Ao Chalong, Phuket
What we say:
Ao Chalong is a bustling harbour on Phuket's southeast coast and one of the island's main launching points for dive and snorkel trips. Chalong means "celebrate" in Thai, but unlike Patong Beach, its hedonistic west-coast cousin, it's far from being a party zone.
Chalong Bay's coastline runs from Rawai Beach to the south and over to Cape Panwa. At the heart of the bay sits a 720-metre-long pier. With Koh Lone sitting in the middle, the bay is well sheltered and hundreds of boats from rickety longtails to sleek yachts are moored here on any given day. Being a hub for boats means the water is murky and not suitable for swimming. The beach is sandy but grimy and not appealing for a sunbathing session.
The pier and the ridiculously narrow roads leading to it are madness in the early hours and in the late afternoon when trucks and minivans full of daytrippers cruising out to Coral, Raya and other islands nearby fight their way in and out. Avoid visiting the Chalong pier area at these times if you don't need to be here.
In the high season months from November to May, the Tigerline ferry service, which stops at Phi Phi, Lanta, Lipe, Langkawi in Malaysia and several small islands of the Andaman in between, operates from this pier.
Some good restaurants are within easy walking distance from the pier, as well as a sprinkling of bars ranging in style from grungy to glitzy, a 7-eleven and other mini-marts, and an assortment of rooms for rent — nothing fancy. There's a big car park with paid parking spaces at the pier entrance. The pier itself is a favoured spot for joggers and in the cooler evening hours couples, families and teens gather and stroll along its concrete walkway.
Dive shops dominate the pier road trade, while there's a row of about a half-dozen cheapie beer bars along one section. Pier 42 cafe and guesthouse is probably the hippest place to eat and stay along the pier road. It's popular with the diving crowd.
Kan Eang @ Pier restaurant next to the pier serves Thai, Japanese and Western food while a swanky new beach club, O2, the same brand as O2 on Samui, just opened next door.
Within a short walk along the waterfront from the pier is The Lighthouse restaurant, which also has some rooms for rent upstairs. Within a kilometre further north is Kan Eang 2 and the Ao Chalong Yacht Club, the latter worth checking out if you're keen to try some sailing. The club operates a restaurant and bar that's open to all and it holds regular weekend races — the scene here is unpretentious.
The pier road leads to a five-way roundabout, Hayeak Chalong or Chalong Circle, with turnoffs to Rawai beach, Kata and Karon beaches, and to Chaofa West (Nok) and Chaofa East (Nai), two roads running parallel paths to Phuket Town.
On the road leading to Kata-Karon is a tourist complex that, aside from a go-kart track that's great for kids, is a one-stop shop for dubious tourist activities: a shooting range, paintball, ATV riding, elephant riding and baby elephant feeding, and worst of all: a monkey "school" where the only learning opportunity is to see firsthand how callous humans can be to their primate brethren. (If you want an up-close look at monkeys, go to the Gibbon Rehabilitation Centre instead.)
Just beyond the circle down Chaofa West Road is the Home Pro Village shopping centre and the island's priciest supermarket, Villa Market, where homesick Australians go for their Vegemite fix. Home Pro sits on a plot of land that used to be an open field with a large local night market. Times change. Now there's a KFC, MK Restaurant, a (real) Crocs outlet and the huge anchor store, Home Pro, with 6,000 square metres of floor space selling home furnishings and supplies.
Going inland, Chalong sub-district encompasses an area from the circle up towards Phuket Town. Chalong is home to two of Phuket's most famous sacred sites, Wat Chalong and the Big Buddha. Aside from these attractions and the pier, Chalong remains fairly well off the tourist map. There are a lot of expats living in the area though, so it's not uncommon for even the tiniest noodle shops to have signs and menus in English — or Russian.Last updated: 27th April, 2015

Linfield's season ends against Whitman
Courtesy of Linfield sports information
WALLA WALLA, Wash. – A popular sports mantra states it is hard to beat a team three times in a season, but Whitman completed the feat, defeating Linfield 5-0 in the championship match of the Northwest Conference Tournament Saturday afternoon on its home courts.
The Missionaries (16-9) completed a perfect record against league opponents, including three victories against the Wildcats (13-4), to earn the conference's automatic berth in the NCAA playoffs. Whitman quickly reached the five points necessary to win the match, but Linfield gave the defending regular season and tournament champion all it could handle.
"We were impressed by our players' willingness to compete and fight for every point today. We went down fighting," said head coach Lisa Macy-Baker. "We talk a lot about putting everything on the line and improving every match. That's what gave us the shot at the championship."
Kaila Nip and Kelly Watanabe kept things close against Erin Bell and Katrina Allick at No. 2 doubles, 2-1, before the Missionary tandem rattled off six straight wins to earn Whitman its first point of the day, 8-1.
Courtney Lawless – the NWC Player of the Year – and Maddy Webster topped Caroline Brigham and Mackenzie Fraaser 8-4 in top-flight doubles to ensure the Missionaries had the advantage headed into singles, but Linfield's No. 3 duo ensured the clean sweep would not be easy. Gretchen Jernstedt and Courtney Mostul went up 3-1 in the tiebreak set against Jenna Dobrin and Hannah Palkowitz, but Whitman rallied for the 9-8 (7-4) victory.
In the only two singles matches to be completed before the Missionaries scored the decisive fifth point, Allick handed Fraser her first loss of the year at No. 6 singles by a count of 6-3, 6-0 and Allie Wallin defeated Kume – who clinched the semifinal match for the Wildcats the previous day – in fourth-flight singles, 6-2, 6-0.
Linfield 5, Whitworth 3
WALLA WALLA, Wash. – For the second time in three years, Linfield and Whitman square off in the championship match of the Northwest Conference Women's Tennis Tournament after the Wildcats staged a 5-3 comeback victory over Whitworth in the second semifinal match Saturday evening at Whitman's outdoor tennis courts.
With Linfield and Whitworth splitting the regular season matches at their respective home courts, all signs pointed to a close semifinal bout. Playing under the lights in front of a large crowd, the teams did not disappoint.
The third-seeded Wildcats dug themselves a 2-1 hole after doubles. But Linfield pocketed two quick points at Nos. 1 and 6 singles, took the lead with another victory at No. 2 singles and clinched the match when freshman Marisa Kume outlasted Annabelle Burns in a three-set barnburner in the fourth flight.
Kume won the opening set 6-4 and Burns responded with a 3-6 second-set victory to knot things up in the decisive match. Kume got out to 4-1 and 5-1 leads before securing the individual and team wins with a 6-2 third-set victory.
Brigham, Nip honored by NWC
For the second straight season, two Wildcats have been named to the All-Northwest Conference Women's Tennis Team as senior Caroline Brigham and junior Kaila Nip were honored via a vote of the league's head coaches. The announcement came Friday afternoon, one day prior to Linfield's postseason tilt with Whitworth in the semifinals of the NWC Tournament.
Brigham was included on the all-star squad for a fourth straight season, including one honorable mention consideration, one second-team selection and back-to-back first team recognitions. The fourth-year player compiled a 10-5 record in No. 1 singles competition in 2014, including an 8-4 mark against conference opponents. She also teamed with Mackenzie Fraser for an 8-7 win-loss record at No. 1 doubles.
Nip earned second team honors for the second consecutive year after registering a 12-3 mark at No. 2 singles. She enjoyed an eight-match win streak and posted a 10-2 mark against league foes. Competing at No. 2 doubles, Nip and Kelly Watanabe went 10-4 on the year, including 7-4 in conference matches.

