If you want to immigrate to Thailand and get settled permanently, a residence permit will be required. Find more details on the procedures to follow to get permanent residency in Thailand.
Would you like to move permanently to Thailand? Thai law on immigration makes it possible for you. First of all, you must apply for a resident permit at the Immigration Commission. You will need to meet the criteria established by the Thai government in order to obtain permanent residency in the country.
Steps to follow
The main criteria to be considered during your application will be your active income, your qualifications, vocational training, as well as your family status in relation to the standards and values of Thai society. To be eligible for a permanent residence permit, you must hold a valid passport, a non-immigrant visa and visa extension applications. This should prove that you have stayed in Thailand for a period of three years.
You must be at least 14 years old at the time of your request. Thai authorities will verify your criminal record, if you have any, and will collect your fingerprints. You will need to provide a letter of certification from your record so that they can determine, for national security reasons, if you are authorized on the Thai territory.
Justify your request
There are different categories for application of permanent residence. You can make a request if you are an investor, if you work in Thailand, or even for humanitarian reasons, for example, if your spouse or partner is sponsored by a Thai, or if your spouse is going to sponsor another person. Note that you must be familiar with Thai language to be able to communicate with the Thai authorities as well as with the citizens.
If you are an investor, you must be in possession of at least 10 million bahts (about € 24,000) you intend to invest in the country. You must also have a financial letter delivered by the commercial bank of Thailand certifying that you have sufficient financial means. Moreover, your investments should be of national or public interest.
Good to know:
In September of each year, for three consecutive years, you will need to submit proof of your legality in the country to the Immigration Commission regarding your investments or your monthly income. Otherwise, your residence permit in Thailand could be revoked.
Each application is considered individually and transparently by the Thai Immigration Committee. However, the Commission or the Minister of the Interior may reject an application for economic, political or social reasons.
For more information on residence permit in Thailand, please visit the official website of the Immigration Commission.

With the US Congress set to reconvene to debate whether to approve US military intervention in Syria, efforts by the White House to garner support at home and abroad are in full swing. But there is much persuading to do.
Visiting London, US Secretary of State Kerry said Monday that the US had "real evidence" pointing to the Syrian regime's involvement in an August 21 chemical attack outside Damascus in which Washington claims 1,429 people died.
Speaking at a news conference held with his British counterpart William Hague, Kerry (right in photo) said he had "evidence that as a former prosecutor in the United States I could take into a courtroom and get admitted."
"We know that his [Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's] regime gave orders to prepare for a chemical attack," he said, adding that the US knows "where the rockets came from and where they landed ... and it was no accident that they all came from regime-controlled territory and all landed" in opposition-held territory.
His remarks came as he was asked about comments made by Assad to CBS television in an interview to be aired on Monday. Assad argued that there was no conclusive evidence about who was to blame for the chemical weapons attack, though he himself blamed rebels.
He also said the US could face reprisals from "Syria's allies" if there were an attack by Western forces.
Hague (pictured left above) said in his remarks that the US had "the full diplomatic support of the United Kingdom," even if London did not intend to take part in any military action, adding that Britain would be "working closely with our closest ally" on Syria.
The British parliament two weeks ago voted against supporting a US-led military strike.
Efforts at persuasion
At home in the United States, President Barack Obama is also scrabbling to get lawmakers and public on side ahead of a first vote by Congress on Wednesday on "limited" US military intervention in Syria.
Obama is to appear in interviews on six television stations on Monday, ahead of an address to the nation on prime-time television on Tuesday. Before the speech, he is to meet with Senate Democrats to seek support, according to Senate Democratic aides.
Opinion polls show that most Americans oppose a strike. A recent Reuters/Ipsos survey showed that 56 per cent of Americans were against US-led military action in Syria and only 19 per cent in favor.
Persuading Congress is also likely to prove difficult, with an AP survey showing House members opposed to, or tendentially against, a military strike by a 6-1 margin.
'Bring back the inspectors'
Meanwhile, the Russian and Syrian foreign ministers said on Monday they planned to push for the return of UN chemical weapons inspectors to Syria to continue their reports.
After talks with his Syrian counterpart, Walid al-Moallem, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said that Moscow would continue to promote a peaceful settlement of Syria's 29-month civil war.
A team of UN inspectors is due to report to the world body on its findings at the site of the attack at roughly the same time that Congress holds its vote.
Russia has proven a loyal ally to Syria in recent times, regularly vetoing UN resolutions on Syria together with China.

Ethically Accredited
[Click here for more detailed table]
Despite the credit crunch chaos that followed the collapse of Lehman Brothers, most people still choose their banks or building societies for reasons of convenience – simply because there's a branch around the corner or because they had an account with a predecessor of one of today's conglomerates. As customers we should keep tracks on the way our banks behave, and on the deep issues regarding modern finance and economy. In the current economic context, we truly have a role to play when it comes to choosing to use only ethical banks and building societies. By supporting an ethical, alternative bank you are ensuring your money doesn't fund fossil fuels, human rights abuses, deeply questionable lobbying practices against progressive policies, or any number of other issues – you are ultimately making the choice to help assist in the development of and transition toward a better world.
Dodgy lending
The big banks have a notoriously bad history. Even in the last five years, banks have been condemned for funding rainforest destruction, for their involvement in highly controversial projects which damage the environment and hinder the fight against climate change, and for lending to governments of the world's poorest countries so they can buy expensive military equipment (to name a few).
Since some mutual building societies don't take business customers, they can never fund dubious business practices. Of those in the table, the Coventry, Yorkshire, Leeds do not lend commercially.
Perhaps the most rewarding way to store your money is with banks that have progressive investment policies. Charity Bank, the world's first not-for-profit bank, only invests in social purpose organisations, while Triodos Bank lends solely to projects that add cultural value or are of benefit to people and the environment. Despite no longer being wholly owned by its members, the Co-op Bank has a transparent and comprehensive lending policy, available on their website.
Tax Havens and Tax Avoidance
In 2011, ActionAid released a report showing that of the UK's biggest companies listed on the London Stock Exchange, the banking and financial sector were by far the heaviest users of tax havens. The 'Big Four' High Street banks – HSBC, Barclays, Lloyds Group and RBS had a total of 1,649 tax haven subsidiaries between them. One of the main reasons companies use tax havens is for Corporate tax avoidance, which has a far-reaching impact on developing and developed countries which then lack funds for essential services like healthcare and education.
In February 2015, HSBC was facing criminal charges in Belgium and a criminal investigation in France on the allegation that it "knowingly promoted serious and organised tax fraud" after leaked files revealed HSBC's Swiss bankers aggressively marketed a device that would allow its clients to avoid taxes.
Ethical health check
Information on the environmental and social policies and reporting standards of a range of banks can be found in an EIRIS factsheet, available at www.eiris.org. Charity Bank has been awarded Ethical Accreditation and should be highly commended accordingly.

