The face of the homeless in Amarillo is the face of a fifth-grade child.
Save the Date
Who: Amarillo Coalition for the Homeless
What: Beans & Cornbread Luncheon
When: 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. Monday
Where: Amarillo Civic Center Heritage Room
Why: Annual fundraiser to benefit the homeless through the Interfaith Campaign for the Homeless
Tickets: $12 in advance; $15 at the door
Information: (806) 378-6276
"The average age of the homeless is 11 years old," said Art Crosser, president of the Amarillo Coalition for the Homeless, a group of people and agencies working to lessen the impact of homelessness.
"We're a consortium of as many as 40 agencies, individuals and churches that participate in a monthly meeting with speakers on homeless topics and exchange information and network to facilitate services to the clients," Crosser said.
The coalition tries to keep track of the number of homeless people in Amarillo through an annual count during the last week in January, said Melodi Jones from the city of Amarillo Community Development department and treasurer of the coalition.
The Department of Housing and Urban Development defines a homeless person as one who didn't sleep the night before in a fixed house or in someplace fit for human habitation, Jones said.
The latest homeless count tallied about 550 people living in shelters or on the street, she said.
"A lot of them are women and children," Crosser said.
That number is plugged into a government formula to determine a truer number for the homeless situation in Amarillo, Jones said, taking into account the estimated number of people who don't come in to be counted - those who want to be left alone.
"The formula says we can have 1,169 homeless on any given night," she said.
The Amarillo Coalition for the Homeless tries to serve these people by raising money through its Beans & Cornbread Luncheon - 11:30 a.m. Monday in the Civic Center Heritage Room - which is also the kickoff for the Interfaith Hunger Campaign.
"The Harrington Foundation matches up to $90,000 raised though the coalition," Jones said. "Last year we netted about $38,000."
That money goes farther in Amarillo because of the cooperation of the agencies involved in the coalition, said Todd Steelman, Community Development administrator for the city of Amarillo and chairman of the Beans & Cornbread Luncheon committee.
"No one agency can save everyone," said Donna Soria, coalition vice president.
The coalition works so a homeless client can explain his situation once, to one person, and that information is sent to the agencies who can help. A single client may have 10 caseworkers from different agencies. But the help isn't a handout, Jones said.
"I think what repels people is the stereotype of the homeless man at I-40 and Washington with a sign," she said. "That's not who we serve."
"You don't see them as people when you fear them," she said. "You have to remember they are homeless PEOPLE."
Homelessness can happen to anyone, Soria said.
Divorce, job loss, illness - the unexpected crises of life all contribute to homelessness.
"It's not about education, it's not about upbringing," she said. "Them not having a home isn't their only condition. Through choices or circumstances, they end up in this crisis."
When Amarillo residents have to face that crisis, the Coalition for the Homeless stands ready to help.
Be a Part of This Section: Groups and organizations throughout the area have a lot of activities of interest to readers of Our Town. We're asking for your help in getting the word out. If you're out in the community or having a fundraiser, we'd like to know. We're looking for information and photos - with everyone identified. Send it before noon Thursdays to firstname.lastname@example.com or call (806) 345-3350 for more information.

It happens every year. Somebody or some band just cannot make their Coachella appearances and has to drop out. From high profile (Amy Winehouse, Lou Reed) to not-so-huge (La Roux, Cat Power), to those that should have dropped out (Sly and the Family Stone, anyone?), every year we have another victim.
This year, it is the Liam Gallagher project known as Beady Eye. Just a day after splitting with their manager, the band posts this on their FB page:
For reasons beyond our control, Beady Eye are no longer playing Coachella. I wanna apologise to people who bought tickets on the back of us being announced. LG x
Who bought Coachella tickets based on them being announced? Is he aware that this festival would sell out regardless of lineup? So many questions...
Either way, adjust your schedule accordingly!

The UCLA Women's Water Polo team returns to action this weekend in the March 27-28 Rainbow Classic in Hawaii. The Bruins first game will be against Canada on Saturday at 9:45 AM. After competing in the Rainbow Classic UCLA will face Hawaii on March 30 at 8:00 PM in an MPSF game. The Bruins lost to No. 1 USC on March 11, but picked up a pair of victories at UC San Diego on Saturday, March 13. It was the Bruins second meeting this season with USC and after falling behind 4-1 in the first period UCLA could not recover, losing 9-4. However, UCLA would rebound with a 11-2 win over UC San Diego and a 9-8 victory over Princeton in La Jolla, California.
SCHEDULE CHANGES: UCLA's Alumni Game has been changed to April 3rd and will take place after the Bruins face Arizona State at Sunset Canyon Recreation Center. The Bruins April 24th game against the U.S. National Team will be played in Los Alamitos at the National Team's training site, not at Sunset Canyon Recreation Center. UCLA's game at Hawaii on March 30 will be at 8:00 PM pacific standard time.
WEEKLY RECAP: USC, MARCH 11, 2004: LOS ANGELES, Calif. - The UCLA Women's Water Polo team lost to No. 1 USC today 9-4 in a Mountain Pacific Sports Federation match. The Bruins fell behind 4-1 in the first period and after cutting the lead to 5-2 at halftime were poised to make a run in the second half. But, USC would answer back in the third and fourth periods outscoring UCLA 4-2. Katherine Belden led the Bruins with 2 goals and Kacy Kunkel and Molly Cahill scored once.
WEEKLY RECAP: UC SAN DIEGO, MARCH 13, 2004: LA JOLLA, Calif. - The UCLA Women's Water Polo team defeated No. 13 UC San Diego by opening up a 5-0 lead in the first half and never looking back, holding UCSD to two goals in the final two periods while scoring six. Kristina Kunkel and Brittney Bowlus led the Bruins with three goals each, Katherine Belden scored twice and Kelley Koepp, Jenna Murphy and Kacy Kunkel scored once.
WEEKLY RECAP: PRINCETON, MARCH 13, 2004: LA JOLLA, Calif. - The UCLA Women's Water Polo team held off a fourth period Princeton rally to defeat the Tigers 9-8. After jumping out to a 5-2 lead after one half and then extending the lead to 9-5 after the third period it appeared the Bruins had the game in hand. However, Princeton would score three unanswered goals in the fourth period to pull within one with 32 seconds left. The Bruins were then able to hold onto the lead and earn the 9-8 victory. Kristina Kunkel had her second hat trick of the day and Katherine Belden and Molly Cahill scored twice. Jenna Murphy and Brittney Bowlus each added one goal to round out the Bruin scoring effort.
UP NEXT: RAINBOW CLASSIC, MARCH 27-28 AND @ HAWAII, MARCH 30: The Bruins will take a break from action for final exams and will travel to Hawaii for the Rainbow Classic on March 27-28 and an MPSF game against Hawaii on March 30.
BRUIN QUICK FACTS: UCLA has scored 117 goals this year while allowing 69. In ten games freshman goalkeeper Emily Feher has 83 saves and a goals against average of 5.38. In four games her counterpart sophomore Tahlia Kerr has 29 saves and a goals against average of 3.75. After recording two hat tricks on Saturday against UC San Diego and Princeton, sophomore Kristina Kunkel leads the Bruins with 25 goals scored. Sophomore Katherine Belden is second with 20 goals followed by freshman Molly Cahill's 18. UCLA is 1-0 in overtime games this season. Their lone overtime game was a 6-5 victory over California.

