New Item - Henry V, Welcome to Agincourt Patch

I wanted them to introduce a bit of whimsy and maybe irony to locations where horrible or tragic things happened, and this is my first result — a luggage sticker or postcard style patch for the Battle of Agincourt, fought by Henry V against the French army. 30 more words

Highly qualified and experienced UK based software developer
United Kingdom - Last active: 1 day ago - Tests: 6 - Portfolio: 5
I've been developing software as an employee and as a freelancer for over 15 years for a broad variety of applications from hardware drivers to high level multimedia systems.

I'm currently working with companies to build internet and intranet applications that improve their workflow efficiency.

On the media side, I am proficient at video editing, 3D modelling, animation, and image manipulation using a variety of software.

BWW Reviews: Playhouse's VANYA AND SONIA AND MASHA AND SPIKE Would Make Chekhov Giggle
by Joseph Baker - Mar 23, 2015
I wonder if Jackie Nichols is providing on-site psychiatric help for those involved in the repertory presentations of Anton Chekhov's THE SEAGULL and Christopher Durang's VANYA AND SONIA AND MASHA AND SPIKE at Playhouse on the Square. Surely the veteran Irene Crist, performing double duty as Director of both the uber-heavy Chekhov piece and the giddy Durang parody, is on a schizoid seesaw as she veers from the serious to the silly - and the same might be said from the cast members who swap costumes and take their characterizations from one play to the next. Having just seen THE SEAGULL last week, I was eager to see how Durang's TONY-winning play would parlay all that Chekhovian talk about artists and pseudo-artists into something more laughter-inducing. However, rest assured that the talents involved in both plays rise (or fall, as it were) without any difficulty. (more...)

DETROIT to Play Chelsea Theatre Works

In a "first ring" suburb outside a midsize American city, Ben and Mary fire up the grill to welcome the new neighbors who've moved into the long-empty house next door.

The quintessential American backyard party quickly turns into something more dangerous - and filled with potential. (more...)

JUDGMENT ON A GRAY BEACH to Run 3/6-15 at La MaMa
by BWW News Desk - Jan 30, 2015
Elia Schneider, formerly of Venezuela, is known for hauntingly visual productions which transcend language with strong imagery and a dreamlike fresco of movement and design. In 'Judgment on a Gray Beach,' her newest work, themes of exile and totalitarianism are explored by a condemned man--he knows not for what--on a beach populated with ten sheepish antiheroes who agree to obey absurd laws and nonsensical orders. Will he escape or return for punishment? La MaMa E.T.C., her theatrical home in New York, will present the work's world premiere March 6 to 15 in its Ellen Stewart Theater, 66 East 4th Street.

