Hello singhmaan7,
Thank you for the question. I found an article that addresses a purple spot that might appear when taking pictures with the iPhone camera:
A purplish or other colored flare, haze, or spot is imaged from out-of-scene bright light sources during still image or video capture.
Most small cameras, including those in every generation of iPhone, may exhibit some form of flare at the edge of the frame when capturing an image with out-of-scene light sources. This can happen when a light source is positioned at an angle (usually just outside the field of view) so that it causes a reflection off the surfaces inside the camera module and onto the camera sensor. Moving the camera slightly to change the position at which the bright light is entering the lens, or shielding the lens with your hand, should minimize or eliminate the effect.
You can find the full article here:
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

Hi singhmaan7
I had the same problem with my iphon 5
i tried everything to get these dots away.
Nothing worked...
So i went to a apple store and they told me it wont come out.
You have to either swap the camara(lense) or if u still have your warranty you will get a brand new one.
Good Luck with your problem
With kind regards

George Clooney isn't feuding with Leonardo DiCaprio.
'The Monuments Men' actor, who made headlines last year when he subtly dissed the 'Wolf of Wall Street' star during an interview, insists he has no issues with the 39-year-old actor.
The 52-year-old star told ABC News' 'Popcorn with Peter Travers': "Somebody made it like there was a big fight. I've known Leo a long time and somebody just made that a fight."
The former 'E.R.' star's publicist was forced to defend him after George suggested Leonardo surrounded himself with the wrong type of people when recalling a basketball game they once played together in Cabo San Lucas.
He said: "The discrepancy between their game and how they talked about their game made me think of how important it is to have someone in your life to tell you what's what. I'm not sure if Leo has someone like that."
His spokesperson later insisted: "The Leo comments were all made in fun about basketball. Not about Leo's life."
Meanwhile, George is disappointed he isn't a good singer, as he assumed he would be a talented vocalist like his legendary late aunt Rosemary Clooney, and claims he only discovered his inability to hold a tune when he was filming 'O Brother, Where Art Thou?' in 2000.
He said: "I went into a recording studio and T-Bone Burnett and Joel and Ethan [Coen] assumed that because I was Rosemary's nephew that I would be a great singer, and I kind of assumed that too. Then we got into the recording studio and I sang 'Man of Constant Sorrow' with all the music playing and I finished and looked up and there's that glass booth with all of them in it and no one would look me in the eye.
"Then they played it back and it was pretty bad. It was so bad that I made them destroy it."