Boston University School of Education (MEd)
I specialize in providing remediation of reading and writing skills for students of all ages - including high school and college students. I use direct, explicit instruction and repeated practice to teach reading skills. I teach students who struggle with the art of writing effectively through the use of framed paragraphs, graphic organizers, questioning, prompting, and examples. I also provide remediation in math skills such as teaching the four basic operations through stories, pictures, manipulatives, and mnemonics. I bring experience as a former classroom teacher, reading specialist, and homeschooler to my tutoring practice.
It is important that a student is matched well with a tutor, and the tutor must build a good working relationship with the student and parents. To that end, I take time to get to know a student and use a variety of assessments in order to target the student's specific needs. I formulate a plan with input from the student and parents in order to make the best use of our time. During each session I provide the student with strategies and skills, give feedback on performance, motivate the student with praise, and use humor to engage the student. I also work closely with parents to provide progress updates, discuss concerns, and problem-solve together. I will attend IEP meetings if parents request it.
**Common Application: I assist high school students with writing the essay for the Common Application as well as essays for particular colleges and universities. The requirements for the Common Application essay have changed this year, and I can help a student to write a concise and vivid essay. Often it takes 6-8 tutoring sessions to complete the essay if a student is willing to work on it independently.**
I provide students with the skills they need to succeed in school and in life. I specialize in providing remediation of reading and writing skills for students of all ages - including high school and college students. I use direct, explicit instruction and repeated practice to teach reading skills. I teach

