QotD: "Weird nerds are made, not born"
Of all the sound, fury, and quiet voices of reason in the storm of controversy about tech culture and what is to become of it, quiet voice of reason Zeynep Tufekci's "No, Nate, brogrammers may not be macho, but that's not all there is to it" moves the discussion farther forward than any other contribution I've seen to date. Sadly, though, it still falls short of truly bridging the conceptual gap between nerds and "weird nerds." Speaking as a lifelong member of the weird-nerd contingent, it's truly surreal that this distinction exists at all. I'm slightly older than Nate Silver and about a decade younger than Paul Graham, so it wouldn't surprise me if either or both find it just as puzzling. There was no cultural concept of cool nerds, or even not-cool-but-not-that-weird nerds, when we were growing up, or even when we were entering the workforce.
That's no longer true. My younger colleague @puellavulnerata observes that for a long time, there were only weird nerds, but when our traditional pursuits (programming, electrical engineering, computer games, &c) became a route to career stability, nerdiness and its surface-level signifiers got culturally co-opted by trend-chasers who jumped on the style but never picked up on the underlying substance that differentiates weird nerds from the culture that still shuns them. That doesn't make them "fake geeks," boy, girl, or otherwise — you can adopt geek interests without taking on the entire weird-nerd package — but it's still an important distinction. Indeed, the notion of "cool nerds" serves to erase the very existence of weird nerds, to the extent that many people who aren't weird nerds themselves only seem to remember we exist when we commit some faux pas by their standards.
Even so, science, technology, and mathematics continue to attract the same awkward, isolated, and lonely personalities they have always attracted. Weird nerds are made, not born, and our society turns them out at a young age. Tufekci argues that "life's not just high school," but the process of unlearning lessons ingrained from childhood takes a lot more than a cap and gown or even a $10 million VC check, especially when life continues to reinforce those lessons well into adulthood. When weird nerds watch the cool kids jockeying for social position on Twitter, we see no difference between these status games and the ones we opted out of in high school. No one's offered evidence to the contrary, so what incentive do we have to play that game? Telling us to grow up, get over it, and play a game we're certain to lose is a demand that we deny the evidence of our senses and an infantilising insult rolled into one.
This phenomenon explains much of the backlash from weird nerds against "brogrammers" and "geek feminists" alike. (If you thought the conflict was only between those two groups, or that someone who criticises one group must necessarily be a member of the other, then you haven't been paying close enough attention.) Both groups are latecomers barging in on a cultural space that was once a respite for us, and we don't appreciate either group bringing its cultural conflicts into our space in a way that demands we choose one side or the other. That's a false dichotomy, and false dichotomies make us want to tear our hair out.

"Let people do what they want with their own bodies and property": Q&A with Todd Seavey
Published on 7 Jun 2016
"The experience of having everybody around me on campus say the left is the way to go and then…seeing communism collapse made me think maybe the libertarians have a better handle on how these things work," says Todd Seavey, author of the new book Libertarianism for Beginners. "While the Soviet Union existed, the Marxists on campus were rooting for the Soviet Union."
A New York-baseed comic-book writer, one-time producer for TV's own John Stossel, and a contributor to Splice Today, Seavey found his way toward libertarianism while attending Brown University in the late 1980s.
His new graphic book, Libertarianism for Beginners, argues that the core message of libertarians is to "keep the government small and let people do what they want with their own bodies and property."

