Skip to 0 minutes and 2 seconds Text on screen: What does a court interpreter do? Well, the role of a court interpreter is to interpret, which is to orally translate, everything that is said in the courtroom. And with that, it allows the defendant or witness or victim to follow the legal proceedings in the same way that an English-speaking defendant or witness or victim would do. So essentially, it's to put them on an equal footing with the English-speaking person by eliminating the language and cultural barriers.
Skip to 0 minutes and 40 seconds Text on screen: What skills does a court interpreter need ? The skills a court interpreter needs are– some of those are the same that a translator needs– for example, a strong knowledge of the two languages, a very strong knowledge of the subject matter. But a court interpreter needs some extra skills. Those extra skills are not just a solid knowledge of the other language, but a very strong active– what we call active knowledge, which means being able not just to understand it very well, but also to express yourself in that language very well. Because a translator translates usually only into their native language, whereas an interpreter has to go both ways, into and out of their native language.
Skip to 1 minute and 31 seconds A court interpreter, also, I would say needs to have nerves of steel. Because you have to work– the immediacy of the work means you have to think on your feet. And I would also say- and this is very important, because you don't always see that– you need a very professional attitude.
Skip to 1 minute and 50 seconds You need to portray yourself in a professional manner with the legal professionals as much as with the users. They have to see you as a neutral, impartial, professional who is there to do your job, which is to facilitate the communication.
Skip to 2 minutes and 5 seconds Text on screen: Who do you interpret for? Who are your clients? The clients are usually the service providers, because this is in the context of a public service. The service providers in the court interpreting scenario are the legal professionals, anybody who is involved in court, so mostly lawyers, solicitors, barristers, and also judges. And the users, the receivers, if you want, of our services– although you could say that they both use our services, because neither of them speak the other language– the users would be the non-English speaking defendants, witnesses, or victims. Because we mustn't forget people tend to think of court interpreting being exclusively for defendants.
Skip to 2 minutes and 52 seconds But I have dealt with as many witnesses and victims of crime that I have dealt with defendants. They also need to have their rights guaranteed. Because if they don't have a voice in court, justice won't be done to them.
Skip to 3 minutes and 11 seconds It doesn't and it shouldn't. Because as I said earlier, you are supposed to be an impartial professional. And just in the same way that a lawyer represents somebody who is found guilty eventually and somebody who isn't, they have to use their skills to the best of their ability to do a job, and we have to do the same.
Skip to 3 minutes and 32 seconds Text on screen: What happens when translation goes wrong in the courtroom? I can't tell you practical, specific examples because of confidentiality issues. But I can tell you the causes that can lead to these problems, to these errors. One main one is the fact that legal professionals sometimes don't provide any information ahead of a case, and you can find yourself dealing with not just legal matters, but very specialized matters dealing with all topics that you don't necessarily know anything about. And also, even going down to more basic things, your ability to hear– it's a basic need for an interpreter to do the job properly, and that isn't always guaranteed.
Skip to 4 minutes and 21 seconds Legal professionals sometimes don't realize that interpreting cannot be done word for word rendition. And they expect the words that they have used sometimes to have a certain effect on their defendant or witness or victim. And if this doesn't happen, because there is no direct equivalent, they get frustrated that they don't necessarily understand the mechanics. So that can lead to problems as well.
Skip to 4 minutes and 54 seconds Text on screen:What advice would you give to a linguist who would like to become a court interpreter? The advice I would give is firstly to become as familiar as is possible with the law. Because the more you understand the topic, the better you'll be able to do your job. And for that, I strongly recommend that you come to court and watch trials. Courts are open to the public. You can sit in a public gallery and watch the proceedings. So I would recommend that.

VILLA played for 48 minutes as if they were badly hungover on vodka donated by Doug Ellis? alleged Russian visitors.
Perhaps it was the thought of manager David O'Leary sending them to Siberia. But by the end they were toasting a sensational win with plenty of Carling and thoughts of Cardiff.
A mad, bad first-half was transformed into an effortless and almost surreal exhibition of free-flowing football as O'Leary's team put the wow factor back into boring, boring football.
Seven goals in 42 crazy second-half minutes not only saved Villa's blushes but transformed loud half-time chants of "what a load of rubbish" to a rapturous standing ovation the likes of which won't be seen if Villa beat the champions on the their own patch this weekend.
The end result was that a shockingly poor 3-1 interval deficit was turned into an 8-3 victory. It took their scoring to 13 in two trips to this part of Buckinghamshire in the last two years.
Nathan Tyson's pace and the guile of former Blues striker Tommy Mooney had Villa's defence all at sea. Tyson's sixth-minute header from full-back Danny Senda's cross opened the scoring but Steven Davis equalised with a cracking drive from Milan Baros' raid down the right.
Two more sublime headers then had Villa in all sorts of trouble. Roger Johnson out-jumped Liam Ridgewell to send a 15-yard looping effort from Stefan Oakes' corner high into the net. Mooney's superb diving header put Wycombe into dreamland and, in between, defender Mike Willamson headed into the ground and inches over the bar with a golden chance to kill Villa off for good.
Gareth Barry was denied by a superb Frank Talia save in a rare Villa foray but after Mooney fired over at the start of the second-half, it was one-way traffic.
Baros tapped home his second Villa goal after superb work by Aaron Hughes before luck went Villa's way with three goals inside nine minutes.
James Milner's 20-yard shot took a telling deflection off Johnson and flew into the net, Clint Easton shot his side in the foot with a horrible own-goal by deflecting Patrik Berger's through-ball past Talia, then Baros was tackled cleanly by Senda but the referee awarded a spot-kick which Barry duly smashed home for 5-3.
The scoring didn't end there. Barry's superb 18-yard half-volley made it 6-3 after more impressive work down the right flank from Baros. Segio Torres hit the inside of a post for the home side, but Villa could have made double figures as their play turned to total dominance. Milner got his second with a low shot inside the box after good work from Jlloyd Samuel and the energetic Lee Hendrie then, after Luke Moore had been denied by the keeper's legs, Davis completed the rout.
WYCOMBE (4-4-2): Talia; Senda, Williamson, Johnson, Easton; Burnell (Anya, 85), Oakes, Bloomfield, Dixon; Mooney (Stonebridge, 79), Tyson (Torres, 54). Not used: Williams, Martin. VILLA (4-4-2): Sorensen 5; Hughes 6 (de la Cruz, 83), Cahill 5, Ridgewell 5, Samuel 5; Milner 7, DAVIS 8, Barry 8, Berger 6 (Hendrie, 79); Baros 7, Angel 5 (Moore 68, 6). Not used: Taylor, Mellberg. Referee: R Beeby (Long Buckby, Northants).

