Reasons to Lease a Land Rover
- You never have to pay the tax on the entire car, just the part you use. I.e. $12,000 residual saves $1560 in taxes.
- With strong residuals, there is a chance that the car won't be worth what the LEV is pegged at, and that is depreciation the customer doesn't have to pay, because they can walk away. This is especially true of vehicles at the end of their model cycle.
- It allows you the opportunity to re-access your purchase at the 36 or 48 month mark. If you are still happy and the car fits your needs, then exercise the option, or look at something new that starts with a new warranty again.
- In the event that you are in a collision, you won't bear the brunt of additional depreciation caused by disclosure of that accident, again just walk away.
- In most cases you will be out of the car by the time the more expensive services (80,000k) and non-warranty items start to cost you money.
- Versus purchasing, you can afford more car, and the extra cost of more car only costs 50% because the other half is residualized.
Some people are skeptical because they don't understand leasing and they think there are hidden costs, but with full disclosure which is the law, you can see that there are no hidden costs or additional expenses that you aren't aware of.
Anyone will tell you, if it appreciates you should own it, and if it depreciates, you should lease it.

Becky's Sketch
A 10-Photo Sketch
If you're stuck with a lot of photos (how about 10 of them?) and aren't sure how to fit them all on one layout, try out this sketch design!
Retirement by Becky Higgins. Supplies Cardstock: Bazzill Basics Paper; Patterned paper: Scenic Route; Letter stickers and brad: American Crafts; Corner-rounder punch: EK Success; Ink: ColorBox, Clearsnap; Pen: Precision Pens, American Crafts; Font: Gill Sans; Adhesive: Easy-Stick, Duck Products, Henkel Corporation.
Notice how I used a 12" x 6" photo that spanned both pages of my layout instead of using two 6" x 6" photos. See how you can adapt the sketch to make it your own!
Becky's time-saving tip: Let this layout design be a reminder that even just one or two simple elements (a strip of patterned paper or a turned corner) can be all you need to complete a layout. I really appreciate layouts that take less time. Don't you?

Maybe it miraculously still fits from your very first concert, or it's been passed down by your aunt (along with a few insane stories), but you consider your fave band T-shirt as essential as any other wardrobe item.
Take our word, it can be a daunting task to track down the exact shirt from that one specific concert in 1989, but rest assured that even the most current options on the market can still make for a stellar go-to. While Mötley Crüe is no longer as buzzy as Nicki Minaj and we're more likely to hear Major Lazer on a Saturday night than David Bowie, we think these stars of song deserve the love all the same. From the rare and pricey original vintage T-shirts, to the easily accessible and just-as-rad newer versions, we hunted high and low for the coolest band tees to add into your rotation.
Jump ahead to pick out an oldie but goodie, or try out one of the new kids on the
block music scene that will harmoniously blend into your collection.

Award Winning Chocolates and Confections
Handmade in Portland, Ore.
Award Winning Chocolates and Confections
Handmade in Portland, Ore.
A while back I sat down with Chris Angelus and Cort Johnson on their Portland food-centric podcast. "Right at the Fork" to talk with them about chocolate, mezcal, my travels and how I ended up here! Listen here!
David Briggs in the owner and chocolatier of Xocolatl de Davíd in Portland, Oregon. Briggs grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area, save 4 years living in Australia and Singapore, which led to extensive travels through Asia which heavily influenced both David's childhood and culinary interests.
David graduated from the University of Oregon with a degree in Exercise and Movement Science. It was in Eugene that he got his first taste of professional cooking and in 2002, David enrolled at The Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, NY. Upon graduation in 2004 he accepted a job with Scott Dolich at Park Kitchen in Portland, Oregon. He was named Sous Chef in 2007 and worked with Dolich until March of 2009.
David started Xocolatl de Davíd informally, and unintentionally, in 2005 while just "playing around with chocolate." Over the next four years he honed his skills in chocolate and confections pairing savory and sweet elements with the varying flavor profiles of the chocolates he sources from South and Central America. His single origin chocolate comes from sustainable and fair trade sources and Briggs prefers to use only bittersweet varieties no lower than 68%. Briggs works with local farmers as well as specialty producers from around the world to attain the highest quality ingredients for each product he creates.
While the focus is certainly chocolate, David's confections stand out due to his careful selection of unconventional ingredients. He was one of the first of his trade to pair bacon with chocolate and the pairing was so successful he has gone on to using other pork products such as the famed Iberico de Bellota. Briggs' most prized accomplishment is his Foietella, a chocolate spread using Foie Gras which he also tempers into a bar. Other coveted bars are his Parmigiano-Reggiano Bar, Olive Oil Bar, Brown Butter Bar, and Almond Pimenton Bar. Among his top sellers is the Raleigh Bar, his take on the classic candy bar using nougat, caramel and nuts. David has been featured in Bon Appetit, Cooking Light, The Wall Street Journal, San Francisco Chronicle, Sunset & MIX, to name a few. He won a Good Food Award for his Salted Caramel Bar in 2011, and his Brown Butter and Raleigh Bar in 2014.

The 17 organizations designated as cultural partners on the pledge form for United Arts' Campaign for the Arts mostly beat their goals in the annual spring fund drive. These partner organizations determine their individual goals and then report them to United Arts, which leads the campaign.
The biggest winners this year: The Seminole Cultural Arts Council, which took in $7,364 — a whopping 245 percent over its goal. Orlando Shakespeare Center, with a much bigger budget, collected $319,862, which was 220 percent over its goal. Other groups who more than doubled their goal were the Downtown Arts District ($10,081) and the opera fund managed by the Orlando Philharmonic Orchestra ($159,627).That's certainly a hopeful sign for the future of opera in Central Florida.
Just four groups came up short.
With donations of $116,397, Orlando Museum of Art reached 86 percent of its goal. The Philharmonic's non-opera programming collected $415,634, which was 92 percent of goal.
The Association to Preserve the Eatonville Community, which presents the annual Zora Neale Hurston Festival in Eatonville, hit 95 percent of its target with donations of $14,202. And the Crealde School of Art just missed its goal, reaching 98 percent, with $44,128.
Donors can also designate their funds to other organizations. Among the "write-in" groups, Mad Cow Theatre collected the most, $17,444.
Money not given to a specific group goes into the United Arts Arts for All fund, which is distributed to more than 50 organizations in Orange, Seminole, Lake and Osceola counties. That fund collected $237,846.
Here are the final results for the cultural partners, from United Arts:
• Art & History Museums – Maitland: $29,768 (106%)
• Association to Preserve the Eatonville Community: $14.202 (95%)
• Bach Festival Society: $158,807 (127%)

