In another worrying judgment generated by the Israeli HCJ, the Court upholds that the occupying power can restrict the basic human right to leave one’s country and the freedom of movement (Article 12 of the UN Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, inter alia) of the occupied population by obliging persons seeking to leave their [...]

On my walk back from lunch, a young woman standing on the pavement in a cagoule stretched out her arm before me. In one hand she held a bundle of cards, and in the other – which now hovered increasingly close to my approaching face – she proffered a single unit from the pack.It was raining, and I held a carrier bag in my left paw and an erect umbrella in my right. Still, the woman proffered he

Owner-occupied properties, including the more than 90% of HDB flats, were penalised by higher property tax because the recent property boom has resulted in higher property valuation. Yet, owners of these properties have nothing to gain from the property boom, unlike property investors who see higher rental return.This prompted a Straits Times reader to ask: Fair for the Government to increase prop

So much work!!! I’ve to work my ass off this weekend. And I’ve to make sure that I really do work instead of procrastinating. Got to finish up everything before my holiday next week.Awesome. An excuse not to go out and spend any money ;)There are a lot of things running in my mind right now. What am I doing? Am I doing the right thing? The first week after transferring was really bad.

 Rant: Do not park your vehicle in a foreclosed property -- unless you get permission first! Scenerios: White truck parked in the drive way of the property I was scheduled to check for occupancy. Why did I remember that truck? Well, when I first got the listing that truck was in the yard when we went by to check to see if the occupants had moved out.  So we took pictures and did not distrub the

Thanks for all the concern, I was just ranting out in my previous post, hoping to feel better, which I did.Sometimes when your mind cannot think straight or feeling stressed/down, it's always good to write it out, to vent it out. There is always someone out there who will listen.Thank YOU ! :)Today I will be a nanny of 4 children while mum goes out to do her stuffs. I am all set to control their d

As a response, Prastakos decided to block the operations of the secreteriats and the classes, and threatened to cancel the exams period, while he denied to return the tables.

Having restless and bored kids stuck in a hotel room can be a nightmare! Here are a few ideas to help make the time disappear. Story Time: Read and discuss a book or a chapter of a book, make up your own endings. You can even make up your own stories by sitting the kids in a ring and letting them "add a sentence". We've made up lots of really funny stories this way. Puppet Show: Let the kids make finger puppets from paper, help them to create a "show" with a script and characters. Build up a few boxes stuck together with packing tape, make the top one have an opening at the front and hang up a curtain (you can use rags from the rag-box for this). Let the kids practice until you get home and invite a few friends or family members over to watch the "show". Jewellery: Collect beads, buttons

Anarchists, antiauthoritarians, autonomous and uncommited people with a help from other comrades from nearby towns occupied the old IKA building in Larissa in order to turn it into a free social/politic zone. They cleaned up the area and distributed the announcement of the new squat ("Social Liberation Virus" - "Ios Koinonikis Apeleutherosis") to passengers and local residents who were quite positive. Photos at: week earlier, another space inside the university of Patras was occupied to hold a coffee place, a lending library, a digital archive and a music studio. The space is self-managed, anti-hierarchical and anti-commercial, and it functions through an open assembly. Infos and photos:

Upon learning that 12 twelve million illegal aliens have invaded our nation and are still occuping American soil, most Americans become alarmed and angry. What will the People think and do when they learn that the problem may actually be more than three times greater than the government admits?

Business owners currently considering a commercial mortgage refinance, will find that many of the rules have changed.

I never know what a post will bring or where it will land me. It's like I find a blog I really enjoy (BedJump.Com), write a post about it, and then find out that the blogger has another blog where he shares what he likes about my blog. Of course, now I like his other blog, too! As fellow hoteliers, it makes perfect sense, I guess, that we would have discovered each other's blogs. Thanks,

The first Spanish Royal visit to Ceuta is causing too much anger and talk in Morocco , the wound of Morocco is re-opened again and the King of Morocco can't close simply because this time it is about the nation's dignity. Ceuta and Melilla two Moroccan cities had a meeting with the destiny from 500 years ago to fall under the Portuguese and Spanish occupation . Ceuta was invaded in year 1415 by the Portuguese then in 1518 by the Spanish. Melilla was invaded by the Spanish in year 1497 and so I consider them the oldest occupied Arab land in the Arab world They are Moroccan territories originally according to history and geography. Already their problem is unique and difficult because they are I guess from the oldest colonies or occupied territories in the world . The Moroccan people are demanding them to return back to the Moroccan Arabic sovereignty but talking is just simple I remember that I read reports and saw Arabic documentaries about them , one of them in Nile News "This i

