by Harrison, Lawrence E.
Publisher:Basic Books
This collection of essays addresses a difficult question: Are some cultures better than others at creating freedom, prosperity, and justice? Although Culture Matters offers varying responses to this politically incorrect question, its editors, Lawrence E. Harrison and Samuel P. Huntington, as well as the bulk of its contributors, answer in some form of the affirmative. In an introduction, Harrison (author of Underdevelopment Is a State of Mind) writes in the third person of the movement he helps lead: "They are the intellectual heirs of Alexis de Tocqueville, who concluded that what made the American political system work was a culture congenial to democracy; Max Weber, who explained the rise of capitalism as essentially a cultural phenomenon rooted in religion; and Edward Banfield, who illuminated the cultural roots of poverty and authoritarianism in southern Italy, a case with universal applications." (The book, moreover, is dedicated to Banfield, "who has illuminated the path for so many of us.") For readers loath to make value judgments about cultures, Culture Matters may be tough going. But admirers of Trust by Francis Fukuyama, The Wealth and Poverty of Nations by David Landes, and any number of books by Thomas Sowell will find much to admire on these pages. Fukuyama and Landes, in fact, have written chapters--along with Barbara Crossette, Robert Edgerton, Nathan Glazer, Seymour Martin Lipset, Orlando Patterson, Lucian Pye, Jeffrey Sachs, and many others. In an especially compelling essay on Africa's continuing plight, Daniel Etounga-Manguelle asks, "What cultural reorientation is necessary so that in the concert of nations we [Africans] are no longer playing out of tune?"
And this is the point of the book: not to denigrate any particular culture, but to figure out how all people can improve their quality of life. In the words of Harrison, who pens the book's concluding essay, "It offers an important insight into why some countries and ethnic/religious groups have done better than others, not just in economic terms but also with respect to consolidation of democratic institutions and social justice. And those lessons of experience, which are increasingly finding practical application, particularly in Latin America, may help to illuminate the path to progress for that substantial majority of the world's people for whom prosperity, democracy, and social justice have remained out of reach." --John J. Miller

Bill. Hallelujah
Hi everyone,
I just thought this pic of Bill. Hallelujah was worth sharing with you all.
All the best, Nev
Yes this is for sure eye catching
I am well am retired and it seems busy enough as there is much one can do when choices in life, are for the most part your own
I am new to the Bromeliad area of gardening
A Canadian with a home in Ft Myers the past 12 years Florida that is
I have tried many things in my gardens, but they have to be tough as I am only here half a year
Bromliads seem to do the trick Some in shade some in sun.
Is quite neat.
Another interesting part of joining societies involved with Bromeliads are that it seems the people in general are very knowledgeable and do not mind sharing their plants and their knowledge
Leaving for Canada tomorrow

We enjoyed our stay at Shanshan's apartment. The pictures are true reflections of the place. The location was convenient and Shanshan was very responsive both pre-trip and on-trip for any questions/help asked. We feel the place is clean and would recommend it to our friends.
it is the 3rd time i stay in Shanshan's (website hidden) is nice as before.I will be back in the next year.
장소 위치 다 좋습니다.

친절한 안내 감사드립니다.
잘 지내다 왔습니다.
My friends and I had a lovely time staying in Shanshan's apartment. The apartment was clean and equipped everything we needed. It made our stay a lot easier without having to worry about the little details. The location was very convenient as it was close to the mtr and many eateries. Although the apartment was a little small, but that is to be expected, we felt it was fine and enough for the four of us to stay comfortably. Shanshan was helpful and had very good communication to ensured we arrived to apartment safely and kept in contact throughout our stay. Overall we would love to stay again on our next visit to Hong Kong!
Thank you Shanshan for all your help during our stay. We had a wonderful time in Hong Kong and your apartment was perfectly located to the MTR, eating venues and supermarkets.
Shan Shan apartment was indeed in a good location, walking distance to MTR and lotsa nice local food eateries within the Wan Chai area.
She's been so helpful and everything on her notes of her apartment are just so clear! Would recommend her place for sure!
Hi! Everybody, my name is Shanshan.
I love travelling myself, it's so nice to go to different places and to make new friends. Running a BNB is just as fun, I do my best to take good care of my guests' needs in every aspect. Being a local, I am sure I can assist and give advice whenever necessary.
Hong Kong is an amazing place to visit and I look forward to welcoming you to stay at our apartment.

