Fire in the Hole
Any product whose tagline is "Use With Reckless Abandon" and is coupled with the brand's concept of various levels and flavors of hot sauce, you've got my undivided attention.
This new revelation is K-Sauce.
We came across this liquid nectar of the gods at ArtDenver and two days later I found myself at Tony's Market picking up a few bottles. It's now a usual suspect on my eggs, black beans, salad, chicken and veggies.
K-Sauce found its way to the main stage as the brainchild of Keenan Lee Adams. I'm going to go ahead and call him a child pepper prodigy because from an early age, Keenan was obsessed with sauces and spices. It got to the point where his father suggested he start creating his own hot sauce so it could perfectly meet his taste requirements and his finicky, fiery palate. It was then that Keenan's K-Sauce was born.
Present day there are now five K-sauces that are commercially available, each very unique and very different from other hot sauces on the market.
So what's all the fuss about with this heavenly heat in a bottle? K-Sauce takes an entirely different approach than the typical vinegary, thin sauces. Fresh produce, the finest peppers you can find anywhere and premium spices combine for thick, complex sauces that are designed to enhance any food with fascinating flavors. It's hand-crafted in small batches and is all natural with no preservatives, artificial thickeners or colorings.
From Original, Mean Green and Be Afraid! to our two personal favorites in Sunshine Mango and Chipotle, there's something for everyone on the heat scale.

Thoreau and the value of mangrovesBy KENNEDY WARNE
There are no mangroves in Massachusetts. What brought me to New England was a mangrove expert at Harvard, a photographer in Lexington and a pond in Concord.
Harvard ecologist Aaron Ellison edited a major review of mangrove knowledge in 2008 and has as good a grasp of the big mangrove picture as anyone I've met. (He also bakes mean ginger cookies.) One of the subjects we discussed was the growth of ecological economics, a discipline which attempts to assign a monetary value to the ecological "goods and services" provided by organisms and habitats. Mangroves, for example, might be valued at so many dollars per hectare for their contribution to erosion control, so many dollars for fish nursery services, carbon storage, wave mitigation, crab food, migratory bird roosts, and so on.
Aaron is wary of taking this utilitarian approach to conservation. He argues that treating nature as a resource—an apparently inexhaustible resource—is what has got us into the mess we're in, so how can assigning a dollar value to nature's various components get us out of it? He showed me an editorial from a recent issue of the journal Conservation Biology, in which Matthew Child contends that the conservation movement is becoming bogged down in "soulless financial rhetoric."
"Conservation was never meant to become another latch in the ratchet of progress," writes Child. "Its primary purpose has always been to transcend the notion of economic progress."
Thoreau, says Child, "would have balked at the tragic incongruence of conservationists using an economic framework to justify the existence of the movement. He was an unapologetic and nonviolent freedom fighter for nature who decried the societal dictum that 'fruits are not ripe until they are turned to dollars.'"
The gist of his argument is that if conservationists want to sup with the devil of capitalist economics they'd better use a pretty long spoon.
Thoreau's literal stamping ground was Walden Pond, and that very morning I had made a dawn visit to the pond with photographer Tim Laman. Tim was my collaborator on the National Geographic mangrove story that launched me on this journey. Catching up with him in Lexington was the first chance I'd had to see the hundreds of outtakes that weren't published in the magazine: tigers in the Sundarbans, trees packed with scarlet ibis in Trinidad, mud crabs in Indonesia that are so large they have to be speared rather than captured by hand—they would take your fingers off.
We spent the evening savouring pictures and dreaming of publishing a coffee-table book of mangrove photography and got up early to visit Walden, just a few miles from Tim's house.
I peeked in the windows of the replica cabin-in-the-woods with its three chairs—"one for solitude, two for friendship, three for company"—and added a stone to one of the memorial cairns near the site of the original hut, where an inscription over the old fireplace says, in typical Thoreauvian prose, "Go thou my incense upward from this hearth."
Walden is still a place of solitude, despite the hum of commuter traffic through the trees. The only people besides us were swimmers, wetsuited against the cold, and a lone sculler taking the morning freshness. We looked for pink ladyslipper orchids, which flower at this time of year, and Tim was pleased to find a photogenic pair of blooms not far from the walking path.
Thoreau's contribution to the environmental movement is beyond measuring. It was he who wrote the call to arms for nature's defenders, "In wildness is the preservation of the world." I am glad for the chance to visit the site that spawned such thoughts, before heading to Cuba to see the state of wildness and preservation in the mangroves there.

