From Newark, NJ, take Interstate 95 north to Connecticut Highway 8. Then hop on Connecticut Highway 15 north. About 50 miles east of the New York-Connecticut border, you'll hit Exit 61 for Whitney Avenue, downtown Hamden. Hang a right on Whitney and head up the road about a mile. Keep a look out on your left. Eventually you'll stumble upon Rainbow Cleaners, an unassuming, decades-old business owned by Hamden High School hockey coach Bill Verneris, a former star forward at nearby Quinnipiac University. Los Angeles Kings goalie Jonathan Quick grew up around the corner and used to work there. "I worked there for a bit; (Verneris) let me get away with a lot," Quick said. "I was employed there; I didn't really do too much work." Now, 10 years after leaving Hamden, his family, his friends and Rainbow Cleaners behind, Quick is back on the East Coast, playing for a Stanley Cup in a crease opposite New Jersey Devils legend Martin Brodeur, perhaps the greatest goaltender in NHL history. And back at the cleaners where he once worked-but-didn't, Quick's name is on the marquee: "Good Luck Jon Quick LA Kings." A "local boy done good," as Hamden mayor Scott Jackson calls him, Quick is the best hockey player this hockey town six miles north of New Haven has ever seen, and a championship would mean the world to a community that is all too eager to claim the next great American goaltender -- or, perhaps, the next great goaltender, period -- as its own. Eighty miles away at the Prudential Center in Newark, Quick got off to a good start, having made 17 saves Wednesday in the Kings' 2-1 overtime victory that gave them a 1-0 series lead. "It's unbelievable," said Harry Richetelle, an 82-year-old former firefighter and lifelong resident of Hamden. "To come from this little town in the little state of Connecticut, that's pretty good. It's a real honor to have someone from here do what he's done." Quick's hockey career truly started in earnest at Hamden High School, at the south end of town, closer to Exit 60 off CT-15. It was here that Quick, a sophomore in 2001, made an indelible impression on the new Dragons head coach Verneris, who was forced to make one of the toughest calls of his 25-year coaching career. See, Verneris already had a talented, experienced goalie in net, senior Chris Groleau, a Hartford Courant all-state honorable mention selection as a junior, and Groleau had lost his father over the summer to a heart attack. But Verneris also had this relative unknown named Quick, and there was something about that 15-year-old "rascal," as the coach calls him, that he couldn't quite shake. Verneris knew talent, and Quick had it, so he made the impossibly difficult and unsentimental call. "I just remember when I announced the starting goalie and he was sitting here and Groleau was sitting there, and I said, 'Quicky, you're in the net,' and I just remember the enthusiasm -- a young kid who goes, 'Yes!' -- I just remember that," Verneris said. "And I remember while I saw the excitement, on the other end, I saw a kid put his head down. "There's a kid, my first year coaching, his senior year, representing this town, which is what you live for. He's got D-A-D on the back of his mask, and Johnny beat him out. All at once I captured both sides of emotion." Tough as that day was, handing the job to Quick turned out to be the right choice. Quick developed his skills faster than expected over the course of the season, seasoning the butterfly style for which he's now known. He dominated in the crease during games and took shot after relentless shot from assistant coach Todd Hall, a Hamden grad, former New York Rangers draft pick and one-time Calder Cup winner with the AHL's Hartford Wolfpack. Quick left Hamden the following year to go play at Avon Old Farms, a prestigious prep school about 35 miles to the north, but in one year at Hamden, he took on the blue-collar personality that embodies this entire town, leaving a deep-rooted impact on a community that still lights up at the sound of his name. "That's why Hamden hockey is Hamden hockey," Verneris said. "We've got more state titles than any school in the state. The history of our town goes back to 1930; New England champions in the '50s; state champions all through the '60s, the '70s. "This is what we live for. The foundation for loving hockey comes from living in this town. It's that passion, that love the kids have for the game, and Johnny is representative of what Hamden hockey is." Quick sat down at podium No. 7 in the Prudential Center main concourse shortly after 2 p.m. Tuesday and immediately asked how long his media session would be expected to last. "Until about 2:25," an NHL handler told him, to which he wryly replied, "That's a lot of questions." Slinked down in his chair, his black Kings hat pulled down to his eyebrows and the hood of his sweater pulled over his head, Quick didn't have the look of a guy who wanted to be there, and maybe that comes with good reason. "I don't, to be honest, really enjoy this," Quick said. "When I think of the Finals, I don't think of being here in front of you guys. I think of going to play a hockey game at the highest level, and that's all." The experience wasn't nerve-wracking, and his demeanor wasn't unpleasant, as he occasionally cracked a smile from behind the reddish playoff beard that, while full, almost looks scraggly up against some of his more hirsute teammates. Quick just looked and sounded distracted. Safe to say, he had other things on his mind. "He's very, very focused right now," said his mother, Lisa Quick. "He is a quiet guy, but not quiet to the extreme that you saw. He's in a focused mode, and that's great. That's how it should be." And that's how he's always been. "This whole entire family is competitive," she continued, referring to Jon; his father, Doug; his two brothers, Justin (29) and Joey (18); and his 20-year-old sister, Jessica. "Whether it's playing board games in the kitchen at night, or playing Wiffle ball outside or playing street hockey. Everything he plays, he plays competitive; he plays to win." Verneris saw plenty of that fire while Quick was at Hamden, especially when he took shots from the former pro Hall, though at the time, Quick's energy wasn't quite as dialed-in as it is now. "Whether it was practice, or wherever, Johnny didn't want you to score; he had an insatiable competitiveness that he didn't like it when people scored on him," Verneris said. "It was kind of fun, because during practice we'd have a lot of showdowns, and at the end of the showdowns, Todd would jump in. "Usually, it was Todd against Jon. The whole team lines up, 10 kids on each side, and here comes Todd, and Johnny loved that. He loved that, and if Todd scored, oh, he'd get pissed, and if he stopped Todd, he'd go nuts." Lisa and Doug Quick always knew their son had the talent to become a hockey star, but then again, what parent doesn't? "Of course, everybody thinks their kid is something special on the ice," Lisa Quick said. "Growing up, everyone thought they had the next NHL player, but he was always very dedicated, he always had a very natural athletic ability, and we knew it was going to take him somewhere at some point." The first place it took Quick was Avon, where he played his junior and senior seasons under legendary coach John Gardner, who just this past winter completed his 37th year at the head of the hockey program and has 632 career wins. But at the time, the choice to leave home was anything but easy for Quick, a 16-year-old unsure what his future held for him. "He made the decision on his own; it was a very difficult decision for him," Lisa Quick said. "We didn't want to persuade him in one direction. The cards were laid out and he knew what he had in front of him as far as going to Avon, and the exposure. Obviously playing at a prep school level, you're being exposed to a lot more opportunities, but he was dedicated to Billy." Verneris, however, understood the benefits of Quick going to prep school -- perhaps better than Quick himself did -- and would hear nothing of having him stay in Hamden with so much opportunity, both athletically and academically, at his disposal elsewhere. "It's a hard decision to make, but you've got to do what's right for the kid," Verneris said. "If I have a player that's very skilled, I'd love to keep him. I'd love to add more state titles, but if a prep school comes up and says, 'We'll give you $50,000, we'll give you aid, we'll take care of your education,' I'll kick the kid out. I'll tell him, 'Look, you've got to go.' "There are high school coaches who hate prep school coaches because they steal their players, but they're not thinking the right way. They're being selfish, which is easy to do when you're trying to win." Once at Avon, Quick and Gardner did lots of winning. In fact, they rarely lost. In his two years at the school, Quick compiled a 45-3 record in net with 11 shutouts, amassing a 1.19 goals-against average over 48 appearances as he led the school to two straight New England prep school championships. It was between his junior and senior seasons when Quick made the biggest jump under Gardner, learning to harness that unbridled competitiveness and use it to make himself a better hockey player. "We had won the New England prep school championship, he was feeling pretty good about himself, but I called him in and I said, 'I know you had a pretty good year, but the rap on you is that you give up one bad goal, one soft goal, and then you really start playing,' and you could see that that really burned him," Gardner said. "So the next year we wound up winning the whole thing again. He had nine or 10 shutouts -- and they weren't rocking-chair shutouts, they were legitimate, great games. "So after the (championship) game, he came up to me, and said, 'Any bad goals today, coach?' and I said, 'No bad goals, Quicky. Good job.' But you could tell that that had really frosted his butt, and as a competitor, he wanted to eliminate that from his reputation." Eventually, the widespread exposure he received in Avon led to an opportunity for Quick to play for the University of Massachusetts, and after two years there he was drafted in the third round by the Kings, a path no one -- except maybe his parents -- saw coming. "You never can predict the future," Gardner said. "I thought he had a chance to be a good Division I college goalie, and depending on how he developed, I thought maybe he could play in the pros, but no one could have foreseen this. I would have never predicted it, but it's great." Now one of three goalies announced as finalists for the Vezina Trophy, along with the Rangers' Henrik Lundqvist and Nashville's Pekka Rinne, Quick, 26, is coming off a career year, with a 1.95 GAA and 10 shutouts in 69 regular-season games for the Kings. Once in the playoffs -- as a No. 8 seed, which LA secured on the heels of its goalie's outstanding play -- Quick emerged as the best in the West, holding the Nos. 1, 2 and 3 seeds in the conference to just 22 goals in 14 games, stopping 94.6 percent of shots as Los Angeles has blazed a trail to the Stanley Cup Final with a 12-2 postseason record before beating the Devils 2-1 in overtime in Game 1. "When he was going to play at UMass-Amherst, I said, 'You've got great potential, you've got everything going for you, and the only person who can stop you is you,' " Gardner recalled. "I knew him pretty well, and I knew I was right." For a state that's as hockey-crazed as it is, Connecticut has hardly been a hotbed for top-tier NHL talent. However, there have been a few to break through the glass ceiling. Former Rangers defenseman Brian Leetch of Cheshire, the next town