SLASH (Saul Hudson)

Slash was born Saul Hudson in Hampstead, an affluent area of London. His mother, Ola Hudson (née Oliver;1946–2009), was an African American costume designer whose clients included David Bowie, and his father, Anthony Hudson, is an English artist who created album covers for musicians such as Neil Young and Joni Mitchell. Contrary to popular belief, Slash's mother was not Nigerian, nor is his father Jewish. Of his mixed background, Slash later remarked, "As a musician, I've always been amused that I'm both British and black; particularly because so many American musicians seem to aspire to be British while so many British musicians...went to such great pains to be black."

During his early years, Slash was raised by his father and paternal grandparents in Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire. When he was five years old, he and his father joined his mother in Los Angeles, California, where his brother, Albion "Ash" Hudson, was born in 1972. Following his parents' separation in 1974, Slash became a self-described "problem child," and he was often sent to live with his beloved maternal grandmother. He was given the nickname "Slash" by family friend Seymour Cassel, because he was "always in a hurry, zipping around from one thing to another." At the age of 16, he was permanently expelled from Fairfax High. While in school, Slash developed a passion for rock music:

My big awakening happened when I was 14. I'd been trying to get into this older girl's pants for a while, and she finally let me come over to her house. We hung out, smoked some pot and listened to Aerosmith's Rocks. It hit me like a fucking ton of bricks. I sat there listening to it over and over, and totally blew off this girl. I remember riding my bike back to my grandma's house knowing that my life had changed. Now I identified with something.

In 1979, Slash chose to form a band with his friend Steven Adler. Since Adler had designated himself the role of guitarist, Slash decided to learn how to play bass. Equipped with a one-stringflamenco guitar given to him by his grandmother, he began taking classes with Robert Wolin, a teacher at Fairfax Music School. During his first lesson, Slash decided to switch from bass to guitar after hearing Wolin play "Brown Sugar" by the Rolling Stones His decision to play guitar was further influenced by one of his school teachers, who would play songs by Cream and Led Zeppelin for his students. As a result, Slash stated, "When I heard him do that, I said, 'That's what I want to do.'"^[24] A champion BMX rider, Slash soon put the bike aside to devote himself to playing guitar,practicing up to twelve hours a day to hone his skills.

Mother Day
A mothers like a ray of sunshine
Whose heart is just pure gold.
A mother beams with happiness
that'll never grow old.
She'll stay in my heart forever
As if she were inside
We've shared so many things,
We laughed, we smiled, we cried.
I love my mother very much
and still throughout the years
We share the mother daughter love,
and always when I fear,
I know I'll always have my mother
somewhere very near!

                                        Phra prathom Chedi

By the time Buddha died (about the same time Greek civilization was establishing Western Civilization as we know it), Buddhism had already spread all over central India, despite the Hindu military conquest against this powerful force. King Asoka, who inherited the throne and had a change of heart, reversed this revolution for a convergent evolution/assimilation, and sent missionaries to other lands to spread Buddhism further. One of the four great kingdoms in the region to which the missionaries went to spread Buddhism (and Buddha's ashes and other holy relics) was Suvarnabhumi, according to what historical records have survived the times, and the majority of scholars think that Nakhon Pathom was the capital, based on geographical reports from different explorers (Indian, Chinese, others), the abundance of the oldest Asoka-style relics and large ruins there, and the first rendition of the above Chedi as a stupa constructed in the third or fourth Buddhist century (200 to 100 years before Christ) which clearly stood out in size for its day. Indeed, according to some accounts, some of Buddha's ashes were enclosed in the first temple and hence may be enclosed within the current structure.
In India, Buddhism became banned when a Hindu kingdom expanded throughout India, and Buddhist monks were summarily executed en masse. Later, in practice, Hinduism and Buddhism merged. Buddhism was never suppressed in Siam, but was introduced and has been the predominant way of life for millenia.
Nakhon Pathom was a thriving cultural center for a millenia, and the stupa was restored several times over this period, along with many other stupas and temples. The latest restorations before the modern reconstruction were of Cambodian style, as the Khmers were overlords of the region in the last centuries before the downfall of Nakhon Pathom city.
In 1057, King Anurutha of Burma came with his army to attack the town, and reportedly took all its inhabitants back to Burma (e.g., as slaves). It is also reported that he tried to locate and dig up the Buddha ashes and relics, though there is no recording that such a prize was found and brought back to Burma. Other reports say that the remaining inhabitants fled and started Ayutthaya, which would eventually become the predominant cultural center of Siam for several hundred years until another Burmese invasion in the 1767 A.D. destroyed Ayuthaya.
In 1057, Nakhon Pathom was deserted, and it was eventually overcome by jungle. Some of its inhabitants reportedly returned but then abandoned the city due to flooding by a nearby river. (The area is still prone to flooding and swampiness.)
Phra Pathom Chedi was left to decay in the jungle without care or attention, until Buddhist monks came to reside there during the reign of King Rama 2 in the early 1800's A.D. During the reign of King Rama 3, his brother Prince (later King) Monghut, while a member of the Buddhist priesthood, went several times on pilgrimage to the stupa. On his accession to the Throne, King Monghut (Rama 4) began a restoration process by building an enormous Chedi over the existing one, including an entire complex with four chapels, numerous sculptures and castings of Buddha (including the immense Reclining Buddha), displays of ancient artifacts, caves into the base of the structure where one can go meditate and pray, and a nice garden sanctuary.
King Rama 4 did not live to see completion of the temple, and the work was carried on by King Chulalongkorn (Rama 5). In addition, King Rama 5 had the jungle pushed back and an entire city built around the Chedi.
Bus and train services run between the Nakhon Pathom Chedi and Thonburi (the train station on the river, and the bus station not far from the Chao Phraya River when you exit Bangkok proper).
Also worth visiting is the Human Imagery Museum along this highway about halfway from Thonburi to Nakhon Pathom, which presents elements of Thai culture using wax figures.

