Enjoying one good listen after the next!
"Wealth as an Enemy of Traditional Values"
I can vaguely recall "reading" this book as a sophomore or junior in high school and preparing a book report as a class assignment. However since that was several decades ago, before listening to this Audible book, I had no recollection of the substance of the book, so I enjoyed rediscovering it.
The Good Earth is a simplistic story -- almost like a fable or analogy -- that remains applicable and can be instructive, even in this modern day and age. Wealth as a destroyer of traditional values, the cycle of nature ,and the oppression of women are three of the major themes of the book.
There are lots of take aways, but one seems paramount and timely: when we are without wealth, we can be critical of the lifestyles, morality and culture of the wealthy; but when we become wealthy, it is easy to adopt those same lifestyles, moral codes and cultures. Interesting, the outcomes we observe for the wealthy are parallelled in our own experiences, and happiness is not among them.
The narration of this audio-book is superb! Anthony Heald is simply wonderful. Pearl S. Buck's writing, somewhat barebones in terms of background and description, stands the test of time and warrants accolades.
This is a great book!
I am an avid eclectic reader.
"A Classic Read"
This book was written in 1931 as the first book in a trilogy. Peal Buck won the Pulitzer Prize for this book in 1932. She was also the first American woman to win the Nobel Prize in Literature. She was born and raised in China of American parents. She was a professor at the University in Nanking when the Japanese attack. She kept trying to return to China but the communist government refused her.
The other books in the trilogy are "Sons" and "A House Divided".
This book is a tale of Wang Lung a Chinese farmer in old agrarian china. He survives drought, famine, floods, locust invasions, war and family problems. Though it all he manages to succeed in building his farm. Buck brings the story to life and paints a picture of China in the 1890's. Anthony Heald does a great job narrating the story. When you read this book you will understand why Buck is considered a master story teller. I am glad to see Audible offering her books and hope they will offer all of them.
"Perhaps the Pulitzer award was politically driven"
Although the craftsmanship of the author was excellent, I was left feeling entirely underwhelmed and even a little empty after listening to this work. There was no deep character development and at that, the characters all seemed simple-minded and even base - quasi animal-like. And perhaps that was the message, that we are all just simple, base, primary needs driven creatures. Having said this, I actually doubt that Buck was trying to make that the main point of the work. And so, was the main thrust that the land is virtuous in some way? If that was her point, then she fell short of explaining why.
I believe there's a chance that this work rose to its Pulitzer prize winning status due to political/sociological events going on at the time, i.e., the depression and class struggles. I doubt it's an accident that this work, extolling the virtues of farmers and portraying the wealthy as entirely negative entities, sold well during the 30's and ultimately was chosen in 1938 to win the Pulitzer.
Anyway, I would like to say that the narration was EXCELLENT! Bravo to Anthony Heald!
"Well and it is very good listening!"
Anthony Heald does this gem of a story much justice! His voices are spot on, and it is magical the way the voice of Wang Lung gradually changes with his age. The narration is done with all the flavor, pathos and gentle humor that this marvelous book contains. The characters are gorgeously expressed, be they young or old men, quiet or clamorous women, or naughty or nice children. You will love this story and the storyteller equally!
Enjoyed this book very much. Excellent narrater and the story kept me interested every step of the way. I would recommend this book highly. Very excellent!
We bite
"a classic, sort of..."
Famous book. Ok, I get that. I do not regret having read it an there are some things I took away from it. However, I did not feel that it was such a great book that it should still be in print today. It shocked me how boring the characters were. You would find more challenging spirits in a Steinbeck or Hemingway novel. Overall, I felt it was a very boring story and I think people have to say its great because its a classic. That is me, reviewing this as an American under the scope of American culture. Maybe it really is this boring and joyless to be a Chinese farmer. These people are not deep by any sense. They could all die and you wouldn't care. To pop babies out and view them as property and view your women as property and pretty much do whatever the hell you please, that's how they live. As I said, I do not regret reading it and the narration was amazing. However, I don't see how this has stuck around so long. If this is how modern Chinese people think and feel, then its gotta suck to be Chinese.
"This is highly deserving of its Pulitzer prize"
This book magnificently draws the reader into the story where there are numerous subplots -- all about the Chinese way of life at the turn of the century. The narrator does a wonderful job of the different vocalizations required -- I listened to it in a weekend -- I wish I could find another classic that was this excellent!
Rob Thomas
"Top notch narration. Fantastic story."
I really enjoyed this throroughly-convincing rollercoaster of a book.
And Anthony Heald's narration was perfect. He performed each character perfectly.
I've been meaning to read this book since my sister recommended to me in the mid-1970s. So glad I finally did.
"A wonderful classic about rural China"
This is a wonderful classic that brings you into the world of rural peasants in China at the turn of the 20th century when some things are beginning to modernize. I am going to go fairly deeply into the plot so skip this paragraph if you don't want to know more! Our hero, Wan Lung is a poor peasant farmer devoted to his land. Too poor to find a good bride, his aging father purchases a slave woman – O-Lan – from a wealthy family to be his bride. The couple is happy though silent with each other. O-Lan is a devoted worker in both the house and field and they prosper enough to buy some more land from the wealthy lords. O-Lan is fertile and they are blessed with sons and a daughter (daughters are considered slaves because they will eventually move into the house of another family). But their prosperity is halted by a terrible famine. They come near to starvation when they decide to migrate south to a big city just to survive. O-Lan gives birth to a dead daughter (or perhaps strangled) and the family sets out. They encounter the railroad for the first time. In the big city they struggle by begging and manual labor just to have enough to eat. The youngest child – a daughter – seems to never recover from the starvation and is mentally retarded but Wan Lung loves her and refuses to sell her to survive. When an instability arises the poor peasants storm a great house and Wan Lung and O-lan find enough valuables to let them go back to the land he loves so much and farm again and again he prospers. But when floods stop all work he becomes bored and spends time in the town at the tea houses and becomes mesmerized by a lovely prostitute named Lotus and eventually buys her to be his concubine. O-Lan is heartbroken but says almost nothing. The two women live tensely in the different sections of his house. O-Lan's health is failing from hard labor and many pregnancies. She dies just after the eldest son takes a city wife who is more like Lotus than O-Lan herself. Wan Lung prospers and continues to buy more land. He becomes so rich that eventually he takes over the house of the wealthy family and can rent out his land for others to farm. His sons become educated and live like rich men with no attachment to the land except to take the money it brings in. Their wives fight and there is little peace in the house. Grandchildren continue to come. In his old age Wan Lung finds a lovely young slave girl and takes her to him causing more conflict. In his old age his sons run everything and Wan Lung stays with his slave girl and his retarded daughter whom he eventually entrusts to the slave girl. In the end he is very old and still loves his land but his greedy sons are talking about selling land as soon as he is gone.
The writing is lovely, the characters real and easy to keep track of. For example, instead of confusing us with many Chinese names, she refers to the sons as eldest son, second son, etc., and the other relatives as uncle, etc.. This really helps. The reading is beautifully done. It is mesmerizing and I loved it.
"Countdown to Revolution"
Probably not. I greatly appreciated learning what the book had to teach me but it is a difficult book to read, at least for me it was, emotionally. I typically pick books to re-read which are enjoyable or comforting.
I recommend other readers try 'The Wild Swans: Three Daughters of China' by Jung Chang which continues the story of the Great China Cultural Revolution through the lives of three generations of women.
'The Good Earth' reminds me also of an American classic, 'The Grapes of Wrath' by John Steinbeck which also takes place in the 1930's and is centered around around a man and his family relocating to enable them to survive.
The scenes with the father and his first daughter---very touching scenes.
The wife's last days and her life.

