WHO IS PAD ?

The PAD is The People's Alliance for Democracy also called the National Liberation Alliance, the National Liberation Party, and the Yellow Shirts was originally a coalition of protesters against Thaksin Shinawatra, the then Prime Minister of Thailand. Its leaders included media mogul Sondhi Limthongkul, politician Chamlong Srimuang, and General Saprang Kalayanamitr. It was one of the lead players in the Thailand political crisis from 2005 to 2006. Composed mostly of middle-class Bangkok residents, the PAD established its own political party, the Mass Party, and dissolved itself shortly after the military coup that overthrew Thaksin.The People's Alliance for Democracy had its source in weekly public tapings of Sondhi Limthongkul's weekly political talk show 'Muang Thai Rai Sapda' or Thailand Weekly. Attendance grew after the talkshow was dropped by Channel 9 and Sondhi started webcasting the show on his website. As the tone grew more contradictious, the tapings gradually turned into protests against the government. The PAD was formally established on February 8, 2006 with a five person central committee consisting of Sondhi Limthongkul, Chamlong Srimuang,Activist Phiphob Thongchai,State enterprise labor leader Somsak Kosaisuuk,University lecturer Somkeit Pongpaibul.The People's Alliance for Democracy has been re-established in Thailand on March 28, 2008 at Thammasat University.Several issues was raised by the PAD, including the Prime Minister Samak Sundaravej acting like Thaksin Shinawatra's sockpuppet to protect his interests, People's Power Party being Thai Rak Thai party puppet, and their attempt to amend the 2007 Constitution. Among the amendment proposed was discharge which would dissolve a political party if one of the executives was involved in vote buying. Yongyuth Tiyapairat, People's Power Party executive who was also the Parliament president after the election, was being tried for vote buying.Yongyuth was later found guilty by the Supreme Court on July 8, 2008.

The rally attracted ten thousand supporters.As the rally went on, PAD announced their effort to collect signatures to request removal house representatives and senates who supported the amendment on May 30, 2008.The next day Samak expressed on NBT television channel his intention to dissolve the rally by force.

He will meet the King today to report what is going on."

BLYTHE FOREVER

As I know when I was young I had many barbies in my room. I was always request my mother bought the doll for me when we went to department store.However I stopped to play barbies when I am in Pathom 5.I did not picked it up anymore because I thought in that time I must grow up.In a present when I heard that Thailand had a new doll name "Blythe" It is so cute for everyone who want to play and collect it.I think it look like me, maybe my eyes is very big.About the price it is too expensive.I got one doll that my friend bought it for me.So, this is the story of Blythe how it became popular.Manufactured by Kenner in 1972, the original Blythe was designed by Marvin Glass & Associates, one of the world's foremost toy design studios. When the Toy Industry Hall of Fame was established in 1984, He was in the first group inducted, ten years after his death. Kenner was bought out by Tonka Toys, which in turn was bought out by Hasbro in 1980-1989. And that is how Hasbro has come to own the Blythe property.In 1972, children found the large eyes that changed from green to pink to blue to orange with the pull of the drawstring at the back of Blythe's head a bit on the scary side. Blythe was produced for only one year, but it is now apparent that she was ahead of her time. For many years, Blythe was a curiosity that only doll collectors were interested. Then a friend introduced Gina Garan to Blythe, thinking that Gina looked like the doll. Gina had just been given an old camera and she needed to test it. Her first photos using that camera were of Blythe. Gina, who works as a video and TV producer, started carrying at least one of her Blythes wherever she went on her travels around the world and took many photos.At the opening of an exhibition for the International artists in Soho, New York, Gina showed her photos to Junko Wong. Junko took these photos to Parco and made a presentation for an exhibition and as a "virtual model" for Parco's innovative sales promotions. This is Blythe was published by Chronicle Books.Blythe continued as Parco's image girl through the spring and into the summer. The price for vintage Blythes jumped to thousands of dollars U.S.In June, the first of the Neo-Blythes - produced by Takara went on the market. The launch of the neo-Blythes was in conjunction with a photo exhibition by Gina Garan. Gina made the trip from New York for the launch and exhibition.The Parco Limited Edition, sold out in less than an hour, was followed by the Mondrian, and then Rosie Red, Holly Wood, All Gold In One, Kozy Kape Inspired, Aztec Arrival Inspired, Sunday Best, and in conjunction with the first year anniversary of the neo-Blythes, Miss Anniversary Blythe.

LiTTLe DoNaLD DuCK..

Donald Duck is an animated cartoon and comic book character from Walt Disney Productions. Donald is a white anthropomorphic duck with yellow-orange bill, legs and feet. He usually wears a sailor shirt, cap, and a red or black bow tie, but no pants. Donald's most famous trait is his easily provoked and occasionally explosive temper. Donald's voice, one of the most identifiable voices in all of animation, was performed by voice actor Clarence "Ducky" Nash up to 1983. During World War II, film audiences were looking for brasher, edgier cartoon characters. It is no coincidence that the same era that saw the birth and rise of Bug Bunny also saw Donald Duck's popularity soar. By 1949, Donald had surpassed Mickey Mouse as Disney's most popular character. The funniest comic that I like is “Donald Gets Drafted”. According to it Donald has flat feet and is unable to distinguish between the colors green and blue, which is a type of color blindness. Donald was also painted on the side of war planes in the 2nd world war, pilots had their planes painted Donald’s fiercely look. Eventually, there were 128 Donald Duck cartoons, but he also approved in a number if other with has good intentions. He refuses to let anyone of anything stand in his way. It does not matter how much humiliation the world dishes out on him, Donald will take of and come back for more. He is a loser, not a quitter, and he will go down fighting. This is a duck with one short fuse, and amazing command of language and when things don’t go right, he goes ballistic, I have to agree that the Donald’s cartoon world was a favorite of mine growing up and I still love his antics today. Donald Duck is really some character to enjoy. This Donald would be barely recognizable by today’s audiences. The early Donald Duck with his long bill and stick legs was funny but not likable. Gradually over the years, Donald became shorter and rounder on the theory that a chubby figure is cuter and more likable. His eyes became more expressive, his bills shorter and his head longer in order to provide a winder rage of subtle expressions, But even in his first film, he sported the same sailor suit and unforgettable quack that have been his trademark for over 5 century.
