I believe you overestimate the dedication of a tech support drone at any level.
Funny how I have never seen anyone hate Apple computers who could afford one.
I could afford to replace every computer I own with a brand new Apple product, but they don't appeal to me in the least.
I thought this was "carpet matches the drapes".
All those folks going on about their wife's curtains and drapes has me confused. And possibly disturbed.
In the 1980s, the boys that were into math and science and (especially) computers were also getting their asses kicked on a regular basis by the popular kids Perhaps the girls were smart enough to not want any part of that.
Or at least they'd rather follow other interests than be associated with something or a group of people who were at the bottom of the social scale.
I have heard they are being strong-armed by Canonical. Canonical makes donations to Debian, that puts Canonical in a position to influence Debian.
Everybody knows that Gnome3 and Systemd suck. But the leading Linux distros are forcing that unwanted crap on users in a very Microsoft sort of way.
I am not that surprised by Red Hat, or Canonical, but I am disappointed in Debian.
I had wondered this too. I felt that the rapid adoption of systemd was very un-Debianlike. Not only because I would have never expected Debian to accept systemd based on technical merits, but also the incredible speed at which it happened. We all know how lonnnng it takes for Debian to even make decisions about changing things in the stable branch. Hell, there's a series of long-running jokes about it. But for the Debian team to just suddenly jump up and say "Yep, we're going with SystemD. End of discussion." seemed incredibly fishy to me.
Getting bullied by Canonical makes loads of sense, but I don't like it one bit.
I haven't included the "desktop system" or whatever dselect offers you in a Debian install since probably the turn of the century. I usually just install the minimum base system and apt-get the stuff I want, which resulted in wmaker up till about 2002, and XFCE since. I'm not saying this to sound l33t or anything, but I remember doing it this way all along to avoid installing Gnome.
What was Debian's default desktop before now?
When it comes to the Big Three (FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD) the complete system is precisely what this Venezia guy is describing. It is a working system with everything you'd need to run a legitimate server. Things like X, dev tools (excluding C compilers) etc are considered "3rd party add-ons". IME BSD systems are logical, intuitive, robust, light and fast. The other nice benefit is that everything is developed by the same team, and the documentation is superb.
Don't get me wrong, I love linux too. But the BSDs are sorely under-appreciated for what they are and can do.
That said, the base install of most of the original Linux distributions (or the base install plus a handful of packages) is also what sysadmins have been using for decades as a "server-oriented linux system".
All the contenders that didn't 'make the cut*' for the likes of Debian and recent converts to SystemD, namely Upstart and OpenRC... Why reinvent the wheel when the work is already half done?
Either way, I wish the project well. Though the name "Use Less D" or "Useless D" could have been better.
*I still don't see how SystemD is more ready for primetime than anything else (or sheesh, even sysvinit) but we've discussed that here already.
It does. Lots.
Ye gods I'm so tired of this 'joke' cropping up every so often. It wasn't really that funny 12 years ago, either.
Backed up the system lately?

"We were really empty in our mind. When the music started, we didn't know where to restart our elements. After the coach gave us a gesture, we know where to go. Gradually, after the restart, we became more and more comfortable."

text: A band doesn't exactly have to be a real band to make great music together. Take Pell Mell for instance: the musicians (including Northwest producer/musician Steve Fisk) actually reside in places scattered across the U.S., and occasionally convene to make a record. After releasing just a handful of albums in more than a decade, Pell Mell have once again assembled a remarkable collection of innovative instrumentals. Star City, which along with Fisk features Greg Freeman, Robert Beerman, and David Spalding, is an expressive collection of ambient-inflected new wave/no wave pop tunes. The performances by all the players are outstanding and it's simply unbelievable that these four don't even live in the same city, much less the same state. The quality of interaction and interplay necessary to pull off the intricate and gloriously melodic songs that fill Star City is far beyond the capability of most bands after years together. A new record from Pell Mell is a rare treat and Star City is indeed a fine addition to this unique band's discography. For a pleasant dose of smooth, playful modern pop, this just can't be beat. --Adem Tepedelen

The 18th Miami Rock Festival - Day 3
Jun 2
Apr 28
"The indie world is so chock full of phenomenal artists that it can sometimes seem difficult to create an original sound that people will like and respect. The Arctic Monkeys, who pioneered modern indie set the groundwork and bands like Foals and the Black Keys have since developed the genre to new heights. The Bum Hips follow this tradition. Formed in 2011, this Florida three piece have created a raw and grungey sound which is both fresh and retro, British and American in sound, they create wide and powerful psychedelic soundscapes with their simple arrangements. Their EP, is a rich and creative source of gratification for the listener who wants something new from their music experience. I would recommend this EP wholeheartedly to anyone who likes indie, classic rock, grunge, rock and roll and the blues. Its almost flippant mix of genre and soundscape is an impressive feat for such a small band. I look forward to more releases and seeing the band gain the following they deserve."

