That's RT by the way. Really insane deal.

It says it ends 11/7 but still open on website as of an hour ago, I did everything but purchase. And yes, Thanksgiving week was open. Close to pulling the trigger, even for me and my son who would miss a few days at school but could see some of his Thai family. I'm having trouble posting links, just go to Cathay USA website. Hub

I'm having a very similar procedure done outside of Pattaya in a few weeks time. Extraction (1,000) and bone graft (6,000-12,000) first visit, and later (3-6 months?) come back to install the post at then the crown (40,000+). Kinda sucks getting it done on vacation, but maybe an excuse to take a few nights easy, and will likely be saving $3,500+ US dollars. I had a friend go to the same place a few years back and was very successful. I will report back on my experience.

I saw one Thai girl lay out another with one punch at the top of Pattaya 16 and Second Road (I was getting those banana pancakes from the cart). The girl that got knocked out was leaning out the back of a baht bus and ended up lying unconscious on the floor of the baht bus. They were pretty decent looking, surprisingly.

Well, their anger would be a little unfounded as Brady crushed them in the second half when the balls were "inflated". Patriots were winning that game big either way.

Sounds like bitter grapes.

Way over blown. The fine doesn't hurt, but the 4 games without Brady and by far the worst are the draft picks. Losing picks hurt a team.

We have an Irish butcher here in my town that has the best aged steak I've ever bought. The cuts are in the $30 - $36/pound range. I usually go for a 2" cut. I agree with MM, a good cast iron grill pan is essential if not cooking on the BBQ. My understanding is that you really can't get anything similar in Thailand, at least per a discerning friend that lives in Thailand and isn't afraid to spend. The problem is that now that's he has had one, I have to pack several in my luggage now when I travel and see him! Here is a NY strip from last week:

Its the unions these old cows are in. They have very little chance of being fired and there are no performance based incentives, they have gotten these jobs from seniority. Just playing out their strings and look at passengers as impediments to their total lack of motivation.

I have a lot of United FF miles, but won't use them on one their planes unless maybe doing a 4-5 hour hop to South America. The difference between Asian carriers and US carriers is shocking. I have seen some surreal stuff on US planes going trans-pacific - the reason it is the old bag stewardesses with cankles is that its all down to seniority and those flights are the most desirable due to the mandatory time off after long flights, even though most of the time they huddle on milk crates in the galley instead of walking around and offering the passengers anything remotely related to courtesy. I was reprimanded once by hitting the call button by accident when seating on a Northworst flight and could have broke the c%nts jaw. I've seen much, much worse. The exact opposite on Asian carriers. I could cite numerous examples, including upgrading a friend hit by glass during 9/11 just by me mentioning he had back problems after several surgeries. I'm lucky enough that I will be flying first or business likely for the next five years. Retirement may see me back in economy, which is fine, but I will definitely avoid our US carriers if possible.

Nice pics. I thought the same thing as Spike...the trees reminded me of New Hampshire for a sec. I was south of Chang Rai and never knew that was there.

They did, but the USA had some chances at the end, which was promising. The Portugal-Ghana game looked to be the better one from having that match on in the background while watching the US game.

I don't really think it matters how they got in, they deserved it. They played well against Ghana and Portugal, and Portugal got blasted by Germany. Well done to the coach and the team and the future looks promising. Unfortunately, I think the line ends with Belgium, especially if the Belgium coach starts Mirallas. Looking forward to watching Colombia play Brazil while in Colombia on July 4 if they both make it to the final 8.
