1. Hawaii
Hawaii is picture-perfect for a wedding. Getty Images/Flickr Select.
In December 2013, same-sex couples joined the long line of lovebirds who take the plunge each year in Hawaii's palm-trees-and-blue-seas paradise. After the wedding, the honeymoon is ready-made: swim in waterfall pools, sway in beachside hammocks, sip celebratory tropical cocktails, ride horses with local cowboys. The Islands' aloha spirit coupled with generations of diverse populations living in sync result in a laid-back, no-one-looks-twice vibe. O'ahu (especially around Waikiki) and Maui are gay hubs, with plenty of beaches, B&Bs and resorts catering to the LGBT community.
2. San Francisco, California
San Francisco's rainbows come in all shapes and sizes. Getty Images.
The rainbow flag flies higher here than anywhere else in the US. For a half-century the Castro District has been the epicenter of American gay and lesbian culture. An unparalleled number of bars, shops, eateries and hotels cater to the crowd. Consider the city's breathtaking (literally) hills, brooding fog and exquisite foodie fare as lucky bonuses.
3. Buenos Aires, Argentina

Progressive Buenos Aires is one of Latin America's gay capitals, and it seduces without shame. When you're not carving into a steak washed down by velvety Malbec wine, visit Evita's grave, see an opera at the Teatro Colón and poke around the San Telmo street market, where tango performers get their groove on. The city offers several places to learn the sultry dance, including the Queer Tango Festival (festivaltangoqueer.com.ar), held in late November. Gay-friendly cafes and guesthouses dot the neighborhoods of San Telmo, Retiro, Barrio Norte and Palermo Viejo.
4. Cape Town, South Africa

Cape Town is Africa's gayest city, and it's a beauty all right. Flat-topped mountains, sculpture-lined parks and golden beaches strike a pose. Bohemian gayborhoods such as De Waterkant entertain. Bucolic vineyards stripe the outskirts. And what other wedding destination boasts penguin-spotting tours and shark-cage diving? Stay for a safari honeymoon and add hippos, giraffes, and zebras to the viewing list.
5. Tahiti

With its coconut groves, blue-green lagoons and chalk-white sand, Tahiti is the quintessential Polynesian idyll. Most hotels are geared up to perform weddings, and they don't get any sexier than at Le Méridien on nearby Bora Bora. Picture your own thatched-roof bungalow with a glass floor over fish-speckled water. You'll likely run into rae-rae, cross-dressers or transgendered folks, who are a highly respected and integral part of the restaurant and hotel industries, as they have been for eons in this culture.
6. Queenstown, New Zealand

Nestled beside a glassy lake and ringed by white-tipped peaks, Queenstown is New Zealand's most popular resort area, known for its daredevil sports. After saying 'I do', newlyweds can test their bond by jet boating, whitewater rafting, skydiving and bungy jumping (the town is bungy's birthplace and provides multiple scream-triggering venues to leap from). It's equally busy in winter, with lots of folks getting hitched during Gay Ski Weekend (www.gayskiweekqt.com) in early September.7. New York City

Walk down the aisle at skyscraping Top of the Rock, at Lincoln Center or Central Park Zoo. Granted, you'll need a boatload of money, but the point is anything goes in NYC. Iconic restaurants, Broadway theaters and the très-gay neighborhoods of Chelsea, Greenwich Village and Hell's Kitchen ensure post-wedding festivities galore.
8. Iceland
Iceland's magical landscapes make a perfect backdrop to any ceremony. Getty Images.
Soon after Iceland legalized same-sex marriage in June 2010, the prime minister - the world's first openly lesbian head of state - married her partner. So it's no surprise the scene is incredibly welcoming. Take your pick of mind-blowing backdrops for the ceremony: beside a thundering waterfall, in a rustic wood church or surrounded by hulking blue glaciers. Pink Iceland (http://www.pinkiceland.is) can make the arrangements.
9. Vancouver, BC, Canada
Big city meets rugged wilderness in stunning Vancouver, British Columbia. Getty Images/Flickr RF.
Vancouver is like the gay Vegas for destination nuptials. There are easy-to-follow instructions to tie the knot (see www.vs.gov.bc.ca/marriage/howto.html), and a thriving LGBT community to drink and dine among. But it's the mountain-and-sea beauty that's the big attraction. Adventure-seeking spouses add on a trip to nearby Whistler for world-class skiing and mountain biking.
10. Boston, Massachusetts

Boston draws couples with its cobbled colonial lanes, Paul Revere-era churches, oyster houses and ocean vistas. Gay and lesbian justices of the peace and wedding planners abound, and swanky boutique hotels like the XV Beacon (www.xvbeacon.com) regularly host cozy queer weddings. They've had lots of practice: Massachusetts was the first US state to legalize same-sex marriage, back in 2004.

Critics Pan Cleanup Efforts At Los Alamos
Critics Pan Cleanup Efforts At Los Alamos
Critics of a new agreement between the state and the Department of Energy on environmental cleanup efforts at Los Alamos National Laboratory say the agreement lacks real cleanup requirements.
The pact, announced earlier this month, frees up $43 million in federal funds for cleanup operations at the lab.
The Los Alamos study group says if the new agreement is based on the state's original cleanup order -- as state officials have said -- it is not going to require any real cleanup.
The state Environment Department says the original state order stopped short of detailed cleanup provisions because much of the waste has not been characterized.