Cheryl Cole & Tre Holloway Hang Out With Geordie Shore Girls
Cheryl Cole has made some new friends in Geordie Shore's Charlotte-Letitia and Sophie. The reality TV stars were invited backstage by Cheryl on her A Million Lights tour, where they got to hang out with the Girls Aloud star and her boyfriend Tre Holloway.
Could we be any more jealous right now? Sophie Kasaei and Charlotte-Letitia Crosby were so keen to meet their idol that they began a Twitter campaign encouraging followers to help them get backstage.
Sophie tweeted: "Right I want all of our amazing fans to tweet @CherylCole for me and @CharlotteGShore and tell her we want to meet her 2nite."
Charlotte-Letitia added: "Every tweet @cherylcole for me And @SophieGShore we would love to meet her tonight please guys thanku so much if we all tweet shel mite c it." (sic)
Funnily enough, it was her Girls Aloud bandmate Nicola Roberts who made their dream come true, tweeting: "@CharlotteGShore @sophiegshore Girls I've told her, sorted it for you!! She's excited!!"
And the result was this gem. Amazing. Though you could look a little bit more excited, Tre! RM

A 13-year-old boy has broken the world record for the longest slam dunk.
Jordan Ramos, from Sheffield, managed to break the Guinness world record by bouncing from a trampoline, flying seven metres through the air and slam dunking a ball into a basketball net that stood 10ft high.
The previous title-holder is a Japanese sportsman who is twice Jordan's age who managed a slam dunk from 6.30 metres.
Although Jordan spends a lot of time training, he still works hard at school, according to his mum, who told Sky News: "I am so proud of Jordan - he's a grounded kid and keeps on top of his homework as well as all his training."
In fact, Jordan's whole family eats healthily and is extremely sporty. Dad Marcelo is a stuntman, his mum Anita is an acrobat and his six-year-old brother Samuel is being touted as a future Olympian.
Jordan is also an Elite tumbling gymnast who represents Great Britain and trains at the prestigious Wakefield Gymnastic Club.
Jordan's amazing world record was featuring on "Guinness World Records Smashed" on Sky 1 on Sunday.
Sky originally approached Jordan's father to take up the challenge but once Jordan caught wind of the competition he begged his dad to let him have a go until Marcelo yielded.
Jordan told Sky News:
Jordan's dad said after the show: "What can I say, my kid is a phenomenon and after all I did teach him everything he knows!"

You know how index is pretty much the best crag in the country?
This route is as good as any I have done there (And I have done A LOT of them).
Seriously. Get on it. Rad, interesting sequences, great exposure, super-safe and bone-dry in the rain (except for one hold and that just makes the move more interesting!).
Anyway, this route is one of the best at Index, which would make it one of the best in the country. Do yourself a favor if you like climbing rocks and make this the next thing you get on. Can't wait to do it again!

I am pretty sure that a 60m will get you down, but DO tie a knot in the end of the rope.
This route is classic! If it were at the lower wall it would be as popular as anything else.

Brad -- Great to hear the high ratings for the route.
So, there's a good chance I'll up the stars once I do the route. Am looking forward to that. But first, I'll have to get up my first Index 12. (Chris Henson says this one is not the easiest one at Index, not that I'm necessarily looking for the easiest, but I couldn't even get up Engines of Archimedes...)

|Pretty awesome climbing, but quite hard and cryptic at the roof. It took a really long time to get the rope up. The rock is still a little flaky at the bottom, but should clean up with time. If the route was a little cleaner and more continuous, I would give it four stars.

Last night, Adrian Wyllie, Libertarian Party of Florida gubernatorial candidate, slammed Florida Governor Rick Scott for his State of the State speech he gave at the opening of Florida's legislative session yesterday. Wyllie's complete statement can be seen below and he is one of the three leading candidates in the bid to be Florida's next governor, next to Rick Scott and Charlie Crist.
Wyllie points out that while Scott was touting his numbers of increased jobs, he conveniently leaves out the 440,000 Floridians who have given up looking for work or who have left the state to find employment elsewhere. Wyllie also goes on the attack for Scott's proposed $74.2 billion budget when before Scott was elected said anything above $70 billion was "bloated".
Wyllie goes on to describe Scott's reductions of fees for Floridians as "paltry" compared to the increased spending by the governor. Wyllie is interested in dramatic reductions for Floridians so they are able to keep more of what they earn rather than handing a large portion of their money over to the government.
Wyllie also is interested in ending corporate welfare, which Scott continues to promote as a way to attract businesses to Florida from other states and as a vehicle to keep established businesses from fleeing. Corporations are quick to put their hand out to grab whatever tax breaks and actual cash payments Scott is dishing out. Wyllie's way of attracting business would be to make the state more attractive to business by reducing the taxes in the state while reducing much of the 'red tape' many businesses experience in starting and operating a business in Florida. Wyllie, as most Libertarians, feel that corporate welfare is no more than crony capitalism, which puts other businesses at a disadvantage.
Adrian Wyllie's full statement on Rick Scott's State of the State speech:
In his State of the State address today, Republican Gov. Rick Scott tried to convince Floridians to "keep working" and that "it's your money." Unfortunately, the truth is that fewer Floridians are working, and we're keeping less of our own money.
The number of working Floridians has decreased dramatically on Gov. Scott's watch, and his economic policies have directly resulted in thousands of lost jobs in Florida. Florida's labor participation rate has fallen from the 25-year average of 62.4 percent, down to 59.6 percent, according to the Florida Legislature Office of Economic and Demographic Research.
It's easy to tout positive unemployment numbers when you stop counting the nearly 442,000 Floridians who have given up hope of finding work.
Scott also proudly claimed to have cut the budget during his tenure. That is absolutely false.
Gov. Scott has increased the state budget by over $8 billion during his term. In 2011, Florida spent a total of $65.5 billion. Under Rick Scott, the state budget has ballooned to $74.2 billion. That's more than the entire defense budgets of Canada, Australia, and Israel … combined. Attempting to spend our way to prosperity has gotten us into this mess, and Rick Scott should know better.
Any "cuts" that Scott refers to are simply minor reductions to the massive spending increases that he has proposed and signed. Gov. Scott has apparently taken a page from the Obama playbook, by spinning a decrease to the increase as a "cut."
The truth is that Scott's massive spending increases mean the state government now has much more of your money. Perhaps it's appropriate that he gave this address to the state Legislature. He must have been talking to government officials – not you – when he said, "it's your money."
Scott proposed a paltry reduction to the auto registration fee, which would save Florida taxpayers $25 per year per vehicle. If it's not even enough to fill your gas tank, is it even worth getting excited about?
The people of Florida need real tax cuts, not just talking points. That's why I'm proposing a 100 percent tax exemption on all homestead properties, saving the average Florida homeowner $1,500 per year, and making a real difference for struggling Florida families.
Gov. Scott also took a great deal of pride in touting his record in job creation. But, once again, there's a problem. The vast majority of these jobs exist only as projections on paper, not as real paychecks for Florida families. Of the 460,000 jobs Scott claims to have created since 2010, only 5 percent of them have actually materialized into actual jobs.
In one instance a "promise" of over 400 jobs with Redpine Healthcare Technologies has vanished as the financing dissipated and the owners are now in bankruptcy court.
In another instance, a sawmill with the "promise" of 127 new jobs has stalled due to red tape and government bureaucracy. In fact the majority of the projects and "promised" jobs attached to tax incentives have been stalled in large part to other government regulations and lack of financing, yet the jobs are still being misleadingly presented as being created by the governor.
As I travel the state speaking with small-business owners, I always ask, "What can government do to help you create jobs and economic growth?" Almost universally, they tell me that taxes and regulations are killing business, and preventing them from hiring new employees. I often hear statements like, "Get government out of our way, and we'll do the rest."
I have listened, and I am prepared to act.
That's why I have proposed the Florida Intrastate Commerce Act. The Florida ICA will insulate manufacturers, distributors, retailers, and service providers from burdensome federal regulations, and create an environment for real job creation and lasting prosperity. It will release small and medium businesses from the shackles of overregulation, and allow them to expand and hire new workers. It will attract high-tech manufacturers to Florida, and open up new markets for skilled employees. And, it will do all this without having to spend a penny of "your money."
Amid all the half-truths and half-measures of Scott's speech, he found time to place blame on his predecessor, former Republican Gov. Charlie Crist.
At least that's one issue upon which Gov. Scott and I can partially agree. Florida has witnessed more government and less liberty under the last two Republican governors.
Charlie Crist was a big-spending, job-killing governor.
And despite all his rhetoric and spin, Rick Scott has just been more of the same."

