Report Supreme Court Trial Looms, but Thaksin May Walk Free Again
"Former Thai Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra might avoid a return to jail following his Supreme Court trial next month, ....." What's that strange word that's linked to "Shinawara" and "jail" - "MIGHT"????? -

Rejected Non O marriage visa application at CW because "haven't been married long enough".
Thank you for your reply. This is the first I've heard of this. I researched quite a bit before going to avoid pitfalls and never came across this information. When you say, "There is no make a new appointment get a new immigration officer option", what would be the obstacle(s) and/ or repercussions for that course of action (if you know)? Thanks -

Crime Australian Man Detained for Carrying Grenade Rounds at Phuket Airport
Those are MORTAR rounds - not "grenade rounds". Can they get ANY stupider ? So he was trying to board a domestic flight in Phuket, but they don't say where he was heading. Without knowing where he got those rounds, it's hard to say if it's discarded ammunition from the Vietnam war, or the Cambodian civil war, or even old WW2 munitions. There are many shops around the country that have ancient vehicles and equipment left over from WW2 and Vietnam. I've seen a number of them selling old ammunition cans (they make great tool boxes or for other uses where you need a sturdy, waterproof container). He may have browsed one of those shops and found the rounds in a can. Or sitting on a shelf for that matter. I would not be surprised. The 82mm round appears to be weathered, but not rusted. Likely stored in someone's shed for the last 50 years. The 60mm round appears to be quite deteriorated. Likely spent a lot of time in the ground before being dug up. Without the original paint and markings, it's hard to tell from that photo if those are inert (i.e. training rounds with no explosive warheads) or if they are live rounds. Training rounds are generally (in the West) painted blue so that everyone knows they aren't "live". And you normally only find them on training ranges. If they are live, they could have explosive, white phosphorus or "parachute flare" components. Due to their age, the warhead components could be very unstable. But he must have known what they were and to bring them on ANY flight was incredibly stupid. "Back in the day" people (soldiers) loved finding the discarded 82mm parachute flare rounds. When fired, the entire round blasts into the sky for a couple hundred meters then the "parachute" pops open and the flare ignites, lighting up a large area of the ground below it for a few minutes. The lower casing of the round falls back to the ground obviously but it's "clean" (no explosives or phosphorus) and the "cup" makes a great beer stein. (Though in Canada it's illegal to remove those from a training range. Yet a lot of people seemed to have them in their "man caves" back then.) -

The High Cost of Breathing
Your basic physics is correct - your basic understanding of this product is not. The difference is astonishing. it’s definitely one of those ‘don’t knock it until you’ve tried it’ things…. Don’t judge from a position of ignorance. Try ‘opening each of your nostrils wider) (pulling open with thumb & finger on each side then breathing through your nose - you’ll immediately notice the difference) -
