I wonder if the glazing has an issue Margaret, it could be crazing that's caused the water to seep through.
I hope you feel much better after sleeping, it's scary what sleep deprivation does to the body.

Mistress Lindsey can never refuse when a foot slave asks her too give them a nice ballkicking. She loves ballbusting and humiliating her slaves as she blow by blow delivers a ball kicking experience they will never forget with her sexy high heels. She wants your nut breaking experience to be a memorable one and this ballbusting Femdom knows what she's doing when she crushes your nuts and then makes her suck her toes afterward.
Mistress Megan walks in and finds her roommate sniffing her stinky sandals and decides that she is going to make him her little foot slave. She sneaks in a hard ballbusting blow to his nuts while wearing her high heels. This ballbusting Femdom then delivers one ballkicking blow after another making her new slaves pain unbearable, she then slides her bare feet out of her shoes and begins violently rubbing her foot over his throbbing cock after all those nut breaking blows forces him to cum all over himself and then leaves him lying on the floor in pain and covered in his own mess.
This will teach you to be late to our session says Mistress Baunfire. She loves giving a good ballkicking a s a form of punishment to her slaves when they are late for a session humiliating her slaves in the process. She pulls her leg back giving a ballbusting follow through as she delivers on of the hardest nut kicking experiences of his life. I'm sure her little slave will never be late for his Mistress Baunfire ever again.

Hi all. So I got really excited tonight when Anthony was showing me this
E-mail he got about something called the Justice Corps. I've heard about it
before and basically, you help people who can't afford legal aid. It sounds
much cooler than my short little discription here, especially since I'm
into crim. Anyway, there was a summer program, and since I am hoping/planning
to be here in the summer, if I can find an apartment I can afford, I'd be
able to do it. They have 30 spots so I may or may not even get selected, but
it sounded awesome!
Its volunteer and you have to get yourself to the place, but they said if
you provide receipts, they'll reimburse for transportation. They'll give you
$1,000 at the end of the completion of 300 hours, 32 a week. So it isn't
much but is something.
So, what's the down side?
Well, as I soon realized, if I'm working for them 32 hours a week, I
wouldn't have much time to work in the high tech center on campus. Hence, I
wouldn't be bringing in much money a month besides my SSI and Social Security
Survivor benefits, which amounts to less than $900 now. If this wasn't
California, that'd be enough, but here, I'd be hard pressed to live off of that.
So dang it! This would be really good experience for me, would be really
interesting, I'd be helping people, and it'd be great to put on a resume. But
I in all likelihood will never find a place I could afford without being
able to work. Ugh!
It'll be hard enough to find a place I can afford even if I can work, since
it won't be a full-time job. So I'm all bummed out now and confused as to
what I'm going to do with myself. If I find an apartment, it'd be great so
I wouldn't have to always move out of the dorm every summer and pay extra
if I wanted to stay on breaks. I could also work this summer, and still go
to other events out here that I wouldn't be able to do if I went home for
the summer. I wouldn't have to have anyone store my stuff while I was gone,
either, and wouldn't have to keep having people help me move in and out of
the dorms at the beginning and end of the years. But if I go to Iowa for the
summer like I always have before, I wouldn't have to ppay for food, rent,
etc. But I wouldn't be getting any experience working or anything, and when
I came back, I'd have to get help moving back into the dorms; and the
cycle continues.
But I'm so worried about affording a place out here. I can get a loan again
for next year and use it to help pay rent/food/other living expenses, and
rehab will help with tuition if financial aid doesn't cover it all, but for
the summer, I'm worried. So
anyway, I've saved what I can but it isn't much since I'll have to make one
and a half more dorm payments, I think about $1,600 worth, before I'd be
moving. How can I afford to even move? How can I afford the security
deposit? How can I afford the rent until I'm back in school? And lots of places
want to see you have two and a half the rent as income, which I won't,
working or not, so I might not even find a place that would rent to me. The
stupid dorms want $400 next month to hold our spot for next year, and its
nonrefundable, so if I pay it and then find a place, that's $400 down the drain.
And even holding the dorm room and keeping the payments at what I'm paying
now, they are ridiculous! I couldn't afford them anymore without a loan,
and I really hate living off of student loans. I'll have to pay them back,
and I'm already paying about $300 a month out in bills to credit cards and my
cell phone.
So this is really stressing me out right now, trying to figure out what to
do and what will be best for me. Why can't I just win the lottery or
something? I guess it'd help if I played the lottery. (smile) Thanks for
listening to my long-winded rant and whine.

