Although the proper formulation and assessment of Ludwig Wittgenstein's argument (or arguments) against the possibility of a private language continues to be disputed, the issue has lost none of its urgency. At stake is a broadly Cartesian conception of experiences that is found today in much philosophy of mind.
In §243 of Philosophical Investigations (1967; see also §256) Wittgenstein introduces the idea of a language in which "a person could write down or give vocal expression to his inner experiences -- his feelings, moods, and the rest -- for his private use. . . . The individual words of this language are to refer to what can only be known to the person speaking; to his immediate private sensations. So another person cannot understand the language." In subsequent sections (according to some commentators, up to as far as §315) Wittgenstein criticizes the possibility of such a "private language," and this is where "the private language argument" is usually supposed to be located.
Following the main essay, suppose that Privatus speaks Privatish, a private language. §243 suggests that Privatish has two features:
(1) Privatish contains a referring expression n that refers to one of Privatus's "immediate private sensations" s.
(2) s "can only be known to" Privatus.
According to Wittgenstein Privatish has a third feature, which he apparently thinks follows from (1) and (2):
(3) n can only be understood by Privatus (and, hence, Privatish can only be completely understood by Privatus).
At this point three questions arise. First, what does (2) mean? Second, what sort of referring expression is n? Third, why is (3) supposed to follow from (1) and (2)?
By (2) Wittgenstein seems to mean that only Privatus can know whether he is having s. "The essential thing about private experience is . . . that nobody knows whether other people also have this or something else" (§272, see also §246). Of course, this conception of sensations is held by Wittgenstein's opponent (a defender of the possibility of a private language), not Wittgenstein himself.
As to the referring expression n, it is a name, not a description (e.g., "the private sensation caused by pinpricks") (see §§256-257). Not even Wittgenstein's opponent would accept that to understand a description that in fact refers to sensation s one has to know that it refers to s.
Is n a proper name of a token sensation, or is it a common noun referring to a type of sensation? If n refers to a token sensation, something occurring only in the mind of Privatus, then Wittgenstein's opponent looks exactly like Bertrand Russell in "The Philosophy of Logical Atomism" (1918/1956; see also Candlish 2004). According to Russell, "[i]n order to understand a proposition in which the name of a particular occurs, you must already be acquainted with that particular" (1918/1956, p. 204; see also Russell 1912, chapter 5). Since, on Russell's view, the only particular things with which one is acquainted are private items he calls sense-data (and, in addition, perhaps one's self), no two people can be acquainted with the same particular, and so no two people can understand a genuine name (as Russell puts it, a name in the "logical sense"). Hence, Russell thinks, if Privatus's name n refers to a token sensation, no one else can understand it.
However, it is clear that Wittgenstein takes the sensations in question to be types, not tokens (see, in particular, §258); accordingly, the name n is a common noun. But then Russell's views about acquaintance and understanding play no role in the justification of (3), for Russell holds that two people can be acquainted with the same property (or type), including properties of private objects. Thus, if Privatus is acquainted with a certain type of sensation s, that is no barrier, on Russell's view, to others also being acquainted with s.
So why does Wittgenstein think that (3) follows from (1) and (2)? His argument may be this: one cannot know that Privatus's name n refers to s, so one cannot know what n means, and hence one cannot understand it. But it is not obvious that knowledge that n refers to s is necessary for understanding n, or for successful communication using it: perhaps all that is required is that one believes that Privatus's name n refers to s. The upshot is that Wittgenstein's double characterization of a private language as one "which describes my inner experiences and which only I myself can understand" (§256) is contentious. (This point is due to Edward Craig [1982]; for further discussion see Craig [1997].)
Given that the two characterizations of a private language should be separated, it is probably better to use the first, leaving the second as a disputed consequence. Thus, a private language may be explained as one containing names for types of inner experiences, with the further stipulation that, if there are any inner experiences, no one knows whether others have the same types of inner experiences as him- or herself.
§258 contains the famous example of keeping "a diary about the recurrence of a certain sensation," and most commentators identify it as the core of the private language argument. The key move in this section is to cast doubt on whether the diary keeper can "impress on [himself] the connexion between the sign ["S"] and the sensation," and so "remember the connexion right in the future." Anthony Kenny points out, against some commentators, that "remembering the connexion right" does not mean that one correctly applies "S" to one's sensation, but that one remembers the meaning of "S" (1973, pp. 191-193).
Supposedly, there is no fact about the meaning of "S" for the diarist to remember because there is "no criterion of correctness." Here, there is little consensus on what the missing criterion amounts to, or whether its absence does indeed show that the diarist fails to attach a meaning to "S". For some representative examples of exegesis, see Malcolm Budd (1989, chapter 3), Stewart Candlish (1980, 2004), John V. Canfield (1991, 2001), Robert J. Fogelin (1987, chapter 12), P. M. S. Hacker (1986, chapter 9; 1990, 61-67); Colin McGinn (1997, chapter 4), David Pears (1988, chapters 13, 14, 15), Scott Soames (2003, chapter 2), and Crispin Wright (1986).
In Wittgenstein on Rules and Private Language (1982), Saul A. Kripke suggests (without unreservedly endorsing) a novel and exciting interpretation of the private language argument (see also Fogelin 1987, p. 241, n. 10). On this interpretation the main argument appears in the earlier long discussion of following a rule starting around §138. As Kripke observes, the conclusion of the private language argument is stated in §202, well before the argument's traditional location, "Hence it is not possible to obey a rule 'privately': otherwise thinking one was obeying a rule would be the same thing as obeying it." Kripke takes the sections following §243 to be a discussion of a purported counterexample -- namely, sensation language -- to the conclusion argued for earlier.