MILAN — Double-digit car sales growth in Spain, Italy and Britain helped auto registrations rise in Europe for the 18th straight month.
Europe's carmakers' association, ACEA, said Tuesday that car sales grew 7.3 percent annually in February to 924,440 units. Registrations rose by 26 percent in Spain, 13 percent in Italy and 12 percent in Britain, supporting smaller gains in the region's two biggest markets, Germany and France.
Despite the European car market's steady recovery, registrations have not yet returned to pre-crisis levels.
By brand, Volkswagen saw sales rise 11 percent for a leading 25-percent market share. Mass-market competitors Fiat Chrysler and Renault also saw double-digit increases, while PSA Peugeot was flat. Premium carmakers BMW and Daimler posted double-digit sale gains and market share improvements.

bill_vincent - question?
(I think I ask the wrong person this question in another forum - oh well)
Bill - I just put up white subway tile from Lowes on my kitchen backsplash. I'm looking for a grout recommendation that isn't white, more of a light gray or taupe, to set the tiles off. We tried Warm Gray by mapei, but my dh is worried it has a bluish undertone. I bought Custom's Antique White at HD, but haven't tried it yet. Will antique white be too close to white, and make it look dirty? Any thoughts? Thanks in advance.
I'm not bill_v, but we are using Laticrete Silver Shadow based on his recommendations several times in other people's posts on this forum. It is pretty similar to Mapei Warm Gray, I think, but I didn't compare them side by side. I know Bill has a few posts with example pictures of the Silver Shadow that you might be able to use as a guide.
Laticrete's Silver Shadow will give you the light grey, while the Custom Antique White will be more of a beige off white, taking you in an entire different direction, tone-wise. Either one would work well, depending on which direction you want to go.

2000 Ford Explorer Overview
Overall User Score
Based on 45 reviews
No great changes were made to the 2000 Ford Explorer; after the previous year's exterior redesign, Ford looked at its big-shouldered sport-utility vehicle and found it good. Its impressive cargo capacity (81.6 cubic feet for the four-door models) and solid roadworthiness made it the SUV of choice for hundreds of thousands of buyers.
Another selling point for the 2000 Explorer was its emphasis on safety. No new safety features were introduced for the 2000 model year, but the Explorer was already chock-full of them: from anti-lock brakes to side-curtain airbags to the Reverse Sensing System (a sonar-based array that warned of approaching objects when backing up), the Explorer was all about security.
That said, there was plenty of performance to be found in the Explorer, if that's what you were looking for. Rack-and-pinion steering and (optional) all-wheel drive made the Explorer more agile than many of its competitors. Its all-wheel and four-wheel options gave it the ability to go off-road with ease, even if most of the Explorers out there never got out of the suburbs.
Trim choices for the 2000 Explorer were the two-door Sport trim, and the four-door XL, XLS, XLT, Eddie Bauer, and Limited. Engine offerings included a 5.0 liter V-8 engine with a 215-horsepower output, a 4.0 liter single overhead cam V-6 clocking at 205 horsepower, and the base 4.0 liter V-6 which put out 160 horsepower.

for me, diving gear should be as simple as possible. complicated equipment has a greater tendency to fail and gets in the way of the pleasure of diving which is to enjoy the environment around me. this knife is small to be stowed away in a bc pocket and it is light in weight and it is made of titanium which i discovered many years ago to be the best material for a dive knife because it never rusts. i like it. well worth the price

In-N-Out Drops Beef Supplier, Needs Veggie Burger On Menu
Written by Vegetarian Star on August 31st, 2012 in Business, Food & Drink, Restaurants.
Fast food chain In-N-Out has cut ties with one of its beef suppliers, Central Valley Meat, after the company was found to have violated animal welfare standards. That's certainly a step in the right direction. But animal rights activist and eco-friendly entrepreneur Ari Solomon thinks In-N-Out can do better by putting a vegetarian burger on its menu.
Solomon has started a petition at Change.org, where he praised In-N-Out for dropping Central Valley as its supplier and suggests how it can do its part to improve animal welfare even more.
"In-N-Out did the right thing and said they would no longer buy from this supplier, but it's the 21st century and I think it's high time they offer a veggie burger option for customers who don't want to eat animals or just want a little diversity with an environmentally-friendly, healthier option once in a while."
"I know In-N-Out prides itself on being ahead of the other fast food outlets, so how amazing would it be if vegans and vegetarians from students to A-list celebs and everyone in between could go enjoy a burger?"
Vegetarians, vegans and those who simply get tired of eating beef every time they want a "quickie" meal can sign the petition at Change.org.

