Thailand is the travel hub of Southeast Asia. Most people coming into the region fly into Bangkok and make that their base for doing the circuit around the region. With its lush jungles, famed beaches, world-class diving, amazing food, and cheap prices, Thailand attracts visitors from all walks of life. You can find cheap guesthouses and $10,000 a night resorts in this country – sometimes even next to each other. Travel through Thailand is really easy. The country is a well-worn destination on the backpacking trail and everything is convenient and easy. Though well on the map, there are still good destinations to visit away from the tourist masses and prices. Overall, Thailand speaks for itself. It's so well-known around the world that when you hear the name, you already think about beaches, beauty, jungles, and food. And your thoughts are dead on.
Destination Guides for Thailand
Typical Costs
Accommodation – Thailand is very cheap, though the north is far cheaper than Bangkok and the islands. You can find cheap guest houses for as little 235 THB per night in cities and 135 THB per night in the countryside. On the islands or for a nicer room with air-conditioner, expect to pay 575 THB and up per night. Basic bungalows cost the same. Hotels start at around 1,350 THB per night and go up from there. Big resorts on the islands start at 1,685 THB per night for a bungalow on the beach. Suk 11 Guesthouse (Bangkok), Chada Guesthouse (Bangkok), Julies (Chiang Mai), Kodchasri B&B (Chiang Mai), Pooh's (Ko Lipe), Greenhouse (Khao Yai) are the best companies to use for accommodations.
Food – Food is really cheap in Thailand. Street food costs as little as 20 THB per meal, though on average you'll spent about 35-50 THB per meal if you eat on the street. If you eat local food you can eat for around 120-170 THB a day. Western dishes cost between 170-340 THB, though they can be higher in the fancier western establishments. Isao Sushi (Bangkok), Catalana Tapas (Bangkok), Om Ganesh Indian (Ko Phangan), Dada Kafe (Chiang Mai) are four of my favorite restaurants.
Transportation – Like everything in Thailand, transportation is also cheap. Local buses cost as little as 8 THB per trip, the Metro and Skytrain in Bangkok cost 15-50 THB per trip, and cab rides are usually 60-100 THB. Tuk-tuks are more expensive and cost 100-235 THB. Train service around the country is cheap – day trains cost as little as 235 THB. Night trains start around 575 THB for second-class without air-conditioning. Boats to the islands cost 235-475 THB. It's often better to get a bus/boat package then pay for them separately.
Activities – Day tours cost 575-1,200 THB per day. Trekking costs 1,000-1,685 THB per day. A PADI dive certification course (very popular in Thailand) costs around 10,100 THB. Elephant Nature Park (Chiang Mai), Sairee Hut Diving (Ko Tao), World Divers (Ko Tao) are the best tour companies.
Money Saving Tips
Go local – The easiest way to save money in Thailand is to simply live like a local. Take local buses, eat street food, and drink local beer. The average Thai lives on a less than 7,750 THB per month in Bangkok, and on even less in the country side. If you stay at cheap guesthouses and eat the street food, you can spend as little as 335 THB per day.
Eat the street food – Speaking of street food, don't be afraid to eat it. It's safe- even safer than a restaurant. If it wasn't, the Thais wouldn't be packing the stalls each day. You'll find the best of Thailand's food on the street and it will cost you a fraction of what you pay at a restaurant.
Take advantage of happy hour – Thailand's many happy hours have half-priced drinks and 2-for-1 specials.
Buy beer at 7-Eleven – Buying beer at Thailand's ubiquitous 7-Elevens and drinking outside will save you quite a bit on your bar tab.
Top Things to See and Do in Thailand
Explore Bangkok – The heart of Thailand, this crazy city is a must-see. Most travelers don't like it right away but it grows on you. Explore temples, palaces, amazing markets, shops, one of the craziest nightlife scenes in the world, and of course, amazing Thai food. At first, I didn't like this place but it grew on me. Now, I love this city and return frequently.
Find adventure around Chiang Mai – Chiang Mai is an old city ringed with temples and surrounded by jungle. It's a good launching pad for jungle treks into the area; there is a nearby elephant sanctuary, and the Chiang Mai night market is a place for some of the best deals in the country.
Hike in Khao Yai National Park – Located three hours north of Bangkok, this park is an excellent place to hike, swim, and find wild elephants. It's not very crowded so you'll have the jungle to yourself. Stay at the Greenleaf Guesthouse for the best tour/accommodation deals in the area.
Visit Khao Sok National Park – Located down south, this is considered one of the best parks in the world and the best in Thailand. You'll find caves, jungles, rivers, lakes, and tall limestone kyrsts here. It's not a common stop but if you are in Thailand for awhile, you should make the effort to go.
Hop around the ancient capitals – Between Chiang Mai and Bangkok are Thailand's three ancient capitals – Sukhothai, Lopburi, and Ayutthaya. Visiting them on your way north is a unique way to head from Bangkok to Chiang Mai. You'll get to learn about ancient Thailand and see rural life at its best. My favorite capital is Ayutthaya.
Relax on tropical islands – Thailand has a million and one beautiful tropical islands. Some are overdeveloped, while others only have a single bungalow on them. You'll find everything here. Some of the best islands here are – Ko Samet, Ko Taruato, Ko Lanta, Ko Chang, Ko Tao, Ko Jum, the Similian Islands, and Ko Samui.
Partake in the Full Moon Party – If you like partying, there's no better party in the world than the famous Full Moon Party. It's 20,000 people partying until sunrise on a beach on Haat Rin, Koh Phangan. Sure, it is super touristy but that doesn't mean it's not a lot of fun and it's as much a part of Thailand as anything else.
Go jungle trekking – There is some great jungle trekking in northern Thailand. Be sure to go on a multi-day hike. The shorter hikes aren't as good and the hill tribes you visit are like visiting Disney world. The biggest departure points are Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai.
Go scuba diving – Scuba diving here is a popular activity. The cheapest place to learn is on the island of Kao Tao, which caters specifically for dive trips. Most people don't go there if they aren't diving. While you can dive all over the country, Ko Lanta, the Surin Islands, and the Similian Islands offer the best diving.
Learn to cook – Thai food is one of the most delicious types of food in the world and its relatively easy to cook. All over the country you'll find places to teach you, though the best are in Chiang Mai and Bangkok. Even if you don't plan to cook back home, at least you get to spend a day making and eating food.
Get off the beaten path – If you really want to see what Thai life is like outside the big cities, visit Isaan. Isaan is the name for the northeastern part of Thailand and is extremely rural. This area contains small farming villages that hardly see any tourists. Life here hasn't changed much in a long time. Often considered a "backwater", I think it's one of the most interesting places in the country.
Take the day train – Taking the day train from Bangkok to Chiang Mai is not only cheaper but a much better way to see the countryside than the night train. Sure, you waste a day but you see the countryside, you experience how Thais take the train, and your treated to vendors coming off and on every stop selling meals for 15 THB. The day trip remains one of my favorite experiences in Thailand. Just make sure you have a good book!
Take part in Songkran – Between April 13th-15th, the Thai celebrate Thai New Year by holding an enormous, three-day water fight. Songkran, as it's known, is meant to wash away the old and begin the year anew. It's an amazing festival, and an unforgettable experience! Here's a preview:
Help the elephants – Sure you can come to Thailand and ride an elephant, but so many of them in this country suffer from abuse. An even better way to get up-close-and-personal to the animals is to volunteer at the Elephant Conservation Center near Chiang Mai.
Admire Wat Doi Suthep – This stunning Buddhist temples lies in Doi Suthep-Pui National Park, 10 miles out of Chiang Mai. A tram or a trek up 300 steps will take you to the summit of Doi Suthep, where the glittering gold temple spire awaits you. The temple dates back to the 14th century, and really is too beautiful to miss.