Amy Vaughan Releases POSITIVELY SENSORY!
by BWW News Desk - Feb 24, 2015
Amy Vaughan has released her first book, 'Positively Sensory! A Guide to Help Your Child Develop Positive Approaches to Learning and Cope with Sensory Processing Difficulty,' currently available online at Amazon.com and other booksellers. Written as a resource for parents, teacher and professionals, the book walks the reader through the reasons a child chooses specific behaviors and helps problem solve through methods of engaging that child toward more positive behaviors. What connects with your child? What motivates them? What makes them do what they do? How can you redirect a child's negative behavior to something more appropriate? 'Positively Sensory!' explains that the solution is more than just positive and negative reinforcement and is about truly connecting with what drives your child at a deeper level. Amy Vaughan is recognized for her accomplishments as a pediatric occupational therapist. She has developed a professional reputation for her skill in finding positive approaches to learning for gifted, typical and special education students and in assessing and treating autism spectrum disorders and sensory processing issues. 'Positively Sensory!' was written as an effort to support professionals and parents in their quest to meet children right where they are and walk forward into a better tomorrow,' says the author. 'It is designed to provide a framework for setting up positive behavior and learning situations that will build into skills and relationships. Whether a child is dealing with anxiety, difficulty in learning, problem behavior or sensory processing difficulty, this book is designed to be a resource to help set parents and child up for success.' Children operate on at least two levels, engaging the world around them by taking in sensory information and then engaging the world through behavioral activity. The challenge for the parent, teacher or professional arises when the sensory information a child takes in is not accurate, which when leads to an output of behavioral activity that is less desirable. The job of the parent, teacher or professional of a child who is struggling with internal stressors such as sensory processing or attention issues or external stressors such as fight, flight, or fright behaviors in response to specific situations is to connect with the child through their core strengths and interests, reaching the true motivators and then bringing those to the forefront to engage the child in positive behaviors. 'Positively Sensory!' gives the reader a strategy for making those connections while also evaluating the child's strength areas through its proprietary Learning Strengths Profile evaluation tool. Once the child's strengths are defined, 'Positively Sensory!' gives practical exercises and tools for building on a child's strengths to increase success, enrichment, and quality of life. Amy Vaughan is an occupational therapist practicing in Missouri. She has worked in multiple therapy settings including hospitals, schools, clinics and private practice. She is board certified in pediatrics and has spent her career studying and working with children in order to set them up for healthier, happier development and learning. She currently leads the pediatric occupational therapy team at The Autism Center of Burrell Behavioral Health in Springfield, Missouri. She also writes and speaks extensively while raising her own four children alongside her husband, John. In recent years, she has been awarded both the 40 Under 40 Award as well as being one of the 20 Most Influential Women in Southwest Missouri by The Springfield Business Journal, located in Springfield, Missouri. 'Positively Sensory! A Guide to Help Your Child Develop Positive Approaches to Learning and Cope with Sensory Processing Difficulty' is a 256-page book published by Scribble Media, LLC. With a list price of $26.99, this 8-1/2 by 11 inch book is accessible to both professionals and parents who want to build happy, healthy relationships with children through a combination of behavioral strategies and sensory processing exercises. The book's technical content is wrapped around an assessment tool, the Learning Strengths Profile, designed to capture a child's learning strengths for the purpose of understanding how that child engages best in learning and relating to the world around him.

A Bucket list must to do!
07 Jan 2015 - 20 Jan 2015
This trip went so quick, but loved every minute of it!
It was a great way to experience every countries culture, history, food, their nature and beautiful monuments.
The trip also allowed plenty metime options to ride an elephant, hug a tiger, go water tubing in caves and much more!
The highlight was seeing Ankor Wat Temple in Cambodia and definitely just how beautiful and kind the people in Laos are.
I went in January and it was very hot, bring LOTS LOTS of undies as you will go through 2 a day from all the sweating! There was 2 places in Thailand up high in the mountains where it was raining and very cold and our group was not prepared for such a dramatic change in weather so bring 2 spare warm jumpers or jackets and warm pants.

Asia is absolutely beautiful an amazing. Hot, but it's so worth it to go. Asian Adventure is a great taste and intro to 3 great cities and I can not wait to go back for more. The trip is a highlights trip - only twice do you spend more then 1 night in the same city. Laos is a huge surprise, it's now one of my favourite countries. The only downfall was free time was limited - you would get 1-2 hours at most in between contiki's planned activities which was never enough time to venture too far away from the hotel to go see/do something that Contiki doesn't take you to. There are a lot of temples, an temple wear in Asia is dreadful but each is different, and fascinating so go to them all! Do as much as you can as the 2 weeks go by super fast and you want to get as much in as possible. You can always rest and sleep on the plane back home.

Amazing Asian Adventure
04 Jan 2015 - 17 Jan 2015
This trip was my first time travelling overseas by myself and I honestly had never been so terrified/nervous/excited in my entire life! As quite an introverted person I was worried about going by myself and having to make friends, but going by myself ended up being one of the best decisions I have ever made! I met so many amazing people on this trip, and it was easily the best two weeks of my life! Our tour guide Danny was amazing!! He had such extensive and helpful knowledge on everywhere we went - make sure to to go to his restaurant recommendations in Chiang Mai and Bangkok, they were off the beaten track and so delicious! Make sure to bring at least one jumper and pair of pants and some wet weather clothes, we had really unusual weather in Laos and we were all permanently drenched and cold for the majority of Prakbeng and Luang Prabang! Enjoy Vang Vieng, it was easily my favourite place on the entire trip. Go to Kangaroo Sunset and talk to all the staff there, they all have incredible stories to share, and make sure to write your name on the wall! Definitely do all the optional extras as well, like tubing and kayaking in Vang Vieng as they made the trip so much better! Also, on your return flight home, don't book it too early in the morning. Everyone gets absolutely crazy on the last night and I made the mistake of booking a 9am flight from Siam Reap and then having an 8 hour stopover in Bangkok airport hungover as hell without a wink of sleep. But most of all just enjoy it! It was one of the most incredible experiences of my entire life and I am so thankful to have had the opportunity to go on this trip and to see so many amazing places and meet so many amazing people. My only regret is not continuing onto Vietnam with everyone!

