The house of Thierry Mugler announces two new editions arriving on the market in March 2012. These are sophisticated, elegant and chic eau de toilettes that will bring the popular compositions closer to girls and women who prefer transparent editions – aquatic fragrances.
Both editions will not go far from the popular topic they are famous for, but will be more transparent and purified with aquatic accords.
Angel Aqua Chic is composed of lemon, pink pepper, corn flower water lying on a base composed of patchouli and vanilla. The fragrance is available in a traditional star-shaped bottle, 50ml EDT. Perfumer of the new version is Aurelien Guichard.

summer fruitier version of Angel, as simple as that, i dunno why but i pick up a watermelon note from this.amazing scent trail.much more wearable than Angel.summer time this will shine.i imagine yacht on clear blue water and beautiful blue skies. lots of cocktails with hat and summer holidays music....happy times...unisex imo.love this 9/10 for me .lasting power is great...go 4/5 sprays, i reviewed it in "Joy Amin" YouTube Channel, can check it out of you guys want :)
Fan of the original Angel and I also love this for all seasons and cooler summer days. I use Angel Sunessence for humid weather.
Berry Lemonade Angel <3
Very refreshing!!!
I've been on the hunt for a few new summer fragrances, and this is just perfect!! It's so beautiful and will be great in the heat as it's very refreshing!
I don't find it masculine at all, it's such a soft lemony/vanilla scent. The lemon is most prominent on me, followed by a very polite patchouli, not like the patchouli in the original Angel. It doesn't overwhelm the perfume at all.
I barely get the pink pepper, which pleases me immensely as i'm not too big a fan of pepper in perfumes. It does have a slight plastic whiff, which i'm assuming could be the cornflower, but it's not offputting in the slightest.
It lasts ages on me, and i get the gorgeous wafts of lemon hitting my nose all day, but it's not too strong... I can't wait to start wearing this more come the summer, i can see me reaching for it a lot!
As I love love love Angel edp and edt (edp is my signature scent and long time lover) I thought I would love this , but actually I almost hate it. I can appreciate the fragrance but it is not for me. I felt the exact same way with Angel Eau Sucrée, which I bought at the same time! Both times I assumed I would love them, as I love original Angel so much.
Eau Sucrée is killing me with peppery berries, but in this one it is a no go because of too much patchouli, and combined with the lemon it becomes headache inducing. The two fragrances smell very different, but have a very odd note in common I can't really tell what is, but which is very nausiating and headache inducing. Some sort of peppery patchouli undertone..
I can definetely not see this as a summer scent, but I can vaguely see a comparison to Coco Chanel Mademoiselle . Wish it was fresher and lighter, and I wish loved it as much as I had hoped - same goes for Angel Eau Sucrée - but actually I can't stand neither of them.
But ! The bottle is a masterpiece - SO beautiful and pretty and unique. Same goes for the add and packaging <3
Zesty lemon with a sprinkling of pepper is what I get. It's fresh and welcoming definitely a perfect scent for a nice warm summers day.
It smells like the drydown of A*man - after this one loses its inicial coffee scent. However, I used to like A*man, but after I've worn Acqua chic, both make me sick (literaly). Now, sadly for me, it is just headache in a bottle.
With the title "aqua chic" I always get too hasty with this one. This might appear to be something light & refreshing with the name and packaging, but it is so not like that for me. It sprays out a lot at a time too, I have to remember just one spray on my chest or I get a headache.
This is a nice sparkly patchouli however, if you want a patchouli that is about medium in power with refreshing and warm angles this is a good one to try. The lemon is the strongest note followed by the patchouli to my nose, that's what makes the patchouli bright and sparkly to me. The cornflower too adds a nice cleaner crispness, although it is more on the subtle side for me. Overall though the fragrance is not very clean, but I feel like the cornflower balances the dirtiness from the patchouli so that it's more neutral.
The vanilla is warm, and I'm not sure if it's an odd combination of notes or my imagination but I smell some phantom praline in here. Maybe it has something to do with the pink pepper note.
Anyhow, if you would like a sparkling medium strength patchouli this is a good one to try!
I tried a tester vial of this and unlike some others, I loved the opening of this on me - its warm sparkling lemon with a hint of sugar and pepper. Light and citrusy but feminine and soft, I loved it and I was looking where I could buy a full bottle of it but then the top notes disappeared in about 15-20 mins and it turned into a non descript cornflower on me with a masculine edge - not for me at all! I don't get even a hint of the original angel from this and no vanilla. Such a shame, it just doesnt work on my body chemistry!
disclaimer: I *love* Angel.
I received a bottle of Angel Aqua Chic as a gift, and I've never really been able to wrap my arms around her like the original. TMN, the first impression is unbearably strong citrus/citronella/antiseptic, like mosquito candles. That fades to a softer, warm lemon/floral scent with a little spiciness. Not unpleasant, but I can't really get past the first 5 minutes.
I tested this one today thinking it would be a weaker, watered down version of Angel. This one is unmistakably an Angel and is anything but watered down or weak. She is brighter, crisper, fresher than her older sister but every bit as powerful and long-lasting.
Upon the first spritz at 7:30am I thought: Uh oh, this is WAY too much this early in the morning. But then I started to enjoy the citrus opening to the very recognizable, very patchouli, very vanilla dry down. Ten hours later the fragrance was still going strong and I really didn't need to reapply but I finished up the last of my sample vial anyway just to get that beautiful citrus again. My reaction was one again: Uh oh, this is way too much. I really shouldn't have reapplied.
In short, I like this fragrance. If I ever run out of Angel (doubtful) I would definitely consider replacing it with this version of Aqua Chic (I haven't tried the other yet) especially since this one is making its way into discount stores now.
Is this sweet? Dos ot have a good longevity and sillage?
Oh this is really very nice. A freshened, lightened up version of Angel that works beautifully in the warmer weather - heat and humidity. I sprayed this on earlier today and 4+ hours later, after a busy day of running around, it is still beautiful, refreshing, lightly sweet and wearable. What a treat. I think that I like this even better than the original Angel.
I received a decant of angel aqua chic knowing that It was going to be a scrubber. I thought to myself that anything kin to the original angel had to be just as awful as angel itself. But woah was I surprised! I actually like it! It's bright and fresh with just enough of the original angel to know its part of the angel family.
I was so happy to have found an angel that works for me, and I was lovingly sniffing my writs when *poof* it was gone. I'm talking within minutes of application it was completely gone. This perfume has the worst longevity I have ever experienced. I was so bummed! Uh I guess angel and I were never meant to be :(
This was a blind buy for me and I must say that I am disappointed by the longevity. It lasted less than an hour on my skin which is odd because fragrances usually last forever on my skin. Otherwise this is a wonderful fragrance. Much better than the original EDP. I love the EDT but the EDP is too much for me. This flanker smells wonderful. It opens with a fresh citrusy note that dissipates quickly and dries down to patchouli heaven that reminds me of Coco Mademoiselle, which is a favorite of mine. This would be a repurchase if it lasted longer.
All I can say is...this is for women?? Eeks! Not this woman!! I got a sample and tried it tonight, and am now wishing it wasn't so late or I'd take a shower...not for me. At all.
I love the original Angel, and I don't like this flanker...it's too masculine/unisex and 'sporty' for my liking. It's basically the original minus all the sweet-candy notes...so you're left behind with a strong patchouli + squeeze in a large lemon and a teaspoon of vanilla sugar. Not for me, but I would recommend it to guys, or women who want a fresh, lemon-patchouli scent, something sporty but unique. I gave the sample to my brother, and he liked it, he did not even suspect it to be a female fragrance. I think the 2013 version is better than this, more feminine...but you prefer lemon and a unisex-vibe then this is the one you want.
Smells like Angel, but on the lighter side. I really like this one. I got it 50% at Perfumania in the mall so I was even more please about that. I'm still planning on getting Angel when I want a heavier scent, but this one is a keeper for me.
Oh Gosh i love the citrus in this..I love this version of Angel..i tried to go for Chanel Eau Fraiche or Light Blue but those turn masculine on me so this delivers everything those couldn't..If i were to compare this version of Aqua Chic it has some similar notes to Coco Mademoiselle..its not an exact dupe but the citrus notes with the patchouli right of the bat remind you a bit of Mademoiselle and i actually preferred the sweetness in this alot..its very fresh and fun almost like a citrus soda..it is an EDT but the best part is if you really like this scent you can wear it year round not like the others that turn on your chemistry because they are strickly for summer,spring..you never have that problem with Thierry Mugler fragrances they are strong,generably long lasting and very remeberable and unique..this is very refreshing and you can spray alot and not be turned off..a wonderful summer fragrance but i will wear it year round i just like citrus scents that much.I love this bottle the best its teal with glitter all over it...just wish i could refill this stuff when gone..but the bottle is totally refillable and you can always put regular Angel in it which is really nice.
I got it .Less sugar more lemon ,after a orange juice smell it became Angelself .
I get the pink pepper coming through pretty strong, and it throws it off for me. A lot of people really like this one, but not me. Maybe my cousin will like it. Too bad. T_T
I received a sample of this beauty from a very special member of the forum and I absolutely love this fragrance. Excellent for summer; soft sweet and a great alternative when I don't want the strength of the original Angel perfume.
I am really disappointed with this one. I was happy to find lighter version of Angel which would be suitable for summer. And it is if not the lasting power which on me is totally none. I love the scent, it's light and unique (even though so popular these days). After 2 times spraying it is noticable for first 15 mins and then it's just gone. Such a shame. Nothing else than coming back to EDT.
I think guys can easily pull this off, it'll be sexy on both men and women.
Throughout the top and middle notes its bright with a masculine,spicy hint, at the same time theres a slight, underlying rich sweetness. As u get into the base notes I just get the rich sweet scent.
Definitely a statement day-time scent and it sticks around on me for six hrs, sillage is higher for the first 4 hours,during the last two hours with the base notes its close to the skin. The woman who wears this is surely confident.