over from Hamden, is a Hall of Famer, considered by some to be the best American to play the game. He's certainly the best Connecticut has ever seen, and his No. 2 hangs in the rafters at Madison Square Garden, where he won a Cup in 1994. Chris Drury played nearly 900 games with four NHL teams and won a Stanley Cup with Colorado, and Craig Janney had 751 points in 760 career games with seven different teams. Chris Clark and Ron Hainsey are both Connecticut natives -- Clark from South Windsor, Hainesy from Bolton -- and have played in at least 500 career games apiece, and Darien's Ryan Shannon won a Cup with the Ducks in 2007. But that's about where the roll call of Connecticut stars ends, and in Hamden, they've never seen a hometown kid find that kind of success -- at least not until now. "You had a slew of Division I kids (from Hamden) . . . and a slew of kids of who have gotten drafted and gone on, but nothing to this extent," Verneris said. "This is it -- this is our Brian Leetch." The impact that the success of a guy like Quick has on a town and a state is hard to quantify, but if you pay a visit, it's tough to miss. You can feel the excitement in the sticky, late-May air. You can count the Kings hats at the Memorial Day Parade as the antique fire trucks and little league baseball teams march down Dixwell Avenue. People in Hamden know Jon Quick, and it does the whole town well to see him excel. "This town is a hockey town, and to have a home-grown product from Hamden, it's just fantastic," said 60-year-old John Northrup, a Hamden resident for 25 years. "He did the juniors here, he did the midgets here, and to come through here and actually produce, I think it's great for the kids who are playing hockey now. It's like, 'Here's a guy -- he's one of us. You could be the next Jonathan Quick yourself.' " Indeed, Quick is a legend in the halls of Hamden High, and if you're not with him, you're against him. "I was a Rangers fan to start off, but they got knocked off, so naturally, with Jon Quick being from Hamden, I'm going for the Kings all the way," said 16-year-old Rob Martino, a lacrosse player at the school. "Anyone who's not a Devils fan is a Kings fan here." One doesn't even have to be a puckhead to hop on the bandwagon, though it's filling up fast. "Even the people who aren't hockey fans are rallying around Jon," said Jackson, the mayor. "Ernest Borgnine, Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson, Scott Burrell, they're all Hamden guys. We've had Nobel Prize winners and Pulitzer Prize winners . . . and now Jon." Jon. Johnny. Quicky. Jonathan. Everyone in Hamden seems to call Quick by a different name, but it doesn't much matter. They're all still talking about the same guy, and they're doing lots of it. "I've been following Hamden hockey since 1943, and I still go to the games," Richetelle said. "Everybody's talking now about Quick. All of us are like, 'Hey, what did you think of Jon last night? He shut them out,' this and that. It's a little thrill, because I can say I saw him play." Quick is aware of the hype, and he's true to his roots, to be sure. He still lives in Connecticut with his wife and daughter during the offseason, and if he wins the Cup, he'll be certain to celebrate with his family and friends in Hamden this summer. Right now, though, he's not exactly sentimental about playing in the Final so close to home, and for the next two weeks, he's simply out to win it for the Kings name on the front of his jersey. "You carry a weight for your teammates," Quick said. "That's the weight you really carry. That's who you're playing for. Obviously it would be nice to go back to Hamden with something to show everybody, but you play for your teammates." Back near Rainbow Cleaners, LA Kings banners line the houses on Tanglewood Street -- an odd sight, to be sure, in southwestern Connecticut -- but you won't find one hanging out in front of the Quick residence. "We're very superstitious," Lisa Quick said. "A couple of my neighbors wanted to give me a flag, but I said no way. I haven't had a flag up for the entire playoffs, so I'm not going to start now." The Cup will be busy if it makes its way back to Hamden. Mayor Jackson said he'd "absolutely" hold an event where the town will honor the accomplishment. It might also have to make a quick jaunt up to Avon for a visit and a beer with Gardner. Verneris would certainly like to take a picture with it at the same Rainbow Cleaners where Jon once worked. "This is a pipe dream," Verneris said. "This is hitting the lotto." If Jon can come up with three more wins, starting with Game 2 on Saturday, Doug Quick can finally shave off the playoff beard that has come to rival his son's, and then maybe Lisa can finally hang one of those Kings flags out front. Or better yet, maybe she'll just put the Cup out there instead. It can't possibly attract any more attention than Jon himself. "Everybody in the neighborhood will come up and greet him and sit down and talk with him," Lisa Quick said. "He's just a hometown celebrity. It's absolutely incredible. It's just unbelievable. I get the goose bumps just thinking about it." Follow Sam Gardner on Twitter: @sam_gardner

Compassion in the face of danger
A hero police officer who faced a gunman after two of his colleagues had been shot was among those honoured at Government House in Wellington today.
Sergeant Michael Wardle was presented with a New Zealand Bravery Decoration for an act of exceptional bravery in a situation of danger.
In 2010, then-constable Wardle attended what was supposed to be a routine search for cannabis at a Christchurch flat.
Instead, a man came out firing, wounding two other officers and fatally shooting police dog Gage.
As the gunman turned his rifle on Wardle, the police officer confronted him with a Taser, giving the others a chance to escape.