This was without doubt the best thing I've ever done! I would recommend this trip to anyone! It's action packed and full of wonderful little surprises. Our Contiki tour manager was an absolute Gem, he was so knowledgeable, always willing to help and hilarious! Thanks Soki. Hint: Do all the optionals, it's well worth the small amount of dollars for the unforgettable experiences!

10/10 Experience
10 Dec 2014 - 23 Dec 2014
I originally decided to do a Contiki tour because it was an inexpensive way to travel through a country I was unfamiliar with. I had little expectations and large preconceptions before leaving. Despite this, I can honestly say that my preconceived doubts were blown out of the water. My Contiki experience was cultural, adventurous, scenic and exciting. Every day was something new and unforgettable. My guide, Kristen Schuster, was informative, caring and easily approachable. Kristen and her flawless organizational skills were impressive to say the least. All in all, I can't wait to book my next holiday with Contiki.

*Fantastically Mindblown*
25 May 2014 - 07 Jun 2014
This two week trip through SE Asia has it all: Grand Temples, Buddha's, Canal Cruise, Overnight Train, Monk Blessing, Thai Cooking Class, Hill Tribe Visit, Mekong River Cruise, Caves, Bike Tour, Snake Whiskey, Monk Feeding, Waterfalls, Elephant Riding, Kayaking, Blue Lagoon Swimming, Arc de Triomphe, COPE visit, Killing Fields, Karaoke, Quick Flights, Floating Villages, Tuk Tuks, Bug Eating, Night Markets, Angkor Wat Temples, lots of Food, SO MUCH FUN, and much more!
I'm a 26 year old male that traveled solo and ended up in a group of 13 from all over the world. This trip provides you with an authentic cultural experience in each of the countries visited. Everyone's familiar with Thailand, but Laos and Cambodia were unknown gems. You see the amazing offerings of each country but also get to experience the more emotional side of their day to day lives by learning about what their ancestors have been through, and also their current struggles. You come to appreciate the simplicity of their culture and the happiness that they are so eager to share with you. From the city to the rural countryside this adventure is extremely well rounded. I don't want to release any spoilers but there wasn't anything on the itinerary that I didn't enjoy, it's a bit of an emotional roller coaster at times, but that's a good thing.
Traveling with CONTIKI was great; they've really planned the itinerary around what young professionals would want to do/see. It was so worry free and easy that you truly get to focus on enjoying the experience of it all. The places we stayed were all really nice and in great locations, the Pakbeng guesthouse is the only 'roughing it' stop, but it was enjoyable as well.
This trip filled travel urges I didn't even know I had and left me wanting to see/learn more about the areas visited, as all good travel should. Honestly, if you're debating this trip, quit it and sign up now.
Top notch #CONTIKI, thanks to you and Allison our tour guide for the experience of a lifetime, I will be using y'all again in the future!
TIPS for this trip:
-If you go in the summer months bring BANDANAS, they're great as sweat bands, which will be 24/7 but still worth it.
-Use sunscreen, their sun is strong.
-Find the bamboo bridge in Luang Prabang!
-Don't drink the night before the drive to Vang Vieng, that's the craziest road I've ever been on.
-Be sure the money you bring is crisp/clean US$, they often turn down old bills and won't take them. Also bring an ATM card.
-At Utopia, when you take your shoes off, carry them with you, mine got stolen from the front entrance.
-When debating buying souvenirs you can wait until the very end in Siem Reap, their night market has anything and everything, so you don't have to tote extras around the rest of the trip. Go ahead and buy some temple pants early on though, you'll use those a lot.
-Do ALL of the Optional Add-Ons, they're awesome, and probably some of the best experiences of the trip.