CALGARY - On Friday night, the historic Victoria Pavilion in Calgary's Stampede Park hosted professional wrestling for the first time in nearly 15 years. A mix of nostalgia, rising stars, and experienced talent blended together to create the best wrestling show in town in recent memory.
If you have been thinking about ordering the Hart Legacy Wrestling iPPV stream tonight at 8 p.m. MST at hartlegacywrestling.com I can say in all honesty that based on the live show it is worth every penny and you will enjoy it. It also means you should come back and read this article tomorrow, as it does contain spoilers.
The Pavilion was near capacity and the energy and anticipation in the crowd was palpable. The show began with one of the voices of wrestling in Alberta for many years, wrestling historian Bob Leonard returning to the Pavilion where he first watched wrestling in 1958. He paid tribute to Alberta wrestling then introduced a number of families of wrestlers such as Bif Wellington, and legends like The Cuban Assassin, �Champagne� Jerry Morrow and Leo Burke. Manager Abu Wizal still had the crowd booing with a mere gesture, and the segment showed that Calgary has not forgotten those that paved the way for Hart Legacy Wrestling. The tribute was capped off with Nomi Whalen, the wife of the Ed Whalen appearing.
The show continued with Teddy Hart and Konnan setting up the show. At this point the talking and lack of matches went on way too long. It didn't lose the crowd, but at nearly an hour before the first match, it sure did drag at times. Future shows won't have the tribute and as much talking, and if this is the only issue the fans had for a first show it is a pretty minor one.
The action finally started with a four-way tag team elimination match in which the last team teams would advance to the main event. Local talents Cam!kaze & Pete Wilson and Hawkes & Ryan Rollins mixed it up with Samuri Del Sol & El Generico and �The Future Endeavors� (Brian Cage and Trent Baretta). Cage had flown in from Orlando after appearing on TNA the night before in the Gut Check challenge, and Baretta was released by WWE just a week ago. Baretta started things early on and went face to face with Generico, who was making his final independent appearance prior to signing with WWE. �You're the guy that took my job?!� Baretta exclaimed before attacking Generico. A non-stop and at times crazy bout saw Cage and Baretta eliminate Hawkes and Rollins, only to be eliminated by Generico and Del Sol.
An angry Ryan Rollins demanded another chance to prove himself, and got it in the next bout teaming with Nikita Naridian to face Johnny Devine & Miss Danyah and Jim �The Anvil� Neidhart & Cat Von Heez in a mixed-tag three team bout. Anvil and Devine looked ecstatic to be back in the Pavilion and the crowd responded loudly to their return. Unfortunately for Rollins, it wasn't enough as Neidhart and Von Heez scored the win.
One of the loudest ovations of the night came when the IWGP Tag Team Champions The Killer Elite Squad made their North American debut as a team. Davey Boy Smith Jr. had a huge grin as he and partner Lance Archer hit the ring for an interview. They were interrupted by Chris Masters and Bobby Lashley. Masters insulted the fans and the Pavilion calling it a dump, and then accepted a challenge for later on.
A 12-man battle royal featured mostly local talents as well as former mainstays from the area during the last relaunch of Stampede Wrestling �Principal� Richard Pound and Wavell Starr. The fans went crazy when the original Jason The Terrible hit the ring, chanting his name as he eliminated several wrestlers and took out Heavy Metal with a chokeslam. He seemed well en route to winning when Abu Wezal returned to the ring and distracted him, allowing Starr to eliminate him. Starr then chose to eliminate himself, giving Heavy Metal the victory. All was revealed as a nefarious plot when The Great Gama entered the ring. Starr surrendered his headdress and was given a turban, as he, Metal and Johnny Devine were incorporated into the new Karachi Vice.
It didn't take long for the tag team match between the Killer Elite Squad and �Team Body Guys� to turn into a brawl. As Archer and Masters brawled at ringside Lashley took control of Smith and locked on a anklelock, which Smith reversed into the sharpshooter. Johnny Devine broke it up, causing referee Wayne Hart to flash a red card and throw out the match. Lance Storm, who was doing commentary at ringside, helped clear the ring and the match restarted as a six-man tag. My personal favourite match of the night saw Storm get worked over by Devine, Masters and Lashley, struggling to make the tag. When he did another brawl broke out and out of the ashes came Smith locking Masters in the sharpshooter for the win.
The only way to describe the main event ten-man tag team match was �crazy.� After scouting all evening, captains Ted Hart and Konnan announced their teams. Konnan brought Jack Evans, who broke in in Calgary and now is a star in AAA in Mexico, tag match winners El Generico and Samuray Del Sol, Trent Baretta and Harry Smith out as his team. Teddy teamed with Flip Kendrick, Cam!kaze, Pete Wilson, and Brian Cage. Held under lucha libre rules, in which if someone left the ring a member of their team could replace them, the bout started with technical wrestling between cousins Smith and Hart, but soon the action was everywhere. Cam!kaze and Smith brawled on the floor in one part of the building while Baretta smashed food trays over the head of Cage, who just hours earlier had been his tag partner. The two brawled with Generico at the top of the stands while other wrestlers fought towards the entrance. When Hart scaled the entrance way to the balcony and moonsaulted onto everyone, the crowd lost its mind. Things continued at a breakneck speed until Hart leapt onto Generico from the top rope and hit a Canadian Destroyer piledriver to score the win for his team.
Clocking in at just over four hours, including the legends tribute, it was a long night but the action kept the crowd into it from the opening bell. Taking advantage of the big spotlight, the talent shined and brought everything they had to make the first show special.
A few observations about the show:

Bashar Assad, the heir apparent to his father, Syrian President Hafez Assad, is due to be appointed Vice President for internal security in his country after the Ba'ath Party names him to its ruling council on June 17, according to Jordanian weekly Al Majid, quoted Wednesday by Haaretz.
Meanwhile, according to Tishrin, the leading Damascus daily, Mohammed Haidar, who was deputy prime minister for economic affairs in the late 1970s and early 1980s, has vanished after a court ordered his arrest on corruption charges. Haidar was stripped of his government job and party posts last year and has not been seen in public in Syria for months.
The anti-corruption campaign led by Bashar is being carried out in a surprisingly public manner in a country where criticism of the regime is rarely allowed, said the Israeli daily, adding the crusade can also be viewed as a purge in preparation for a ruling Ba'ath party conference next month. The June 17 meeting, at which a new party leadership will be chosen, will be the first party congress in 15 years.
On Monday, the government imposed a freeze on the assets and property of Haidar's successor, Salim Yassin, pending the outcome of a corruption inquiry. Yassin was the latest top official to be investigated over corruption after former Prime Minister Mahmoud Zu'bi committed suicide on May 21 after he was accused of corruption, and his assets seized.
Zu'bi had resigned and his Cabinet was dissolved March 7 after he had served as prime minister for more than 12 years – Albawaba.com

