Danfoss, Baltimore, MD, recently issued a press release in support of The Energy Savings and Industrial Competitiveness Act of 2013, S.761. The bill was recently reintroduced by Senators Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH) and Rob Portman (R-OH).
The Shaheen-Portman legislation would increase the use of energy-efficiency technologies in the residential, commercial, and industrial sectors. The bipartisan legislation is a deficit-neutral proposal that would drive economic growth and generate clean energy jobs in the United States. Furthermore, it would boost investment in building efficiency upgrades, help manufacturers reduce energy use, and strengthen national model building codes.
Specifically, the bill would:
- Strengthen national model building codes to make new homes and commercial buildings more energy efficient, while working with states and private industry to make the code-writing process more transparent
• Direct U.S. Department of Energy to work closely with private sector partners to encourage research, development, and commercialization of innovative energy-efficiency technology and processes for industrial applications
• Provide funding to states in support of commercial building energy-efficiency financing
• Establish "SupplySTAR," a DOE program to help make companies' supply chain more efficient
• Allow federal agencies to use existing funds to update plans for new federal buildings, using the most current building efficiency standards
READ THE TEXT OF THE BILL HERE: Shaheen-Portman S.761.
"We commend Senators Shaheen and Portman for their leadership in energy efficiency. This bipartisan bill is an important piece of legislation to create jobs and incentivize broad deployment of technologies available today to reduce energy use in the U.S.," commented Robert Wilkins, vice president of public affairs for Danfoss.
The bill has bi-partisan support as well as a broad base of support by over 200 entities including businesses, environmental groups, and trade associations.

St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries is a wizarding hospital located in London, England. It was founded by famous Healer Mungo Bonham in the 1600s.[1] The emblem of St. Mungo's is a wand crossed with a bone. It is a huge hospital.
Hogwarts students that are injured at school are normally treated at the Hospital wing by Madam Pomfrey, the school nurse, but some injuries are too major for her, so the students are sent to St. Mungo's Hospital for better treatment.
As this hospital seems to be the only hospital featured in the Harry Potter films and novels, it may be that the hospital serves the entire British wizarding population. It may be the case that some charms have been placed upon it to be bigger on the inside than the outside, though a large enough department store could quite easily provide sufficient space as the Wizarding population of Britain is small compared with the muggle population of Britian.
Entering the HospitalEdit
To enter the premises, one may step through the window of what appears to be a red-bricked, condemned department store called Purge and Dowse, Ltd. This acts as a magical gateway to the main building, much like the barrier at King's Cross Station to Platform Nine and Three-Quarters. The interior, on the other hand, looks exactly as a hospital should.
The hospital is located where it is because no one could find a better place to house it. Everywhere in Diagon Alley was too small, so people came up with ideas to build it underground like the Ministry of Magic, but it was decided that underground was too unhealthy. Eventually, a normal Muggle building was purchased so that patients could come and go and fit in with the crowds.
- Harry Potter: "Are they doctors?"
- Ron Weasley: "Doctors? Those Muggle nutters who cut people up? Nah, they're Healers."
- — Harry Potter and Ron Weasley on Healers[src]
Medics at the hospital are known Healers or Mediwizards. Their uniform robes are lime green. Requirements to become a Healer include N.E.W.T.s of at least grade E (Exceeds Expectations) in the subjects of Transfiguration, Potions, Charms, Herbology and Defence Against the Dark Arts.
Dilys Derwent was a St. Mungo's Healer from 1722-1741. Afterwards, she became Headmistress of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry from 1741-1768. Another Healer at St. Mungo's was a man named Lancelot.
Floor planEdit
Ground Floor - Reception and Artefact AccidentsEdit
In the reception area, a Welcome Witch sits at a desk marked Inquiries. The receptionist helps anyone who is unsure where to go, incapable of normal speech, or unable to remember why they are at the Hospital.
Artefact Accidents deals with cauldron explosions, wands backfiring, broom crashes, and so forth.
First Floor - Creature-Induced InjuriesEdit
Location of the "Dangerous" Dai Llewellyn Ward Addresses bites, stings, burns, embedded spines, etc.
- Healer-in-Charge
- Hippocrates Smethwyck
- Trainee Healer
- Augustus Pye
Arthur Weasley was a patient here after being attacked by Nagini. He shared the ward with a man who had been bitten by a werewolf and a woman with a massive chunk out of her leg who refused to tell the Healers what had bitten her arousing suspicions she had been handling something illegal. Also, according to Arthur Weasley, there was a nasty smell when the healers changed her dressings.
Second Floor - Magical Bugs and DiseasesEdit
Addresses contagious maladies such as dragon pox, Vanishing Sickness, and Scrofungulus.
Third Floor - Potions and Plant PoisoningEdit
Addresses rashes, regurgitation, uncontrollable giggling, and more.
Fourth Floor - Spell DamageEdit
Addresses unliftable jinxes, hexes, incorrectly-applied charms, etc.
Herbert Chorley, Muggle Junior Minister, was admitted to the hospital, afflicted with a badly-performed Imperius Curse. The spell caused him to impersonate a duck. While being treated at the hospital, he tried to strangle some Healers.
Professor Minerva McGonagall was admitted to this floor after receiving four Stunning Spells to the chest at the hands of Dolores Umbridge.
Nymphadora Tonks was a patient here after her battle with Bellatrix Lestrange in 1996.
Katie Bell would have been a patient on this floor when she was admitted to St. Mungo's after touching a cursed necklace she was carrying. At the time, she was under the influence of the Imperius Curse.
Someone who was there at the same time as the Weasley family had shoes that his brother had jinxed to bite his feet.
Also located on this floor is the Janus Thickey Ward, a long-term residence ward which is usually kept locked. Patients with permanent or long-lasting spell damage reside here. Residents at this ward have been Broderick Bode, Alice and Frank Longbottom, a witch named Agnes, and Gilderoy Lockhart.
Fifth Floor - Visitors' Tearoom and Hospital ShopEdit
A place for visitors to relax and purchase gifts for patients.
Mungo Bonham could have been named after Saint Mungo, aka Saint Kentigern, the patron saint of Glasgow [2]. His pregnant mother was abandoned by her family before his birth. He is considered the first bishop of Scotland. "Mungo" was also a nickname meaning "dear one" or "darling".

