Grass Bus Gene Pool
Grass Bus is the work of artist/
inventor Gene Pool, whose previous creations include the Living Grass Suit and several Grass Cars. The bus -- designed to promote "user-friendliness" and hence ridership on the St. Louis, Missouri "Redbird Express" -- is Pool's tenth and largest grass-related project. Its living cover was created to remind viewers of the new grass field of the Cardinals baseball team. Car artist Lucy Harvey watered the bus and grass clothing daily.

Volkswagen Jetta review
The Golf-based Volkswagen Jetta saloon is practical and economical, but it's getting on a bit now
The Volkswagen Jetta name badge has been around for nearly as long as the Golf's, albeit with a brief change in the UK to Vento, then Bora, part way through its life. While early versions of the Jetta were just a Golf with a boot, the current sixth-generation is marketed as a standalone model.
Much of the running gear is still shared with the hatch, although it's carried over from the previous model; the latest Jetta doesn't benefit from the advanced MQB technology of the Mk7 Golf.
With global sales just shy of a million cars in 2013, the Volkswagen Jetta is big business. However, it's not such hot property in the UK, where we only bought around 2,000 examples during the same period. So does this sensible saloon deserve to be the forgotten car of VW's UK line-up, or are we missing out on a hidden gem?
The Volkswagen Jetta is best described as a saloon version of the Golf. Under the bonnet you'll find VW's established line up of TDI and TSI engines feature, while at the rear, the 510-litre boot is huge. Opt for the 1.6-litre TDI BlueMotion Technology and you'll get low emissions and a small thirst for fuel.
Our choice: Jetta 2.0-litre TDI 110 (PS) SE
Engines, performance and drive
The Jetta doesn't sit on the MQB platform that underpins cars like the current Golf, Audi A3 and our 2013 Car of the Year, the SEAT Leon; it's based instead on previous-generation Golf foundations. And although European Jettas get multi-link rear suspension and electric power-steering – US models made do with a simple torsion beam and hydraulic assistance until very recently – it feels outclassed.
Compared to newer VW Group products and the sharp-handling rival Mazda 3, the Jetta feels a bit wooden. It handles safely without any nasty vices, but the steering does feel slow and a fraction heavy at low speed, while the front tyres surrender grip sooner than the Mazda 3's. The Sport model's 15mm lower suspension gives the ride a slightly firm edge and even in this set-up the Jetta never feels as agile, responsive or grippy as the Mazda.
The 123bhp and 147bhp versions of the 1.4-litre TSI petrol offer decent performance, while diesel fans can choose between 108bhp 2.0-litre TDI and punchy 147bhp 2.0-litre TDI units. The well established 2.0-litre TDI engine is punchy and ensures there's enough performance on offer.
MPG, CO2 and running costs
The most efficient Jetta in the line-up is the 2.0-litre TDI with 108bhp. Stop-start features as standard and this engine returns a claimed combined 70.6mpg. CO2 figures are low at 105g/km. Even the more powerful 2.0-litre TDI is claimed to return 67.3mpg on the combined cycle.
Our experts predict the Jetta will retain 40.1 per cent of its value, meaning you'll wave goodbye to £14,160 over three years. At least the company's fixed-price servicing scheme looks better value for money, at just £299 for three years.
Interior, design and technology
It's difficult for the Volkswagen Jetta to be branded anything other than 'a Golf with a boot', since it shares so many styling cues with its hatchback cousin. However, it's only under the skin where the sixth-generation Jetta has anything in common with the
Golf, because none of its body panels is interchangeable with the hatch.
Still, the straight lines and upright shape of the Jetta are uninspiring, especially when you park it next to rivals like the rakish Kia Optima. The new tail-lights at the rear are the most obvious change.
Climb inside, and the similarities between the Jetta and Golf are more apparent. However, it's not the current Mk7 Golf that the Jetta resembles, but the previous model. VW has kept interior revisions to a minimum, with new instruments, steering wheel and different fabric trim, but the black plastic, dark upholstery and white-on-black instruments all look a bit plain when compared to the Kia.
Practicality, comfort and boot space
The Jetta's trademark long rear overhang makes space for a vast boot that offers a maximum capacity of 510 litres, which is 130-litres up on the Golf hatch. Even better is the fact that it unlocks and swings open automatically with the press of a button on the key fob.
The back seats have a 60:40 fold, while there's a through-load facility behind the centre armrest, although the plastic cover doesn't clip in place and falls out pretty easily.
Back seat space is reasonable, and there are rear air vents, while the large back windows make up for the dark interior trim and give a greater sense of space than is actually on offer.
Up front, there's plenty of wheel and seat adjustment for the driver to get comfortable. The deep door bins and twin cup-holders behind the gearlever are handy, although the rear one can become blocked by the sliding armrest on top of the central storage bin.
Reliability and Safety
Volkswagen ranked 19th out of 33 manufacturers in our Driver Power 2014 survey, with a surprising 26th finish for reliability, which contrasts sharply with its reputation for durability. However, the Jetta uses proven engines and components, plus it's produced in vast numbers. Stick to the maintenance schedule, though, and the Jetta should run on without a hitch.
Standard safety equipment includes curtain airbags, but rear side airbags are a £275 option. You have to pay £465 to add parking sensors, and the Jetta seems a little under equipped.
It was tested by Euro NCAP in 2011, where it earned a five-star rating and a 94 per cent score for occupant protection. The updated car sees extra safety kit added to the options list, such as blind-spot monitoring with rear-traffic alert.