QotD: American "civil religion"
The near-universal existence of religion across cultures is surprising. Many people have speculated on what makes tribes around the world so fixated on believing in gods and propitiating them and so on. More recently people like Dawkins and Dennett have added their own contributions about parasitic memes and hyperactive agent-detection.
But I think a lot of these explanations are too focused on a modern idea of religion. I find ancient religion much more enlightening. I'm no historian, but from the little I know ancient religion seems to bleed seamlessly into every other aspect of the ancient way of life. For example, the Roman religion was a combination of mythology, larger-than-life history, patriotism, holidays, customs, superstitions, rules about the government, beliefs about virtue, and attempts to read the future off the livers of pigs. And aside from the pig livers, this seems entirely typical.
American culture ("American civil religion") has a lot of these features too. It has mythology and larger-than-life history: George Washington chopping down the cherry tree, the wise and glorious Founding Fathers, Honest Abe single-handedly freeing the slaves with his trusty hatchet. It has patriotic symbols and art: the flag, the anthem, Uncle Sam. It has holidays: the Fourth of July, Martin Luther King Day, Washington's birthday. It has customs: eat turkey on Thanksgiving, have a barbecue on Memorial Day, watch the Super Bowl. It has superstitions – the number 13, black cats – and ritual taboos – even "obvious" things like don't go outside naked needs to be thought of as taboo considering some cultures do so without thinking. It has rules about the government – both the official laws you'll find in the federal law code, but also deep-seated beliefs about the goodness of democracy or about how all men are created equal, and even customs that affect day-to-day governance like the President giving a State of the Union in January before both houses of Congress. There are beliefs about virtue: everyone should be free, we should try to be independent, we should work hard and pursue the American Dream.
Insofar as this isn't obvious to schoolchildren learning about ancient religion, it's because the only thing one ever hears about ancient religion is the crazy mythologies. But I think American culture shows lots of signs of trying to form a crazy mythology, only to be stymied by modernity-specific factors. We can't have crazy mythologies because we have too many historians around to tell us exactly how things really happened. We can't have crazy mythologies because we have too many scientists around to tell us where the rain and the lightning really come from. We can't have crazy mythologies because we're only two hundred-odd years old and these things take time. And most of all, we can't have crazy mythologies because Christianity is already sitting around occupying that spot.
But if America was a thousand years old and had no science, no religion, and no writing, we would have crazy mythologies up the wazoo. George Washington would take on the stature of an Agamemnon; Benjamin Franklin would take on the status of a Daedalus. Instead of centaurs and satyrs and lamia we would have jackalopes and chupacabras and grey aliens. All those people who say with a nod and a wink that Paul Bunyan dug the Great Lakes as a drinking trough for his giant ox would say the same thing nodless and winkless. Superman would take on the stature of a Zeus, dwelling beside Obi-Wan Kenobi and Bigfoot atop Mt. Whitney, helping the virtuous and punishing the wicked. Some American Hesiod would put succumb to the systematizing impulse, put it all together and explain how George Washington was the son of Superman and ordered Paul Bunyan to dig Chesapeake Bay to entrap the British fleet, and nobody would be able to say they were wrong. I mean, we already have Superman vs. Batman as canon, why not go the extra distance?

QotD: "World-Famous in Canada"
… one of those dim, dumpy "world-famous in Canada" sorts who are especially unimpressive whenever they happen to be, as in her case, "Kay-BECK-erz." This human chafing dish for received liberal wisdom has received so many "honors" and "awards" that one friend I'd brought along said he half expected that, mid-debate, someone would walk out on stage and hand her a new one.

QotD: Midwest white trash spotting guide for coastal elites
Further north into the Midwest, you run into the Polacks. This is technically a derogatory term for people of Polish descent, though I've also heard it applied to people whose Eastern European ancestors came from less well-known countries. In Europe, particularly France and Russia, Polish people are stereotyped as thieves or under-the-table laborers. In the US, you're more likely to run into the stereotype of "Polish people are unintelligent," although both continents tend to associate being Polish with being a plumber. Polacks are also the target of a uniquely American type of joke, the Polack joke, which has developed regional variations. In Texas, they're Aggie jokes instead.
Further north still, in Minnesota and the Dakotas, you get the Scandahoovians. Tall, blonde, chubby, kind of dim and easy to put one over on, but friendly: there's your stereotypical Scandahoovian. Jokes about Scandahoovians are kinder, on average, than jokes about Polacks; the Scandahoovian is still the butt of the joke, but about half the time, he outwits the Yankee. Scandahoovians will also never stop feeding you, but instead of sausages, it's casserole and they call it "hot dish." They're quiet folks; I'm told this is a survival trait, acquired as a result of having to spend the entirety of winter either at home with your family or ice fishing. (Get into a spat with someone, and you'll be doing a lot more ice fishing. So they keep things to themselves.)
Finally, I would be remiss if I didn't mention the Italians. Italians compete with Czech-Germans for keeping you fat and happy, but they're much more talkative. They also compete with the Scots-Irish for fighting you. I don't know much about Italian white trash culture; I married into Pennsylvania Scots-Irish, and that branch of family sure loved Italian food and was happy to work with their neighboring Italians, but tended to keep to their own culturally. "Jersey Shore" is where most folks get their stereotypes of Italians these days, and I'm sure it only shows the shittiest, most laughable parts of Italian white trash culture. I've made a few Italian white trash friends, and they're some of the most loyal people I've ever had the pleasure to meet.