Picture the scene. It's 8.30am on Saturday 2 June 2012. Bikes and their respective owners are starting to accumulate. Exclaims of, "BLASTED puncture" and, "pass the Halfords Cycle Oil" fill the air.
It's the sounds of Lanfranco's fantastic friends, all saddled up and pointing in the general direction of Denmark. The story of how today's vast cycling adventure came to be is penned (below) by Lan's friend, Luis Camacho:
They've Already Raised £3, 240 (ever-growing) for CALM
Cycle To Denmark, For Lan – By Luis Camacho
"As many of you will know on Friday 10th February 2012 one of my closest friends Lanfranco Gaglione passed away. The last time I spoke to Lan, we sat for hours planning a charity cycle ride to Denmark that we were due to embark on together this year.
After everything that has happened myself and the others (Costas Athinodorou, Michael Jardin, Neal Shah, Obi Khan, Robert Hall, Busgy & Paul Soppit) that Lan mapped the route for, decided that rather than let all his effort go to waste, we would take up the challenge that he left for us and complete all 550 miles in the timescale he had set.
In true Lan fashion he had helped me consider every aspect of the cycle, to the very last detail (as you can see from the MAP)
The whole journey will take us 6 days, however we have decided that the more people that we can get involved the better. So we invited everyone to cycle the first part of "Lans Plan" from Tottenham to Harwich. It would be great to see lots of Lans friends and family out doing something he loved and supporting a great cause (CALM) in the process."
Luis (& the Biking Barons)

Get Along united many onlookers at The Black Sheep, on Feb. 18. They were the opening act, Xenia Rubino was the direct support and Man Man was the headliner.
Cara Summer is the pianist, guitarist and lead vocalist and Nicholas James is the drummer, plays the synthesizer and provides the shouts for Get Along.
Summer sang two sets of vocals and displayed her range, to begin Get Along's recital with "I Sing the Body Electric". James struck his drums and accompanied her, as she played her keyboard and provided lyrics. James brought the song to an end, as he struck his cymbals alternately. Afterwards, he introduced the name of the band.
Prior to the start of "I'm Not Alone", Summer thanked the crowd and the venue. She spoke of how the next song would be sad because the local music community lost a friend, Michael. She stated a few of his comrades had gotten together and wrote the song. Before Get Along began—she turned off her amplifier, placed her guitar on the ground and dedicated the song to her late friend.
Before "Oh, Wicked One", James stated it was a "regular jungle party". After making the statement— Summer applied face paint and requested some of the spectators to come forth, if they would like some too. Those nearby walked towards her and she drew on their faces. She grabbed ahold of her tambourine, played it and sang near the edge of the stage. As she sang a cappella—James walked over, applied face paint, returned to his drum set and proceeded to play the drums.
"JuJu Street Revival" was the last song of Get Along's concert. Before they began, James stated his "war paint was dripping into his eyes" and said he hoped to be able to finish their performance. Shortly after, Summer said they were from Colorado Springs, Colo. and how she resided 12 minutes away from the venue. She thanked the crowd for supporting local music, encouraged everyone to pick up one of their free download cards and to give them a "Like" on Facebook.
During "JuJu Street Revival", James led the crowd in a series of rhythmic applause. Then, Summer and James jumped in place and continued to perform. After bringing the song to an end, they thanked the crowd one last time.
"So You Think You've Got Compassion" was also part of Get Along's set.

A: No, departments are not required to track an ASE's hours worked.
A: Think carefully about work that is assigned versus work accomplished via the student's initiative for academic benefit. To ensure that work receives proper academic recognition the student should enroll for the proper number of thesis credit hours.
We realize that differentiating "work effort" from "academic effort" can be difficult where an advanced student is working as an RA in the same lab where the student's own research is being conducted. Work assigned by a supervisor or other person in charge of the ASE's appointment counts towards the 220 hours worked each quarter.
A: ASEs are appointed for 260 hours (6 pay periods). Holidays during that time reduce the work hours by roughly 12 hours, depending on the 3 month period in question. That reduces the number of available hours to 248. Twenty of the hours (5 days) are vacation days, leaving 8 hours of unaccounted time. That unaccounted time is generally intended to be professional development time for the ASE, or may be taken up by leaves due to illness, bereavement, etc. (roughly up to 9 hours per quarter on average). This does not grant the ASE time away from academic requirements, although one would expect him/her to be released from academic requirements during the quarter breaks.
A: As long as the ASE has not exceeded working 220 hours that quarter, ASEs are expected to complete their ASE obligations even when it extends beyond the final day of the academic quarter. (See Article 32, Workload - Section 7)
A: Departments can prorate the additional month based on 220 hours, arriving at an additional 73.34 hours (220/3=73.34 what one month is worth in terms of hours).
A: Yes. It is the ASE's responsibility to manage his or her workload and inform the supervisor if he or she anticipates working more than 220 hours in a quarter. ASEs have the option to work more hours if they choose. Workload should be considered separately from the amount of effort required to make satisfactory academic progress. ASE workload limits do not restrict the amount of academic effort that may be required to make progress toward the ASE's degree. Workload- Article 32, Section 8
A: An ASE should notify his or her supervisor as soon as he/she anticipates any issues that would result in working more than 220 hours in a quarter. At that point, the department has the option to offer the ASE additional paid hours for the workload in excess of 220 hours, or relieve the ASE of the excess workload. Workload- Article 32, Section 8
A: Yes, if the ASE's supervisor requires attendance at the conference as part of the ASE's work-related duties. If attendance at the conference is optional, or is for the benefit of the ASE's academic progress, it does not count towards the 220-hour workload.
A: Pay periods are determined by the State of Washington, and they don't match the academic calendar. Workload requirements in the contract are independent of pay periods. An ASE's workload, leave and vacation entitlements and obligations are based on the academic quarter and not pay periods. This means that an ASE's work obligations may extend past the last pay period in the quarter.

