This is unfortunate. I was considering Mr Dream for next month but reliability and communication are essential for this type of business.

I have not tried it but heard the same thing. BTW, B complex vitamins are water soluable so are not stored in the body, replace daily: http://www.ext.colostate.edu/PUBS/FOODNUT/09312.html

The mosquito that transmits Dengue fever (Aedes aegypti) is a day time feeder. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aedes_aegypti They don't travel far. I cannot find that link I read recently but in cities where there are outbreaks it is localized and does not spread far so the mosquito is not a far traveller like the night feeding Anopheles mosquito (malaria) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anopheles The relevant part about the Aedes aegypti article: "[edit] Spread of disease and prevention The CDC traveler's page on preventing dengue fever suggests using mosquito repellents that contain DEET (N, N-diethylmetatoluamide). It also explains the following: Although it may feed at any time, the mosquito bites humans only between a few hours after dawn until an hour or so after sunset. The mosquito's preferred breeding areas are in areas of stagnant water, such as flower vases, uncovered barrels, buckets, and discarded tires, but the most dangerous areas are wet shower floors and toilet tanks, as they allow the mosquitos to breed right in the residence. Research has shown that certain chemicals emanating from bacteria in water containers stimulate the female mosquitoes to lay their eggs. They are particularly motivated to lay eggs in water containers that have just the right amounts of specific fatty acids associated with bacteria involved in the degradation of leaves and other organic matter in water. The chemicals associated with the microbial stew are far more stimulating to discerning female mosquitoes than plain water, for example, or filtered water in which the bacteria once lived." Your house may not be where the mosquito is breeding. I wish I could find the link for their range but you may need to expand your search for breeding sites and the types of places you are looking for. Found it: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15741559 "Dispersal of the dengue vector Aedes aegypti within and between rural communities.Harrington LC, Scott TW, Lerdthusnee K, Coleman RC, Costero A, Clark GG, Jones JJ, Kitthawee S, Kittayapong P, Sithiprasasna R, Edman JD. Department of Entomology, Cornell University, Ithaca, New York 14850, USA. lch27@cornell.edu Knowledge of mosquito dispersal is critical for vector-borne disease control and prevention strategies and for understanding population structure and pathogen dissemination. We determined Aedes aegypti flight range and dispersal patterns from 21 mark-release-recapture experiments conducted over 11 years (1991-2002) in Puerto Rico and Thailand. Dispersal was compared by release location, sex, age, season, and village. For all experiments, the majority of mosquitoes were collected from their release house or adjacent house. Inter-village movement was detected rarely, with a few mosquitoes moving a maximum of 512 meters from one Thai village to the next. Average dispersal distances were similar for males and females and females released indoors versus outdoors. The movement of Ae. aegypti was not influenced by season or age, but differed by village. Results demonstrate that adult Ae. aegypti disperse relatively short distances, suggesting that people rather than mosquitoes are the primary mode of dengue virus dissemination within and among communities. PMID: 15741559 [PubMed - indexed for MEDLINE]" I assuming it is Aedes aegypti you are dealing with. It makes sense.

You have not been to Alaska then?

I feel for her kids. The U.S. is a bit over zealous for this though. But that's the way our immigration is if you try to go in legally. There are other Disneylands that are even closer.

Now that is funny! About $12 bucks for towing and storage and graft is not bad. Imagine how much it would be here in CA

or Pattaya? hehe

The Italian language is taking over Pattaya!

Isn't eating the photos dissatisfying? Why not actually go there and try the food for real?

Good God! You're back? edit: Oops! Just saw the date of his post. Heart rate back to normal.

and only 13 posts to endear yourself forever

earth tones are so soothing at work

Not even a step above Sizzler as far as I'm concerned. Well smaller and quieter.

Only your second post but I am a fan of your sense of humor forever I hate to ask about their wine list!

I am thinking I will also.

I am inside of two months and not smiling more yet. But I smile enough because next year I retire. Suddenly work is not stressful. The only thing that would make my life better is to be in LOS. Soon enough. Permit me to be slightly envious that you will be there before me. Have a great trip!

so cool, Mick!

I have eaten steak at Bighorn and nothing great. The chef (owner) at Beefeater is excellent. I had ribs there, mmmmmmmm. I will try a steak next time (August) here's a review: http://www.pattayapeople.com/default.asp?F...;IdArticle=2804 I have not read it so I do not know if it agrees with my experience (working).

post on thaivisa.com also lots of guys to help you

I clipped this from Time Magazine: "...The best beef is raised free-range on grass, with whole cereal and hay over the winter. Zaldúa says that two weeks of aging will tenderize the best meat, while no amount of aging can save the toughest. Science seems to back him up. Even among purebloods of impeccable provenance, it is nearly impossible to tell in advance which one holds the ultimate steak, for individual animals vary dramatically. Recent studies point to variations in genes for specific compounds like myostatin and calpain as factors in determining tenderness, but it would take between 20 and 40 years to breed toughness out of meat. Yet even the most genetically blessed beef can turn tough if it is not treated properly. Chilling the meat immediately after slaughter triples its toughness. The ultimate steak has to be cooled gradually and then properly dry-aged. Most importantly, it must be cooked to no more than 140ºF (60ºC), or medium rare...." http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/...1691115,00.html The best steak I ever had was at Argentine steak house in Berlin. I have no idea of the history of that steak. It melted in your mouth and was so flavorful. I don't eat much beef any more but I still love an occasional steak or burger. Some think corn fed is better but most agree grass fed beef is king: http://www.foodrevolution.org/grassfedbeef.htm I think aging is very important. Just grist for the mill. In the end it is what appeals to your pallate.

WTF? I have my father's antique spurs and they are long over due for some action.

The wife is obviously not from California.

pic is a bit low rez (grainy) - you might want to shoot at a higher resolution. Then we could all see what was on the TV! Damn that Joe has good eyes! Getaway? Come on!

um, read what I commented to. you said walk Beach road originally. You did not say take a motorbike taxi down second road.