As Republican presidential candidates campaign in states with high unemployment rates like Florida, Michigan, and soon, Ohio, it's a fair question to ask what business is doing to us as well as for us. Rising inequality and unemployment above 8 percent have left Americans frustrated, wondering whether capitalism is capable of supplying the jobs we need along with the community concern that we want.
The answer to both is yes. A new economy is emerging, a kind of constructive capitalism that offers an exciting new model for American prosperity and a way out of the current economic morass. Constructive Capitalism is shareable, local, and sustainable. Examples abound.
Let's start with the State Bank of North Dakota. Formed in 1919 during an earlier populist revolt by farmers across the northern plains, it's now the destination for cringing Wall Street bankers eager to discover how it was able to earn record profits during the financial crisis as its private-sector corollaries lost billions. The answer – that the bank invests its deposits in programs designed to spur North Dakota's economy – must come as a shocker to the Wall Street crowd accustomed to investing in what are often planet-killing projects or companies that send jobs overseas.
North Dakota may have America's only state-owned bank, but it is far from being the only community bank to flourish despite the financial crisis. Community banks and credit unions all over the country are growing their market share and doing it in a way that benefits the communities they serve. In just the last few months, more than 650,000 people opened new credit union accounts, depositing some $60 billion.
The recent growth could cause the credit union system to have more than $1 trillion in total assets, according to the Credit Union National Association chief economist Bill Hampel. Investment banks still have important roles to play in the economy, but we can look to more community-based models for economy growth. And big banks may follow suit.
In Cleveland, Ohio, the Evergreen Cooperative, a group of worker-owned green businesses, includes a laundry business that services the big schools and hospitals in the city, a solar installation and energy efficiency company, and a commercial greenhouse that will produce 5-6 million heads of lettuce and 300,000 pounds of herbs each year.
Finally, in Oakland (where I live), there's a company called Sungevity that has helped thousands of people nationwide put solar panels on their roofs at no upfront cost through an innovation called a "solar lease."
Similar to leasing car lease, Sungevity owns the panels and rents them to homeowners at a low monthly rate. Sungevity's customers save money from the day the solar panels are installed, and collectively have saved tens of millions of dollars on their utility bills. Sungevity hired over 200 people in Oakland last year. Solar is the fastest growing industry in America and already employs more than 100,000 men and women, more than US steel production and more than US coal mining.
Surprisingly, even in the partisan gridlock of Washington, the House recently passed the Entrepreneur Access to Capital Act to make it much easier for businesses to raise money. Since the financial meltdown, the traditional means of financing have become inaccessible to most businesses, with banks refusing to lend, credit card interest rates soaring, and private capital unavailable.
This bill creates a legal framework for "Crowdfund Investing" to allow regular Americans to invest small amounts of money to start and grow businesses in their communities. SEC filing and appropriate disclosures would still be required to protect investors. The amount businesses could raise would be capped at $1 million, and individuals would be limited to $10,000 or 10 percent of their adjusted gross income, whichever is lower. The Senate has introduced two similar bills and should pass them quickly.
Americans need all these elements to rebuild their economy and their communities. But most of all, they need to take responsibility for building this new economy from the bottom up. Americans can't afford to wait for the change to come to us; we must proactively be part of it.
The deepest, most profound changes in our country have always come from the people, not from Congress, Wall Street, K Street, or even Pennsylvania Avenue. The metamorphosis from the nation's current fossil-fuel and big-bank dominated economy to a sustainable, broadly shared, and prosperous economy is already underway on Main Streets across America.
If you have an idea for a business that can provide real value to people, it may soon be a lot easier for you to raise the money you need to get it off the ground. If you're still parking your money in a savings account at a big bank earning no interest, take a look at a credit union near you. And if you want healthier and tastier food or to save money by going solar, chances are help is only a few clicks away.

WASHINGTON (TheBlaze/AP) -- The every-four-years ritual of a national "town hall" style debate began as a nerve-racking experiment in live television. Twenty years ago, moderator Carole Simpson was so nervous about turning over the microphone to regular folks and their questions that she spent days mapping out the presidential candidates and their issues on "a zillion 3-by-5 cards," in case she had to take over the questioning herself.
"I was afraid these undecided voters from Richmond, Va., might get into this huge TV studio where they'd be seen by millions of people and they'd just freeze," the former ABC journalist recalls. "I wanted to be prepared."
No need to worry. The voters did fine. That 1992 "town hall" was such a hit that there's been one in every presidential election since.
The sixth, consecutive event will bring President Barack Obama and his Republican rival Mitt Romney to Hofstra University on New York's Long Island Tuesday night to take questions from undecided voters selected by the Gallup polling company.
Debate coach Brett O'Donnell, who worked with John McCain in 2008 and Romney during this year's primaries, says: "This is the one debate that belongs to the people."
It can be a tricky one for the candidates.
Obama, especially, needs a forceful showing to recover from his leaden performance in the campaign's first debate. But he must tread carefully in an atmosphere more suitable for share-your-pain moments than aggressive attacks -- a tough balancing act, considering the current political schema.
"You can't have this sort of all-out slugfest at a town hall debate," O'Donnell said, so don't expect the fireworks of last week's Joe Biden-Paul Ryan vice presidential match.
Viewers want the candidates to show respect for those voters in the room, who stand in proxy for all Americans.
"You've got to connect with the person who's asking the question -- look them in the eye," said Robert Denton Jr., head of the Communications Department at Virginia Tech. "It's about empathy and connection."
Romney comes to the arena strengthened by his first debate. And the people-first format gives him a unique chance to overcome a persistent weakness: suspicion among some voters that he's too wealthy to relate to the middle class and the poor. But if Romney fails to engage with his questioners, he could reinforce that impression.
That's what happened to President George H.W. Bush in the first televised town hall debate, a low moment in a failed bid for re-election. That 1992 event at the University of Richmond stands unmatched as an example of the format's risks and rewards.
Bush was thrown by a woman's oddly worded question: How had the national debt personally affected the candidates? He stumbled through a meandering response, asked the woman to clarify and ended up sounding irritated and a bit argumentative: "Are you suggesting that if somebody has means the national debt doesn't affect them?"
Even worse, just as she began her question, TV cameras caught Bush checking his watch.
That gesture would be replayed over and again as evidence that the president was indifferent and out of touch. "I took a huge hit," Bush said years later.
When Democratic challenger Bill Clinton got his shot at the same question, he set the standard for town hall emoting.
Clinton crossed the stage to stand before the woman, locked her in his gaze, and recounted the economic pain he'd personally witnessed as governor of Arkansas. "He just burst through the TV set," Simpson recalls.
How did that town hall come about? Not surprisingly, Bush had resisted the risky new idea. But Clinton pushed it in negotiations with Bush and the Commission on Presidential Debates because his campaign thrived on town hall-style events.
"It's the flesh and blood of America, so I love those things," Clinton later told Jim Lehrer of PBS. "And I loved that one."
Bush told Lehrer he hated debates, period.
Because candidates are free to walk about, town halls are body-language danger zones.
In 2000, Al Gore was ridiculed for striding unnaturally close to George W. Bush as his rival spoke. Bush deflected Gore with a surprised look and curt nod, to audience laughter. In 2008, comedians emphasized McCain's age by ridiculing the way he seemed to wander aimlessly about the stage while Obama talked.
Then there are the questions. They tend to be broader and more straightforward than those posed by the old-style panels of journalists or the single moderators favored more recently. But they can be unpredictable. And while debaters often ignore reporters' questions and veer off to some other talking point instead, it's less acceptable to treat a citizen's question that way.
In 2004, President George W. Bush took heat for failing to come up with a single mistake when a woman asked him to describe three wrong decisions and how he fixed them.
Town halls have lost some of their spontaneity. The 80 or so undecided voters chosen for Tuesday's event must submit their questions in advance and moderator Candy Crowley of CNN will decide which people to call on. She can pose her own follow-up questions (although some debate has surrounded how much flexibility she has in this area and both presidential campaigns are reportedly protesting this notion).
In 1992, questions weren't screened in advance. Simpson walked through the audience Oprah-style and a producer signaled which person to talk to next, seeking a good demographic mix. She had no idea what the next person might ask.
"They were not the questions the media had been focusing on," said Simpson, who now teaches journalism at Emerson College in Boston. "They were asking about bread-and-butter issues that they were interested in -- the education in their schools, the crime in their neighborhoods, the economy and jobs."
"We're still talking about the same things - the deficit, jobs, outsourcing," she said. "We'll probably hear some of the same subjects Tuesday."

