Protesters rallying near CMPO centre disperse peacefully
At about 3.20pm Friday, People's Democratic Reform Committee protesters rallying at the Royal Thai Police Club dispersed. The rally site was near the Narcotics Suppression Bureau (NSB), currently being used by the Centre for Maintaining Peace and Order (CMPO).
The protesters, led by Sakoltee Phattiyakul, Chumphon Junsai, Buddhipongse Punnakanta and Nataphol Teepsuwa, had gathered at about 11.40am yesterday to demand that caretaker Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra and Labour Minister Chalerm Yoobamrung, who oversees CMPO, meet them to take responsibility for the crackdown on Tuesday at Phan Fah Lilat Bridge. As many as five people were killed and 69 injured in the crackdown.

An insurance premium is the money charged by insurance companies for coverage. Insurance premiums for services differ from company to company, so it is advisable that individuals shop around for insurance premiums. However, it is important to note that, sometimes, insurance premiums quoted are slightly different from the premiums charged. The difference between the quote and the actual charge can be attributed to the way the insurance premium is calculated. The amount of insurance premiums charged by the insurance companies is determined by statistics and mathematical calculations done by the underwriting department of the insurance company.
The level of insurance premium charged to a customer depends on statistical data that exists about life history, age and health. For example, an 18-year-old man who drives a red sports car is more likely to pay a higher insurance premium than a 50-year-old man who drives a four-door sedan. Every customer that applies for insurance goes through the underwriting process. The underwriting process involves investigation into familial diseases, analysis of reports like medical information bureau and motor vehicle reports. After the information is gathered and analyzed, they are typically analyzed by a statistician, called actuaries, hired by the insurance companies. After analyzing the data, the actuary tries to predict how likely the insurance applicant will make a claim on their policy. The higher the probability of a claim, the higher the premiums usually are.
The actuaries are also responsible for studying mathematical data and compiling "mortality and sickness" tables, which are used to predict prospective losses due to death and sicknesses. The mortality and sickness tables are basically tables that assign probability to gender and ages about the likelihood to get sick or die. The actuaries use these tables to develop models that determine how likely it is for a particular individual to get sick or die at a particular time, based on the data gathered for that individual. Based on the results of the analysis of data and the information generated from the mortality and sickness tables, a premium is assigned or charges to the client.

I just don't get how you can get their clothes and dipe off in time once they cue you?
would love to ec but...
Praise God for my beautiful baby boy born 6/7/09!
Comments (7)
Around the house, I had DD in a cloth fitted diaper with a t-shirt (no onesie). That worked really well for us. Just rip off the diaper and hold her over the potty. When she got a little older, usually she was able to cue and wait until I was ready with the potty.
~C, married 12 years to D
Piano playing mama of three great kids- two violinists and my intact little guy
in the beginning, just a easy-off diaper is best. Once he gets that you are listening to his cues, he'll start to hold it- even this young!
if I was playing on the floor with DD when we first started at 4 months old, Iw ould just leave her naked and have the potty nearby.
Courtney baby blog
CLC, GS x 1 & crunchy mama to Ariana 8.31.08 Questioning Circumcision?
you could just lay a PF in a cover with velcro closure (like thirsties or some of the WAHM ones) and it would work just like the fitted diaper PP mentioned but you would have the added security of a waterproof layer if you are nervous about that (I know I was at first and kinda still am).
12/08 7/10 2/13
And even just talk to your baby and let him know that you are taking him to the potty. I started with my DD at 3 months old and she peed in the potty the first time I took her. I had just read an article about EC and wanted to try it so I took her wet diaper off and held her over the toilet and she went right away. She is now 9 months and sometimes cues me, sometimes not, but we have at least one catch a day. Sometimes several, and she almost always poops in the toilet.
There have been times when I tell her I am taking her to the potty or that we are not quite home (in the car) but almost there if she can hold it, and she has waited to get to the bathroom. (Again, doesn't work ALL the time, but I am confident that she can understand me and sometimes she just can't wait.)
