I just wanted to know what's the difference between ein bisschen and manchmal? When and where should I use each? Can they be used interchangeably?

Here's how it works:
- Anybody can ask a question
- Anybody can answer
- The best answers are voted up and rise to the top
Manchmal talks about times of occurrence so it measures a countable thing. It answers the questions
ein bisschen talks about a quantity of uncountable things or characteristics without being limited to a certain domain. It answers to the questions
They are never interchangeable because one talks about countable and the other about uncountable.
Manchmal = sometimes, ein bisschen = a little bit.

Hard News: The sole party of government,
Online voting is a mindbogglingly terrible idea. Electronic voting in general is a terrible idea, because it's entirely unverifiable. Doing it online only makes it worse.
Hard News: The sole party of government, in reply to
it was my family home, I moved into a rest home, there are is CGT on family homes, so if I sell my family home before I die the family member can inherit the cash and pay no CGT, but if I die before selling the home, then the CGT must be paid when my family sells the (2nd) home? So it's a tax on me dying before converting the asset?
I don't know what the precise definition of "family home" was intended to be, and I suspect it was a detail to be hammered out later.
The exception is bad policy, really. So if your point is that CGT should be uniformly applied to all assets - yes, probably. It's fairly obvious why it wasn't, though.
Hard News: The sole party of government, in reply to
capital gains payable on cash
No. It was already paid (if applicable) when you sold whatever got you the cash. Cash by definition has not increased in value from any time to any other time.
or other inheritance such as collections
If there is some capital gain (increase in value) between the later date of the passage of the law or the acquisition of the items, and you then sell the items, yes. If you don't sell them - no. If they haven't appreciated in value - no.
Hard News: The sole party of government, in reply to
you are forced to realize the gain when you die
No you aren't. That was the point of the policy passage he quoted, even.
Hard News: The sole party of government, in reply to
Well, except in the purely trivial sense, that all taxes are death taxes. You either pay them while you're alive, or they'll take the difference off you when you die.
... except in this actual case, because they only take it when you realise the gain, not when you die, which mark seems to think happens (or something). It's exactly the same cost at exactly the same time whether you're immortal or it's inherited a dozen times before it's sold. Someone dying makes no difference at all, which is as it should be.
Hard News: The sole party of government, in reply to
So basically when a family member dies and leave something of their life's work to their offspring, Labour wanted to slip in there and skim some off the top when they sell it. I can't for the life of me understand the ethical position. It's a death tax. Avoidable by selling your family home in that briefest moment before you issue your last breath.
If you sold it and there was a capital gain you'd pay tax on it, whenever it was sold; your estate would either have an asset that could be realised for $X or $X in cash. There is no sense in which it is a "death tax".
Hard News: Vision and dumbassery,
Over the last week or so I've been gradually growing a Greasemonkey script that adds a little "Ignore" button next to posts. When you click the button, it hides all other posts by that user afterwards, as well as any direct replies to them. Hidden posts are collapsed to one line and can be shown by clicking a "Reveal" button. Perhaps some others will also find it useful for retaining their peace of mind: PAS Ignore.
You will need Greasemonkey for Firefox or Tampermonkey for Chrome to use it.
Hard News: Never mind the quality ..., in reply to
You're allowed to be elected after you get out. Your seat automatically becomes vacant upon conviction but you could even run in the by-election if you're not actually imprisoned at the time.
Primary-school "science" is a pretty meaningless category and I'd imagine that the survey results come down to interpretation of what constitutes teaching science. Dinosaurs, space, and Antarctica were popular topics when I was at primary school, but I don't think any of them were ever actually tagged as being "science", and I could imagine the school saying "no". Genuinely having no scientific content taught at all would be very difficult, particularly given how integrated the approach to everything is outside the English/maths pair.
Hard News: Dirty Politics, in reply to
However, Fonterra's group director of communications Kerry Underhill says the dairy cooperative has never, directly or indirectly, requested or paid for posts on the Whale Oil blog and has never discussed the matter with Carrick Graham.
... He says Fonterra hasn't worked with that public relations agency since he has been with the company [since August 2013], and that to his knowledge Fonterra has never worked with the agency or ever requested or paid for posts on any blogs, either in New Zealand or overseas.
... "These things can take on a life of their own, and this is absolutely without any truth or foundation."