Brazil's Soccer Secretary Opposes Premier League-Style Structure
Oct. 29 (Bloomberg) -- Brazil's plans to reform soccer after decades of mismanagement won't include an English Premier League-style model because it would weaken the national team, according to the government official overseeing the sport.
Lawmakers, club presidents and the Brazilian football confederation, or CBF, have been discussing the creation a new soccer structure as Brazil prepares to host the 2014 World Cup.
Revenue for Brazil's top 24 teams reached 3 billion reais ($1.4 billion) in 2012, according to a study by bank Itau BBA. The 20 clubs in the Premier League, soccer's richest, generated 2.3 billion pounds ($3.7 billion) in 2011-12, Deloitte LLP said. England's elite division has opened up to foreign ownership and teams are largely made up of overseas talent, reducing game-time at the top level for local players.
"It's a great league, but it's very bad for the national team," Toninho Nascimento, Brazil's national secretary for soccer, said in an interview. "We don't want this in Brazil."
More than half of Premier League team owners, including Chelsea's Roman Abramovich and Arsenal's Stan Kroenke, come from outside the U.K. English players account for less than a third of playing time this season, according to a British Broadcasting Corp. study published earlier this month. English Football Association Chairman Greg Dyke has set up a commission to look at ways of improving the national team amid concern a lack of homegrown talent is to blame for England's failure to win a major championship since its sole World Cup triumph in 1966.
'Big Problem'
Nascimento, a former sports editor of Brazil's O Globo, said although the spectacle served up by the 21-year-old Premier League is "marvelous," it comes at a cost. Squads full of foreigners harm national team prospects, he said.
"We have to be careful about what we do," Nascimento added. "The system in England is a big problem."
About 70 percent of all Premier League players are foreign compared to 6.9 percent in Brazil, according to website transfermarkt.co.uk, which monitors trades. The most high-profile are Dutch midfielder Clarence Seedorf of Rio de Janeiro's Botafogo and Uruguay striker Diego Forlan at Internacional, which plays in Porto Alegre.
Richard Scudamore, the Premier League's chief executive officer, told reporters in July that his competition isn't to blame for England's title drought.
The league "didn't start until 1992," Scudamore said. "What happened between 1966 and 1992? Whose fault was that? The whole thing is immensely frustrating. It cannot be our fault on any level."
World Cup Will
Brazil will go for a record-extending sixth World Cup title when it hosts next year's tournament. Nascimento said staging the quadrennial event has helped to create momentum to fix the domestic game.
Professional clubs' debt to the state has swollen to 4.5 billion reais, mostly through unpaid taxes. A group of leading players has also started an organization called Bom Senso FC, or Common Sense FC, to demand that the CBF improve their conditions. Players say the local soccer calendar risks their health because of the number of games they're expected to play. They've also called for penalties for teams that don't pay salaries on time, a commonplace occurrence in Brazil.
"I agree with the players," Nascimento said. "The players are the spectacle so if we don't protect them we don't protect the spectacle."
Cluttered Calendar
Brazil's soccer season starts in January with state championships, followed by the national league, a domestic cup competition and South American championships, and it ends in early December. Nascimento said he'd like Brazil to adopt a European calendar running from August through May, and reduce the number of matches top teams play. Because of the World Cup, the league will have to break off midway before reconvening.
"That's absurd," said Nascimento. "The rest of the world doesn't have this problem. Why are we so different?"
He also said a deal allowing clubs to refinance their debt, provided they sign up to tighter governance guidelines, is likely to be agreed by December. The regulations, which will allow debt to be repaid to the state over 15 or 20 years, include penalties such as points deductions and even relegation.
Romario, the 1994 World Cup winner who's now a Brazilian lawmaker, said Oct. 16 that authorities won't be able to administer the policy because clubs are too powerful.
Similar misgivings when the current league format was created in 2003 have proved unfounded, according to Nascimento. Critics said at the time the biggest teams would be saved if they were at risk of being demoted to the second tier.
"That didn't happen," Nascimento said. "So his argument is wrong."

