"Full of bright flavor, Chuck Hughes' salad is a lovely mix of parsley, mint and oregano and is bulked up with tomatoes, cucumber, and chickpeas. Toasted and crumbled pita bread is an inventive way to replace traditional croutons! This is really inexpensive if you use herbs from your garden. From the Cooking Channel."

Nov 24, 2013When I first arrived at the Renaissance Waverly I was immediately taken by this art that was sculpted into the side of the building. I received a very warm welcome from the staff outside and was immediately impressed by how beautiful the hotel was on the inside. There's a restaurant here, a book store and fresh lemonade for guests. I decided to stop here just before having lunch across the street at Corner bakery. Directly across from the hotel there are a ton of places to eat and shop including my favorite yogurt spot -- Pinkberry. The day I visited the hotel was extremely busy and there was a convention going on. It was so busy the man at the front desk didn't have a moment to show me a room. I gathered from an impatient hotel guest who was in line behind me that the front desk had been slow throughout his entire stay. I'm not sure if this was typical or if they were just overwhelmed with convention guests. Still, this was a really nice hotel and it's also close to the interstate and Cumberland Malll.

I was blown away by the Renaissance, a beautiful luxury hotel in Northwest Atlanta.
I love atrium style hotel buildings, and the Renaissance Waverly is a beautiful example of that design. All 14 floors look down into a massive, open atrium area that links to restaurants, bars, a huge spa area, and even a few stores.
The rooms were particularly fancy and beautiful. There was a 42" television and a very modern desk alongside decorations and styling that was very clearly regularly updated and modern – the room felt like it was from a hotel that had just been built.
You can find plenty to do in the hotel without ever leaving the building. I think I counted three restaurants, a Starbucks, and at least one full service bar. The hotel even has its own UPS store if you've got an errand to run. Plus, the hotel is connected to the galleria

Aug 19, 2013I stayed for a conference so although it is probably not the best choice of visiting the city of Atlanta the hotel was beautiful and my room was amazing! Large room with a king sized bed and large panoramic windows.

Jun 25, 2013The staff was very available and accommodating when I visited, and their spa facilities were impressive: massage rooms, racquetball courts, and an indoor and outdoor pool (the outdoor pool is a little tricky to find since its up three flights of stairs). Also, their suites are enormous—with two bathrooms, a living room, microwave and mini fridge and huge windows for loads of natural light. I loved the modern décor in the room and little touches like complimentary spa water at check-in. And, perhaps most importantly, the hotel is connected to great restaurants at the Galleria and right across the street from Cumberland Mall, but I did not ever hear the busy interstate from the room!
- Renaissance Waverly HotelMichael Vann JrFirst to ReviewJul 05, 2012
The Renaissance Waverly Hotel is a location I stay at least once a year for an annual festival I attend. The location is incredible for anyone attending a conference at the Cobb Galleria Center. The hotel literally attaches to the conference center and is across the street from Cumberland Mall and there is free parking!
The hotel and amenities are very nice, and the rooms have recently been updated with some fun new accent pieces. The beds are comfortable and linens are great. The hotel has an Italian design feel with the Medici restaurant and tusca blu bar. The spa here is great!
I have had mixed customer service at this hotel, and that concerns me for a location that conducts so much business with conferences. Most recently I requested a double room at check-in, was told the room was double when the room keys were given, and when I returned a few hours later after checking into the conference the room was a king. Four people were staying in this room together. All rooms were booked and the only solution was a roll-away bed. The hotel did comp one night after I presented a list of seven grievances for a two night stay.
Overall, this a good hotel. However, when dealing with a large conference the staff can get overwhelmed.

How do we identify the new version from version 2?
This is a discussion on Identify New ipad from version 2 within the iPad 3 Forum forums, part of the Apple iPad Discussions category; How do we identify the new version from version 2?...
How do we identify the new version from version 2?
Look at the screens. The text on the new iPad is much, much sharper. You can also take a screen shot and look at the number of pixels in the image file (2048 x 1536 vs 1024 x 768). That is a dead giveaway too. And of course the new ipad is slightly heavier than the 2011 model.
Of course, I'm assuming you're talking about an iPad that is not in the box. If it is inside the box, you can look at part numbers. They are different between the two devices. I don't have that info handy, but I have seen it posted here.
mini iPad w/ RD - 128 LTE - Space Grey | iPad mini - 64 GB - LTE - Black | iPad (3nd Gen) - 64GB - LTE - Black | iPhone 4S - 64GB - White | Nexus 10 | Nexus 7 2013 | Kindle Fire

If you have a serial number to look up:
Lookup Mac Specs By Serial Number, Order, Model & EMC Number, Model ID @ EveryMac.com
Note that it says to enter only the last three or four digits, not the entire number.
Is there any "outward" sign of difference i.e. different printing on back etc?
At my age it can be difficult to understand what others regard as simple!
Earth calling... Why do we need to know which iPad the guy at the bus stop is holding? Unless we are about to repair one, but that's a different story.
You might want to take a look at this article and pay extra attention to the physical differences indicated in the table. For example, as shown in the table, the Ipad 3 is thicker compared to the Ipad 2 due to the Ipad 3's larger battery.
@theTIMO - no help whatsoever - so why even bother posting? - maybe you just want to increase your "novice" score?
@coolstuffs - thanks but specs comparisons have always been easy to obtain but of no use when I don't have both ipads at the front of me.
@Kaykaykay - thank you for your comments above.
If I am buying second hand - and in bulk as I do - then I need to be able to tell quickly and easily which "generation" I am looking at - I guess I am going to have to carry a micrometer to check the thickness of each iPad - not a pleasant job if I have a pile of 200 to check!!
At my age it can be difficult to understand what others regard as simple!
It's true that there are minor outward differences, but if you don't have two iPads to compare or cannot recognize a retina screen, then your best bet is to check the serial number. That's if you need to know for sure. If I'm just being nosy, I just ask someone whether they've got an iPad 2 or the new iPad, lol.