itried this yesterday it remind me of see preez for ten minutes then it turned like men after shave cologne ialredy have the virsion of 2009 and it is more better and femmine than this
Right from the initial application this was very pleasant. The patchouli is there but it was not dark and unrelenting. Do I dare say refreshing? Yes, this fragrance successfully signifies the word AQUA. Whispers of citrus in the background along with the sweet vanilla and soft spices resulting in a fresh and upbeat version of the original. More friendly, highly wearable and still uniquely beautiful.
This one is a big and positively delightful surprise to a non-Angel wearer like me. Angel and I did not get along well, one spray sent me dashing to the sink to wash it off my wrist. However, I was determined to explore the world of Angel until I find one my chemistry will be willing to work with. Then I was gifted this curious concoction, ANGEL AQUA CHIC ... finally the search is over!
I am not fond of any Angel versions as I find them uninteresting, too light and I feel they somehow ruin the whole concept of the original Angel, but Aqua Chic is beyond all expectations.
This is crème de la crème for a perfect summer feeling, refreshing, radiant, energizing, uplifting, it instantly puts smile on my face, I adore it! I see slight resemblance with Shiseido Zen.
One more perfume that I regret being a limited edition.
I don't understand what has happened here. I sprayed Aqua Chic at Sephora, smelled the card, and thought, "Wow, that is a totally different take on Angel!" and walked away. A couple of months later when their VIB 20% off sale was going on, I returned to buy it, but by then it was gone.
I found a site that was having a 20% off deal, and ordered Aqua Chic. When it arrived, I spritzed one little drop on one wrist and let it dry.
Suddenly my husband, who was downstairs, is sniffing the air and saying, "It smells like a perfume counter in here!" It was so strong that the scent had traveled downstairs and almost immediately I couldn't detect anything other than Angel. There were no citrus notes, no cornflower, or even the lighter, more refreshing scent that I had smelled in Sephora. It's just Angel, straight-up.
So either my bottle was filled with the wrong juice or my nose has failed me. It's been about four hours now and I washed that wrist thoroughly and it still smells so strongly. I'm pretty disappointed as I was looking for a lighter, more refreshing version of Angel.
This breeze of glittering silver spray is another work of art in the oceanic themed scents by Thierry Mugler.
The notes are not cloying or heavy with the scent of patchouli or woody notes.
The lemon scent is a wonderful opening with the pink pepper and sultan seeds. The base notes in combination with heart notes is chic, bold and energetic.
This scent's sillage lasts so long and smells so soft and
fresh as flower kissed ocean breeze.
Angel Aqua Chic is a really fresh take on the original Angel, however it's lacking the gourmand qualities that I enjoy. It's a somewhat light and musty patchouli scent, freshened up with sour, sparkling citrus.
Although the original is fairly controversial and difficult to wear, it has character. Unfortunately the same can't be said of Angel Aqua Chic. Its inoffensive sillage and approachable scent makes it great for Summer, but also very bland and unexciting.
I have no idea what cornflour is supposed to smell like, so I can't really detect it in this composition. Like I mentioned before, the patchouli is quite a dominant fixture in Angel Aqua Chic. However, it does vary in strength. During the opening it seems less noticeable, but by the drydown it becomes much more apparent.
Like the original Angel EDP, this Summer flanker also has a touch of mystery. It's not a bad scent, however I would probably choose the original over and above Angel Aqua Chic, (and any other similar Summer-inspired flankers for that matter), if I ever had Angel cravings.
I don't know about anyone else, but I would love to see an Angel intense flanker. Now that would be fun. But then again, I suppose Angel Liquer de Parfum has already achieved that.
On a more positive note, the longevity is to be applauded. It's a good concept and a pleasing result. However if I were the perfumer, I would either make it more aquatic and crisp, or skip making it altogether.
I love this *Angel light' without being able to tell the various notes apart..It's definetely a summery scent!
It also reminds me of the 2011 Angel Silver Ocean Sunessence version, but I believe it's a tad more salty and lemony. Can anyone corroborate?
I definitely love it, its sparkly, lemony and marine. The salty notes make it for me, its like ocean foam on your skin...I lived by the ocean all my life, this certainly takes me home. Unfortunately it stays on the skin for a pretty short time, 3 hours and its gone... the final notes remind you of the original Angel which is nice, since its still there without being overwhelming. I used Angel a long time ago and now its just too much, but this version made it!! I'm curious about Angel Ocean d'Argent...I wish I could try it and compare. The Angel Sunessence Pivoine is much similar to Angel but the Pivoine added a Victoria's Secret quality to it that for me is unbearable. Aqua Chic brings Italian champagne and summer evenings by the beach together with a hint of chocolaty-vanilla in the end...eatable! Just be ready to spray it often because it will fade away very fast.
This is much more wearable Eau de Star! Starts off really muffled, pale and way too silent. Like, they washed away everything that was great in original. I thought that this shamelessly cut down version was boring as hell.
Next one there was patchouli and sweetish notes like Eau de Star Lite with a little cologney accord. Lasts, but not too original.
Bottle looks the same as 50ml Angel EDP only it has glitter coverage. Glitter doesn't go off or stay on hands. It's like lacquered or someting.
Angel Aqua Chic is worse than the original Angel. It smells of patchouli, patchouli and more patchouli. I don't know how this is suppose to be a summer scent!!
To me this smells exactly like Angel, only maybe a little less chocolate and caramel, and a lot more patchouli and a vague sense of flowers. I do like it a lot. It is definitely identifiable as a part of the Angel family.
At first sniff, the top notes were intoxicating. I smelled a beautiful, fresh pink lemonade type smell. I kept sniffing it, thinking I had to have it. But then those notes faded very quickly and I was left with sort of a one-note, flatlined patchouli with not much excitement or depth. I find Angel, Angel EDT, and Innocent to have such a richness and roundness but Aqua Chic left me wanting more of, well, something else. I just felt it lacked the uniqueness and pizazz that the other Mugler fragrances have. Unfortunate since the top notes are to die for.
I fully expected to hate this, being a lover of the original Angel (not the current version which I swear has been reformulated into smelling nothing like it used to), but I actually really like it.
I mainly get cornflower and red berries like another reviewer. This to me is like the bits of Angel you're supposed to smell but I cannot. Thankfully also no aquatic bathroom cleaner type smell either which is what aquatics usually smell like to me. It smells like water, yes, but not faux-seawater-beach-toilet cleaner. It reminds me of a cornflower eye make up remover I used to have actually, Klorane.
It's not long lasting or huge on sillage but as a pretty summerish perfume, I like it a lot, enough to maybe seek out a bottle.
I bought Angel Aqua Chic a few days ago and have been wearing it daily. I call Angel Aqua Chic the Pale Angel. Very light and close to the skin. The fruit-chouli accord shares a similar vibe to Chanel's Coco Mlle EdT, therefore if you like that perfume then you may like this Angel perfume. Aqua Chic is a fresh and airy Angel toilette in which the talked about hydrosols give the scent the airy feeling. Overall it's a pretty summer Angel essence in which you can still smell some of the original Angel accord. Longevity is five hours on me and sillage is low to medium. I do feel the price is high considering it is a toilette, but nevertheless, it is a perfume to sample at least. Hard core Angel fans will probably pass on this one but those of us who won't wear the original Angel EdP due to it tenacity and density, might enjoy the Aqua Chic. I'm enjoying it (so far). Nice bottle too and it's similar to the original Angel designed bottle but with it's own special touches.
Woody and earthy, nothing like most aquatic fragrances but somehow still very sporty and fresh. The initially strong patchouli gives way to pink pepper, lemon and cornflower. That vanilla/cotton candy/spiced chocolate note that we love Angel ODP for is clearly detectable, but in a much more subtle way. I'd say it has Angel's innocence but it is chic and quirky for completely different reasons.
I just received a sample of Aqua chic and I already know I will be purchasing the whole bottle soon ..... First time ever I don't smell patchouli in Angel!
On my skin it smells sweet like sugar with a bit of zesty lemon and lime juice and pink pepper but you could still smell that Angel chocolate-honey +vanilla note. It is very light and refreshing suprisingly.
I absolutely love it ! Perfect Angel for spring and summer.
I can smell patchouli at the drydown but it is very light and quite pleasant
A great addition to the Angel line. To my nose, it's quite similar to the Eau de Toilette, but it has a more "sparkly" quality to it, like sun-kissed skin. Imagine someone's skin while they're out in the sun, by the beach, with some tanning lotion on, or maybe relaxing by the pool. It may not have "aquatic" notes, but it's able to successfully channel images of sun and surf. If you want an Angel for summer, look no further. Sillage and longevity are awesome.
I loved the original Angel when I was a teenager, but then got over it and could never warm up to it again. Tried this new version yesterday, and at first there is soft, beautiful citruses, playing with the cornflower essence. Then the 'Angel' comes out with its bedrock of patchouli and vanilla, only much softer and lighter and then finally, after 15 minutes, wonderful red berries that are not listed here. Fantastic combo, loved it!
Angel has gone sporty!! If my decant is labeled correctly, this is nothing at all like the Angel!!! Or any Angel. I don't smell that strong patchouli or anything sugary sweet here. If there really is a patchouli, then it is a really subtle and clean one. It's delightful. This is, by far, the freshest and sportiest Angel ever. No salty oceanic note, no sugar topping, no cream, no calories. This should be more appealing to anyone, especially those who dislike the good old Angel. All the guys in the yard should check this edition out too.
I really enjoyed this version of Angel. This is going to sound weird, but it has a plastic scent to it that I honestly really like. For some reason it reminds me of the scent of one of those colorful vinyl beach balls, or maybe a clear vinyl beach bag. To me, that's the only thing "aqua chic" about it. It's not refreshing to me in any way. I guess I expected stronger citrus and cornflower, but I smell mostly vanilla and patchouli. And of course this edition is very nice for people who find the other versions of Angel way too heavy and complicated. This is a beach scent with a gourmand touch. For such a light perfume, longevity is excellent.