Lunch with her boys! Natalie Portman dons flirty peasant frock as she grabs a bite with son Aleph and husband Benjamin Millepied
She won an Oscar for playing a disturbed ballerina in the 2010 film Black Swan.
But Natalie Portman channeled her inner cowgirl on a lunch outing in Venice, California on Saturday.
The 32-year-old grabbed some grub with her boys, two-year-old son Aleph and her 36-year-old husband, Benjamin Millepied.
Cowgirl cute: The V for Vendetta actress wore a Western style red dress and brown lace-up boots
The actress looked rodeo-ready in a Western inspired red dress and lace-up brown boots as she was
spotted leaving popular restaurant Gjelina in the hip beachside neighbourhood.
In one image, the Thor actress is seen covering her nose as she walks past dumpsters. But the smell didn't distract her from her motherly duties.
Natalie was seen holding her son tightly in more than one image.
Benjamin, who wore a black Nike hat, black T-shirt, dark jeans, and Nike sneakers, was also snapped with the toddler.
Holding on: Natalie carried baby Aleph close as they made their way to their car after lunch
Cough cough: Natalie held her hand to her face as she left the acclaimed restaurant
Something smelly: Natalie appears to hold her nose as she walks by dumpsters outside the restaurant
Heading home: Natalie gets ready to put her toddler in the car after eating lunch in Venice
Aleph matched his choreographer father, wearing nearly the same Nike sneakers, grey-blue trousers and a colorful plaid top.
The V for Vendetta star has had a busy weekend so far.
On Friday, Natalie was spotted hiking with her dog Whiz and a mystery man in Griffith Park.
Daddy duty: Natalie's husband, Benjamin Millepied, carries their son during their Venice outing
Hair raising: Little Aleph's blonde locks look windswept while the family grabs grub
The Israel-born beauty beamed in shorts, sneakers and a t-shirt as she walked on one of the park's trails.
Nat will have a busy 2014 shuttling between the states and Paris, France.
Earlier this year, Benjamin, a former principal dancer with the New York City Ballet, was named the director of dance at the Paris Opera Ballet. He will take over the role in September 2014 from Brigitte Lefèvre, who is set to retire at the end of the company's 2013-14 season.
Staying fit: Natalie gets in some exercise on Friday as she goes for a hike in Griffith Park with her pooch and a friend
Natalie has multiple projects in various stages of production that will keep her traveling stateside for filming and promotional duties.
The Thor actress spilled to E! News that a third installment of the Thor franchise may be in the works.
She will return to the big screen on Nov. 8 as she reprises her role of Jane Foster in Thor: The Dark World.
Big screen queen: Natalie, pictured here with Chris Hemsworth, will reprise her role of Jane Foster in Thor: The Dark World, which will premiere in the U.S. on Nov. 8
'I didn't really have that much physical activity in this movie because I'm the weakling, the Earthling who needs to be shielded from all of it, because they're all the superior species, the Asgardians who are born warriors,' she explained.
After her lovely lunch with her boys on Saturday, Natalie took her pooch to visit a friend.
The Hesher star looked completely different for her afternoon outing, wearing denim shorts, a Big Star tee and Asics.
Change up: Nat wore denim shorts a Big Star tee and sneakers while visiting friend's house Saturday after having lunch with Aleph and Benjamin in Venice
Woman's best friend: The Oscar winning actress took her pooch to her friend's house in Los Angeles

