Hey kids, and welcome to
Today we're going to be discussing my irrational love for all things wireless. When I was a friendless, bowl-cut, glasses-all-fogged-up 12-year-old with snot running down my face, I got my ham radio license (KA0JXA, to those of you in the Biz) and obsessed over dipoles built in my yard. The thought of transmitting actual blips and blaps over a piece of wire hanging off my roof filled me with satisfaction, and offered precious nanoseconds of respite from my dreary existence behind the 7-foot diesel-covered snowbanks of Eastern Iowa.
I carried this compulsion with walkie-talkies, then cordless phones, then the internet, and NOW, fair friends, I have reached the current pinnacle of wireless technology.
Do I have to say it? Of course, it's 802.11g!
Our Brooklyn apartment is weird, and probably has brick walls (and human bodies) laced in it, so getting a good Airport signal from one end to the other has been a constantly-shifting game of contortionist art. Today, I installed the new Airport Extreme (which always reminds me of Homer's cartoon dog Poochie that recycles..."to the EXTREME!") and spent three hours trying to mount it on plasterboard without taking the entire wall down, then another two hours placing the antenna so Tessa could surf from her office.
Now, having been a rabid wardriver myself, I fully appreciate how important it is to give ne'er-do-wells in the immediate vicinity the chance to piggyback on our internet connection. For months, I left the encryption password off, just to provide a bit of public service and a karmic "thank you" to all those internet connections I've stolen before.
But then someone started downloading the entire Library of Congress Jazz Catalogue, or atmospheric recreations for the Biosphere, or porn - and our service slowed to a funereal crawl. So, reluctantly, I've had to close off our access to the world at large.
Someday, my childhood fantasy of a wireless world, some fantastical system where streams of information are beamed to entire cities at a time from a gargantuan blimp docked in the sky, will come to pass. It would be the redemptive conclusion of my sad dipole in a cold Iowa yard, then Love and Wireless would rule the Earth.
Until then, the fine folks on Berkeley Street will have to make do with the seven other Airport signals they can get from their bedrooms. I recommend "fyrlearese," she seems cool.Posted by irw at December 1, 2003 11:49 PM
dah-dit dah-dit dah-dah-dit-dah
For a brief while in my youth, I was Ka5DTG, but then we moved and my cool friend with the transmitter was no longer within driving distance and I had to turn to FM and porn. The sinpo(is that right?) cards I received from people all over the world were my most cherished posession.
QSL cards - SINPO is the code for reception quality. I, too, am a radio nerd but I love it. I judge that 48% of all bloggers are radio nerds as well. I have it from the best sources.
In my LinkSys WAP, there appear to be settings (which I've never used) that allow the wireless bandwidth available to be throttled back. Perhaps the Airport has the same?
Oh God, I had two entire walls covered with QSL cards - sort of the equivalent of baseball cards that the cool kids collected. I was especially proud of this one I got from South America (on a 40-meter dipole, which is the equivalent of getting Radio Free Europe through the braces in your mouth).
Peter, there is a power control in AEBS software that limits the range, but not the bandwidth (or is that what you meant?) - I left it on 100% because it still struggles to get to all the nooks of our apartment.
If you ever want a real nerd-radio-fest to wear off some of those New York center of the high arts barnacles, like these guys, we could do a Dxpedition. I seem to still have Build Your Own Shortwave Antennas by Yoder. {...shakes head...} Good Lord! Is this what internet grooming looks like?
Hello guys. I feel compelled to weigh in that reading Ian's latest blog and the related comments is like, for me, trying to decipher Aramaic or looking over a cricket story in the sports section ("...Rhys-Jones jerried the toggle to the wicket, sliding only razas away from half test. Wiggins added a full abellion for the tooner."[sic]). I am awed by your technical knowledge! For me a victory is setting the clock on my VCR.
Lyle, you're the chick all the ham radio nerds lusted after.
I thought radio nerds lusted after QSLs from St. Helena.
I, too, am a closet radio nerd. I have a shortwave AND a scanner...
Hey there! Wonderful stuff, please do tell us when you post once again something related!

Project WHY has no institutional or government support, and hence depends entirely on individuals and donations from well wishers and supporters. Till date we have been able to sustain all its activities thanks to an ever increasing network of supporters. Almost all the money received goes back to the community we work with.
A dream towards sustainability
Project Why began as a spontaneous reaction to help an unfortunate few, and has grown organically over eight years to become an extraordinary life-line that offers many children hope instead of despondency. Project Why is a hand to mouth type of organisation; desperation connects the income received from donors with the investment in its resources. Planet Why is the answer to this desperate struggle - Planet Why is the dream that a sustainable future for Project Why might exist, that Project Why might have a chance to reach out to a few more and to grow, that the begging for help might be supplemented by a more predictable life-line
Till our sustainability dream becomes a reality, we need you to help us survive and continue our work.

Who is your favorite to win Top Chef 9?
Now that we're a few episodes in who's your favorite to win? Who do you want to go home NOW?
re: Worldwide Diner
Lindsey drives me crazy, and I'm not really sure why.
re: Worldwide Diner
Gotta go with Paul. I liked him when he said he was his mothers favorite when everyone was bragging about their various awards in the opening show and he seems to be cooking really well so far.
re: viperlush
I agree Dakota is becoming a bit of a Dark Horse. She's got some mentions and some wins. You can tell she is very critical of herself by the way she takes praise and criticism. Could be her only down fall
re: Sandwich_Sister
Yeah, I can see her self doubt causing a problem.
re: viperlush
I agree - I miss Chuy. I think perhaps Grayson *might* be a dark horse. I like Paul and Edward, although haven't seen a whole lot from Edward.
