7,548 total episodes
How in the bloody hell do you like someone who cut my poor Lubbo in half? Sorry, your opinion enrages me. :P
It's totally cool. Some of the moderators here try to "claim" certain shows and work on them as they air. Sometimes we wait for a few episodes to make sure of the tags we are using and to get the best picture to use for the database. You are not not doing anything wrong, and please continue to help us, Thank You by the way. I was just being reactionary because I'm working on the Kore wa Zombie 2 anime myself :) And sometimes I just need a little time.
Just to follow up on unitzero's post, here's a thread that explains the situation :)
Basically, all newly airing series are divvied up between the moderators, to ensure we can get characters added as quickly as possible. We ask that users give us a few days after an episode has aired before adding chars to it - this way we can get as many chars added as possible (as moderating user submissions takes twice as long as adding the chars ourselves). Thanks for your help!
Could you please wait a minute before adding obiovus stuff to the database. For example Zombie 2 just got subbed today and you went and attached all of the characters. The moderators are in fact on top of most of this stuff, most of the time, just give us a few days. You are making more work for us by doing this, it is really not helping at all. thank :D
Hey, I was just going through a few of your submissions, specifically a few that just added ages, and I wanted to let you know we generally don't add an age tag unless we're pretty sure what it is (either the character says it, or infers their age). So in the future perhaps add the reason you know they're an adult/teen/elderly in the comment section? Thanks, it makes it earlier for us to confirm it's true ^^

NFL Announced Ted Wells Will Lead Investigation
Due to the severity of the scandal, the NFL pulled no stops when they announced on Nov. 6 that Ted Wells, a prominent New York lawyer, would lead the investigation. "He will ensure that we have all the facts so that we can address this matter constructively," NFL commissioner Roger Goodell said.

As much as I LOVE well-designed greeting cards (especially of the letterpress variety!), I will almost always resort to making a card by hand versus buying one in a store. It's just something I have always done and I will probably always do, as I'm more than happy to sit down with my favorite paper supplies and craft up a love note for my favorite people! Here are three cards I made for the special women in my life in celebration of this past Mother's Day:
Supplies: Dear Lizzy Serendipity Patterned Paper Pad // Dear Lizzy Serendipity Sticker Roll // Dear Lizzy Serendipity Puffy Stickers // Dear Lizzy Serendipity Pleather Bows // Dear Lizzy Fine and Dandy Sticker Roll // Multicolored Chipboard Thickers // Gold Foil Thickers // Craft Scissors // Tape Runner
I look forward to the day that I can recruit Briar to help me make cards and show our nearest and dearest just how much we love them :)

Not all canines can swim, even some that are considered to be "water dogs." Some breeds aren't suited for swimming, and dogs with health issues, puppies and older canines can be put at risk. Boaters are required by law to provide a life vest for each person on board. A pet life vest is equally important if you take your dog with you on a boat or spend an afternoon swimming and playing at the beach or pool.
Boating is a fun summertime activity as long as everyone on board stays safe, including pets. Swimming can also pose a danger to dogs if the body of water has strong currents, like rivers or the ocean. Life vests can save lives. Here are five good reasons why your dog should wear a life vest when enjoying water activities.
Swimming Ability
Dog breeds bred to work in water have water resistant coats, webbed feet, and a tail that works like a rudder. Even though these breeds are comfortable in water and considered strong swimmers, they can still run into trouble in some circumstances, especially if they become fatigued. Dogs that have a large chest and small hindquarters are top heavy and not strong swimmers. Bulldogs, Boxers and Dachshunds have a hard time trying to stay afloat and are more apt to sink like a rock. Dogs with pushed-in noses and short-legged breeds tire easily.

Articles Assassin's Creed 3
The PC version Assassin's Creed 3 comes out soon. The following review is based on the XBox 360 version, but we don't expect major differences, except for an improvement on the already excellent graphics.
Although Assassin's Creed 3 begins trying to be a different from its predecessors, overall it maintains the same virtues and defects of them despite the new American revolution setting.
You play as an Anglo-Native American called Connor, who will find himself present at many decisive moments in the early history of the US. While that might sound a little Forrest Gump, it does make Assassin's Creed 3 genuinely fascinating, as feeling a part of these historical moments is a great feeling. The atmosphere in Assassin's Creed 3 is beautfully captured by the excellent graphics in all the locations. Like previous games, Assassin's Creed 3 has some jaw dropping vistas and really succeeds in bringing its historical setting to life.
Combat is what you will expect from Assassin's Creed, and although there are new weapons to try out, it can be as repetitive as ever. A new area of combat is naval battles, and they are spectacular. Controlling your boat is simple, but great fun, and amazing to watch.
The problem with Assassin's Creed 3 is essentially hand-holding. Unlike say, Dishonored, where you are left to your own devices to achieve your goals, AA3 always suggests what you should do. Too often you'll find missions are sequences of cut scenes with very simple action in between. In Dishonored you feel like the protagonist, but too often in AA3 you're just an observer.
Despite this, Assassin's Creed 3 has some great moments. There are wonderful recreations of the American wilderness, early Boston, and New York to enjoy, but if you weren't convinced by the earlier games, this won't convince you.
Review last updated: 02/11/12
- First few hours are refreshingly different
- Naval battles are great fun
- Impressive views and atmosphere
- Not enough improvement over earlier games
- Too much in game help!
- Repetitive missions

