  1. I hope this hasnt already been mentioned before but I found it especially interesting.  I have long been a fan of Val Kilmer who I find to be a most unusual character as well as a very under-rated actor.  So sad to see Val now after his bout with throat cancer which has left him half the man he was physically but still incredibly positive mentally.

    This in turn led me to what I consider one of his best performances:  The Doors (1991) and left me wondering just who else could have played the part of Jim Morrison so perfectly.

    He meant that the man hunt  is finished  because they have caught the suspect . 

    I actually read it differently.  I imagine the police are under a hell of a lot of pressure to clear this case because the bean counters are fearful of its effects on the Phuket sandbox.  If I was in that position my thoughts would be that prospective tourists need not have any fears coming to Phuket because the culprit has been caught.

     

    "its finished" I think, was said in very bad taste because I believe it will be a damn long time for it to be finished for the family and friends of the poor victim.

    I get a notice that they can't complete the transaction and the order will say "Payment Pending"

    My wife is also seeing this as a seller.  She had an order from day before yesterday come through with the order status  saying "unpaid" in red.  Never seeing this before we assumed the buyer had not completed the payment part of the order.  Looking further I discovered in the order/customer details it mentioned it was a card transaction but said "payment pending" and "wait for status update"??  Late last night, 24 hours later, the order showed no payment warnings/pendings so I imagined the buyer must have just had some card problem but after reading your post it sounds like an Lazada internal problem.

    Sounds like sciatica to me.  I can't walk normal anymore, but I still do my daily exercise walking 10k . It can be painful, but I try to avoid any medication. 

    Same here.  Started with disc damage about 20 years ago and has now developed into arthritis in lower spine.  Cant be on my feet for more than 10 minutes because pain becomes unbearable.  I wouldnt let them operate (fused spine) back then because couldnt find anyone who was happy with outcome.  I wont use medication because you usually need powerful drugs for back problems....Ive been on slow release morphine, cerebex etc but every pill you take costs you somewhere down the line such as kidney, liver problems etc.  Just have to be careful what I do, lift etc and bare it.

  5. As per usual the powers to be have no idea whats going on in the streets.  I watched a doc the other day on Thailands soaring suicide rates.  One thing they brought up was that the govt was ignoring the plight of the people by not providing help to the poor and those who have lost their jobs.  When they have provided handouts it has only been possible via a smartphone app which most of the poor dont have.

  6. The pot looks way too small for a start.  This leads to the tree being stressed.  Pests and diseases have a much better chance of thriving on a stressed tree/plant because natural defenses are greatly reduced.

     

    First thing I would do would be to put it in the ground with some compost mixed with the fill soil.  Make a solution of 1 teaspoon of baking soda, 2 drops of liquid soap and a drop or two of vegetable oil.  Spray the whole tree, particularly the infected trunk and branches and especially underside of leaves but not in hot sun.  This could be a long term task spraying every 5 to 7 days and dont be afraid to increase the baking soda by small increments each time if results are poor.  The baking soda will also reduce the acidicy which mildew thrives on. 

     

    Lastly I would also spend some time searching on Google for pest and disease symptoms on leaves that include yellow circular spots with black centres.  It somehow rings a bell but I cant remember for what unfortunately.  Some sites include picture charts showing symptoms of disease, pests and mineral deficiencies as well as incorrect Ph levels in the soil.  Good luck.