DALLAS (SMU) - The SMU women's rowing team will race against conference-rival Tulsa for the Lawless Cup Saturday morning on White Rock Lake at 9 a.m. For the Mustangs, it will be the second home event of the season, but the Mustangs will be in head-to-head competition with the Golden Hurricane for the first time this year.
"I am looking forward to racing Tulsa this weekend," head coach Doug Wright stated. "We have had a great rivalry over the years. This marks the 2nd year of the Lawless Cup race between the two schools, which will become part of the regular schedule."
The Mustangs won on their home water against Creighton in the first race of the spring, and beat Kansas State to the finish line at the San Diego Crew Classic in the most recent regatta after the Wildcats edged out SMU earlier in the season.
"Our first boat did a great job closing the gap on K-state last weekend at the crew classic by beating them by just over 2 seconds. We finished well behind them at the Long Horn invite a few weeks ago so I feel that our speed is making great progress. All of our crews have really done a nice job of focusing the last couple weeks," Wright explained.
"If our goal of increasing our speed week to week goes as planned, we can close the gap on Tulsa as well. They have gotten the better of us the last few years, so they are going to be ready to race hard and fast. There is no doubt, we are going to need to bring our absolute best on Saturday, but we're up to that."
Last season, the SMU 2nd Varsity 8+ was just seven seconds off the pace of the Tulsa crew, and the 1st Varsity 8+ recorded its fastest time of the season in Catoosa, Okla. Wright is hoping experience the SMU crews have gained against some of the nation's top teams will be enough to bring the Lawless Cup to Dallas.
"We had a tough challenge last weekend going up against a few Pac 10 giants. I tell them if they can stand eye-to-eye with those crews in the top 10 across the country, there is no reason that we can't be as fast through training and racing," the veteran coach continued. "We have made some line-up changes due to injury with that crew, but we're working that out and looking forward to the head-to-head with Tulsa's 2V8+ this weekend."
The SMU Student-Athlete Advisory Committee is hosting a Pack the House at Saturday's race. A breakfast buffet will be provided for all SMU student-athletes in attendance, and can be purchased for 15 dollars by any other fans who wish to eat.

Minutewomen Fall to Northwestern 13-5 In Five Innings
March 20, 2012
CLEARWATER, Fla. - The UMass softball team lost to Northwestern 13-5 in five innings on Tuesday, and fell to a 11-10 record on the season. Maggie Quealy hit her first career homerun in the loss, earning two RBIs.
Northwestern got on the board first in the bottom of the first when a double to left field sent in the runner on second, who was walked and then advanced to second on a wild pitch. UMass fired back in the top of the seventh and evened the score at 1-1. Lindsey Webster and Kyllie Magill both got on base off of an error, and then a sacrifice fly out to right field from Sara Plourde got Webster home.
In the bottom of the third, Northwestern put two more on the board, first off a homerun by the leadoff batter to give then a 2-1 lead. Plourde then loaded the bases on three walks, and a run was scored when an error by Quianna Diaz-Patterson at shortstop allowed her to get home.
UMass fought back to take the 4-3 lead in the top of the fourth. Magill started the inning off with a double, and then a double by Plourde sent her in. Quealy was up next for the Minutewomen and she hit a ball over the center field wall, sending in Mikayla Panko, who pinch ran for Plourde.
The bottom of the fourth brought eight runs for the Wildcats, four of which came from a grand slam by freshman rightfielder Olivia Duher. The first run was scored off a fielder's choice, which got an out at third but allowed a run to score. Plourde walked two more runners after the grand slam and then Bridget Lemire took over for her on the mound to finish out the game. A single up the middle from her first batter got another run to score and then a single to center field sent in two more for Northwestern.
UMass scored one run in the top of the fifth off of three singles in a row from Magill, Webster, and Lemire, credit the RBI to Lemire. A walk-off homerun from Duher scored two runs that run-ruled the Minutewomen.
UMass plays again on Sunday in a double header against conference-foe Saint Louis at noon and 2 p.m.

TC TO JOHN A. CARLYLE ; 11 June 1859; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18590611-TC-JAC-01; CL 35: 110-111
Chelsea, 11 june, 1859—
My dear Brother,
Many thanks for your prompt attention, and for the lucid account you have managed to send.1 This is a real help to me at present; and, in the dismal, importunate and thrice-hateful chaos from without (beside all the chaos from within) whh this busss of flitting has caused me, I had need enough of help!—To Jane it rather emphatically appears, and to me too in a less emphatic manner, that probably the Paterson Establisht in the village of Aberdour2 will be the eligible thing. Most clearly a better lodging (the other indeed questionably dingy and stuffy in this respect): the only things that give me pause, are 1o grass for my horse (I want him to go at unlimited grass, for health's sake, with 2 feeds of corn daily), and 2o the "unlimited command" (or quasi-unlimited, one's fancy thinks) of Farm-sustenance, milk, eggs, chickens! Probably yr Inkeeper3 (if respectable and his wife respectable) will be able to furnish us completely in both these respects;—and if so, I am as emphatic as Jane.
So or not so, I cannot stand this wild jumble of dubieties any more; but will and do instruct you to end it for us, by closing with the Paterson offer. on Wedy next4 (whether you go over in person again or not, whether you hear again from me or not), pray signify to Mrs Paterson that we take her apartts: first of july (or it may be last days of june) to Augt for certain; we "intend" (you can say) to stay 3 months, perhaps more if it suited; but do not, witht experimenting, make further engaget: if, while our term runs, any ulterior lodger applies, we shall feel bound to give Mrs Pn a definite Yes or No on her then asking us. That, I think, is the reasonable footing; and on that let the whirlblast steady itself, and collapse, in Heaven's name.
Wedy come a week (if the wind is to west, at least!) I think of starting, Horse & Charlotte and luggage with me, in the Edinr Steamer,5—Wedny 26th6 10 a. m., whh I think brings one to Leith7 Friday forenoon:—there I shd see you most hoffentlich [hopefully]! Friday Evg we could manage to reach with Hab' und Gut' [belongings] the Paterson hospice: Charlotte, who is a nimble orderly clever little creature, wd break bulk upon8 the "linen & plate," clothe a tea-table a bed or even two;—and so we shd be installed! Jane wd leave, Thursday 27th,9 by Express Train; sleep at Morpeth,10 perhaps at Haddington11 (or two nights with her Aunts in Edinburgh);12—and there the achievement were!—
On those terms therefore, dear Brother!—— Yours ever T. Carlyle
We have furious thunder-plumps (grand long deluge yesterday with big hail in it; on the whole very great quantities of rain; and a hot müde [heavy] atmosphere,—very hot today. Grass is growing here (in this garden for instance) as I never saw it.—— Busy, busy (to small purpose!), sacking up my confused mss &c). T. C.
first of the hail yesterday, & these windows dour to open or shut!

With the military forces of Russia now occupying parts of Ukraine and Crimea tension mounts world wide. Fear of war is escalating and not only are world leaders deeply concerned over the outcome of this situation but so are spiritual leaders.
On Tuesday morning, March 4th, 2014 President Putin pulled back his troops but stated he has the authority to protect Russians located in Ukraine and by all means if necessary.
His accusations that the West has encouraged Ukraine to be involved in anti-constitutional tactics has not gone unheard and he said they will backfire. While tensions have remained high troops from Moscow fired warning shots to keep protesting Ukrainian soldiers at bay.
It was reported that President Putin ordered 150,000 thousand on military training exercises to pull back from the border. It was not clear if this was done on the advice of the West to assist in de-escalating the crisis situation.
Now China has come on board with Russia and have given support by agreeing on Russia's move to secure troops in Ukraine.
As this "crisis" seem to be moving forward panic has set in and the Russian stock market has taken a huge hit. As of Tuesday it seemed that the stocks had regained a foothold, as it was felt the threat is no longer a red alert situation.
The US has made clear that President Obama must choose his words wisely and make careful choices as to what the next step will be should we send assistance to Ukraine. Security of State John Kerry is in route to Kiev to meet with the new leaders in Crimea. President Obama stated that Russia has violated an international law by it's actions toward Ukraine.
Robert Gates, former CIA agent and Russian expert has said that the President must envision his decisions at least three steps out as he considers his response to this critical situation.
The world, not just the nations publicly involved in the situation, but the entire world has come together to pray in unison for peace talks and urge the leaders to come to a civil agreement. Pope Francis was quoted to have said in his weekly Angelus at St Peter's Square, " I am close to Ukraine in prayer, in particular those who have lost their lives in recent days and to their families."
The Pope said that he hoped that a civil and constructive discussion between the national leaders and political communities would come together that could result in the avoidance of violence and that peace and the spirit of good fill the hearts of the world.
Mass rallies of spiritual believers, religious congregations, churches, and messengers from all faiths have gathered around the world to pray and join collective peaceful energies in a hope that peace can be obtained and that these wars between our neighbors of the world can come to and end.
The fate of the future, of the world as we know it, now stands at an even greater risk of being destroyed if the leaders we have selected rush into heated decisions based on materialistic and greedy deception. If the leaders use personal gain and immaturity in the heat of the moment to make a statement as to who has more power the fate of our world and the world we hope to have for our children most assuredly will come to an end.