" Brand: Weleda / Texture: Cream / Type: Night Cream "
* Prices may differ from that shown
Night cream that has got a rich rose fragrance.
This night cream comes in a bright pink tube that is very attractive but I think it does not make me think that this is a very good quality product. The tube is quite thick and it is hard to squeeze sometimes but I like that the hole is wide enough for me to squeeze out as much as I need because the cream has got quite a thick texture also so it was a surprise when it was supplied in a tube instead of a pot. My tube is 30ml but I think that other sizes are available.
I have been using this cream every night for 3 weeks and think it is very effective for the small amount of money that it costs. It smells very beautiful and has got a strong natural rose fragrance, I like it but it is unusual for a face care product to have such a very strong smell like this.
I use it only at night and I would not apply it in the day because it makes my skin look greasy even though it is not an oily cream. It is very creamy and rich and I think that is why it makes my face shiny, it sinks in quite quick but not as fast as when I use my day lotion from the same rose range because it is a lot thicker and creamier. When I get up the next morning my skin does not look greasy but it always looks like it has been moisturised effectively. I think my skin looks younger and brighter than before I started to use this cream, it does not help with uneven skin tone but I would not expect for that to happen.
My skin looks smooth and feels very soft after 3 weeks of use and I am happy for that because it is a very nice night cream to use but I would not keep using it if the cream was not effective. I like how moisturised my skin feels after I have used it and even a dry area of skin on my forehead looks a lot better now since I have started to use this night cream. I think the fragrance is very relaxing also and it is nice to go to sleep knowing that my skin smells nice.
A 30ml tube of Weleda Wild Rose Night Cream costs about £10 and that is value because it is a very nice product to use.
4 Dooyoo Stars.
Weleda Wild Rose Night Cream is one of my favourite products and something I have used for a long time. I think more and more people are choosing to use natural cosmetics and fragrances, and this product in particular has lovely attributes and a reasonable price tag, making it an affordable purchase.
Weleda has a long history dating back to 1921 and the company specialises in producing ethical products, many of which have a place in my home.
The Wild Rose Night Cream retails for £13.50 for 30 ml, and is sold in many heath food stores, online and from Weleda themselves. Boots now stock it online for the superb price of £9.95 and to be honest there is no need to pay the recommended price as there are cheaper bargains everywhere online for this product. The cream is presented in a rose coloured tube, which has an outer cardboard box, and the small size of the product makes it perfect for travelling, as it is well within the margin for liquids allowed in cabin baggage.
This cream is really an intensive moisturising treatment, and it contains musk rose and evening primrose oils, which have softening and repairing qualities. There is peach kernel oil, almond oil, and olive oil all combining together to create a moisture retentive product.
I think it has a thick and creamy consistency, and a superb floral fragrance, which is probably more than anything the main reason it has found a place on my bedside table. There are so many night creams on the market now in the paraben free range, and more and more of these are in the affordable price bracket. Many, however, lack that special something in either their fragrance or moisturising qualities, but this product does have both in abundance.
Where I feel this product lacks though is in the packaging, as I would prefer to see this also available in a screw top jar, as there is something rather basic about the fact that it is dispensed from a tube. Yes it makes it an ideal format for travelling, but somehow it lacks that feminine aspect which is so important on a dressing table situation - my view anyway. For this reason it has become more of a travelling companion than an everyday staple for me, but this is purely because there is no glass jar, and not for reasons pertaining to the product itself which is superb.
The cream is white and is easily absorbed and has a slightly greasy finish, which disappears through the night leaving skin soft and moisturised. It claims to prevent the first signs of ageing, so for me maybe this has come too late, but the cream is certainly aimed at the market who seek to push back time, rather than for the teenage oily skin group. One handy tip Weleda offer is to use a warm face cloth for a few minutes after application, as this will enhance absorption and moisturising qualities.
I think the product has a fragrance which lingers through the night, and in the morning the great thing is that my skin always feels really moisturised and soft.
The cream is part of a range of wild rose products designed for the face. These include, cleaning lotion and toner, day cream, and there is also a facial oil and masque.
When taken travelling this handy little product is absolutely fantastic as it can also be used as a hand cream. When I went rough camping on the Scottish island of Tiree a couple of years ago, this cream was my best friend. I had to travel light, and only took my really pruned down make-up bag and cleansing items, and this product earned its place by doubling up as a moisturiser for hands, as well as a night time treatment for my face.
As the cream is so thick you really do not need to use very much at all, and a little lasts ages. For this reason I think it is very good value for money.
Weleda actually grow all their own flowers and herbs used in their products, so you are really buying a fantastic product which is quality controlled from germination right through to sale.
This is an ideal product especially for travel and the rose scent is divine. For the price it is difficult to find a competitor which delivers such outstanding results, but there are some which I also use that match up, but maybe don't have that portable attribute that this cream has.