Chicago's premiere venue for first class nightlife, bottle service and special events
Studio Paris never disappoints! Love this club.
Lively bottle service
Beautiful girls!!! Nice drinks!!! Excellent music!
Good on the bouncer to let only a certain number of people up. That way it feels lively but not overcrowded.
Mostly booths with a smaller dance floor; however, if you have a booth, it's an amazing time. Great service, amazing music, lots of girls. Larger groups of guys would need bottle service to get in.
They have some good djs come every so often!
Top in Chicago nightlife
Nice.club, good.atmosphere, great music... Ladies the bathroom line is a headache!!!!
😍 The best party in Chicago!!
Deff coming back 👍🎶🍸
Grey Goose Night Vision Magnum for bottle service!
Make sure to order the Grey Goose Night Vision light up magnum bottle! 😉
Meh. :/
My sexual preference
My "tip" is to tip well. Why? Because your experience is worth it.
too pretentious of a nightclub. no dance floor whatsoever (so really whats the point of having featured djs or other acts?) and the club is entirely made up of booths so you have to PAY to sit down.
Know the DJ
The bouncers are only cute from afar...
Go early, when you can sit in the good seats and order drinks à la carte.
Trendy little spot if you're looking to party with the in-crowd. Buyer beware, there's usually a minimum of two bottles for bottle service during peak hours.
Def THE SPOT to hit up if you're into the nightlife scene. Very impressed to see a nice rooftop scene after coming from DC.
Horrible food, horrible service, would never go there again
Always hoppin' and the DJ plays music you want to hear!
French 75 all the way!
Great spot! Love the music, crowd, plus delicious cocktails too! Staff is friendly and people always willing to invite you to their table!
Wait... I'm not 21 anymore!?!
I've always had a great time- sometimes difficult to get in, but always worth it... it's a hot spot so expect it unless you're getting table service. the staff is fun and friendly! always good music!
Dancing on tables is highly encouraged. As is screaming at the top of your lungs. Shake that booty!
Enjoy a crisp cold glass of Moncontour Rosè!
Don't waste your time here. They are arrogant, pretentious and they don't care about service. They care about trying to come off as "the hottest place to be" when they aren't.
Awesome place and always a great time!
2,500-square-foot rooftop bar with a retractable roof, in case of rain. Reservations-only via Paris Club at 312-595-0800. Bottle service late on weekends; a table minimum at other times.

Protecting Heritage Places
10 steps to help protect the natural and cultural significance of places
Australian Heritage Commission, 2000
Step 6: What do you want to achieve? (continued)
Tips for writing your objectives
Defining objectives can be done with a group, which helps generate a common vision for the place. Whether you are working individually or as part of a group, you will need to get agreement on your objectives. This will ensure that all those involved with the place knows exactly what they are working towards.
Try following these tips when writing management objectives.
- State how you would like to see the place in the future (what it will look like if you are successful).
- Be clear and realistic. Don't be too ambitious. This is just your framework. It sets the direction. There is little point having objectives that you can't make happen.
- It may help to start your objective with the word 'to..' followed by the action you want to happen (ie 'to conserve the woodland...') or how it will be in the future (ie 'a healthy and protected ecosystem for an endangered marsupial').
- Make sure your objective is about retaining the heritage significance of the place.
- Your objectives should also address the key management issues concerning the place.
- You may need to refer to both compatible and incompatible uses. For example, compatible uses of a significant wetland may be birdwatching, but an incompatible use may be waterskiing.
- Establish criteria that will tell you and others if you have achieved what you want. These are called indicators. They help you to monitor progress towards your objectives. They also help you to evaluate whether you have achieved your objectives.
More information on preparing and writing conservation policies for historic heritage can be found in The Conservation Plan by James Semple Kerr, available from the National Trust. For natural heritage guidance can be found in the Natural Heritage Places Handbook: Applying the Australian Natural Heritage Charter to conserve places of natural significance. See details of these publications in the Resources section.