I just finished my second of three years in my MFA in Creative Writing program at the University of Central Florida. It's hard to believe so much time has passed, and with just one year to go, my priorities will definitely shift based on the requirement to draft and defend a creative thesis. While it's easy to fool myself into thinking I have a lot of free time for the next few months before my online Spanish course begins at the end of June., the reality is that is just not the case.
With a requirement of approximately 160 pages, and with about 80 pages of draft content already worked up, I need to focus my efforts on outlining the flow of the actual thesis, and then determine how those different pieces will fall in that outline. I have more drafting to do, and would like to have a good working rough draft when the fall semester begins so when I start my thesis hours, I can really focus on revisions.
I also feel like the awareness I gained about my writing in Graduate Workshop this past semester, has been some of the greatest I have received during the course of my program. In both pieces I wrote this past semester – one about my senior prom, the other about my senior trip to Hawaii – I received some pretty consistent feedback from my fellow students:
- I do well at developing scenes, using sensory details, and immersing readers in time and place. (Favorable)
- My prose is crisp and clean, with a fairly direct tone. (Still, favorable)
- There isn't enough of me, of my interior thoughts and authentic, unhinged reflection on what is happening in the scenes from my past about which I write. (Now, we're getting somewhere!)
There isn't enough of me in the work. That was a very powerful realization to have, and I am so grateful to my fellow students and our professor for providing that insight. It is critical in a memoir to have some gauge about how the narrator is feeling in a particular circumstance. What I saw happen was the readers were having a stronger, more visceral reaction than the narrator (me), so things felt out of balance.
As I worked on revising two creative pieces for my final portfolio in Workshop, I really focused heavily on adding more of me into the work (something the reader undoubtedly expects in a mem. What I also realize is that this may be a multi-step process. In future work, I should draft as I typically do, in which I will, most likely, focus on description, dialogue, setting, and outlining the crux of the narrative thread. Then, upon second review, focus on including more personality, emotion, and reflection into the work. If I'm too focused on including recognition of that, then it could distract from actually composing the narrative.
The good news is that, as I re-read critical scenes in both personal essays from the semester, after I had revised them, I felt like I really knew where to focus my actions, to what should attention be paid. This focus is something that will give me another element to add to my list of considerations during revision – just as I check for the other things that either get on my nerves when someone else does them, or specific things I want to be sure to include, this idea of including interiority and reflection at critical moments in the narrative will be something that I will not only pay attention, but also know how to identify when it is missing and what a difference it makes when it is included.
So these next few months, while deceptively "free" of academic responsibilities such as classes (until late June), I will focus more diligently than I ever have on drafting my creative thesis – combing through what I have thus far, identifying an organizing principle or framework for the book, and then really getting a good body of work to revise. This is the Summer of The Thesis – and after just a day or two of rest, I will be ready to take on that next exciting literary challenge.