I really like the look of this bag, but not really into anymore hand bags. I like to be more hands free. Also does it sit comfortably over the shoulder because it does look a bit bulky. TIA!

Denouncing Antifa
The tide has begun to turn when it comes to Antifa. After eight months we are finally seeing Democrats and liberal pundits denouncing the group and the violence they bring. But as recently as two weeks ago, CNN was routinely defending, normalizing, and even treating the group as heroes.

It's just me, this old man, silence and the mountains. Just me, this old man (who doesn't respond to my sumimasen), the silence, the mountains--and the heat, and the waiting, and the contrition and the dread. I can't believe this is happening. I am sitting on a not-uncomfortable molded plastic seat on a near-deserted platform in the west Kantō backwater of Ogose. You've never heard of it? Well neither had I until twenty minutes ago, when I boarded the wrong train and ended up here. I can tell you zip about it, save for two things: I had to go through a forest to get here (which was a nice change of scenery from the bustle and ostentatiousness of Harajuku) and it's about half an hour in the wrong direction from my job interview—and I'm already half an hour late.
Should I even bother to show up for a job interview an hour late? I guess so. I mean, I have to pay fifteen bucks round-trip train fare either way. In the meantime, more people are straggling onto the platform. I think the train is coming soon, to bear me back east….Onward, to my mighty destiny!

J-K Dy CM in the dock over illegal appointments
Jammu and Kashmir State Accountability Commission (SAC) has ordered a regular enquiry into the alleged role of deputy chief minister Tara Chand in the illegal appointments in urban local bodies.india Updated: May 14, 2013 13:10 IST
Jammu and Kashmir State Accountability Commission (SAC) has ordered a regular enquiry into the alleged role of deputy chief minister Tara Chand in the illegal appointments in urban local bodies.
A Division bench of the Commission, comprising chairman Justice (retd) Y P Nargotra and Justice (retd) Hakim Imtiyaz Hussain, yesterday directed for a regular enquiry into the allegations of misuse of official position by Chand in the illegal recruitments carried out during his tenure as the Urban Development Minister.
Since the commission does not have any investigating officials at present, the Bench requested Advocate General of the state M I Qadri to assist the SAC in the enquiry.
The commission also issued a notice to the deputy chief minister with the direction to respond to allegations within six weeks.
The case has been listed for hearing on July 8.
Thousands of illegal appointments in Urban local bodies across the state came to the fore last year. The appointment letters were issued by executive officers or presidents of the municipal committees of various areas in the state in violation of the rules.
A complaint was filed before the SAC by one Saaqib Mushtaq who alleged that Chand had "misused his official position and by means of corruption, favouritism and nepotism and appointed scores of people in public employment."
The Bench, in its order, observed that Chand had not denied the charges in statement but had claimed to have taken cognisance of the illegal appointments and ordered two inquiries.
"Though an inquiry has been ordered in the matter, the conspicuous silence of the respondent about his role in the appointments cited above, makes the respondent prima facie liable for violation of the rules," the bench said in the order.
"Copies of the engagement orders, placed on file as annexure to the complaint, also show prima facie that these engagements have been made in gross violation of the rules," the bench added.

