One of the most recognizable drums in both their sound and appearance, the snare drum comes in a wide variety of sizes and styles, and when it comes to marching bands and orchestras, the concert snare is the favored choice. With that in mind, you don't need to look any further than Pearl for a concert snare drum that's bursting with life, and more than capable of holding up through countless practices and performances. Like everything Pearl constructs, their concert snares are the result of a dedicated team of drum experts who take pride in making your talents fully realized by an audience.
Pearl certainly has plenty of concert snares ranging from brass and maple snares to aluminum and African mahogany models. Of course, one of the easiest ways to narrow down your decision is by starting with the best sellers, and the Philharmonic Brass Concert Snare is stunning in both looks and tone. Featuring the world renowned SR500 Triad Strainer, vintage snare beds, depth options in 5.0" and 8.0" and much more, the new Philharmonic Brass Concert Snare has a depth and brightness that needs to be heard to be believed. No doubt, for percussionists who hit the stage regularly, you'll be more than happy with this beauty.
Another popular concert snare is the Pearl Symphonic. Featuring a 6-ply, 7.5mm thick, 100% aged maple shell formed from Pearl's patented heat compression molding process, this snare has incredible control and precision. Additionally, it's finished in high-gloss antique sunburst, so you can bet that you'll look as amazing as you sound while giving the best performance of your life.
When you've worked so hard on being the best percussionist you can be, it only makes sense to go with a name that's proven time and again to be a leader in drum and percussion manufacturing. After all, you already know that you have the drive and talent to make it to the top. All you need now is a solidly-built concert snare to take you there, and any one of the options from Pearl's catalog would be a terrific choice.

Rand Nature Center
Established: 1992
Size: 100 acres
Acquired by the BNT in 1992 the Rand Nature Centre comprises 100 Acres of natural beauty near the heart of downtown Freeport, Grand Bahama. The Rand Nature Centre boasts a two thousand foot trail, which winds through natural coppice and pine barrens. The Centre is now the home of the administrative office of the BNT in Grand Bahama.
Detailed Description
in a larger map
Established: 1992
Size: 100 acres
The Rand Nature Centre came under the responsibility of the Bahamas National Trust in March 1992. This 100 acre property is located two miles from downtown Freeport, Grand Bahama. The foot trail winds through native coppice and pine barrens. Rand Nature Centre serves as the regional headquarters of The Bahamas National Trust for the northern Bahamas.
The Rand Nature Centre was established in 1968 by Mrs. Dorothy Rand in memory of her husband James Rand, an American inventor and philanthropist. The Nature Centre was created for the purpose of preserving an area of natural beauty, where visitors could enjoy Bahamian wildlife and flora and learn about the environmental education and research facility by its first Director, American Naturalist, Dr. Paul Fluck.
The Rand Memorial Nature Centre (RMNC) was constructed by the Colonial Research Institute (CRI) in 1969, and until 1990, was financially supported by this institution. In 1990 it became clear that CRI would no longer be able to financially support this body, and the persons in charge began to look for an organization whose objectives and financial resources would enable the RMNC to be maintained. A letter to The Bahamas National Trust stated CRI's intent to make the RMNC an independent entity that would be given the CRI's leasehold in the property, and rights to all improvements made on the property. The entire entity would then be transferred to an organization that CRI felt would be able to best take care of it in the future. This is when a proposal was given to the BNT's Executive Committee to incorporate the RMNC into the National Park system. Due to the limited resources of the BNT it was decided that the RMNC needed to become self-sufficient and therefore the Centre needed to increase visitor numbers and increase contact with the general public of Grand Bahama. A 99 year lease was signed, conferring 100 acres of property owned by the Grand Bahama Port Authority to the control of the BNT in February 1992. The Bahamas National Trust assumed responsibility for the facility in 1991 and has continued the vision of its founders. Guided tours, school programs, animals exhibits and natural history displays are among the many environmental activities at the Centre.
Importance to Biodiversity
Native flora:
Easy to follow trails wind through the native pine forest and branch off into secluded areas, with many benches along the way for rest and relaxation. The Centre boasts a wide diversity of native flora and guided tours highlight the uses of Bahamian Plants in "Bush Medicine" Orchids begin blooming along the trail in spring and summer, but visitors will find other plants blooming at other times of the year.
Bird life:
The Nature Centre is well-known as a birding hot spot, especially in October to May when the resident bird population is supplemented by wintering northern songbirds. Commonly sighted birds of the RMNC include Red-legged Thrushes, Cuban Emerald Hummingbirds, LaSagra's Flycatchers, Bahama Yellow throats and a host of other warblers. Observant visitors may spot other wildlife such as Curly-tailed lizards, 5 lined skinks, colourful butterflies and even raccoons which were first introduced to Grand Bahama in the 1930's.
Flamingo Pond:
This man-made freshwater pond is landscaped with native and exotic vegetation. It once was the home of a small flock of flamingos, which had resided here alongside the water lilies, fresh water turtles and mosquito fish. Today the flamingos are no longer there but other native wild birds now call Flamingo pond home. This pond has a viewing deck that was donated by Southern Power.
Importance to Education
Visitors Centre: The entrance building houses educational displays, the gift shop, restrooms, meeting room and staff offices. Natural history exhibits feature such topics as island geology and ecology and a collection of Bahamian Sea Shells. Also on display at the Visitor's Centre are several native animals including the endangered Bahama Parrot, a Red-tailed Hawk, several Bahama Boa Constrictors and other harmless snakes. A nursery display of interesting native plants is situated just inside.
Importance to Tourism
Tours: Guided tours are offered daily (except Sunday). The informative leisurely walk along the 2,000 foot forest trail encompasses all points of interest in the Centre. A special bird watching tour is offered on the first day of each month. School programs which include an introductory talk and guided tour, may be scheduled.