QotD: The enviro-marxists and mainstream culture
… a survey by Nina Mazar and Chen-Bo Zhong, published in the latest edition of the Journal of Psychological Sciences, "Do Green Products Make Us Better People?" found that consumers of "Green" and "Planet Saving Products" are more inclined to cheat, lie and steal.
Risibly, perhaps because Mazar and Zhong are from the planet Mars, and not aware of the last fifty years of human history, the researchers speculate that people who wear what they call the "halo of green consumerism" are less likely to be kind to others, and more likely to cheat and steal. "Virtuous acts can license subsequent asocial and unethical behaviours."
Pardon me, but I must pause to wipe the tears of laughter from my eyes.
Those of us from the planet Earth, who remember being lectured-at and talked down to for the last fifty years by these sneering self-anointed Green busy-bodies and Enviro-Marxists know very well why Greens tend to lie and cheat: it is because they are unbathed and draggle-haired hippies.
Anyone who did not note the moral degradation involved in the Sex, Drugs, and Rock 'n' Roll Revolt overlooked the express and often repeated point and purpose of that revolt: it was to degrade moral standards, first in the sexual realm, then in common courtesy, chivalry, common decency, then in independence of character, then in toleration of dissent. Somewhere along the way personal hygiene fell by the wayside, along with respect for one's elders and respect for one's word.
The purpose of the Green Movement, which sprang from the unbathed Youth Movement, is not now and has never been to save the planet and preserve the beauty of nature. That is what Boy Scouts and Rod and Gun clubs and other arch-enemies of the Greens mean to do. The Greens want to trash industry and to feel good about themselves.
It is self esteem therapy, not anything related to reality.

QotD: What might trigger a new war in Europe
I have said on a few occasions that, in my opinion, based on my reading of history, wars are, as often as not, caused by fear. Even Vladimir Putin's naked aggression is, I think, a result of his fear of what is happening to Russia: a steady decline back into political and strategic irrelevance. It is not at all unreasonable to suppose that fear of the societal changes that very large scale migrations will bring cannot and will not provoke people into electing governments that will, out of fear of the unknown, attack their neighbours in a misguided effort to sauve qui peut in their own societies.
I think Sir Max [Hastings]'s "think-tank friend in Washington," was (still is) wrong when he "observed last week: 'Democracy only works where there is a broad consensus about the distribution of wealth and power.' And it is because this consensus faces unprecedented stresses in consequence of migration in Europe, that he believes some factions may resort to violence, even outright war." The "broad consensus" is not about wealth or power, it is about respecting the rules, living with and within the "institutions" which make democracy work. Those institutions are strong in e.g. Britain, the Netherlands and the Scandinavian countries; they are weaker in e.g. France, which, for example, tossed out a democratic government and constitution in 1958 when the Algerian war went sour.; they are weaker still, in my opinion, in the entire "Southern tier" of Europe (Portugal, Spain, France, Italy, and the Balkans and in the Eastern European states that only recently tossed off the yoke of Russian/communist rule. If trouble is going to start it will happen, I think, in those weaker states. A European war is likely to start when one of the countries with weaker institutions decides, our of fear, that it must break the rules that hold Europe together.