Membership Certificate Policy
The Regency Estates Swim Club, Inc. (Club) is a non-profit, private community swim club. According to the Club's bylaws, each regular Member must hold a Membership Certificate, the face value of which is determined by the Club's Board of Directors (BOD) and the General Membership. Your Certificate, when fully paid and when all other dues and fees are also paid in full, grants you one vote at Membership Meetings and access to Club facilities for your approved cardholders.
The Certificate is an investment for you and an important financing tool for the Club. This policy addresses both the Club's obligations and your responsibilities related to your Certificate, including rules for the transfer or redemption of Certificates.
This policy applies to all Club members except those who hold a Certificate of Senior Membership.
I. Membership Responsibilities: Active Members
Membership dues and fees must be paid in full and on time each year by the Member to maintain active Club membership in good standing. Failure to do so can lead to loss of membership privileges and a reduction in the value of your Certificate.
A. Resignation of Membership
Members who want to resign from the Club must:
1. Notify the BOD in writing of your intent to terminate/resign your membership via mail to:
RESCPO Box 341913Bethesda, MD 20827-1913; ore-mail to: firstname.lastname@example.com.
2. Upon receipt of your resignation, the Club will provide you with a Final Membership Statement, which will include the current value of your Certificate, and any credits or outstanding dues or fees owed to the Club. Outstanding amounts will be deducted from the value of your Certificate.
3. If your resignation is received before the dues deadline for any given year, no deduction will be taken against your Certificate for that year's dues, unless you intend to "swim off" your Certificate (see Section I.B.2.b below).
B. Certificate Transfer and Redemption
If a Final Membership Statement shows that a Certificate's value has been reduced below the original face value, the Certificate may not be transferred or re-issued until its face value has been restored by payments made to the Club either by the departing Member, the incoming new Member, or both as they may agree prior to the transfer.
1. If the Club is at Full Membership
a. For the Club to transfer your Certificate, you must mail your Certificate, with your signed Final Membership Statement, to RESC, PO Box 341913, Bethesda, MD 20827-1913. If you cannot find your original Certificate, return your Final Membership Statement along with a note indicating your request and specifying that your Certificate is lost and not recoverable. The BOD will verify your status and then process the transfer, voiding your lost Certificate.
b. The Club will transfer your Certificate to the next new Member on the waiting list, o the next new Member if there is no one on the waiting list. The value of your Certificate, based on your Final Membership Statement, will be refunded to you as soon as the new Member's Certificate has been issued.
c. You have the right to transfer your own Certificate, if you choose, but only under one of these two conditions:
i. the Certificate is transferred to a member of your immediate family, or
ii. the Certificate is transferred to the new homeowner in conjunction with the sale of your residence.
In either case, you must notify the Club of your intentions prior to the transfer. Following this, your Certificate should be turned in to the Club at address above, accompanied by the Final Membership Statement signed by both you as the departing Member and the new Member. If the Club does not have such proof of the transfer, the Certificate becomes invalid. (The Club reserves the right to reject the transfer of a Certificate if the transfer does not follow the Club's bylaws and rules.)
In these cases, the Club will not refund the Certificate value to the resigning member. The financial transaction is a private matter with the resigning Member and the new purchaser.
2. If the Club is Not at Full Membership
a. The Club makes no promise of a refund or redemption for your Certificate, and thus it is your responsibility to find a purchaser for your Certificate. When you find a new purchaser who wants to join the Club, you, as the resigning Member, should mail your Certificate and the Final Membership Statement signed by both you and the new Member to:
RESCPO Box 341913Bethesda, MD 20827-1913.
Once the Club has verified the transaction and has received any necessary payments to restore the Certificate to its face value, a Certificate will be issued to the new Member. In this case, the financial transaction is a private matter between the resigning Member and the new purchaser. The resigning Member is selling the Certificate to the new purchaser and the Club will not refund the resigning Member.
b. Alternately, you can choose to "swim off" your Membership in one season using the value of your Certificate in lieu of paying Dues for the season. This will reduce or eliminate any residual value of your Certificate. While swimming off your Certificate, you are allowed to access Club facilities but lose voting privileges as a regular Member. If the required Dues exceed the value of your Certificate, you must pay the difference.
c. If you resign and cannot find a purchaser, choose not to "swim off" your Certificate, and have provided the appropriate notice to the Club, you will be placed on a waiting list in order of resignation date for the future redemption of your Certificate. At such time as the Club reaches full membership, your Certificate will be transferred to a new member in the order your Certificate appears on the list. Then the value of your Certificate as noted on your Final Membership Statement will be refunded to you.
II. Membership Responsibilities:
Inactive Members Members who wish to move to Inactive status may do so with permission of the BOD as described in the Club's bylaws. You should contact the BOD in writing (to the Club address by mail or e-mail as noted above before the Dues deadline) to request Inactive status. If permission is granted by the BOD, you must pay the Inactive Status Dues by the Dues deadline to maintain Inactive status. Members who wish to remain Inactive must request permission from the BOD on an annual basis and pay the Inactive Dues before the Dues deadline. Inactive members do not have access to Club facilities, but do retain the value of their Certificate. III. Membership Responsibilities: Delinquent and Terminated Members If you do not notify the Club of your intention to resign or request Inactive status, AND you do not pay the yearly membership dues by the Dues deadline, your membership will be considered delinquent. If Dues, Late Fees, and any other outstanding fees remain unpaid beyond 30 days after you are invoiced for the overdue amount, you may be suspended and denied access to Club facilities. You will then be notified by certified mail of your suspension. If no action is taken by you to pay your membership dues or to notify the BOD of your intent to resign or request Inactive status within 15 days of the notification mailing and making the appropriate payments due, the value of your Certificate will be decreased by the amount of dues owed plus any associated late fees and your Membership will be revoked. If dues and fees devalue your Certificate to zero, the Club will consider the Certificate null and void and your membership will be terminated. Once terminated, a former member who requests to reactivate their membership will be responsible for paying all fees associated with joining the Club (including applicable Certificate, Capital Improvement Fee, etc.) as a new member without regard to any previous membership status.

Jay is one of three co-founders behind the wildly popular ecommerce site, baopals.com
If you haven't heard of Baopals, it's basically taobao, but with language and function customized for english speakers. Same enormous selection (over 800 million products and services!), just way easier to use, especially if your mandarin isn't quite 标准。
Baopals is less than two years old but has grown from humble roots in the founders' apartment to a big office and a full-time staff of over 30 people (and growing).
In this episode Jay talks about how they came up with the idea, bootstrapping the initial website (instead of seeking early funding), early mistakes, and how they have dealt with their rapid growth.
With increasing users, press coverage and investor interest, we also discuss what is next for baopals. I won't spoil it, but the boys have BIG plans.
Jay, and his co-foudners Charlie and TJ were just a few guys who had been living in Shanghai for years, and wanted more out of their life and time here. So despite never having done anything like this before, they came up with the idea, decided they were going to do it, and jumped in head first.
I asked Jay to share a little about how he and his co-founders made the transition, and any advice he may have on how others might do something similar.
The baopals story, though early in it's telling, is an inspiring example of how friendship, determination, a good idea, and a little luck, can turn in to something really special.

