I have a user who is having issues with logging into the site. Has anyone else been having issues? Please e-mail me at gaythailand.com@gmail.com Thanks.

Put me on a definite Maybe. I never know till time gets closer where I'll be. But, I'd love to be there. I don't think the competition is an issue. Clients need to remember that once they are done with a boy that someone else may have a go. It should not be a jealousy issue. That is stupid. The boys are there to work and are no one's possession. They can easily handle 3 or 5 guys in one day. On my last trip with Tomcal to Porto Alegre, his friend and I have the exact same tastes. I did not want to interfere with his fun so he went with the boys he wanted and when he was out of the room, I took them up for another short time. The boys were happy and so were his customers. PS I put an announcement on the home page about this. If you have an banner that you do for this send to me and I'll put there as well!

If my last trip with you is any indication of your Rio trips, I would think your estimates here are really low.

I have a friend that is getting ready to move to Atlanta. He is older and likes gay bars and gogo boys. Is Atlanta gay friendly? I was always told it was. But, have things changed?

Panasonic does seem the way to go. More and more movies are made into 3D and they will be offering them on DVD's and kids love them. 3D TV's are going to be around for a long time to come. Has anyone played with the Microsoft game gadget that moves to your body? I did the other day and it was pretty fucking cool. It was like a Wii but with your body and no remote.

I hope this is the case as well. The article said: As for the video ... the source tells us it was shot by one of Miley's friends -- and the theory is someone stole or copied the video from that friend's camera. Miley needs to know that none of her friends can be trusted with cameras or video for anything she does. No matter what. No one. She deserves a private life and I wish the paparazzi would leave her alone. They have been on her since before she went through puberty. Like KYTOP, I think she may have a hard time adjusting. But, if she surrounds herself with good people,she will make it.

She is a beautiful young lady. Not sure why this is her mode of dress.

Westboro Baptist Church is saying they are going to protest her lifestyle at the funeral. These people, as we all know are nuts, but I wonder if there is anyone in Elizabeth's state that is good with waterboarding? I'd love to see these people get a good dose of their own medicine. They are deplorable inbreds.

Feel free to post your Xmas wishes here. Happy Holiday Season to all!

The Atlanta City Council has voted 14-0 to award the Atlanta Eagle Bar $1 million in response to a federal lawsuit filed by a private attorney on behalf of 19 clients unjustly arrested in a botched police raid last September, according to a report by WTVM News 9 and the Associated Press. The night of Sept. 10, 2009, four dozen police crashed the Underwear Night special event at the Atlanta Eagle, slamming patrons to the floor, using homophobic slurs, and arresting and detaining 62 people. Police targeted the gay bar on the pretext of illicit sex and drugs, allegations that were never proven. The owner of the Eagle, Richard Ramey, went immediately on the offensive against the raid, saying to The Atlanta Journal Constitution on Sept. 12, 2009, ”Our problem is with the way our customers were treated.” Nick Koperski, a bar patron present at the time of the raid, said in the same article: “I’m thinking, this is Stonewall. It’s like I stepped into the wrong decade.” The Atlanta Police Department refused to cooperate with an investigation by the Atlanta Citizens Council. Charges brought against employees and patrons either failed to win convictions, collapsed for lack of evidence, or were otherwise dismissed, according to a report by EDGE. Last March eight employees of the bar were found not guilty of trumped up charges by the Atlanta Police Department in a ruling handed down in Municipal Court. Investigations into the raid found that the Atlanta Police Department did not have a warrant to raid the bar on the night in question. Mandatory revisions to police procedures will be carried out in response to the settlement. The vindication of the Atlanta Eagle stands in sharp contrast to the outcome of the Fort Worth Police Department’s infamous raid on the Rainbow Lounge just months before the Atlanta debacle. Like the Georgia raid, all charges against patrons arrested at the popular Fort Worth gay bar have been dropped without comment from the city. for the full story: http://www.dallasvoice.com/justice-prevails-atlanta-eagle-raid-rainbow-lounge-1055292.html

Their rates are great. They pick you up at your hotel/apartment in Pattaya or Bangkok and deliver you to the next city for 350 baht. I have several friends who love the service and use it often. I was planning on giving it a try today but something came up. Here is their link: http://www.belltravelservice.com/

I just download this and found it interesting. I don't fully understand how it works. What is the point? Does anyone use this to hook up? Is it only a video cam? Does it allow IM's?