Car Review
2013 GMC Terrain: New Car Review
Pros: Powerful V6; quiet and comfortable ride; impressive fuel economy; bold styling; sliding second row; good storage space
Cons: No third row seat; vague steering feel; underwhelming dynamics
What's New: Top trim Denali model; new, 3.6-liter V6; available IntelliLink infotainment; optional advanced Safety Package
While some classify the GMC Terrain as a compact crossover, others say it's a midsize. The truth is the 2013 GMC Terrain enjoys the best of both designations. It offers fuel economy fit for a compact and the roominess of a midsize utility. Add to the equation truck-like styling and the GMC Terrain becomes a truly compelling package.
The Terrain delivers on many fronts, much like its almost identical counterpart, the well-rounded Chevrolet Equinox. Both crossovers are competent people-haulers emphasizing comfort, fuel economy, refinement and roominess, all things held in regard by those shopping for a family vehicle. But the Terrain sets itself apart with distinctive styling elements such as a prominent grille, oversize wheel arches and squared-off body panels.
Despite its rugged name, the Terrain does not offer any kind of off-road capability. To the contrary, the only terrain that the Terrain is truly suited for is asphalt. The Terrain's available all-wheel drive system is fine for handling harsh weather and road conditions, but it's less than ideal for treading a muddy trail through the woods.
For 2013, the Terrain is joined by a top-of-the-line Denali version with luxury appointments like those on other GMC Denali models. These include unique styling elements, 19- and 20-inch wheels, and extra comfort and safety equipment. A new Safety Package is also available for 2013 and includes driver assistance features like forward collision alert, lane departure warning and rear parking sensors. Finally, 2013 Terrain drivers can now opt for a color touchscreen radio with GMC's IntelliLink infotainment system or color touchscreen navigation with IntelliLink.
Comfort & Utility
The Terrain's cabin is airy, attractive and amply outfitted. It's also very similar to that of the Chevrolet Equinox. It uses the same twin cockpit design that can be punched up with an optional 2-tone color scheme and red ambient lighting. GMC makes the Terrain's interior a bit more upscale than that of its Chevy sibling with more soft-touch surfaces, higher quality materials and a wider array of standard features.
Seats are well-padded with lots of leg- and headroom in both rows. And the reclining 60/40 split rear bench can move forward and backward up to eight inches. This sliding feature helps to better accommodate tall backseat passengers or expand the rear cargo space.
With a maximum cargo volume of 64 cu ft, the Terrain makes room for plenty of luggage or gear. It's not the largest cargo hold in the segment, but it's very usable. Even with the rear seats up, the Terrain easily makes room for a couple of large suitcases.
The Terrain is available in five trim levels: SLE-1, SLE-2, SLT-1, SLT-2 and Denali. The SLE-1 brings standard convenience features such as a blind spot mirror, cruise control and power height adjustments for the driver's seat. The SLE-2 adds 8-way power adjustability for the driver seat and automatic climate control. The uplevel SLT-1 includes remote start, seat heat and leather upholstery, while the SLT-2 trim adds a power liftgate and a sunroof. The new-for-2013 Terrain Denali not only has unique wheels and a Denali-specific grille design, but also has upgraded interior finishes, IntelliLink infotainment and driver assistance features like a blind spot monitor and rear cross-traffic alert.
When properly outfitted, the Terrain offers families a near-luxury midsize crossover experience.
The 2013 Terrain has a number of technology features starting with the base model's Bluetooth connectivity, a rearview camera and a touchscreen sound system interface with USB port. Higher-end stand-alone options include voice command navigation with digital music storage and a twin screen rear DVD system.
Also available is GMC's IntelliLink smartphone integration system. This technology is operated via the Terrain's touchscreen stereo interface and harnesses Bluetooth to stream audio from Internet-based music sources like Pandora.
Performance & Fuel Economy
Front- and all-wheel drive Terrain models are equipped with a choice of two engines. The standard 2.4-liter 4-cylinder makes a sufficient 182 horsepower and 172 lb-ft of torque. Energy is managed by a 6-speed automatic transmission. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) estimates fuel economy as 22 mpg city/32 mpg hwy with front-wheel drive and 20/29 mpg with all-wheel drive.
A new, more powerful 3.6-liter V6 is optional for all models except the base SLE-1. Output is 301 hp -- 37 hp more than the outgoing 3.0-liter V6 -- and 272 lb-ft of torque, an increase of 50 lb-ft. Although more powerful than the old V6, EPA-estimated fuel economy remains unchanged at 17 mpg city/24 mpg highway with front-wheel drive and 16/23 mpg with all-wheel drive.
In terms of towing capacity, the 4-cylinder Terrain has a limit of 1500 pounds, while the V6-powered model can pull up to 3500 lb.
Standard safety comes from six airbags, OnStar emergency telematics, ABS, stability control and traction control.
To elevate occupant protection, GMC also offers optional lane departure warning and forward collision alert systems, part of the Safety Package available on the SLE-2 and SLT-1 and standard on the SLT-2 and Denali. The Denali also includes a standard blind spot monitor and rear cross-traffic alert.
Driving Impressions
First and foremost, the Terrain delivers a comfortable and quiet ride that's well-suited for daily commuting or long-distance road trips. GMC has gone to extra effort to make the Terrain's cabin as free from exterior noise as possible. A plush, well-shielded driving experience is what the majority of family-centric buyers want, and the Terrain delivers.
The Terrain really isn't fun to drive, though. Its handling is lackluster, and its steering feels numb and disconnected. Furthermore, the Terrain exhibits noticeable body roll in corners.
As for power, the 4-cylinder Terrain is a fine choice for everyday driving. Power delivery is smooth and steady throughout the rev band. The only time it may come up short is when the Terrain is loaded down with passengers and cargo.
Equipped with the new V6, the Terrain is noticeably more powerful. Off-the-line acceleration feels strong, and the V6 Terrain pulls highway passing maneuvers without struggling. But compared with the base 4-cylinder, this engine takes a beating on fuel economy.
Although the Terrain is not ideal for going off-pavement, it is a capable towing vehicle. Choosing the V6 and the optional trailer package lets the Terrain driver tow a small boat.
Other Cars to Consider
Honda CR-V - The CR-V offers more cargo capacity but no V6 engine option. Both vehicles provide comfortable transportation for five.
Toyota RAV4 - Toyota just debuted a new-for-2013 RAV4 at the 2012 LA Auto Show, but many details -- equipment, fuel economy estimates and pricing -- have not yet been announced. The 2013 RAV4 arrives next year and, like the CR-V, will be offered solely with a 4-cylinder engine.
Ford Escape - All new for 2013, the Escape has more high tech features and is available with a wider range of engine choices including a hybrid drivetrain. But the Terrain's sliding rear seat gives it more interior versatility.
Kia Sportage - The Sportage is sportier and more fun to drive than the Terrain. But the Terrain offers more cargo room and a roomier second row seat that slides and reclines.
AutoTrader Recommends
The 2013 GMC Terrain variant that makes the most sense is the SLT-1 trim matched with the 4-cylinder engine. The 4-cylinder provides adequate power and better fuel economy, and the SLT-1 trim offers the best value among the five models. It comes equipped with features such as remote start, seat heat, leather upholstery, a touchscreen audio system and a backup camera, but does so without breaking the bank. We also suggest opting for the available navigation and Safety Package. For those living in colder regions, all-wheel drive is highly recommended. Otherwise, stick to the thriftier front-wheel drive setup.