Hmmm. Are you a classical geneticist, a population geneticist, or a medical doctor?
William Bateson coined this term about 100 years ago for a genetic interaction in which one mutation masks or suppresses the effects of another allele at another locus [1].
Two mutations have a genetic interaction when their combination yields a surprising phenotype that cannot be explained simply by the independent effects observed for each mutation alone.
RA Fisher used 'epistacy' and later 'epistasis' to describe genetic interactions more generally [2]. We think that population geneticists hijacked this term over a decade after its coinage just to confuse the classical geneticists.
A thin film on the surface of a urine specimen. Enough said on that topic.
Epistasis under the classical definition describes only interactions in which one mutant phenotype is masked or suppressed in the presence of the other mutation. The population geneticist's definition includes classical epistasis, but also encompasses 'aggravating' or 'synthetic' interactions – where two mutations together yield a surprisingly deleterious phenotype [3].
Epistasis, in the classical sense, provides a logical framework for inferring biological pathways from biochemical and other experiments, because it suggests that two genes are working within the same pathway and sometimes in what order they act. This makes epistasis analysis a very important tool in functional genomics experiments where pairs of genes are systematically deleted so that any interactions can be detected and interpreted in terms of biological interactions or pathways [4]. Epistasis analysis has already informed our understanding of the components and their order of action in every biological process we can think of.
All right, let us give you two examples.
First, the yeast genes BNI1 and BNR1, which encode so-called formin proteins involved in the nucleation of actin filaments, have an aggravating genetic interaction (epistasis in the non-classical sense). A mutation in either BNI1 or BNR1 causes cell polarity defects, but the yeast remain viable. However, deletion of both BNI1 and BNR1 in the same cells causes lethality (that is, they have a so-called synthetic lethal phenotype). The BNI1 and BNR1 pair exemplifies an aggravating interaction – and the information to be gained from non-classical epistasis more generally.
Not always. This is a good rule of thumb for positive regulatory pathways, like the one in the example we have just given, in which each step provides the basis for the next, or for biosynthetic pathways where genes encode enzymes that convert a substrate into a product.
Note that not every upstream-downstream relationship exhibits an 'epistatic to' relationship. For example, two mutant genes may yield the same phenotype if, for example, one gene product is required to recruit the other into an active complex. In such cases, we might expect the double mutation to yield the same pathway-disrupting phenotype as either alone. This kind of genetic interaction has been called 'complementary gene action', although some prefer the term 'coequality' [6].
On the other hand, mutations that don't cause complete loss of function can be a problem. Let's go back to the nematode sex-determining pathway in which HER negatively regulates TRA. But now assume that while the tra mutations are null, the ones in her are leaky – or hypomorphic, in the terminology (also devised by HJ Muller in 1932 [8]). The normal function of HER is to turn off TRA. So in a her mutant, TRA is turned on. Now in a double mutant in which the tra allele is null, you get XX animals becoming male, as described above, and so tra is epistatic to her. But if the tra allele is not null, then in the double mutant the XX animals may still take on some hermaphrodite character together with some male character, so the epistatic relationship would be unclear.
Not at all! Taking the torso pathway as an example, the remarkable thing is that the pathway was figured out using genetic experiments before either gene was cloned and found to be in the one case a receptor and in the other a transcription factor. Genetic and molecular experiments complement each other: if only molecular biology were available, there would have been no way of linking the receptor and the transcription factor in regulating the same developmental event; while, if only genetics had been available, then no understanding of the mechanism would have been possible. As another example, the first-known microRNA, lin-4, was first shown to be a repressor of its target gene, lin-14, based largely on the observation that lin-14 null mutations cause a phenotype opposite to that of lin-4(lf) and are epistatic to lin-4(lf) [9].
No. Although some co-equal interactions may correspond to upstream-downstream relationships that may be revealed when the right mutation comes along, many may simply correspond to genes that are working together as a cohesive unit. For example, a systematic genetic analysis of a well studied set of DNA repair genes found nine out of ten co-equal genetic interactions corresponded to protein interactions [6], and these included a 'clique' of co-equal interactions amongst all pairs of the four genes encoding a single complex (the SHU complex).
As we have already said, there has been a recent wave of information from functional genomics experiments, including efforts to systematically map genetic interactions. The availability of these data, combined with information on genome variation from next generation sequencing and other techniques, means that we have a remarkable opportunity to apply genetic analysis to reveal components and order of action in biological systems on a global scale. Systematic study of pairwise interactions is now feasible, and for genetically accessible systems such as yeast may even encompass all gene pairs.
One kind of analysis is comparison of genetic interaction profiles. For example, if gene A has 12 synthetic lethal interaction partners, and gene B has synthetic lethal interaction with the same 12 genes, their genetic interaction profiles are entirely overlapping. Indeed, several systematic studies have now clearly shown that clusters of genes with similar profiles often correspond to protein complexes or other biochemical modules, leading to many specific (and subsequently confirmed) biochemical predictions [10–12]. As just one example, YMR299C (now called DYN3) was predicted on this basis to be part of the dynein-dynactin pathway, which is involved in spindle assembly, nuclear movement and spindle orientation during cell division [8], a prediction later confirmed [13].
Maybe. But you may wish to consider alternatives such as a career in politics or, failing that, investment banking.