Speaking after the investiture ceremony, Wardle remained humble about his actions.
"It's really cool to be recognised - but obviously the flip side to that is something terrible had to happen for it," Wardle said.
"I think for myself, really now it's closure."
After "a lot of soul searching," he had come to accept he and his fellow officers had done the best job they could that day.
"We did a lot right, but unfortunately you can't get everything right, and you can't plan for these things."
Wardle is now based in Nelson, where he was promoted to sergeant, with his wife and three children.
Other heroes honoured at the ceremony TODAY were Mark Allen and Kenneth Reilly, who rescued a woman from a burning vehicle after a head-on car crash in North Canterbury in 2011.
Both were presented with New Zealand Bravery Medals.
Governor-General Sir Jerry Mateparae gave a special mention to the recipients of the bravery awards in his closing speech, and said they had demonstrated "one of the greatest of all human qualities - compassion".

Dr. Richard Lee will present: "The Myth of Hunter-Gatherer Ultra-Violence: A Critique of the 'Bellicose' School."
Abstract: The question of violence in early human society and in human nature has been an issue of philosophical importance since the days of Hobbes, Locke and Rousseau. Recently some social and biological scientists have sought to provide empirical support for the Hobbesian view of life in the "state of nature" as "the war of all against all." Hunter-gatherers, ancient and modern, form a crucial component of their arguments. This lecture examines the evidentiary bases of their theses, evaluating the ethnographic and archaeological research on hunting and gathering societies. Serious deficiencies are found in the arguments of the "bellicose school." The lecture attempts to reset the terms of the debate on firmer empirical and theoretical grounds.
Richard Borshay Lee (Ph.D. UC Berkeley) is a University Professor Emeritus of Anthropology at the University of Toronto. He has held academic appointments at Harvard, Rutgers, and Columbia Universities, and research positions at Australian National University and Kyoto University. His research interests include human rights and indigenous peoples, ecology and history, medical anthropology and AIDS, and the evolution of human behavior. He is internationally known for his studies starting in 1963, of hunting and gathering societies, particularly the Ju/'hoansi-!Kung San of Botswana and Namibia. His 1979 book The !Kung San: Men Women and Work in a Foraging Society was ranked among the top 100 works in science of the 20th century by American Scientist magazine. A Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada, and the U.S. National Academy of Sciences (Foreign Associate), he is past-president of the Canadian Anthropology Society and holds honorary Doctorates from the University of Alaska, Fairbanks, and Guelph University for his research and advocacy on behalf of indigenous peoples.

How to choose the right chicken coop? That was a question I asked myself when I first got word we were getting chickens. It was a sudden thing. The guy didn't want them anymore. So we didn't already have coop prepared. I went to many different websites looking for the answer to that very question. I hope that this blog post will help you pick one out more easily. Plus, I have made a great comparison chart too!
Picking out a chicken coop can be so confusing. There are so many styles, sizes and floor plans to choose from, but which one is perfect for you? There are many factors that come into play when choosing a coop.
Let's talk about the important things you need to think about when it comes to choosing the right chicken coop. Grab a pen and paper to write down your answers. If you need help, comment on this post, and I will try to answer you back as soon as possible!
- How many chickens do you have or expect to have?
- Chicken breeds – chicken breeds come in many different sizes and so do the coops. Some chickens are small and will need less space, but the bigger birds will need more space.
- How cold does it get in the winter?
- Will the chickens run free, or will you need a chicken run? To help you answer this question here are a few factors to think about. Check out the blog post I wrote about it. Should I Let My Chickens Free Range? Or you can check out this quick video.
- Is it easy to clean? Easy pull out trays under the roosts, are some of the options to choose from. Check out how to clean a chicken coop if you need to know how.
- Are you worried about predators? You will need a really secure coop, and you may even need to modify it to add more protection.
- What is your spending limit?
- Does it have easy access to the nesting boxes for egg collection?
- How much space do I have for a chicken coop? A lot or a little? See the measurements to make sure it will fit into your space.
- Are you expecting to accommodate other birds such as ducks, or quail?
I hope this helps you pick the right chicken coop! I know I could have used a post like this when I was looking. I looked at so many different companies, it was a lot of work sifting through all of the different types of coops. Good luck finding your dream coop!

Former EGAT engineer allegedly in possession of bomb components.
A 62-YEAR-OLD man has been arrested on suspicion of planting an explosive device at the Phramongkutklao Hospital on May 22 that left 25 people injured.
Authorities yesterday identified the suspect only as "Wattana", a former electrical engineer at the Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand (Egat).
The suspect was taken into military custody and interrogated at the 11th Military Circle command in Bangkok yesterday. He denied any involvement with the explosion at the military-run hospital, according to a source.
A search of the suspect's home in the Ram-Indra area of Bang Khen district allegedly yielded four improvised explosive devices in PVC pipes "ready to be used", according to another source in the investigative team.
The source said many integrated-circuit timers similar to ones used in the explosive devices that were set off in two previous incidents – outside the old Government Lottery Office building on Rajdamnoen Avenue on April 5, and in front of the National Theatre on May 15 – were found.