Are you made of stone
A couple of British researchers just possibly enhanced (complicated) my empathy research jam. Good news: circuitry clarification. Meh news: more scales please! CheersThanksaLot.
Most empathy research in the forensic context has assumed that empathy has two components. In this two-component model, the cognitive component involves perspective taking, and the affective component involves experiencing appropriate emotion. (…) this assumption has both dominated and limited empathy research with offenders, nearly all of which has been conducted with sexual offenders. We propose instead that five components are involved in the experience of empathy: perspective taking, the ability to experience emotion, a belief that others are worthy of compassion and respect, situational factors, and an ability to manage personal distress. We suggest that the non-situational factors that blocked empathy for the victim at the time of a sexual offense are probably other dispositions known to be related to sexual offending, such as sexual preoccupation, generalized hostility to others, implicit theories about children and sex, and/or poor coping with negative emotions.

ua you're gone, but never forgotten, R.I.P.
http://espn.go.com/blog/new-york/met...medium=twitterJapan-based Sports Hochi reports the Mets are among the teams negotiating with right-hander Daisuke Matsuzaka. The newspaper, quoting a U.S.-based source, identifies the Cleveland Indians and Miami Marlins as the other teams in talks with Matsuzaka's reps.
Mets insider disputed the report, however, saying he does not believe the organization has spoken with Matsuzaka "at all."
The report adds that the San Diego Padres, Houston Astros and Japanese teams also have shown interest, but those two major league teams are not in current talks.
"If it's possible, I want to stay with the Red Sox, but I think the possibility is almost zero," Matsuzaka told the newspaper in Japanese.
Ninety percent Ill spend on good times, women, and Irish whiskey. The other ten percent Ill probably waste.
- Tug McGraw, on his plans for his $75,000 salary
They would have gotten the $$ back if they won the bid but he returned to Japan. Boras was never considering that a realistic option, though. The Japanese team that would have had to give the $50 mil back would have been a little miffed at Boras and he'd never be able to do anything like that with Japanese players ever again. The Sox had all the leverage to negotiate a smaller deal but they just didn't want to bother haggling, I guess.
Why not if it's a Minor League deal? I see it as the same low risk move as Chris Young, but we've seen Chris Young for two years here and he's done nothing special, not even average at best.
If Dice-K is healthy at least he has the possibility to eat up 160+ innings. Whereas Young has zero shot to approach that number.

Ivy claims to have no birthday plans. Perfect! Tom's taking her out. Twenty minutes ago, she was disrespecting him in front of everyone, and now she's a pushover, unable to say, "No thanks. I'm busy." I don't get it!
Eureka! Here's the good press Eileen's been desperate for! Tonight, Ivy and Tom will be celebrating Ivy's birthday and—wonder of wonder, miracle of photo ops, Liza Minnelli is going to happen to be there! FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE!

There's a perfectly good reason to not use SPF. It breaks many, many valid mail setups. For example, any system that does any kind of mail forwarding.

I cannot figure out what's a "wild 'net" host. Therefore it is absolutely not clear to me why it should be exempt from SPF.
SMTP provided a Return-Path for bounces assuming users to be polite enough to set it to the real address of the sender. Since spammers are not polite, SPF corrects just that. What's broken?

