You are a fine and patient teacher, thank you. I'll keep an eye out for something you may like. I'm chuckling picturing the reactions of your friend to my pic coupled with your outlined comments,perfect. Thanks again.
thanks! and just so you don't feel so bad about your failure at getting a perfect sky, I also had such a failure a few months ago, a near twin to yours but even more contaminated. A gorgeous deep azure blue, and unbelievably for here in New England, a gang of TEN Juvenile Delinquents soared around overhead, preventing a clear shot. At least only 3 at a time cluttered my shots!

Illinois Study Questions SSTP
Supporters of a plan to require out-of-state retailers to collect sales tax from Illinois customers to send back to Illinois say the state and local governments could gain $500 million of revenue, but a report by a Chicago-based government research group says the state stands to lose $295 million.
On October 18, The Civic Federation, a nonpartisan organization that focuses its activities on the Chicago region, issued "The Potential Impact of the Streamlined Sales and Use Tax Agreement on Illinois," a report criticizing the Streamlined Sales and Use Tax Project (SSTP). The SSTP is a national effort sponsored by retail industry groups and the National Conference of State Legislatures to simplify and make uniform the sales- and use-tax statutes of most states. This is being done, supporters say, to encourage the taxation of Internet, catalog, and other sales by out-of-state retailers.
All states but four collect sales and use taxes, and many of those that do collect the taxes exempt or reduce taxes on certain items, such as food or medicine. Local governments in states with sales taxes also collect their own sales taxes on top of the state taxes. Only states that enact the SSTP agreement would be subject to the out-of-state collections.
Under the proposed changes, sales taxes would be collected based on where a buyer takes possession of an item, instead of where the sale is made. As a result, a Chicago resident who bought an item over the Internet from an out-of-state retailer would be charged the sales tax rate that applies in Chicago.
Currently, in most instances that sales tax would not be charged at all.
Questions about Expected Benefits
The Civic Federation report says the expected benefits for Illinois would not materialize because of unrealistically high projections of revenue increases and underestimation of compliance costs, including loss of lease tax revenue in Chicago and shifting of sales taxes from one jurisdiction to another.
Illinois does not tax receipts from lease payments on personal property. "Instead, the lessor is considered the end-user of the goods and is taxed on the sales price of the goods when they are purchased," the report notes. "Compliance with the Agreement may require that Illinois begin taxing the lease payments rather than the purchase price of the goods. ...
"Changes to the taxation of leased property would also affect the City of Chicago's Personal Property Lease Transaction Tax," according to the report. "Currently, Chicago utilizes its home rule authority to tax lease payments at a rate of 6 percent under a local ordinance that is independent of the sales tax. Because the Agreement requires state and local sales tax bases to be identical by December 31, 2005, the City of Chicago would probably have to repeal its Lease Transaction Tax, at least to the extent that it applies to tangible personal property."
The organization projects Illinois could have realized $86 million in additional sales tax revenue during fiscal year 2001 and $81 million in fiscal year 2002 from taxing remote retail sales. Local governments could have realized $21 million in fiscal 2001 and $20 million in fiscal 2002, according to the study. After totaling expected revenue increases and compliance costs, however, the Civic Federation report projects "a potential for the State of Illinois to lose $295 million more than it gains from making the changes necessary to join the Streamlined Sales and Use Tax Agreement."
David Vite, president and chief executive of the Illinois Retail Merchants Association and a delegate to the SSTP, said the Civic Federation report is wrong on several counts.
"The City of Chicago will not lose $100 million, as they say," Vite said. "I talked to the co-chairman of the SSTP, and the agreement allows for lease tax payments to continue to be collected up front."
Vite also argues the Civic Federation's analysis of business-to-business transactions is wrong. The group claims such sales account for the bulk of remote transactions and already result in sales tax collections.
Vite acknowledges businesses usually do pay taxes on all transactions, because they are audited.
"However," said Vite, "businesses are pretty sophisticated. There is a 2 percent difference [in sales tax rates] between Chicago and outside the city. Many Chicago businesses have set up purchasing corporations outside of the city to purchase goods. Because there is not a corresponding use tax, they end up not paying 2 percent to the city.
"If the streamlined sales tax comes, they will pay that 2 percent, because it's based on point of delivery instead of point of purchase," Vite said.
Some Municipalities May "Cry and Scream"
The Civic Federation says Illinois sales tax receipts have remained stable, despite growing Internet retail sales, indicating the state is not losing sales tax money. But Vite argues that if Internet and catalog retailers were collecting sales taxes based on where purchased items are delivered, the state's sales tax receipts would be climbing.
Vite notes, however, that some municipalities probably would "cry and scream" at the idea of point-of-delivery rather than point-of-sale taxation.
"Those municipalities would be ones that have had the benefit of primarily big-ticket item companies, like lumberyards or window manufacturers or things like that," Vite said. "A truck from that window manufacturer might deliver product to every municipality in Illinois, but the one city gets the benefit of all those purchases. Under SSTP, if windows are delivered to Woodstock or McHenry [suburban Chicago communities], those towns will get the benefit of those sales."
The SSTP was created in 2000 to develop measures to design, test, and implement a system that simplifies sales and use taxes. Thirty-four states and the District of Columbia approved the Streamlined Sales and Use Tax Agreement that year.
In early 2003, legislation designed to conform state sales and use tax statutes to the agreement began to be introduced in state legislatures. The agreement says it will go into effect when 10 states representing at least 20 percent of the population of the states that currently impose a sales tax come into compliance. It would apply only in states that approve the SSTP agreement.
As of July 1, 2003, 20 states representing 31.7 percent of the U.S. population in states with sales and use tax levies had enacted legislation implementing the SSTP agreement, according to Taxware Resources, a developer of global, transaction-based tax calculation and compliance systems. However, two of those states, Texas and Washington, did not enact legislation implementing destination sourcing, and most observers believe this will prevent them from being in compliance.
Ohio adopted destination sourcing with an effective date of January 1, 2004, but later enacted legislation delaying the effective date to January 1, 2005. As a result, the 20 percent threshold for implementation of the SSTP will not be reached until the early part of 2005, according to Vite.