UFC 115: Rich Franklin with broken arm knocks out Chuck Liddell
Could Chuck Liddell come back and deny his 40 years, prove that his punch resistance was not as vulnerable as many critics and fans had thought, and could he begin a campaign to re-unite himself with the UFC light-heavyweight title ? The answer was an emphatic 'NO' in Vancouver, where the Ultimate Fighting Championship made its debut with version 115.
Liddell's career is over. Or at least should be. Huge eulogies to his career, demeanour and the fact that he has become MMA's first genuine superstar in and out of the sport, would be fitting. But his fighting days now need an elegy. Successive KOs to Rashad Evans, Shogun Rua, and now Rich Franklin prove that the once iron-clad chin can take the 4 0z mitts no more. Five losses in his last six fights, since he was beaten by Quinton Rampage Jackson in 2007.
There were no words from the big man after the main event. He went off to hospital for a check up. "I don't have one sad feeling in my body," said UFC President Dana White, one of Liddell's closest friends, and his erstwhile manager. "He wanted this and he gave it his best shot. He went out like Chuck Liddell would. He was blasting and throwing bombs and he gave the fans a last, good fight with the Iceman."
Four minutes 55 seconds of the first round was what it took for Franklin, under huge pressure against the Octagon wall, his left forearm broken, to poleaxe Liddell with a short, chopping right hand onto the chin. Liddell was out before he was supine on the canvas, his head bouncing backwards as he was hit, his legs folding under him from the knee. It was like his legs were being packaged up to be sent by FEDEX.
On the offensive, Liddell had looked good, just as he did physically. Indeed, he looked in wonderful shape. He and Franklin exchanged kicks, strikes, and one right-legged kick from Liddell broke a bone in Franklin's arm as he blocked it. The moment Liddell landed Franklin shook out his arm, feeling the looseness of the bone. Liddell nailed Franklin a few times in the opening exchanges, but it was not to be. It was the former light-heavyweight champion's first fight in 420 days. It was the 23rd fight in the UFC for Liddell, up against a man five years younger. Franklin moved to 28 wins 5 losses, the former UFC middleweight champion likely to stay at 205lbs.
"The plan was not to stand in front of him, and not get hit, and get the lead left arm going," explained former Maths teacher Franklin afterwards, his left arm cupped into his side.
Several hours after the fight, Liddell had still not made a statement that he would retire. It is unlikely. It really does look as if the fighter, once one of the most dangerous strikers on the planet, may have to call time on his career, in his 41st year.
Elsewhere on the UFC 115 card, Mirko CroCop defeated Pat Barry in an entertaining three-round match expected to be a kickboxing clinic, but in fact had a bit of everything. CroCop was down twice in the first round, the second right hand from Barry swelling the left side of the Croatian's face. There was a surreal moment in the first round when there was a great 'hug-out' in the middle of the Octagon. They call it mutual respect in other spheres. Barry was fighting his hero. In effect, CroCop used that to his advantage, having looked vulnerable early on. It is unclear whether his left leg can do what it once did to devastating effect. Instead, CroCop used a variety of kicks in the contest. As Barry tired, CroCop used his experience in the third round, throwing a barrage of south paw rakers before taking the American's back and submitting him by a choke with seconds remaining in the bout.
In the other televised contests, a great fight between Carlos Condit and Rory Macdonald with Macdonald, only 20, showing just what the new generation will be made of in roundedness, while Condit, 26, showed just how tough he is in adversity. There were long periods when the fight looked as if it would go to the younger, home fighter. Macdonald was also very, very classy after the event.