Free Agents: The Lefty Relievers
Hello All! The Hot Stove is just starting to heat up. Yesterday, the Padres named Bud Black their new manager and also traded the talented Josh Barfield to the Indians for 3B Kevin Kouzmanoff and a reliever. So, the rumor mill tells us that the Padres next move will be a deal to acquire 2B Marcus Giles, teaming him with his brother Brian Giles. That is only the beginning!
Over the next couple of days, I would like to go through the free agent list and predict where the players may go and for how much. Yesterday, I started this by looking at the free agent starting pitchers. Like any prediction or projection, it is a glorified guess, but I would like to put my guesses out there and compare my lists to the "experts" picks and see how I do. My information comes from things I've read or heard, but mainly it is just me, trying to think like a GM and trying to place players with teams that make sense. I'd love to hear your thoughts on any of them, so let's get some Comments going.
Today, I will discuss more pitchers. 40 relievers who have signed up for free agency so far, and 14 of them are left-handed (note- they have until Saturday to do so). I am going to name the players, their former team, a couple of comments on them, my projection for where they will end up and for the contract they could receive. Finally, I will tie this into the Twins, since this is a Twins blog, and discuss if that player makes any sense for the team. I believe that the Twins should go after one lefty reliever just as insurance in case Dennys Reyes turns back into Dennys Reyes. Let's get it started:
Left-Handed Relief Pitchers (14)
Alan Embree
2006 Team - San Diego Padres
Comments - After posting ERAs of over 7.50 for both the Red Sox and the Yankees in 2005, Embree came back with a very solid 2006 season. In 73 games, he threw 52.1 innings. He struck out 53 and walked just 15. He was 3-1 with a 3.27 ERA and a WHIP of just 1.24. Lefties hit just .240/.288/.337 against him last year.
2007 Projection - Minnesota Twins
Contract - 1 year, $1 million
Twins Interest? - I absolutely think that they should try to acquire him for this type of money.
Aaron Fultz
2006 Team - Philadelphia Phillies
Comments - The former Twins reliever pitched 71.1 innings in 66 relief appearances for the Phillies. He was 3-1 with a 4.54 ERA. While lefties did hit .277 against him in 2006, they managed just a .668 OPS. All seven of his homers allowed came against righties.
2007 Projection - St. Louis Cardinals
Contract - 1 year, $1.2 million.
Actual - Indians, 1 year, $1.65, with option
Twins Interest? - I don't think that they would bring him back.
Eddie Guardado
2006 Team - Cincinnati Reds
Comments - Elbow surgery in late August likely will keep Guardado from pitching Every day! He started 2006 in Seattle, but in July, he was dealt to the Reds. He was 8 of 10 in save conversions in his short time with the Reds after losing his closer job in Seattle to JJ Putz. Although righties hit for an impressive 1.029 OPS against him last year, lefties posted just a .621 OPS against Eddie.
2007 Projection - Chicago Cubs
Contract - $750,000 for 2007, with a $2 million option for 2008.
Twins Interest? - I think it would be a good signing for the Twins. They could ease Eddie back and hopefully reap the benefits of a healthy Guardado late in the year.
Ray King
2006 Team - Colorado Rockies
Comments - I've always liked Ray King, and a couple of years ago, I would have advocated the Twins going after him. He spent last year putting up league average numbers in Colorado. He is a solid lefty. However, he really only faces lefties, and he only strikes out about one every other inning, not a great number. He also walks way too many hitters.
2007 Projection - Colorado Rockies
Contract - 1 year, $2.5 million
Twins Interest? - Probably very little. Definitely not at that money.
Steve Kline
2006 Team - San Francisco Giants
Comments - 34 year old Kline threw in 52.1 innings in 72 games for the Giants. He went 4-3 with a 3.66 ERA. However, he struck out just 33 and walked 26. Those are not good numbers and certainly not worth the $3 million he made in 2006. He did pitch quite a bit better against lefties than righties.
2007 Projection - San Diego Padres
Contract - 1 year, $1.5 million.
Twins Interest? - Hopefully not at this point.
Tom Martin
2006 Team - Colorado Rockies
Comments - Another 36 year old lefty with an ERA over 5.00 in 2006, Martin has been in the big leagues for the past nine seasons. Of course that was in Colorado and he only allowed four homers. Last year, left-handers hit better than right-handers against him. Then I looked and that is true for the past three years too.
2007 Projection - Washington Nationals
Contract - 1 year, $1 million
Twins Interest? - They probably shouldn't be.
Kent Mercker
2006 Team - Cincinnati Reds
Comments - Another lefty who has been around forever. Mercker is now 38 years old and has been in the big leagues since the Braves called him up in 1989. Like Guardado, Mercker's season came to an end last August when he needed elbow surgery. Over the past three years, righties and lefties have hit him about the same. In limited innings last year, lefties far out-produced righties against Mercker.
2007 Projection - Rehabbing much of the year
Contract - One year, $750,000 with incentives
Twins Interest? - None.
Darren Oliver
2006 Team - NY Mets
Comments - Oliver is 36 years old and you can't help but wonder how he has stayed in the big leagues from 1993 through 2004. He hadn't had an ERA under 4.2 since 1997. He was so bad that in 2005, he pitched in seven total games between the Cubs and Diamondbacks AAA affiliates, and was cut by each for pitching so poorly. And then the Mets signed him before the 2006 season and put him in the bullpen. He pitched 81 innings in 41 games and was 4-1 with a 3.44 ERA. Add in his six shutout inning performance in the World Series, and Oliver may have earned a one year Major League contract for 2007.
2007 Projection - NY Mets
Contract - 1 year, $1.2 million
Twins Interest? - None.
Arthur Rhodes
2006 Team - Philadelphia Phillies
Comments - It was a rough season for Rhodes. In 55 appearances, he went 45.1 innings. He struck out an impressive 48 hitters, but he walked an uncharacteristically high 30 hitters. It's not like he's been Greg Maddux throughout his career, but he walked too many last year. If he can pitch with better control, he could come back with a strong 2007 season. Last year, lefties also out-hit righties against him.
2007 Projection - Philadelphia Phillies
Contract - 1 year, $1.8 million
Twins Interest? - Probably not at the money and with the control issues, although I'm sure they think he is better than that too.
JC Romero
2006 Team - Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim
Comments - The Twins got Alexi Casilla for Romero last winter. Terry Ryan and his scouts are good. JC Romero... is not! He was amazing in 2002, and he has not been good since then. With the Angels, he went 1-2 with a 6.70 ERA and they didn't pick up his 2007 option. Righties throttled him to the tune of a 1.013 OPS. Lefties, on the other hand, did very little against him, posting a .633 OPS. If used correctly, he could really help a team. He is still just 30, but four straight bad years does say a lot.
2007 Projection - Colorado Rockies
Contract - Minor League deal
Twins Interest? - Not likely! At all!
Scott Schoenweiss
2006 Team - Cincinnati Reds
Comments - The 33 year old Schoenweiss has always believed he was a starter. However, he's not good enough to be a big league starter, but he is left-handed, so there is a job for him in a bullpen. After posting a 6.51 ERA in 55 appearances with the Blue Jays (37.1 innings), he was dealt to the Reds where he gave up just one run in 14.1 innings. Lefties hit just .236/.333/.292 against him.
2007 Projection - Cincinnati Reds
Contract - 1 year, $2.25 million
Twins Interest? - Hopefully none, at least not at that dollar value.
Mike Stanton
2006 Team - San Francisco Giants
Comments - Stanton is 39 years old and has been around for a long time. In 2006, he went 7-7 with eight saves and a 3.99 ERA. He pitched 67.2 innings in 82 games between the Nationals and Giants.
2007 Projection - Houston Astros
Contract - 1 year, $1 million
Actual - Reds, 2 years, $5.5 million
Twins Interest? - I really don't think so.
Ron Villone
2006 Team - NY Yankees
Comments - 11 teams in 12 big league seasons for the 36 year old Villone. I wish I was a lefty! He went 3-3 with a 5.04 ERA for the Yankees in 2006. Lefties hit .189/.281/.330. Of the 121 lefties that he faced, Villone struck out an impressive 37 of them.
2007 Projection - Los Angeles Angels
Contract - 1 year, $2 million
Twins Interest? - Wouldn't it be fun to bring Villone and Justin Morneau together? I just don't see it happening.
Jamie Walker
2006 Team - Detroit Tigers
Comments - I never would have guessed that Jamie Walker was 35 years old. Obviously Twins fans have seen quite a bit of him in the last four or five years and had mixed results. Like the Tigers, he was not good a few years ago, and in 2006, he put together a very solid season. Last year, left-handers hit .238/.265/.438 against him. The .728 OPS against was slightly better than the .734 that righties put up against him.
2007 Projection - Detroit Tigers
Contract - 1 year, $1.5 million
Actual - Orioles, 3 years, $12 million
Twins Interest? - Probably not a lot of interest.
That's it for today. Hopefully you found something interesting again today! Please stop back tomorrow.

