Frequently Asked Questions
What codes are you referring to?
Many of the states that have instant lottery tickets, or scratch off tickets, will use a code consisting of two or three letters to indicate a winning prize amount. These codes are not intended for players to rely on, but on some of the more complicated tickets, knowing these codes may help.
View Example Ticket
What are the "Other Code Combinations" used for?
They are used for the search feature. If someone has a winning ticket for $1.00 and they type "OEN" into the search box, there would be no results for that code.
What does the little blue man on the right side mean?
That little man, we'll call him Steve, indicates that a user submitted that code. If you click on Steve, he'll slide the page down so you can read their comment.
Why aren't there any codes listed on my state's page?
When I emailed all of the state lotteries, not all of them were willing to give me the codes. So, if you know any of the codes, you can leave a comment on that specific page.
If I do a search for a code and there aren't any results, is the ticket a loser?
Not necessarily… I don't have 100% of all the codes and even if I did, some states don't have codes for big winners. I would recommend taking your ticket into a lottery retailer and have them scan the ticket.
Why was my comment removed from the site?
From time to time, I remove comments in order to keep the page clean and free of comments that don't provide any helpful information for visitors. A common comment that gets removed is asking what a certain code means. If nobody responds within a few days, it will get removed.
How do I get my picture to show up when I leave a comment?
The avatar that you see next to a person's comment is loaded from Gravatar. You can find out more by going
Why does the page look weird?

Posted at: 07/22/2013 10:11 AM
BRUSSELS (AP) - European Union foreign ministers are calling for the release of ousted Egyptian President Mohammed Morsi.
The ministers called in a joint statement Monday for "the release of all political detainees, including Mohammed Morsi" and listed it among their key priorities for the new leadership in Cairo.
Morsi's relatives have accused the country's military generals of "kidnapping" him, and say that they hold the army responsible for his "safety and security."
Mori's family has had no contact with him since his July 3 ouster by the army, which came on the heels of massive popular protests against the rule of the Muslim Brotherhood-affiliated president.
The 28 EU ministers insisted Egypt must quickly move to an "inclusive democratic transformation process," including elections at the earliest possible time.

FAA To Order Safety Checks on Boeing 767 Aircraft
Jan 27, 2014 7:00 am
Skift Take
The FAA is ordering a permanent fix of a problem it discovered about 13 years ago. The safety inspections appear to be more than a bit tardy, and they are another blotch on Boeing's record.
U.S. aviation regulators plan to order safety checks of more than 400 Boeing Co 767 jets because of movable tail sections that may jam and possibly cause some pilots to lose control of the aircraft, according to a report in The Wall Street Journal [subscription] on Sunday.
An order by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), set for publication in Monday's Federal register, calls for beefed up inspections of a flight control mechanism, known as an "elevator," which helps planes climb and descend, the business daily reported.

|Trahan Architects - Holy Rosary Church Complex
|Friday, 20 June 2008 03:08
Trahan Architects wanted to relay the spiritual atmosphere of the church complex through its architecture. The project is an honest exploration of form, function, natural light and materials, providing an engaging and profound study in sacred space.
The master plan of the rural campus creates a strong sense of place for all functions of the Parish, drawing a distinction between the program's sacred and secular components. Secular components of the campus take form as linear or "edge" buildings framing a courtyard where the oratory is located. Traversing the courtyard in a clockwise direction, the path leads ultimately to the oratory. In the opposite direction, the path leads always back to the community.
The transition into the oratory's sacred space is also celebrated through an experience of light. A single threshold containing a sculptural cast-glass door has been designed to gather and refract light. Lens-shaped in plan, the door's glass structure varies in dimension across its width, narrowest at its edge, 12 mm, and widest at its center, 75 mm. When approached, edges of the door appear to glow with the illumination from within.

Economists Against Economics
NOVEMBER 03, 2006 by Sheldon Richman
Five economists who either won the Nobel Prize in economics or who served as president of the American Economic Association -- and three who did both -- recently joined over 600 other economists in urging the federal government to increase the minimum wage. The signatures were gathered by the union-backed Economic Policy Institute (EPI), which unsurprisingly supports substantial government intervention in the economy.
I guess this is supposed to make us think more of the minimum wage. Instead, it makes me think less of the Nobel Prize in economics and the American Economic Association.

And the vast majority of that increase is due to the War on Drugs.

This is the implementation he's talking about. Use of true spinlocks can cause a deadlock. Libpthread doesn't use spinlocks so it doesn't have this problem.

When the proper height is calculated, draw a line to use as a guide when creating the mortar bed slope. If the shower is larger, it will be necessary to add blocking between the wall studs to accommodate the height of the mortar.
The mortar sits right on the subfloor. All waterproofing will be done after the drain body and mortar bed are installed.

" Brand: Tesco / Type: Sponge "
===Why I Got This===
Well I must say we do not have a baby in the house, and I was not even really after a bath sponge, but while shopping online at Tesco Grocery I was searching for make-up sponges - which were not there - but seeing that these baby sponges were only 60p for 2 I thought I would buy them anyway and perhaps cut them up to use for my make-up.
===The Product===
'Ideal for keeping baby clean and fresh.'
4 x 2 inches and made in UK.
Warning - small parts could be bitten off.
Two round sponges in a clear plastic packet.
The sponges are a pale yellow/creamy colour.
60p for a pack of 2.
===My Opinion===
It has been many years since I bothered buying a bath sponge but now I am really glad that I have bought these baby sponges.
They are very soft and squishy and a perfect size - even for adults to use. The roundness, combined with the smaller size means they can be held in your hand much more easily than the normal adult size sponges. It s a much softer sort of sponge than the everyday ordinary bath sponge and is really soft to use. I use mine now for showers and baths and they are a super size, soft, lather up well and rinse out really easily. The packet states to 'rinse in clean water and dry in a well ventilated area' - personally after rinsing I give it a good squeeze and then pop it on top of the bathroom radiator - so even if the heating is off the air circulates and it dries out easily.
I am still only using my first one and although I think I could cut the second one up as make-up sponges I do not think I will as I would rather use it for its original purpose when the times comes to get rid of my first one and search out some proper cosmetic sponges for my foundation. The texture of these sponges would be fine for make-up but I am not sure if I could cut it tidily enough.
Although I have not used this sponge on a baby I can see that it is soft and small enough to use and at this price it can be changed regularly if needed to ensure it is as hygienic as possible.
===Star Rating===
5 stars.
===Would I Recommend?===