QotD: To modern people, death really is a stranger
I was thinking about this the last few days and I realized we – we modern people – have a very odd relationship with death.
Look, I'm in no way complaining about this, okay? I want you to understand that upfront. For my final exam in American culture, back in Portugal, I had to read this very stupid book who deduced all sorts of crazy stuff about Americans from the fact our dead are usually embalmed. Frankly, I think the author should have his head examined. (He also went on about our putting people in old age homes, forgetting that our elderly live MUCH longer than normal, which means at the end they need a lot more specialized care. He also seemed not to get the sheer immensity of our territory which means family can be flung all over the continent. Organizing a rostrum to visit grandma and make sure she takes her meds is a tad-bit more difficult than in a village or even a moderately sized town.)
However it makes us weird about death. And it distorts our view of everything.
Accidents most of all. What, you think it's a coincidence that the more remote the possibility of death, the more we pile on safety mechanisms in cars? The more we make our kids wear helmets and eye protection for perfectly harmless activities? (I think the end run of this is that we pad all the trees, like the royal family of Spain when their kids had hemophilia.)
And it goes further. Any death has become unthinkable. We react with shock to any death that doesn't take place after protracted illness. We start cowering back from eating meat because "the poor animals" and we shy back from any war and try to have it humane and with ROEs that make it impossible to do what war should do: inflict terror and pain on the enemy until they surrender. (I think this goes hand in hand with no longer knowing how to END a war. We don't say "We're going to end it by winning." Or "It ends when the other guy is rubble." No, we say "We need an exit strategy.")
If you think of death as the dark tints of life, we've become washed out, and in many ways incomprehensible to cultures in which death is still very common.
I know, I know, culture this, culture that – but in the end I wonder how much of our decay and our seeming wish for suicide, from having too few kids to not being ruthless enough to those who hurt us, comes from the fact that death has come to seem unnatural and strange.
Again, I'm not complaining. I'm no more fond of death than anyone else, and no more resolute in the face of it. I know I might be called upon to die for what I believe in, and that's fine – it's much, much harder to accept dying because someone's clutch slipped, or because I caught some weird virus no one could figure out. And I can't imagine dying even at 100 without feeling that I'm leaving a lot of stuff undone. Still, I can come to terms with my own death – the death of those I love is something else. I've already told Dan he must die after me or I'll never talk to him again. The thought of losing the kids is unimaginably horrific. Heck, I'm all broken up about the idea of losing a cat within the year, and I've lost cats before.
BUT while I wouldn't want a return to things quasi-ante, and while the solutions I could pose – as a science fiction author – range from the repugnant to the horrible and are all "I don't want this" (Though some might make interesting stories.) I do wonder what part of our decay, or the decay of our willingness to fight and win, is because death is alien and a surprise to us.
We have become like the elves who spawn rarely and live unnaturally long "blessed" lives. Maybe there is some ancestral memory there. Maybe there is a cycle where you become too comfortable, too little used to death, and then the ruthless cultures come in and destroy you, because they walk with death everyday.

Atlanta Braves news, rumors and injuries
Braves | John Gant leaves start early
Mon, 27 Jun 2016 19:33:27 -0700
Updating a previous report, Atlanta Braves SP John Gant (oblique) suffered a strained left oblique muscle in his start Monday, June 27, against the Cleveland Indians. Gant will be re-assessed Tuesday, June 28.
Fantasy Tip: Gant has started to show progress over his past couple of starts, so hopefully he isn't sidelined for a long period. We'll likely have a more definitive answer on his timetable Tuesday.

Braves | John Gant leaves start Monday
Mon, 27 Jun 2016 16:56:07 -0700
Atlanta Braves SP John Gant (oblique) had to leave his start Monday, June 27, versus the Cleveland Indians after experiencing discomfort following a pitch made to SP Trevor Bauer. He departed with one runner on and nobody out in the top of the third inning. SP Tyrell Jenkins came in to replace him.
Fantasy Tip: Hopefully this doesn't turn out to be something that sidelines Gant for an extended period, as he's actually looked pretty decent since entering the rotation after beginning the year in the bullpen. If Gant has to miss any time, Jenkins, a top prospect, would be one of the lead candidates to take his spot. He's worth stashing in NL-only leagues for his potential if this is indeed the case.

Braves | Matt Wisler regressing
Mon, 27 Jun 2016 16:25:19 -0700
Atlanta Braves SP Matt Wisler has a 7.59 ERA in his last four starts in 21 1/3 innings and opponents have a .392 on-base percentage with 31 hits (seven home runs), and he's walked nine batters and struck out 13 in that span. He had a 3.16 ERA and opponents had a .265 on-base percentage against him in his first 11 games (10 starts).
Fantasy Tip: Wisler has limited major league experience in just his second season, so the ups and downs should be expected from his fantasy owners. He's one of Atlanta's more promising arms in the rotation, though, and he's improved his BB/9 (2.6) and K/9 (6.1) from last season. Facing the Indians Tuesday, you should be very careful using Wisler in your starting lineups tomorrow evening after the way he's pitched of late.

Braves | Atlanta resting two players
Mon, 27 Jun 2016 14:00:33 -0700
Atlanta Braves C A.J. Pierzynski and OF Emilio Bonifacio are not in the starting lineup against Cleveland Indians SP Trevor Bauer Monday, June 27. C Tyler Flowers will start in catcher and is batting sixth in the lineup, while OF Brandon Snyder will start in left field and is batting seventh.
Fantasy Tip: Flowers is hitting .211 with two home runs and three RBI this month but does have three hits in his last two games. Flowers will have value in two-catcher leagues, but owners in other leagues should find better options. Snyder has gone 4-for-15 since joining the Braves but is not a strong option.

