Rabbi Ted Falcon, Pastor Don Mackenzie, and Sheikh Jamal Rahman, known collectively as the "Interfaith Amigos," have been learning and teaching together since 2001. They blog weekly for YES! Magazine.
When I meet with couples prior to marriage, I often ask, "Should your relationship not endure, what would be the cause? What do you know about yourself and your partner that might become a difficulty in the future?"
Most couples are taken aback by the question. Some insist that there is absolutely nothing that could tear them apart. But my experience has taught me that there is a shadow side to all our dealings in life, and that shadow side can cause us great distress. When people are unaware of their shadow, or the shadow of the other, I wonder if they know each other well enough to enter into the commitment of marriage.
Awareness of our own shadow, the disowned parts of ourselves we wish to deny and hide from others, allows us to know more quickly when that part of ourselves manifests. Awareness of the shadow side of a relationship can help us notice when we are going down roads that will only lead to pain.
If each of us carries a shadow side—the disowned self that contains qualities we do not wish to have—then it is likely that the institutions we create will also have their shadow sides.
Like any institution, our religious institutions possess aspects they want to publicize as well as parts they do not: a shadow side that holds their disowned aspects. Although, for example, a religious institution may have emerged to support a spiritual Teaching, its primary concern can turn from supporting the spiritual journey of its members to strengthening its own position and power.
I don't know of any religion that openly claims strengthening itself as an institution as one of its primary objectives, yet it is pretty clear, through the activities of most institutions, that such an objective is frequently present. This is part of the shadow side, the disowned self that often causes turmoil and confusion. I am convinced that this is the side of religious institutions that supports exclusivity and superiority. The institutional ego often functions just like the protective personal ego, seeking to prove itself better than others.
Sheikh Jamal, Pastor Don, and I continue to explore the shadow side of our own religious institutions and texts. This is a part of the focus of our work. We strive to take responsibility for probing the exclusivities and the prejudices of our own traditions.
We believe that the urge toward exclusivity is actually not part of the essential core teaching of any of our religious faiths. My colleague, Rabbi Rami Shapiro, reacting to a radio interview we gave, has accused us of neglecting the differences among our faiths:
In other words, the Three Interfaith Amigos are amigos not because they have learned to transcend their differences, but because they have no differences. The religions these three clergymen represent are so liberal as to be almost interchangeable.
Once you abandon the exclusivist claims of each of the Abrahamic religions, you have to ask yourself why you would choose to maintain loyalty to one or another among them?
Over the eight years that we have worked together, Jamal, Don, and I continue to explore the very precious differences among us. Judaism is not Christianity is not Islam. My Jewish prayer is different from either Jamal's Muslim prayer or Don's Christian prayer. Our holidays and observances, and even our languages are distinct. Our histories are different, and our position in the world is different.
Here is the essence of what we have discovered. Each of our traditions has a central core teaching that transcends the particularity of each tradition. Thus, the Oneness awakening within Judaism, while evolving within a Jewish context, is an offering to the world. The Unconditional Love that is such a clear focus within Christianity is bigger than Christianity, and the Compassionate Surrender to God that imbues every sura of the Qur'an expands far beyond the Muslim community. The core teachings are meant for the world.
We are convinced that religious institutions have tended to confuse the teachers with the Teaching, and part of our work is to identify and to celebrate the Teachings that help us reach beyond ourselves. We can then utilize those Teachings to discover the particulars within our faiths that help us actualize those Teachings. We can also delve more deeply into those that require more commentary and interpretation in order to have them do so.
This is very different from ignoring our differences, even though we might not have been as clear as we wished in the interview that Rabbi Rami heard. We are grateful for comments like his that allow us to amplify and to clarify our work.
Samuel Harris, in his condemnation of the Abrahamic religions, writes that he began The End of Faith the day after 9/11. Interestingly enough, we also began our work immediately following that tragic attack on our people and on our innocence. Our task, however, is not to condemn our religions, but to reclaim their essential teachings, which can help us heal our planet and ourselves.
In this work of reclamation, we realize that we need to confront the aspects of our faiths which have been used to support hatred and violence in the world. In so doing, we seek to celebrate, to renew, and to share. We seek to deepen a spiritual dialogue in order to collaborate more effectively and more lovingly in the work that is before us.
Rabbi Ted Falcon, Ph.D., wrote this article for YES! Magazine, a national, nonprofit media organization that fuses powerful ideas with practical actions. Rabbi Falcon has taught Jewish traditions of Kabbalah, meditation, and spirituality for over thirty-five years. He is the author of A Journey of Awakening: Kabbalistic Meditations on the Tree of Life and co-author, with David Blatner, of Judaism For Dummies.