Once your LO figures out that s/he wants to use the potty, you usually have enough time. We don't run to the potty or rip off her clothes. Nora fusses and then we take her. I would be very stressed if we became frantic for a potty experience. Also, Nora has to wait for our senior citizen nanny to slowly make her way up the stairs so she's pretty good at holding it.
We keep her in a cloth diaper, pants and a shirt, or a dress and babylegs.
Most of the time, she cues us with plenty of time.
It's so much fun! There's nothing cuter than a chubby baby sitting on a little potty.

Nora 3/26/09 & Hazel 7/30/11
Babies can hold it a bit. Then they start telling you, which means they know to hold it until you get them there.
We are in a three-story house, and there's a little potty on each floor, so we never have to go far.
He is in cloth diapers, but I am a new mom so I haven't quite mastered baby clothes yet! I think I will try all of your suggestions, especially since every time I put him in a sitting position, he poops! In his diaper for now--hopefully soon in the potty! Thanks!
Praise God for my beautiful baby boy born 6/7/09!

5 takeaways from Bills HC Rex Ryan (9/29/16) [1:32 AM]
WKBW-TV reports: 'No news is good news regarding Sammy Watkins.'
Zach Brown holding it down in Buffalo's defense [1:31 AM]
BuffaloBills.com reports: '"He's obviously doing a fantastic job playing," Ryan said. "I think this is the best he's ever played. So we're certainly pleased with him."'
Ryan pokes at Belichick, a sign of his admiration [11:44 AM]
Olean Times Herald reports: '"My admiration is really for Belichick more than anything because as a coach that's the guy ... he'll go down probably as the best in the history of the game," Ryan said. "I like poking fun at him, but there's no coach I respect more than him."'
Thursday's New England Coverage [6:41 AM]
TwoBillsDrive.com reports: Click here
Bills preparing for the unknown ... or are they? [1:59 AM]
Buffalo News reports: '"They're no dummies," Ryan said. "They're leaving it out there. I get it. They're certainly not going to do us any favors."'
Cordy Glenn returns to practice, but his backup, Cyrus Kouandjio, now out [1:58 AM]
Buffalo News reports: 'Ryan said he's "hopeful" Glenn will be ready for Sunday's game at New England. But if neither Glenn nor Kouandjio is healthy enough to play, that could leave significant snaps for new tackle Michael Ola, whom the Bills signed Wednesday off the Giants' practice squad.'
It's always one at a time for Pats' mastermind [1:57 AM]
Buffalo News reports: 'But who's to question him, considering his remarkable run of success over the last 16-plus seasons in New England? Belichick is 190-69 with the Pats in the regular season. In the Pats' 27-0 win over Houston, he tied Curly Lambeau for fourth all-time among coaches, with 226 victories.'
Rex Ryan in a jocular mood at his weekly presser [1:56 AM]
Buffalo News reports: '"Well, I'm going to do whatever the coaches ask me to do," Edelman said. "So if they ask me to go out and give a glass of water to someone on the sideline, I'm going to do that with a smile on my face if it helps our team win. So you can ask Coach that one."'
Rex Ryan, Tyrod Taylor and LeSean McCoy from Wednesday's press conferences [1:55 AM]
Buffalo News reports: 'Well I think you need to step up and stop the run against him, he's one of the league leaders I think now running the football. Seems like they're committed to running the ball more than they have in the past so obviously we have to do a good job stopping him.'
Rex Ryan perfectly happy not to be facing Tom Brady [1:54 AM]
Rochester D&C reports: '"It's definitely different, but we've got film on all those guys so we can watch and see the different things they do," said linebacker Preston Brown. "With the two quarterbacks, they definitely move them outside the pocket, things they wouldn't do with Brady. And with Edelman, we'll watch some Kent State highlights to see if he can throw the ball 30 yards."'
Jimmy Garoppolo is 'like a broke man's Tom Brady' says Buffalo Bills cornerback [1:53 AM]
Syracuse Post Standard reports: 'In his two starts, Garoppolo has completed 42-of-59 passes (71.2 percen) for 496 yards and four touchdowns.'
