaurants on any given beach open both daytime and evening with a strong concentration of tourist venues on White Sand Beach.
The beaches of Ko Chang are all dotted with restaurants dishing up some delicious seafood as well as offering romantic evening views. Try Ko Chang's very own wine which comes in a variety of fruity flavours including mangosteen and pineapple.

The drink you have to try is Chang beer, even if its only for the name. If you have a busy schedule ahead of you, better stick to Tiger beer as it doesn't give as much of a headache (yet it is slightly more expensive). Each village offers something different, but taken as a whole, Ko Chang's nightlife is fairly mellow compared to other islands. There are some quiet beach bars dotted around White Sand Beach with amazing sunset views.
- Jungle Queen Live Music Bar (Next to Alina Grande). The house band plays from around 20:00-24:00, and it's any kind of music from Rihanna to AC/DC, so there's something for everyone. People come from all over the island for the live music hour, so be sure to stop by when they are on. They also have free pool, and the place doesn't close until 05:00, so it's a good place to take the party after the nightclub and the other bars start closing. Service is good, and the staff are friendly and efficient.
- ONE. The only nightclub on the island. It's quickly become one of the most popular venues on Ko Chang, and there's usually a good blend of locals and visitors. Sometimes free if you get there early on event nights. The drinks are quite tasty. The atmosphere is really good, and there are special events or theme nights with drink promotions and guest DJs every week. Great place for dancing! Admission, 100 baht.
Lonely Beach's nightlife and bar scene is gaining a reputation among the backpacker community. It is the place to be for "full moon" imitations, bucket parties, and dance till you pass out disco bars. The rubbish left over from the parties are barely cleaned up, so the next day you can see exactly where the party took place from the main road. The party location generally rotates among several different bars depending on the day of the week, and is usually heavily advertised which bar is "the spot" for each night.

Hat Sai Khao (White Sand Beach)[edit]
Most hotels are on the west side of the island, with many resorts and guest houses all along the road that leads down the coast.

Hat Tha Nam (Lonely Beach)[edit]
Following a great deal of development, the name "Lonely Beach" has become something of a misnomer. Lonely Beach is the party capital of the island and each guesthouse on Lonely Beach takes it in turns to hold "party night," during which the partying and attendant thumping music goes on until about 05:00 and all the revellers on the island come to your guesthouse. If you do not want to be kept awake then Lonely Beach is definitely not the place for you. Most guesthouses giving "Lonely Beach" as an address are not located along the actual beach, but about 500 m down the road. From the village access to the sea is not possible as the coast is rocky.

- Kachapura, ☎ +66 86 0500754. Well-appointed concrete bungalows spread around a serene tropical garden layout in Hat Tha Nam's "town" strip. It's a trek through the garden to get to the beach, which is anyway rather rocky, so better to walk 5-10 min down the road to the beach and bar at Siam Huts. Some noise from nearby bars at night in the bungalows near the road. 500-700 baht.
- Koh Chang Pool Villas, 100/1 Moo 4, ☎ +66 87 0265515. Check-in: 13:00, check-out: 12:00. Best located pool villas on Ko Chang, right on the white sand of Lonely Beach.

Released: Jun 01st, 2005
Running Time: 120
Director: Bob Alexander
Company: Bob\'S Videos
Anastasia Pierce, Phoenix Ray, Crissy Moran
Critical Rating: AAAA
Genre: Specialty
For the foot fetish, stocking and nylons crowd - smokers, too.
Volume 191 is really all about Crissy Moran. Crissy does the fantasy right. She's a sexy little secretary alone in the office with little to do but rub her feet together. Eventually she takes notice of the camera and orders it to the ground so it can peek up her skirt. Shortly after, she gets herself worked up enough and her wetness clings to her fingers. She ends up with a couple of fingers inside.
All three girls leave on their nylons throughout their scenes. Anastasia Pierce also smokes. And Phoenix Ray doesn't hold back. She grabs a big dildo, sits back and gives it to herself.