Strange on Pinehurst's charm, favorites at U.S. Open
Tuesday, June 10, 2014
PINEHURST, N.C. – Curtis Strange didn't win one of his back-to-back U.S. Open titles at Pinehurst No. 2, but his affection for the venue was obvious a mere 30 seconds into an exclusive one-on-one interview with Golfweek last week.
"It's my all-time favorite," said Strange, 59, a World Golf Hall of Fame member who won U.S. Open titles in 1988 and '89. "I played it last week. It's interesting. Every hole has its own character. Nothing looks the same. It's a wonderful layout."
Strange, a member of ESPN's television crew that will bring live coverage from North Carolina starting Thursday, is a fan of Pinehurst's old-school look and feel – a year after being disappointed by the setup at Merion, the 2013 U.S. Open venue.
"You need to defend a course by making the player drive it in the fairway and an iron into the green," Strange said. "Not be trickery or questionable hole locations. Or moving fairways like Merion did last year. It loses the integrity of the hole from the designer.
"Merion is such a great golf course, but they moved some of the landing positions (off the tee) into the rough. People don't understand that you can defend the golf course by doing little things like that.
"You could design the hardest course, but that doesn't mean it is a good golf course."
Strange opened up about a variety of topics in the photo interview, including players whom he thinks the world should keep an eye on at Pinehurst:
• • •
You played Pinehurst last week, so what should the players expect to see?
"Not much has changed. About 10 new tees are in, but the routing, the design, the greens are all the same. The fairways are a bit wider, but they are not going to play that wide.
"Everything outside the fairway is sand, wiregrass – basically undergrowth. It's basically weeds. I was surprised. I thought it'd just be sand and wiregrass, but anything grows (in the rough) . . . tall weeds, low weeds. I guess they decided to just let it grow. It's going to be rough and penal."
• • •
Whom does the course favor this week?
"You have to think strategic placement around Pinehurst, especially angles into the greens. Accuracy with your short game is going to be key. Yes, you have to be able to get it out there (off the tee). But the greens aren't large to start with, and they are going to be plenty firm, if the weather allows. The area that you have to land it in (on the greens), it shrinks because of the firmness, so having shorter irons will lead to consistently putting for makeable birdies.
"Having said that, a big hitter that's putting in the fairway is going to be tough to beat."
• • •
U.S. Open courses can be brutal, yet you won back-to-back. What does it take to win a U.S. Open?
"Comes back to the same ol', same ol' . . . experience. You learn how to play a U.S. Open golf course. A big hitter must put it in the fairway instead of bombing.
"Your patience level has to change completely. You expect to make four to five birdies a round on the PGA Tour. But in the U.S. Open, par is a good score. You have to take advantage of the few looks at birdies. When you miss a fairway, you have to salvage par any way you can. You can miss a green on Tour and get aggravated with yourself. You can't do that at a U.S. Open. You must stay focused, change gears and salvage par.
"The U.S. Open will identify any problems you have with your game."
• • •
What's more important: being mentally or physically superior?
"You have to come into a U.S. Open well-rested mentally. You can go out there and do your work physically, but you really can't do more to get ready for a U.S. Open. It's a tough grind. The U.S. Open is a marathon."
• • •
Whom have you identified as a favorite this week at Pinehurst No. 2?
"Adam Scott has plenty of game to do well there. Justin Rose won last year and is capable of doing that this year. Rory McIlroy, it's fun to watch him play better. And then there's an interesting group of players that have not won a major, but are certainly capable, like Matt Kuchar . . . Jimmy Walker, Patrick Reed – a lot of young players.
"The big question is Bubba (Watson). He's interesting to me. You wouldn't think that he'd ever be a U.S. Open champion, but that's selling him a little short. He won the Masters twice. He's done well. We thought the same things about Phil Mickelson."
• • •
How does winning the U.S. Open rank against other majors?
"That's a loaded question with me. It is always great fun to go to Augusta. It's the same course. and you know everything about it. You see the people once a year under the oak tree. But the U.S. Open, it's the national championship. It doesn't have the glitz that Augusta has, or maybe the excitement, or maybe even the beauty. But it's your national championship, and there are some pretty good names on that trophy. It's the biggest thing you could ever do (in American golf)."
• • •
You'll be a part of ESPN's coverage of the U.S. Open. What are your thoughts on Tiger Woods' absence and what it does for the rest of the field?
"I think viewership will be fine. Give these other players credit. Give Pinehurst credit. A great champion will survive four days at No. 2. Sure, Tiger's name will come up once per day; it's hard not to. He has been such a dominant figure. And he's still at an age where he could still win majors. But I've always given the other guys credit."

Whining and other forms of leaking?

