Thailand: Rainforest and Island Safarai 28th July
Anyone else booked onto this trip, only 7 weeks away!
It's my first trip alone abroad so extremely anxious and excited!
Yep I am booked, done a lot of these adventure tours and been to Thailand before. looking forward to it greatly! Just follow the trip notes as to what to pack etc.
Ahh at least I know theres someone else going are you flying from heathrow? Yeah i've tried to stick to the trip notes in terms of packing but no doubt ill over pack or forget something. How much roughly did you take last time for thailand, obvioulsy all the flights and hotels are included a few of my friends have been to thailand and they've said its fairly cheap, so i'm just curious at to how much will be enough to live off for 12 days.
No I'm flying from Manchester airport as it is just around the corner...and not via Heathrow. Meals are fairly cheap but then it depends if you drink beer or not, or are a compulsive shopper. I haven't thought about finances yet to be honest. The trip notes give some guidance on costs so work from that and add extra for tips and souvenirs.
Hi this is Josie and Katherine, we're going to Thailand with you too! We are flying from Heathrow, first time for both of us in Thailand and can't wait. :) We were thinking about finances too... have you guys decided how much you are taking roughly? Just looked up the first hotel which looks amazing...
Hey Josie and Katherine, I think im gunna take around £300? but its fairly cheap so hopefully wont be spending all of that on food and drink! I cant wait its like 9 days away! what time are u flying from heathrow, are you going straight to bangkok or are you on the group flights thats going via delhi? Im flying straight to bangkok on the 12.30 flight, if your on the same flight we could maybe arrange to meet at heathrow? this is my first time doing anything like this and my first time in thailand, so hopefully it all goes to plan!
Hey Wendy :)
We are flying via Mumbai, leaving about 9am I think so we'll be at Heathrow for about 7 so we'll miss you im afraid, but will see you at the other end! Josie is a pretty experienced traveller, whereas this is my first time doing anything like this too! Very excited, a little apprehensive but I think thats as it should be! I'm sure we'll be fine :) do you know how many of us there are on this trip?
Hi katherine, i have no idea how many of us there are so far i know theres four including me you josie and i think andrew that replied earlier? Im flying straight to bangkok so i guess no transfers are one less thing to worry about! im flying from newcastle wednesday night and staying in heathrow overnight to catch my plane to bangkok thursday, good luck with your travelling im sure you'll be fine! and if all things go smoothly ill see you thursday in bangkok, looking forward to meeting you both and soaking up some thailand sun!
Hi Wendy
There are currently 9 booked onto the trip. 7 on the standard trip, 2 with the Chang Mai extension.
I hope you have a great trip guys.
Sean Hughes
Customer Operations Manager
Oh brilliant, 9 is a nice number of people I think... first hotel looks amazing, have you had a look at it?
Josie lives in Newcastle too :) and she's getting the train down tomorrow and then we're both setting off from heathrow thursday morning. looking forward to a thai massage and some sunshine after a long flight!!

A federal judge says a lawsuit that accuses Bank of America of defrauding government-sponsored mortgage giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac can move ahead.
In October, the United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York filed a civil mortgage fraud lawsuit against the Charlotte-based bank and Countrywide Financial Corp., the subprime lender it acquired in July 2008. The government claims Countrywide ran a loan-origination program that resulted in more than $1 billion of taxpayer losses because of toxic home loans that were sold to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
Under the so-called "Hustle" program, loans were processed at a high speed and without quality checkpoints, which led to thousands of "fraudulent" loans that were sold to Fannie and Freddie Mac and later defaulted, the government alleges.
Bank of America had sought summary judgment, which would mean no trial. But this week, U.S. District Judge Jed Rakoff in Manhattan ruled "that there remain genuine factual disputes" in the case, allowing it to move toward trial. The reasons for the ruling will be issued "in due course," Rakoff wrote.
In an email Wednesday, Bank of America spokesman Lawrence Grayson said the Hustle program "ended before our purchase of Countrywide, as the government acknowledges. We believe there was no fraud."
Bank of America's purchase of Countrywide has already cost the nation's second-largest lender by assets billions of dollars in settlements. In a separate case, pending in New York, 22 institutional investors are awaiting approval of a proposed $8.5 billion Bank of America settlement to resolve claims stemming from Countrywide loans.
The Hustle lawsuit was the first civil fraud case brought by the U.S. Department of Justice over mortgage loans sold to Fannie or Freddie.
It's not the only mortgage-related case Bank of America is fighting. This month, the Justice Department and the Securities and Exchange Commission, in two lawsuits, said the bank defrauded investors who bought securities backed by prime mortgages that eventually soured and concealed information about the true risks of the loans. The bank has said that the securities were sold to "sophisticated" investors "who had ample access to the underlying data."