Berardi's examination of Breivik's writings mainly. Breivik sees most of the worlds problems as being connected to the demise of the traditional family and the 'feminization of men'. Essentially he wants a older world, I hear.
I do not know for sure how people feel. Let's get this obvious truism out the way. But, look at the cultural materials these people tend to be smothered by. Hollywood depictions of masculinity, sexist gamer culture and phallonarcissistic heavy rock coupled with the ruse of neo-liberal economics implying to them that they are unique individuals with every right to rise to the top and get the girl if only they try hard and listen to their heart. Much narrative is aimed at framing spree-killers as being somehow 'let down' or being 'alienated' but let down from what? What does this line of narrative assume these people are entitled to?
The personal foci of such narratives can easily lead to assumptions along the lines of seeing them as symptomatic of problems. I'd argue, that if this line has to be pursued then it ought to be regarded as symptomatic of more right-wing and conservative dogmas still existing. Alienated youths are not the casualties of liberalism, they are causalities of toxic social conservatism that still dominates all the softly insidious modes of influence (media yadadada...)
But, even with this last option of emphasis, I feel uncomfortable. I dislike the idea of the privileged (in global terms) being our highlights of the fall-out of either liberalism or neo-conservatism. The woes of anti-social white boys should be the last option for our canary in the cage.
U wot mate?
My thing with these shooters is that I can relate to them to quite a worrying extent. I was an awkward dorkward dickwad of a teenager myself, and I busied myself drawing muscular men with guns in my exercise books and vaguely admiring the Columbine killers for taking down the jocks. (The popular and long debunked narrative of Columbine.)
I never actually harboured fantasies of murdering anyone, of course, but I can relate to this idea of fantasising about prepotence when you're impotent. It's surely of note that a lot of geek culture is, in a sense, highly masculine and fixated on war? Warhammer, Call of Duty... Even Star Wars is full of heroic blokes carving each other up with laser swords. Death Metal has always seemed to me a generally benign outlet for frustrated aggression, and all the metal fans I've ever known have been singularly affable and peaceable fellas.
Not sure what being white and middle class has to do with this, but then I'd have been unaware of what that had to do with my identity generally at that age. Perhaps because it provided me with a different cultural framework for my fantasies?
Of course, back then the current vogue for alt-right/troll/men's rights stuff didn't exist, or at least I wasn't aware of it. Perhaps I'd have been sucked into that if I'd been more isolated? Instead I had 'rap battles' which were typed out on angelfire forums and video games.
Αι ψυχαί οσμώνται καθ΄ Άιδην.
Why are poor people in England always moaning. They got iPhone, sky TV, lager, skunk, air max. People in Ethiopia only eat one grain of rice a day and look at them, always happy and dancing and making the best of things.
Brevik's failed graffiti career as an apposite addendum.
Obviously I can understand not feeling obliged to extend much sympathy towards mass murderers
I read the book about Breivik, 'One of Us'. It connected the general social/political conditions of Norway during his life to his actions (e.g. the revolt against feminism and immigration/Islam), but it was also about a man who seemingly never managed to make any really significant friendships or relationships work, who was shunned and ridiculed within the graffiti community, then the online Warcraft community, even within the radical right wing. It is actually a rather sad book (and that includes, of course, the fate of his innocent victims) - perhaps you'd like it luka?
The point of this was that yes there were social forces at play, including that Breivik probably felt entitled to things as a relatively affluent white man in that society, but also that he was somebody with significant mental health issues and character flaws which went untreated. White supremacy, like World of Warcraft, gave him something to feel superior about.
ANYWAY, perhaps this has derailed things away from a discussion of the nerd in political form. I can see Shkreli massacring a classroom of colleagues if he'd never made a success of his business ventures.

Αι ψυχαί οσμώνται καθ΄ Άιδην.
Consider: what you might call economic or right-liberalism, or alternatively neoliberalism, insists on the illusion of meritocracy, so that the successful deserve to be successful, and conversely, if you're dissatisfied with your life, you've no-one to blame but yourself. You're either not trying hard enough, or you're just not clever and resourceful enough, or both. Meanwhile social or left-liberalism is forever demanding that white guys check their privilege, and acknowledge that whatever problems they may have, they're nothing compared to racism, misogyny and so on. So now our furious, lonely basement-dweller feels like he's being made to feel bad for feeling bad about himself! And of course, the doctrine of privilege and disprivilege is essentially true: being white, this guy isn't going to get shot dead by a cop for basically no reason; being male, he isn't getting barraged with abuse by strangers if he ever ventures online outside of a secure group of close friends, and he's vastly less at risk of actual sexual assault. He's not going to get spat or yelled at for being visibly non-Christian. He's more likely to get any given job he goes for but it by no means guarantees he has a job, or a worthwhile job. It certainly doesn't guarantee him a hot girlfriend, or any girlfriend, or a solid group of friends or a decent family life. So if he lacks some or all of these things, he feels even more of a failure. Perhaps there's an unwitting confluence of social conservatism here (he feels it's his right to earn loads of money and get hot chicks, because that's just how it ought to be - and perhaps was, for his dad/uncles/grandfathers) and social liberalism (he feels even worse about his lack of achievement because, really, there's less standing in his way than the majority of other people).

Doin' the Lambeth Warp New: DISSENSUS - THE NOVEL - PM me your email address and I'll add you
That's a good point. The word "meritocracy" actually derives from a book called The Rise of the Meritocracy which imagines a future "meritocratic" society where the poor are judged to be without merit, moral failures who deserve their fate as social detritus:
I have been sadly disappointed by my 1958 book, The Rise of the Meritocracy. I coined a word which has gone into general circulation... The book was a satire meant to be a warning (which needless to say has not been heeded)...
Underpinning my argument was a non-controversial historical analysis of what had been happening to society for more than a century before 1958, and most emphatically since the 1870s, when schooling was made compulsory and competitive entry to the civil service became the rule.
Until that time status was generally ascribed by birth. But irrespective of people's birth, status has gradually become more achievable.
It is good sense to appoint individual people to jobs on their merit. It is the opposite when those who are judged to have merit of a particular kind harden into a new social class without room in it for others.
Ability of a conventional kind, which used to be distributed between the classes more or less at random, has become much more highly concentrated by the engine of education.
A social revolution has been accomplished by harnessing schools and universities to the task of sieving people according to education's narrow band of values.
With an amazing battery of certificates and degrees at its disposal, education has put its seal of approval on a minority, and its seal of disapproval on the many who fail to shine from the time they are relegated to the bottom streams at the age of seven or before.
The new class has the means at hand, and largely under its control, by which it reproduces itself.
The more controversial prediction and the warning followed from the historical analysis. I expected that the poor and the disadvantaged would be done down, and in fact they have been. If branded at school they are more vulnerable for later unemployment.
They can easily become demoralised by being looked down on so woundingly by people who have done well for themselves.
It is hard indeed in a society that makes so much of merit to be judged as having none. No underclass has ever been left as morally naked as that.
They have been deprived by educational selection of many of those who would have been their natural leaders, the able spokesmen and spokeswomen from the working class who continued to identify with the class from which they came.
Their leaders were a standing opposition to the rich and the powerful in the never-ending competition in parliament and industry between the haves and the have-nots.
With the coming of the meritocracy, the now leaderless masses were partially disfranchised; as time has gone by, more and more of them have been disengaged, and disaffected to the extent of not even bothering to vote. They no longer have their own people to represent them.