Whining and other forms of leaking?
Hi everyone,
So, I am gearing up to buy my next pup.
My current dog was the first dog I owned. In the 3 years I've owned him we both learned a ton about schutzhund - he learned how to be an IPO dog (getting our IPO2 in the spring if all goes well) and I learned a ton about handling, engagement, bite work, helper work on and on.
He was purchased as a pet, but luckily did very well on the training field. Outgoing, confident, medium drive, and once he hit 2.5 years old he started bringing some nice aggression. Biddable, can handle pressure from handler and/or helper, and is a super pet as well
Anyway, the one thing I could never fix is whining. He was a whiner from the start. Teaching containment helped but did not completely remove the problem.
At home, on the field, he'll whine. Not 24/7. I don't want to paint a picture of a dog that wakes up whining and none stop until he sleeps. Overall he is mellow at home, can turn it up for obedience and protection, and can turn it off when needed.
But the whining. I HATE IT!!! It's like nails on a chalkboard for me.
As I'm gearing up to buy a puppy FOR schutzhund I understand the drive levels may be higher. And with that, I think I'll need to teach containment earlier rather than later...
Can I get some advice? How do you stop the whining? It's difficult to correct.
Ex: long down. He'll never break it, but may whine the whole time unless we did the routine first. I tried to correct it , and tried to reward quiet correct down.
I think, we all know dogs that simply leak all over the place. I know some of it is training and some genetic. I often see comments like "I do not tolerate leaking be it barking or whining or other form (shaking etc)" - but how exactly do you "not tolerate it"? What techniques worked for you?
P.S. here's the lineage. Like I said, I did not know much about GSDs at the time and was duped by being presented the mother's pedigree as a mating test for him (but that's neither here nor there) so he's mostly pet / BYB "lines" on father side but decent on the mother's side:

My sister and I were on the road and needed somewhere to stay. As soon as we drove into Iron Mountain, the Country Inn & Suites was the first place we saw. When I walked in to inquire about availability, friendly Phil at the front desk couldn't have been nicer. He entered our reservation for a two-bed room, and just from general chit chat, he discovered that we were in town for a funeral, qualifying us for the funeral rate. The rate we received was a great deal for what we got.
The rooms are all interior entrances, which is a bonus for two female travelers. The room was clean - very clean - which is #1 on my list of priorities. I didn't even mind walking barefoot in the room. The beds were large (queens I think) and ranked high on the comfort scale. We both slept til 9am which was highly unusual for us!
The night we checked in, we enjoyed a dip in the hot tub and indoor pool, followed by a really good pizza delivered right to our hotel room door from the pizza parlor across the street. We were also surprised by the generous number of channels available on the television.
The next morning, we enjoyed the complimentary breakfast (which is convenient and budget-friendly for travelers). They had self-serve waffles, oatmeal, cereals, doughnuts and yogurt. I do wish there were more healthy options but there was certainly more variety and quality than we expected. One bonus was that when I mentioned that I forgot my toothpaste, Phil (poor thing, still at the front desk that morning!) gave me a small tube that they had behind the desk for forgetful travelers like me.
One negative was that my cell service was unavailable most of the time - I have Sprint/Nextel - but my sister's AT&T was fine. I do not know the wi-fi or Internet situation since I didn't inquire - usually this is something important to me, so I wanted to mention it.
Overall this was a great facility for travelers passing through town, or even a family on the road.

I do a lot of headshots for actors and I do a lot of work with models. About a year ago or so, I decided that I wanted to do much more than take pictures of pretty people. I wanted to create work that would make people look and think. One way to achieve this was to find a process for turning my photographs into paintings (or digital art).
Noooo, of course I can't give you my recipe but I will say that it varies depending on the photo. Also, I've found that it doesn't work with every photo so it may affect how I shoot. Basically, I would have to photography my subjects in a way that is amenable to the process that turns them into paintings.
I'm really excited to have a specific look and style! While I am an Ocala photographer, the internet puts my work within your grasp wherever you are. Click on the link underneath the photo to purchase my work.