The art-house is no longer hidden away in some small, dank theater, but readily available. There's an immediacy to this way of experiencing film that is refreshing and exciting.
Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) December 1, 2006
box[ur]shorts Film Festival, a yearlong short film exhibition taking place internationally at restaurants, bars, coffee houses and laundromats in cities from Los Angeles and New York to Basel, Switzerland and Hiroshima, Japan, today announced its first annual awards night will take place at the Karma Coffeehouse, 1544 N Cahuenga Blvd, in Hollywood on Tuesday, December 19. Doors open at 6 pm and the event starts at 7.
box[ur]shorts, a new form of short film exhibition and concept created by festival directors Giacun Caduff and Ryan Reichenfeld, is an innovative approach to watching movies that becomes part of viewers' everyday experiences -- something one can do while waiting for a table at a restaurant or hanging out at a favorite coffee house.
"Our goal is to bring short films to new audiences and to establish a direct connection between filmmakers and their viewer. We do this by screening at places where the audience has time to watch a short; be that at a coffee shop, laundry store, bar, etc. It's entertainment to bridge waits along with online streaming of the films - this is how we hope to create a new platform for short films," says Caduff.
On the box[ur]shorts concept, Denise Mann, Co-chair, Producers Program, and Assistant Professor, UCLA Department of Film, TV and Digital Media comments, "The art-house is no longer hidden away in some small, dank theater, but readily available. There's an immediacy to this way of experiencing film that is refreshing and exciting."
box[ur]shorts Film Festival has shown all competing movies during the year in artistic movie jukeboxes at international locations. The films are programmed in four seasons and loop non-stop on different size LCD screens inside boxes and also gives the viewer an option to make a selection from an interactive menu.
The first box[ur]shorts Film Festival Award Night will open its doors for the public to enjoy their top 15 movies on the big screen. Pre-registration to attend the private party event is required at http://www.boxurshorts.com. Chosen by an industry panel of diverse judges, the films will be lined up in a countdown screening for the evening. Based on the judges' selections, filmmakers will be awarded Golden, Silver, and Bronze box[ur]shorts trophies. And, one filmmaker will receive the box[ur]shorts Audience Award as voted on and selected by the audience both online and that evening.

Sudden Independents by Ted Hill – .99
Jimmy never thought he'd be spending the apocalypse farming in Nebraska and worrying about Hunter. But when the plague killed their parents, along with everyone over the age of seventeen, Jimmy suddenly became head of the household.
Then the oldest kid in town turned eighteen and the plague chased him down. Now Jimmy has one more thing to worry about—and he's running out of time.

The Scourge by A G Henley 2.99
Seventeen-year-old Groundling, Fennel, is Sightless. She's never been able to see her lush forest home, but she knows its secrets. She knows how the shadows shift when she passes under a canopy of trees. She knows how to hide in the cool, damp caves when the Scourge comes. She knows how devious and arrogant the Groundlings' tree-dwelling neighbors, the Lofties, can be.
And she's always known this day would come—the day she faces the Scourge alone.
The Sightless, like Fenn, are mysteriously protected from the Scourge, the gruesome creatures roaming the forests, reeking of festering flesh and consuming anything—and anyone—living. A Sightless Groundling must brave the Scourge and bring fresh water to the people of the forest. Today, that task becomes Fenn's.
Fenn will have a Lofty Keeper, Peree, as her companion. Everyone knows the Lofties wouldn't hesitate to shoot an arrow through the back of an unsuspecting Groundling like Fenn, but Peree seems different. A boy with warm, rough hands who smells like summer, he is surprisingly kind and thoughtful. Although Fenn knows his people are treacherous, she finds herself wanting to trust him.
As their forest community teeters on the brink of war, Fenn and Peree must learn to work together to survive the Scourge and ensure their people's survival. But when Fenn uncovers a secret that shatters her truths, she's forced to decide who and what to protect—her people, her growing love for Peree, or the elusive dream of lasting peace in the forest.

She forsakes her own safety to go in search of the killer. Luc decides to go with her otherwise she'll be dead before she's past the security gate. But what awaits her outside is more unbelievable than she ever expected.
Cut to the present day where Eleanor's world is falling apart. This time next year, civilisation won't be quite so civilised . . .

When she accidentally controls Raf's mind and nearly kills him, Kira tries to hide her frightening new ability from her family and an increasingly suspicious Raf.

DURHAM � A punt return for a touchdown by Duke�s Lee Butler helped set the tone for the Blue Devils in their 54-17 victory against North Carolina Central in Saturday night�s non-conference football game at Wallace Wade Stadium.
Running back Josh Snead scored two touchdowns, one on a reception and another on a rush as Duke won the second-ever football meeting between the Durham schools.
Ross Cockrell intercepted two passes for Duke, returning the second one 32 yards for a touchdown in the fourth quarter.
The 54 points marked the second-most scored by Duke in coach David Cutcliffe�s five seasons, failing to tie the mark because of a botched extra point following the last touchdown.
The punt return went for 65 yards, with Butler appearing pinned in on the Duke sideline near the N.C. Central 40-yard line before breaking loose. Butler, a fifth-year senior cornerback, scored for the first time in his college career.
Duke (2-1) scored 17 unanswered points to pull away from a 10-7 advantage. That rapid points production began with a 33-yard touchdown pass from Sean Renfree to Jamison Crowder.
N.C. Central (1-2) ended the Blue Devils� scoring burst with a field goal in the waning seconds of the first half, which ended with a 27-10 scored.
Despite the margin, N.C. Central held a 200-198 edge in total offense at halftime.
The Blue Devils struck for two third-quarter touchdowns, the second on a 54-yard pass play from Renfree to Issac Blakeney.
Renfree finished with three touchdown passes, marking the first time he has had that many. The senior has thrown for four twice.

FRANKLIN - Linda Whittemore, a 1977 graduate of Franklin High School, swears that her graduating class buried a time capsule somewhere in the ground outside of the school.
And alumni are adamant that at least four more capsules remain buried. The classes of 1979, 1983, 1984 and 2000 all claim to have buried capsules in the ground - the only problem is that nobody can pinpoint where exactly they are.
According to Town Administrator Jeff Nutting, crews took a day last weekend to "probe around in front of the school" to find the capsules.
He said many alumni and residents called and emailed town officials asking them to look for the capsules after Internet chatter on Facebook alumni pages.
He said the town wanted "to do the right thing," but as hard as they tried, nothing was found.
"They spent most of the day there, but came up empty," Nutting said. "It's unfortunate. It would have been great."
Nutting said when a "giant green area" in front of the school was converted into a temporary gravel parking lot last year, nothing was found there either.
He called the weekend endeavor a "last-ditch effort," as the old school is now "in the middle of a construction site" as the new Franklin High School nears completion. The old high school is slated for demolition later this month.
With contractors moving materials and storing equipment in front of the school, Nutting said those who wish to search on their own can do so for "another day or two."
"We're pretty much out of time," he said.
But Whittemore said she and some of her classmates are determined to uncover part of their past.
"A lot of the alumni are working on it," Whittemore said, as many of her classmates remember burying the capsule by the flagpole in front of the school.
"If I remember correctly, we decided that was the best place," she said.
The 43-year-old school will be demolished later this summer to give the new 300,000-square-foot building next door some breathing room. Last month, the school opened on a Saturday for past and current students to get one last glimpse of the school that helped shape their future.
"It might have been that walkthrough that put a fire under everybody," Whittemore said. "This whole thing is very hard for people. We've been graduated a long time, but it still feels like it was yesterday in many ways."