OpenTable, the restaurant-reservation site, set the terms for its IPO in an SEC filing today. OpenTable is looking to sell about three million shares (or some 15 percent of the company) for a range of between $12 and $14 a share, which values the company at about $260 million.
The company's management says it owns about half of the shares that would be sold in the public offering. After management's portion of the funds raised are deducted and legal and banking fees are subtracted, the company says it would net about $16 million in cash, which it will use to fund operations.
OpenTable is an online reservation service that has restaurant partners in all 50 states and claims to have seated 100 million diners since its inception in 1998, including nine million during the first quarter 2009. As of the end of 2008, it offered reservations from about 10,000 restaurants. The company earns its revenue through fees to install OpenTable software at restaurants, a monthly subscription fee to use that software, and a fee for each restaurant guest that is seated through opentable.com.

SYRACUSE The Onondaga County Ways and Means Committee had a $50 million gap to fill in the 2011 county budget, but the solutions they've recommended to the full Legislature – representing more than 60 changes to County Executive Joanie Mahoney's proposed budget – have been scrutinized for a lack of long-term foresight.
Mahoney's $1.2 billion budget, released mid-September, represented a 2.7 percent property tax decrease and dropped the county tax levy $3 million.
When the Ways and Means committee, chaired by Casey Jordan, 14th-R, presented its list of proposed changes on Thursday Sept. 30, the committee recommended about $45 million in adjustments through a combination of funding cuts, eliminated positions, and controversial decisions like selling the Onondaga County Sheriff's Department's helicopter.
But some – Mahoney and the sheriff's department, for starters – have voiced concerns over how and where the committee found $45 million to slash from the budget, saying that the recommendations provide only quick fixes, at best, and at worst would jeopardize county residents' safety.
The changes
Mahoney said the committee did manage to find $5 million in "real" savings, mostly by cutting funding to arts and cultural programs and events, like eliminating county funding to RedHouse.
"Those are things the community is going to have to debate and decide on," Mahoney said.
The committee also recommended the county close Pratt's Falls County Park and eliminate the four employee positions there, in the hopes that it would be taken over by the town of Pompey.
Jordan said the committee was also able to reduce the costs of employee benefits and pensions, thanks to early retirement of many employees.
But the rest of the cuts -- "the vast majority," said Mahoney -- were the result of "gimmicks" and raiding savings accounts.
Roughly $12 million of the savings the committee found would be pulled from fund balances, Mahoney said.