Ko Samui
August 2nd 2011
Published: August 16th 2011
Donna and Neil
Restaurant overlooking the lily pond
We were quite nervous about this trip to Thailand, we hadn't been to Koh Samui for 10 years and we had been wondering if we had made the right decision to revisit since we booked our flights!
Again, our flight arrived close to midnight so being the tight arses that we are, we waited in Bangkok airport until it was time for the first flight to Surat Thani. This time we were fully prepared for the transport mafia on arrival at Surat Thani as we had pre-researched our options. After our night in the airport with little sleep, we decided to go for the faster ferry option to Koh Samui. It was expensive at 650 baht each (£13) but it was half the journey time and we just wanted to get there at this point. We were put on a bus with a crazy driver (who are we kidding, they are always crazy drivers in Asia) who drove like a maniac to get us to Donsak pier to catch the 10am Lomprayah catamaran.
For once the journey went smoothly, apart from the two Beavis and Butthead-alikes who sat in front of us on the bus getting hammered on cans
Our lovely room
of Singha beer. First of all, it was 8am – they must have had really strong stomachs and second of all, you couldn't pay us enough money to drink Singha at any time of the day (it's one of the worst beers we have ever tasted!). We arrived into Nathon pier to the usual transport options – private taxi for 600 baht (WHAT? are these people crazy?) or a songthaew for 80 baht (£1.60) each. Well, no contest for us – we hopped in a songthaew as there was no way we were going to pay 600 baht for a 10 km journey!
Our other visits to Koh Samui had been when we still lived in the UK and went on holiday to Thailand. Back then we used to stay on Chaweng beach (the main tourist beach on the island), our last holiday visit to Samui was a disaster – constant rain, rude Thai's, overpriced everything and the tourist demographic was slowly changing. This time, we had researched very carefully and chose Maenam beach as it seemed to be very laid back and a little of the 'old Thailand' we were so fond of. The nice songthaew driver dropped
More food at Bophut night market
not quite sure what it was...deep fried something?
us on the main road at the eastern end of the beach and we started to look for a place to call home for 11 nights.
We wandered down onto the beach taking a look at a few places but we found that it's much better value away from the beach (as always), so we headed to Save House resort. Although Save House had no direct access to the beach, it was a lovely resort with well-kept gardens, a nice swimming pool and friendly staff. We managed to bargain the manager, Adam (we somehow don't think this is his real name!) down and got a huge air con room with hot water, big fridge and TV for 850 baht a night (£17) – we even had a bath, which was a little strange but it would come in handy, as you will read later on! We also hired a motorbike, again Save House was reasonable and charged 150 baht per day for the bike hire (£3) – what a bargain!
On our very first evening, we headed out for some food and had the most shocking experience in a restaurant we have ever had in Thailand. The name
Donna on Maenam beach
of the restaurant was Jar BBQ (this is so you can avoid it!) – it's right on the border between Maenam and Bophut on the ringroad. We sat and ordered our food, we were ravenous at that point as we had only had snacks all day. Then we sat…and sat…and sat….convincing each other the next dish out of the kitchen would be ours. We then just completely snapped – we realised we had been waiting for 2 hours!!! 3 other couples walked out at the same time as us and the people running the restaurant just shrugged their shoulders and seemed bemused as to why we were all complaining! It all worked out in the end though, we hopped on the bike and found a fantastic restaurant which served the most amazing food with huge portions. Not a moment too soon as Donna gets very cranky when she's not fed!
Having a motorbike really gave us a lot of freedom to explore and it was way cheaper than using the public transport! We managed to wander to several beaches and the Big Buddha, which as you can imagine is a big Buddha! Also big, were the prices charged in
Neil on the balcony
the little stalls at the foot of Buddha for cold drinks and ice lollies, wow, capitalism is alive and well with Buddha looking on! Our first drive to Chaweng beach shocked us – we were relieved we had chosen Maenam. We went to Chaweng at night and there were definitely more shops than there used to be. All the cheap, small Thai restaurants were also gone, and there had been a proliferation of Western food restaurants – there had always been some, but now it seems that almost every restaurant was serving Western food and the few Thai restaurants that were still open were deserted. Now we aren't trying to sounds snobby here, but we really don't understand people who fly for 14 hours to a far away country and eat exactly the same food as they do at home, especially when that country has THE best food in the world like Thailand does! Expats like us (or backpackers who have been away for a long time) eating western food, we completely understand as you just can't get decent sausages out here in SE Asia 😉! It has us completely bamboozled – these restaurants were pricey too, our evening meal
Donna on the balcony
on average cost us 300 baht for the two of us (that's £6ish, which was for a huge dish each, rice each and a drink each), in these western restaurants, one of the starters alone would be that price! Don't even get us started on the price of alcohol – a 'happy hour' of 100 baht cocktails (over £2), spirit plus mixer (both in tiny glasses) or a beer! Who knows what the price went up to after happy hour?! A few enterprising Thais had set up some little plastic chair bars next to the main Chaweng road, the cheapest was 89 baht a cocktail (£1.80) and these slightly cheaper drinks places were always the busiest with people drinking. This led us to think that some people were actually concerned about value for money and every baht saved helps? They certainly weren't at these 'bars' for the atmosphere and exhaust fumes that came free with the drinks!
As we have already mentioned, we are tight arses at heart so we have no problem doing without alcohol, especially when we worked out that two cocktails of said alcohol was equal to one massage. Well, that completely sold the idea of
The pool
was a little bit cold but the sun soon warmed it
not drinking and we instead treated ourselves to some fantastic foot and Thai massages – we had one foot massage each and two full body Thai massages. Oh wow, the massage place has a couple of branches on Chaweng (it's called Orchids) and the girls who worked there were masters of their profession, the massages were especially good as we had been taking advantage of the gym at our resort...
A couple of days into our stay, Donna managed to come down with some sort of illness, luckily she was still ok to sunbathe and wallow in the swimming pool or the lovely warm, calm sea – it's a tough life! The worst part of it was the aches and pains in her bones, so Neil had the bright idea of her soaking in a nice hot bath. Remember we had a bath in the room? Well, Donna felt a right numpty taking a bath in 35 degree, nice sunny weather but had to admit it made her feel better! We know for certain at this point, Donna's Dad will be thinking there's nothing wrong having a bath in that temperature, right, Paul?!