The Question:
How do I get my Web Application to use my connection string login and not the Application Pool Identity?
The Background:
I have started up a .net mvc project and currently use Arvixe for hosting. I made a simple page using a form to communicate with the SQL database. Here is the site.
Just type anything into the text boxes and hit the button. If the communication is successful, it should just return a message.
The error:
Cannot open database "jfphotography" requested by the login. The login failed.
Login failed for user 'SEAWEED\photosbyjoefor_web6'.
My database user is jfphoto_dbadmin. I have tried making it photosbyjoefor_web6, but with no luck. No where in my code do I use, or set anything to, photosbyjoefor_web6. I have tried using photosbyjoefor_web6 in my connection string.
My connection string is correct, and I have been chatting with support for a week now. We believe that the application is using the Application Pool identity, and, using basic services, I am not allowed/Arvixe will not make any custom Application Pool Identities (which makes sense for shared hosting). Unfortunately, I do not want to be paying 40 bucks a month for their private hosting to be able to edit the Application Pools.
My project is using a Code-First approach, data service layers, context layer, all the fun stuff. I have never encountered this type of error before, and I am unsure of how to approach it. I really do not want to re-build my project in a different manner, but if I have to so-be-it.
Connection string:
add name="PhotographyContext" connectionString="Data Source=seaweed.arvixe.com;Initial Catalog=jfphotography;Integrated Security=True;user id=jfphoto_dbadmin;password=**" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient"

Jonathan Papelbon News Archive
Jonathan Papelbon, Wsh RP
Papelbon was yanked with one out in the ninth inning Thursday against the Giants after allowing a hit and a walk. He was ultimately charged with a run.
Nationals manager Dusty Baker suggested after Tuesday's loss to the Indians that the team could potentially explore a change at closer, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports. "It's too soon after [the game to make a decision on a closer]," Baker said about 15 minutes after the loss. "I mean, that's [Papelbon's] job. That's what he's getting paid for. I don't know. We just have to go back to the drawing board. It's too early to say after the game."
Papelbon (2-4) blew the save and took the loss as he failed to get an out and allowed three runs (two earned) on two hits and two walks Tuesday against Cleveland.
Papelbon gave up a hit in a scoreless ninth inning Sunday, striking out two, to pick up his 19th save of the season in a win over the Mets.
Papelbon struck out one in a perfect ninth inning during Friday's win over the Mets to notch his 18th save of the season.
Papelbon struck out all three batters he faced to notch his 17th save of the year Wednesday against the Brewers.
Papelbon pitched a perfect top of the ninth inning in his return from a rib injury Monday, striking out two, in a 1-0 loss to the Brewers.
Papelbon (ribs) was activated from the 15-day DL on Monday.
Papelbon (ribs) will pitch Friday and Saturday on a rehab assignment with Double-A Harrisburg, Matt Breen of the Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
Papelbon (ribs) said he felt great after throwing 30 pitches in a simulated game Wednesday, Jamal Collier of MLB.com reports.

This review is from: Titanic Survivor (Hardcover)
Anyone looking for a description of sinking ships and violent disasters at sea should know this is not the book for you. The Olympic-Hawke collision is not even mentioned. The Titanic tragedy gets a few pages, and the Brittanic a few more, but this is primarily the story of a young woman at sea in early last century. I prefer traditional disaster books, but found this one to be quite good in any case. Jessop takes us through her life as a steward on the White Star ships, slaving for many a demanding passenger. Readers will enjoy her insightful descriptions of people along the way. Clearly human nature has not changed over the last hundred years. The maritime accidents, so important to us today, were important to Violet only as they shaped her life and added to her experiences.
I disagree with the Amazon reviewer who found Graham's commentary annoying. I thought they were very helpful in giving us an overview and keeping the story in place. In fact it can perhaps be said that no one is responsible for any errors in this book. Graham did not write the book, and Jessop kept it as a diary, not for public consumption. But I don't think anyone will have much to complain about anyway.

Review this title!
Must watch! Not for kids.
First of all, I LOVED this film and have seen it several times. It's not one you would find very often, it's unique and very underestimated! It's strictly for the older crowd only, I would say anyone under 16 should wait to watch this. It's a tragic story of a kid who gets bullied at school, his older brother & friends come up with a plan to teach him a lesson, but the prank goes terribly wrong. I like this movie because it's extremely realistic of what teens go through on a daily basis and I think it's important for adults to understand that. Lets be real, kids today do far worse things to their peers than what is presented in this story. The characters do have heart and most of them decide to cancel the prank half way through the trip but then things turn for the worst and it's too late. It's intense, suspenseful with a little light humor & fun to keep things interesting. It's a little slow moving toward the mid-end but still has you glued to the screen. This is the type of film where you really feel for the characters, it makes you think and wonder what you would do in their position at their age. And to me, that is a very well made movie worth watching! There is a lot of strong cussing (A LOT), even by tweens. There isn't that much violence (a few scenes and one intense one) but not overly done. Lots of alcohol use with some drugs involved (marijuana), quite a few sexual references, no real nudity except for a bare butt during a "Truth or Dare" game, lots of insults and references to a character being Gay. Overall, excellent acting (wow!), great cast, very enjoyable film worth watching more than once. Rated a high 7.3 on IMDB site!