My son has been working with Colleen to improve his writing and study skills. Colleen is nice, knowledgeable, kind, fun and helpful. We are very happy with the results of her tutoring. My son is very excited to work with Colleen every time she comes and always looking forward to have her back again. Thanks a lot, Colleen!!!
Colleen is a fantastic tutor. She is patient as well as knowledgeable. Her good humor and broad skill set have helped her establish a solid and trusting relationship with our middle schooler. He finds his sessions with Colleen to be very valuable; they have helped him immensely with organizational/study skills in general as well as with his writing assignments in particular. We absolutely recommend Colleen as a tutor!
My son loves working with Colleen. She addresses all of his weaknesses but in a way that is encouraging and makes him aware of his strengths as well. I highly recommend her.
Even in just the few weeks that Colleen has been working with our daughter we have seen a great improvement in her knowledge, her enthusiasm and her focus. Our 5 year old looks forward to working with Colleen each week and views their time together as fun. There is nothing more important to us that having our children love to learn and Colleen is helping us achieve that goal. She is creative and patient and makes each lesson an age appropriate good time! We are very pleased with how everything is going!
I needed someone to help me with graduate school essays. Using her writing skills and creativity, Colleen was able to help me write outstanding essays that will stand out to application evaluators.
It was a pleasure working with you, Greg!
She has been great with both of my daughters. She is attentive to the details and the different learning issues or styles of her students.
We hired Colleen to tutor our child in elementary math and she has been absolutely wonderful. Colleen is extremely professional, (providing references and her resume upon our introductory meeting) while at the same time friendly and approachable. Our child felt comfortable with her immediately. Colleen makes learning fun and puts a lot of thought into her lessons each week. She is full of helpful tips and tricks and as well as several online resources that make the learning process enjoyable. My child looks forward to sessions with Colleen and has gained confidence along with math skills. We are thrilled!
As both of my boys say, "Colleen is awesome!" We have had very quick results in confidence and weekly grades/ scores. We are all very happy!!!
Colleen has been working with my daughter for several weeks now and is helping her manage her study skills and writing, which have suffered due to her anxiety about being able to do the work. She is very bright but tends to freeze up. Colleen has been working with her to develop strategies to overcome her problems and has been patient and positive throughout.
Approved subjects are in bold.
In most cases, tutors gain approval in a subject by passing a proficiency exam. For some subject areas, like music and art, tutors submit written requests to demonstrate their proficiency to potential students. If a tutor is interested but not yet approved in a subject, the subject will appear in non-bold font. Tutors need to be approved in a subject prior to beginning lessons.
I have assisted students with writing the Common Application essay in the past, and those students have gotten accepted to their choice colleges. I keep up to date on the college application process, and I am aware that the requirements for the essay have changed this year. I help a student choose the topic that is most suited to the student's interests and experiences based on an informal interview. I assist the student with creating an outline to help with staying on topic. I also support a student through drafting the essay by prompting, questioning, and giving examples from model essays. I provide feedback and ask questions to help a student revise the essay, and I suggest that the ELA teacher read a draft before we decide that the essay is complete.
I tutor K-6th grade students in all subjects. However, I specialize in remediating reading and math difficulties. I use pictures, stories, songs, games, mnemonics, technology, and repeated practice to engage students in learning while I teach content and skills. I assess progress regularly.
I have a host of experiences teaching and tutoring students in K-6th grades. I bring 5 years of classroom experience to my tutoring practice. I was a 3rd grade classroom teacher, a reading specialist for K and 2nd grades, and a reading teacher in a middle school for 6th grade students. I also have several years of experience teaching outside of the traditional classroom setting. One summer I taught in a Kindergarten summer bridge classroom for at risk children, and I was a summer school substitute teacher in an elementary school. I have also tutored students in 3rd, 4th, and 6th grades as part of an academic afterschool program. In addition, I have privately tutored students in 1st, 5th, and 6th grades as well as high school students. I have also supervised and trained college-age tutors in multiple teaching strategies specifically geared towards the needs of the K-5 children they served in the surrounding urban community. I also have tutored homeschooled children in K, 3rd, and 5th grades in addition to demonstrating teaching techniques for those students' parents.
I use pictures, stories, games, songs, manipulatives, repeated practice, mnemonics, and technology to teach math concepts and to help students retain information. These techniques are especially helpful for students with learning disabilities or students who lack confidence. I also assess progress regularly.
I use online resources to help students proofread their writing so that we can work together remotely and/or asynchronously. I provide comments, ask questions, give sentence starters, and give examples to help students improve their writing.
Since I have an MEd in Reading Education (for all levels, including adults), I specialize in remediating reading difficulties. I teach targeted skills and strategies that will improve a struggling reader's fluency, decoding skills, and reading comprehension across subjects.
-I assess reading skills with various informal assessments including the QRI and the TCRWP Informal Reading Assessment.
-I use on-the-spot assessment and teachable moments.
-I teach students to self monitor their reading by prompting them to use visual, meaning, and syntactic cues.
-I provide visuals to help students to remember the strategies I have taught them.
-I teach students to use SQ3R for textbook and nonfiction reading.
-I use Directed Reading-Thinking Activity (DR-TA) to improve reading comprehension.
-To build reading fluency I use repeated readings, modeled reading, explicit instruction in high frequency words and phrases, and encourage reading texts at lower levels.
-I explicitly teach students how to read and spell different syllable types and combine these syllables to make real words using a multisensory approach. These lessons come from the Megawords series.
-I tailor instruction to each student's needs and create my own or find the appropriate materials for each student.
-I help older students who are reading below grade level to gain proficiency and find high interest books that are written at lower reading levels.
**I have seen an increase in a student's reading level in as little as 10 weeks of instruction.**
I motivate students and help them to see their potential.
I specialize in assisting students who have Executive Dysfunction to acquire the skills necessary to be successful in school and at home. I can assist a student with:
+ organizing school materials and supplies necessary for homework, long-term assignments, and test preparation;
+ learning to be meta-cognitive in order to increase reading skills and improve self-advocacy skills;
+ learning strategies for sustaining attention, improving self-regulation, and retaining and accessing learned information;
+ improving routines in order to increase task initiation, time management skills, and persistence as well as reduce anxiety.
I teach vocabulary using direct instruction, repeated practice, and multiple methods to ensure that students truly understand new words. I use the Frayer Model as well as other graphic organizers to help students develop a deeper understanding of the meaning of a particular word. I teach Greek and Latin roots so that students can break down unfamiliar words when they are reading, which not only helps with understanding new words, but also helps with decoding unfamiliar words. In order to engage students in vocabulary study, I use technology and games. I teach students to use a thesaurus to replace words in their writing that are not descriptive.
Each student's needs are unique, and I tailor each writing lesson to an individual student's needs.
**I am training in EmPOWER, an expository writing strategy. I have just two more follow up sessions left to my training. EmPOWER is a systematic approach to writing and is effective for students with language based learning disabilities and students with executive dysfunction. I have been teaching my students the EmPOWER routine since July 2014 and have seen these students make good progress with their writing skills.**
Composition: I use many strategies to assist students of all ages with writing including graphic organizers, outlines, prompts, sentence starters, and discussion. I help students make their writing more vivid and concise. Technology is an integral part of my instruction. In order to teach students how to write in various genres, I use models of writing. I teach students how to use resources such as the thesaurus to help them improve their writing.
College Essay: I help students write the essay for the Common Application as well as supplemental college essays. I work with students remotely and asynchronously using online sharing tools.
Handwriting: I help students to write clearly using chalk, sand, shaving cream, rice, and other mediums to practice forming the letters. This provides a tactile experience and makes learning handwriting more fun. I also use technology when appropriate. I use verbal cues to help students remember what the letters (and numbers) look like and how to form them. I also group visually similar letters together. For some students learning cursive results in more legible handwriting, so I am willing to focus my instruction on cursive writing if we determine that it will benefit your child.
Colleen F. passed a background check on 8/11/12. The check was ordered by Colleen through First Advantage. For more information, please review the background check information page.
After sending a message to Colleen, you will be able to order a new background check for $7.99. As part of your tutor selection process, we encourage you to run updated background checks. Please also review the safety tips for hiring tutors.