Apparently I am feeling very sexual lately; I've noticed that something like my last ten blogs are about vulvas, pleasuring of vulvas, blow jobs, and hand jobs. Oh, well, I guess I'm on a roll. Let's talk blow jobs to the point of being an artist- an artist of blow jobs. (Really, we ought to change the name. Calling it a "job" gives it a bad rap.) Below are my personal tips for giving an amazing blow job (for lack of a better term- now taking suggestions of what else to call it). (more…)

Diabetes Late Nite Inspired by Miranda Lambert
in Health
The happy healthcare host, Mr. Divabetic wants to help empower you to manage your diabetes with confidence, knowledge and inspiration from Miranda Lambert.
Miranda Lambert is one of the biggest names in the industry, but she knows she isn't perfect. The multi-time Female Vocalist of the Year winner says not winning 'Nashville Star' in 2003 was the best thing that could have happened. It gave her time to mature as an artist, and to write and record songs that she believed in.
One of Miranda's favorite lyrics on her fifth studio album titled "Platinum" is 'imagine a fighter with a centerfold face." Miranda says, "that's how I picture all of my friends. They're strong — and gorgeous. They make me proud."
Miranda Lambert and her album, Platinum are inspiring us to talk about the high cost of living with diabetes. "When you're in the industry and you hear 'platinum' you think platinum album, says Miranda. "But platinum is a lot of things: it's hair, it's diamonds and platinum, it's Bud Light Platinum, it's the color of an Airstream."
Diabetes Late Nite guests include Patricia Addie-Gentle RN, CDE, Dr. Beverly S. Adler PhD, CDE, Neva White DNP, CRNP, CDE, Poet Lorraine Brooks, Author Kim Boykin, the founder of thebetes.org, Marina Tsaplina and Mama Rose Marie.
We're playing selected songs from Miranda Lambert's new album, "Platinum" courtesy of SONY MUSIC.

Diabetes Late Nite Inspired by Lisa Stansfield
in Health
Tonight the happy healthcare host, Mr. Divabetic and his guests want to help empower you to manage your diabetes with confidence, knowledge and inspiration from Lisa Stansfield.
In the late 80's and throughout the 90's, Lisa Stansfield was one of the coolest popstars on the planet.

Mistakes teach important lessons. Every time you make one, you're one step closer to your goal: optimum health.There's no room for shame or blame when you're able to accept your diagnosis. Let us help empower you to look back at your life with the satisfaction of knowing that diabetes didn't dim your dazzle!