A wall clock with the image of former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra was also allegedly found in the suspect's house.
The search at the Bang Khen house involved more than 50 police and military officers, the Thai News Agency reported yesterday.
Searches also were conducted at 10 other locations in Bangkok and in surrounding provinces but no suspicious materials had been found, the police source said.
According to a source familiar with the investigation, Wattana was believed to be the man who took a fabric bag containing the explosive device concealed in a vase into the hospital's waiting room where the bomb exploded. He was in the room for about 10 minutes before leaving without the bag.
Security camera recordings at the hospital showed the person of interest as a thin, long-haired man about 160 to 165 centimetres tall.
The explosion at the hospital was the third to occur in Bangkok within two months. The homemade bomb planted at Phramongkutklao Hospital exploded and injured 25 people on the third anniversary of the 2014 military coup that brought down the elected government of Yingluck Shinawatra, Thaksin's younger sister.
After locating the suspect, investigators interviewed a woman close to him in Nonthaburi, who reportedly said that he did not like the military while having a strong political preference, according to the source in the investigative team.
The suspect was arrested on Wednesday evening while taking a bus home, the source said, adding that police were attempting to find out whether he had acted on his own or had been instructed by someone to plant the bomb.
He was charged with possessing explosive devices and materials used in the production of explosives. If there is sufficient evidence, police will also charge him with terrorism.
Deputy Prime Minister and Defence Minister Prawit Wongsuwan yesterday confirmed that authorities had arrested a suspect in connection with the Phramongkutklao Hospital explosion. However, he added that no connection had been established between the suspect and any group of dissidents in the military.
"The investigators are trying to find out if other people colluded with him in carrying out the attack," said Prawit, who is in charge of security affairs.
He claimed that the suspect had confessed to planting the bomb, although that was contradicted by what a police source said.
Meanwhile, deputy national police chief Pol General Srivara Ransitbharamanakul said yesterday that the investigation into the explosion at the hospital "is progressing satisfactorily".
He declined to confirm or disclose any details regarding the reported arrest of the suspect, saying that national police chief Pol General Chakthip Chaijinda would be the only one to talk publicly about the matter.

Chapter 3: Meet the Parents (Part II)
Communicating Expectations
As soon as you have your team together, you're going to want to have a talk with the parents to communicate your expectations for the team. Obviously, you're going to want a winning season, but know your situation and your talent. Convey to the parents what values you hold dear to your heart and how you plan to transfer them to the players. It is important to lay some ground rules at this time. Let them know your rules regarding playing time as it regards to practice participation. This is important as some players will try to perform double duty by participating in another sport near the end of your season. This can be particularly dangerous in football as one player not knowing his assignment can get another player injured. Of course, it can affect the team's overall performance and attitude.
One season, our team had a cornerback who was a pretty good athlete, but suddenly stopped coming to our Thursday practices. We were told he was sick, but he managed to show up to our games. We managed to make the playoffs that year, and again, this cornerback did not show up to our Thursday practice. Unfortunately, Thursday we
worked to refresh our defense on the plays the opponent was going to run against us. We were able to tell our players this because we had film on their plays throughout the season. One particular play they used only twice all year was a reverse that went right where our missing cornerback would play. We told the defense about this, but this player was not there to understand his responsibility, and the rest of the defense knew it.
We found out that night that this player wasn't sick at all, but was instead going to practice another sport on Thursday nights. However, when the game approached, he was there to play the game. The rules said we had to play him. So, unprepared as he was, he took his cornerback position.
In our playoff game, we took a 6-0 lead at the half and held the lead through the third quarter. As the fourth quarter was drawing to a close, the other team lined up to pull out their reverse. Sure enough, our cornerback didn't listen to our yells, bit on the fake, and the ball broke outside him for a long scoring touchdown.
This had a psychological effect on our safety. He no longer trusted our cornerback for skipping practice, so he felt he needed to overcompensate. When our offense punted on the next series, their offense sent their running back into the flat on our cornerback's side. Their quarterback faked to him, and our safety bit. Instead the ball sailed over his head to the tight end that was lined up on the other side of the line of scrimmage. We lost the game 12-6, and all our hard work for the playoffs was over because one player thought he should go practice another sport instead. As a staff, I feel that was our fault because we did not lay out the rules at the beginning of the season. Had we done this, this young man and his family might have learned how important for the sake of others it is to finish what he had started. Then, at the end of the season, he could have gone on to play his other sport.

You will probably take the occasional island getaway from Chiang Mai, so I thought I'd mention Koh Tao.
This is an excerpt from Digital Nomad Escape Plan's "Dark Parts" section. You can pick up the whole book for free here.
Homicide Island.. Homicisland?
The island has built itself a reputation for being the final destination of many foreigners over the last few decades. My guess –tourism has rubbed some locals the wrong way.
There are so many islands to visit that it's easy to skip Koh Tao, which is a popular hotspot for scuba diving Europeans because of mainstream travel guides published about the country.
Too many deaths, questionable suicides, or missing persons in the news to call it a coincidence; I won't step foot there, never have.