Italy: Burqa decision provokes controversy
"I am indignant. Covering up women's faces is an offence to their dignity," said Equal Opportunities Minister Barbara Pollastrini.
The burqa used by Islamic traditions such as the Afghan one covers the entire head and body of the woman, leaving only a small grill of cloth in the area of the eyes to allow the wearer to see. Vittorio Capocelli, the prefect of Treviso in the Veneto region, decided on October 5 that it was acceptable for Muslim women in the city to wear the garment as long as they were ready to remove it and identify themselves to police when required.
A day later Family Minister Rosy Bindi, a prominent Catholic politician, indicated her agreement, saying that it was right to be "respectful of the veil" as long as women wore it of their own free will.
The apparent green light for the burqa drew a stinging editorial from Egyptian-born writer and journalist Magdi Allam in Tuesday's edition of Corriere della Sera, Italy's best-selling daily.
"If the prefect's decision sets a legal and administrative precedent on a national level, Islamic women could soon be going to school completely covered, be getting hired in workplaces and circulating freely all over Italy," he wrote. Centre-left MP Maura Leddi filed a formal request for Amato to explain to parliament why the Treviso prefect had authorised the use of the burqa.
The prefect appeared to have based his decision on a 2004 police department circular indicating that wearing the burqa was legitimate because it was an "external sign of religious faith".
The circular says that wearing the covering is not a crime and so women should be allowed to wear it in the street or in a mosque. But it also says that it should not be worn in places such as banks or post offices because of the possible "alarm" this would cause to other people. In such situations police can and should identify the wearer.
Italy now has 1.2 million Muslims, making Islam the second religion after Catholicism. The Union of Islamic Communities in Italy, one of the largest Muslim associations, says it manages about 160 mosques.
Both the previous centre-right government and the current centre-left one have opted for a strategy of promoting a model of 'Italian' Islam which has integration, moderation and tolerance as its cornerstones. A 16-member Islamic Council was set up in 2005 with the objective of advising the Italian government on Islam-related affairs and to form a bridge to the country's growing Muslim population.
One of the Council's members, former ambassador Mario Scialoja, said that the decision by Treviso's prefect to allow the burqa was "inopportune".
Souad Sbai, head of an association of Moroccan women in Italy and a member of the Islamic Council, agreed. "Italy is becoming fundamentalist. It's time to say stop," she said.

Sirius Moves Closer to Being Bought (Update 2)
(BKS - Get Report) and Live Nation (LYV - Get Report), and has never been shy about tax-advantaged acquisitions. Sirius is certainly that, as it has net operating losses (NOL) and will not have to pay taxes for the foreseeable future. StockGuy82 on Stock Twits tweeted the NOL would be "very advantageous to prospective buyers."Liberty Media has historically spun out its investments, having done so with Discovery Communications (DISCA), DirectTV (DTV) and others, but that may not be the case this time. Malone's style prompted Warren Buffett-run Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.A - Get Report) to recently acquire a stake in Liberty Media. Several hedge funds, including Tiger Global Management, Och Ziff Capital Management and David Einhorn-run Greenlight Capital Management also have positions. (See the rest of Warren Buffett's portfolio.) Bazinet writes in his research note that Liberty Media has access to $6.5 billion in liquidity from three sources: "1) $3.85 billion from Liberty Media cash on hand, existing Sirius debt, existing lines of credit and FCF in 2012; 2) $1.4 billion from Sirius cash on hand and FCF in 2012; and 3) $1.25 billion in cash from Liberty Ventures." Purchasing an 80% stake of Sirius at $2.50 per share would cost $6.36 billion, so Liberty Media has the means to do it. Bazinet is not the only analyst who says a merger or takeover is likely. In a Feb. 9 report, Pivotal Research Group analyst Jeffrey Wlodarczak increased his price target for Liberty Media to $107 a share, driven by an increase in the value of Sirius XM Radio. "We continue to believe Liberty inevitably increases its stake in SIRI above 50% prior to an inevitable merger," wrote Wlodarczak, who noted that by clawing back Starz, the company now has up to $9 billion that it can use for share buybacks or acquisitions of investments like Sirius and LiveNation. The signs for a potential Sirius merger are there, with more than one analyst forecasting an inevitable merger. Whether it happens is in Malone's hands, but the groundwork has been laid. Shares of Sirius are higher today, up 1.35% to $2.25.

Defining Online Chat Rooms:
The term chat room, or chatroom, is primarily used to describe any form of synchronous conferencing, occasionally even asynchronous conferencing. The term can thus mean any technology ranging from real-time online chat and online interaction with strangers instant messaging and online forums to fully immersive graphical social environments.
The primary use of a chat room is to share information via text with a group of other users.
Generally speaking, the ability to converse with multiple people in the same conversation differentiates chat rooms from instant messaging programs, which are more typically designed for one-to-one communication. The users in a particular chat room are generally connected via a shared interest or other similar connection, and chat rooms exist catering for a wide range of subjects. New technology has enabled the use of file sharing and webcams to be included in some programs.

My Nonprofit Reviews
Review for Down Syndrome Network, Tempe, AZ, USA
When our son was born with Down syndrome, my husband and I had many questions and we were in need of information and support. I spoke with many people from this group after our son was born and started attending playgroups, workshops and other fun events. Our son has brought us many blessings including the people we have met and the information we have gained through DSNetwork.
More Feedback
What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is...
gaining information and knowledge to help our son and other children born with disabilities
The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were...
patient, kind, understanding and supportive
If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...
Build a center where children and adults with Down syndrome and their families could receive support, therapy, and educational services. This center could also provide young adults with Down syndrome a place to work, meet others and socialize. This group could work within the community to raise awareness for Down syndrome, help others with disabilities, and make a difference in their community.
When was your last experience with this nonprofit?