Islam in the Philippines
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
- This article is about the religion of Islam in the Philippines. For the Muslim ethnic group, see Moro (ethnic group).
Part of a series on
Islam in Americas
Islam is the oldest recorded monotheistic religion in the Philippines. Islam reached the Philippines between the 12th and 14th century with the arrival of Arab traders from Saudi Arabia and their followers from several sultanate governments in the Malay Archipelago. Today Muslims form 5% to 10% of the Philippine population, while the majority of the population are Roman Catholic, some ethnic groups are Protestant, non-religious, Buddhist, Animist and Hindus.
In 1380 Karim ul' Makhdum the first Arabian Islamic missionary reached the Sulu Archipelago and Jolo in the Philippines and established Islam in the country. In 1390 the Minangkabau's Prince Rajah Baguinda and his followers preached Islam on the islands.[1] The Sheik Karimal Makdum Mosque was the first mosque established in the Philippines on Simunul in Mindanao in the 14th century. Subsequent settlements by Arab missionaries traveling to Malaysia and Indonesia helped strenghtened Islam in the Philippines and each settlements was governed by a Datu, Rajah and a Sultan. Islamic provinces founded in the Philippines included the Sultanate of Maguindanao, Sultanate of Sulu and other parts of the southern Philippines.
Moro (similar to 'Moors') is the appellation inherited from the Spaniards, for Filipino muslims and tribal groups. The Moros seeks to establish an independent Islamic province in the Mindanao and Visayas region. The term Bangsamoro a combination of the Old Malay-Spanish language word Moro inherited from al-Andalus in Spain. A significant amount of Moro rebellion occurred during the Philippine-American War in 1899. Conflicts and rebellion has continued in the Philippines beginning from the pre-colonial period and right up to the present.
Islam has seen a significant growth in the Philippines since the end of World War II. Filipino Muslim communities has built many new mosques and religious schools in the 21st century, and hajj pilgrimages have increased.[2]
Muslim Mindanao
The Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM) is the region of the Philippines that is composed of all the Philippines' predominantly Muslim provinces, namely: Basilan (except Isabela City), Lanao del Sur, Maguindanao, Sulu and Tawi-Tawi, and the Islamic City of Marawi. It is the only region that has its own government. The regional capital is at Cotabato City, although this city is outside of its jurisdiction.

Future of the Mike Fink Unknown
COVINGTON, Ky. (Joe Webb) -- The Covington riverfront looks a little naked Tuesday.
The Mike Fink Restaurant, that had sat empty for five years, finally packed up and moved from the spot it had held since the 1960's.
"I think it looks much better without the Mike Fink," Hannah Terry said as she walked her sheltie, Roo, along Riverside Drive.
"I think it was a little rundown. It looks cleaner, neater now."
The 77-year-old stern wheeler was a thriving restaurant until 2008 when it was hauled upriver and given a new hull. A planned interior renovation on its return never happened. Despite several plans to reopen, it stayed closed.
The city of Covington gave the owners until the first of this year to vacate. Weather and river conditions postponed that. Monday afternoon, Captain Alan Bernstein took the towboat Shirley B and pushed the Mike Fink to its temporary location at BB Riverboats. Bernstein's father Ben bought the Mike Fink in 1977.
"Well, it was sad. The boat's been there since the middle '60's," Bernstein said Tuesday morning. "It's just another chapter in the life of the Mike Fink."
On Tuesday crews secured the Mike Fink to the floating BB Riverboats complex in Newport. Once power is restored, they will clean it and assess its future. Bernstein says there are three viable options:
1. Return to Covington as a restaurant
2.Become office space for the BB Riverboats operation
3. Move upriver as part of the Newport on the Levee Complex.
The city of Covington says the door is open for the Mike Fink to return. That would require a new lease and extensive work on the river bank. Converting it to offices would allow BB to get rid of some existing barges including the old Crockett's location.
Bernstein says the Levee option is the least likely of the three.

Framing Alert: Geithner Avoids 'Toxic' Embraces 'Legacy'
Stay up to date with the latest headlines via email.
In a Wall Street Journal op-ed this morning, Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner offers some analysis on his response to the banking crisis. He takes care to avoid to "t" word.
Today, we are announcing another critical piece of our plan to increase the flow of credit and expand liquidity. Our new Public-Private Investment Program will set up funds to provide a market for the legacy loans and securities that currently burden the financial system.
And what are "legacy loans and securities"? They're toxic assets, with a more pleasant sounding name.
As Jake Tapper asks, "Note that, branding experts?"
Likewise, the Treasury Department unveiled a new fact sheet on the new proposal, which uses the word "legacy" 40 times.
There's only so many ways to spin "toxic."
Steve Benen is "blogger in chief" of the popular Washington Monthly online blog, Political Animal . His background includes publishing The Carpetbagger Report, and writing for a variety of publications, including Talking Points Memo, The American Prospect, the Huffington Post, and The Guardian. He has also appeared on NPR's "Talk of the Nation," MSNBC's "Rachel Maddow Show," Air America Radio's "Sam Seder Show," and XM Radio's "POTUS '08."