Braves | Gordon Beckham a week away
Mon, 27 Jun 2016 13:26:24 -0700
Atlanta Braves 2B Gordon Beckham (hamstring) started his rehab assignment in the minors and went 0-for-3 Monday, June 27. Manager Brian Snitker said Beckham is around a week away from returning from the disabled list.
Fantasy Tip: Whenever Beckham is ready, he should return to regular playing time at either second or third base for Atlanta. He has played well for the Braves this year with a .284/.382/.442 slash line, but he's mainly an NL-only asset as middle and corner infield depth because of his lack of power on a weak-hitting team.

Braves | Bud Norris has terrific outing
Sun, 26 Jun 2016 16:20:12 -0700
Atlanta Braves SP Bud Norris pitched seven scoreless innings against the New York Mets Sunday, June 26, to pick up his fourth win of the season. He allowed four hits during the game, while striking out eight batters.
Fantasy Tip: Norris has allowed seven runs in his last five starts and has lowered his ERA to 4.22. He is scheduled to face the Miami Marlins in his next start and can be a decent option in daily fantasy leagues.

Braves | Adonis Garcia drives in three
Sun, 26 Jun 2016 16:07:58 -0700
Atlanta Braves 3B Adonis Garcia went 1-for-4 with one home run and three RBI against the New York Mets Sunday, June 26.
Fantasy Tip: Garcia has recorded at least one hit in eight of the last 10 games and nine RBI during that span. He could be a sleeper option in daily fantasy leagues while he on his hot streak.

The Atlanta Braves have signed Shenendehowa High School P Ian Anderson, the No. 3 pick overall in the 2016 MLB draft. He will receive a $4 million signing bonus, which is below the suggested slot value of $6,510,800.
Fantasy Tip: The 18-year-old Anderson will report to the organization's Rookie-level Gulf Coast League affiliate. He features a fastball that has been clocked as high as 96 mph, as well as an above-average changeup and curveball. Owners in dynasty leagues should keep tabs on Anderson's progress throughout the minors.

Braves | Jeff Francoeur back in lineup Sunday
Sun, 26 Jun 2016 07:54:53 -0700
Atlanta Braves OF Jeff Francoeur is back in the starting lineup against New York Mets SP Bartolo Colon Sunday, June 26, batting seventh and playing left field. In addition, C A.J. Pierzynski is batting sixth and starting behind the plate, while INF Chase d'Arnaud is batting eighth and playing shortstop. C Tyler Flowers and SS Erick Aybar are receiving the day off.
Fantasy Tip: D'Arnaud is batting .257 with five doubles and five RBI in 74 at-bats this month and could be a productive source of cap relief in DFS. Pierzynski is only batting .195 this month but is a lifetime .277 hitter versus Colon in 65 at-bats, with three doubles, two home runs and five RBI.

Braves | Erick Aybar out against the Mets
Sun, 26 Jun 2016 07:25:25 -0700
Atlanta Braves SS Erick Aybar is not in the starting lineup Sunday, June 26. INF Chase d'Arnaud is starting at shortstop and batting eighth against New York Mets SP Bartolo Colon Sunday.
Fantasy Tip: Aybar has turned it around in June with a .300/.391/.425 line, but it has only resulted in four runs and four RBI. He is a desperation starting option in deep formats. D'Arnaud offers little in the power department (.371 slugging percentage), but he sits with a .282 batting average and .360 on-base percentage, which makes him a viable depth piece in cavernous mixed and NL-only leagues.

Braves | Julio Teheran shuts down Mets again
Sat, 25 Jun 2016 19:59:54 -0700
Atlanta Braves SP Julio Teheran allowed five and struck out seven over eight scoreless innings in a no-decision against the New York Mets Saturday, June 25, and he has allowed a combined six hits over 17 scoreless innings in his last two starts against the Mets.
Fantasy Tip: Teheran continued his strong season, and the only blemish is a 3-7 that can be attributed to Atlanta's lackluster offense. If he is moved to a contender before the deadline, he will become an even more attractive fantasy option, especially in DFS formats.