Laos is still one of Asia's most beautiful secrets. Take a glimpse of life from a simpler time, as hill-tribes retain their age-old customs and devout Buddhist monks collect daily alms. Even the capital Vientiane preserves a laid back riverfront style of life, retaining the charm and buzz of a provincial town. World Heritage listed French colonial town Luang Prabang's tranquil atmosphere, charming villas and gilded temples make it an essential part of any journey here. Here are our top picks for any trip to Laos.
Once an ancient capital of northern Laos, the UNESCO World Heritage listed site of Luang Prabang is the very essence of charm and tranquillity. Set 700m above sea level at the confluence of the Mekong and Khan rivers, the city is surrounded by spectacular scenery of lush, green covered mountains, colourful flowers, sacred caves and waterfalls. The perfume of frangipanis and freshly made coffee and baguettes fills the narrow streets between crumbling French colonial buildings whilst bicycles and pedestrians rule the roads. Luang Prabang is the spiritual centre of the country and saffron-robed monks trail the streets for morning alms and dwell in temples during the day. The city is home to over 30 gilded temples, including the stunning Wat Xieng Thong with its painted figurines and intricate coloured glass mosaics.
The capital of Laos, Vientiane manages to retain the charm of a provincial town despite being the largest city in the country. Sitting along the banks of the Mekong River, the city streets of elegant French mansions bloom with bougainvillea while the aroma of steaming noodle stalls fills the air. The tree-lined boulevards and friendly locals endow the city with a relaxed yet captivating ambience and the riverside cafes provide the perfect place to enjoy a beer while w atching the sun set over the Mekong. Vientiane is full of things to see – the monumen t of Patuxai, a Laotian version of the Arc de Triomphe, testifies to its years under French rule while Buddha Park is an unusual collection of sculptures from Buddhist and Hindu philosophy, mythology and iconography.
Nestled on the banks of the Nam Song River surrounded by lush countryside is the delightful village of Vang Vieng. The local caves are the prize attraction as the laid back atmosphere of the village itself. Opt take a bicycle ride through the rice paddy filled fields or go tubing along the river. Vang Vieng is located midway between midway Vientaine and Luang Prabang. En route you also may wish ot stop stop at the colourful market of Thalat, where local hill tribes come to trade and shop and also visit the archaeological site of Vang Xang that dates back to the 11th century.
Situated in the northeast of Laos, Phonsavan is the provincial capital of the Xieng Khouang province and the base for trips to the area's star attraction – the Plain of Jars. Thousands of mysterious stone jars are scattered across the rolling hills and grassy plains, appearing in clusters ranging from just a few to several hundred and weighing up to 6 tonnes. Their origin is unknown though legend tells of a race of giants who inhabited the area. After winning an arduous battle with their enemy, they built the jars to store wine to celebrate their victory. Initial research in the 1930s suggested that the jars were used for prehistoric burial practices and have been dated back as far as the Iron Age. Human remains have since been found, supporting this theory.
The largest island of Si Phan Don, a group of islands in the Mekong River, Khong Island offers a unique opportunity to experience rural life in Laos with its lovely fishing villages, serene monasteries and lush vegetation. The island has a number of natural wonders including the powerful Li Phi waterfalls and if you're lucky, you may just spot the Irrawaddy dolphins on the south coast. The islanders live in and around two villages – Muang Khong on the eastern shore and Muang Saen on the west. Life here moves slowly and the villages are best experienced on bicycle rides around the countryside. Colonial buildings, river piers and a defunct railway are all left over relics from the French built during the late 1800s.
Unlike the mountainous north, southern Laos is flat and fertile land with verdant landscapes and tropical palms. Small villages with their own distinctive customs dot the region with Pakse being the only major town. Pakse sits on the confluence of the Mekong and Don rivers and is blessed with a laid back lethargy yet boasts the largest market in the country, famous for its coffee. A number of temples in town are worth visiting, including the Big Buddha temple with views over Pakse and the river. The town also serves as the base for trips to the Bolaven Plateau, known for its diverse and intriguing minority villages, as well as its dramatic waterfalls and plantations, and for trips to Si Phan Don or 'The 4,000 Islands', a riverine archipelago of idyllic islands.

Shaved down under. Beware. Frank personal detail and sexual content.
I think I wrote a post on my hair problems in the past. But I did not go into the really personal details.
I give the you the brief version from the past. As you get older, more hair grows and in new places. Above neck, I shave and pluck eyebrows. I shave and pluck ears. I pluck by hand and with tweezers nose. Ears get shaved and plucked. Of course I shave my face.
The bod, I used to pluck the odd hair around my nipples, but now so many grow on my chest, I just occasionally drag a razor over them.
Fine light hair now grows on my stomach. I leave that well alone. It is all very new to me.
Underarms I used to trim until a friend told me that he shaves his off. Not as inclined to smell, and he was right. I now shave my underarms every so often. In winter, it is not so important. Strangely, I have very hairy underarms, although fair.
There is the stray long hair that grows in an odd place that I pluck off.
Why do I bother? Who would notice? Well, I notice. I may be an ageing poof, but at heart I am still a smooth young man who his pursued by a hot daddy looking for a cute boi........or the reverse.
Just as an aside, I recall a gorgeous looking young guy I met in a sopv (look it up yourself) one day. He was ten years younger than me, but he so got off on my smooth body. He was a slim young man, but not really smooth. I guess he liked what he wasn't.
I have been known to shave or wax my legs, but only for very special occasions.
There was even a time when I could not tolerate hair on my fingers or toes and used to remove it. (Ah, just checked, not really hair on my fingers or hands and only very fair hair on my big toes).
What about the middle body bit, I hear you asking? Oh, you didn't. Course you did or you would not still be reading.
Crack wax. I can do it for you. I have done it for others and do it for myself. I suppose it is somewhat undignified doing your own. Squatting over a mirror is not the best look....well, that could be qualified, but I leave it alone. I like to overheat the wax the first time, just to see how you react. If your cheeks are hairy, I don't know about that, but I think I would use a razor but I suppose wax would work but you better be paying for the wax if you have a hairy ass.
What about the front bottom. Oh, I don't have one of those. I have bits hanging around. When very young, I used to trim a bit with scissors. Now I trim heavily with scissors. The stalk and the nads and under the nads are shaved smooth. The bit above is shaved into a flatish inverted triangle, with a significant apex I might tell you.
It is hardly a sexual thing to do you own hair removal, but doing someone else's can be. Or it can be clinical.
And if you are a virgin to hair removal, Doctor Highriser knows how to make the prickles stay at bay. I don't know about getting guys into good muscular shape, but I do know about hair removal and making the best of what they have.
Just like Miss Practically Perfect pulled a post the next morning after too much joi de vivre, I might do the same, or I might not.

