I believe the current minimum wage in Australia is AU $15.51/hr.. Sure, they pay double, but they also take home a higher income. You'd need to measure the price increases based on proportion of income and also factor in currency differences.http://www.baconbuzz.com/r/Cooking/comments/paj2o/i_am_an_american_soldier_i_love_to_cook_i_made_a/c3o3memhttp://www.baconbuzz.com/r/Cooking/comments/paj2o/i_am_an_american_soldier_i_love_to_cook_i_made_a/c3o3mem2012-02-05T06:39:38.365059-07:00-0700>just cooking from who I am. That's what makes your blog great. Over time, you'll add your enhancements, but I like the simplicity and utilitarian-ness you have, because to me, that's how a soldier would do it. For example, I really like the fact there's splatter all over the wall as you're cooking. An army dude wouldn't worry about shit like that. Certainly, a bit of lighting and sharper focus would add to it, but don't get too slick.http://www.baconbuzz.com/r/IAmA/comments/p4s50/iama_acoustic_guitarist_named_andy_mckee_ama/c3mlbj8http://www.baconbuzz.com/r/IAmA/comments/p4s50/iama_acoustic_guitarist_named_andy_mckee_ama/c3mlbj82012-01-31T15:08:41.657302-07:00-0700That's what epidurals are for...a much more relaxed experience. Also, the 'birthing' experience usually takes hours. It's only the last half hour or so when the pushing begins that it becomes intense. During the hours before, music would have been nice to keep me relaxed.http://www.baconbuzz.com/r/Cooking/comments/p189d/i_started_making_my_own_pasta_what_do_you_think/c3m9r5ihttp://www.baconbuzz.com/r/Cooking/comments/p189d/i_started_making_my_own_pasta_what_do_you_think/c3m9r5i2012-01-30T17:57:10.029817-07:00-0700She probably has [this.](http://www.williams-sonoma.com/products/kitchenaid-pasta-press-attachment/) I have he crappy plastic ones too, and my machine motor went haywire, even with me putting small pieces in.http://www.baconbuzz.com/r/Cooking/comments/p189d/i_started_making_my_own_pasta_what_do_you_think/c3lrnm6http://www.baconbuzz.com/r/Cooking/comments/p189d/i_started_making_my_own_pasta_what_do_you_think/c3lrnm62012-01-29T06:23:49.579029-07:00-0700Not only that, but there is nothing wrong with a patina built up from roasting! Your pan will become non-stick, and the quality of whatever you make in it will improve.http://www.baconbuzz.com/r/Cooking/comments/p189d/i_started_making_my_own_pasta_what_do_you_think/c3lrng1http://www.baconbuzz.com/r/Cooking/comments/p189d/i_started_making_my_own_pasta_what_do_you_think/c3lrng12012-01-29T06:22:28.929420-07:00-0700Are you the type that scrubs off the makings of a great patina off your cookware? Whenever I see brand new looking pans, all I can think of is 'this person never cooks'. My grandfather (who was a chef) used to purposely season new pans with hot oil to break them in before actually cooking with them.http://www.baconbuzz.com/r/Cooking/comments/p189d/i_started_making_my_own_pasta_what_do_you_think/c3lrmw8http://www.baconbuzz.com/r/Cooking/comments/p189d/i_started_making_my_own_pasta_what_do_you_think/c3lrmw82012-01-29T06:18:05.055990-07:00-0700Thank you so much for posting this. I also have the KitchenAid pasta extruder, but have been hesitant to try it.

It's not so much the cold as it is the dampness coupled with the wind that seems to go right through you. I prefer very cold but dry days.http://www.baconbuzz.com/r/halifax/comments/oxzkt/halifax_wedding_ideas/c3le0z9http://www.baconbuzz.com/r/halifax/comments/oxzkt/halifax_wedding_ideas/c3le0z92012-01-27T18:41:48.684456-07:00-0700Yes!http://www.baconbuzz.com/r/halifax/comments/oxzkt/halifax_wedding_ideas/c3l0fzghttp://www.baconbuzz.com/r/halifax/comments/oxzkt/halifax_wedding_ideas/c3l0fzg2012-01-26T16:45:15.090439-07:00-0700Have you looked at the Diman Centre on Kearney Lake Road? You can do both the wedding and reception there. It's unique, and it has a kitchen, so you could do your own catering. I love the high ceilings with a balcony on the second floor overlooking the main floor below.http://www.baconbuzz.com/r/food/comments/oxnwh/may_i_present_the_childs_breakfast_named_because/c3kzk4nhttp://www.baconbuzz.com/r/food/comments/oxnwh/may_i_present_the_childs_breakfast_named_because/c3kzk4n2012-01-26T15:26:26.717693-07:00-0700Yep, only we call it glucose/fructose.http://www.baconbuzz.com/r/pics/comments/owiox/put_my_anything_but_clothes_party_dress_on/c3kmsxbhttp://www.baconbuzz.com/r/pics/comments/owiox/put_my_anything_but_clothes_party_dress_on/c3kmsxb2012-01-25T15:27:46.180941-07:00-0700Actually no.