- The team of chemical weapons investigators led by Prof. Ake Sellström, which was in Syria to investigate allegations of the use of chemical weapons there, left the country today after completing its six-day mission.
- The team will now move to the phase of finalizing its report, which the team hopes will be ready by late October.
- Meanwhile, the Deputy Secretary-General spoke by videolink today to the UN Refugee Agency's Executive Committee in Geneva, and he drew attention to the needs of more than 2.1 million Syrian refugees who have registered or are waiting to be registered in five neighbouring countries. He said that the impact of the refugee crisis on neighbouring countries has been very significant, with public services becoming severely overstretched.
- António Guterres, the High Commissioner for Refugees, said that Lebanon, Jordan, Turkey and Iraq have been sheltering an unrelenting flood of Syrian refugees, saving lives and providing protection. They have been generous hosts to their neighbours, but all of them are stretched to their limits. Valerie Amos, the Emergency Relief Coordinator, also spoke at that meeting.
- Asked about whether the Sellström team members would return to Syria, the Spokesperson said that they departed today and would now work to finalize their report by the end of October. He said that they had obtained considerable information during their visits.
- He added, in response to further questions, that the team had received good cooperation as it went about its work. He noted, in addition, that their most recent work did not necessarily require on-site visits to areas where alleged chemical weapons attacks had taken place.
- Asked why the team did not visit Khan al-Asal, the Spokesperson said that, for many sites, documentary information or data from witnesses could be obtained without going to the area. The passage of time, meanwhile, affected the ability to obtain useful samples from some sites.
- Asked about a joint UN-Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) team going to Syria, the Spokesperson said that the team was scheduled to begin work on Tuesday. He noted that the team comprises OPCW chemical weapons experts and other key personnel supporting their work.
- Nesirky added that the team going in was an advance team, with a larger team going in a few weeks later.
- He added that, following the Security Council vote on chemical weapons in Syria last Friday, there was a clear need to move forward on the political and humanitarian tracks.
- Asked about the guidelines for the Sellström team's work, the Spokesperson pointed to the guidelines of the Secretary-General's mechanism for dealing with chemical weapons, which were developed following the passage of a General Assembly resolution in 1987, reaffirmed by a later Security Council resolution.
- Under those guidelines, the teams determine whether chemical weapons were used but not by whom.
- Asked about a letter from the Government of Syria concerning Syrian opposition leaders, the Spokesperson confirmed that the letter has been received.
- He added that the Secretary-General met over the weekend at his residence with Syrian opposition leaders.
- Asked about the humanitarian situation, the Spokesperson noted that, in his remarks to the Security Council on Friday, the Secretary-General said that he expected Council members to firmly demand that the Syrian Government and the opposition uphold their obligations under International Humanitarian Law, including the lifting of all obstacles to humanitarian access.
- Nesirky added that the Secretary-General had added in his General Assembly address that human rights monitors could play a useful role.
- The Secretary-General's Special Representative for Iraq has expressed his shock at the series of car bomb explosions that hit the city of Erbil yesterday and caused a number of casualties.
- Special Representative Nickolay Mladenov said that, for many years, the city Erbil has benefited from peace and security. He urged the regional and national authorities to work together to ensure that conditions will remain calm and tranquil and that those responsible for the attack will be brought to justice.
- In response to questions, the Spokesperson said that the UN Mission in Mali (MINUSMA) is working closely with the Malian authorities and Operation Serval regarding follow up to the suicide bombing in Timbuktu and on strengthening security in the town, as well as on restoring order in Kidal.
- MINUSMA is also working with the parties to the 18 June Agreement and international partners to help ensure that implementation gets back on track. It is vital that there is cooperation amongst the parties within the implementation mechanisms for the Agreement and discussions on the way forward to continue.
- Important steps include the ceasefire, the launch of an inclusive dialogue with all Northern armed groups and communities and the cantonment process.
- The security incidents that have taken place over the past couple of days in Timbuktu and Kidal are indications of need for continued vigilance.
- At a Ministerial Meeting of Landlocked Developing Countries this morning, the Secretary-General said that the economies of landlocked developing countries remain fragile and vulnerable to external shocks such as the global economic crisis and climate change.
- To address these challenges, the Secretary-General said that policies should be results-oriented and broad-based. He also called on Landlocked Developing Countries to strengthen partnerships and take advantage of cooperation and investment among developing States while stressing the need for a successful conclusion of the Doha Round of trade negotiations.
- The Secretary-General also said that the concerns and perspectives of landlocked developing countries must be taken into account in crafting the post-2015 development agenda.
- Asked about the Secretary-General's meeting last week with President Hassan Rouhani of Iran, the Spokesperson said that they discussed human rights, among other subjects, including the recent release of a dozen human rights activists, including Nasrine Setoudeh. The Secretary-General welcomed that release and called for additional such steps.
- Asked about the situation between Greece and the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, the Spokesperson said that a solution to the so-called "name" issue is in the interest of both countries, as well as to the Western Balkans as a whole. The Secretary-General's Personal Envoy, Matthew Nimetz, visited the region earlier this month and met with senior government officials of both countries to seek their views on his most recent proposal.
- Asked about cholera in Haiti, the Spokesperson said that the focus of the United Nations is to help the people of Haiti deal with the epidemic, adding that funding is crucial for that effort. He noted that the Secretary-General had met with the Prime Minister of Haiti last week.

Heavy Machinery & Materials
The first few months of 2010 were filled with grim news about shipbuilders, as orders dried up and liquidity crunches forced small companies out of business. Amid an industry-wide restructuring, many questioned whether even the top tier could survive.
But Sokje Lee, a Seoul-based senior analyst with Mirae Asset Securities, told investors that top-tier shipbuilders would emerge from restructuring not just as survivors, but as big winners. He kept buy ratings on the industry's top makers all year, a decision that helped win him Asia's Best Analysts' top ranking in 2010 for the heavy machinery and materials sector.
"There were worries over the declining number of new orders or production capacities," Mr. Lee said, "but those are not leading indicators to forecast the shipbuilding sector—rather, lagging factors."
So the 40-year-old analyst with 12 years of experience studying heavy machinery and materials turned his eye in 2010 to a more forward-looking theme: fuel efficiency. New carbon-emission regulations were about to trigger competition among owners to put more emphasis on fuel use than price, he said.
When a maritime-industry publication reported in August that Maersk, the world's largest container-shipping line, was preparing to order megasize vessels expected to have a lower top speed than smaller ones—thus consuming much less fuel per unit—Mr. Lee inferred that shippers were in earnest about improving efficiency.
"From that point, I thought container-ship orders would recover faster than expected," Mr. Lee said.
Among his top picks for 2010, Hyundai Heavy Industries 009540 -0.40 % and Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering 042660 -0.67 % returned 160% and 111%, respectively, for the full year.
Mr. Lee said he remains optimistic for South Korean shipbuilders into 2011. As restructuring comes to an end and demand grows for ships with lower carbon emissions, "shipyards with technological edge will strengthen ever more," he said.
His pick for 2011 is STX Offshore & Shipbuilding, the world's fourth-largest shipbuilder by order. The company posts around $10 billion in yearly revenue, but its market capitalization is only about $2 billion.
"It's the most undervalued stock in the sector," he said.
His first report on STX O&S, pointing out its product diversity and strong growth potential, won much market attention in the South Korean bourse; shortly after he initiated coverage of STX O&S by declaring it had upside potential of 151%, the stock went up limit-up 15%.