We only went to Chaweng
Neil overlooking Plai Laem beach
we drove for ages through back roads and then had to walk through a posh resort to find this beach
beach once during the day, we were dismayed at what the resorts had done to a once beautiful beach. Maenam beach is much how we remember Chaweng being, thick with palm trees and not too much development. Oh well, the march of progress and development happens; BUT a dishonourable mention and lots of slapped wrists for the resorts on Chaweng for cutting down so many palm trees, putting rows and rows of beach beds and umbrellas on the beach and cutting off access through their resorts to the public beach, very naughty under Thai law! The width of the beach had decreased enormously owing to resort encroachment. We have seen this happen in many places in Asia but not to this extent in such a short space of time. The worst offender we have to say on Chaweng is Al's Resort (middle part near Tops supermarket). There are so few palm trees and so much concrete, they must have bribed a lot of local government officials to have been allowed to build that monstrosity!
One thing for sure is that Samui is FANTASTIC for people watching – and oh, how we love to people watch! This brings us nicely
Neil looking at shoes at Bophut night market
...obviously not for him!
to our blog title – the phenomenon commonly known as peacocking was in full swing during our visit. On the beach, we had hours of free amusement watching couples strutting their stuff and preening. Need to put your hair back in a pony-tail? Why not stand up, cock one leg out and proceed to run your fingers through your hair for 5 minutes until enough people have seen you! Need to apply sun lotion? Why not stand up, cock one leg out and proceed to lovingly stroke your own legs and tummy as if you are in a TV commercial! Want to do some press-ups? Why not stand up, stretch and proceed to do them on the beach! Want to snog your partner? Why not stand up, each cock one leg out and proceed to snog the face off each other and while you're at it grope each other's arses! Yes, we seriously couldn't believe our eyes at some of the things people were doing on the beach…we wanted to shout 'get a room!' at some of them it was just so pornographic. We had never really seen peacocking before but now we fully understand the meaning of it! Later
Choeng Mon beach
my, how it has changed in 10 years
that night we saw a vendor selling peacock tail feathers, we were so tempted to buy some and present them to these people!
Night-time was just as good for people watching; in our favourite restaurant we actually had a really good laugh. A couple came into the restaurant and made their way to an empty table. The next thing we hear a loud bang, a high pitched girlie scream and the guy of the couple running away crying. The girlfriend started apologising, picked up the chair her boyfriend had knocked over and went running after him. The restaurant owners and ourselves were completely puzzled, then a couple of seconds later, a bug flew up from the table the couple went to sit at. Now ok, we may be used to bugs – but it wasn't THAT scary, it was about 6cm, green and had a hard back. It made one hell of a buzzing noise as it fluttered around, but to react like that? Well it gave us and the restaurant owners a laugh.
Worth a very brief mention are the other few bits we picked up people watching – big 80's hair seems to be making a
Donna on Plai Laem beach
come-back with Russian tourists (or maybe it never went out of fashion there?) along with very high-waisted short-shorts (for both men and women); all tourists seemed to be obligated to do a funny wai to the Thais. For those who don't know, a wai is putting your palms together and bowing your head, it's a mark of respect and greeting. However, we were always advised not to attempt it as there are too many faux-pas to do with how low you bow, how high your hands are etc. This funny wai involved lifting one leg back (usually the left), wobbling, bowing with palms together and almost falling over! Usually islands and beaches have divers cliques, but Samui seemed to have a TEFL (English teaching) clique who really looked down scornfully on non-teachers. Most tourists on Samui – well the ones we could understand – have really poor Maths skills. The number of times we heard, 'so, 1000 baht is £10, right?' made us want to stop and give an impromptu Maths lesson. Now, when it's roughly 48.5 baht to £1, no, 1000 baht is certainly NOT £10! One good thing, it makes Donna feel like a Maths whizz!
The Big Buddha
our last night on Samui we managed to get a flat tyre on the motorbike…it was a little bit hairy as we drove round a corner and Neil felt the bike losing traction and sliding. Some very quick reactions from him later and we were waiting at the side of the road outside Tesco's for the mobile puncture unit to come and repair the tyre. Yes, seriously – there is both a Tesco's and a mobile puncture unit! Two guys come along on a motorbike from the 24 hour garage shop-thing (let's not mention the robbing bastard motorbike taxi driver here who tried to take advantage!), jacked the bike up, banged a few things, twisted a few knobs (yes, as you can tell from the technical bike-speak, Donna is writing) and hey presto, the whole back wheel was off the bike. The two guys then drove away with our back wheel (with us thinking we hope they come back) and about 15 minutes later they were back with the fixed tyre…more banging of bits and twisting of knobs and the wheel was back on…really amazing, you wouldn't get service like that for 200 baht (£4ish) from Kwik Fit!
Maenam beach
was with real regret that we left Maenam, we had perfect weather, almost deserted beach, delicious food, and good people watching. But on the positive side we were heading for Bangkok to shop until we dropped. We had a lovely hotel in Bangkok (with a great breakfast!) but on our first night made the mistake of going to a restaurant at the Soi 7 (Sukhumvit) Food Court that we used to go to, which used to serve excellent, good value food. This had definitely changed, the food was terrible and overpriced. We were lucky we didn't throw up it was that bad; really bad and bland tourist fare food. We did find a good purple/pink coloured restaurant at Soi 12 Sukhumvit and was called Pantanee. Really friendly staff, fantastic food and fruit shakes and very good value! Less good value was Patpong night market, we really couldn't resist going to have a wander; we overheard quite a few vendors trying to charge silly prices like 5000 baht for a fake designer bag (£103!), strangely enough not many people were buying!
After two days of shopping, getting hair highlighted and cut (Donna, that is!) and spending lots of money on
Statue at the entrance of the Big Buddha
new clothes to replace our old worn out ones, our time in Thailand had all too soon come to an end.
We were sad to leave, but onwards to more adventures of our perpetual wandering!