Thailand holiday adventure
by Judith Geppert
August started off in much the same way as any other month in 2005. But with the exception, this month I was booked to give a talk at a Travel Expo for people with disabilities. Here I was to give a thirty-minute rundown on my many sporting activities and how I manage traveling in my wheelchair within Australia and overseas.
After the talk I was approached by an employee from Thai Tourism, who handed me a brochure on Thailand and told me to email Tom, an Englishman who operates a tour company in Thailand called 'Adventure Holidays Thailand'. Two days later I did and this is when my life changed.
Tom along with his wife Malee, who suffers from Multiple Sclerosis (MS) have lived in Thailand for many years and traveled extensively throughout Thailand surveying locations for their suitability as destinations for the disabled traveler. Tom has made it company policy to employ as many people with disabilities as possible; firmly believing in giving everyone an equal opportunity at success regardless of their disability.
After several emails and a phone call, I knew this tour company was for me. It also has the same belief as I do - Nothing Is Impossible.
So, I went ahead and booked an eighteen-day tour which included, three meals a day, 4 - 5 star hotels/resorts accommodation, an English speaking guide and a wheelchair accessible van with a driver.
Let me say that footpaths and buildings in Thailand are not wheelchair accessible and most of the time I had to drive on the roads, which was very scary but I did get use to it. The weather temperature was between 35 - 42 degrees each day I was there.
Below is a short list of just a few activities I took part in:
Thailand itinery
I left Sydney on October 28th for Bangkok.
Wat Phrae Kaew Grand Palace
In Bangkok I visited the Wat Phrae Kaew Grand Palace, Wat Pho and the Emerald Buddha. This enclosure housing the huge ornate temples is where the Thai royalty worshiped. The Emerald Buddha, taken by the Thais from Laos is housed here and there are also several museums here as well. I had to be carried into the inner sanctum to view the 'Emerald Buddha', just 40cm high the buddha has been hand carved out of one solid piece of jade. It has a set of clothes made out of gold cloth, representing each season. (These are changed periodically).
Chao Phraya River cruise
Evening dinner was a buffet dinner river cruise, on board the 'Horizon Cruise II'. This cruise was up the Chao Phraya River where I saw Bangkok by night. We passed many historic buildings and monuments including the Grand Palace and the Temple of Dawn. I boarded the cruise by driving my electric wheelchair up and down a ramp, which was placed very tentively over the steps, enabling me to negotiate them (thought I would end up in the Chao Phraya River).
Visited the Chatuchak Weekend Market.
This Market is pretty much the undisputed king of markets. The scale of it is pretty unbelievable - it covers an area of 70 rai (35 acres), contains more than 15,000 shops and stalls, and has over 200,000 visitors each day. The range of products on sale is extensive, and includes household accessories, handicrafts, religious artifacts, art, antiques, live animals (which unfortunately are frequently caged in cruel conditions), books, music, clothes, food, plants and flowers etc … It is an extremely disorientating place with many narrow alleys and trying to drive a wheelchair, to get around can prove very frustrating. But I did manage to get around and spent about four hours shopping.
Tuk Tuk
From the market I took a 'Tuk-Tuk' - motorised rickshaw, back to the hotel. The 'Tuk-Tuk' is so named because of the sound of their engine and are popular for their novelty value. They are occasionally faster than taxis in heavy traffic as they can weave in and out. 'Tuk-Tuk' drivers, like taxi drivers mostly come from the rural northeast of Thailand and don't have to undergo any training (some will not even have passed a driving test). The 'Tuk-Tuk' I was in ended up at the wrong hotel. Never-the-less I had great fun!
Museum of Imagery
On the way to Kanchanaburi 150 kilometres west of Bangkok, I visited the Museum of Imagery. This is the equivalent to Madame Tussaud's. These breath-taking human figures with various characteristics and replicas of important people are displayed in many sections such as The Great Buddhist Monks, Former Kings of the Chakri Dynasty, and One Side of Thai Life.
Tiger Temple at Wat Pha Luang Ta Bua
The Tiger Temple is located about 40 kilometres from Kanchanaburi. The Tiger Temple is a rescue centre for wild animals and the home of wild tigers, wild pigs, deer, antelopes, water buffalos, apes and a hand full other animals. The tigers are taken out from their cage from 2.00 pm to 4.00 pm and visitors can touch them. The monks have a few tips for when you are in close proximity with the tigers; Do not make loud noises, do not wear bright colors or perfume and most importantly, never turn your back on a tiger! Here I was carried out to and sat on a rock, by tiger volunteers, then I was able to pat two wild tigers. This was an amazing experience.
River Kwai
At the River Kwai Railway, I went for a two-hour train ride on the 'Death Railway' from Kanchanaburi to Wang Po Station. The train left Kanchanaburi Station chugged over the bridge on the River Kwai en route to Namtok Station. This is the last existing train station of the Thailand-Burma railway in Thailand. Crossing over the world's longest wooden span bridge it snakes through scenic and thrilling natural terrain. Hugging the mountainside at a dizzy height over a river far below. It creped over the World War II rail line laid on creaking wood-trestles. This route from Kanchanaburi to Namtok, along rickety cliffside trellises, gave me an eerie feeling for this railway line where so many POW's lost their lives.
Kaweenchai Elephant Camp
At Namtok Station I was loaded back into the van, went for lunch and then visited the Kaweenchai Elephant Camp. Here I went for an exciting Bamboo Raft ride where the boatman paddled and steered the raft on a thirty-minute journey through lush tropical vegetation and, quite appropriately, large stands of elephant grass, passing by unspoiled mountainous jungle scenery. Then a short trip through an Elephant Village in the back of a truck, and then I was transferred to an elephant for a thirty-minute trek. These elephants are raised by the Karen Hill Tribes for working purposes. When not working, they are available to tourists to ride. The elephant trek went through a village where I saw children playing, women cooking food and men working in the garden.
Namtok Erawan Waterfall
I trekked up and into the forest at Namtok Erawan Waterfall. The Erawan stream is about 2,000 meters from top to the bottom. It is about 65 km from Kanchanaburi, this 550-square-kilometre National Park is the site of the seven-tiered waterfall, widely regarded as one of Thailand's loveliest cascades. A mountainside forest setting includes dense bamboo groves which support numerous bird species. Here I drove as far as I could in my wheelchair, and then Noi, the driver, carried me up and into the forest. After a one kilometre rough trek we finally reached the waterfall. He then carried me out into the cool clear crystal waters, put my life jacket on and then set me free. Here I floated around in the waterfall and could not believe, where I was and what I was doing - it was an unbelievable experience. After two-hours, Noi carried me back down to where I had left my wheelchair.
Thai Long-Tailed Speedboat trip
At sunset I went for a Thai Long-Tailed Speedboat trip up the River Kwai, to where the Mae Klong River, Kwai Noi River and Hanoi River meet. Along the way I saw the Floating Restaurants setting up for the evening and the Kanchanaburi War Cemetery.
Chiang Mai
Back to Bangkok and an international flight to Chiang Mai. My host in Chiang Mai was Claudio Vezzaro, Claudio is a lay missionary from Somma Lombardo (province of Varese, Italy) he has lived in Thailand for many years and currently runs an Italian restaurant named 'I'L Forno Slow Food Restaurant', which gives employment to people with disabilities in Chiang Mai. The kitchen is fitted out with wheelchair height ovens and fridges. He has also built wheelchair accommodation at the rear of the restaurant for his staff and visitors.
Mae Ta Man Elephant Camp
At the Mae Ta Man Elephant Camp, 52 km to the north of Chiang Mai, I took an Oxcart Ride up into the hills and visited a local hill tribe village. Then perched high in a wooden howdah, I returned to the elephant camp through another village. I had an impressive view of the forest and an unforgettable experience. Here I saw many elephants living as they have for centuries with their handlers, or "Mahouts".
Mae Rim Monkey School
Here I watched monkeys performing tricks, playing basketball, riding tricycles, counting exercises and a demonstration of how monkeys climb trees and retrieve coconuts.
Mae Sai Snake Farm
This farm not only displays snakes from all over Thailand, but also regularly carries out in depth studies and research concerning snake breeding. Here I watched a Snake Show including a demonstration of how snake venom is extracted from a snake. At the end of the show, I kissed a cobra and had a python placed around my neck.
Mae Sai Bai Orchid and Butterfly Farm
Here there was a large variety of beautiful butterflies raised in a spacious garden and here I sat among them. I also saw many varieties of colorful orchids.
Chiang Mai Zoo
Situated on 531 Rai of verdant forest land at the foothill of Doi Suthep Mountain. I saw the giant pandas, the pair comprises a three year old 160 kilogram male called "Chuang Chuang" and a petite two year old female named "Lin Hui". A contest was held to come up with Thai names for the pandas, with the winning entries being "Tewan" and "Tewee".
San Khampaeng Hot Springs
The San Khampaeng Hot Springs, in Doi Inthanon National Park, is on the outskirts of Chiang Mai. The water comes bubbling out of the ground at a temperature of 89°C. There are two geysers spouting a continuous flow of hot water into the air. A swimming pool is fed with the warm water from the geysers. Here I went for a swim and enjoyed the hot springs water with a cooling waterfall. After which I went for walk (one kilometre) to see the local markets and went shopping.
San Kampaeng Thai handicrafts
I visited San Kampaeng, which is the home of Thailand's Cottage Industry and saw how local handicrafts are made. I visited back street warehouses and had a look at how the local Thai people work.
Chiang Mai Night Bazaar
I went to the famous Chiang Mai Night Bazaar. Here I wandered along the crowded pavements, admiring the beautifully made handicrafts and seeking out bargains on more contemporary consumer goods is the best way to enjoy the market.
From Chiang Mai I then took an international flight back to Bangkok and a two hour drive to Pattaya.
"Walking Street"
This is Pattaya's main tourist street, and is pedestrianised at night and fairly quiet during the day. Most of the activity occurs here at night when the street is a sea of people and neon lights, touts and 'hello girls' from the many GoGo bars try to drag you off the street. There are now fifty GoGo bars alone in "Walking Street" Street vendors, souvenir stalls, tobacco sellers, food and lots of noise.
The 'Alangkarn Show'
This is located with an area of 80 rais. The entire project includes a prototype Hexa Stage Theatre, Cultural Rostrum and a Restaurant. Alangkarn is aiming towards a new concept of presenting the Thai Culture instead of the standard Thai traditional dancing that could easily be founded elsewhere. The unique features are the combination of multi-dimension technique presentation through the use of multi-colored laser show, real surrounds sound system and more. All Thai performances are professionally choreographed. There by making it a modern Thai Multi-Dimension Extravaganza Show called "ALANGKARN". The show comprises different acts, such as: Sun Moon and Planet, Naga stories of Thailand, Thai Buddhist Ceremonies, History of Thailand, Elephant Battle, Khon Mask Dance, Royal Barge Procession and many others. Trapeze artists falling out of the sky and lots of fireworks all professional orchestrated in a marvelous show of Thailand extravaganza.
Jet skiing
At Jomtien Beach, Pattaya, which is 14 kilometres long, I went jet skiing. I had awesome fun and didn't want to stop, it was something I always wanted to try and now I have. After this I had my hair done in braids on the beach, and lunch at a beachside restaurant.
Went to a traditional Thai dance show.
Go-Kart riding
Here I went for a ride in a double-seat kart 100cc four stroke engine on a 450 metre track. Then took my wheelchair out on the track and went for a burn. Had a load of fun!
Sriracha Tiger Zoo
30 minutes from Pattaya, here with natural atmosphere I watch the tigers in the Tiger Playground. Patted camels, deers, wallabies, rabbits, elephants, and ostriches. I had my photo taken with a tiger cub in my arms, cuddling baby alligators and patting a snake. Saw the "Happy Family" tiger, dog and pig live together peacefully and tiger cub's nanny, here the tiger feeds baby pigs with her own milk. I watched a tiger show, crocodile wrestling, pigs racing and saw the "Scorpion Queen", a lady with hundred of poisonous scorpions attached to her clothes.
Pattaya Elephant Camp
This was a one-hour trek on the back of an elephant, in a traditional riding seat, through undeveloped bush, down a river and through the forest, surrounding the Elephant Village. At the end of the trek, we passed a local orchid farm and then onto a silkworm farm for a brief visit, before returning to the Elephant Village by four wheel drive Land Rover. Whilst on this trek I was filmed for promotional purposes and this DVD will be distributed world-wide.
November 15, flight home to Sydney
I cannot speak more highly and with great admiration of Tom, Uh, Noi, Claudio and Gary, because without their compassion, dedication and determination, my holiday was so much more than I could ever imagine.
Already I have booked to go back this year (2006), where I am hoping to travel down to the south of Thailand. There are still many more activities I would like to try.
So do you want to experience what I just have?
Do you want a true holiday with dedicated people in an unbelievable country?