"Khe Sanh - A very sad place" Khe Sanh by bpwarne
Khe Sanh Travel Guide: 1 reviews and 12 photos
I visited Khe Sanh on a group day tour of the DMZ area. Khe San was a scheduled 45 minute stop in a long 12 hour day trip out of Hue and I was doubtful it would be enough. However, there really is very little to see here. A couple old US tanks, a Huey and a Chinook helicopter, a small museum mostly filled with pictures, a few old bombs, a couple of bunkers which my or may not be original. Virtually everything of a base of 6,000 people is gone.
It was cold and foggy the day I was there and the surrounding hills were not visible. There was a young guy following the tourists around, hawking old dog tags as souvenirs which everyone seemed to abhor. The area surrounding the base is full of coffee plants which did not look overly productive, there was a woman selling cold drinks and small bags of coffee. It was too cold for most of the tourists to be interested in cold drinks and no one was interested in buying the coffee beans. Add to this our tour guide's relentless drum pounding on the glorious victory and I began to wonder why I even came here. The dense slow moving fog only added to the ghastly impression of the whole scene. To the victor go the spoils, they say. Spoils it seems is what they got. My visit to Khe Sanh left me very confused.
Above all, do not expect to hear a truthful recounting of the seige from your tour guide. It probably won't happen. According to my tour guide::
Khe Sanh was the largest US military base in Vietnam with 60,000
troops Not true, 6000 troops, not even close to being the largest.Long
Binh, near Saigon, was a logistics facility and the largest U.S. base
in Vietnam with over 50,000 women and men.
Over 600 Us troops killed during siege. Not true, official count is
just over 600 casualties, of which about 210 are KIAs. Note that
there are contesting figures, none are in the 600+ range.
It was commanded by General Westmoreland. Not true, it was commanded
by Colonel David E. Lownds, regimental commander of 26th Marines.
Fidel Castro built a bridge on the Cam Ro in 1973, about 13 kilometers from Khe Sanh as a humanitarian gesture to help aid supplies down the Ho Chi Minh Trail. This I believe is true.
The USA has made over 700 unsuccessful assassination attempts on the humanitarian, Fidel Castro. Are you kidding me? 700? I can find no record of this anywhere.
The siege lasted 98 days. Not true, actually 77days
Also, truthfully, the siege wasn't really a siege in the literal sense
of the word. Supplies were delivered by air throughout the siege, casualties were evacuated. Marines arrived for duty, and went home if their tour was up. They even went on scheduled R&R during the siege.
To see Khe Sanh in it's present day state is to wonder what the hell
the US had in mind to begin with. It was and is today the middle of
Hwy 9 was never an open path to Khe Sanh.. It was only open during
the entire course of the war for a very brief few months.. The fact
that the base had to be supplied by air during the siege was nothing
new. The base was always supplied by air throughout it's existence.
- Pros:None, really. Either you have a need to experience it or you don't
- Cons:A lot of Communist propaganda rubbish
- In a nutshell:Only of interest to military history buffs?

NEW YORK -- Don't fret, Jets fans. Brett Favre's playing streak appears safe.
A source close to Favre told ESPN's Ed Werder the New York Jets quarterback's sprained left ankle was "very sore" early Tuesday evening, but Favre told his coaches and teammates to assume that he will extend his NFL record of consecutive starts to 257 games Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals despite confronting a short week of preparation and recovery.
Favre rolled his ankle during the third quarter of the Jets' 48-29 loss at San Diego on Monday night, but he remained in the game until Kellen Clemens replaced him with two minutes left in a 48-29 loss to the San Diego Chargers.
Coach Eric Mangini wasn't overly concerned about the injury.
"Brett usually plays," Mangini said Tuesday, "and I would anticipate the same."
Favre was limping noticeably after the injury and in the locker room after the game.
"It's just understanding him and I think we have a good plan in place whenever guys get injured, so I feel pretty comfortable with the process," Mangini said. "And I know that if there's any way that he can play, he'll definitely play."
While Favre has no doubt played with worse injuries during his streak, it has seldom, if ever, been so imperative that he be able to participate in a full week of practice since he continues to try to become comfortable with new teammates in a system totally foreign to him. So, unlike if he were still with the Packers, he might be required to do more than simply be healthy enough to play Sunday.
Mangini said Favre received some treatment on the ankle when the team arrived home early Tuesday morning, and the quarterback was scheduled for more later in the evening.
Favre said after the game that X-rays came out OK -- meaning there was no break. The players had the day off from speaking with the media, and Favre is scheduled for his weekly news conference Wednesday morning.
Favre was lifted for Clemens before the Jets' final offensive possession, but it was more because the game was out of hand at that point.
Favre was inconsistent against the Chargers, going 30-of-42 for 271 yards and three touchdowns, but also threw two interceptions, including one returned 52 yards for a score by defensive back Antonio Cromartie. He and some of his receivers appeared out of sync at times, something Favre has warned would take some time to perfect after playing in Green Bay's offensive system for the past 16 seasons.
"I think there's been progress each week," Mangini said. "We threw the ball quite a bit [Monday] night and there's going to be some times where when you put the ball up in volume, you're going to have turnovers. Brett's made a lot of great plays, sort of ad-lib type plays and the receivers are getting more and more used to that and I think he's getting more and more used to the receivers. As you go along and get the additional reps, that tends to naturally improve."
Mangini bemoaned a few other turnovers, including a fumble by running back Thomas Jones, that turned the momentum in the Chargers' favor.
"I thought we were moving the ball pretty effectively throughout the first half, and then we had the turnover for a touchdown," Mangini said. "That was the case in the first half, some positive drives punctuated by the turnovers. Whenever you have that happen, it's not going to have a good result."
After New York cut the deficit to 17-14 on Laveranues Coles' 3-yard touchdown catch early in the second quarter, the Jets tried to catch the Chargers off guard by trying an onside kick. After a perfectly placed bounce by kicker Jay Feely, special-teams standout Wallace Wright got his hands on the ball but lost it and San Diego recovered. Five plays later, the Chargers made it a 10-point game and Mangini was roundly criticized for the call after the game.
"In that situation, I would definitely do it again if it was the same situation," Mangini said. "We didn't execute as well as we should've."
The Jets also clearly missed the presence of run-stopping nose tackle Kris Jenkins, who left in the first quarter with a back injury. San Diego finished with 107 yards on the ground and was able to convert on third down numerous times late in the game.
"There were times [Monday] night where we thought Kris could come back in," Mangini said. "It just didn't get to the point where we were ready to do that. He was close, definitely, throughout the course of the game, so I'm hoping with time and treatment, that'll move along pretty well."
Mangini said punter Ben Graham, re-signed less than a week after he was released, was in San Diego working out with former NFL punter and fellow Aussie Darren Bennett when he called him late last week. "He didn't even have to get on a flight," Mangini said. "He was already there, and I thought he did a good job." Graham dropped both of his punts inside the Chargers' 20 for no returns while replacing the injured Reggie Hodges. Mangini said the Jets will carry both Graham and Hodges on the roster "for the short term and see where we are."

How Much Cash Can You Bring Into Thailand?
23 replies to this topic
Posted 2009-04-30 17:01:40
Hi All,
Can anyone give precise info about how much cash you can legitimately bring into Thailand? I am British, going back to visit family in May, and in view of currency volitility I thought this time instead of doing International Transactions via Banks, I would bring the cash I normally need to live on here to last for the next six months or so.
I believe whatever I bring, it is advisable to have a letter from my UK Bank confirming that the amount withdrawn is from a legitimate source. The last thing I would need is a problem with Thai customs/ Immigration on arrival!! I was thinking of bringing about 10,000 quid, by the way. Is this OK or not?