The drama is almost over, or perhaps it might just be the beginning as the NFL draft gets underway on Thursday night. Two questions will be answered. Which player will be the first pick in the draft and which team will select former Texas A&M quarterback Johnny Manziel. As rumors continue to fly regarding where the former Heisman Trophy winner goes, Manziel issued a warning on Wednesday, saying teams that pass him up will regret it.
Part of the allure of Johnny Manziel is his confidence on and off the field. He certainly has that confidence entering the draft. Whether he is the first pick or slips down as far as the middle of the first round, the talented quarterback told ESPN that if teams pass him up, they will regret it, saying, "I know in my heart how good I want to be and how committed I am to this game."
That commitment became headlines when partying became and issue at Texas A&M as NFL teams had concerns on whether Manziel's head was already too big for the game. Again, the talented NFL prospect shook off those concerns and said teams should know who he is by now and is confident that won't be a factor comes draft time.
"(Teams) have been getting to know me on a more personal level, and I've answered every question, anything they've wanted to hear from me – so there's nothing for me to hide. I don't think it's wrong of me to enjoy my life and have fun. But throughout this whole process, I've continued to work hard and do that thing I need to do to become a better player."
Manziel has been linked as a potential target of many teams who need a quarterback. The most logical choices should be the Houston Texans, Cleveland Browns, Oakland Raiders, Tennessee Titans and Jacksonville Jaguars, but each of those teams are also rumored to take other positional players and take their chances at selecting a quarterback in the later rounds.
He has also been linked to teams who already have franchise quarterbacks in place. The St. Louis Rams, Dallas Cowboys and even the New England Patriots have been linked to Manziel as his talent would be too hard to pass up for even those teams. If one of those teams does get the chance to select Johnny Manziel, he has already made it clear that the teams that passed him up will have to deal with him for years to come.

Man Sues Movie Theater Over Pricey Snacks
Yasssss! Finally, someone has taken a stand against getting financially raped at that concession stands of movie theaters. Joshua Thompson of Livonia, Michigan, used to smuggle his own goodies into the theater until they put up a sign prohibiting moviegoers from doing so. That's he he got fed up and filed a class action suit against his local AMC Theater for overpricing their snacks.
The lawsuit also provides some blunt price comparison, saying Thompson paid $8 for a Coke and box of Goobers chocolate-covered peanuts at the theater in December, three times what the items were being sold for at nearby stores. The Free Press notes that the lawsuit will likely be thrown out, quoting legal experts who say that because movie theaters are regulated, they are exempt from Michigan's Consumer Protection Act.
I still salute Joshua for trying to fight back!

He may have 99 others on the down-low, but she ain't one.
This is what Casey Cohen is saying about rumors she and Jay Z are romancing right underneath Beyonce's nose. The "Princesses: Long Island" reality star says the gossip being spewed by a popular celebrity magazine are far from the truth. Furthermore, her lawyers doubled-downed on the scandal about Casey and Jigga and are threatening legal action, according to a report out June 14 by Huffington Post.
The backstory begins this way: Life & Style magazine ran a story in its recent issue ( shown here) that read "Their Worst Nightmare: Pregnant and Betrayed." The two faces gracing the cover in question are Beyonce, Jay Z's wife of six years, and Khloe Kardashian. For now, the focus is on Bey.
The magazine said unnamed sources reported that Casey Cohen and Jay Z are dating secretly and they often rendezvous at least twice a month. There are reports of afterparty frolicking and other things couples having an affair do. However, Casey and her attorneys are vehemently denying any reports that the rapper is breaking his marital vows. Simply put, the Bravo star says the magazine has perpetrated "a foul and phony mistress-rumor" and she is demanding anapology in a cease and desist letter wrote TMZ.
Cohen admits contact with Jay in the past on several occasions, but it has always been in the context of the workplace; Casey works as hostesses at New York's 1Oak club.
And if this recent bombshell isn't enough; other rumors suggest Beyonce and Jay Z are expecting child No. 2. What's more, the surprise news of another pregnancy reportedly put Bey's divorce filing on hold, this according to L & S. Divorce! Who said anything about the couple heading towards splitsville?
So how does one account for the husband and wife duo's recent announcement of their "On the Run Tour?" If Bey is with child, would she commit to a grueling tour? Stranger things have happened, especially in Hollywood.
Think on this: If Jay Z and Casey Cohen are having an affair, it makes perfect sense why Solange went bonkers on her brother-in-law recently. Remember that elevator scene? But this would be too good of a story for this generation to bear. Imagine that?