I love you, my Angel
The night Edward 'died' but he wasn't alone. There was someone beside him, begging him to stay the whole time, pleading with him not to leave her in the darkness of her world. AU.
Sooo....This can be a one shot....or it can't be a one shot....u choose.... I got the idea from listening to The River Flows In You and looking at an old fashoned picture hanging on my wall of a flower surounded building with lots of windows and a horse buggy outside....but I'm not really sure how that ended up as this....hmmmm...
1. I love you, my Angel
Rating 5/5 Word Count 1115 Review this Chapter
Rain fell lightly, thudding on the carriage. The horses jingling and bustling drowned out the sound of the night. My heart was beating painfully fast.
He couldn't die. I wouldn't let him. He'd promised.
Magi sat quietly in the corner, watching me, cautiously worried. I didn't care. Tears were brimming up around my eyes but I didn't bother to wipe them away. They fell silently on my blue dress.
Anxious, I looked out my window for the millionth time. The Chicago streets were busy as usual, not even realizing one of god's angels was on the verge of death. At that a sob almost wrenched it's way out of my throat but I held it back. I had to be strong. For Edward.
I could see the long pebbled roadway from the street light's glow. Flowers lined the large medical infirmary, window lights giving it a warm glow, trying to hide the secret of death it held inside. It was such a dark place in reality.
The horses jerked to a stop and I didn't wait for Jeffery to open the door. I bolted out as soon as there was steady ground beneath me. I grabbed up my dress in my hands and ran towards the door, shoes clattering loudly against the paved walk.
I didn't knock or wait up for Magi, just ran up to the desk. The place was busy, people everywhere, rushing to and fro. There was no one at the front desk. I impatiently pushed back one of my mahogany curls and started down the hallway. I'd have to find him myself. One of the nurses stopped me. "Excuse me, miss. Perhaps I can help you find what you need?"
I stumbled over my words but finally got out what I wanted. "I-I'm looking for Edward Mason. He--he's sick and I have to see him." I brushed away the few leaky tears.
Sorrow was etched in the woman's face. She shook her head. "I'm sorry miss. He's on the second floor. There are no visitors permitted there." Her pail blue eyes looked up at mine in sympathy.
"No," I whispered. They wouldn't let people with the influenza have visitors. Edward couldn't have that. It killed people! I lurched around the woman. There was no way I was going to let her stop me. I would see Edward! I ignored her protests and fled up the wood steps, holding my dress up from my clumsy toes. I couldn't risk hurting myself now.
Thankfully, the second floor was smaller, only a few rooms. The tears were getting thicker as I looked in each room, eyes flashing over every face. None held the green eyes I was searching for. The last room--the fullest, six beds crammed in--held my angel.
I gasped at his face. It was pail, sweat thick on his brow, matting his bronze red hair to his skin. The skin around his eyes was red and puffy, closed. I rushed to his side, dress brushing with a soft swoosh.
I was afraid to touch him. Would it hurt him? My lips were trembling, on the edge of sobbing. "Edward?" I whispered, voice thick with tears. There was no movement, his chest hardly moving as it was.
Loud voices passed outside my door but no one entered and I let out a sigh, turning back to Edward. I nearly jumped. His large green eyes, so deep and lush, were watching me. "Edward," I murmured, tears now running down my face.
His fragile hand quivered up an inch and I quickly took it in mine. It was burning hot but I grasped it as tight as I dared, savoring the feeling of his in mine. "You came for me," He wheezed, voice hardly even a whisper.
I nodded, biting down on my lips so not to sob. "I'll always come for you." My voice was hardly recognizable over the tears and pain. "Edward. Edward, you can't leave me here. I can't live without you; you know that." I stroked his fiery cheek with my other hand, body shaking with the held in tears.
"I'm sorry, love. I didn't mean to; you know that." He repeated with a small smile. It seemed to pain him somehow. "Isabella Marie Swan," He mustered, a strange glint entering his eyes. "Will you do me the honors of marring me?"
This was too much. We both knew he wasn't going to make it out of this alive. I started sobbing, tears rushing down like a river. My head was handing, hair falling with the tears, mixed. "Yes, Edward, I'll marry you." I finally managed, looking up at his glowing green eyes that I loved so much.
He smiling wide now, not even wincing. "Splendid. Who should we invite? Not the Finches, of course."
I laughed around my sobs. The Finches were crabby old neighbors that we used to spy on when we were younger and could play around freely. It was what Edward had been aiming for, laughing in a airy out of breath way.
"No," I murmured, "Not the Finches. It can't be big. You know how I hate big events." I was picturing it, how everything would've worked out if so much hadn't happened.
"Ahhh," He agreed. "Of course not. A nighttime wedding though, with candles to illuminate your beautiful skin." One of his trembling hands reached out and cupped my face. I leaned into it, holding it firm with the hand that had been running across his skin.
He sighed, closing his eyes for a second. My heart tripped. "Edward, I can't do this. Can't I die with you, meet you at heaven's gates?"
The green eyes resurfaces, sorrow and pain blaring out. "I'm so sorry, my angel. I never meant to hurt you. I love you more then the world right now. I will forever. Even death can't change that. Nothing can."
My tears ran across my cheek and into his hand. "I know. It's not your fault. I love you. Even when you're gone and this world has lost it's light without you, I will with the wholeness of my body and soul."
I closed my eyes against the feel of his skin. The hand in mine relaxed slowly, slipping out of mine. My wail of agony filled the room as several doctors entered the room, pushing me aside. I protested, trying to get back to my angel. "No! He's mine! You can't take him!" I screamed, two doctors pulling me back. I thrashed against them, yanking and kicking at whatever surface I could find.
Despite my screaming, aside from my loud protests, the softest of whispers reached my ears, so faint and quiet I wasn't sure I'd heard right.
"I love you, my angel," It whispered before I sunk into darkness.

52 weeks - Biggest achievement in research
In April of this year, the 3rd to be exact, my wife handed me a sheaf of letters written from her favourite Uncle (Harold R Gibson) to her favourite Aunt (Julia Daisy Paterson) whilst on his way to the First World War from New Zealand to England. I did not know to that point that these letters existed. The letters began with him going in to army camp in Wellington, his travels on the troopship convoy overseas and his arrival and stay in and around London. The letters were brown with age, creased and crumpled and all written in ink. Unfortunately her replies were thrown out years ago after they were accidentally water-damaged. I made the pledge to try and transcribe these 42 letters into a readable form for her family and so began the task of laboriously going through each one and typing them into an Open Office format. Each letter had to be exact in every detail down to commas, fullstops, paragraphs, sentences, all exactly as he wrote them. Thus began one of the most wonderful journeys of my life. Actually being with Harold on his daily work as a Doctor on board a troopship, learning of his life, his ambitions, his dreams and his love (he and Daisy were engaged when he left for overseas), seeing through his writings the places he visited, the people he met, the illnesses he attended, the sights and sounds of England and London; these all were a revelation to me. His descriptions of people and places, of customs and prejudices, attitudes etc were amazing from an educated man and Doctor. Additionally, as an officer, he was also a censor on board the ship which allowed him to formulate letters carefully to include everything he wanted to say and yet to avoid any deletions and also to comment on his concerns for having to read and censor other letters from his fellow-soldiers. In one letter, for example, he discusses with his Aunt in Scotland the fact that a large family painting of Robert Paterson ('Old Mortality' in the novel by Sir Walter Scott) had not been seen by anyone in England for many decades. Harold had an idea it ended up in New Zealand but he wasn't sure. As a family in New Zealand we know that the fully-restored painting hangs pride-of-place above the mantlepiece of a son in Auckland. If only the Aunt and Harold had known. Through comments like this we all learned a lot about family social involvements and social attitudes of the early 20th century.
Coincidently, I began typing on the 3rd April 2012, 95 years to the day from the date of his first letter. I typed his last letter on 20th July. Where he has mentioned people or places that may be of interest I have added references, photos, scripts, texts and information at the end of each letter which gives an immediate insight and history to those items of interest. The end result is a fairly solid document which I had printed and bound and proudly forwarded to selected members of the family, especially those older members who knew the couple through to their deaths in the 1970's and 80's. Many tears flowed in the days following. They all remembered this wonderful couple with great fondness. Even Harold's opening words on letter Number 1, 'My dear Baby-doll' to letter number 27 beginning 'My dear old woman' give an insight to a man of which his family had never considered. Wonderful stuff.
The completed work in book form, 'Letters to Daisy', has been put on to disc and has been submitted, with the originals, to the Alexander Turnbull National Library in Wellington for safe-keeping. They were delighted to receive them and the completed work will be included in a special commemorative book the library is producing for the Centenary of the First World War due out next year.
Now, of course, I am extremely proud of the effort put in and the research needed to give as much information as possible that has sent me down many new roads to follow in the research of family history, a lot of which has already proven highly, and unexpectedly, successful.
For anyone with such documents I can thoroughly recommend putting in the effort to transcribe them for future generations to enter in to their own family histories.