Sikh temple shooting suspect identified as Wade Michael Page; Motivation unclear
Last updated 4:16 p.m. ET
(CBS/AP) OAK CREEK, Wis. - The gunman who killed six people at a Sikh temple in Wisconsin before being shot to death by police was identified Monday as a 40-year-old Army veteran and former leader of a white supremacist heavy metal band.
Wade Michael Page strode into the temple carrying a 9mm handgun and multiple magazines of ammunition and opened fire without saying a word, authorities said.
When the shooting at the Sikh Temple of Wisconsin in suburban Milwaukee ended, six victims ranging in age from 39 to 84 years old lay dead. Three others were critically wounded.
According to sources in the Army, Page enlisted in April 1992 and was a repairmen for the Hawk missile system before switching jobs to become one of the Army's psychological operations specialists assigned to a battalion at Fort Bragg, N.C.
As a psyops specialist, Page would have trained to host public meeting between locals and American forces, use leaflet campaigns in a conflict zone or use loudspeakers to communicate with enemy soldiers.
He never deployed overseas while serving in that role, Pentagon spokesman George Wright said.
Page was demoted in June 1998 for getting drunk while on duty and going AWOL, two defense officials said, speaking on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to release information about the gunmen.
Page also received extra duty and was fined. The defense officials said they had no other details about the incident, such as how long Page was gone or whether he turned himself in.
Mark Potok, a senior fellow at the nonprofit civil rights organization in Montgomery, Ala., said Page had been on the white-power music scene for more than a decade, playing in bands known as Definite Hate and End Apathy.
"The name of the band seems to reflect what he went out and actually did," said Potok. The music often includes lyrics that discuss genocide against Jews and other minorities.
In a 2010 interview, Page told a white supremacist website that he became active in white-power music in 2000, when he left his native Colorado and started the band End Apathy in 2005.
He told the website his "inspiration was based on frustration that we have the potential to accomplish so much more as individuals and a society in whole," according to the law center. He did not mention violence.
End Apathy's MySpace page said the group was based in Nashville, N.C.
Wade was killed outside the temple in a shootout with police officers after the rampage that left terrified congregants hiding in closets and others texting friends outside for help.
Officials had previously described the suspect as a heavy-set, 40-year-old Caucasian with numerous tattoos.
Sources tell CBS News some unspecified evidence suggests race or ethnicity may have played a role in the violence, but no links to extremist groups have been confirmed.

Local police called the attack an act of domestic terrorism, but other sources tell CBS News correspondent Bob Orr it may be more accurate to refer to "an investigation into a possible hate crime."
Neither local nor federal sources provided further details or suggested a possible motive, including whether the suspect specifically targeted the Sikh temple.
The bodies of the victims are with the Milwaukee County Medical Examiner, reports CBS Affiliate WDJT. Autopsies will be performed today.
Late Sunday, the investigation appeared to move beyond the temple as police, federal agents and the county sheriff's bomb squad swarmed a neighborhood in nearby Cudahy, evacuating several homes and searching a duplex. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives agent Tom Ahern said warrants were being served at the home of the gunman.
Records show that Page was the registered inhabitant at an apartment in South Milwaukee from December 2011 until the present.
CBS News correspondent Ben Tracy reports Page is only believed to have lived at the residence for two weeks, according to neighbors.
"Nobody has really seen him," neighbor Alma Rayes tells CBS News. "We heard here and there that they've been doing a lot of arguing, between him and another female, but I haven't seen him."
"He did not speak, he just began shooting," said Harpreet Singh, relaying a description of the attack from the wife of his uncle, temple president Satwant Singh Kaleka.
Singh said Satpal Kaleka told him she was in the front room when the shooter walked in. She said the 6-foot-tall bald white man who worshippers said they had never before seen at the temple seemed like he had a purpose and knew where he was going.
Oak Creek Police Chief John Edwards said police expected to release more information Monday. He said the FBI will lead the investigation because the shootings are being treated as domestic terrorism, or an attack that originated inside the U.S.
"While the FBI is investigating whether this matter might be an act of domestic terrorism, no motive has been determined at this time," Teresa Carlson, Special Agent in Charge with the agency's Milwaukee division, said in a statement Sunday night.
Edwards said the gunman "ambushed" one of the first officers to arrive at the temple as the officer, a 20-year veteran with tactical experience, tended to a victim outside. A second officer then exchanged gunfire with the suspect, who was fatally shot. Police had earlier said the officer who was shot killed the suspected shooter.
Sikh rights groups have reported a rise in bias attacks since the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. The Washington-based Sikh Coalition has reported more than 700 incidents in the U.S. since 9/11, which advocates blame on anti-Islamic sentiment. Sikhs are not Muslims, but their long beards and turbans often cause them to be mistaken for Muslims, advocates say.
Even though the gunman's motives were a mystery Sunday, Kaur said the shootings reopened wounds in a community whose members have found themselves frequent targets of hate-based attacks since Sept. 11.
"We are experiencing it as a hate crime," she said. "Every Sikh American today is hurting, grieving and afraid."

I love Answered Prayers
First off, Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ are a huge part of my life. I know everyone has different views on what they believe and I respect that. It seems there are times in our lives where we need extra prayers and we tend to pray a little more when things are a little rough or questionable and pray a little less when things are going well and smooth.
I hope I can learn someday to always have a prayer in my heart and be mindful of my amazing Father in Heaven. Lately we have been praying a lot to have things work out the way we hope for them to. I hope that my desires of what I want and what our family wants line up with my Heavenly Father's Plan for us. I believe no matter where we are, we can help others and help impact their lives for good.
Lead me, Guide me, walk beside me, help me find the way, teach me all that I must do to live with Him someday.
My boys (my kiddos) have done that for me lately. Whether it is locking my keys in the car, my battery dead in the middle of a blizzard or I lost something and need to find it, they are always there saying, "Mom, lets pray." And Always my prayer is answered. Help arrives as we say amen, or I get the inspiration I need to help me and my little family. I am grateful for the faith of these children I call mine. What a beautiful gift from heaven they are to me. They help me become a better person everyday, even when I have set backs and struggle they are there to lift me a long the way just like my Loving Heavenly Father does.
God is good and he loves us and wants to be apart of our lives. He is just a prayer away.