This car seat is by far the best on the market. It is super safe which is a must and oh so soft. My son was in the nicu for 99 days, so I had to have a safe car seat. The pattern is lovely and the stroller is easy to put together.
This travel system was an amazing value for what we received. The quality of the stroller and the car seat were beyond what we had looked at elsewhere -- within one hundred dollars of our Overstock purchase price. I really like how padded the car seat is in comparison to other brands we looked at. The safety rating is great; we especially like the side-impact protection. Great color and pattern, too. The only downside was that it did not come with a separate instruction booklet for securing the car seat (the directions are directly on the car seat).

Bob answers e-mails and phone calls from people across the country looking for weight loss and fitness advice. Bob talks with Candy, who is trying to lose 130 pounds and is struggling to stay on a weight loss program. "This is just the one thing in my life I am not happy with," Candy says. "I am not happy with the way I look, the way I feel."
For the past few weeks, Candy says she has been on a diet and has lost 10 pounds, but she finds it difficult to maintain healthy eating habits and exercise. "I am really to the point now where I am ready to do this for myself, but I find it hard to keep up with it," she says. Bob says before Candy can commit to losing weight, she needs to realize that she is worth the effort. "A lot of women that I work with that are really wanting to lose weight and consistently sabotaging their own efforts have this core belief that, 'Hey, I am not deserving to live a perfect life,'" Bob says. While Candy says she has struggled with realizing her self-worth, she says she is committed to losing the weight this time. "I've spent so much of my life with this being the monkey on my back, and I want to live my life how I want to live it," Candy says. "I want to be more active with my kids and my husband and do the things I want to do." While Candy says she is ready to get serious about diet and exercise, Bob says it's important that her spouse and family get on board to support her. Bob also says Candy needs to reinforce to herself every day that she is worth it and a healthy weight can be a part of her life. "It is really about moving more and eating a little bit less and losing a pound or two a week," Bob says. Over the next few months Bob says he will keep tabs and Candy's progress and have her call in to report her weight loss progress. |

Suddenly famous, Harry Barker wins big online
Featured on 'Good Morning America', the retailer manages a rush of web orders.

When you're a top dog on TV, it pays to have your online order and fulfillment running at full stride. Just ask pet supplies retailer Harry Barker.
Harry Barker is a designer, wholesaler and online retailer of products ranging from "eco-friendly" hemp-and-cotton dog beds to personalized gift buckets filled with canine toys. When it agreed to have its products featured in the "Deals and Steals" segment on ABC-TV's "Good Morning America" show on Feb. 23, CEO Jessica Gibadlo and e-commerce manager Anna Sims worried at first that the big-time exposure could overwhelm the e-retailer's ability to fulfill orders accurately and in good time.
"We were worried about the worst-case scenario," Gibadlo says, having expected problems ranging from a possible rash of misplaced online orders to a frozen site unable to accept and process orders. "It could have been a completely missed opportunity for national exposure. If we didn't execute well, it could have really hurt our customer service reputation."
But like the top purebred at a big-time dog show, Harry Barker (named after founder Carol Perkins' Sheltie) strutted its stuff quite well, the company says. "We had two months' worth of sales in a single day," Gibadlo says without offering details. On other days, the order volume was triple the site's average. "It was massive," she adds. "But the orders were all fulfilled."
Harry Barker took several steps to make for a smooth transition from a niche web site to a nationally exposed one. It worked with Dydacomp, the provider of both its online order management software and SiteLink e-commerce site technology, to deploy an extra web server dedicated to handling customer orders. Harry Barker then batched the orders in groups of 30 before forwarding them to its warehouse. It also temporarily increased its warehouse and contact center staffs.
"Good Morning America" viewers were instructed to go to the Good Morning America/Deals and Steals section on ABCNews.com, where they could find a link to a landing page on HarryBarker.com for special 50%-off discounts on merchandise. Both the HarryBarker landing page and the TV show's host cautioned viewers that the special promotion could result in extra time to process and ship orders because of the expected high volume of visitors.
"We made it apparent that it could take 10 days for orders to be fulfilled," Gibadlo says. "Overall, it went really well. It went way better than our expectations."
The power of e-commerce that Harry Barker experienced through TV convinced the retailer to take additional steps to upgrade its e-commerce site, which is hosted by Dydacomp. "We realized what could be achieved when we got in front of so many people," Sims says.
As a result, Harry Barker is working on improving its web design to make it easier for shoppers to log onto the site, present more cross-selling opportunities in the shopping cart, and more easily complete purchases. Although such improvements had been considered before, "Good Morning America made it more of priority for us," Sims says. "As a small business with many competing priorities, it took GMA to make us see the power of the e-commerce channel."
E-commerce technology will be covered in a number of sessions at the Internet Retailer Conference & Exhibition 2012 next month, including a session titled "Cross-Channel Commerce: Techniques and technologies to leverage," presented by retailers Katherine Goodman, vice president, e-commerce, The Talbots Inc., and Peter Taylor, director of business development and e-commerce, Sport Chalet.