To go - Beverly, Heather, Lindsay and Chris Crary. I think Dakota and Nyesha will make it far but not to the Final 4.
Paul so far and Nyesha as the dark horse. I'd like to see Chris Padma stalker gone and Grayson. Why Grayson? I can't put my finger on it but maybe because I thought she shouldn't have been there in the first place? Maybe it's that hair tossing (at the risk of sounding like I'm anti woman because I know a lot of women do that). Edward, too--I wouldn't mind seeing him leave. I'd like to see Sara do better. She started out strong.
re: chowser
I feel the same about Grayson. I actually forget that she is still in it. She reminds me of those who are good team players and can take instructions, but I can't see her leading a kitchen/group.
re: viperlush
I like Grayson, though I don't exactly know why. Maybe because the others seem to dismiss her. But I agree Paul seems poised to win -- and I wouldn't mind if he did.
re: piccola
I don't mind Grayson - talented or not - at least she's not butt ugly.
re: piccola
I like Grayson too. Agree that Paul and Nyesha seem like they could go far.
re: chowser
Does anyone else think Ed looks weird when he speaks? It's like he's really jutting out his lower jaw or something.
re: Worldwide Diner
The Eater covered it but I didn't notice it until then. Now, I can't stop noticing it. He posted a video of just the jaw shift, on repeat..
I can't pick a favorite due to the uninspiring under performances this year so far.
re: mcf
Yeah, the only reason Paul stands out for me is that he picked the hottest pepper and didn't back away from that challenge.vs someone like Bev (kind of afraid to say anything about her at this point) picked the nonspicy one and didn't do anything with it. Nyesha seems like someone who puts her head down, and plows through w/ hard work and determination. It helps that she has a good resume, worked w/ Joel Robuchon. and I like the parts of Chef Hunter I saw with her on it. She's also drama-free, for the most part. But, she's yet to do anything that knocks my socks off, or at least what the editors show. I think her best dish might have been her first, to secure her spot on the show. But, overall, none have gone outside the box. Hopefully, Tom's pep talk will make them do that,
re: chowser
Bev strikes me as really lame.
re: chowser
Didn't Nyesha win the Exec Chef position on Chef Hunter?? How is she able to do both or is Top Chef an old series?
re: mucho gordo
Yes, and I was wondering the same thing. I thought maybe the Wilshire gave her the break for publicity?
re: chowser
When they were going through saying where they worked, she said the Wilshire, and I got the feeling that the episode of Chef Hunter she was on got filmed a while ago.
re: viperlush
I don't even remember the bread pudding but that it was memorable shows how lame the dishes have been.
re: chowser
Dakota's (?) dessert for the progressive dinner party challenge. It's the latest episode that I've watched.
re: chowser
The only thing I can recall (visually) off-hand is that tres leches cake and that only because it was so wobbly and lopsided I was waiting/hoping for it to fall over or collapse. Pretty lame dishes so far.
re: huiray
When she said she was going to make the tres leches ckae stacked, I thought, really??? I thought she might just brush the tres leches into the cake, not pour it in because it's such a soft wet cake when you do--I was waiting for it to topple, too!
Gotta go with Paul for now. Very steady, takes chances and delivers. I like Nyesha as the underdog. Heather is actually talented but she's pissing off too many people and it will lead to her downfall. I like Grayson probably because she's a party girl who can actually cook. Moto Chris has a chance to go far because he will be the most willing to try something really different and succeed. Unfortunately, as we've seen, he's just as likely to try something crazy (cigars anyone?) and crash and burn. He might be a little gun shy after the Stepford Wife episode.
The contenders I like as personalities aren't necessarily the ones who seem to have the most talent. People I'd like to hang out with: Nyesha, Beverly, Edward and Ty-Lor. Nyesha and Edward are the two out of that group I think have a shot at winning. I agree that Paul seems to have talent, as well. He seems nice enough, but I don't yet have a strong sense of his personality from episodes.
I can't see what anyone has against Lindsay or Grayson, who seem perfectly likable to me. On the please go home list, I'm probably manipulable: I really want Heather to leave. She seems pretty darn evil and my blood pressure rises every time she talks. Chris C. could go, too, in my book. He sees superficial to say the least. I kind of like Ugly Chris's personality, even if he did ogle Padma in kinda creepy ways in early episodes. He's pretty funny.
re: michelleats
I think what bothers me about Grayson is in the first episode how she completely expected Chef Tyler to butcher her tenderloin so she could do her own thing and she completely ignored the situation until it was too late. I thought at that point, she should have gone. Ugly Chris was on top of it to see what the vegan chef was doing and step in to stop it. Ugly Chris isn't the one who ogled Padma, it was creepy weight loss Chris. I think Ugly Chris has potential in this show--he's the only one who has stepped outside the box, although not well.
re: chowser
Good point about Ugly Chris. He's refreshingly not-like-the-others -- in personality, hair style or style of cooking -- and my guess is also that he could turn out some wonderful and interesting dishes.