Rex Ryan: Bill Belichick's style works a 'hell of a lot better' than mine [1:52 AM]
Syracuse Post Standard reports: 'Some guys try to copy that style, they're phonies. Belichick does it, that's who he is. Popovich is probably the closest thing in the NBA. Those guys are classic, but that's who they are. They're fantastic, and I think the record speaks for itself. You talk about a consistent guy, Belichick is the most consistent guy there is. I try to be consistent albeit in a way different way."'
Bills coach Rex Ryan reacts to Tim Tebow hitting his first professional home run [1:51 AM]
Syracuse Post Standard reports: '"That's great for him," Ryan said. "It really is. That's good. He's a good kid. I really liked him. It's funny, we used to talk baseball all the time. As you know, I was a great baseball player. Nah, just kidding. But I do love baseball. He played on a team that won the state championship and I think he had two first-round picks on his team.'
Rex Ryan pretends to be Walt Patulski on Julian Edelman conference call [1:50 AM]
Syracuse Post Standard reports: 'Patulski was the Bills' No. 1 overall pick in the 1972 draft. Before that he starred at Notre Dame and was a standout at Christian Brothers Academy in Syracuse. Edelman didn't pick up on the joke immediately.'
Bill Belichick impressed by Buffalo's win over Arizona [1:49 AM]
Boston Globe reports: '"He has a lot of extended plays in the passing game where he buys extra time and then hits receivers downfield, usually for big chunks of yardage," said Belichick.'
Rex Ryan crashes Julian Edelman's conference call [1:48 AM]
Boston Globe reports: '"Well, I'm going to do whatever the coaches ask me to do," he said, "so if they ask me to go out and give a glass of water to someone on the sideline, I'm going to do that with a smile on my face to help our team win, so . . . you'll have to ask coach that one."'
Patriots prepping to tackle dangerous Bills running game [1:47 AM]
Boston Herald reports: '"That running back, McCoy, is elite," Pats defensive end Chris Long said. "He can run the ball inside, he can get the edge. Their offensive line is a very cohesive unit and Tyrod can hurt you all over the field. So as a defensive lineman there's a lot that you've got to consider."'
Rex Ryan has tense exchange with reporter who challenged statement that he is an 'above-average [1:46 AM]
Springfield Republican reports: 'Yeah, well, I don't know. I guess that's the way it is. You guys would know better than me.'
Rex Ryan jokes, but will the Buffalo Bills actually prepare for Julian Edelman to play quarterback? [1:45 AM]
Springfield Republican reports: '"Well," every week you prepare for guys coming in there," Ryan said Wednesday. "There are a lot of direct snaps in the league and there's different things like that, so you can treat it that way. And he was a college quarterback, so it's not that unusual. He did play college quarterback. You're going to prepare, but you're not going to spend your whole practice time on a 'What if?' But each week you have to be prepared for that."'
Rex Ryan says Buffalo Bills 'didn't want to' lose WR Chris Hogan to New England Patri [1:44 AM]
Springfield Republican reports: '"It was definitely tough to lose him," Ryan said. "We didn't want to. The thing about Chris — he is a tough guy, he is a good receiver and things. But the thing that also impressed me was this guy — he did everything that was asked of him from being a special teams player and obviously being a wide out, being in the slot, being outside.'
Rex Ryan jumps in on Julian Edelman's conference call to ask if he's playing QB this week [1:43 AM]
Springfield Republican reports: 'Ryan's "Walt Patulski" alias comes from the former NFL defensive end who played at Notre Dame and went to the Bills at the No. 1 overall pick in 1972. He played four seasons in Buffalo before ending his career with the St. Louis Cardinals in 1977.'
Bill Belichick is 'not really in tune' with Rex Ryan's press conference antics [1:42 AM]
Springfield Republican reports: '"I'm just focused on getting ready for the Bills," Belichick said. "I hadn't really — I'm not really in tune to all of that. I'm sure it's important to you guys, but it's not really anything I spend much time with."'
After asking Edelman, Rex Ryan plans to ask Belichick who will be the Patriots quarterback Sunday [1:41 AM]
Providence Journal reports: 'As it turns out, Ryan also told the Buffalo media he plans to ask Belichick who will play quarterback when the Patriots meet the Bills this Sunday.'
