How to make the most out of this site

Within this site there are approximately 380 Web pages of useful information, covering many topics of interest. It is also a large umbrella for (just) a few more Web sites which have grown and branched out under their own names.

It is recommended that first time visitors should take a look at this section for navigational help. Although a detailed site map is provided, "Features" acts as the information booth.

The site break-down is offered in two directions; by room, or, by category. However one chooses to browse, it will be found that many sub-divisions belong in two or more sections -for reasons no other than how, at some point, most things are related, relevant, and, perhaps even intertwined and are in existent of each other.

To view descriptions, please click on browsing options.

Upon arrival, click on each room or category to view content in greater detail; or, see the site map for the site's table of contents.

Let the fun-browsing experience begin!

Spoonful of Tastes - All activities in the very busy Coffee Kitchen. Cook as a Thai with At-Home Thai-Cooking, Mai Thai: My Thai Cooking Stories, and Chef-Me-Not!!, when it comes to non-Thai cooking.
The Voice-The Music-The Art - Own voice, own body: the power within. Explore and understand the voice, from the physical aspect to the artistic. Finding outer happiness and an inner peace through one's voice. What one voice can offer to the community.
Math~English Tutorials - Why is it important to know math and to speak, read, and write well? It goes beyond the American Act of Congress, NCLB -"No Child Left Behind." This section's goal -besides providing math and English tutoring- is to put everyone on the right track, to replace the wave of the hand, "We do it because it is a law." Online sessions are offered, as well as tutoring sessions at our center. Homework help sessions are also available.
Graphic~Animation - Many useful tools make it possible to create digital graphics, but in order to do that one needs to learn how to use and apply just the right tool. With many software come different ways images and animations are produced. This section is for DIY - Do-It-Yourself- newbies, introducing basic GIMP and some work samples, inluding step-by-step how-to. Photo, video and design services are offered. Other software reviews and recommendations are also available, including software purchase options.
Web~Basics - Owning and operating Web sites is a big responsibility. Don't jump into creating your own Web site with-a-few-clicks, or in-five-minutes as you see in advertisements. It is crucial to do thorough research before you decide. If a Thai opera singer -who didn't know anything other than singing and running a teaching studio- could build and maintain a few large Web sites, it is very likely that most people will be able to do it, too. Pradichaya -who is the one for keeping things simple, yet effective- teaches you the ropes, from making a decision to choosing design, hosting and marketing.
Music~Video&Story telling - CoffeeTube is our home theatre and video entertaining and learning center, where music -mostly classical, but others are welcome -from different areas of interest on La CoffeeMelodie Suite, and Children's bedtime story videos by Kaitlyn, are hosted. Although CoffeeTube is not an automatic video sharing platform, you are invited to share your video stories with us through submissions. All videos are required to contain appropriate content and are subject to approval.
As~They~Grow - This section is presented by four members of our team: one young adult, two teens, and one pre-teen. Activities, knowledge-based blogs, and interesting tools are introduced.
Family~Matters - Everything that happens around us is a good learning opportunity: Social issues worth mentioning, which make their appearances while the family is doing activities. Online behavior while social networking- for all age ranges- is very interesting, as well. This section also includes the site's family blog.
Social~Matters - Socially Yours is set up to give advice and to share opinions about online social behavior: manner, etiquette- the basic "how-to." Its main purpose is to bring an awareness to people in order to guide children and adults how to bring good and proper everyday manner into cyberspace and maximize its benefits.
For~the~Soul -If sports gets the adrenaline going, then one may want to tone-down by fine-tuning his inner peace. Take time to reflect. Review and grade your actions, reactions, your daily "performance" and, perhaps- if needed- it may come to you how to improve. Keep it to yourself and nobody has to know.