Safe Kids PA and Partners Host Free Child Safety Event September 17, 2009
HARRISBURG, Pa., Sept. 15 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ — Safe Kids Pennsylvania, PennDOT, Lawrence Chevrolet and Silver Spring Township Police are teaming up for child safety. The organizations are urging parents and caregivers to make sure their child safety seats are properly installed in their vehicles and receive a Child ID kit at a free Child Safety Event on Thursday, September 17.
Certified child passenger safety technicians will be available to provide hands-on instruction on installing car seats and booster seats at Lawrence Chevrolet on the Carlisle Pike in Mechanicsburg from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. Silver Spring Township Police will be on site offering free identification kits that collect information that can be beneficial when police try to identify missing or runaway children.
"It's the responsibility of every parent and caregiver to make sure their children are safely restrained — every trip, every time and at every age," said Anne Franchak, Director of Safe Kids PA. "We are inviting everyone to have their child checked to be sure they are using the right restraint — a car seat, booster seat or seat belt. When it comes to the safety of a child, there is no room for mistakes."
According to a 2008 study by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the use of child restraints declines as children get older. From birth to 12 months, 99 percent of children ride in a restraint. It drops to 92 percent for kids ages 1 to 3. For kids ages 4 to 7, 89 percent are restrained. But only 85 percent of kids ages 8 to 12 ride in a restraint.
"Parents need to set the rules and stay vigilant," Franchak added. "Booster seats and seat belts are just as important for older kids as car seats are for younger kids."
Child ID Kits help parents keep recent photographs and other information about their child on hand. Though many are recovered quickly, almost 800,000 children are reported missing in the United States every year. Silver Spring Township Police are providing free Child ID Kits that help parents record physical characteristics of their child, fingerprints, photographs and other identifying information. This information can be critical in the event a child goes missing, and having that information readily available saves precious time.
The event is offered as part of Child Passenger Safety Week, which runs from September 12 through 18.
WHO: Anne Franchak, executive director, Safe Kids PA; Rhonda Scullen, Lawrence Chevrolet; Fritzi Schreffler, safety press officer, PennDOT District 8; and Chief James Sadler, Silver Spring Township Police Department.
WHAT: Brief news conference on the importance of child safety, followed by FREE car seat check-ups and Child ID Kits.
WHEN: THURSDAY, September 17 — news conference at 4 p.m., car seat check-up and child ID kit event from 4-7 p.m.
WHERE: Lawrence Chevrolet, 6445 Carlisle Pike, Mechanicsburg.

A good sized pike spoon and a nice casting weight, the edges are a bit sharp and could have been more rounded, good colour pattern and worth the money.

I love this book, as do my daughters. It is so informative for the beginner horse worshiper!! We do not own a horse or pony but would like to one day.