would be pretty easy if you had lots of cloth pipes, like firefighters use
Obviously there should be no state aid or help as the invisible hand of the market will make everything perfect. After all it worked in New Orleans.
My spouse and I were just talking about how terrible this whole scenario is. What can we say....JUST CHILLING!
We should all take a lesson from what we are witnessing here; nuclear power may seem an inexpensive alternative for energy on the front end, but if anything goes wrong, we all end up paying a terrible price at the end.
The real issue seems to be what will happen when the Japanese money is withdrawn from foreign (in particular US) bond and equity markets to deal with the aftermath of the quake. How will this influence currency markets (EUR/USD) and US interest rates?
These power companies are running these plants that should have been decommissioned 10 years ago or more to the breaking point for profit...the fools put the entire nation at risk
Any idea about whether they have been able to set up or start erecting refugee tent cities?
There is the old Camp Sendai there that is now a Jietai base. It seems to be quite a large facility - My father was based there in the 1950s, and we visited it six years ago. Would think they would try to set up some sort of aid/temprorary housing there unless the place got wrecked too.
Also, any indication of laying of temporary water pipelines, setting up of mobile generators, clearing of key arteries of traffic (just plow the debris aside), or other work of the sorts usually performed by an army corp of engineers/emergency aid teams?
Good idea: Saying that the Japanese should use this tragedy as opportunity for national renewal.
Bad Idea: making a tirade about all the ways in which you find those victims' culture, recreation, and personal outlook objectionable.
If Hello Kitty phones, comic books, and politeness are really the cause of Japan's systemic economic problems, I'd love to see the link. Unfortunately, I suspect that they have little to do with it and you were just taking the opportunity to inform the rest of us everything you don't like about Japan.
Given the circumstances, that seems in bad taste.
Japan is a great country. It will not be battered to death by a earthquake or leakage of nuclear material.
we all wish good luck to Japan.
For the first time in its 65 year history, TEPCO will institute a rotating blackout tomorrow. The entire service area of TEPCO, with the exception of about 15 Wards in Tokyo Metropolis, are split into 5 zones, each with 1 or 2 periods of 3.5-hour blackouts, starting from 06:20 and finishing at 22:00 The full extent of blackout will depend on the actual power demand and supply, and stability of local network, so the order of blackout may be swapped between zones, and some areas may have their zone changed at the last minutes.
The earthquake took away many people's lives,but the futher impact of it was enormous.It not only damaged the buildings,but also the Japan's economy.It is harder for Japan's economy to recover from the crisis.Also there are many other factors threating the safety of people,the government should do more ,not waiting,give the citizens hope!

Stories build community:
Both internally and externally, stories can connect individuals to others who share their experiences and generate the ability of individuals and organizations to act. One goal of community building is to become part of someone else's story, to have their story become part of you. It is through the act of telling that we realize that our stories are interconnected with others.
Stories can create the conditions for change:
When we build relationships through storytelling, the process often encourages individuals to think differently about themselves and about their capacity to act both individually and collectively. We tell stories as evidence of our work to galvanize energy, to raise funds, and to educate.
Please enjoy this short reel of a few of our recent projects.

I have to agree with other comments -- I've made lots of meringues but would never dream of serving it raw -- so I find it hard to trust this recipe.
well its no bake but its surely not instant I mean geesh it really is bake I think sucks
I can't imagine anyone preparing a pie and making meringue from raw egg whites and not baking the meringue. That is inviting disaster by eating raw eggs.
@gerrywalkr 4208092: For this recipe, no baking is involved. We have edited the recipe to help clarify any potential confusion. Hope this helps! - RecipeLion Editors
And then bake at ? for how long? Thanks, Gerry