If you can only take one trip - THIS IS THE ONE
17 Nov 2013 - 30 Nov 2013
I loved this trip. I always knew I wanted to go to Asia. This trip was the best introduction into how amazing Asia can be. I'm definitly addicted and want to go back.
Our tour guide was Amazing. She went above and beyond every day. Always giving us ideas of what to do with our free time so that we did not miss anything.
Our tour mates were great - always cracking jokes and the puns. We still keep in touch and are hoping to travel together in the future. The age group was all over the place once group younger one group older. But we all got along. I think there were 30 of us.
Do all of the optionals - If you are like me then #YOLO - How often will you be going back to the same places in Asia? Asia's huge.
Also Asia is cheap - the hotels are amazing b/c they are cheaper then Europe, food is usually $10 or under for a meal. Getting around town is generally under $10. Anything you ever wanted to do - will be more affordable in Asia. Side note - Bring American dollars with you or use debt at ATMs for $.
This trip is jammed packed. If you want to only sleep and party - this is not your trip, sleeping is not part of the deal. Also make sure you sleep before this trip. You will want to go out every night to experience all these amazing cities.
If you want a play-by-play of what is on this trip read my blog: http://andreamcgrath.com/?cat=7
This trip will be one of the top 10 highlights of my life :)

This trip truly is an adventure! A lot of fun, but also educational. I love architecture so that was a treat. The group I traveled with were great to meet and get to know. They helped make the trip. The tigers are hard to resist if you get the chance of course. I went during the water festival, and ended up celebrating a little bit w/ the owners of a closed restaurant I unwittingly wandered into. Definitely an experience I'll never forget. I would definitely recommend it.

Life-changing SE Asia
10 Nov 2013 - 23 Nov 2013
Wow. I've been back from my trip for a few months now and I'm still in awe of all that I've seen and experienced. This trip is non-stop with each city showing a change in culture and different experiences. So many amazing things happened on this trip! To name a few: elephant ride, Thai cooking class, Thai boxing, blessing by a Buddhist monk, visits to countless and unique temples (including sunrise at Angkor Wat!), river boat rides, city bike ride, visits to the hill tribes and floating villages and jumping into a waterfall! This trip really shows you how happy people can be with so little and after suffering so much in past wars (the people of Laos especially being the happiest people I've ever met!) I feel so blessed to have met the people I did (both locals and my tour mates!) and have come back with a new outlook on life! I felt safe everywhere we went and with our amazing guide James, everything was taken care of. An incredible way to see everything you could possible want to in these 3 countries, with no hassle. Would highly recommend. This trip definitely makes you richer :)