Sticker shock from your Harris County property tax bill?
A series of public workshops this month are designed to help homeowners understand property tax protests, property tax exemptions and payment agreements for delinquent tax bills.
Houston's hot real estate market and rising home prices mean residences across Harris County are worth more. Higher values and top prices for home sellers mean skyrocketing property appraisals. (In fact, 2013 was a record year for single-family home sales).
The property tax workshops are open to the public.
Tax Assessor-Collector Mike Sullivan, Harris County Appraisal District (HCAD) officials and Harris County commissioners are participating in the sessions.
The workshops will prepare property owners "to lower their tax burden," Sullivan said in a news release.
The last day to file a property tax protest is June 2.
Workshops in the next two weeks:
- May 13: 6:30 p.m. | Bayland Community Center, 6400 Bissonnet, Houston, 77074 (Precinct 3)
- May 20: 10 a.m. and 6:30 p.m. | Finnegan Park Community Center, 4900 Providence, Houston, 77020 (Precinct 1)
- May 22: 6:30 p.m. | Bay Area Community Center, 5002 E. NASA Parkway, Seabrook, 77586 (Precinct 2)
(A Precinct 4 session happened on Wednesday morning at the Mangum-Howell Center.)
Residents with questions about the property tax workshops can call 713-368-2000 or email firstname.lastname@example.com. Click here for an Advocate entry explaining Harris County property tax exemptions.
Harris County has more than 1 million residential properties on the books in the nation's third most-populous county and nearly 65,000 commercial properties including apartment complexes. According to HCAD, nearly 30 percent of the county's homeowners saw their property values increase from 2012 to 2013. Last year, nearly 285,700 property owners protested their home valuations.
According to the Associated Press, the property tax burden on homeowners statewide has grown from 45 percent to 54 percent since 2000, while the share paid by commercial and industrial owners fell to less than 20 percent, in part, a September 2013 report said, because a rising number of businesses successfully challenged their valuations and drove down their tax bills.

Radiant Floor Overview
Radiant heating systems convert a floor into a large area, low-temperature radiator. Warm water is circulated through closely spaced plastic tubing that is embedded in the floor slab or attached to the underside of wooden subflooring. Underfloor insulation is a critical component. Zoning depends on advanced manifolds that regulate flow or modulate the water temperature in different tubing runs. Sophisticated controls regulate the system using temperature sensors in the slab in each room being heated as well as outdoors. [Read more]

Kids Pouf it comes to couches and chairs in our home, children can find them quite hard to climb and enjoy. Kids love to have their own small and medium chairs to sit on. Having a smaller chair is much more comfortable for children than having to be supported by an adult-sized chairman. Creating a soft child's chair is a rather cuddly project that will give your child a comfortable seating option for all occasions. Foam to size. Cut two small pieces for the base that measures 16 inches deep and 28 inches wide. It cut a piece of foam measuring 30-inches tall and 28-inches wide for the back of the chair. Cut two pieces for the arms measuring 16 inches long and six inches wide.
Glue the ground together. Apply a thick layer of hot glue to the top of a base pillow. Rough up both base sections and squeeze them on top of the other. Attach weapons to the Kids Pouf base. The chair weapon should be placed along the outer edge of the base pad. These will be a sitting area that measures 16-inches by 16-inches. Glue these weapons into place with a thick layer of hot glue. Attach the back of the chair to the base. Apply a thick layer of hot glue along the back of the base structure and the back of the arms. Line up the base on the back with the floor line and press it in place.
15 Photos Gallery of: Making Soft Kids Pouf
Cover the Kids Pouf with fabric using hot melt to attack it to foam. Begin with the bottom of the chair, and wind the fabric from the front underneath the seat, and cover the entire backing of the chair. Continue wrapping the chair in the fabric by working from below on the area of the chair, and wind the fabric over the sides, arms, base, and back across the opposite arm and side until the fabric reaches the bottom of the chair. Painting furniture to your child's room is a cost effective way to decorate. In addition, the sentimental value of handcrafting is something for your child to only increase over time, still increasing in value long after they grow out of the chair and give it to their own children. This is a family clan in the present.