Abhisit faces several challanges if he were to try to become PM.Firstly he is British and admitted so after trying to keep this a secret.Secondly it was he who signed orders to set up a "Life Fire Zone" in Bangkok and is seen as being responsible for the subsequent massacre in 2010.Abhisit was also in charge when cluster bombs were fired at Cambodian villages in Feb 2012,where he tried to claim the missiles fired were not cluster bombs despite being told by Cluster Munitions Coalition "they were typical cluster bombs".It's quite obvious therefore he is totally un- electable.
It must be said that the 2007 election that DP won 40% of the votes, the electoral process was very strangely arranged to favour DP - or more to the point to directly weaken the pro-Thaksin camp.
First, the single party list that was used in 2 prior elections was terminated in favour of 8 party lists that are divided based on grouping of provinces that only share borders. Second, the one-MP constituency was also cancelled in favour of three-MP constituencies. In short it is gerrymandering to prevent the Pro-Thaksin camp to win an election. More than a year since the 2006 coup to the day of 2007 election, you get 24/7 bashings of Thaksin and his cronies on all of free-to-air TVs. Despite all these odds, the pro-Thaksin party (then PPP) won, albeit short of out-right majority but yet the margin of the victory cannot deny PPP a right to form a coalition government.
In the most recent election, in 2011, the Democrats got 35% of the vote. This was down from the 40% they got in the 2007 election, when they were the largest political party, but, in the 2001 election, the Democrats only got 27% of the vote. So, contrary to the article's assertion, the Democrats have been growing more popular, not less popular. This is probably due to the "clean" reputation of the Democrats' most recent leaders, Chuan and Abhisit.
Additionally, The Economist's correspondent should have pointed out that the party that since 2001 more often than not has beaten the Democrats, is a party that, notwithstanding their many popular policies, actually achieved electoral success through (i) amalgamations of other parties and (i) defections of Democrat MPs, both of which were widely reported to have been induced by monetary considerations.
If the Thai voters feel that a man who has spent his entire political career lining his own pockets, who purchased a premier league football team using public money and who chose to run away rather than face the serious criminal charges against him is electable, I don't see any reason why Khun Abhisit should be considered as unelectable.
Thanks for your comments on my comments. You are absolutely right that there was gerrymandering favoring the Democrats before that election. But the 2007 election result I was referring to was the popular vote, not number of parliamentary seats won. The Democrats narrowly became the party with the greatest popular vote, but People's Power Party still gained slightly more party list votes, so the gerrymandering was not completely successful!
Yes, it is sad that you have to defend a career criminal; it is also sad that the Democratic Party has failed to provide a viable alternative up until now (as this article rightly pointed out).
Personally, I feel that corruption and money laundering are serious offences and as for the rest of the world, well, the British authorities would appear to agree with me as they revoked his visa whilst he was out of the country. The German government also cancelled his residency permit, presumably because they have no desire to provide a home for criminals on the run. This would seem to indicate that he cannot in fact travel the world freely and that I am not the only one who feels his offences were serious.
Whilst Thaksin continues to evade justice and hides behind his Montenegrin citizenship, I can only conclude that he takes his offences seriously too. The only mistake I can see that I made in my original comment was to refer to criminal charges when in fact I should have said convictions.
It is sad that I have to defend this man whom I never voted for up until 2006 coup but because of the Thai elites denial and failure to offer the Thai electorates with competitive choice, Thaksin and his cronies has easier time than they should to win elections after elections.
Serious criminal charges? May be the rest of the World doesn't think so. Thaksin so far hasn't set his foot back into Thailand because he doesn't want to spend even a day in Thai jail. But he can travel the World because the rest of the World know the charges against him were politically motivated.
In other words when playing politics, play it out in the public arena for everyone to see and judge. Good ol' boys politic is arcane and apparently not getting votes. A Good thing.