MAIN, James Patrick of Edinburgh 1800's
We are searching for birth details of one James Patrick MAIN of Edinburgh born c1802 according to death cert details and other personal papers.
James Patrick's father was one Peter MAIN of Edinburgh. Peter to two wives had two sons, James Patrick and James McNab MAIN. Both the boys were convicted and transported to Tasmania, James Patrick in 1817 on the 'Hibernia', and James McNab on the 'Bengal Merchant' in 1836. Both became successful and Patrick (his chosen and preferred name) was a pioneer of Victoria and is mentioned in many histories, records etc. He also was an applicant for the Terra Incognita Expedition from Victoria to The Gulf. Ultimately the job of leader went to Burke and he chose Wills as his assistant. Neither had any skills whatsoever with men, animals, bushcraft, boatbuilding, army training and so the Expedition failed (a classic story of Australia's history) James Patrick MAIN had every skill required and his application is glowing of his ability to carry out the task of leading 17 men to cross Australia. Only one member survived.
We have every record and detail of their lives in Australia but it is the proof of birth that eludes us.
If anyone can assist we would be eternally grateful.
Looking for NEWMAN in Sanford, Springvale, Maine and in New Hampshire 1800's-1900's
Robert James NEWMAN, born 1836 in 'England' and we believe London. His father, also Robert of London, served at Waterloo as a tailor with the Coldstream Guards. At some point the 'family' left England and Arrived in America. Robert James was placed under the guardianship of one Benjamin Newman (possibly of England and/or New Hampshire and possibly a much older brother) in 1846 through the Court in Sanford, Maine. Benjamin, his wife Betsy, and children - including Robert James - appear in the 1850 census of Sanford Maine. In 1854, aged 18, Robert James sailed away to Australia on the Barque 'Homer' landing there in July 1854. Since then, to the present day, we have a huge file on him but have never been able to prove his birth.,
Please, can anyone help.
Looking for MAIN in Edinburgh b, circa 1802
James Patrick Main born c1802 in Edinburgh, father Peter. Looking for any proof of his birth or anything leading to me finding such proof. JPM was convicted in 1819 of theft and transported to Tasmania on the convict ship 'Hibernia'. He was married in 1826 in Victoria and died in Victoria in 1876. After his arrival in Tasmania I have every detail imaginable on his life and times and descendants but cannot prove his birth in Scotland. His father was born there (again from private papers) and ALL those papers relate to Edinburgh and Scotland. He had a half-brother in one James McNab MAIN who was also transported in the early 1836. He was born in Edinburgh on 11 Marc h 1817 in Edinburgh., married in NSW in 1840 and died in Victoria in 1894. He was transported on the Bengal Merchant.

