Sex in the monastery
Summary
We used to be shocked by sex scandals in the clergy. Given the endless stream of those wrongdoings, we no longer are. Heterosex has also become old news. The rage now is about gay and paedophile monks. The latest scandal involved an abbot in Nakhon Si Thammarat. His lover accused him of being unfaithful after finding out that the abbot had invited a group of teenagers to drink and party at his quarters. The last straw was reportedly the taint of semen on the abbot's mattress. Their quarrel turned violent. The jilted lover, after being beaten up, reported the matter to the police. The abbot fled and quit the monkhood to avoid arrest and forced disrobement. Having sexual intercourse, either straight or gay, is a cardinal sin in the monks' code of conduct. Their monkhood automatically ends once they commit the crime. When found out, they must be expelled from the clergy.
Personal Response
Our societies nowadays, good and bad persons are living together, in buddhism too. I think all monks should follow and keep all Sila of monks. Otherwise it will affect the image of Buddhism. If they cannot follow the rules, quit from monkhood is better. When monks no longer know what ordination and monkhood means, there is little hope for change.On the other hand, I do believe that there still have many of good pure heart monks who work for duty and never asking for anything in return.

Thailand gets an official cocktail
By: BangkokPost.com
Published: 21/02/2009 at 01:55 AM
One government branch wants all holiday alcohol sales banned, but another is luring tourists to the country to drink a few Siam Sunrays - made with "hazardous substances".
The Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) on Friday had a formal introduction of the new alcoholic drink, which it hopes will do for Thailand what the Manhattan did for New York - whatever that was.The TAT introduced a drink that it calls Siam Sunrays, and by fiat of the TAT, it is now the official signature cocktail of Thailand and "gives the Thai tourism and hospitality industries a much-needed boost."
The Siam Sunrays (TAT Photo)
It's made with vodka, syrup, lime juice and soda water and some Thai ingredients: coconut liqueur, chilli and ginger, a leaf of Kaffir lime and three slivers of lemon grass.Meanwhile, Public Health Minister Witthaya Kaewparadai is battling with his deputy minister Manit Nopamornbodi, who wants to ban all sales of all alcoholic beverages for the entire three-day Songkran (Thai New Year) holiday in mid-April."I don't want the anti-alcohol campaign to worsen the tourism industry," said Mr Witthaya last week, but Mr Manit insists that a 2008 beverage control law makes it mandatory to ban all sales of all alcohol during all major holidays. Their dispute continues.If that's not enough, bureaucrats of the industry minister have just declared that three key ingredients of the cocktail - chilli, giner and lemon grass - to be "hazardous substances" because they are used as pesticide ingredients by organic farmers.The TAT is deaf to all this. Siam Sunrays is a perfect drink for anyone, any time, and "is the distinctive taste of Thailand."Others might have thought that tom yang goong and Pad Thai were the distinctive tase of Thailand, but TAT sees tourists flocking to Siam Sunrays.Brand cocktails "can help raise awareness of the destination," TAT claimed in high-profile press release that also cited the Singapore Sling or the Cuban Mojito from Havana - "part of global cosmopolitan culture and recognised worldwide," it claimed."Successful signature drinks are one way to fast track holiday destinations on to the world tourism map," according to the un-credited writer of the TAT press release. And, "Visitors are always keen to have a taste of the local signature drink as part of their overall trip experience."According to the government agency, Siam Sunrays was created by Surasakdi Pantaisong. He won the 2008 national bartender contest, which by coincidence was sponsored by the TAT and the Thai Hotels Association, the two groups pushing the new alcoholic drink at the foreign public.The TAT did not mention the extra award and payment it gave to Mr Surasakdi for the drink and his permission to use it in national promotions.
Here is the full recipe for the Siam Sunrays, from the TAT website:
Ingredients
30-40 ml of Smirnoff vodka30 ml of coconut liqueur15 ml of syrup1/4 cm of Thai chilli pepper3 slices of young ginger1 Kaffir lime leaf3 slivers of lemon grass3 drops of lime juiceSoda water Preparation:

Summary: The Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) now have new alcoholic drink it name Siam Sunrays for the Thai tourism and hospitality industries. Blend is from Thai herb.
Personal Response: It a good idea for New alcoholic drink because it is strange from previously . That made Thai have New Product for entertain tourism and welcome to Songkarn Day.