Is There Something Between Selena Gomez + Austin Mahone?
Ohhh snap. This could be the ultimate move to make Justin Bieber jealous. There is some talk that Selena Gomez and teen heartthrob Austin Mahone are getting cozy, but don't get too excited. It seems as though the two stars are just good buddies.
According to an E! News source, "They're really good friends and have a lot of fun together." It sure seemed that way when both Gomez and Mahone were seen out together with a group of friends in Disneyland on Wednesday, where Selena was sporting a pair of Minnie Mouse ears! Though they may not be dating or even interested in each other, there is a small chance that a new love was kindled. Disney is a magical place, after all!
Honestly, we have to admit these rumors are far-fetched, mostly because we think Selena needs to start dating men (not boys!) her age. Plus, Gomez seems to have finally ended whatever was left of her relationship with Justin Bieber and she needs time to herself for goodness sakes! Of course, since she's such a beautiful and talented lady, rumors will be flying about who she's seeing until there is concrete evidence that she is dating a new man.
Austin himself even admitted in an interview with MTV News that he doesn't have time for a girlfriend because of his hectic travel schedule, so you can breathe easy Mahomies!

A new working paper from Harvard Business School suggests that reflection aids performance. Set aside 15 minutes to write at the end of the workday to better your productivity at work.
Setting aside 15 minutes to write at the end of the workday can make you more productive at work. According to a new working paper from Harvard Business School, reflection aids performance. Reflection is identified to be the critical component of learning. The most telling example comes from the field experiment with an Indian outsourcing company called Wipro.
The researchers primarily focused on the role of doing (experience) in fostering progress over time. According to HBS professor Francesca Gino, when people have the opportunity to reflect, they experience a boost in self-efficacy. They feel more confident that they can achieve things. As a result, they put more effort into what they're doing and what they learn.
The Research
In the experiment, the researchers put new employees into groups where people either reflected on their days or didn't. One of the groups were given a paper journal and were asked to spend 15 minutes to write about what went well that day. The activity was done for 10 days.
The journaling employees had 22.8 per cent increase in performance than the other group. According to the researchers, this practice can be easily replicated across industries.
You can keep the learning in your head, but it will be better to write it down. So, you just need to take 15 minutes of your time to reflect on the day's successes in order to incorporate the lessons learnt into the next day.
The Benefits of Writing your Experiences
Researchers and more scientific evidences have supported the idea of writing about your life experiences and its effects. It has been found to improve academic performance, make managing work easier and also improving memory. Below are the reasons why you should consider keeping a journal.
Goal Tracker
When you keep a journal and re-read it, it will give you an appreciation for how much has been accomplished toward meeting goals. It gives your motivation levels and self-esteem a strong boost.
When you are down, a journal can help you get back on your feet. Writing down your problems and solutions can inspire you to find the way out of the problem.
Problem Solving
Everyone has problems, and sometimes, it is just not that easy to deal with it. By writing your problems down, you can make your subconscious mind to work on the problem while the conscious mind gets on with regular activities.
Memory Boost
A journal has the details of an event and when you write them down, your thoughts tend to be fresh. It becomes a valuable aid to memory; even those who have exceptional recollection capacity may not remember all the details of the event when it happened.
Keeping a journal can bring out a lot of good things. It won't take much of your time, and gradually you will understand and appreciate how it is affecting your life for good.

Jarrett Hill caught this paragraph, which appears to have been lifted nearly verbatim from the speech Michelle gave at the 2008 Democratic Convention.
If you're unable to watch the video, Melania said: "From a young age, my parents impressed on me the values that you work hard for what you want in life; that your word is your bond; that you do what you say, and keep your promise; that you treat people with respect; they taught and showed me values and morals in their daily life. That is a lesson that I continue to pass along to our son. And we need to pass those lessons on to the many generations to follow. Because we want our children in this nation to know that the only limit to your achievements is the strength of your dreams and your willingness to work for them."
That's almost exactly what Michelle Obama said in 2008. Of course, it's highly likely that someone else wrote the speech, though Melania did say earlier in the day that she wrote it "with as little help as possible." That will probably change in the morning, but the Republican National Convention just somehow got even more surreal.

Binge eating disorder is a psychological illness characterised by frequently eating excessive amounts of food, often when not hungry.
Feelings of guilt, disgust and depression often follow a bingeing episode. Binge eating disorder is not the same as overeating, as it is recurrent and more serious.
Binge eating disorder is similar to — but not the same — as bulimia nervosa. Where people experiencing bulimia nervosa will partake in purging activities after bingeing (such as self-induced vomiting, fasting, over-exercising and/or the misuse of laxatives, enemas or diuretics), binge eating disorder is characterised by an absence of purging, despite experiencing similar feelings of intense guilt, shame and self-hatred after binges.
While a lack of purging is evident, a person experiencing binge eating disorder will often participate in sporadic fasts and repetitive diets in response to the negative feelings that follow a binge episode.
Binge eating disorder can affect anybody, regardless of age, gender or ethnicity. In fact, research suggests equal percentages of males and females experience binge eating disorder.