(Originally published July 19, 2015)
In this edition of "Chattin' with the CHIKARMY," I'm happy to present the second written episode of the show, this time with CHIKARA 101's own Ice Ant. We talk about The Colony, BDK, and the 101 Colony. This chat was done through messages here on 101 and I think it's just as interesting an in-depth as any audio episode.
Please enjoy Episode 21 of "Chattin' with the CHIKARMY"!
Thank you for all your support!
I'm really familiar with you from here on CHIKARA 101 and with the 101 Colony. But I don't know too much else about you and the CHIKARMY might not either. So, please introduce yourself and share whatever information you feel comfortable with.
Ice Ant
Well, my real name is Sean but I prefer "Ice Ant." I was from Antarctica but now I'm residing in an undisclosed location in Parts Unknown. I'm sure that comes off as condescending but really it's just me embracing my identity here on the forum. I have ZERO social media presence elsewhere, and prefer it that way, but I've always felt comfortable being who I really am here… even if it is under a mask.
I'm just a private a guy, and the 101 has felt like home for years. I am "Ice Ant."
Not pretentious at all. It's totally cool, Ice (pardon the pun.) You're the first Ant I've met from Parts Unknown. So, how did you get interested in CHIKARA?
Ice Ant
Now this is the question I've been waiting for! Honestly, I think there's two parts to this whole: The first starting with PWI and the second with Brian Kendrick.
… But for those folks that (understandably) don't want to read all of the following, the short answer is "Claudio Castangoli." lol
Anyway, like most every wrestling fan, I started fairly "uneducated" about the business. I was introduced to the WWF in the late 90s and didn't really become obsessed with pro wrestling until about the time Mick Foley retired. He was one of my heros — and an inspiration to my personally — so to see him leave was heartbreaking… That same year, I got my first PWI 500 and that's where I first read the names "Mike Quackenbush" and "CHIKARA." I was immediately fascinated reading about all these guys on the independents, plying their trade and working to get noticed. Hearing about the worlds outside of the WWF, ECW and the dying WCW was eye-opening to put it mildly.
… Fast-forward a couple of years later to Velocity where the masked "River Rat" debuted and suddenly I found myself, for the first time, avidly trying to "wipe away the grape jam." The "Rat" BTW was of course Kendrick. One thing then led to another and before I knew it I learned what the "Swiss Money Holdings" were and even found some photos via WHACKS (yes, the CZW wrestler) of CHIKARA's first Tag World Grand Prix. I then quickly became more and more educated about CHIKARA's wrestlers and brand. I'll confess I didn't totally "get it" at first, mostly because all I had to go on were photos and rumors. But when Claudio debuted in ROH at "Joe v. Kobashi," suddenly I realized what I had been missing.
I've never been much of fan of buying things online but I made sure to purchase CHIKARA's only retail DVD. In time, I did become a more avid consumer and I'll add my first blatant shill here, saying THANK GOD for CHIKARAtopia! lol
Nice. I love all the different ways that we discover CHIKARA. I don't think you answered this or it's too close to my last question, but what is your favorite aspect of CHIKARA? (Yes, this is purposely vague.)
Ice Ant
Simple put: the care put into everything.
I love practically everything about CHIKARA! From the characters, to stories, to the wrestling, the FORUM and course, all the men and women who bring it all to life. I love that CHIKARA — while relatively silly on the surface — puts so much care into its angles and wrestlers that we as fans really feel something. We have connection to it; whether it be a Goblin Prince suddenly cut down in the prime of his life, a feral pigeon is almost mortally wounded, a wrestler forced to bare his or her shame by unmasking, or even the whole darn company being shut down… we care because they do. EVERYTHING in CHIKARA matters, both in story and a presentation, and it's that commitment and downright love that connects us.
I love that wrestling and wrestlers matter to CHIKARA and then even in dramatic or sad times… it's a fun experience. We care because they do.
That's a really great observation. And I agree that like you said, commitment and love runs through everything in CHIKARA. What are some of your favorite CHIKARA stories/angles and wrestlers/personalities – and why? What makes you connect to them?
Ice Ant
Oh God, where to begin? lol
… Well, obviously I have a deep love for the Colony. Fire Ant was my character's inspiration and I don't think I've ever seen a match with an ant that I didn't like. They're CdP match at Revelation X against the Osirian Portal is just a joy to watch. I love Fire Ant's YLC win over Vin Gerard and Green Ant's rise and wins over Tursas and even Mike Quackenbush were great moments. The Double Hair vs. Mask match with FIST is a classic and of course I marked for their KOT victory.
But that's just the ants; I'm really having a hard time thinking of something I didn't like.
I will say, watching High Noon live was a real treat. It was CHIKARA's first iPPV and the culmination of the 12 Large Summit. That match with Eddie Kingston and Quack to crown the first Grand Champion was so special for so many reasons. With the specter of the late-great Larry Sweeney still vivid in our memories, the emotion and impact just keep building and building as more and more wrestlers came to ringside to support CHIKARA's two best batting in an intense test of wills… It's an incredible match, bar-none, but watching it live made it all the more powerful.
… And then of course, there's actually attending a CHIKARA show too.
How did I know The Colony would be mentioned? 🙂 But seriously, I find that a lot of people have a hard time with that question. It's not easy. Have you been to a live show? And if so, how would you compare that to the experience of watching an iPPV, like High Noon?
Ice Ant
Yes, I actually got to go to "Smack in Middle" in the summer of 2012. My wife and I actually celebrated our one-year anniversary with CHIKARA and it was an awesome experience!
She (my wife) snagged some front-row seats, and I just remember being overwhelmed by everything. By then, I fancied myself fairly "smarky" but that left me pretty quick as deviANT and Green Ant started off the night in surprisingly physical affair. My first memory of that night is always just how LOUD it sounded when a body hit that mat! I couldn't believe it; I never knew and frankly it was kind of startling! lol
I marked pretty much the whole night, and it's crazy to me to think that at one point I was standing at a merchandise table where El Generico was signing T-shirts. Knowing where he is now (you, the orphanage?) that's just really cool…. Oddly enough though, my three favorite moments from that show all happened off camera. Don't get me wrong, the show was excellent — a great tag bout with the Spectral Envoy and the Bravados, Solider Ant and assailANT three years early and a SUPER FUN Atomico with FIST, Ophidian, Akuma and 3.Ole — all of it was great!
But these moments hold something special in my heart:
1.) Getting to hand Green Ant a bag of sugar (yeah, I know) and having him tell me I "got the good stuff" before snapping a picture with him is something I'll never forget. He also sold me my one and only CHIKARA shirt (his).
2.) Watching Jakob Hammermeier and my wife carry on conversation entirely in German that I did not understand in the slightest. lol
And 3.) After the show, all of the tecnicos including Mike Quackenbush shaking hands with all the patrons as they left, thanking them for their viewership and support. THAT was something so special! Soldier Ant held a salute the entire time.
… Only CHIKARA could provide memories like that and you only get that by being there live.
I'd love for them to come back.
Those are some amazing memories! Did your wife ever tell you what the conversation was about? I'm curious now!
Ice Ant
I'm sure she did the day-of, but when I asked her about it yesterday, she's all: "Honey, that was three years ago; I don't even remember what we had for breakfast today!" lol
… If I had to wager a guess though, earlier that night Jakob was trying to get me to buy his T-shirt but I only had enough cash for the Green Ant one. He probably tried to sway her into give me more money, what with her being my wife and thus being the obvious family bank vault.
How do you say "husband's allowance" in German?
Hahaha! Jakob was always good with the hustle! I hate to say opportunist here, because I think of Edge, but I think it fits him and I feel that's how he ended up taking over the BDK and getting The Eye. What do you think of the new BDK and his new Thursday's on the Throne videos?
Ice Ant
Well, while I have mixed feelings about Soldier Ant, I've really enjoyed the BDK under Jakob's rule overall. Seeing him evolve from an obnoxious announcer… to a wannabe wrestler… to Donst's whipping boy and then finally this, has been really interesting. I love how CHIKARA never gives up on its guys. Jakob was pretty over from the start and he's grown in leaps and bounds. I'm really enjoying his weekly rants (really, who can keep up with the Kardashians?) but I do wonder where this is all going.
Presumably, possessing the Eye will lead to Jakob and the BDK's downfall (again) but I really don't see how. Jakob's flipped his wig for sure, but he doesn't seem to be losing anything yet. Soldier's a machine, Pinky's nuts in a good way and Nokken gets better with each match; they seem solid. My only guesses are that either some of the former BDK members take umbrage with the new regime and there's a revolt, Hallowicked's new master somehow takes the reigns and the two factions yoke into the "Brotherhood of Nightmares," or maybe even Dr. Cube exacts some kind of kaiju-intensive revenge for Jakob's masquerade? I really don't know.
… But as for Solider, I do wish there was a way to somehow rewire him. After his previous exit, I can only assume his mind and body has been twisted by nefarious means to mold him into this sawed-off juggernaut. My hope is that his inevitable one-on-one with Fire Ant will help him to see the light but honestly, I have my doubts.
Also, Tursas is still around, right? Do we know where his allegiances lie?
A lot of people have that same opinion about Soldier Ant – that he's been twisted by some evil force. I think his Colony brother will eventually get through to him, but it'll take time. There's a lot of processing to work through.
