Numan (follow the link for the video):<br /><br />‘Camera in a private residence violates privacy of intruder’<br /><br />EMMEN — Police in Drenthe province placed video images of an intruder on the Internet. Doing that damages the privacy of an intruder, is the opinion of the Lawbreakers Association [yes, it really exists — translator]. The Association filed a complaint with the National Ombudsman.<br /><br />The images show the suspect searching the living room of an 88-year-old woman in Emmen. The cameras were put in place by the woman’s family, because it isn’t the first time this suspect broke in to her house. The family handed the tapes in to the police.What is "Occupation"https://www.blogger.com/profile/08237879055691019968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-42970687022913067742009-10-24T22:56:05.821-04:002009-10-24T22:56:05.821-04:00Over there their shake their leis.Over there their shake their leis.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-22592103119374847852009-10-24T22:53:57.212-04:002009-10-24T22:53:57.212-04:00"in bed"

Japan’s outstanding debt is as big as the economies of Britain, France and Germany combined.<br /><br />---<br />Still, officials insist that Japan is better off than the United States by some measures.<br /><br />One hugely important difference is that Japan is rich in personal savings and assets, and owes less than 10 percent of its debt to foreigners. By comparison, about 46 percent of America’s debt is held overseas by countries such as China and Japan.<br /><br />Moreover, half of Japan’s government bonds are held by the public sector, while government regulations encourage long-term investors like banks, pension funds and insurance companies to buy up the rest.Doughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16770268554450465514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-77278847309348558112009-10-24T21:24:48.845-04:002009-10-24T21:24:48.845-04:00Bobal, driving around Pocatello I saw houses with ...Bobal, driving around Pocatello I saw houses with really nice medium sized windmills going like crazy, I betcha they had enough juice left over to make a nice chunk selling it back.Teresitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05528002521904908827noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-27111173146238429112009-10-24T20:07:51.159-04:002009-10-24T20:07:51.159-04:00I guess a little larger than that.