Hello, you either have JavaScript turned off or an old version of Adobe's Flash Player.
Ready ... Angelo Mathews says he would relish captaining Sri Lanka. Source: Rick Rycroft / AP
If Sri Lanka want Angelo Mathews to become their next cricket captain, he is ready.
Hello, you either have JavaScript turned off or an old version of Adobe's Flash Player.
The all-rounder goes into the Boxing Day Test - Sri Lanka's first Test at the MCG since the infamous 1995 Muttiah Muralitharan chucking controversy - in run-scoring nick.
The 25-year-old looks certain to take over as skipper once Mahela Jayawardene steps aside at the end of the current series.
Hello, you either have JavaScript turned off or an old version of Adobe's Flash Player.
And he is confident that "his own ways'' of approaching captaincy can succeed, though he admits replacing Jayawardene will be difficult.
"I'm pretty much prepared. If they offer me the captain's job, I'll probably take it,'' Mathews said.
"Mahela's done a wonderful job and it's not easy to take those reins and do as well as Mahela. It will be a tough challenge.
"But let's see how it goes.''
Mathews has made 79, 84 and 75 in his past three Tests, but despite 11 half-centuries has only once scored a Test century.
That was against Australia, and Mathews has also shone at the MCG in a one-day international when his 77 not out as part of a 132-run ninth wicket stand gave Sri Lanka an extraordinary one-wicket win over the Aussies in 2010.
With Australia set to hand paceman Jackson Bird a Test debut, Mathews admitted the Sri Lankans knew little about the Tasmanian.
"To play for Australia, he has to be a good bowler - we cannot take him lightly,'' Mathews said.
"We have to try and be careful and take on the challenge. We need to get hold of his videos and analyse him.''

Photo Challenge: Best Holidays Ever
Sponsored by MOO
The holidays are fast approaching, as evidenced by shopping center frenzies and peppermint flavored coffee drinks. For some, this means Hallmark moments including rosy-cheeked children snuggling in plaid around a fire singing songs in perfect harmony. For others, it means your uncle Frank getting drunk and taking his toupee off whilst singing Neil Diamond and playing air guitar. Basically, interpret the joys of the holiday season as you will, and show us your best photos capturing the memorable moments.
We're teaming up with MOO, a super printing company that allows you to design business cards, postcards, stickers, and of course holiday cards, using your own images or their galleries. For this challenge, we'll be selecting FIVE super photos depicting the joys of the holiday season to be included in a JPG holiday card pack, with 25 cards total. Selected photographers will be credited and, for each JPG/MOO Holiday Card Pack that is sold, we will be making a $4 donation to charity.
This challenge was open for one week and closed Wednesday, November 26, 2008. Visit the Best Holidays Ever downloads page to see the selections from this photo challenge!

A new meningitis vaccine for Africa
December 2010
As many as 450 million people are at risk from meningococcal A disease, the primary cause of epidemic meningitis across Africa. The disease kills thousands every year. Major group A epidemics occur every 7-14 years and are particularly devastating to children and young adults. The sickest patients typically die within 24 to 48 hours of the onset of symptoms. Of those who survive, 10 to 20 percent suffer brain damage, hearing loss or a learning disability.
In 2009, the seasonal epidemic of meningitis across a large swathe of sub-Saharan Africa was thought to have infected at least 88 000 people and to have killed more than 5000.
At the end of 2010, less than a decade after the Meningitis Vaccine Project (a partnership between WHO and PATH) was established, national health authorities in Burkina Faso, Mali and Niger, three of the worst-affected countries, are introducing a new meningococcal A conjugate vaccine, MenAfriVac. The vaccine promises to provide long-term protection, for children as young as one year, at a price affordable for Africa.
This photo feature tells the story of the new vaccine, highlighting the factors that made its development possible.

It has been argued the exponential size of the wavefunction can be interpreted as many parallel worlds, and this explains how quantum computers can factor large integers and compute discrete logarithms (although on closer examination, Shor's algorithm doesn't work at all by trying out a superposition of all candidate solutions. It works by using number theory to find a different function with periodicity, and period finding.).
However, unless we can examine specific individual branches of our choice, why should we argue for the ontological reality of the branches? Measuring which branch we are in "collapses", i.e. picks out a branch sampled at random, and not a branch of our choice.
To be more specific, let's say we wish to invert a one-way function f with no periodicity properties, i.e. solve $f(x)=y$ for a specific y. We can easily prepare the state $C\sum_x |x\rangle\otimes |f(x)\rangle$ where C is an overall normalization factor. However, unless we can also postselect for the second register being y, how can we interpret this as many parallel worlds?
Doesn't this inability argue for a more "collectivist" interpretation where the individual branches don't have "individual" existence, but only the collective relative phases of all the branches taken together have any real existence?
To take a less quantum computing example, consider Schroedinger's cat. Suppose we have N cats in N boxes, and we perform independent cat experiments on each of them. Let's suppose I pass you a prespecified N bit string in advance, and I ask you to "subjectively" take me to the branch where the life/death status of the cat in the ith box matches the value of the ith bit. That, you can't do unless you perform this experiment over and over again for an order of $2^N$ times.
PS Actually, there might be a way using quantum suicide. Unless the life/death status of each cat matches that of the string, kill me. However, this rests on the dubious assumption that I will still find myself alive after this experiment, which rests upon the dubious assumption of the continuity of consciousness over time, and that it can't ever end subjectively.

Non-profit organization Build It Green and the city's Office of Recycling Outreach and Education (OROE) co-hosted the second annual Recyclefest block party last Saturday in Astoria.
OROE had an intake table set up for the Stop & Swap, an event in which attendees brought their old clothing, books, house ware items, and other small miscellaneous items in exchange for the opportunity to rummage through other people's discards.
David Hurd, director of OROE, estimated that about 90 percent of the items brought in are taken away by new owners.
"This is a great opportunity for people to be able to get things for free that they might otherwise have to pay for. They seem to be very receptive, particularly in a tough economic climate," said Hurd.
Those who attended the block party were also encouraged to browse through Build It Green's inventory, the only items that weren't free. Build It Green accepts tax-deductible donations of recycled building materials and resells them to raise money for environmental education.
"A lot of times when people are building green, it costs more money - and not necessarily a lot - but a little more," said Justin Green, Build It Green's program director. "Here, they actually save money."
Thrifty consumers can purchase doors, windows, lumber, paint, and even home appliances at savings of up to 75 percent off the cost of new building materials.
Green often describes the retail outlet as a hybrid of a Home Depot and a Goodwill store. He estimated that Build It Green diverted about 450 tons of materials and saved shoppers nearly $1 million in building costs last year.
"Not only are we keeping building materials out of landfills, we're also saving New Yorkers money," said Green. "It's this effort to change people's attitudes about the environment, to make them aware and to make it more of a standard response."