WASHINGTON, D. C. - As the major league baseball community approaches the All-Star game, the National League West Division is clearly taking shape.
With the current state of affairs, the Padres and Diamondbacks will likely watch things develop as outsiders. The Giants and Dodgers appear on a collision course to take the division outcome down to the final weeks in September.
The curious team in this equation could be the Colorado Rockies.
Off to a terrific start, the Rockies were tied for first in the NL West on May 7 with a 9-2 win over the Texas Rangers. Over the next month, the Colorado went 7-22 and after a June 10, 13-10 loss to Atlanta, the Rox essentially fell off the radar screen, found themselves behind the Giants and Dodgers in NL West third place and 11 ½ game behind San Francisco.
With just over a week to the All-Star break, the Rockies find themselves in a precarious spot. That's not because of the ground to make up but to address a lengthening disabled list.
Starting with a 10-game home stand July 3 and leading up the All-Star break, the Rockies have a chance to challenge. Yet, injuries have compromised the last month. Since the start of the season, Colorado had 15 players on the DL, and currently, they have three position players, one key reliever and three starters on the DL.
"It's tougher to win without your good players," said shortstop Troy Tulowitzki, also the leading NL vote-getter for the All-Star game. "Once we get some of these guys healthy, that will give us a lift. Look, we will not quite and will not use injuries as an excuse."
Heading into the All-Star break, Colorado has third baseman Nolan Arenado (broken finger), Michael Cuddyer (60-day DL, left shoulder fracture), Carlos Gonzalez (finger inflammation) and starters Brent Anderson (fractured left index finger), Jordan Lyles (fracture of third finger on his left hand) and Jhoulys Chacin all on the DL.
Add reliable reliever Boone Logan (left shoulder inflammation) to the DL list and Colorado players currently on the shelf, it can be argued, could form the nucleus of an all-star team.
Currently, manager Walt Weiss is going with five lefties in his rotation, and admitted before playing the Nationals Monday night, "I've never been associated with a team with five left-handers as starters at the same time."
Prior to the Rox taking on Washington Monday night, Weiss sounded more like a member of the training staff than the field manager.
"No question, our pitching staff right now is being tested and that's always a challenge," he said. "A few guys could be back around the All-Star break, Anderson, for one. Arenado is close and he's back hitting off the tee. Gonzalez is also close and once these guys are able to swing the bats, the rehab will come quickly."
As far as division chances, Weiss says his team has a solid opportunity to challenge the Giants and Dodgers.
"In spring training, I said this was a tough division," Weiss pointed out. "Once we get guys back who are on the DL, we'll make a run. Look, we have a half-a-season left and there's a long way to go."
Their next big test comes about beginning Thursday night with the Dodgers. That's when L. A. pays a visit to Coors Field for four games. One possible roadblock is slated for Friday night when the Rox take on Dodgers' lefty Clayton Kershaw (9-2, 2.04 ERA), who no-hit Colorado June 18 and author one of the most dominant no-hitters in recent baseball history.
Diamondbacks' outfielder Mark Trumbo began his rehab Tuesday night with the D-backs rookie squad at Salt River.
As the designated hitter, Trumbo went 2-for-3 with a double and two RBIs.
Right-hander Touki Toussaint, the D-backs first round pick in 2014, made his professional debut Wednesday night for the rookie D-backs against the Indians' rookies at Salt River.
Elsewhere, Paul Goldschmidt has lengthening his lead over competitors to start at first base for the National League.
After the latest calculations, Goldschmidt has 2,582,955 over the Brewers' Mark Reynolds (1,430,395). That represents a lead of 1.1 million votes, and the All-Star rosters will be announced his coming Sunday, nationally, on FOX television.

The No. 12 UCLA women's tennis team picked up where it left off before its two-and-a-half week layoff for final exams and spring break, defeating conference foe Arizona 6-1 on Friday afternoon at the Los Angeles Tennis Center.
The Bruins (11-5, 2-1 Pac-10) won the doubles matches on courts one and two to gain the day's first point. Jackie Carleton and Feriel Esseghir beat Emilie Scribot and Maja Mlakar 8-6, while Sarah Gregg and Susi Wild beat Debbie Larocque and Kristy Randono 8-5. Arizona (5-8, 0-2) won on court three, where Dianne Hollands and Kelly Perry defeated Laura Gordon and Anya Loncaric, 8-5.
Wild, Gregg, Gordon, Loncaric, and Shilpa Joshi notched singles wins to help clinch the victory. Wild beat Mlakar 6-4, 6-3, while Gregg knocked off Hollands 6-4, 7-5. The Bruins swept the back three courts, with Gordon beating Larocque 6-4, 6-4, Loncaric coming from behind to defeat Perry 0-6, 6-2, 6-2, and Joshi beating Randono 6-4, 6-0.
Arizona claimed its only point on court one when 20th-ranked Scribot knocked off 23rd-ranked Carleton 6-3, 7-5.
UCLA returns to the court tomorrow to face No. 8 Arizona State (8-4, 1-1) at noon.

The relatives of Anthony Jordan, 7, and Nicholas Jordan, 8, can breathe a sigh of relief after learning that the boys were found alive and safe this morning. A five-state Amber Alert was issued by Lodi, New Jersey police Friday night after it was discovered that the boys were taken from their school by their father, John Robert Jordan, 47.
Jordan was estranged from his wife, and the children's mother, Tracey Jordan, 39. They were in the process of getting divorced. Tracey had already moved on and was dating a neighbor, Ralph Dejulia. According to Dejulia and other neighbors, Jordan had a history of domestic abuse and was known to be violent during his marriage to Tracey.
Authorities were first alerted that something was amiss by Tracey's mother. She was unable to contact Tracey by phone. Becoming alarmed, she went to the house and called for help when no one responded to her banging on the door. When police arrived and entered the house, they found Tracey dead of multiple stab wounds.
Officers then learned that earlier that day Jordan had picked up the children from school. He was able to remove the children from school by lying to the school office and telling them that he was there to pick up the boys for their dental appointment. Apparently the school officials had no reason to suspect Jordan was up to something because he was a parent of record.
New Jersey authorizes immediately issued a severe Amber alert. They learned that Jordan had family ties in Greenville, South Carolina, and issued an alert over the most likely routes which covered New Jersey, Virginia, West Virginia, North Carolina, and South Carolina.
Early this morning Jordan was arrested as he arrived at a relative's home in Greenville, South Carolina, driving his dead wife's car. The FBI and Greenville police were in place watching the home and when Jordan pulled up, they arrested him and charged him with murder and possessing a weapon for an unlawful purpose.
There was no gunfire exchanged and the boys were recovered unharmed in the car. Jordan is currently in custody in South Carolina, pending extradition to New Jersey. Authorities have released no motive yet for why Jordan stabbed his wife to death. But according to Tracey's family, her divorce from Jordan would have been finalized in just a few days.