We service all makes and models of sewing machines and sergers. From the 1950's right through to the current day. You can drop off your machine any time and we'll be more than happy to get it to the technician. Turn around time is approx. 7-10 days.
Some of the common issues that our technician will be happy to address:
- Machine not picking up the bobbin thread.
- Tension is too tight or too loose.
- Machine is running slow or sluggish.
- Lots of thread bunching up underneath the fabric.
- Breaking needles.
- Machine is just sewing 'poorly'.
Here are a few suggestions to try before bringing your machine in for repair:
- If there is thread bunching up and knotting underneath the fabric, try re-threading the top thread on the machine.
- All purpose thread tension setting is '4'. If the thread on top seems too loose, try tightening the tension by turning the dial to a higher number. The higher the number, the higher the tensio.
- Make sure you have a new needle in and a needle that is appropriate for the type of sewing you are doing. If you have any questions about which type of needle you should be using, please feel free to call and ask. We'll be more than happy to help you select the proper needle type.
- Make sure your thread is new. Thread can rot over time and will break when used in your sewing machine.
- And finally make sure that your machine is threaded properly. Check with your owners manual to make sure the top and bobbin thread are correct and not caught anywhere they shouldn't be.
The cost for your sewing machine to be service is a flat rate of $65. The only additional cost would be parts, if they were necessary. Most issues can be resolved with a basic tune up and do not require any additional parts.
Please make sure to drop your machine off at the shop with the power cord, foot pedal, bobbin basket (if applicable) and a sample of what it's doing (if you can). Machines can be dropped off at any time and you do not need to call ahead. Turn around time is approx. 7-10 days although most machines are back much sooner.
There is a 30 day guarantee on all services. If for any reason you experience any problems with your machine after you've picked it up please bring it right back and we will be happy to help you.
If you have any questions please call us at (914) 962-3328.

Plan your Financial future.
How is your financial future? I ask myself all the time...
God tells us in his word that the plans of the diligent will lead to profit, however those who are hasty or fail to plan will certainly lead to poverty.
In order to obtain our financial healing, we must implement a plan for our finances. This way, unexpected expenses, unemployment or illness will not cause our financial house to be shaken.
No matter how little you earn, you should have a financial plan.
Its not always easy, especially when you have a lot of responsibilities but we can do it. One thing that I always do is WRITE! There is great power in writing, it is very essential to write down things most especially your financial goals.
I love to write, it calms me down. If I feel tensed financially, I write down a budget or a plan and do some calculations and the tension just goes away.
So I want to encourage you today to write down your goals, because there is nothing as powerful as putting your thoughts on paper. And don't just stop there, DECLARE and DECREE it.
Wake up each morning declaring your financial goals will come to pass.
Post your goals somewhere you can see them daily and allow your goals to be a constant reminder of where you are going, It would encourage you when deciding whether to purchase a pair of shoes or save.
Understand that making these small sacrifices would reduce your financial burden and allow you to live a financial healing lifestyle.
If you missed out on Commandment 1, read it HERE and let me know what you think.
Thanks for your devotion to this blog, God bless you abundantly.
Since you have been raised to new life with Christ, set your sights on the realities of heaven, where Christ sits in the place of honor at God's right hand. Think about the things of heaven, not the things of earth.
-Colossians 3:1-2 NLT

A scout from Maulden joined 30,000 other youngsters from nearly every country in the world at the 23rd World Scout Jamboree in Japan.
Months of planning has led to scouts from over 200 countries arrived in Kirara-hama to experience a trip of a lifetime, with a spectacular opening ceremony starting the adventure.
From the main stage, a sea of young people making new friends, laughing and celebrating could be seen. A rainbow of flags from the UK to Brazil, USA to Pakistan, and Indonesia to Kenya could be seen being waved proudly in peace and harmony.
Jeremy Young, who took part in a tea ceremony with a local family, said: "I was quite nervous before the home hospitality. I was worried about doing the wrong thing and offending the family. I was hosted by the local County Commissioner and took part in a tea ceremony as well as learning lots about Japan. At the tea ceremony we put on happy coats and walked into a room set with a long table cloth, mugs and a stove at each end. Each place also had sweets which were eaten before the tea was drunk. We also got to meet all ages from the scout group with a festival full food and games, including somen noodle soup and octopus dumplings. One of the highlights was visiting a local shrine where I felt welcomed into the culture and trusted to be there as it was a special place for my host who guided me though what to do. It was amazing to experience Japanese culture and their way of life first hand and the way I live at home, such as, taking shoes off before entering the house, helping to keep it clean."
Adult volunteer, Helen Draycott said: "It's been great to see the scouts grow and develop over the last two years. To see them interacting with scouts from all over the world is one of the best experiences I've had in scouting."
Chief Scout Bear Grylls said: "While lots of people know that Scouting is all about adventure, they often don't realise that adult volunteers get to do just as much as our young members through their involvement. The World Scout Jamboree is a great example of this. Nearly 4,000 Scouts from across the UK are meeting 26,000 others from around the world and taking part in amazing adventures. That is why I love Scouting so much!"