Hello, I'm Annabelle. I'm in my late twenties, and I recently ended a
long-term relationship. I'm ready now to spend some time exploring the
things *I* like, and some of those are pretty kinky. I am very sensual and
I am also very dominant. I love to tempt men - and women, too - with my
body, and with my all natural 40DD tits. There's nothing I like more
than having someone naked and kneeling in front of me, head bowed and eyes
For more pictures of my body, click below.
So, what kinds of kinky things do I like?
Face-sitting, forced fem, spanking, bondage, orgasm control and dildo
training. I like testing limits and making you beg me to cum.
So, why not call me and
find out just how sensually coercive I can be. Find out if you can beg
me well enough and find out just exactly what I'll make you do.
You've been dreaming of a
woman like me for years, haven't you, and now, here I am.
Tributes are always
accepted and spoiling me is always a way to win my favor!

Dan Morrison needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 69 designs submitted by 22 freelance designers.
We are the sanctioning body for Jet Sprint Boat Racing in the United States. I am the vice-pres. of the assoc. Our board is looking for a new logo that makes our sport recognized by its logo. We want to keep the USSBA letters with some kind of a sprint boat design. Our sport is very extreme and fast paced. We run with a navigator in the boat (2 people). Our boats can turn a corner with up to 7G forces. Boats can reach speeds of up to 100mph in 3 seconds. All boats have roll cages in case they hit the dirt. We race in 3ft. deep channels approx. 15ft. wide. Our sport is starting to really take off in the US with TV and media coverage at most races. This sport has the potential to become a nationally recognized race venue. The sport originated in New Zealand and Australia about 30yrs ago.
This sport is a magnet for anybody who likes extreme motorsports. We have found that the most adult males and a large majority of adult females are attracted to this sport.
We would like to keep the USSBA letters as the main piece of the logo. Maybe show some kind of a drawing of a boat. Show speed? Cornering quickly? We would like to say "keep it simple", but would like to see what you got. You need to see some pictures and videos of the boats racing to fully understand the agility of these boats. That will also give you some idea of the way the boats should look.

In a large saucepan, heat the chickpeas (in their liquid) until warm. Drain chickpeas, reserving liquid. Place chickpeas, tahini. garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, salt and garlic powder into a blender or food processor. Blend on high until smooth, adding some of the reserved liquid to achieve a smooth texture. Sample and add more garlic, lemon or salt according to taste.

