Fantastic report Tomcal. Thank you! You do get around. Damm, I wish I had as much energy as you do!

Rio de Janeiro, Brazil (CNN) -- Bare brick houses stacked one on top of another cling to the hills of Rio de Janeiro. Raw sewage trickles down the winding paths of these shanty towns, known as favelas, and in many, shootouts between drug dealing gangs and police are a daily ritual. The shanty towns are resented and feared by the rest of the city. But residents in the Santa Marta slum have transformed their community into a living, breathing canvas. With the help of two Dutch artists and a pioneering paint firm, the main square is now a kaleidoscope of color. "It gives the community life!" said Edimar Marcelinho Franco, who helped paint the 34 buildings and walked away with a professional painting title. "People who come to the favela today say, 'Wow, how pretty.' It doesn't have that image of an ugly favela," he said. The project is the brainchild of Dutch artists Dre Urhahn and Jeroen Koolhaas, who visited Rio's favelas for the first time in 2005 to shoot hip hop videos. http://edition.cnn.com/2010/WORLD/americas/11/17/brazil.beautiful.favela/index.html

I have had over 100 massages in Hero and never once did they ask to wear a condom for oral. They will suck without out and then put one one for anal if that was what you were going for. I was a bit surprised to see this. I'll give Hero a try on my next trip to Bangkok and report back here as the rules may have changed. And, personally, I don't care if they use condoms with oral as long as they are good at it.

The manager of a child prostitution ring has been arrested for the second time in Pattaya for the sale of under aged children to foreign clients for sexual gratification. Pattaya, 16th November 2010 [PDN] At 10.30pm Police Lieutenant Colonel Kreetha Tonkhanarat, head of the Child and Women Protect Center from Police Gendarme Region2, along with his team and an arrest warrant number 911/2553 signed on 28th October 2010 for the arrest of Mr. Traiphop Bunphasong [40] from Sinkburi, an internet shop owner, for child abuse and providing children for prostitution. The suspect was arrested in the SF Cinema on the 6th floor, Central Festival, Pattaya Beach Road, whilst watching a film. Mr. Bunphasong had been arrested previously on 4th July 2010 for child abuse and providing children for prostitution by the same officer and taskforce, but was later bailed. According to recent records relating to the Child and Women Protection Center, Police Gendarme Region 2 officers had apprehended several foreign suspects who had committed offences of child abuse with further investigations showing that Mr. Bunphasong managed the prostitution of the boy

There is very little that I would ever put past the TSA or Customs. I have given my opinion of them and they do seize laptops with no warning and no information given. When you enter the USA, you loose all rights as an American citizen. It is no wonder that people from other countries hate traveling to USA.

Does anyone use this that LIVES in Thailand? I have friends in the USA that love it and swear by it for over a year but I am not sure if the calls are free if your IP is based in Thailand. Anyone know? http://www.macworld....e&lsrc=rss_main The Ooma Telo is an affordable and versatile landline-replacement home-phone system, one that delivers unsurpassed call quality. It's like Vonage without the monthly subscription charges, and like the MagicJack without the computer requirement. Consequently, it's my favorite landline replacement to date. When you buy the stylish Telo adapter ($250), you effectively buy free local and long-distance phone service for life. Ooma offers highly competitive international rates, too, as well as free calls to other Ooma owners. The adapter plugs directly into your router or broadband modem, and it works with existing phone handsets. The Ooma Telo's calling features are somewhat limited: You get voicemail, call waiting, and caller ID, but that's it. If you want more telephony bling, Ooma Premier adds a second line, three-way calling, voicemail via e-mail, and a host of privacy features. The Telo includes a 60-day Premier trial; after that, a subscription to Premier will cost you $10 per month or $120 annually. Sign up for a year and Ooma will waive its rather steep $40 fee for porting an existing number (which you can skip if you want to choose a new number anyway). As with Vonage, you have to pay a few dollars each month for various taxes and fees--with or without Premier. Even the rates for Premier are still significantly lower than those for Vonage. And in my tests, Ooma's call quality was far superior to that of Vonage or Google Voice, and on a par with that of NetTalk Duo. I made and took calls with both my old Uniden cordless phone system and Ooma's fancy Telo Handset ($50), and the audio sounded crisp and echo-free every time. I especially liked the Telo Handset's optimized design for the service: It supports one-button voicemail retrieval and permits syncing with Outlook 2007 contact lists. Ooma offers a couple of interesting extras not matched by Vonage or any other VoIP service. The first is an optional Bluetooth adapter ($30) that pairs your cell phone with your Telo so you can answer incoming mobile calls on your home phone. That very convenient feature worked beautifully on my iPhone. In addition, ycan use your Bluetooth headset for calls around the house, another nice perk. Speaking of iPhones, a new Skype-like Ooma app lets you make calls over 3G or Wi-Fi, with your own phone number appearing as the Caller ID at the other end. I wouldn't mind the $10 fee for the app if calls were free, but, like Skype, Ooma charges extra (1.9 cents/minute) for calls to anyone except other Ooma users. The complementary iPhone app is the only real misfire in an otherwise exceptional product.