Father's Day is an occasion to mark and celebrate the contribution that your own father has made to your life. Many people give cards as gifts. But you can show your love by simply spending time with him. Create new memories and relive old ones with a classic, homemade cocktail!
Since we are in the heat of summer we're presenting four refreshing Father's Day cocktails that dad will love. The cocktails below each specify a certain type of rum, but you know your dad better than anyone so feel free to experiment to build a cocktail to his liking.
Looking for the perfect Father's Day gift? Check out these Father's Day Deals!
Cuba Libre
Tools: Tall barspoon
Glass: Highball
Serving: 1 cocktail
Ingredients: 2 oz Bacardi Superior Rum, 4 oz chilled Coca-Cola™ product (we like Coca-Cola Zero because it offers great Coke taste with no sugar), 2 lime wedges, ice cubes
Fill a highball glass with cubed ice. Squeeze and drop a fresh lime wedge into the glass. Pour in rum and top with chilled Coca-Cola™. Using a barspoon, stir gently until well mixed. Serve with a straw and enjoy!
Dark & Stormy
Tools: Tall barspoon
Glass: Highball
Extras: Lime wedge for garnish
Serving: 1 cocktail
Ingredients: 2 oz Gosling's Black Seal Rum, 3 oz chilled Ginger Beer (we like Ginger People ginger beer), ice cubes
Fill a highball glass with cubed ice. Pour in rum and top with chilled ginger beer. Using a barspoon, stir gently until well mixed. Garnish with a lime wedge or wheel. Serve with a straw and enjoy!
To make a true Dark & Stormy you must use Gosling's Black Seal Rum. It's a bartender thing. We recommend ginger beer over ginger ale because the taste is less sweet, has a higher citrus tang and is very gingery. Just what you need to give your dad a memorable summer drink.
If one of these two classic drinks doesn't suit your father's fancy and he's more of a beer or whiskey kind of guy, we've got you covered.
Made with a good whiskey (Bourbon is always a good choice) and fresh limes & lemons, this is one classic cocktail that is so well balanced it won't make you sour.
This version takes a refreshing twist on the classic lemonade shandy by using ginger beer instead of ginger ale.
Before you shop: If your dad isn't much of a drinker, then consider getting him a more high tech gift from our Father's Day gift guide while there's still time!

Smackdown Results - 8/28/09
On Saturday, August 29, 2009 at 1:27 PM EST
WWE Smackdown
August 28, 2009
Phoenix, AZ
Report by: Mike Tedesco of WrestleView.com
�Yes, sir, we promised you a great main event�� The WWE video leads us into the show.
The Smackdown video plays and we�re brought into the arena with a tremendous pyrotechnics display. Jim Ross and Todd Grisham welcome us to Smackdown, emanating from the city where WrestleMania 26 will take place. Tonight we�ll see Jeff Hardy invoke his rematch clause against CM Punk in a Steel Cage Match for the World Heavyweight Title.
Justin Roberts asks us to welcome the new and only straightedge World Heavyweight Champion in history CM Punk. CM Punk�s music hits and he comes out limping, but with a smile on his face, as the audience boos. CM Punk gets in the ring and says, �I told you so!� Punk says he told us all he�d beat Jeff Hardy at Summerslam, and in case we were too intoxicated to remember, he�ll show us how he did it. We now see a great highlight video showcasing the tremendous TLC match from Sunday. What an awesome match that was.
CM Punk is shown watching the video with a smile. Punk says he�s never felt more alive in his entire life than he does in this moment. Punk�s positive none of us have ever felt this way because we take shortcuts. Punk says he feels every ache and pain of every table, ladder, and chair that Hardy TRIED to use to stop him from getting back his World Heavyweight Title. Punk says it was the most brutal match of his entire career but it�s the pain that makes him feel so alive. Of course he hasn�t taken a thing for it, unlike us and Hardy. Even with the smallest headache we reach for our medication, but not the regular strength � we double up on the extra strength. If any of us felt the way he feels physically right now, we�d be on a morphine drip. Punk mentions that maybe some of us already are. Physical pain isn�t the only trauma he felt at Summerslam. After the match he was celebrating his superiority over all of us when we were all robbed of his moment by the evil incarnate himself, the Undertaker! A video is now shown of Undertaker Chokeslamming CM Punk after the match in one of the coolest surprises I�ve seen in a long time. That was a tremendous moment. I was going crazy.
After all CM Punk has been through, tonight he�s being forced to compete in a Steel Cage Match. Punk says that�s unfair and it borderlines on conspiracy because the �higher ups� are terrified of him, just like we are. We fear what we don�t understand and we really don�t know what a straightedge world champion is. Punk says he�s a pioneer and he makes sacrifices. He is the role model we all need � he doesn�t drink, smoke, and doesn�t abuse prescription medication like Jeff Hardy. That�s proof that straightedge means he�s better than us and Jeff Hardy, and tonight he�ll prove it once again.
Jeff Hardy�s music hits and he comes out to a HUGE reception from the Phoenix crowd! Hardy gets in the ring and soaks in the cheers from the fans. Hardy says he hopes Punk has enjoyed his reign as straightedge World Heavyweight Champion because it ends tonight. Punk comes out here on his high horse of self-righteousness, preaching as if the three most important words in the English language are, �Just Say No,� when the three most important words tonight are, �Steel Cage Match.�
Punk asks what Hardy took to get the guts to come down here to the ring and face him. Punk asks if it was pain killers, just like the crowd takes. Punk asks if he takes pain killers to dull his reality but he�ll give reality to Hardy and us. Punk says he�s tired of everyone booing him and seeing young, impressionable children cheering Hardy. Punk says he�s fed up with Hardy and us. Punk says one of them doesn�t belong here anymore. Punk says Hardy likes to take risks so he gives one to him now: tonight, the loser is thrown out of WWE. Punk says that means if he loses, we all never have to listen to him come down to the ring and tell the truth. Hardy says he likes that. Punk says if Hardy loses than that means his lifestyle, skills, and drug free judgment is better than Hardy�s and it means straightedge is better than him. It�ll make everyone else realize that straightedge is the way to go because Hardy won�t be here anymore.
Hardy thinks about it for a moment as the crowd chants his name. Hardy says it�s risky, crazy, and Punk is ON! Teddy Long�s music hits and he makes the match official. The loser of tonight�s match will no longer be in WWE. The person who wins will defend the World Heavyweight Championship in about two weeks at Breaking Point, where every Main Event match is a submission match. The winner will be in a submission match at Breaking Point against the Undertaker!
-Commercial Break-
The Undertaker will make his return to Friday Night Smackdown next week!
We get an aerial view of Phoenix, where WrestleMania 26 will happen. In the front row is the Arizona Cardinals.
John Morrison & Matt Hardy vs. The Hart Dynasty
The match begins and it�ll be Matt Hardy starting out against Tyson Kidd. Kidd quickly gets a waist lock on and Hardy just as quickly gets out with an arm wrench. Hardy wrenches the arm before hitting a short-arm clothesline. Hardy makes the tag to John Morrison and they hit a combination side Russian Leg Sweep and leg sweep. Nice double team move. Morrison hits a break dance leg drop for a two count. Morrison wrenches the arm and tags in Hardy. They double whip him into the ropes and hit a double back elbow. They follow that up with a combination falling fist drop from Hardy and a senton from Morrison. That�s an old Hardy Boy double team, and it gets Hardy a two count.
Hardy has Kidd in a front face lock. Kidd fights up and Hardy clubs him down. Hardy goes into the ropes and over Kidd. Natalya is on the apron to cause a distraction and Hardy turns into a roundhouse kick from Kidd. Kidd makes the tag to David Hart Smith. Kidd holds Hardy and Smith kicks him in the ribs. Smith lays in some punches and stomps him in the corner until the referee backs him up. Smith hits a nice snapmare and locks on a chin lock. Hardy fights up and punches out only to be kneed in the midsection. Smith goes for a neckbreaker but Hardy counters into a reverse DDT.
Morrison is tagged in and he snaps Smith�s neck off the top rope. Morrison ducks a clothesline and hits a dropsault. Morrison hits a clothesline and sends Smith into the ropes for a back heel kick. Morrison hits a STANDING Shooting Star Press for a near fall broken up by Kidd. Hardy comes in and throws Kidd out of the ring. Hardy gets on the apron and jumps off with a flying clothesline! In the ring Morrison bounces Smith off the top turnbuckle and goes for the Flying Chuck but Smith catches him on his shoulder. Smith goes for a Running Powerslam but Morrison sends him sternum first into the corner and hits a pele kick. Morrison then hits Starship Pain for the win!
Winners by Pinfall: John Morrison & Matt Hardy
Match Rating: **
Still to come tonight is Jeff Hardy vs. CM Punk in a Steel Cage Match for the World Heavyweight Championship. The loser must leave WWE.
-Commercial Break-
Did you know Smackdown was the most watched entertainment program on TV last Friday among males under 65?
Backstage Melina is talking to Maria. Melina says she saw Dolph Ziggler after Summerslam with another woman. Maria asks why no one wants her to be happy. Maria says Melina is jealous of her and asks if she has a boyfriend who cares about her. Melina says she�s sorry and walks away just as Dolph Ziggler walks up to her. Maria asks if Ziggler invited a woman backstage after Summerslam. Ziggler says he did � his sister, who was in town for the show. Ziggler says he only has eyes for Maria and kisses her.
Newcomer (or re-debuting) Drew McIntyre is in the ring. R-Truth makes his way to the ring rapping and as he�s getting in the ring McIntyre lays him out with a vicious kick to the head! I wasn�t expecting that! McIntyre grounds and pounds R-Truth before dropping him with a vicious Double Arm DDT! McIntyre grabs the microphone and apologizes for ruining our little party. McIntyre says we like to be entertained by watching someone dance and rap to the ring. His name is Drew McIntyre, and the party is over. McIntyre drops the microphone and leaves the ring.
-Commercial Break-
We come back from the break to see a replay of Drew McIntyre�s vicious assault on R-Truth.
Michelle McCool is at ringside on crutches. She�s wearing heels though so is her knee injury legit? McCool says the people paid good money to see her compete, and she wants to, but she was brutally attacked by Melina last week for no good reason, and now she can�t. She has an injured knee and she�s not medically cleared. Melina has ruined the night for everyone. McCool assures everyone that she has things under control, and we can trust her. McCool introduces Melina�s opponent, a dear friend of hers � Layla.
Layla vs. Melina
They lock up and Melina grounds her for a one count. Layla hits a forearm and wrenches the arm. Layla kicks Melina in the shoulder until Melina responds with punches and kicks. Melina has a whip to the corner reversed on her and Layla charges into Melina�s boots. Melina takes her out with a second rope senton and appears to have tweaked her knee. Melina takes her down with a back elbow and a clothesline. Melina goes to pick her up but Layla dropkicks her in the knee. Layla lays the knee on the rope and comes down hard on it. Layla hits a chop block for a one count. Melina pushes her but Layla responds with a forearm. Layla goes into the ropes and Melina takes her out with the Primal Scream for the win. The exact same match up and result we�ve been seeing for months. Lame!
Winner by Pinfall: Melina
Match Rating: � *
Melina exits the ring and pushes Michelle McCool over again. McCool grips her injured right knee in pain as Melina poses.