New York Life Foundation Grants $1 Million to Boys & Girls Clubs of America
Multi-Year Grant Supports a National Grief and Bereavement Initiative
NEW YORK, N.Y., March 10, 2011 — The New York Life Foundation today announced a four-year, $1 million grant to Boys & Girls Clubs of America (BGCA) to support a national pilot program, Be There: A National Grief and Bereavement Initiative. The initiative will build awareness and knowledge of childhood bereavement and increase the resources and tools for Boys & Girls Club youth development professionals to help them appropriately assist grieving youth and their families.
"New York Life Foundation's investment in this initiative will allow us to incorporate bereavement training into Boys & Girls Clubs of America's training and professional development system," said Roxanne Spillett, president and CEO, BGCA. "We want to help raise awareness of the prevalence and impact of childhood bereavement and give our Club staff the tools they need to help young people and their families deal with the loss of a loved one."
"The New York Life Foundation is pleased to support Boys & Girls Clubs because they are uniquely positioned to make an enormous impact in the lives of youth in communities across the country," said Chris Park, president, New York Life Foundation. "While caring adults can make all the difference in helping grieving children to have a healthy response to loss, adults who work with the children in the Clubs often have no formal training regarding how kids grieve and what can and should be done to help them through their grief. The Be There initiative is designed to change that."
This year, BGCA will create a best practices guide to serve as a model for pilot testing. Ten Clubs will pilot the Be There initiative in year two (2012), with an additional 10 Clubs selected for pilot testing in year three. In the final year, five more sites will implement the model. Throughout these four years, BGCA will provide workshop, conference and on-line trainings, a Web community, technical assistance and dissemination of grief resources to all Clubs as they build a culture of caring for grieving young people.
About The New York Life Foundation
Inspired by New York Life's tradition of service and humanity, the New York Life Foundation has, since its founding in 1979, provided more than $140 million in charitable contributions to national and local nonprofit organizations. Through its focus on "Nurturing the Children," the Foundation supports programs that benefit young people, particularly in the areas of safe places to learn and grow, educational enhancement opportunities and childhood bereavement. The Foundation also encourages and facilitates the community involvement of employees, agents, and retirees of New York Life through its Volunteers for Life program.

About Stonebolt
In the late '60s, guitarist Roy Roper and drummer Brian Lousley formed the band Perth Amboy with bassist Danny Atchison. After changing their name to Stonebolt, the trio recruited keyboard player Jon Webster and vocalist David Wills. Stonebolt played around their home of Vancouver for almost ten years before Parachute Records signed them in 1977. The group's self-titled debut album was released the following year; when Parachute folded, RCA signed them and issued Keep It Alive in 1980. ~ John Bush, Rovi

In a chat with ET Now, Prakash Diwan, Chief Portfolio Strategist, Prakash Diwan's Wealth Circle, shares his views on auto sector.
ET Now: What do you make of yesterday's rally in some of the auto stocks?
Prakash Diwan: It is a bit too early to come to that conclusion that monsoon is a disappointment and hence the corollary that auto stocks would find it difficult. If you look at what has happened is the possibility of petrol prices not having moved further in the last month or so. And some sort of feeling of respite that prevails, all that pent up buying that was postponed or put aside has come in and would continue to come. I doubt, if auto stocks would really see any kind of a significant slowdown. We would probably see some market share shifts because we have very quietly seen Honda move up to the ladder in terms of its market share at the cost of possibly Hero MotoCorp and TVS but. Otherwise if you see auto sales especially two wheelers, there is not really much slowing down and there are different segments that people are catering to in the four-wheeler pack. The slow down in demand is offset by some sort of a bump up in sales. So I would not be very disappointed with auto stocks and would not have such a negative view as yet.