Cleveland spelled backwards is DNA Level C
another AA/AS original.
Upon further review....Chadman believes the Steelers will get an unprecedented 56 sacks against the Colts.
Just a hunch as Chadman plays 'Captain Outragous'....
Schiavone's Race Career:
Starts- 10
Wins- 2
2nd- 4
3rd- 0
Other- 4
Prizemoney- $60,050.00
You had your chance to play 'Captain Outragous'.... 'Captain Caution' came out first, so two is where you'll be marked at. BTW, I hope everything is all well and good in Chadmatrimony. I know you won't changing your name to ChadDaddy, because I know that's what Jennifer and Scarlett call you.Originally Posted by Chadman
I have the same concern. The talent is much better than the record and they just got back some key players from injuries. We will need to hammer Manning however that is problematic because he is one of the "protected" players in the NFL and the roughing the passer flags will flow freely.Originally Posted by MeetJoeGreene
My greatest concern is the referees taking the game out of our hands in the interest to protect Manning. The calls against us this season have been ridiculous.
Playing Fantasy Football does not qualify you to be the in the front office or on the coaching staff of the Pittsburgh Steelers. They are professionals and you are not!
I think so too, look how many sacks we got against his little bro. On the other hand, Eli's a bit quicker and his line is better, and for sure the Giants have a better running game.Originally Posted by Oviedo
If the Steelers get ahead early: 5 sacks.
If the Colts take the lead and keep Lebeau guessing: 2 sacks
There was a reason why Portis leads the league in rushing and why up until Monday night's game, Campbell had no picks this season... the Redskins have an incredible front line. Manning and his arsenal will most definitely pose a great threat and challenge to our number one rated defense, but with last weeks relentless performance and never say die attitude, even when our offense was handing the win to the skins, our D came to play and shut down the Washington's potent offense (10th in the league). I like our chances this week and hope we maul Indy.

Catholic hospital sued for denying health insurance to lesbian in civil marriage
Catholic World News - June 20, 2012
Less than a year after New York State legalized same-sex marriage, a lesbian who works for St. Joseph's Medical Center in Yonkers has filed suit against the hospital for refusing to grant spousal health insurance benefits to the woman with whom she contracted a civil marriage.
Empire Blue Cross Blue Shield, the administrator of the hospital's health plan, was also named in the lawsuit.

The Balance Board at Shaka Costa Rica!
Posted by Oct04, 2010 Comments /span>The Balance board is a great way to gain core strength in the lower body. It simulates the rotation of weight from the back and front legs while surfing. It usually starts off with one of us crouching really low (as if we were inside of a barrel), and then doing a one-footed stance, and then escalates to using one foot and one hand to balance. I recommend balance boards at all surf camps because they are a great when the waves are not ideal or at night.
Thanks for your article. I also think laptop computers have gotten more and more popular currently, and now in many cases are the only sort of computer utilised in a household. The reason is that at the same time that they are becoming more and more very affordable, their processing power keeps growing to the point where they may be as potent as desktop out of just a few years back.

In addition to developer Jonathon LeCraft's tipsy battle pet tweets, datamining of the Warlords of Draenor alpha client has revealed a few new potential battle pets coming to a collection near you.
We can reasonably guess that the Mechanical Toucan will be an engineering pet. The information datamined about this pet even says it can be placed in Engineering-only bags. Lil' Leftovers, a reference to a comic by Kelly Aarons, better known as Cadistra, might draw its origins from Cooking. The Echo of Murmur is labeled as temporary, but its unknown whether the method of acquisition is temporary or if the pet itself was merely a testing ground. As for Carrotus Maximus, I would personally guess the pet will be acquired through means similar to the Terrible Turnip. Interestingly, a carrot battle pet model entered the game files prior to the Terrible Turnip's implementation.

Syrians Hit By Conflict In Greater Need Of Assistance
WFP's Ingolfur Palsson, a member of the WFP team assisting Syrian refugees in Lebanon, says that as more and more Syrians flee across the border, it's getting harder to meet their food needs. On June 7, UN humanitarian agencies revised upwards their assessment of the needs of Syrians affected by the conflict. Out of 6.8 million Syrians currently in need of humanitarian assistance, 4 million need food.