As much as you like.. Just don't expect to take it all home with you if you meet a 'nice girl'

Bringing 10 Grand cash out of the UK is likely to set of the alarm bells, so that letter may prove handy at Heathrow
Posted 2009-04-30 18:11:36
There may be a limit on the amount you can bring in without having to declare it.
There's nothing on the TM6 about how much money you're carrying, so maybe there isn't a limit.
Ask the Thai Embassy or Consulate when you get your visa.
Posted 2009-04-30 18:17:07
As far as I know, there is no limit to the amount of money you can bring into Thailand. There are, however, restrictions about bringing it out.
You might want to consider bringing that considerable amount of money in the form of traveler's checks. You get a better exchange rate here in Thailand and it's safer. Some banks don't charge a commission if you buy TC in large amounts. I never had to pay commission when buying Amexco TC.
Don't buy Thai Baht in the UK. The exchange rate here is much better.
Posted 2009-04-30 18:22:37
You can bring an unlimited amount of money into Thailand, however if it is more than 20,000 USD you must declare it. Note that your own country also will have regulations about taking money out of the country.
Bringing large sums of cash will always raise suspicion.

Thanks for replies so far...but maybe I wasnt very clear....I live here and have for five years, its not holiday cash, and, no, having lived here this long it sure as hel_l isnt going to end up with a bargirl!!
Its a genuine query about bringing money in to live on.

hi post man pat, no limits on entering thailand, the only problem the thai wife and i had was at this side, customs asked if i had any cash, i said yes, they siad how much< i said 8k, they hit the roof, follow me sir!!!! in to a small room examined all the money, wanted to know even my shoe size, thought they were going to keep it !!!!!! they said anything over 5k has to be declared at customs, if i bought any of it back over 5k had to declare that as well, horrible start to our holiday, ohh never bought any back !!!!!!!
Posted 2009-04-30 18:40:09
8K of what currency? The rules state that you can take in they amount worth of 20,000 USD without having to declare it. More and you are in violation if you don't declare.
Posted 2009-04-30 18:41:25
BOT website - I've only read it in Thai - but it makes it quite clear thast there is NO limit on the amount of THai Baht cash that maybe brought into the country without decelaration.
The issue you willhave to deal with is the customs excise of the coutnry you are taking it out of e.g. UK Customs & Excise will want to see paperwork associated with the export of any large sum, and the Uncle Sam has a similar rule in respect of large sums of U$D.
If you can't support it with legit paperwork, good chance it will be confiscated - well, UK C&E will for sure take it away from you. I dont know what the USA limit is, for the UK I think red flag go up with anything above about Sterling 10K.
I do about 4 trips a year to the UK with a 6 figure sum of cash (to pay for agricultural equipment) and everytime I declare it (both on departure from Thailand, and arrival UK side) I get asked a 1001 questions and get quizzed on the supporting paperwork(especialy because its coming from Thailand - with all the connetations associated with cash from South East Asia).
But so long as you have paperwork showing the origin (ie. withdrawal from own bank account, or similar) and a plausible explination (i.e. property, apartment, house, car purchase ... or whatever), you should be fine. Just keep in mind - UK C&E have enourmous powers when it comes to confiscation and prying into your computer and paperwork in your baggage - without having to get a search warrant.
Posted 2009-04-30 18:49:01
I have posted the link to the customs website in post number 6 that says you do have to declare it. Who to believe? In my opinion it makes sence to require declaration if you bring in more then a certain ammount. But that's just me.
Posted 2009-04-30 19:09:58
In fact the threshold is £1,000 cash. More than that and HMRC can seize it at their whim and insist that you convince them that you came by the money lawfully (which includes proving that you have declared/paid for income tax purposes. If you fail to meet their criteria they may apply for a confiscation order under the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002. Beware - they do not need to show grounds for suspicion. I recommend taking any large sums by travellers cheque including a copy of the purchase receipt against a bank account in your own name. Direct transfer is the other alternative, but requires a receiving account. This is an area in which cash is no longer King.

Not quite what the BOT website says - yes, who to believe, because on the Thai Customs website you have noted, I see it first says:
For a passenger who has the following only:
Green Channel - no decleration)
Personal belonging in reasonable amount for owners use and the total value not exceeding 10,000 baht.
No clarification on the above if its in respect of TB specifically - or across the board (i.e. in respect of any currency)
.. further down we read:
Currency Limitation
For Thai currency, the amount of Baht 50,000 or more must be reported on departure to Customs, except those traveling to Lao PDR., Myanmar, Cambodia, Malaysia, and Vietnam are allowed to take out Thai currency not exceeding 500,000 Baht.
..... thats pretty clear.
"For Foreign currency, any person who brings or takes and aggregate amount of foreign currency exceeding USD 20,000 or its equivalent out of or into the Kingdom of Thailand shall declare such amount of foreign currency to Customs. Failure to declare or make false declaration is a criminal offence".
Now read what it says on the BOT website - and I am translating here to the best of my ability:
"A person who brings into, or takes out of Thailand a total amount of foreign currency (note: the operative word here is foreign currency - and there's no mistake about that i.e. I'm 100% sure I have not misread/mis-translated that) exceeding USD 20 000 needs to declare this to a customs officer@.
It goes onto say (and this was the OP's original question, was it not? i.e. how much can be brought into the country in TB):
"There is no restriction on the amount of Thai Baht that may be brought into, or taken out of the country."
I think that what may appear at first to be differances, is really in respect of amounts to be decleared or not decleared, versus the rule regards amounts in general (immaterial of declearation or non-decleration).

Not true,UK exchange controls dictate that anything over and above 10,000 sterling should be declared and source of funds proven,12,500 Euros for most of EEC but I think you may find Thai Customs and Immigration a little less generous on this count!
If I was you I'd check with Thai embassy in UK for exact amounts.

2008 Mitt Needs Michigan… Desperately
posted by January 14 at 15:47 PMon
Posted by Ryan S. Jackson
Tuesday's primary in Michigan won't really matter to the Democratsthe state was stripped of Democratic National Convention delegates after it decided to move up the date of its primary, and has been boycotted by most of the field of Democratic contenders. On the Michigan ballot, the three leading liberal lights are Clinton, Kucinich, and Uncommitted. However, Michigan could play a decisive role in the Republican fight, sending one of the most beloved of the conservative cast members stumbling back to Massachusetts.
Mitt Romney needs to win something, anything, to continue to justify his well-coiffed presence in the race, and his father's old stomping ground of Michigan could be that magic state that saves "Mitt-stravaganza '08" from an early and ignoble end.
Here's the late numbers, from Politico GOP campaign embed Jonathan Martin:
The breakdown:
McCain: 27
Romney: 26
Huckabee: 19
Giuliani: 6
Thompson: 5
Paul: 4
The poll was taken Wednesday through Sunday, so it includes McCain's New Hampshire bounce.
Predictably, McCain is doing well among indies and Dems while Romney leads among Republicans.
Also worth noting is that McCain has a strong precedent in the state (having beaten Bush there in 2000) and Martin reports that Huckabee may be quietly and effectively weaving his folksy spell on Michigan's evangelical voters, often thought to be part of the Romney base.
For what its worth, Romney claims he will continue, even if it means a third silver medalor worse.