Asian Adventure!
04 Sep 2011 - 17 Sep 2011
I went on this tour a few years ago in 2011 and I have just booked another Contiki because I had so much fun on the last one. My tour guide was Cam and he was a very knowledgeable guide but was also very relaxed which made for a really fun 2 weeks!
I met up with some fellow Contiki crew the day before the tour started at the hotel, which was a nice welcome to the hustle and bustle of Bangkok. Bangkok was certainly an experience, although I was very glad to make our way north on the overnight train to Chiang Mai in the country. The train was a very different experience but loved it, I did feel sorry for the 2 monks we had in our carriage though.This felt like the real Thailand! I loved the Thai cooking class, and making big flames with my cooking! The Tigers were absolutely amazing, scary at first until I gave him a big belly rub.
The Long neck people in Chaing Rai was very eye opening as I had never seen anything like this before, and they were so friendly. We had a nurse on our trip which was helpful to the locals who had a sick little boy at the time.
The boat was a nice relaxing time, being able to chill out was just what we needed to prepare ourselves for the next week, a great time to read a book!
Pakbeng was a really cute little place, and glad we got to stop by there.The accommodation was nice, as Cam said about the bathroom "you can sit on the toilet, have a shower and brush your teeth at the same time" that's how small it was :)
Luang Prabeng was great fun, the elephants, the water falls, and a night out a Utopia! Riding bikes around the town was super fun with our local guide Tooey! I did miss out on the giving of the alms which is the only thing I regret about the trip ( I turned my alarm off in my sleep ) So make sure you go to bed at a reasonable time for this activity! Once again the accommodation was nice, and they even have a laundry service so take advantage of this!
The bus trip to Vang Vieng was a very long and adventurous journey. It was supposed to take 8 hours it took almost 13!!! These roads were very very very rough due to the wet season and landslides etc. So be patient and remember its about the journey not the destination. We had a lot of fun singing to old classics and taking in all the local village life. We came to a section of the road that was literally a river! we had to stop and take our bags out of the bottom of the bus and put them into the bus as the water was going to go through the baggage area, it was an unexpected event but gave us a real insight into how the Laoation people live. The locals took the flooding as a chance to go fishing, drink beer and laugh at the tourists is the bus!!
After a very long day we arrived in Vang Vieng, this place is amazing! the accommodation is set right on the river amongst some beautiful mountains.
One thing you must do is Vang Vieng is to split up into some smaller groups and go on a local tour. It cost about $15 AUD, but worth every cent. They picked us up from the hotel and took us to a local street and talked all about their way of life, cost of building a house etc. They then took us into some caves and into a water cave on tubes that attached to a rope with headlamps on, meanwhile it was pouring rain, so don't wear anything you care about, buy a Lao Lao singlet or something! I also recommend taking some sandals such as Teva, that way you can wear them in the water without them coming off. Thongs were kind of impractical at times. The we had lunch in a hut by the river which was delicious! Our guides took all of our bags and followed us down the river tubing, making sure we were all ok. I know this part of the trip has been taken off the itinerary, which is unfortunate but I can understand. I am certainly glad I had a local guide with me when we did this for extra safety.
Vientianne was nice, I think we were only there for a night so I don't recall anything too crazy! We did go to a restaurant that had amazing local food that supported a charity.
We flew from Vientianne to Pnohm Penh which was a nice change to a long bus trip. Pnohm Penh was crazy! We hadn't even pulled up to our hotel and young locals were selling us thing through he windows, such as books and sunglasses. This is great if you want some bargains, but be careful, they wont leave you alone!! The tour to the Genocide museum was sad, but its great to have a real insight into their history.
From Phnom Penh to Siem Reap was also by plane! They save the best till last, I LOVED Siem Reap, the accommodation was just beautiful!! Visiting the floating villlages was unique, great photo opportunity here. Siem Reap had some nice shopping and cafes, I even bought and ipad there! I was envious of everyone else with one which made swapping photos with each other a lot easier. So having a computer or some spare USBs is handy at this point as the trip is about to end. Angkor Wat was just crazy!! Especially drinking champagne watching the sunrise up over the landmark. It made getting up early that little bit more interesting!
The last night in Siem Reap will be the best yet as you have made some really great friends. Believe it or not you only met them 1 days ago and you wont want to leave them :(
I went on this tour on my own and don't regret that at all. I am still in touch with some of the girls and guys 3 years on, and plan more trips together as they are all like minded people. That's why your on this trip right?! To meet people from the other side of the world, gain more contacts for your next adventure, visit them in their country!
All in all this was a life changing trip as I am still talking about this trip, it gave me such an unforgettable cultural experience and I still use the Language I learned on the trip on Thai restaurants here is AUS. I recommend using their language as much as possible, just to see the smile on their faces!
I'm sorry for the long review, once I got started i just couldn't stop, so I hope this was helpful - things may have changed from my trip to your trip though.
My next tour is the Thai Island hopper East in April!!

Amazing, once in a lifetime trip.
05 May 2013 - 18 May 2013
This trip was out of this world, truly. It was the first part of the larger Indochine trip that continued on to Vietnam...I didn't have 25 days to spare for the whole journey, but felt fulfilled with the three countries I did visit and the people I met on this trip. The tour manager was extremely knowledgeable and fun, had a balance between friendly and organized. We got local info at every new stop with helpful hints. The local guides were interesting and informative, really hilarious in most cases. Our hotels were way better than I'd imagined...all but one had WiFi and only one in Lao was a bit rustic. Expectations were exceeded from the first night.
I'd have to say I had slight reservations booking (being on the older side of the age spectrum) but it wasn't even a factor. Everyone was well-rounded and unique, all taking the trip for their own reasons and most were pretty experienced in travel. Since we kept a good pace to get from place to place, there was a lot of accountability, and people looked out for each other. Friendships were made. There was enough free time built in that you could explore a bit on your own or opt out of certain activities...but most of them were worth taking part in.
As soon as I returned home to see photos of myself hugging a tiger, riding on an elephant's back, playing in waterfalls, dancing in the rain, drinking snake whiskey, w/friends drinking/eating/dancing and just overall having the time of our lives...I realized I would definitely be taking another trip with Contiki. It's well organized and Contiki has made the right choices to maximize the time you have in the locations you visit. Someday when I'm much older and retired I'll take months leisurely browsing through areas...for now I like the pace and social aspect.