Our second day at Disney World, we left our hotel even brighter and earlier, since the Magic Kingdom's parking lot isn't as convenient as Epcot's. You have to take a boat or the monorail to the park entrance. But, we made it in time for a quick bathroom break and the cute little opening ceremony! Mickey and Minnie arrive by train to officially open the park. Once again, the park opened about ten minutes ahead of it's 9:00 scheduled time.
We walked through Main Street and around Cinderella's Castle to Princess Fairy Tale Hall.
We waited for about twenty minutes to meet Rapunzel and Tiana. Cinderella and Elena of Avalor (from a Disney Channel show) are on the opposite side of the hall. You have to wait in two lines if you want to meet all four princesses, but thankfully we met Cinderella at Epcot and our daughters have not seen Elena's show.
We used Touring Plans to make personalized plans for each day at the park. Highly recommend that resource! Our plan had us going to Enchanted Tales with Belle next, since it usually has a longer wait and we weren't able to get a Fast Pass, then coming back for the carousel. Maggie really, really, really wanted to ride the carousel as soon as she saw it. I started to convince her to wait until after Enchanted Tales, but then I realized I needed to chill the heck out. Life would go on if we slightly altered the plan! (For real, though, having a plan of attack for the park was amazing. We did follow it the rest of the day and it really allowed us to optimize our time.)
We still only ended up waiting maybe fifteen minutes for Enchanted Tales. You're ushered into Belle's childhood cottage and then a mirror magically transforms into a portal to the Beast's castle. That part was super, super cool. It's Belle and the Beast's anniversary, so Wardrobe is organizing a reenactment of how they met for the celebration. She gives out costumes to volunteers willing to perform in the play. We're escorted into the library, where Belle comes out, Lumiere guides everyone through the performance, and Belle greets all the guests after the show.
Next up was The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh. This was the first time a Fast Pass was actually helpful.
Followed by Dumbo the Flying Elephant and the Mad Tea Party.
We had hoped to squeeze in the Barnstormer as well (a little kid's roller coaster) but had to book it to our 11:00 lunch reservation at Be Our Guest.
It's a quick service restaurant inside the Beast's castle! You can actually order your food online ahead of time, which was so convenient. The adults had beef dip sandwiches and the kids had grilled cheese. You choose your own table, so we got to peek in the West Wing, complete with the slashed painting and enchanted rose, before finding our seats in the main dining room.
Our first stop after lunch was Under the Sea: Journey of the Little Mermaid. This was the newest dark ride we went on, so the animatronics were very well done, especially during "Under the Sea" and "Kiss the Girl." Claire and Maggie found Ursula and her eels a little scary though. We had a Fast Pass for this ride but didn't need it - everyone could just walk right on.
Mickey's Philharmagic is a 4D film featuring Donald Duck getting thrown into scenes from Beauty and the Beast, the Little Mermaid, the Lion King, Peter Pan, and Aladdin. It was cute and very nice to relax in a dark theater for a few minutes, but probably our least favorite attraction of the day.
It's a Small World and Peter Pan's Flight a classics for good reason! We really loved them both. Our third fast pass was for Peter Pan, and like Winnie the Pooh, it was definitely helpful.
We had just enough time to use the Tangled inspired bathrooms before the 2:00 showing of Mickey's Royal Friendship Faire.
It's a little musical on the steps of Cinderella's Castle featuring songs from the Princess and the Frog, Tangled, and Frozen. Afterward, we grabbed some popsicles and found a good spot to watch the parade.
Betsy learned to clap on our trip - it was so cute to see her clapping along during the parade!
After the parade, we finally ventured out of Fantasyland to ride the Magic Carpets of Aladdin in Adventureland.
It's pretty much exactly the same ride as Dumbo, but, hey, we all still enjoyed it. Betsy especially found those two rides and the spinning tea cups hilarious. Even babies love Disney World apparently!
We met Aladdin and Jasmine after the ride, which brought the girls' princess total to eleven over the course of two days.
We couldn't leave the park without a family photo in front of the iconic castle! And without some souvenirs. We told the girls ahead of time that we'd all pick out a Christmas ornament. We found them at the Emporium on Main Street.
So, we were actually at the Magic Kingdom on Thursday, December 8th. That's the feast of the Immaculate Conception, a holy day of obligation. We walked out of the park at 5:00, which we figured would give us plenty of time to grab a quick dinner and go to Mass at 7:00, down the street from our hotel. But just as we were leaving, the monorail broke down, so everyone exiting had to take a boat back to the parking area. Unfortunately that took such a long time that we don't get back to our car until 7:00, foiling our plan. We just grabbed burgers from the Steak & Shake next to our hotel and had a picnic on the living room floor. Maggie actually fell asleep as we were exiting the park and didn't wake up until the next morning!
If I could go back and change anything about our day, I probably would have skipped Mickey's Philharmagic and met Peter Pan instead. Instead of getting a Fast Pass for the Little Mermaid ride, I would have got one to meet Tinkerbell at the theater on Main Street on our way out. Really, we had such a wonderful time and although there was so much of the park we didn't see, we hit all the highlights on our list.