Update on Senate Bill 26
Senate Bill 26: What Is It All About?
Today the Legislature passed a bill, SB 26, to prevent government overspending and cap the amount that can be drawn from our state's earnings reserve account. Old versions of this bill included damaging income tax provisions, industry tax hikes and lowered amounts for the Permanent Fund Dividend. Those provisions are no longer in this bill. After listening to Alaskans and our experts at the Permanent Fund Corporation, it became clear to us that the most important measure to pass this year is a spending cap to prevent future budgets from jeopardizing the health of the PFD and the overall Permanent Fund.
What SB 26 does:
– Maintains the current formula for the PFD
– Caps the amount of the state's assets that can be used to fund government
– Helps protect the value of the Permanent Fund by preserving inflation proofing provisions
These three provisions set a solid structure for the state moving forward and protect the PFD for future generations of Alaskans. This is a totally different bill than Alaskans have seen previously, and our office is here to answer any questions you might have! Please feel free to give us a call, or shoot us an email with anything we can help with.
All my best,

Your Guide to Kitchen Cabinet Refacing
Refinishing Kitchen Cabinets: Get a Whole New Look By Staining Oak Kitchen Cabinetsby Leslie Smith
Face Your Kitchen Columnist
Refinishing kitchen cabinets is seldom easier than by staining oak kitchen cabinets.
Ready: Prep for Kitchen Renovations
The bulk of all home improvement projects is the prep work. Just get used to it and don't jump ahead. There is nothing worse than realizing in the middle of a do-it-yourself project that your shortcuts were a bad idea.
Get your oak kitchen cabinets ready by sanding off any varnish. You can only stain darker. Lightening kitchen cabinets that have already been stained dark is an uphill battle. You can sand off a great deal, but might never get the darker hue out of the grain. You can try some lacquer thinner or just resort to whitewash.
Either way, the oak kitchen cabinets need to be cleaned completely and sanded smooth. Of course, take the cabinet doors off and drawers out.
Set: Have the Right Cabinet Refacing Supplies on Hand
Oak kitchen cabinets take stain really well. Oak is a hardwood, meaning it is very durable and makes sense for kitchen cabinets. If you already have oak kitchen cabinets, there is no reason to buy replacement kitchen cabinet doors. You're all set and ready for the stain.
Choose a stain that does not include a sealant if you are not sure how deep you want to make the color. Once a sealant is applied, new stain will not saturate to add a deeper color. There are many colors and styles of stain from which to choose.
You can choose a transparent stain to see the grain or an opaque stain to lose the grain. Talk to a professional at your home center to choose either a gel, wiping, spray, water-based liquid stain or something else.
Go: Beyond Staining Oak Kitchen Cabinets
Now that you are done refinishing kitchen cabinets, rethink the hardware. Is it time to change it and finish the look? Have fun and enjoy your new look.

已经差不多三个星期没有写了。那这几个星期里发生什麽呢?简单来说, 应付一个很无聊的人。其实,原本是一个小事情。但是,有些自大的人就是要无事生有,把事情越搞越大,弄到大家都不高兴。到最后,吃亏的又不是我... 所以我说那个人很无聊, 而且令我觉得那个人很幼稚。
OK, enough of mandarin for the day...
FF IOI Mall saw quite a lot of activities over the last few week in conjunction with the club's relaunch. One of the things we had was our Nov special Belly Dancing classes. Overall response for the class was good... now the headache is how to slot Belly Dancing into the regular schedule:)
We also had the special Freestyle Step with ABBA's music on Thurs 13 Nov, taught by Jeremy and Steven.
Then the last week of November was quite an eventful week, with 3 events happening. First, we had a special GX INVASION NIGHT on 25 November with a couple of GX managers guest teaching the classes in the club. The response was fantastic with BODYBALANCE, BODYSTEP, BODYPUMP, BODYCOMBAT classes getting very good numbers.
2 days later, it was Retro Extravaganze BODYJAM with Ayzei and Juwita.
Finally, we ended November with a special 90-min BODYCOMBAT Muay Thay Challenge with Janis, Cheng and me teaching on Sunday 30 Nov at 1.40pm. No pics for this one was response also was good with 35 people attending the class. Was it tough? I think it could've been harder... but Janis did complain of sore legs on Monday night.
So what's coming in December?
Les Mills Q4 Launch coming to Fitness First 23 - 28 December 2008. Coming celebrate the last few days of 2008 with a BANG!!!