Asian Adventure
12 May 2013 - 25 May 2013
Best time ever! First trip solo and it was so worth it. It was a wonderful experience throughout. Met wonderful people, learned so much about the history and the culture of all the countries I visited, and most importantly, made great friends. I've been back for over a month and can't stop talking about it. I would reccommend this trip to everyone.

Life Changing
14 Apr 2013 - 27 Apr 2013
Travelling to these three countries was one of the most rewarding and eye opening experiences of my life, and I would seriously recommend the Asian Adventure to anyone. This tour provides the perfect mix between partying in the hubbub and excitement of Bangkok and Siam Reap and to the breathtaking sites in Veintianne and Chaing Rai socialising from Bangkok to Chiang Mai and in Pak Beng and the much needed relaxation element of every travelling holiday in Phonm Penh and Luang Prabeng. Not to be forgotten was the awe-inpiring journey along the mighty mekong river, Elephant riding in Laos and the truely unique and stunning white temple. As an added bonus you get a local tour guide with you nearly very step of the way as well as you tour manager, which provides the perfect mix between a travellers experience and a local persons view, not only did I come back more educated about the world but i returned with some amazing photos on facebook, a whole encylopedias' worth of facts and information, a novel worthy adventure, experiences I can brag to everyone I know about for years and most cherished: a more relaxed, open and accepting perspective on things not only in my own country but of the world. Worth every penny and honestly, honestly worth the 5 stars its received. In a word: #NoRegrets

Amazing Asia
28 Apr 2013 - 11 May 2013
What an amazing trip. These countries are truly different from any place I'd been before. Contiki are really good at creating these adventures that give you the opportunity to be thrown from your comfort zone, whilst still providing the support you need to make it a trouble free trip.
Laos and Cambodia are incredible countries, places that most people don't know anything about. There were several times in Laos when I felt compelled to compare it Never Land. Best experiences of the trip include, elephant rides in Laos, visiting hill tribes in Thailand, Thai cooking classes, market tour in Phnom Penh, bike riding in Luang Prabang, and the boat ride down the Mekong.
I had a great tour group, its the best place to meet like minded people, people who enjoy traveling. There are quiet a few people who do the trips solo, so its easy to make friends. The transport and accom were all great, so long as you remember you're in Asia. Our tour guide was brilliant, her knowledge of these countries was mind boggling, and she went out of her way to assist us in everything we needed. I highly recommend this tour. :)

Absolutely Fantastic!
27 Jan 2013 - 09 Feb 2013
This trip was a life changing experience for me. Everyday was an adventure and i have to thank my tour guide Paddy for that. Even on our free days, he was organising activities for us to do, booking kayaks, bikes, tuk tuks for us. I don't think he ever slept! I know our entire group is so greatful for all his hard work. My favourite country was definitely Laos. And my favourite days were the elephant ride and the kayaking, caving and bike riding (not included). My group were amazing and i have certainly made some friends for life. We all became a family and got on so well. The hotels we stayed at went beyond what i expected. They were lovely. Everyday was a different form of transport. Not your typical bus ride tour. We went on boats, bikes, planes, tuk tuks, an overnight train and a few buses. I definitely recommend this tour! Especially if it's your first time overseas! You will be very well looked after.

The name says it all -- Asian Adventure. The whole trip is just an ongoing adventure. You see a different side of Thailand not just the party party white beaches. Laos is one of the most beautiful places and must be visited (even though the tubing has been shut down); you will be pleasantly surprised. Cambodia is so full of history and surprises. I definately didnt want this adventure to end and wish I had continued the journey onto Vietnam. Highly recommended tour. Accommodation, views, travel -- nothing to complain about.

Had the absolute time of my life on this tour and would definitely do it all over again! Our tour manager Hugh was fantastic, and really went the extra step to make our Christmas and New Years special.
The highlight of the trip definitely includes the cooking class, giving alms to the monks, the elephant ride and the nights out with my amazing tour group.
The tour covers so many different places and offers so many different types of travel - an overnight train, boat, bus and plane. It is definitely the way to experience South East Asia.
I would recommend this tour to everyone!