Though i would post a picture of my new Taurus Model 66 revolver 4" 7shot 357 Magnum. Pick this one up new a few days ago, and finally got out to shoot it today. With Remington UMC ammo in 38 special, its a puppy dog to shoot. Adjustable sights seemed close enough for now for stump shooting. 357 Magnum reloads (given to me by a friend) were very manageable also.
The grips are rather slim, but comfortable. They readily absorb recoil, and are grippy. Single action is scary how light the trigger is, and even double action is very smooth for a new gun. No, its no Colt Python, but for $375, its almost half that of a comparable Smith. Fit and finish is good, not great. The cylinder is tight, trigger is good, but the matte stainless is lacking just a little.
Functionally it worked great! Primary use for this gun will be range work, but with practice, think it may be a decent Deer gun where i hunt. I usually cannot shoot more than 45 yards in my thick woods. Ran 50 rounds of 38 special and about 14 rounds of 357 Magnum... no problems... cheers:wave:

YOUNGSTOWN -- A bomb threat written on a girls restroom wall today at West Side Upper Elementary School, North Hazelwood Avenue, will lead to the arrest of one and possibly four pupils, said Ted Terlesky, city schools chief of security.
Terlesky said the source of the threat was quickly identified and the school was not evacuated. Those involved may have thought of the bomb threat as a prank, "but we don't," he said.
Those arrested will be taken to the Martin P. Joyce Juvenile Justice Center to face a charge of inducing panic, Terlesky said. The pupils also will be suspended and possibly expelled, he said.

I really don't care how long it takes to "clear", just want to know if and where it's possible. What bank will do it?

I cannot comment on a personal check, but I will relate to you my experience last month with a registered check. The check was in the amount of $200 USD and was issued by a US State treasury. When I inquired at my branch of Bangkok Bank about depositing it in my account there, I was quoted a cost of 1,000 baht for the pleasure of doing so and a wait time of about three weeks. (Thanks... but NO way!) I mailed the check, with deposit slip, to my bank in the US, signing it with for deposit ONLY. It appeared in my account about 10 days later.

Kasinkorn Bank only charged me about 320 baht for each IRS refund check. They believed my identity, but did not have any faith that the US Treasury would cash the check, so I had to wait three weeks. I will guess that a personal check is like a US Treasury check - they just forward it for clearing and wait till it clears.

I've done it about 5 times in the last year. All with Bangkok Bank and the charge was 300+ Baht. Quoted 45 days but always cleared in 21 days. These were rather large sums which made the charge minimal.

Banks? Well, there is some useful experience here, especially if you are an account holder of some standing.
Banks are understandably wary. If you are on a trip and out of cash, you do indeed have a problem.
Not that anyone has meant to impune Thai banks, but the reticence of Thai banks to honor checks without the long confirmation process is certainly no more unexpected and onerous than banks in most countries. And I can understand the extra service charge, which may vary.
If it isn't a "travel" situation, then I suggest that the easiest and cheapest way is to keep a "home base" bank and mail off the check to that bank with a deposit slip, as previously advised.
For those in a travel situation? Better call the number on the back of your credit card to confirm the need for cash. There have got to be more ATMs per capita in Thailand than in any place in the world! Or you could try Western Union (probably --- I have never had the experience and don't know any details but offices are around town, such as in Central in Kad Suan Kaew).
Or as AMEXCO probably still says (and charges probably more than 25% per annum for the privilege of cash advances), don't leave home without it!
Otherwise, I know a great guy from (is it?) Burma, Laos, or China who will give you cash bhat for your check and your wrist watch! No... actually, I have forgotten his name.

My dear old mother made the mistake of mailing me a check, payee an American bank, payable to me.
I promptly mailed it back to the US, for deposit to an account there.
Checks/drafts, etc. issued by foreign banks in foreign currencies (to Thailand) as noted above take forever to clear, and with big charges.
If you set up a special deposit account (say for regular US Social Security payments), fill out a bit of paperwork, etc.- you should not have these problems.
But trying to cash a personal check, drawn on a foreign bank, denominated in a foreign currency.....?
Look at it this way.
Say Mr. Gomez, from Rosario Argentina, walked into your local hometown branch in the UK, or wherever, with a personal check, denominated in pesos, drawn on the Banco De Rio Plato.....

Open a foreign currency account with K-Bank, and you can deposit your checks and await clearance. Depending upon the source, the funds should be available anywhere from three to seven weeks. Of course there is a charge for each check, so if the check is for less than, say, $15 USD, use it as wallpaper.... it will cost more to cash it.
The alternative is, should you be receiving regular foreign checks, set up an account in your home country so you can deposit the checks either automatically or by mail, and withdraw using an ATM in Chiang Mai.

Thanks for all the responses. I should have included a bit more information. This would be a one time shot only and approx 9,000 USD. I do have a long standing account with Bangkok Bank and will check with them.
It was good to get other opinions.