WHAT struck me in watching the Golden Globes was that the results, while predictable, turned out to also be quite hopeful.
Beyond the glitter and glam, the winners represented cinema's true soul — that idealised one in which passion and art really do trump payoff when critical decisions are being made.
There are always the underfunded, indie exceptions; last year's major one was The Hurt Locker. But this year it's becoming the dominant trend as one Hollywood guild after another, one critic's group after another, announces their chosen ones. The traction is such that the passion projects are sure to define next week's Oscar nominations as well.
With the exception of Toy Story 3, which was both excellent and expensive at about $200 million, the Globes winners were all cases of great ambition, extraordinary craft and relatively little financial means. The kicker, and what gives hope for the future, is that the films have all paid off at the box office (studio execs, please take note).
The six films that took every one of the top categories (animation excepted) cost about $100 million combined to make. Let's begin with The Kids Are All Right. With a $4 million budget, this independently financed project about what binds a family took the comedy category and Annette Bening won lead actress in a comedy.
The Fighter had a $25 million budget and years of actor Mark Wahlberg's unflagging devotion, with Christian Bale and Melissa Leo snagging the supporting actor wins for their performances in this uplifting but edgy boxing saga. Black Swan, at $13 million and loosely tied to a conversation between a director and a star a decade ago about a shared love of ballet, brought a lead dramatic actress win for Natalie Portman.
The King's Speech, with $15 million to tell its story of how a friendship changed history, won Colin Firth a Globe for lead actor in a drama. The surprise of Barney's Ver-sion, a $3 million adaptation of Mordecai Richler's acerbic novel and largely backed by Canadian interests, brought a lead actor in a comedy win for Paul Giamatti.
And on the high end, a still-modest $40 million was spent on The Social Network to capture the beginnings of a cultural juggernaut. That film took home four wins, including best drama.
The message is a simple one: passion plus quality can pay. By making film personal again, the invention of an artistic vision rather than a pile of studio notes and marketing concerns, there is at least the chance the result will be distinctive, memorable, possibly even a classic. That sense of sacrifice to ensure quality ran like a current through the night's emotional acceptance speeches. Or as The Social Network screenwriter Aaron Sorkin put it, elite (as in smart) is not a dirty word.
I'm not advocating that we lose the popcorn thrillers, the blockbusters and the rest — life wouldn't be the same without them — but merely that we take serious note of the current crop of critical darlings, the ones whose praises everyone will be singing for the next few months. Their success would argue for a future that seeks out and supports more of the voices that sound different, that are often prickly and difficult, that resist easy compromise. Their success would attest to the idea that with great risk there can be great reward. A different, but perhaps better, bottom line.