What's the working agenda at theses tea parties?
I watched a couple TV news spots the other day on the Tea Party movement. If this group wasn't so potentially disastrous it might be comical. These are people running around with tea bags on their heads waving signs against taxation, government and as far as I can determine, currently anything having to do with Democrats.
Apparently largely uncoordinated, one bunch is in Nashville holding a convention, another is on a cruise in the Bahamas (I guess this is the faction unbothered by taxes) advocating President Obama's impeachment because he isn't a citizen, and still others (including two founders of the movement) are in Washington, D.C., demonstrating because they won't attend the Nashville convention due to its $500 ticket price.
In not one of the spots I watched did I detect even a hint of what they proposed for correcting any of the problems they claim to be protesting (except, of course, Obama's impeachment). Bottom line seems to be just defeat anybody now in office, regardless of party.
The original intent of this movement was launched by people claiming to be Independents and was fanned further by the recent election of Scott Brown in Massachusetts. Now it looks like it has been hijacked by the far right Republicans. How else can they explain spokespersons like Sarah Palin and Alan Keyes?
Some of the statements made by Tea Party members, the signs they carry and choice of spokespersons make me wonder if they might be partaking of substances much stronger than tea. More than a political party, they look like what we in the military used to claim about civilians — a bunch of people in different kinds of clothes running around with nobody in charge.
Mineral Ridge
Quite a deal for corporations
A constitutional amendment to make the Constitution, as it was written, for the people, is long overdue. As it says, "We the people make this Constitution for ourselves and our posterity." No where in the Constitution does it give any rights to nonentities. The Declaration of Independence, the basis of all our laws, says all men are created equal and have rights. It does not say corporations have rights.
Corporations do not have a conscience or soul. They cannot be punished as a person. You cannot put a corporation in prison. You cannot put a corporation to death for murder, because it has no life as does a human to be taken away. It can only be fined and it recoups the money by passing the bill on to the us. It cannot serve in the military and give its life for its country. It has no allegiance to this country and our flag. It has no heart that can break at the site of a dead or wounded solder.
And now the Supreme Court says corporations have the same rights as service men and women who put their lives on the line for this country. That it has the same rights as the mothers and fathers who sent their child to die for this country. As the brothers and sisters who will never see their siblings. As the wife who lost her husband. As the child who will grow up without his father. As the men and women who have come home from serving this country with horrible wounds.
As it now stands, corporations not only have the same rights as humans, but have superior rights that come without any responsibilities or a bothersome conscience.
New Springfield
Very well put Mr. Shanabarger.
I do have a solution for corporations can't be put in jail. If the corporation or any employee acting on behalf of the corporation are found guilty of committing a crime, then the entire board and all of the executive officers shall serve the time! ie. a 10 year sentence means they all are behind bars for ten years! That might give them the kind of conscience that corporations up to now have been totally lacking!
USA1 I have no problem with Unions being held responsible since they are non profit corporations.
I find their influence in the running of our government abhorrent too.
I would prefer to have all federal elected office campaign publicly funded with no outside interference; If you take money out of the equation we the people will have the opportunity to actually compare the candidates on the issues and on their records.
Unrelated..... I guess the GOP is never going to use the term "flip flop" in attack ads ever again since they are doing nothing but that in order to blockade congress.
Woody--- at the time of the founding of our nation those were extremely liberal ideas! So liberal in fact that you could be executed for stating them.
And just to remind everyone the Constitution says "of the people, by the people, and for the people" not CORPORATIONS!
Since there are several national groups under the umbrella "TEA Party", and innumerable local groups, the "working agenda" depends upon the particular organization.
My interpretation of the "agenda" of this grass-roots movement is:
-Reduce government spending and waste to less catastrophic levels
-Stimulate job creation through tax cuts
-Reverse the trend of transferring wealth and power from the private sector to the public sector
I agree with you, Tom, that there is "nobody in charge", and I hope it stays that way. This is a national grass-roots uprising of concerned Americans throughout the Union, who wish to save the Union. The movement would be diminished if a solitary person's views were the "platform" of this diverse group. The ambitions of the movement, thus far, are direct and simple. Their success depends on keeping it that way.
Ok USA1 and NonSocialist, I guess that makes me a socialist Tea partyer?
I am a socialist (not a communist) and I am against big government and government waste, but I am also against Corporations and Unions having the same right as individual human beings!
Until big corporations can learn to be compassionate toward human beings and plan for the long term instead of focusing on this years numbers "at all costs" I will be staunchly anti capitalist; remember people it is because of that focus on the almighty $$$ that instead of exporting manufactured goods the USA only exports jobs now.
I don't think you're a socialist. Big government is socialism.
The USA doesn't have to export jobs. We have the option of creating an environment that attracts employers. This could include non-punitive tax policies, and regulations that protect the community and workers, but not the unions.
so-cial-ism [soh-shuh-liz-uhm]
–noun 1. a theory or system of social organization that advocates the vesting of the ownership and control of the means of production and distribution, of capital, land, etc., in the community as a whole.
NonSocialist, I am a socialist as opposed to a capitalist. and in the definition you provide it says"ownership is vested in the community as a whole not the governement".
From Wikipedia:
Socialism refers to the various theories of economic organization advocating public or direct worker ownership and administration of the means of production and allocation of resources, and a society characterized by equal access to resources for all individuals with a method of compensation based on the amount of labor expended.
Modern social democrats propose selective nationalization of key national industries in mixed economies, while maintaining private ownership of capital and private business enterprise. Modern social democrats also promote tax-funded welfare programs and regulation of markets.
So socialism does not mean big government (communism is big government, and apparently so was G.W Bush and his boss Dick Cheney).
Socialism does mean that the power resides in the people not the officeholder.
"Say what you will about the tenets of socialism, at least it is an ethos."
You added, "not the government" to the Dictionary.com definition.
Please refer to the Merriam-Webster definition below that includes the words, "owned and controlled by the state." Please see also the second link which contains defintions from multiple other dictionaries (Collins-English, American Heritage) which both specify "government determination" or "owned collectively or by a centralized government."
Wikipedia is an inaccurate source of information as anybody can edit it. The definition you provided does not describe socialism by any other definition.
Smashmouthing the GOP doesn't bother me. The GOP = Socialist Lite, as exemplified by GWBs spending and Medicare Part D enactment.
Trust me...the power does not reside with the people in a socialist state...by definition it doesn't...it resides with the rulers...and history has proven that they abuse those that they rule.
The people are empowered by freedom, but freedom doesn't equal success. Some will fail (Edison before the light bulb), and some will succeed. Winston Churchill said it well,
"The inherent vice of capitalism is the unequal sharing of blessings; the inherent virtue of socialism is the equal sharing of miseries."
1 : any of various economic and political theories advocating collective or governmental ownership and administration of the means of production and distribution of goods
2 a : a system of society or group living in which there is no private property b : a system or condition of society in which the means of production are owned and controlled by the state
3 : a stage of society in Marxist theory transitional between capitalism and communism and distinguished by unequal distribution of goods and pay according to work done
Though I completely disagree with Howard's views and definition of socialism, I give him credit for proclaiming his socialist tendencies. Besides Bernie Sanders, not too many are willing to do so.
There is a tea party "grass roots movement" for a reason. It seems as if the MAJORITY is now unhappy with this admin. So they are making noise and verbalizing their feelings. Good for them. If it wasnt for Obama they wouldnt have organized.
He spends more than GWB did and GWB was a Republican based on what? He talked like a Republican but catered to both sides which clearly doesnt work.
What was a good thing has turned into a Conservative RepubliCAN movement. While I support less government and socialism, I still disagree with them on big business support and abortion.
Tea Party rally Washington dc feb13th, Jim traficant and other concerned constitutionalists to discuss viability of a third party,end the fed bank.catch his podcast WTAM 1100 Radio.
USA1 with the exception of Venezuela the countries you mention are or were under communist regimes (communism = government owns everything including the people).
I remain in America for the same reason you do, this is my home and I was raised to believe that this country was governed by the PEOPLE, not the corporations or a monarchy. Like you I am dissatisfied with the direction the country is going and I want to see it change and am actively working for its change to the better.
Besides that, have you ever researched the requirements to permanently immigrate to another country? Most countries require you to come in with a minimum of US$500,000 cash plus an income of US$50,000 a year derived from outside of that country, unless of course you are coming in to start a new business that will employ hundreds plus of their workers and they require a minimum investment of US$5,000,000.
Now I don't have that kind of cash or income so unless you would be willing to provide it for me leaving the USA is not an option.
That being the case we are not really free to leave the USA unless we are very wealthy.
Socialism is an economic philosophy akin to capitalism; communism "is the power of the dictatorship".
Just wondering but why is everyone so afraid to actually use the word "communism" these days? I see hundreds of references to socialism when what they really mean is communism!
NonSocialist my bad, I did put the quotation mark in the wrong place, it should have read "ownership is vested in the community as a whole" not the governement.
As for the GOP from where I sit they are "Fascist lite" and the Democrats are just "GOP lite".
When you refer to socialist states what you really meant was communist regimes (ie. USSR, Cuba, Vietnam, and the eastern block pre 1982) when I refer to a socialist democracy I am referring to France 1970's-1990's or England from 1960 up to Maggie Thatcher reforms. Now before you get started on bashing those countries I agree they had many problems during those years, but you must remember that they were having to rebuild their entire economies from WWII and pay off huge debts to the US at the same time.
As for the Churchill quote "The inherent vice of capitalism is the unequal sharing of blessings; the inherent virtue of socialism is the equal sharing of miseries."
So by this you mean that what happened to the victims of hurricane Katrina was there own fault and that what little was done by the Bush administration to alleviate their suffering was more than they deserved?
USA1 I strongly support and believe in the Constitution of the United States. I recall no part of the constitution that says that if you are not a capitalist then you must leave the country, or that you cannot be a patriotic American if you are a socialist.
Since you feel that America is headed in a socialist direction maybe you are the one who should consider leaving since Australia is more conservative in many ways than America.
Why should I move when I feel that America can be changed for the better.
I do believe in states rights sepearate from the federal government; for example if Utah wanted to make polygamy legal I would have no problem with that . If California or Texas wanted to succeed from the Union I would have no problem with that as long as it was done legally.
If you recognize states rights why are many conservatives and teapartiers and you, if my memory is correct, for removing a states right to control which insurance companies do business within their borders?
If as you claim Social Security is illegal, do you participate?
And if as you claim federal income tax is illegal, do you pay federal income taxes?
I fully participate in Social Security, and I pay my taxes local, state, and federal; I just don't agree with how they are being used most of the time.