New formations help Bills' LeSean McCoy find his footing [1:40 AM]
AP reports: '"It's a huge confidence boost," guard Richie Incognito said. "That's our brand of football. That's what we're built for. That's all what we've all been brought in to do."'
Rex Ryan, ace reporter? Asks Pats' Edelman if he'll play QB [1:39 AM]
AP reports: 'It's unclear whether Edelman was aware it was Ryan.'
Bills sign tackle Michael Ola off Giants practice squad [1:38 AM]
AP reports: 'Listed at 6-foot-5 and 312 pounds, Ola has 19 starts in 23 career NFL games split between Chicago, Detroit and San Diego over the past two seasons. He was cut by the Lions before the start of this season and signed by the Giants last week.'
Ryan, Bills throw jabs, but Patriots have ruled AFC rivals [1:37 AM]
The Sports Xchange reports: 'And asked on a conference call with the Buffalo media what he thinks of Ryan's antics regarding him, Belichick said, "We're really focused on Buffalo's football team and their coaching staff and what we're going to have to play against and prepare for on Sunday."'
Bills are just glad it won't be Brady at QB [1:36 AM]
The Sports Xchange reports: '"You've got the best quarterback in history, and these guys are good, but I don't know if they'll rank quite up there with Tom Brady," coach Rex Ryan said Wednesday of Brady, who is the final week of his four-game suspension stemming from the Deflategate scandal.'
Week 4 GameScout: Bills atPatriots [1:35 AM]
The Sports Xchange reports: 'Patriots, 23-21.'
Rex Ryan asks Julian Edelman if he'll play QB for Patriots [1:34 AM]
ESPN reports: '"I'm gonna do whatever the coaches ask me to do," Edelman said, "so if they ask me to go out and get a glass a water to someone on the sideline, I'm gonna do that with a smile on my face if it helps our team win. So you can ask Coach that one."'

Susan Couch received her $300,000 settlement from Corrections just days before the 11th anniversary of the Mt Wellington-Panmure RSA massacre. She reveals her painful battle for justice.
Susan Couch has rightfully felt plenty of anger during the 11 years since William Bell's rampage.
Bell murdered Mt Wellington- Panmure RSA president William Absolum, 63, member Wayne Johnson, 56, and cleaner Mary Hobson, 44, during his botched armed robbery on December 8, 2001.
He also left Couch - at the time a young single mother - for dead with massive head and internal injuries. Ambulance officers who rushed her to hospital feared she had little chance of survival.
Her feelings towards Bell - serving a minimum non-parole sentence of 30 years - are such that she "felt sick to my stomach" upon hearing the triple killer was treated at Auckland Hospital in late 2007 after a fight in Paremoremo Prison's D Block.
There has been plenty of anger directed towards a succession of government departments that she and her support team claimed have hindered her progress and quality of life.
Couch is also angry she was even at the RSA working as a part-time clerk on the day of Bell's infamous rampage. She took the job only after safety fears over another part- time position she had been offered.
"The ironic thing is that I had turned down a job at the TAB because I didn't think it would be safe," said Couch, talking prior to last week's settlement.
"This [the RSA job] was a weekend morning job, so it was well- suited and I could get childcare."
Bell left Couch both physically crippled and financially shattered.
Her employment status at the time severely limited what financial aid she was eligible for.
About eight months before Bell's rampage, Couch had resigned from a fulltime job to care for her son, Jackson, then two.
She got the part-time accounting job at the Mt Wellington-Panmure RSA, and received the domestic purposes benefit.
But being on the DPB meant she was not eligible for future restitution of lost earnings.
She has been further hindered by the fact that at the time of the robbery, the lump-sum ACC compensation scheme wasn't in action.
"My problem with the government departments is that I was a beneficiary when it happened," Couch said.
"I was on the DPB and doing a part-time job. But it was only temporary . . . I would have had a fulltime job again."
Unable to work because of the massive injuries Bell inflicted on her, for the past 11 years Couch has had to makes ends meet on a sickness benefit.
One of her leading advocates, Sensible Sentencing Trust spokesman Garth McVicar, has consistently said the treatment of Couch by a succession of government departments was an indictment on the nation.