Question - I have recently started bathing in epsom salts for my health - I read somewhere (on this forum, I think) that mineral salts mixed with henna with cause hair to dissolve or fall out - is this true?!
Please answer...
Question - I have recently started bathing in epsom salts for my health - I read somewhere (on this forum, I think) that mineral salts mixed with henna with cause hair to dissolve or fall out - is this true?!
Please answer...
Uhm... no.
METALLIC salts in premixed or compound hennas (which may or may not actually contain any real henna) will cause the hair to become brittle and break. And if chemical dyes or chemical treatments (like relaxers) are used on the hair after compound hennas, it can cause horrible reactions such as the hair melting or worse.
However, if you're really concerned, take some of your recently shed hair and soak it in epsom salted water for a few minutes, then let it air dry. Nothing should happen.
Thanks for the comment but Epsom salts are "magnesium sulfate" which *is* a metallic salt - which is supposed to melt hair in combination with henna...
Could somebody with knowledge of chemistry please help me??
EEEWWW! That would be unfortunate if that were to happen! Sounds like a question for Catherine! I'm sorry, but I am not sure what the answer is. perhaps you could send Catherine a note and when she answers you, you could share with us! long hair lover.
I sent a message to Jen - maybe she will have an answer for you.
which is supposed to melt hair in combination with henna...
I've never heard that before. I've only ever heard that it happens if you use compound hennas with metallic salts and then follow up with a chemical treatment of some kind - typically chemical hair color. Which is why most hair stylists are paranoid about henna as a whole.
Like I said before, strand test. Take some hair from your brush and soak it in the epsom salt water. If the hair is going to melt, it will happen whether or not its attached to your head and it will happen pretty quickly, I would imagine.
Good point, ACWN.
It's not henna combined with ANYTHING else that will cause damage. Henna (pure henna) is safe to use before or after any type of chemical treatment. Safe = your hair will not be damaged by the combination of henna and whatever. It may not take a perm very well, or hold color very well, or otherwise give different results than usual, but there will not be extra damage.
Hair treated with metallic salts (specific kinds) will react with peroxide/ammonia to create various kinds of hair hell.
Henna itself plays no role in the damage.
More info here, from Catherine:
Given what Carrie just said, though, if you soak your hair in epsom salts when you bathe I would recommend strand testing in the future if you ever decide to use chemical treatments on your hair, for whatever reason. Juuuust to be safe.
After a point, I would imagine that the epsom salts would be absorbed into your hair on some level and remain, and could cause a problem. Not saying that it WOULD 100%, but that it could.
magnesium sulfate is absorbed into the body and the skin, but's perfectly fine with henna, for the reasons carrie and AWCN both pointed out. It's fairly innocuous, anyway, being in seawater and most bath salt preps. It won't hurt your hair. I use mag sulfate to control my asthma sometimes and I've dunked myself in a lot of it. . . hair's still here.
Like the others pointed out, the danger is in mixing lead salts and developer. Henna is not the problem here. Mag sulfate is just fine.
Thanks LadyT! I was asleep at the wheel, or on vacation... however you want to look at it.
Anyway... as much as I agree with the above... I still think that a strand test is a good idea. A large amount of ANY kind of minerals built up in the hair can lead to unpredictable color shifts. But no, it definitely won't melt your hair or catch you on fire!
oh gosh yes, strand test, sorry I left that out, Jen! Heck, I still strand test, as many times as I've done it, just to make sure I won't somehow magically get my henna nad indigo stashes confused or something - ALWAYS strand test!
Thank you everybody! I've followed all of your godd advice - did a strand test and hair didn't melt...
Please remember that if you repeatedly soak your hair in espom salt water to strand test before you henna every time from now on as mineral build up can cause odd colors in plant dyes. Henna has been known to go very brown in some cases and cassia has been reported to turn BLACK! Now, this is caused by minerals in the water people were using, and we still arent entirely sure why it happens. Some people have it happen, others do not.
For the sake of your color, strand test every time. And please strand test if you do something that involves a chemical - such as a perm or what have you.