In the various roles he has undertaken through the years, Val J. Halamandaris has been a singular driving force behind the policy and program initiatives resulting in the recognition of home health care as a viable alternative to institutionalization. His dedication to consumer advocacy, which enhances the quality of life and dignity of those receiving home health care, merits VNA HealthCare Group's highest recognition and deepest respect.
- VNA HealthCare Group
I have the highest respect for them, especially for the nurses, aides and therapists, who devote their lives to caring for people with disabilities, the infirm and dying Americans. There are few more noble professions.
- President Barack Obama
Home health care agencies do such a wonderful job in this country helping people to be able to remain at home and allowing them to receive services
- U.S. Senator Debbie Stabenow (D-MI) Chair, Democratic Steering and Outreach Committee
Home care is a combination of compassion and efficiency. It is less expensive than institutional care...but at the same time it is a more caring, human, intimate experience, and therefore it has a greater human element...it's a big mistake not to try to maximize it and find ways to give people the home care option over either nursing homes, hospitals or other institutions
- Former Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives Newt Gingrich (R-GA)
Medicaid covers long-term care, but only for low-income families. And Medicare only pays for care that is connected to a hospital discharge....our health care system must cover these vital services...[and] we should promote home-based care, which most people prefer, instead of the institutional care that we emphasize now.
- Former U.S. Senator Majority Leader Tom Daschle (D-CD)
We need incentives to...keep people in home health care settings...It's dramatically less expensive than long term care.
- U.S. Senator John McCain (R-AZ)
Home care is clearly the wave of the future. It's clearly where patients want to be cared for. I come from an ethnic family and when a member of our family is severely ill, we would never consider taking them to get institutional care. That's true of many families for both cultural and financial reasons. If patients have a choice of where they want to be cared for, where it's done the right way, they choose home.
- Donna Shalala, former Secretary of Health and Human Services
A couple of years ago, I spent a little bit of time with the National Association for Home Care & Hospice and its president, Val J. Halamandaris, and I was just blown away. What impressed me so much was that they talked about what they do as opposed to just the strategies of how to deal with Washington or Sacramento or Albany or whatever the case may be. Val is a fanatic about care, and it comes through in every way known to mankind. It comes through in the speakers he invites to their events; it comes through in all the stuff he shares.
- Tom Peters, author of In Search of Excellence
Val's home care organization brings thousands of caregivers together into a dynamic organization that provides them with valuable resources and tools to be even better in their important work. He helps them build self-esteem, which leads to self-motivation.
- Mike Vance, former Dean of Disney and author of Think Out of the Box
Val is one of the greatest advocates for seniors in America. He goes beyond the call of duty every time.
- Arthur S. Flemming, former Secretary of Health, Education, and Welfare
Val has brought the problems, the challenges, and the opportunities out in the open for everyone to look at. He is a visionary pointing the direction for us.
- Margaret (Peg) Cushman, Professor of Nursing and former President of the Visiting Nurses Association
Although Val has chosen to stay in the background, he deserves much of the credit for what was accomplished both at the U.S. Senate Special Committee on Aging, where he was closely associated with me and at the House Select Committee on Aging, where he was Congressman Claude Pepper's senior counsel and closest advisor. He put together more hearings on the subject of aging, wrote more reports, drafted more bills, and had more influence on the direction of events than anyone before him or since.
- Frank E. Moss, former U.S. Senator
Val's most important contribution is pulling together all elements of home health care and being able to organize and energize the people involved in the industry.
Anyone working on health care issues in Congress knows the name Val J. Halamandaris.
- Kathleen Gardner Cravedi, former Staff Director of the House Select Committee on Aging
Without your untiring support and active participation, the voices of people advocating meaningful and compassionate health care reform may not have been heard by national leaders.
- Michael Sullivan, Former Executive Director, Indiana Association for Home Care
All of us have been members of many organizations and NAHC is simply the best there is. NAHC aspires to excellence in every respect; its staff has been repeatedly honored as the best in Washington; the organization lives by the highest values and has demonstrated a passionate interest in the well-being of patients and providers.
- Elaine Stephens, Director of Home Care of Steward Home Care/Steward Health Systems and former NAHC C
Home care increasingly is one of the basic building blocks in the developing system of long-term care. On both economic and recuperative bases, home health care will continue to grow as an essential service for individuals, for families and for the community as a whole.
- Former U.S. Senator Olympia Snowe (R-ME)
NCOA is excited to be part of this great event and honored to have such influential award winners in the field of aging.
- National Council of Aging
Health care at home…is something we need more of, not less of. Let us make a commitment to preventive and long-term care. Let us encourage home care as an alternative to nursing homes and give folks a little help to have their parents there.
- Former President Bill Clinton
Since 2013, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) has been working to revise all hospice cost reports to require reporting of costs by level of care and require greater cost detail overall. On September 11, 2014, NAHC Report published, "Cost Report Update for Provider-based Hospices; Home Health Cost Report Changes Pending." Since then, there have been developments in this area, including the following:
The National Association for Home Care & Hospice (NAHC) has secured copies of the supporting documents associated with changes proposed for the home health agency-based hospices (Form CMS-1728-94) as follow:
On September 18, CMS posted a request for a second review of the hospital-based hospice cost report changes (Form CMS-2552-10). The supporting documents for this review have not yet been posted online but NAHC has secured copies as follow:
Given the multiple cost report types affected by the hospice modifications and the fact that each is at a different point in the lengthy revision process, NAHC has developed a table that provides a status report of the hospice cost report modifications for each type of hospice and links to copies of the latest version of the forms and other pertinent documents.