Pretty easy installation, except for 1 pain point. The rubber gasket around the air intake did not want to stay attached. In the end, it doesn't interface flush anyway, so probably not a big deal if not a perfect install. It's only been 2 weeks since install so this isn't a great sample, but I'm seeing 1-2 mpg increase over 2 gas fills.

With the campaign to abolish the concept of sex and sexual differences from US politicians in full swing, it's a wonder why Pope Francis would even broach the topic of women deacons, or deaconesses, but he has, prompting a possible commission to study the return of the order. Here are some points from Fr. Daniel Dozier to keep in mind about the subject:
1. The ministry of deaconess was a vibrant ministry in the early Church, especially in the Christian East.
2. As great a Father and Doctor of the Church as St. John Chrysostom supported and promoted this Ordo.
3. The notion of "Ordo" and "Ordination" and "Cleric" had a much greater expanded meaning in the early Church than it does today where we have generally reduced the notion to those in Major Orders (apostolic succession).
4. Deaconesses were ordained clerics, who exercised a ministry for women and children by women.
5. Deaconesses were of a clerical rank above that of Subdeacon and below that of Deacon.
6. Deaconesses and Subdeacons could be described as ordained to service in an ecclesiastical ministry (what were would regard today as "Minor Orders") under the direction of the Bishop.
7. A restored Ordo of Deaconess would not in any way threaten the constant teaching of the Church regarding the reservation of Ordination in Apostolic Succession to men.
8. The Armenian, Syriac and Coptic Christian traditions still have some semblance of the ministry of Deaconess.
9. The Maronite Patriarchal Synod of Antioch voted some time back to restore the Ordo of Deaconess to its sui iuris Church, but was asked by Rome to hold off on the implementation until it could be studied further.
10. Pope Francis has said that he does not believe that "women deacons" (Deaconess is the proper term) were in Major Orders in the same way that male Deacons were and are, and has agreed to set up a commission to study and report out on the matter.
In addition, it's important to keep in mind the following perspective David Gregson, PhD:
In his Apostolic Letter Ordinatio sacerdotalis (1994), the Holy Father Pope John Paul II, declared that "the Church has no authority whatsoever to confer priestly ordination on women and that this judgment is to be definitively held by all the Church's faithful." This definitive statement leaves no "wiggle room" for those who would like to continue debating the question. As the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith made clear in 1995, the statement that the Church has no authority to ordain women as priests, is not merely a matter of Church discipline (which can be changed), but belongs to the deposit of faith (which cannot). "This teaching requires definitive assent, since, founded on the written Word of God, and from the beginning constantly preserved and applied in the Tradition of the Church, it has been set forth infallibly by the ordinary and universal Magisterium (cf. Second Vatican Council, Dogmatic Constitution on the Church Lumen Gentium 25, 2). Thus, in the present circumstances, the Roman Pontiff, exercising his proper office of confirming the brethren (cf. Lk 22:32), has handed on this same teaching by a formal declaration, explicitly stating what is to be held always, everywhere, and by all, as belonging to the deposit of the faith" (Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, Concerning the Teaching Contained in Ordinatio Sacerdotalis).
This Apostolic Letter alludes to the reasons given in the Declaration Inter Insignores, by the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith in 1976. They include, in addition to the testimony of Scripture and Tradition, the example of Christ, who though counter-cultural in many respects, continued Israel's tradition of a male priesthood in reserving the Office of Apostle to men. That the Apostles did not regard this as a divine oversight is evident from the fact that they themselves ordained only men. And so the Church has continued this Sacred Tradition down to the present.
The question why women can't be ordained priests is often confused with the issue of equality. The Holy Father has made it clear that men and women (as far as their sex is concerned) are equal before God (e.g., Mulieris Dignitatem 6). But equality isn't identity. Men and women have different though complementary functions. Priesthood is a male function, for the reason that a priest is an icon of Christ, and Christ is male. The maleness of Christ is an important sign of His relationship to the Church, His Bride. As in nearly all cultures a man takes the initiative in winning a wife, so Christ took the initiative in winning souls and establishing His Church. For this reason, marriage is a "mystery" or sacrament of the Church (Eph 5:32).
St. Paul develops this theme in his parallel between a local church and the family. A "bishop" (or "overseer," which applied to both bishops and priests in NT times) is expected to keep his own family in order, "for if a man does not know how to manage his own household, how can he care for God's church?" (1 Tim 3:5) Male headship in the family is an axiom of both Scripture and Tradition, and if the Church is the Household of God, and Christ is Head of the Church, then His headship in the Church can be represented only by men.
However, lest it seem that God has honored men above women, we should recall that of all created beings, including the hierarchy of Angels, God raised a Woman to the highest place, the Blessed Virgin Mary. Though she was not an Apostle, she was made Queen of the Apostles, Queen of Angels, Queen of the universe, and the Mother of her own Creator.

Are you a sales data naysayer? Think that metrics and measurement are "too confining" (that was a National Safety Council ad campaign back in the '70s about wearing seat belts - because that's how they were viewed, even though wearing them saved lives in most cases). Metrics and measurement save the lives of your sales opportunities.
Tracking your sales opportunities and updating their progress is critical for the success of anyone involved in complex selling, and for anyone who has more than a few opportunities being worked.
Complex Selling is when you have a large-scope product or service that takes multiple presentations or deals with multiple decision makers over a medium-to-long length of time. If you sell commodity items in a single conversation, this would not be a complex sale. Even with a commodity item – as soon as you create a complex scenario with a distributor or seasonal purchasing issues, you can suddenly have a more complex situation and the need to track movement.
Many mid-market companies do not do a good job with their sales reps of keeping up-to-date information as sales opportunities morph and change. The reasons are plentiful as to why – we'll talk more about that another time. The purpose of this post is to discuss 3 tips to help you be efficient with your sales tracking – because when you track and analyze deals you win more of them.
1. You've got to make time in your schedule for updating data and information about your deals and the people involved in them. I know what you're thinking – you don't have time. But you do – you just don't manage it well. If you did, you'd make time to update important information that will impact your wallet, right? Isn't it really just more about self management than a lack of time? Block it into your calendar. Block it in daily until you create the habit of updating notes. It is a hard habit to get into but it can be done and here's why: you'll miss important small things if you don't do it. These small things are the things like knowing dates of trigger events, or other important deadlines that will affect your customer buying from you.
2.You need (or your team needs) to do a deal review each week. Not a couple times a month, or when it works out, but EVERY week. This will get you in the habit, and you will glean insight into your accounts like you have never seen when done on a regular basis. For rapidly growing companies, do one at the start of the week and then review at the end of the week so you know what everyone is working on and the progress (or lack of) that is happening. Pipeline reviews can easily be done together in a small team – use a whiteboard if you are in person, or share your screen in whatever software tool you are using if you are online. Everyone benefits from a quick "spot-check" review of what others deals look like. So don't isolate your reps and just do this one-on-one, but instead do quickly in a group.
3.Review your activity monthly so that you can see the activities you are doing that are leading to new revenues. What is working and what isn't? What are the trends? Only data will give you this in a distilled manner. In 2012 you need to go beyond "gut feeling" and use data for facts. Too many reps are wasting time working big deals they have no chance of winning, and too many reps are focusing on any shiny object that comes along which distracts them from clarity and focus toward specific goals.
Skeptical? Try these ideas for one month. Announce it to others and get team support. Try it as an experiment with a start and end date, because this way it won't seem like a life-long new change, but rather a 30 day trial. Post your thoughts about this or after you put a trial in place. Contact us for more sales pipeline information so we can help support you toward your goals.