LOS ANGELES - Joe Lieberman's nomination Wednesday night was hailed by some delegates as a milestone of religious tolerance, but many admit they have a big job in selling him to fundamentalists swing voters back home.
Lieberman, the first Jew nominated to national office by a major political party, accepted the Democrats' call here before 35,000 enthusiastic partisans on the 40th anniversary of John Kennedy's nomination in the same city as the first Catholic standard bearer. Kennedy was on the minds of delegates as the Connecticut senator crossed what some had considered a hurdle to the participation of non-Christians in national politics.
"Kennedy broke that when he was elected. The barrier went down, I think forever, and that opened the door for Lieberman, also," said Texas delegate Dally Willis of Midland. "And I think Lieberman will open the door, also, to others."
Willis, age 80, said the night filled him with the same energy as the Kennedy nomination. But will other members of the Church of Christ congregation he belongs to back home feel the same way?
"That's hard to answer, but you know if they really believe in the American principles of fairness, I don't think it will be" a difficult decision to vote for a Jew, he said.
Delegates feel it's their responsibility to stress those values with their friends and neighbors after the convention ends Thursday night.
"It's our job to keep reminding folks we are a tolerant nation," said delegate Flo Rosse, of Hilton Head, S.C.
Lieberman's reputation for standing up for his convictions will appeal to conservatives in the South and West, Rosse said. He was the first senator to condemn President Clinton's affair with Monica Lewinsky. He has spoken out against violent and sexual material in songs, movies and television shows, and he even missed the state convention that nominated him to the senate 12 years ago because it occurred during the Jewish Sabbath.
Besides the religious question, Lieberman also could have a difficult time winning over blacks because of votes he cast on affirmative action. He met with members of the Black Caucus to the Democratic National Committee on Tuesday to explain that he favors the preference policy but opposes strict quotas.
Delegates who heard him came away convinced.
"There was some concern at first on his votes in the past, but I think he clarified that, and we understand now where he is coming from on voting the way he did," said Iris Lawrence, a black county commissioner and convention delegate from Amarillo. "He stated that if he becomes the vice president, he will vote with the president."
He told them of being a member of the Freedom Riders in the 1960s who went to the South to register blacks to vote, and he explained that being a Jew gave him a perspective similar to blacks.
"With his experience because of the civil rights movement and because of the discrimination that he himself has encountered that will make him better able to understand the needs of the majority of blacks," Lawrence said.
Blacks won't have a hard time supporting Lieberman, according to Al Edwards, chairman of the Black Caucus to the Democratic National Committee.
"The press is trying to take over the vice president choice and find some excuse to discredit him, and it's not so," said Edwards, who is also a state representative from Houston. "I don't have - and I think I speak for the majority of African-Americans - I don't have any problems with Joe Lieberman. I think he brings a winning combination to the ticket."
Democrats are confident that Gore and Lieberman will prevail by sticking to the issues like Social Security, health care and education where their party has an advantage over Republicans in polls.
"If they don't accept what we say, they can look at the facts because we are going to work real hard to get out the facts," said Suzan Gentry, a delegate from Odessa. "The vice president is not the president. The ones that are really looking at the facts and the issues, for them (his religion and past positions) are not really going to be the issue."

Season Statistics
North Texas-Utah Box Score
Sep 6, 2013
DENTON, Texas - Facing its second Pac-12 opponent of the season, the Mean Green volleyball team could not find the magic touch late in the first couple of sets, falling to Utah 3-0 (22-25, 19-25, 25-21,16-25).
The first set proved the most fruitful for North Texas as an Amy Henard and Courtney Windham assisted block sparked a small run for North Texas when it was down 16-22. The rally fell short in the end as the Utes finished out the set with the win.
The second set also showed promise for NT in the form of a Hanna Forst kill midway through the set. But once again, Utah pulled ahead in the end.
But the Mean Green was not finished fighting in the third set in front of its always-raucous home crowd. NT stormed from four down to take a 15-12 lead at the halfway point of the set.
Following sophomore Analisse Shannon's monster kill late, the Mean Green never looked back and finished off the set in fashion.
NT flew out of the gate early in the fourth set, quickly taking an 8-4 lead riding off its third set momentum. But the Mean Green was not able to hold off a furious Utah attack in the second half of the set.
North Texas will play again on Saturday, Sept. 7, at 11 a.m. against Northwestern State in the second day of the North Texas Invitational.