Braves | Aaron Blair sent down to minors
Sat, 25 Jun 2016 12:22:37 -0700
Atlanta Braves SP Aaron Blair was optioned to Class AAA Gwinnett on Saturday, June 25. RP Matt Marksberry was recalled from Gwinnett.
Fantasy Tip: Blair was roughed up for eight runs in 4 1/3 frames Friday and has a 7.99 ERA through 11 big-league starts, so the 24-year-old has some work to do. Marksberry gave up a run in two-thirds of an inning back in April in his only appearance with Atlanta. Both players are well off the fantasy radar.

Atlanta Braves SP Aaron Blair allowed eight runs on seven hits while walking three and striking out wo over 4 1/3 innings in a loss to the New York Mets Friday, June 24, dropping to 0-5 on the year.

New York Mets OF Yoenis Cespedes (wrist) is starting in center field and batting third against Atlanta Braves SP Aaron Blair Friday, June 24.
Fantasy Tip: Cespedes missed the game Thursday, June 23, to rest his injured left wrist. He remains a solid starter in all fantasy formats, but you might not want to start him in daily contests Friday.

Hello, I moved up here from AR last year and now I'm trying to figure out fishing trout up here and where to find them. Would anyone happen to know any good locations for fly fish in the central WI area? Thanks.
Waxing Gibbous

Caught just 6, had a nice rainbow around 22 inches break my line after a couple runs. Kept 2 -16 inch browns for the smoker. Its a spot I fish once every 2 years because its exhausting to get to. At least a dozen 20+ inch fish in that stretch of stream, Used Blue Fox vibrax in 1/16 oz

Was there for two days, one day before going to Oman and one day after. I enjoyed it much more than expected.
The Dubai Mall, however, was awful, even worse than I imagined. Take the metro to the Dubai Mall station and then you still have to walk a good 20 minutes along those moving walkways (eight in total). Get inside and find hoards of people taking pictures of everything. To see the dancing fountain, you wait half an hour for a show that lasts about 30 minutes. Not worth it. Then it took 30 minutes to find the taxi stand, and another 20 minutes waiting in line for a taxi. It was encouraging, though, to find that many American chains that i thought didn't exist anymore are still alive and well, such as Bennigan's and Fudruckers.
The Dubai Museum and Sheik Saeed House are both quite interesting and highly recommended. Pay 3 dirhams to enter one, and the ticket gets you into the other which is about a 10 minute walk away.
Al Mamzer Beach was absolutely beautiful. I don't think this is even listed in the LP guide, which leaves a lot to be desired. No doubt the sand and the palms were brought in from elsewhere, but the beach is clean, there is plenty of shade for everyone, the water's clear and fairly warm and the whole day was wonderfully relaxing. Admission is 5 dirhams, taxis are available outside, and the signs say that Monday is for women and children only.
Despite what everyone says about Dubai being so expensive, I did not find that to be the case. Hotels, yes. But taxis, food, bottles of water and entry fees are all lower than here in the US.
For the first day, I was at the Sheraton Deira, which I highly recommend. It is close to the airport and in a local neighborhood with lots of non-touristy restaurants. There is a great rooftop pool where they played 80's music all day and if you like plane spotting, this is the place to be since they go right overhead. There were a few people up there with binoculars and logbooks.
For the second day, I opted for an Airbnb apartment in International City. This is where the workers live. It is not in any tourist guides or even on the maps, it is not particularly pretty and I wouldn't recommend it for women since the area is almost entirely young single men, but if you want something more authentics, you can't get any better than this. There are all sorts of Indian and Arab restaurants with very low prices and very friendly people. It is convenient to the airport, an easy taxi ride to Deira and Bur Dubai and about 25 minutes to Al Mamzer Beach. Just bring extra cash, since I never found a bank.
So if you are thinking of going, but fear it is too expensive, too touristy and too fake, you may be pleasantly surprised.

Dubai Trip Report

Report Abuse
Thanks for your feedback.
I went 2 times to Dubai, first time I was in the very trendy area and second time I was with Airbnb and I am wondering if I did not stay at the same place as you.
Lots of review said that it was not recommended for women and not very pretty. But Dubai is one of the safest place in the world, and I never ever felt scared walking in the darkest area. Lots of workers yet discreet and they won't annoy you.
I found it fun to have a whole area for woman/children only during certain hours in the metro. Good to know for the beach - I'll go there next time.
I agree with you that the mall was not worth - lots of walking from the metro. I was almost discouraged to go there.
I'll keep in mind the museum option if I go there next time. I was not sure who worth it was to get there.
Report Abuse
O yes, I agree with your take on Dubai Mall. Just a correction: If you want to see the fountains you may wait 30 minutes for a three minute show. It is pretty if you happen to catch it, it is nice if you plan to eat somewhere in the vicinity, but do NOT wait at ground level and try to see it.