This week I have learned that......
Going to the mountains always makes me happy.
Seeing a grand-baby getting doted on by her grandparents is such a lovely thing to watch.
It's good to see the big girls being so confident on downhill skis, even if they prefer cross country.
A huge yarn store will always make me happy.

Dan Cervone, Moore-Sloan Data Science Fellow, New York University
Abstract: Continuously throughout a basketball possession, offensive and defensive players control different regions of the basketball court. An efficient offense creates opportunities for ball control in high value regions (for the appropriate players), whereas good defense suppresses such opportunities. From this competitive dynamic alone, we can infer the implicit value of positioning and spacing among NBA players and teams using hierarchical, spatially regularized paired comparison models.
This allows us to quantify the NBA court "real estate market", enabling new insights and metrics for both offense and defense. For instance, we can measure players' off-ball impact on offense by calculating the value of the space freed up for their teammates to control. For analyzing defense, we can quantify how effectively different teams (and different lineups within teams) contain the offense within low-value regions of the court.

Writing a wrong
Arguments that "a foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds" are to no avail in Washington state, where the rescoring of last spring's writing test will penalize students who used writing conventions inconsistently.
State officials who analyzed the essay tests given to 204,000 students in June concluded that scorers had not been adequately trained to evaluate the use of punctuation, spelling, sentence structure, grammar, and paragraphing.
"Too many kids got 2's on conventions that should have gotten 1's," state Superintendent Terry Bergeson said, referring to the test's 6-point scoring scale. Students whose essays used such mechanics inconsistently should have been marked down, she said.
Students also were graded on organization, ideas, and writing style.
This is the first year in which all 4th, 7th, and 10th graders took the writing test, which is part of the 1999 Washington Assessment of Student Learning. Results from the other portions--covering reading, mathematics, and listening--were released Sept. 7. Release of the writing scores is now planned for later this fall.
Riverside Publishing Inc., the Chicago-based company hired by the state to administer the assessment, will bear the $600,000 cost of re-scoring the tests.
Preserving history
When Alabama revised its curriculum framework for social studies last year, a piece of history was lost--Alabama history, that is.
The state eliminated Alabama history as a separate subject for 9th graders, saying it should instead be integrated into 10th and 11th grade U.S. history courses. State historians responded by putting together a 264-page document that seeks to help teachers do that.
"Alabama Moments in American History: Supplemental Materials for High School Teachers" was published over the summer and distributed to every district. The state also held workshops for teachers to learn about the publication.
Although most Alabama scholars applauded the new framework, they were concerned that the state's role in American history might be neglected, according to Debbie D. Pendleton, an assistant director in the Alabama Department of Archives and History.

Americans sit down on Thanksgiving to a feast that traditionally includes turkey and cranberry sauce. Both happen to be excellent for your health.
Cranberries are a native American fruit that thrive in the wetlands of a handful of northern U.S. states. They have countless uses, according to Nodji Van Wychen of the Wetherby Cranberry Company in Wisconsin, the state that produces most of the cranberries grown in the United States.
"You can make salads with cranberries. You can grind them up and add oranges, apples, whatever other types of fruit, for a relish."
Or crush them for juice. Nadji Van Wychen says cranberries are becoming more popular worldwide.
"We are in Germany, Japan, Mexico... We are entering into France and even venturing into China," she said.
Cranberries are good for you according to Lori Doebritsch, a dietitian at The George Washington University Hospital in Washington, D.C.
"Cranberries are actually very, very good for you. It is a fruit that is high in antioxidants. And antioxidants have very beneficial effects, for not only your heart, [but also] anti-cancer effects, so eating cranberries this time of year is a great way of getting those extra nutrients in your body."
It also turns out that the traditional Thanksgiving turkey has nutritional benefits. It contains tryptophan. Lori Doebritch explains.
?Tryptophan is an amino acid, and it's an essential amino acid, meaning that our bodies do not produce it," she told us.
In order to get tryptophan, we have to eat something that contains it. Ms. Doebritch explained, "In our body, it gives us different things. It produces niacin, a B vitamin, and it produces seratonin, a brain chemical which actually affects your mood and sleep."
While most Americans are not thinking about the nutritional benefits of Thanksgiving dinner, the cranberries and turkey may add to the health and the all-around good mood people have at Thanksgiving.

Threw together something for dinner today. Also made enough to take to work for lunch.
Shitaki Mushroom Mapo Tofu
1000 year old egg
Fermented Tofu
White Rice
Yah, I guess it was a bit of a tofu-tastic dinner. LOL
Not that interesting, the Mapo Tofu is from a packet. I just added it to the mushrooms (instead of ground beef) and a block of silken tofu and green onion.
Still tasty. :-9

The Incendiaries: A Novel
" Religion, politics, and love collide in this slim but powerful novel reminiscent of Donna Tartt's The Secret History, with menace and mystery lurking in every corner." -- People Magazine
"The most buzzed-about debut of the summer, as it should be...unusual and enticing ... The Incendiaries arrives at precisely the right moment." -- The Washington Post
"Radiant...A dark, absorbing story of how first love can be as intoxicating and dangerous as religious fundamentalism." -- New York Times Book Review
A powerful, darkly glittering novel of violence, love, faith, and loss, as a young woman at an elite American university is drawn into a cult's acts of terrorism.
Phoebe Lin and Will Kendall meet in their first month at prestigious Edwards University. Phoebe is a glamorous girl who doesn't tell anyone she blames herself for her mother's recent death. Will is a misfit scholarship boy who transfers to Edwards from Bible college, waiting tables to get by. What he knows for sure is that he loves Phoebe.
Grieving and guilt-ridden, Phoebe is drawn into a secretive cult founded by a charismatic former student with an enigmatic past. When the group commits a violent act in the name of faith, Will finds himself struggling to confront a new version of the fanaticism he's worked so hard to escape. Haunting and intense, The Incendiaries is a fractured love story that explores what can befall those who lose what they love most.