Skip to comments.Ed Hale got the divorcee decree of Dunham vs Obama Sr.
Posted on 01/02/2009 1:16:10 PM PST by patriot08
Ed Hale of Plains Radio has secured a copy of the Dunham/Obama divorce decree as promised. He has registered this at the courthouse and has turned the document over to lawyers who are reported to be happy and enthused over the contents.
This is the first page. This is all that can be divulged at this time as those who have seen the decree are sworn to silence. You may hear information about it tonight on Ed's plainsradio show.
Sorry, I misread your post. Mea Culpa.
"Could it be that Barry Hussein Soetoro was receiving foreign aid as a foreign student with Indonesian citizenship?"
That's EXACTLY what I've been wondering for awhile now! Because that's what his daddy was using to pay for his education. How much you bet that's the case and that's why Obama refuses to disclose his college records.
Someone is covering for him too.
Let's look at all the differences between the Arthur case and the Obama case -
Both had rumors and accusations made against them but it seems that is where the similiarities end.
Obama is admittingly born of a foreign father and admits to having duel citizenship at birth thus creating a controversy on the definition of a natural born citizen. Arthur did not have this issue to deal with.
Obama also has an accusation against him that he was adopted and made an Indonesian citizen with some documentary evidence already and very possibly more documentary evidence to follow involving his Indonesian passport. Arthur also did not have any similiar issue to deal with.
Obama was elected and Arthur was not.
The media today is more vast and the people through the internet have much more resources available to them than during Arthur's day. - And ye that does matter as to how you were trying to make it seem that the Arthur case may teach us something as to how it may effect us. In this case there is more potential for investigation and coverage than there was in the case of Arthur. So there can obviously be much different outcomes involved as well.
Looks to me like a lot of someones are covering for him. Including half the entire United States, and a fair number of Freepers!
There is a general record somewhere that list poeple who entered through various ports....We found our ancestors who came in at Galveston when it was not a part of the US....Greenbacks...Illegally made their way up the Mississippi and the Ohio rivers till they got to the Falls at Louisville.
So, whaddyathink? Any there there in the divorce papers or confidence that more concrete info exists that caps dear leader off at the knees ?
Gum? Something worse than gum! (I just skip over it's comments.)
1) No one has proven that we ever had a President in Office who was not qualified to be in office.
2) If we want to entertain a hypothetical that Chester A. Arthur was a President in Office who was not qualified to be in office, we could, just for grins.
3) Constitutional provisions for President of the United States are affected by Constitutional Amendments, which require 2/3 of the states to approve.
4) Having Chester A. Arthur serve as president is not the same as passing a Constitutional Amendment.
5) So, no, the Constitutional provisions for President of the United States were not affected in any way by having a President in Office who was not qualified to be in office.
Well, Berg asserts the very same thing that I'm saying — in his court case, by telling the court that there are no laws that can require Obama to prove any more than he has already done through the system as he's gone through it.
Therefore Berg is asking the court (in his case) to intervene because of what he suspect is true about Obama.
That's getting right down to the basics of what he's saying..
Now, the question the courts will have to decide is if — in one case here and now, they should ask more of this one candidate than has been asked of the others (in the past) — and furthermore — if it is even *legally required* to ask any more than they have already asked of him.
So, yes... the courts will have to determine that... and we'll see for sure on that issue...
We can play the guessing games all day long about what the court will do — but I'm not really worried about what the court will do, because I'm sure that they will apply the law equally across the board as it would be for any candidate. And I'm sure that the courts will only take information that is proven. So, if it's not proven — then it will be like the unproven qualifications for President Chester Arthur (when he wasn't qualified to be President, but still was President). And if it is proven then it will be taken care of and that will be fine.
But, the courts better hurry up, because January 20th is coming up pretty quick. After that, it will have to be Congress who gets in the act in order to remove a President...
No, it has to do with whether the people are paying attention or not. People pay more attention to the president than the vice-president. We're trying to focus on the president before it's too late.
Let's play this thought experiment a little further.
What if McCain won and then died in office? What would people say about how well Palin was scrutinized? The MSM focused on her children, her children's children, her husband, her clothes, her accent...
Did they ask about her birth location? Why not? Was it because they didn't doubt it, or because they knew with certainty, or because they didn't care because they felt Obama was a shoo-in, or something else? Should they have done something different regarding Palin, and Biden, than was done this time around? What should we do in 2012 to prevent these questions from arising in the future?
As Thomas Paine would say, what do we owe to Posterity?
I thought he was born in the US, but of a non-citizen father, who wasn't naturalized until well after Chester was born. The allegations of foreign birth never played out. Thus there was no cause for challenging him as not natural, except on the basis of having a non-citizen father. Now of course some have said that would make him not natural born, but there's at least some disagreement on that score and it was not pursued after he became Vice President nor after he succeeded to the President when President James Garfield was assassinated.
But, my "what if" scenario assumed that your "must prove eligibility laws, which I of course support, resulted in revelation that Obama was indeed not eligible. Different situation, different effect.
Thanks for the rest of your answers...
And with this — "No one has proven that we ever had a President in Office who was not qualified to be in office."
That seems to be our current problem then, doesn't it...
"Sorry. Those who have seen it promised Ed not to divulge any information"
Well, sorry, then, because we have been told by more than one con artist that something existed and it never materialized. Why wait? If there is something out there then show ot; otherwise, just shut the Hell up and stop being an attention whore.
What are they supposed to be saying nay? So far, this is all drum roll and no show.
You should really catch up to the more current posts in the 900's or so, LOL!
"And yet....here YOU are....
wasting your time.
Ironic....to say the least."
That's not fair to say to him at all. I watched Ed spit on people who support him and advertised for him for months now. He didn't give them the time of day this afternoon.
Ed hasn't come up with one thing that will keep that bum out of office. NOT ONE. All he's done is string people along with his BS tactics and it's pissin people off. Rightly so. If he gave a damn about this country as much as he claims to, he wouldn't be playing games with the American public so he could get people listening to his station tonight. He's in it for the money.
Ed is the reason why the media doesn't take this matter seriously and that's the truth.
I've been listening to his BS since Korir, then Leo is in hiding, the big Islamo scare that was out to kill Leo. The suspicious call from Washington that Bush is going to call the troops because the SCOTUS is going to keep Obum out of the office, yadda yadda. ALL BS! You'd have to be glutton for punishment or awfully gullible to keep stock in that station.
I believe the name was David A. Larson listed as the submitter of info on the Dunham family when I checked it last year.
You said:
But, the courts better hurry up, because January 20th is coming up pretty quick. After that, it will have to be Congress who gets in the act in order to remove a President...
No matter when the Court were to rule that Obama is ineligible you can bet your bottom dollar that Congress will get invovled, IMO.
That was rude and crude.
I'm just the messenger. No call for that.
You'd think it would have to be the port of Honolulu that Ed is referring to.
If Ann came back to Hawaii to file for the divorce, which is clearly the case, then she'd be going to the Honolulu port from Indonesia.
Not-to-mention, Ed's PI was in Hawaii to get the Divorce Decree and then fumbled upon this discovery.
He better hope he gets to it quickly, otherwise Obama will get to it first, if he hasn't already.
Let's hope Ed is smart enough to secure things before anyone else can get to it first.

