The idea is to have 2 sets of 3 tables like in this plan

http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=6963322&l=8d696fca6b&id=656045571

so those would be 120 degrees angle, perfect for 2 monitor set ups for my home office. Most likely 60cm width and 80+80cm in length. Would like some wood or kind of wood surface with aluminium legs. Round whole in in the middle where the 3 tables connect for cables.

I have not found this shape tables anywhere so need to build those as custom work, but where? addresses / phone numbers / recommendations highly appreciated!

ok I had company here to clean the pond.... and now its worse than ever.... cant see through the water anymore. I where not home but apparently they just changed the water which we found out to be 6 m3 that might come handy when getting the water pump and filter systems.

Now if someone has phone number in hand for company that does these filters please drop me a line... not sure how long the fish will survive there...

In 2008 alone, nearly 70,000 teenage girls (69,387) had children

That's FAR below the USA rate per capita

Thank you DP25 - I was just thinking about the same thing. Now this is interesting I never been to US so perhaps someone knowing that country better could tell me, but do you think its the same scenario as here? Small villages (perhaps midlands) > alcohol > country music > party > and then uncle happens....

I understand that any number is too big whether its 1 or 70,000, but seems like Thailand has this better under control than US for example, not sure how the figures would show in more civilized countries in Europe.

hmm I do have waterpump or two already... i wonder if i even have filter somewhere.... there must be pump somewhere that the fountain uses and perhaps another one hidden for the water wall.... and then there is one that is not currently in use but that i think only blows oxygen in.

actually i think i know that place at Khamthien... will make a trip there if I could find some help.

my friend used those chemicals and half of his fish died.

Your pond obviously suffers from green algae. We had the same problem for years during rainy season.

In the fish shops at Khamtiang market you can buy chemicals which will kill them but do not harm your fish.

Of course this can only be a short-term solution; for long term Khun Yermanee is right: You need a biological filter. In case you don't want to make it by yourself: You will find qualified advise and help in the same fish shops over there.

Thank you,

I also tried with chemicals years ago but as you said short-term solution.

BTW the 3000 Baht included a 150 watt pump, which has to run 24/7 and NO cleaning the filter.

... sounds good... where i can get company that would do and install this for me.

The problem is that Im not only lazy but im totally incapable to do anything that does not involve computers =)

Would anyone know good handy man to clean my pond... its all green and cant see if i have any fish anymore...

see the pics.... company or guy... urgently before my fish dies

Are we now talking only about CMU or has there been other cases as well?

Hackintosh computers!!! There is no "official" Hackintosh stores in CM. Im occasionally doing those for myself, but would be willing to pay for running machine.

see more here: www.hackintosh.com or www.hackint0sh.org

I had one of these stolen before: http://www.cypher-sec.org/blog/wp-content/plugins/wp-o-matic/cache/7ffad_mini9_hackintosh_8.jpg

So once again Hackintosh: Netbooks, Desktop Computers, HackPads, Laptops...

I think this topic should be under Chiang Mai category rather than here....

One thing I should add. For my surprise the money thing did not work... I think it had something do with her loosing her face and before we got into the numbers we realized that its not gonna work. And yes it looks like its gonna cost me around 200k not including the money i loose not working and not including any possible bribes to the family members.

One interesting thing is that as far as I understood the only way court will informa about the hearing date is posted letters. Apparently one for my address and one to address where my daughter is registered to (Khong Kaen). In Khong Kaen there will be no-one picking up the letter unless some neighbor does. So that could mean that im in the court with my daughter alone??

The good thing is that even if the dinosaur gets to the court room she will for sure loose her temper and try to insult the judges. I hope there are some weapons of her choice available and she can just prove the case herself.

Things changed a little bit and Im now with Ajarn Akarawat.

We will file the case to court tomorrow and take it from there.

What I did not know is that currently my daughter does not have guardian at all... legally grandma is not more an guardian than I. Only court can decide who will be given the guardianship. So that is good news... apparently also once the case is filed to the court (tomorrow) she does not have any right to try to take the girl out of Chiang Mai province where the court hearing will be arranged (neither do I have such a right).

I found a lawyer who is specialized in child custody cases. Meeting today, his English is ok and Thai fluent so should be fine. Things has changed tiny bit and grandma is a little scared of the police and said she is not taking her granddaughter away but still wants to stay here looking after her... so that might mean i got some more time to get the custody. Now the next plan is that I only allow her to stay if she sings the papers that she will not want the custody and agrees that custody should go to me.

thanks for the advices.... by the way... I already tried with money... both with 1 time payment and monthly support for the rest of her life for grandma... did not work at this point she has already lost all rationality

This is the case in short.

My girlfriend (we had our wedding ceremony but failed to get the paper work done) died 1.5 months ago. She left behind 13 year old daughter that has been living with us for past 2.5 years (before that she was raised by her grandma). She is like daughter to me.