I posted this excellent article about the Tea Party in another thread but I think it merits a thread of its own. I strongly agree with the author. http://communities.washingtontimes.com/neighborhood/conscience-realist/2013/oct/14/cotto-its-time-tea-party-split-gop/
Fat chance they're dumb enough to split and make it easier for the Dems to conquer. Divide and conquer... that is the Communist motto. We're not falling for that jackassery.
There is a growing concern that the TPer's fanaticism is ruining the Republican Party. Since the pub's favorability rating in Congress is at an all-time low--thanks to the TPers--it seems inevitable that the Party will start primarying these radicals. Cruz will probably be at the top of the list.
Is there really a big ideological split? Other than maybe immigration reform, seems like much of the beef is over tactics, not actual positions on things.
As long as they do what's right for our country like shrinking the size of government and reducing taxes then I'm okay with that... screw the polls that have nothing to do with each individual Tea Party Conservative's back yard voting district. That's national media made-up BS.
I think with this last TP-led debacle the Pubs have had their fill with the TPers and want them gone. When a faction becomes so extreme that they ruin the Party it doesn't matter if they share some common interest. It's like wanting anarchists around. Tactics do matter.
The reality here is there is no Tea Party. There are a few people that are smart enough at math to realize that you can't either spend or tax your way to prosperity. For that these so called Tea Party folks are maligned by the people that give away the sovereignty of this great nation for personal gain. There is no honor in either the GOP or the Democratic party as it stands. The one thing big government types like the GOP and Democratic party have in common is that what they fear the most is personal responsibility. I encourage all of you to leave your party and never ever give money to these people. If you want to support a specific candidate then so be it but keep it to your district and let others determine who represents them in their district without influence from the almighty dollar.
The lack of ideological split is between Democrats and Republicans, which is why the Tea Party became a need in the first place. The world belongs to ideologues -- dirty little secret that drives human history. The GOP is a party that doesn't have one, they have been lulled into this asinine belief that all there is is political pragmatism, that we are post-ideological. Democrats don't live or govern that way, though. And now, for the first time in decades, there is ideological pushback.
Probably the best relatively recent comparison to the tea party would be the dixiecrats of the late 40s and early 50s. But the dixiecrats were conservative democrats who ultimately moved to the republican party. The tea party really has nowhere to go. There is no mainstream party to the right of the tea party.
They don't want them gone though. For the most part, everyone in the GOP at least pays tacit homage to the TP. The "moderates" may find them coarse and tactically stupid, but I don't see them doing anything to marginalize them, because in principle they dont really disagree on much of anything.
If the TP continues in their ways, what will happen is that they'll end up being primaried...even in the "safe" gerrymandered districts. People in these districts will start to realize how costly both monetarily to the country and power-wise to the Party that the TP's tactics have been. Furthermore, Pubs also want to win state and national elections--that's something they're having a difficult time with. Even the people that vote in the safe districts will have to open their eyes if the Pub Party is to stay competitive.
They might *want* the Tea Party gone, but they walk exist off the Tea Party like any parasite. The GOP died in 2006. It is an undead vampire living off the blood of the "enough of this BS" tea party. Look, the GOP killed itself, it created its own irrelevance with its base by wasting 2000 through 2006 not only failing to shrink or reform government, but to make it bigger and more intrusive. That election was as much or more about federal laws about Terri Schiavo* and Medicare Part D as it was about wars. Just as liberals were rising up, the conservative base said "eff these guys", boom, 2006 and 2008. By 2009, the conservative base realizes that as awful as Republicans were, putting government growth and intrusiveness in the hands of the professionals on the left was catastrophe, and came roaring back in 2010. But the leadership/infrastructure of the GOP is not teachable, clearly, not even when they are given another chance.
I don't think that is entirely accurate, wb..or I just see it slightly differently I believe the threat of being primaried on the right by TP types has scared many a moderate into keeping mum. There can of course be some tacit approval given that the differences are sometimes only a matter of degree and/or difference of opinion regarding tactics (thus not philosophical), but I really do think the driving force is self-preservation. Many moderates are simply unwilling to fall on their sword to expose the lunacy (though that's certainly changed a smidgeon in recent weeks).
What is it really that the "moderates" disagree with the TP on? Maybe immigration. But what else is there? I'm sure they find their millenarian streak troubling and inconvenient, but only when it isnt convenient and useful.
My personal opinion is that the Democratic party doesn't have a single viable candidate that is palatable to Born again Christians which are still the majority though the democrats would have you believe Gays and Blacks are 50% of the population. However, they won't turn out the vote for a dirtbag like Mccain or a rich-boy like Romney. The Tea party scares the crap out of the political establishment because if they ever got the power the people would realize that freedom is actually good for them. What we have right now is not freedom.
Yes, its true they don't like them (see the shutdown, primaries), except the situations when they do like them (election day, fund raising).

A Super Bowl 2013 celebrity touched down in Omaha today.
No, not players Joe Flacco or Colin Kaepernick or either of the brothers Harbaugh, the opposing coaches.
It's Tommie Turvey, trainer of the beloved Clydesdales that appear in Budweiser's most recent Super Bowl commercial. Titled "Brotherhood" and set to Fleetwood Mac's "Landslide," the spot features the touching reunion of a rancher and the Budweiser Clydesdale he raised.
Turvey is in town for The International horse-jumping competition at the CenturyLink Center this weekend. He'll perform a series of trick rides during opening ceremonies both Friday and Saturday night. Others performing include opera singer Marcelo Guzzo (Friday) and the Omaha Symphony (Saturday).
An equine entertainer and stuntman, Turvey's credits include appearances in "The Walking Dead" and the HBO mini-series "John Adams."

text: Summer fun is in full swing! Boating, picnics, pool parties—all great activities, but none of them ideal places for glass bottles of wine. Fortunately, the producers of good wine have set aside their bias against alternative packaging.At the forefront of this movement are folks interested in organic farming who recognize the inefficiency of glass. Glass is heavy, after all, and requires lots of fuel to move it around, so its carbon footprint is formidable. Fuel, in turn, is expensive, so even not-so-green producers are seeing the other green to be saved from moving away from glass. Such is the case for Bota Box Pinot Grigio 2009 ($22, Republic National). This compact, three-liter box holds the equivalent of four bottles of wine. Wrapped in unbleached, 100 percent recyclable cardboard, the wine is light and easygoing, with elements of lemon, honeydew, and pineapple. It works best well-chilled as an aperitif or with light fare like Caesar salad or antipasto.Perhaps the most versatile wine to have on hand during the hot weather is a well-made dry rosé, and Yellow and Blue Rosé 2009 ($12, Bacchus Importers Ltd.) delivers. Estate grown and produced in Alicante, Spain, this blend of Syrah and Monastrell is a refreshing but full-flavored mouthful. Notes of strawberry and watermelon co-mingle with grilled herb notes to make an engaging, delicious bottle—oops, one-liter carton of wine. The grapes are 100 percent certified organic, and a portion of the wine's proceeds benefits Kiva (a website that links benefactors to entrepreneurs in developing nations).Sultry evenings do not mix well with heavy, red wine. What works better is a mid-weight red wine with ripe fruit, little or no oak, and a dash of spice to handle grilled foods. Thankfully, such a wine can be found in Domaine Montirius "Le Cadet" ($33, The Country Vintner). This may be the best wine currently available in a three-liter bag-in-box. Taking organic one step farther, this biodynamically produced Southern French charmer displays pleasant notes of plum, cherry, and pomegranate without being the least bit leaden. Le Cadet—a simple, quintessential, summertime bistro red—possesses a finesse that I find irresistible.