Andrew & Nicola
Hi Donna & Neil! I've just finished reading your blog and I wanted to write and say that I've had a really enjoyable read! Firstly it was disbelief that you'd been travelling for so long, which quickly turned to awe when I realised that it was in fact true. You've inspired us to tinker a little more with our RTW plans, maybe spend less time in Thailand and go over to the Philipines instead, and just be generally flexible with where we want to go. As your blogs are getting less frequent now than they were in the beginning (as you aren't blogging from places you've already been) I know I'd find it really interesting if you could put a quick summary of all those places you've been to in-between at the top of your next blog, just at the moment I feel like there are big holes in your story! Thanks for keeping me entertained :o)

Inspired by classic Super Mario games, featuring a goomba^^ I used liquid polymer clay like a "faux resin" to cover everything and make the surface smooth^^
I hope you like it^^!
I hope you like it^^!
hey i have a question, isn't it illegal to make something out of something famous like say.. pokemon, mcdonalds, Starbucks and sell it? or even wear it?
I don't know about wearing it, but I think it's illegal to sell without proper permission. That's why I don't mind showing it on dA and such, but I'm too paranoid to sell it
Looks cool, but could be more finished

How about the Ma or Pa that is subject to a hefty fine for breaking the law which forces the family to cancel a vacation or forgo junior's camp because they can no longer afford it....is this fair to the children?

At least he didn't blame the wrong kind of snow....
Is it true Osborne losses his Plan B in the heavy snowfall during December?
Good that manufacturing is bouyant But it is not as significant in the GDP as it was and it not a great big employer as it was so do'nt let us get too excited.
I think you mean the ONS 'blamed' the bad weather.
fhe loss of jobs is very sad.
But as the FT (all due copyright and other rights acknowledged) points out
'Pfizer, the world's largest pharmaceuticals group, Tuesday confirmed it would cut 6,000 jobs, or 18 per cent of its production staff, as part of a global restructuring triggered by last year's takeover of Wyeth.
The reductions accompany the closure of nine of its 78 factories in North America and Europe.
They come as a number of large drugs companies are cutting costs at a time of growing pressure on prices, aggressive competition by manufacturers of generics and a dearth of new drugs to replace those with expiring patents.'
I thought Labour and their acolytes wanted lower drug prices. Balls and they are still in search of their free lunch I'm afraid.
In fact some significant job numbers will be transferred to other companies, and we must hope that other opportunities will be open in 18 months when the closure takes place.
These job losses would have course taken place no matter who the government and no matter how enormous the likely stimulus that a Chancellor Balls would spray around.
The company is undergoing a massive restructuring world wide - 'Pfizer began restructuring its worldwide marketing and research and development operations in 2005, with about 30,900 employees expected to be let go when the process is complete. As of the end of the third quarter, about 26,300' --- or - 'its global and it all started in America.'
'Colin Blakemore, professor of neuroscience at the University of Oxford, says ...
'The pharmaceutical industry will go where it can recruit the best trained scientists and can interact with the best university researchers - that is what they used to value in this country.'
But its Labour who wants to keep universities poor by making them charge uneconomic fees. Poor universities poor research and no R&D.
Poor old Edward!! Must be looking forward to when his old buddy Sir Alan next visits Blighty.
Will Dave & Ozzy do a mega pro-growth budget, or fart around allowing Edward to make the running? Time to up their game, if they have one!! They could really bury the two Edwards in the gravel of Westminster.
Good to see the BBC are covering the good news too
I didn't see the ONS interviewed. I did see Georgey boy interviewed: he mentioned the snow 17 times in 5 minutes....
Glad to see you think 2300 high value jobs lost at Pfizer is good news for manufacturing too....
ever optimistic....
Aren't manufacturers companies who will therefore also benefit from a cut in corporation tax?

Was hoping to get your input on the bike at this link:
I am open to suggestions (brand, model number) for getting a reasonably priced bike in the hybrid category.
Thanks, your assistance is much appreciated!