But for those of you (either singles or groups) who want more than a "typical vacation", who want to actually partake in collecting data for wildlife studies, for those who wish to make the "wild" world a little better while learning about it, for those who want to be part of something bigger, then our Bison Quest Wildlife Internship Week is for you. Join our small group (4 to 8 individuals) and work alongside our biologists on habitat restoration and wildlife studies here on the Reserve. And, after our 3 day work "week", we whisk you off for a complimentary overnight trip to Yellowstone National Park. Check our website for our current Work Week dates.
Here are some of our "projects" that we have ongoing here and we can do any of them that you and your family decide you have time for.
Cavity Nesting Birds: We have numerous cavity nesting birds here on the Reserve, including bluebirds, house wrens, chickadees, tree swallows, and nuthatches, who will use artificial nest boxes. We will visit each box and record the bird species using it, how many young are in the nest, and how far along they are. For those of you who come later in the summer, we will discuss who lived there and look at their nests (the different bird species use different types of nest material in their box), while we clean out and repair the boxes for next year.
Bison Behavioral Studies: Monitoring bison behavior is one of our favorite jobs! We love spending time watching the bison up close - a glass of lemonade in one hand and binoculars in the other with a clipboard on our lap, lounging in the back of a 4x4 under a blue Montana sky- and we call it science ! And for the adventurous kids, we'll sit inside the cage over the water tank to get REALLY close to the bison when they come jostling and grunting to get their drinks! Pay attention to what you see here �"after getting up close and personal with the bison here, you will better understand the behavior that you'll witness in the huge numbers of bison that we will see in Yellowstone National Park.
Small Mammal Studies: Small mammals are, well, just that �" the small furry critters (though many folks might simply call them mice) that are so important to our world for numerous reasons. They serve as an indicator of various habitat types and provide information on the health of those systems, as well as provide a vital food source for our birds of prey and mammalian predators (this little short tailed weasel is just one of the camp residents who depends on the mice in the area for food). We use live trapping and marking as a means of determining small mammal abundance and distribution.
Plant Studies: Don't you just love how biologists call all of the fun things they do, "studies". Lends an air of distinction to having fun with wilderness. We'll take nature hikes and learn about the uses of the plants we see �" both by the animals that live here, as well as what the Native Americans (and you) can use them for. We'll also collect plants (pick flowers), put them in plant presses and make them into herbarium specimens (flatten 'em, dry 'em and put them in a scrapbook for you to take home with you). Plants are a fascinating part of any ecosystem, and understanding them will go a long way to helping you understand the wild world around you.
Habitat Manipulation: We have numerous projects underway to improve, and/or protect, wildlife habitat for those who want to do something really physical. Some of these include:
• Aspen enclosures: Aspen is an important wildlife tree, so we are fencing around groves of aspen to protect the small trees from the bison (they just love to use their horns to level the little guys). The fences are simple "jack leg" fences that are super easy, and quite fun, to put up.
• Elimination of invasive non-native plants (weeds): We are monitoring various methods of trying to eliminate weeds which are invading the high mountain country and replacing native plant species. This involves some physical manipulation (pulling the obnoxious things up by the roots or cutting them off below root line, etc). Then, using GPS, we keep track of which methods are the most effective.
• Piling slash and old deadfall to be burned during periods of wet weather to reduce fuel levels to prevent catastrophic wild fire. If we're lucky enough to have some wet weather, we just love to do some big bonfires.
Kid Specials: Okay �" these are supposed to be for the kids, but we find that the grown-ups usually can't stand being on the sidelines.
• Drum Making: We were taught by an Assiniboine medicine man, and we are honored to be able to share that drum making craft with those interested. There is something haunting about drums �" perhaps they take us into the past when our own ancestors used them to summon the spirit world.
• Play with paint: If you like to get "gooey", we'll play around with paint and Native American designs. You can paint your own medicine bag, or help us decorate the tipis.
• Speaking of medicine bags �" each kid gets to make their own.
• Stargazing: It's hard to ignore the stars when the night skies here at 6000 feet in the mountains are just dripping with them. We'll take a night time sojourn where the only lights you're going so see, are those that you can see through a telescope aimed at the heavens
• Hot tubbing: Ok, it's not like the "hot tubs" you'll find at some luxury resort. Here it's a rustic wood fired "hot tub" unlike anything you've ever seen before. But just how we do it is a secret until you get here!
• Dutch oven cooking: We've always been surprised at how many of our younger guests are fascinated by the Dutch oven. Don't know what that is? Well, we've come up with a couple of simple yummy dessert recipes that the kids can whip up while learning just what this "pot" is and why it's been used for 200 years in the American West.
• And, of course, there is the campfire. Sometimes outside, sometimes in the tipi, but it's hard to let a night go by without one. We may sing around it, roast s'mores over it, or just watch the flames dance to the haunting sounds of the drums (you can count on the kids to get out those newly made drums). Serenaded by coyotes and mama buffalo grunting to their calves - it just doesn't get any better than this.
Day 4: Saddle (or Hike) Up! For those so inclined, we can saddle up to head high up into the Big Belt Mountains, meandering through meadows and under the forest canopy. When everyone is ready to get off and stretch out those saddle kinks, we gather around some bountiful picnic lunches (for any of you who choose not to accompany us on horseback, you can hitch a ride with the ranch truck when it brings us our picnic lunch. And you won't even be stiff from sitting in a saddle all morning!) Or, if you'd rather not sit on a horse, we have some lovely (and very easy) hikes (we drive part of the way) that take us to an overlook point where we can see numerous mountain ranges surrounding us. And when we return to camp, we can fire up the hot tub for a long relaxing soak under the stars. What better way to work out muscles that have been on the back of a horse or hiking!
Day 5 & 6: A land of enchantment and wonder, and the most famous Park in the world �" we're in love with Yellowstone National Park and think you will be too. Determined to show you as much of our beautiful state as we can while you are here, we will drive through the aptly named Paradise Valley at the foot of the Beartooth/Absaroka Wilderness and into Yellowstone through her northern boundary. We'll stop and take a look at the fascinating terraces in Mammoth, enjoy a picnic lunch then continue on to the spectacular Upper and Lower Falls in the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone River. Our schedule in the Park can be varied depending on what you and your group would most like to see. Wildlife watching means we get up early and look for grizzly bears and other wildlife before moving on to Old Faithful and the Geyser Basins. We'll take some time to wander through the bubbling mud pots and spitting geysers, and then exit through West Yellowstone on the west.
Sauna Experience Native American Style
Bison Quest camp also features a traditional native American sweat lodge and you are invited to experience its ancient purification rites. Although we will share with you some of the traditions used by Native Americans here in Montana, the sweat will be uniquely yours.
We are not gourmet cooks and you're not going to find fancy French meals or elaborate sauces whipped up to cover your food here on the Reserve. You can find those things in any big city. We make the kind of meals one eats on a western ranch. Simple, natural, wholesome, healthy, and scrumptious. We've never seen anyone turn their nose up at our food!
Your first meal will probably be a Dutch oven "buffalo" roast with organic vegetables and homemade breads. We have a variety of foods available (one of our questionnaires will be about your food preferences), but for those of you who like beef, you're going to love bison. It's a little sweeter than beef (with a lot less fat, calories, and cholesterol) and the roasts just melt in your mouth. Of course, we have other options for those who wish them.
Special Dietary Needs
If you have personal needs and/or allergies, feel free to contact us. We are always open to learning about new ways of cooking that cater to your personal experience. We will do our best to accommodate any special dietary needs you have (food allergies, vegetarian, vegan, kosher, etc). All we ask is that you work with us to make sure that all of your needs are met. Additional fees may apply if we need to purchase unusual food items.
The rates for the Bison and Wildlife Adventure Vacation depends upon the number of people in your group and the number of days you will be our guests. Check the RateCard or our website for more detailed pricing information.
A percentage of your Bison Quest Package deposit will be donated to benefit students at Fort Belknap Community College on the Fort Belknap Assiniboine and Gros Ventre Reservation.

Well, this post is really about the past 18 months in web. What's happened since we launched our site?
As posted earlier, our site aims to engage audiences in a two-way conversation, while allowing staff to take control over their own content. So how have we fared?
From June 2009 to December 2010 I can report as follows:
Staff uptake
User stats
Just a note about the stats: In terms of visits we have switched to reporting using Google Analytics. We do use another tracker but I think that Google (even with its limitations) is the standard these days so I have chosen to use those figures in this post.
I'd like to take the opportunity to thank the current Australian Museum webteam (Russ Weakley and Jen Cork), as well as former staff members Brooke Carson-Ewart, Ondine Evans, Helen Skewes, Helen Wheeler, Renae Mason and Lisa Miller for their amazing efforts. Museum staff should be commended too as they take to the CMS with enthusiasm and attend our Thursday morning web clinics eager to contribute – keep up the good work folks!
Nice post about Google Analytics with a set of useful links, via the AEA blog: Juan Paulo Ramirez on Uising Google Analytics.
We've also just noticed that in December visits from mobile devices increased by 1,000. Another interesting stat is that over 4,000 visits were referred by Facebook! We're having a play to see if we can actually see where from but it's proving a bit hard to find out.