They tend to implement anything affecting tax revenue on this date so they can predict.http://www.baconbuzz.com/r/canada/comments/oumg9/seriously_canada_stop_going_to_mexico/c3kbe8dhttp://www.baconbuzz.com/r/canada/comments/oumg9/seriously_canada_stop_going_to_mexico/c3kbe8d2012-01-24T17:45:00.131739-07:00-0700I live in Halifax. We get nothing but 'wintry mix', aka, slush, non-stop this time of year. In fact, it was -10 yesterday, and +10 today, with grey, wet and dampness. By the time we get to April, we're about to kill each other. We are a four hour flight away to the Caribbean. Loving the ocean the way I do, it is absolute joy to spend a week in it without having to freeze my tits off. Feeling the warmth of the sun and getting some Vitamin D are a great break from the everlong slush-fest that is Haligonian winter. If I had the cash this year, I'd be there somewhere. But not Mexico.http://www.baconbuzz.com/r/canada/comments/oumg9/seriously_canada_stop_going_to_mexico/c3kbb21http://www.baconbuzz.com/r/canada/comments/oumg9/seriously_canada_stop_going_to_mexico/c3kbb212012-01-24T17:36:30.937984-07:00-0700I believe they are referring to the Dominican Republic. Colloquially, a lot of people refer to it as 'the Dominican'.http://www.baconbuzz.com/r/WTF/comments/ouknf/i_think_its_time_to_move_my_son_to_a_new_school/c3kafpqhttp://www.baconbuzz.com/r/WTF/comments/ouknf/i_think_its_time_to_move_my_son_to_a_new_school/c3kafpq2012-01-24T16:13:57.288008-07:00-0700You explained my grandmother's philosophy so well. She always said, "if you're big enough to ask the question, you're big enough to deserve an answer." And by that, she meant an honest one, but explained in a way they can understand. I do the same with my 6 year old, and I'm always amazed when he starts talking clearly about something I told him weeks before. I don't think we give kids enough credit for how much they do understand. I think they struggle to communicate everything they inherently know, as though their language skills need to catch up.http://www.baconbuzz.com/r/AskReddit/comments/oro97/ive_been_diagnosed_with_stage_ii_breast_cancer_im/c3jls5thttp://www.baconbuzz.com/r/AskReddit/comments/oro97/ive_been_diagnosed_with_stage_ii_breast_cancer_im/c3jls5t2012-01-22T18:00:10.072428-07:00-0700This is such wisdom. As my dad's caregiver (he had emphysema) I began to accept that the longer he lived, the more he would suffer. At that point, I wanted peace for him. I grieved for him before death; for the quality of what his life used to be. I miss him dearly (its been 4 years) but felt relief when he passed. Not because I felt a burden, but because it is so awful watching loved ones live in misery.http://www.baconbuzz.com/r/AskReddit/comments/oro97/ive_been_diagnosed_with_stage_ii_breast_cancer_im/c3jlj39http://www.baconbuzz.com/r/AskReddit/comments/oro97/ive_been_diagnosed_with_stage_ii_breast_cancer_im/c3jlj392012-01-22T17:34:53.031531-07:00-0700If it did, you're not alone. I thought that was hilarious. Besides, didn't the OP ask for some laughs?http://www.baconbuzz.com/r/Parenting/comments/or0w7/how_my_wife_announced_the_birth_of_our_son/c3jkk31http://www.baconbuzz.com/r/Parenting/comments/or0w7/how_my_wife_announced_the_birth_of_our_son/c3jkk312012-01-22T15:59:48.165553-07:00-0700Oi!

I do know people born into privilege who still had to work and strive, mainly because their parents made sure they understood that nothing in life comes for free. I don't think this girl meant you had to 'suffer', so much as the feeling of achievement can bring happiness. I grew up pretty poor, and know plenty of poor folk who also don't know how to strive either, and they are fairly unhappy. In this case, it's not because they have everything, it's because they don't believe achievement is possible. Hence, the cycle of welfare. I see trust fund kids the same way, except they have a larger amount of welfare.http://www.baconbuzz.com/r/worldnews/comments/onec3/hallelujah_canadians_agree_its_time_to_legalize/c3ipfzxhttp://www.baconbuzz.com/r/worldnews/comments/onec3/hallelujah_canadians_agree_its_time_to_legalize/c3ipfzx2012-01-19T17:53:07.897994-07:00-0700To be fair, 36% of the voters elected a Conservative candidate, which translated into a majority of seats. Only the riding of Calgary south elected Harper. Because there are five parties that voters could choose from, the majority did not actually vote conservative. Damn first-past-the-post parliamentary system!http://www.baconbuzz.com/r/worldnews/comments/onec3/hallelujah_canadians_agree_its_time_to_legalize/c3ip882http://www.baconbuzz.com/r/worldnews/comments/onec3/hallelujah_canadians_agree_its_time_to_legalize/c3ip8822012-01-19T17:31:43.558074-07:00-0700Our navy patrols our waters for more than just defence. Our ships are highly inadequate, and if we cant maintain a marine presence along our own coastline, our fishing industry and natural resource sectors would be at risk. Maintaining our soveriegnty is worth it.http://www.baconbuzz.com/r/canada/comments/onda5/til_norway_nationalized_its_oil_developments/c3ip2gvhttp://www.baconbuzz.com/r/canada/comments/onda5/til_norway_nationalized_its_oil_developments/c3ip2gv2012-01-19T17:16:35.548088-07:00-0700Considering too that most of the people actually working in the oil sands are from Atlantic Canada, I always find the lazy argument pretty funny. Being from Halifax, I feel fortunate that I've been able to work consistently since I was 15, and have a good job. I am looking forward to having those folks in Alberta be able to come home with he shipbuilding contract. We do work hard, and want opportunities, not handouts.