After funeral grandma moved to live with us in Chiang Mai and wanted to look after the girl. Everything was ok (never good) until yesterday night when she snapped and after kicking the dogs started beating my daughter. First she broke one hanger into 4 pieces by hitting her so hard with it and once she got wooden stick in her hand I had to go in the middle of it. She was so furious that she would not listen anybody or anything. My daughter was so scared that she pied in her pants... and this has been happening over and over again when she (grandma) higher her voice. I know from my "wife" that grandma used to beat her up frequently when they where living together.

Now after this incident I told that I want her to go back to Khong Kaen and not to stay with us. I had translator coming to my place as well (I speak ok Thai, but cant understand Lao very well). She explained how I felt and that she should leave tomorrow (Monday).

Well grandma snapped again and now she is leaving tomorrow but she is taking my daughter with her. I can not allow this to happen. First of all she would have to quit school and go to work to support grandma, secondly Im seriously scared that she might loose her life if grandma goes crazy again.

Now the plan was this: My daughter asked that she could still go to school tomorrow (btw. she is really scared of the grandma). Then I would go pick her up from there midday and we would go to police and try to get help. She would explain that she does not want to go and that grandma is violent. We would ask for police to also help to remove the grandma from my house (this is very it starts to get dangerous for me as well).

Now the plan is not very good... but its the best I can think of now... as far as I know since both of her parents are dead the grandma is the legal guardian? So it does not look too good for me... also Im not her father (by blood) and I was never even married to her mother (in paper). But her mothers will (unwritten) was that I would take care of her daughter. The doctor at Suan Dok hospital was in the room when we where talking about this and decided to get written will (which did not make it on time to hospital). There might also be some other withnesses that can testify that it was her will that the custody would come to me. How much this counts for - I dont know.

The other thing is... that in the case I get somehow her kept here and grandma removed from Chiang Mai... I would not be surprised that if one night pick up truck comes to my house and punch of red shirts (Issan farmers) comes with bamboo sticks and guns... So Im not sure If we would be safe in Chiang Mai anymore, but thats maeby not to worry yet.

Other family members who might also want the custody if grandma does not get it and ask them to help would be my wife's 4 bothers. From fathers side: grandparents we do not know where they are so apparently not going to get involved and the father is dead also.

So if my chances to get the custody are not too good... even a child custody officers would be better option than grandma.

Please any good advice...

as well as good child custody lawyers in CM... prefer women as it would be easier for my daughter to speak with them.

Hello,

I urgently need a good lawyer for child custody case. By urgently I mean tomorrow morning latest! I would prefer women as it would be easier for my step daughter to speak with women.

Im going to police with my step daughter trying to stop her grandmother taking her to Issan. My time runs out around 5pm tomorrow.

Please sms or pm me with contact details. 081.304.8038

edit: If anyone have some good advice even if not lawyer now would be the time.

well now im interested..... This website has been blocked by ICT

and comment to my previous post i mean 4 x 1 year ED visa.

I can also confirm this story. I have 2 friends who are now in Lao getting Non O visas as CMU failed to provide them with the documents. They overstayed for 1 week due the advice they got from CMU, but eventually decided to flee...

I had 4 year ED visa from Payap with no problems... so I would recommend to look there.

just a small update on this.

I have moved to new house... This house is rather easy target as its on quiet soi... one level house with a lot of windows to brake in.

But now I have 72 years old grandma who never leaves the house and seems to me that never sleeps living with me.... and over sized Rotweiler sleeping in the front garden, hope that will help.

Interesting... I can't see my posts on this topic... are those all deleted? is this topic still open to discussion? (this is more or less test if this message disappears or not).

I understood usually TV admin comments something when messages are deleted?

Couple of links to tell the Victors side of the story:

His official website

RT documentary

now the problem is in this case what media to trust. Russia is not famous for its media rights... US media is massively manipulated by money and those with power. Im coming from Finland which recent years ranks #1 in press freedom: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Press_Freedom_Index#Worldwide_Press_Freedom_Index

.. and that tells more about other countries than mine... there might be press freedom, but that does not mean you could trust what the press is releasing is true.

summasummarum: the man is not convicted yet. I do not trust the Thai courts nor do I trust the US courts. Why the heck he is not taken to Haag ??? I know US would be against it... but that would be the best and most neutral court for this. He has not committed any crime in US... so how can he be taken into criminal court there... Im worried that this guy ends in Guantamo or Guantamo 2 and we never find out the truth.

I know a guy who has done several gardens here in cm some for government buildings some for private. He also did big park project in Qatar. He use to have website but cant find it now. He is specialized in water walls and fountains, ponds and stuff like that... most likely one of the most expensive if not the most expensive here in CM, but he comes with impressive portfolio.

And no I can even remember his name right now, but his wife is "Nikki" and runs Chiang Mai Sabai Apartment on Soi Sukhapibaan 12, Chang Khyen.

And please dont even try to do yourself... here in Thailand very expertise is very inexpensive... im not going to do our plumping work or electricity either.

just bought bkk-yangon (burma) return flights for 1.200 thb.