The argument Kripke extracts from Wittgenstein is in two parts. The first part purports to establish that there are no facts that make it the case that an individual (Jones, say) means something by a word (addition by "+," say). This conclusion is reached by canvassing all the plausible candidates for such meaning-constituting facts and finding them all wanting. A skeptical paradox ("our paradox" of §201) looms, "[N]o facts, no truth conditions, correspond to such statements such as 'Jones means addition by "+"'" (1982, p. 77). The second part offers a skeptical solution: "skeptical" because the paradoxical conclusion is embraced; a "solution" because sentences such as "Jones means addition by '+'" remain assertible, despite the lack of any "corresponding fact." And the account of why such sentences are assertible essentially involves a linguistic community, so that if Jones is "considered in isolation," he cannot be said to mean anything by his words. This is the most general sense in which a "private language" is impossible: An individual considered in isolation from other speakers cannot be said to speak a language (see Kripke 1982, pp. 109-110).
Most commentators have not endorsed Kripke's interpretation (in particular, see Baker and Hacker 1984, chapter 1; McGinn 1984, chapter 2). However, Kripke's Wittgenstein has become a philosopher of considerable interest in his own right.
Kripke's book revived interest in the issue of whether the private language argument and related material on rule following is supposed to exclude a Robinson Crusoe isolated from birth from speaking a language (discussion of this topic goes back to Alfred J. Ayer [1954] and Rush Rhees [1954]; see also Kripke [1982, p. 110, n. 84]). While the characterization of a private language in §243 seems to leave room for such a Crusoe, other sections, notably §198, suggest the opposite. Norman Malcolm (1986, 1989) offers a defense of the "community view," and is countered by Baker and Hacker (1990). The community view is rejected by most commentators; for further discussion and references, see Canfield (1996).

If you will allow me, I would like to post a response to your statement "some things are beyond forgiveness" from a Ravensbruck concentration camp survivor, Corrie Ten Boom. May it touch your heart as it did mine when I first read it, and again even now as I post it to you almost 40 years years later.
Corrie Ten Boom Story on Forgiving
"It was in a church in Munich that I saw him—a balding, heavyset man in a gray overcoat, a brown felt hat clutched between his hands. People were filing out of the basement room where I had just spoken, moving along the rows of wooden chairs to the door at the rear. It was 1947 and I had come from Holland to defeated Germany with the message that God forgives.
"It was the truth they needed most to hear in that bitter, bombed-out land, and I gave them my favorite mental picture. Maybe because the sea is never far from a Hollander's mind, I liked to think that that's where forgiven sins were thrown. 'When we confess our sins,' I said, 'God casts them into the deepest ocean, gone forever. …'
"The solemn faces stared back at me, not quite daring to believe. There were never questions after a talk in Germany in 1947. People stood up in silence, in silence collected their wraps, in silence left the room.
"And that's when I saw him, working his way forward against the others. One moment I saw the overcoat and the brown hat; the next, a blue uniform and a visored cap with its skull and crossbones. It came back with a rush: the huge room with its harsh overhead lights; the pathetic pile of dresses and shoes in the center of the floor; the shame of walking naked past this man. I could see my sister's frail form ahead of me, ribs sharp beneath the parchment skin. Betsie, how thin you were! [Betsie and I had been arrested for concealing Jews in our home during the Nazi occupation of Holland; this man had been a guard at Ravensbruck concentration camp where we were sent.]
"Now he was in front of me, hand thrust out: 'A fine message, Fräulein! How good it is to know that, as you say, all our sins are at the bottom of the sea!' "And I, who had spoken so glibly of forgiveness, fumbled in my pocketbook rather than take that hand. He would not remember me, of course—how could he remember one prisoner among those thousands of women?
"But I remembered him and the leather crop swinging from his belt. I was face-to-face with one of my captors and my blood seemed to freeze.
"You mentioned Ravensbruck in your talk,' he was saying, 'I was a guard there.' No, he did not remember me.
"But since that time,' he went on, 'I have become a Christian. I know that God has forgiven me for the cruel things I did there, but I would like to hear it from your lips as well. Fräulein,' again the hand came out—'will you forgive me?'

I wonder how Corrie Ten Boom might have felt if she'd come across Reinhard Heydrich instead of some relatively benign guard? Because that was Adams' position, a prime instigator of murder, rather than a bystander. I have the utmost admiration for Price Charles. I could not do what he did. And as for those Americans who funded the IRA - well, the chickens came home to roost. As soon as they experienced terrorism on their own soil they realised that NORAID was no better than Isis.

There are three things that Baby Girl has to have when she goes to bed at night, her pacifier, a blanket (she prefers one of the quilts made my the lovely Mrs. Jessica J) and her Caterpillar (aka wormy). When I went to put her to bed we couldn't find her Caterpillar. We looked EVERYWHERE. We tore the room apart, the front room apart, searched the couches and even the car. After about an hour of screaming with both dad (over the phone) and I trying to calm her down she was finally going to try to sleep without it. Just as she was about to fall asleep I went to cover her up with her quilt and who should fall out right in front of her?!?!? Yep WORMY!!! She was out in less than a minute with a smile on her face. :) Daddy said I HAVE to go buy 3 or 4 more of them NOW!!! Pray I can still find them.