mgd and has a capacity of 4.48 mgd.Knoxville's first sanitary sewer mains were installed in 1903. Through 1995, the City's approach to the collection system and treatment plant was reactive. The normal view of the lowest rates possible was the prevailing approach to the method
used to fund maintenance of the collection system and treatment plant. Rates were adjusted only when funds were needed to address an immediate issue.While this method had worked for many years it was apparent that the City's aging collection system was going to require larger expenditures
for maintenance in the future. Over the last few years City staff, with great support from the City Council has evaluated the rate structure and made many changes to address the needs of the collection system and treatment plant in the City of Knoxville. Staff looked at the many areas of wastewater
treatment and planned for both current and future needs. Cost estimates were prepared to fund these needs and the rate structure was adjusted to cover the anticipated costs for 30 years into the future. The results of this work provided an in-depth look at the City's treatment system
and a planned approach to both current and future maintenance of the system.",

Time to Get Teams Together for Fivesome
It's time to start getting your team together for a great Fivesome event this year, set for Thursday, May 7 at Seattle Golf Club.
It would be great if each course is represented by a superintendent, club president, green committee chairperson, club manager and head pro.
However, if you're having problems putting together a complete five-person team, we can help. We're fully prepared to pair clubs and players together to complete five-person teams. For example, if Club A has just three players, and Club B has just two players, then we'll put the two clubs together for Club A/B and nobody has to miss out on the fun. The entry fee for complete teams is $700, or $140 per person.
We're in the process to gathering auction items, so if you know of any unique opportunities, things like hunting trips, or time shares, or ski trips, or anything that you think will draw interest during the auction, please contact Paul Ramsdell at email@example.com or 253-219-8360.

New Site, New Dates for WTLS
The Board of Directors of the Western Washington Golf Course Superintendents Association is happy to announce a new site and new dates for the 2015 version of the Washington Turf and Landscape Show.
In 2015, the event will move to the Lynnwood Convention Center, and will be held on Tuesday-Wednesday-Thursday, Dec. 8-9-10.
The facility at Lynnwood is conveniently located right next to Interstate 5 and offers a perfect combination of classrooms to facilitate the numerous educational sessions of the WTLS. And there is plenty of ample parking right at the location, which should eliminate numerous headaches of past editions of the WTLS.
Also, the Lynnwood Convention Center offers the WWGCSA the chance to set consistent dates year after year and the WWGCSA is looking to settle into a routine of the Tuesday-Wednesday-Thursday of the first full week of December.
Paul Ramsdell, the Executive Director of the WWGCSA, is available for any questions or concerns regarding this move. He is available at firstname.lastname@example.com or 253-219-8360.
Time to Support American Lakes Veterans
Thanks to the leadership of Western Equipment and TORO, we now have a more realistic way to help our friends at the American Lake Veterans Golf Course.
Through Western Equipment and TORO, a GR TriFlex 3320 mower has been rebuilt and is available once we raise $12,000 in donations.
This significantly improves our odds for success compared to when we were trying to raise $33,000 for a brand new mower.
You can visit gofundme.com to learn more about the needs at American Lake and the campaign to help.
You can also click here for more information on a flyer put together by Shawn Frisbee of Western Equipment.
With the understanding that our Veterans and wounded warriors deserve a better golf experience, Shawn and the Western Washington Golf Course Superintendents Association (WWGCSA) have undertaken a fund-raising campaign to purchase this mower, which will virtually eliminate the possibility of any further catastrophic leaks and provide a putting service that would be the envy of any championship golf course. It's the very least we can do to help our returning service members heal and get back on the road to recovery.
The WWGCSA started the process with $20 from everyone's registration fee at the Annual Meeting going toward the project. We were able to raise $660 that day at White Horse Golf Club.
So, visit the Go Fund Me link above, or if you have questions you can contact Shawn Frisbee at email@example.com or Paul Ramsdell, the executive director of the WWGCSA, at firstname.lastname@example.com or 253-219-8360.