As for comparative creepiness, Chris C. made the Padma is like Fabio comment at the rodeo (which I didn't think was all that creepy, since he said it matter of factly and Padma was indeed factually "beauty incarnate" or whatever his exact words were), but IIRC, Ugly Chris made some sort of comment the first episode about how Padma was even hotter in person than she was in pictures or something to that effect. I don't think it was so much his words as his demeanor. IIRC, he said it with drool rolling down his chin, while his beady eyes glistened (with lust... if you want to be melodramatic). I'd have to find that clip again, but my initial reaction to Ugly Chris was that he gave me the willies.
I feel guilty partaking in all this gossip. I know it's terrible. :)
Who else do you think has potential to cook outside the box? Paul seems pretty grounded in classical technique and hasn't so far deviated that much as far as I can recall, though he evidently pulls that off with great success and he could certainly play less conservatively in the future. Edward made a far more interesting survival pack dish than the others, I thought. I thought Nyesha made a fascinating sounding dish for the sauce Quickfire challenge, grounded in classical technique, although big-teeth, fake smile John Besh didn't seem to think it tasted that great. I do see her doing something interesting enough to set her apart in the future, though.
re: michelleats
I like Paul. But, I want to see what they all do this week, after Tom's talk.
This is the Eater recap of the first episode and Chris oglng Padma:
"Contestant Chris Crary, who was probably in Sugar Ray, sets the tone for this season immediately: "We arrive at the Alamo and the first thing I think of is: Padma looks hot." Uh, pack your boner and go, Crary. Make sure to tape your boner to your leg before you put on your chef pants, otherwise you're gonna slam it in the oven door and go home crying. "I have to stay in this competition just so I can look at her." I'm literally glad there are cameras on this one 24/7 because let's all watch out for him"
re: chowser
That's hilarious! I love Eater recaps. I have to remember to read those more often.
It's entirely possible that I'm bigoted against ugly men who drool over very beautiful women, but less bigoted against normal looking men who drool over very beautiful women. Either way, I do hope and think Ugly Chris will stay for a while, but Orange Chris won't. His style just doesn't seem that sophisticated or interesting.

Marco Dapper, the ultimate eye candy, recently landed on the number one soap in the U.S., The Young and the Restless, and in the process gained a whole new audience of adoring fans. Dapper had already gained huge recognition from the gay community who first caught a glimpse of his good looks, stunning bod and acting chops in the cult-hit Eating Out 2. What followed was a succession of photo shoots and covers that were unrivaled for their steaming sex appeal.Frontiers sat down recently with Dapper at The Grove, just outside CBS Studios where he takes on the role of Carmine Basco, who is involved in a hot and heavy romance with heiress Abby Newman, and found out what it has been like for him working on a daytime soap for the first time in his career, and if the series exploiting his looks is cool with him. Plus, we get the inside scoop on his workout routine, his stance on gay marriage and the struggles facing the LGBT community, and some other surprises along the way. We found Marco to be direct, witty, confident and disarmingly charming. So here's our conversation and some exclusive photos with the Dapper one!How did you come to the attention of Y&R? How did you land the role of Carmine?It is not as exciting as you think it would be. My manager called and said he had an audition for me for The Young & the Restless and I said, "No! Pass!" And my manager calls me out, swear to God! He is like, "Marco! This year you are supposed to say yes to everything. That is supposed to be your whole mentality." I go, "OK. You are right." I decided I was being a snob and a brat. I decided to go to the audition and try it out. I guess one thing led to another and I kept being called back. Then I realized at the chemistry read with Marcy Rylan [Abby, Y&R] that I had so much fun with her, and she was a good actress. So I guess my "snobitute" was unwarranted. It opened up my eyes a little bit. When I got on set I then said, "I was an asshole and judging."Daytime has this stigma!Yes and it's unfortunate. I don't know why, or where, or how that came about. I am far too young to know the soap stigma. [Laughs] But here is my soap stigma story: My mom watched the soaps when I was a child, and when I wanted to watch cartoons. She would be like, "No! I am watching the soaps!" I was mad, but not mad at her. I was mad at the soaps because they were in the way of my cartoons! I think that is where my bitterness for soaps originally stemmed from, being jaded as a child. I was bitter, but I have gotten over it now! [Laughs]What did the powers-that-be tell you about the role of Carmine? That he would be a potential love interest for Abby?I really did not exactly know. They told me it's possibly a recurring role. I figured once they had me read with someone there would be some onscreen relationship there, but honestly, the whole adventure in daytime has been a pleasant surprise.Who would you tell the Frontiers readers Carmine is if they have not watched Y&R? What is he about?He is misunderstood. He's the kind of guy that acts first, and questions later. He comes from Jersey. I think Y&R was riding the Jersey Shore wave with this, but to my happiness without the bad clothing choices. [Laughs] Those aren't there. The Ed Hardy is not part of the plan. Not to name names. [Laughs] But, Carmine is not your typical Jersey Shore kind of guy. When I got to wardrobe they were like, "Well, we like what you are wearing now." I was in a T-shirt and jeans. I am a various T-shirt and jeans kind of a guy. They asked me, what brands do I wear? So I wrote down some brands, and literally they went out and got the clothes! It literally looks like my closet at home. It was great. I thought, "At least I will look decent!"Most