I think it was interesting, but not surprising that Jakob pledged allegiance to Nazmaldun – he did say that he sold his soul to a few devils to the get the Eye and Nazmaldun is connected to it. I hope the Eye was worth it. I am wondering what he promised in exchange though and if that will be what ultimately brings down the BDK. What do you think it could be?
Tursas has come back from Valhalla somehow and he's teamed with Nokken – so maybe he's still loyal to the BDK? But I have no idea what his allegiance is. He could be an ace in Jakob's hole.
I love the Thursday's on the throne as well. It's hilarious and irreverent. It always brightens up my day and makes me laugh.
Speaking of Nazmaldun – what are you thoughts on the changes Hallowicked and Frightmare have gone through because of the Eye – and the addition of Blind Rage into the fold and the recruiting of Silver Ant.
Ice Ant
Well first, to quickly address the Jakob issue, I can only guess what deals (for that matter, what devils) Jakob has been involved with since the events of "Never Compromise," but I'd wager they involve some combination of the following…
1.) Tim Donst: Ever since getting his lights knocked out, and losing his match and his hair to Gavin, all we've seen of Donst is him living a relatively sedated life outside of CHIKARA. He appears to be controlled or "numbed" by some kind of drug that's taken away his identity. It's pure speculation, but I could see Jakob selling Donst into some form of servitude in exchange for the Eye.
2.) Soldier Ant/Pinkie Sanchez: Both Pinkie and Solider were cast aside by CHIKARA and their then-supposed comrades in the seasons leading up to "Never Compromise." Pinkie just sort of disappeared from the CHIKARA consciousness, and with it, likely his mind followed. Soldier's case is a bit more documented, and I could see both him and Pinkie leading a sort of similar post-CHIKARA life. Hammermeier, after recently emancipating himself from the abusive Donst, finds the former ants and there's a common thread between the trio. All were overlooked, under-appreciated and eventually rejected by those they thought were family. Jakob then, either by cunning or sheer force, has someone (or something) pervert Solider and Pinkie into his loyal followers, again using the Eye as a bargaining chip.
3.) Gavin Loudspeaker: I know this sounds a bit out of left field but at the conclusion of "Never Compromise," we see a glimpse of Gavin lying strew over a sarcophagus as the set is being torn down… I've always assumed no good would come from that moment. Is it still possible there's a sleeper agent amongst the CHIKARA faithful?
Again, I know that's pure speculation, but if someone like Hallowicked could be so easily turned… who's to say someone as unassuming as Gavin couldn't?
… And if I've somehow missed a piece of the puzzle there, please feel free to correct me. lol
Anyway, as far as Hallowicked and his rise as a devoted soldier for Nazmaldun, I have mixed feelings. On one hand, I love that he's Grand Champion. As (arguably) CHIKARA's first home-grown star, fresh from the Wrestle Factory, it feels very fitting to see him carrying CHIKARA's premier singles championship. In fact, Hallowicked has done pretty much everything anyone could dream of achieving in CHIKARA, short of winning the annual Torneo Cibernetico. Hallowicked has been involved in some of CHIKARA's greatest moments and it feels good to seeing him on top.
However, his turn — well, really Delirious' and then by virtue, his — saddens me frankly because after striving so many years for an identity, working so hard to find allies he trusts, I feel like all his autonomy has been stripped away from him. In an ironic twist, hearing Hallowicked use recognizable, English verse in his promos, somehow is not only harder to understand but feels less empowering. He had distinct personality and now it feels like he's just the trophy case for Nazmaldun's greatest prize. Compound that with Frightmare's change — all the more heartbreaking IMO — and even seedlings for Sliver Ant's brainwashing and I am not a fan of the Nightmare Warriors.
Oh, and while I'm on the subject of "identify crises," I have to confess I miss Green Ant.
I saw this mentioned on the forum ages ago, but wasn't the whole point of assailANT earning the right to fight as "Worker Ant," not only because he (rightfully) earned his stripes, but because Green Ant was proud of "heritage," so to speak? That he took the "greenhorn" stigma and it used to motivate, strengthen him and prove his doubters wrong?
I worry that "Sliver" had already started to change as soon as he put on that new mask. Could we really see another ant turn? I fear so…
- I've often wondered in the back of my head if Jakob ever got the Young Lions Cup that Donst wanted Icarus to deliver. Do you think he did, or no? The idea of Jakob selling Donst into some servitude is a wonderful sort of revenge.
2. Your comments on Soldier and Pinkie remind me of what the BDK originally was to start with – a group of people who felt discarded and disrespected by CHIKARA. I think that's the main link between the two. And where Nokken falls is anyone's guess – I am curious as to where Jakob found him.
3. Gavin as a sleeper agent…I would never have thought that. It would certainly be shocking. I think that would rock CHIKARA to the foundation.
I don't think you've left anyone out. They are all interesting theories and in the realm of CHIKARA, anything is possible…
I want to change the subject a little and talk about The 101 Colony. How did you first get involved with it?
Ice Ant
The 101 Colony started out of pure happenstance really, with a handful of users donning ant monikers and just sort evolving into characters organically. I'm 99% certain I was the first user to take on an ant identity (joining only three days after the forum's creation) but I actually wasn't the fist member of the 101 Colony, that honor going to "Replic Ant." Rep was really the first guy to give us our name, look and make us a formal e-fed. Over the years, he became one of my best friends ever and simply put: we never wouldn't have been "a thing" without him.
That said, I need to back up a little…
First, I was very new to internet culture and forums in general when I joined the 101. I wouldn't have done this for anything other than CHIKARA, because I knew the kind of fans and wrestling CHIKARA fostered. I always felt safe here. In the 101, I made an identity for myself where I wasn't afraid to chat openly with a group of strangers. I purposefully took on character that A.) paid homage to my favorite ant, Fire Ant and B.) gave me a sense of security. I love that I wear a mask; often times, I wish I did it in real life.
Here's my first avatar BTW:
And just as a quick aside, I need to thank RHP and Canenigma for really being the first people to reach out to me in private. Both are great guys and both really welcomed me openly and helped me get a better footing on being a part of this forum, and just being a CHIKARA fan in general. Guys like them help make being a fan fun!
… Anyway, the 101 Colony formed about four years ago in August with our earliest incarnation consisting of the original "Seven Anturai" (I'm the 4th) and the already-cannon ants from CHIKARA. We almost unconsciously did a one-match, unnamed show involving of giant Torneo Cibernetico. Then in no time following that, we were crafting more distinct characters, moveset, shows and angles and by about Christmas we had an established roster — with many more users, all ants — and a pretty meaty story going.
We also had deluge of graphics and other pieces of art that really help bring all the writing to life.
It's wild how fast everything developed. We almost even moved into a separate forum we were growing so fast but that just wasn't meant to be… The 101 Colony is, at its core, a giant and ongoing tribute to CHIKARA and all things wonderfully silly, dramatic, and just fun. EVERYTHING that happens in CHIKARA matters, and we've always tried to stay true to that. IMO it's the perfect outlet for wrestling fans to role-play, be creative and just escape into whatever world and/or character that inspires you.
It's honestly therapeutic at times…
I think it's fantastic that you have an outlet like this to be inspired by and support you when you need it, especially with it being CHIKARA-centric. I'd like to wrap it up, so we can share it with the CHIKARMY. Is there anything else you'd like to add or share with the CHIKARA fans and where can people find you online, if they want to talk with you about CHIKARA or the 101 Colony?
Ice Ant
It's been a pleasure chattin' with you too, Babs. Thank you for all your patience and time, passing PMs with me over the past month. I know it's not ideal and it's really appreciated.
… I'll confess I agonized for a while over how to answer this last question because it's very hard for me to say goodbye in general. I'm actually going to wipe off some of the grape jam here and take a bite of dry toast to say that while indeed the 101 Colony has been a passion and joy of mine for almost four years, real life has lately made it increasingly difficult for me to put into it as much as I have in the past. I'm pretty much an all or nothing kind of guy and I know that my time is passing me by.
I'm planning to write my last match sometime in August. Hopefully following that, I can focus more on just my character(s) and everything will feel less like a (self-imposed) obligation.
That all being said, I encourage ANYONE who has something inside them that they want to get out — maybe they don't know what it is, maybe they do — but if there's something there, I hope they find the 101 Colony. Whether it's emotional, silly, dramatic or whatever, if you want to share something of yourself in a creative and safe way here on the forum, then stop by the Anthill. Please.
The 101 Colony is always looking for new members and (I swear) there are no obligations. Anyone can put in as little or as much as they want; just please have fun!
And now that my obligator pitch is out of the way (lol), I do want to thank pretty much everyone for always making me personally feel at home here on the forum. I specifically want to thank RHP, Replic Ant/Soulyss, Canenigma, Cjb01, MZA and ALL my 101 Colony brothers past and present. I need to thank Leonard F. Chikarason and the rest of the forum administrators for carving out a little space for all us ants to do our thing. And I'd like to thank Mr. Mike Quackenbush for being gracious enough to actually pass a few PMs back and forth with me over the years. It's overwhelming carrying on a conversation with him and he couldn't be nicer.
… If anyone wants to contact me, my inbox is always open.