ARTIVISTIC 2007[ UN.OCCUPIED SPACES ]25 to 27 October 2007 :: Montrealhttp://www.artivistic.orgArtivistic is an international transdisciplinary three-day gathering on the interPlay between art, information and activism. Artivistic emerges out of the proposition that not only artists talk about art, academics about theory, and activists about activism. Founded in 2004, the event aims to promote transdisciplinary and intercultural dialogue on activist art beyond critique,to create and facilitate a human network of diverse peoples, and to inspire, proliferate, activate.For the third edition of Artivistic, the expression [ un.occupied spaces ] was chosen to stimulate new ideas in response to the hidden confusions caused by the infinite networks of 21C globalization and neo-liberalism. [ un.occupied spaces ] dares to link the charged issues of environmentalism, indigenous and migrant struggles, and urban practices together through the angle of occupation. In an interconnected world, critica

Nicole Richie will apparently use the same facility that became famous during the unforgettable "Paris Hilton Goes to Jail" stint that America will somehow never forget. According to an article on Reuters, we will only have to endure 4 days of "Nicole Goes to Jail."

The weather is nice today, not too hot, and pretty windy. So, I had a fine time enjoying the outdoor. Our baby girl won't go to sleep so, I thought I would hang out in Tiana's tent. That was nice. I went back in the house, and put our baby to sleep. I had to give her a little massage just so she would sleep, otherwise she could spend all day exploring. She is so curious, and just wants to play all the time. Boy, she can surely keep me occupied.

A few weeks ago I wrote a post asking my readers what they would say if someone knocked on their bathroom door while they were out in public using the facilities. Of course there were the customary answers, “just a minute,” “occupied,” “someone’s in here” and “one second.” But there were also some pretty ingenious responses. 13. “Here!” 12. “Yes?” 11. “Be done in a jiff.” 10. “Hello?” 9. “How-DEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!” 8. “Someone is in here, DUH!” 7. “Wait your (more…)

Hi everyone, I am afraid, I won't be able to response to your comments sooner-not as soon as I would like to, due to that I have such a hectic life. I can hardly get around to blogs I used to visit often, so, please excuse me for that. If I don't make it to visit your blog right away, I am just busy as can be, having a little one to attend to and a school girl to deal with, too, makes me pre-occupied. That is, especially now, that I have a sideline job; blogging, it is becoming a job for me but, it pays, so it is somewhat like a job-I'd say...LOL. I am always wrapped up with all my never ending house chores, taking care of our children, and blogging...LOL-I need a hand! Anyway, I'll eventually visit you as soon as time permits me. See you...!

The other day while I was working out at the gym I drank too much water and as a result I needed to use the bathroom facilities. While taking care of business someone knocked on the door. What exactly do you yell from the throne to some stranger to let them know the potty is being used? At home a simple, “Yeah?” will do, but out in public? What would you say? And yes, I seriously want to hear your answers . Rudy says he would just shout, “Hello?”

In one of my fav. blogs I happened to answer a lateral thinking puzzle...I just got initiated an started reading about it.. SO here is your Puzzle:There are six eggs in a basket; six people take one egg each...Still one egg remains in the basket.How ?For answers wait till tomorrow

Sunday 8, 2007 – Approximately 5:00 am on Drainage Divide Ln. a person tried to set fire to a mobile home by throwing 1 or 2 containers of kerosene in to the trailer. The person that lived there was home and was able to get a handle on the fire before the firefighters arrived. The damage was kept to a minimum. The State Police fire investigator was called to the seen, and it is being treated as a attempted arson. Photo/Story Nathan Combs

There are two schools of thought about whether it is better to show a house empty or with the furnishings in it. An empty house is like a blank canvas, and prospective buyers can more easily imagine what their things would look like in it. But buyers could take the fact that the house is vacant as a sign that the sellers are very anxious to sell and, therefore, might entertain a low offer.Our recommendations are usually based on how the house would look. Personal taste is highly subjective.Unless your furniture looks really wonderful and is neutral in color and conservative in style, it could distract buyers from the most attractive qualities of your home. The fact that your home is vacant could give it a competitive edge when they make their final selection. Will it attract low offers? It might, but if the price is right, it will attract reasonable offers, too. Colorado Real Estate Resources www.danielsteam.com