ROCKFORD – Saying she is "truly sorry," a tearful Rita Crundwell was sentenced this morning to 19 years, 7 months in federal prison for pulling off what may be the biggest municipal theft in U.S. history.
The sentence is just 5 months shy of the maximum 20 years allowed. She will be on supervised release for 3 years after her sentence is served.
The disgraced former comptroller also must repay the city the nearly $54 million she stole to pay for, among other things, her nationally renowned prize herd of 400 quarter horses, her ranch in Dixon, her vacation home in Florida, luxury cars and motor home, furs, jewelry and all the trappings of a wealthy lifestyle – an unlikely feat, since the sale of most of her assets so far has brought only about $11 million.
The 60-year-old must serve at least 16 and a half years, or 85 percent of her sentence.
U.S. District Court Judge Philip Reinhard said she will serve her time in a prison near Beloit, Wis. where her longtime boyfriend lives. Waseca (Minn.) Federal Correctional Institute, a low-security federal women's prison, is about 300 miles from Beloit.
Crundwell pleaded guilty in November to wire fraud, admitting to stealing the staggering total over more than 20 years.
A presentence report that took into account the nature of her crime and the extent of her cooperation, among other things, recommended she be sentenced to between 12 and a half and 16 years.
Her public defender asked the judge for the lower end of those guidelines, while prosecutors sought the high end, up to the full 20.
Reinhard said the theft of $53.7 million was "enough aggravation" to warrant the lengthy sentence.
A number of city officials and employees testified this morning, including Mayor Jim Burke, who has known Crundwell since 1967, when she was in high school working part-time for the city. He asked the judge to give Crundwell the maximum sentence, and told her he hoped "she finds purpose in her life."
Crundwell, who had been comptroller since at least May 1983, opened a bank account she called the Reserve Sewer Capital Development Account, or RSCDA, at First Bank South, now Fifth Third Bank, in December 1990.
Since then, she funneled nearly $54 million from various city funds in and out of that account.
The trusted financial officer, who was making $83,400 a year and who had sole oversight of the city's purse, took the bulk of the money, more than $44 million, between April 30, 2002, and her arrest on April 17, 2012.
She did so in part by creating more than 179 fraudulent invoices showing the city paying money to the Illinois Department of Transportation.
Unlike official state invoices, these did not have IDOT's emblem or logo, did not include a contact name and number of an IDOT employee, were written using a different typeface than IDOT uses, and the word "section" was missspelled.
The deception went unnoticed by accountants who did the city's annual audits.
The city, though, which has an annual budget of about $7 million, began to feel the pinch, especially in the last decade, when tight budgets meant roads went unrepaired, city services were cut back and employees did not get raises.
Crundwell blamed the cash-flow problems on late payments from the state.
On the day of her arrest, Crundwell at first lied about the scope of her crime, telling FBI agents that she opened the account in 1999 or 2000 and that she took only $10 million.
The federal case is resolved, but Crundwell still faces state charges in Lee County County Court, where she is charged with 60 counts of theft for stealing more than $11 million from the city since January 2010. If convicted, that sentence will run concurrent to the federal sentence.
Her Lee County public defender, Bob Thompson, is considering filing a motion to dismiss that case, though, on the grounds that it may constitute double jeopardy

Obama Responds: Will LGBT Students Receive Financial Aid If Cut Off By Parents?
President Obama spoke during a town hall session in Binghamton, New York and was asked whether his plan to make college more affordable would also include provisions to aid LGBT students that are cut off from financial support by their parents.
The President responded, saying:
"I don't suspect that we'll have any special laws pertaining to young people who are cut off from support by their parents because their parents hadn't gotten to the place I think they should be when it comes to loving and supporting their kids regardless of who they are.
"But we are going to make sure that all young people get the support they need so that if their parents aren't willing to provide them support, and they're functionally independent, that they're able to still go to college and succeed."
Obama continued, stating that "the programs we have in place don't discriminate and shouldn't discriminate" against LGBT students. He also praised the evolution that's taken place regarding LGBT issues in recent years, citing the strike down of both 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell" and the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA). Still he acknowledged that "that doesn't mean that there aren't still going to be struggles internally."
What do you think of his response, Instincters? Do you think specific provisions for LGBT students should be in place?