Join this dream biker's tour to "the Fantastic Lanna Kingdom" that will take you first to the highest peak of Thailand, Doi Inthanon with 2,565 meters above sea level. Ride along the winding and narrow twisty curvy roads with high mountain scenery, Mae Hong Son Loop, 1,864 curves through a vast panorama view of Mae Hong Son, the charming Pai, the lovely Tha Ton, the impressive mountainous scenery of Doi Mae Salong, Doi Tung Royal Villa, and of course, the famous Golden Triangle.
Airport transfer included: Chiang Mai International Airport
On your first day, you will enjoy your hotel with peaceful surroundings and on your second day, you will stay at a charming hotel with swimming pool. You will enjoy the fantastic panoramic view from your hotel on the third day and you will be relaxed at the peaceful setting of your hotel on the fourth day.
You will have an early morning meet-and-greet at your accommodation in Chiang Mai. You will be provided with the tour briefing, riding gear, and bike, informed briefly of local history, geography, and given any personal requirements. Lastly, you will have a general question-and-answer opportunity for any concerns you might have related to the tour.
Familiarize yourself with your bike on the highway ride heading south of Chiang Mai to Doi Inthanon National Park, the highest peak in Thailand, 2,565 meters above sea level. Ride along the excellent winding mountain road through pine forest scenery. Visit Thailand's finest waterfall, nature trails, Royal pagodas, and botanical gardens. Descend to Mae Chaem for a relaxing lunch at the local restaurant.
After lunch, ride on passing through pine forests until you reach Mae Sariang where you'll later enjoy your peaceful accommodation.
After breakfast, leave Mae Sariang to Mae Hong Son on narrow twisty curvy roads. In Khun Yuam, you will take a break and visit a World War II museum and Wat Phra That Doi Kong Mu, the first temple of Mae Hong Son on the hilltop. Lunch will be served at a local restaurant. Visit Lod cave which means "cave with a stream running through," on a bamboo raft.
Then, you'll be back on twisty curvy roads to Pai. You'll have an optional visit to Tha Pai hot spring where you can enjoy a mineral bath. Then you will reach a charming accommodation with swimming pool.
Before breakfast early in the morning, you will have a chance to offer food to the monks along the streets of Pai's local market. After breakfast, visit the Pai World War II Memorial Bridge. Then, you'll be back on winding mountainous roads to reach Chiang Dao where you will have a relaxing lunch at a local restaurant. After lunch, visit Chiang Dao cave.
You'll then ride along fantastic mountain roads via Doi Angkhang until you reach Tha Ton where you will visit the Wat Tha Ton on top of the mountain and enjoy the amazing sunset. Later, you will relax in your charming accommodation with a fantastic panoramic view.
After breakfast, you will leave Tha Ton to visit the long-necked Karen tribe village near the border of Thailand and Myanmar. Ride to Doi Mae Salong where Chinese mountain tea farmers live and test Thailand's best tea. Then, you'll be back on curvy roads to Doi Tung Royal Villa and visit the Winter Palace and the botanical garden. Lunch is served at the Royal's Project restaurant.
You'll continue along winding roads to Mae Sai, the northernmost point of Thailand, and visit Wat Tham Pla where you can feed some food to wild monkeys. At the Golden Triangle, you'll take a long-tail boat trip on the Mekong river for a short visit to a small village in Laos. You'll not need a visa. Visit the Opium museum before relaxing at your peaceful accommodation.
After breakfast, ride along a scenic farming areas road to Chiang Rai City. After that, visit the White Temple (Wat Rong Khun) one of the top 10 wonder temples in the world. Continue on a long highway ride until you reach Phayao, visit Phayao lake, Kwan Phayao, one of the largest lakes in Northern Thailand. Lunch is served at a local restaurant in front of the lake. Continue riding on windy mountain roads to Than Tong waterfall and Mae Kachan hot spring. Visit a local market, stopping for refreshment, before heading back to Chiang Mai.
The tour will start in the morning, at 08:30. Motorcycle Tours Thailand advises you to arrive at least one day before the tour start in Chiang Mai and they recommend arrival two days before tour start to acclimate and avoid jet lag.
The tour will finish about 16:00 - 17:00 back in Chiang Mai, so if you like to fly back the same day to Bangkok International Airport (BKK), you can easily catch any flight from Chiang Mai after 18:00.
You will drive on the left as in England and Australia. All speed limits are in kilometers per hour, 30 to 50 for towns, 60 for suburbs and 90 for major (A) roads and dual carriageways. You will happily cruise along the open road at a good clip, but you must always slow right down through the towns and villages, 50 kilometers per hour maximum. There are often kids, dogs, chickens, yak, etc., kicking around in the streets.
Also, if you see your guide braking, there's a good reason - and you should brake, too! Many Thais ignore the typical unwritten rules of road positioning and merging you are used to in the west. You will go over this in person so don't worry. There is always a "sweeper" and a service vehicle to make sure any riders caught by a traffic light or water buffalo crossing delay do not get separated from the group!
This motorcycle tour will take place in different places in Thailand namely Chiang Mai, Doi Inthanon, Mae Sariang, Mae Hong Son, Pai, Tha Ton, Golden Triangle, and Phayao.
Daily delicious meals and soft drinks are included in the price.
Every day, Motorcycle Tours Thailand will offer advice on the best things to see and do, but you're under no pressure to follow the (small) crowd. You can strike out on your own at any time and simply meet back up with the group when you're ready. Motorcycle Tours Thailand will have preferred routes mapped out for you - but anyway, you choose to arrive at the booked hotel is up to you!
There are elephants and water buffalo although you might not get there in time for dinner. On this motorcycle tour, you have the option to visit the Tha Pai hot spring, where you can enjoy a mineral bath.
Please book your flights to arrive at Chiang Mai International Airport (CNX). Transfer from and to this airport is included in the price. Motorcycle Tours Thailand will pick you up at the airport. Most customers touring with Motorcycle Tours Thailand usually come from Bangkok and in this case, they recommend traveling up to Chiang Mai by one of the many flights operating on this route. It is not expensive and with companies such as Air Asia. The earlier you book, the cheaper the flight.
The train (night train) is another option; however, the Thai train network needs a serious overhaul. Take a look at the difference between the train cost and the flight costs compared to one-hour flying time or a 12-hour train journey along with the fact that the trains are notoriously unreliable. The train option is usually the odd one out.
A lot of busses start every hour from Bangkok's Northern Bus Terminal (Mo Chit - Chatuchak) to Chiang Mai. Travel time with the bus will be around eight hours.
For this organizer you can guarantee your booking through BookMotorcycleTours.com. All major credit cards supported.