Parlodel Side Effects
Generic Name: bromocriptine
Note: This document contains side effect information about bromocriptine. Some of the dosage forms listed on this page may not apply to the brand name Parlodel.
Some side effects of Parlodel may not be reported. Always consult your doctor or healthcare specialist for medical advice. You may also report side effects to the FDA.
For the Consumer
Applies to bromocriptine: oral capsule, oral tablet
Along with its needed effects, bromocriptine (the active ingredient contained in Parlodel) may cause some unwanted effects. Although not all of these side effects may occur, if they do occur they may need medical attention.
Some serious side effects have occurred during the use of bromocriptine to stop milk flow after pregnancy or abortion. These side effects have included strokes, seizures (convulsions), and heart attacks. Some deaths have also occurred. You should discuss with your doctor the good that this medicine will do as well as the risks of using it.
Check with your doctor immediately if any of the following side effects occur while taking bromocriptine:
More common- Dizziness or lightheadedness, especially when getting up from a lying or sitting position
- nausea
- Confusion
- hallucinations (seeing, hearing, or feeling things that are not there)
- uncontrolled movements of the body, such as the face, tongue, arms, hands, head, and upper body
- Abdominal or stomach pain (continuing or severe)
- increased frequency of urination
- loss of appetite (continuing)
- lower back pain
- runny nose (continuing)
- weakness
- Black, tarry stools
- bloody vomit
- chest pain (severe)
- convulsions (seizures)
- fainting
- fast heartbeat
- headache (unusual)
- increased sweating
- nausea and vomiting (continuing or severe)
- nervousness
- shortness of breath (unexplained)
- vision changes (such as blurred vision or temporary blindness)
- weakness (sudden)
Some side effects of bromocriptine may occur that usually do not need medical attention. These side effects may go away during treatment as your body adjusts to the medicine. Also, your health care professional may be able to tell you about ways to prevent or reduce some of these side effects. Check with your health care professional if any of the following side effects continue or are bothersome or if you have any questions about them:
Less common- Constipation
- diarrhea
- drowsiness or tiredness
- dry mouth
- leg cramps at night
- loss of appetite
- mental depression
- stomach pain
- stuffy nose
- tingling or pain in the fingers and toes when exposed to cold
- vomiting
Some side effects may be more likely to occur in patients who are taking bromocriptine for Parkinson's disease, acromegaly, or pituitary tumors since they may be taking larger doses.
For Healthcare Professionals
Applies to bromocriptine: compounding powder, oral capsule, oral tablet
Gastrointestinal side effects have included nausea (18% to 49%), constipation (3% to 14%), vomiting (2% to 5%), abdominal cramps (5%), indigestion/dyspepsia (4%), anorexia (4%), diarrhea (3%), gastrointestinal bleeding (less than 2%), abdominal discomfort, anorexia, dry mouth, and peptic ulcers have been reported.
Nervous system
Nervous system side effects have included headache (19%), dizziness (17%), fatigue (7%), lightheadedness (5%), and drowsiness/tiredness (3%). Other side effects occurring less frequently (less than 2%) have included faintness, vertigo, paresthesia, insomnia, decreased sleep requirement, heavy headedness, sluggishness, reduced tolerance to cold, asthenia, tingling of ears, and numbness. A syndrome resembling neuroleptic malignant syndrome has been reported on abrupt withdrawal of bromocriptine (the active ingredient contained in Parlodel)
Syncope and symptomatic hypotension (decreases in supine systolic and diastolic pressures of greater than 20 mm and 10 mm Hg, respectively) have been reported in approximately 30% of postpartum patients.
Seizures and/or strokes have been reported with bromocriptine (the active ingredient contained in Parlodel) administration. Many of the patients experiencing seizures and/or strokes reported developing a continuous headache, often progressively severe, hours to days prior to the acute event. In addition, visual disturbances (blurred vision and transient cortical blindness) have been reported to also precede stroke and/or seizure events. If a patient experiences severe, progressive, or unremitting headache (with or without visual disturbance), or evidence of CNS toxicity develops, bromocriptine therapy should be discontinued and the patient should be evaluated promptly.
Cardiovascular side effects have included postural/orthostatic hypotension (6%), digital vasospasm (3%), syncope (less than 2%), seizures, stroke, and myocardial infarction. Rare cardiovascular side effects including arrhythmia, pleural and pericardial effusions, constrictive pericarditis, ventricular tachycardia, bradycardia, and vasovagal attack have been reported.
A case of severe dilated cardiomyopathy has been reported in a 31-year-old African American female one month after initiating treatment of a microprolactinoma with bromocriptine 5 mg orally daily. An echocardiogram showed a markedly dilated left ventricle with severe reduction in the left-ventricular ejection fraction. The patient returned to NYHA Class I four weeks after bromocriptine was stopped.
Respiratory side effects have included nasal congestion (3%) and shortness of breath. Pulmonary infiltrates, pleural effusion, and thickening of the pleura have been reported with long-term administration (6 months to 36 months) of bromocriptine (the active ingredient contained in Parlodel) doses ranging from 20 mg to 100 mg daily. Upon termination of bromocriptine therapy, these changes slowly reverted towards normal.
Rare cases of cerebrospinal fluid rhinorrhea have been reported in patients who have received previous transphenoidal surgery and/or pituitary radiation, and who were receiving bromocriptine for tumor recurrence.
Musculoskeletal side effects have included muscle cramps, facial pallor, abnormal involuntary movements, ataxia, edema of the feet and ankles, and erythromelalgia.
Rare musculoskeletal side effects including tingling of fingers, cold feet, numbness, muscle cramps in feet and legs, and exacerbation of Raynaud's Syndrome have been reported during bromocriptine therapy.
Parkinsonian patients may manifest mild degrees of dementia, therefore, caution should be used when treating such patients.
Bromocriptine (the active ingredient contained in Parlodel) alone or in combination with levodopa, may cause hallucinations (visual or auditory). Hallucinations usually resolve with dosage reduction; occasionally, discontinuation of the drug is required. Rarely, after high doses, hallucinations have persisted for several weeks after discontinuation of the drug.
Psychiatric side effects have included delusional psychosis, paranoia, depression, anxiety, confusion, "on-off" phenomenon, and nightmares. High doses of bromocriptine may be associated with confusion and mental disturbances (hallucinations). Postmarketing reports suggest that patients treated with antiparkinson medications can experience intense urges to gamble, increased sexual urges, intense urges to spend money uncontrollably, and other intense urges. Patients may be unable to control these urges while taking the medications used for the treatment of Parkinson's disease and that increase central dopaminergic tone.
Ocular side effects have included visual disturbance and blepharospasm. Secondary deterioration of visual field may develop in patients receiving treatment for hyperprolactinemia due to chiasmal herniation. The visual field defect may improve on reduction of bromocriptine (the active ingredient contained in Parlodel) dosage.
Genitourinary side effects have included urinary frequency, urinary incontinence, and urinary retention.
Dermatologic side effects have included mottling of skin and skin rash.
Other side effects have included hair loss, alcohol potentiation, reduced tolerance to cold, tingling of the ears, sign and symptoms of ergotism such as tingling of the fingers, cold feet, numbness, muscle cramps of feet and legs or exacerbation of Raynaud's syndrome.
Local side effects have included retroperitoneal fibrosis in a few patients receiving long-term therapy (2 to 10 years) with bromocriptine (the active ingredient contained in Parlodel) in doses ranging from 30 to 140 mg daily.
Studies have shown that Parkinson's patients have an approximately 2 to 6 fold higher risk of developing melanoma than the general population. It is not clear whether this increased risk was due to Parkinson's disease or other factors, such as drugs used to treat Parkinson's disease.