Using context clues to teach vocabulary
Context clues
If the appropriate level of material is selected, student should understand
most of vocabulary. If the teaching material does not include unfamiliar
vocabulary, selections in other texts at a slightly higher level should present an opportunity for students to work on vocabuary using context clues.
As such, this material should introduce unfamiliar vocabulary followed by:
commas; dashes; and cohesion markers, such as, for example; the verb to be; relative clauses; and finally, sets of grammatically similar words used
in conjunction with the unfamiliar vocabulary item.
Easy clues
The first four are relatively easy, as many writers, knowinga vocabulary
item is likely to be unfamiliar, will follow it with an appositive or short
definition between commas or parenthesis, or will follow an obscure, low-
frequency vocabulary with a dash, followed by an explanation.
When dealing with vocabulary in context with students at a lower level, it
is best to limit efforts to finding reading passages using these four punctuation marks. They are relatively easy for students to find, invariably
offer a definition they can understand, and lend them-selves to quick reading.
Once students understand these clues, ask them to read selections later in the text an skim through looking for parenthesis and dashes, and quickly
report what word the author believes is unfamiliar and what the definition is. This is not only good practice, but it is also a genuine skimming exercise.
Not-so-easy clues
The text two ideas are a bit more difficult. When writers use the verb to be, students must first recognise that the predicate is the meaning and
then, if the explanation is not given as a synonym or antonym, spend the
time and or seek support to unravel the meaning.
In ture, relative clauses are a bit more difficult as more information is given and must be processed, which can slow down and frustrate readers.
It is best to lead students carefully into and through these examples by explaining how the relative clause is functioning in relation to the word described.
Time required
Understanding vocabulary in context takes time, more time at first for many students than using a dictionary, which means they need to have time and encouragement to try. Once students become comfortable with
these ideas, try to use this approach when presenting new vocabulary in
the various warm-up activities you employed.
Summary
This article talk about, students should not normally use a dictionary in class unless it is an English-to-English dictionary or the class is designed
to teach dictionary skills . However, as it is impossible to ask them to give
up dictionary cold turkey, they need to be encouraged not only to stop using dictionary, but also to leave them at home.
Personal Response
I think, students, they don't like reading English dictionary or English
books, because they feel to difficult and don't understand.
But,school or teacher must help or explain to students about English language is not difficult if students try to learn a little and more little....,
Sometime can doing English activity,like games,English singing contest.
to make them enjoy or fun with English language.

Personal Response
I think Twilight isn't going to be any great literary piece that will be cherished a hundred or even fifty years from now. I personally liked Twilight, and contrary to many opinions, it is not because I am a teen looking for love and romance. I thought that Stephanie Meyer did a fantastic job with the kind of book she wanted to write. I have to admit, thought, that it won't be a classic. Harry Potter maybe, not Twilight. And people please don't take this opportunity to bash Mrs. Meyer. How many people wrote four books and had it become the most popular saga in the USA?

The American in will attend to and give precedence very with the seeing advertise such as a newspaper, television, a magazine about health preservation and the cosmetic surgery. Exceed more than both of man and woman believe in that, want to do the cosmetic surgery, and have someone that want to lose weight. The research result meets that, majority people think the appearance is will the first impression when they meet. And they still believe in that doing cosmetic surgery will make them has looked good to go up then turn to may help them have better self-esteem.
In my opinion, the deliver judgment a person from outside appearance, that should not the proper thing. Because of, taking all of totals up a person from a person alone or from an anything just time that thing is something superficially person. And should not standard in something a person that good or bad? Besides, I think doing surgery that operation should do correct for what and deficient more than.

Personal Response
The first time I saw the preview to The Notebook, I was impress and had my heart set on seeing this film. Now, to be quite honest I am not a reader, but for some reason I had a gut feeling that this book would be worth my time, before watching the movie. After I purchased the novel, I sat down and finished it in one sitting. The entire novel had me drawn in and numerous emotions went through me as I read it. I couldn't put it down and waited impatiently for the film to be released into video stores. I purchased the movie because the book was incredible. At one point before watching the film I remember thinking the old saying of, "the book is always better than the movie."