Did you know that as you start to age your eyelashes flatten out? And you should keep everything going upward to fight natures gravity. So if your over 35 you need to be curling your lashes honey. Even if you want to skip the mascara application, curling your lashes with pop open your eyes making them bigger and brighter and who doesn't like that?

Conservative was the code.
It was also kinda formal too.
And kinda boring.
Although, the birthday boy's father could be my grandpa any day.
He told me really cool stories of how he used to, and still kicks ass with this asian sword/knife he keeps in his bag.
I'm totally scared about the HSC.
The university I want to get in needs a UAI (university admission index) of 99.99% and only 6 people got 100% last year.

At least 21 plant species are known to be invasive at Buffalo National River. Exotic Plant Management Teams (EMPT) work in parks throughout the country to limit the spread of invasive plants and promote healthy, diverse native ecosystems. Control may be accomplished with simple hand tools to dig out specimens or require heavy machinery or chain saws to cut large trees. Limited application of specific herbicide may be required to prevent regrowth.
Recent control efforts focused on Tree of Heaven (Ailanthus altissima), Chinese Privet (Ligustrum sinense) and European Privet (Ligustrum vulgare), and Mimosa (Albizia julibrissin).

Please come out. Soon. I have spring fever. I wanted to wear capris and sandals yesterday but you wouldn't let me. If you could take care of all the piles of papers I have on my desk at work, it would be greatly appreciated. That is all.
Sincerely, Ashley
I would really love the sun to peak through the clouds and shine its face. Things have just seemed to be creeping along and I'm ready for the weather to give me a boost. Friday's temperatures and lack of cloud cover appear to be promising, which is good because the family and I plan to go to Salina for some fun! Other than that, I've enjoyed my evening by watching Biggest Loser and getting a head start on a project.
Here's the outfit of the day with one of my jersey necklaces.

Column 313
Mr. Prescott : To ask the Secretary of State for Transport if he will make a statement of the achievements of his Department since October 1990.
Mr. Rifkind : My Department has continued to ensure that Britain's growing transport needs are met with regard to safety, efficiency and with proper respect for the environment.
Serious road casualties have continued to fall. In particular, road deaths in the year ending June 1991 were at their lowest level since 1948, despite a ninefold increase in the volume of traffic in the intervening period. We are continuing to promote greater transport safety through regulation, publicity and investment. The Road Traffic Act has reformed road traffic law in the light of the North report and will ensure that bad driving and drink driving are properly punished. The law on the wearing of seat belts has been extended to passengers travelling in the rear seats of cars. We have enhanced our road safety publicity campaigns under the "Safety on the Move" umbrella, notably on drinking and driving and child road safety. For the first time, expenditure of over £30 million was specifically earmarked in the 1991-92 transport supplementary grant settlement for low- cost safety schemes.
Increasing sums are also being spent on improving the safety of public transport. British Rail plans to spend over £200 million on specific safety measures during the current year and London Underground plans to spend over £80 million this year on further safety improvements. We have helped to secure international agreement at the International Maritime Organisation to improvements in standards for ro-ro ferries, oil tankers and bulk carriers. Under the powers in the Aviation and Maritime Security Act 1990, measures have been introduced for the first time for the security of passenger shipping. Existing aviation security measures have been strengthened and new ones are being developed. A new transport security division has been created within the Department, with enhanced resources. Significant progress has been made towards the reduction of pollution from motor vehicles. Agreement has been reached in Brussels on substantially tougher emission standards for both cars and lorries. Since 1 November, thme annual MOT test has included a test on vehicle emissions.
Investment in transport infrastructure by both the public and private sectors is at historically high levels. The electrification of British Rail's east coast main line, at a cost of some £450 million, was completed in June 1991. British Rail invested more than £800 million in total in 1990-91--the highest in real terms in a single year since the transition from steam to diesel in the 1960s--and is expected to invest over £1 billion in the current year.
Column 314London Underground investment, currently running at about £450 million a year, is also at record levels. The increased EFLs for 1992-93 announced in the autumn statement--£2,040 million for BR and £1,210 million for LT--are further evidence of the Government's commitment to the railways.
Provision for national trunk roads and motorways is being maintained at over £2 billion a year and has been more than doubled since 1988-89. The opening of the M40 extension to Birmingham in January 1991, and of the M20 between Maidstone and Ashford in May 1991, closed important gaps in the English motorway network. Since October 1990, we have opened over 150 miles of new or improved trunk roads, including 15 new bypasses.
We have continued to take steps to encourage an enhanced role for the private sector in the provision of transport infrastructure. The new Queen Elizabeth II bridge between Dartford and Thurrock was financed and constructed entirely by the private sector. The New Roads and Street Works Act has introduced new procedures for the authorisation of privately financed roads. We have announced our choice of concessionaire for the Birmingham northern relief road. To encourage private sector participation in the railways, I have written to the chairman of British Rail asking BR to respond positively to reasonable proposals from the private sector to run new passenger and freight services, to charge fairly for the use of railway facilities and to allow private operators to use their own locomotives and train crew if they wish.
We have secured the passage of legislation to enable trust ports to move into the private sector and a number of them are now seeking to do so.
The Government have remained at the forefront of moves to liberalise the provision of air transport services, both within the European Community and through bilateral arrangements with other countries around the world. Since March 1991, airlines have been better able to match services at Heathrow to the needs of passengers, following our removal of most of the traffic distribution rules governing access to the airport.