Features: British Isles Europe Middle East Africa Far East Prehistory King Lists: British Isles Europe Middle East Africa Far East Americas
Founded in circa AD 424, this small coastal kingdom was centred on the Bay of Cardigan. According to tradition, Ceredigion was originally part of the territory governed by the Pictish Gododdin chief, Cunedda, after he was invited by Magnus Maximus to settle in north-west Wales. Cunedda granted the land to Ceretic as his own kingdom, and it was named after him. The earliest form of the kingdom's name may have been Ceretica.
The kingdom may at first have included the Roman cantref of Rhos, although this later became a sub-kingdom of Gwynedd in its own right.
(Additional information by Edward Dawson, and from The Landscape of King Arthur, Geoffrey Ashe.)
c.424 - c.453
Ceretic / Corotic / Ceredig
Fifth son of Cunedda Wledig.
The name Ceretic or its various versions means 'beloved of Dagda', Dagda being Dag, the solar god who is cognate with English 'day', plus 'da', meaning 'good' - 'good Dag', in the same way that Christians might say 'blessed lord'.
Corun ap Ceredig
Son. Apparently predeceased his father.
In Ceretic's later years, when the kingdom is under threat of attack by Irish raiders, he is advised to abdicate in favour of his young grandson, Carantocus, but the saintly Carantocus is horrified at such a prospect and flees the court to live as a hermit at Edilu. Becoming the learned St Carannog, he is mentioned in connection with Arthur and a certain Cado who is probably Cado, king of Dumnonia in the early sixth century.
Carantocus / St Carannog ap Corun
Son. Fled the court to become St Carannog.
c.453 - c.490
Usai ap Ceredig
Son of Ceretic.
c.490 - c.525
Serwyl ap Usai
c.525 - c.560
Boddw ap Serwyl
c.560 - c.595
Arthfoddw ap Boddw
c.595 - c.630
Arthlwys ap Arthwfoddw
c.630 - c.665
Clydog ap Arthlwys
c.665 - c.700
Seisyll ap Clydog
Seisyll conquers Ystrad Towy, taking it from Dyfed. The kingdom of Ceredigion, thus enlarged by a third, is renamed the kingdom of Seisyllwg in his honour.
Seisyllwg consisted of the former Kingdom of Ceredigion together with the newly conquered territory of Ystrad Towy.
(Additional information by Hywel George.)
c.700 - c.735
Arthwyr ap Seisyll
c.735 - c.770
Dyfnwal ap Arthwyr
c.770 - c.807
Meurig ap Dyfnwal / Morydd
by 800
The kingdoms of Builth and Gwerthrynion are taken directly within Seisyllwg.
(Annales Cambriae).
c.808 - 872
Gwgan ap Meurig
Son of Meurig. Drowned and left no heir.
Angharad ferch Meurig
Sister. m Rhodri Mawr, King of Gwynedd & Powys.
872 - 873
Gwgan is drowned while crossing the River Llychwr in Gower whilst chasing off a Viking raid. The kingdom passes to his brother-in-law, Rhodri Mawr, after he quickly marries into the bereaved family. Rhodri is now king of much of north and central Wales. From this point onwards, Seisyllwg is ruled by a branch of the kings of Gwynedd as a sub-kingdom. In 873, Rhodri's son, Cadell, is placed in command of Ceredigion and the palace at Dinefwr.
873 - 909
Cadell ap Rhodri
'King of South Wales'.
Upon the death of Rhodri Mawr, and according to his wishes, Wales is officially divided between his sons. Anarawd succeeds him in Deheubarth, Merfyn in Powys, and Cadell is confirmed in Seisyllwg.
Cadell ap Rhodri and his son, Hywel Dda, conquer Dyfed and Hywel is granted control of the kingdom
909 - 920
Clydog ap Cadell
Son. No heir. Mentioned in the Annales Cambriae.
Drawn into full union with Dyfed under Cadell's second son, Hywel Dda, creating the kingdom of Deheubarth.
The death of Hywel Dda, king of all Wales, leaves the country divided. Hywel's sons, Owain, Rhun, Rhodri and Edwyn, take possession of his estates in South Wales, with Rhodi becoming king of Deheubarth itself and Owain becoming prince of Ceredigion.
950 - 957
Owain ap Hywel Dda
Prince of Ceredigion.
952 - 953
As part of the ongoing conflict between Deheubarth and Gwynedd, Owain leads an army into the North Wales kingdom and engages its men at the Battle of Aberconwy. The fighting is so fierce that both sides are forced to withdraw, having sustained heavy losses. The following year, Gwynedd repays the compliment, invading and devastating Ceredigion and being driven out by more fierce fighting.
Owain succeeds to the throne of Deheubarth and Ceredigion is fully reunited with it under him as its single ruler.
by 1100
Ceredigion is now regarded as a duchy of Gwynedd, and is ruled in the king's name by his sons.
? - 1143
Ruled the North. Brother of Owain Gwynedd.
before 1143 - ?
Hywel ap Owain Gwynedd
Ruled the South. Son of Owain Gwynedd. Gained North in 1143.