TOGETHER NORTH JERSEY is currently working with successful applicants on various Local Demonstration Projects.
To view additional information and project summaries, please click on this link.
To view a map of all our Local Demonstration Projects in the region, please click here.
What is the LDP Program?
The Local Demonstration Project (LDP) Program is a major component of the Rutgers-Bloustein-led Together North Jersey (TNJ) Plan, a process that is now underway.
The TNJ Plan uses sustainability and transit connectivity as the central framework for integrating plans and investments at all levels of government. The LDP Program provides technical assistance to local partners throughout its Northern New Jersey project area, which includes 13 counties and five major cities. With the help of the LDP program, these local partners will undertake strategic planning activities promoting sustainable and livable, transit-oriented development and, as a result, will advance the broader goals of TNJ.
The LDP Program is administered by NJTRANSIT. The technical assistance will be used for strategic planning studies focused on designated areas or corridors associated with established or anticipated transit services and/or facilities. LDP projects include a variety of local planning activities to make transit corridors and communities more livable
Goals of the LDP Program:
The LDP projects will be results-oriented and will tie together place-based and issue-based strategic planning to improve conditions 'on the ground.' The main goals are:
- Achieve measurable goals that make a difference in helping individual communities position themselves for a more economically sustainable future.
- Increase access to opportunity in a way that balances equity with growth potential.
- Develop models for more collaborative and comprehensive approaches to strategic planning at the local level.
- Inform the ongoing development of TNJ.
- Create 'on the ground' success stories.
- Cultivate a network of local TNJ champions to foster a supportive implementation framework.
What was the LDP selection process?
The projects were selected over two rounds of a competitive Call for Applications that TNJ issued to municipalities, NGO's and regional organizations throughout the region in the fall of 2012. Applications to the LDP program were reviewed by a selection committee known as the Technical Evaluation Committee, appointed by the TNJ Executive Committee. The Technical Evaluation Committee reviewed each application to determine if it was consistent with the LDP program goals and offered recommendations to the Executive Committee regarding application funding. The Executive Committee subsequently reviewed the recommendations and applications and granted the final approvals for technical assistance.
What projects have been selected?
Fifteen projects and three pilot projects were selected during the competitive process. Each of the 13 counties is represented in the selected projects.