Our little Toby is here! Officially, he's Tobin James, 6lbs 13oz, born at 5:01am on November 5 (last Sunday morning).
Birth Story for those who are interested:
Spent Saturday cleaning and finishing up a couple of freezer meals. Hubby went to work in the afternoon. It was just an average sort of day -- nothing happening. I sat down to write down cooking directions for the freezer meals, and hubby walked in the door at about 11:00. He wanted to know if I was heading for bed, but I thought I would finish what I was doing first. 15 minutes later, I had the first contraction that made me think, "Was that a contraction?" Within another 15 minutes I was pretty sure (but still thinking it might just be Toby having his normally painful active time.)
Called the midwife at the hospital and she agreed that since it was my 4th, I ought to come in and be checked. I hadn't stopped to time the contractions or anything-- called my mom to see if she could come and stay with the kids overnight -- so on the 15 minute ride to the hospital I was surprised to have 4 contractions.
The midwife checked me and found I was not effaced or dilated. Fortunately she did find that the baby was low and in good position for delivery.
3 hours of walking the hospital floors later, I finally decided I was tired and went to lay down. The contractions basically slowed right down and I was afraid that they'd send me home and I'd have to start all over again! So I decided to get up. Well, the change in position immediately gave me a huge contraction and my water broke. I was 5 cm dilated -- and baby was born 20 minutes later.
It was the easiest labor and the most painful delivery.
But, we're all home now, and he's feeding and sleeping quite well. He gained half a pound between Tuesday and Friday. So we are all thankful!
We are SOOOO grateful to God for the safe arrival of our new soft, fuzzy, cuddly, sweet little one!

Our partners at Save The Elephants suggest that an estimated 100,000 elephants were killed for their ivory in Africa between 2010-2012. According to them, an elephant is poached every 15 minutes and, at this rate, they will be extinct in 10-15 years. In 2013 alone 35,000 African elephants were poached.
The illegal wildlife trade grosses $7-$10 billion annually and ivory can sell for $3,000 per pound in China where prices have tripled in the past three years. Throughout Asia two tusks of 33 lbs. can be worth up to $200,000. This illegal trade is fueling terrorist organizations in Africa and abroad; Al-Shabaab, al Qaeda's affiliate in Somalia, generated between $200,000 and $600,000 a month from tusks alone. The illegal ivory trade also funds Joseph Kony's Lord's Resistance Army in Central Africa and Boko Haram in Nigeria.

By Mons Kallentoft
Hodder and Stoughton, $29.99
Mons Kallentoft's Detective Inspector Malin Fors of the Linkoping Violent Crime Unit first appeared in Midwinter Sacrifice in 2007 (translated 2011), in what was then a projected quartet of crime thrillers, each set in a different season. Kallentoft finished the quartet with Savage Spring in 2010 (translated 2013) but, unable to let his female detective go, continues the series with The Fifth Season.
Fors is " smart, intuitive ... obsessive" and now has her personal life under control, no longer dependent on alcohol and in a relationship with Peter Hamse, scion of a wealthy family in Malmo.
Although Fors is considered by her colleagues as "the best of them all", the solution to one case has eluded her. Seven years earlier, Maria Murvall was found brutally raped and mutilated on a forest road. Since then she has lived mute and motionless in a psychiatric clinic. "The passage of time has no meaning for Maria Murvall. She lives in a season of her own ... a season of inverted emotions. Dead emotions ... the fifth season".
When a girl's body is found in the woods outside Linkoping, her extensive injuries are disturbingly similar to those of Maria. A psychiatrist from Lund mentions another girl who was found five years ago on a road near woods, "naked, raped. Mute. As if she'd been terrified out of her life, but without actually dying". Malin Fors wonders how many other women have suffered a similar fate at the hands of a serial sadist.
The intensive police investigation leads from forest hunting lodges to university secret societies and, eventually, to a group of powerful, rich men who hunt together – but is it only game they hunt?
Kallentoft's experiments with language have created a challenging, unique style. The victims' thoughts, hopes and memories are a constant reminder of their fate, while short, often repetitive phrases increase the tension in a graphically, often sickeningly, violent exploration of "shameful, terrible, vile crimes" against women. The Fifth Season is atmospheric, disturbing and memorable.

Oaty Milk Facial
Recipe by PetsRus
This makes your skin feel very soft, it is gentle and not messy. For a dry or sensitive skin use cream or olive oil as a binder, for an oily skin the yogurt. I have a dry skin and I like the cream best, and as that usually comes out of the fridge it makes a nice cool facial. If you have any left, treat your hands as well!
Top Review by KitchenManiac
I have got combination skin, oily on the t-zone, so what I did was I whipped up two batches. One batch with yogurt (t-zone; oily) and one batch with buttermilk (for the sensitive skin parts). It was wonderful! And it gave me a really nice glow. Thanks heaps!!