The concept for the first set of photos was 'awkwardness'. The both of them who answered that they were the awkward couple felt safe with the concept but then when the photographers told them to display a little skinship, the both of them started getting nervous. Especially in this older woman-younger man relationship, the woman was told forcibly to kiss the man on the cheek, making Hwang Bo and Hyun Joong extremely awkward and at a loss as to what to do.
However, the photographers were not deterred and kept on saying "Although receiving a forced kiss, the man should act out an expression as though he's tingling".
Hwang Bo said in the interview room that if it had been a dongsaeng, it wouldn't have been a problem, and that what was so difficult about a noona hugging or kissing a dongsaeng once. Hyun Joong said that he thought that if they were already asking them to kiss right from the first set of photographs, then what would come next in the later sessions, revealing the difficult photo session. However, he later disclosed his frank thoughts by saying that the feeling then was not bad at all.
Hwang Bo also brought her support force to the location that day, with Shin Ae Ra making a surprise appearance. Shin Ae Ra told Hwang Bo that inclusive of Cha In Pyo, she felt that she had four children, and that if it was a younger man, then it wouldn't feel like it was unfair, creating much laughter.
Hwang Bo- Hyun Joong's wedding photo shoot will continue in the next WGM broadcast next week.

East Coast Malaysia promotes eco-tourism industry
Malaysia's Terangganu State says the east coast is ripe for investment in Eco and Sports Tourism. Terangganu's Executive Councillor Toh Chin Yaw said the state, along with fellow east-coasters Kelantan and Pahang, offered a vast range of natural attractions like unspoiled islands, beaches and rainforests along with man-made facilities like Terangganu's endurance sports park.
Terangganu, famous for agriculture and more recently oil and gas development, is looking to develop other aspects of its economy and has begun to host international sports events to showcase its other attractions, especially in the rapidly growing eco-tourism industry.
Toh made his comments while on an investment mission to Xianen, representing Terengganu in the East Coast Economic Region Development Council at the 14th China International Fair for Investment and Trade (CIFIT 2010). He said the response from Chinese investors and government officials was positive.