-Thats not competition, LeBron said. Thats like you rooting for your family members. Thats not competition at all. It would be great to have him, but well see.
The problem w/ Derek Cox is the Jags are making every effort to keep him and may use the franchise tag if needed.
You're looking more at Brent Grimes, Cary Williams, Chris Houston and Antoine Cason.
If you knew Grimes would be healthy and not lose his athletic ability after the Achilles tear, you'd be on him all day. But that's not realistic. A corner makes his living off his speed and athleticism, especially Grimes who is a particularly small corner. You can't expect a guy off an Achilles tear to suffer no lasting effects. Unrealistic.
Cason would be a decent option. Very consistent technique. Perfect for a "bend don't break" defense.
Twitter: @ckparrot
you guys saw how suggs looked coming off an achilles...pretty much a shell of himself...i can see the same scenario with grimes in year 1 back from injury...small corner as others have said...if he loses anything speed and quickness wise it's gonna be a problem...
i'm with the antoine cason crowd if cox is getting tagged or resigned...but just don't expect a whole lot of playmaking with cason...bend but don't break corner is exactly what i see as well...
it's either that or i'm looking at keenan lewis market...and if need be drafting keenan lewis light with better tools coming out in robert alford...

I would walk away from Sean Smith at $8 to $10 million but not because of physical shortcomings. It's not because I don't trust him to cover small/quick guys. I would walk away from that kind of money because Sean Smith is too inconsistent in his technique to pay that kind of money. He doesn't give up big plays because of physical shortcomings. He gives up big plays because he turns the wrong way, steps with the wrong foot, gets turned around, etc. Antoine Cason is very consistent with his technique but doesn't flash the kind of ability to aggressively erase players that Sean Smith flashes. Sean Smith has shown the ability to erase any kind of receiver with physical and aggressive coverage, but his technique is just bafflingly inconsistent.
yeah but smiths a corner that even when he has a guy locked down he cannot find the football...after i rewatched that indy game for the 3rd time and saw him leave the deep crossing wr to the safety textbook and drop right underneath the deep post perfectly and then get turned around somehow inexcusably while the ball was in flight to hilton for the td i decided i had had enough...
it's just baffling...at $8 mil per ready to move on...even if i have to pay another average guy comparably...
if we had control of vontaes rights for the next year right now instead of trading him for what became a late 2nd rounder we wouldn't be in this pickle right now...we could walk away and still be alright...instead we get a late 2nd rounder and have a need to fill at cb...a hole right now...well good luck getting anything close to vontaes physical tools and talents that late...corners will go fast
When I die I want to hire the Miami Dolphin's to be my pallbearers so they can let me down one last time.
If Antoine Cason is asking $8 to $10 million I would walk away from him as well. I'd rather pay Sean Smith that kind of money than Antoine Cason. The point on Antoine Cason is that he'll be cheaper.
I think we should use our second 3rd round pick on Mississippi State's Darius Slay. He doesn't get all the pub that Johnthan Banks gets, but he is a ball hawk who knows how to get picks, and also can tackle, which Sean Smith seems to do only when he is in the mood.

12 Effects Google Personal Search Will Have on SEO, Blogging, Social Media and the Web as Whole
Image: Personal Preference by Kevin Dooley.
Google gets personal: Now everybody will get personalized search results based on their search habits in the past unless they opt out in a tedious process. So most people won't opt out or even notice at all, at least at first.
- The rich will get richer, that is the attention rich. Those sites that have a brand and/or audience already will profit from Google personal search results. The sites people already click most often will rank on top. Wikipedia will dominate even more.
- People will get confused. "Yesterday it was there when I checked it at home!" might become a common exclamation in the near future. People switching computers (home/mobile/work) will face different results unless they use all of them in a highly similar manner.
- SEOs will finally focus on conversions and ROI. Lazy SEOs still stick to rankings no matter how profitable they are. Checking rankings will become even more pointless from now on. Conversions and ROI are key to measuring success now more than ever.
- John Doe bloggers will end up marginalized. You have below 50 subscribers? These people will find you on Google. The others won't anymore as Wikipedia, NYT, CNN, BBC and Yahoo as well as Huffington Post, TechCrunch and Engadget etc. will push you further down.
- Social Media sites will get more user generated content (UGC) as people will try to get some traffic from the few remaining behemoth sites lucky enough to get clicked in search results often enough to get a push.
- The Web will become boring. People will visit more and more of the same sites. It will become more and more difficult to find new things, original sources and small time publishers.
- SEO noobs will try to convince you that SEO is dead. SEO is dead all the time. Even I said so, but I meant a different thing than the people who have no clue about SEO. I meant that SEO has changed in a way that you wouldn't recognize it as the SEO we're accustomed to. The "SEO is dead" bunch assumes that personal search results can't get optimized. Of course they can.
- More group blogs will emerge to make sure to get at least the same attention as some big name bloggers and news outlets.
- Old and new social filters might re/appear. As people will want to rely on crowdsourcing rather than their own limited search habits they'll look after ways to determine what's good and what not with a little help of their friends.
- Google will gain even more power and your privacy will become a thing of the past. Google knows what you are searching for but now it will tell your family, flat mates or coworkers. So make sure not to use Google for that xxx stuff in case you want to keep your deviations private.
- The sheer number of people ranking a site on top will push it for others as well. Finally click through data will become the new Google PageRank. When 1000 people click your link repeatedly in the search results you can't be wrong can you?
- You will have to optimize your blog for returning visitors in order to get search traffic, even first timers. This contradiction will lead to some new hitherto unknown SEO tactics.
Btw. Danny Sullivan expected this to happen since 2001. In an article called "Google May get Personal" he also explains why one of the personal search results startups failed though:
People "were afraid to miss something".
My head is already buzzing with ideas on how to optimize for Google personal search (even if it's still just called Google). That's the great thing about SEO. It never gets stale. You always have to come up with new things to please Google and search users. Also most people don't get it and thus SEO will live forever.
What tactics do you plan to employ to attract Google personal search visitors?
Suggestions in the comments might get used in my next blog post either here. That means a link to the source.