Bravo Pads Bikini Shaper
from Croton on Hudson, NY

Sewed the bikini shapers in a girls one piece swimsuit and it worked out fine.

just as described
from 99208, WA

works well in a swim suit
Pointy and small
from Iowa
on 7/17/2014
I returned mine. They appeared to be an unnatural shape. Very pointy and odd looking. A man must of designed these.
much smaller than expected
from atlanta, GA
on 10/15/2012
had purchased something similar but was an enhancer. i was really excited in finding these because i wanted just the pad without the help. i was going to use them to line dresses, sew them in so i didn't need to wear a bra. went to fabric store but they were not triangles and i thought the triangles were the most discreet. these were much smaller than the ones i already own. both are meant to go in swimwear so i'm not sure why these are so small, so then you can see the pad line through the fabric and really unnaturally shaped. i didn't understand the other review about how these were pointy but now i understand. definitely pointy in a weird way. rather them be bigger and be able to trim the fabric as needed. highly disappointed. had bought several, now sending them all back.
Work great
from Asheville, NC
on 5/6/2012
I have a one piece swimsuit that did not have much padding or "umph" to it. I loosely sewed them into the first lining of my swimsuit. Initially, I was concerned that the triangular shape of the pads would show through, esp. after I went swimming (because the swimsuit top is bigger than the pads which are more the size of a bikini top)...but they didn't show through. They worked great.
Pads are not soft and pointy in the middle
from Costa Mesa,CA
on 8/1/2011
Great idea, however, the middle is thicker than the sides so my boobs looked a bit pointy. Also the pads are a bit hard and I was just looking for something soft and flexible.
A Little Bit of Help Well Appreciated
from Orlando
on 6/22/2011
These bikini-top shapers were just what my bathing suit top needed. They added a small amount of flattering fill ---- quite appreciated by someone who's natural fill has diminished over the years! The padding enhances without being noticeable.
Lives up to my expectations.
from Schaumburg, IL
on 4/1/2010
Just keep in mind that its just a SHAPER and not a bust ENHANCER and I am sure you wont be disappointed. It gives a very natural shape and yet does not look obvious. I have found shapers in other stores which are 3-4 times the price of this one....so at under $ 10 it surely is a bargain for the quality and functionality.

Obama: Sadly Playing the Race Card
Allan J. Lichtman - January 15, 2008
I have great respect for Barack Obama as a presidential candidate. Despite widespread agreement with Hillary Clinton on most issues he has proven to be the one candidate capable of inspiring people to think beyond the compass of their daily lives. But now that Obama has played the race card in the Democratic presidential campaign my respect for him has diminished.

Sex, Christian Conservatives, and Private Vice: Whither American Conservatism, Part 3
Allan J. Lichtman - December 13, 2007
Former Arkansas governor Michael Huckabee has leaped to the front of the Republican pack by running explicitly as a "Christian candidate" for president. A major problem for morality-based conservatives, however, is that their personal behavior often contradicts their professed ideology. The double lives of Christian conservatives throw into question credibility of their political movement. It suggests that their real agenda is to control other people's lives rather to uphold standards of moral behavior.

Conservative Big Government: Whither American Conservatism, Part 2
Allan J. Lichtman - November 19, 2007
Conservatism has always been about the purposes of government rather than the size or scope of government. Therefore, it should come as no surprise that George W. Bush has built a form a conservative big government during his presidency. A new leader would be entwined in the dilemma of how to advance the conservative goals of protecting national security and upholding morality and decency in society without a large and meddlesome state that contradicted the Right's defense of personal freedom and small government. The future of the conservative movement may well depend on whether the next Republican presidential nominee can find a way out of these dilemmas.

Well this was unexpected. So earlier this afternoon, I was reading though the 131 blog entries from my Google blog reader (after being out of town for a while) and came across this recipe from That Was Vegan? I immediately bookmarked it. Then I realized I had hungry he-gans to feed and not much to work with. I wasn't planning on going to the store until tomorrow. Anyhow, it was love at first read . . . even though I didn't have all the ingredients for the original recipe, I figured I could make it work with what I had. I even borrowed a can of diced tomatoes from my good friend (and neighbor). (Thanks, Jessie)! You don't have to use lasagna noodles, but if you're like me, chances are, you'll have an opened box of lasagna noodles leftover from a bygone (yet fabulous) lasagna. This is the perfect soup to use those rogue noodles! I added a couple of Field Roast sausages and made some other alterations and it came out fantastic. Try this with some diced zucchini or mushrooms for some variety.
1 C onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 Field Roast sausages, Italian variety
1 Tbs olive oil
2-1/2 tsp dried oregano
3/4 tsp red pepper flakes
1 tsp dried rosemary
28-oz can fire roasted diced tomatoes
9-10 lasagna noodles
7 C water
1 vegetable bouillon cube
1/2 C spaghetti sauce
2 bay leaves
1-1/2 Tbs dried basil
Salt and pepper, to taste
Daiya cheese
In a large soup pot, heat the olive oil, garlic, Field Roast, and onion.
Cook for 5 minutes, or until the onions are tender.
Add the oregano, red pepper flakes, and rosemary; stir to combine. Add the diced tomatoes (juice and all), spaghetti sauce, 6 cups of water (you may want to add more later), the two bay leaves, and the bouillon (I chopped it up first); bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer for 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
Break up the lasagna noodles and add to the pot. Let simmer 10-12 minutes, or until the pasta is cooked (you may need to add more water). Remove the bay leaves and serve with a sprinkle of Daiya cheese. Enjoy!

Democrats this election have done a good job attracting a lot of big on the record public donors, but Republicans appear to have the big advantage when it comes to big secret donors. $794 Million for the GOP vs. $463 Million for the Dems. That's a $331 Million advantage for the GOP.