Angular 2 provides a Title service that you can use to set the title of a page. This is good, of course, for SEO. Here's how to use it.
import { Component } from '@angular/core';
import { Title } from '@angular/platform-browser';
selector: 'my-app',
viewProviders: [Title],
template: `<h1>MyApp</h1>`
export class MyAppComponent {
constructor(title: Title) {
title.setTitle('My App - Page Title');
The service automatically creates the title element in the head if needed and also sets the value. The service also has a getter method to get the title.

Which spare parts for Marlin 25 MN & Browning BL22?
I am wondering if anyone knows the most common parts that break on these guns:Marlin 25 MN and Browning BL 22.
As in which ones would be a good idea to have on hand? Info specific to these rifles would be great or more generalized information would also be helpful as I am not too familiar with long term use of bolt action and lever action rimfires of Marlin/Browning in what parts fail or any for that matter.
thanks, Tim
Welcome to FTF. I'd just spend the money on ammo and buy parts if/when they break. You could get years of use before you have any problems that a cleaning can't fix.
Due to the impending UN Small Arms Treaty/Ban, if you want spare parts, NOW is the time to get 'em...
Most likely things to have an issue on the Marlin would be the Firing Pin & the FP Spring...probably a mag spring would be a good buy as well...
I've run around 4K rounds thru my 25MN, no issues at all, but I also have the spare parts in my parts bins waiting just in case...

Company has a rare product - The auto signature machines as used by politicians, and military. Location was reasonable central location of Montgomery County.
Company is run by a father, wife and son. None agree on the direction of the company. There are different ideas of direction from one of the 3 owners to each to the employees. (the wife is not a formal owner but has say in what goes on) In the ad they post is that they are a "digital office with modern equipment" which is not saying much. This office still has copies of Windows 97, they don't even have a modern working version of Adobe Acrobat Pro. All pcs are slow. The internet is slow dsl. They don't even have DVD players. Still cd rom only players. Furniture is old, and falling apart. Conference room has tape on the chairs. If case you are not getting the underlying theme. The company is cheap. They do not reinvest back into the company. Regarding the client relationship manager/account manager position: Owner expects the Account/Client Manager to play the role of marketing, sales, technician, and office admin which includes collections and invoicing. Company is confused and has no sense of direction. Budget for marketing is zero dollars yet they wonder why they have minimal to no sales. Keep in mind this business has been operating for over 10 years but functions as if they were first opened for business 2 weeks ago. I feel sorry for anyone that accepts a position with this company. The selected individual is doomed to fail. If unemployment or this job. Take this if you plan on finding something else within 3-6 months. If you are employed stay where you are at.
Advice to Management
Hire individuals and empower them for what you hired them for. Hire an admin for administrative duties. Hire a salesperson to perform sales. Hire customer support/technician for just that supporting customers with technical problems. Hire someone in marketing to do just that provide marketing and provide a budget for that individual to have a professional outside company to create flyers, brochures, eflyers, web design, etc. If you expect the marketing person to do this then hire a web designer/graphic designer instead. Your profit/loss statements have been consistently down. The problem is not any individual but the leadership of the company. One last thing provide positive reinforcement to employees. Make the employee feel that he is part of a team not just the hired help.

Women, that annual cervical cancer screening is no longer necessary, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists says.
Most women can wait to be screened every three-to-five years, the organization said in its new guidelines announced Monday.
Some details of the new recommended guidelines
— For women ages 30-65 who have had negative results: Co-screening every five years, Pap test combined with a test for the sexually transmitted human papillomavirus (HPV).
— Women ages 21-29 should be screened once every three years instead of once every two years.
— Screening (Pap test or HPV testing) isn't advised for women under age 21.
— Women over age 65: Cervical cancer screening should be discontinued for women over this age, with these conditions: No history of certain cervical conditions or cancer and three consecutive negative Pap tests or two consecutive negative co-test resuts in the past 10 years, with the most recent test done within the past five years.
Cervical cancer used to be a leading cause of death for women, but over the past three decades the death rate has declined significantly due to regular screening. Now, most cervical cancer deaths occur among women who were never screened or who were inadequately screened, the obstetrics/gynecology organization says.
Even though the recommended screening interval is being lengthened, women still need to get their annual well women visits, the organization urges.
The new guidelines are aligned with those released earlier in the year by the American Cancer Society and the American Society for Colposcopy and Cervical Pathology, the organization said.

Why Am I So Nervous.....egg Free, Nut Free
Decorating By 1of5wives Updated 16 Apr 2009 , 3:16am by mom2owen1
Ok, I'm doing an egg free/ nut free cake from scratch... (just so I know there are no eggs in there) Icing with buttercream.. and covering with Satin Ice fondant ( checked with them and it is egg free) Why am I sooo paranoid that I'm going to kill a kid??? Has anyone else been nervous about special cakes like this or am I just mental in the head....??
I don't think you are mental--it's a big deal. Have you thought about having the customer sign a waiver (since you are not, technically, a 100% nut-free facility, you cannot guarantee without a doubt that there is no risk--no matter how small--of cross-contamination). Although my guess is, as the parents of the allergic child, if they are willing to get the cake from you, knowing you are not a nut-free facility, then they probably are not too concerned. I, personally, do not make such cakes, because I can't guarantee they'll be free from cross-contamination.
Just be very careful, wash down all of your counters, workspaces and tools that will come into contact with this cake (lest there be any residual nut traces from past projects) and wash your hands OFTEN (you never know if you move a jar or can in the pantry while looking for something for the cake and that jar has trace amounts on it). Some people might say this is going too far, but for some allergic children, a tiny speck is all it takes to trigger a reaction, so be mindful.
I think it is normal to be nervous. Although it does get easier the more allergy friendly cakes you make. I would say 80-90% of the cakes I make are allergy friendly. The only allergy I haven't attempted to accommodate is gluten.
PinkZiab had good advice about cleaning before and often. Of course keep any products containing peanuts put away for the duration of your baking and decorating.

