  1. once you start to look for something to rent or buy, you will quickly learn that this is helpful info. i've used every real estate company here and the new guy from england at 'perfect home' and 'elite property' are my only two good experiences. i've gone thru horror stories that you could not make up.

  2. Might come down? Might? Please come down, join the discussion group and i'll tell you why we did not go with some of the films mentioned and why FARGO won out, until then it will remain a riddle. you don't want to mumble FARGO on your death bed and have those around you wonder what it means. if you live in a castle ok, but not for us normal folk.

    239 Nimmanhaemin, if it's not raining out we'll have a FARGO sign out and certainly have FARGO signs located on the campus.

  3. fitzcarraldo was my first pick, then viewed it again and realized that it's a three hour movie. one of my favorite movies of all-time, but not a household name, when one wants to fill seats first night out. werner was actually my neighbor back home when i lived there and yes, a 1-2 month werner-athon would be wonderful.

  4. hi don -

    thanks for the feedback.

    i think 95% of most films ever made are available on various websites. our intention is to offer a small handful of high quality movies and build an audience that trusts our opinion, direction and instincts. after quizzing several Xpats, they were not so inclined to see Fitzcarraldo, Wings of Desire or other movies that were lesser known to the movie going masses, though are considered masterful by most cinephiles. we also are offering a discussion panel and highly encourage audience participation immediately afterwards. last night i walked out of my 8th of 10 movies. i enjoy watching film with friends and like minded people and hope to convert you soon.

    again, thanks for the feedback. we want to fill seats and need to know your thoughts,

  6. perhaps you should include the size of your original documents to be scanned in this request. since most any print shop can do this job. all scans these days are done on flatbed scanners and produce professional quality if set at a high enough output settings. have the operator set the output to 300-350 dpi. you should scan according to your end use. online use 72dpi print use once again 300-350dpi.

    if the original print size is larger than the flatbed, then you can seam the two or more images together, but this may take a little photoshop work.

    why are you having so much trouble with this?

  7. i agree! best burger around and i've had burgers at gordon ramsay's and the like. not sure if it really failed. the owner had another business back home (australia?) and left to pursue that which seemed to be a very lucrative future. he told me once that he looked at the 'white plate' more as a hobby. i'm not sure, but i think he sold it or handed it off to a friend who did not seem to care at all.

    Pucker Up (2005)

    Plot Summary Profiles six competitors in the 2004 Annual Whistler's Convention, held in Louisburg, North Carolina. We hear them whistle, and they and others talk about whistling as a way to relax, cheer up, entertain, express emotion, and enjoy life. Each talks about how others see their hobby. Joe is older, competing after a ten years break. Chris uses interesting sounds to spice up his performances. Graham stays with the melody, as does Sandra. Steve is smooth, a multi-year champion. Geert is new, having come with his wife from the Netherlands for the competition. First the prelims, then the finals. Clips from films illustrate the qualities of whistling.
  9. oh i forgot. there is a new furniture design center outside of CM. it is on the road to bkk about 20-30 minutes outside of CM on the left hand side. in the front there is a large sign that says 'DESIGN CENTER'. i know this is more than a little vague, but perhaps someone else here knows the name. there are about 50 or more high end furniture stores there. while they do not have the aeron chair (which is the best office chair money can buy), they do have some herman miller / eames repros as mentioned above. this place has only been there a few months and is a must see for anyone interested in furniture related items. probably the best selection of tile in CM or most anywhere under one roof. there's also one in bkk.