Internet giant Google Inc. has scrapped a plan to build its own data center in Hong Kong and will instead expand its facilities in Taiwan and Singapore.
"While we see tremendous opportunity and potential in Hong Kong…we will not be moving ahead with this project," Taj Meadows, Asia-Pacific policy communications manager, told The Wall Street Journal on Tuesday, citing cost and the difficulty in acquiring spacious land in Hong Kong to build a facility.
Data centers house computer, telecommunications and storage systems, and typically include backup power supplies and security devices.
Mr. Meadows declined to comment when asked whether the decision might be because of Hong Kong's proximity to China, where Google has faced challenges in expanding its business following its run-ins with the Chinese government over censorship in 2010. Tensions between the U.S. and China have heightened in recent months following revelations by National Security Agency contractor Edward Snowden that the U.S. agency collects sensitive data.
Last month, Google Executive Chairman Eric Schmidt expressed concerns about reports that the U.S. government allegedly spied on its data centers, describing such an act as "outrageous" and potentially illegal if proven.
Google operates 12 data centers globally, with seven based in the Americas region. The company has announced an investment of $300 million for the data center in Taiwan and $120 million for the facility in Singapore. Both centers are expected to be operational later this year.
Google first announced in 2011 that it would build its own data centers in Asia and was looking to acquire land in Singapore, Taiwan and Hong Kong. The move to set up its own centers in Asia comes as Google, like many other Internet companies, is seeing robust growth in Internet traffic and a rise in new users across many parts of Asia. More consumers are using smartphones and tablet computers to access online videos and other content requiring higher data bandwidth. Companies typically decide to build their own data centers for better security.
As a result of the move to abandon the Hong Kong data center, Google will have two data centers in Asia – one in Taiwan's Changhua county and the other in Singapore.
"To keep up with the rapid growth in users and usage across the region, we need to focus on locations where we can build for economies of scale," Mr. Meadows said, noting that the company isn't scaling back its Hong Kong operations despite abandoning plans to build a data center.

National League Game Summary - Cincinnati at Los Angeles (Tuesday, July 3rd) Final Score: Los Angeles 3, Cincinnati 1 Los Angeles, CA (Sports Network) - Luis Cruz doubled in the go-ahead run in the seventh inning and then was credited with a steal of home, helping the Dodgers to a 3-1 win over the Cincinnati Reds. Bobby Abreu had an RBI single and James Loney scored the go-ahead run, as the Dodgers won for just the second time in their last 10 games. They also snapped a five-game skid at home against the Reds. Brandon Phillips knocked in the lone run for the Reds, who failed to gain momentum after an 8-2 win on Monday to start this three-game series. Johnny Cueto (9-5) pitched well for the Reds and piled up seven strikeouts through seven innings. He also gave up seven hits, but was tagged with the loss, dropping to 1-4 lifetime against the Dodgers. The Reds also fell into a first-place tie with the surging Pittsburgh Pirates in the NL Central. Loney singled with one out in the seventh, and Cruz then doubled to the wall in left-center. The relay throw home from shortstop Zack Cozart was on target, but catcher Ryan Hanigan wasn't able to get into position in time to make the tag. Instead, Loney tripped over Hanigan's left foot and landed on the plate. "Johnny just got a couple of pitches out over the plate," Reds manager Dusty Baker said. "We had opportunities during the game, we just didn't score enough. The big hit escapes us tonight." Then with Tony Gwynn Jr. at the plate squaring for a squeeze bunt, Cruz took off toward the plate. The pitch from Cueto sailed high, clipped the glove of Hanigan and went to the backstop, creating the two-run margin. "I was pretty excited when I got to third base, then I saw the squeeze sign on," Cruz said. "I knew Cueto saw me breaking for home. I hope I distracted him. I'm just trying to help this team score runs." Chris Capuano lasted six innings in the start for the Dodgers. Scott Elbert (1-1) recorded the final out in the top of the seventh to get the win. Kenley Jansen walked pinch-hitter Chris Heisey with two outs in the ninth, but recorded his 13th save when Cozart fouled out to catcher A.J. Ellis. The Reds wasted a chance with runners at the corners in the opening inning and with the bases full in the fourth, but went ahead in the fifth. Cueto singled to lead off and Joey Votto, who had missed the previous two games with a knee injury, had a base hit with two outs. Phillips then doubled to the gap in left-center field. Jay Bruce had a chance to extend the lead, but struck out. Pinch-hitter Elian Herrera singled to left to being the LA sixth. Dee Gordon put down a perfect sacrifice bunt. With two outs, Herrera went to third on a balk, and he scored on Abreu's line single to center. Game Notes The Dodgers placed pitcher Todd Coffey on the 15-day disabled list with right elbow soreness Tuesday. To fill the roster spot, Los Angeles recalled pitcher Shawn Tolleson from Triple-A Albuquerque....Dodgers right fielder Juan Rivera went 0-for-4 on his 34th birthday...Reds center fielder Drew Stubbs was hitless in four at-bats and is mired in an 0-for-24 slump. 07/04 02:10:40 ET |

