      You know I am barely into the Spook of the Thirteenth Lock’s self-titled debut album and already I am stuck on endless repeat at track 2. ‘In Country Dark’ is deliciously put together you see, a spark of experimentation goes a long way in my book and the tail end of this ditty provides it in spades. I mean at one stage I really felt like it was going to burst into My Bloody Valentine style molten chord exchanges. Before all that though there is a lively folk jamboree to be savoured, which comes complete with the sweetest of vocal melodies. Taken in an Irish context the Spook of the Thirteenth Lock are reminiscent of Horslips but they tend to take on more of the contemporary which often obscures the traditionalists within them.

      Muslim Country to Legalize Prostitution – and Polygamy?!
      Kyrgyzstan may become the first Muslim country to legalise prostitution – in order to raise money from the business which is prospering in the state. The initiative is supported by some MPs and government officials, but many citizens and religious authorities oppose the move.The supporters of the idea point at the fact that Kyrgyzstan isn’t a rich country at all, while nothing from the millions of dollars earned through the oldest profession gets it into the state budget. Moreover, sex workers have practically no rights now and often get fleeced by pimps or policemen and beaten by their clients. Some see legalisation of the business as a solution to the problem. Prostitutes can then start working legally and receive a state pension, medical care, the state’s protection and a tolerant

According to an article in the Wall Street Journal, property taxes account for around 40 percent of municipal governments' funding. Falling property values coupled with higher material costs have caused local governments to feel the pinch; they are now preparing to pass that on to homeowners. The article it pointed out a few cities which are working to raise property taxes. One of the largest cities was Memphis, Tennessee. The mayor of Memphis is proposing a 17 percent increase in property taxes, according to the article.

      Country Living With Wood Console Tables
      The wooden console table often forms the centerpiece of 'country living' as I am sure that most of you would already know. Wooden furniture and similar furniture often form the backdrop of most of the country style houses. Plastic do not come into play at these settings. Wooden furniture is generally used to a large extent in most of the country houses as there is a need for furniture to be sturdy and one that does nto break at the slightest sign of pressure or stress. Take for example, the wooden console tale, as it is the console table would also at times form the function of the side tray and there are times when it would be required to carry a heavy load on it. One cannot expect a plastic table to carry the same load without buckling under due pressure. Which is why the wooden console

      An Alice-in-Wonderland Country without the "Wonder"
      Winners and losers in land of starving billionairesEach day, Edwin Makotore's wife and children hit the streets to earn cash so he can pay for the privilege of working. The 38-year-old father-of-two is the only one in the family with a full-time job, but by the time he has met the soaring cost of travelling to work in a small Harare supermarket, paid out of wages wildly out of step with the 165,000% inflation rate, Makotore is out of pocket. But with only one-in-five adults in employment, a job is a far more precious commodity than money in Zimbabwe, and Makotore is not going to let it go."My wife gives me the money to go to work each day," he said. "We can't afford to send the children to school so they go with her to the streets. She sells some small things, fruit, things like that. "One

      Half the country hasn't an NHS dentist
      Gareth sent in this scan of a recent Daily Mail front page with a question about the sentence construction used in the headline, but I'd been meaning to blog about this story for a different reason.If you can't see the scan, I should tell you that the headline reads "Half the country hasn't an NHS dentist"; the web version of the same story explicitly states what the headline implies, namely that "Half the country can't get an NHS dentist". And perhaps for some of our foreign readers I should explain that the NHS is the National Health Service – the role of which is to provide health care, often free, to anyone normally resident in England (Scotland and Wales apparently have their own Health Services).In contrast to the headline, the story itself states only that:In total, 23,161,368 peo