The market's calmer waters In this still-young year offer a welcome refuge from 2011's nerve-racking sea of volatility, but the bad memories linger. Just look at the poor average results in the semi-annual Barron's-Zacks ranking of Wall Street brokers' stock-focus lists.
For the second consecutive ranking, the average return of the recommendation lists trailed the stock market—this time badly.
With dividends included, the S&P 500 index, which frequently saw daily swings of 1% or more in the half, lost 3.7% in the half. In that same period, the brokers' focus lists—which contain what the firms consider their best stock ideas—did significantly worse, down 6% on average. Ouch! They underperformed for the year, too.
In the four periods covered, Wedbush surfed to three gold medals, McAdams Wright to one. Gary Hovland for Barron's
The results are broadly consistent with previous rankings. Over the years, the Barron's-Zacks survey has shown that the average focus-list return tends to exceed the market's during bull runs, as was the case in 2009 and 2010. However, the mean return typically trails the S&P 500 in bear cycles or in herky-jerky markets, as was the case for much of 2011, when the market actually finished little changed. Unfortunately, that's just when investors need good ideas the most.
Every six months, Barron's and Zacks rank the stock picks of a number of America's brokers—some of them big-name banks like Morgan Stanley ms 0.17319016279875304% Morgan Stanley U.S.: NYSE USD28.92 0.05 0.17319016279875304% /Date(1469221330312-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 12491313 AFTER HOURS USD28.95 0.03 0.1037344398340249% Volume (Delayed 15m) : 505349 P/E Ratio 13.327188940092165 Market Cap 55468560146.3318 Dividend Yield 2.7662517289073305% Rev. per Employee 625494 More quote details and news » (ticker: MS), but others little-known nationally, like McAdams Wright Ragen. (For a more detailed description of how we evaluate the results, see "Behind the Lists" at the end of this article.)
What did in the brokers as a group—though some did much better than others—was the market's singular concern last year with macroeconomic factors, such as the U.S. economy and the European debt crisis. It was tough for many brokerage firms to show their stock-picking skills when equity correlations were so high that most stocks moved in unison up and down, according to whether the "risk off" or "risk on" trade was dominant. For the market, company fundamentals took a back seat in the second half, and it shows.
Nevertheless, as always, there were winners and losers in the four periods our evaluation covers. This contest marks the arrival of the West Coast crew, if you will, dominated as it was by two regional brokers far away from Wall Street.
Los Angeles-based Wedbush Securities surfed to top honors by wide margins over the six, 12 and 36 months ended Dec. 31, 2011.
McAdams Wright, based in Seattle, won the five-year contest, doubling up the second-place finisher. A strong five-year performance is notable because that means a broker has done well over a lengthy period. In this case, the significance is amplified because the period included both 2008's terrible bear market and the strong 2009-2010 bull market. McAdams Wright, a small regional broker with a relatively narrow base of analysts—should take a deep bow. Indeed, this broker has consistently punched above its weight over the past three years.
Besides our winners, good performances were also turned in by Morgan Keegan, another regional broker and one that has often been at or near the top of this survey for many years. The Memphis-based firm, which is being sold to Raymond James Financial rjf 0.35401527855412707% Raymond James Financial Inc.

Honorable mention also goes to St. Louis-based Edward Jones, a consistent proponent of a conservative buy-and-hold strategy involving large-cap, dividend-paying, quality stocks. Unsurprisingly, whenever the "risk off" trade made itself felt last year—which was often—that helped Edward Jones, which took third in the six-month contest and was second for all of 2011.
Showing that fortunes can reverse quickly, discount broker Charles Schwab schw 1.148600143575018% Charles Schwab Corp. U.S.: NYSE USD28.18 0.32 1.148600143575018% /Date(1469221379905-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 6167586 AFTER HOURS USD28.18 % Volume (Delayed 15m) : 251873 P/E Ratio 24.615653389238293 Market Cap 37245253911.6489 Dividend Yield 0.99361249112846% Rev. per Employee 455425 More quote details and news » (SCHW) brought up the rear in the six-month contest. Schwab's performance represents a first-to-worst fall—a drastic shift that in recent contests has become less uncommon. Wedbush, for example, has had similar position changes (more on that below). In our previous contest, Schwab had scored a double victory, being first over both six and 12 months.
The other cellar-dwellers this time around were New Constructs for 12 months, Morgan Stanley Smith Barney for 36 months and Schwab again for 60.
The impact on the brokers' lists of last year's high correlation among stocks is confirmed in Zacks' analysis. Says Zacks equity strategist Tracey Ryniec, almost apologetically: "Usually, there is something that distinguishes the winners and losers by stock sectors. This time, there isn't. There's nothing sector-specific."
That said, any focus list with a large overweighting in financial stocks at just about any time in the past five years was likely penalized. The S&P 500 financials sector slid by two-thirds in the 60 months ended 2011. But financials have been among the top performers in 2012.
Wedbush's head of equities, Sheri Kaiserman, says that the key to success last year for its "Best Ideas" list was an aggressive addition of stocks in the teeth of the August-September downdraft. The brokerage added HealthSpring (HS), which subsequently rose 46%, thanks to a takeover offer by Cigna ci 4.047890535917902% Cigna Corp.