Five reasons to switch from Windows to Linux
Linux has been in the ascendancy ever since the open source operating system was released, and has been improved and refined over time so that a typical distribution is now a polished and complete package comprising virtually everything the user needs, whether for a server or personal system. Much of the web runs on Linux, and a great many smartphones, and numerous other systems, from the Raspberry Pi to the most powerful supercomputers. So is it time to switch from Windows to Linux?

Heavy as a heavy thing.,
This review is from: From Mars To Sirius (Audio CD)
This really is one of the heaviest bands around at the moment.
They remind me a little of Strapping Young Lad, especially with their wall'o'sound approach to layering the songs.
The drummer is simply increadible. He is like a machine in his precision.
For me, there is a pair of tracks towards the end of the album that sum Gojira up.
The track From Mars... is haunting and makes the hair on the back of your neck stand up. It's followed by what can only be described as a sledgehammer to the face in the form of ...To Sirius.
This really is technical metal at it's best.
Highly recommended to fans of Mastodon, SYL or Meshuggah.

Pacific Islands
A short family holiday to Fiji is as much as $1000 cheaper than a year ago and the plunging cost has sparked a bounce-back in New Zealand tourists since April's political strife.
Almost 12,800 Kiwis took a break in Fiji in July, the most since April. Numbers were still 8.4 per cent down on last July, but were recovering from the slump earlier in the year.
House of Travel sales director Brent Thomas said hot travel deals to Fiji between May and August followed April's political stoush, a 20 per cent currency devaluation by Fiji and discounts to counter the impact of the global economic slump.
"Prices of hotels, [rental] cars, and flights have been so much less this year than last year.
"The hotels have got to fill themselves somehow."
In April, Fiji's military leader Voreqe Bainimarama revoked Fiji's constitution and put off holding democratic elections until 2014.
At the time, Foreign Affairs Minister Murray McCully warned travelling Kiwis of "the potential for civil disorder and violence".
A Tourism Fiji spokesman said July's success was due largely to the Bula Me campaign in May, although the cheap fares and cold winter had also driven up tourist numbers.
"People are offered preferred pricing [and the destination has] been promoted well. It's a simple answer, it has worked."
Mr Thomas said New Zealanders still wanted to travel, but were spending less because of the recession.
"When things are down, people still need a holiday ... so instead of going for 18 days they go for 16. They don't cut their holiday, they just manage it around their budget."
The increase in travel to Fiji was part of a wider trend, with a big jump also in trips to Thailand and Australia. "Our passenger numbers for the year are up ... previously we were down but [numbers] certainly have picked up in the last two to three months."
Despite House of Travel's increased traveller numbers, revenue was "significantly down" because travellers were spending less on their holidays.
Mr Thomas had some advice to those concerned about the risks of travelling to Fiji: "Go and enjoy it. Right now it's just business as usual and has been for many, many months."
Green MP Keith Locke said while his party was not advocating an economic boycott of Fiji, travellers to the region could help politically by expressing the New Zealand stance toward the regime.
"They should realise that they don't want to be seen as helping the regime and the way to avoid that is to be ambassadors for democracy."
The Foreign Affairs Ministry website continues to list travelling to Fiji as "some risk", and advises travellers to register their details with the ministry.
SUNNY DAYS: 12,798 Kiwis travelled to Fiji this July, compared with 13,972 in July 2008 and 12,180 in 2007. House of Travel prices for a family of four to fly to Fiji (ex Auckland) staying five nights at a three-star resort, dropped from $2300 in July last year to $1600 this July. House of Travel prices for a family of four to fly to Fiji (ex Auckland) staying five nights at a five-star resort, dropped from $3100 in July last year to $2100 this July.