LONDON – The expectation is the rails will come off Leicester's title challenge and Manchester United will get back on track.
But Manchester United's problems with scoring at home won't go away, with boos again ringing out at Old Trafford on Saturday after the hosts were stunned 1-0 by Southampton.
Leicester went three points clear at the top — for 24 hours at least before Arsenal was scheduled to host Chelsea — by beating Stoke 3-0. And Manchester City slipped further behind the pacesetters by drawing 2-2 at West Ham.
Jamie Vardy, having set the record for scoring in 11 consecutive Premier League games earlier in the season, ended a goal drought exceeding 10 hours for Leicester. Danny Drinkwater and Leonardo Ulloa scored either side of Vardy's 66th-minute goal, and a first-ever Champions League qualification for the central England club seems less fanciful by the week.
United might not return to the European elite if Louis van Gaal's side continues to produce such dismal performances. The record 20-time English champions went an 11th home game in a row without scoring in the first half and then conceded after the break when Charlie Austin netted on his Southampton debut.
"It was a poor performance, of course, because … football is not only defending but also creating chances, and we didn't create," Van Gaal said. "Our opponent neither, I think. So it was a poor game for the fans."
United remains fifth but is now five points behind Tottenham, which came from behind to win 3-1 at Crystal Palace. A moment of individual brilliance saw Tottenham go in front with 10 minutes to go. Dele Alli, one of the breakthrough stars of the season, flicked the ball up and back over his own head before volleying into the bottom corner.
After Norwich threw away a 3-1 lead in the second half against Liverpool, Sebastian Bassong thought he had secured a 4-4 draw. But in the fourth minute of injury time, Adam Lallana scored his first goal of the season to clinch a 5-4 victory for 7th-place Liverpool.
West Ham is sandwiched between United and Liverpool after holding Manchester City.
"This league is impossible to predict, especially this season," West Ham manager Slaven Bilic said. "It's so demanding, so every team can beat you."
At Vicarage Road, Watford ended a four-game losing streak by beating Newcastle 2-1. Newcastle remains in the relegation zone along with Sunderland, which was held 1-1 by Bournemouth. Bottom-place Aston Villa endured a goal-less stalemate with local rival West Bromwich Albion and is nine points from safety.

What Our Patients Are Saying
"Since I left your office, I've tried to think of how to thank you. Poems, pictures, imaginative cards to delight you. But no, nothing rang true. So, my words will have to do. Thank you. Thank you for treating me well. Thank you for discussing my treatment options. Thank you for being so delightfully straight—forward. Thank you for your excellent care and kindness. I send good thoughts your way. Here is to your continued good spirits."
I am filled with gratitude towards all of you for the extraordinary service you have provided. From day one, you placed and presented a kind, friendly atmosphere in a potentially frightening experience. Thank you, ever so much for treating my Greyson with "KID" gloves & for easing anxiety. You're the best!
I appreciate you participating in the Mission Of Mercy project. When I came to your office I was scared to death, however a few words of comfort from your staff and assurances from Dr. Mayerchak that I would feel no pain, I began to relax. Sure enough no pain, not even a flinch. Thank you for making me comfortable and saving my tooth.
I was seen in your office for pain & you took such good care of me. Having been my first root canal (hopefully the only one), you made me feel like you cared for me. I was a bit nervous, you assured me I was ok. Thank you both and may God bless you!
I want to thank you for the wonderful was I was treated and the great care I received during my most recent root canal visit. The professionalism and benchmark customer service I noticed in the office that day, is a tribute to you and a testimony to quality patient care. I have heard my patients great remarks about your practice for the last 35 years. Now I can truly say, I have experienced the great things I have heard. Roanoke is blessed to have you!

Message me here, or add me on Skype if you're interested.
Skype; Midnight669.
I will be checking back in tomorrow some time for messages, I will most likely not reply to anything in this forum post.[/QUOTE]
Still open for a partner, hit me up on skype.
I have done RAF before so I know ins and outs of leveling. I am looking to be recruited. I will buy all the xpac and game time required to play. However, I have some requirements:
1.) It has to be on PVE server and it has to be US. I can play about 2-3 hours a day. I am not a pvper and not a fan of it either so I am not really looking for pvp guild.
2.) Looking for someone who can support all the characters we level through RAF. That means gold for flying, mounts, bags, etc.. and must be in stable alive guild. And must be comfortable with Questing as well as dungeon grinding. Boosting doesn't seem to be too effective for RAF leveling anymore.
3.) Please be 18+..
I must emphasize North American partner portion. I cannot play during EU primetime so I can't help you if you are from EU
Edit: Please PM me regarding questions as I will probably miss your questions in this thread. Its an active thread..
Last edited by highdesi; 2013-09-20 at 11:34 AM. Reason: adding contact info.
Looking to be recruited US Servers(Tich Horde prefered)
What I can Provide:
-Battle Chest
-I roll tank or healer
What you provide
-Gold (if Tich)
-Expansions (any other server)
I've rolled (sadly) dozens of characters to 90 and leveling is nothing new to me. I'd like one, but can do 2 toons if need be. Email me syphram at gmail dot com
Looking for a mature, +18, nice person to recruit. Sylvanas-EU, Horde side. You need to buy your own battlechest.
Please have the time to play a few hours a day for about a week. The plan is to hit 80 on one set of characters. I hope we reach that goal early next week.
PM me if you're interested!