Posts from the 'Khon Kaen' Category
NEWS IN BRIEF: Khon Kaen Green Market to Open November 7
Khon Kaen will open a green market this Friday, November 7, from 3 – 7 p.m. at Bueng Kaen Nakhon near the Bua Luang Restaurant. Teerasuk Teekayupun, the mayor of Khon Kaen, is set to speak at the opening of the market.
Government and public health officials, NGOs, farmers, and other interested parties have spent the last two months planning for the Khon Kaen Green Market.
The idea for opening a green market came from members of the Khon Kaen Expat Association (KKEA), a public group of foreigners based in Khon Kaen. Josh Macknick, 34, a local business owner, says of the market's origins that KKEA wanted to be "an active organization rather than reactive, and a green market is something that can be a joint project with Thais."
Despite being one of the 'Big 4 Cities of Isaan,' Khon Kaen is still lagging far behind its smaller counterparts in other Northeastern provinces when it comes to providing people with fresh organic produce.
Until now, local organic produce has only been available through small independent sellers, at TOPS Supermarket, and at green markets in nearby provinces. The market will contain several zones, including an education zone, a fresh produce zone, and a ready-made food zone. Currently, there are 67 booths registered to sell; vendors will be coming from Khon Kaen and surroundings areas, as well as Mahasarakham and Phetchabun.
See the Facebook page for directions to the market.
Guest contribution to The Isaan Record by Jenny Vainberg
KHON KAEN – Since the May 22 coup d'état, Thailand's military has tried to sweep the country clean of weapons to quell fears of a violent uprising. But in Isaan, the heartland of the Red Shirts, some of the soldiers' actions have raised doubts about the military's intentions. Red Shirts here believe that the military may be wrongly framing peaceful Red Shirts as violent terrorists in a high-profile legal case, which could set the stage for a wider crackdown on Red Shirts in the region.
On May 23, soldiers raided an apartment building in Khon Kaen city and arrested around twenty people allegedly involved in a terrorist plot. The military claims the plot, known as the 'Khon Kaen Model,' was designed to incite violence in Khon Kaen. In the following days, they arrested additional suspects in their homes, bringing the total number of the accused to twenty-four.
Soldiers reported that they seized grenades, ammunition, and gas tanks at the site of the apartment building. After interrogating the suspects, the military announced what they found to be the Khon Kaen Model's master plan: mobilize anti-coup supporters, disarm authorities, force financial institutions to give money to the poor, and declare a nationwide "zero debt" policy.
It's the kind of story that plays right into the conservatives' two biggest fears: militant Red Shirts and Thaksin's populism.
The Khon Kaen Model case preceded the military's nationwide call to civilians to dispose of all firearms. On June 3, the military ordered that all handguns, legal or illegal, be surrendered or thrown away within a week, or else gun owners risked facing up to 20 years behind bars. According to one 2011 report, there are an estimated ten million civilian firearms in the country, which lands Thailand in tenth place worldwide for the most guns in civilian possession.
Red Shirts and those close to the accused in the Khon Kaen Model case insist it is not a clandestine plan of a militant revolt, as the military claims, but part of a broader campaign for social justice and equality. A relative of one of the arrested explained that the group only gathered that day to discuss Red Shirts' peaceful responses to the coup.
She and many others interviewed by the Isaan Record asked to remain anonymous for fear of retribution.
A staff member of the apartment building, who saw the arrests take place, also said the group seemed to be meeting peaceably. "In the media, the reports were overblown. What happened from what I saw was they didn't rent a whole floor, they weren't staying two months, they just stayed one day, and weren't even sleeping there. There was never any plan to stay for a long time." The staff member never saw any weapons enter or leave the apartment building.
A relative of another of the accused described how more than a dozen soldiers arrived at her house in a village outside of the city a few days after the arrest. The soldiers did not produce a warrant, but they searched her entire house. They left without finding any weapons but confiscated only a red hat and a United Front for Democracy Against Dictatorship (UDD) form, she claimed.
Relatives and villagers close to the defendants told Benjarat Meethien, the lawyer of the accused, that soldiers have been searching the homes of at least some of the men awaiting trial. The wives feel threatened by these unexpected visits, and they think their husbands are innocent. "The villagers told me that when soldiers armed with guns enter the villages unannounced, it terrifies them," said Ms. Benjarat.
Beyond the families of the accused, other Red Shirts around Khon Kaen wonder about the implications of this case. "The news accounts of the 'Khon Kaen Model' have gone overboard," said one Red Shirt organizer, who knows a handful of the men involved in the case. "But the military has never been on our side." He fears that cases like this one could give credence to more arrests of Red Shirts in the region, even though the majority of Red supporters are nonviolent.
Still, a number of small Red Shirt groups that organize "defensive trainings" have cropped up over the years, which the military could perceive as a threat to their rule. One source explained her anger over the arrests on May 23, but she also described her involvement in an underground defense training that taught her and a hundred others how to use BB guns, in case of attack.
The defendants' lawyer expects the trial to take place at the end of June. At the time of writing, none of the accused had been released on bail. In the military court system, there are no appeals.
Khon Kaen University Law students filed a complaint against Thailand's Office of the Ombudsman on Monday in regards to the recent Constitutional Court decision to invalidate the February 2 congressional election.
The student-run human rights group, Dao Din, argued that the Office of the Ombudsman did not have the authority to forward the February 2 election case to the Constitutional Court. They also requested financial compensation for the cost of traveling to the polls on February 2 and for the retraction of their political right to vote.
"I feel that the court has lost their legitimacy," said Jatupat Boonpattararaksa, a 23-year-old law student at Khon Kaen University and member of Dao Din. "They have made a mistake and created a dead end for Thailand."
Before filing the complaint on Monday, Dao Din staged a skit in front of Khon Kaen's Administrative Court mocking the Constitutional Court judges and depicting what they consider to be the court's "silent coup."
After the demonstration, members of Dao Din affirmed their commitment to democracy and read the group's official position on the political crisis that has gradually unravelled Thailand's elected government.
"We don't want a reformed government or one that comes from the military, through the independent agencies, or through any power which overthrows the democratic system by undemocratic forces," the group's official statement said.
A group of academics known as the Assembly for the Defence of Democracy (AFDD) also criticised the Office of Ombudsman's actions on Monday. In an official statement, the AFDD argued that the Office of the Ombudsman can only forward complaints to the Constitutional Court that concern the constitutionality of legal provisions, which they argue the "the holding of a general election" does not fall under.
Khon Kaen Promotes Female Leadership
KHON KAEN—In a run up to International Women's Day today, Khon Kaen hosted a regional event focusing on the role of women in Northeastern Thai society on March 4. The ceremonies, sponsored by government agencies, featured a market with women entrepreneurs, awards for women leaders, and a keynote speech by former senator, Dr. Krasae Chanawongse.
Dr. Krasae's speech emphasized education, the role of Buddhism, and leadership, and it drew on a traditional description of a good woman: "Know how to use words, know how to work, know how to be generous."
Audience members were invited to share their impressions of Dr. Krasae's speech. One woman said to the audience of 500 overwhelmingly women, "The main idea is that giving, and not receiving, will make you a better person."
Those sharing were presented with Dr. Krasae's book, Success is Reachable.
Women from Khon Kaen province were recognized for outstanding achievements in 12 themed areas. Among those receiving awards was Ms. Pithayaporne Sukkho, 47, from Chonnabot district who was recognized for efforts toward "environmental care." After encountering health problems with chemical-based dyes, Ms. Pithayaporne developed a system to make organic dyes with leaves and flowers. Her entire community has since adopted the method. "If we don't start now, then there's no one who will," she commented about organic dyes.
Ms. Pithayaporne also expressed that women needed to organize among themselves and not just come together when "there is government funding." She said, "Being more serious about holding women's eventscan change women's lives."
This year's annual event is in its twelfth year. Its organizers wanted to focus on family, community and local government, and to build ways for women to step up, become educated, and get involved in public life.
An entrepreneur selling her woven handicrafts outside the meeting hall, Kannika Unkam, 44, from Khon Kaen was more skeptical. "Selling my products doesn't really empower me. Even though I own my own business I don't think I am equal to men."
Ms. Kannika also questioned the choice of asking a man to give the keynote speech. "The speaker should have been a woman. Today is about women's power, so a woman should have spoken." As she had come to the event to sell her crafts, she was unable to attend the keynote or awards ceremony.
She noted that the role of women had changed a lot. Before there were no women leaders, she said, "but today we can see that women have stepped into leadership roles like village headperson."
In 2004 women represented only 5.6 percent of Tambon Organization Administration (TAO) ministers in the Northeast, while in 2011 that number increased to 12.41 percent.
One attendee, a graduate student working on women's issues at Khon Kaen University, observed that there was very little in the event about the status of women in the Northeast or the challenges facing them. "I expected or hoped to hear about the current status of women and the direction of a women's movement," she said. "But today the goal seemed to be to give awards, compliment women, and to show examples. There was nothing concrete about the role or status of women in Thailand."
She said that Dr. Krasae "didn't talk specifically about women; he just talked about management. We are still under a patriarchy. Men do everything and they don't believe in women's ability."
In Thailand, statistics show that women still lag far behind men in terms of vying for public office. Ranked at 90 in the world for national public offices held by women by the Inter Parliamentary Union, women accounted for 15 percent of the parliament in 2013. In nearby Vietnam and Indonesia, women held 24 and 18 percent of the seats respectively.
PISA Thailand Regional Breakdown Shows Inequalities between Bangkok and Upper North with the Rest of Thailand
Guest Contributor: John Draper
As reported previously in The Isaan Record, there are clear inequalities in Thai students' academic achievement, and these are easily seen in official Ordinary National Educational Test (O-NET) Results by province. These results have been seen to broadly follow ethnolinguistic and class groupings, with Bangkok, home to wealthier ethnic Central Thais, noticeably outperforming other areas and ethnicities. This was visible in the fact that 15-16-year old Central Bangkok students achieved a mean score of 50.6/100% in the Thai language in 2010, compared to a mean of 39.0/100% for the median northeastern province, Mahasarakham – a difference of nearly 12%.
In an article in The Nation on December 5th, 2013, it was revealed that Thai students' results in the Organization for Economically Developed Countries' Programme for International Student Tests (PISA) had improved from 2009-2012. This test also looks at the achievement of Thai 15 year olds, with Thailand being one of 65 countries and economies involved.
The 2009 results were 421 in reading, 425 in science, and 419 in mathematics. The recently released 2012 results were 441 in reading, 444 in science, and 427 in mathematics. However, Dr. Sunee Klainin, the manager of the PISA Thailand Project, attributed the higher scores to the performance of demonstration schools and the Princess Chulabhorn's College schools. She also pointed out that half of Thai students tested did not achieve a Band 3 or higher in mathematics, while around a third did not achieve a Band 3 in science or reading.
What do these scores mean? The definitions of the PISA levels for reading and mathematics are available here. There are six bands for mathematics. Students testing in Band 3 or lower – half of Thai students aged 15 – means they have little problem-solving ability in mathematics.
Likewise, in reading, a third of Thai students aged 15 are not able to relate a text to everyday knowledge and find and link multiple parts of a text.
What about the regional breakdown for Thailand? To date, this has not been included in the PISA 2012 regional data sheet (available here), which lists regional breakdowns for 14 of the PISA countries and economies. In fact, the regional breakdown for Thailand has never been publicly reported in the media. However, a regional breakdown was reported in a technical document published by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) and the ASEAN Secretariat in late 2013.[i] (Also available from a web link on the OECD Centre for Development website, here).