MIAMI -- The Giants have considered cutting the September workload for several pitchers, but manager Bruce Bochy said this week that Matt Cain would not be included if he continues to look strong on the mound.
After Saturday's outing, it's hard to imagine Cain getting a breather, even with the Giants sitting far out of the race.
Cain dominated through seven innings of a 6-4 win over the Miami Marlins, giving up just two runs and striking out five. After posting a 5.06 ERA in the first half, Cain has a 2.41 mark in six starts since the All-Star break. He has pitched at least seven innings in each of his last five starts.
Cain has pitched 200 innings in six consecutive seasons and is back on track to reach that mark again. A year after throwing 2491/3 total innings in the regular season and postseason in 2012, Cain said he has never considered accepting extra rest in the season's final weeks. He intends to finish strong.
"That's my plan, and I never thought anything different," Cain said. "I want to finish the year out on a good note."
Bochy said he would watch Cain's delivery and velocity to see if he shows any signs of struggle, as he did often in the first half. So far, Cain has cruised through the second half.
"As long as he's throwing the ball the way he is right now," Bochy said, "we're going to let him go."
Cain went deep Saturday after getting plenty of early support.
A night after scoring 14 runs, the Giants put together a four-run rally in the fourth. With two outs and two runners in scoring position, Pablo Sandoval hit a slow roller to the right side and beat Logan Morrison to first base with a headfirst dive. Both players, along with Marlins starter Henderson Alvarez, hit the bag at virtually the same time, and Sandoval stayed down for a couple of minutes. He said Morrison's spikes clipped him on the arm and face.
Sandoval's burst seemed to catch the Marlins by surprise, but it's been six weeks in the making. The third baseman's older brother, Luis, recently graduated from culinary school and has joined Pablo on the road. With healthy, home-cooked meals, Sandoval said he has dropped 22 pounds.
"I feel good," he said. "It's important to me to come in next year in the same shape I was in in 2011. It's important for me and my teammates."
Sandoval's hustle kept the rally going, and the Giants added a second run on a balk and then two more on Gregor Blanco's triple.
Giancarlo Stanton, one of the game's best power hitters, cut the lead in half with one swing in the sixth. His two-run homer landed in a bar far beyond the left field fence and came one pitch after Cain thought the umpires missed a checked swing call.
An irritated Cain bounced right back, striking out the next three Marlins.
"I was definitely heated," he said. "I can't do that the whole game, it's not possible. But you can use that kind of emotion for an inning."
The Giants tacked on two insurance runs in the eighth on four walks and an infield single. That would prove necessary as the Marlins struck back for two in the bottom of the inning. But Sergio Romo closed the door in the ninth, picking up his 30th save.
"He's handled everything so well," Bochy said of Romo. "He's held up great. Here we are in August, and he's still getting it done. He does very well in that closer role. Going into the season, I thought I'd have to keep a close eye on him, but he's held up very well."
"I want to be here," he said, smiling and pointing at his former Giants teammates. "I had too much fun here. I've got two more years left."
Mota said he plans to play winter ball in the Dominican Republic this offseason. He had a 4.18 ERA in three seasons with the Giants but was suspended for 100 games last season after testing positive for a banned substance, which Mota said was in children's cough medicine that he ingested without reading the label.
"You know, he's older," Bochy said, smiling. "He needs his days. You have to be honest with that."

State Capitol Police Chief Glen Allen said that 23-year-old Joshua Matt Pace of Raleigh surrendered to officers Sunday night. Allen says Pace turned himself in after pictures from surveillance cameras were broadcast.
Pace is charged with breaking and entering and damage to property. It was not clear if he has a lawyer.
Allen says no other suspects are being sought.
The new wing at the museum was closed Sunday while police investigated the break-in. Officials said nothing was stolen but the area suffered minor water damage from a sprinkler system.
The new wing was scheduled to open Monday.

America's Top College Hotels
The Reynolds Mansion B&B, University of North Carolina, Asheville, NC
Fronted by wide porches, this 1847 Colonial Revival brick house enjoys long views of the Blue Ridge Mountains, as well as a long and honorable lineage. Innkeeper Michael Griffith, related by marriage to the original owners, first visited as a guest in 2009; in three months' time, he and his partner had purchased the property and begun to restore its architectural glory. The B&B welcomes pets—as do its resident English bulldogs, Rhett and Scarlett—but, alas, not children under 14. (Take any of college-application age three miles over to check out UNC's campus.) Daily breakfast and afternoon tea are served on the porch when the weather's warm, but you can always take your coffee out to sit, rock, and watch the mountains. thereynoldsmansion.com

Big Boss 5: Pooja Mishra calls Sunny Leone a 'fake sati savitri'
After being thrown out of the show for her violent behaviour, Pooja made a re-entry into the house along with former Australian cricketer Andrew Symonds and by then the lady had learnt that Sunny Leone was an adult film actress.
Following her entry to the house, she suggested Sunny to reveal her porn star status so that people could respect her more for her courage and guts. Following her suggestions, Sunny revealed her profession in public to the co-inmates of the house.
But a bitchy Mishra backstabbed Sunny. Zee News reports Pooja saying, "The lesser said the better. She"s a fake sati savitri. Moreover, I don"t think India is really ready to accommodate an adult actress on a show viewed by families worldwide."