Lake Erie Energy Development Corp. (LEEDCo) says several environmental groups have shown support for Icebreaker, the developer's proposed 18 MW offshore wind pilot project in Lake Erie.
On the company's website, LEEDCo has posted letters backing the project from The Ohio Environmental Council (OEC), The Nature Conservancy, Environment Ohio, The Sierra Club, Mom's Clean Air Force, Ohio Interfaith Power & Light, and Earth Day Coalition.
LEEDCo says support from the environmental community is crucial for Icebreaker to secure the permits it needs to begin construction. The letters were included in recently filed permit applications with a number of state and federal regulatory agencies. LEEDCo says those applications also included an environmental assessment determining that the pilot project poses no significant risk to the birds and bats that frequent the area.
"LEEDCo has completed comprehensive studies, which demonstrate that Icebreaker will deliver cleaner air while avoiding harm to wildlife," said Keith Dimoff, executive director at The OEC. "The State of Ohio has an urgent need for more local sources of clean energy, and offshore wind could become a big part of the solution."
LEEDCo notes that it is completing the engineering design, securing power purchase agreements and project finance, and working to develop the local supply chain for Icebreaker. Construction is scheduled to begin in Spring 2017.

February 25, 2008
About this time of year, college seniors get nervous.
In about three months, they will be released into "the real world," and it won't be a very pleasant place if they don't have a job.
If they are attending Wabash College, and they have yet to land a job, they probably have scheduled an appointment with Scott Crawford.
Crawford is the director of the Schroeder Center for Career Development. He is in charge of helping students become better prepared for their future jobs and he also helps students find job openings.
"This is our busiest time of the year," Crawford said. "We have a steady flow of students coming in and out all year, but right now is when we really start to see an increase in kids looking for our help."
Even though the economy is not doing so well, Crawford said it hasn't affected the job market much. He said there are a lot of positions available and quite a few Wabash students have accepted jobs.
For seniors Steve Miller and Trayton White, the process is over. They can look forward to the end of their college careers while being excited about starting a new job in the summer.
Miller took a position with Walker Information in Indianapolis as an assistant project manager. He said he is going to be doing business analysis at Walker Information. He said one of the firm's big studies is customer loyalty so he will be dealing with people, trying to solve problems.
White took a little different route to his job with Ford as a financial analyst. He is a chemistry major and wasn't sure what he wanted to do until this offer came along.
"Ford was the first place to show interest and I thought it would be a good place to start," White said. "I really think having a chemistry background and the way our education is set up here that it helped me get the job."
White said Wabash students benefit because they take a wide variety of subjects.
"Employers look at us and see a wide range of skills and it makes it easier for them to invest time in us," White said.
Crawford agrees, saying Wabash students tend to be very open minded and ready to take on anything that comes their way.
He believes there are more jobs available than students looking. He said on average there are about 150 jobs posted at one time for Wabash students to examine at Career Services.
All three agreed the biggest thing helping Wabash was the alumni and their involvement around campus.
"There are a decent percentage of jobs we get posted from alumni," Crawford said. "They come to us and look for resume referrals to find students who meet criteria."
Miller said the alumni feel a major connection to the school because of the unique experience they receive.
"It is great to see the alumni caring so much about the college and the current students who are here," he said.
Crawford said students need to realize the longer they wait to start their search the better the chance of missing out. He said it is important to network and try to get their name out there. "We help students who come to us as best we can," Crawford said. "It all depends on how much the student is willing to put into the process. We like to think the more they put in, the more they will get out of it.
"We make sure they know they are doing this for themselves and it is not just an investment right now, but an investment in their futures."
Miller and White couldn't say enough positive things about Crawford and his team at the Schroeder Center. Both added they were fortunate to find jobs the way they did, but they also gave a lot of credit to the help they received.