A strong willed and very courageous lady died today. She will be missed. (CNN) -- Elizabeth Edwards, the estranged wife of 2004 vice presidential candidate and former North Carolina senator John Edwards, died Tuesday after a lengthy battle with cancer. She was 61 She died at the family home in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, according to a statement released by the family. "Today we have lost the comfort of Elizabeth's presence but she remains the heart of this family," the statement said. "We love her and will never know anyone more inspiring or full of life." Edwards was diagnosed with breast cancer shortly after her husband lost his bid for vice president in November 2004. John Edwards, a one-term Democratic senator, was Massachusetts Sen. John Kerry's running mate. For the entire story: http://edition.cnn.com/2010/POLITICS/12/06/elizabeth.edwards.obit/index.html?hpt=T2

This season has been one of the best IMHO. The season finale is next week. I can't wait to see the end. It looks like an explosive hour. Anyone else keeping up with it for the entire season? Do you think his lady will live?

I had dinner there with 2 very well-known celebs in the gay Thailand board arena. Both were enjoyable company. But, I was shocked at the great dinner we had. It was a soup, salad, main course and desert and all for 285 baht. It was absolutely delightful and well worth every penny! They have several things to choose from and you can mix and match! Highly recommended!

All my friends use eztv.it You can get anything there only an hour after it airs. But, for those of us that travel into the USA, it is not a good idea as computers are often checked. I only use Itunes to download content.

I hope we always have great bookstores. But, I have not bought one in years and everything I buy now is on the Kindle.

Tiffany, Angelo and Hootie for the final 3. I think she is often discounted as she is such a odd bird. But, I think she can cook with the best of them. Tiffany is one of my favorites. Angelo is a dick but he can cook well.

Stay on Beachlover's original topic. Any further discussions outside of this will be moved.

I found this article particularly interesting as I have been reading a lot of Mike Anderson's books, The Rave Diet and Lifestyle. His philosophy is pretty much eat as much fresh fruit and vegetable as you want. All natural, all whole food.