--RF Avisail Garcia is going to be used this month by the Tigers, but not overused. "He's a very talented guy, obviously," manager Jim Leyland said of his rookie outfielder, just up from Class AA on Sept. 1. "To me, he's still in the category of 'talented prospect.'" Garcia is 4-for-8 in five games, starting against left-handed pitching and playing as a late-inning defensive replacement. Leyland tries to downplay Garcia but can't help gushing at the same time. "I love him," the manager said. "He shows you absolutely no fear."
--RHP Max Scherzer, Detroit's hottest pitcher of late, will open the Tigers' series against the Angels on Friday night. Scherzer is 9-1 in his last 12 starts going back to the end of June, but over his last five starts, he's 5-0 with a 1.03 ERA and 44 strikeouts in 55 innings. "He's been able to learn from the times when he was struggling a little bit and wasn't able to make those adjustments during the game," C Alex Avila said. "If he gets himself in trouble, he either limits the damage or gets out of it. He's got the stuff for an ace. Now he's got the pitchability for it, too." Scherzer has been going back and forth with RHP Justin Verlander for the major league strikeout lead. He'll take 204 into his start against the Angels.
--LF Andy Dirks might be about to break out on another hot streak. Dirks broke an 0-for-14 slide Wednesday night with an RBI triple into the gap in right-center, and he scored on a sacrifice fly to right by 3B Miguel Cabrera. Dirks had been 18-for-54 (.333) before the hitless stretch.
--3B Miguel Cabrera has a shot at becoming the first Triple Crown winner since Boston's Carl Yastrzemski in 1967. Cabrera is tied for the AL lead in batting average and RBI, and he's fourth in home runs after hitting two in his past two games. "I've always said Miguel is the best hitter I've ever seen," C Alex Avila said. "I think that if he didn't have to hit home runs and drive in runs as much as he has to for our team, he could probably hit .400."
--CF Austin Jackson got a key one-out walk in the eighth inning Wednesday night that demonstrated his value to the Tigers. Jackson scored on a triple by LF Andy Dirks to trigger a five-run inning that gave Detroit a 7-1 victory over Cleveland. "The walk to Jackson made it," manager Jim Leyland said. "That's like getting a base hit." Jackson also made a terrific catch to keep the Indians from getting their leadoff man on in the third.
2 -- Categories in which 3B Miguel Cabrera shares the lead in his longshot bid to become the first Triple Crown winner since 1967. He is tied for the batting lead at .330 with the Angels' Mike Trout, and Cabrera and Texas' Josh Hamilton each have 116 RBI. Cabrera stands fourth in home runs with 35.
"There might be somebody who saw somebody else with as much opposite-field power as him, but I wouldn't believe anybody in the history of the game ever has. Not that I've seen." -- Manager Jim Leyland, on 3B Miguel Cabrera, who hit a first-inning home run to right field Wednesday.

Vodka's neutral flavor makes it ideal for mixed drinks - and it is the most popular and most often used alcohol in almost any bartender's arsenal. Because of Vodka's inert flavor, vodkas and vodka drinks inherit the character of what they are mixed with and are extremely varied in character and flavor.
Because of it's chameleonic nature, Vodka comes in an amazing variety of flavors, and having the flavors imparted to the alcohol itself may make for a more complex and enjoyable drink. It is common to use these flavored vodkas to complement the mixers that are used, but it is often quite pleasant to mix a flavored vodka with plain soda water and a simple sweetener.
Although there is no scientific basis for this observation, it has been widely observed that Vodka seems less likely to impart a hangover.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - With as much as $1.5 trillion in federal funds hanging in the balance, the mammoth healthcare and defense industries are scrambling to lobby a special congressional committee tasked with slashing the deficit -- but in markedly different ways.
The 12-member bipartisan joint "super committee" is expected to focus heavily on both pricey government health insurance programs such as Medicare and Medicaid, and the Pentagon budget, which accounts for about half of non-mandated federal spending.
But the similarities end there.
The Pentagon is warning of Doomsday if the committee fails to act through a combination of...