people would assume there are only three shirts in your wardrobe at Y&R, because you would be shirtless all the time![Laughs] Actually, it took me 15 episodes before I was shirtless! I thought that was great. My buddy kept asking me, "Did you take your shirt off yet?" I was proud to say, "Well, actually I haven't." I thought, "Good. They are using me not for my body, but then 15 episodes in … It happened! [Laughs]Let's talk about Carmine and Abby's relationship. What would you say is going on there? Are they just smitten with each other at this point?It's young lovers being smitten, kind of hot and fast. I think it is what everyone wants love to be. That very passionate, hands-on, touchy-touchy, can't get enough of that person, that we all enjoy. We have had bedroom scenes and they were fun and went well!The adorable spitfire Marcy Rylan is your scene partner on Y&R. What are three words you use to describe her?Marcy is smart, fun and sexy. She reminds me of the Reese Witherspoon of Y&R. She has that Legally Blonde thing going for her. She is that cute, approachable girl, which works great for her.Since you have taken your clothes off all the time in your career as a physique model, when they tell you it's time for you to take your shirt off in a scene, are you like, "Oh good. I get to strut my stuff?"I am comfortable with my body. Obviously, sex sells, we all know that. That is tried-and-true. So I know that. But it's not like I go, "Yippee! I am going to take my shirt off!" No, no, no! Either way, I don't care, as long as we get the story across, and right now the story just happens to be we are being hot for each other, and physicality is a big part of that. I think it serves a purpose. But if something doesn't serve a purpose for me, and its just gratuitous, then I don't follow.The LGBT community knows you originally from your performance in Eating Out 2 and all the subsequent shirtless and body shots. Was this the career path you had carved out for yourself and envisioned?It just happened that way. I got a big following from Eating Out, and then photographers would approach me to say they want to shoot pictures of me. I thought, "Sure! Why not? What have I got to do on a Tuesday?" So then I got a modeling agent out of that and I made money modeling. But, I was an actor first. I was not trying to be a model. But it started with Eating Out, and then I got the cover of DNA, the Australian magazine. Then it became about being half-naked. But I was an actor as a kid. The modeling got me sidetracked there. But hell, I was waiting tables or selling shoes at Big Five, so yeah, I am going to do it and take the money. Look, if it's a choice between taking my shirt off or selling a size nine, I will take my shirt off! [Laughs]You gained a very big following from the cult-film Eating Out 2!Absolutely! It was a very welcoming environment and they were supportive. The thing was so many people told me that doing that film was going to ruin my career. And my whole thing was, I don't care. I am not going to subscribe to fear. With that kind of film, I put myself on the map. This was a 100 percent gamble. Eating Out 2 was a risqué film. Let's be honest with ourselves. I took the risk and I had a lot of fun with it. I had a great community follow it. There was no guarantee I would get support from the gay community. I feel lucky to have gotten that support and I rode it. It's all about the risk-taking. I had a fun time on that shoot, and it is my roots, man, absolutely.What is it like being you? Do you get hit on all the time? When you get a compliment, do you take that in and acknowledge it, or do you deflect it?I am really bad at taking compliments. I shy away just because I don't know how to respond to that. Sometimes I feel people make compliments because they want one back. You know someone will say, "You look really great! " And they are waiting for me to say, "And so do YOU!" And I don't want to lie to them if it's not true. [Laughs]Do you feel pressure being a hunky guy on a soap to keep up the looks?I guess in some ways, sure. I got this job and I have to keep that physique the same. I got this job when I was working out really hard. So I have to keep that going. There was awhile there that I let it go. I thought I did not want to be the in-shape guy anymore. I noticed then I didn't book very much! [Laughs]See! What did we learn?Take more acting classes! [Laughs] I am not the tallest guy on the block. You have these guys that are 6'2'' and they are very handsome men. They have that tall, lean, dark thing going on. I thought if I have a better body than these guys, at least I have an edge on them! Let's be honest. I go on auditions all the time. These guys are the Supermen of men. I am like, "holy crap!" These guys are chiseled. I am thinking, "I am not going to compete against him!" Bottom line is, I am a product. How do I sell? I figured at 5'10'' I have to have a better body than these guys and have that edge. If I can have that, then maybe I can be in the running, and make it hard for people to choose who they want to go with for the role.So without giving all of your secrets away, what is your workout regimen like?I am pretty old-school. I don't do CrossFit or anything like that. My dad taught me to lift weights when I was a kid in the seventh grade. I was a scrawny child and my dad was always in great shape. He was an athlete type of dude. He bought me a weight set at 5 years old! But I did not use it for a few years. Now I just do a very basic routine. I do free weights and I don't like machines. I don't get a good workout on them, but for some people they do. It's all personal preference for me. I am lucky that I have a really good metabolism as well. I use that to my advantage. I do every bodypart once a week. Rest is key, and the thing that helps your muscles grow. I am a slacker on cardio, though. I quit smoking three months ago and my first cigarette was when I was 11 years old. I was a bad kid, smoking weed, drinking and the whole nine yards. I was the pothead kid. I grew up in the Oakland and Berkeley, Calif., area, which was more of a hippie culture at that time.You talk about being surprised how good everyone is on daytime soaps. Have you watched