Most years, native forest pests munch on trees, never really causing huge disturbances or widespread damage. Natural enemies, environmental conditions, and interactions with the host plant generally keep populations low. But every once in a while, when environmental conditions are perfectly-suited, pest populations build and an outbreak can occur, catching everyone by surprise. Western North Carolina is seeing the effects of two forest pests that appear to have no plans to take summer vacation.
Oak leaf blister, a disease caused by a fungus, is affecting the appearance of oaks across the western region. White and red oaks are both susceptible, but it is more common and severe in red oaks. When infected, leaves develop light green, yellow or white spots. As the disease progresses, the spots form yellow or brown puckered lesions or blisters. When the infection is severe, the entire leaf yellows, curls and drops prematurely.
Most years, oak leaf blister is minor and outbreaks are typically associated with a cool, wet spring, and chemical control is not needed. The disease only affects the leaves and, as with most defoliating pests, a single year of defoliation will not affect the long-term health of the tree. To keep damage to a minimum, landowners are encouraged to maintain general tree health, such as watering during dry periods.
The yellow-poplar leaf mining weevil is also in outbreak status, causing widespread browning and defoliation on yellow-poplar trees. This beetle is damaging to yellow-poplars, magnolias and sassafras trees. As a result of adult and larvae feeding on the leaves, the leaves turn brown and die.
Most years, the weevil is not considered a threat to yellow-poplar timber. Sporadic outbreaks have been recorded in the Eastern U.S. since the 1960s when outbreaks similar to the ones being seen now caused significant foliage loss on yellow-poplar in the Appalachian Mountains. Foliage destruction temporarily reduces the aesthetic values of landscape trees. To manage the pest, promoting general tree health is best. The outbreak should subside on its own, especially with the help of natural enemies.

I would not recommend staying here (or at least, do not book via this listing-- they have another listing also). They did not have my reservation when I arrived and the hostess seemed confused and not in contact with Jose, the manager of this listing. We were going to take a room with shared bathroom (even though we had paid for a private bathroom), but there was a giant cockroach in the bathroom. The upsides were that there is a gated area for you to park you car and it is very close to the airport. The hostess was nice and Jose responded quickly to my refund request and apologized for the mix up. But this was definitely not worth the trouble, especially because the rooms are not as nice as in the pictures and the bathroom seemed dirty. This listing is also more expensive than the other one (which I had assumed meant this one was the one with the private bathrooms, but it is not specified anywhere on the two listings what the difference is).
jacqueline, i want to apologize once again, both for the mixup on the reservation and the cockroach in the bathroom. we do clean the bathrooms more than once every day, but those critters can come in anytime, though not that often, fortunately. we try not to overspray pesticides in deference to guestsossibly low tolerance for them. the pictures shown were taken by an airbnb photographer
Took a very small amount of searching to find the place when we approached it at night, but host was very helpful getting us there! Everyone working was very sweet and helpful. Breakfast in the morning made by Sylvia - they give a few options and all that I tried was great. Rooms were nice and had more than what we needed.
Isabel was very welcoming and we enjoyed our stay in the Fish Room. The B&B was a lovely place to relax and we enjoyed sitting in the hammock and in the garden watching the rabbit. Our bed was a bit creaky but comfy and in a nice big room. We really liked the honesty system for drinks and it was just a short walk to town. We needed the walk in the morning after the big breakfast! It was great to have a choice at breakfast time.
We arrived at Vida Tropical mid afternoon and were warmly greeted by the host. The house is plain on the outside but very nice and inviting inside. Our room was very private and comfortable. Great location for a early fight the next day.
She gave good directions to a nearby gas station and then helped us park our rental car across the street in a secured lot. I was concerned about waking early to give us time to return the rental car before our 7am flight, but explained there was not problem - the "night host" would prepare toast and coffee and help us depart on time.
Vida Tropical is close to the airport, and right in the middle of Alejuela. It is very close to many places needed upon arriving or leaving San Jose. A bit hard to find but Jose was very helpful in guiding us to the hostel by phone.
We arrived in the evening after a bus ride coming from La Fortuna. The host was immediately available to us and showed us around the properties. There was a map listing readily available for us to navigate the town and find food. We enjoyed the complimentary breakfast and coffee on our last morning in Costa Rica. Felt safe being here and the porch has a spectacular view of the sunset. We would definitely opt for this location again if we were coming back, as it is close to the airport, cheap taxi ride away. Rooms were neat and tidy.
We stayed at Vida Tropical to be close to the airport for an early flight. We were immediately greeted by Sylvia who kindly provided us with change for a larger bill since our cab driver didn't have change. There was always someone available to help with questions and our early cab ride was arranged for us. Most impressively, though the breakfast hours were posted as 7-9am, Sylvia knocked on our door shortly after 4am to ask what we wanted to eat! We had to leave at such an early hour, yet she had made eggs, fresh fruit and coffee for us! I had not expected this.
Our room was charming, nothing fancy but quite adequate for our needs. It was difficult to sleep because of a strong light coming into the room and all the traffic noise. To be fair, we stayed on New Year's Eve, so there was additional noise from fireworks and festivities. I suspect that the noise would have died down earlier had this not been the case. Also we were in the "Fish" room which faced the street. Perhaps a back room would have been quieter. The wind was gusting and rattled our door. The bed was not very comfortable.
We wanted to stay in Alajuela because it sounded safer than San Jose. The town did not impress me much but we didn't see much since most businesses closed early for the holiday. In general, if you are looking for a place to stay close to the airport with reliable and efficient staff, this is a good choice. I would rate it higher if the room was quieter and the bed more comfortable.