Looking for an RaF partner to only make 2 characters. I can recruit you or you can recruit me idc. I can pay for my own account and gametime plus expansions. The two characters will be made on Kel'Thuzad Alliance and Tichondrius Horde. I'd make a druid on each so I can tank or heal to do chain random dungeon ques to level faster. If you recruit me I will gladly level another character on each server to 40 and then grant you the other 40 levels to give you another 80 toon. skype is yev.kosa that would be the best way to get in contact with me.
- - - Updated - - -
Looking to RECRUIT someone for RAF, you'll need to have already bought the game.
The sever will be Outland eu, i'll provide you with gold to start you off.
However it would be relaxed as i dont have loads of time to play constently
Just leave a reply if intrested

London: Actress Rebel Wilson says Jennifer Lawrence is "way funnier" than she is and would be great in a comedy.
Jennifer Lawrence
The Australian comedic actress has become firm friends with the Oscar-winning star and said Lawrence is naturally hilarious, reported Female First.
"Jennifer Lawrence is just the most naturally hilarious person. She's way funnier than me and a real story-teller.
"If she was in a comedy she'd smash it. We'll hang out or have a barbecue. That's the cool thing about living in the US - you get to meet so many people you respect and work with."

No need to look further: AFAIK the binding currently doesn't sync order, it only checks for new or removed rows.

The way some parents talk to their kids in public, it's clear that they want you to listen too. This week in our local supermarket I witnessed a rather pointy woman loudly rebuking her child, who was small enough to be standing in the trolley. "Darling," she said, "you don't mean 'who', you mean 'whom'."
I should admit at this point that grammar is not my strong suit. This column has a skilful editor, and all I do each week is select a few dozen nouns from the Guardian's approved list, while she does the tedious work of adding verbs and connecting it all together with prepositions, articles, and whatever those other joining words are called. So the "who" and "whom" thing was news to me, and naturally I began to shadow the mother and child around the supermarket aisles in the hope of learning more.
Sadly, the woman had no further grammatical pointers for her toddler, although she did offer the following, in a stage whisper, when the boy made a grab for a box of eggs: "No, darling, we don't buy battery eggs and I just can't understand people who do." Fair enough – I just can't understand them either. I can't imagine what possible imbalance in the circumstances of one of the queen's subjects might compel them to buy a box of eggs costing 49p instead of a box costing £2.20. Come to think of it, I just can't understand why everyone doesn't simply buy the best available version of everything. It's idiotic that people drive bad cars, for example. It's senseless that people continue to live in Hackney when everyone knows Hampstead is nicer. And I just can't understand why anyone would buy "who" when, for a few quid extra, they could have "whom".
Dizzy with incomprehension, I staggered home from the supermarket, dug out Fowler's Modern English Usage, and shuddered with relief. The "who" versus "whom" rule, it turns out, is perfectly simple. We use "who" when we are referring to the subject of a clause, and "whom" when we are obliquely informing the other people in the supermarket that our Porsche Cayenne has a volume of Herodotus in the glove box. I am equally guilty of using my children to show off in public. I hope other people – and by other people, I mean women – will think "Gosh, see how nicely he explains things to his little boys? I bet his vintage Ferrari has a volume of Roald Dahl in the glove box."
Everywhere you go, parents are using their kids to pass countless messages in public places. These range from the heroic "No, Jessica, in our family we never give up," to the plaintive "I know, but Mummy's doing her best, OK, Mikey?" And yet despite its prevalence, the English language doesn't have a word for the register of parental speech that is ostensibly aimed at the child but really intended for the consumption of bystanders. Oh, excuse me: I've just checked and it does. The word is "monologue".
In our defence, if there's one thing worse than parents who care who's listening, it's parents who don't. One of the most distressing experiences is to witness other parents screaming at their small children in the supermarket. The technical term for this register of speech is known to grammarians as "OMG, I can't believe you just said that in public! What must you be like when there are no witnesses?" That same day in the supermarket I heard: "Put those fucking crisps back, Tyler, or I'll fucking well smack you!" It is grammatically correct, yet still somehow shocking in a way that I find difficult to pin down. Maybe it is the bathos of the word describing the act of love being pressed into service as an adjective in the context of salted potato snacks. Or maybe it's just plain sad.

Right before the NBA Trade Deadline, the Boston Celtics made what seemed like a savvy deal with the Washington Wizards. The deal sent Leandro Barbosa, who had torn his ACL just before the deadline, to Washington while the Celtics received guard Jordan Crawford. The move could have potentially given Boston another scorer to bring off the bench, but it hasn't played out that way so far.
In his eight games in Celtics' green, Crawford has averaged just 13.8 minutes per game and hasn't exactly taken advantage of his opportunities. He's averaging just 5.4 points and 2.8 rebounds per game and has struggled with his efficiency, shooting just 38.6 percent from the floor and 31.3 percent from three.
One of the knocks against Crawford when he was in Washington was that he tended to put up empty stats that really didn't matter much in the context of the game. On top of that, he has always struggled when it comes to his efficiency, shooting just 40 percent over his career. Those issues he's had haven't worked themselves out in Boston.
The Celtics could really use his scoring off the bench if he could ever learn to make wiser decisions with the ball and when it comes to his shot selection. As of right now, Jeff Green and Jason Terry are really the only players on Boston's roster that give them production off the bench. Crawford being able to put points on the board would really help their offense.
As of right now though, with Crawford failing to produce, the trade hasn't really helped or hurt the team. They're still 6-2 over the eight games since acquiring Crawford and haven't had any glaring problems with him. The trade was mostly about the potential upside that Crawford has, but that upside hasn't been realized yet.