SCOTUS' Hobby Lobby decision hurt but there is a far more dangerous threat working its way through the courts that could kill most subsidies.
If one engages with a theocrat and takes the time to debunk enough of their claims, eventually, they will get into ambiguous territory like what was the "Real" intent of the founders.
Speaking of Christian values, whatever happened to bearing false witness? Hobby Lobby set up shop in a state where they'd have to pay for employee healthcare including emergency contraception.
This is as close to a declaration of a Zombie Apocalypse we have gotten from this Supreme Court to date. It is The Night of the Living Religious Corporation…they're alive!

The marriage of the white power structure in the South with greed-obsessed businesspeople has borne such "children". In both cases, there is the mentality of the elitist, those who believe not only that they are superior because they are white and male but that this also entitles them to all that they want for themselves, especially when it comes to money and power.

Dozens of tornadoes and intense thunderstorms ravaged the Midwest Sunday, leaving six people dead and virtually decimating the town of Washington, Ill. Now, members of American Legion Post 471 are asking the public to contribute supplies to be taken to Washington, Ill.
"Tyler Hodge, who is one of our trustees, was in Moore, Okla. this past year, and he helped coordinate some of that out there," Mike Bell, First Vice Commander of Post 471, said. "So, as soon as these tornadoes hit, he said, 'Mike, we're going to do something.'"
Bell said the first assistance the Post received came from Glockners Auto.
"They (veterans) have contacted Glockners and they have donated a 15-foot box truck," Bell said. "I got with Daymar College to utilize the facility at the parking area to load it."
The truck was to be on the Daymar parking lot today at 9 a.m. for people to bring relief supplies. Bell said the post will be collecting from 9 a.m. until 5 p.m. each day, and until noon on Friday when they are expected to leave for Illinois and deliver the supplies.
"We're asking the public to bring things such as blankets, first aid kits, shovels, non-perishable food and water," Bell said. "They were talking about the possibility of some Teddy Bears for the kids, some dog food, gloves, dust masks, mops, brooms, different things like that."
Bell said members of Post 471 have been calling and going to area businesses to ask for donations. Bell is asking any area resident who is out shopping over the next few days to pick up supplies and bring them to Daymar. He said anyone wishing to donate money to buy fuel for the truck would also be appreciated.
Daymar College is located at 3879 Rhodes Avenue in New Boston.

Customer Raves & Reviews
BEAUTIFUL Save the Date Magnet!
Words cannot express how pleased I am with our Save the Date magnets! Magnetstreet was the only website that offered the magnets in 5x7 and after spending all that time taking the pictures for the Save the Dates, we wanted the pictures to actually be visible on the magnets! They worked with me to make the design perfect, offered a great online special, and delivered the magnets quicker than promised! I am so pleased with their work and recommend this website to everyone!
Beautiful magnets
Our custom save the date magnets are amazing! The picture & wording are perfect! Customer service rep was most helpful and answered each every question no matter how many there where. Thanks for the customization with the special magnet holders! The wording on the holders make the whole thing special!
Beautiful wedding favor
I found magnetstreet upon recommendation from a friend. I was looking to make magnets for an upcoming post wedding celebration. The image used was from my daughter and new son- in-law's wedding the month prior. Though I've gotten magnets as favors in the past I had no idea where to start or what company to choose from online. Magnet street is user friendly and every question I asked online was answered efficiently by the following day. I was most concerned about previewing the finished product before placing my order and I was reassured I would have a preview. I also was pleasantly surprised to be informed that the pixel size of my image might be a problem in regards to sharpness. I proceeded with my order quantity 200 and was pleased with the results. The only thing unclear to me was where the wording would be placed on the magnet. thinking it would be on the actual photo of the couple, it was printed on a white border placed below the image at the bottom of the magnet. I wound use magnetstreet again.
Unique Products
All the products we purchased from Magnet Street for our daughter's military wedding - invitations, RSVP, Accommodations, and the personalized wedding favor tags - were all excellent and received in a very timely manner. I found no other invitation site that carried an invitation specific to the Air Force, which is exactly what we wanted. The designers were able to accommodate my color and style choices, which resulted in a unique product for the wedding. Couldn't be happier! Carol F.
Save the Date Magnets
The magnets were great quality and customer service was exceptional! I had an error on the first set and only had to pay $10 to get them reprinted. The only thing I did not like was the second set that was emailed to me (the picture) on the face of the magnet had a darker hue than the original.

Coordinated Timetable Project
Timetable Review 2013-14
A timetabling review was conducted during 2013 and 2014 by consultants Madison Cross. By engaging with Facilities Services Division and the Faculties as well as other key stakeholders, the review identified key benefits to be gained by improving the academic timetable, including:
- Improved Student and Staff experiences by applying consistent timetabling processes across the University
- Integrated software systems and key information flows associated with timetable production
- Strengthened Faculty / School-based relationships
The Coordinated Timetable Project
The Coordinated Timetable Project is the program of updates to implement an improved timetable scheduling service across Deakin. This project will improve:
- System use and integration
- Policy and procedure including updates
- Expanded software use and training
This project sees a strong partnership between Facilities and the Faculties as a vital component in improving the timetabling service. This project will provide the University with:
- Improved timetable flexibility, enabling swift responses to change and opportunities
- Better usage of University facilities, enabling increased load within existing facilities and improved access to key facilities
- Better capture of Staff and Unit requirements leading to more appropriate scheduling outcomes
A summary of the Project scope and benefits is available as part of the Business Case which is available on the Deakin Staff Wiki.
How is it being delivered?
This 18 month project will commence in October 2014, aiming to deliver the updated timetable service ready for development of the 2016 academic timetable.There are a number of key phases:
- Process Development Workshops including Policy and Procedure Review
- Integration of Systems
- Staff Training
- Pilot Testing and Review
- Production Rollout
The project team will publish regular project updates. To check progress including key risks and current issues see the latest report on the Deakin Staff Wiki.
How will it impact me?
Some staff will be asked to participate in the Process Development Workshops which started in October. These workshops, based on all of the information needed to support timetabling, seek to determine where and how information is developed and identify the most effective ways for this information to be provided to the timetable.
Other staff will be engaged in the pilot phase during which they will participate in the development of a trial timetable using the new approach.
On implementation, academic staff will notice new tools and processes for providing the timetable information for 2016. Training and information will be provided to assist staff in the use of the new approach and the project team will maintain regular updates throughout the project.
Students will also be engaged throughout the process to ensure their needs and requirements are built into the system. Although there is no system change proposed for students the outcome of the project should lead to an improved schedule from a student perspective.
How do I stay informed?