At the heady peak of the Anna Hazare movement in 2011, the question we were often asked was, so why are you so against this anti-corruption movement that will send thieving netas to jail? In condemnatory Twitter precis, it was usually worded more pithily: You are pro-corruption.
This is a useful time to list our arguments against the Anna movement. First, that while corruption was a terrible problem, its solution was not the creation of an omnipotent Lokpal answerable to none and a police state. Also that the Jan Lokpal Bill, in that form, was unconstitutional and undemocratic and would never pass. The larger solution to corruption was governance reform and reducing areas of friction between the ordinary citizen and the sarkar. Second, that the movement was so apolitical, so bereft of political energy, that it was bound to lose momentum as ideology (not just idealism) is the fuel of popular movements in democracy. Third, that its "mera neta chor hai" approach to India's problems, thereby condemning Indian politics, was flawed. That while there was a lot that was rotten with the system, you couldn't cleanse it from the outside. You had to come inside the larger democratic and political tent and force the traditional politician to compete with you on ideas and ideologies. And fourth, that politics is never simply black or white. It is even more complex than mere shades of grey. It is inclusive, accommodative, negotiatory, unforgiving and merciless. So don't just condemn your politics. Join the fray and rout the "bad guys".
Two years hence, we can report with journalistic satisfaction that each one of these arguments is won. The Jan Lokpal Bill is now history. Anna's movement is finished and those that glowed in his giant halo are now fighting with him like schoolchildren, with Anna pretty much accusing them of stealing his trademarks. Anna's children, led by the most favourite and impressive of them all, Arvind Kejriwal, have now become a regular political party with caps, slogans and an election symbol. And finally, though some could still argue that the jury is out on this one, they are realising the complexities of our politics and governance.
The political picture of the year is one this paper has published on page one today. It shows Aam Aadmi Party leader Yogendra Yadav(originally one of our most respected political science intellectuals) flanked by his colleagues and besieged by reporters and microphones. So what's so unusual about it? Aren't politicians supposed to be speaking to the media during elections? And when did you see the leaders of the AAP not mobbed by doting media? The difference this time is that journalists are raising uncomfortable questions, which Yadav is having to answer. This you had never seen before. In their activist phase, these TV studio superstars only gave homilies to wide-eyed journalists and asked the rest of the country, particularly the political class, questions. For the first time now, they are having to "explain" charges against them. So welcome to politics. And Anna's legatees have even demonstrated that they have been quick to learn the craft. They are answering charges with charges, and threatening the messenger (in this case, a web portal that's "stung" them), though defamation cases haven't exactly been a popular device in our political practice.
But much ground remains to be covered. You need to underline much that is still touchingly juvenile or arrogantly simplistic, depending on how you look at their politics. They have learnt populism from old-style politicians: so free water, power at half price and so on. But mohalla sabhas (basically an extension of the current Resident Welfare Associations, RWAs?) and citizens' security forces? It is one thing to confuse a Sunday crowd of a few tens of thousands at Ramlila Maidan with a wide popular mandate. But to crowdsource governance? If every decision is taken on the street, where is the need to elect assemblies and parliaments? Just collect a mob, deliver instant decisions and justice. It's been done before. By the Chinese during the Cultural Revolution and currently by their offspring, the Maoists in east-central tribal India.
The manifesto doesn't tell us who or what a mohalla sabha will be but if it's the mother of all RWAs, we know what it could be. For, the RWA is one of the most elitist, undemocratic, unequal and apolitical entities in an Indian city. Frankly, the person who can explain this to you much better than me is Yogendra Yadav. An RWA, by definition, consists of a colony's residents, in fact even more precisely, its house-owners. All others, from tenants to security guards, domestic help to drivers, streetside vendors, cleaners, the corner presswallah, the gardeners, all the people we can't survive without, are excluded. This answers the original Anna movement appeal to the elites who so greatly resent the fact that in this society of such horrible inequalities, the only thing of equal value in your hands and your maidservant's is the vote. It follows that people like your maidservant are much more numerous than you. No wonder then that they elect such lousy governments. So change the system one way and/or the other. Bring apolitical politicians to power, and then hand over all decision-making to mobs of sensible, mature PLU.
The essence of democratic governance is the opposite. A majority of voters elect a government, which then decides on the issues of the day, conscious that the same voters will reward or punish it for this after five years. An elected government must have the ability and nerve to take decisions in the larger public interest, even though they may be contrary to the popular mood at that instant. Take two simple examples. If you had crowdsourced the decision on whether or not to go to war with Pakistan in the week after the Parliament attack (December 2001) and during 26/11 in 2008, the overwhelming "vote" would have been to go in all guns blazing, nukes and all. That Atal Bihari Vajpayee and later Manmohan Singh resisted public anger underlines the strength of our democracy, not some weakness.
That such intellectually gifted leaders of India's youngest and in a long time, most exciting political party have got this basic politics of governance so wrong is a surprise. But then, everybody falters somewhere on the learning curve. For a debutante, the AAP has made quite an impact in Delhi. To begin with, it is such a pleasure to see some new faces in our very predictable politics and its cast of characters. Second, it has made a brilliantly disruptive electoral impact by building an impressive support base in the capital's poorer slum and resettlement colonies which the Congress, in its fossilised thinking, had taken for granted since 1952. A party led, supported and funded by the elites but voted for by the poor is an incredibly interesting idea. But it goes wrong the moment it suspends its judgement on what politics is all about.
Politics needs years, if not decades, of hard work. You can't keep setting deadlines for yourself and everybody else. (We will pass the Jan Lokpal Bill on December 29, EC needs to probe our complaint within 48 hours). And if you get carried away by your first sighting of a crowd and allow anybody who supports you and is familiar enough on your stage, you are headed for trouble. Kejriwal & Co should have learnt this lesson the moment a drunken Om Puri appeared at Ramlila Maidan. You cannot build a new politics by dragging dimwit semi-celebrities and busybodies on your bandwagon. That is why the great embarrassment again of that MTV Roadies dude using a description for Home Minister Sushilkumar Shinde so horrible, that even if I repeated it as an accurate quote, I could go to jail for insulting a Dalit and deservedly so under the Scheduled Castes and Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act. Shinde just had to complain and that despicable Mr Dude Roady would be in Tihar. But how did Shinde respond to that insult delivered while the AAP's most prominent candidate was giggling in delight? He said he has ignored it. Now, you may have a million good questions on Shinde's performance as home minister. But one thing you can learn from an old-fashioned Indian politician is politics.