The heavyweight battle between Ben Rothwell and Gilbert Yvel swung like a see-saw for three rounds. Amazingly, Yvel fought much of it on the ground. Rothwell took the fight by dint of dominating the last round on the ground. It was exhausting to watch, too.
Martin Kampmann surprised many by totally outclassing Paulo Thiago and taking him out of his game. Kampmann dominated both in the stand up and on the ground.
UFC 115 was entertaining; but it will be remembered in history as the night the lights were lowered on the career of MMA legend Chuck Liddell.

The American Civil War and Reconstruction: People, Politics, and Power
The Rosen Publishing Group, Dec 20, 2009 - Juvenile Nonfiction - 262 pages
The American Civil War hit close to home as it pitted brother against brother, permanently severing familial bonds over differing beliefs. Years of war were followed by a period of Reconstruction, wherein the nation tried to piece itself back together in an uneasy political climate—a trying time in American history. This book focuses on the underlying causes, important battles, remembered personages, and lasting outcomes of the Civil War through detailed information and intriguing, expressive photographs.

The American Anthem has arrived!
Brandon Jarod has released the much awaited, 200th Anniversary Rendition of The Star Spangled Banner!
"The American Anthem" featuring Franklin Delano Roosevelt will blow you away, get ready to download this new release. The new songs for 2015 will be so exciting, so kick back for another fresh musical year. Download The American Anthem on GOOGLE PLAY.
Dedicated to James Arthur Rice
Following the successful reception of his debut EP "The Crush," Brandon Jarod gears up to release his new EP entitled "The Age Of Zero." Brandon recalls the 2 year recording process of The AoZ as being a difficult time in his life in which he dealt with both personal and professional losses. Exploring themes of political unrest, race relations, personal regrets and redemption the 6 song EP bleeds sincerity, conviction and creativity. Brandon enlisted engineer Brad Rosenberg to help him bring his musical vision to life. On The AoZ EP Brandon set out to use the recording studio as an extension of his guitar playing, weaving intricate, almost orchestral like rhythms and melodies together on songs such as the 7 minute opus "I Wish." Brandon calls on his R&B/Soul influences on ballads like "Red Hearts" and his Pop inflections show up on "I'll Be Good." In all The AoZ EP is collection of 2014 new songs that will stand the test of time, touching on the common threads that weave through all people regardless of race, nationality or class. Concepts such as family, love and retaining confidence in one's self through the adversity of everyday life.
Seeing the growing poverty and crime in the inner city of MIlwaukee, Brandon's father moved the family to VIrginia Beach, Virginia. When he was 18 years old his mother bought him a guitar for Christmas. A self-taught musician, Brandon practiced playing guitar sometimes 10 to 12 hours a day trying to imitate any sound that he heard with his guitar.
Over the next 4 years, Brandon would play in several local bands ranging from the Soul, R&B, Hip Hop, Rock, Gospel and Blues idioms. During this time, he would play alongside the likes of Jasmine Sullivan, Hezekiah III, Jaguar Wright, The Clipse, The Kool Kids, Eric Benet and even touring Amsterdam and along the east coast. In a relatively short amount of time Brandon Jarod became one of the most talented and in demand guitarists in the area drawing comparisons to John Mayer, Jimi Hendrix and The Black Keys.
With the help of his father, Brandon started Nicobe Records and released his debut "The Crush EP" in late 2010 to raving reviews. The EP made a big impact in the local scene, garnering him a nod for one of the top local artists and firmly establishing not only his fiery guitar style, but his soulful and introspective song writing and singing. After spending the next two years promoting the EP, Brandon Jarod gears up to release his latest project entitled "The Age Of Zero."