I can't imagine that there could be anyone 30 years or older in the United States who does not realize that we do not treat our veterans well. With all the publicity and hoopla created over the way Walter Reed Hospital was being operated a few months ago, some news reports suggest that even today things aren't much better. That's why I find it hard to understand that some parents would encourage their children to join the military. I would think all Americans should demand that the necessary money be appropriated for veteran's benefits before they agree to send them off to war.
I am especially puzzled by the fathers who want to beat themselves on the chest and let everyone know that their sons are fighting the war. I know one father who was virtually frothing at the mouth because his second son did not receive his orders in time to join his brother on the battlefield. The fact that many of these people have never served in the military and couldn't possibly know what goes on, is mind-boggling. Except for those who grew up in a career military family, most men who have been to war are not thrilled to have their children enlist. I suppose that the Vietnam War is considered to be too long ago for modern society to remember those horrific times. A few visits to veterans' hospitals would fix that problem. Is there honor in serving one's country? There certainly is, and one's country should appreciate it and provide the necessary services to those who serve.
Still, with as much attention as is devoted to the subject of the War in Iraq, one would think that citizens would be outraged when they hear about the way veterans suffering both mental and physical injuries are being neglected. I think it is downright shameful that none of the presidential candidates have taken up the issue and are advocating for change. All the talk about supporting the troops seems ridiculous when they are being so obviously ignored.
As an anti-war person, it actually embarrasses me when I hear the pro-war types making all these patriotic speeches when they know as well I do that the veterans are in sore need of assistance. I read stories about those who have lost limbs in the war and suffer from post-traumatic stress who are unable to hold jobs and can no longer support their families. Where are all these so-called patriots in these situations, and why are they not organizing support groups and services to help these young men and women? Some families are having to appeal to their senators and representatives in Washington just to get members treated for their injuries. And do people realize that, according to The Associated Press, more than 185,000 veterans are seeking assistance for their battle scars? In the meantime, those who are supposed to be supplying this help are caught up in bureaucratic turf wars.
Too many people are not personally touched by the tragedies some families are enduring. There are great numbers of people who don't know anyone serving in Iraq or Afghanistan or any of their families. The military draft may sound like a bad idea, but if there was at least one member of a family in your neighborhood serving in the war, and you had to face that family every day, you would have a better understanding of what these people are going through.
Well, at the rate these explosive devices are blowing off limbs, we may not have a choice in keeping the military supplied with healthy young people. Personally, I wish they would draft some of these gung-ho fathers who seem to think this is all a piece of cake. I wonder when the country will wake up and quit allowing old men and women to make wars for young men and women to fight.
In the direction our foreign policy is traveling, we won't have a friend left on the planet. That probably means that our great-grandchildren and our great-great-grandchildren will be fighting wars their entire lives.
Such thoughts should make for sleepless nights. But then, is anyone keeping score?