Note: PISA scale was set such that approximately two-thirds of students across OECD countries score between 400 and 600 points. Gaps of 72, 62 and 75 points in reading, mathematics, and science scores, respectively, are equivalent to one proficiency level.
In math, the average Bangkok student scores half a PISA level higher than almost every other regionally-based student except in the Upper North, where Chiang Mai has been an academic powerhouse for some time. The Upper Northeast fares slightly better than the Lower Northeast likely because it includes the major urban centers of Khon Kaen and Udon Thani. Interestingly, the average Central region student also scores very low compared to the average Bangkok student, and this may be because of differences in the quality of the schools. One possible explanation for the much lower average score for a student in the South is because it includes the war-torn provinces of Yala, Narathiwat, and Pattani.
In science, there is a similar pattern. The average Bangkok student scores half a PISA level higher than almost every other regionally-based student except in the Upper North and the Upper Northeast, with the Upper Northeast still well behind Bangkok.
Can we correlate the statistics with ethnic identity? It certainly looks like the scores of the Northeast Thailand students can be correlated with the Thai Lao ethnolinguistic identity. In the Lower Northeast, where there are a million ethnic Khmers, the scores are lower, but without a detailed understanding of which provinces are included, it is difficult to say. What is interesting is that the average student from the Central Thai ethnolinguistic identity also scores low outside Bangkok.
One of the standard explanations for these differing scores is poverty. Poverty is certainly a factor in tertiary enrollment in Thailand.[ii] While poverty is also a factor in PISA achievement, the 2012 PISA figures note that the socio-economic background (class) of Thai students has an impact on both performance and the performance gap that is actually better than the OECD averages. Another issue then may be the inequality of access to resources, especially in more rural areas populated by ethnic minorities.
In response to the poor Thai PISA 2012 results, Professor Gerald Fry made five recommendations in an article in The Nation of December 23, 2013. He suggests additional factors in the low scores may be a lack of equity in resource allocation, an emphasis on quantity (buildings and personnel) rather than the quality of people, the lack of a strong reading culture, and a lack of expenditure on Research and Development. He also notes there is the possibility that students may be scoring low because their first language is not Thai. In other words, they may simply not understand the written instructions or how to write the short analyses in Thai required by the PISA tests.
Overall, the Thailand regional breakdown and the country PISA scores make for tragic results. Thailand is a whole PISA level behind the OECD averages of 494 for mathematics, 496 for reading and 501 for science. As also pointed out by Professor Fry in his article, it is also behind Vietnam, a newcomer to the PISA tests and a developing country compared to Thailand's status as a newly industrialized country.
The gap in PISA levels is the difference between 15-year-old Thai children being able to solve problems or not. And, for the first time we can see from the PISA statistics themselves where those differences are geographically. They are the same kind of differences that can be seen in the Trends in International Mathematics and Science Survey results from 2011 for Thai Primary 4 and Thai Secondary 2 students' scores, as reported in The Nation on December 12, 2012.
There is an urgent need for a public discussion of these regional figures and what they mean for the future of the Thai education system. This public discussion should be constant and sustained until the scores of the children of the Northeast – and those of the other regions stricken by poor results – can equal the scores of the children of Bangkok.