I've notice a very intriguing difference between organizations that are driving the marketplace and those that are just participants. The drivers spend less time trying to hang on to their trade secrets and more time looking for new ways to meet consumer needs.
Here's an example.
The Stanford d.school is arguably the world leader in design thinking education. They have incredible programs that educate undergraduate and graduate students, executives from around the world, and K-12 teachers and administrators. When asked what they thought of the plethora of other schools teaching design thinking (Rotman, Chicago Institute of Design, MIT Media Lab, list goes on…) their response was, "AWESOME! The more educators and practitioners, the faster it will grow, the more we will learn, and the more impact we will have collectively."
Now, compare that response to what you would typically hear from an organization if they heard that competitors were saturating the market for their product. If all of these schools are taking the d.school's "consumers" then the d.school looses market share. This should cause concern, right?
Well, no, not for those leading the pack. Their mental energy is focused more on future innovations rather than hanging on to what has already been introduced to the market.
That leaves me wondering how organizations can make the cultural shift away from the fear of competitors and toward the creation of new products, services and business models.

Moving to Bangkok with 2 kids...(35 Posts)
DH has been offered a job in Bangkok...we have 2 DDs (2 & 4) and I wanted to find out if anyone had recommendations on international schools/ places to live (his office is in the centre of the business area).
Feel a bit overwhelmed so any advice would be much appreciated!
Thank you
Hi everyone,
I have been reading all your conversation and advises on schools. We are moving in July to BKK with 2 daughters, 9 and 13. I was looking at the schools you have mention but for the location we are considering St Andrews International School, Sukhumvit 107. Does anyone have any good advise as a parent from there? Many thanks, Ana
As mentioned Bambi is definitely worth talking to before coming out. For a really quality school at a lower price take a look at British Early Years Centre. The owners are qualified teachers and they are really up to date with current trends. The school offers a 100% organic menu and uses allergen free cleaning products. www.beyc.co.th/fr/organic.html
Hi, we are moving to Bangkok in feb 2014 and we like the look of Thonglor - Ekkamai. We have 2 kids under 3. Can anyone recommend a great complex for us to live with other expat families? Thanks
Also, I would recommend getting hold of the Bangkok Guide, produced by the ANZ Women's group - it has tons of information, very detailed and helpful and a huge section on settling in. It has just been republished so the info is very up to date
Hi larose
We have been here 6 months and are settling in well. Our girls are happy here, but as ripsishere said, we don't often go to parks unless it's early morning...although having said that, it's quite a lot cooler here at the moment. We have a pool so the girls swim lots, and my older girl does a few after school activities - so usually by the time school has finished and we are home they just need some down time. We have decided to join the British Club as somewhere else to go at the weekend - fab pool, baby pool, playground and cafe. It's not cheap to join but we have been there a few times already with friends and spent the whole day there so it should be a good option for weekends/ school hols.
I take my youngest to a playgroup once a week and we also do swimming lessons...so there is a fair bit to do, and I have found people to be, in the main, extremely welcoming and it has been pretty easy to make friends.
Also, having help at home is a huge benefit - it means family time is spent doing fun things rather than chores
Feel free to PM me
There are parks, but TBH, unless you are there super early or relatively late in the afternoon they are too hot. OTOH, my DD never seemed fussed by the heat.
She spent more time at the Children's museum at Chatuchak than anywhere else. She also went to Bambi playgroups and started school ASAP. More for the socializing than anything else since she is an only child.
I envy you.
Btw - if any one could share what they do with their kids day today that would be great - just wondering if there are green open play areas, toddler groups, activities for kids. Is it too hot to be outside with them loads etc? I'm finding it really hard to think how life will be as only ever visited BBK prior to have kids! Thanks xx
Hi Annabellesmum!
I know u posted a while a go but I am really intrigued to know how things worked out for u and ur family in Bangkok. DH just been offered job there and we also have two little ones (18 months and 4). Just be great to hear ur experience of settling in with kids etc so far. Xx
Thanks for the information, it has really helped, I am starting to get excited now, but I may have a
Few more practical questions at a later date if you don't mind lovely ladies
Happy see you re-assured. Bangkok is a very friendly place.
Am also one who feels much safer walking the streets of Bangkok than those of many European capitals. No hordes of moody hooded teenage yobs and a funily very relaxed pace in such a busy urban environment.
cant offer advice on schools, i guess it depends a bit on where you want to live.
I stayed with a friend in December and really liked the condos in the back streets of the Sathorn area.
Ekkamai is turning into a trendy euro enclave and also feels very relaxed considering its so central.
We lived in Bangkok for four years. I felt safer there than I did in either Switzerland or Belgium.
We did have a car and it was useful to get around, although the traffic is so horrendous sometimes it seems unecessary.
If you are at BPS, the skytrain goes right out to the end of Soi Bearing which is the road that runs parallel to Soi Lasalle.
DD had all her vax and medical treatment at BNH or Samitivej.
She had her rabies vaccinations before we got there at the London hospital for tropical diseases. They were painless.
Stop panicking!
Thanks again that is reassuring, really am very grateful for your comments.
And definitely contact Bambi, very helpful at showing new expats around:
I wouldn't worry too much if you are coming as teachers, though. Teachers are the largest expat profession in Bangkok and British ones are very common. You certainly won't be a target, and unless Patana have suddenly got very generous, you won't be living a lifestyle that warrants much attention. You are likely to be comfortable and not have much to worry about financially, but nothing that will make anyone stalk you or anything! So no need to worry about that. And you will be living in a sociable community with plenty of opportunity to make helpful and gregarious friends. Good luck!
If your husband is working at Patana, you will probably be living in Bang Na or nearby. I would say a car is a must. You can rent rather than buy from Budget, which may be easier. It's expat central round there, no shortage of Brits!
Do feel free to PM, happy to show you the ropes a bit when you get here.
Thanks for your information that really helps, school would be bps where dh would be working and we d be put up in a complex / flat near by. I guess I am simply scared of the unknown.
Can I barge in here and ask if anyone knows where the UK diplomatic staff in Bangkok send their children to school? As this would be sensitive information, if anyone knows, could they send me a pm please?
Btw, there are 1000s of British expats living in Bangkok, its really not unusual. You will find it harder to make Thai friends than you will to make British ones.
Stop worrying!
Malaria is non-existent in Bangkok. Dengue is easily prevented with a once a day application (daytime) of insect repellent. Rabies, well, just teach your kids not to approach stray dogs. Same as in any country. I've never heard of anyone here getting rabies. If you do get bitten, straight to the hospital for a wound clean out and a rabies shot. Hospitals are like 5 star hotels.
Bangkok is incredibly safe. I feel much safer here than in London as far as robbery, theft, burglary goes. I have never heard of an expat home being broken into, especially if you live in a condo. I've never known anyone be mugged, a couple of handbag thefts in bars, but that's it.
Btw, it might be poor in general, but there are a lot of very rich Thais living in Bangkok, especially in areas such as Sukhumvit and Sathorn, as well as Bang Na and Nichada. Lamborghinis and Porsches are not that rare, Mercedes and BMWs are ubiquitous. The malls are full of people buying Chanel, Hermes and Prada. It's not exactly living somewhere like Darfur. Trust me, you won't be a target. Not unless you are richer than Madonna.
Just live your life with the same safety precautions that you would in the uk and you will be fine.
I hate gated complexes and the burbs, don't see the point of them and find them extremely dull and isolating, but each to their own. If you do live outside the city centre, a car is a must. Otherwise, you will have to risk taxis, and they might be cheap, but they don't have car seats (they don't in the uk either, for the most part). Bring your own car seat if you can, they are expensive here in comparison.
It's not exactly a hardship posting - many expats here have no intention of ever returning home. You just have to be open minded to different food, cultural norms, etc.
Do you have somewhere to live sorted? Schools? Happy to help with advice, feel free to PM me.
Hi my husband had accepted a job in Bangkok in 3 months time.
I am starting to worry so much I m almost ready to pull to plug.
I see you live in Bangkok, this is unusual but it's there any chance I could
Get a real understanding from yourself another British mum to help me with this. My main concern are; dengue fever, malaria and rabies any experience or feedback.
I am also worried re safety, it's obviously a poor country and we could be potential targets for theft, living in a guarded complex how real is a robbery threat and how do you feel walking about with little ones , safe?
Finally, transport, I ve read its an issue, do most expats but cars for the suburbs and getting out of Bangkok? What about travel into town , we d be near bps, do expats get in taxis without seat belts and child seats? I m worried that I would be able to get about.
My worries may sound silly in my 20,s it would nt have been a problem but with two little ones I do worry. I d really appreciate any help
Yes, and plain cotton knickers. It's fine if you want nylon lace in a size to fit a twelve year old, sensible knickers? no chance.
Same with shoes, up to a size 4ish you'd be fine, any bigger and you face having them made or buying mens.
I remember that buying bras was a nightmare so I'd bring some.
Thank you ripsishere!
Marmite, you could (can) buy it in Villa but it is ludicrously expensive. Also, if you bleed heavily super plus tampons. I never managed to find any above super.
Shoes for my DD were a problem, she has ridiculously skinny feet. Also, if you are a larger lady t.shirts. You can have skirts and dresses made at the tailor for pennies, the tops are more problematic.
Hi all! We will be moving to Bangkok in Mid May. Is there anything in particular that we should make sure to bring with us (vitamins/medicines/etc) or is everything relatively easy to find in Bangkok?
I have a three 1/2 year old son so when we go for our look see will be visiting schools/areas to live. Those of you living in Sukhumvit - do you like living in the area? I know that Sukhumvit is huge and I am worried about choosing the wrong place to live.
Currently we are living in The Philippines (Manila) so I would assume that it is similar (noise, pollution, heat, etc, etc!) but much better - esp when it comes to the food!
Any tips/feedback/advice would be greatly appreciated. I am stressing and my DH hasn't a care in the world!!!! ;)
Word of mouth is probably one of the best ways to find a helper: if you are moving into a building with lots of people in a similar position (expats/young family), ask around. A lot of maids/helpers have sisters/cousins/friends looking for work.
Another good place is on the BAMBI website - Bangkok Mothers and Babies international. There's a classifieds section with jobs.
Most families I know employ someone full-time (mon-Fri and sometimes Sat morning and/or one evening per week) to help with housework, shopping, cooking, childcare & babysitting.
My personal experience says that instinct is important: you need to be able to work / be with the person closely in the home. References are, of course, important, but I had an unlucky experience with someone with good references, then have had a very good experience with my current helper who had references but had only worked as a maid before (no childcare experience, although she has her own child). She is excellent and has worked for us for 2 years.
Many of my friends have Burmese helpers; they tend to have good English, but it is not difficult to find someone who speaks reasonable English.
Good luck with the move!