"We say we are a caring, compassionate country," McVicar said. "But we aren't - we aren't at all when it comes to our victims. She's destitute . . . all the systems that were supposed to look after her have been a disaster."
Her lawyer Brian Henry - who in the mid-2000s took on her case at no cost - said Couch's predicament was a "compelling case" for changes to the country's compensation structure.
Bell's horrific offending occurred after he had been paroled for serving two-thirds of a five-year jail sentence for a 1997 aggravated robbery.
He had more than 100 convictions, including for many alcohol- related offences.
On the morning of December 8, 2001, armed with a shotgun and wearing a stolen New Zealand Police shirt, he entered the Mt Wellington-RSA with murderous intent.
As well as killing Absolum, Johnson and Hobson, Bell unleashed a horrific beating on Couch, who suffered a broken skull, major brain damage and broken arms.
Medical experts estimated she lost up to 80 per cent of her blood following the bashing. Her lips had turned blue due to blood loss while she was being rushed to hospital, where she remained in a coma for several weeks.
Subsequent reviews were highly critical of how Corrections' Probation Service had monitored Bell upon his release.
That included the actions of the inexperienced probation officer handling his case after he was able to get a job at the RSA - which exposed him to alcohol and money - despite his background of alcohol abuse and previous robbery convictions. The officer, who was placed on extended paid leave following the massacre, was apparently unaware that he was working at the RSA.
Bell committed his offending just two months after being told his services were no longer needed at the RSA.
Confirmation of Corrections' payment was last week welcomed by Couch's support team.
Tai Hobson - the widower of Mary - said the government department had "mucked" Couch around for too long.
"I am really, really happy for her," Hobson said. "After all these years she has been trying . . . she was the one that was really mutilated by Bell. To come through that is really amazing. They have mucked around a long time with that case."
But he said the payment "should have been a million bucks".
Henry said that Couch's fight for compensation was not over, stating that his client had been "done over by the system".
Both Couch and Henry refuse to describe the $300,000 payment from Corrections as compensation.
They now aim to seek that compensation from ACC.
The figure paid out by Corrections is $200,000 shy of what Couch had been seeking from the government department in her earlier lengthy court battle for punitive damages resulting from alleged wrongdoing of the Corrections and the Probation Service.
The fight for financial aid had been frustrating and mentally taxing.
But Couch said: "What it will mean is when I am 60 or 70, whatever, I will be able to look back and know I did everything I could to get some justice."
What had got her through her continual battle was the backing of her staunch support network.
"People have helped me out in many ways," she said. "If it wasn't for their support and help, then things wold be a lot harder for me. If it wasn't for Brian Henry and Garth McVicar I would be rotting on a benefit somewhere - no-one else would know about my case."
Her son Jackson, now 13, had also given her inspiration.
"He is an awesome kid," Couch said. "I have tried to keep it as normal as possible for him. I get really stressed but he copes very well . . . As he gets older he is understanding [more]. While Jackson is here, I will be here."

EL SEGUNDO – The Los Angeles D-Fenders won the NBA Development League's 2011 Draft Lottery and will have the first overall selection in the 2011 NBA D-League Draft. The lottery took place last night in Denver at the league's annual coaches meetings. The NBA D-League Draft will be held Thursday, November 3.
"We're excited to have won the Draft Lottery and earned the first overall pick in the upcoming D-League Draft," said D-Fenders General Manager Glenn Carraro. "With the first pick, you have an opportunity to get an NBA caliber player that provides a strong foundation for your team to build around. Our staff was already looking forward to the Draft, and given this new opportunity, we're even more confident that we can build a competitive team here in Los Angeles."
The D-Fenders Draft Lottery win marks the second consecutive year that Head Coach Eric Musselman, who last season as Head Coach of the D-League's Reno Bighorns also won the Draft Lottery, has been at the helm of the team with the first overall selection.
The NBA D-League Draft utilizes a "serpentine" format, meaning the order will alternate in each of the eight rounds. For example, the team picking last in the first round will select first in the second round, giving them the 16th and 17th overall choices. In addition to the first overall pick, Los Angeles will select 32nd, 33rd, 64th, 65th, 96th, 97th and 128th overall.
