Olli Rehn wants to check and approve the budgets of the European member states.

Looks like he is going for the ‘United State of Europe’ stepping over the European Parliament, every constitution and agreement with member states.

Randy Newman

I went to a Randy Newman concert last night. It had been a while since he visited our small town lasttime.

Rany Newman

It was a great concert. His voice was surprisingly good. He doesn’t reach the high notes anymore, but then again he was never known for the Pavaroti type singing voice.

It’s Money That I Love, Sail away, Short people, Lonely at the top, Living without you, Dayton Ohio, You Can Leave Your Hat On, God’s Song, Rednecks, Birmingham, Guilty, Kingfish, Short People, In Germany before the war, Baltimore, Rider in the Rain, The Girls in My Life (Part One), I Love L.A., My Live is Good, Song for the Dead, You’ve Got a Friend in Me, …..
Two hours of great songs on the piano with whitty remarks in between.

Great night.

The fire is going out in the Netherlands

Essent is sold to RWE.[Link to article]

The Netherlands only has four major energy companies. Essent is one of the biggest.
Every country in Europe understands the importance of being not to dependant on other countries when it is about energy. The Dutch government is going another path and is selling the fire of it’s economy. Next in line for being sold, within a couple of weeks, is Nuon which is the second biggest energy company.

BBC NEWS | Business | Norway tops gender equality list

The Netherlands seems to be in the European top of the number of men and women working part time. A poll also showed that a large part of the Dutch women (married and single, with and without children) did not want to work more than 3 days.

What does that say?