Jacob Close Elected President
Jacob Close, the superintendent at Sudden Valley Golf & Country Club in Bellingham, was elected president of the Western Washington Golf Course Superintendents Association at its annual meeting.
Close has spent the past year as the vice-president of the WWGCSA under Steve Link of Skagit G&CC, who slides into the role of Past President.
Also at the annual meeting at White Horse Golf Club in Kingston, Michael Goldsberry of Wing Point G&CC and Greg Matz of Inglewood Golf Club were elected to three-year terms on the Board of Directors.
Shane Riley of WinField was elected to the one-year term as the Affiliate representative on the Board.
In a separate by-laws vote, the proposal was approved to change the term of the Assistant position on the Board from one year to two years. Josh Cheney of Glendale Country Club was then elected to the two-year Assistant position.
At the annual meeting, $40 of every registration fee was donated to two separate funds. Half of that went to the Joan Colleran 529 College Saving Account for the college education of Troy and Bryce, the two sons of the late Paul Colleran, the superintendent at Aldarra Golf Club. Anyone who wants to make additional donations may do so through Morgan Stanley, Attn: Matt Bridge, 500 108th Ave, NE, Suite 1900, Bellevue, WA 98004.
The other half went to the Operation Great Greens, a campaign headed by the WWGCSA to raise money for a new triplex greens mower at the American Lake Veterans Golf Course.
Target Products Offers Match to Ravensdale Bunker Sand
While the Western Washington source for the popular Ravensdale tan bunker sand might have dried up, golf course superintendents in this area don't have to look far to find a first-rate replacement.
Target Products out of Abbotsford, B.C., has tested both its Baja tan and Bimini tan bunker sands and both have been found to be excellent replacements and additions for Ravensdale tan sand, either during normal maintenance of bunkers, or in any major bunker projects.
Target Products, which is being represented by Scott "Sandman" Mitchell (604-614-7875 or email@example.com) , has been a full-service supplier of golf course sand in British Columbia and beyond since 1984. Its staff of agronomists, engineers, chemists and field technicians have been providing quality blending services to dozens of golf courses, including Bear Mountain in Victoria, Blackhawk in Edmonton and Turtle Bay in Hawaii. And USGA specifications are guaranteed for Target Products bunker sands.
Target Products used two different firms—Hummel & Co., out of Trumansburg, N.Y., and ISTRC New Mix Lab out of Lenexa, Kan.—to do tests to determine the compatibility of its Baja and Bimini sands to the Ravensdale tan bunker sand.
The moisture content was found to be less with either the Baja or the Bimini as compared to the Ravensdale sand and particle shape and size parameters were classify as the same.
"The penetrometer tests that measure resistance to golf ball burying in four conditions were very similar among the Ravensdale sand, straight, and the two mixes. The color was the color of the Ravensdale," said the report out of ISTRC in Kansas.
"Based on the test results the mixes should play like the Ravensdale sand, straight," the report continued.
The test results from Hummel had this to say about the Baja sand from Target Products, "The sample was clean in that there was little slit and clay present. As a result, there was little crusting of the sand after wetting and drying. This means that bunkers with this sand in place may not require raking after rainfall or irrigation events."
The Hummel test also said the Baja sand had a penetrometer reading "suggesting a low tendency to bury the ball."
These tests indicate that both the Baja sand and the Bimini sand both blend well with Ravensdale sand and can serve as replacement sand to Ravensdale with little or no impact on playability and/or notice from the golfers.
Complete test results are available through Scott Mitchell, or contact Scott with any questions about these tan bunker sands from Harrison Lake, the largest lake in the southern Coast Mountains of British Columbia.

Masscahusetts senator John Kerry admitted today that allowing the Bush tax cuts to expire will result in a "major tax increase." Kerry is a member of the so-called supercommittee.
"You're guaranteed, unless it's changed, a major tax increase on January 1st, 2013, when the Bush tax cuts expire," Kerry said this morning on MSNBC's Morning Joe. Watch the video below:

