Well it seem a fad is going around, the ice bucket challenge. If challenged you should dumb a bucket of Ice water over your head or write a check to the ALS foundation.
Now I was never a hugh fan of George Bush, but some times he got it right. And I think he nailed this (worth watching regardless of your polictical beliefs:

I hired a guy in 2005 to replace me in Iraq. During a later tour in 2009 he changed, his voice became gruff. He was diagnosed with ALS. He died last year and had been confined to a wheel chair. This is a horrid wasting condition.

One of the suppliers of valves available in most any Buriram Builders Merchants retailer has sent me this video. The Sanwa Products group asked if I wanted to request this "spokes model" to attend the Buriram Home | Garden & Tool Expo at Ruangsangthai this October. Perhaps this "presenter" is the person the Buriram and Surin expats want to communicate with about valves and fittings at a booth inside Ruangsangthai or perhaps they would prefer a technical expert who speaks and understands English to be sent from Bangkok to Buriram. Your comments are most welcome.