I began shaving my legs in Grade fou, why? Because girls I played netball with said I had hairy legs and they embarrased me. So, I got home that night, got my dad's Phillips Electric and shaved them. I have never had that sae baby smooth skin feeling agin since having that first shave. I curse those girls everytime I shave even now...and I hope my girls do not go down the path I did at such a young age. Will their fellow students do the same thing to them? I hope not.ReplyDelete
Just yesterday, Mia came up to me and said, "Look mummy, I have got BROWS on my arm!" I looked, and her little 4 year old arm had her lovely fine white hair standing on end...it was cold, and it was about to rain. I said to her, "They are hairs lovely, they are not eyeBROWS".
My other half uses the epilady, I brought it for her a few years ago now. Icould never do it, my leg hair is too course, I prefer to continue shaving. Other half does arms, legs, fingers..most places. I am not brave to do so.
At work, the young girls say they use one of those mittens to exfoliate after waxing, especially after the brazillian waxing.

Watson links galore, and some profound food for thought on social learning
AcdntlPoet 2700019V2G Visits (3609)
The replay of the TED talk "Final Jeopardy! and the Future of Watson" is available here:
Host Stephen Baker, author of "Man v. Machine," discusses Watson's performance on Jeopardy!, and the possible real-world applications of this technology with a panel of experts. The panel includes: IBM Watson Principal Investigator Dr. David Ferrucci, IBM Fellow and CTO of IBM's SOA Center for Excellence Kerrie Holley and Columbia University Professor of Clinical Medicine Dr. Herbert Chase.
I highly recommend taking the 33 minutes and watching this panel discussion. Some amazing bits of information about Watson's early beginnings, challenges, and what the future may hold. Exciting stuff!
And how about some other links about IBM's Watson while we're at it... lots of great info here:
As you digest all the information from the links above, I'll leave you with this: Jim Powers, a Worldwide Technical Enablement Lead for IBM Software Group, Sales, gave us some fun and interesting insights after Wednesday night's final Jeopardy! game.
Jim notes:
"I had the privilege of attending the Littleton lab event last night to watch Watson kick some (very smart) human butt with 300+ of my colleagues and their families. I was both impressed and proud (as was the rest of the audience), as we watched a machine about the size of several refrigerators make television history.
Some great food for thought there, Jim...
This week has truly been ground breaking for our understanding of what natural language processing can accomplish. I can't wait to see where this technology takes us in the future, both from the machine perspective personified by Watson, but also from the social-learning and social business perspective as Jim outlined. Exciting times!
I, for one, welcome our new computer overlords

Lots of fun last night at the Watson Viewing Party in the IBM MassLab in Littleton, Massachusetts. The cafeteria (and the overflow All-Hands Room) were standing-room-only, filled with IBMers - past and present - and their families.
All I can say is ... "wow!"
And maybe: "What is up with Watson's betting strategy?"
I've posted a couple of pictures here, and more on the IBM Rational Support Facebook page.