Amazing, exciting and eye-opening adventure!!
22 Jan 2012 - 04 Feb 2012
The Asian Adventure was by far the most exciting and amazing experience I have encountered so far. The culture, food, sites we visited and the people on my tour made the experience a once in a life time opportunity. Asia has defiantly become a favourite place for me because of the times I spent travelling and exploring the three countries on the tour, and I know have a new found respect for the local people. I am so thankful for the wonderful memories this trip provided me with and the lifelong friends I made. I had the absolute time of my life!

Exciting, eye opening, cultural and wild!
02 Sep 2012 - 15 Sep 2012
From the buzzing nightlife of street markets & bars, to stunning temples, crazy tuk-tuk rides, elephant rides, thai cooking classes, remote villages, beautiful scenery, swimming in waterfalls, bucket nights, photos with tigers and ancient ruins......this trip was truly life changing and an amazing experience I will never forget! The people in SE Asia especially are the most unforgetable human beings. So friendly and cheeky, they will always bring a smile to your face.
Our tour manager Nikki was the best and took the stress out of everything. Contiki certainly run a great show and take you to places you would not normally see if you were doing your own thing. The accomodation and transport was more than adequate.
We only had a mini group of 16, but my tour mates were diverse, fun, outgoing and will be friends for life. The 2 weeks flew by so quickly however the duration was perfect for this trip. I would highly recommend it to anyone wanting a holiday with an even mix of culture, sight seeing and partying.

An excellent argument for encouraging constructive conflict in the workplace. Interesting to read, but I believe potentially difficult to implement. From a managerial perspective, however, well worth trying, especially if the workplace is particularly stale. Read full review

I am cleaning up my hard drive for 2013 and have disovered that my iTunes folder is the largest folder. Good for me.
Within my itunes folder are both an iOS Applications folder and a Mobile Applications folder They both have recent Modifed Dates and there is some .ipa overlap in terms of applications and serial numbers, it seems like the older stuff is in the iOS Applications folder. I own both an iPad and iPhone but cannot seem to fathom any consistency as to which apps go where.
Do I need both of these and if not is there an easy way to resolve the "problem"? (Assuming it really is a problem.)
Interesting, I only have the Mobile Applications folder. If there are any applications that appear in the iOS folder but not in the mobile folder, you can move them over to the mobile folder, and then delete the other one.

What? So it looks like you spent 8K on a bike
Speed has never killed anyone, suddenly becoming stationary... thats what gets you.- Jeremy Clarkson
Yup...sold the Komodo, the crapper, car, van, wife, kids, house...bought a bike.
hmm i read this as "i need this [rear shock] on my komodo", and I feel like I should start some "yeah i bet you wish you had a full suspension" or "wait you are a rear suspesion get off that komodo you don't even fit" Meh
Your sentence doesn't make sense to me. If you need it explained:
Wow this is an interesting bit of technology worth showing...let's give it an irrelevant title to get peoples attention.
It looks like a large chunk of equipment for a "trail bike" or "endurance race" sorta thing. When I first saw it...I thought it was a DH application. Pretty slik though.
Looks like one of those "enhancer" contraptions you get in your SPAM folder that will guarantee that "you will make her scream with joy". They don't work.

What does it actually do?
I mean, aside from all the usual moving up and down, rebound adjust, etc.
That is found on the Scott Genius bikes. It offers 150mm of rear travel and three traction control settings which can be adjusted from the handle bar. Its also extremely light at 410 grams. Meant for long distance racing and touring. Wish I had a couple grand sitting around