I suppose I should say I TIHNK she broke her leg. She's been gone for a few days, which for the other cats is pretty normal but Dora is the runt, and honestly, she's a bit... off-center. Literally. She couldn't catch a mouse if her life depended on it. So she just chills in the barn and eats. If she can't be bigger, she's going to be heavier.
She hobbled into the barn last night, not putting ANY weight on her right back leg. With some gentle prodding, it's right above her foot that hurts. The whole leg is swollen, her toes are HUGE. So I put her inside with cozy accessible blankets to sleep on with a dose of tylenol.
Here's the thing; she's not MY cat. It's the barn owner's cat. So of course I called and left a voicemail, trying to express how BAD it was and how important it was she see a vet. If I had the money, I'd take her. Mine or not. But even if the owner does decide to take her, it'll take her DAYS, maybe WEEKS to get around to it.
In the meantime, do you think there's anything more I can do for her? She's going to be in the tack room from now on, and given a dose of tylenol [I get the infant's bottle with the dropper] twice daily. She has never-ending food, fresh water, and a litter box, with the heater on. But can I do anything else? =\

Choice 1840 Quarter Eagle1840 $2 1/2 MS64 PCGS. CAC. The 1840 Liberty Head quarter eagle boasts a mintage of just 18,859 pieces, small in comparison to most denominations, but nominal in the context of the series. The year saw the first use of Gobrecht's Liberty Head design, and the date is prized by type collectors today, but few examples were saved by the general public at the time of issue. Examples in Choice Mint State condition are very rare, as reflected by the population data. Currently, PCGS has certified only two coins in MS64, with none finer, while NGC has graded seven examples at the Choice level, also with none finer (8/10).
Important First-Year Type Coin
Among the Finest Certified
Important First-Year Type Coin
Among the Finest Certified
The present coin is an attractive Choice example with strong visual appeal to complement the high technical grade. The lustrous fields are highlighted by flashes of orange-gold color and display areas of prooflike reflectivity. The 1840 is known for its weak central strike, and this piece does show some softness in Liberty's hair above the ear. The shield and eagle's feathers also show some incompleteness, but the peripheral devices are strongly impressed. A few shallow scratches in the obverse field, near star 2, prevent an even higher grade.(Registry values: P2) (NGC ID# 25GA, PCGS# 7717)

Shinko 705s

Unstable Rider

Joined: Jul 2010

Oddometer: 2,668
My riding budget mid-season this year dictated I go with "price-conscience" tires for the 2009 KLR. I indeed wanted to try some 705's myself. Ordered em up and was very pleased when they arrived, nice looking tire, great disign and all.
Had em mounted and balanced, and
put 3,300 miles on them before parking the bike recently cause of the weather.
I am very pleased at thier performance and the level of confidence they give the bike for all around riding. Not slippy on tar snakes, great under a heavy load, and my bike sometimes sees 70+ for short stretches of I-94 here. They also seem confident in the rain.
I put 9,000 miles on the KLR this season, and like I said 3,300 of them were on the 705's. Great tire.
I am guessing I will see about 4,000 - 4,300 miles on em before I opt to pull them and will replace with another set.
I weigh about 260 and carry heavy loads on trips. Good or bad, I run my KLR tires at 30 rear and about 25 front. Just what works for me and the bike is confident at those pressures. Tires wearing great, no cupping, no separation, etc.
First the Earth cooled. Next came rats, cockroaches and KLR's... and life was good.