I am sitting here today absolutely broken-hearted knowing that we have all lost a great friend and a good good man with the untimely passing of Mike Workman. I know in my heart that his generosity, kindness, and ever present quick wit will be missed by all that had the pleasure of making his aquaintance.

I currently own a pair of Audio Technica ATH-M50 and a FiiO E17 Headphone Amplifier but to me I feel the bass is lacking, hence the reason for the thread. I mostly listen to Rap, Dubstep, Drum n bass, pop, etc. Also I would like headphones that don't muffle the sound too much when turned up like Beats by Dre Studios, any suggestions are welcomed :)
Some headphones that I have considered buying:
Sennheiser HD 449
Sony MDR-XB500
Ultrasone HFI 580
Beyerdynamic DT 770 Pro
Forgot to mention that my budget is between $150 - $250.

Friday 25 May is Africa Day! We'd like to give you an update on Mali's unrest. After a brief relief from the Sunday's accord between the Junta and ECOWAS to maintain the civilian president for a one year transition, things headed up again in Bamako.
The president was attacked and the presidential palace was vandalized on Monday. The country is trying to stick to following the constitution and the international community is supporting such a determination. In addition to the political and social unrest, the problem is that half of the country still remains in the hands of rebels/Islamist extremists. Over 150,000 people have been displaced, schools disturbed, and children are being recruited by the Islamist extremists in the north of the country.
On a bright side, the continent is celebrating the Africa Day this Friday on 25 May 2012. Despite the turmoil in the country, thanks to your support, ACFA-Mali's children are doing OK, and continue their schools and sports. We would like to encourage you to consider donating to the cause of Mali's vulnerable children. Thank you for all the support to ACFA.

The Pointe Claire windmill
That's because it is part of the city's coat of arms. Here's a link to the city's website.
It's equally true that unless you are both curious, and willing to go out of your way, you might never realize that there is an actual windmill.
And unless you Google a little, you might never learn the history of the mill. The mill was built in 1710 and restored in the 1960's. There are only 18 left of the 250 windmills originally built in the province. You can find out more about three of them right here on this blog.
See what you learn when you join the ranks of the scooter commuters? All it takes is a few minutes and a Vespa.

Trobairitz, hey I went to school here and we were never taught about mills or fortifications in Montreal, except perhaps fortified buildings in the old quarter of the city. My next blog targets are another mill and a 17th century stone fort that are both within a 15 minute ride of my house, but that until very recently I didn't know existed. The fort was destroyed in a raid by Benedict Arnold, before he became synonymous for American treachery.
Martha, Montreal and Quebec City are fairly unique in North America for having the earliest European settlements of any size. Both cities were the key jumping off places for the much of the exploration of the continent. Well worth a visit.David:
it's been a while since I have been to Montreal, or Quebec City. I remember renting a car from Toronto and driving through Ottawa and also through Kingston. It's very vague now. I would have never thought to look for windmills, that's why we put you there with a Vespa, so you could ride around, snap some photos & do a bit of research to let keep us informed
Keep up the good work !

Dec. 2, 2009 stever Men's 65 62 posts | First off, anyone who starts rumors such as these is beneath listening to. They are nothing but jealous gossip mongers. The FACTS are that Oklahoma Turf Pro did forfeit the championship game on Sunday. The reason was they were down to nine players, and two of them were hurt. They were missing four players, including 3 of their five starting infielders, due to family issues (two deaths, 3 serious illnesses)which came up the week before the tournament. This meant they only had 11 players to begin with. One other player that was there was recovering from shoulder surgery, two had to leave to catch early fights, and one more was hurt. Further, this was always planned as our last tournament together due to private issues. The team has since disbanded. So whoever is so jealous they have to start rumors such as this should now be exposed for who they are. And thanks for your faith #6. sounds like you're one of the good guys. |
Dec. 2, 2009 #6 Men's 60 1183 posts | stever, I knew there was another story...like I said I have played against them several times and there a great bunch of guys.Sorry to hear there disbanding...but this happens...take care of yourself and hope all goes well with the players who will keep on playing.My thoughts and prayers go to the families who suffered their losses and hope the ones with serious illnesses get better.Hang in there buddy.... |