Mike�s Thoughts
What an emotional Smackdown tonight. This is definitely the most emotional one I�ve ever covered since I started.
Jeff Hardy finished up his contract with WWE tonight and he went out in a big way with this great cage match. I thought Hardy was done at Summerslam so anything after was just bonus and it was a tremendous sendoff. There was real emotion tonight in the match and in the crowd. You could feel it watching at home. It was great. Hardy cut a nice speech after the match. Hopefully we�ll see him sooner rather than later. Thank you, Jeff, for all the hard work and sacrifice you put in to entertain me.
I also rated this match ****, my highest rating. I gave it that high a rating not only because the match was great but the emotion was real, something that is missing from a lot of regular wrestling matches. Kudos to both men, especially Jeff Hardy!
The other big news is that another Smackdown talent will be leaving� for thirty days due to a Wellness Violation. Rey Mysterio will be out after next week�s Smackdown. I can�t even begin to express my disappointment over this. Mysterio is one of my all time favorites. He�s also a role model for many of the young fans. It�s a shame that he has to lose the title and leave fore a bit in this fashion. He should lose it when the time is right and next week isn�t that time, but what can you do? Hopefully the thirty days will go by quickly and that�ll be the end of this. Hopefully it won�t be worked into a CM Punk storyline. I�m not a fan of the Wellness Violations being worked into storyline.
The rest of the show was pretty good. You could tell it was going to be a one match show from the beginning with the long opening segment. John Morrison and Matt Hardy were good as a tag unit. I would�ve liked to have seen that match go a little longer though. All four men can really go. Hardy looks great since returning from injury. I�m hoping he and John Morrison step it up big time in Mysterio�s absence. Dolph Ziggler, of course, will.
I liked Drew McIntyre�s beat down on R-Truth. That was a refreshing alternative to the usual squash match, and a good way to get noticed. Now the next step is to get McIntyre some tights that will be flattering to him because right now he looks like a damn shaved bird.
I didn�t really like the JeriShow vs. Cryme Tyme Summerslam rematch tonight. It really lacked excitement and didn�t go long enough for me to get interested.
As a bonus, some people have asked me to provide ratings for the Smackdown matches at Pay Per Views. Here�s my rating for the Smackdown matches at Summerslam:
Dolph Ziggler vs. Rey Mysterio: *** �
JeriShow vs. Cryme Tyme: ** �
The Great Khali vs. Kane: � *
Jeff Hardy vs. CM Punk: ****
All in all it was a great and emotional night. I have to stress to all of you to go to Hulu and watch the Steel Cage Main Event if you missed it. It�s definitely must see TV.
Final Rating: *** �

whether a father's interest in his sons has much to do with how well his sons turn out
closed as general reference by tchrist♦, Matt E. Эллен♦, RegDwigнt♦ Aug 22 '12 at 9:05
This question is too basic; it can be definitively and permanently answered by a single link to a standard internet reference source designed specifically to find that type of information. If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
Has much to do with: is related to; has a correlation with; corresponds to.
How well something turns out: What is the quality of something, once it is finished being produced. (In this case, do the sons grow up to be good, honest, contributing members of society.)
The overall sentence fragment is presumably either asking if, or stating that, the amount of interest a father shows in his sons has a clear effect on how well the sons do once they have grown up and moved out.
"have something to do with" means "have connection with" or "is related to". the opponent expression is "have nothing to do with".
"turn out" in this case mean "develop or end in particular way".