Am I the only one who finds spending $800,000 of federal Homeland Security money to surround Ticonderogas tiny airfield with a chain-link fence a tad extreme? Couldnt our federal government find more worthy projects in the interest of national security than writing a nearly $1 million check to surround 10 private single-prop planes and keep teenagers from racing their dads pickup on the tarmac?
This from the folks that gave taxpayers a $434 hammer and a $600 toilet seat cover.
Imagine the good that amount of money could do for a more worthy project here. What real improvements could be made at the airport to better align it for the future perhaps even position it as a learning stage for Plattsburghs new aeronautical institute.
Better yet, how much tangible good could $800,000 do for local residents, many of whom work two jobs just to live a whisker above the poverty level. Perhaps it could help create affordable housing or reduce the crushing cost of property taxes.
Lets put it in perspective. Crown Points entire amount to be raised by taxes in 2007 was just under $1 million. That $800,000 could give every homeowner in Crown Point a year off from local property taxes.
The entire budget for the Ticonderoga Police Department in 2007 was just over $500,000. Ti could easily draw enough in interest on $800,000 to hire two additional patrolmen and dedicate 100 percent of their time to airport security.
The towns justification for the fence is to keep people off the airport property. But do they seriously think terrorists and vandals would be confounded by a chain-link fence? The airport is still remote, and bolt cutters are pretty inexpensive.
A larger gate, more signage, lighting and security cameras would probably be just as effective as the fence and a lot more affordable.

Bailey got paid back for his first start, getting a 7I 1ER though 4 runs crossed "quality start". Mes should be the everyday catcher. Chapman still rocking, Reds bats finally explode.
Bailey got paid back for his first start, getting a 7I 1ER though 4 runs crossed "quality start". Mes should be the everyday catcher. Chapman still rocking, Reds bats finally explode.
Way to go, Reds! That's more like it!
Chapman still looks unhittable. I really do think he'd make a good starter, only throws 10 pitches an inning, so he'd never get to 100 pitches in an outing.
Sounds like a great game for the Reds! Missed it at work...but great to see Stubbs hitting. He may just be the key to the O.
I must say, I do like Jay at the 4 spot. I think he should stay there once BP is back in the lineup, which I don't think will be in Chicago.
"And this one belongs to the Reds!"
I don't care who the wins come against. Just win.
Heads of state that ride and wrangle. That look at your face from more than one angle. Can cut you from their bloated budgets. Like sharpened knives through Chicken McNuggets.
A win is a win and we need any win at all right now. There playing vs. major league talent so I dont like the argument that it was only vs. the Cubs. I like Bruce hitting 4th also and I hope he continues to go opposite feild.

The rider who wins on Alpe-d'Huez often goes on to win in Paris, as Carlos Sastre underlined in 2008. With just two stages to follow, this could turn into a 109.5km mountain sprint.
There is little chance to warm up before the course reaches the 34km ascent comprising the Télégraphe and the epic north face of the Galibier. There are sure to be some breaks, with riders hoping they can defend their advantage on the long descent into Bourg d'oisans and onto the first ramps of the alpe, where the winner will climb into Tour history.
Details -
Distance: 109.5 km
Highest point: 2,556m
Category: High mountains
Sean Yates says...
"The Alpe d'Huez may be legendary, but it's actually not that hard. I expect Schleck and Contador to be head and shoulders above the rest. Hopefully for Sky, Brad Wiggins and Rigoberto Uran should be well placed on GC two days from the end."