Sir Eldon Griffiths : To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, pursuant to his answer of 12 November, Official Report, column 426-27, if he will list the number of days on which portions of the carriageways of the A45 between Bury St. Edmunds and Newmarket and Bury St. Edmunds and Stowmarket have been closed for purposes of routine maintenance and work by public utilities.
Mr. Chope : The information requested is not readily available and could be obtained only at disproportionate cost.
Mr. Spearing : To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what investigations he or the transport and road research laboratory, made of the cases where a blind spot in a rear view mirror has (a) caused or (b) was a potential factor in any road accident.
Mr. Chope : It is only possible to identify the rear-view mirror blind spot reliably as being a contributory factor to an accident when vehicles are reversing. A Transport and Road Research Laboratory study of such accidents
Column 315involving fatalities and serious injuries shows that a majority are caused by error or negligence, but that rear view blind spots are also a factor in most cases.
Mr. Moate : To ask the Secretary of State for Transport if he will make a statement indicating the frequency of surveys undertaken on the wreck of the SS Richard Montgomery close to the Isle of Sheppey ; what are the current measures being taken to protect the wreck ; and if he has any plans to review the policy of maintaining these measures and otherwise leaving the wreck undisturbed.
Mr. McLoughlin : The site of this dangerous wreck is designated as a prohibited area under the Protection of Wrecks Act 1973. It has been clearly marked as such on charts, and by notices attached to the wreck. A notice to mariners has also been issued designating the site as a foul area where trespassers are liable to prosecution. A number of surveys have been carried out in the wreck. Following expert advice, the last two surveys have been at roughly five-year intervals. As my hon. Friend is aware, the most recent survey was completed by September this year and I hope to make a statement as soon as we have reached conclusions about the findings.
Mr. Hinchliffe : To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what representations he has received regarding the placing of roadside advertisements with the slogan "road ahead flooded" ; and if he will make a statement.
Mr. Chope : I have received a copy of a complaint made to the Advertising Standards Authority about this advertisement.
Mr. Roger King : To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what representations he is making to the European Commission's Transport Commissioner Karel van Miert to block a French Government subsidy of £200 million to Air France.
Mr. McLoughlin : No formal representations were invited on this particular issue and I made none ; but I continue to press the Commissioner for a report which he has promised on the whole issue of state aids in air transport.
Ms. Walley : To ask the Secretary of State for Wales whether any assistance was given to Vale Royal Porcelain Ltd., when the company moved from Stoke on Trent to Wrexham ; and whether the company is currently in receipt of grant aid or other assistance from his Department.
Mr. David Hunt : The company was entitled to and received regional development grant.
Ms. Walley : To ask the Secretary of State for Wales what assessment he carries out of the financial viability of companies before providing them with relocation assistance.
Column 316
Mr. David Hunt : I refer the hon. Lady to the answer given by my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry on 19 November 1991. Similar procedures operate in my Department.
Mr. Barry Jones : To ask the Secretary of State for Wales what measures he intends to take to improve the teaching of mathematics in primary schools.
Sir Wyn Roberts : My right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Wales is in the process of implementing a national curriculum for mathematics in primary schools. The curriculum is aimed at improving standards, including basic mthematical skills. Pupils between the ages of five and nine are currently being taught the curriculum and from August 1993 it will apply to all primary school pupils. The results of the first national curriculum tests for mathematics of seven-year-olds show that 74 per cent. of pupils have reached the expected standard (level 2) or higher. These results are encouraging but there is scope for further improving basic mathematical skills. Advice has been sought from the School Examinations and Assessment Council on the detail of the results. Once this is available my right hon. Friend and I will decide what further guidance teachers might require.
Copies of the bulletin giving details of the test results have been sent to all primary school headteachers and directors of education so that they can make their own comparisons of performance and to ensure that standards in their schools are kept under regular review. Her Majesty's inspectorate (Wales), as part of its ongoing programme of inspection of individual schools, will look closely at the standards of teaching in mathematics. Where the inspectorate report unacceptably low standards the local education authority will be asked about the improvements it proposes to make.
Grant support will continue to be made available to assist local education authorities in 1992-93 to provide training and support to teachers implementing the national curriculum, including the mathematics curriculum.
Mr. Ieuan Wyn Jones : To ask the Secretary of State for Wales what plans he has to ensure that each secondary school in Wales has a full-time careers teacher.
Sir Wyn Roberts : It is for local education authorities and schools to decide whether to appoint careers teachers to secondary schools.
Mr. Alan W. Williams : To ask the Secretary of State for Wales how many children sat the language assessment for key stage 1 in the standard assesment tasks (a) in English and (b) in Welsh in each of the local education authority areas in Wales.
Sir Wyn Roberts : The information requested is as follows :
Column 317
Local Education Number of pupils assessed Authority the subjects of: |English |<1>Welsh ------------------------------------------- Clwyd |4,079 |514 Dyfed |2,441 |1,625 Gwent |5,375 |132 Gwynedd |400 |2,267 Mid Glamorgan |6,369 |813 Powys |1,211 |167 South Glamorgan |4,804 |297 West Glamorgan |4,084 |403 |---- |---- Wales |28,763 |6,218 <1> The assessment of Welsh in 1991 was not a statutory requirement and was tested on a pilot basis only.
Mr. Alan W. Williams : To ask the Secretary of State for Wales how many children sat the language standard assessment task at key stage 1 in the current year in (a) English and (b) Welsh at each individual primary school in Dyfed.
Sir Wyn Roberts : My right hon. Friend has given an undertaking to headteachers, local education authorities and teachers' unions that no data collected on the national curriculum key stage 1 assessments for 1991 will be published by the Department at individual school level.