Only Clean Harbors remains on Wedbush's list.
In the three-year contest, Wedbush was helped by a general absence of those ugly financial stocks. Effectively, it was addition by subtraction.
To some extent, Wedbush also benefits from having a smaller list, typically, just 12 to 15 names. This means that just one or two big scores can significantly push up returns. But those who live by the sword can also die by the sword, and only a couple of bad picks can sink a short list. Regular readers of this survey might remember that, over the years, Wedbush has often been at the top or the bottom of the rankings, and rarely in the middle.

McAdams, like Wedbush, has a small list, typically just 20 names.
Elkan Scheidt, chairman of Morgan Keegan's focus-list committee, ascribes the firm's strong showing over three and five years to its multicap approach and a low level of financial stocks.
Edward Jones has a 40-to-60-name focus list that goes for high-quality companies with good and regularly increasing dividends. Last year "was our sweet spot," says Dave Powers, the St. Louis firm's director of equity research, because such stocks were often in favor.
In contrast, Charles Schwab had a tough time in 2011's last six months, finishing last. Its 100-name list looks for cheap stocks with improving fundamentals and market momentum, but when the "risk off" trade hit, its picks were hurt, says its director of equity ratings, Greg Forsythe. Particularly damaging was the third quarter, during which stocks were moving almost in unison on macro factors. "Where we saw value, the market saw market-exposed and economically sensitive stocks," Forsythe laments.
A spokeswoman for Morgan Stanley Smith Barney, which finished last in the three-year ranking, says it looks for high-quality, defensive names, which were not in demand in 2009-2010.
As for New Constructs, the worst performer in the second half of 2011, a spokesman says, "It was very much a momentum-investor's market," and the momentum for some of its picks went in the wrong direction.
Behind the Lists
Chicago-based Zacks Investment Research compiles the data and then scores the brokers by keeping a running tally of each focus list for various periods over the past five years. In tracking brokers' best ideas, Zacks puts a stock in a theoretical portfolio when the broker adds it to its focus list, and takes it out when the broker removes it. While similar in intent, these lists differ in significant ways. For example, some are updated at regular intervals, but others can be changed at any time.
The sizes of most lists are flexible. Many include 20 to 40 names, but some, like Charles Schwab's, can run to 100. The smaller the list, the more exposed it is to one or two stellar or disastrous picks. With big lists, individual picks matter less, but it's tougher to beat the index because each stock is a smaller percentage of the portfolio. Some of our participants focus on large caps and others small- and mid-cap stocks, which over long periods tend to outperform big-caps.
Additionally, Zacks ranks the brokers' picks on an equal-weighted basis, while the Standard & Poor's 500 is weighted according to its components' market capitalization. As a result, brokers' results aren't strictly comparable to the S&P 500's. In order to help readers get a better perspective on relative performance, our tables show the S&P returns on an equal-weighted basis as well.

The Ethical Challenge of Auschwitz and Hiroshima: Apocalypse or Utopia?by Darrell J. Fasching
Pub. Date: 07/01/1993
Publisher: State University of New York Press
This book addresses the problem of religion, ethics, and public policy in a global technological civilization. It attempts to do what narrative ethicists have said cannot be doneto construct a cross-cultural ethic of human dignity, human rights, and human liberation which respects the diversity of narrative traditions. It seeks to do this without succumbing to either ethical relativism or ethical absolutism.
The author confronts directly the dominant narrative of our technological civilization: the Janus-faced myths of "Apocalypse or Utopia." Through this myth, we view technology ambivalently, as both the object of our dread and the source of our hope. The myth thus renders us ethically impotent: the very strength of our literal utopian euphoria sends us careening toward some literal apocalyptic "final solution." The demonic narrative that dominated Auschwitz ("killing in order to heal") is part of this Janus-faced technological mythos that emerged out of Hiroshima. And it is this mythic narrative which underlies and structures much of public policy in our nuclear age.
This book proposes a coalition of members of holy communities and secular groups, organized to prevent any future eruptions of the demonic. Its goal is to construct a bridge not only over the abyss between religions, East and West, but also between religious and secular ethics.