Hamilton captures 8-AAA boys basketball title over White Station, 81-78
MVP K.J. Lawson scores 28
Hamilton coach Keelon Lawson said his team's practice routine this past week was "run 'em hard and make 'em shoot free throws," he said as he cradled the fruits of that labor — the Region 8-AAA championship plaque his Wildcats had just claimed by holding off White Station, 81-78, on Thursday night at Central.
"First one we've won since 2006, when we took the state title," Lawson said. And his two sons, K.J. and Dedric, delivered when it counted as the Wildcats won for the first time in four tries against the Spartans (30-2), with all four games decided by five or fewer points.
Hamilton will be at home Monday night against Dyer County, while White Station will look to get back to the state tournament with a win at Region 7 champion Arlington.
Tourney MVP K.J., a junior committed to Memphis, scored 18 of his 28 points in the first half as the Wildcats (27-6) rolled to a 40-31 halftime lead against the cold-shooting Spartans. Dedric, a 6-8 sophomore who added 21 points, went on a late tear in the third to stretch the lead to 62-43.
"We didn't hit free throws in the other games, and we didn't control the pace. We didn't value possessions like we needed to," K.J. Lawson said. "We also caught them a bit cold early, but we know they're good shooters."
White Station stars LeRon Black, an Illinois signee, and Florida-bound Chris Chiozza battled foul trouble and both fouled out late, with Black scoring just six points and Chiozza seven. The Spartans' secondary firepower finally got a spark and rolled up 30 fourth-quarter points. Ladarius Coleman found room inside to score seven of his 20 points. Nych Smith hit two of his four 3-pointers and all four of his free throws for 10 of his 18.
Sophomore reserve Dillon Mitchell had seven of his nine points in the period, including a four-point play that made it 70-67 with three minutes left. Smith banked a 3-pointer with 1:05 to play, evening the score at 75.
Dedric Lawson hit four free throws to make it 80-76. "I just had to stay calm, somehow," he said.
After a layup by Phillips, K.J. went to the line with 4.6 seconds left, hit a free throw to make it a three-point game — then had the second wiped out by a lane violation. Smith's final three-point try bounced off the back iron.
"We started slow, and we weren't allowed to play physical like they (Hamilton) were," Chiozza said. "It's OK; we'll just make it 4-1 (in the state tournament)."
Other games
Region 7-AAA at Bolton: Senior K.J. Bates had 22 points as the Tigers (27-4) held off a furious fourth-quarter comeback by Dyer County (25-5) for an 83-79 victory. It is the first regional title for Arlington, which also got 17 points from C.J. Anderson, 16 from Nathan Hoover, 13 from Cody Hailstock and 11 from Adarius Avery. The Choctaws, last year's state AAA runners-up, got 32 points from Jemeereo Spain and a second straight 21-point effort from Malik Pugh.
Region 8-AA at Fairley: Rayford Albright had 27 points and Courtney Smith added 17 as Manassas (24-8) won the title with a 78-71 decision over Covington (19-14), which was led by 17 points from Bobby Shanks.
Region 8-A at Mitchell: Jeremiah Martin had 22 points as the host Tigers (26-6) pulled away to a 65-44 win over BTW (24-7) in the final. Tyree Beason led the Warriors with 17.

Heat Level:
Our hero, Miles Diamond, narrowly averts financial catastrophe when he is hired by David Travis to find his missing twin brother. Unfortunately, Miles' new case almost immediately throws him into a dangerous world of sex trafficking, drugs and international terrorism where he is soon in as much danger as the man he is trying to find. So far, Miles has survived an attempt to drown him, a bomb aboard an airplane, a pitched gun battle, a fall from the roof of Notre Dame Cathedral and enough hot sex to bring an ordinary man to his knees.
Part 5: Miles and his pals arrive in Morocco and are immediately sidetracked by a sinister drug smuggler who whisks them up into the remote Atlas Mountains. After several tense days, the crew make their escape. They arrive in the fabled city of Marrakech where the action and danger intensifies as they draw closer to the elusive twin. The action reaches fever pitch in a derelict hotel where Miles makes one last heroic effort to save himself, his friends—and the money.

Miguel Cabrera Homers In All-Star Game [VIDEO]

CBS DETROIT – Detroit Tigers superstar Miguel Cabrera ended a streak of 11 games without a home run when he smacked a two-run blast in his first at bat in Tuesday night's MLB All-Star Game.
Cabrera, who started at first base for the American League and hit clean-up, made headlines before the game when he told a USA Today reporter Monday that the injury from last season still bothered him, but Tuesday he insisted he felt fine.
Cabrera's power has been lower than usual in the first half of this season, just as it was in the second half of last season. He entered the All-Star break with a .306 batting average, .534 slugging percentage, 34 doubles and 14 home runs.