Mr. Nellist : To ask the Secretary of State for Wales what is his estimate of the cost involved in centrally collecting information of the numbers of people in arrears for the poll tax for 1990-91.
Mr. Nicholas Bennett : We have not estimated the cost involved in centrally collecting information on the numbers of people in arrears for community charge. The department collects information from charging authorities on the amounts of community charge received and outstanding.
Mr. Morgan : To ask the Secretary of State for Wales whether he considered that the proposed Cardiff bay barrage required an environment impact assessment to be carried out in accordance with articles 5 to 10 of European Council directive 85/337/EEC.
Mr. David Hunt : The directive indicates that it is not applied to "projects the details of which are adopted by specific acts of national legislation, since the objectives of this directive, including that of supplying information, are achieved through the legislative process". However, in accordance with Standing Orders, an environmental statement has been supplied and published, and while article 7 is not considered to be relevant in this case, it is clearly right that in its consideration of the Bill, Parliament should assess the environmental effects of the project in accordance with the provisions of the directive identified in the question.
Column 318
Mrs. Mahon : To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he has any plans to meet other EC partners to discuss an arms embargo on the sale of all arms and military equipment to Indonesia.
Mrs. Mahon : To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will now review his policy on the introduction of an embargo on the sales of arms and military equipment to Indonesia.
Mr. Garel-Jones : No. Our policy remains as stated by my right hon. Friend the Prime Minister in his answer of 18 March.
Mr. Peter Bottomley : To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what information he has on how each EC Government and national assembly plan to implement and approve the legislation to enact treaty provisions on political, economic and monetary union.
Mr. Garel-Jones : Article 236 of the treaty of Rome requires that any amendments to the treaty be ratified by all member states in accordance with their respective constitutional requirements. These vary between member states and in many cases will depend on the content of the new treaties agreed at Maastricht.
Mr. Shersby : To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what action he has taken concerning the continental shelf around the Falkland Islands ; and if he will make a statement.
Mr. Garel-Jones : The question of oil in the south Atlantic, specifically in the continental shelf off Patagonia and around the Falkland Islands, has been receiving increasing attention in recent years. Her Majesty's Government have been in contact with the Falkland Islands Government on the matter.
Having considered proposals by the Falkland Islands Government, my right hon. Friend has instructed the Governor of the Falkland Islands to take the necessary legislative measures to provide for the exercise of the Crown's rights over the sea bed and the sub-soil of the continental shelf around the Falkland Island's.
In addition, an ordinance known as the Continental Shelf Bill 1991, will be laid before the Legislative Council of the Falkland Islands. Upon entry into force, this would allow seismic surveying to take place under licence in designated areas of the continental shelf. Officials from the British and Argentine Governments will meet shortly to explore the scope for co- operation.
Dr. Marek : To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will list those topics and areas for discussion concerning Hong Kong at meetings of the Joint Liaison Group upon which there will be prior consultation with LEGCO.
Column 319Mr. Garel-Jones [holding answer 21 November 1991] : Under the terms of the joint declarations the proceedings of the joint liaison group (the main role of which is to conduct consultations on the implementation of the joint declaration and to discuss matters relating to the smooth transfer of government in 1997) are confidential unless the two sides agree otherwise. The joint declaration stipulates that the JLG shall play no part in the administration of Hong Kong before or after 1997. The implementation in Hong Kong of some agreements reached in the JLG requires new legislation or the provision of funds by the Legislative Council. The Hong Kong Government wish to build up a co-operative partnership with the council, and intend to provide members with all the information and explanations that they need to assess the Administration's policies.
Mr. Fraser : To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what representations were made to the Government of Kenya about the recent suppression of dissidents.
Mrs. Chalker : Her Majesty's Government have constantly stressed the need to respect freedom of expression and the importance of outlets for legitimate dissent in Kenya. Immediately news of the arrest of the dissidents was received in London on 15 November, the Kenyan deputy high commissioner was summoned to the Foreign and Commonwealth Office and told of our concern. Parallel action was taken by our high commission in Nairobi. We hope that those arrested will be released immediately so that progress can be made on President Moi's expressed willingness to move towards multi-party democracy.
Mr. Fraser : To ask the Attorney-General what estimate of eligibility on income grounds, by reference to a percentage of households and population, is made in relation to green form legal advice for 1979, 1989 and 1990 using the same methodology as adopted to produce the estimates for civil legal aid set out in table 3 of annex A to the consultation paper on eligibility for legal aid published in June 1991 by the Lord Chancellor's Department.
The Attorney-General : No estimates have been made of eligibility for green form legal advice and assistance. Eligibility for legal advice and assistance will be considered at a later stage of the Lord Chancellor's review of financial conditions for legal aid.
Mr. Fraser : To ask the Attorney-General what is the current timetable for the review of legal aid announced by the Lord Chancellor on 13 November 1989 ; by what date under this timetable the review team intends to respond to submissions to its consultation on civil legal aid eligibility released in November 1991 ; what further consultations on what subjects are planned by the review team ; and by what date the review team currently intends to complete its tasks.
The Attorney-General : Responses to the consultation paper on non- matrimonial civil legal aid are now being
Column 320considered and proposals will be issued in the first half of 1992. It is expected that a consultation paper on the financial conditions for legal aid in criminal proceedings will be published in the summer of 1992 and that the review team will then begin work on legal aid for matrimonial and family matters and legal advice and assistance with the aim of completing its work in 1993.