other actors on Y&R? Who do you think is great at their craft?All of them. Not to sound cliché or anything, but everyone has wowed me in their own way. I like to sit on set, even when I am not working. I think it is fun to sit back and support everyone doing their thing, and learn from them and their mistakes. Everyone at Y&R has to be so on and do their jobs fast. Christian LeBlanc [Michael, Y&R] is one of my favorites. He is a ball of awesomeness, that man. He is a funny dude. He has been the one who honestly took me under his wing when I first got there. He made sure I felt welcome, and felt like part of the soap community.Since you look the way you do, and seem to be on the surface a very confident guy, is there something that has shaken your confidence in the past?Some ex-girlfriends did shake my confidence. They made me question myself, and that I am not good enough for somebody. And, sometimes acting is a brutal sport! It will beat your soul up. The person that I am today is so different than years ago. My soul has changed so much for the better. I have been through the ringer many times. But it is not for everyone. That is why after nine years I feel I am coming along, but I have a long way to go. I think why I survived is that I don't care if I am the best. I just want to work. I just want to have the dream of being paid for doing what I love. My philosophy is very Goldilocks. I am all about the middle. You don't want to be eating Top Ramen, but you don't want to be so famous that you can't even go to a ballpark or a restaurant. That is a nightmare in itself. It's all about working and doing the craft and living a normal life, and enjoying life, and not running away or hiding from it.Being a friend to the LGBT community, where do you stand on the issue of gay marriage, and what has happened with Prop. 8, and how it is brought up in the current presidential political campaigns, etc.?Straight marriage ain't doing so well! There is like an 80 percent divorce rate. So why not let the gay people be as miserable as the straight people? Seriously! [Laughs] Look, it's absurd the laws and the stipulations of marriage. I am very middle-of-the-road, both conservative and liberal, and grew up in a conservative family. I grew up in Catholic school all my life, so I know all about Jesus. And what I know about Jesus is that this guy, if he was around today, he hung out with all the rejects of society and wasn't very popular, either. So what do you think he would do in this situation? I may be going out on a limb here, but I think he would be very cool with the gay marriage thing. That is the vibe I get off of him and all these leaders, Gandhi, Buddha, etc. I would say all would be cool with it. They are all about love and not rules. It's about two consenting adults doing what they want to do. This is America. Aren't we the land of the free? I feel bad, honestly. It's not a pity sorry, but I have a lot of gay friends, and it sucks!All things being equal, would you like to keep working on a soap and Y&R?I would love to continue at Y&R! No one wants to go home from the party, unless they are puking. And I am not puking. [Laughs] Who knows? I have a whole new respect for the genre.Recently, there was a huge backstage shakeup at Y&R. Maria Arena Bell was let go as both series executive producer and head writer, and she was replaced by Jill Farren Phelps and Josh Grifith, respectively. What do you think of your chances of staying on the show with the new regime change?I hope everyone gets what they want from this whole changing of the guard. I have had people ask me if I will be canned because of the new writer and new EP. I was like, "That is a possibility if they are cleaning house, and they are going to have to get rid of some old items and new items that they don't need." Soap fans are very loyal and very protective. So when a new guy like me comes into play with things, most of them aren't so ready to open their arms. They are very stubborn and that is fine, but I think the powers-that-be are looking at that going, "What can we do to improve ratings?"I think Jill and Josh, and the production and writing teams will have a meeting and say, "Let's keep him on the show, so we can have more shirtless scenes!"Actually, even if they killed off Carmine, they could preserve him shirtless. We can preserve a mold on the wall as a memory of Carmine! [Laughs]For more on the soaps, visit MichaelFairmanSoaps.com. All Photos by duffimages.com.

Rooms at the Gatwick Stanhill Court
Views over 32 acres of parkland, three acres of forest... and the South Downs
All the rooms at Stanhill Court hotel are in keeping with the history of the hotel and have a warm and homely feel. Furnishings are top quality and all rooms provide all the fixings to make hot drinks, a flatscreen television, telephone, trouser press and free wireless internet. Bathrooms are modern in style and feature heated towel rails and wall-mounted hair dryers; most have baths, but a few are shower only.
- "Stanhill Court Hotel really exceeded our expectations. Everything went very smoothly, we had a lovely room, and the taxi service worked very well. A relaxing start to our holiday."
Mrs Bossley, 24 Sep 2013
- "Beautiful hotel, good size room. Very quiet location, lots of space for parking. Staff were extremely helpful and pleasant, we are going to stay here again in the future."
Mrs Baxter, 09 Jul 2013
Many bedrooms have lovely views over the South Downs and all are quiet enough that youll forget the airport is anywhere near.
Double rooms:
Stanhill Court has four types of double room: standard, character, four-poster and deluxe. Standard rooms are the most basic, while the character rooms feature touches such as carved wooden furniture and rolltop baths. Four-poster rooms have (unsurprisingly) four-poster beds and deluxe rooms are the most opulent of all, with a spacious feel and extras such as fireplaces and South Downs views. All rooms are slightly different in style and feel, which makes a stay at Stanhill Court a more interesting prospect than one at a chain hotel.
Other room options:
Stanhill Court also has a number of twin rooms, which are ideal for two adults sharing. Many rooms also have interconnecting doors.