Date of Stay: August, 2009
This place is a total dump. The lot is not maintained, the pool is above ground and old, the spa is empty with countless rings in it, the game room has 5 archaic games with one not working, the restrooms/showers are dark and dingy, the grounds have abandoned cars and 2x4's littering the campground. I'd expect to pay $20 for this place.
Date of Stay: August, 2009
Our family loves this place. It was clean, friendly, well equipped, well lit and maintained. Brand new washers/dryers, great game room, kids loves the pool, I loved the spa. All the hookups you need, lovely green environment! Would definitely visit again.

One thing you need to know that they don't tell you is if you have a low spot after repairing never put bodyfiller or glazing putty over the repair.
Always use a barrier coat first such as epoxy or 2K primer and apply the glaze over the primer.

On the road: Holden's mid-sized Malibu undergoes local testing before its 2012 Australian release.
8 June 2011
By MARTON PETTENDY
PHILLIP Island and Malibu are home to two of the world's best known surf beaches, but now there is another link.
The southeast Victorian hamlet's public roads – not its racetrack – have been used by GM Holden to help fine-tune its parent company's all-new mid-size sedan, which will be known as the Malibu when it goes on sale globally from next year.
Revealed at the Shanghai motor show in China in April and due on sale in Australia later than expected in late 2012, the Malibu is being calibrated at Holden's Lang Lang proving ground in Victoria.
The development work by Holden engineers, which also comprises country road evaluations at locations including nearby Phillip Island – where these two official images were shot – will help shape the vehicle that will go on sale as a Chevrolet in almost 100 countries.
Rather than developing chassis tune, as it has done with a number of previous GM models made in Korea for Australia, Holden has been enlisted as part of GM's global "workshare" strategy to calibrate the four-cylinder engine that will power the Malibu's front wheels.
Left: The Chevrolet Malibu.As part of the job, Holden said its Powertrain Engineering team would continue development work on the Malibu until 2012.
As we've reported, the Malibu will replace Holden's slow-selling Epica as GM's mainstream medium sedan offering in Australia and, while it will also be built alongside Chevrolet's next-generation Impala sedan in the US, Australia's version again will come from Korea.
Before it goes on sale here inside 18 months, however, GM will launch another mid-size model that is also based on the company's highly regarded global mid-size vehicle platform known as Epsilon II – the Opel Insignia.
As part of the Australian relaunch of GM's European brand in 2012, the Insignia – unlike the Malibu – is expected to be available here in sedan, hatch and wagon body styles, and will be priced higher to compete with more upmarket rivals like the VW Passat.
While its 2738mm wheelbase is virtually identical to the Insignia sedan's, the Malibu is almost 30mm longer at 4859mm, making it far bigger than key rivals such as the Toyota Camry (4815mm) and Mazda6 (4735mm) – and closer in size to the 4897mm Commodore than the 4597mm Cruze.
No local specifications have yet been confirmed, but most likely for Australia is GM's new direct-injection 2.5-litre four-cylinder Ecotec petrol engine, which delivers about 141kW and 245Nm and will be matched with a new Hydra-Matic 6T40 six-speed automatic.
There is no sign yet of a diesel version of the Malibu, which borrows styling cues from Chevrolet's Corvette and Holden-designed Camaro coupes, but the recently upgraded Captiva SUV's new 2.2-litre turbo-diesel four is almost certain to become available.
GM claims its new global mid-sizer will offer best-in-class aerodynamics, new safety features including up to 10 airbags, a rear-view camera and lane departure/forward collision warning system, plus an electronic "active shutter" system reduce fuel consumption and wind noise on selected US models.
Also helping to make the Malibu competitive with new mainstream medium sedan entrants like this year's Toyota Camry and the 2013 Mazda6 will be a new dual-cockpit interior that is said to be larger, quieter and, thanks to soft-touch surfaces and ice-blue centre stack ambient lighting, more 'premium' than the Malibu it replaces in the US.

John William Webster was a noted builder/developer in and around Barnsley, Yorkshire. An example of his work is that he is credited as being the main builder of small town Cudworth in Yorkshire.
John William was one of 7 sons of Robert and Mary Anne (nee Glassell) - all but one (who died in childhood) of whom were involved in the building trade at one time or another. John William settled around Wakefield, latterly Barnsley, whilst his brothers spread their trade to other parts of the UK and United States.
The brother's father Robert was born in a small village, Oxwick, in Norfolk where he and his brothers and ancestors had worked as builders for several generations before being caught up in the Industrial Revolution and leaving Norfolk to seek their fortunes elsewhere.
Coming from a small village inevitably led to marriage to other families in the immediate area and we have traced the offspring of well over a thousand linked profiles from family names such as Collison, Parker, Quant etc some going back as far as 1450.
With such a good base, we hope to attract members of this project to add to the links we have already made.