text: The panel directed Gemini Project Manager Charles W Mathews and Colonel Richard C Dineen, Chief, Gemini Launch Vehicle, Air Force Space Systems Division, to form an ad hoc group to make an intensive 30-day study of work plans and schedules, with the goal of achieving manned flight in 1964. The next day (November 24), NASA, Air Force, and industry program managers met at Cape to lay out study areas and then met at 10-day intervals to develop ground rules, review progress, and coordinate their efforts. Mathews reported the results of the study at the next panel meeting, December 13, and described the ground rules that might bring Gemini-Titan (GT) 3, the first manned flight, to a 1964 launch. The primary factory affecting the spacecraft would be reducing Cape duplication of tests already accomplished at McDonnell and integrating the entire test effort. Although integration of launch vehicle testing at the Cape and Martin was already fairly good, there was still room for improvement. The master schedule that emerged from this study showed the following launches: GT-1, March 17, 1964; GT-2, August 11; and GT-3, November 6. GT-1A was strictly a backup, to be flown only if GT-1 failed.

James Dickey
Texas Tech Travels To Tempe To Face Arizona State
Red Raiders Looking For First Non-Conference Road Win Since 2011
James Dickey, whose fast-paced, exciting brand of basketball has resulted in almost 20 wins a season for Red Raider basketball, is in his ninth year as the head coach at Texas Tech University.
Considered by many to be one of the up-and-coming stars in the coaching ranks, Dickey has indeed elevated the Red Raider program. In fact, the success of Dickey?s program has played a critical role in the construction of Texas Tech?s United Spirit Arena, the new home of Red Raider basketball for the 1999-2000 season.
Five of his former players ? Cory Carr, Tony Battie, Mark Davis, Darvin Ham and Jason Sasser ? have played in the NBA since 1995-96. Battie became the first Red Raider to be selected as a lottery pick in June, 1997, when the All-America center was taken as the fifth pick by the Denver Nuggets.
In the 1998 draft, two-time Big 12 Conference leading scorer Cory Carr was selected in the second round by the Atlanta Hawks before being traded to the Chicago Bulls. Carr?s selection marked a school-record fourth consecutive year Texas Tech has had a player taken in the NBA draft.
Dickey?s Texas Tech teams have amassed a 145-90 overall record. Considering the plight of the program before his arrival (35-79 in four years), the resurgence of the Raiders has been quite revealing. Before he became head coach, Tech endured through four-consecutive losing seasons and was mired in a 13-45 two-year slump.
Dickey has been adorned with a variety of coach-of-the-year honors in his seven years as head coach at Texas Tech. Twice he was the league coaches? selection as the Southwest Conference Coach of the Year, including the unanimous choice in 1995-96. Dickey has been honored four times for District 7 by the National Association of Basketball Coaches. He has been named the Texas Association of Basketball Coaches Coach of the Year in four of his first eight years.
After being picked to finish last in Dickey?s inaugural season, the Red Raiders finished fifth at 6-8 in the league standings and Dickey earned well-deserved honors for his team?s turnaround performance. He was named consensus Southwest Conference Coach of the Year and also was named the National Association of Basketball Coaches District Coach of the Year, which placed him automatically as a nominee for national honors. All-star player and former Red Raider assistant coach Will Flemons was honored as SWC Player of the Year and consensus first team All-SWC.
Dickey?s status grew when the ?92-93 Red Raiders put together an impressive three-game run in the 1993 SWC Post-Season Classic. The ultimate victory came in the championship game as Tech defeated the Houston Cougars 88-76 and earned the league?s automatic berth to the NCAA tournament. It marked Tech?s first venture to the NCAAs since 1986. The SWC Post-Season Classic title marked the fourth such crown in school history. Only in his second year, Dickey had won the championship quicker than any previous coach.
Dickey branded more success on the Red Raider program when Texas Tech finished 17-11 in 1993-94. Tech?s 16-10 regular-season mark and the 10-4 league record were the best by a Texas Tech team since the 1985 squad won the SWC crown.
A year later, the 1994-95 Red Raiders climbed the national ladder by winning their first league crown in 10 years. A 20-10 mark gave Tech a 20-win season for the first time since 1985 and the Red Raiders made their second post-season appearance in three years, albeit in the NIT rather than the NCAA tournament. That disappointment resulted in major motivation for the 1995-96 squad, and with all but two players returning, led to Tech?s record-breaking 30-2 campaign.
During the 1995-96 season, his squad won a school-record 30 games (18-0 in SWC), swept through the final Southwest Conference regular season and Dr Pepper SWC Post-Season Classic and lost only two games on the court during the season. Texas Tech advanced to the NCAA Sweet 16 for the first time in the program?s history ? taking national power North Carolina and a backboard down along the way. Darvin Ham?s electrifying backboard-smashing dunk graced the cover of Sports Illustrated after the memorable win over the Tar Heels. It took Georgetown and Allen Iverson to stop Tech?s 23-game winning streak.
In 1995-96, the Red Raiders jumped into the Top 10 for the first time in school history, winding up No. 8 in the Associated Press poll and 10th according to the CNN/USA Today version. Dickey?s team was as high as seventh during the campaign.
His teams have also been tough in regular-season tournament play. In his eight seasons at the controls, the Red Raiders have entered eight regular-season tournaments. They have compiled a mark of 11-6 in those contests and have brought home three tourney titles.
He first got into coaching when he joined the staff at Harding College in Searcy, Ark., for the 1976-77 season. He earned his master?s degree during that stint with the Bison program.
From there, Dickey accepted his first head coaching job, taking the reins at the local high school, Harding Academy. His first step into the collegiate ranks was a return engagement to his alma mater at Central Arkansas. He was an assistant in the Bears? program for two seasons, helping the school to an overall record of 33-29.
Following the ?81 season at Central, Dickey accepted an offer from Eddie Sutton to join the Arkansas Razorbacks staff. Dickey worked at Arkansas for four seasons and helped lead the Razorbacks to a cumulative mark of 96-30. The Hogs put together four-straight NCAA appearances and won the 1982 SWC regular season and post-season titles.
Sutton accepted the head coaching job at Kentucky after the 1984-85 campaign, and Dickey also made the move to Lexington. The duo helped lead the Wildcats to an overall record of 90-40 in the next four seasons. Kentucky went to the NCAA Tournament three times during that span.
He got his first collegiate head coaching opportunity when legendary Tech coach Gerald Myers stepped down from coaching after the ?90-91 campaign. Dickey was named Tech?s 11th head coach on April 10, 1991, after serving as an assistant for a season.
Away from the players and coaching staff, Dickey does not have to look far to talk hoops. His wife ? the former Bettye Fiscus of Wynne, Ark., ? was a standout performer for the Arkansas Lady Razorbacks. The two met when Dickey was coaching at Arkansas.
The Dickeys have an 11-year-old daughter, Lauren Brooks, who is in sixth grade, and a three-year-old son, Jared Allen. DICKEY VS. THE OPPOSITION