It has been alleged time and again in Western media that there's a handful of villains there who go "Springbreakers" on foreigners because they can, followed by mysterious activity during investigations. No one can say for certain who the culprits are, whether they are locals, or foreigners.
I won't form any arguments one way or the other because I wasn't there —and to comply with Thai defamation laws I will not speak negatively of any officials, police, or any political figures.
I won't endanger my ability to return to such a beautiful country. Thailand is amazing –one bad apple doesn't mean the whole tree is spoiled. I'll just link to news sources, and let you make your own observations.
Highly-publicized mysterious deaths I am familiar with are those of David Miller, Hannah Witheridge, and Jean-François Louet. At the time of writing, there's a missing Russian expat named Valentina Novozhyonova currently making front page news around the globe.
Decide for Yourself
Some will say it's my loss to not visit Koh Tao, or I am being paranoid –so as with anything in this guide, I leave it to you to decide for yourself. I hope the trolls can humor me on this one as this book is for absolute beginners.
I lived in Bangkok for about a year and I loved it; others might say Koh Tao is safer than Bangkok. Once you're acclimated to Thailand, you'll be in a better position to decide for yourself.
I suggest you check out ThaiVisa.com and sign up for the newsletter or pick up the app to see how interesting the Thai media perspective is, where reading between the lines is where you'll find the meat of any article.
Alternatives to Koh Tao
To help you explore your options I (affiliate) link to hotels below, however there are some really amazing Airbnb options in and around the islands, too.
If it's cold beer, white sand, and the occasional pick up you're after I suggest the quiet Koh Lanta. If you're looking for the best Full Moon Party in Thailand, organize a trip to Koh Pha Ngan (aka Koh Phangan).
Other islands that I really enjoyed include; Koh Phi Phi Don, Koh Chang, Koh Lipe, the Similan Islands, and Koh Samui.
In Summary
I love Thailand, and I love its people. Although as with any travel where you don't have the "home team advantage" in terms of rights and a legal system you're familiar with –play safe. And respect the conservative values, customs, and unwritten law of being a classy traveler (ie. don't fuck on a public beach when there's other people around).

From the moment I became pregnant, I was an anxious worrier. Well, I was one a little before becoming a mom, but it increased in intensity and sometimes inhibits my ability to enjoy things. BUT one thing about that anxiety is that my fears, worries, instincts, whatever you want to call them, are ALWAYS right.
My motto when it comes to this anxiety is BETTER SAFE THEN SORRY! And so far, I've never been sorry. People would laugh at me, and my friends would call me cray cray. I feel like the pediatrician has a note next to my name for every time I call, "it's that crazy lady again!" Because I call about EVERYTHING. 😂
But all my fears, and all my calls to the doctor were justified. I've always been right. You see, once we become moms, we have this intuition deep down in our gut and it is engulfed around our hearts. We just know. There's no explanation. When I would go on runs, I'd get this feeling my baby was upset and needed me, so I'd come home and he would. I could, without fail, say when he was about to cry before it even happened. There is an incredible bond between a mother and her child.😍
So it was obviously day care week for us. There is no hiding the fact that day care is an incredibly difficult transition for moms and their children, but what makes it even more difficult is having this gut feeling that something isn't right. You can do your research, and feel comfortable about a decision, but that doesn't always mean it is the right one, at the right time.
God's timing is amazingly perfect. And the way he answers prayers at the right time, for the right reasons, is no coincidence. ❤ Sunday night, before my first day back to work and Clayton's first day at daycare, we got a call from a lady from church. A little back story: We wanted Clayton to go into her care from the beginning, but she only had part time availability. We posted an ad for care for the other two days, but none of it felt right. So, we began our search for daycares.
Let me just say that daycares range from $700-$2000 and you most definitely get what you pay for, no doubt about it. But the really amazing ones are far too much money for a teacher's salary. So we deligantly did our research on the ones we could afford. My doctor's office, other moms in an area Facebook page, and word of mouth from people we know, highly recommended the place we eventually chose. So we went for a visit, and we were sold. It was clean. It had a schedule we liked. It seemed like a great fit.
Without getting into too much detail, or throwing anybody under the bus, the day care was not the right place for us. All my vibes were screaming to get my sweet boy out of there. Things were not as they were painted to be. And because God was listening, he led us to the path we were intended to take. Our original plan for care was available full time, without coincidence, on the night before day care was to begin. Every instinct told me this was where we were supposed to be. And it's what I wanted in the first place.💙 I feel like Clayton getting sick was a blessing in disguise and spending the last two days with him reassured me that our decision to go to an in home day care is what is best for him and my heart.
To all my mamas who feel like they are anxious and worried, to all my mamas who are told they worry too much…don't let anyone tell you your instincts are wrong. Don't let anyone ever make you feel ashamed of the way you care for your baby. That intuition, that gut wrenching pull on our hearts, that is how we keep our babies safe.

Los Angeles Times

Late 20th century Italian Modernism has gone mainstream in furniture design, architecture, cuisine and elsewhere. This was also a golden age for modern music, one that has had and continues to assert considerable international influence. But we pay it too scant attention.