The following projects were supported by the BioLogos Evolution & Christian Faith grant three-year program.
BioLogos does not necessarily endorse the views expressed by the project leaders or their institutions, nor do the project leaders or their institutions necessarily endorse the views expressed by BioLogos.
Evolutionary Creation and Christian Ethics
St. Louis University
Dr. Craig Boyd
Biological evolution has traditionally presented a challenge to Christian faith for two primary reasons: (1) it seems to call into question the dignity of humanity, and (2) it seems to present a threat to a literal understanding of the Creation narratives. It could be said that these two problems have received the greatest amount of attention. However, evolution has also presented at least two difficulties for Christian faith in that it (1) seems to be the basis for a kind of "naturalistic evolution" – that is, if human nature is constantly changing, doesn't it seem as if the standards of our behavior would also need to change?, and (2) if evolution seems to advocate the "survival of the fittest" doesn't this necessarily lead to a kind of moral "social Darwinism?" I argue that that to embrace evolutionary creation does not require that theists must defend a kind of "scientific moral relativism" since the principles of natural law ethics and the development of the virtues seem to converge with the ways in which people have evolved. However, the challenge of social Darwinism has been recently advocated by various people who see themselves as "Christian libertarians" who want to follow the economic teachings of Ayn Rand while simultaneously being a disciple of Christ. Rand presents a naïve version of social Darwinism and fails to understand how compassion and love can develop in an "evolutionary world."
Support for the National Longitudinal Study of Religion and Human Origins
Calvin College
Dr. Jonathan Hill
This project will field a national survey of U.S. adults (N=3,000) designed to profile how faith commitments and social context influence beliefs about human origins. No detailed, nationally representative account of religion and human origins presently exists. The existing survey data on this topic are typically limited to a single question included in general population surveys. These snapshots are often unsophisticated in their mapping of beliefs about human origins, conflating complex views into simplistic categories. This survey will carefully probe beliefs about human evolution, divine involvement in the creation of humans, the historical existence of Adam and Eve, geological timeframes, and original sin, making sure to carefully catalog the entire spectrum of possible positions. Moreover, this survey will pay careful attention to the social context of these beliefs by exploring what friends and family believe, if church leaders take a stance on these issues, what the perceived social consequences of changing beliefs would be, and the influence of science education. The immediate outcomes of this project will include both popular and scholarly articles that disseminate the main findings from the survey. In the long term, this project ultimately aims to provide a solid empirical base for informed dialogue among Christians committed to taking seriously both scripture and science. By accurately assessing what people believe about human origins, and taking concrete steps toward understanding why people hold these beliefs, this project can help forge a better way forward that is grounded in both knowledge and Christian charity.
From Monkeys or From Dirt? Cognitive Science and Human Origins
Bethel University
Dr. Adam Johnson
Evolution appears to provide the best scientific account for many aspects of human and animal biology. However, evolutionary accounts of human origins – even those consistent with theism – are poorly understood and accepted within many Christian communities. Why? Although this observation is frequently explained in terms of social or theological responses, we hypothesize that the cognitive demands associated with constructing a coherent scientific, philosophical, or theological account ofhuman origins push many people to their natural cognitive limit and, consequently, shape these origins discussions.
Constructing a coherent account of human origins requires vast memory resources and comprehension – more than most people freely have available in our busy world.We hypothesize that the cognitive burden embedded within human origins discussions produce a variety of emotional responses that influence origins discussions. Overly complicated discussions produce negative emotions such as exhaustion, frustration and cognitive dissonance. We tend to avoid ideas and explanations that produce such negative emotions. As a result, it's often less cognitively and emotionally burdensome to neglect theological commitments – as in atheistic evolutionary accounts – or philosophical and scientific commitments – as in biblically literalist accounts. The cognitive perspective suggests that theistic evolutionary accounts frequently pose a variety of cognitive and emotional burdens that atheistic evolutionary and biblical literalist accounts do not pose.
Our research will examine the cognitive and emotional challenges presented by different human origins accounts, determine whether presenting theistic evolution as a narrative or story can overcome these cognitive and emotional challenges, and lead to broader discussion of human origins.
Evolutionary Psychology and Christian Views on Human Thriving
Fuller Theological Seminary
Dr. Pamela King, Dr. Justin Barrett, and Dr. James Furrow
Because Christian psychologists have largely stayed away from evolutionary psychology, the metaphysical and ethical assumptions of its non-theist practitioners have tended to become passively accepted and conflated with the genuine scientific insights of this area of science. Evolutionary psychology need not be practiced in a way hostile to theism or Christianity, but holds intellectual and methodological resources that may invigorate Christian psychology around some of humanity's biggest questions. This project demonstrates the fruitfulness of placing evolutionary psychology and Christian theological anthropology into direct conversation by considering the question: What is human thriving? The Fuller Evolutionary Psychology and Human Thriving Project is an interdisciplinary research project drawing upon the fields of theology, evolutionary psychology, and developmental psychology. Through a process of convening leaders in theology, the social sciences, and the church, the project will produce a jointly authored volume; reports for Christian academics, ministers, and educators; a course curriculum for seminaries; and web-based resources that will enable Christians to understand the philosophical and methodological significance of evolutionary psychology as it relates to human thriving. Of particular importance to the project is the role of the church in enabling its congregants to thrive spiritually and as persons. The Fuller Theological Seminary team is led by Pamela Ebstyne King, a developmental psychologist and ordained minister (P.C. USA) and is joined by cognitive and evolutionary psychologist, Justin Barrett; attachment scholar and marital and family therapist, Jim Furrow; and analytic theologian, Oliver Crisp.

Sonic Wings Special
Published by

[add review | score detail | rate game]
DescriptionA secret organization called Fata Morgana is developing a weapon that is capable of killing or wounding two-thirds of the world's population. A super-national group of combat experts from all over the world called Project Blue has been established to counteract Fata Morgana's evil doings.
Sonic Wings Special is an enhanced and expanded port of Aero Fighters Special (Sonic Wings Limited in Japan), a coin-op shoot-'em-up with vertical scrolling. The original coin-op game uses altered levels, graphics and many features from Aero Fighters, Aero Fighters 2 and Aero Fighters 3.
The home console version adds new characters and endings, new bosses, updated graphics and unlockable planes. There are also Time Attack and 2-player modes. The game uses a branching stage system, so it is impossible to see all levels in one sitting. There is a total of 14 playable characters and many different endings (some of which are reused from previous games in the series). Overall the game has a comic feel.
As of Summer 2012, the Android version of Sonic Wings Special has only 4 playable characters with 4 endings and 9 stages. However, the publisher is planning to add further elements of the original version.

Same experience here as previous poster, website very lacking compared to others like Wanstalls and Frontier. I'm a member of TSC but they need to get their sh!t together when it comes to running retail operations and memberships ... total mess.
People who work there are top notch and the facility is great so don't let it slip like that.

What do you think guys....I know it is rough....but regarding fundamentals, proportion, etc......ok?
What do you think guys....I know it is rough....but regarding fundamentals, proportion, etc......ok?
A few issues. First, the proportions are indeed off. The face is too large for the head, the nose is too long, and this in turn is pushing the mouth too low on the face. The corner of the jaw is too low as well.
The major planes of the head aren't properly establish (the cheek on our left is culprit, among other areas). Look up an Asaro head, and start learning the major planes.
The neck is poorly realized, as it's currently so obstructed that it doesn't feel connected to the head.
There are some inconsistencies with your light source. It seems to largely be coming from our right, but the lower eyelid of the left eye (our left), as well as the flesh above the upper eyelid, point to the light source being on our left.
The brush work is too small and patchy. Always use as large a brush as possible for blocking in your major values and shapes (it's always a size larger than you think you need). The texture on the top of the hat is alright, but the sides of the hat read as being stringy and haphazard. Again, focus on the major planes, and be selective where you choose in introduce texture later on.
The values aren't bad, but still too safe. You have no true light lights or dark darks. Your 3-4 major value groups should be able to stand on their own and define a strong composition.
Noting that the filename is Ana2, I was unaware that this person is supposed to be female. You can take from that what you like. Overall, the piece isn't terrible, but there's a lot of room for improvement. If you require more specific critique, might I suggest posting the ref here as well, though I feel I've covered most of the major issues holding you back. All the links in my signature are worth a read, especially the General Art Tutorial (the value massing link is also pertinent here, but it's a little more complex).