There is no question that insulin causes weight gain. Insulin is a hormone secreted by the pancreas in response to sugar intake usually in the diet. Its role is to drive sugar into the cells of the body where it is used as a source of energy (measured in calories). Insulin therefore pumps calories into cells. If this energy (sugar) is not used by the cells or is more than is needed, it is converted into an energy storage form known as fat. Because of these actions insulin is called an "anabolic" hormone
The word "anabolic" means building up tissue. If a person is using his or her muscles and is physically active, the extra energy is converted into new (larger and/or stronger) muscles rather than fat. In a sense, a person who is sedentary, not using his muscles, getting more calories than he needs and taking insulin is in the midst of a "perfect (metabolic) storm" that will result in weight gain. The issue of insulin causing weight gain has long been a troubling aspect of the treatment for type 2 diabetes. It is not a problem in type 1 diabetes where patients have virtually no circulating insulin and need to receive it from an external source.
But in type 2 diabetes the physiology is quite different. Here the body does make insulin but the tissues are "resistant" to its effects. In fact in the early stages of type 2 diabetes insulin levels can actually be high. This occurs because the tissues are resistant to insulin and higher insulin levels become necessary to drive sugar (glucose) into the cells and thereby drop the sugar level in the blood.The cause of insulin resistance is complex and is still a very active area of research. It appears that a certain type of fat tissue, fat that is contained in the abdomen (also called visceral adipose tissue), produces certain hormones and other substances that together cause insulin resistance. This was a major surprise in medicine when it was discovered only 10 or 15 years ago. Prior to that fat tissue was considered to be "metabolically inert", which means that it was just a storage tissue and didn't affect metabolism. This was very far from the truth and visceral fat is now considered to be very active and complex metabolically. It produces a host of hormones (for example leptin, ghrelin and adiponectin) and other factors (cytokines) that have major influences on metabolism.
The discovery that insulin resistance was the central "lesion" in type 2 diabetes led to a whole area of research that resulted in linking type 2 diabetes to high blood pressure, truncal or abdominal obesity, abnormal blood lipids (elevated triglycerides and low HDL cholesterol) and high waist to hip ratio (the "apple" body type). It was originally described by Gerald Reaven, MD a professor of medicine at Stanford University, who named it Syndrome X to underscore how little understood it was and how it was more than just elevated blood sugars that caused disease. He wrote a book for the general public on this called syndrome x, published by Simon and Shuster in 2000. Syndrome X is now also called metabolic syndrome and prediabetes and the majority of people with type 2 diabetes have some or all of its features.
So getting back to the issue of insulin causing weight gain, you can see that using insulin to treat type 2 diabetes is problematic. The person with type 2 diabetes is usually overweight and circulating insulin levels may already be high. Adding additional insulin will certainly cause weight gain and this can actually make the insulin resistance worse. The usual justification is that using insulin will protect the remaining insulin-producing beta cells in the pancreas from having to work overtime. However, only a few months ago this issue was reviewed by one of the leading diabetes authorities in the world, Dr. Ralph DeFronzo. DeFronzo recently gave the prestigious Banting Lecture and it was published in the April 2009 issue of Diabetes. DeFronzo suggests that the American Diabetes Association guidelines for treatment of type 2 diabetes may be misguided and in need of revision.
Regarding insulin-induced weight gain, he notes that when insulin is added to the treatment regimen, "all of these insulin-based add-on studies have been associated with a high incidence of hypoglycemia [low blood sugar] and major weight gain (range 4.2-19.2 lbs, mean 8.5 lbs within 6-12 months or less)….Moreover it is unclear why one would initiate insulin before exenatide [a newer non-insulin drug] since insulin rarely decreases A1C to <7% and is associated with significant weight gain…" (Diabetes, Journal of the American Diabetes Association, April 2009, vol 58(4), page 786)

Tastetastic Thursday #7
Did y'all survive Halloween, or are you still in a sugar coma? Hopefully this week's recipe linkup with have a few "back to reality" recipes for you to detox a bit. I know I need it!
Before we get to the party, I just want to make sure everyone saw the Rolo cookies I made the other night. They only have four ingredients, so there's really no excuse not to make them. Hop on over and check them out.
And now for the main event! There's only one real rule: I ask that you link up NO MORE THAN two recipes. I'd also appreciate a link back, and it would be nice of you to visit your fellow partygoers. We're all here to see and be seen!
I'll pick three of my favorite links this weekend and do a little feature, but I can't feature you unless you have a link back to my site. Also, if you'd follow me on Facebook and/or Google Friend Connect, that would make me oh so very happy.
Have fun!

Tattoo's In Phuket
19 replies to this topic

I am often asked by people about getting a tattooo in Phuket. Firstly there are some excellent Tattooists mixed with some very average ones in Phuket from what I've seen with my own eyes.
My preference is for traditional Thai style tattooing as it is less painful and there is little damage to the skin. Many of the tattooists in Patong are paying big rents and charge pretty high prices for Thailand. There is one guy in Patong who has trained a lot of the others and supplies them with inks etc. He is an excellent tattooist and has been in Patong over 20 years.
I know a guy named Sorn who works at Surin Beach who is extremely talented and very reasonable in terms of price. He uses the traditional way with a small bamboo spear like tool with the needles fused on the end. Most tattooists won't do hand style tatts because of the time and concentration it takes.
It is a slower way of doing a tattoo but the results are extremely good. He also uses very good inks which is probably just as important as anything else.
The advantages are there is no down time after the tattoo is finished, no bleeding and no scarring. Vaseline seals the small pin marks and it heals virtually immediatley. You don't need antiseptic creams although you could use one if you wanted. You can do whatever you want virtually straight away.
Most people are concerned with infection or the downtime. I have seen Sorn do many tattoos and never seen or heard of any problems.
You can see his work online at www.nakhonsrithammarart.com where there are photos of his work. I'd be interested to hear any feed back from people who have had work done in Phuket.

