Sorry, I did mean to put up a translation. I'm not 100% sure of this, but it should be close enough to get the idea:
via Google Translate:
"Alphorn playing Aufmberg everyone does. But in the night park Paul ...? The reverberant acoustics hammermäßig demanded simply for an encore :-)
Spontaneous Session of sideman after the performance of jumpers & Preuss in Paul Theatre in Straubing. And for all those who believe, you could not beat this, yet there a second part with NEM equally unusual wind instrument ...
Filmed just as spontaneously, "quick & dirty" without camera rig out of hand - therefore please partly something hanging focusing to apologize"

A bit of a drought in the (south-)eastern part of the country, they say. A city in Bavaria reached a temperature of 40.3°C on Friday, the highest recorded temperature in Germany since 1881. Temperatures within the confines of our concrete jungles (aka cities) have been somewhat unpleasant.
Up north, it's been... dry. And warm. Did I mention dry?
Nothing to bitch about though, everything's still in the green. With some spots of brown sprinkled throughout, wherever the vegetation was scorched...
Do you guys have water issues? Drought

This one deserves more attention than it currently gets, I'd say:
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/economics/11447805/Eurozone-faces-first-regional-bankruptcy-as-debt-debacle-stalks-Austrias-Carinthia.html
Short version: Austrian bank ignores due diligence, does shitload of risky business in Balkans/Eastern Europe, business goes sour, trouble gets magnified by several events, bad bank is created, bad bank is now insolvent, new bail-in rules apply -- murder and mayhem everywhere.
The bank itself has a rather fascinating history of corruption within both Austria and Germany. In fact, it was taken over by a public bank from Bavaria under extremely dubious circumstances, and separated again a few years back under equally dubious circumstances. A whole lot of money laundering for our conservative party went through that bank, I can tell you that much.
Good source of entertainment, that one.
Watch German official squirm when confronted with Greece
You are absolutely right, the results of elections in Greece do not create an obligation for fiscal transfers from other European countries.
But that plays right into what Varoufakis has been saying for years, doesn't it? The program over the last seven years has reduced Greek output by a quarter, and thereby its ability to service and reduce its debt. The troika is offering more loans, loans that cannot be payed back, in return for a further reduction in Greece's ability to pay back those loans in the first place. Extend and pretend, all the way. Nevermind the humanitarian cost or the threat to democracy itself.
It is either counter-productive or aimed at a different goal entirely. Greece wants an end to those loans, and all the loss of sovereignty that comes with it, while the Eurogroup in particular wants to stick to a program that only increased Greece's dependency to a point where they can throw the entire country into unbearable misery at a moment's notice (e.g. cut ELA access).
Take the privatisation demands as an example. The program demands that Greece agrees to sell specific property at a specific price. Both parties are keenly aware that this price cannot be realised during a fire sale, yet they still demand a promise by the Greeks to do so. Any promise would be a lie and everyone knows it.
Same for the demanded specificity of Greece's plans. After decades of nepotism, a fresh government made up entirely of outsiders is supposed to draw up plans of more detail than any previous government came up with. And they cannot even rely on the bureaucracy, given that a great number of people in it are part of the nepotic system they are trying to undo in the first place.
Taxes, same thing. The first king of Greece (1832'ish) was a prince of Bavaria who was accompanied by his own staff of finance experts, and they failed miserably. Greece went through occupation, military junta and decades of nepotism, and the new government is supposed to fix that within months.
Those demands cannot be met. The Greeks know it, the troika knows it, the Eurogroup knows it.
Zizek called it the superego in his recent piece on Syriza/Greece:
"The ongoing EU pressure on Greece to implement austerity measures fits perfectly what psychoanalysis calls the superego. The superego is not an ethical agency proper, but a sadistic agent, which bombards the subject with impossible demands, obscenely enjoying the subject’s failure to comply with them. The paradox of the superego is that, as Freud saw clearly, the more we obey its demands, the more we feel guilty. Imagine a vicious teacher who assigns his pupils impossible tasks, and then sadistically jeers when he sees their anxiety and panic. This is what is so terribly wrong with the EU demands/commands: they do not even give Greece a chance – Greek failure is part of the game."
Aside from all that, the entire continent is in a recession. Not enough demand, not enough investment, unsustainable levels of unemployment. Greece was hit hardest, Greece was hit first. It's not the cause of the problem, it is the canary in the coal mine. And Italy is already looking very shaky...
You can't argue that just because Syriza won, the rest of Europe is obliged to give you more money. What about what the rest of Europe wants, do they not get a vote?
Hello Germany (Travel Talk Post)
If you like movies, you could visit the Bavaria Filmstadt:

There is a guided tour to see several original film sets and props, for example from The Neverending Story and Das Boot, and a '4D Motion Simulation Cinema'.
The Bane of Banned Books
At the time of his suicide, Hitler's official place of residence was in Munich, which led to his entire estate, including all rights to Mein Kampf, changing to the ownership of the state of Bavaria. As per German copyright law, the entire text is scheduled to enter the public domain on January 1, 2016, 70 years after the author's death.[19] The copyright has been relinquished for the Dutch and Swedish editions and some English ones (though not in the US, see below).

In Canada, We have Indigo Books, Indigo Books also runs Chapters bookstores, Coles Books, Worlds Biggest bookstore, Indigospirit, SmithBooks and The Book Company. It's the biggest chain in Canada, practically a monopoly, but not quite. It's our equivalent to Amazon books combined with Barns & Noble in the US, in fact, Amazon even owns stock in the Canadian book chain. It also retains a 57.7% share in Kobo Ink. (968.9 Million in yearly Sales.)
Heather Reisman, Indigo's CEO and owner banned "Mein Kampf" from all the stores. Although not casual reading material, Mein Kampf is required reading in quite a few university and college's. It's an important book for historians and students of history and politics.
You can find critiques of the work in her stores but not the book itself. Heather herself has, admittedly, never read the book. Being Jewish, she sites it as hate literature and doesn't want anyone to see it.
Heather's stance is that she is not Banning the book, she just doesn't carry it. It just so happens she doesn't have any competition. (other than college book stores and few straggling independants)
So my point is, if she is blocking this historical book, which other publications is she blocking? And what can we do, when the book stores filter the books we can see?
Out of curiosity, if someone were to buy Mein Kampf, where does the money go? Who publishes it? Or would it be in the public domain now?

little correction: company is called Bavaria Film, the theme park is called Bavaria Filmstadt and the street adress is Bavariafilmplatz (which translates to something like "Bavaria Film Square").
The Making of the "Jive Talk" Scenes in Airplane
Well, at least in the old world there are various ways: scandinivian countries to my knowledge only use subtitles, france and germany both have very sophisticated Voice over industries. The example above aside it is very hard to spot if a Movie was voiced over in German because the speakers do an incredible Job of matching their words and pronounciation to the lip movements of actors. You actually can make a Good living as Voice over Artist. Especially the voices of Big stars can go into advertising etc (Bruce willis' Voice Guy does that a Lot). Really funny are Voice overs in eastern Europe countries, you can often find Movies where One Single speaker does all the voices without Even trying to make them Sound different :-)

That's really interesting. Would be curious how other languages handled it.>> ^conan:
as you might or might not know: in germany movies don't get subtitles but instead get a voiceover. naturally, this brings along some problems when there's play with languages such as in this case. "Airplane!" is a great example of how translators deal with this.
Have a look: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TEkI0cH_rK4
So what they did is they let the two guys speak in a very thick, bavarian accent. bavaria is a region in south-east germany that's pretty much your cliche germany. beer for breakfast, sausages, huge 34oz beer mugs, castles, bretzel, leather shorts etc. it doesn't get more "german" than bavaria. there's certainly a racist touch to it (at least in my eyes because the "joke" depends on the audiences disbelief / surprise of a black person being a "real" bavarian) but i thought it's a good example of voice over strangenesses.