In Uphill Battle, Isaan Language Taught in Schools
KHON KAEN—It has been banned from Thai classrooms for over 100 years, but the local language of the Northeast, referred to as "Thai Lao," "Isaan," or often just plain "Lao," is making a comeback.
Eleven municipal schools in Khon Kaen have started teaching students how to read and write in Thai Lao, thanks to an E.U.-funded project known as The Isan Culture Maintenance and Revitalization Program (ICMRP). Two years after receiving a 20 million baht grant, ICMRP has achieved some notable successes, but formidable challenges lie ahead.
Starting last May, Khon Kaen municipal schoolteachers began teaching the script of Thai Lao, known as Tai Noi, to students ranging from grades four to eight.
The principal challenge so far has been most teachers' unfamiliarity with the written form of the language. Although the majority of people in the Northeast still speak Thai Lao, the literacy rate of the language is close to zero, save for a few elders, academics, and monks. There have been no new major works of literature written in Thai Lao for almost a century, and scholars have just embarked on the complicated process of adapting the antiquated alphabet, Tai Noi, to modern times. As a result, many teachers in Khon Kaen's municipal schools have recently learned the alphabet for the first time themselves.
"I was trained for only a month before I started teaching my own class," said Udomsarp Lurngubol, a Thai language teacher at Suansanook Municipal School who started teaching Tai Noi to his seventh grade students this semester. Mr. Udom stopped the class in December to make time for boy and girl scout activities, and he has already forgotten how to write the ABC's in Tai Noi script.
Mr. Udomsarp said he would like to see the program continue, but he doesn't feel confident in his ability to teach the subject. "It would be better to have someone else come to my class once a week and teach it than to have a rookie like me who is starting at the same level as the students," said Mr. Udom.
Some teachers, parents, and children in the Khon Kaen community have asked why it's necessary to learn Tai Noi script in the first place.
For Professor Chob Desuankok, who studies the history of Northeastern Thailand, teaching children how to read and write in Thai Lao is about more than achieving literacy. It's about reclaiming the cultural roots of the Northeast.
"People in Bangkok who say that their 300,000 votes are better than one million votes in the Northeast are looking down on our intelligence," said Professor Chob. "But revitalizing Tai Noi will show that we have our own literature, our own teachings, our own ethics. Our voice will be made equal by this."
Professor Chob added, "We want our kids to understand who they are, and why they have to keep on being Isaan people."
Others see the promotion of Thai Lao literacy as way to increase academic results across the board. On national education tests, the Northeast is consistently one of the country's lowest-scoring regions. ICMRP project officer John Draper said this could be because most Northeastern children are taught in a language that is not their mother tongue.
At this early stage of language revitalization, the teachers in Khon Kaen lack basic resources like an instruction manual on how to teach Tai Noi, or a standard-reference dictionary, which is still being created. Progress has been stalled by disagreement among academics over the spelling of many words, and on issues like whether or not tone marks—which weren't included in ancient manuscripts, but are used in the spoken language—should be included.
Khon Kaen University linguistics Professor Rattana Chantao doesn't think it is possible to reach agreement on these issues any time soon, so she has decided to forge ahead on developing a 600-word dictionary for primary school students in Khon Kaen. In her opinion, tone markers must be added to make the Tai Noi script accessible to young people.
"Without tone markers, it's too difficult to learn," said Professor Rattana. "Revitalization encompasses many concepts, and I think it means adapting to changes in the culture and the language."
Although the project relies heavily on backing from the E.U.'s External Action Service, which funds 90% of the project, coordination between the Thai municipalities and the foreign agency has proven difficult.
Mr. Saran Paonariang, who works in Khon Kaen Municipality's Education Department, said that adjusting to the European style of accounting has been a challenge.
Furthermore, E.U. funding has been temporarily delayed because of uncertainty over an internal audit, said ICMRP project officer Mr. Draper. Mr. Draper attributes the delay in funding to cross-cultural differences between the two agencies.
"The municipalities know little about the E.U., and the E.U. has little experience working with Thai municipalities," said Mr. Draper. "I would describe the slippage in terms of problems with the socio-political interface that results from any principal-agent contractual relationship between two entities who do not really know each other."
The delay in funding, as well as numerous changes in staff on both the E.U. and the Thai side of the project, have had an even more detrimental impact on other parts of the program financed by the grant. There has been only marginal progress in the municipalities of Chum Phae, Ban Phai, and Phon, which were tasked with designing and installing signs in Thai Lao, manufacturing traditional Isaan-style school uniforms, and curating an online database of Isaan cultural performances.
This bureaucratic stagnancy is not just a consequence of the difficulties posed by international collaboration. A draft of a National Language Policy, which was approved by Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra, recognizes Thai Lao as a regional language and supports bilingual education for children of ethnic groups, like many in Isaan, whose mother tongue is different from Central Thai. Yet, all progress on implementing the policy has been frozen since the dissolution of the government in December.
Revitalizing Isaan language literacy is proving to be an uphill battle. But for ICMRP project officer Mr. Draper, the biggest achievement has been a small, but essential one: the creation of a community of activists, historians, and linguists in Khon Kaen who are united around the cause of promoting Isaan culture, language, and identity.
The new sign to the entrance of Khon Kaen University, which was erected last month, captures the budding community-mobilization around this goal. It has the name of the University written in Standard Thai, English, and for the first time, Tai Noi.
"Thousands of people are going to ask, 'what is that language doing there?" Mr. Draper said. "Sooner or later that is going to have a positive effect on promoting Thai Lao identity and the real history of the Northeast."
Slideshow: Khon Kaen Voters Go To The Polls
On February 2, The Isaan Record traveled around the city of Khon Kaen to hear from voters at the polls. The election proceeded smoothly in Khon Kaen and most parts of Thailand outside of Bangkok and several provinces in the South. Still, a full government will not be formed until elections are re-held in areas where the voting process was disrupted.