Art by Abby Martin- Killing Hope
Killing Hope, 16" x 20" acrylic, 2011
MEDIA ROOTS- Never before Barack Obama's presidential campaign had I ever seen a candidate brand themselves with a corporate logo. Obama's official logo appears to be a giant blue "O" sun rising over an American flag horizon, symbolizing the supposed dawn of a new beginning. The manipulative branding of the loaded words "Hope & Change" worked beautifully- most of the world rallied strongly behind Obama as he took on the role of the new world leader.
Two years and three months into Obama's presidency, his administration has not only continued most of the corrupt, unjust and inhumane policies of the criminal Bush term, but in many cases his administration has exacerbated them. After the escalation of the Afghanistan war and drone attacks in Pakistan, the unconstitutional bombing of Libya, the financial and political backing of murderous governments, the further dismemberment of the Bill of Rights as well as the unabated support of Bush's "War on Terror", it's more than fair to say that the Obama regime has blood all over its hands.
My interpretation of Obama's logo is one where the American stripes are spilling into a deep pool of blood. The dripping blood represents the carnage and death that has resulted from the perpetuation of these horrendous policies. The blood also represents the slow death of the false sense of "hope" that Obama's campaign galvanized. Broken promise after broken promise, more people are breaking out of the baseless propaganda and empty rhetoric and starting to acknowledge that true change and hope can only be sustained through love, strength and peace- not a corporate marketing campaign financed by corrupt banks and bloodthirsty military contractors.
This piece is going to be part of Abby Martin's upcoming art installation called Dystopian Musings at Mama Buzz Gallery on May 6 in Oakland, CA for the monthly art murmur. Her new series of mixed media work intends to provoke a stark reflection of modern day politics and society by visually critiquing major players, events and unsettling trends.

Media Roots Interview with Filmmaker Brett Smith, Creator of 9/11 Film Hypothesis
Interview with Filmmaker Brett Smith, Creator of Hypothesis by Media Roots
This is an exclusive Media Roots Radio interview with Utah based documentarian Brett Smith, conducted by Abby and Robbie Martin on February 23, 2011. In 2006, Brett's love of films drew him into taking a film class where he was required to make a 15 minute short. That 15 minute short later turned into 40 minute documentary called Hypothesis.
Hypothesis is a documentary that follows physics professor Steven E. Jones during a pivotal time in his life. In 2005, Jones went public with a theory about 9/11 that was so controversial, it resulted in everything from hate mail, threats, and even bribery to try to end his research. Despite the outside pressures, Jones vowed to never give up on his pursuit of the truth.

AP Aerospace Writer
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) -- Astronauts removed an old space station pump Saturday, sailing through the first of a series of urgent repair spacewalks to revive a crippled cooling line.
The two Americans on the crew, Rick Mastracchio and Michael Hopkins, successfully pulled out the ammonia pump with a bad valve __ well ahead of schedule. That task had been planned for the next spacewalk, originally scheduled for Monday but now delayed until Tuesday, Christmas Eve, because of the need for a suit swap.
"An early Christmas," observed Mission Control as Mastracchio tugged the refrigerator-size pump away from its nesting spot.
If Mastracchio and Hopkins keep up the quick work, two spacewalks may be enough to complete the installation of a spare pump and a third spacewalk will not be needed as originally anticipated.
Several hours after Saturday's spacewalk ended, Mission Control bumped spacewalk 2 to Tuesday to give Mastracchio enough time to prepare a spare suit. His original suit was compromised when he inadvertently turned on a water switch in the air lock at the end of Saturday's excursion. NASA officials said Saturday night that it's unclear whether a third spacewalk will be needed and when it might occur, if required. A third spacewalk had been slated for Christmas Day before the latest turn of events. NASA requires a day off between spacewalks for astronaut rest.
The space station breakdown 10 days earlier left one of two identical cooling loops too cold and forced the astronauts to turn off all nonessential equipment inside the orbiting lab, bringing scientific research to a near-halt and leaving the station in a vulnerable state.
Mission Control wanted to keep the spacewalkers out even longer Saturday to get even further ahead, but a cold and uncomfortable Mastracchio requested to go back. The spacewalk ended after 5½ hours, an hour short on time but satisfyingly long on content.
Earlier, Mastracchio managed to unhook all the ammonia fluid and electrical lines on the pump with relative ease, occasionally releasing a flurry of frozen ammonia flakes that brushed against his suit. A small O-ring floated away, but he managed to retrieve it.
"I got it, I got it, I got it. Barely," Mastracchio said as he stretched out his hand.
"Don't let that go, that's a stocking stuffer," Mission Control replied.
"Don't tell my wife," Mastracchio said, chuckling, as he put it in a small pouch for trash.
Mastracchio, a seven-time spacewalker, and Hopkins, making his first, wore extra safety gear as they worked outside. NASA wanted to prevent a recurrence of the helmet flooding that nearly drowned an Italian astronaut last summer, so Saturday's spacewalkers had snorkels in their suits and water-absorbent pads in their helmets.
To everyone's relief, the spacewalkers remained dry while outside. But midway through the excursion, Mastracchio's toes were so cold that he had to crank up the heat in his boots. Mission Control worried aloud whether it was wise to extend the spacewalk to get ahead, given Mastracchio's discomfort.
Not quite two hours later, Mastracchio had enough as he clutched the old pump. When Mission Control suggested even more get-ahead chores, he replied, "I'd like to stow this old module and kind of clean up and call it a day." He said a couple of things were bothering him, not just temperature, and declined to elaborate when asked by Mission Control what was wrong.
