    Were you able to use the Advanced Uploader or did you use the Basic Uploader?

     

    If anyone has problems uploading pics from their laptop the very first step is to Clear Your Browser Cache.

     

    This resolves the problem about half the time.

     

    A slow internet connection, an old browser version, or old operating system are other possibilities.

     

    Invision provides the Advanced Uploader becasue itseasier when uploading multiple pics. But they also provide the Basic Uploader so that photos can also be uploaded if for whatever reason the Advanced is acting up.

    The Big LBR Non Google Trivia Quiz

    in Boiler Room

    Posted

     

        The Secretary was named William Seward by the way, played well in the 2012  movie Lincoln by David Strathairn of Bourne Ultimatum fame.

     

    How about Seward's other folly:

     

     

    Right in the heart of New York City stands a work of art which can only be described as a distortion of history. Most who take notice are none the wiser, believing it represents an authentic portrayal of a famous American figure.

     

    The piece in mind is a sculpture of William Seward, known for "Seward's Folly." Located in Manhattan’s Madison Square Park, named after our fourth President (James Madison), the area includes numerous statues of historical figures. Roscoe Conkling is also depicted– a member of the House and Senate who collapsed in the Park during the famous “Blizzard of 88” (1888) rather than spend money for a taxicab ride home. Chester A. Arthur, our 21st President, appears, along with Admiral David Farragut, famous for the line, “damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead." But those statues are legitimate, reflecting in size and features precisely who they purport to be.

     

    Much to the purist’s chagrin, the same cannot be said for the statue at the southwest entrance of the Park, diagonally across the street from The Flatiron Building (originally the "Fuller" building). There lies a statue of our former Secretary of State, Mr. Seward. While most of us, from our early school days, remember hearing and studying about “Seward’s Folly,” sometimes referred to as “Seward’s Icebox” (for his 1867 purchase of Alaska from Russia for what was first believed to be a useless piece of land only to be found to have gold and oil several years after Seward’s death), most of us know nothing more about him. However, he had quite a distinguished political career in becoming the 12th Governor of New York State, a US Senator, and Secretary of State under Presidents Abraham Lincoln and Andrew Johnson. On April 15, 1865, in a mastermind plot to assassinate this country’s three top officials, Secretary of State Seward, third in line for the Presidency, was seriously injured.

     

    Most visitors to the Park would probably not even notice this statue, and if they did, would barely give it a second thought. However, there is a lot more than what meets the eye. The artist, Randolph Rogers was commissioned in 1876 to sculpt the statue of Seward but as one story goes funds were short so only the head of the statue of Mr. Seward was sculpted. As an old sculpted body of Abraham Lincoln was just lying around, it was supposedly utilized for the remainder of the statue to meet budget concerns, believing that probably few people would ever know the difference. Another account, but never confirmed, was that the statute was originally designed to be that of President Abraham Lincoln but upon second thought it was decided that the statue should honor Mr. Seward. As the body of Lincoln had already been sculpted and erected, those in charge, as it has been rumored, supposedly felt it would be too costly to demolish what had already been sculpted, so they opted to simply place Seward’s head atop the body of Lincoln.

     

    The only problem with this scheme was that President Lincoln stood 6’4” and dwarfed the diminutive Seward. It was often said the one could not tell if Mr. Seward were sitting or standing as there appeared to be no apparent height differential from either position. Lincoln was purported to be a full foot taller than Seward. Regardless of which story is true, there is no doubt that the body of this statue is not that of one, William H. Seward.

     

    So if you have the opportunity to visit Madison Square Park, don’t miss viewing this statue and take note of the vast extremities of the statue’s limbs and hands with the bust of William Seward. Walking Tour Guides enjoy telling the story about this statue with some even taking poetic license to embellish it, but nonetheless audiences are amazed to learn of the serious flaw and how one famous US leader’s head had been placed on the body of a former President. Perhaps on your visit and examination of this statue you may feel this is indeed Seward’s other “folly.”

     

    Here's three questions about the Madison Square Park, Flatiron area.  You win if you get just one right!

