Yes, the greedy well-connected ripped out half the mangroves in order to set up filthy, destructive, polluting ( but extremely lucrative) shrimp farms.
Back in 93 and recently, shrimp disease has caused heavy die-offs in the industry, a sign of trouble for large scale shrimp industry. I saw many farms sit idle last year. They build more roads with the fill of the new shrimp farms so they can exploit further areas. Used to be a rare Fish Cat, a bobcat like mammal , but now almost wiped out.

Like California, the rivers are being cemented and no natural flow of sand to replenish. The mangroves have been eliminated and damaged severely too. Imagine if the gulf had constant large surf like the Pacific, this would be the end of all beaches and just cement drop-offs, such as you will be seeing more of in the future.

I thought you were talking about the 3.03 cal Enfield.

 My boy was born with a double vsd.  The septa is the wall separating both chambers of the heart, much like the wall between both of our nostrils. The surgeons have to patch and sew up the tiny holes so scar tissue will form and patch the holes. Usually the doctors let it heal on it's own but the size, number and location dictate surgery.

stop all trade as well

Yes, I suppose that would be one's feeling....IF one believes that the current pro-Palestinian propaganda is 100% factual, with no distortions of the truth or outright lies. And, IF one ovelooks the stated goals and historical methods used by each to attain their stated goal.

I, personally, have greater ease in believing Israeli statements as to their intentions, motivations and "what really happened" than I do in believing a sources within a Palestinian government currently headed by President Mahmoud ABBAS who has no political rival, and who to all intents and purposes, is a Yassir Arafat in a suit and tie! Follow that with the accompanying powerful influence of, and likely successor HAMAS parlimentarian Aziz Dweik, who apparently under "Palestinian basic law" is stipulated to be ABBAS's successor in the event of his being unfit or unable to carry out his duties. (see: http://www.foreignpolicy.com/articles/2013/04/19/slow_death_palestinian_democracy_fayyad_abbas), and perhaps you can understand why I am more liable to believe that many of the photos and video clips proclaiming atrocities allegedly commited by Israelis, are staged events, specifically designed to inflame anti-Israeli public feeling.

HAMAS is an organization whose sole goal is the "destruction and erradication of Israel". It is an organization designated by the United States, Canada, the European Union, Jordan , Egypt and Japan as a terrorist organization, while others, such as Iran, Russia, Turkey and China as well as many Arab nations claim them to be non-terrorists in spite of their tactics! Whatever you believe them to be, they openly state their sole goal is the total destruction and erradication of Israel. They have shown themselves to be absent of any morality by way of their historical terroristic tactics of plane hi-jackings, suicide bombings (in many cases using children as the 'bombers") in civilian locations (the more densely populated, the better, locations that included schools and playgrounds) and the continued rocket attacks which replaced suicide bombings after 2007-08 (but only AFTER it became apparent that to continue these suicide attacks would be to bring absolute condemnation from their own people as well as the world!)

ISRAEL is a UN recognized and democratically ruled country whose sole goal is "peace within their borders" Name me one instance of Israel carrying out a plane hijacking, a suicide bombing or a rocket attack, provoked or unprovoked, on any area other than an area from which unrelenting attacks designed to intimidate, demoralize and kill as many of the Israeli populace as possible have been and continue to originate!!

The populace of the Gaza Strip, occupied, governed and used by HAMAS as a launching area for its unapologetic and unrelenting war on Israel are undeniably victims. But just who is their oppressor AND the root cause for their sad plight? HAMAS gets my vote 100%!! Which is why I continue to align myself on the side of Israel while at the same time hoping that a solution to the continued victimization of both Israel and Palestine can be discovered.

Is it possible that you have similar hopes? If so, is it possible that any such hopes would be better realized through convincing all countries that HAMAS is a terrorist organization and therefore not deserving of any direct or indirect support?

When a terrorist act happened, as in 9-11, why did the Palestinians crowd the streets in celebration???? Take out the pal from Palestine after that for me.

My kid is into the GTA-V and it's all he will talk about. Now it's online and he goes ape daily. He is sucking the bandwidth from my own addiction- WORLD of TANKS.

The slowed down internet has made my game stats go down and now i get my tanks blown up often. We both are hopelessly addicted to our games and fight with the mom to keep playing.

I played WOT 6 months ago, just one game and i got hooked. Now i am down to a couple hours daily, but i get up in the middle of the night to play silently, and with the full bandwidth on weekends.

I suppose we both will get burned out but i see/feel the power these game addictions have on people. Gotta go and get my fix now.

Meiji tastes funny and goes sour early, Dutch mill is always good.

 I still remember the Palestinians out celebrating the day after 9-11. Now they are not celebrating!

I insist the wife drives us to Phuket every anniversary, can't believe its 10 years this Xmas.

China needs more rail lines to up the flow of crappy goods that the rest of the world won't accept.

I think they want to tap the organ donor destitution they use on the poor Chinese here.

If you don't invite them, they might invade.

Either you made one of the least likely scenarios ever to happen or your sense of humor this morning is lacking severely.

10 years ago i would agree, but now , things have changed.

If you are on a shoestring budget, you have no right to be here. There are plenty of poor born here and they don't need any more poverty stricken people.

Short eyes, that's what the prisoners call them and they are targets.

Dominos has a 16" (40 cm) diameter, thick crust pizza and with enough toppings it should feed that many people. That would be 4.5 people per pizza, and some old people and children can't eat that much. They have drinks and snacks on the plane too. I think it was a nice thing to do.

Off topic, but Cheyenne Wyoming is often portrayed in Western movies, books, and TV. It sets right at the E. edge of the Rocky Mountains. I'll be traveling through another famous W. town (Laramie Wy.,) and then through Cheyenne next week on my road trip.

Man, don't pass up the chance to get some beefsteak. Wyoming and Montana have the best steaks in the world!!!

What other crap is floating around???

Good show, i think all foreign companies should do business using Thai products. Enough demand and the Chinese junk will disappear from the market.

I see Mr. T owns resorts and the whole southern tip of Koh Chang, even some of the mini islets, which i thought were National park.

Control guns, they can't even control the illegal aliens, say 25-30 million of them. Get some real laws that penalize gun usage in crimes and no parole!!

Paper trails and aerial photographs, many ways to catch these parasites who think they are entitled.

If i could be the General for a day.

Was it 24 karat gold or the 20-22 karat the chinese and Thais like, big difference in price.

Lotta good growing in that area, and jasmine rocks in the white rice world. But i never saw Sa Ket, asked around and people pointed down?