Flight controllers obliged him. Once the old pump was secured to a temporary location, the spacewalkers started gathering up their tools to go in.
Adding to the excitement 260 miles (418 kilometers) up, a smoke alarm went off in the space station as the astronauts toiled outside. It was quickly found to be a false alarm.
The pump replacement is a huge undertaking attempted only once before, back in 2010 on this very unit. The two astronauts who tackled the job three years ago were in Mission Control, offering guidance. Mastracchio promised to bring back a wire tie installed on the pump by the previous spacewalkers. "Oh, awesome, thanks Rick," replied the astronaut in Mission Control who put it on.
The 780-pound (354-kilogram) pump is about the size of a double-door refrigerator and extremely cumbersome to handle, with plumbing full of toxic ammonia. Any traces of ammonia on the spacesuits were dissipated before the astronauts went back inside, to avoid further contamination.
NASA's plan initially called for the pump to be disconnected in the first spacewalk, pulled out on the second spacewalk and a fresh spare put in, and then all the hookups of the new pump completed in the third outing.

Building the Body of Christ in Idaho
Construir el Cuerpo de Cristo en Idaho
We believe / Creemos
A Message from
Bishop Mike
Christ calls each of us to reflect on how we can more fully participate as His disciples and as good stewards in the mission of the Church—a mission of serving, preaching, teaching and caring for others in need. We serve all we meet not because they are Catholic, but because WE are Catholic and "We Believe" in the faith we have received. The annual Idaho Catholic Appeal allows you to share your gratitude and experience of faith with our larger Church family. Together, may we continue to build up the Catholic Church of Idaho and be proud to profess our faith in Christ Jesus, our Lord!
Most Rev. Michael P. Driscoll, M.S.W., D.D.Bishop of Idaho

Tomorrow's Barack Obama Conspiracy Theories, Today
Good news everybody, it is officially goddamned Summer, and not just because the weather has been an Al-Gore-is-melting-the-ice-caps-with-his-fatness 100 degrees everywhere in the country. It is summer because birthers have a new scandal to report.
According to World Net Daily, Susan Daniels — a 70-year-old private investigator and candidate for president, because why the hell not — has filed a suit in Ohio, demanding that Barack Obama's name be taken off the ballot until his social security number can be validated…
Daniels started her investigation in August 2009. Given her profession, she has been able to access a variety of proprietary databases. What she learned without much trouble is that Obama has been using a Social Security Number with the prefix "042" since 1986.
As she discovered, the "042" number is reserved for the exclusive use of individuals who register in Connecticut. When she ran 10 sequential numbers before and after Obama's, all returned with the documentation "issued 1977-1979 in CT."
Do we even have to decode this? Obviously this poor Connecticut woman took a vacation to Hawaii, where Obama's grandmother strangled her and replaced Barack's original 666-66-6666 SSN with a more appropriate document. Next?
Honestly, I'm getting bored with the birther and Social Security number conspiracies. How about something more exotic? Politico once reported that the president attended a press conference without his wedding ring. Has he secretly divorced Michelle? Are Anderson Cooper and the President gay married?
Similarly, the Americans who believe Obama is a Muslim are way less interesting than the 1% who think he's Mormon. Let's go with that one.

Apr 26, 2011Pretty much God of War with some different graphics and story. Very well done except in a few spots camera just didn't seem right but fully playable none the less. Call it "Cliche" but similar enough to God of War to justify a score of at least 8. The game is short (7hr) with little replay value as are almost all hack and slash games. If you take that into account and don't overpay (ie $20 or less) than I think you'll be happy.… Expand
Jan 19, 2012I wanted to like this game but I couldnt. Its too much of a God Of War rip off and does no justice took the series its based off of. Its insanely violent (which is a good thing) and it can be fun but an uneven difficulty makes it insanely hard at times (even on easy). Dont bother wasting your time on this game.
Mar 6, 2011While Conan borrows elements from god of war it's ultimately not as satisfying, the graphics make it look like a PS2 game, and the voice acting is bad, which hurts the pretty good story, controls are great, the elements it borrows from god of war are the fixed camera which never gave me a real problem, and the brutal combo based combat, my only complaints are that it's pretty short, and the plat forming sections suck, and there is no multiplayer only leader boards, all in all if you like the genre this is one you might want to try out.… Expand
Mar 26, 2012Conan was disappointing, yes, but what with the huge amount of hack 'n slash button mashers on the market today maybe I'm expecting too much. It just seems totally generic; the half-assed story nobody really cares about, laughable dialogue and unlikeable characters. The combat system is okay, as long as you're the one dealing out damage - the enemy AI is extremely poor, and if you take the time to sit back and watch them attack you, you'll see just how little effort went into it. The unlock system was fine enough, if unoriginal. There's a huge amount of gore, and some nice variation between the combos, but these aren't enough to really define Conan amongst the midst of near-identical hack 'n slashers. Add in the poor graphics and bug-riddled gameplay, and you've got a pretty lacklustre title.… Expand
Jun 21, 2012Conan is a really good game, the game helps you remember the glory of the PS2 days as it feels like it shares much of the same quality's. Great and in-depth Gameplay that also set you on an adventure. Really Enjoyed it Great Game !