N.G.B. necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 86 diseños de 11 diseñadores freelance.
We need a LOGO for the scientific research project μAQUA (microAQUA).
The collaborative project will be carried on by an international consortium of 12 research organizations in the theme KBBE (Food, Agriculture, and Biotechnology) of the European Commission's Seventh Framework Programme (FP7).
The project aims at developing universal microarrays for the evaluation of fresh-water quality based on detection of pathogens and their toxins.
The logo design should fit with the basic idea of the research project:
"Development of a device for the simultaneous detection of pathogens in waters. This device will consist of a DNA chip carrying thousands of oligonucleotides (short DNA sequences) spotted on its surface."
The logo must be appealing for scientists working on molecular ecology and environmental microbiology, and also for water monitoring agencies.
Keywords: WATER; DNA CHIP; MICROARRAYS; DETECTION OF PATHOGENS; INNOVATIVE AQUATIC BIOSENSOR; EU FP7; SCIENCE; BIOTECHNOLOGIES
The logo must contain:
(1) The wordmark μAQUA in big (this is essential since it represents the acronym of the project);
(2) Water (symbol, picture, sketch, drawings)
(3) Fluorescent spots on a (portion of?) DNA chip
Maybe the water can be represented falling on the DNA chip or beginning to cover the chip...

Birth of a Palestinian Nation : The Myth of the Deir Yassin Massacre Paperback / softback
by Uri Milstein
In the pre-dawn hours of 9 April 1948, men of the nascent Israeli state s underground defence organisations Etzel and Lehi converged on the Arab village of Deir Yassin.
By the end of the day, many were dead, Deir Yassin was in Jewish hands, and the epic lies about the so-called massacre that happened there had begun.
Deir Yassin is the most infamous episode of Israel s War of Independence.
A basic founding myth in Palestinian culture, it serves as grounds for the claim that the Jews undertook genocide and mass deportation against the Palestinians in 1948.
The continued Palestinian unwillingness to make peace with Israel stems in no small measure from the place that Deir Yassin holds in contemporary Palestinian consciousness.
The Deir Yassin affair is also a founding myth of the new Israeli left, which casts doubt on the justification for the establishment and continued existence of the State of Israel as a Jewish national state.
It is therefore not only a historic episode, but a very contemporary one. This meticulously researched book, based on archives and abundant eyewitness interviews, shows that there never was any massacre in Deir Yassin, explains the motivations of the various parties for the blood libel that sprang up around this affair, and probes its consequences.
Uri Milstein brings to his exposition of the facts a lifetime of experience in Israeli military history and a keen eye for the truth.

We first posted this several weeks ago and it proved such an enjoyable ride, that in case you missed it, we're posting it once more.
Filmed over 12 months by fighter crews themselves with a Sony Handycam, the one-of-a-kind video highlights what it's like to fly in the cockpit of one of the best air-to-air fighter planes ever built, during all kinds of maneuvers.
The video uploaded to LiveLeak runs to over nine minutes and is well worth it, but be ready to adjust the soundtrack volume.

From my childhood, I remember one holiday every year even more than Christmas or Thanksgiving. I remember the 24th of July. Almost every summer of my early life, I spent in a small Mormon community in Eastern Arizona. The community's celebration of the 24th was easily the biggest event of the entire year. The festivities lasted for almost an entire week.
Why the 24th of July? This marked the entrance of the pioneers into the Salt Lake Valley in 1847. To this day, if you tried to drive through any one of the small towns in Eastern Arizona around the 24th of July, you might end up waiting for an hour or two and watching the parade through the main street.
The 24th was a signal for all of the former residents of the towns to return to their traditional homes. Many families, like mine, planned family reunions around the 24th and the town soon filled with old and new friends and relatives. The official beginning of the 24th celebration was the Camporama. Everyone in the community was invited to a location nearby to "camp" and fix their dinner over an open fire. Instead of wagons, they would drive their cars and trucks into a huge circle and every family would have their own camp. The highlight of the evening was walking around the circle and greeting old friends and meeting relatives you hadn't seen for a while. As the years passed, I would take my own children to the Camporama. Since I was related to about half the town, there were always a lot of relatives.
The next day literally started off with a bang in the form of a simulated cannon, usually setting off sticks of dynamite. The big event was the parade down mainstreet with homemade floats and marching bands and lots and lots of horses and riders. There were usually some wagons and a few authentic looking pioneers. Many of the people on wagons and floats would throw candy to the children along the route and there was always a huge race to get to the candy before others.
In case you don't know what a float is, it is a wagon or trailer or truck decorated with fancy paper flowers or streamers, usually with a theme, and then driven or towed through the town for the parade.
There was always a barbeque lunch, parties and for many years a real rodeo with mostly local participants. The rodeo also had some featured horse races. I never did get up my courage to ride a calf in the rodeo, but I did a lot of horseback riding and participated in some of the events. Some of my favorite events were the wild cow milking contest, usually for very fast and very strong cowboys and the hide races. I don't think you can imagine a wild cow milking contest, but the cows were at one end of the rodeo ground and the teams of three milkers were at the other and the participants had to race across, catch a cow and milk her, the first team to get back across the finish line and actually pour some milk out of their container won. Let's just say the cows did not cooperate.
The hide race consisted of a rider on a fast horse and a younger, smaller participant on a cow hide on the ground tied to the saddle horn of the rider by a rope. The race consisted of pulling the cow hide around the rodeo grounds in a race to the finish line. Not only was the boy on the hide bounced by the uneven ground, you have to understand that Arizona is dry and the rodeo ground was solid dust. The hide riders would end up covered in dirt. The winner was the one who held on the longest or crossed the finish line first.
Every night of the celebration there was a dance. Of course, when I was younger, I didn't get to go, but as a teenager, I did get to participate. In my earliest years, the town would have a special program of skits and blackouts. Blackouts were short skits, usually very funny, that would end with the lights being turned off since there was no stage and no curtains. The end of the programs would always be a diorama of pioneers, usually pulling a handcart, and everyone singing Come, Come Ye Saints.
The celebration would end on Sunday with a special Church meeting where most of the talks centered around our pioneer heritage.
I am sure that my deep feelings about genealogy and my ancestors come, in part, from these types of early experiences. Now that I live in the big city and I am not surrounded by relatives, we do not remember or celebrate the 24th as extensively as before, but I still carry the celebrations in memory and my heart.

I hope you enjoyed your 24th of July, but the wild cow milking and hide racing sound very daring to me! JoReplyDelete