CELLS, 89'35", authors documentary, DCP, 5.1 SR, color, 2013
CELLS is a sticky documentary film about a simple man with a far from simple plan. Dutch-Belgo Martin Uit den Bogaard (67y.) is one of the world's top 10 bio-artists. Martin's quest is to get his hands on a new human body part to use in his work while he wrestles to obtain the rights to his own body for his ultimate and final piece, after his death. How can Martin fight the law? Devoid of religious intentions, everything is matter. All matter is continuously moving. But what about intangible things like our soul and our consciousness? This contemplative but humorous documentary confronts us vigorously with our own private life and mortality, the western taboo of death.

iHerb Customer Reviews
Ginkgo is one of my favorite herbs, works for me for better memory, less dizziness, and warmer hands and feet.
We've tried several brands of ginkgo --all 120mg and none of them perform as well as your brand. So, we are back! Thanks for the quality product. And extra thanks for putting it into the tiniest capsule I've ever seen!!

The Sunshine State, as it is sometimes known, is America's most popular holiday destination thanks to its superb weather and the man-made attractions that have turned some areas into giant playgrounds for the young at heart. In addition the Florida coastline is blessed with mile upon mile of fantastic beaches that attract sun-seekers from all over the United States and beyond.
The subtropical climate ensures that temperatures are mild almost all year round with the summer months sometimes hitting the 90's and beyond. Florida holidays in Orlando give you the huge Disney World theme park, which provides thrills and rides for children and big kids alike.
The general theme of Florida holidays is that much of your time will be spent outdoors. If you enjoy stretching out on the beach then head for the Florida Keys. For a more energetic Florida holiday there is a huge range of exciting and interesting attractions all over the state of Florida. The Kennedy Space Centre on Florida's east coast offers visitors the opportunity to examine the history of space flight and find out what the future holds for mankind's exploration of space.
The Everglades National Park injects a bit of great outdoors into your Florida holiday, with the prospect of seeing some of the indigenous wildlife of Florida. From alligators to pelicans, the wildlife is diverse and there's also the chance to take an airboat ride across the marshlands. A big attraction of Florida holidays, the theme parks such as Disney World are perfect to entertain the kids for days, and there is more than enough for adults to do as well.
There are 2 international airports, Orlando International Airport and Sanford Airport. Both are approximately 20 mins drive. I would recommend car hire. You can hire the car to be picked up from the airport on your arrival. Most travel companies offer you car hire along with your flight. You also have the added bonus off returning the car back to the airport on your departure. If you choose not to have a car, there are many shuttle buses which will take you straight into Disney.
Disney World itself is only a short drive, 10 minutes. The Club Cortile Complex is right next to the US 192 and this road takes straight in to Disney. Old Town Disney is on the US 192 which is a few minutes drive. You can walk to Old Town if you wish. Universal Studios & International Drive are about 20 minute drive. Florida Shopping Mall also is about 20 minutes drive and the Prime Shopping outlet is about the same distance.
Further details
On the US 192 there are many restaurants: steak houses, seafood, fast food and chinese. If you are a seafood lover we highly recommend Joe's Crab Shack. There are plenty of breakfast buffet restaurants (all you can eat for around $2.99).
2 mins away is the famous Walmart supermarket (which in the UK is part of Asda but much cheaper!). They sell everthing and are open 24 hours! On the corner of our road which is called Seven Dwarf Lane there is a waffle house which is open from early morning to late at night.
In Disney World there is an area called Downtown Disney, where you can shop, eat, drink, catch a film in the huge cinema or go on to Pleasure Island and dance the night away as there are many clubs and pubs but this area is strictly of over 21's. You can walk through it during the day with children but the venues are not open until the evening.
There a few beaches which are around 1 to 2 hour's drive. Daytona Beach, Coco Beach and Tampa Bay to name but a few.
There are many nearby golf courses for you to choose from. All within a short distance.

What do you think about this product?
Have questions about this product?
I was dry-ish
Jacket definitely kept the rain out, and was a great wind barrier. Fit nice and snug so I didn't look like Hanz or Franz while bombing downhills. back end was longer to cover the back end so my rear stayed nice and dry (it covered my entire hip pack that I was wearing, too- so all my gear stayed dry). Downside- breathability. While it kept the rain out, it also kept all of the body moisture in. Only thing it could have used were some under arm vent zips. Sizing chart was a little off, and had to send in for a size smaller.
Be careful about sizing chart
I bought this jacket and followed the sizing chart. My tape measure shows 42 inches as chest measure and, based on the chart, I ordered XXL. I had decided to trust this chart to avoid paying to return wrong sizes. When I got it, though, it was ridiculously big.
After talking to RealCyclist rep, he said that the sizing chart is "only a reference" and I told him that this was not my fault, as this is the only reference a customer can trust to pick the right size. So, I would tell you to be very careful before buying, as the sizing chart is not accurate (at least not for this jacket). And, if the size does not fit you, you will be the sole responsible.
You do know that Realcyclist customer service is pretty awesome, and you can return it?
Great Jacket
This is a great jacket, very light in weight, the fit is perfect, waterproof and wind proof, breaths way better than other brand of water proof jackets. Can`t go wrong with this item. For colder weather use a warm layer and mid layer since fabric gets cold but still wind proof.

Dependable, lightweight
I've had the jacket a few months now and have worn it biking through Seattle's rainy winter. Does the job. Good for those 38-45 degree days with a long sleeve underneath. I'm really happy with how small it packs down and can store in a jersey pocket. Only ding would be the sleeves. They tailor very tight on my wrists which make it difficult to get on and off.
Top layer for cold weather riding.
I am very happy with this jacket for the purpose I got it: top layer for riding in cold and windy weather (20F-40F) with or without light precipitation (used it in light rain and snow). In combination with proper under-layers it beat my expectations for breathability while providing excellent protection from the wind. Exceeded expectations, particularly with very small packing "footprint". (Worst conditions I used it in: low 20's F with 20+mph winds and light snow with 4 breathable but not wind or precipitation resistant layers of biking specific clothing underneath).
great biking rain jacket!
great jacket! breathable though not quite as good as the newer eVent material. great in cooler weather over a mid-weight layer, not as good in below 30 degree weather. well made, great warranty.