NINE community groups in Coventry have teamed up to successfully bid for a #164,000 funding boost.
The money, from the government agency, the Learning and Skills Council, will be used to provide education for people in Coventry and Warwickshire, who might otherwise miss out, such as those in under-privileged areas.
Courses to be funded with the grant include numeracy, literacy, computer skills and basic finance.
The successful community groups came together under the banner of Community Partners for Learning.
The lead partner is the Coventry Bangladeshi Centre based in George Eliot Road, Foleshill, Coventry.
Manager of the Coventry Bang-ladeshi Centre Mohammed Kasem said: ?Everyone here is really pleased. As voluntary organisations we will be able to reach the people who are missing out on learning but are very hard to reach and persuade to get back into learning.
?We are concentrating on lifelong learning with all kinds of basic skills across the board. We are hoping to get as many people involved as we can.
?We?re not too worried about how many qualifications or NVQs people get when they first come to us.
To start with we just want to get them on board.?
The other groups involved in the bid were Churches Initiative in Training, Employment and Enterprise, the Wheels to Work Moped Scheme, Coventry Muslim Community Association, Furnace Fields Family Centre, Warwickshire Careers Service, Cariba Women?s Group, Pathways and the Local Initiative for Foundation Training.
Representatives of the groups were at a conference where they realised an application for cash would be more likely to succeed if they applied together rather than individually.

BERLIN — German distribs continue to beef up muscular slates with Concorde Film recently nabbing Kevin Macdonald's historical epic "The Eagle of the Ninth," starring Channing Tatum, and Prokino picking up Julian Schnabel's Palestinian tale "Miral," starring Freida Pinto and Hiam Abbass, and Ferzan Ozpetek's gay Italian drama "Mine vaganti" (Loose Cannons).
Despite Germany's dynamic box office, indie distribs have been increasingly picky about acquisitions, with star vehicles or auteur pics with wide audience appeal garnering the most interest.
Prokino topper Ira von Gienanth said her company is focusing on crossover titles that attract bigger auds than straight arthouse fare, while Concorde managing director Markus Zimmer added: "I think that given the present, very competitive, situation in the cinemas, distributors are more selective and go for titles with the potential to work well theatrically, and with great TV value."
Concorde has also stocked up on top fare from its output deal with Summit Ent., including Terrence Malick's "Tree of Life," starring Brad Pitt; Robert Schwentke's "Red," with Bruce Willis; and Jodie Foster's "The Beaver," starring Mel Gibson, not to mention the latest "Twilight" installment, "Breaking Dawn," for 2011.
It's also unleashing the upcoming "Iron Man 2," as well as Woody Allen's "You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger."
Senator Film appears to be following a similar path with its acquisitions, among them Sam Taylor-Wood's John Lennon biopic "Nowhere Boy," starring Aaron Johnson ("Kick-Ass"); Nicole Kassell's "Earthbound," with Kate Hudson and Gael Garcia Bernal; and Donald Petrie's upcoming "Cover Girl."
Senator is also co-producing Julie Delpy's "2 Days in New York," the sequel to her 2007 drama "2 Days in Paris," and Oliver Schmitz's South African drama "Chandra's Secret."

ABC 11 recently reported as follows on one of our cases (the accompanying video can be viewed here):
CHAPEL HILL, N.C. (WTVD) — Most of the allegations laid out in the civil lawsuit against Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools are disturbingly cringe-worthy.
One particular quote from the woman who blew the whistle on the case stands out: "I was shocked and dismayed that so many people in an administrative position knew about the abuse and did little to respond."
It begins in 2012 at Estes Hill Elementary School in Chapel Hill. Talya Mazor had just been hired as the school's new clinical social worker when she soon took notice of the aggressive and agitated behavior of at least three of the boys in her high-needs program.
To Mazor, it was more than bad behavior. In her affidavit, she said, "Many of them displayed what appeared to be symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder."
Suspecting the boys were being sexually abused Mazor built trust. And by spring 2013 she says, "One boy confided in me that he had been assaulted. He detailed ongoing sexual abuse by two older students at the school."
The allegations are laid out in a 14-page civil lawsuit filed against the school district and three former staffers at Estes Hill, including a former principal.
The boys told the therapist that starting in first grade they had been sexually assaulted multiple times at school by two older students. They described inappropriate genital touching in the school cafeteria, bathrooms, hallways, the playground and the school bus as well.
When Mazor asked questions she says it went nowhere. Writing, "the boy's previous teacher told the social worker that the allegations 'had been handled'" But Mazor says she "searched their thick files and found no indication or documentation."
She says higher-ups in the district office assured her that the boys' claims had been investigated, that they had received individual counseling, and their parents had been notified.
But when Mazor went to the families, she said: "the boys' grandmother and guardian… were both surprised and upset upon hearing the reports of abuse, as it was their first time hearing of it."
The plaintiffs, in this case, are identified only as "Mother Doe" and "John Doe".
In statement, the family's attorney Robby Jessup told ABC11, "We look forward to helping our clients understand what happened. Our lawsuit and the sworn affidavit speak for themselves. We have no further comment at this time."
There may be three victims in this case. Jessup says he represents at least two of them.
A spokesperson for Chapel-Hill Carrboro City Schools declined to comment on open litigation.
But the district did confirm all three staffers named in the suit are no longer with the district. Two have retired and one accepted a new position at the state Department of Instruction.