However largely, Niccol writes and directs his personal tasks, which he tends to give a cold, oppressive feel. His characters are often rigid and repressed, reflecting their worlds' appreciable anxieties and frustrations. His latest film, the Netflix launch Anon, is another case in point. The movie takes place in a dystopic future where everyone has embedded technology that information their standpoint from infancy onward. They see the world by means of an augmented actuality lens that adds commercials to the buildings, playback mode for their very own endlessly recorded reminiscences, and a constant stream of information about everyone around them. Clive Owen stars as Sal, a detective whose job is more or less like a file clerk's: when against the law is committed, he shuffles through the folders of other individuals's memories till he sees who's guilty. But then corpses begin displaying up with their reminiscence feeds hacked, and no recorded proof of the crime.
Yeah. I've thought for a very long time that we've been given this false choice, When you have nothing to cover, then you don't have anything to worry.†That's not the purpose. I favor the way Amanda says it in the film: It isn't that I have one thing to cover, it's that I have nothing I need you to see.†Cambridge Analytica and Facebook are actually giving folks pause because they've given themselves up for nothing. It is all for convenience, and perhaps persons are thinking twice about that. Maybe that is an element to this. It is a cautionary tale.

We don't want to call our members stupid, but there's an awful lot of stories here: http://b3ta.com/questions/darwin/ * SUCKER - "First year at Uni, living in a 'Luxury, Catered Hall Of Residence'. We had fortnightly room inspections, the first of which I passed with flying colours, but was told to "hoover the carpet". Fair enough, I thought. The municipal Henry had died in an attempt to see how many pints of water some morons could feed it before it exploded. Five, apparently. It was 13 days before we got a replacement. So, the morning of the next inspection, I crawled out of bed, the room spinning from a night of too much cheap vodka and not enough sleep. I started hoovering. I wondered how powerful the suction was. I decided to put the pipe in my mouth. Turns out that a hoover can suck all the air out of your lungs, leaving you unable to breathe and a horrible dry feeling, deep inside. Takes a good fifteen minutes to recover from this rapid evacuation, during which time the room inspectors will find you, on the floor, mostly naked." (Kaol) * STUFFER - "When I was six I happily sat out in the garden and proceeded to jam the heads of my lego men up my nose. I managed about eight before I felt a bit woozy. I went to tell my mum about my achievement. She was not very happy, not very happy at all, as I was covered in blood and snot. One brief operation later, I remember a nice old man who looked like Obi Wan Kenobi telling me not to do it again. All went well for a couple of months, then I was back in casualty. This time I had managed to jam my R2D2 figure up my arse and the legs had come off inside me and were doing all sorts of mischief to my colon." (SpankyHanky) * SPACKER - "It's common sense that water and electric don't mix, which I why as a 7 year old running around my house having a water fight, I panicked after firing a shitload of water all over one of the light switches. I couldn't just leave it: I thought it might make my house set on fire. So I put my mouth over the light switch and tried sucking the water out. I shot back to the other side of the room and ended up curled up in a ball making ewok noises." (addikt) >> This Week's Question << We'd like your tales of hypocrisy.

Myself and fellow Metroer Ross McGuinness have very recently set up a site (we collectively know dick all about the mysterious inner workings of the interweb, so we've opted for a nice user-friendly free Wordpress blog). Here we basically shite on about two films that are (sometimes tenuously) connected in some way, and get people to vote on our arguments, and leave comments. Would be delighted if you checked it out, and possibly even give it a mention in the newsletter?"

Can someone do a suitably mental video please? And dub the Scooter bloke shouting "make some fucking noise" over it, as that would be more amusing than the actual version that exists. * CHRIS MARTIN FLOWER FAIRY.COM - have you noticed that Coldplay bloke moves likes a fairy? A proper clap-your-hands-or-they-die-tinkerbell-fairy? Can you lot photoshop fairy wings onto his back on all PR shots please? There's a dear. * STAMP LICK SOUP - we've always had a sneaky liking for the taste of stamp glue. Maybe it would make a tasty ingredient?