I have been told that the new Flamingo Apartments are to open soon and most likely in the next month. They are busy working hard to get this place up to par. I am interested in seeing how well they redo the place.

Here is the word of the week: moue \MOO\, noun: A pouting grimace. The model's professional moue dissolved into pure sensation. -- Anthony Haden-Guest, "(Art) Project Runway," New York Observer, November, 2010 Dorian Gray stepped up on the dais with the air of a young Greek martyr, and made a little moue of discontent to Lord Henry, to whom he had rather taken a fancy. -- Oscar Wilde, The Picture of Dorian Gray Moue is a loan word from the French for "mouth and lips."

What were the first bars in Boyztown? I remember that a history of this area was written somewhere. Does anyone have a link?

I learned that NO ONE that loves you calls after 1AM. Only BS calls. To that end, I have started to turn my cell phone off after that time.

I was really impressed with this kid. Watch the video. It is pretty amazing. I wish I had his tenacity when I was 30. http://nymag.com/daily/intel/2010/11/fourteen_year-old_michigan_stu.html?f=most-commented-24h-5%3Fbctid%3D665136199001%3Fbctid%3D665136199001

If you are like me, I love The Beatles. I love listening to them and I have wanted their full collection for years. I have patiently waited for their collection on ITunes. It is now live. You can purchase every song from the Beatles collection. I have already purchased and downloaded the set and have really enjoyed listening to it.

I was at Street Life and noticed they were having a Thanksgiving special. If it is going to be anything like the old Amore, it will be a great meal. I also see that Richard's in Bangkok has a special for Thanksgiving. Any other places that are going to have full menus for this special day?

What plans do you have for Loy Kratong Festival for this Sunday, Nov. 21. Are there some great parties going on around Thailand?

They are already selling them online and the good seats are filling up. If you want to see it opening weekend, you might want to book in advance as if history tells anything, this will be just as hot an item as before. I went to see the last on in Bangkok and we got there 3 hours early and had to sit in the front row. So, this time I booked early and in advance so I'll be able to enjoy the next to last movie in this fantastic series!

As I have been told by friends that this place is a must go, I plan to head there today to give it a try. I'll report back on my meal. Are there any recommendations for sandwiches. I like just about anything except Pastrami.

There is more here than Thai Air. Most that travel inside the country don't use them but instead use Air Asia or Nok Air or some of the smaller airlines like Bangkok Air. I would wait. I don't think it will be that much of a difference.

I would never buy tickets from the USA. I would always buy in Thailand from a travel agent. They are cheap and get the best fare on all the airlines. I would wait till you arrive to get the plane fares. I think you will find it easier and cheaper. IMHO

I think that Blaine may transfer? I think he is cute but not as yummy as the blond boy. I'll eat the blond boy for dinner and slurp up Blaine for desert. I love a nice full meal. I hope they pursue this as the show is so popular and I think the more gay characters are developed on shows, the more acceptance we all receive. BTW: I did love the big jock football kiss. Nice twist!

Something I have been waiting for for a very very long time. I hope that the release is unconditional and allows her the freedom she so deserves. http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/world/la-fg-aung-san-suu-kyi-freed-20101114,0,4357514.story Opposition leader and Nobel laureate Aung San Suu Kyi was freed Saturday in Myanmar after years in detention as a huge crowd presented flowers and chanted "Long Live Suu Kyi." Soldiers armed with rifles and tear gas launchers pushed aside the barbed-wire barriers blocking her street at 5:15 p.m., leading to a gleeful dash the final 100 yards to her gate. Twenty minutes later, the slight pro-democracy opposition figure known here simply as "the lady" popped her head over her red spiked fence to a roar from jubilant supporters. "It's very happy to see the people," she said, barely audible over the chanting. "It's been a very long time since I've seen you."

I unchecked a box in the Admin to test if you guys like the Attached images to load without the thumbnails. We have so many fucking amazing guys posting hot images that I thought some might like to see them without thumbnails. To test this, go into the photo forum and see some of the threads and let me know if you like this or it needs to be reverted to thumbnails. Majority rules.

In Brazil, you can sit with a guy and make out or play with them before the programma. If this is something you are doing to get off as opposed to getting ready for a session, you may get in trouble. It is not something I would do. I would not sit and make out with a guy for a while without compensation. However, I would kiss him to test the waters. If those waters are shallow, I might forgo that programma. However if those waters are deep and wet, I feel I should go ahead and take the plunge. What is to stop the boy from going all the way? Money. and maybe the club itself. They don't want sex going on in the public from my understanding but I could be wrong. I do not think appropriate for someone to go around yanking dicks all night. I see it often in many places. It is just not something I do. To each his own. But, I feel that the boys deserve as much respect and professionalism as possible. I hope I answered your question. If not, ask more. I love talking about yanking dicks.