When it comes to blindness in seniors, some were born with it and others became blind later in life. In any case, the absence of eyesight does not mean an absence of a productive and fun life. The loss of one faculty often results in the heightening of others in compensation. Therefore, these activities revolve around using the other senses. The elderly blind can participate in and find enjoyment in several activities. These activities help families cope with their loved one's disability and brings them closer together.
Internet Downloads
The Internet is an immense source of activities, the primary ones being radio and music downloads. You can download radio shows and favorite songs. Choose times each week where you listen to these shows with your loved one. You do not necessarily have to make an announcement about it, just casually flip on the program and make everything else quiet. This is a great way to soothe the mind, revive it, as well as reminisce about the past.
Internet downloads of audio books are also available. Such activities are ideal for people who may have to spend their time in nursing homes or are alone for long periods during the week. When you let visually impaired individuals choose audio books for themselves, it ensures they will listen to things that interest them.
Games for the Blind
With advances in technology has come several games developed for those who are visually impaired. Audio games use audio feedback and easy-to-use controls to help individuals who can't see, play. A computer is not necessary to play these games and they are portable. An additional advantage to these games is that all age groups can play them. This makes them an ideal game for bonding between the elderly and their younger family members.
One popular family activity that the blind can partake in is video entertainment. There are blockbuster movies for the visually impaired that include audio descriptions of the scenes and the expressions on the characters' faces. Seniors may enjoy hearing the voices of their favorite actors, such as Clint Eastwood or Morgan Freeman, and there are many different genres of movies to choose from.
Using Other Senses
Some popular games make use of other senses. Audio-based activities can be of immense use to seniors. For those who love nature, audio recognition games, of wild animals and birds, can be a good past time. There are several downloads available online. It is never too late to learn something new. If the ability is not already present, learning Braille opens a completely new world of literature to the blind and perfects the sense of touch. Another tactile activity is that of pottery. Shaping a pot is all about touch and this is a hobby easily learned and enjoyed; however, it requires accompaniment. Blind seniors also can play several card and dice games. Braille cards and dice, with raised numbers and built-in chimes to help the player locate them, are available.
Listening to spiritually enlightening talks, recitations and sermons and reading the same in Braille are activities that may bring peace and joy to vision-impaired seniors.

NSS .chk Files for the FIPS 140 Mode
NSS Technical Note: 6In NSS 3.8, we added checksum files required for the NSS softoken to operate in FIPS 140 mode.
The new checksum file is called libsoftokn3.chk on Unix/Linux and softokn3.chk on Windows. It must be put in the same directory as the NSS libraries. The libsoftokn3.chk/softokn3.chk file contains a checksum for the softoken. When in FIPS 140 mode, the softoken is required to compute its checksum and compare it with the value in libsoftokn3.chk/softokn3.chk.
The following applies to NSS 3.8 through 3.10 :
On 32-bit Solaris SPARC (i.e., not x86, and not 64-bit SPARC) and
32-bit HP-UX PA-RISC (i.e., not Itanium, and not 64-bit PA-RISC), there
are two more .chk files: libfreebl_pure32_3.chk
and libfreebl_hybrid_3.chk.
The following applies to NSS 3.11 :
The low-level freebl cryptographic code has been separated from softoken on all platforms. Even on platforms for which there is only one implementation of freebl, there is now a separate freebl shared library. The freebl library implements a private interface internal to NSS.
- On 32-bit Windows and 32-bit OS/2, this shared library is called freebl3.dll, and the corresponding .chk file is called freebl3.chk .
- On 32-bit Solaris x86, 64-bit Solaris x64 (AMD64), 32-bit Linux x86, 64-bit Linux x86-64, 32-bit AIX and 64-bit AIX, this shared library is called libfreebl3.so, and the corresponding .chk file is called libfreebl3.chk .
- On the 32-bit Solaris SPARC architecture, there are 3 freebl libraries :
- libfreebl_32int64_3.so for UltraSparc T1 CPUs, with a corresponding libfreebl_32int64_3.chk
- libfreebl_32fpu_3.so for other UltraSparc CPUs, with a corresponding libfreebl_32fpu_3.chk
- libfreebl_32int_3.so for SPARC V8 CPUs, with a corresponding libfreebl_32int_3.chk
- On the 64-bit Solaris SPARC architecture, there are 2 freebl libraries :
- libfreebl_64int_3.so for UltraSparc T1 CPUs, with a corresponding libfreebl_64int_3.chk
- libfreebl_64fpu_3.so for other UltraSparc CPUs, with a corresponding libfreebl_64fpu_3.chk
- On the 32-bit HP-UX PA-RISC architecture, there are 2 freebl libraries :
- libfreebl_32fpu_3.sl for CPUs that do multiply operations faster in floating point, with a corresponding libfreebl_32fpu_3.chk
- libfreebl_32int_3.sl for other PA-RISC CPUs, with a corresponding libfreebl_32int_3.chk
- On the 64-bit HP-UX PA-RISC architecture, there is only one freebl library, called libfreebl3.sl, with a corresponding libfreebl3.chk
- The FIPS 140 mode of operation will no longer work, because the chk files will no longer match the softoken and freebl shared libraries .
- The softoken and freebl binaries won't match any NSS binaries that may have been submitted to NIST for validation, and thus may not be verified as being the actual FIPS 140 validated cryptographic module . The only way to meet this requirement is for your application never to modify the NSS binaries.
- Any offer of binary support that may have been previously made to you by NSS developers is null and void.
If your build process does not modify NSS shared libraries, you can just use the .chk files in the NSS binary distributions.
So you have two options.
1. Do not modify NSS libraries in your build process. Specifically, do not modify libsoftokn3.so, libsoftokn3.sl, softokn3.dll, libfreebl_pure32_3.so, libfreebl_pure32_3.sl, libfreebl_hybrid_3.so, libfreebl_hybrid_3.sl, libfreebl3.so, libfreebl3.sl, freebl3.dll, libfreebl_32int64_3.so, libfreebl_32int_3.so, libfreebl_32fpu_3.so, libfreebl_64int_3.so, libfreebl_64fpu_3.so, libfreebl_32int_3.sl, libfreebl_32fpu_3.sl; or
2. Use shlibsign to regenerate the .chk files. For example, on 32-bit Solaris SPARC for NSS 3.11, say
shlibsign -v -i libsoftokn3.so
shlibsign -v -i libfreebl_32int64_3.so
shlibsign -v -i libfreebl_32fpu_3.so
shlibsign -v -i libfreebl_32int_3.so
(You need to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH appropriately and specify the correct pathnames of the libraries.)
Option 1 is simpler and highly preferred.

On Whitney Avenue in New Haven is this simple A-frame building. It was designed by architects Jim Owens and John Dinkeloo in 1966. Both were members of the congregation. That same year Dinkeloo partnered with Kevin Roche in Roche Dinkeloo, which went on to greater renown. Dinkeloo died in 1981.
The side elevation of the church is even more simplified and severe. Also on the site is a 2005 community hall building designed by Dinkeloo's son. The church's website has several photos and additional information about the complex.
More curious is what lies across the street, now hidden. Behind the new Worthington Hooker Middle School, completed in 2009, is a white brick building connected to the school. It was originally the First Church of Christ Scientist, built in 1950 by local architecture firm, Office of Douglas Orr. Orr did dozens of modern buildings around New Haven and Connecticut, some of which can be seen in the slideshow here (First Church of Christ Scientist is the second image). During the recent adaptive reuse the steeple was removed from the church building but I have been told it is basically the same otherwise on the exterior. It is now difficult to see the original front facade since it is connected via an elevated walkway with the school. The view above is a side elevation.