Everyone's searching for a business model that works in the new media world.
Well, how about this one? Getting paid, instead of letting everyone see (and copy) your content for free.
Yes, a crazy thought — actually having customers pay for a service.
But, two business-to-business players recently shifted from ad-centric models to license fees and are starting to turn a profit. Those companies are production shop WatchMojo.com and platform company Magnify.net.
For all the details on how they did it and what other new media businesses can learn, check out this week's New Media Minute with Daisy Whitney.

I've brewed several all grain beers, and lately I've been curious about what would happen if I used Victory or biscuit malt for a very large portion of my grain bill (50+?). I like the taste of these two malts, and I think it could be fun to make a beer that tastes like biscuits - but I can't find any references to other brewers attempting such a concoction.
What could (would?) go wrong? Supposedly Victory has the diastatic power to convert itself; would I still get a lot of unfermentables? Any thoughts on taste or hops? Has anyone tried it?
I've heard that it does not have the diastatic power to convert itself, but it seems that it might be able to be converted if you have a base malt with enough diastatic power. Maybe do 50/50 6-row/victory? I'm curious to see how this turns out.
Victory has a Lintner value of about 50L.
If 1 pound of malt needs 30L just to convert itself, Victory has 20L extra (enough to convert 2/3 of a pound of a malt with 0 Lintner, like chocolate or crystal).
There are reasons it's not used as a base malt. One is it is low in diastastic power, and so won't self convert. The second is flavor. A quarter pound is very noticeable in a 5 gallon batch- 1 pound would be extremely "dry" tasting in the finish. More than about a pound or so would be nearly undrinkablee.
So Yooper, could I get your opinion on the topic below? I was going to use 20% Victory, but that sounds like you would caution against that?http://www.homebrewtalk.com/f12/b-c-...6/#post4547487
I misread the first post, sorry.. Maybe this will help:
9 pounds pale malt (lowest value 40L) 9lb X 40 = 360
2 pounds victory 2lb X 0 = 0
2oz chocolate .12lb X 0 = 0
total 360L
360 L is enough to convert about 12 pounds of grain
Good example, but I think the OP was looking to do higher than 20% victory. For the beer I am doing I am not too worried about diastatic power. I am more worried about what yooper said about flavor.
blaaaaahhh!!! 50+ % victory malt? have you had a nut brown ale that has a distinct nutty flavor? ok, now amplify that by 8-10 times...

2: Roasted ESB (mistake by the LHBS in recipe)

Kenyan boy invents system to protect cattle from lion attacks
Richard Turere is a 13 year old Maasai boy who, since age nine, has had to help protect the family cattle herd from lions. But there's only so much you can do to keep a lion from eating a cow, and often the lions would attack in the middle of the night when there was no way to stop them. However, Richard noticed that if he walked around the cattle pen with a flashlight, the lions would stay away, so a couple of years ago, he came up with an automated lighting system to deter the attacks.
Richard's Lion Lights use LED flashlights rigged up to a car battery and some switches that flash the lights in random patters to simulate the effect of somebody walking with a light around the cattle pen. Since he rigged up the system there hasn't been a single lion attack. What's really impressive is that Richard figured out how to wire the system up with no electronics training of any kind, he just tinkered with things until it all worked. He even included a solar panel that recharges the battery during the day under the bright African sun.
Richard's ingenuity impressed local conservationists so much, that they arranged for him to get a scholarship at the prestigious Brookhouse International School so he could continue his studies. They feel that Richard's Lion Lights could help to save Kenya's shrinking lion population, by convincing farmers to stop killing the animals to protect their livestock.
Richard has been invited to be a guest speaker at next week's TED 2013 Conference in California. It's all pretty heady stuff for a 13 year old cattle herder from Kenya.