Atwood Concert Hall is undergoing a transition into a fairyland this week. Specifically, the enchanted world of "Shrek." Actors, musicians, costumers and stage crews are conducting tech rehearsals -- tweaking sets, fixing bugs, adjusting costumes, running new cast members through their scenes -- in Anchorage for the musical that opens its North American tour here on Friday.
"It makes sense to start the tour there," said associate producer Angela Rowles. "One thing the Alaska Center for the Performing Arts offers is that it has a variety of spaces available. We have the smaller theater where we can work while sets are being loaded into the Atwood. It lets us do several things at once."
The availability and size of the facility is also a factor, she said. The cast includes 27 performers with a full crew of about 50 traveling with the show.
Another motivator for the production company, Networks Presentations, is the time saved by putting Alaska at one end of the schedule.
The next stop on the tour will be Omaha, Neb., and it will take about a week to transport the sets and costumes there.
"Normally, if we try to take a show to Anchorage, we have to take off almost an entire week each way," Rowles said.
"Those are days when we're not making any money. By starting it there, we can fly everyone in and don't have as much down time. It cuts off half that expense."
Watching the bottom line is important, even for a box office success.
"Shrek" was a sensational success long before it went on stage. William Steig created the parody fairy-tale of a young ogre who leaves home to see the world in a popular children's book published in 1990.
It was named "Best Children's Books of the Year" by Publishers Weekly.
DreamWorks' animated film version, which heavily revised the plot of the book, came out in 2001. "Shrek" was a rare movie that was as popular with the public as it was with the critics. It won the first ever Academy Award for Best Animated Feature, set a record for home video sales and spawned a cinema franchise.
The musical version hit Broadway just before Christmas, 2008, receiving several nominations for major theater prizes and picking up the Tony Award for best costumes. The film-to-stage transition wasn't as simple as with, say, "Beauty and the Beast."
"Unlike other animated movies, there were no songs in 'Shrek'," said Bill Damaschke, chief creative officer for DreamWorks Animation, who oversees both the artistic direction of the studio's animated movie projects and the company's live theatrical productions.
"The first and most important thing was to figure out how it would 'sing' on stage," Damaschke told the Daily News.
"There were creative solutions to the theatrical questions," like a fire-breathing dragon, a singing donkey, an ogre and a girl who turns into an ogre. "But you needed the music."
To help them come up with songs, the team of composer Jeanine Tesori and lyricist David Lindsay-Abaire came into the first meeting with a list of questions, Damaschke said. Like: "How did Shrek get in the swamp?" "How does the dragon feel about all the knights coming to rescue Fiona but not caring about her?" "Why is Farquaad so angry at the fairy people?"
The answers to those queries informed 19 songs and musical numbers.
"The music expands out the story," Damaschke said. "It includes plots and subplots that weren't directly in the film." Where the film ran about 80 minutes, he said, the two-act stage version is 2 hours and 20 minutes, including intermission.
On the technical side, costumes and makeup had to be figured out.
The title character was the biggest challenge, Damaschke said. "The costume has to be Shrek, but it also has to connect to the soul of the actor. We need to see his eyes. It has to be as compelling as the character in the movie. And it has to attach to the actor's face. We built lots of different versions, did lots of tests, trial and error."
"'Shrek' is all about the costumes," said Rowles. "The large dressing room and wardrobe facilities were another reason for teching the show in Anchorage. We need space to fit and alter costumes for the cast."
Damaschke spoke by phone from London, where a production of the show is running. "I went to see the actor playing Shrek get into his makeup and costume," he said. "It's 90 minutes, every night. You can't do short cuts.
"But the actors know that. They actually use it as a tool to get into character."
In addition to the "Shrek" series, Damaschke has worked on DreamWorks' "Madagascar," "Kung Fu Panda" and "How to Train Your Dragon" projects.
There's a long list of animated films planned out through 2016.
"Movies take so long to make nowadays," he said. "It's a minimum of four years. I think because of that, we work on the stories we choose to tell from the beginning as if they can be classics for generations."
Among his current projects is an arena tour based on "How to Train Your Dragon" produced in collaboration with the Australian company that created "Walking with Dinosaurs."
"I think we've created a new type of entertainment," Damaschke said. "Take the spectacle of 'Walking with Dinosaurs,' add flying, fire, projection work and the story of the movie."
Technology makes the story easier to tell, both on screen and on stage, he said.
"It makes new visions possible. But I think people will always want the same thing, a great story, to be engaged and, particularly, to be surprised."
Surprised by the action on stage, not because something doesn't go as planned.
Part of Rowles' job is to make sure the show goes smoothly, and the Anchorage tech rehearsals are key to that.
Networks Productions has previously brought shows like "Beauty and the Beast," "Wizard of Oz" and "Hairspray" to Anchorage. Rowles herself was a performer when "Sesame Street Live" came to town some years ago.
"The design team is excited that we're having rehearsals in Anchorage," she said. "A lot of the creative team that doesn't normally travel with the show is coming in. For so many people, Alaska is one of those places we never get to visit."
The benefit of kicking off the tour here extend beyond North America, she added.
"We spent our summer in Asia and just finished four weeks in Shanghai," she said. "Our set has been on a slow boat from China, literally, coming to Anchorage.
In June the company will wrap up its North American touring production of "Mary Poppins" in Anchorage, she said.
"After that, we're taking the show to Asia and the 'Mary Poppins' sets will make the reverse trip from Anchorage to Shanghai."

As if singing Karaoke on TV wasn't humiliating enough, Japanese game show Sing What Happens took the humiliation to a whole new level by forcing men to sing Karaoke while hot Asian girls jerk them off. So now, instead of just trying to make it through three minutes without making the audience's ears bleed, they know have to focus on not blowing their load too early.