Sen. Wyden's Five Priorities for Boosting the Middle Class
The new chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, Sen. Ron Wyden (D., Ore.), outlined five priorities for helping to boost the middle class at a hearing on Thursday. They include:
- Finding "fresh" policies to improve education and learning, including helping students obtain data they could use to compare schools, as well as refining the "rigid structure" of current federal aid programs;
- Encouraging Americans to save more, for example through creation of children's savings accounts that could help young people get ahead;
- Doing more to protect retirement savings, for example when chronic illnesses strike;
- Using a tax-code overhaul to make the system more friendly to the middle class, for example by narrowing the gap between tax rates on wages and tax rates on investment income, which are often lower. Mr. Wyden also said he would work to improve the child and dependent care tax credit, which sometimes doesn't provide meaningful benefits to households that need it the most.
- Improving the government safety net by boosting the minimum wage, extending unemployment insurance and updating training programs.
Mr. Wyden promised a bipartisan drive by the committee "to develop policies that get more Americans inside the middle-class winners' circle."
His Republican counterpart, Sen. Orrin Hatch (R., Utah) sounded a skeptical note, suggesting some recent fretting about the middle class has been politically motivated. He said claims of middle-class income stagnation are based on inaccurate measurements that exclude government tax and transfer policies, and also use a single measure for household size. Using what he calls a more accurate measure that considers the impact of tax and government transfer policies and adjusts for household size, Mr. Hatch said median income has grown by close to 40% from 1979 to 2007, "which is decidedly less stagnant," he added.
Mr. Hatch also criticized the impact of several Obama administration priorities, including the 2010 health-care overhaul and tax increases.

I keep seeing post about wanting to ban all guns. Can someone who believes that please tell me why you think that will work with our borders. We can't control illegal immigration. Nor can we control the flow of illegal drugs. What makes you think we could stop the flow of gun? (ANd I'm ignoring accounting for all the guns already in the country).
Why do you think the war on guns will work better the than the war on drugs
And as for the other pp that mentioned education on handguns, when you mention banning all semi auto rifles but sayings handguns are okay, that is the same as saying you are banning all samurai swords, but Katanas are fine. They are the same thing. They just look
My point is they need to put restrictions on the weapons in regards to how much ammo one can hold in a clip per say. If the assailant has a weapon that has a clip with 6-9 rounds and has to stop and re load a new clip after every 9 shots thats a hell of a lot more time an perhapds easier to take down the guy then just holding a trigger down and firing 50+ rounds.

He wasn't holding the trigger down and firing 50 rounds, its a semi auto rifle....he had "several" high capacity clips...meaning probably 17-20? He still had to eject and reload. having a clip that only holds 6 (which is fairly standard) only means he had to reload multiple times, it only takes seconds.
The assumption is that he had a fully automatic machine gun. He didn't. He didn't have a 100 round magazine on the rifle.
I don't disagree that having a clip with 13+ bullets is probably excessive, only that in this instance, even if it held 6, and he had 6 clips, he would have done as much damage, and only added 10-15 seconds on to his shooting time.
further, even without the rifle - with the handguns that he had, the end result would have been the same. Same rate of speed for shooting.
Yes, people are picturing machine guns.

I admit I do not know alot about guns. I hunt with DH and thats about the extent of my gun knowledge. At any rate, plenty of people I know big game hunt (bears mostly) and yet none of them own semi-automatic weapons. My co worker was explaining to me how her fathers semi automatic hunting rifle works but she said he still has to pull back before each shot and his clip only holds 5 rounds.
ETA: I am trying to picture any reason this teacher needed a semi automatic assault rifle in the first place. Was she a hunter? Or just someone who liked guns? People like that creep me out. I mean I get having one for hunting if its absolutely neccesary though I know of no one that needs one who hunt bear. But just to have an assualt rifie for "target practice" seems a little off their rocker to me. JMO
Erin-Mama to Hadleigh (5), Kenna (10) and Cambree 6/13/2012
What she is describing sounds like a bolt action. It holds 5 rounds but you chamber each one manually. That isn't really semi-auto. Many shotguns work that way.
She sounds like a nutter, planning for the apocalypse.
Its not the action that is important in Bear hunting but rather the caliber of the bullet.....
Why would anyone need to read or write anti government literature? We should ban them, not a ban on all literature, just the dangerous ones. S anyone that wants to read them must be whackjobs anyways.