Last week we deposited the US Treasury check into our account at Bangkok Bank in Kad Suan Kaew shopping center and
did have to pay 200 baht but it was cleared IMMEDIATELY and credited to the account. This is not true for personal
checks, which can take up to 30 days but generally less than 21 days at least at Bangkok Bank.
Posted 2008-08-01 07:46:35
Glad to here that at least one bank in Thailand (which may be the only Thai bank with a branch in New York) still thinks the US Treasury honors its checks. Neither Bank of Ayuddayha or Kasinkorn has done that for 3 IRS refund checks I deposited over the years.
Posted 2008-08-01 08:42:03
The account holder's relationship with the bank can influence the way the bank handles the check, it is not the check alone.
Posted 2008-08-01 08:46:01
A Google of "thai bank in new york" indicates that there are other Thai banks with branches in New York.Glad to here that at least one bank in Thailand (which may be the only Thai bank with a branch in New York) still thinks the US Treasury honors its checks.

I have twice deposited personal checks made out to me in the amount of $6,000 at BKK Rimchoke. There is a $10 fee and the checks cleared in 30 days. No other transaction fees were charged at either end. Quite friendly staff there who also spoke English. Their one comment was that they will only do this if you have been a "long time" account holder.
Posted 2008-08-01 22:38:04
There was one sidelight to depositing our US Treasury check. It was made out to my wife and I
and since we each have separate accounts at Bangkok Bank we were told we would need to open a joint account
to deposit the check. I replied that was fine but as soon as the check would be credited to the joint account
we would withdraw the funds and close the account. At that point it was "decided" that it didn't need to go
into a Joint account after all. Surely the bank staff gets credit for all new accounts but not if they close out
Posted 2008-08-02 00:37:06
I am going back to the initial query here.
Why is it that so many people who post here don't bother to do any homework --- don't even use the "search function" (which is indeed more than a bit awkward), or --- in this case --- just visit a bank or two, for pete's sake, to get some information! Why would they blindly seek even fundamental advice from a public bulletin board of all places? [Hey, let me tell you about a deal....!].
In this case, why not just chat with a couple of bank managers!!! Over a period of time, sure, you get to know a few people on thaivisa locally and you come to listen to what some people say (and there has been some very decent advice on this thread). Never mind "Cruising in Chiang Mai" unless you are seriously concerned about (and perhaps not able to) navigate the notorious step at Spicey's! You really want to listen to the next guy you meet that walks down the cyber alley!!! Oy!
P.S. By the way, many of the regulars here are quite nice folks who will give you a very straight-forward (in their view) answer that might or might not be helpful depending upon the number of glasses of red wine consumed and other more serious factors. Caution! Some have been known to yank more than a few chains, and a few are very clever at it.
P.P.S. There is one very suspicious thread at present! Find it! And it isn't about kitties.

Yeh, it is like they have some kind of paper allergy so they can not touch a book or map, others can not seem to speak or listen let alone read, and so few bother with Thai language or culture. Hasn't it gotten a lot worse in the last year or two? Are they are some new category of handicapped that warrants special treatment?
Posted 2008-08-02 06:13:04
A cheque (check) is a piece of paper. It has no validity at all until it reaches the institution that issued it and they agree to honour it.
Posted 2008-08-02 08:11:01
Okay MAPGUY, I somewhat agree with you. However, how long have you been in Thailand or are you even IN Thailand?
You know, when some people ask for advice, they do a search, however, the comments are OLD.
You should know, this is Thailand, and things CHANGE on a DAILY basis, so I wanted any up to date information.
Posted 2008-08-02 09:36:50
Exactly, things change fast in Thailand, so the only way you are going to find out if you can cash your check is go to the bank and ask. Also if you are in Thailand, you should know that the service given to people is not equal so any answer you get here may not apply to you. Given those well known facts, your question can not be answered on a forum. But since you state that you are not concerned about how long it will take to clear the check, I will make an exception to the rules to solve your problem and I will cash it for you.

College Hockey:Hofmann's Goal Caps Five-Goal Comeback For St. Mary's
Cardinals Top Wis.-Eau Claire in Penalty-Filled Game
WINONA, Minn. — Lenny Hofmann scored with 1:44 remaining in the third period to cap a five-goal rally as St. Mary's beat Wisconsin-Eau Claire 7-6 Friday evening at the SMU Ice Arena in a non-conference game marred by 62 minutes in penalties.
UW-Eau Claire scored six of the game's first eight goals — including three on just four shots in the second period — to grab what appeared to be a commanding 6-2 advantage midway through the second period. But the Cardinals responded to the challenge, scoring a pair of power-play goals in the second period — the second by Matt Hangge with one second remaining — to cut the Eau Claire lead to 6-4.
Todd Hangge made it a 6-5 game with his second goal of the game four minutes into the third period, before brother Matt and Hofmann completed the comeback with back-to-back goals less than 29 seconds apart late in the period.
Ryan Stinson and Colin Emans also scored for the Cardinals, who snapped a two-game losing streak with the win.
Twenty-seven penalties were called in the game, with SMU (7-4-1) converting on five of its 12 power-play opportunities, while UW-Eau Claire (7-6-0) was 0-for-2.

