Tui sings Pizza Hutt song

Abacus woke up at 3:30 and never really went to sleep, so I took her for a walk really early and as we passed the police station they were raising the flag while the national anthem played all the motorcycle cops wore their helmets and it reminded me of a scene from THX1138. Thai cops looks as though they've studied every cheesy American cop show, they all wear sunglasses and have this bad ass look about them. later in the afternoon I would see one of them outside the detenion center waving a wad of 100Baht notes in a burmese guys face while patting his back pocket. Abacus finally went to sleep at around 7:30 just as we arived at a coffee shop, the one where al the Americans and Christians hang out. When we went on the cafe computer, Danielle noticed the most visited sites on Crome were; CNN, CNN international and . . . FOX NEWS!!! It was pretty pathetic. So then we decided to look at TV3 news for a laugh and, true to form, found a whole bunch of animal stories on the front page, like "Cat reunited with owner thanks to microchipping" and "Tui sings Pizza Hutt song", it was a good to see New Zealand is still occupied with the pressing issues.
We went for a walk to breakfast and along the way stopped to look for pants for Abacus. We got two pairs and a pair of cute shoes for like $16 new zealand. While we painfully tried to ask "What age child would wear this size shoe" (such a simple sentence is painfully hard to describe without words), Abacus started to wake up. A young homeless burmese boy, who sniffed in vain at the thick snot in his nose, stood over her with concern, pointing at her hat, which had fallen over her eyes. We gave him five baht, In most countries it seems counterproductive to give money to homeless people, knowing it won't solve the problems within their country which lead to such destitution, especialy when they flock to westerners, knowing their own country people won't help them. But Burmese barely even have a country, how many people could even locate it on a map? It's a black hole that has swallowed its inhabitants and now sits ominously in covert silence. There are barefoot kids with sun darkened faces who pick up garbage, they're happy, they run and play with each other in the streets, excitedly looking for plastic bottles to fill their wooden carts. They'll come up to the window of the Starbuckian westerner  patronised cafe and knock, miming eating with either broad smiles or contrived pitiful faces, the people inside ignore them, even though they're probably in Mae Sot to help refugees and even though most of them are uber christian. I like to get up and go to the door and give them what ever coins I have, while it won't change anything in their lives it'll make today a little easier. Later on we would see that little boy trailing behind his older sister who was holding their younger sibling, while their mother, walking ahead of them, held a new born. They would stay here collecting money until they're rounded up in a police pick up truck, like the one I would see later in the afternoon, which was watched from afar by another mother, who's son peeked out from beneath a blanket under which he hid, the mother watched as if to see anyone she knew amongst the newly collected illegal migrants, the boys eyes looked filled with fear. How are the lives of so many, so completely destroyed by so few and for what ? 
Abacus had a crazy sleepless day with a lot of loud scream talking. 
Danielle had a good day, finally having her contributions recognised positively by a superior, putting to rest the uneasieness she's felt since the personal attack in her first week, even finding out her assailant is not regarded in the best light around town. They really like what Danielle's been doing, it's so good for her to hear.

t ClothesAs opposed to regular street clothes, mountain bikers prefer gear made from breathable materials. The best mountain biking clothes feature a snug fit and allow the outside air to absorb your perspiration. Lightweight materials, such as polyester, prevent the mountain biking clothes from hindering your movement. Banned ItemsIn May 2011, FIFA banned players from wearing snoods, a cylindrical piece of cloth worn around the neck in a similar way to a scarf. The ban was implemented after a spate of snood-wearing in the English Premier League and in other European countries. Players argued the garment kept their necks warm, but soccer law-makers pointed to the potential safety problems posed by the snood.CausesWhile cycling, the pressure between your feet and the pedals can cause blood blisters, as can pressure and friction from cycling shoes that are too tight. Your grip on the handlebars is another source of pressure that can prompt blood blister formation. This is more likely in off-road biking, when your hands experience considerable pressure and friction as you grip the handlebars tightly and try to hold them straight. [url=http://www.cyclingcloth.com/]Cycling Cloth[/url] But they only work efficiently when there is good contact between the pan and the hot glass surface; energy will go to waste if pan bottoms are even slightly rounded. Standard electric coils -- those spiral types we're all used to seeing -- by the way, are at the bottom of the barrel when it comes to energy efficiency. An efficient dishwasher, for instance, can use a lot less water than washing the dishes by hand in the sink. The best time to measure is in the morning, before you eat breakfast or even have a cup of coffee. Relax your body and don't suck in your belly. Take off your shirt, as clothing can throw off the measurement. It should not be used as a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis or treatment.

[url=http://www.cyclingcloth.com/]Cycle Jersey[/url] The sleeping bag that will perform the best in cold weather camping conditions is a synthetic one, since those made of natural fibers or down will lose their ability to keep a person warm if they become wet. "Mummy" style sleeping bags that closely encase a person and have a hood to keep the head warm should be used. Sleeping with the head beneath the covers will bring the humidity level up, making the interior of the sleeping bag damp.common sense tips for tent campers Alternatives include fabric, wooden or tin toys (think finger puppets, sailboats and pouring cups). There are also manufacturers including Boon, Spielstabil, and Sassy that make BPA-free, PVC-free, and phthalate-free bath toys. Make sure you read the label on each product, as chemical content can vary.