I can highly recommend Khob in Kata, his webaddress is Khob's website. He also does only the traditional bamboo tattoos, and is excellent.
Posted 2008-02-07 21:32:24
Thanks for the 2 links.
very instructive indeed.
i will have a look over it during my next vacations !!!
Posted 2008-02-08 09:11:36
These are pics of his best work ??
To me that looks miss shapen, malformed, non symmetrical.. Typical of hand done work. See the same thing (and scary hygiene risks) with Sak Yank Temple tatts.
Best guy I know around is Em / Am operating out of Soi easy.. Great work, good freehand stuff and cover ups.. Proper inks.. Autoclave.. Plus if you hang about, have a beer with him, not act like a tourist customer and fit his schedule of when the chair is empty, he does really great pricing. Tho to me pricing would be far far secondary compared to the mark you will wear forever.
Posted 2008-02-08 11:47:13
Well you cannot judge a tattoo too much from a photo as it depends on the angle it is shot from, how the person is standing or the position of the arms etc. As for hygiene, a machine tattoo has much more risk of infection and scarring due to the bleeding and scabbing.
Naturally in the hands of a good professional there should be no problems with either style. My friend got a small tattoo on his back about 2 years ago in Patong, not only is there noticable scarring it has faded very badly already so you must choose your artist carefully.
Recently a man from Australia went for 2 tattoos in Patong. He wanted "Geelong Football club Day premiers 2007" on the right arm and "Night Premiers" with the year on the left arm. He actually wrote it down on a piece of paper as he was drunk and ended up falling asleep.
When he woke up he had the words "Right Arm" tattooed on his arm with "Gay Premiers" on the left arm he had "Left Arm" tattooed above his message
This made the front page of every newspaper in Australia with warnings about Patong tattoo artists. I dunno where Soi easy is but if it is the Soi next to Gonzo I know the shop and that guy is very good also. At O-top market there is a guy called Chai, he is Patongs oldest tattooist and one of the best.
Hand stylists like Sorn cannot be compared with the traditional temple tattoos where no stencil is used and no ink of quality can be found. Many Thai guys I know have had both machine and hand tatts done. Many actually prefer the hand style because they say it never scars the skin. I am no expert in the subject but Chai saw the tattoos on the website in the flesh while we were there one night buying needles, he was extremely impressed. He said he could do it but would charge double the price as it takes so much concentration and time.
Many of the posed tattoo shots you see are done under lights with the tatt oiled up and they look great. The shots on the site were shot in bright daytime sunlight at the beach as they were being done. The guy with the Tiger tatt got it done in Patong by machine, he was unhappy with it and it looked piss poor really. The touch up couldn't fix it completely but it did make it look a bit better.
The same time this was going on a German guy came over. He had a full back tattoo that cost him thousands in euros. He claimed it was done by some award winning artist in Germany. He said by the time he was finished he would have spent 10,000 euro which to me was ridiculous. He was actually a bit gopsmacked when he saw the work Sorn was doing for the price.
He begrudgingly accepted it was great work which was surprising considering the way he was boasting about his German tattooist.
Posted 2008-02-08 13:26:30
I dont dissagree with any of your points about hygene, skin scaring etc..
But I still think that tat is poor..
Look at the circular sections with triangles.. 3 of them have 3 triangles (all irregular) and the top right has only 2 ?!?!
The lower left section of the cross is definatly lower / distorted.
The 3 top bars, where the inner celtic type motif looks out of shape (most notably the top ones symmetry).
Just think thats not a good example of skin art. My 2c only.
Posted 2008-02-08 15:10:14
Well Celtic knots are meant to be all different. They are not meant to be symetrical.
With Celtic art used for tatttoos, a lot of it is taken from old books or manuscripts like the Book of Kells so yes the flash may not be perfect. Knotwork is an art form of its own, some like it, some may not like it. Its all a matter of taste, I personally like Celtic art (My Irish genes) but others might hate it.
If you go to www.eviltattoo.com you can see just about every tattoo design in existence. If you look closely you can often see very small detail problems which go unnoticed by 99% of people.
When I first became interested in Celtic art I too was confused by what I thought were mistakes until I realised it is meant to be like that.
I agree the triangles could be better but that is exactly how the flash was. The reason forums like this can be useful is people at least have access to information and can go look for themselves. I was the greatest skeptic of hand tattooing as I too had seen the stuff done in temples. When I saw Sorns work I was blown away by how good it was, given he had only 4 colours to work with.
As he gets more work and more of a rep he will have more money to get more inks. He tells me he might buy a machine to offer machine tatts to those who want them. He cannot speak English so must work with others who can.
Phuket can be a great place if you know where to go, where to avoid and who to do business with. I feel obligated to promote the decent and honest trader trying to make a small earn.
Surin beach has some absolutely appalling and untrustworthy people running businesses there. Now its being slowely taken over by resort owners from Patong and other places wanting a cleaner beach for their customers. Now many local people are missing out and are not happy. Surin, Bang Tao and Cherng Talay were so quiet and peaceful even 10 years ago. Now it is condo city unfortunatley.
Can't wait for Thaksins return, then I'll have something to laugh about again............

Interesting topic this one, thought I'd join in.
Sorn's work looks good to me.. the guys definately talented and if he keeps improving he will be very good/established artist in a few years I'd have thought. In my opinion you can't really compare a machine done tattoo to a hand done, bamboo tattoo. The amount of skill and patience that goes into doing tattoos the bamboo way is immense. Couple of years ago I had a bamboo tattoo done up in Pai, north Thailand. Korn the guy that did it for me was pretty decent I thought at the time and I came away with a tattoo that I was very happy with.
It's an individual thing after all.. what looks good to one person looks <deleted> to another. The fact that it's painstakingly done by hand means that there will be imperfections, but then something can look too perfect, too machined and that also looks crappy I think. I agree with logbags that Celtic style designs are meant to be inperfect.. of course, the roots of these type of designs came from a time when there wasn't any electric tatoo machines!
Any more tattos I have done will certainly be bamboo style as for me there is also a much more spiritual element to the whole experience that sitting in Joes tatoo parlour getting machined to a stencile. I'm currently living in Cherngtalay, near to Surin and will try and check this guy out pretty soon. I have a few tatoos that were done many years ago now and I'd like to find somebody decent to re-do/take them into a new fresh design.
Posted 2008-02-09 22:57:16
Well thank you for the positive feedback. If you need your tatts re-coloured or touched up for sure see Sorn as he comes up with some great ideas. I saw him retouch a Belgium guys 30 year old faded tatt and it came up really well.
I am currently in Australia but I spoke to Sorn on the phone yesterday and he said he has had steady business over Christmas and January. He can even go to your place and you can watch TV or have a few beers while he works on you. I sent him over some nice starbright ink colours as it is a lot cheaper here in Oz.
If you see him give him the website address as he is yet to see it. I sent him a lot of Tattoo flash I had on my computer so he now has a good range of ink and a lot of great designs. He has literally started from nothing and Prapai and Chern were recently cheated out of a lot of money so every baht they make is much needed.
A lot of things we read here on these pages are about the bad things done to farangs. For every Farang robbed or cheated there is probably about 20 Thai's suffering the same fate or worse. Overall Thailand has delicious and cheap food, great beaches and offers great value for what you spend. That suit shop at Surin is another place I would recommend, the guy who manages it is Indian but he has lived in South Thailand for years and is married to a local girl.
He is a great guy who loves a chat. He is very straight talking and offers a surprisingly bullshit free deal. I asked him how the suit business worked as there was so many of them and I could not understand how they all made a living. He told me quite frankly what the real margins were and what I should pay for a fair deal.
One thing I wanted to know was exactly where all the touts came from as even the Thais have no idea. He said they tell people they are from Nepal or Bangladesh but they are actually all Burmese. He said they know the Thais are not keen on the Burmese so they claim to come from everywhere but there. I am not a suit wearer but I would get one there if I was, simply because he is so straight up about it all.
Friends of mine who go to Thailand always tell me the biggest problem they face is knowing where to go where they won't get ripped of or get dodgy goods or gear. It helps to hear feedback from people who have had good or bad experiences.