Artists of Ballet West, photo by Luke Isley.
As Valentine's Day quickly approaches, we could all use a reminder that love can conquer all . . . or really just a good fairy tale.
Whether you have plans with girlfriends or your significant other, Ballet West's "The Sleeping Beauty" is sure to make you believe.
It's a classic tale of good vs. evil. When the Fairy of Jealousy curses the newly-born Princess Aurora, the good Fairy of Wisdom quickly devises a plan to repel the curse. Upon turning sixteen Princess Aurora is fated to sleep for a hundred years until she is awakened by her true love's kiss. The journey to awaken the princess proves perilous for the prince as he encounters darkness, storms, and fog but (spoiler alert) love triumphs in the end.
Artists of Ballet West; photo by Luke Isley
Although Princess Aurora's wedding dress might not do the psychedelic color change Disney unrealistically planted in our heads, the wedding promises to be filled with beloved guests. Think Puss in Boots, Beauty and the Beast, Little Red Riding Hood and others.
Ballet West Principal Artists Christiana Bennett and Christopher Ruud. Photo by Luke Isley.
So plan on joining Ballet West in their 50th Anniversary season presentation of "The Sleeping Beauty." To hear all the juicy backstage secrets, you can arrive an hour early to ask questions about the music, choreography and performers. Don't be surprised if you find yourself pirouetting and chassé-ing out of the theater.
Tickets are on sale, so get yours before the Fairy of Jealousy does.

Swoosh Away! - A free wordpress theme
As you might know, today is my Birthday. Yes I turn 21 today and I am proud to present the 'Swoosh Away' theme for WordPress. This is the first theme that I have made for people to download and it is free.
You can view a live demo at http://themes.angadsodhi.com
You can download the file from here.
Here's a screenshot of the theme:
Creating this theme from scratch was fun. I have a few people to thank whose posts were very useful:

The most difficult part was naming the theme! With thousands of WP themes already available, it has become so difficult naming them. I'll be grateful if you can suggest me a better name.
Please let me know how you like the theme. Even if you don't end up downloading the theme, please do let me know what you think about it. Comments and suggestions are always welcome! I'm coming back from a long layoff so please help me spread the word. Digg it or tweet it if you like it.
Psst: I plan to make many more themes before my next semester starts. If you like this theme, please subscribe to this blog. Expect a much better premium theme in the weeks to come!

Thanks for the mention.
Did you realise that WordPress 2.7 has its own threaded comments? To be truly "2.7 ready" it would be much better to use those rather than a plugin.
Nice work there..
Happy Belated Bday. The wordpress plugin looks great.
This might have a simple answer to it, but I know there are themes that WordPress gives you to choose from for free. Is there any way that I could change the theme to one I found on a website without buying extra features?
Ideally I want to download a free theme that is suitable for a client, remove the links to the original author, edit the theme and then sell it on. But I don't know if the themes on the wordpress website.
Ozone — If you are using WordPress.com you cannot edit the themes without paying. If you are using WordPress dowloaded from WordPress.org on your own server then you can upload any theme you like.
Nice theme…i like it!!!
Looks like an interesting theme. I will give it a try on my wordpress blog. Works with 2.8?
I wish I was turning 21, hehe, Happy Belated Birthday by the way! I turn 23 next month, hehe. You really did a great job with the theme =D I like the design of it, everything comes out look very soft and easy to read for the reader.
Till then,
A very simple but beautiful theme. test the theme with firefox 3.0.12 no problem here.
A great looking wordpress theme. Nice work.
Looks like a really great theme, thanks for taking the time to make it and sharing it with us guys!
This theme looks great. I especially like the widget ready feature. I like lots of widgets.
First of all congrats on your birthday. You took time to name the theme… but the final result is awesome swoosh is a nice name. And you are providing it for free that's another great news. Thanks for it.
Man that is on sweet theme. Nice work on it…
I hope you had a nice birthday.
This is a nice theme. I like the swoosh but I was wondering how to sell that highlight to a client?
Maybe as a path metaphor for a consulting group?
simply best!! specially the header menu
Even I like the header a lot!
Why not name your theme after yourself or create a "callsign" that you always use for the themes and other content you develop. If you plan ahead now and stick with the same naming scheme you will have greater name recognition down the road.
the theme is wonderful.
thanks for sharing. Nice theme

private tags
I like the possibility of having private and public bookmarks.
But one think I really lack is that some tags are private.
example: I have a tag to-do which I apply to some stuff, but I'd like to keep the tag private and the post public.
I want to share the post, but not that it is on my to-do list.
Same thing as is done for sticky notes.

Suggested here and marked as "under review": "Private Tags: Bookmarks tagged with them are automatically marked as private"
Please vote and comment this link, to show we want it.
Fuzbolero . commented
Yes, this would be a very useful feature.
A way to select some tags for "global exclusion" (across all lists, groups and library, and also a "per-list"/"per-group"/"library-only" setting. There are two main use cases, as I see it:
a) have a customiseable list of tags that will automatically be hidden from view(s), but still include the bookmarks they are used on in the list(s), tag cloud(s), rss feed(s), etc., and
b) have a customiseable list of tags that when used, they will not only be hidden, but the associated bookmarks will actually not appear in lists at all. (which can be seen as an "advanced private setting", a flexible way of setting private bookmarks in a more dynamic way)
PS. The OWNER must be able to see those tags and their bookmarks, they should only be hidden for others (members of groups, lists, or public).
This will also make it possible to tidy among bookmarks in more practical ways, by tagging a bunch of existing ones with a specific term which then in effect will immediately hide them from such lists, and let us handle them specifically (and list those later - and only those), etc.
The more we use this service, the more often we need flexible tools to help us tidy and group things. This kind of feature will help tremendously in several respects.
Lauren Matheson commented
I support this idea. Disagree with S Hein, it would be helpful to have bookmarks that are public, but with additional private tags for personal use.
Niina Kesämaa commented
I support this one! I use some tags to list gift ideas for different people - I don't mind the bookmarks being public but I would like the tags to be private.
S Hein commented
I'd like this, but I'd want it to act so if you made a tag private, all the bookmarks you had under the tag would be private as well. Instead of having to go one by one and make each bookmark private