Advice on I Have A Green Card But Having Seen My Wife Who Also Has A Green Card For 3 Years I Have Been On An Extended Visit ..Nearly 6 Months. When I Checked The Dmv Website It Says Foriegn Driving Licences Are Valid For Vistors , However Residents Must Apply Within Ten Days . I Will Become A Resident But Not Immediately As I Have A Job And Several Losse Ends To Tie Up In The Uk. I Have Benn Given A Citation For Driving Without A License. Should I Try To Defend My Positioon In Court ???? Please Help Mike
Immigration Attorney
Driving without a license is a "criminal law" issue. Trying posting the question that way. Since in most states driving without a license is a misdemeanor it will come up when you apply for green card and should be dealt with now while you can present a defense, if any, to the court. By the way, if you overstayed your visa waiver 90 day stay you should talk to an immigration lawyer as soon as possible. Also your wife should apply for naturalization as soon as she is eligible.
Immigration Attorney
You may also want to do a little bit of research on whether UK has a treaty with US for UK citizen driving in US. Mexico has some kind of treaty with US. Details should be checked on the treaty and your local state law on this issue.

4 Healthy-Ish Ways to Use a Batch of Blueberry Chia Jam
We admit the "ish" is the ice cream, okay? But the rest is healthy!
Salted Honey Cantaloupe Jam
This salty, sweet cantaloupe jam will put your go-to strawberry jam to shame.
Blueberry–Chia Seed Jam
Don't worry if this looks a little runny when it's hot. The chia seeds will plump as the jam cools, thickening it considerably.
Fruit-on-the-Bottom Yogurt Cups
A made-from-scratch superfood version of ordinary fruit yogurt (which you will likely never want to buy again!).
Blueberry-Chia Smoothie
Also delicious with frozen strawberries or mangoes instead of the pineapple, and with orange juice or any other nut milk for the liquid.
Blueberry-Chia Ice Pops
Keeping some blueberries whole in these ice pops results in unexpected, surprising bursts of sweet, fresh flavor.
Blueberry Ripple Ice Cream
There's no need to make homemade ice cream when blueberry jam ups the flavor and the presentation.
The Copper Pan that Makes the Shiniest, Sexiest Jam You Can Imagine
You could make jam in almost any pot. But pastry chef Nicole Krasinski is here to tell you why you shouldn't.
Habanero Jam
Looks like a perfectly innocent bowl of apricot jam, burns like a bright and fruity pepper jelly.
Blue Cheese–Pecan Scones
Use a blue cheese that you like to eat—whether creamy and mild, or a drier, more pungent type—and serve these with butter and jam to play up the salty and sweet pairing.

Denver Nuggets guard Chauncey Billups took his physical on Thursday morning, then met with his new team and practiced at the Pepsi Center in Denver.
Billups returned to the Nuggets after a Monday trade that sent Allen Iverson to Detroit. Billups will make his homecoming debut Friday night when Denver hosts Dallas (8:30 p.m., ESPN).
"I am extremely happy to be home. It's a dream," Billups said in a news conference. "It's a dream to me to be coming back home at a time of my career where I'm established."
Billups, 32, played at George Washington High in Denver before starring at Colorado. He was drafted third overall by the Boston Celtics and spent time with the Toronto Raptors, Minnesota Timberwolves and Nuggets before landing with the Detroit Pistons.
The 6-foot-3 guard won the 2004 NBA Finals MVP in leading the Pistons to a title. Billups averaged 16.9 points and 6.3 assists in Detroit.
"The time I was here before I was still trying to find myself and my career," Billups said. "It's a little different now. I've done that. I'm a different player now. Same person, different player."

24/7 Wall St. decided to find the most productive countries in the world. The challenge of creating this list could be framed in a number of ways, including selecting a source for the data and determining the measurements used.
24/7 elected to use GDP per capita as the measurement and the International Monetary Fund as the source for the data. The GDP is, of course, affected by the country's population, its natural resources or its manufacturing expertise. In addition, the minimum standard of living mandated by each government impacted the earning power of the people in each of these countries.
1. Norway
|More from 24/7 Wall St.:

• The 10 Safest Dividend Stocks by Sector
*Population: 4,676,305
*GDP: $382 billion
*GDP Per Capita: $52,561
The northern European nation is a nearly perfect mixture of government economic planning based on welfare capitalism, and a lightly regulated business environment. Norway has huge oil reserves, which account for 30 percent of the nation's income. It is also the third-largest gas exporter in the world. These energy industries, plus forest products and hydropower, mean high income and low unemployment for a nation that has a population of less than half that of New York City.
2. Singapore
*Population: 4,701,069
*GDP : $177 billion
*GDP Per Capita: $50,522
Like Norway, the government has almost complete control of the economy and allows free enterprise to flourish in a business-friendly environment. The high level of education (93 percent of citizens over 15 can read) among the population drives large consumer electronics and pharmaceuticals industries. Singapore is also one of the largest financial centers in Asia.
3. United States of America
*Population: 310,232,863
*GDP: $14.25 trillion
*GDP Per Capita: $46,380
The U.S. is the only particularly large country by population on the top 20 list, with the exception of Japan which is less than half its size. America has several advantages as an economy. The first, manufacturing capacity, is the most obvious. So is the size of the consumer sector. But, the two things that put the U.S. into a different category are agriculture and intellectual property. American farms still out-produce those of any other nation. America completely dominates the world's information technology, proprietary premium content and the Internet.
4. Switzerland
*Population: 7,623,438
*GDP: $494 billion
*GDP Per Capita: $43,007
This is another example of a country which has strict and nearly complete control of its economy. The government tax structure favors business. The nation has a huge financial services and banking industry -- part of the Switzerland's legacy of neutrality. Ninety-nine percent of the population over 15 can read, perhaps the most essential factor for an educated workforce.
5. Hong Kong SAR, China
*Population: 7,089,705
*GDP: $210 billion
*GDP Per Capita: $42,748
The People's Republic is in control of all policy, and the local economy is heavily regulated. At the same time, it is China's conduit to the free market. Hong Kong "re-exports" goods, most of which are produced on the mainland. It is one of the three financial centers of the region, along with Shanghai and Tokyo. Banking giant HSBC has its headquarters there, and many other global banks have their Asia management located in the city.
6. The Netherlands
*Population: 16,783,092
*GDP: $795 billion
*GDP Per Capita: $39,937
Through its ports and airports, this country is one of the largest gateways to Europe. The nation is highly industrialized and exports manufactured goods in the chemical and electric machinery sectors. The Netherlands is also home to much of the oil refinery capacity in Northern Europe.
7. Ireland
*Population: 4,250,163
*GDP: $228 billion
*GDP Per Capita: $39,468
The country is the home of a number of manufacturing and distribution center for multinational companies, which originally turned to the nation because of its low labor costs. A mortgage bubble in the country, which began a decade ago, caused an increase in construction activity. This happened at about the same time that personal income was rising due to a need for educated workers.
8. Australia
*Population: 21,515,754
*GDP: $997 billion
*GDP Per Capita: $38,910
The island nation has an economy not unlike the one in the U.S. a century ago. The country has little intellectual property, but its range of natural resources has few peers. Some of the largest mines and mining companies in the world are in Australia due to large deposits of iron ore and copper. The country is also a large supplier of natural gas. The government, which promotes free-market regulations, is also critical to Australia's success.
9. Austria
*Population: 8,214,160
*GDP: $381 billion
*GDP Per Capita: $38,838
The country is a large trading partner with Germany. Austria is a major financial center and has large steel manufacturing and chemical plants. Over 10 percent of the country's GDP comes from tourism.
10. Kuwait
*Population: 2,789,132
*GDP: $111 billion
*GDP Per Capita: $38,304
The nation's oil reserves are the fifth-largest among all nations -- ahead of Venezuela, Russia and the U.S. And the country has only 2.9 million people. The industry supports that population so completely that unemployment is only slightly above two percent.

From Our Editors
CombatFitnessHH has reimagined traditional circuit training so it's more applicable to the everyman—and much more fun. During boot-camp-style workouts, a skilled instructor pairs dynamic movements and agility exercises with sledgehammers, tractor tires, and heavy chains, improving clients' strength in every plane of motion. Over time, the body adapts to these workouts, and better performs everyday tasks such as carrying groceries or performing celebratory dances after spiking another log in the fireplace.

I'm struggling through this book but I'm putting a good bit of work into understanding it, so it's been a satisfying experience thus far. I like the idea of having a real economic basis behind my liberalism. I find it interesting how this book undermines conservative ideas of meritocracy by showing that the elites enjoy disproportionate benefits from a higher rate of return on capital during different cycles of the economy. As well as the changing level of importance on inheritance in different cycles.
I figured that maybe this book is controversial enough to warrant it's own thread. And nothing else is going on here anyway.
So, any opinions?