Malaysia's hotly contested elections....
Here's a Malaysian opposition candidate promising the people free education all the way to university, cheap patrol, money for those over 60 and many other goodies.
Najib himself had already implemented free outpatient healthcare for the elderly, free health screening and welfare programs for the poor. To get re-elected, it was reported he had to 'copy' parts of the opposition manifesto so that he would not lose out in the 'goodies for votes' game.
All this highlight one often mentioned problem with democracy. In order to get elected, politicians make all sorts of promises that cost the country billions. Once they start handing out goodies, the country start to have budget deficits, borrow from international lenders and end up like Greece and Spain. This however is just one side of the story - that dire outcomes are linked to giving too much to the people is just one interpretation of the story...convenient interpretation for those who are against social safety nets. Spain's problems are caused by the govt bailing out banks after its property bubble not welfare. Greece's problem is messier - it ran a bloated govt sector and the govt cheated on the budget accounting with the help of Goldman Sachs.
So what is going to happen to Malaysia if the opposition wins and start its free education program. Will it go bust? According to the politician in the video, under the steady hand of the opposition, the state of Penang tripled the reserves in 5 years by running the place more efficiently and getting rid of corruption....all of the opposition controlled states have healthy finances.
In Singapore, for some reason, Singaporeans think of free education as a bad idea. But free education has existed in many countries like Germany for a very long time. Without going through the maths, we have been led to believe that something given out free is just not sustainable and will strain the govt finances. The strange thing about Singapore is the govt happily provide free university education through scholarships to many foreigners but insists on reducing the subsidy for own citizens by hiking tuition fees every few years.
But lets go through the maths to see how much is needed to make university education completely free in Singapore. Every year about 30% of a cohort enter university - roughly 12,000 students. On average they pay something like $8K in tuition fees [Link]and each university course is 3-4 years. So making university education completely free will cost the govt roughly 12,000 x 8000 x 3,5 = $336M more in its budget. The total amount is about 2-3% of our defense budget or 0.6% of our total budget. To put things in perspective the 2012 increase in defense budget was by $504M [Link]to $12.24B - there is no urgency to increase our defense budget which is already far in excess of what is needed to defend Singapore but they chose to do it over something else for the citizens. What I'm getting at is the issue of free university education has little to do with financial prudence and more to do with ideology - they refuse to do it not because the money is not there but they prefer to do something else with the money.
The Malaysian stoy is far more complex and intriguing. Under the Najib administration, Malaysia has a debt to GDP of 52% - making it the most indebted nation in South East Asia. All these promises the opposition has made to the people on the surface appear to be populist and designed to win votes. However, there is another dimension to this. The spending is only possible if they can get rid of corruption and unlock the billions lost in govt contracts and crony capitalism. In other words, the promises made can only be fulfilled if the opposition runs a clean govt and stay away from practices that has hindered progress in Malaysia.
Here is Anwar explaining his vision with great clarity and charisma.
For Malaysians it a choice between maintaining the status quo which they are familiar with or taking a chance with a new govt. The power structure in the ruling party makes it hard to rid itself of corruption because corruption ad cronyism has become entrenched. Taking a chance with the PR coalition involve risking your future with an new govt without experience. The opposition has chalked up a decent track record in 5 states that they won in the 2008 elections and shown that they can get things done. For the Malaysia voter, the only way ahead and the only way to get real progress is to dismantle the existing power structure which is riddled with corruption ...but that cannot be done without taking some risk with a new govt....
80 comments:
The Malaysian opposition is much stronger than the Singapore opposition.
And the Malaysian opposition has only 3 parties, DAP, PKR and PAS. And all can win seats with more than 1/3 majority and also control state governments.
In contrast, the Singapore opposition is not only weaker, but also has so many parties, WP, SDP, NSP, SPP, RP, DPP, SF, SJP etc etc.
And only WP can win seats in elections. And won only 7% of the seats!
That's why there is much less risk changing government in Malaysia than in Singapore.
And the smart 60% Sinkies who voted PAP, including some unhappy with PAP, knows this.

Malaysia is so big and diverse. Even just KL and its suburbs alone is as big and as populated as Singapore.
Singapore is so small and also quite homogeneous. Everywhere HDB flats but no kampong.
Yet the Malaysian opposition is so much stronger than the Singapore opposition.
Something is seriously wrong with Singapore opposition, or rather politics, tio bo?

University education should not be free because
(1) Not every student makes it or want to make it to university.
(2) The higher education is a personal investment which in most cases is recouped by higher paying jobs.
IMO the money can be better spent elsewhere.

Just to clarify on the Malaysian govt debt that has been widely exaggerated.
A Malaysian economist blogger has helped to explain the 52% debt.
The debt is mostly domestic, Malaysia onky owes foreigners RM17 billion only.
The 55% target is an internal target and not like the US where it is set by congress. For a country that gets ill credited, the govt have good fiscak discipline, they actually plan how much they spend every year in its five year plan economic cycle.
Meanwhile Australia overspent 12 billiob dollads becwuse they thought the mining boom would bri gin more dough this year, it didnt.
Credits due, the Malaysian govt has an efficient economy with many untapped potential.
Najib Razak has its Economic Tranformation Plan on how to improve Malaysia in 51 national economic areas..what that is includes education, dismantling red tape including combatting corruption.
Yes, im a Barisan nasional suppiorter, why, becaause Barisan Nasional Najib Razak has a good plan and Id like to make Najib be accountable to it, if not bye bye in PRU14.
As for the opposition, their populist manifesti is bizarre and and while their aspirations are emotionally charged to topple Bn,in the end,do you expect an islamist party, a Chinese dominated Secular Party and a Party by a former BN Deputy PM can lead?we will find out if they do get the chance.
- 4/5/13 21:23
I think you missed out on our Government's indebtness in a BIG GRAND WAY and went across cause-way.
Our debt as a percentage of GDP stands at 97.9% or more, depending on which article you want to base your faith upon !
Only concerning point is that this money came out of our CPF (aka. Central Ponzi Fund) and when the cows go home, they leave with our money........
Allah praises 60.1% who voted these morons in white to create the paradise on this miserable planet.....

As proven in the several past GEs, PAP's votes continue to go down and you can bet both your ma's and grandma's underwears fewer than 60% will vote PAP in 2016, tio bo?
2001: 75%-25%
2006: 67%-33%

2016: ???

If there is money and power, there will be corruption and cronyism.
And which country there is no existence of money and power?
It is just a matter of form, substance and magnitude.
And in some places, it is even legitimised! Meaning legally OK but morally wrong and as long as the government don't get voted out.

- 5/5/13 06:39
you are wrong: singapore debt to GDP is more than 100%.

- Lye Khuen Way said...
Coming back to S'pore, our "coverment" has all along held the beliefs that University education must be restricted, calibrated and freebies are no-no.
If we have extra money, giving help to the aged, sick must be calibrated via mean testing and various hurdles.
Of course, I for one am now more worried, when evidently we have year after year of budget surpluses in tens of billions by IMF standard but our CPF drawdown age seem to shift later.
- 5/5/13 07:52
Lucky, goog post. I never realized that it cost relatively little for free uni education here. It breaks my heart to hear cases of fresh graduates earning pathetic pay to pay off their loans when started then face the big vacuum cleaner of hdb for next 30 years
- 5/5/13 08:26
Free uni education or not, I think it is not so much an issue of money for the government.
It is more a matter of who the government thinks better deserve the money in order to get better returns. Foreign talents or ordinary Sinkies?
This is the reason why government give lots of scholarships to foreigners instead of Sinkies.
Simply because the government thinks Sinkies, including those who serve NS, don't deserve the money because the returns are not as good as compared to foreign talents.
It is like investment or buying a product. You want to get the best return or value for the money.
Even if it is taxpayers, Sinkies, or other people's money, tio bo?
- 5/5/13 09:27
Worker party has shown that they are capable to manage GRC, even if they are outsourcing it to agents like PAP.
- 5/5/13 10:09
You mean the good returns of having those foreign scholars call us dogs after sponsoring their education here?
- 5/5/13 10:10
Many foreigners come here take study grants with condition that they work here for three years. In a way, we are sponsoring them and landlords and business owners are reaping the returns in the expense of local graduates who have to settle for lower pay to compete with them. This is a devious scheme by PAP govt.
- 5/5/13 10:15
It is true lah, it is at the expense of the ordinary Sinkies who lose out, and sometimes lose out a lot, especially those who served NS.
So blame themselves for being ordinary and not talented lah, unlike the Keechiu Chan who is talented to win scholarships and also become minister.
But even if they lose out, unhappy or even vote opposition, their numbers are only 40% and less in 2011.
So why should 2016 be any different?
So PAP can continue to make them lose out some more lah.
If I were PAP, I would have done the same also.