How To Learn English!

Speak without Fear

The biggest problem most people face in learning a new language is their own fear.  They worry that they won’t say things correctly or that they will look stupid so they don’t talk at all.  Don’t do this.  The fastest way to learn anything is to do it – again and again until you get it right.  Like anything, learning English requires practice.  Don’t let a little fear stop you from getting what you want. 

Use all of your Resources

Even if you study English at a language school it doesn’t mean you can’t learn outside of class.  Using as many different sources, methods and tools as possible, will allow you to learn faster.  There are many different ways you can improve your English, so don’t limit yourself to only one or two.  The internet is a fantastic resource for virtually anything, but for the language learner it's perfect. 

Surround Yourself with English

The absolute best way to learn English is to surround yourself with it.  Take notes in English, put English books around your room, listen to English language radio broadcasts, watch English news, movies and television.  Speak English with your friends whenever you can. The more English material that you have around you, the faster you will learn and the more likely it is that you will begin “thinking in English.” .

Listen to Native Speakers as Much as Possible

There are some good English teachers that have had to learn English as a second language before they could teach it.  However, there are several  reasons why many of the best schools prefer to hire native English speakers. One of the reasons is that native speakers have a natural flow to their speech that students of English should try to imitate.  The closer ESL / EFL students can get to this rhythm or flow, the more convincing and comfortable they will become. 

Watch English Films and Television

This is not only a fun way to learn but it is also very effective.  By watching English films (especially those with English subtitles) you can expand your vocabulary and hear the flow of speech from the actors.  If you listen to the news you can also hear different accents. 

Listen to English Music

Music can be a very effective method of learning English.  In fact, it is often used as a way of improving comprehension.  The best way to learn though, is to get the lyrics (words) to the songs you are listening to and try to read them as the artist sings.  There are several good internet sites where one can find the words for most songs. This way you can practice your listening and reading at the same time.  And if you like to sing, fine.

Study As Often As Possible!

Only by studying things like grammar and vocabulary and doing exercises, can you really improve your knowledge of any language. 

Do Exercises and Take Tests

Many people think that exercises and tests aren't much fun.  However, by completing exercises and taking tests you can really improve your English. One of the best reasons for doing lots of exercises and tests is that they give you a benchmark to compare your future results with.  Often, it is by comparing your score on a test you took yesterday with one you took a month or six months ago that you realize just how much you have learned.  If you never test yourself, you will never know how much you are progressing. Start now by doing some of the many exercises and tests on this site, and return in a few days to see what you've learned. Keep doing this and you really will make some progress with English.

Record Yourself

Nobody likes to hear their own voice on tape but like tests, it is good to compare your tapes from time to time.  You may be so impressed with the progress you are making that you may not mind the sound of your voice as much.

Listen to English

By this, we mean, speak on the phone or listen to radio broadcasts, audiobooks or CDs in English. This is different than watching the television or films because you can’t see the person that is speaking to you.  Many learners of English say that speaking on the phone is one of the most difficult things that they do and the only way to improve is to practice.