Mr. Fraser : To ask the Attorney-General what plans the Government have to establish further commercial courts outside London.
The Attorney-General : The commercial court sits at the Royal Courts of Justice in London to hear disputes, mainly arising from the international commercial activities of the City of London. Commercial lists have been established at Manchester and Liverpool comprising general commercial business cases. Further such lists in other parts of the country will be considered should local business communities demonstrate a need.
Mr. Fraser : To ask the Attorney-General what percentage of county courts and district registries now have user committees.
The Attorney-General : Of 288 county courts and combined court centres (including part-time caller offices), 112 (39 per cent.) are at present covered by court user committees. Plans are in hand to cover a further 23 courts, bringing the percentage to 47 per cent. Of 24 district registries, 13 (54 per cent.) are covered by court user committees. The percentage will increase to 75 per cent. when five further district registries are covered in the near future.
Mr. Nellist : To ask the Attorney-General if he will place in the Library a copy of the judgment R. v. Bristol City Council and Another, ex- parte Willsman and Another 17 October 1991.
The Attorney-General : I have, as requested, arranged for a copy of the judgment R v. Bristol City Council and Another, ex-parte Willsman and Another, 17 October 1991, to be placed in the House of Commons Library.
Dr. Godman : To ask the Attorney-General if he will list the statutory provisions which set out the circumstances in which a person serving overseas with the United Kingdom armed forces or a member of the family of such an individual may raise a civil action in an English court concerning a criminal offence committed in a place outwith the United Kingdom ; and if he will make a statement.
The Attorney-General : By virtue of the Civil Jurisdiction and Judgments Act 1982, which gives effect to the Brussels convention on jurisdiction and the enforcement of judgments in civil and commercial matters, persons in another EC member state, including members of our armed forces, may sue in an English court in respect
Column 321of any wrongful act done to them, whether or not it constituted a criminal offence, if the defendant is domiciled in England and Wales.
Mr. Ieuan Wyn Jones : To ask the Secretary of State for Social Security what are the current targets for his Department's offices in Wales for meeting (a) delivery and (b) accuracy of benefits administered.
Miss Widdecombe : The setting of targets for district offices is a matter for Mr. Michael Bichard, the Chief Executive of the Benefits Agency. He will write to the hon. Member and copies will be placed in the Library and the Public Information Office.
Mr. Ieuan Wyn Jones : To ask the Secretary of State for Social Security how many claimants applied for grants or loans under the social fund during the financial year 1990-91 in each of the benefit offices in Wales ; how many applications were turned down and for what reason ; what was the average size of the grant, crisis loan or budgetary loan in the year ; and if he will provide comparable figures for the first six months of 1991-92.
Mr. Scott : I understand from Mr. Michael Bichard, the Chief Executive of the Benefits Agency, that the information requested could be obtained only at disproportionate cost.
Mr. Hain : To ask the Secretary of State for Social Security if he will make a statement on the proposal to close the Neath branch of the Benefits Agency.
Miss Widdecombe : The operation of the network of Benefits Agency district offices is a matter for Mr. Michael Bichard, the Chief Executive of the Benefits Agency. He will write to the hon. Member and copies will be placed in the Library and the Public Information Office.
Column 322
Mr. Meacher : To ask the Secretary of State for Social Security if he will update his answer of 20 March 1990, Official Report, column 597, on the gross cost of uprating the retirement pension by average earnings in each year since 1980-81 at 1991 prices.
Miss Widdecombe [holding answer 5 November 1991] : The information is given in the table, based on 1991-92 prices. It is only possible to estimate the net cost for the current year, 1991-92, in which it would have been £4.43 billion allowing for a reduction of £0.28 billion of income support ; £0.26 billion of community charge benefit ; and £0.72 billion of housing benefit.

Mr. Cox : To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many inmates would be accommodated by the cells which are not in use at London prisons due to work taking place on the installation of an internal sanitation system within those prisons.
Mrs. Rumbold : On Tuesday 19 November there were 351 cells out of use in London local prisons and remand centres because of work to install integral sanitation. The certified normal accommodation for these cells is 351, but if they were to be used at previous levels of overcrowding some 412 prisoners would be accommodated.
Mr. Steinberg : To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what measures will be taken to ensure that private prison staff will be checked for suitability and be trained to the same standard as Her Majesty's prison service standards.
Mrs. Rumbold : The Criminal Justice Act 1991 requires the director and other custodial staff of any contracted out prison to be certified by the Secretary of State as prisoner custody officers. The Act further provides that the Secretary of State may issue a certificate only if he is satisfied that they are fit and proper persons and have received training from the contractor to the approved standard.
Mr. Ron Davies : To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will review the regulations in the code of practice for the housing and care of animals used in scientific procedures relating to the temperatures at
Column 324which old and new world primates should be kept, to reflect the fact that these groups of primates include species which come from widely different climates.
Mrs. Rumbold : The code of practice, which was based closely on guidelines produced by the Royal Society and the Universities Federation for Animal Welfare, sets out optimal room temperature ranges for new world primates and old world primates used in scientific procedures. These temperature ranges are considered to meet the welfare needs of the animals and we have no plans to review them.
Mr. Tony Banks : To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department to whom prison-based special branch operations are accountable.
Mr. Kenneth Baker : The direction and control of all police operations is a matter for the chief officer of the police force concerned.
Mr. Tony Banks : To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he plans to review the nature of special branch operations in England and Wales, and in particular the accountability of such operations ; and if he will make a statement.