The talking heads this morning on MSNBC's Morning Joe reacted to Republican presidential candidate Newt Gingrich's assessment of Occupy Wall Street. "All of the Occupy movement starts with the premise that we all owe them everything," Gingrich said over the weekend. "It's a pretty good symptom for how much the left has collapsed as a moral system in this country, and why you need to reassert something as simple as saying, 'Go get a job right after you take a bath.'"
On Martin Bashir's television program this afternoon, Democratic strategist and MSNBC analyst Karen Finney said that Republicans are supporting Herman Cain because of his race:
Fox News: "Sources: Christie Definitely a 'No' for 2012"
Washington Post: "Decision on health-care law means Supreme Court will likely determine constitutionality next summer"
On his nightly television show recently, MSNBC host Lawrence O'Donnell said that Texas governor Rick Perry is not suitable to be president of the United States because of his connection to one man — Pastor John Hagee of San Antonio, Texas.
Bloomberg: "Democrats Balk at Possible Debt-Limit Deal as Deadline Looms"
MarketWatch: "Congress never, ever cuts spending"
Hot Air: "An executive order in the old Chicago tradition"
Well, it's something when we're on the same page as ThinkProgress, who -- to their credit -- flags this exchange from Chris Matthews' show:
Cable television talking head Lawrence O'Donnell, of MSNBC, went on a gutsy tirade last night, blasting his employer's parent company for creating "a monster."
Dan Senor, adjunct senior fellow for Middle Eastern studies at the Council on Foreign Relations, appeared this morning on MSNBC's Morning Joe to discuss the war in Libya, adding some much-needed expertise to the discussion. Watch the video below:
There's a little bug inside of me which wants to get the FCC to say to FOX and to MSNBC: 'Out. Off. End. Goodbye.' It would be a big favor to political discourse, our ability to do our work here in Congress.
-- Sen. John D. (Jay) Rockefeller 4th (D-WV), November 17
On Friday, THE WEEKLY STANDARD called MSNBC's suspension of Keith Olbermann "ludicrous," and urged, "Republicans of the world, show you believe in the free expression of opinion! Tell the crony corporatists at NBC—keep Keith!"
MSNBC's suspension of Keith Olbermann is ludicrous.
First, he donated money to candidates he liked. He didn't take money, or favors, in a way that influenced his reporting.

That challenge is quickly met by the fast, clustered growth of Golden Bamboo's canes, coming together to create a tropical wall that will prevent any curious eyes from peering through. Once the bamboo absorbs the right amount of sun light, its pale green canes will transform to the brilliant golden color for which it's aptly named.
Master the art of designing your own Asian garden by strategically placing the Golden Bamboo among sculptures and other oriental themed plants. You can even plant it to form a perimeter or long fence around your yard. Each spring you can expect new canes to spring forth and fill in any thin areas of your screen.
A highly drought tolerant species, the Golden Bamboo's straight upward growth makes it easy to maintain, and it's classic tropical beauty makes it hard not to love.

£4m fund launched to help Cumbrian firms
Last updated at 12:31, Tuesday, 05 February 2013
SMALL and medium-sized businesses in Cumbria now have a chance to join the big boys by applying for money from a £4m cash pot.
The millions of pounds on offer to local businesses will safeguard existing jobs and create new positions.
Four partners, led by the Cumbria Local Enterprise Partnership, (LEP) successfully bid for the cash from the Government's Regional Growth Fund, which forms a central plank of its strategy to regenerate the English regions.
It supports projects that lever in private investment to create jobs and economic growth, particularly in areas that depend heavily on public-sector employment. But with the minimum grant set at £1m – requiring at least that amount in match funding – smaller firms have so far struggled to table schemes that qualify.
The LEP, and its partners Cumbria County Council, Cumbria Chamber of Commerce and CN Group, publishers of in-cumbria and newspapers such as The Cumberland News and North West Evening Mail, will distribute the money - under the banner Unleashing Cumbria's Potential - to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that meet the criteria.
The hope is that Cumbrian firms - who in the current economic climate may be struggling to secure funding for expansion plans - will seize the opportunity to bid for funding.
George Beveridge, the LEP's interim chairman, said: "We're delighted to have been successful in accessing this funding to help Cumbrian businesses expand.
"Many businesses, especially our SMEs, have been precluded from applying for RGF funding directly by the minimum bid of £1m.
"This LEP programme bid opens this growth opportunity up to those businesses and will make a real difference to Cumbria's economy."
David Helliwell, deputy publisher with CN Group, said: "Smaller businesses are the lifeblood of local communities, providing products, services and jobs and putting money into the local economy.
"Through no fault of their own many struggle to get the added financial help that allows them to meet their potential. We are delighted to be involved with this scheme which we believe could be a real lifeline to enterprising businesses of all sizes, operating in all kinds of markets.''
The minimum grant could be as low as £10,000 and will typically cover between 10 and 40 per cent of the total cost of a project. The amount of grant will depend on the company's size, location and activity. Applications open today and run until February 18.
Applicants will be asked for details of the project including timescale, delivery date, costs, benefits, a business plan and evidence of match funding, and explain why the grant is necessary.
They must also show their proposal is covered by the European general block exemption regulation and so does not constitute unlawful state aid.
Applications that can demonstrate they will create jobs – particularly for young people – boost profits and lever in private investment stand the best chance of success. The grants are aimed at SMEs, with up to 250 employees, although larger businesses can apply if they are specialist manufacturers or exporters.
The £4m the LEP has received is part of a larger £5m pot. The balance of £1m is targeted at businesses in low carbon/clean technologies and will be distributed separately.
Previous Cumbrian beneficiaries of the Regional Growth Fund include Pirelli in Carlisle, Pentagon Chemicals in Workington, the Lakeland Arts Trust at Windermere, and James Cropper and Gilbert Gilkes & Gordon, Kendal.