The Los Angeles Philharmonic's Green Umbrella program Tuesday night offered a compelling corrective. On the one hand, a concert by the orchestra's New Music Group of uncompromising works by Luigi Nono, Luca Francesconi, Luciano Berio and Giacinto Scelsi might seem a somewhat opaque blast from the Green Umbrella past, especially the Esa-Pekka Salonen years, when hardcore new music was more common on the series. Salonen himself studied in Milan.
But Gustavo Dudamel stepped up to the avant-garde Italian plate on this occasion in inspired performances of two seemingly arcane works. Berio's "Calmo," a curiously obscure memorial to Italian composer Bruno Maderna that featured Swedish mezzo-soprano Charlotte Hellekant, and Scelsi's "Anahit," a mystical violin concerto with Jennifer Koh as the soloist.
Both pieces had their origins around the same time and are by composers so unalike that an Italian Modernist musical school might seem like a meaningless notion. Berio was Milanese and from a musical family. He became Italy's most cosmopolitan avant-garde composer and had voraciously wide musical appetites.
Scelsi, born in 1905 (20 years before Berio), was an Italian aristocrat who grew up in a castle, was inspired by Eastern religions, experimented with weirdly interior microtones and rarely left his palatial apartment in Rome.
Yet these works sounded comfortable together in Walt Disney Concert Hall. Each composer had a way with the sensual, downright lusty Italian tradition that goes back centuries. Both pieces are for similar-sized ensembles with string sections that lack violins, and both last about 15 minutes.
For all his spiritual fervor, Scelsi had his earthy side. "Anahit" is dedicated to Venus. Anahit was the Armenian goddess of fertility. The concerto was written in 1965, the year of "Juliet of the Spirits," a movie stimulated by Federico Fellini's experiments with psychedelic drugs and séances.
Scelsi wanders through the same parapsychological territory. The solo violin, led on a transcendent journey by an 18-piece droning ensemble, relies on the intensity of bent tones with otherworldly implications, and Koh made every note mesmerizing. Dudamel's job was as a conveyor of eeriness, something for which he seemed peculiarly at home.
Compared with these ensemble pieces the works by Nono and Francesconi were more abstract. Italian sensuality and spirituality surfaced nonetheless.
Nono's "'Hay que caminar' sonando" for two solo violins is the composer's last work before he died in 1990, and it evokes a sense of leaving the material world. The players stand apart and are asked to move to different positions for each of the three sections.
As associate concertmasters Nathan Cole and Bing Wang moved farther and farther away from the audience, winding up in the organ loft, they created a physical sense of removal to accentuate the insubstantial sounds of their bows barely scraping strings.

larissa12 Review
Nice, but wrong style...too art-deco -ish
Product itself was ok. I would've kept it - still need a mirror for above my mantle - but the style was too art-deco for my decor. Colors were muted, not loud. Size was perfect. Quality was only fair. Scratches were visible to the eye, but if the mirror fit my room, I still would've kept it. Think they would've been lost on the wall.
- How did the color on site compare with the actual product? Fairly well, though more muted in real life
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. Made in china...scratches on frame, would've been lost when hung on wall, but still B- on quality
- How accurate was the on site description of the product? Fairly accurate
Was This Review Helpful?

א׳ בניסן ה׳תשע״ז (March 28, 2017) Jerusalem Marathon: Running through the Holy City
On March 17, about 20 TRY students ran in the Jerusalem Marathon. Most did the 5k, but five students (and one madricha) ran the 10k. The 5k runners woke up early to get to their race on time. The 10k runners and everyone else woke up a little while later for an invigorating, spiritual tefillah and some energizing breakfast.
As we all walked down to the starting line, we listened to music on a speaker to hype ourselves up for the forthcoming event. It was thrilling to see so many different kinds of Israelis, from Orthodox to secular, all stretching together in anticipation of the race. As we approached the starting line, the other students wished those of us running the 10k good luck. I walked up to the starting line feeling apprehensive yet enthusiastic.
The race finally began after what felt like a long wait. There were so many people there that we were unable to run at first because of the crowds. We weren't worried though-we had 10k (6.2 miles) ahead of us!
I was with my friend Elior, and together we ran through the beautiful, holy city of Jerusalem. It was definitely an experience I will never forget. We began around Katamon, relatively near the Chava. Then we made our way up to the Old City. It was an amazing feeling to run through Zion Gate, past the Tower of David Museum. There were definitely a number of uphills, but there were just as many downhills. Toward the end of the race there was one hill that was super tough, but with the hit song "Zahav" emanating from other runners' phones, and knowing that I was running in Jerusalem alongside the people of Israel, there was enough motivation to bring me to the pisga (the peak!).

The 2017 Jaguar XE has one thing in abundance that's often missing from other small luxury sedans: sex appeal. Even the headlights, under their own shapely hoods, have a purring, feline seduction to them. There's nothing about this car that doesn't seem to have been designed with a demure but provocative wink.