A new market and deli in the Latrobe area received a stamp of approval from the El Dorado County Planning Commission at its meeting on Oct. 24.
To be called the Crossroads Market and Deli, a 2,432-square-foot building and an outdoor picnic area is planned for the west side of Latrobe Road, just north of the intersection with South Shingle Springs Road.
The developer of the property is the Paula Reece Revocable Trust.
The proposed project required a General Plan Amendment, a design review and a rezone. In addition a special use permit was requested so a farmers market, arts and crafts programs and other special events could be held on the property 15 times a year.
The development had previously attracted a few concerns from local residents and the Latrobe School District who worried about traffic impacts and the design aesthetics of the site.
Voting to approve the project were Chair Dave Pratt and directors Walter Mathews and Rich Stewart. Directors Tom Heflin and Brian Shinault were not at the meeting. The project now goes to the El Dorado County Board of Supervisors for final approval.
The commissioners also approved the rezoning of a 20-acre site in Cameron Hills near Cambridge Road and Knollwood Drive. The site has been approved for a total of 41 residential lots and five open space lots. To date no development has taken place on the property.
A rezone was required after minor changes to a previous development plan created a conflict between the modified map layout and the underlying zoning of the approved map. The rezone now goes to the Board of Supervisors for approval.
In another matter, the commission put off until later this year to hold a hearing to potentially revoke or change the conditions of a special use permit issued to a local company.
Issued to Sundance RV, Boat and Mini-Storage in 1999, the permit allowed an outdoor lumber storage area in conjunction with a building supply store. In 2000, the permit was modified to allow a cutting saw to do a limited amount of cutting for customers of the lumber yard.
However the activities at the lumber yard drew multiple complaints from nearby resident Bert Keeler who said noise from the high-speed planer and other equipment made living in his home "intolerable."
Planning staff reported they made an on-site inspection last year and found the owner was not abiding by provisions of the special use permit. In addition they noted an excessive amount of noise from the equipment and building activities.
As a result, the staff recommended a hearing be conducted, noting the conditions of the permit had been violated.
With the owner of the property not prepared for a hearing, the commission voted to continue the item to Dec. 12.

Great quality. The price was right! We used the fabric to make a curtain for our "Game Show" stage for VBS. Its a little see though which worked great for me because we dropped lights behind it. It's really beautiful!

All first-order averaging techniques for a posteriori finite element error control on unstructured grids are efficient and reliable
Abstract | References | Similar Articles | Additional Information
Abstract: All first-order averaging or gradient-recovery operators for lowest-order finite element methods are shown to allow for an efficient a posteriori error estimation in an isotropic, elliptic model problem in a bounded Lipschitz domain in . Given a piecewise constant discrete flux (that is the gradient of a discrete displacement) as an approximation to the unknown exact flux (that is the gradient of the exact displacement), recent results verify efficiency and reliability of
in the sense that is a lower and upper bound of the flux error up to multiplicative constants and higher-order terms. The averaging space consists of piecewise polynomial and globally continuous finite element functions in components with carefully designed boundary conditions. The minimal value is frequently replaced by some averaging operator applied within a simple post-processing to . The result provides a reliable error bound with .
This paper establishes and so equivalence of and . This implies efficiency of for a large class of patchwise averaging techniques which includes the ZZ-gradient-recovery technique. The bound established for tetrahedral finite elements appears striking in that the shape of the elements does not enter: The equivalence is robust with respect to anisotropic meshes. The main arguments in the proof are Ascoli's lemma, a strengthened Cauchy inequality, and elementary calculations with mass matrices.

If you have developed a dashboard addon and you'd like to serve a demo site, you'll need to protect your dashboard.
When clicking on "Add link" in the "Social Links" Dashboard page there is a dropdown with possible social link entries like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and so on. Here I'll show how to add other links with the example of StackExchange.
This How-To is for adding fonts to the Redactor plugin "fontfamily" in a package. The original fontfamily plugin just adds a dropdown with a few fonts.
Change the default " :: " separator to something else.
In 5.6, we could use $_SESSION but in 5.7, there is a built-in session class from Symphony.
Change the default photo of the day login page background image to a custom background image of your choice.
Change the default values for the block and block area custom style sliders.
Use Composer to declare your dependencies and download a third party library for use in your package. This example will use Stripe PHP.

Cutting-Edge Tech, Race Proven Performance
As with the Maverick Pro wetsuit, we put everything we know and love into our Viper swimskins. We built the Viper from the ground up and leveraged our experience as elite swimmers to deliver the ultimate swimskin — no compromises. We focused on every detail, from the world's fastest materials and hi-tech, bonded seam panel construction to low profile zippers and hidden stitch reinforcement. These details add up to free speed on race day. Pro and age group athletes wearing our Viper swimskins have had many First Out of the Water finishes — both in the professional and age group ranks. All of our swimskins are USAT and WTC legal, except for the Pro Long, which is not legal for WTC events.
This suit was First Out of the Water at the 2013 & 2014 Ironman World Championships in Kailua-Kona. In 2015, our Viper swimskins were the most popular swimskins overall in Kona, with nearly 25% of the field wearing them. If you are racing a non-wetsuit swim, you need this suit.