The link to the neighbor of the supposed "birth announcement" house can be found at:
The neighbor has lived next door since pre-1961.
thank you
"Mental anguish" or "emotional cruelty" were common grounds in the days before "no-fault" divorce. They didn't take much to prove if uncontested, didn't carry any criminal penalty, and would be accepted in jurisdictions where "irreconcilable differences" wasn't enough of a reason.
That would depend on how far into the future the People found out that they were allegedly duped.
I'm still researching Arthur, but if decades passed, the people might not be as incensed over it as they might if the president were still in office when the truth were revealed.
I'm assuming that that we didn't have www.chesterarthur1885.com during his presidency (but I could be wrong).
Even if Orland and Thelma Lefforge had rented the home out it is in an exremely expensive area, the most expensive zip code in all of Hawaii. It was too expensive for a bank employee and her furniture salesman husband to rent and even more so for two starving University students to rent. Obama Sr at that time was living in a small, single story home located at 625 11th Ave., while the Dunhams were living at 2277 Kamehameha Ave.
I believe grandma, as mortgage administrator at the "white bank of Hawaii", knew it was a safe address which she could use to register the birth with the Dept of Vital Stats which in turn generated the birth announcement. I haven't been able to confirm the date when Orland Lefforge returned to teach at UH at Manoa as the University hasn't responded to my request for that info.
The back yard neighbor to that address has lived there since before 1961 and stated the Obamas never lived there!
Was it possible to determine the date of that submission?
If the courts do not require him to produce his documents, we will make sure that the issue does not die and that history will hang a cloud over his presidency. There is more than one way to "make" someone do something.
On the part where Obama has stated things which you say deal with the definition of natural born, I can see where a judicial pronouncement on what that means in very specific detail can be helpful. It would appear — since these details were admitted — that our "system" did not think it mattered. It will be interesting to see if the courts think it matters. We'll see how they take up this particular part of it. But, it's clear that our system has allowed it. The question then comes down to whether a court will even address it and if they do, will they come to a different conclusion than our system has, thus far? That's a big question...
As far as any accusations that will actually make a difference, in this particular instance, it all comes down to whether any evidence that will be accepted by a court can and will be produced. That remains to be seen. By the time frame we have for Obama taking office, it's getting quite close and it doesn't look very good. After that, it will be in the hands of Congress to take any action to remove the President.
And in the issue of being elected or not — as far as I understand, it's merely "being President" that is at issue — that is can you *even* occupy the office if you're not qualified. That's what I've heard from others, so it apparently doesn't matter whether you're elected, or like Johnson, had to take office under unfortunate circumstances...
Now, all these details that you say *differ* from President Arthur and Obama — will actually disappear (and not be "different") if Obama does serve as President and no court decides on the issue before taking office and the Congress doesn't remove him and he goes through his term in office. He'll be just like President Arthur — if that future works out that way.
The way you're talking about — that it's different — is only if one of these things "works" and he's either prevented from being in office or removed from office. Absent that and absent anything that works — he's just like President Arthur. So, time will tell...
The media today is more vast and the people through the internet have much more resources available to them than during Arthurs day. - And ye that does matter as to how you were trying to make it seem that the Arthur case may teach us something as to how it may effect us. In this case there is more potential for investigation and coverage than there was in the case of Arthur. So there can obviously be much different outcomes involved as well.
I am having a keyboard problem and decided to correct and repost this.
It's not clear to me that she *could* have registered the birth with a US Embassy or Consulate, because she was not eligible to pass citizenship to a child born outside the country. So why would the embassy register the birth of a foreign national?
Now I don't know if she would have needed to show a copy of the foreign, that is Kenyan/British, BC to prove that he was indeed her child and not some baby she was smuggling in. This might have been made even more likely by the fact that he was a black baby and she was white. If she did have to show a foregin BC, what the folks at the Port of Entry might have would be a copy of the original Kenyan/British BC? That's way I read the thing about the BC, that it was not a US BC, but rather a Kenyan/British Colonial one. I missed the part about it being at the port of entry. Which could be Seattle after a hop from Kenya to London maybe to Labrador and on to Seattle. (Wouldn't that have been fun with a brand new baby?) Then it would have been on to Hawaii from there. Other POEs are obviously also possible.
My son goes to UCLA. People in Brentwood and Westwood, etc. rent part of their houses to students or in some cases they rent out mother-in-law cottages.
It is difficult to track the facts and suppositions on this issue. We need another alamo-girl.
Now that Ed has announced to the world where to look, two things are going to happen:
a. Someone in the media is going to rush to get the scoop faster than slow Ed; or
b. Someone in the bot-camp is going to rush and bury it and the source with grandma's ashes.

That house today is worth $700,000.00.
The house next door is worth one and a half million dollars.
Back in 61 had the house had to be at least $100,000.00
now do you think two newlyweds going to college could afford to rent this house. Gas was about 25 to 29 cents too.
It seems as if the whole point you are trying to make is that this issue may notbe seen through to the point of getting justice.
Is that it?
I do not think that anyone here thinks that there is any guarantee that we will get justice here.
My point is that thecase of Arthu really does very little to teach us anything in regards to how this all will go.
You said — "If the courts do not require him to produce his documents, we will make sure that the issue does not die and that history will hang a cloud over his presidency. There is more than one way to make someone do something."
Why would the courts be wrong about it. I thought that the Supreme Court gave the final word on the matter. I'm more than willing to let the Supreme Court determine what the situation is for Obama. That's their job. And if they decide one way — that's fine and if they decide the other way — that's fine too — because that's what we all invest the Supreme Court as their job. They are the last word, even if (at times) it's "no word" at all... :-)
So, are you saying you wouldn't accept the Supreme Court's actions if you don't believe they should decide the way that they do?
I'm willing to accept the answer from them — so I don't know why you wouldn't be willing to.
Ann attended UW from August 1961 through spring 1962 but she didn't return to HI until early 1963.(she earned a total of 20 credits from UW) When she returned to HI in 1963 she lived in #110 1427 Alexander St., an apartment her parents had rented for her. When she registered for classes for spring 1963 at UH she moved in with her parents at 2277 Kamehameha Ave.
None of Obama Sr's friends ever mentioned Ann and she wasn't present in pictures taken of Sr when he attended parties. It wasn't until 2008 when Neil Abercrombie began to mention Ann being with Obama Sr. In 2007 he mentioned he was a friend of Obama Sr only!
"I dont think they had photocopiers back then, did they?"
They probably used a mimeograph machine.
You said — "No matter when the Court were to rule that Obama is ineligible you can bet your bottom dollar that Congress will get invovled, IMO."
Well, I've got a real big question about whether the Supreme Court will get involved in the matter once it is past January 20th. I hear people say that they will, but I kinda doubt that they will, since I figure that Congress is able to appoint a Special Prosecutor and they have the ability to impeach and convict (if so required) — and so the Supreme Court may say that Congress must follow through with any determination or investigation after January 20th.
That is my take on the matter. But, it's not too far away from January 20th, so it won't be too long of a wait to see...
Short answer: It wouldn't change the Constitution at all.
Longer answer: If it had been known when Arthur was in office, there would have been legislation and contemporaneous commentaries, which wouldn't have changed the Constitution, but would have shed some light on in how it was interpreted at the time. There would also have been litigation, which would have set some sort of precedent.
If one unqualified president slipped through undetected, it doesn't change the law, any more than one killer who isn't caught invalidates the murder statute.
Geeze, what a total waste of time. Still nothing concrete about where BHO was born.
Alternate interpretation: after a century of no fraud, the "system" fell asleep and no one bothered to ask the question, opening the "system" up to fraud. When the fraud was committed, the "system" went into denial because no one thought such a fraud could be committed.
Some people even looked at the "system" and said "no one has proven he's not qualified," when "he" controls the proof and refuses to produce it.
Refusal to produce proof of qualification is in and of itself sufficient enough reason to prevent him from taking office and we'll see if 5 judges have the courage to say so.
She was asked a direct question about her mother's date of death and evaded giving a direct answer. She didn't say yes she said she wishes all the females of the family could sit and stare at the moon. Maya is the one who gave details of her mother's death and yet the article was pulled. Why? Maya also said that her grandma wore 4 inch heels and she would even wear those heels to go inspect grandpa's lawn mowing. They lived in an apartment so what lawn mowing?
A precedent that would have been in place for today's Supreme Court to refer to.
So, do we owe it to future presidents, courts, and voters to set that precendent once and for all, so it doesn't happen a second (or possibly third) time?
His sister's place of birth was not mentioned in the divorce decree from Lolo Soetoro, and from what we've seen today, his place of birth is not mentioned in the divorce from BHO Sr decree, either, although it could be in the missing pages I suppose.
Well it will see be long to wait and see what will happen afterwards. A major difference in Obama's case is the amount of resources that are starting to be used to turn up details of his past. If a major breakthrough is made even a year after he is in office that proves he was born in Kenya or was an Indonesian citizen (and traveled to Pakistan on an Indonesian passport) tere is going to be an outcry for the Court and the Congress to address this issue.
It was never proven at the time that he did not qualify, but apparently he didn't qualify (at least, after the fact some say that and say it's proven). So, it's possible that Obama may never be proven to not qualify — and maybe "after the fact" (after he's left office, it may be proven..., who knows...).
The thing that is at issue is that the allegations are not proven (first item) and then (second item) a person takes the office of President (under those continuing allegations of not being qualified [but not proven]).
It sort of sounds like what may be happening with Obama is what happened with President Arthur.
The allegations (for President Arthur) are that he was born in Canada (and now someone else says that there were questions of being born elsewhere, other than Canada, outside of the U.S.). So, there were multiple allegations, apparently.
Yes and they were real photographic images using mercury. If you creased the copy, it would show a silver line in the crease. The Xerox came in 1962 IIRC, and Kodak and IBM shortly thereafter. By 1965 they were commonplace.
If the court or the congress do not review his qualifications, then thousands of us will pursue the matter as best we can.
Just a suggestion, but if anyone wants to not rely on Ed Hale and his crazy promises, let's start digging up information on
"PORT OF ENTRY BIRTH CERTIFICATE" before Google is clogged with blogs using it and posting that phrase everywhere.
There's already enough info on the web showing that there are many service agencies in states that will register the birth of a foreign child if you're an American and I'm starting there now.