Welcome to my first guest blogger, Felicia Hudson of Hudson Creative Copy. This is the second in a series of posts about using marketing strategies beyond social media to promote your small business. The first in the series covered a realtor's use of QR codes.
There is a well-known adage that no publicity is bad publicity. Well, yes and no.
It's possible to unknowingly alienate editors—the exact people you need to pick up your press releases—by engaging in publicity whore activity. I once worked for a marketing director who insisted we send out two to five press releases per week to keep the company name in the news. Not the best way to get the attention of editors.
As an entrepreneur or small business owner, you face the challenge of not only writing an enticing press release, but getting it picked up by reporters or editors as well. These six tips can help your press release avoid the circular file or "delete" button:
- Share legitimate news—hence the term "press" release. Stick to the critical information that you want your audience to know about.
- Don't write a press release as though it's a marketing piece. It's not. Editors know you want to share information about your company—that's why you're sending a press release. Write succinctly and concisely so the editor can find the valuable hook in your release. Don't make them dig for it.
- Respect the editor's time. This goes along with tip #2. Don't slam editors with poorly written press releases as you cross your fingers and hope for the best. Be strategic in what you are sending and how often. Before you send it, ask yourself if you are really communicating something of value; or is it just self-serving publicity?
- Keep your press release to one page. The press release is a vehicle to drive your target audience to contact you for more information. Don't try to cram extraneous background information into your release. Stick to the facts and drive potential customers or clients to your website, or a contact at your company, for more information.
- Make sure your press release contains the essentials. Even the best penned press release is useless if it doesn't contain the facts reporters and editors need. Include your marketing person's (or yours) contact information (phone number where the press can reach you), date the news is being released and location from which the release is being made—also known as the dateline.
- Establish relationships with editors. Get to know the editors of the publications you send press releases to. Interact with them via phone, Twitter, e-mail or whichever way you choose, but do connect with them (connect—don't stalk!) Be gracious when they do pick up a press release. If you find that most or all of your releases are being passed up, ask the editor what you can do to change that. Don't be aggressive—just ask nicely. Let them know you're willing to do the work.
Do you have any tips on press release distribution to share?

Title: | ʻIke Mōakaaka, Seeing a Path Forward: Historiography in Hawaiʻi |
Author: | Williams, Ronald Jr. |
Date: | 2011 |
Publisher: | Kamehameha Schools |
Citation: | Williams, Ronald C. Jr. "ʻIke Mōakaaka, Seeing a Path Forward: Historiography in Hawaiʻi." Hūlili:Multidisciplinary Research on Hawaiian Well-Being 7. (2011): 67-90 |
Abstract: | The creation of a hegemonic, master narrative for Hawaiʻi - sourced almost solely from English-language materials - has long offered a highly exclusive characterization of past events and figures in Hawaiian history. Elements within this dominant narrative not only shape understandings of specific individuals and actions but also work together to construct a general understanding of a people and their nation. This article advances analysis of a political biography, set in a crucial period of Hawaiian history, to highlight a historical process that continues to inform paradigmatic yet problematic histories. It calls for a decided and comprehensive move to a more inclusive historical process that offers a more complex, rich picture of Hawaiʻi |