TC TO RICHARD HENRY HORNE ; 26 February 1838; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18380226-TC-RHH-01; CL 10: 32-33
5. Cheyne Row, Chelsea, / 26th Feby, 1838.
Thanks, dear Sir, for your present of Delora,1 which I am glad to possess in a separate revised shape. I well remember reading it in the Monthly Repository with attention and glad surprise; and saying to myself, Here is a man with hot fierce matter in him; may the gods grant him strength and patience to work it into pure metal, and cast it into a shape that shall be perennial!
I believe, those bitter experiences you allude to are more or less, especially in these times, the lot of all men whatsoever that have any true talent to get unfolded. They are hard to bear; but useful, nay perhaps merciful and indispensable. The infernal pride that is in all of us needs to be tamed into a celestial, into a silent, patient, blessed one,—like what Christian people call humility, the beginning of all good, as I take it, in Art and elsewhere for us Sons of Adam. Let us consider it as schooling; let us learn our lesson! For a true man, to whom his talent is the great and sacred object, not the mere reputation of his talent, there can ultimately be no evil in these things. For such a man, considering what Criticism is in our time, Criticism can perhaps do nothing so kind as misconstrue him, abuse him, neglect him. Let her treat him, in short, according to her own sweet will. For one such man whom she has succeeded in finally suppressing, or even putting down under his due place, she has blown up hundreds into a windy triviality, pretension, futility, which one supposes to be the completest wretchedness appointed for man. Forward, therefore, and fear nothing! The ways will be smooth or be rough; but the step being stout the progress is not doubtful. A German friend of mine, whom I like much, has written down the following motto in rugged hexameters:
As journeys this Earth, her eye on a Sun, thro' the heavenly spaces; And radiant in azure, or sunless swallowed in tempests, Falters not, alters not; journeying equal, sunlit or stormgirt: So thou Man of Earth2———
I heartily bid you good-speed; and, were it after never such toiling, a happy issue.3
Believe me always, / truly yours
T. Carlyle—

Looks like your game isn't finding any of the textures you've specified. To be honest, the tutorial you're looking at is fairly poorly written. Try this one. I tried to write it so anybody who knows how to make a skin can use it.
same look in game. :( i dont know what im doing wrong. someone ?
We can't possibly tell you with any level of certainty because you haven't really given us any info to work with other than "here's how it looks WAT I DO WRONG?" The more information you can supply us with the more easily we can help you.
Thank you for the tutorial, that's going to help me a lot :D

Dec. 17, 2012
PARK RIDGE, Ill. -- University of Iowa guard Mike Gesell was named Big Ten Men's Basketball Freshman of the Week. The announcement was made today by the Big Ten Conference office.
The honor is the first of Gesell's career and the first for a Hawkeye since Aaron White earned the weekly accolade on Feb. 6, 2012.
Gesell (6-1, 185) posted personal bests in scoring (23), 3-pointers made (4), and free throws made (7) and attempted (9) in Iowa's 80-73 victory over Northern Iowa on Saturday at Wells Fargo Arena in Des Moines. Gesell shot 66.7 percent from the floor (6-of-9), including 66.7 percent from 3-point range (4-of-6). He also added two rebounds and two assists in 28 minutes of action.
The freshman helped Iowa win its season-best fourth-straight game and improve to 9-2, its best start to a season since 2008-09.
Iowa returns to action Wednesday when it hosts South Carolina State. Tip-off is scheduled for 8:06 p.m. on Mediacom Court at Carver-Hawkeye Arena.

Continued from previous page
With the cover of Bartered Bride (to the left) for the Fanfare imprint, Franco returns to a fully idealized romantic setting. This time he has used a balcony to position the lovers and garbed them beautifully. This is a far more neutral color scheme than Franco's usual color palette choices, but is very effective nonetheless. I would like to see the characters in a bit more of a closeup view but I know that the publishers like these idealized settings. The image would lose a percentage of that setting if the characters were enlarged. Many readers have already told me how much they like this cover. Notice the subtle use of flowers again. It is a very soft, delicate balance to all of that stone and the pink color goes well with the grays and purples of the image. The pink helps pull your eye to the purple dress and the hero's purple sleeves.
Franco uses another mood-evoking, object-oriented cover for Escapade (on the right), published by Warner. This cover uses blue-purple and yellow, two colors which are complements (opposites on the color wheel). Because of the high contrast between complementary colors, they are easy for the eye to fix upon. Here we have a beautiful textile, a brocade, taking up the entire background in the cover while placing the author's name and the gas lantern in the foreground as the only other imagery. If the cloth were not there, this image could be very dull. It is the texture and design of the textile which give richness and completeness to the image.
Strathmere's Bride is a cover for Harlequin and very different from Franco's usual covers using people. These Harlequin covers all have a certain look and feel to them which it must want every cover artist to emulate. Within those confines though, it is a clever cover. The image should turn in your hand, once it is on the book, so you can follow the stone wall to the couple.
The colors are very soft and pleasing, pastels mostly, rather than Franco's more usual, vibrant look. This is a color palette which Harlequin Historicals seems to favor when I look at the other books with that imprint on my bookshelves.
For Zebra, Franco produced the cover to the right, Beneath a Blood Red Moon, with various reds dominating the color scheme. The black and white work very well with reds and that combination is recognized as a classic in color design. While many readers don't like women in a subordinate position to the male on their covers, this one didn't bother me. The hero does not look domineering and arrogant, which is often the case in such covers. This one seems to be set in a cemetary, which is a very unusual setting in a romance novel, but the title has already evoked a sense of death along with hot passion. The cover is almost operatic in mood.
Now we come full circle with Franco's romance covers. I first discovered Franco at Borders on the "new" table with Elizabeth Thornton's You Only Love Twice, as shown in my March column, published by Bantam. One look at that cover and I had to have it - this was long before I had begun to write this column.
I found Franco there again, with another Thornton book, while writing this column. I'd read an iffy review of the novel, and thus wasn't keen on buying it. However, as I stood there, looking at Strangers at Dawn, I couldn't help my hand creeping out and opening the cut out front to the stepback and, of course, loving all of the scenes it evoked, including the scene in the courtroom which appealed to my lawyer side. Somehow I found myself at the register not long after, book in hand, buying it. I didn't even bother giving myself the usual sales pitch about how good the book really must be. I felt I was fated to own that book. I'm reading it now and enjoying it, so Franco didn't mislead me!