We have laid out our home page in such a way as to make it easy to use. We want you to be able to find the information you need easily and the best way of doing this is to create a homepage which contains links to all the other important areas of the site. The biggest challenge with this is that it limits the amount of text on the homepage and results in anyone who suffers panic attack symptoms and needs the help this site provides being unable to find us.
So in order to help the situation, we have decided to put a general view of the site here, a glorified sitemap if you will, which gives a brief overview of the sites content and some additional comments. Its not essential reading and you will find the information on each of the sites main pages more comprehensive, you can navigate to this information from the top half of this page.
The section entitled 'Panic Attack Symptoms' is a collection of the various symptoms panic attack sufferers encounter and includes Palpitations, Hyperventilation, Sweating, Dizzyness, Derealisation and Pins & Needles.
Palpitations are the most common symptoms encountered during a panic attack and is normally a speeding up as part of the body's stress response.
Hyperventilation is connected to the palpitations because as the heart speeds up the bloodstream requires more oxygen
Sweating is caused by the fight or flight response in an effort to get rid of the heat your brain is expecting to generate.
Dizzyness is caused by changes in your bloods composition during a panic attack
Derealisation is an effect of our inbuilt survival mechanism
Pins & Needles are again part of the same blood chemistry change.
The consumer guide section contains some reviews of the various health products available to help sufferers cope with and the symptoms of panic and anxiety.
Presently we have reviews on
I Love Panic Attacks
At Last a Life
The Linden Method
The Unexplainable Store
Panic Away
Freedom from Fear
The coping section lists some of the techniques often used to counter the various symptoms of panic attacks and has information on Paper Bag Rebreathing, Guided Visualisation, Bathing, Diaphragm Breathing, Awareness Meditation and Distraction.
Paper Bag Rebreathing is a technique for increasing the carbon dioxide levels of the blood, in order to change the bloods chemical characteristics.
Guided Visualisation is a fantastic relaxation tool where you can imagine yourself being anywhere you like on the planet. You could be walking through an imaginary arboretum admiring the trees, or sitting by the side of the water on a lush green riverbank or by the side of a beach. In fact anywhere where you can reform your mind and lose the mental chatter.
Bathing in warm water is a healthy way to relax, the water relaxes muscles and eases tension
Diaphragm Breathing is a method of controlling the way you breath in order to oxygenate your bloodstream and remove carbon dioxide and toxins from the body naturally
Awareness Meditation is an ancient technique practiced all over the planet, from east to west and north to south.
Distraction is also important in controlling stress and anxiety and this page has links to some online games you might like to play for fun
The therapy section has information on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Thought Field Therapy (TFT), Emotional freedom technique (EFT), Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), Reiki and Hypnotherapy
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is available on the NHS and whilst there are waiting lists, it's free and many panic attack symptoms sufferers find it beneficial.
Thought Field Therapy (TFT) is a powerful technique where you tap on energy meridian points
Emotional freedom technique (EFT) is a simplified version of TFT
Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) is a technique developed years ago to change your mental thought processes
Reiki is a sort of spiritual healing method, where the practitioner channels energy to the client
Hypnotherapy is the therapy extension of hypnosis and is not to be confused with hypnotism.
The fight or flight or stress response and the problems it can cause when it gets out of balance are as old as life itself. In this section we cover What Causes Panic Attack Symptoms? Chemically; What's Going On? What are the Physical Effects? Stress; Good or Bad? And finally we Piece it all Together
Much of what has been written about the various illnesses caused by stress refers to the conditions as 'mental health illnesses.' We don't consider anxiety and its relatives to be mental health issues at all though, we see them as merely a natural response from the body to external pressures and situations driven by an overactive nervous system.
Anxiety can be debilitating and even result in us becoming housebound, but many of us are sick and at work. Having to pay the bills and put food on the table has a major effect on our wellbeing, when we are suffering anxiety and for some of us, it's a good job that its sickness absence that is frowned upon rather than sickness presence!
Fortunately, more and more is being done to encourage a reduction in stress planet wide. Some of the smarter initiatives, fuelled by environmental activist and green belt movement reform, create a better environment to live and work in. Green spaces where we can go for a walk, whether a small green enclosure within a busy office block or school; or a mini arboretum where we can enjoy the trees, all help to keep our anxiety levels in check.
Air travel is also an area in need of reform. Anxiety sufferers need more help. From the amount of guest bloggers on a flight blog, who have got complaints about American Airlines and other carriers, its obvious that flying around the planet, which lets face it represents the most challenging of situations for a panic attack or anxiety sufferer, is becoming increasingly difficult, with stepped up security measures and long delays happening more and more frequently. With even busier airports, it really is time that the airlines got smart and took note and did something to help us.
Another gripe we have is the way in which society is increasingly following a George Orwell like 'big brother' scenario. Everywhere you go there are camera's, its getting ridiculous. We even read recently about U.S. Navy research on "mind control techniques!" That and other secrecy news that came to light in December 2006 really winds us up and it seems to have got worse since 2007. In 2008 or 2009 they introduced those smart average speed camera's everywhere that read and record your number plate. It's getting to the point now (2010) where we are afraid to go to the library in case they are watching what we are reading! This stuff shouldn't be legal.
No its time the authorities started putting time and effort into mastering medical sciences and fighting stress rather than study our every move! Put some effort into helping us control our anxiety and less effort into controlling us.
Another thing we hate is the marketing Emails we get constantly, whether its b2b or b2c, they are a constant nightmare. Marketing is important for any business, we understand that, especially when its b2b, but the amount of marketing stuff that comes through is amazing. It seems like the minute we subscribe as guest bloggers somewhere, everyone has our Email address and they all want to send us b2b information, is this legal?
This smart planet is becoming an even smarter planet that's for sure, but advances in technology are putting environmental strains on it as well. There is just so much to worry about these days, its no wonder we suffer panic attack symptoms! Take something as simple as water. With the climate change that is happening, some areas are having severe drought conditions and the longer this goes on, the worse things will get, no water means no crops, no crops means starving populations. Do you think these people might get anxious and join the planets growing population of anxiety and panic attack sufferers?
Now we know this has been a bit of a ramble, one minute b2b marketing and the next its water shortages and a smarter planet, but the thing is all these things contribute to our anxiety levels. The world is full of things that stress us, but whether it's walking through an arboretum or just sitting by some water somewhere, if you want to control your panic attack symptoms, you really need to understand that fighting stress is the key. You don't need to be a doctor, or legal wiz kid, or have studied with a view to mastering medical sciences; all you need are some simple techniques which we hope you will find on this site.

