The biggest and worst lie in the world. Just how deranged does someone have to be to make such a crass statement? -

Chinese Gambling Kingpin Alleges Abuse in Thai Jail, Claims Spy Role
I am more interested in the Triad, Broken-Tooth. What's his story. Such a romantic soul, having operated in old Macau. Whenever I hear the word TRIAD, serene scenes and memories of reading Clavell well up in me...for example..where I was living in Hong Kong..sitting by the harbor, walking in the mountains...are still all there... From When I first read the book, TaiPan, Before that turkey, XI, ruined the place. I wish I could do it all over again, meaning living in Hong Kong for a few years, starting in 1980. I really ENJOYED TaiPan, the novel, published in 1966, and I think I will now re-read it, just to squeeze as many memories out of my old brain, before it turns completely to mush. Anyway, apparently... This guy BROKEN-TOOTH is a real character. Unfortunately, he is probably not the same romanticized version as those TRIADS populating Clavell's book. And, about Dylan's creation.... That city across the border, one of many similar such on the river bank, looks like a real dump. You gots your DouFuDreg high-rises floating in rice-paddies, maybe a few punishment cells, and...no doubt... Raw Sewage pouring out of the 10s-of-thousands holed up there....due to...maybe.... Lack of sufficient sewage treatment being employed there. They say it could be a Luxury Resort for the SUPER-Duper Rich.... But, IDK...because one would need to be both SUPER and STUPID to want to live there, in the middle of nowhere, and especially to want to live in such an ugly places, which is not something that most rich people are keen on doing. I think maybe keeping this guy alive in jail might be more trouble than it's worth, even for such a FINE and UPSTANDING citizen as one going by the name of "Dylan". Yes, one of his many names is Dylan. Dylan She. Note: Of course, I hope that BROKEN-TOOTH never changes his name. Reminds me too much of Clavell. But, can he sing, or does he sing, in his cell? -

Better Sleep: How to Improve Sleep Quality and Feel More Rested
Buy the highest quality mattress you can afford, it is a small investment that will bring such rich returns, and so many dividends. We bought a high-end latex mattress 15 years ago, and my gal and I have enjoyed it nearly every night since, it is like sleeping on a cloud. -

Former Russian Beauty Queen Faces Harsh Conditions in Thai Immigration Detention
There is always a back-story. Here too no doubt. Bottom line: Don't Overstay. Don't do the crime if you can't do the time. -

Toddler mauled by vicious dog in Ranong, mother demands justice
Yes, I understand. Some people are saying it's the fault of the kids because they were yelling and screaming around the dog. I don't. My point is the dog is the problem. Had kids done this around a Golden Retiriever or other dog with a calm nature, I doubt this sort of thing would have happend.