Beautiful wedding invites
Fun & Fresh Pocket Invitations The invites are awesome! Easy to fold, looks great, feels great! Shipping was fast took about 1 week! I choose pink, green and black and they came out great! The font was great also! Looks even better then on the computer!
Great invitation, get a sample
Be Merry Pocket Invitations I just received my invitations and was so happy with how they turned out! Of course I was a little skeptical having ordered them online but when I opened the box I was very excited! I would recommend, however, that you request a free sample packet. This gives you a great feel for the paper quality as well as the colors. When I first created my invitations online I used a color that looked good on the screen but when I consulted my sample packet I saw that it really did look different on paper. Other than the extra step of ordering a sample the design process was very simple and I am very happy with how my invitations turned out!

CTV News Channel
The head of Canada's largest bank offered reassurances Friday that it is well prepared to deal with slower growth in some areas, like retail banking, as it reported a record third-quarter profit boosted largely by a surge in its capital markets division.
Improved profits at Royal Bank of Canada during the second quarter helped drive its stock price to an all-time high on Thursday.
Canada's banks are its most valuable corporate brands, with Royal Bank (TSX:RY) at the very top, according to an annual list from business consultancy Brand Finance and Report on Business Magazine.
Royal Bank of Canada reports it had $2.119 billion of net income in its fiscal fourth quarter, an 11 per cent increase from last year, contributing to a record annual profit in 2013.
Royal Bank of Canada president and CEO Gordon Nixon announced Thursday that he will retire on Aug. 1, 2014 after 13 years as head of Canada's largest bank.
Royal Bank of Canada says it's grappling with changes to how Ottawa taxes individual life insurance policies.
Canada's largest bank says it's committing itself to provide $100 million in donations over five years to improve the well-being of children and youth.
Royal Bank, Canada's largest bank by assets, earned a record $2.3 billion or $1.52 per share in the three months ended July 31, up from $2.24 billion, or $1.47 per share, in the same period a year earlier.
The Royal Bank of Canada, which faced fierce backlash earlier this year over an outsourcing arrangement with a supplier that used temporary foreign workers, said Friday it won't send work offshore just to save on salaries.
After news of RBC's outsourcing of jobs caused a nationwide outcry, one small Alberta town said it depends on foreign workers to fill jobs that Canadians refuse.
RBC broke the first rule of public relations, failing to plan for the possibility that employees whose jobs were being outsourced would be upset and take their complaints public, says one PR expert.

Millenium Blue Wheel MKII - 100mm wheel with no brake. Maximum load: 140kg, Base plate 102 x 84 mm, Height 128 mm, Distance between holes in baseplate 80 x 60 mm, Wheel width 36 mm, made in Germany
I have these attached to a flightcase housing a rather expensive amp & I have complete faith in them! Solid, sturdy & smooth wheels.
Do you believe this rating to be inaccurate or unacceptable for some reason?
Do the job perfectly. The can mark wooden floors but that can be solved by putting a layer of masking tape over the wheel
A brilliant buy. These rubberised casters are quiet, and glide over most bumpy surfaces with ease. Recommended for anyone considering casters for bass bins or assembling a trolley for heavy loads.
I mounted two of these wheels (and two with breaks) under my amp rack. the price is stunning, just as the quality. try to find something similar in a DIY shop, you can pay 3-4 times as much.Absolute quality
I have mounted four of these (two with brakes) to my cable case because it was cheaper than to buy an already equipped one. And this one with all its content is heavy. With these sturdy heavy duty 100mm casters the case is running very smooth even on rough surfaces. Next thing to build is a trolley board (something you can always use) and my bass cabinets will get them too. These wheels seems to last forever and are highly recommended as a replacement or supplement for heavy cases or speaker cabinets. So let the good (and heavy) things roll.