If you are planning to go to Chiang Mai, you will sure pass by Lampang Province. Thanks to restaurants, river side bars, Buddhist Temples and Horse-drawn carriages. This province is also home of more than 50 elephants including babies under Thailand Elephant Conservation Centre. Elephant Rides is also popular among foreigner travellers that decided to stop by at this so called "One of the Hidden Gems of Thailand".
Most travelers to northern Thailand pass by the sleepy province of Lampang in their rush to get to
glamour locations like Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai. That's a pity, as this rural province has succeeded in keeping its centuries-old traditions and lifestyles while other locations have firmly embraced the 21 s1 century. The province also has some of the best-preserved examples of Lanna art remaining , as well as an extensive natural heritage to rival any province in the north. Lampang – northern Thailand's 'Sleeping Beauty' – is the ideal place to escape from the stresses of modern life; to reach an altogether more civilized time.
The 15th century Wat Phrathat Lampang Luang is one of the finest examples of a wooden temple anywhere in Thailand. The temple features an alloy Lanna style pagoda (Phrathat Lampang Luang) which enshrines relics of the Buddha, and a large image hall or viharn built in 1476. The hall houses the Buddha image of Phrachao Lanthong as well as ancient frieze paintings depicting the stories of the Lord Buddha and his teachings. The temple and its museum of art objects is worth spending some time exploring to uncover many more interesting facets and features. Wat Phrathat Lampang Luang is located in Tambon Lampang Luang, around 18 km from town.
One of Lampang's star attractions is the Thai Elephant Conservation Centre – the first of its kind in the world – and Thung Kwian pine forests. Located 24 km out of town on the road to Chiang Mai, the centre was founded in 1969 to raise and train young elephants in logging skills. Since Thailand banned logging, the centre has been used to care for old or sick elephants. The world's only elephant hospital is also located here. For visitors, the centre runs scheduled elephant shows and elephant rides around the plantations (+66 5424 7871) . Courses on elephant care and home-stay accommodation are also available (www.thailandelephant.org) .
Chae Son National Park, around 75 km from Lampang town and straddling the demarcation between Lampang and Chiang Mai, is a verdant watershed for several rivers and streams and site of the popular six-tier Chae Son Waterfall and hot wells, where you can boil an egg. Several other waterfalls are scattered through the park, including the Mae Mon and Mae Khun cascades, each about 5 km walk from the park office, and the Pha Ngam Caves , many of which can be explored by visitors . The best time to visit Chae Son is from November- February when the weather is pleasantly cool. In January to February the forest is dotted with blooming orchid trees (Bauhinia), which can also be viewed from the Chae Son-Ban Pa Miang road. The park offers housed accommodation and camping for t hose with their own tents as well as a restaurant (+66 5438 0000, +668 9851
3355 , www.dnp.go.th).
Horse and carriage tour
Horse-drawn carriages have plied the streets of Lampang as taxis since days gone by. Today, a trip around town by horse is a must-do part of any visit to the town. You can choose to start your carriage ride from in front of the old city hall, the Thip Chang Lampang Hotel, the Wiang Lakhon Hotel, or the Lampang Wiang Thong Hotel with two basic routes, inner and outer city, taking around 20 and 40 minutes, respectively. An unbeatable and leisurely way to see many of the town's historic sites and the Wang River. An annual Horse-drawn Carriage and Train Fair is held during March 28-April 2 at Lampang's grand old railway station .
Getting there
Bangkok Airways (www.bangkokair.com) offers three daily flights to Lampang from Bangkok's Suvarnhabumi Airport with a flight time of 90 minutes, while Nok Air (www.nokair.com) runs two daily flight s from Don Meuang Airport. For a more laid-back alternative, why not take a leisurely tip by train from Bangkok's Hualamphong station (www.railway.co.th)?
For more information, contact the TAT, Chiang Mai office on +66 5324 8604, +66 5324 8607 .

Wouldn't it be nice to have your XenServer environment allways with you on a USB disk ?
Wouldn't it be nice, if this USB disk would function with your own notebook ?
And that you don't need a second machine to run XenCenter on it ?
That this is possible and how to achieve this, is documented in my last tutorial. In this tutorial we will install XenServer on a USB harddisk attached to a laptop, then install X server and GNOME on this disk and then run an RDP session to a VM running on the XenServer and providing us with XenCenter.
A "demo in a box" 🙂
The tutorial can be downloaded here: "XenServer_and_Gnome_on_your_USB_disk_EN.pdf"
For the moment, this tutorial is availabel only in German, but i will upload an english version soon, so stay tuned…
The english version is now available too…

The fastening at the top of the helmet holding the liner is a "lift the dot" fastener, a small flap with a brass ring clips over a brass stud fixed to the top of the helmet, making a quick release for the liner.

Tree Pruning
When a pruning job calls for precision, the right equipment and experience is vital. That is when DeMore Tree Service's 30 years of experience and state of the art bucket truck will provide you with the professional quality you are looking for. With an attention for details and a well respected reputation; it is no wonder DeMore Tree Service serves such high profile clients as WGBH Channel 2, WBZ Channel 4, DuPont and Modern Continental.
Winter Pruning
Pruning during dormancy is the most common practice. It results in a vigorous burst of new growth in the spring and should be used if that is the desired effect. It is usually best to wait until the coldest part of winter has passed. Some species, such as maple, walnuts and birches, may "bleed"—when the sap begins to flow. This is not harmful and will cease when the tree leafs out.
Summer Pruning
To direct the growth by slowing the branches you don't want; or to slow "dwarf" the development of a tree or branch, pruning should be done soon after seasonal growth is complete. The reason for the slowing effect is that you reduce the total leaf surface, thereby reducing the amount of food manufactured and sent to the roots. Another reason to prune in the summer is for corrective purposes. Defective limbs can be seen more easily, or limbs that hang down too far under the weight of the leaves.