Apr 25, 2012This was more enjoyable than Dante's Inferno, or any of the God of War games. The secret sauce comes from severing your enemies limbs, watching all of the blood, and leveling up the combat system. You can beat the whole game just mashing X or Y, but that isn't very much fun. Some of the boss fights were a little frustrating, but less so once you improve at the game.
Aug 3, 2014I have had this game forever and finally decided to sit down and play it a bit....I was surprised but I actually enjoyed this game more than I thought. The combat is pretty good but can get frustrating at times. Overall it was fast paced and fun, especially when you get on a roll and lay into a few guys....what was annoying sometimes though was the lack of AI attacking at times unless you attacked first, just so they could block and counter attack or whatever. which brings me to the next one, the enemies that just block block block, until you break it. That got a bit old at times.
The acting was corny but overall I thought the story was decent.
My biggest complaint about this game was the difficulty of the final boss.....what a pain in the butt.
Overall (even though I pointed out most of the things I didn't like in this review) I enjoyed the game. worth the buy if you like hack n slash, especially at how cheap you can get it for now a days.… Expand
Nov 10, 2012I really enjoyed this game. Very satisfying hacking and slashing my way through the levels. The cheesy storyline was an added bonus! If you want a cheap and cheerful hack and slash game, I personally think you can't go wrong with this one.
Jan 30, 2013A really bland third person hack-n-slash button masher. Nothing really special about it at all. A bit of a shame as the lore of the Conan universe is allot deeper than this. Overall: Nothing special, a completely forgettable game that is neither good or bad.
The lack of real depth to the combat engine means it'll never match up to the standard of its loftier genre peers, and the absence of any co-op or multiplayer mode in a game this demented is inexcusable, but it does make for a more shamelessly enjoyable blade-swinging romp than the similar but oh-so-dull "Heavenly Sword." And it has more naked boobs.
On the one hand it's highly entertaining and almost obscenely violent and crude, but for a next-gen title with a next-gen price tag it doesn't quite deliver.
Conan appeared on the Xbox 360 out of nowhere like a thief in the night, and like its titular hero, it is brutal, powerful, and very rough around the edges.

Home Learning 26.10.11
Hello Everybody,
I hope you are all well and your families are keeping safe from the flooding.
I realise that you may be very busy or away from Bangkok depending on your own personal circumstances and I understand that these will take piority over school work. However, school remains important and so home learning will be posted on the main Y6 page or on the 6L blog while school is closed. The first home learning, posted yesterday asked you to do an additional 2 or 3 activities from the Moving People home learning matrix over the next few days.
The choices below are from the matrix and have been slightly adapted so that they relate to the curent flooding situation in Bangkok. Learning is much deeper if it is about something you have experienced in real life. However, you don't have to choose from these:
- Write a set of instructions aimed at preparing people for a flood.
- Imagine you are a child who has been evacuated from home during a flood. Write a poem describing the experiences you are having and the emotions you are feeling.
- Write a newspaper report about the flooding that has happened in Bangkok.
- Create a piece of art named 'The Flood'
- Design a board game with a Flood theme.
- Design an invention that will help people in the floods.
On Monday 31st October, you will have MyMaths activities to complete and again on Thursday 3rd November. Your Maths teacher will let you know your individual login details and password by Monday. If you can't access this, please email your Maths teacher or myself and we will try to help.
The school MyMaths login is:
login: bangpat
password: square
We will also be posting additional learning tasks on the Year 6 blog and the class blog on the above dates.
Thank you,
Miss Laird
PS Any questions - please ask on the blog or email me.

PHILADELPHIA, September 9, 2010: According to a survey released today by Hay Group, a global management consultancy, 64 percent of retailers expect holiday sales will increase over 2009, a vastly brighter picture than last year when only 28 percent planned for a sales increase. The outlook for retail seasonal job applicants is also brighter, with 83 percent of retailers planning to hire more or about the same number of workers when compared to the 2009 holiday season.
However, the job market remains competitive. Forty-three percent of respondents expect to see more applicants this holiday season than in 2009, although that is a drop from 62 percent that saw more applicants last year than in 2008. Only 17 percent of retailers plan to reduce their staffing levels, a notable decrease from 40 percent in 2009.
"Retailers are more optimistic than last year headed into the 2010 holiday season. For job applicants, it means additional opportunities to make a pass, but they're still throwing the football into heavy coverage," said Craig Rowley, vice president and global practice leader for Hay Group's Retail practice.
Hay Group's survey, in its fourth year, analyzed responses from 20 major U.S. retailers including JCPenney, Abercrombie & Fitch, and Pier 1 in order to understand retailers' plans for the 2010 holiday season.
Among the highlights from the September 2010 Hay Group retail survey:
"Ultimately retailers are still planning to accommodate the recession-battered consumer, with discounts and promotions running longer throughout the season than last year," added Rowley. "But while the consumer may be more apt to spend, given retailers' strict inventory management, the early bird is most likely to get the worm."

Recognized for playing the elf prettier than Orlando Bloom in the Lord of the Rings trilogy, 'stripping' in an Aerosmith video, being obviously one of the most gorgeous women in the acting business, and her slight obsession with shoes. She's been costars with Ben Affleck more than once and can be spotted in films such as One Night at McCool's, Jersey Girl, and Armageddon.