Water regulators approve historic bay cleanup
SAN DIEGO – The San Diego Regional Water Control Board approved an unprecedented San Diego Bay cleanup project Wednesday.
The board is moving forward with its recommendation to remove 60 acres of polluted sediment near the shipyards south of the San Diego-Coronado Bridge.
"Right now in San Diego Bay, people take a significant risk when it comes to eating the fish that they catch from the bay," Regional Water Quality Control Board Executive Officer David Gibson said.
"These pollutants go back more than 20 years," Gibson said. "They include PCB's, Mercury, Lead, Zinc and poly-aromatic-hydrocarbons."
After nearly two decades, government regulators determined General Dynamics NASSCO, SDG&E, BAE Systems, the City of San Diego, the US Navy, the Port Authority District and Campbell Shipyards should be held responsible for the project.
Representatives from several agencies discussed who should pay for majority of the cleanup during a board meeting Wednesday.
"NASSCO does not object to paying its fair share of the properly billed oversight cost. We just have some questions about that cost," said Kelly Richardson, a lawyer representing General Dynamics NASSCO.
"The port district is a public government entity and there is no evidence in the record that the port district initiated or contributed to the actual discharge to the shipyard sediment sight," Ellen Gross with the San Diego Port Authority District said.
The responsible parties will have to work together to come up with a plan to clean up the pollution.
Most likely, that will mean dredging and using sand to cap polluted areas under the docks.
The Regional Water Quality Control Board requires all of the responsible parties to show how they will comply in the next 90 days.
The work could start as early as September.Copyright © 2014, Sun Sentinel

Activity Report from Moving the GoalpostsKenya
Moving the Goalposts (MTG), a program that encourages the increased participation of Kenyan women in society, invited 12 young women to participate in this training program. Participants used cameras for the first time and were given an opportunity to take photos. The training also served as an opportunity for participating staffers to improve their instructional skills.
Activity Report from Moving the Goalposts Kenya
In order to give media training to the young women in the community, Moving the Goalpost's (MTG) staff were taught how to use their cameras. They learned basic skills of photography and for their first assignment were told to take up to 50 pictures of their community. The goal of this assignment was to learn to adjust settings such as brightness and focus, as well as other features such as panoramic photography.
The training continues to teach how to take photos which can tell a story. They also had a field work to document their local communities
Participating staff learned how to tell stories through selecting and editing their photos. They learned that photographs can have a stronger emotional impact than words, and that as a photographer it's important not only to determine the message one wants to send, but also how they want the viewer to understand that message.
Staff members participated in the video training. They experienced how to document their organization's activities including storyboarding, filming, and editing. They will be able to use these skills on the organization's website in order to improve the quality of their communication.
Next, the staff applied the skills that they had learned in order to teach the young ladies participating in the project. It was first time seeing a camera for the majority of participants. The training session covered the definition of a camera and its parts, and gave the participants opportunity to examine the camera. Each participant got involved in taking photos.
"The training was very helpful, because I did not have skills to select which pictures are ideal to be used in a report. During this training I have realized the importance of combining fun and messages". Esther Baya

On Saturday night Michelle and I cruised up to the cottage in a big, black Hummer. It was so cool! I never realised how big those vehicles were until I was sitting in one. Unfortunately Alexa didn't come with us as she has been sick lately and so has been resting up. She is now alot better and apparently it was just a virus that has been going around.
Michelle and I have been spending most of our time up at the cottage and alot of her family have been up there too. It was a full house the other night with around 15 of us all staying there. Today we all swam across the lake and back. I was so tired after and it took about 10-15 minutes each way.
Well I have started planning the week long celebrations here for my birthday and I have figured out I will be turning 18 on the 2nd of August at 2:26pm here. We are spending my birthday in the city and having a BBQ at Alexa's and then for my last weekend we will be going to the cottage for some Dunany Partying.
Love to all and see you all soonish.
Love Chelsea