     

    What "high end fast food joint" is on the southeast corner of Madison Square Park?

     

    or

     

    How did the phrase 23 skidoo originate?

     

    or

     

    What were two future locations of Madison Square Garden?

    Obsession ~ NEP

    in Bangkok

    Posted

    A str8 mate had to spend a night in Bangkok and I recommended that he go to Obsessions and was curious what he thought of it.

     

    He was blown away by it, said it was amazing, and if he met the girls individually they would have passed to him as ladies.

     

    I always thought Obsessions had the "wow" factor, maybe because you are so close to these beauties on stage.

     

    Though perhaps the seating arrangement in Cascade night be better for other reasons.

    GRETA: Shame on Pathetic, Cruel Thailand

    in Boiler Room

    Posted

    Fox News commentator, Greta Van Whatever calls Thailand lame. 

     

     

    By Greta Van Susteren

    Let's go "Off the Record" just for a minute. The country of Thailand, well, they get the prize - the prize for being the lamest country of the day.

     

     

    Yeah, I know. Putin rolling over President Obama and annexing Crimea is pretty bad, perhaps making Russia look like today's lamest country. But Russia is no surprise; we expect bad behavior from them. The award goes elsewhere, to the surprise, Thailand. We never suspected them of being so awful - more accurately, cruel. How cruel?

     

    Well, while the world has been frantically looking for Malaysia Flight 370, which really means we are looking for 239 missing souls, hoping they might be in alive, but obviously in trouble, Thailand has been sitting on the fact that its military detected a plane thought to be Flight 370 just minutes after the jumbo jet's communications went down. Yes, for more than 10 days, Thailand didn't bother to tell anyone. Why? Well, because they are jerks.

     

    And their excuse is pathetic. They say they did not tell because no one asked them. Really? No one asked them? That's their excuse? That's pathetic, and it's cruel. Shame on Thailand. Yes, Thailand, that same country the world rallied to help when they got hit by a tsunami in 2004. That Thailand.

    The Pattaya Times

    in Ladyboy Scene

    Posted

    This seems to tie in with an incident yesterday evening.  I was planning to stroll through Mike Mall about 4.30 pm but the place was closed.  The Thai guys said something but I did not take it in.  This morning my other half overheard a conversation in a mini van that there was a red shirt bomb scare in the mall.

    There were also three bombings in Chiang Mai last night.

     

    Maybe the Pattaya Music Festival is not the safest place to be.

    Pattaya Bars Off The Beaten Track

    in Ladyboy Bars

    Posted

    I edited my original post because the bar is on the LEFT side.

     

    I can't find it on xyzzy's map though.  Figure it probably had a recent name change.

     

    OK, New Plaza is not really off the beaten track, but I didn't know where else to put this.

     

    As you are walking through New plaza from 2nd Road to Soi Buakhao, on the LEFT side is Full Moon Bar (not to be confused with Full Moon Bar on Soi 6).

     

    As I passed by tonight there were 4 ladyboys.

     

    Went in to investigate.  At least one just visiting.

     

    Leo was 50 baht.  (5 baht higher than the bars in the middle but the hong nam is free)

    UK Passport Fees Reduced For Those Who Apply Overseas

    in Boiler Room

    Posted

     

    This ministerial statement was laid in the House of Commons by James Brokenshire on 13 March 2014.

     

    Immigration and Security Minister (James Brokenshire): Her Majesty’s Passport Office is committed to delivering better value for money for our customers.

     

    In keeping with this commitment, I am pleased to announce that from 7 April the passport fee for customers applying for a UK passport overseas will be reduced by £45 for adults and £28.50 for children. The new fees are as follows: Adult 32 page passport £83.00 Child 32 page passport £53.00 Jumbo 48 page passport £91.00 (Child and Adult)

     

    This reduction comes as a result of efficiency savings made over the last 3 years by bringing back the processing and issuing of overseas passports to the UK, whilst maintaining the highest levels of security and customer service.

     

    This reduction follows the 2012 decrease in fee by £5 for all UK citizens applying within the UK.