Stop The Violence Basketball Tournament Finishes Off In Style
The fourth Annual Stop the Violence Basketball Tournament at NYCHAHammel Community Center finished with a bang last Saturday afternoon. Playing in front of 200 fans (most of them from Brooklyn), Team $how & Prove (14 & Under), The NYC Panthers (12 & Under), Team Hammel (10 & Under) were crowned this year's champions.
The day kicked off to a great start with Team $how & Prove beating the Da B.K. Ballers to win their second straight championship in a row. Game two saw the NYC Panthers finish their season with a perfect 12-0 record by defeating the Da B.K. Ballers for their first-ever championship trophy.
Game three saw the Cinderella team of the tournament, Team Hammel defeat last year's champion, Da B.K. Ballers.
Coach Curtis Williams, with tears in eyes, said, "I never witness a group of children work so hard, they never gave up on their selves."
After each game, the teams received their trophies; also several players received special recognition trophies for their excellent school work; and sportsmanship. The day finished with the tournament founder and former center director, Curtis Williams, receiving a touching farewell from the Da B.K. Ballers and their parents.
After spending two years at Beach 41 Street Community Center and 13 years at Hammel Community Center, Williams has moved on to take a promotion. But don't worry. Williams says he has promised to come back for the fifth Annual Stop the Violence Basketball Tournament in September of 2008.

17-year-old Chelsey Ramer is a Poarch Creek Band of Indians member who wore an eagle feather in her graduation cap during her graduation ceremony at Escambia Academy High School, a private school in Atmore, Alabama last month. Feathers, and eagle feathers in particular, hold a special significance for many Natives (which is federally recognized), and are sometimes used to commemorate special events--graduations included.
Yet Ramer was fined $1,000, prevented from accessing her high school transcripts, and was deprived of the diploma she earned for wearing the eagle feather because of a bizarre and racist contract (which Ramer did not sign) that outlined that feathers are not allowed to be worn during graduation. Three other Native students were so fearful of the school's exclusionary policy that they declined to wear an eagle feather.
An online petition called "Chelsey Ramer can't graduate because she is proud to be Native American" was created in response to the incident, and raised more than enough money to cover the $1,000 fine--but it turns out it Ramer won't be fined at all. ICTMN reports that the school has reversed its decision, and Ramer has now received her diploma.

Occasional Substitute
Could anyone help me here? My son is 10 and he is very likely going to be signing pro youth for an spl side soon. I however have my doubts about the whole system. He had previously been with Celtics academy at barrowfield, but was dropped without them even having the courtesy to tell us. It's my understanding that this kind of behaviour is quite common.
However my current concern is that my boy, who's a goalie, is not their first choice keeper (this was made clear to us tonight), and as such he would spend next season as second choice, never playing, and then being dumped at the end of the season. Obviously I don't want that for him. I am of course assuming that pro youth teams only have one team. Am I right about this?

Heard some similar stories about the Hoops youngsters. My Son has recently been picked up by QPFC, but is only 8, so PY is a we bit away.
The weans need to play mate, let the Wee Man make the choice.
Good luck.

|i would contact the sfa at hampden..im sure that professional teams only have one team each at a certain age group..have you actually had a conversation with the team who have offered to sign your son? if it was my son i would get as much information from the sfa as i possibly could regarding scottish teams and their development of very young players..im sure you will come to the correct decision in the best interests of your wee boy

Hail Hail
Players come and go with the pro youth teams till about under 13's level. Pro youth teams have many teams in different areas, IE Aberdeen, Dundee. Edinburgh and Glasgow.

Getting on a bit
pro youth teams have only one team at each age level,on the plus side the coaching and facilities on offer to the kids is far better than they would receive outside of the pro youth set up,on the down side it can be quite ruthless on the kids who don't show the required development and there is no league as such only games to improve player development.
hard decision for you and your son , hope yous make the right one for him and the best of luck to the wee man.

Exile in England
Youth football has been around forever but only in recent years has serious money been ploughed in to nurturing kids from a very early age. My lad turned 11 today and I have always been torn between him playing for a Pro club or letting him continue to develop with his mates in a carefree environment.
My lad was picked up by Man utd at the age of 4 but was released at 8 when the lads have to sign their first contract (registration) with the club and FA. After being released by United he was picked up by Preston North End but sadly for him was released again only last week - this is where it is hard as he is gutted. However, the thing about these clubs though is the training, regime, discipline, fitness and coaching - it is all fantastic and a wonderful experience for a young lad and, if this is the route you are happy for him to follow then he will also be in the system.....scouts already know about him, other clubs remember and names are passed about so another club might be calling. If you are not in the system you might, just might miss out in years to come.
But, as the old saying if you are good enough, you'll make it. The important thing is your lad is happy wherever he plays and it is not a chore to attend training miles away 3 times a week then play on a Sunday. At the end of the day the game is the teacher and thats where he will learn but good quality coaching free of charge is the carrot.
Could he not play for his pro club and local club.....some pro clubs allow this

The point is he will develop and learn my nephew was in the same position with celtic and had gave up a chance to go to arsenal cos he wanted to be with the hoops it didn't work out due to the fact that they had a midget goalie who for some reason was never dropped
He left them after months of standing twiddling his thumbs on the sidelines ,another spl coach told him that once celtic let you go no other club tends to come in for you he went on to enjoy his football elsewhere but said he enjoyed the experience of it all and wouldn't swap it for the world

The 'Real Lord of the Dance'
Picked up at 4 , signing registration? Released at 8? Ridiculous. All for proper coaching but it should be association led, with clubs picking up players at 13 or so. Let the kids enjoy football.

Enjoying his jelly and ice cream
|At the stage your son is at it is vital that he is playing games. If he signs pro youth then the SPL clubs, plus quite a few clubs from lower leagues, will insist that he cannot play any other football for school or boys club. If you can get them to allow your boy to play other football away from the pro youth stuff yet still receive the training from the pro club this would be the ideal situation. Ultimately it's about what's best for your son so if he enjoys playing school/boys club football then let him continue to do that, if he's good enough then other clubs will come in for him. No point in him signing and then not playing.
|27 Apr 2012, 10:13 AM Post #10
the thunder came back
Coached kids from 13 through to 18. Over the years, lots of the lads were cherry picked by senior clubs and had their heads turned, they thought they had "made it ". When they were inevitably dumped, they were destroyed.
10 years of age is way too young to be 2nd choice. Its not as if he can get trial games in different positions to see where he can develope.
Avoid. Let the lad play with local boys club where he can learn by playing.

First name on the team-sheet
some good points raised here!
The pro youth set up is far superior to any of the boys club set up's. I played PY with St Mirren for 2 years when I was 15- 17. The most positive aspect for me was that I was no longer having to deal with ''aw the Easterhoooos or Arden at the side of the park'!! The thing I found most difficult to comprehend was the lack of games in a SPYFA season. With my boys club we would play at least once, maybe twice a week but with St Mirren it was more like twice a month and there were almost no competitive games. The coaches said this was to take away pressure and allow us to develop but it was in fact counter productive.
If yer wee fella is good enough he will get his game time. Especially at that age group I think coaches are often willing to give two goalies a run out in games. Dundee United have one of the best reputations in the country, out with the SPL Livingston, Stenhousemuir and Ross County are all operating great systems to let little ones develop. The lad doesn't need to play with an SPL club at that age as long as he gets game time it will help his development but I would suggest that once you are part of the SPYFA network it would be beneficial to stay involved and get noticed.