Product Description
In the first episode, "Trying to Connect You," before Father Clifford has a chance to arrive in the town of Ballykissangel, the bus he is riding is almost smashed to bits by a huge wooden box. He soon finds out that this box contains a welcome gift from Brian Quigley, Ballykissangel's occasionally misguided preeminent businessman. The second episode, "The Things We Do for Love," finds a blast from Father Clifford's past arriving in town. Quigley's daughter, Niamh, is set to wed Ambrose, the earnest village guard, in "Live in My Heart and Pay No Rent." "Fallen Angel" finds a pirate radio station, Angel FM, and its DJ broadcasting hip tunes, wisecracks, and local gossip in an atrocious American accent over the town. When the DJ reveals that it's Father Clifford's birthday, Assumpta thinks up a gift that will surely get things rolling. "The Power and the Glory" is a bit tense for many of the characters. Quigley decides to run in the local election against the aspiring crematorium-builder, Sean Dooley, but an old flame of Assumpta's--a journalist--starts digging around and causing all sorts of trouble. In the sixth and last episode of the season, "Missing You Already," Father Clifford finds out he is about to be sent back to England. Meanwhile, Assumpta is busy coping with the impending competition of Quigley's Bar and Grill, which is moving in for the local festival and possibly longer. And finally, the happy couple of Niamh and Ambrose are getting married. This could be the end for the English priest in the small Irish town. --Amanda Powter