OOoh my.....that's awesome critique.....i'll get in to it soon....
btw....here is the ref....
Remember that portraits are by far one of the hardest things to paint successfully - we have parts of our brains dedicated to facial recognition, making achieving an accurate likeness that much more difficult compared to drawing a believable chair or lion.
As such, don't be afraid to take measurements to guide your construction. How does the distance between tear ducts compare to the width of each eye? How does that length compared to the length of the nose? The tip of the nose? The distance from the nose to the upper lip? The distance from the upper lip to the lower lip? How many times does the distance from tear duct to nostril fit in the entire height of the head? How does the total height compare to total width?
The more accurate your initial measuring (usually done with a stick or pencil held out at arm's length), the more accurate the resulting drawing will be. If the proportions are off, everything will look off no matter how well the rendering is done. Remember that the goal is to construct the head as a 3D form. Start with a cube, then chisel away until you have the basic head shape.
These tutorials by Ron Lemen may be of use:
Keep in mind that your ref might be a tad difficult to work from, as you have multiple light sources, as well as grain obscuring the smaller forms (such as the thickness of the eyelid). It's not a bad reference, but it looks potential difficult for newer artists. At the very least you should convert the ref to grayscale so as not to confuse yourself anymore than you need to.
I've also attached an image showing how much your measurements differed from your source. The red lines were drawn from the ref, then duplicated and roughly aligned over your painting. Hopefully it is eye-opening at the very least. Let me know if you have any further questions:
Some Helpful Links:
Value Massing ● Prometheus|ANJ's General Art Tutorial ● Elwell's Edge Tutorial ● Back to the Basics FAQ
started to figure out proportions and relative distance....any better?
Better, but still needs some work. The placement of the mouth is a bit off, the mouth extends too far to our right, and the silhouette of the head is very off. Pay attention to her jawline on our left, and especially the contours on our right (eye socket, cheek, jaw, chin). Try to feel the depth, and be extremely aware of what forms overlap what. Be sure to draw the entire head, even what will be obscured by the hat and hair. It's useful for making sure you have the overall structure correct, and it's great practice for when you work from imagination.
While you're at it, you should double and even triple check all your measurements - it's surprisingly easy for things to stray once you start drawing everything out. If you're any less than perfect here, things will look off (or at least the likeness will be lost) once everything is painted. The more effort you pour into the early stages, the better your end result will be.
Be sure to emphasize the major forms and planes of the head. Again, this is shown well in an Asaro head, as well as the two links I posted previously. Find them as they relate to your reference, and define them. Note that the teeth as a whole are a rounded cylinder, and the lips wrap around this cylinder. The eyes are spheres, with eyelids wrapping around them. The eyelids themselves have a thickness to them - taking special care of this will go a long way to making them look less symbolic and truer to life.
Remember to draw out all the major planes - not just for the head, but for the hat, scarf and jacket as well. Have a strong mental separation of what belongs to the front plane, and what belongs to the side plane.
Before you add your first pass of values, you should take the time to draw out the shape of all the shadow groups. Find how they relate to each other, and pay attention to when they help to define a major plane (either by form shadows or by cast shadows).
This is all a lot of information to soak in, but the concepts you begin to grasp here will be useful for everything you draw in the future. If you ever feel yourself stagnating, that's the perfect excuse to draw and paint more from life, focusing on the fundamentals.

How it looks....a tiny better?
Little more refined....but just little
While it most definitely looks better, I think you need to ask yourself what the point of the exercise is: What are you learning from tracing a photograph?
On the other hand, if it's a gift for the girl in the photo or whatever, I guess go for it using any means necessary, but if the point is to learn how to achieve likeness, or training your eye to accurately recreate proportions, then I can't see how tracing is being helpful. Either way, I'd try to get rid of the dull gray background. Paint in some gradations, make it interesting. Also, try to get rid of your linework, specifically in the face, and try to convey the forms using only value. Good luck!
I know...and i agree with you....but I was sooo frustrated with my inability to make it perfect that I decided to trace it and get into values and rendering.. Bad reason I know....
It's amazing how it's easy to screw up if one don't know what to look for, even when tracing.
You should trace not only feature contours but the shadow shapes too. They are a bit tricky to see. Squint at the photo and you'll be able to see them better. This includes soft shadows. Their contour can be traced at the midsection of a soft transition. Same goes for highlights. Once you have features, shadows and highlights structure traced, you can proceed to add value and soften the transitional edges where needed.
Frustrated? Good. It indicates you've got a real problem you need to focus on, not sweep it under the rug or put pretty ribbons on it.

Shouts out to my man Kentral
I've had some pretty bad luck lately. Somebody got my bank info and started buying up all types of crazy shit (still haven't got all my money back. Shouts out to Bank of America). My car won't start and I can't get it fixed because I don't have my money, and I woke up to today with a terribly sore throat. Guess what though? I'm still happy as ever and I'm still probably gonna work on some music sometime today. I just need some Starbucks. Lol
So I woke up to go to work this morning and my car wouldn't start. Needless to say I didn't go to work. However, I did get a chance to work on a lot of music. I got hungry and didn't have any food in the house so I walked to store. I really got a chance to clear my mind and I realized a few things:
- It was cold as hell outside today
- Everyone has a story. I want mines to be worthy enough to listen to
- The production process for Soundtrack to Greatness: A Look at Love may be put on hold (more details soon)
- My introversion keeps me sane
Of course I missed making some money today, but I learned some valuable lessons about myself and others.

There's a valuable lesson learned, so that evens it up for me" -Hov