First-team starter
Contact clubs you think he could realistically get a game for and explain he has been scouted by the other team but you dont think he will develop as a 2nd choice.
Celtic scouted me when I was wee but explained to my folks Id pretty much be there just to see how I did, and if I developed I might then get a regular game, my dad spoke to some other clubs, said Id been watched by other teams but wanted me to be at a better level than a standard boys club but still get to play.
Ended up with a short time at St Mirren then Motherwell, effed my knee and discovered 5 a sides. Kind of wish Id just went to train with Celtic just to get a few games in the hoops. TBF at the time I was probably better than Brattbakk.

The longer you are involved in the pY setup the more likely you are to be replaced......clubs continually look for better.
At your son's age it would be of much greater benefit to him to play regularly, plenty of very decent high level BC teams about and also a few excellent goalkeeping schools where he can attain specialist coaching.
I'd never accept playing second fiddle and little game time for a season. At 10 he has plenty of time to prove he is good enough to make the grade.

The Wee man has been asked to sign PY this June, although the form remains inactive until his 10th B/day. I've asked to see the contract prior to signing. What are the pitfalls?
|23 May 2013, 01:10 PM Post #17
Can I have 12 bottles of bleach please?
I've reffed a few games involving pro youth teams. It does seem as if the pressure is off- the coaches, in general, seem to deliver well-considered advice during the game and not the traditional 'out!' and 'get intae him!'
To back up other posters though I do know of some boys who were a bit switched off by the experience. If you are good enough to be a pro youth player then you will undoubtedly have an appetite for playing games; of which there are not enough, at pro youth, in my opinion.

smoother than moves by Villanova
The forms are of questionable legality when the kids are that age, I don't think they are actually binding in any legal sense.
The real pitfall of playing pro youth is that they won't let you play or train with your boys club and can therefore potentially limit the amount of football your boy gets to play. My advice, though, is go for it.
People talking about pro-youth clubs releasing players are correct, but it's wrong to think in terms of your boy playing for a specific team. The chances are they will move around when they're young, either through getting dropped or getting picked up. The most important thing, though- and this is why I'd recommend taking the chance to go to a pro-youth team- is that it's far easier to get another pro youth team if you're already at one or have just left one. If you're playing boys club you need to wait for someone to notice you, I've seen excellent players go under the radar for months, even years, at boys club level.
When I talk to pro youth scouts, if I say 'kid X has just been with Celtic/Rangers/St Mirren' their initial reaction is to think that he's probably got something and they're far more willing to give him a chance. I had almost that exact conversation yesterday in fact. So take the chance and go to the pro youth team, if you don't like it, it's far easier to get another team from that position.

Despite the reasonable(and clearly well informed) post from The Pin, I think you'd be mad to let him sign for a team when you've already been told he's not going to be first choice.
If he played outfield it might be different as he could get on as sub, get in when players are injured etc but not for a goalie.
He'd want to leave after a month of not playing.

Amanda Palmer may be the public face of Dresden Dolls, but drummer BRIAN VIGLIONE is no shrinking violet. He wraps up an Enormous Room residency — playing original modern jazz — with pianist Gil Aharon and bassist Andrew DiMola this Sunday. He just hosted two local drum clinics, and he has another one at JamSpot in Somerville on March 24. "The first lesson is how to hold your eyeliner pencil," he quips. Viglione also played on HUMANWINE's Fighting Naked, which was recorded in January at High-N-Dry and is slated for release later this month. Humanwine singer/guitarist Holly Brewer attended first grade with Viglione in Greenville, New Hampshire. He begins a three-week tour with her band on March 27 that circles back to the Paradise April 20. And in June he starts a three-week Dresden Dolls tour with Cyndi Lauper, Deborah Harry, and Erasure that stops at Bank of America Pavilion June 16.
In 1990, ELAINE O'ROURKE came to Boston from Ireland's County Wicklow "to make loads of money and travel the country." She did travel the country. Over time, she began to sing — first with Boston Rock Opera — and two and a half years ago, having moved to Gloucester, she began No Beginning, No End. "It kinda unfolded as we went along," she says of the CD, which has a melancholic Celtic folk flavor. The singer/guitarist plays a free gig at Toad March 21 at 7 pm with violinist Jim Lounsbury and guest saxophonist Henley Douglas Jr. . . . GUSTER have teamed up with the environmental action group Reverb to launch the second Campus Consciousness Tour, which comes to the Opera House April 20 and 21.

It's been five years since the release of AC/DC's fourteenth studio album, Black Ice. A long gap that somehow seemed even more bleak after the April 2014 announcement that guitarist and founding member, Malcolm Young, would be taking a break from the band due to health issues. Rumors frantically flew throughout the metal music world that this was the end of AC/DC, despite the fact that in addition to the sad news about Young's health, the final line in the statement was: "The band will continue to make music."
After a whopping four decades in existence, AC/DC has endured devastating losses and an ever changing musical climate, but prevailed. No band is as instantly recognizable, both in sound and sight, as the ironical AC/DC. Each of their hits, from day one into the current time and age, aren't just well-loved, chart-toppers - they're each heavy metal anthems. One does not put on AC/DC to relax - one puts on AC/DC to feel alive, to pump their fists, to drive fast - and simply, to rock. "Highway To Hell," "You Shook Me All Night Long," "Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap," "For Those About to Rock (We Salute You)," "Thunderstruck" - the list of monumentally important, signature-sounding, AC/DC classics goes on and on. It should surprise no one that the band has sold more than 200 million records worldwide making them one of the world's best-selling bands of all time, and it's only natural that fans would be concerned that with Malcolm Young's questionable future with the band, that this was the end of AC/DC.
But the wailing guitars and the pounding drums of AC/DC will indeed live on. In June of this year, vocalist Brian Johnson announced that AC/DC are very likely to be rocking that Highway To Hell again, touring by the end of 2014. And now, Johnson has reported that the next AC/DC album has been completed. Though he expressed that the band missed having Malcolm Young with them in the studio, they are pulling for improved heath of their brother, friend, and guitarist.
The forthcoming album, whose name has yet to be announced (and possibly even decided), is expected out by either the end of 2014 or early in 2015. Johnson expressed that his choice in album titles was "Man Down" but felt it was possibly too negative. Surely, fans might object to this name, taking into consideration the sensitivity of Malcolm Young's situation.
For the length of Young's absence from this prodigious band, fans all over the world will miss him as well, but can't help but look forward to a fifteenth studio album bursting with new AC/DC music, and the possibility to see them live in concert once again. As magical and mysterious as the music world can be, it is not immune from life's unfortunate and disruptive twists and turns, but brand new AC/DC material and a new tour can make up for some of it.
Keep eyes peeled to AC/DC's official website and Facebook pages for news all Malcolm Young's well-being, as well as the new album and tour.

text: Hello. I looked in my 1945 ABC & XYZ and The Hive and the Honey Bee and I can find black locust which is what I wanted to plant, but the grower isn't offering them this year. The grower is only showing honey locust, which I can't find mention of in the above books. So I was wondering, is honey locust a good nectar source? I am clearing around 5 acres of brushy woods ground and I know the blackberries and raspberries that will come in will provide nectar but I would like to plant trees that provide nectar. Thank you.