Only, unlike NORTHERN EXPOSURE, BallyK's inhabitants are a bit more realistic than Cicely's. You won't find radio announcers making catapult art, insane hypochondriacs badgering hermit chefs, or waitresses breaking into chronic song. Rather, BallyK is peopled by characters who present us with humor derived from their very ordinary humanity.
In truth, after the departure of Stephen Tompkinson and Dervla Kirwan, that humanity becomes a little too ordinary, and the show slips into a kind of soap opera normalcy. But for the two-year tenure of Tompkinson's Father Clifford and Kirwan's Assumpta Fitzgerald, BallyK is a fascinating place, where the storyline is fresh, and the characters genuinely evolve.
It's clear that the writers love their characters. They take great care to provide us with ones so involving, it is sometimes difficult to discern who the stars of the show actually are. Each main character has a well-defined relationship with all the rest.
At the end of the day, however, the show is most about two of them. The writers' greatest feat is the complete story arc of the Clifford-Fitzgerald relationship. It stands as one of the most complex liasons in the history of English-language television.Read more ›
"Ballykissangel" is about young Father Peter Clifford (Stephen Tompkinson) who has come from England to the Irish town of Ballykissangel (Baile Coisc Aingeal) to be the curate at the local parish. You would think that the problem is going to be that the young priest is English, but it turns out to be his way of thinking and not his country of origin that shakes things up in town:
Episode 1, "Trying to Connect You" (Written by Kieran Prendiville, First aired February 11, 1996) starts with an interesting race. Can the new priest get to town before whatever is in that giant crate marked "Fragile" that is rolling down the mountainside and into Ballykissangel? Father Peter gets a ride Assumpta Fitzgerald (Dervla Kirwan), who runs the local tavern and has no use for the church. Then there are Niamh Quigley (Tina Kellegher) and Ambrose Egan (Peter Hanly), who are supposed to be getting married. But she wants to make sure they are really compatible which means living and sleeping together and he does not want to commit a mortal. Meanwhile, Father MacAnally (Niall Toibin) is not happy to have a new curate who cannot drive and then there is what is in that box that Brian Quigley (Tony Doyle) has bought for the church.Read more ›
Being a big fan of the show, I generally wanted to get BALLYKISSANGEL when it was released on tape. It is a very entertaining show about the going-ons of a small Irish village. Although it may resemble a normal drama, don't let that fool you. It possesses an atmosphere of oddball humor. Despite the realistic trappings, anything unusual, from an automatic confessional to wooden sheep, may occur in this town. It's NORTHERN EXPOSURE in Ireland. Volume one features the pilot episode, introducing Father Peter Clifford (DROP THE DEAD DONKEYS' Stephen Tompkinson) as the arriving priest of the town's St. Joseph's parish. Along the way he meets the no-nonsense barkeeper Assumpta Fitzgerald (Devla Kirwin), the ambitious businessman Brian Quigley (Tony Doyle), his headstrong daughter Niamh (THE SNAPPER'S Tina Kellegher), and clumsy Gardi Ambrose Egan (BRAVEHEART'S Peter Hanly).
As an additional treat to BallyK fans, each video features a behind-the-scenes documentary on the making of the show.

While famiarity with the film may slightly enhance your enjoyment of this soundtrack, it's not absolutely necessary. The important thing is to give these songs adequate listenings. They won't hit you right away with big hooks or soaring vocals. But once they sink in, they take your breath away with the melodies' subtle beauty, Tom Waits' amazing wordplay (and surprising romanticism), Crystal Gayle's gentle, expressive vocals, and its overall haunting, dreamy, atmospheric sound that truly "transports" you. To me, it's simply one of the finest soundtracks ever written (plus a reminder for me to catch up on Waits' long, distinguised recording career). My only complaint with the original soundtrack release was that I regarded it as too short. This new version includes two unused/unreleased songs from the Zoetrope vaults, both sung solo (and movingly) by Waits. So, not only does this new CD reach my desired length in a soundtrack, but I'm happy to report that the added songs are just as outstanding in quality as the original tunes, and now sound and feel like they were always there. A WONDERFUL listening experience!
Apparently at the time, Tom was going through a bit of a career crisis and was on the verge of leaving the business. Despite masterpieces like, SMALL CHANGE he was verging on a parody of what he drank so hard to forget. Then Francis Ford Coppola came knocking & locked him in a room with nothing but a Steinway and a dream. When he finally woke up, he had a steady paycheck, a wife, and an an Oscar bid for Best Original Score. Not to mention a head full of strange ideas. Though the movie may not be the lost masterpeice Coppola would have you believe, the soundtrack is.
Hardcore fans of those rusty pipes may be put off by the presence of Loretta Lynn's little sister, but don't let that turn you away from sampling some of Wait's most haunting compositions. And this is the only place you'll hear them. The smokey caberet of "Old Boyfriends" is quintessential Waits. Though I've heard him sing it on his own, I still prefer the Crystal Gayle version. "Broken Bicycles" is worth the price of admission alone. Lines like, "all those playing cards tied to the spokes" could only come from one guy. Sweet, simple and unquestionably sad, it's right up there with "Johnsburg Illinois" off of SWORDFISHTROMBONES.
Though I'm more of fan of his later work, I've always had a soft spot for that corny 1977 duet with Bette Midler off of FOREIGN AFFAIRS. Infact, Midler was Coppola's 1st choice for this project.Read more ›
Those who are put off by Waits' more experimental material will be glad to know that the material on this album is comprised mostly of tender love ballads. Yet with its lyrical references to Monopoly and nursery rhymes, any Waits fan should be able to appreciate it.