I am testing concurrent updates on Grails domain objects. I am consistently seeing stale object data, including version, when fetching a domain object using dynamic finders in a session & thread exclusive region as if the newly fetched object is an old object in cache.
As I understand Grails/Hibernate, Dynamic finders should ensure we fetch data from the database and not a cache. In order to determine if caching was the problem, I disabled the hibernate cache as follows:
hibernate { cache.use_second_level_cache = false cache.use_query_cache = false // cache.region.factory_class = 'net.sf.ehcache.hibernate.EhCacheRegionFactory' // Hibernate 3 cache.region.factory_class = 'org.hibernate.cache.ehcache.EhCacheRegionFactory' // Hibernate 4 singleSession = true // configure OSIV singleSession mode flush.mode = 'manual' // OSIV session flush mode outside of transactional context }
Despite disabling caching I am still seeing stale object data. How can this possibly happen? I am currently running on Grails version 2.5.4
Example code flow:
1) Session 1 enters exclusive region, fetches domain object with dynamic finder and saves update. version = 0 before update, version = 1 after update.
2) Session 2 enters exclusive region, fetches domain object with dynamic finder and saves update. version = 1 before update, version = 2 after update.
3) Session 1 renters exclusive region and fetches the domain object with a dynamic finder. The domain object version = 1 before update even though the database clearly indicates version = 2. Upon saving we see an optimistic locking failure occurs showing the version is actually 2.

ExperienceAs a parent, a teacher, and a coach, I believe I have plenty to offer students. In 2001, I began instructing night classes at a local business school in accounting, computer software, and business. For over 14 years, I have been teaching computer science at a Pittsburgh middle school. I also have experience working as a coach with elementary school children. These experiences have not only allowed me to work with people of all ages from different backgrounds, but also forced me to learn more about each subject that is being taught within my schools. Each year presents its own set of challenges for me to tackle, and I work efficiently to make sure my students and I overcome each obstacle.

Never trust the darkness.
It floods through the smallest holes surrounding your soul, poking fun at your misery.
It will consume you, you have to be strong even when all you have left is your hopes and dream.
You still have a chance, and if all fails then deem it dead.

Using some BRS coral glue and some two part putty I built this arch out of Tonga branch. It should look pretty nice in the new tank and give the fish something to navigate around. I really want to build some neat rock structures for the tank this time around.

Yaw Brakes
Electro-mechanical yaw brakes deployed in wind turbines ensure safe holding of the nacelle in the wind and yawing with partial braking force or with brake completely released. The brakes are powered by an electric motor; clamping force is built up actively via a gear system.
The braking force is maintained without additional power. The new yaw brake system clearly demonstrates the logical continuation of our development strategy; compact design, robust construction and the absence of external moving parts form the basis for a product that rounds off HANNING & KAHL's portfolio. All yaw brakes in a nacelle can be activated individually and independently of each other and are thus redundant components which increase the availability of the braking system.
Control options
- The upstream wind turbine controller activates the components and evaluates the position indicators.
- Each brake is equipped with a simple controller, the wind turbine controller only transmits a brake / release command.
- Each brake is equipped with an intelligent controller which performs extensive self-diagnosis and exchanges status data with the wind turbine controller via a bus system.