A senior politician sparked the current debate on capitalism in Germany by comparing foreign investors to a plague of locusts. But some say the use of such populist rhetoric masks a deep-seated aversion to capitalism.
The insect metaphor is finding plenty of resonance in German media
The hum started in April, when SPD party secretary Franz Müntefering unleashed a stream of rhetoric likening foreign investors to a swarm of insects.
"Some financial investors spare no thought for the people whose jobs they destroy," he told the mass-circulation tabloid Bild. "They remain anonymous, have no face, fall like a plague of locusts over our companies, devour everything, then fly on to the next one."
Foreign investors have been likened to a swarm of locusts
Müntefering's "locusts" have got staying power.
Michael Wolffsohn, an expert on German-Jewish history at the German Armed Forces University in Munich balked at the metaphor and accused Müntefering of drawing on anti-Semitic propaganda used by the Nazis.
"Sixty years on, human beings are again compared with animals -- a 'plague' that must be destroyed," Wolffsohn wrote in an article published in the Rheinische Post.
SPD officials vehemently denied Wolffsohn's accusations, though Müntefering himself has kept mum. Still, many analysts agree that the locust remark has reduced the debate on capitalism in Germany to a crude level.
"Problematic tradition"
"I would not go as far as Wolffsohn to say that (Müntefering) deliberately used anti-Semitic language, but I would say that there is a problematic tradition in such terms that he should have been aware of," said historian Paul Nolte of the International University Bremen. "I was surprised at his lack of sensitivity."
For Nolte, lurking behind the populist slogans is the beginning of a larger, long-overdue discussion about what he calls the "c-word" -- a sign of Germans' troubled relationship with capitalism.
"There is a deficit in understanding among the German public of what kind of economic order we live in," Nolte said. "It's worth some serious enquiry about why Germans react to the c-word the way they do."
A huge poster hangs on a house Thursday, October 7, 1999, on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the former GDR in the Karl-Marx-Allee avenue in eastern part of Berlin where a last gigantic military parade by East German communist leadership occurred ten years ago. The poster reads: "We were the people."
"In the 1950s and 60s it looked as though we had overcome these reservations," Nolte said. "With the postwar success narratives of the 1970s and 80s, there was the kind of rhetoric that said Germany had finally arrived in the West, had accepted democracy, pluralism, and capitalism -- so long as it was classed as a social market economy."
"But it might be that this acceptance of capitalism had not progressed as far in the postwar period as we thought. Until recently, it was part of an illusion we had, sustained by better economic times."
Germany's role in recent years as the sick man of Europe, coupled with popular skepticism of the government's economic reform agenda has finally caused Germans' unease with the capitalist system to bubble to the surface.
Campaign posters for the May 22, 2005 state election in North Rhine-Westphalia
Chancellor Gerhard Schröder's Social Democrats have governed the populous industrial state for 39 years, but according to the polls, a disastrous electoral defeat in NRW is likely. Yet so widespread is the self-doubt created by Germany's economic downturn that not even the opposition parties have been able to counter the SPD's capitalist-bashing rhetoric, Nolte said.
"The opposition's position is moving too much in the defensive or saying nothing at all. Maybe the situation will change after the elections on Sunday, but even in the rank and file of the conservative parties, there is an uncertainty, a sense that maybe Müntefering has a point, and that we are in danger," said Nolte.
General election issue?
Depending on the outcome of the elections in NRW, foreign analysts are already predicting that Schröder will find it difficult to resist carrying on the populist debate on aggressive capitalism, turning it into a platform issue in the run-up to general elections in 2006.
"Herr Schröder has indulged in anti-American rhetoric before to fight elections, even at the cost of relations with the US, which have never recovered," read a recent commentary in the British newspaper The Times. "It is hard to see why, short of a recovery in the polls, he will resist the temptation of making 'anti-capitalism' his motto for next year's fight."
What could help him resist the temptation, according to Nolte, is the fact that Schröder is a pragmatist who is pro-business at heart. The debate so far has had limited capacity to damage Germany's reputation abroad, he said -- but warned that this could change were the government to take action to clamp down on the activities of foreign investors.
"As long as it stays in the realm it's in now, the debate is probably not as damaging as some would have us believe," Nolte said. "But if it were translated into new regulations or restrictions on foreign capital, then of course it really becomes dangerous."
Some bankers say an ongoing discussion in Germany over capitalism is harming the country's image. But recent events at Deutsche Börse have lent the anti-capitalists support. (May 11, 2005)
Financial investors have recently shown their might by shaking up Deutsche Börse. Their focus on added value puts pressure on companies. But it also raises a company's share value and profitability. (May 15, 2005)