Park Factor
RUTH: They don't call it the House That Ruth Built for nothing. Never seen a home/road breakdown of Ruth's 1927 season, but there's no denying that ol' Two Head took good advantage of that short right field porch. **
MARIS: Again, no stats, but here's another lefty dead pull hitter in a park with those same inviting right field bleachers. *1/2
MCGWIRE:Yes, he hits home runs like crazy at Busch Stadium, but he hit them like crazy in Oakland, too. When your average homer lands 425 feet away, it doesn't matter much where the fences are. Don't tell Kent Mercker, but Busch is actually a pitcher's park, and about 5 percent below average for righty power hitters. No asterisks
SOSA: Hoist a cold Old Style in memory of Harry Caray when you say it, but Sammy couldn'ta done it anyplace but Wrigley. Aside from Coors Field, The Friendly Confines is the best home run park in baseball for a righty, 34 percent better than the NL average. **
Level of Competition
RUTH: When men were men and baseball was segregated. Forget that he played in the golden age between the spitter and the splitter, the biggest knock against Ruth is that because of the color line, he didn't play against all the best players of his day. Given an even playing field, we think that Mr. McGwire might still be chasing Josh Gibson, who led the Negro Leagues in 1936 with 84 homers. **1/2
MARIS:It's no coincidence that Maris--and Mickey Mantle, too--took after the Babe immediately after the first expansion in half a century, although bandbox parks like Wrigley probably helped as much as the journeyman pitchers. *1/2
MCGWIRE: Again, this is an expansion year, which means that McGwire and Sosa got to hit against about 10 pitchers who would've been in Triple A a decade ago. Then again, they also had to hit against at least 10 pitchers who would've been in Japan, Cuba, or Korea a decade ago. *
SOSA: See McGwire above. *
Protection Racket
RUTH: You hit 60 home runs. And don't win the MVP award, because the guy hitting behind you hit .373, with 175 RBIs. This protection not even the Corleone family could provide. ***
MARIS: You hit 61 home runs. And don't draw one single intentional walk. Mickey Mantle may not be Lou Gehrig, but he did everything except have a disease named after him. ***
MCGWIRE: How would you like to spend the rest of your life as a trivia question? Brian Jordan's a decent major league hitter, but it's not only McGwire's batting eye that puts him within shouting distance of an even older single season record: Babe Ruth's 170 walks. No asterisks
SOSA: Mark Grace is a career .310 hitter, but coming into the season, he had hit 104 homers in 10 major league seasons. Lou Gehrig he ain't. McGwire and Sosa provide more fuel to Bill James's argument that it doesn't really matter who's hitting behind whom. *
The Untouchable Factor
RUTH: For all Ruth's aura, let's not forget that his record almost fell while it was still fresh. In 1932, Jimmie Foxx fell off a ladder, derailing his record run, and six years later Hank Greenberg walked 119 times in the course of racking up 58 dingers. **
MARIS: Well, his record stood for 37 years, three years longer than Ruth's. And until last year, nobody came within nine. Remember the George Foster vs. Roger Maris home run countdown? Neither do we. **
MCGWIRE: Just because it looked easy once, don't think it'll be easy again. Shortly after each of the last two home run records, baseball moved to rebalance the scales between pitching and hitting. So expect Air Bud to raise the mound (1932) or reconfigure the strike zone (1962) to keep Big Mac in the books for a while. * (provisional)
SOSA: On the other hand, baseball has seen the vast marketing buzz of a feel-good home run chase. Sowhile the all-time mark may inch out of reach, don't expect the scales to swing so far that number two all-time is unassailable. ** (provisional)
Beyond the Clout
RUTH: The .772 slugging percentage, the .469 on-base percentage, the .356 average. It may not have been Ruth's best season--we're partial to 1923, .764, .545, .393--but it's one of the best in baseball history. No asterisks
MARIS: He hit lots of home runs, there's no denying that, but despite the well-meaning revisionism, Maris really didn't do much else. His .269 average, .348 on-base percentage, .620 slugging numbers lie squarely in Jose Canseco territory. **
MCGWIRE: Call it sacrilege, but his 1998 is better than Ruth's 1927. He's put up a .471 on-base percentage, and a .743 slugging percentage, and he's got a shot at the all-time walks mark. No asterisks
SOSA: In any other year--like 1961--these are MVP numbers: .310 average, .378 on-base percentage, .645 slugging. But unless he catches McGwire, expect him to be the strongest second place finisher behind a unanimous MVP. **