Today, we're dreaming of freshly cut grass, crisp morning air and plenty of sunshine that's soon to grace our days in McCall. Yes, golf season is on the brain and luckily Shore Lodge guests won't have to wait much longer to get out and enjoy Whitetail Club's award-winning course.
As the club's opening golf tournament is just a couple of weeks away now and many of us might need a little tune up before we tee off for the first time later this summer.
Whitetail Club's head golf professional and PGA pro, Todd Bidner, knows just how rusty a golf swing can get over the long winter months so he's got a few tee-shot tips that should help all of us stay on par for another memorable year of friendly competition on the fairway. Check out the following videos to learn how to:

Jews for Jesus News
Here is where you can share our joys and sorrows, know how to be praying for our outreach in Israel and read more of what's been going on regarding the controversy David Brickner mentioned in his article.
The Lord gives and the Lord takes away; blessed be the name of the Lord.
Even as Amer Olson (leader of our Chicago branch) and his wife Paige are anticipating the birth of their fourth child, Steve Wertheim (who assists David Brickner) and his wife Janie (who has contributed prominently to our children's and youth ministry) are mourning the loss of Janie's father, Paul Arotsky, who passed away last week.
Janie sang to, prayed over and reiterated the gospel to her father during his last days, but in his weakened state, he made no response that she could see, other than to show that he was listening.
Please pray for a safe and healthy delivery for the Olson baby, and for the adjustments the family will be making. Please also pray for the Wertheims to know God's continued peace and comfort amidst their sorrow, and also for Janie's brother Stuart, who does not know the Lord.
Behold Your God Israel
We need your prayers for our second Behold Your God Israel campaign. If you have not already signed up to receive the updates and prayer requests, you may do so by clicking here.
More on the Sarah Palin/Jews for Jesus controversy:
Susan Perlman reports, "MSNBC contacted us on Sunday to see if David Brickner was available to respond to the news stories on the Jews for Jesus/Sarah Palin "connection." While we need to be cautious as to how the media might use such an opportunity to portray the Lord, our ministry, and even Governor Palin, we also believe that God can provide such opportunities to actually clear up some of the misinformation. So David agreed to do the interview.
The reporter had a television crew come to the Brickner's home (after church) and used a speakerphone to conduct the interview. It lasted for half an hour, during which time the reporter repeatedly asked questions that seemed designed to lead David to condemn Israel or say something about terrorism as a result of God's judgment.
David made no such statement, and it could be that the network will not air the piece for that reason. However, we have no way of knowing how the interview was edited. Would you pray with us that God would be honored in this interview? Pray that if the tape was edited with the purpose of perpetuating misinformation, that it will not make it on the air. But please also pray that if David's gospel statements were left intact, the public will have the opportunity to hear it. We were told that if the segment airs, it will be in the next few days.
Jews for Jesus in Minnesota
Alan Bond reports,
You may think the 3 'R's' stand for reading, writing and 'rithmatic, but two staff and a volunteer from the Chicago branch of Jews for Jesus found the first two days of September to be filled with Rainclouds, Riots and Republicans. We drove the 400 miles to St. Paul hoping the Lord might use us at the scene of the Republican National Convention.
The opening day activities were upstaged by tropical storm Gustav, but we found a smorgasbord of viewpoints flowing freely from a park right across from the downtown library. This was as close as any non-deputized citizens were allowed to approach the convention center.
The first half of our sortie (tract passing expedition) was rather uneventful, while the second half was perhaps too eventful! Helmet and armor clad police troops stood in battle array, forming a line over park lawn, street, through the middle of an intersection, …facing some yet unseen enemy perhaps a block or two to the north.
We went back to the park where MSNBC had their sound stage and spent twenty minutes or so handing our broadsides to reconvening delegates on their way back from lunch. When the pedestrian flow once again died down, we decided to move to the Minnesota State Fairgrounds for what proved to be the final day of that long event, and greeted many families with the gospel.
The following day, we joined over 40,000 new and returning students at the University of Minnesota, as we were dancing with thunderstorms. We caught the two main morning class changes and the three of us handed out between 3000 and 4000 broadsides.
Micha Cohen adds:
We met a huge variety of people at the Republican National Convention on Labor Day. The first person I spoke to was a Somali Muslim. Thankfully our volunteer, Shamira, speaks Arabic. The two of them spoke for a long time, and he was willing to receive information about an evangelistic web site that has some information geared for Muslims.
One website had sent people to the convention to hand out fliers telling people about how Israel is the only country in the Middle East that has freedom of the press. Seeing our "Jews for Jesus" T-shirts, they asked me what I believed about Jesus, did I support Israel, what did I think about Iran, and so forth. I tried to keep bringing the conversation back to Jesus. Another man with the press came and interviewed Alan, asking what his message was. He replied, "We want to see Jesus elected KING in the hearts of men."

This is some stuff I found helpful, challenging, interesting, or amusing today that I think may enrich your day as well...
You already have a platform…
Only One Platform Will Last –Karen Swallow Prior
I don't think platform is quite what many imagine it to be.
Our real platform is the life we are living and the work and ministry we are already doing. Platform is our proven track record and the authority we've gained in whatever area God has called us to—whether we work out of the home and take care of children, or teach and research as a professor…
In the end, that's what we're all called to do with our platforms: serve others and, in so doing, glorify God. There is no place better from which to do that than in our everyday lives.
A few of these may seem counter-intuitive, but that's exactly why they are so important to keep in mind…
5 Key Principles Every Leader Should Master
–Carey Nieuwhof
Here are 5 principles I think about almost every day. The first three relate to the personal health of the leader. The final two are two of the key concepts that I think should drive much of what's happening in church these days, but often don't.
Like most worthwhile principles in leadership, these are easy to understand and much more difficult to implement.
But if you do stay focused on these 5 things, I believe you'll see a marked improvement in your leadership and character. And that can only be a good thing.
David French is correct…
O'Reilly, Ailes, and the Toxic Conservative-Celebrity Culture –David French
The conservative movement includes some of the best and most admirable people I've ever met. It also includes its share of grasping, ambitious fame-hounds, people who live for the next Fox hit and angle to write this year's version of the "liberals are sending this country to hell" bestselling book. But bad character sends a country to hell just as surely as bad policy does, and any movement that asks its members to defend vice in the name of advancing allegedly greater virtue is ultimately shooting itself in the foot.
3 Problems with the Benedict Option –Jesse Johnson
The fall of our culture didn't start with gay marriage, the sexual revolution, no-fault divorce, or even those darned hippies. The string that pulled the garment apart runs through segregation, slavery, and right to systemic racism produced by a supposed "Christian culture." Is SSM bad? Yes. As bad as slavery? Yeah Right.
Imagine being an African-American and reading a book that claims the downfall of Western Civilization is indicated by Justice Kennedy's incoherent ruling on gay marriage—as if that was the straw that broke the camel's back, so now everyone head to the hills! Christians could be comfortable in society through slavery and segregation, but Obegerfell is just too much?