The D-Fenders, the first franchise in D-League history to be owned by an NBA team (Los Angeles Lakers), begin the season November 25th with back-to-back road games at Dakota before opening their home schedule Monday, November 28 versus Reno. Returning for their fifth season of competition in 2011-12 after a one year hiatus, the D-Fenders will play all home games at Toyota Sports Center, the Lakers practice facility in El Segundo, CA.

The warmer weather over the weekend brought record setting crowds and some windy conditions at times to the LCSC campus for the 29th annual event. Performances, family-friendly activities, and the international-style food court are just some of the reasons why many say they'll be back next year.
"It's a nice park environment and I like that," said Portland Oregon resident Paul Crabtree. "Rather then on the street. Probably come back definitely."
"It's been a nice show, there is just a lot of people and a lot of people stopping by," said Hamilton Montana resident Mike Costanzo.
Art Under the Elms is the major fundraiser for Continuing Education and Community Events at Lewis-Clark State College. The Dogwood Festival has grown into one of the biggest outdoor festivals in the state of Idaho.

Beyond Stainless Steel: Colorful Kitchen Trash Cans from Brabantia
this yellow trash can (OXO, no longer available), I've loved the look of colorful cans. And Brabantia has a whole range of color options! It's surprisingly difficult to find large kitchen trash cans in any colors other than stainless steel, black, white, or red. Vipp has a fabulous limited edition green option right now, but it clocks in at almost $500 for an 8 gallon can. These trash cans from Brabantia aren't exactly cheap ($250 for a 12 gallon can) but if you're looking for a large, high-quality canister in a hot color, this is a great option. Available in Apple Green, Violet Purple, Cobalt Blue, Lemon Yellow, Chrome Orange and Lipstick Red, there's certainly a color to suit your kitchen style!

COLUMBIA - Republican firebrand and likely presidential contender U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz is headlining a state GOP fundraiser this month, the state party announced Tuesday.
Cruz, R-Texas, will host a luncheon at Seawell's, a Columbia banquet hall, on Sept. 15.
Forty dollars gets donors lunch, $100 gets a photo with a senator and $250 gets donors a photo and a spot on the event's host committee, according to the online invitation.
Cruz, 43, is a Harvard-educated lawyer who identifies with the tea party movement and has been a divisive figure in the U.S. Senate in his first term. In a recent speech in Texas, Cruz said that the 2014 mid-term election is about immigration issues. "President Obama has made a decision to make this election in 2014 a national referendum on amnesty," Cruz said in reference to an expected executive order from the White House, according to a Washington Post report.
Cruz has been in South Carolina several times, which hosts the South's first primary. His visit in Columbia follows one by Texas Gov. Rick Perry on Aug. 27.

Personal Trainer Offering Small Bootcamps & Pt
Hi, I will be opening my personal training business shortly and will be sharing space with a martial arts/MMA gym. I intend to focus on small group (4-6 ppl) bootcamps and one-on-one training. The workouts are hard and intense. I guess you could say they are a CrossFit inspired, but I am not a CrossFit instructor and do not intend to become. I love some of the thing CrossFit does, but dislike others. Some bootcamps could involve some non-contact kickboxing/Muay Thai moves and bag work. Other camps could strictly be intense station oriented. The workouts are constantly evolving and changing and aiming for not doing the exact same workout twice, keeping it fresh. The gym (warehouse space) will not have conditioned air and is a no frills place. I won't have any weight machines, we will use body weight, bands and dumbbells/barbells/plates, as well as custom made (sounds better than homemade, lol) plyo boxes, dip bars, etc. Additionally I will have some cardio machines. I know what I want to do but am struggling to come up with a name and tag line. BTW, my personality is "what you see is what you get", I don't tend to sugarcoat anything and you definitely know where you stand, no games/drama. I love the feeling I get when I am working with a client and what I am trying to teach them clicks and they "get it" and when class is over when they are proud of themselves for making it through the workout and the accomplishment they feel that I helped with! Thank you!!