Could you please change the picture for the "HIS/HER" slightly graded audio lesson 4
- cos it is nicer for viewers to see something characteristic of Malaysian life - something more culturally educational - after all, nearly everything else on this site is very good - in quality terms.
The current picture for this particular lesson is somewhat off-putting as the message it sends out is more Euro-American high-school debauchery-oriented and I feel strongly is a little too crude and uncharacteristic of the culture most of us know and love in Malaysia. BTW, my dad's from Inanam in Sabah :)
I love the audio lessons and have gone through all the 5 basic ones a number of times now but want to continue enjoying and loving what I came to this site to enjoy and love - which is learning BM.
There is also a tech problem I've been having with the slightly graded series which means every time I go to listen to the audio, I get an error message saying "error loading file" BTW, this never happened for any of the 5 basic audios and consistently happened though for the slightly graded ones - can you please fix this problem so I can progress in my learning from this site, thanks.
Could you Wan, please send a reply to my email, addressing my concerns. I have recently signed up for the e-newsletter.
Hi Siuyinh,
1) The picture - I have searched high and low worldwide, there's none that met my ideal requirement which is also what you have written. To be honest I don't really like this particular stock photo myself and, to make make something you want is going to cost me a lot of $ and I am not making much from this site. Unless you and two friends are willing to pose free for this website. :-)
2) I believe in another email of yours, you mentioned trying out IE 8, Opera and Maxthon - three different browsers in vain. Have you tried firefox? Because when I tried different browsers, the audios can be heard best on firefox. For now I don't know exactly how to overcome this technical problem. All I can say is, I uploaded the first five basic audios on the server for this website and the rest on the server of another website. I would appreciate further technical feedback on this.
p.s. Say Hi to your dad, I love Inanam folks.

I Wont Be Your Prisoner
Here are some more self portraits I took messing about recently. I used some mesh fabric over the end of the lens to give the slightly hazy effect. The dress was one I wore to my school leavers ball/prom when I was 18. I found it in a charity shop and it had lots of horrendous 80's shoulder detail and bows which I swiftly removed!

I am loving knee socks right now! Wearing them here over jeans for some added warmth for the cold winds outside. Its deceptively blue skies and sunshine outside in my part of the world.. but still so cold! I am also wearing a sequin moon top from Topshop and Jeans from Zara.

My Broken, Broken Words.
Tried to do the photo shoot today. Its too cold! A bright red nose and watering eyes because of the harsh winds was not a good look..
So shoot on hold.. Here is an outfit post instead. I'm wearing a simple black dress with a vest from asos layered over the top, along with knee high socks and a beanie hat from H&M.

I mentioned yesterday that I did a test shoot for a shoot i'm collaborating on with Ebn this week. I took all of these using my tripod and remote control for the camera, hence the slightly shaky results! But It was a good practice for light conditions and editing methods..
I will be sure to upload the actual images from the proper shoot once they are all finished with!

DPS Named to Civic 50
Dr Pepper Snapple Group has once again been named a member of The Civic 50, an initiative to identify and recognize companies for their efforts to improve the communities where they operate. The survey was conducted by the National Conference on Citizenship (NCoC) and Points of Light, expert organizations on civic engagement, and published by Bloomberg News.
"We are proud to be a part of the Civic 50 for the second year in a row," says Vicki Draughn, vice president of corporate affairs for DPS. "It's a reflection of our commitment to drive positive change in communities and a testament to our employees' engagement in making a difference in their hometowns."
DPS continues to advance its ACTION Nation philanthropy program with the mission to foster physically active, engaged and sustainable communities where its employees, customers and consumers operate. The program targets four areas: fit and active lifestyles, environmental initiatives, emergency relief and hometown giving. Highlights from DPS's numerous philanthropic initiatives and partnerships include:
• Let's Play, a community partnership led by DPS to get kids and families active nationwide. The first Let's Play initiative was a three-year, $15 million commitment to non-profit partner KaBOOM! to build or fix up 2,000 playgrounds across the country, benefiting 5 million children. The commitment will be fulfilled this month.
• United Way – DPS has partnered with United Way since 2008, raising close to $8.5 million, including nearly $2.2 million this year, plus contributing thousands of volunteer hours to local United Way chapters and its agencies.
• Keep America Beautiful – DPS donated $300,000 this year to Keep America Beautiful to fund the placement of recycling bins in public state, regional and city parks.
• American Red Cross – The company continues to support the relief efforts of the American Red Cross and its Annual Disaster Giving Program through a $1 million, four-year commitment initiated in 2011.
"The results of this year's Civic 50 survey show that even the most civically engaged companies are doing more to make community engagement a top priority and a permanent aspect of their business strategy," says Michael Weiser, chairman of the Board, National Conference on Citizenship and Neil Bush, chairman of the Board, Points of Light, in a joint statement. "These 50 companies are showing others in the private sector how to boost the bottom line and make the world a better place."
DPS was evaluated on several elements, including leadership, measurement and strategy, design, employee civic health, community partnerships, cause alignment and transparency.
