Also one of the best antioxidant sources next to the little red bean and a good source of protein. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxygen_radical_absorbance_capacity
Also known as a musical fruit because the more you eat the more you toot, the more you toot, the better you feel, so eat beans with every meal! or some variation of that... its good for your heart so cut a ...... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beans,_Beans,_the_Musical_Fruit

Is anyone growing Guar bean in Thailand? Its making farmers rich in nearby India as the oil and gas fracking industry has a new and ever increasing demand for guar gum made from the plants. Demand will soar from $2 billion per year now to $200 billion in 8 years and 90% is now grown in India. There is an interesting CNN video on Guar=black gold here. http://money.cnn.com/2012/12/21/news/economy/epa-fracking/index.html?iid=HP_LN

10 days before the race they use six 747 cargo jets to fly in 1.2 million pounds of equipment to run the race. Prior to the race local politicians get free trips to other races to observe the monster traffic jams and need for hotels etc. to house the groupies that follow F1 races around the world. It just lasts for a little longer than one weekend. I suspect that if this comes off in BKK, the race track will need to be built not too far from an airport. I think the taxpayer gets taken to the cleaners and the locals spend a lot of their income on an event that doesn't do them any good except to pump a temporary adrenaline charge. http://www.kvue.com/news/First-F-1-Cargo-Jet-arrives-and-public-safety-plan-announced-177746921.html

This British billionaire comes in and sucks up money from the locals and spits out air and noise pollution. He did this recently in Texas and even got $25+ million of government tax money from the politicians.
The only way I would go to see one of his races is if they stretch him out as a speed bump in the first lap.

As with the Nuclear Power Industry, University and other supposedly independent scientific study lead investigators are often on the take from industry sources to taint the outcome of studies regarding their operations. Here is a recent example of fracking investigators caught with conflicts of interest. http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2012-12-06/texas-energy-institute-head-quits-amid-fracking-study-conflicts.html
I have been fooled by misleading study results in the past and will have to rely more on common sense in the future than to believe these paid shills.

High speed trains in Thailand? What's the rush? Safe and modern yes but I don't see the need for excessive speed.

Cause of death was stated by the authorities to be suicide, but no evidence disclosed of the basis for conclusion of a suicide. Where have I heard that before? Is it so unthinkable that she could have been done in by someone else?

US federal government only gets (taxes) 15% of GDP now- the lowest in 60 years, but it spends on weapons systems, wars, nuclear power, etc. like a drunken sailor so business can profit from the spending. See page 10 of the current PDF from US Treasury at http://www.treasury.gov/resource-center/data-chart-center/Documents/20120502_EconomicGrowth.pdf
The wars kill and disable our warriors but the US politicians promise to take care of them and their families for life. These costly entitlements are never funded by the Presidents and Legislatures who start wars with the promise the nation will balance the budget 5 years+ after they leave office. In the US, earnings over $110k per year are exempt from payroll taxes for supporting the disabled, widows and orphans, so the elites can start wars and don't have to pay for the results of their actions unless they choose to enlist. Now, of course, they don't want to pay for the earned entitlements because they might actually have to close some tax loopholes they use and pay effective tax rates more than the 14% Romney pays rather then than the 35%+ max tax rate most never pay.

US needs to focus on its tax policy.

I get tested in US - free/Total with SHBG, etc. and test just below the low benchmark range. PSA is low so no problem there. Doc prescribes a compounded medication of 200mg/gm T. cream now to apply to upper arm and femoral artery on upper legs where I see blood vein through skin, rotating application sites each day but started with 100mg/gm. He never discussed shots with me. I am inconsistent with applying it so not getting the results I could. $90 for a six month supply for me in US.

Fracking chemicals used by oil and gas drillers are killing cows on land too. Starts will their tails falling off or they just die within a couple of days of injesting these highly toxic chemicals. Think about what this toxic brew is doing to our water supply as there is no way to get it all back out of the well hole and safely dispose of the millions of gallons needed to frack a well. http://www.thenation.com/print/article/171504/fracking-our-food-supply

Photharam, Thailand, at least that's what they claim on the sign in the town and the provincial slogan for Ratchaburi Province is Beautiful women of Photharam.

Incredible comment by former HP CEO.
It was the auditor's fault that HP paid $11 billion for a company that gave away its useless software to people who didn't want it and then projected future sales from that customer base. Common sense apparently wasn't very common at HP then or its financial advisers.

Stay on Topic? My pen rai, variety is the spice of life.

Another massive fraud of investors. Hewlett Packard is in the S&P 500 so investors may indirectly be hit by this fraud from British vaporware company Autonomy. Poor due diligence.

This is a month old and probably no more than another Tea Party political smear campaign that didn't work.

RIP man! Condolences to friends and family. Looks like he got a quantity discount on some Thai booze and just wanted to Ty Won On with a little extra for later. I hope they give you a proper autopsy to find out for sure.

I think he should go fly a kite instead. Costs much less and puts to use many years of Thai kite flying expertise. http://en.wikipedia....ne_wind_turbine
Germans, Americans, Canadians and others with Nukes are now pursuing alternative energy like kite generated wind power- far safer and less costly than any Nuke.
http://nextbigfuture...ricans-and.html
Japan and Germany have pulled the plug on Nukes. Thailand would be wasting money on Nuke projects and would lead its country into self destruction.
Problem with the Nuke industry is with its business practices of trying to buy off regulators.

Weird And Wonderful Farms
in Farming in Thailand Forum

Yes, and the price is volatile as the oil companies try to find alternatives due to the rapid rise in guar bean prices from $1/Pound to $12/Pound. It sounds like guar powder is just ground up guar beans and not difficult to do. The oil and gas companies probably just buy the powder and mix it with their other chemicals on site before injecting it into the oil/gas wells being drilled. With fracking spreading to places like China, etc. new supply channels should be developing in producing countries probably by the same wholesalers in the ag and food processor businesses locally since it is even now used in ice cream. http://www.marketplace.org/topics/sustainability/how-fracking-affects-bean-grown-india
Farming is just risky business so diversification should help. Maybe those beans won't grow well in Thailand?