Their world had been rocked, and the questions came fast and furious: A 31-year-old teacher from Midtown Manhattan who had barely touched a banana in six years wanted to know if she could really consume them with impunity. A small-business owner from TriBeCa wondered whether she was being nudged to part with that second (or third) glass of wine. And a woman with silky brown hair, on her way out the door after a Weight Watchers meeting in the basement of a Park Avenue South office building, had a particularly urgent need. They and others had been searching for answers and grappling with their implications since Sunday, when Weight Watchers began unveiling its first major overhaul to its cultlike points system, prompting the 750,000 members who attend weekly meetings across the United States — and some one million online adherents — to rethink how they shop, cook and eat. The new plan, company officials say, is based on scientific findings about how the body processes different foods. The biggest change: All fruits and most vegetables are point-free (or free of PointsPlus, as the new program is called). Processed foods, meanwhile, generally have higher point values, which roughly translates to: should be eaten less. “If I lived in the Caribbean, maybe I’d be able to make goal,” said Susan J. Slotkis, 64, an interior designer at the Park Avenue South meeting on Wednesday. “The pineapple is great; all the fruits are fresh; you’re never tempted to drink juice.” In the new system, oranges are free, but eight ounces of orange juice cost three points. When Weight Watchers introduced its points plan to Americans in 1997, it captivated a generation of women, propelling the company into a $1.4 billion empire. Weight Watchers points became a cultural touchstone: Restaurants like Applebee’s distributed special Weight Watchers menus; food companies like Healthy Choice listed points on their soup cans; and members bought Weight Watchers cookbooks, scales and points calculators. Members pay $12 to $15 a week to attend one of 20,000 weigh-ins and pep talks across the nation, or $65 to use the company’s Internet-monitoring program for three months. Under the old points plan, all participants were given daily and weekly allowances of points, based on their particular bodies, and each food, from apples to pepperoni pizzas, was given a point value, based primarily on the number of calories it contained, with slight adjustments for fat (bad) and fiber (good). “You could be holding an apple in one hand, which was two points, and you could be holding a 100-calorie snack pack of Oreos in the other hand, which was also two points,” David Kirchhoff, the president and chief executive of Weight Watchers International, said in a telephone interview. Now, all of that has been upended. The new system allots points based on a complex formula that considers each item’s mix of protein, fiber, carbohydrates and fat. Making it more confusing, most people are now given more total allowed points — a kind of new math that requires recalculation of what had been ingrained. Under the old system, for example, the average new member of Weight Watchers was allotted 22 daily points and an extra 35 weekly points. Now, the average new member is allotted 31 daily points and 49 weekly points. So while two potato latkes are now seven points instead of five, their portion of the total is about the same (too high). But a Burger King bacon double cheeseburger is still 12 points, making it slightly less objectionable under the new regime. And that little pack of Oreos? Up a point, to three. “It’s a complete overhaul; it doesn’t get any bigger than this,” said Karen Miller-Kovach, the chief scientific officer for Weight Watchers International. “Fifteen years ago we said a calorie is a calorie is a calorie. If you ate 100 calories of butter or 100 calories of chicken, it was all the same. Now, we know that is not the case, in terms of how hard the body has to work to make that energy available. And even more important is that where that energy comes from affects feelings of hunger and fullness.” Some people were drawn to the Weight Watchers point system by the idea that it seemed almost like an anti-diet: you could eat whatever you wanted, as long as you gauged the portion, counted the points and, if necessary, scrimped elsewhere. And while many members are lauding what one blogger described as a “Weight Watchers meets Michael Pollan,“ and celebrating the advent of the guilt-free fruit cup, others are pushing back. “I don’t want to be forced to choose veggies. I do NOT like veggies or fruit,” one member wrote in an online discussion on the Weight Watchers Web site. “I feel like I am being forced to ‘diet,’ and that is what I DO NOT WANT.” Kate A. Mack, 28, a high school English teacher in Allentown, Pa., questioned the timing of the shift, between Thanksgiving and New Year’s, long a challenging time for the weight-conscious (a half-cup of reduced-calorie egg nog, for the record, used to be three points and now is four, but remember, the allowed total has changed, too).

I agree with you. Fuck Oprah. But, don't you just love her Xmas shows?

MySpace just revamped its entire site. I really like it and think it is a drastic improvement. I haven't spent much time there over the past few years as Facebook took all my extra time. But, I'm willing to go back to MySpace to see what other improvements they are going to make. http://www.myspace.com/ http://www.myspace.com/video/vid/106899829

It looks like the clean up of Rio in anticipation of the Olympics and the World Cup have begun. I have no doubt promises were made to the committees who award those events that a clean up of the flavella's were guaranteed. Here it starts! BCC: The army in Brazil is to take on peacekeeping duties in the poor areas of Rio de Janeiro, which saw a week-long stand-off between security forces and drug dealers last month. Soldiers will patrol the Alemao and Penha districts to ensure hundreds of drug traffickers who had made the areas their stronghold would not return. Security forces arrested more than 100 people during their sweep of the area. It will be the army's first peacekeeping mission within Brazil. Defence Minister Nelson Jobim said the army would be able to draw on its years of experience heading the United Nation's peacekeeping mission in Haiti. Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva has approved the army's continued presence, which was requested by the governor of Rio state, Sergio Cabral. He had earlier praised the joint police and military operation and promised it would only be the start of a campaign to rid Rio of drugs gangs. The Alemao and Penha districts have been a stronghold of drugs traffickers and virtual no-go area for police for decades. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-latin-america-11920645

Anyone watching the newest season of Top Chef? This season they have the ones that almost won the past 7 seasons and it is going to be one hell of a season. Being a foodie myself, I love this show and this season looks like the best one yet!