Sparkling Rosé
/ Lombardy
Grapes: 80% Corvina, 10% Rondinella, 10% Molinara
In northern Italy's Veneto region, vines are planted to hillside vineyards where they benefit from well-drained, mineral rich, volcanic basaltic rock and calcareous clay soils. The grapes are hand-picked and vinified on the same day to preserve their most delicate flavors. After a brief 12-hour maceration in temperature-controlled tanks on the skins, the wine is drawn off and fermented in stainless steel tanks to ensure absolute freshness. The wine sits in autoclave for 20 to 30 days until the perfect bubble structure is attained.
San Francisco International Wine Competition
tasting note
Radiant pink. Floral, fresh, and fruity with a hint of cherries, strawberries and currants. On the palate, it is fresh, with a long, balanced finish.
food pairing
This Rosé is robust enough to pair well with many grilled foods like chicken and portabella mushrooms yet delicate enough to pair with lighter fare like fish.

Press Releases
Alexander on Fox News's Outnumbered Overtime: President's Immigration Comments Yesterday were "Real Presidential Leadership"
Posted on January 25, 2018
Watch the interview HERE. Excerpts below:
Let's bring in Republican Senator Lamar Alexander from Tennessee, and he's part of that bipartisan immigration group that has been working on this legislation. I take it there has been some movement that you can tell us about that might be positive.
First: The president's statement is a positive movement. That is real presidential leadership. I said to the president earlier this year, 'Mr. President, President Bush couldn't do it, President Obama couldn't do it, they both tried. You could do it. You could be Nixon to China on immigration.' This isn't something that the Nashville City Council can solve or the state can solve, the president and the Congress have to create a legal immigration system and you can do it, and I think his comments yesterday are an important part of presidential leadership to solve the problem.
As you've put together this bipartisan group and you're working on this, have you called specifically on the president--give us your thoughts and your vision?
Yes, I welcome the president's comments. I met with the Secretary the Department of Homeland Security this week and said 'Please give us your recommendations, please provide technical advice.' We want the president's advice. Now, it will be up to the Senate what we pass, we want to pass a bill with at least 70 votes so the president will sign it and if he signs it the House will be more likely to pass it. So yes we want the president's advice.

David has served at the Mint before, he knows Washington well, and he brings to the job more than 20 years of experience in the anti-counterfeiting business. We need his leadership at the U.S. Mint as we confront the growing threat coin counterfeiting poses to the nation," Diehl said.

So, Ford embraces anti-gay bigotry. And the two Ford execs who negotiated the anti-gay secret deal with the gay-hating extremist groups, Ziad Ojakli and David Leitch, are actually former top officials in the Bush White House. And now we find out, below, that one of those same top Bush/Ford officials is also running secret meetings out of Ford's own offices in support of Bush's far-right Supreme Court nominees.
Putting aside the question of who this Ford employee actually works for, Ford or the White House, is anyone seeing a larger pattern here?
Maybe you folks ought to give Mr. Ujakli a call here in DC and let him know you're not amused by Ford having become an adjunct of the Bush White House:
From Roll Call, via Bulletin News:
Lobbyists, meanwhile, are already plotting their strategy to further the [John Roberts Supreme Court] nomination. Roll Call (7/26, Newmyer) says that "just one day after President Bush announced Roberts as his pick to succeed retiring Associate Justice Sandra Day O'Connor, an elite group of GOP lobbyists gathered in the downtown offices of Ford Motor Co. to discuss strategy." The meeting, "which lasted less than an hour, gathered some of the relatively small number of veteran Republican loyalists with experience in Supreme Court confirmation fights, participants said." The gathering "was hosted by Ziad Ojakli, who earlier this year finished up three years as the administration's top lobbyist in the Senate to take a job in Ford's Washington office. Helping Ojakli lead the meeting were Candi Wolff, Bush's top Congressional liaison and Ed Gillespie, the former Republican National Committee chairman tapped by the White House to help win Senate confirmation for Roberts."(Hat tip to AMERICAblog reader Cadejo.)

Alternate cover for Deconstructed - coffee table book (2019)
This is an alternate dust jacket to my book, Deconstructed. This was the image I thought most appropriate for the book, but for marketing reasons, I did not use it. I lamented the fact that Amazon and other sites would not allow frontal nudity on the cover of a book, but while I was in Italy overseeing the book printing, my sales rep allowed me to make a limited number of these alternate dust jackets for after market. Once your dust jacket arrives, all you have to do is slip off the original and fold this one around the book. You will then have two dust jackets (one quite rare) which will make your book more collectible.

Also I had written several articles on Habrahabr.ru as most respectable IT resource in russian IT Community.

You can take a look at my profile. There I meet very good team from Italy - FatBrain, and many of my works later were done with them. In 2015 I left previous company and became the member of this team. At the moment we have one big project - Marketwall.com, and also several projects for different clients.