Two women were returning from a snowboarding trip Jan. 31 when a patch of ice near Kyburz left the passenger injured and the driver with a broken neck.
Eighteen-year-olds Mattie Alleva and Ashley Voll, both of Folsom, were returning on Highway 50 from a day of snowboarding when it started to snow, said Alleva, the driver of the car. She lost control of the car on an icy patch and swerved into oncoming traffic, hitting another car before rolling down an embankment. A tree stopped the car.
"My seatbelt broke off," Alleva said, but both she and Voll were trapped in the car.
Meanwhile, District Attorney Investigators Dave Stevenson and his partner Jim Applegate were returning from a joint arson investigation with Cal Fire investigator Tom Oldag in the South Lake Tahoe Basin, a press release from Stevenson stated. Stevenson and Applegate were followed by Oldag as they traveled westbound on Highway 50. Stevenson noted that as they "approached Strawberry, the snowy conditions turned from bad to worse, with near whiteout conditions."
About four miles west of Strawberry, they happened upon the Alleva's SUV over the side of the embankment and two victims from the other car lying in the roadway in critical condition. They had been two cars behind Alleva's, she said. Stevenson, Applegate and Oldag "immediately recognized the incident as potentially fatal with the crash scene unsafe," Stevenson noted.
While Oldag initiated the Incident Command System and took control of the scene on the highway, Stevenson made his way 25 yards down the embankment. "Both girls had obvious head and neck injuries from the roll over and were in extreme pain," he said, which Alleva confirmed.
"Stevenson removed the windshield to gain access to the victims to access their injuries," the press release stated. "Once inside the vehicle Stevenson stabilized the driver who had moderate head injuries, then turned his attention to the passenger who was upside down and complaining of severe head and neck pain. Stevenson was able to immobilize the victim with his jacket while awaiting fire personnel." Stevenson said he "had that gut feeling something was really wrong with her neck and my training taught me not to move her unless we had to."
"He sat with me, held my neck for 30 minutes," Alleva said.
Meanwhile, Applegate was maintaining advanced life-saving first-aid on the two other victims, who had been ejected from their car. He realized Lifeflight would be needed due to the road conditions. "We were in the middle of nowhere with whiteout snow conditions, fire personnel responding from as far away as Pollock Pines and South Lake Tahoe and minimal first-aid equipment. Time was not on our side and I knew we were in for the long haul," Applegate said.
Back at the SUV, Alleva and Voll were panicking. "The girls began to panic as they smelled gasoline leaking, the SUV rocking and the length of time they had been trapped inside the vehicle," Stevenson said. "I knew we needed a contingency plan in the event we needed to emergency extricate the girls."
Oldag arrived at the SUV with a C-Spine collar to immobilize Alleva's neck. "That is when she told me she couldn't breathe and was going unconscious," Stevenson recalled. "I knew we had to get that collar on her and get her out." He put the collar on her while Oldag stood by to help get Alleva out of the wreck.
It took between 25 and 30 minutes for an ambulance to arrive. "He still sat with me, calmed me down," Alleva said. It was a half-hour before a pulley-rig with a backboard could be lowered down, as it was too steep to walk a stretcher down.
Alleva was transported to Marshall Medical Center where it was found that her neck was broken. She was transferred to UC Davis Medical Center, where she found out her C1 and C2 vertebrae, in her neck, were both broken. She said the doctors were amazed; usually with those vertebrae broken, the patient is paralyzed.
"If it wasn't for Dave, I would have been moved and probably paralyzed," Alleva said. "I feel like he's my guardian angel. If he hadn't stopped, I would have freaked out and moved. He calmed me down."
Besides Stevenson, she wanted to thank the UCD staff and her mother, Christy, her boyfriend Talon Gorman and Talon's father, Jeff. She noted that they stayed with her for two days straight while she was in the hospital, with the Gorman family bringing her stuffed animals and being there when her mother could not. Her stepfather Jeff and stepsiblings Austin, Justin and Jenny also visited, making the five days stuck in a hospital bed more bearable, while her brother and sister, Jordan and Courtney, called to check on her. "They made me feel like I was at home again, like nothing happened."
She said she will have to wear a medical halo for three months, but will not need surgery.
"Those girls, after what they went through, were amazing," Stevenson said. "Their emotional and physical strength shows you how tough they really are — true fighters."

The Ballad of Gay Tony Theme song
Just to let you know, on The Ballad of Gay Tony page, like all of the game pages that has the theme song player thing above it, that is NOT TBoGT theme song. That is a song that was heard on the game's radio station. The same goes with people thinking the song that played in the first trailer for GTA V, stupid people think that's the theme song. Just because a song was heard on a game trailer doesn't means its the "official" theme song. Please replace that with "Keep on Walkin". RealgrandpaJoeWCG (talk) 02:09, July 13, 2013 (UTC)