Mr. Kenneth Baker : I have no plans to do so. The conduct of police operations is a matter for the chief constable of the police force concerned.
Dr. Cunningham : To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will make a statement on his Department's advertising campaign to encourage the
Column 325registration of overseas voters, including the total amount spent so far and the number of overseas voters who have registered as a result.
Mrs. Rumbold : No advertising or publicity to inform British citizens abroad of their voting rights was undertaken by the Home Office this year, apart from the updating of posters used in British diplomatic posts abroad at a cost of £1,400. We shall make known to the House in due course the number of overseas electors included on the draft electoral register for 1992-93.
Mr. Tony Banks : To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what parts of Judge Tumim's report to him regarding the recent gaol escape from Brixton were not published ; and if he will make a statement.
Mr. Kenneth Baker : Her Majesty's chief inspector of prisons advised me that for reasons of security he believed that much of his report could not be published, and that to publish it as it stood would endanger the remaining security at Brixton and the safety of individuals. I concurred with that view and published those parts which Her Majesty's chief inspector of prisons considered could be published.
Mr. Tony Banks : To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department (1) whether the July 1991 Brixton escapees had or were made aware of any drawings or plans of the prison by any member of the prison staff ;
(2) who authorised the activities organised by Staffordshire police in Brixton gaol in late 1990 and early 1991.

Postal rates continue to climb, and we've got a drawer full of Forever stamps because that's how we roll. But we wondered if we could do even better.
Everyone already knows to stock up on the Forever stamps, since they're good at face value even if/when the rates go up. Right?
But we bet you didn't know this:
If you go to a stamp and coin store, many will sell you unused stamps at at least 10% off face value. Apparently, stamps don't expire, so you can still use old stamps to mail new things. (Just make sure you're buying United States postage, not foreign stamps, and make sure that they're not canceled.)
Recently, Team CHEAPIOSITY bought some vintage postage stamps at our local stamp/coin store, and our discount was about 15% off face value. Cool. We used the stamps on some letters, and nothing has returned postage due, so we're concluding that our little scheme works just fine. Why the bargain, you ask?
Apparently, baby boomers and their parents started collecting stamps and coins as a post-war hobby (and investment), but so many of them did that there's a glut on the market. So many stamps were issued and saved that they haven't increased in value at all. Only stamp collections that date back to the 1940's and before have started to appreciate. Bad news for the baby boomer collectors, but good news for us bargain hunters who still traffic in snail mail.
And with Valentine's Day right around the corner, what could be more thoughtfully retro and hip than a Valentine's card sent with vintage postage stamps? You don't have to thank us.

I'm falling asleep as I type this.
Monday, April 01, 2013
Today, when I looked in the mirror at the gym, I thought that maybe I look a little different. Like maybe my butt is a bit smaller. And my belly seems a little smaller. I think my boobs might be too. Eh. You take the good, you take the bad.
So here are some numbers. Since March 12, I am down 4.5 pounds, I have gone from 39% fat to 37%. I've lost 2 inches in my waist, and 1.5 inches my my hips. I haven't been measuring my chest, but I think I might start doing that. I'm starting to see it. My clothes are looser, but I've been just chalking that up to wishful thinking. Now I have proof for myself. I think I'm most excited about the reduction in the body fat %. To lose weight and % means I'm doing what I need to be doing - losing the fat. Yay!
I have a lot of stuff to do tomorrow night because I was pretty worthless today. I need to make a new batch of chicken, I want to try the pork tenderloin again. I'll have extra dishes to do because I didn't do any tonight. Yeah, basically, I did nothing tonight so I'll have double-work tomorrow.
I did strength train and I'm happy with how that's going. Tomorrow is running and I'm actually looking forward to it. It's funny how much my life has changed. I used to be busy all the time and always had plans with people. Now I look forward to going to the gym and cooking.
I've been waking up early lately but I usually just lay in bed until I HAVE to get up.This morning I actually got up early and it was great.
Tonight I talked to Dan. I don't think I mentioned here, but the reason I think I screwed things up with him is because while I was visiting him on the previous weekend, I told him I loved him. He got all bent out of shape and said it was way too soon for that. And he's never said it in any less than a year and a half. So last week, he was super quiet and I gave him a bunch of space. Tonight I called him and tried my best to hash it out. I really wanted to visit and talk it out in person, but I wouldn't be able to visit for another week because of his schedule.
I was very honest and I told him how I feel. I considered trying to take it back, but I don't want to. I do love him, and if he leaves me, so be it. But I'm happier with him in my life. And I want him to know it. When I decided to make a true effort to try to find someone, I assumed I'd just have to settle in one way or another. But the only thing that is like settling with Dan is that he lives far away. And that can be overcome. Otherwise, he hits all the major points. He's not perfect, but there's always going to be some compromise. What a dream to not feel like I have to compromise on the big stuff!
Our talk was long and I still don't know how he feels. I don't think the "love" is much of an issue anymore, though I can't really tell. Right now he seems hung up on the distance. Though that seems like an excuse. The underlying thing he touched on after a whole lot of my rambling is that it seems to him in any relationship that when one person gets attached, the other tends to run away. I scoffed and said "So that's exactly what you're doing to me. I tell you I'm attached and so now you want to run away?" He didn't have much to say to that.
I think he's scared that if I learn much about him and the things he's been through, that I'll leave. I told him that I think it's insane that he's made it this far - that no other girls have snatched him up yet. And then I suggested that maybe the world was saving him for me. And he laughed and said if that's the case, the world has saved him from an awful lot just to be with me. I hope so. I hope he keeps this going.