*Update* This post didn't get a lot of views and going through the budget is really boring, so I probably won't finish this critique.
Well the budget is out. Here's the first line from the first page:
"The global economy is emerging from the deepest and most synchronized financial and economic crisis since the Great Depression. Having learned from the mistakes of the 1930s, governments and central banks responded to the downturn with unprecedented fiscal and monetary stimulus. "
I think you can see where it's going to go from here.
The Conservatives claim that "Budget 2011 supports job creation and continues to lay the foundation for sustainable economic growth. " Let's examine if this is true:
$6.2 billion in personal income tax relief.
How about the elimination of income taxes? Aside from the fact that it's purely just slavery once removed, there are these problems
$8.3 billion in help for the unemployed. This includes additional EI benefits, lower EI premiums, and more training opportunities to help unemployed Canadians re-enter the workforce and prosper in the future.
I think the private sector would be adequate enough to help the unemployed. Keep taxes low and regulation to a minimum (if any at all) and entrepreneurs will be motivated be provide unemployment services on a free, voluntary market. This is more desirable considering that the State can only destroy wealth and violate private property rights.
$14.8 billion in infrastructure stimulus to create jobs.
A massive misallocation of resources. Profit-motive is always more efficient and effective than the arbitrary decisions made by politicians.
$3.8 billion to advance Canada's knowledge economy.
How about $3.8 billion to educate Canadians on knowledge about the economy. This money should be enough to send every citizen a copy of Hazlitt's Economics In One Lesson.
$13.2 billion to support industries and communities.
Promoting up failed businesses and funding things better left to philanthropy. Let inefficient producers fail and cut taxes to allow individuals to spend their money as they see fit.
Extending Assistance for Canada's Manufacturing and Processing Sector
The extension of the "capital cost allowance" program. Less efficient entrepreneurs who can't afford reinvestments in capital should rightly go out of business. This program prevents them from doing so.
Hiring Credit for Small Business
About $165 million in various ways to help small businesses. As ideal as this sounds no amount of credits or goodies will fix the layers of regulation entrepreneurs have to go through just to start their own business and hire employees. Everything from bureaucratic red tape to minimum wage prevents entrepreneurs from operating to their fullest capacity.
Extending the Work-Sharing Program
This one doesn't even sound good. Basically, this program gives benefits to employees willing to work a reduced work week because their employers can't afford to keep them on full-time. There is no return on this "investment." The budget extends this program to the end of October and boosts its funding by another $10 million. In addition, attempts at fixing the bureaucratic red tape will be given a try.
Renewing Employment Insurance Pilot Projects
An additional $420 million on three EI programs that shouldn't exist to begin with. All these benefits do is prevent workers from moving into productive areas of the economy, at the expense of the everyone else. No doubt many people need EI and rely on it, especially during hard times – which is why private insurance is more desirable as it creates wealth for society and satisfies the consumer.
Extending the Targeted Initiative for Older Workers
$50 million to keep old people working. With youth unemployment so high, is there any rationality behind this program?
Expanding the Wage Earner Protection Program
No worries if your employer goes bankrupt and all your vacation pay and severance and etc. goes with it. The State is willing to steal from everyone to give you what you may believe its your right. Who was that politician that said he's entitled to his entitlements? Nevertheless, $4.5 million is being wasted on this program for 2011.
Supporting Mineral Exploration
Which will "cost" the government $90 million for the next couple years. It's basically a tax cut, so there's no complaints here. Plus, any jobs created from mining are real productive, wealth-producing jobs (as opposed to State infrastructure). Seeing that we're still in the early phases of this commodity bull market, all I have to say is: why stop at $90 million?
Limiting EI Premium Rate Increases and Launching EI Consultations
Increase in EI payments and an initiative to find out how to improve EI. For all the money and resources wasted on this process, the answer probably won't be what it should be: complete privatization.
Investing in a Cleaner Energy Economy
Straight out of the NDP platform. Something like $100 million for research into green technology and other "goodies" that are borderline fascist. Perhaps the conspiracy theorists are on to something when they say that the next genocide will voluntary because people, seeing the human race as a virus on the Earth, decide to kill themselves in an attempt to help the environment. This program, however, just deindustrializes the nation.
Maintaining Canada's Financial Sector Advantage
Here's what the budget says: "Introducing legislation to reinforce the stability of Canadian housing finance and strengthen the mortgage insurance regime. " That was the rationale when Flaherty insured all those mortgages back in 2008. It's clear that anything the State does in our financial sector will only avoid the bust and prolong the boom as long as possible.
Strengthening Canada's Public Infrastructure
$2 billion for municipalities from the Gas Tax Fund (because that won't be wasted), $228 million to fix bridges in Montreal, $148 million to fix bridges for the rest of Canada (I think more provinces should have a separatist party), $72 million for harbours, $150 million for a highway in the Arctic.
Supporting Canadian Agriculture
$50 million for innovation (because clearly things like that just require more money), $17 million to prevent the spread of plum pox (no danger to consumers, according to Wikipedia. As for farmers, the voluntary sector would be far more efficient), $24 million to prevent disease in the hog industry (again, private enterprise can do a better job), $100 million to the Canadian Food Inspection Agency bureaucracy.
Supporting Forestry
$60 million for forestry companies, but nothing about privatizing crown land. See Walter Block's video for more information.
Windsor-Detroit Bridge
I really don't think we need another border bridge. Especially one that leads to Detroit. The city that is ground zero for economic collapse.
Supporting Young Entrepreneurs
Instead of giving The Canadian Youth Business Foundation $20 million, why not repel all the tax and regulatory disincentives that destroy profit-motive?
Reducing Red Tape for Small Business—BizPaL
This is what the budget says:
"Launched in 2006, BizPaL is a free online service that significantly reduces the red tape burden on small business owners by allowing them to quickly and efficiently create a tailored list of permits and licences that are required from all levels of government to operate their specific business. "
Instead of giving BizPal $3 million, why not repel all the permits and licenses that are required for small business? Then there's no need for BizPal or the $3 million of stolen wealth. In addition, permits and licenses that are in place to protect consumers will arise in a free market (without coercion, of course) and thus employ even more people who aren't tax consumers.
Moving Forward With the Red Tape Reduction Commission
If I had a grave, I would be rolling in it right now. This is a bureaucratic commission to be set up to determine how to cut back on bureaucratic red tape. I could try to point out the absurdity, the irony or the out-right stupidity – but it would only make my head hurt. I would vote against this budget based solely on this point alone. No word on how much this boondoggle will cost.
Continuing to Improve Taxpayer Fairness
Everything but. The above-mentioned boondoggle plays a role in this too, so the whole initiative is pointless anyway.
Preventing Labour Disruptions
By throwing $1 million at the problem.
Strengthening Canada's Standards System
$2.1 million for a crown corporation that in theory "helps to promote Canada's economic growth through the pursuit of efficient and effective standardization." But in reality just destroys wealth and slows economic growth.
Improving Military Procurement
No word on privatization (obviously), so (obviously) another waste of money.
To be continued....