An all-new sedan for 2017, the XE fills a slot in the lineup that's traditionally been frustrating for Jaguar. Remember the misbegotten 2002 X-Type? Jaguar rather hopes you don't. But the XE is a clean-sheet design that's built using Jaguar's own modular aluminum structural architecture. It isn't a redecorated Ford or haphazard collection of random bits from other manufacturers. This one — metaphor alert — is a Jaguar from the bottom of its claws to the top of its furry noggin.
As with most of its competition, the XE can be tailored precisely to the buyer's specifications. Both rear- and all-wheel drive are available, and in addition to the standard 240-horsepower, 2.0-liter turbocharged four, there's a torque-rich 2.0-liter turbodiesel four and a supercharged 3.0-liter V6 rated at 340 horsepower. All send their power through an eight-speed automatic transmission.
Criticism of the XE usually centers on the rather intimate confines of the cabin and the suspect quality of some components used within it. There are four basic trim levels available — base, Premium, Prestige and R-Sport — that can be mixed and matched with the various powertrain options. The R-Sport at the top includes items such as specific bumper covers, a body kit, adaptive xenon headlamps and contrast stitching on the leather upholstery.
Jaguar knows how to build an engaging chassis, and it has delivered just that with the XE. This isn't just a nimble car; it's also a eager one. It's a car that bites into corners with a ferocious joy and bolts out of them with an appetite for more. The steering is quick and precise, the ride is always comfortable, and the self-confidence is practically infectious.
The EPA rates the XE's fuel mileage at a solid 36 mpg combined (32 city/42 highway) for a rear-wheel-drive model equipped with the diesel engine. At the opposite end, an XE with the gas-burning supercharged V6 and all-wheel drive will slurp at the rate of 23 mpg combined (20 city/29 highway).
The XE is a new entry in a crowded market. And it's a market that's overfilled with attractive alternatives. To make sense of all that, use the tools here on Edmunds and then we'll hook you up with a great dealer and a solid deal.

Products liability doctrine holds a manufacturer, or other party involved in selling a product, strictly liable when an article, placed into the market with knowledge that it is to be used without inspection for defects, proves to have a defect that causes a personal injury. Consumers who are injured because of a fault with a product that the consumers had no ability to protect themselves against may recover against the manufacturer under a theory of products liability.
Atchison is a city situated along the Missouri River in the eastern part of Atchison County, located in northeast Kansas, in the Central United States. The population was 10,232 at the 2000 census, and it was estimated to be 10,154 in the year 2006. It is the county seat and most populous city of Atchison County. The city is named in honor of David Rice Atchison, United States senator from Missouri, and was the original eastern terminus of the Atchison, Topeka, and Santa Fe Railroad. Atchison was the birthplace of aviatrix Amelia Earhart: the Amelia Earhart Festival held each July annually attracts an estimated 30,000–50,000 people. The festival includes a downtown craft fair, an antique airplane fly-in and airshow, and one of the largest fireworks displays in the Midwest, which takes place over the Missouri River. Atchison is also the home of Benedictine College, a small Catholic liberal-arts college. Atchison is often called one of the most haunted places in America, due to the city's ghost-story heritage, featured in the 1997 book, "Haunted Kansas," written by Lisa Hefner Heitz, and published by University Press of Kansas.

SAN JOSE, Calif. — Last week, SunPods Inc., a San Jose, Calif.-based manufacturer of modular, fully integrated and tested solar power generation systems, announced the industry's first solar power-assist system for buses.
The Sun Bus Power System was created by San Francisco-based Bauer's Intelligent Transportation, a provider of chauffeured green transportation, and developed in less than six weeks in collaboration with SunPods to enable the operator's fleet to meet the strict anti-pollution standards of California.
The modular solar power assist system consists of four thin film solar panels that run the length of the bus and charge an onboard battery bank. When the bus engine is off, the batteries power the air-conditioning and wireless connectivity equipment, enabling transportation companies to meet anti-idling standards without compromising passenger comfort.
The system has been in operation on a Bauer IT bus, undergoing testing since January 2010. A prototype was displayed at the Cleantech Open National Launch in San Francisco on Feb. 26.
"We support the state's strong commitment to reducing pollution. At the same time, as a transportation provider, we wanted to meet our customers' requirements for comfort and connectivity," said Gary Bauer, founder and owner of Bauer's Intelligent Transportation. "SunPods was able to make our vision a reality in less than six weeks. We've been testing the bus for the past four weeks and we're impressed with the reliable performance."
In an effort to meet air pollution standards, California state law since 2008 has prohibited diesel vehicles from idling for more than five minutes. More than 25 states across the U.S. now have anti-idling laws.
"We are really pleased to collaborate with an innovative company like Bauer IT," said Dan Jaeger, president and co-founder of SunPods. "As a company, our focus is on reducing installation costs to make solar power more cost-effective and, thereby, increase adoption. With Bauer IT's support, we have created a solar power assist system for luxury buses across the U.S."
For more information on SunPods, visit SunPods Inc. Web site.
For more information about the solar power-assisted bus, contact Lisa Schmidt, Director of Marketing, at [email protected] or (408) 689-2446.