Rounding out the draft
Posted by David Kennedy
Miami picked up Rodrigue Wright (DT, Texas), Fred Evans (DT, Texas State), and Devin Aromashodu (WR, Auburn). I admit that I had only ever heard of Rodrigue Wright, but as I recall he was quite the stud as the year rolled along. I heard his name called more than once during the championship run last year.
1 comments:
Great site, Bitchin' Dave! It's a pleasure to be here. Thanks for having me.
Regarding the draft picks, write this down:
Barring catastrophic injury (a la Dwight Stephenson) or life incarceration (see Cecil "the Diesel" Collins), the Evans kid from SW Bum-phuck Texas State A&M will prove to be the best pick of this year's crop... a potential HOFer.

Matt Vautour of the Daily Hampshire Gazette has a men's basketball notebook that hits on several topics.
Headlining the notebook is news on freshman Cady Lalanne undergoing a procedure to correct a stress fracture in his foot that could keep the big man out until official practices begin in four weeks. The Minutemen will be holding free clinics at the Big E on Saturday. They will take place in front of the Massachusetts Building with the first running from 10:30-11:30 a.m. and the second from 2-3 p.m. The clinics are for kids 12 and under and are free with Big E admission.
A crew from the ABC show "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition" was on campus on Tuesday and filmed part of a national ad campaign against bullying with both the men's basketball and women's lacrosse teams for an episode being filmed in Springfield.

Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker appears to gain momentum on his promise to reduce the State's fiscal budget. But whether his shell game for shuffling the state's debt will spare local taxpayers remains to be seen.
Governor Walker's 2011-2013 biennium budget proposal suggests crippling caveats that curb state funds by $96 million in aids for counties, cities, villages and towns. Transportation aids top off at $43 million with a 3 percent cut and recycling grants of $32 million will be eliminated.
According to a March 15 memorandum from Senator Mary Lazich, "The governor's budget for 2011-13 reduces the state's structural deficit by 90 percent. Much of the reductions are aid to local government."
Governor Walker hopes to plug the $137 million hole for this fiscal year and curb the anticipated $3.7 billion deficit for the next biennium. The partial paring of state aids may don a new look in the form of local government referendums or municipal loans, but taxpayers will inevitably pick up the slack "from the reduction of aids to local government" or scale services down to an affordable level.
The March 15 Wheeler Report points to the essential state aids such as shared revenues and how they have been distributed to local governments in the past and how Governor Walker's budget bill will change it.
The more aids that are reduced to support local government services, the higher the local levy must be to compensate for the loss. However, Walker's bill freezes this year's local government levy to last year's amount. In theory, less aid and no levy increase means less spending.
One town official laments that Wisconsin has gotten itself into a financial mess over the years and with one fell swoop the Governor wants to balance its books on the backs of local governments:
"Our town stands to lose about $85,000 in state aids next year," says Town of East Troy Chairman Joe Klarkowski. "The state's spending fiascos have eroded our lifeline by cutting back the resources that our taxpayers pay into, and then the state says that the levy will freeze at last year's rate. Then they say we can borrow money if we have a shortfall. How are we supposed to pay the loans back with no state aids and no levy increases?"
For the moment, Walker draws public scrutiny to what seems like a left jab to the jaw of public employees, loosening teeth for collective bargaining and jarring morale into a desperate scramble for life support through recalls of elected officials and court injunctions.
Is there a sucker punch for Wisconsin taxpayers laden in Assembly Bill 40 and Senate Bill 27?

A rabbit's digestive system is a delicately balanced system. Disruptions to the motility (movement through the GI tract) or bacterial balance throughout the system could cause the GI tract (gastrointestinal tract) to slow down and eventually stop - a fatal situation for rabbits called GI Stasis.
Rabbits are classified as strict herbivores. This means they get all their energy comes from eating plants. Indigestible fiber particles help stimulate the system but are eliminated quickly. Then their system begins to break down the digestible food to extract the nutrients for use by the body.
The stomach massages, sterilizes and breaks down the digestible food to smaller particles that will continue through the system. After it leaves the stomach, it enters the small intestine. The small intestines job is to begin extracting nutrients and add more water to create fluid matter. The matter then flows into the cecum. The cecum is a sac that contains a specific and delicate balance of yeast, micro organisms and bacteria that further break down the food content. Some of the nutrients are absorbed directly through the walls of the cecum, some are eliminated through the large intestine, then out the anus as cecotropes, and the indigestible portions are eliminated as waste.
To keep the digestive system running properly, rabbits need appropriate amounts of fluid, digestible and indigestible fiber, and exercise. We will continue with other common causes that slow the GI tract and cause GI Stasis in the next article.