AMAs 2012: Justin Bieber and Taylor Swift Are Among Early Winners
Justin Bieber and Taylor Swift won early at 2012 American Music Awards at the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles on November 18. The former was announced by Ryan Seacrest as this year's Favorite Pop/Rock Male Artist, while the latter was presented a trophy for Favorite Country Female Artist by Eric Stonestreet.
Bieber, who's nominated for 2 more awards Favorite Pop/Rock Album and Artist of the Year, beat Flo Rida, Pitbull and Usher who took the stage earlier in the evening as an opening act. "This is for the haters who thought I'd be around for just a couple years," he said, before proceeding to thank his supporters including his mother.
When it was Swift's turn to collect her prize, she was asked by the presenter a.k.a the "Modern Family" actor if she's ever won an award before. Keeping her "surprise" face at bay, the 22-year-old blonde beauty thanked fans and took time to briefly mention her new album "Red". She beat Miranda Lambert and Carrie Underwood.
The third winner of the evening was Nicki Minaj. The female rapper grabbed Favorite Rap/Hip-Hop Album, pushing aside Drake and J. Cole. She has a chance to win two more gongs in Favorite Pop/Rock Female Artist and Favorite Rap/Hip-Hop Artist categories. She receives her first win from presenters Stacy Keibler and Ne-Yo.

Non touristy things to do in london for a day??

I'm not sure what you count as "touristy" or not - or what you saw several years ago. IMHO London has dozens of touristy things to do - and you may have done all of them - or may not consider them touristy.
Give us a clue what you like or don't.
Have you done a boat trip up or down the Thames to Greenwich or Hampton Court? Do you love gardens and have you seen Kew?
More info would help.
Report Abuse
were your chosen day mon-friday, I'd have suggested a visit to the Temple area of london, just south of Fleet street, where many barristers have their chambers. There are beautiful gardens, a very traditional atmosphere, [gas, not electric lamps are used for outdoor lighting] and if you book in advance, it's possible to have lunch in Middle Temple Hall where Twelfth Night was performed for the first time.
it's not really the same on a Saturday, though, so instead of/as well as Kew, you might think about nearby Syon Park which has a lovely garden, but is little visited by tourists.
Report Abuse
Go to the British Library and read a book.

Anything that's of interest is something a tourist would do. Also something people who live locally would do. Non touristy things are what you normally do at home - cleaning, grocery shopping, errands.
Some sights where you might find fewer tourist and locals:
Highgate cemetery
Choose a neighborhood and just wander around
Soane Museum
Transport Museum
Bramah's Tea and Coffee Museum
Fan Museum
Little Venice Walk
Walk around trying to spot Blue Plaques
Take your favorite book set in London and stroll around looking for sights mentioned
Leighton House
Old Operating Theatre
Bletchley Park (although this might be popular now because of the TV series)

Adrienne said it about right, I think. Anything that's interesting is something that a tourist would do (and is probably doing right now).
Go spend a few hours at a local pub. There are tons of them around that don't cater to the tourist trade, and it's a great way to soak up some local color. And local ale.

If you have not been to Sir John Soane's house or the Wallace Collection, they are musts and as popular, ESP the latter, with locals as with tourists.

How about Greenwich, going one way by boat and the otber way with the DLR via Canary Wharf? That way you could see everything Greenwich has to offer, stop off at Mudchute City Farm for a bit of a walk, and maybe the Museum of Docklands (or in the reverse order).

I have not done one in a thousand years but briefs filed with the court used to be put in what was called a blue back. It was a thick piece of paper slightly larger than 8 1/2 x 10 sheet of paper with a lip at the top that folded over in which the legal paper was placed and stapled.

Things we do that relatively few tourists seem to bother with:
- Go to a play (as opposed to the rehashed pop star biogs only tourists seem to bother with), especially from the not-for-profit sector (National, RSC, Almeida, Royal Court). A substantial proportion of for-profit theatres now show productions emanating from the not for profit sector
- Go to a fringe theatre production
- Go to an exhibition, as opposed to the main displays, in museums or art galleries
- Go round a few private art galleries
- Go to a concert in a second-division concert hall, like the Wignore Hall or Purcell Room
- Choose a restaurant ethnicity you haven't got at home (like Ethiopian or the Basque Country) or from a region of China or the Indian subcontinent you're not used to
- Go to a lecture
For all of these: just browse Time Out and choose at random. Or choose an aspect of life you're interested in and England pioneered (like scientific discovery, organised sport, an accountable legal system, parliamentary democracy, church music, 19th century industrial development or botany) and pursue it, via its specialised museums, major showpieces or attending its modern practice.