|3,767 sq. ft.
|Property type
|chateau / country house
|Minimum Stay
|3 - 7 nights
Monte d'Avó is a typical country house, situated in the coutryside just outside of Cercal, but near to the village centre and the most beautiful beaches of Portugal, such as the beaches of Porto Covo and Vila Nova de Milfontes, You will find peace and quietness, and the typical way of life here, the meaning of the word stress is not known here!
5 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms. Kitchen and lounge with TV.
Terrace and acces to pool, garden, sunbeds, hammocks and summer kitchen with grill.
The summer kitchen has a large barbecue area, nearby the pool! It has a very large charcoal barbecue, a breadoven, a hob and oven, a sink, a fridge, all the plates, cups etc and a large table for your daily lunches!
A few metres from the pool area, about 1,5m higher with a wunderfull view over the pool, you'll find a peaceful relaxing area with hammocks, under a 100 year old oaktree.
About 200m from the house there are horsestables, and you are welcome for a ride!
I'm Meike, I'm a Dutch girl living in Portugal since the year 2000.
I ride and train horses and teach others, adults and children, to ride.
Also I look after the property, clean the pool, maw the lawn and prepare the house to make sure you will very much enjoy your stay at ' Monte d'Avó !
Meike purchased this chateau / country house in 2006
Exceptional place. If you want a peacefill holiday, this is the place to go! Bedrooms are spacious each with there own bathroom. Fully equiped kitchen (although we didn't cook). Flat screen TV (didn't watch tv either). The pool is nothing short of spectacular, with a table off to one side it lends itself to drinking a nice bottle of rosé;). Our host, Meike, is exceptionally friendly.
The property delivers what it promises, without a doubt. Very well maintained and very friendly personel.
Would certainly recommend this to friends or family.
A car is needed however, Cercal is a 2 min drive away and offers small coffee shops. Porto Covo and Vill Nova de Mil Fontes are about 20 mins away by car, and offer amazing restaurantes and wonderfull views:).
I would suggest the beach at Ilha do Pessegeiro for those wanting a little beach time.
-Wonderfull house with pool, perfect for relaxing or a romantic getaway.
-A car is a must if you want some beach time
-Bars and Nightlife in Villa Nova de Mil Fontes and Sines.
-Small supermarket nearby +-2 min drive
All in all a must for those looking for a little peace and quiet.
Instalações de acordo com descrição. Bom espaços exteriores.
Uma nota muito positiva para a proprietária: por motivos de saúde de familiares tive que interromper as férias e foi nos feita uma atenção importante no preço da estadia.
Sugestões: falta ar condicionado no quarto.
Incluir um cabaz de pequeno almoço.
Ideal para umas férias tranquilas campo não muito longe da costa
Dsa Haus liegt in der Nähe von Cercal, etwas abseits in sehr ruhiger Lage. Das Haus hat Platz für locker 10 Personen, mit 5 Schlafzimmern und ebenso vielen Bädern. Die Räume, vor allem das Wohnzimmer sind sehr stilvoll, aber leicht abgewohnt. Die Küche dürfte 2017 neu hergerichtet worden sein. Zusätzlich gibt es einen separaten Raum mit einem offenen Kamin zum Grillen. Die Anlage ist sehr grün mit einem tollen Pool! Die Besitzerin ist freundlich und hilfsbereit, alles in allem haben wir uns hier sehr wohl gefühlt und empfehlen das Haus gerne weiter!
Uma excelente semana de férias numa casa espaçosa, bem apetrechada e perto de tudo, praia e centro da vila do Cercal. A piscina e alpendre são óptimos para passar umas boas horas de convívio. A possibilidade de visitar e passear a cavalo é um "plus". A repetir, seguramente.
Todo o grupo (10 pessoas) adorou a estadia no Monte D'Avó!
Foi uma semana muito bem passada, numa casa muito gira, decorada com muito bom gosto e todas as facilidades que se pretendem, para uma casa de férias!
O espaço exterior é excelente e convidativo para um dia bem passado na piscina, ou para um fim de tarde, depois da praia! O sítio do monte é calmo e tranquilo, num ambiente campestre, e muito apelativo para um passeio a cavalo, ou mesmo aulas de equitação, com a Meike (a proprietária)!
O espaço da churrasqueira é muito bom!
A Meike, foi super atenciosa connosco, muito simpática e prestável, e deixou-nos totalmente avontade para aproveitarmos a casa, como se fosse nossa!
Vamos certamente repetir a estadia, este ano!
Obrigado Meike!
Nous restés 3 semaines dans cette maison. C'est vraiment superbe pour des vacances avec la famille ! Magnifique endroit dans la campagne de l'Alentejo au calme, la maison est superbe grande et bien équipée, l'immense cuisine extérieure avec grand barbecue très pratique et les terrasses donnant sur la grande piscine ne donne pas envie de bouger de la maison. Toutes les commodités (village, commerces..) sont très proches et la plage est 10 km. Sans oublié le haras, nos enfants ont pu faire du cheval et Meike, la propriétaire qui est très sympa ! Idéal pour de belles vacances mémorables !
Monte d'Avô is situated just outside the centre of Cercal de Alentejo, where you'll find everything you need, supermarket, banks, postoffice, restaurants and coffeebars with lovely terraces, kiosk for your newspaper and or tabaco, pharmacy, playpark for children and various shops.
Nearby at about 10km the famous Porto Covo, with its lovely beaches and nice centre with seaview and lots of nice restaurants and terraces. Porto Covo got famous because of a song about it.
Also nearby the village Vila Nova de Milfontes with breathtaking views, and again lots of restaurants and shops.
A bit further you'll find the town Odemira, definitely worth a visit! Odemira lies at about 24km
At about 36km you'll find themepark Badoca Park, a great day out for the whole family! Visit wild life animals, such as giraffes, monkees, birds of prey etc and watch them as you drive by in either your own car or in a small train. Also funrides and shows. Definitely a must go there!
Sines is the harbour town, that's where you can buy the best fish and shellfish!
Grandola is a bit further away, at 68km, it has a very large supermarket Continente, and a trainstation with a direct and fast connection with the centre of Lisbon.
More to the interior of the country you will find Ourique, with historical buildings and a watch tower, still remaining from the city walls. Here you will also find a a very large supermarket. At 46km
Lagos is also a good days out. Visit the Algarve, wander around at the marine of Lagos. The towncentre of Lagos is wunderful restored, so many restaurants with lovely terraces that you won't know which one to pick! At about 65km from Cercal.