text: I spent about 10 minutes on a clickbank promo typing a short review and posting on a random site. That 10mins turned into $10. Easiest money ever made in my entire life. So I finally found something that works for me that I can make bank off of. Unfortunately I don't have the tools to replicate what I want to do on a massive scale. So my questions are as follows: Is there anything I should be worried about when making multiple youtube accounts? (I assume i need to make some of them on a few proxy servers using sandboxie.) What do you all recommend as far as proxy servers? I've used these a couple of times when playing Diablo II back in the day, but those were given to me. Is there anything that Clickbank can ban me as far as posting on YouTube and various sites? I want to thank everyone in advance, and again thank everyone on this forum that are persistent to tell everyone "Keep an open mind", and "Go out there and try it, just don't sit there."

Alcoholism is a chronic disease in which one's body and mind become alcohol-dependent and a person loses total control over drinking. Alcoholics continue drinking even when faced with serious health hazards, breakdown in family or social relationships, serious impact on their finances or work situation.
Alcoholism is an illness of disappointment, of depression, of denial and of wrecked relationships consisting primarily of inability to control alcohol intake.
No Worry No Tension Healthcare provides a serious treatment programme which help people recover from alcoholism. Our treatment covers a regime of medications, counselling and extorting patients to enroll as part of self-help groups that are available within India and overseas.
If you or someone you care about has alcohol-related problems, you may feel being unfairly subjected to extreme hardship. Remember, you are not alone! Up to 30% of people taking alcohol develop temporary alcohol-related life problems. Fortunately, very safe and effective treatments are now offered by No Worry No Tension Healthcare to help people get rid of alcohol problems completely and to lead a satisfying, productive life.
Over time, drinking too much changes the chemical balance of one's brain. Alcohol not only depresses one's central nervous system, its long-term use creates a feeling of sedation. A heavy drinking binge may even cause a life-threatening coma. If you feel that you don't have control over your drinking, talk with our specialists at No Worry No Tension Healthcare.
Delay in seeking help may often cause serious health problems which may include: peripheral neuropathy, alcoholic hepatitis & cirrhosis, cardiomyopathy, pancreatitis, gastritis, peptic ulcer, cerebral atrophy and cerebellar degeneration etc. It can thus affect any organ of the body from head to toe.
The illness is treatable, yet it can be progressive and fatal when left untreated Alcoholism affects people from all walks of life, from the homeless drunk to the chairman of the board, who only lately, has been making poor corporate decisions. It can be the sullen husband, to formerly brilliant graduates whose worsening performance predicts a premature end to a promising academic career. Drinking behaviour is usually associated with multiple factors. It is a myth that alcohol is a stimulant; actually, alcohol is a known depressant that acts only temporarily reducing fear and anxiety, which may further encourage drinking, thus initiating a vicious cycle.
It is a chronic disease in which one's body and mind gets dependent on alcohol and one loses total control over drinking. Alcoholics continue to drink even when faced with serious health hazards or breakdown in family or social relationships and impacts their ability to work.
Alcoholism is influenced by genetic, psychological, social and environmental factors that have an impact on how it affects your body and behaviour. There is also a correlation between easy access to alcohol (cheap prices) and alcohol abuse. Likewise, people who have friends who drink regularly or abuse alcohol are more likely to drink excessively and eventually have an alcohol problem.
Alcoholism can be treated by detoxification and de-addiction which includes medication, counselling and rehabilitation.
If one is highly motivated to leave alcohol with good social or family support, chances of relapse are less. It has been seen that 40-60% of people who take treatment seriously can leave alcohol permanently.

Product DetailsA Woody Allen Manhattan mosaic, Hannah and Her Sisters concerns the lives, loves, and infidelities among a tightly-knit artistic clan. Hannah (Mia Farrow) regularly meets with her sisters Holly (Dianne Wiest) and Lee (Barbara Hershey) to discuss the week's events. It's what they don't always tell each other that forms the film's various subplots. Hannah is married to accountant and financial planner Elliot (Michael Caine), who carries a torch for Lee, who in turn lives with pompous Soho artist Frederick (Max Von Sydow). Meanwhile, Holly, a neurotic actress and eternal loser in love, dates TV producer Mickey (Allen), who used to be married to Hannah and spends most of the film convinced that he's about to die. Appearing in supporting parts are Lloyd Nolan and Maureen O'Sullivan (Farrow's real mom), as the eternally bickering husband-and-wife acting team who are the parents of Hannah and her sisters. The film begins and ends during the family's traditional Thanksgiving dinner, filmed in Farrow's actual New York apartment. Unbilled cameos are contributed by Sam Waterston as one of Wiest's brief amours and Tony Roberts as one of Allen's friends. Hannah and Her Sisters collected Oscars for Michael Caine, Dianne Wiest, and Woody Allen's screenplay.

Bow down to www.ruled.me, everyone. What an awesome site with great FAQs and recipes. I find the majority of my keto dessert's from his site, and not one has ever let me down.
Every Wednesday we alternate Family Dinner Night at our house and my sister's house. And every Wednesday we try to outdo each other dessert-wise. It's awesome to have so many family members who are jumping in on keto.
This past Wednesday we had pizza (using carbalose flour, a post for another time) and I made a keto shortcake. I didn't have any unflavoured protein powder so I just chocolate flavoured and I would do this substitute again. I also didn't make the jam as suggested, I just cut up a bunch of strawberries, added them and water to a pot, put in some erythritol and boiled it for a bit before simmering and then mashing to create a jam. Whipping cream is 35% cream with Torani Sugar Free Caramel Syrup whipped together.
Delicious! 6 net carbs per slice, 6 slices total.