I use Ann (Andy) at Siam tattoo in Soi Easy, patong, i think he is one of the best artists on the island, i recently got a full sleeve done, i get at least 2 comments a day on how good it looks, which i have never experiemced with any of my other wrok from other artists..im very happy with it.
Jimmy Wong the world renown tattoo artist also comes to see Andy every few months to get work done, so thats gotta say something!!
Posted 2008-02-10 12:28:25
This guy sounds real good, where is soi easy? Is it that shop tucked in the left hand corner next to the gold shop in the soi beside Gonzo? If it is I have seen his work and it's very impressive.
A lot of shops have flash and pictures from magazines outside their shops. This guy has a folio of great work of his own with one of the best tigers I have ever seen. A lot of the tatt shops were going real bad when I spoke to them late November and early December. It is really a case of too many in a small market.
The rents kill them unless they can get steady work, Chai supplies inks and needles to everyone so he has a good business. A number of people I spoke with were actually former artists or graduates from art school who have taken up tattoong as they can make a better living doing it.
A lot are from Nakhon Sri like Sorn and a lot of people who sell stuff like silver are from Nakhon. The talented and decent trader should get publicity and promotion on these forums.
Post some pictures of your tattoo if you can so I can have a look.
Posted 2008-02-10 13:08:56
Yes he is the small shop tucked in the left hand side next to the gold shop, but its in soi easy not gonzo...next to the Aussie Bar..ill try post some pics soon, all he did was do a rough outline of the fish and the rest of the sleeve was all freehand, straight off the gun, i got jap style koi fish and lillies etc.....very impressive, ive had 4 friends go in and get big work done just after seeing the work he did on me...he is although very busy and can be ahrd to get a booking.
Posted 2008-02-10 13:59:46
Ann is one of my good friends, he really like his job and will look into the tattoo you want, he do nice freehands as well also coverup
Posted 2008-02-10 14:30:26
Known him for years too.. Hes done large pieces on lots of my mates (funnily enough large koi carp on one of them) plates sleves etc.. Never seen any fault on anything.
For machine work I wouldnt look anywhere else.
Posted 2008-02-10 15:31:37
Well I thought is was this guy. I spend a lot of time wandering around just chatting to people when I am in Patong. You see good art or ink work and you just know what has the x factor and what doesn't. You hang around long enough and you know who runs a professional business and who are the quick buck merchants.
The koi fish is a beautiful piece of art. The photos on the Sorn site don't do his fish justice as the shots were taken in very bright sunlight so you cannot see the richness in the colours. This guy in soi easy does really bright and vibrant work from what I've seen. I see a lot of locals in his shop so he must have a name.
Chai showed me a tiger he done on his computer and it blew my mind how nice it was. That Andy guy also has a leopard picture in his album that is brilliant. I agree a well done tatt can look awesome so its best to find the best available man for the job.
I've seen Sorn do pieces for Thai guys where he just does a basic stencil and works free hand from there. That to me is the sign of a true artist, he backs his judgement and trusts his skills.
I will certainly recommend this Andy guy to others. I remember me and Sorn went to his shop for a look one night as I wanted to show Sorn that leopard with the green eyes he has in his photo album.
Thais consider dreaming about the koi fish to be extremely lucky, especially if you see diamonds or gold in its mouth. My first wife dreamt about the koi fish and gold and won 55,000 baht in the 3 digit lottery a few days later as the number 377 appeared in the dream with the fish. A good amount of money in 1985.
Most mythology has the fish as a symbol of luck and intelligence, it appears in most cultures. Try to get up a pic or two if you can.
I want to paste a few but dunno how to do it
I have some amazing flash if anybody ever needs any. Everything from all over the world.
Posted 2008-02-10 16:23:11
The guy on Soi easy is Ann (tho I have heard him called em also) and it seems he has adopted Andy tho I have never called him that..
He did a sleave on a buddy that was dark and shades with tiny tiny bright red flowers in it.. The red really 'pops' on the dark background and is even more niticeable simply by how little there is.. Its very distinctive.. The kind of thing that would be hard to imagine being as good as it is on the skin.
Posted 2008-02-10 17:00:23
There are some shots of Siam tattoo's work here.
Posted 2008-02-10 17:40:21
The following photos I found on the web are Am or Andys work. Pretty awesome work for sure. I would imagine this work would cost 10's of thousands of baht.
Posted 2008-02-11 04:33:54
I can only agree that Ann (Andy) at Siam tattoo is one of the best in Phuket, he did a Koi across the ribs of a friend of mine, great work. I had bamboo tattooed across my shoulder by Bond who then worked at Phuket Extreem Tattoo and Piercing at Ocean Sopping in Phuket town (owned by ZU, a very good tattooist and piercer, but a bit crazy) Bond now moved to Indian Tattoo at the south en of Patong Beach, he works there and also every year a few month in Sweden. His tats have one tons of prices ar shows in Europe, check him out.
Posted 2008-02-12 17:39:07
I have been to that shop at Ocean. How many tattooists or artists are there who aren't a bit mad. It comes with the brilliant talent, you need a very abstract mind.
I just spoke to Prapai and she said Sorn is getting more and more business so I am very happy for him to be making an earn. He is doing a full back that is going to take him 2 days starting tommorow.
So if anybody wants to take a look at his work they can trot on down to Surin beach for a look.

The Doobie Brothers will exit the South on Saturday after they perform in Alabama for the second consecutive night this month. On Friday night, despite heavy rains, they had jammed for a packed crowd at their Tuscaloosa venue, according to this July 19 report from the Alabama Media Group. But minutes before they were to take the stage in Orange Beach tonight they told fans on their Doobie Brothers Facebook page that based upon how it looks to them right now, "it'll be drier than it was last night, but no rain was gonna stop Tuscaloosa from having a good time!!," so you know they expect the same turnout and passion in Orange Beach.
On Thursday night they were bringing down the packed house at the Verizon Wireless Amphitheatre in Georgia's Alpharetta neighborhood. And that was something considering it was such a hot night in the South, with little in the way of a breeze to cool the fervent crowd of fans. But no matter where they go during their 2014 tour, the weather isn't going to stop this band from delivering, and they are giving photographers some great Kodak moments of the digital variety. And that's sure to continue.
If you haven't caught their show yet, you only have a limited number of venues and states to do so before they head north to Canada in October, so check out their 2014 Tour Schedule and get your tickets soon, as they are selling out fast. And you might want to make the Aug. 9 show at Fort McCoy in Sparta, WI, since the group is going to "give all monies from that concert to the Soldiers for programs, equipment and facilities," they said.
The benevolent rock group is slated to be honored into the IEBA's Hall of Fame later this year. And this will be the first time International Entertainment Buyer's Association has ever inducted a rock act into their midst. So it is quite the honor, especially considering the distinguished company that they will be in as a result, like musical and entertainment stars Johnny Cash, George Jones and Dick Clark, who once told Tom Johnston that he looked like Burt Reynolds in an American Bandstand appearance.
And if you ever wondered what a Doobie gets up to when they are not on tour, just ask John McFee and John Cowan, who worked on an album project together that will have them both appearing in September at the Grand Ole Opry. And yes, this Examiner will be there with bells on to cover that hot event, and you will want to read all about it here as soon as she does. So stay tuned, because we will be reviewing Cowan's upcoming album Sixty before then, as it will be released in August.

Progress continues on the restoration of the state Capitol dome, with crews reaching a milestone as they work hidden behind the large white scrim encircling the structure, brand new gold leaf is now being applied over the copper-clad dome. Crews are applying approximately 140,000, 3 1/8" x 3 1/8" gold leaves on top of the copper plates that cover the dome. The leaves are rolled out of 24-karat gold and contractors estimate it will take about 60 ounces of gold to cover the entire dome.