For proof, one need look no farther than General Motors' 6.5% sales improvement in May, which was built on an 11% surge in light trucks. New products with fuel-hungry Hemi V8s help, too.

Ground Beef and Texas Bean Enchiladas
Recipe by aneunayme
A hearty variation of a traditional favorite! My family loves these. Looks complicated but it's really very simple especially the sauce!
Top Review by Larawithoutau
This was quick to put together and even my onion & tomato hating DD ate a whole one! I pureed the tomatoes, onions & garlic so she wouldn't notice. If you like a smooth meat sauce (which I do anyway, I suggest doing the same). The completed dish was so full of flavor! We topped with sour cream & garnished with fresh cilantro & lime.
I had enough of the meat filling leftover for a good size bowl of chili. I think my meat was a little bit over a pound. Thanks for sharing!
See Discussion:12 Reviews 1 Tweak

- 24.64 ml red chili powder
- 4.92 ml cumin
- 9.85 ml garlic powder
- salt and pepper
Directions See How It's Made
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Combine in large skillet ground beef, onion, garlic, salt and pepper.
- Cook until beef is browned.
- Drain grease.
- Return to skillet and add tomatoes, peppers or canned chilies, and beans (I prefer the Texas beans and fresh pablano pepper here because of the added flavor).
- Reduce heat, cover and simmer while preparing the sauce, stirring frequently.
- Prepare the sauce by mixing all ingredients in medium bowl with a wire whisk until butter has melted.
- Add salt and pepper to taste.
- Add about 1/2 cup sauce to meat mixture.
- Turn off heat.
- Dip each tortilla (the whole wheat are absolutely delicious in this recipe) into the enchilada sauce coating thoroughly.
- Lay the soaked tortilla in your baking pan and add one serving spoon of the meat mixture lengthwise along one end of tortilla then roll it up from there (Note that there should be about 2 serving spoons of meat left when you are done with filling all tortillas).
- When done rolling each one make sure to place it so that open end of tortilla is on the bottom to avoid spillage.
- Repeat with all tortillas.
- Add remaining meat mixture and remaining sauce evenly on top of enchiladas.
- Cover with aluminum foil and bake 15 minutes.
- Remove from oven, remove foil, cover with grated cheese and return to oven for 5 minutes uncovered, or until all cheese has melted.
- For easiest serving, slice enchiladas in half lengthwise down the pan.
- Serve with rice, sour cream, guacamole, and your favorite corn chips.

The size of the premedia global services market is estimated to be worth $2-2.5 billion, and slated to double in the next three to four years. New York-based OfficeTiger is bullish on estimates that India has the potential to capture at least 20 to 25 per cent of the global Premedia market, and 12 per cent of other related services such as animation and design.
"We are witnessing a lot of repeat businesses, and markets are opening up across the world, including markets in Europe. We expect it to grow exponentially in the next 18 months. While our total headcount will go up to 5,000, a large chunk will be for Premedia services," said Anupam Ahuja, Vice-President, Marketing, OfficeTiger.
At OfficeTiger, the Premedia service line offers an 'integrated suite of creative and publishing services' designed to take documents, marketing collaterals and presentations through the development lifecycle from development to print. The applications support the prepress value chain for books, brochures, newsletters, ad work, and financial documents including web publishing.
Presently, the Premedia services team size at OfficeTiger is around 700. "This number will grow - if not double – to at least 1,100-1,200 people by April or May next year, as the total number of people goes up from 2,700 to around 5,000," explained Ahuja, but refused comment on the revenues of the Premedia services arm. She added, though, that Premedia was "one of the largest service lines" for OfficeTiger.
The company's total revenues are at $100 million, through its four broad arms of Financial and Management Services, Research and Analysis, Transactional Processing, and Premedia services. Headquartered in New York, the company primarily drives operations from two major facilities in Chennai. It also has a facility in Colombo, and by end-2005, it proposes to spread operations across seven countries and 15 sites.
More than one ad agency in Chennai informs us that their creative talent has migrated to work with outfits like OfficeTiger in the recent past. "Though the nature of work is different from that of a typical advertising agency, it is creative enough and, more importantly, remunerative enough to attract talent from advertising," remarked the creative head of a Chennai-based outfit.
On its client portfolio, Ahuja explained, "Our clients include 10 of the top 12 investment banks, law firms, print and publishing houses, retail chains, management consultancies, diversified financial institutions, real estate firms and Fortune 500 companies."
This has proved challenging enough not just for creative pros on the lookout, but also for business development teams at advertising agencies. Positioned as a professional support services firm, OfficeTiger has been attracting agencies eager to take the brand on as a client, too. The spokesperson stated that this was not being considered actively, as of now. Premedia services, however, are pretty much on OfficeTiger's growth agenda.