Bumbling along and trying to articulate my rants and thoughts. Oh yes, and I like to read. A lot.
Wednesday, 13 June 2007
No Karaoke please, we're Scottish.
One day Him Indoors and I decided to take a tour to the cities of Nessebar and Burgas. Both places were an experience. Burgas made me feel like I was in a production of 'The Third Man' and I kept expecting to see Orson Welles strutting around the square and muttering something about cuckoo clocks. The experience of that city made me feel like a fat and reasonably wealthy European. There was a small family of beggars wandering about. One little girl tried to take a tourist's ice cream cone headed for the bin and was loudly told to 'Fuck off' by the six foot English inbred idiot who possessed it. Myself I was pissed off by the kids coming up to me whilst I was trying to read my book but I ignored them. I had used up all my energy glaring at someone on the tour bus who used the word 'Pikey' to describe the Gypsy population.
Our tour guide was a charming Bulgarian girl who Anglicised her name to Daisy. This was a common occurrence amongst the Bulgarians I encountered in hotels and restaurants. On the transport between Burgas and Nessebar she offered up a Q& A session and answered some rather interesting questions. One was about the EU and she remarked that it was becoming more expensive to live in Bulgaria. The average Bulgarian takes home around 300 levs a month which is approximately £100. I'm sure Mr West could explain the ins and outs of requirements countries need to fill before being allowed EU membership better than I can. According to Daisy the cost of living and essentials such as water and electricity are going up but the wages are not rising to cope with this. She commented that most of the farm land in Bulgaria is going to waste due to the ghost of the Communist regime. Very little of the younger population has any interest in farming so most of the land is being sold for property development. Our hotel was across the road from a very busy building site so I can testify to that. To give you an idea of the development, our hotel was near the back end of Sunny Beach. Here are some photos taken from our balcony and the restaurant:
Please note this is only a small sample but there are literally hotels as far as the eye can see. Of course, tourists bring money with them. There were hundreds of restaurants and bars yet most of them seemed to tout one USP.
Nearly every bloody bar we went to had sodding karaoke. One night we were having a meal in a local restaurant and, halfway through our dinner, a musician (I use that term loosely) struck up his guitar and started belted out classics such as 'Alice? Who the fuck is Alice?' and 'Stairway to Heaven'. The drunken English party sitting beside him were lapping this up and screeching along with him. Him Indoors reported one half of the restaurant was loving every minute of this 'entertainment' whilst the other half look horrified they had ordered desserts and had to prolong this agony. The food was very nice but I am an old fashioned fart in that I like to have conversations with the person I am having a meal with. I do not want to have to raise my voice over 20 drunkards and 1 very bad musician.
Rant over. Having said that Bulgaria is a rather charming country and tipping is not expected. In a country where a good cup of coffee costs 60p I felt rather guilty if I didn't tip the waitress the extra few levs from my change. A decent three course meal with wine can be bought for under £20, again in the more expensive areas. The bar and restaurant staff seem genuinely grateful for any tips, no matter how small. One waitress seem positively puzzled when I handed back my 2lev change. I hope to return to Bulgaria in a few years to see how much, or how little, it has changed.