New London — The City Council on Tuesday night unanimously rejected a request from Mayor Daryl Justin Finizio to transfer $92,500 from an economic development fund to pay for an investigation of Margaret Ackley's conduct as police chief.
Finizio announced at Tuesday night's council meeting that he was nominating William H. Webster - a former federal judge who also served as director of both the CIA and the FBI - to lead the probe of Ackley.
"We are in uncharted territory, since the just cause statutes were passed to protect police chiefs and fire chiefs, none in the state of Connecticut have ever been removed pursuant to those statutes," Finizio said. "Obviously, if we become the first in the state to take action - or not take action, who knows - it is going to be a test case. The city's liabilities in that circumstance could be very significant."
The $92,500 amount was a "high-end" estimate of the total cost for Webster and his team to complete the investigation, and would have been paid upfront as a retainer, according to the mayor.
On July 31, Finizio suspended Ackley, with pay, "pending the outcome of an investigation into her conduct as chief." Finizio said he suspended Ackley because of allegations that she selectively targeted union leaders for discipline, withheld information about the public safety requirements for the Sailfest festival and deliberately failed to assign officers to Ocean Beach Park on the weekend of July 4 "in order to make a political budgetary point."
Ackley's suspension came one day after she filed a request for an injunction against the mayor as part of a pending lawsuit against the mayor and the city that she filed last year in which she claims the Finizio reneged on terms of a new contract he signed. A judge in New London has set a Dec. 9 date for a hearing on Ackley's requested injunction.
Finizio's request Tuesday was not well received by the City Council, which would have to approve the fund transfer in order for Finizio to enter into an agreement with Webster.
Councilors voiced their concern over the cost of Webster's services, the funding source Finizio proposed drawing from and the way Finizio presented his nomination.
"This is a transfer resolution for $92,500 and we found out tonight that it is to hire probably the most expensive investigator in the country, albeit a very competent one," Councilor Michael Passero said. "I'm not sure it is something the city of New London can well afford."
Councilors expressed apprehension in approving a transfer that would take money out of a fund designated for economic development to then be used to address a personnel matter.
"Transferring this amount of money from economic development fund for something not related to economic development is probably not wise," Councilor Erica Richardson said. "There are such better things to do with our funds at this point."
The agenda for Tuesday's meeting contained very little by way of background information. The resolution included in the council's agenda packet listed only "police department" as the reason for the transfer, and councilors were not given more details until Tuesday afternoon, they said.
"I am exceptionally disappointed with the lack of transparency exhibited by the administration on this item. To get this handed to us and his verbal explanation this evening is bad form, to be kind in a public forum," Councilor Martin T. Olsen said. "The item at hand is exceptionally important and needs to be well thought out, and we as a body ought to be given appropriate time to consider something of such importance."
Webster, 90, headed the FBI from 1978 to 1987 and the CIA from 1987 to 1991. He is the current chairman of the Homeland Security Advisory Council.
It was unclear Tuesday night how the mayor plans to proceed with the investigation of Ackley.

2000 Buick Regal Q&A
2000 Buick Regal Question: Car hesitate when goinq uphill and accelerate
Car overheat even after changing water pump and termostat LP - manses
2 Answers
Answer 1
poss air in system or blockage in radiator. have the coolant flow ck"d - globalhelper
Answer 2
I have this same problem, I've noticed when driving across country the car sorta changes in handling which I believe may also affect how the car Performs. But going south to north over the Grapevine mountains in California I had an issue making it up that first steep incline. First i started slowing down quickly then the engine started to die out just slow down and die out. So I was in the fast lane all the way to the left and I had to pull off to the left. The engine was bright red when I checked it but mainly the exhaust pipes coming off the pistons, But ever since that now my engine is having troubles and is misfiring cyclinder 3 and I need help diagnosing it. Its not an answer but it is similar whatever may have affected the qustioner may have happened to me - SilentNinja

Jindal's Mindless "Moral Clarity"
The weakness of Jindal's position is reflected in his robotic recitation of ideological slogans.

Graham is running to promote hard-line foreign policy views that are already overrepresented in the current field.
A timely reminder that isolationist is a completely meaningless word in contemporary debates.
Paul's foreign policy rhetoric was combative enough to be off-putting to antiwar conservatives and libertarians.
The focused attacks on Paul show there was no point in trying to placate hard-liners.
Paul has burned bridges with many of the antiwar libertarians and conservatives that were once most likely to be on his side.
It isn't good enough to support diplomacy in theory while being maneuvered into doing things aimed at wrecking it in practice.
Paul doesn't seem to have thought through any of the implications of what Kurdish independence would mean for the countries affected by it.
Whether the sabotage "works" or not, the attempt itself is obnoxious.
Ludicrous ideological policing seems to work only too well.
Rand Paul's attempts to placate hard-liners in his party are useless.
Paul is most likely to benefit from having more hard-liners in the race.
The fact that the U.S. is very secure ought to work to the advantage of candidates that favor restraint and peace.
Rand Paul makes another unforced error.
Once again we are presented with a dumb "pro-Israel" proposal that will make conditions worse for all involved.
Anyone Paul alienated with this move was already determined to be against him anyway.
The argument over Cuba policy is potentially quite significant.