We have been breeding parrots since 1984. Over the years, we have bred many types of parrots on our ranch including:
Congo African Greys, Timneh African Greys,
Eclectus, Tucuman Amazons,
Blue and Gold Macaws,
Greenwing Macaws,
Ruby Macaws,
Military Macaws,
Illiger Mini Macaws,
Hahns Mini Macaws, Lesser Sulphur Crested Cockatoos,
Umbrella Cockatoos, Goffins Cockatoos and
Moluccan Cockatoos.
I've been breeding and raising birds most of my life (pigeons, pheasants, quail, falcons), but Janet has the parrot experience. She was the nursery supervisor for one of the largest parrot breeding facilities in the United States, and has hand raised literally thousands of baby parrots from tiels to macaws.
In additon, she has been a contributing author to several research papers and BirdTalk articles and she is sought out worldwide for advice on raising parrots.
Picture Gallery:
Within the links of this section you will find literally 100's of pictures. Most of the pictures you will see are pictures of the baby birds we have raised over the last 5 years and a few pictures of the adult breeder birds we have.

AJAX global default timeout
AJAX global default timeout
Hello All
I can't seem to overwrite the global ajax timeout of 30 seconds.
If I try to update the timeout globally to 45 seconds, it still times out after 30 seconds.
Ext.Ajax.timeout = 45000;
If I set timeout on ajax proxy on data store to 45 seconds it works. What am I don't wrong? I want to change timeout globally instead of setting it on every datastore.
Ext.create('Ext.data.Store', {
proxy: {
type: 'ajax',
timeout: 45000,
I should also add that I am using extjs 4.
Thank you for your help.
1 Sep 2011 3:08 AM #2
I had done that like this in Ext 3, Ext override doesn't seem to be changed in Ext 4 so this should work.
Connection class is base of all ajax requests so it will extend time for any kind of ajax request.
Code:Ext.override(Ext.data.Connection, { timeout:45000 }
1 Sep 2011 1:29 PM #3
When using an Ajax Proxy, rather than just an Ajax Request, you will need to do:
Code:Ext.override(Ext.data.proxy.Ajax, { timeout:60000 });
2 Sep 2011 6:57 AM #4
Thank you very much. This did the trick.

I would suggest Lafayette for Louisiana. They have a really good player base and have been growing a lot the past 5 years.

I see what you are asking... The PDGA does force players to move up within the amateur ranks. It just doesn't force anyone to move from amateur to pro based on rating.

If you have never cashed in pro, however, you can still play advanced regardless of how high you are rby cox3 - General Discussion
That is correct. Kevin, accepting cash in non-PDGA events as no bearing on your status as a PDGA amateur. Furthermore, there are two ways to have amateur status in the PDGA.

I believe that the SN defers to the PDGA in dual sanctioned tournaments. So regardless of how many times you have accepted cash in SN you can still play whatever you are eligible to play in PDGA.

I understand what yall are saying except for the fact that any expense can be transferred to a per player fee.