HTML, CSS, Javascript, SVG, Canvas, PHP, SQL, SmartTV JS Apps (Samsung/Netrange/Alliance), Android Apps (Java, not perfect, but enough for simple applications), have experience with Wordpress sites, themes and plugins, Joomla! sites and plugins. Last several years worked mostly on frontend, data visualisation, visual effects and animations. Here are listed not all things I worked with, so you are free to ask me for skill you are interested in.

Hercules is the story of an odd boy with superhuman strength who has trouble fitting in in ancient Greece. That is, until he learns that he's the mortal son of Zeus, the king of the gods. To become a god himself, Hercules must become a hero. He takes on some of the most frightening monsters in all of Greece to prove himself, but it may take more than superhuman strength to become a true hero.
Room for Improvement:
Gender Roles – Women
Gender Roles – Men
Self-Esteem and Body Image
Character Development
Gender Roles - Women: 1.4 Stars (Spoilers)
Meg is sassy and guarded, but her brashness doesn't do much to mask the fact that she has no real power. She's a prisoner of Hades, the god of the underworld, and is more or less forced to do his bidding. She's been hurt and betrayed by someone she once loved, and has grown distrustful and cynical of the world - but this is a poor substitute for real strength. Meg eventually stands up to Hades and refuses to go along with his plan to defeat Hercules, but Hades is still able to use her to get what he wants. In the end, she never frees herself from Hades' influence, and it is Hercules who rescues her.
Gender Roles - Men: 1 Star
Hercules embodies the enduring image of a hero who is confident, strong and fearless. He is clumsy and awkward as a teen who can't control his own strength, but most of this disappears when he becomes the legendary hero. When Hades realizes that Hercules can't be defeated, he convinces the young hero to sacrifice his strength for just one day in return for Meg's freedom. This unexpected decision could have been used to dig deeper into Hercules' character. To give him the opportunity to experience what it's like to be vulnerable or hurt. But unfortunately, the moment doesn't last long. We're left with the disappointing message that Hercules' only weakness is his love for Meg, while her love for him seems to be her only strength.
Self-Esteem and Body Image: 1.5 Stars
Meg is drawn with an unrealistic hourglass figure - from her tiny waist to her curvy hips. She moves and flirts with a slinky, sexy walk that overwhelms her overall character. The other women, Hera and Aphrodite have similar dimensions. The only character with lifelike proportions are Hercules' earth mother, who doesn't even have a name.
Plot: 2 Stars (Spoilers)
Meg isn't given much of an opportunity to influence the plot. She's a prisoner with a broken heart, and takes very little initiative in changing her circumstances. She takes her direction from Hades with little concern for the consequences, until she begins to develop feelings for Hercules. And even then, her role is reduced to futile protests. Meg is, however, given one shining moment at the end of the film when she rescues Hercules and sacrifices herself so he can regain his strength. Her sacrifice is both brave and clever, and shows that it doesn't always take muscle to do something heroic. It's just unfortunate that she's given so few accolades for her role in frustrating Hades' plan.
Character Development: 2.5 Stars (Spoilers)
Meg had the potential to be a truly intriguing character. We're told that she's already sacrificed herself for love once before - by selling her soul to save a man that she once loved. She carries this hurt around with her, which may be part of the reason she seems so resigned to her circumstances. It's disappointing that this vivid background isn't developed further. That she never has the chance to confront the man who betrayed her or to explain how she knows that Hercules is different. It's fascinating in a way that Hercules only becomes a true hero when he agrees to give his life for Meg. This selfless act is what finally turns him into a god - but the film conveniently ignores the fact that Meg's done this same thing twice with little to no recognition. The first time she lost her soul to Hades. The second time, she lost her life.
Love: 2.5 Stars
Hercules and Meg fall in love in an evening, most of which takes place off-screen. They return to Hercules' home reminiscing about the theatre and the sights of Greece. They certainly seem to enjoy each other's company, but they spend little time sharing the details of their lives. Hercules never tells her about Zeus and the gods. Meg never tells him about Hades or her broken heart. Their romance is more of a surface level crush, and yet we're asked to believe that they're both willing to risk their lives for each other. In the end, Hercules is even willing to sacrifice Mount Olympus and immortality to spend his life with her. While the sentiment is touching, it's hard to ignore the fact that he wasn't willing to make the same sacrifice for the mother and father who raised him. This might have been a powerful ending if more time had been spent developing the romance, but as is, it's a bit hard to swallow.
Friendship: 1 Star (Spoilers)
Hercules has an uninspiring friendship with his trainer, Phil. They practice Hercules' heroic feats together and form a bond over his steady rise to stardom, but unsurprisingly, there's little emotion or substance in their relationship. There is an opportunity to develop and test this friendship when Phil suspects that Meg is working with Hades. Hercules refuses to listen to Phil's suspicions and even strikes him, sending him flying through the air. This is a powerful moment, as Hercules is suddenly caught using his amazing strength against a friend. It was disappointing to see that this didn't result in a heart to heart discussion about controlling his anger or trusting the very person that had believed in him from the beginning. Instead Phil walks away, hurt and angry. The two friends are able to reconcile during the ensuing battle for Mount Olympus, without ever revisiting the bond that was broken.