An excerpt from www.HouseOfNames.com archives copyright © 2000 - 2016
The Irish name Morrissey has a long Gaelic heritage to its credit. The original Gaelic form of the name Morrissey is O Muirgheasa, which is derived from the words muir, meaning sea, and geas, meaning action.
The surname Morrissey was first found in County Sligo (Irish: Sligeach), in the province of Connacht in Northwestern Ireland.
Within the archives researched, many different spelling variations of the surname Morrissey were found. These included One reason for the many variations is that scribes and church officials often spelled an individual's name as it sounded. This imprecise method often led to many versions. Morrissey, O'Morrissey and others.
This web page shows only a small excerpt of our Morrissey research. Another 371 words (26 lines of text) are included under the topic Early Morrissey History in all our PDF Extended History products and printed products wherever possible.
More information is included under the topic Early Morrissey Notables in all our PDF Extended History products and printed products wherever possible.
A massive amount of Ireland's native population left the island in the 19th century for North America and Australia in hopes of finding more opportunities and an escape from discrimination and oppression. A great portion of these migrants arrived on the eastern shores of the North American continent. Although they were generally poor and destitute, and, therefore, again discriminated against, these Irish people were heartily welcomed for the hard labor involved in the construction of railroads, canals, roadways, and buildings. Many others were put to work in the newly established factories or agricultural projects that were so essential to the development of what would become two of the wealthiest nations in the world. The Great Potato Famine during the late 1840s initiated the largest wave of Iris immigration. Early North American immigration and passenger lists have revealed a number of people bearing the name Morrissey or a variant listed above:
Morrissey Settlers in United States in the 19th Century
Morrissey Settlers in Canada in the 19th Century
Morrissey Settlers in Australia in the 19th Century
The motto was originally a war cry or slogan. Mottoes first began to be shown with arms in the 14th and 15th centuries, but were not in general use until the 17th century. Thus the oldest coats of arms generally do not include a motto. Mottoes seldom form part of the grant of arms: Under most heraldic authorities, a motto is an optional component of the coat of arms, and can be added to or changed at will; many families have chosen not to display a motto.
Motto: Si Deus nobiscum qui contra nos
Motto Translation: If God be with us, who can be against us.

The Morrissey Family Crest was acquired from the Houseofnames.com archives. The Morrissey Family Crest was drawn according to heraldic standards based on published blazons. We generally include the oldest published family crest once associated with each surname.

Hello everyone. My sister just got back from Thailand with the news that she is getting married May next year. I also found out yesterday that we are pregnant with our second child. Although I can't quite believe it, the timing couldn't be better. We have been trying for three months and were going to stop for a while after this month as we didn't want to have the baby's birthday too close to Jessica(2) and then Christmas. I did one of those early tests and the first time it was negative, but two days later there was a faint line. I confirmed it with the doctor this morning, so it looks like we are due around the 1st of October 2004. I haven't had too many signs as yet, a bit of a funny tummy in the afternoons, and really strange dreams at night. does anyone else get that?
30/1/04 I felt really sick for a couple of days, however I have been taking Blackmores morning sickness tablets, and I am feeling much better. They are a combination of vitamin B and ginger and I really find thay make a difference. I have had a bit more engergy too, so i have started going through the house and sorting things out. I'm sure I will need to do it again before the baby arrives, but at least it shouldn't be as bad.
I have booked into Boxhill hospital. I have my first appointment with the Midwife on the 2nd of March and one with the doctor on the 8th of march. I am a little anxious about telling them my past history, but I guess I will feel better once it has been discussed.

The Liberals (3rd Version)
Cardboard, gesso and pins
Part 1: 323 x 220 x 120 cm Part 2: 279 x 220 x 105 cm
Toby Ziegler's paintings and sculptures engage with ideas of the exotic and synthetic. Fabricating his images and sculptural blueprints on a computer, traditional motifs such as landscapes, still lifes, and cultural artefacts are removed from the familiarity of popular consciousness and reconfigured as templates of abstracted information. Inspired by a set of Victorian Staffordshire figurines, The Liberals (3rd Version) is made from intersecting cardboard panels; the kitsch subject matter and lowly materials take on a monumental quality, like futuristically designed sphinxes.

Americans may be worrying about layoffs and a second recession, but it's made them only moderately less openhanded in back-to-school spending, which has quietly assumed the status of a major economic barometer and event.
Our forefathers were strong, independent entrepreneurs, who made their own way and depended on no one to survive. These pioneers raised their own food, hunted or trapped the meat that they put on the tables and delivered their own babies. If they had extra vegetables or meat, they would trade for weapons, tools or cloth to make their clothing. Yes, life was tough, but these were proud, self-determined people.

A few months ago, Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner predicted with unshakable confidence that there was "no risk" of a downgrade of U.S. debt. In fact, he argued, "things are better than they've been if you want to think about the prospects for improving our long-term fiscal position."

This yacht offers an amazing sensation of speed.thanks to its slender lines, horizontal & parallel elliptical windows as well as lower deck square windows that are synonymous with the Azimut S range. These features coupledwith a feeling of freedom provided by a hardtop that opens up, bathing the entire main deck in natural light.
Our offered,very well equiped Azimut 43 S is in good owner used conditions and has only 300 engine hours.
The internal decor, designed by Carlo Galeazzi, in collaboration with Azimut?s Styling Department, is modern and refined. The exceptional luminosity granted by the large windows is enhanced by light shades of high-tech fabrics and by the interwoven fibres used on the door panelling of the cabins and wardrobes while being contrasted by the dark tones of wenge used for the floors and furnishings.