Texting while driving isn't illegal in Texas
Remember when a driver in Texas admitted that his texting caused an accident that killed 13 people? That wasn't illegal.
Dallas rose to prominence because of its historical importance to the oil and cottown industries. In modern times, the city's economy is primarily based on banking, commerce, telecommunications, computer technology, energy, healthcare and medical research, and transportation and logistics, with a 2013 real GDP of $448 billion. The Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington metropolitan area has a population of 6.9 million and is only expected to grow.
Fort Worth is Fort Worth is the 17th-largest city in the United States and the fifth-largest city in the state of Texas. The city is located in North Central Texas and covers nearly 350 square miles in Tarrant, Denton, Parker, and Wise counties—serving as the seat for Tarrant County. According to the 2013 census estimates, Fort Worth has a population of 792,727. The city is the second-largest in the Dallas–Fort Worth–Arlington metropolitan area.

When someone has been injured in a motor-vehicle collision in Dallas or Fort Worth, the accident victim and their family members are left with medical bills, lost income, and other costs. When someone is killed due to the negligence of another person or company, a wrongful death claim needs to be launched. It is important to get legal assistance to help the accident victim recover, or when the accident is fatal, to help the family members get fully compensated for their losses. Learn more about how Dallas personal injury attorneys will help injured victims and families.
Remember when a driver in Texas admitted that his texting caused an accident that killed 13 people? That wasn't illegal.
This is really hard to watch.
First things first: apparently everyone survived, and the baby and toddler are currently stabilized and recovering in the hospital, but that will not be super helpful to your stress level while/immediately after viewing. If you are currently the mother of young children, have a drink ready or your chosen method of self-care for when the video is done, because you will need it.
The problem involves taking action. Why don't you, or maybe one of your family members, stop doing this behavior, despite knowledge that it puts you at more risk for a fatal accident than driving drunk?
So, the first question that comes to mind is, "Why does this happen?" Because when you understand the why, then you can work on what to do about it.
You never want to get into a car accident, but if there's any place you really don't want to be involved in an accident, it's in a work zone.
The trucking industry faces an employee shortage that rises to crisis levels. Here's how that puts you at greater risk when you drive.
Avoid becoming the victim of a negligent motorist. Learn how car accidents involving pedestrians happen so you can prevent injuries to you and your family.
Mullen & Mullen's new, free, one-of-a-kind car accident app can help save drivers' lives, prevent serious injuries, and help them more easily collect the information necessary to negotiate with insurers or win legal claims.
You can't control what other drivers do. But you can control what you do. And what you do could easily save your life, the lives of your friends and family, and the lives of others on the road.
Our client was on the job at the time of the car accident thus he had the option of filing a Workers' Compensation claim. We discovered, however, that the vehicle he was operating was also covered under his employer's large UM/UIM (uninsured/underinsured) motorist policy.
Failing to gather evidence at the scene of a car wreck or other type of accident is another way you can seriously damage your case.
As you can see above, avoiding a gap in treatment will help you to maximize your case value and prevent the insurance adjuster from suggesting you weren't really injured.

|Old Guy, Gary P. Nunn and Bee Cave Bob***
In the true Spirit of Texas, a group called the Benevolent Knights of the Raccoon of Bee Cave, Texas, have their own tradition when it comes to predicting the end of winter/beginning of spring with a typical Texas twist. For brevity's sake, I'll call the Knights the BKR. The BKR depend on an armadillo named Bee Cave Bob. Bee Cave Bob beats the dog snot out of that damn Yankee groundhog named Phil when it comes to Spring Predicting. The BKR have a saying, "… in defiance of relying on the predictions of a groundhog in Pennsylvania, a foreign land have no relevance to Texas or Texans."
At 11:30 this morning in Bee Cave, chili will be served, the Armadillo Anthem will be played soon to be followed the Bee Cave Bob's weather prognostication at 12:30pm at the West Pole at the 98th Meridian in Bee Cave, Texas. It sounds like the Benevolent Order of the Raccoon are throw a shindig the way only Texans can.
For all you folks living in the Hill Country of Texas, this sounds like a great way to blow off work for the day and go have some chili and some fun. You can get more info on the goings on with Bee Cave Bob, give 'em a call at (512) 263-5286. Below you'll find a map of the area that may make getting to Bee Cave a little easier.
And, one more thing. God Bless Texas! And God Bless Bee Cave Bob. Kinda brings a tear to your eye, doesn't it?

User Review( vote)
I guess you are here right now, wondering why you have to go for a Thai visa run in Penang and why are there so many obstacles in order to be able to live legally in Thailand. Right?
Thai goverment and Thai laws are trying to protect the "Tiger Kingdom" from denationalisation and culture tarnish. In my opinion they are doing a really good job and this is the reason why Thai culture is still present for people who would like to blend into Asian cultures.

What You Have to Know About Thai Visa Run
In order to enter Thailand as a Tourist, you need to first obtain a Tourist Visa from your country's Thai Embassy. Thai Tourist Visa gives you a timeframe of 60 days max, to remain in Thailand as a tourist. Anyone can also obtain 30 day visa, from any Thai boarder just by presenting the legal documents.
If it is required you can get another 30 day extension to the local Immigration Office paying some fees (1000 – 2000bht depending on the number of days and your nationality).
But what if you want to remain more days?
In that case things are different and depends on your nationality, age, money and purpose of remaining more days in Thailand. Officialy a "Visa Run" is forbidden! However there is a whole industry running…based on people who want to extend their Visa.

Why, Going For a Thai Visa Run in Penang?
First of all…Why Not?
Nahhh…I'm just joking, but you should visit Malaysia when you have time. I've heard the best, it has one of the best F1 Grand Prix Circuits of the world, I've seen many pictures and I'm planning to spend a whole month exploring this country… 🙂 (but this is me)
Anyway, back to our subject. By going outside of Thai boarders you can obtain a new, fresh tourist visa counting again to 60 days (or 90 if you get another extension as I mentioned earlier) safe residence in Thailand.
At the time I'm writing this post, Penang can give you 60 fresh days (+ 30…) , but be sure to double check before you decide where to go for your Thai Visa Run, cause things always change.

What Else There Is To Know About Thai Visa Run in Penang?
Most people that choose Penang to do their Thai Visa Run, live in Phuket or in South Thailand in general. You will have to choose wisely your transportation mean. There are choices like:
- Public Bus (highly suggested, safe, budget friendly)
- Private Mini Bus (depends on how adventurous you are…)
- Car Sharing (if you are a group)
- Airplane (check the dates first!!!)
I'm going to do my Thai Visa Run in Penang tonight and I've chosen the Public Bus. It will cost me around 2000bht to go in Penang, stay there 1 night and return back. The reason you need to stay there, 1 night minimum, is that the local immigration office has a lot of workload, so you better find a local guesthouse to pass your night.

Hope I've managed to clear this out for you…and be sure to check my other posts to find my Thai Visa Run in Penang review that I'm going to write about once I return from Penang.