- 5/5/13 16:00
So long as those negatively affected by ruling party policies stayed below 49%, there will not be any major changes in the government. Expect more screwing.
- 5/5/13 16:02
I doubt the PAP or BN are truly anti-freebies. They give themselves lots and lots of freebies, big salaries, full-CPF plus pensions (until it became too indefensible). Painting the PAP vs Alternative Parties as right vs left is incorrect. The PAP is far from being "right" like the GoP, it believes in big government (unlike the tea party and Reaganomics). While it is pro-business and gives generous tax cuts to companies and the rich and believes in a regressive GST tax, it is pro-immigration and ant-Singaporeans (except their own cronies). One can go on and on on incoherence in PAP's policies. It is not necessary to box PAP into an anti-freebies right wing party, just like Suharto and Mahathir do not fit into any political ideology except one: pro-cronysim.

What do I have to lose?
My job?
Already lost to Foreign Talent.
My National Service obligations?
I gladly will like to lose it to the Foreign talents.
My "subsidized" HDB flat?
But the HDB flat already belongs to HDB. It never belonged to me in the first place.
My first class public transport system?
But how much worse can it get under an Opposition gahmen?
My CPF money?
I've never been able to touch any in the first place.
My Singapore Reserves?
Isn't that already invested in loss making foreign banks?
So fellow Singaporeans.
What do I lose by voting Opposition in GE 2016?

I wonder why people keep bringing this up to show their ignorance.
Singapore's borrowing is also to develop the Govt Securities market. Net debt is close to zero. Whereas Malaysia's borrowing is for consumption and wastage.
Even the CIA saw fit to put in the footnote.
OTOH, MY's debt include loans raised externally and bonds and notes issued overseas. This figure excludes debt issued by non-financial public enterprises and guaranteed by the federal government, which was an additional $47.7 billion in 2012.
SG's external debt = US$24.6bn; reserves = US$259.3bn.
MY's external debt = US$95.55bn; reserves = US$140.4bn.

That means BN won only 48% of the total valid votes!
Yet BN won 133 seats while Pakatan won only 89 seats out of total 122 seats!
Their electoral system is much better than our GRC system of 93% seats with 60% votes.

For one whole generation, any pupil who scores less than 50% in exam is deemed to have fail the exam in Singapore.
If this pupil is in primary 4 level, he/she would have been streamed to EM3 from primary 5 onward. This pupil would have been labeled with unerasable EM3 marking for life.
This, being one of the most biased educational system, built by PAP's brute force approach through PAP's elite's ideology.
This is the standard that PAP have ingrained onto every Singapore citizen for at least one full generation.
Using this PAP standard, the BN having obtained 5.220 million votes out of total 10.709 million
votes casted, equivalent to achieving 48.7% of the votes casted, should be declared as failing the Malaysia general election 2013. As a failure, the BN should be streamed to EM3 and should be taught with special EM3 curriculum developed by the PAP.
Instead, PAP is so full of encouragement and delightful that it congratulates the BN for achieving such excellent and fantastic result. Now, to the PAP the score of 48.7% is like scoring distinction in the exam.

Can the GRC system also be re-designed so that 48% votes can win 60% seats?

as others local elite and foreigners with financial means locked on to assets early, the hign financial burden makes students slave to their studies over active extra curricular university student life and later to their jobs as they struggle to clear debt and saves.

How do I benefit if I vote PAP?
a. Affordable HDB flats?
b. Affordable cars?
c. Affordable university education?
d. ten students to one teacher in our schools? Or is it more like 40:1?
e. Our school system so good, no need to hire private tutors?
f. elderly care so good, I no need to hire maid to look after my parents?

Mudland does not have the GRC system, but something similar with similar impact. Instead of multiple constituencies in a GRC, what the Mudland did was to lumped all the opposition wards into 1 huge constituency. Hence even if the opposition win, it will win 1 ward instead of 4 to 6 wards. You can see this by the fact that opposition wards typically have 4 to 6 times the number of voters.

See how self centered people cleverly craft their letter(one of many)
More affordable COEs can help seniors live independently
"The dilemma of an older person owning a car" (May 4) is one that affects many of us. I am 84 years old and my wife is nearly 80. I am disabled, and my wife also has mobility problems.
I have a motorised wheelchair, but it is very difficult to use in many buildings or when crossing roads, and my disability prevents me from travelling by bus or train. Taxis have gotten more expensive, and in any case, there hardly is one when you need it.
So, we require a car for our grocery shopping and our many appointments at the hospital, the doctor's or the dentist's. My car has clocked only about 50,000 kilometres.
Current Certificate of Entitlement prices make ownership of a new car out of the question, so what will we do when our COE expires in three years' time? Having retired years ago, and living on our savings all this time, no one is going to give us a loan.
So, we are in a quandary. We want to continue living an independent life, but circumstances will probably not allow this.
As the letter writer asks, can an appropriate law be enacted to assist people like us?

"Intra-ethnic inequality is startlingly high. There has been a lot of disproportionate access (to economic privileges) by the few," Meredith Weiss, an associate professor at the State University of New York, told the Financial Times in remarks published yesterday.
"The underlining trend seems to be that interests are defined now by socio-economic class rather than ethnicity."
While Chinese votes clearly swung to the Opposition in greater numbers than ever before, the PR's securing of the popular vote suggests that the Malay vote swing would be potentially more alarming.
While Chinese votes clearly swung to the Opposition in greater numbers than ever before, the PR's securing of the popular vote suggests that the Malay vote swing would be potentially more alarming.
But while he has taken credit for Malaysia's economic growth, the country is no longer the country Dr Mahathir may have known.
It is a changed country, moving away from racial divisions to one of class and wealth divides.

Singapore should be just 1 super GRC with 87 seats.
Therefore to contest, a political party must have 87 candidates nominated under one party.

Because any opposite parties govt they are amost the same standard, so to bring those lest have the financial means to study to the highest level is important, so the Nordic leader don't ask for the maximum benefit from the people, which their leader dun place so much emphasis in getting the highest pay? When a leader overemphasis on pay to run it something wrong?

BookPushers.com, Sketchoholic, and Mad Artist Publishing are giving stephen a chance to turn stephen's portfolio into an awesome published book for free. The book will be beautiful, a perfect bound specimen in full color stock bright matte (not photographic) paper and a shiny gloss cover. Just as all the Trade Edition Paperback books at MadArtistPublishing bookstore.
Before the book is made, you need to help PUSH TO SHELF and as a thank you stephen will add your full name in the acknowledgement section of the printed book. Make sure you pre-order the book when you PUSH IT as we will have a limited number of copies available. You can also nominate which images should make it into the book, giving you that extra input.
If you don't see PUSH TO SHELF button and believe stephen images are good enough for a book, Send stephen message to tell them to MAKE THE BOOK.
You also can have your own book made by us, add minimum of 15 images and get your friends to start pushing your portfolio. If you can get your friends to push your book, we will make and publis it for you. So Share away and let's spread great art around the world.

This thermostat works amazing! I love hypertech! I'm going to get the programmer here before too long..it's a little pricey! The only bad thing I encountered was when the thermostat came. I am 16 years old and can probably tell you more than the big 3 about engines..hence why they are bankrupt..anyways' when I went to go sign for it you have to be 21 or older. I have a serious problem with that. My mom was forced to leave work early just to get a thermostat. Other than this it's a great product!