[This is a Guest Post by Guest Blogger Frank Maier]
Some thoughts about the Hobby Lobby situation…
The First Amendment (Bill of Rights – U.S. Constitution).
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
Right off the bat, we have a problem with the word "right."
There are many interpretations of this word but I'm gonna stick with the legal
(functional!) usage. Libertarians, beware.
Rights are not absolute. In the two-hundred-plus years of
our history, several limitations have been enumerated on each of the rights
listed in this amendment. You're all familiar with the classic limitation
example on speech – yelling "Fire!" in a crowded theater. There's actually
quite a lengthy list of restrictions on this right, just as there are
limitations on all of these rights. In the Hobby Lobby case, we're talking
about religious rights; so let's examine that.
In 1878, while considering polygamy, the Supreme Court said,
"Laws are made for the
government of actions, and while they cannot interfere with mere religious
beliefs and opinions, they may with practices." They maintained that
polygamy, like human sacrifice, could be litigated against, despite a
plaintiff's religious beliefs.
As Martin Luther
King, Jr. once said about White soi-disant Christians and their beliefs about
Black men, "It may betrue that the law cannot make a man love me, but it can stop him from lynching me, and I think that's pretty important." In reality, the law
sometimes couldn't even prosecute lynchings, much less prevent them; but that's
a problem with function, not theory.
These days, the salient concept is "compelling interest."
Whether it's Seventh Day Adventists working on Saturday, Native Americans
taking peyote, or Santeria animal sacrifice, the Supreme Court relies, at root,
on "compelling interest" principally because of the 1993 Religious Freedom Restoration Act, which was reaffirmed in the 2006 Gonzales v. UDV ruling.
Hobby Lobby's position, as far as I can tell (for that
matter, this entire philippic is just my opinion based on my limited knowledge
of what's actually going on here.), is that they believe that IUDs, "Plan B," and Levonelle are abortifacients and
their sole resistance to complying with the law is based on those particular
items. Aside from the fact that this belief is scientifically/factually
incorrect, other evangelical Christians who tried to talk to the Hobby Lobby
about their position were turned away by security forces. Those evangelicals
wanted to say to Hobby Lobby that these devices and pills are not
abortifacients but are simply a different form of contraception, which Hobby
Lobby claims to support. The petition from these evangelicals states that Hobby
Lobby is simply using their "faith" as an excuse to oppose health care reform
and deny women access to birth control.
The reality is that the lower courts have denied Hobby
Lobby's challenge and now they've lost their appeal to the Supreme Court. That
leaves Hobby Lobby in the position where they have the choice to comply with
the law or pay the fine. Render unto Caesar, folks. It's that simple. Your
religious beliefs do not constitute a unilateral right and they do not trump
the rights of your employees in your secular business.
Me, I believe that
these Medieval flat-earthers simply hate living in the real America, which is
not a fundamentalist theocracy, and this is a cri de coeur against the cruel truth of reality and the harsh truth
of science which contradicts their weltanschauung daily. As Neil deGrasse Tyson
so bluntly stated, "God is an ever-receding
pocket of scientific ignorance."
But that's just my belief,
which has very little bearing on reality.

Should the Lions go after him? ESPN - What gives? Oakland Raiders cut highly paid corner DeAngelo Hall My vote is HECK YES!!! Your thoughts?
ABSOLUTELY NOT!!!! We don't need another head case that isn't that good. He's trained as a press man coverage CB and we dumped Bly due to that. Got bad enough problems as it is now.
We should hope our coaching staff could fix that. He must have skills to command that kind of money. I'd look at him in the $4M range.
ummm you said it yourself.... "our coaching staff" i'm not sure we could make ronnie lott warren sapp and mean joe green look good in there prime
Sign him for 2 million. If he'd been on "Dancing With The Stars", Then I'd go as high as 5 million........
Well, that was fast. ESPN - Cornerback DeAngelo Hall agrees to join Washington Redskins with one-year deal

Returning for its second year, the 2013 artrepublic Visual Arts Prize is now open for entries from artists registered to take part in the Visual Arts section of this year's Fringe, together with art students from the Arts Faculty at University of Brighton and City College Brighton & Hove. The Prize An artrepublic gift voucher worth £250 combined with a cash prize of £250 will be awarded to the artist who is considered to produce the best piece of visual art. The lucky winner will also receive free registration to the 2014 Brighton Fringe worth £228 (ideal if you want to bring your work to a wider audience next year). The competition follows no specific theme and is open to artistic imagination. Submissions are now open to those eligible, with the deadline for entries on Sunday 28th April 2013. How you can get involved Although the prize is only open to those taking part in Visual Arts at Brighton Fringe and art students at University of Brighton and City College Brighton & Hove, we would like everyone to get involved in the judging. Once all submissions have been received, artrepublic and a panel of local artists will decide on a shortlist from applicants which will then be followed by a public vote during May 2013, to decide the winner. Keep checking our website for details. Visit the shortlist exhibition All those shortlisted will be exhibited at the Visual Arts Fair which will form part of the Fringe City event at the Unitarian Church in New Road, Brighton on Saturday 1st of June. The winner of the 2013 artrepublic Visual Arts Prize will be announced at the exhibition. We are excited at the prospect of viewing lots of fresh unique artistic works over the coming months and awarding the 2013 artrepublic Visual Arts Prize on 1st June. Good luck to all applicants!