Gates discussed bolstering Saudi air and missile defence capabilities during a visit in March [AFP]
The Pentagon confirmed that while O'Reilly was in the region last week, he did not attend a missile launch.
Robert Gates, the US defence secretary, discussed strengthening Saudi air and missile defence capabilities during a visit to the kingdom in March.
This was part of a broader US effort to boost security in the Gulf in the face of Iran's expanding arsenal of ballistic missiles.
Nuclear concern
Iran's missile programme, like its nuclear work, is of major concern to the US and certain Arab states wary of Tehran's growing influence in the region.
The US has promised to speed up weapons sales, including missile-defence hardware, to Saudi Arabia and other Gulf nations, which have bought billions of dollars worth of American weapons in recent years.
They are trying to reassure Gulf allies by buttressing its defence systems with upgraded Patriot missiles on land and more US navy ships in the Gulf, capable of destroying missiles in flight.
The Patriot missile systems, which originally were deployed in the region to shoot down aircraft, have now been upgraded to hit missiles in flight.
Prince Khaled bin Sultan, the Saudi deputy defence minister, said on Monday that Saudi and US warplanes would carry out joint training exercises.

Review: The Lone Ranger
Updated: Tuesday, July 2 2013, 05:36 PM CDT
By Ken The Critic @kenthecritic
Grade: C
As a kid, I use to watch reruns of The Lone Ranger with my dad. What made that show special was the bond that The Lone Ranger and Tonto had. I'm not sure if it's the directing or more the chemistry between Johnny Depp and Armie Hammer, but this bond between them didn't translate on the silver screen.
In The Lone Ranger, a young boy meets an elderly Tonto in a museum. He starts asking a lot of questions so Tonto tells him how The Lone Ranger became a legend. In his tale, Tonto tells of when he found John Reid after he was murdered along with his brother Dan by an outlaw named Cavendish. He was about to bury him when a white "spirit horse" looked over him knowing that he was still alive. They meet and he nurses him back to health. They realize that they are both out for revenge. John seeks to find Cavendish to avenge his brother's death. Meanwhile, Tonto feels responsible for the death of some of native Americans from his tribe because he saved the two white men that ended up killing them. In addition, his family owes for his debt.
This film is ambitious, but the story is mindless instead of hard hitting. The film starts out strong and starts dragging in the middle, and just when you think it's at a screeching halt, it picks up at the end in an adventure that you had wished had been throughout the whole film, especially since it's 150 minutes long.
Futhermore, I wasn't a fan of Armie Hammer as John Reid and I kept asking myself who I would have cast instead. Since Johnny Depp is a little larger than life, he outshines Hammer, which makes it seem like it's Depp's movie and it's suppose to be a buddy comedy, and at that a brotherhood. I wanted John Reid to be a little more debonair instead of someone that isn't completely sure of himself. The writers make John Reid a lot more comical than Clayton Moore's character from the TV Series, but that's kind of the approach they tend to take when turning a successful TV show into a feature film. If you have Depp, you just can't cast someone that isn't also an A-list actor if they are suppose to be sidekicks.
To check out the trailer:
Ken's Movie Review Grading Scale
A – Superb and solid; a movie that will be etched in your mind 10 years from now
B – Good movie, so good in fact that you would want to see it again before it's out of the theaters; the story may drag in places
C – Average, entertaining at parts; you might want to wait and rent it
D – Lacks a lot from entertainment, plot, realism, development, etc.
F - Terrible and you will want to walk our of the movie; no redemptive qualities whatsoever