I still don't know where we stand. I told him how much I want to be with him and how he makes my life so much better. But I also told him that he can't stay with me just because it makes me happy. He has do what makes him happy.
He told me I was really courageous. I'd have to agree with that because I was terrified to be as open and honest as I was, but I did it anyway. I want him to know all the stuff I'm thinking. I don't just want to be quickly dismissed. I think he's incredible in so many ways and he should know it. I don't just feel content to be with him, I feel lucky. it's something I've been hoping for since I actively threw myself into really trying to find my person. I also get the impression that he feels lucky to be with me.
But he's hung up on the distance, and put off by how quickly everything has gone so far. I told him to think about it and then I made him laugh before we said goodnight.
I so so so hope things go my way with him. I'm seriously crazy mad nuts about him.I don't want to go back to my life without him.

Maybe you two could hit the reset button and start over more slowly? If you ask me, HE'S the one who moved quickly. He can control the speed of dating, but as soon as you make a move, it's too fast?
Guys freak out about commitment, it's nothing new. But you didn't "screw it up" either. Being honest isn't screwing anything up. If he ran away because he didn't like what you said (stupid of anyone to turn love away, when there are plenty of people in the world who don't care whether you live or die, as long as you're not in their way), but otherwise things were great for him, then he's the one who screwed up. And the distance isn't that bad either - I agree, it's an excuse.
I know you're happy with him when you're together, but he has made you very UNHAPPY with his immaturity the past week or so. I am not sure it will get any better. He is lucky to have a chance at you, but I don't know if you're getting what YOU deserve. You do deserve better.
But everyone used to tell me the same thing about Airin - and we're together, and pretty happy. So... what do I know?
R>Glad to hear you're making so much progress at the gym, and in your kitchen! It's just flying off of you. That's how it used to do with me... I miss those days! ;) I would take inches off over weight loss any day. The fact that you lost those inches, but didn't lose much weight tells me you aren't losing muscle... great job!

The best preserved German medieval town looks just like a fairy tale. Spiers, cobbled streets, old houses, all of this can be found in Rothenburg …
Yes, yes, we all want to see Paris, London, Rome and other European centers, but while we often forget that there are cities and towns that do not charted on the tourist maps, but offer quite a lot. So next time remember, to visit Bergen or place Lacoste is not at all a bad thing.
Lacoste, France
Location : In the south of the country in the glorious Provence, 40 kilometers from Marseille, lies the town of Lacoste.
Visitors who come to Lacoste, usually take sightseeing tour of the castle of Marquis de Sade, which dates from the 17th century. Also, in the surroundings you will find a number of vineyards that can be visited and taste fine French wine, and enjoy the evening, good options are Cafe de Sade Cafe de France.
Also, given that the holiday is not a real holiday without shopping, here is a glossy boutique ShopSCAD where you will find interesting things made by students and professors from the university.
Sawrey, England
Location : In the North East of England, less than two hours drive from the airport in Manchester.
The village dates from the 14th century, and everyone who was here, praising him as a great place for rest and relaxation. Here is also a house for children English novelist Beatrix Potter, which has now turned into a museum, but we recommend a tour of it and return to the days of childhood.
Speaking of writers, such as and in the nearby village of grammar school great poet William Wordsworth, who is also a fine place to visit. Anyone who loves history, near as possible to visit the remains of Hadrian's wall, so we believe, how you Sawrey surroundings can hardly disappoint.
Rothenburg, Germany
Where is: In Bavaria, an hour's drive from Nuremberg, so if you get bored, you can quickly run there, or time of Munich.
It is the best preserved German medieval town, which looks just like a fairy tale. Spiers, cobbled streets, old houses, all of this can be found in Rothenburg. As soon as you recommend to take thirty minutes and take a walk along the old city walls, then it pays to go to the town hall in front of which often take place various concerts and entertainment programs. If you arrive in time for Christmas, know that the city is famous for the Christmas fairs, but if you come, you will not regret it, because if you win the first Rothenburg.
Bruges, Belgium
Location: From the capital Brussels, the train will arrive in an hour and a half. Bruges is probably the best known of all of these cities. But she is always in the shadow of a significant Famous and famous cities of the old continent. The city is best to move by bicycle. This is because of the many small streets and historic city center is under the protection of UNESCO. Within it all with a sense of aesthetics, will enjoy the medieval and Gothic architecture.
The town is located and Minnewater lake, known as Lake lovers. Couples come here to enjoy the peace, canoeing lake and feed the swans. Some just sit on a bench and enjoy the excellent waffles.
As Belgium is known for its French fries, there is even a museum dedicated to him. And if you are the kind of sweet, do not be afraid, there is also a museum of chocolate.

I grew up in tights, being in ballet for 13 years. In fact, mom raised me rather androgynously, so I also wore tights under big sweaters and hip length tunics and such around the house growing up. Your lovely look reminds me of all those days….epsecially when the delivery man would come and I'd meet him at the door and he's refer to me as Miss……
Oh, by the way, I'm a guy…and I love fashion as much as I love dance.
I traveled in Europe this past fall,
It looks like you have the same affinity for tights as I have…..
I've been raving to my new friends about how much I love the tights/shorts look, so they encouraged me to try it myself…
and I have in a big way,….. denim cutoffs, high waisted shorts, even a romper…….
I will following your blog religiously….. thanks for sharing your lovely taste and your beauty