Khon Kaen Activists Remain Divided, But Peaceful
KHON KAEN—Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra and the Election Commission are expected to reach a decision this afternoon on whether or not the February 2 elections will be postponed, but Khon Kaen residents, like Thais across the country, remain divided on their hopes for the outcome. Yet while chaos, and at times violence, has dominated the streets of Bangkok in recent weeks, both sides of the divide in Khon Kaen plan to respond to today's announcement – regardless of the outcome – calmly and peacefully.
In Khon Kaen, the minority anti-government activists are hoping the elections will be postponed until after the government has undergone significant reform, while Khon Kaen's strong Red Shirt constituency, which supports the Yingluck government and wants to take the country's disagreements to the polls, is hoping the February 2 date will remain in place.
The Khon Kaen chapter of the People's Democratic Reform Committee (PDRC) has been holding anti-government rallies at the city shrine every night since January 3 and sending daily buses of anti-government supporters to participate in the Bangkok protests. But the chairman of the group, 58-year-old Khon Kaen resident Kamol Kitkasitwat, said that even if the government decides to go forward with Sunday's election, the group does not plan to stage any special demonstrations or protests.
"We don't want to provoke any violence," said Mr. Kamol. He added that so far, the group's nightly rallies have not elicited any hostility from Red Shirt supporters.
Mr. Kamol said that if the polls are open on February 2, PDRC activists may demonstrate at voting stations in Khon Kaen to express their position against the election, but they will not attempt to block voters from casting ballots, as was the case in Bangkok on Sunday.
Many members of Khon Kaen's strong Red Shirt constituency are hoping for an opposite outcome from Yingluck's 2 p.m. meeting with the Election Commission, but they also do not plan to respond aggressively if the decision does not go their way.
Forty-year-old Khon Kaen radio DJ Sanya Simma said he is afraid that if the election is postponed today, it might be a long time before the Thai people get another chance to vote. Yet he and another Khon Kaen radio DJ, 45-year-old Bhutdhipong Khanhaengpon, said a decision to delay the election would not be enough to turn them against the government.
"We are ready to listen to the reason that the government gives us," said Bhutdhipong. "If the reason is good enough, or even not good enough, we will listen and think."
Pheu Thai party list candidate Thanik Masripitak said he is worried that a postponement of the election will disillusion Pheu Thai voters, but that he will continue to campaign for the party regardless.
"We will have to campaign harder to explain to our supporters why we have to postpone," said Mr. Thanik. "We hope that our supporters will keep understanding."
The stark contrast between how the conflict is playing out in Bangkok versus Khon Kaen was illustrated when advance voting on January 26 was either blocked entirely or disrupted at 49 out of 50 polling stations in Bangkok, but completely unimpeded in Khon Kaen and other areas in the northeast.
For the time being, political activity in Khon Kaen, and across much of the Northeast, appears far less confrontational than in Bangkok.
"There will be no violence in this province because most of us know we have different political ideologies and beliefs," anti-government leader Mr. Komol said. "We can say to one another, 'I understand that you have a different idea, but we can still live together.'"

Tasty Waves Frozen Yogurt Cafe in New Milford has partnered with local schools and other non-profit organizations to raise funds for school programs and charities.
Each month, Tasty Waves will partner with a different organization to raise funds and will donate a portion of the day's sales to the club, school, or charitable organization sponsoring the event.
In December, Tasty Waves partnered with the New Milford High School boys' swim team.
The initial intention of this event was to raise funds to purchase items for the team, however, in light of the tragedy in Sandy Hook, the team elected to donate the proceeds to the Newtown Park Gift Fund for the Dickenson Playground Project.
Fundraisers will be held Friday, Feb. 22 to support John Pettibone School PTO; March 16 to benefit New Milford High School softball; and April 27 to support the New Milford High School Grad Party.
The JPS fundraiser was scheduled for Feb. 8 but was postponed due to the weather.
Events will be held from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m. at the cafe at 7 Main St.
For more information or to sponsor a fundraiser, call Michael Terry at 203-313-5021.

Drummers and bands: Think globally
Hi All,
A few weeks ago, I thought I needed to stop posting so much on forums, and start focusing some of my thoughts in a more constructive way. I started a business blog, covering a variety of topics, most of which have nothing to do with drumming.
But today's blog post comes from posts I had originally written on here, about being a drummer in a band, and how one might make a career out of being a band today, as opposed to how we it used to try to do it. Rather than looking at all the negativity of the music business, I thought about how one can look at it in a positive light.
Musicians and Bands: Don't think locally, think globally!
I hope one or two people might get something useful out of it.
EDIT: And special thanks to MattRitter, who posted a question that I responded to that set off the original post this post is based off of!
Re: Drummers and bands: Think globally
Looks like a great read, I'll definitely read it when I have the time!
Re: Drummers and bands: Think globally
Very nice entry, I've never really thought about that!
Although I'm sure making it in any country is still hard, it provides some optimism to all the young musicians (such as myself) here in America.
Although in Europe we've got to be careful not to steal the show from Andy and PQleyR!
Re: Drummers and bands: Think globally
That was a great read!
Re: Drummers and bands: Think globally
Seriously, you're welcome anytime.
Nice piece of info there Ian. I left a comment. A composite approach is required in many cases, Being successful, at least to the point of filling venues, has great band value on your local scene. If nothing else, it offers good gigging opportunities. Not only is this great fun, but it gets the band tighter & pays some bills. You can build a local online fanbase from that, & use that fanbase to further multiply exposure via their contacts. To do that, you need content. In some ways, that comes back to gigs. They provide the money to record stuff, & also provide great photo/video opportunities. Once you're into original material, a website with download & pay features is your critical mass hub, with all other E tools feeding it (FB, MS, etc).
I'm in a similar boat Ian. The business has changed beyond recognition since I stomped the boards 25 years ago, & for the small time guy like me, in a very positive way. All my old fart comrades should embrace these new opportunities with both arms. It's great!
Re: Drummers and bands: Think globally
Thanks guys!
Thank you Andy for leaving the comment on my blog. I posted this in several places, and I'm getting a lot of good feedback.
As much as I lament that I wasn't born earlier in the golden age of the music business, in many ways, I wish I were starting now. It is so exciting what one can do with a digital camera, software, the Internet and the bigger world market.
Re: Drummers and bands: Think globally
Whoo hoo!!
Another site picked up my article
Re: Drummers and bands: Think globally
Anyway, I have to read this. You can never get enough tips on the music business.
Re: Drummers and bands: Think globally
Nice article, Ian. I think that you touch on some great points. I remember Joe Morello saying there is room for everyone. And now with the internet and global economy, it helps you to find out where your room is. If you hate some type of music or love some other types of music, even if there is no one in your immediate neighborhood who shares you feelings, in the global neighborhood, there are probably millions to share your interests.
When I was young, I really loved progressive rock. But I came of age when progressive rock was over, and there was literally no one interested in doing it. I used to run ads in the music papers month after month and get like one or two responses if I were lucky. Of course, I lived 15 minutes from John Petrucci, but he had to go to Berkelee to find his band. Why didn't he ever read my ad? :)
It has been said by folks far wiser than I am, you have to do this for yourself. And when you can find others who share your interests, more power to you.