Friends with benefits and he has a girlfriend.
Friends with benefits: Is it a good idea? He has a girlfriend and I want him something awful. We have fooled around before a little, but nothing to... Show More
Most Helpful Opinion
FWB are such a complex issue. Even when you don't know the person emotions get in the way. In your specific case, you already know him, so later on, it might come back to haunt you, as you might get more emotionally attached than what you already are. Based on that don't do it.
And that's not even mentioning the fact that what you're doing is morally wrong, but since people are selfish and don't respect relationships nowadays, no surprise there.
Totally agree.
Wow, you really know how to snap someone back to reality. Thanks for the advice.
What Guys Said 5
Nope, it's never a good idea. Without a SOLID relationship, it will only lead to hurt and heartache. If you can't be friends and only friends, you need to break it off with him. His girlfriend will be hurt by this, and this guy doesn't deserve her. If he's cheating on her, he'll likely cheat on you too. He's not worth your time. Don't make that mistake, it'll only hurt you in the long run.
I think it's cool that you are thinking about this ahead of time instead of rushing in and causing all kinds of hurt for yourself. Thinking about doing something immoral is not immoral - it's only in the actions that we define ourselves.
I'm amazed by the number of women who post here with comments that basically mean: Wow, he wants to have sex with me, guess I should since a man wanting a woman (me) is so amazing. He's a guy. Of course he wants to have sex with you. I'm sure lots of guys do. Don't be amazed by that -use it to your advantage by being picky and finding the one who will be best for you emotionally and physically.
What Girls Said 2
I would never want to be the other woman. In theory the whole friends with benefits thing sounds like such a good idea, but as humans we have feelings and as far as what I've seen- someone always ends up getting hurt. Whether it's you, him or his girlfriend. I wouldn't want to be partially responsible for causing unnecessary heart ache. I suggest finding someone single to get some loving from. If he's a real "friend" you wouldn't want to put him in a situation which requires him being dishonest to his girlfriend. OR someday when you're in a relationship would you want your man to have a friend with benefits? What goes around comes around. Think about it.
I totally agree with you. I have said that to myself. I really want a relationship with him. For him to love me and he does, but my hormones are getting in the way of what is right. I don't want to mess him up, but. I know it is selfish of me to want this.
- Show Older Hide Older
I understand..needed 2 hear it from someone else on the outside...What kind of person would that make me....or him? Neither of us is like that and I am turning into something I don't like. Oh, he is driving me crazy though...i have to respect him and her
I would refrain from talking to him about sexual things- it may help keep your hormones at bay. Let him know if he wants to be with you he needs to have the decency to break up with his girlfriend out of respect for both of you.
I have been the other woman. It's not that great. At first, I was getting back at the *cough whore *cough that my ex boyfriend cheated on me with and then got with after I broke up with him. But I stooped to that girl's level and became the whore and didn't like it. I got her back and was friends with benifits with my ex, but it just hurt me in the end. He never came back to me, I turned into the booty call. Don't be that other girl. This guy, he is sleezy for cheating on his girlfriend. If he is happy in his relationship, even if he is cheating, he isn't going to leave her for you. Us woman should stick together and not let men cheat, especially when we know they have a girlfriend (and vice versa guys). If you want lovin', go find it elsewhere, because what you are getting doesn't belong to you.

"The quality was better than I imagined! I picked the pearl finish instead of the matte and I am SO glad I did. It cost a little extra but I felt like it was worth it. My invitations came out beautiful and elegant. The rose gold foil really added to the card's elegance. It was exactly what I wanted and I was very, very happy with it! It even came before the expected date. The process was really easy. When I called to ask a question, I was helped by a really nice lady who answered all my questions and made it easy for me. And when I emailed to change and add something on my invitations during the review process, they did exactly what I wanted and everything was done in a timely manner. I asked to personalize the card by adding "Together with their parents" at the top of the card and it turned out great. I wanted the parents to be included in the invitation. Loved it."
"The invitation came out great. On the backside of the invite, I chose the red/maroon color with hotel accommodations listed. In the picture the red/maroon did not look like it matched the blossoms on the front too well. When I received it, the colors matched perfectly!! i have had so many comments about how simple, but beautiful the invite is!"
"These cards are great - simple and elegant. They arrived super quickly and the customer service / designer that assisted us was fantastic. The process was smooth and effortless."
"This invitation was exactly what we were looking for! It has our wedding colors on it. I love how you can personalize it with whatever font you like. We ordered it on the shimmery paper and loved the turnout. Can't wait to get them ready and send them out! Thank you Wedding Paper Divas! They are beautiful."
"I really liked this design, but I was nervous that it would be hard to communicate my tweaks without meeting someone in person. I made a couple of tweaks, and the team was able to complete all of them and they made the product even better than I was thinking. Really easy process and the took minimal effort on my end!"

Palestinians Fast In Israeli Prisons
Published: August 16, 2004
JERUSALEM, Aug. 15— Thousands of Palestinian prisoners in Israeli jails, both civilian and military, began a hunger strike on Sunday, taking only fluids, to press for better conditions, a halt to strip searches, more access to telephones and more frequent family visits. There are more than 7,500 Palestinians in detention, about half of those for violence against Israelis.
A prison service spokesman said that more than half of the 3,800 Palestinians in civilian jails were on a hunger strike. The Israeli minister for internal security, Tzahi Hanegbi, said: ''As far as I'm concerned they can strike for a day, a month, until death. We will ward off this strike.''
Other officials said that prisoners would be given infusions if necessary, and that privileges like cigarettes, sweets and television were taken away from the strikers.