Kareoke? That's fairly bizarre. And if all of them have it, seems they're still getting to grips with capitalism.
Interesting what I was reading on that Wiki link of Sunny Beach that property prices have fallen off and many people have lost a lot of money. Coinciding with your observation that inflation is rising too fast, I'd say the issue was too much initial investment from greedy Western Europeans desperate to make a killing in property there, all buying property 10 years too early. The same seems to be happening in Romania too.
Anyway, glad to hear you enjoyed your holiday. And Paris is beckoning like a drunken monster.

For my sister. Who had a baby boy in March. The whale fabric was left over from some pyjamas I made for my nephews for Christmas last year. I put it together with some random blues, reds and greys from my stash. Spots and stripes mostly. And made a pattern! Which is unusual for me. Normally I just sew everything together then stand back and squint my eyes to make sure it looks ok. This method hasn't failed me yet.
And this one is for my best friend who is having a baby girl any day now. She's not a girly girl so these colours are much better for her than pink. I made this one using a jelly roll from Spotlight. I wasn't sure about it at first because, you know, Spotlight. There's such a stigma surrounding fabrics from Spotlight. So not cool. Not cool that is until cool Aunty Cookie started using them (she did! somewhere. I just can't find the link). Cool now.
The arrival of these two new babies is perfect for us because we have been able to offload all our baby gear to good homes. Which is much easier than selling it or dumping it at the op shop. And even though my heart decides from time to time it's not finished having babies my head knows better. And my heart is less likely to be swayed by my head if all the baby stuff has gone to new homes. My heart will just have to be content cuddling other people's new babies.

I hope pocketmouse does a live presents-opening again
do you?
It was mental and so is she. She is mental.
I was thinking about this
I felt bad for her last year cos she just got loads of tights she didn't want and people were dissin' her.
It's my favourite thread all year, Pocketmouse is excellent.
From what everyone had said about Pocketmouse
it makes me want to have intercourse with her. Is this wrong?
how insane... and random. I've always kinda hated opening presents even in front of family or whatever. Everyone trying read your facial expressions, obvious moments of dissapointment and glee.
Did she hook up a webcam and do it in front of her fam and stuff??
I've not been on here really for 5 months
has she gone mad/ had any good breakdowns or freakouts recently?
There are so many things in that thread which indicate her nuttiness
being over the age of 15 and getting that many presents
constant insistance that she's not spoiled
at least 70% of the presents being manga related
doing a live thread of the unwrappings with a cold critique of each item
it was astonishing
I just loved the tights. SO MANY TIGHTS.
"Okay, WTF? I think these are tights, but there are some serious issues here. I have never seen tights like these. There's is a very good reason why I have never seen tights like these. They're hideous. And really odd colours. "
"More tights? You have gotta be kidding me. I gave everyone about ten pages of suggestions. Was there an 80% off tight sale or something. This is insane. And they're black. I specifically stated on the lists "NO BLACK TIGHTS". Sigh."
"Again, it is something wrapped in a paper bag
More tights maybe?
Yes. These are like the other tights, but grey. This is also a good present."
GREY TIGHTS ARE A GOOD PRESENT.this'd this
I probably wont be on the internet all day anticipating what a stranger got for christmas
and be enjoying the holiday with my family instead.
Might scan through the thread on boxing day.
having said this I just lookes at last years stocking thread
and judging by the time she did it I will be awake then.....I will be drinking lots tomorrow as I've nearly had a month off drinking so will no doubt be up early xmas morning with a bucket to wee and vomit in....this might cheer me up.