Most students returned to school in the shattered Connecticut community of Newtown on Tuesday for the first time since a gunman's rampage killed 26 people in an elementary school, reviving the gun control debate in Washington.
Breaking its silence for the first time since the shootings, the powerful gun industry lobby, the National Rifle Association, said it was "shocked, saddened and heartbroken" and was "prepared to offer meaningful contributions" to prevent such massacres.
Businesses also reacted. One retailer, Dick's Sporting Goods, pulled all guns from its store closest to Newtown and suspended the sale of certain semi-automatic rifles in its stores nationwide. A private equity firm said it would sell its investments in a gunmaker after pressure from a major teachers' pension fund.

Celtics' legend Cedric Maxwell stood in location of Boston Marathon bombing just minutes before
Apr 15, 2014, 5:31 PM EDT
It was one year ago today that two bombs killed 3 people and wounded 264 more near the finish line of one of America's great races, the Boston Marathon. It was a senseless, needless tragedy, but one that united both the city and the nation behind Boston Strong.
Next week the race will return stronger than ever.
On the anniversary of the terrorist attack, Boston Celtics legend Cedric Maxwell told the story of how just minutes before the bomb went off — 7-8 minutes, by his estimation — he had been standing in the very spot that the explosions took place.
Maxwell spoke with A. Sherrod Blakely of CSNNE.com.
"I got a little cold," Maxwell, color analyst for the Boston Celtics on 98.5 The Sports Hub, told CSNNE.com. "That ended up saving me; I got a little cold and I didn't have a big coat on. So I went to get warm."
Maxwell strolled down to Norstrom's Rack and went to the second floor.
"And then the bomb went off," Maxwell said.
Maxwell, like everyone else in the immediate area, had no idea what was going on in the minutes after the bombings. He went outside to see.
"And all of a sudden, somebody must have said, 'run!' And literally, I would say thousands of people started running towards me," he said. "I'm looking for someone behind them with a gun … something was going on. So I run back into Norstrom's Rack and all kinds of people followed me in there."
Eventually Maxwell went home, turned on the news and quickly realized how fortunate he was.
While watching the news, he saw a woman on a stretcher with a red dress and a red bandana on her head. Maxwell recalled standing near her when he was watching the marathoners cross the finish line earlier in the day.
But what really hit home for Maxwell was seeing that among the three people who died, there was Lingzi Lu, a 23-year-old Chinese graduate student at Boston University, who was standing next to him moments before he left the marathon finish line.
Maxwell was lucky. So many others were not that day.
It's a reminder that life can be fleeting, that we need to enjoy the moments we have while we can. The entire event is a reminder of the resiliency of people when faced with tragedy.
Boston Strong.

- jvm127 - Apr 16, 2014 at 4:31 PM
Boston is not strong. They allowed their city to be locked down under martial law for days and let swat teams search their homes without warrants. That is not strong. That is the definition of weak.

Guidance in circles case
Posted: September 06, 2012|
The archaeological community is looking for guidance from the case of a Mendip landowner into the penalty that may be imposed for damaging historic sites, a court was told.
Taunton Crown Court heard that Roger Maxwell Penny, 73, who admits destroying part of the Priddy Circles ancient earthworks, dating back to 3,000BC, would like to do what he can to put the damage right.
Mr Penny, of The Grange, Back Lane, Chewton Mendip, pleaded guilty at South Somerset Magistrates' Court in April to permitting work affecting a scheduled monument between April and October 2011 and the case was sent to the Crown Court because the maximum penalty they could impose was £5,000 and magistrates felt it was too serious for them to deal with. Mr Penny's barrister, Charles Row, suggested the hearing be adjourned for six-months for work to begin and to demonstrate what could be put right.
David Maunder, for English Heritage, said the matter should not be dealt-with on the defendant's terms and Recorder Jeremy Wright QC said it was one of a number of possibilities – ranging from doing nothing to doing all the work English Heritage required.
Mr Maunder proposed that the work be done or supervised using Mr Penny's resources "under the eye of English Heritage".
The judge said the simplest way was for Mr Penny to agree to permit English Heritage to enter his land for up to 18 months to carry out archaeological works to reinstate the area.
The hearing was adjourned to October 26.

How Schools Can Use MIIC
The Minnesota Immunization Information Connection (MIIC) can make it easy for K-12 schools as well as early childhood programs to ensure their students are up-to-date on their immunizations and enforce the school immunization laws. Updated 7/14
Download PDF version formatted for print:
How Schools Can Use MIIC (PDF: 118KB/2 pages)
On this page:
What is MIIC?
What are the benefits of MIIC for schools?
Can schools enter immunizations into MIIC?
What about privacy?
How do I find out more about participating in MIIC?
What is MIIC?
MIIC is a system that stores electronic immunization records and helps ensure that Minnesotans get the right immunizations at the right time. The immunization information is available to authorized users, such as health care providers, public health agencies, child care providers, and schools who work together to prevent vaccine-preventable diseases.
What are the benefits of MIIC for schools?
Minnesota's School and Child Care Immunization Law requires all students enrolling in school to show evidence that they have received certain immunizations or have a legal exemption. MIIC can help schools check that their students are in compliance with the immunization law. Schools can use MIIC to:
- Get an official copy of a student's immunization history for checking compliance and maintaining records.
- View all of the immunizations a student has received even if the shots were given at different clinics in Minnesota.
- Look up immunization history and show which vaccines a student needs.
- Look up the immunization history and keep a list of students' immunization records to review or print. These printouts allow users to see immunization data for a list of children at a glance.
- Identify students who are missing immunizations, this is helpful in case of a disease outbreak at a school or in the community.
- Keep school electronic tracking systems up to date. MIIC allows schools to submit a file of their students to MIIC and receive a file of immunization data for those students. The returned data can then be loaded into a school electronic tracking system. (Using this client query feature may require some additional IT help.)
For more information on how to use these MIIC features, see:
- MIIC User Guidance and Training Resources
- Client Query User Guidance and File Specifications
- You can also contact the MIIC Help Desk at 800-657-3970 or 651-201-5503 for additional assistance.
Can schools enter immunizations into MIIC?
In addition to using MIIC to view students' immunization records, some schools enter immunization data into MIIC. These schools obtain written permission from parents to add this information to MIIC, in accordance with the Family Educational Right and Privacy Act (FERPA).
What about privacy?
Protecting the privacy of individuals is important. MIIC is password-protected, confidential, and can only be accessed by authorized users as prescribed by law. Schools that participate in MIIC must sign a user agreement that details the allowable uses for MIIC and they must ensure that the school will maintain the student's privacy. Additionally, parents or individuals can choose to opt out of MIIC.
How do I find out more about participating in MIIC?
Enrolling in MIIC is easy and free for schools. The first step in getting started with MIIC is to contact your regional coordinator.

Architectural Model - Lippincott House, Eaglemont, 1917 Reg. No: SH 891669
- Summary:
- Model of Lippincott House, Glenard Drive, Eaglemont, Victoria, built 1917. Model of a Prairie School style, two-storey house designed by Roy Alstan Lippincott in collaboration with Walter Burley Griffin and Marion Mahony Griffin.
Roy Alstan Lippincott came to Australia in 1914 with Walter Burley Griffin, Marion Mahony Griffin and Lippincott's wife (and Walter Burley Griffin's sister) Genevieve. Lippincott, who graduated from Cornell University in 1909, first collaborated with the Griffins whilst working for the architect Herman Von Holst in Chicago. Lippincott, who had assisted Griffin with his designs for Canberra, moved to Australia as his head draftsman.
Roy and Genevieve Lippincott built their house on the Glenard Estate in 1917. Walter Burley Griffin and Marion Mahony Griffin later bought the neighbouring block and built their own house, Pholiota, there.
The Lippincotts only lived in the house for four years. In 1920 Lippincott and Edward Bilson won the competition for the design of the Auckland University College Arts building; they moved to New Zealand in 1921 to undertake the project.
The model was made by John Grace (of Synman, Justin and Bialek) in 1989. It was created for the exhibition 'Home Sweet Home:Changes in Victorian Domestic Architecture 1839-1989'.
- Description:
- On a flat base, model shows a two-storey house built on a rectangular plan, with a pitched roof and battered base brick walls. Windows and stucco panels are lightweight infills between heavy brick piers.

- Donation from Mr Charles Justin - Synman Justin & Bialek Pty.Ltd., 1989

Shakespeare Meets Disco in Spring Theater Production
Published on April 22, 2010
SELINSGROVE—Susquehanna University's Department of Theatre will present Shakespeare's "A Midsummer Night's Dream" April 22 to 25 at 8 p.m. at the university's Degenstein Center Theater.
"A Midsummer Night's Dream" is the bard's beloved romance about the many dimensions of love. Susquehanna's imaginative production moves the action forward in time, casting the drama into the 1970s. Douglas Powers, professor of theatre and artistic director, explained: "The play is about love: courtly love, romantic love, sexual love and platonic love. Set to the tune of Donna Summer."
Tickets are $10 for adults and $8 for non-Susquehanna University students. They can be purchased by visiting the box office in the Degenstein Center Theater lobby or by calling 570-372-ARTS. The box office is open from noon to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday.
Founded in 1858, Susquehanna University is a national liberal arts college that prepares students for achievement, leadership and service in a diverse, interconnected world. Academic excellence, study away and service learning, student-faculty collaboration, and rich opportunities for creative and personal growth are hallmarks of a Susquehanna University education. Susquehanna students come from 36 states and 13 countries, and more than 90 percent of them find jobs or pursue graduate study within six months of graduation. The university is located in central Pennsylvania, in the town of Selinsgrove, along the banks of the scenic Susquehanna River and about three hours from major East Coast cultural, financial and recreational centers.

Hollywood is always looking for the next big thing and the next best young female actors to break onto the scene and set the world on fire. Many young actresses fizzle out over time, but when they do hit it big, they break out and blaze a trail like no one else. These are the best young female actors under the age of 25.
Consider posting a comment.
Dakota Fanning is 17, not 16 as stated.
Great list! I love all these actresses. They're all quite talented!
Ellen Page is the best!
Love Emma Stone
I heartily agree with Emma Stone! She's been great in every part I've seen her in.
Jennifer Lawrence's other High profile movie coming up is The Hunger Games. I can't believe that wasn't mentioned ..
now if you replace Anna Kendrick and her knack of choosing "great roles" with Saoirse Ronan, this list could've been close to perfect. Also Emma Watson being a better actor than Kat, Abigail and Hailee does not compute.
I think this list is in need of some Saoirse Ronan.
This list should really have Saoirse Ronan preferably at number 1
Either way she definitely should be on this list.
Also forgot to add Mia Wasikowska.
The list needs to be redone to be honest. Chloe is 14 also.
Lack of Saoirse Ronan……..ridiculous
This list is not very good…… also agree that Saoirse Ronan should be on it and Mia Wasikowska and Rooney Mara
Chloe Moretz is fantastic. My guess is twenty years from now we'll still be talking about whatever her latest movie is. A star in the making.

The idea behind my videos is simple, but exciting. Nothing is casted. There are only real people who only have sex in front of the camera because they want to.

Gear Review
Ski Dude
Pretty light, side material is venty so its a bit rough to the feel. Zip could go deeper into chest, nice form fitting but I've had baggier in other brands. I found it to smell so the lower anti-microbial properties didn't work for me. Back zippered pocket is ok, but have lots of zipper movement with pack on.