Gresham is an extremely friendly community that provides residents a comfortable quality of life. Serving as a resting spot for early pioneers migrating to Portland, the area was simply known as Campground because of its heavily forested environment. In 1884, a post office was established in order to designate the area as a city, and was named after Postmaster General Walter Q. Gresham. The city wasn't officially incorporated until 1905. Surrounding neighborhoods include Fairview, Troutdale, Boring and Sandy.
Due to a high rate of growth over the past 20 years, Gresham has evolved from a quaint farming community to a bustling urban center. As the fourth largest city in Oregon, with a diversity-embracing atmosphere, the area attracts young professionals and families alike. You'll find hardworking residents actively participating in community events that support local businesses and schools.
Gresham has a wide variety of home styles, sure to fit the needs and tastes of almost anyone. Ranging from modern sprawling estates to modest single family homes, architectural styles include single and split level, bungalow, ranch, townhomes and new construction condos.
The picturesque, historic downtown has a combination of local shops, restaurants and businesses. The streets are lined with trees and lush flower baskets hanging from lampposts, invoking the charisma of a small town amidst a bustling city. Each month, the city's Third Thursday event entertains locals and provides an opportunity for patrons to indulge in great food, wine and music. For a traditional shopping experience, look no further than Gresham Station. With over 50 national stores, boutiques and restaurants, it's a great destination to spend the day.
There are plenty of year-round outdoor and recreational activities right in Gresham's own backyard. Mt. Hood, famous for its skiing and snowboarding, is located less than an hour away, and also provides cross-country skiing, snowmobiling, snowshoeing and inner-tubing. For warmer seasons, dozens of campgrounds are a short drive away, and range from tent-only to full-service sites with boat launches and equestrian facilities.
Private mortgage insurance is an insurance policy that a residential mortgage lender requires of the borrower if the loan-to-value (LTV) ratio of the home is greater than 80%. Mortgage insurance protects the lender from the risk that the borrower may default on the loan. Federal law requires lenders to notify borrowers when the loan-to-value ratio drops below 80%. Mortgage insurance premiums vary, but generally range from $1,000 to $5,000 a year for an average priced home.

What about your 67 LOS. build, it has original P/S correct?Bob
But I can't figure out (conclusively) from anywhere whether or not the replacement (that has the wire mesh embedded in it...it felt like a porcupine when i picked it up from the box!) will work or not.
so i installed the rag joint. nevermind that i had to undo the steering linkages to drop the steering box to make enough room to insert the rag joint....
i gave it my best shot to the steering column (take the 3 bolts out from under the steering column and gently pulled on the steering column) to build the room but it didn't want to give. lacking any other ideas (and the engine is still out) i just opted to drop the steering box instead of yanking something out of the steering column.any tips on budging the steering column in order to adjust? did i miss something under the dash? does the rag joint even need to be adjusted?

Anyone seen the movie Nobody Knows (Dare mo shiranai)? Been watching in class recently, it is very depressing but interesting movie. The film reflect on some of the social problems in Japan (even though the event in the movie was based on was from 1988). Even thought the film came out eight years ago it seem to have strong relevance even today, especially after the earthquake in March.

I find it disheartening the level of knowledge presented by the Japanese surveyed, but am not surprised. I doubt many in my hometown could name the natives who once lived here either (though the time scale is different).

While maybe this belongs in music more, one thing I found interesting is the rumor about that Japanese idol/music culture is very segegrated. Meaning Female Pop Idols does not do collab with male pop idols. How true is that statement.
Here is a few korean examples from way back, this is kind of related since if an AKB48 member does something like a collab with some well off pop group, she could get in trouble.

I wasn't really sure where to post this, here in the Japanese Culture thread or the Japanese Point of View of Western Culture thread, so I guess I'll post it here. If it needs to be moved, please do so.
I found this site which contains a report from the U.S. Intelligence Bulletin, March 1943. It contains translated observations of U.S. military as noted by the Japanese around the time of Guadalcanal.
One thing that caught my eye was this:
Some of the other observations seemed rather contradictory, and has been noted so in the second document.
This was the other thing that caught my eye:

Also guns..... almost every American soldier came already familiar with the use, cleaning, and handling of firearms.
And we had team sports that trained all those soldiers in how to interact as a team.
I used to play a tabletop game called Squad Leader (Avalon Hill) that did a fair job of simulating the general behaviors of the various forces in WW2. Americans ride everywhere, they use and discard vehicles like candy. The morale may break quickly in a surprise but they recover independently and regroup faster.

Such small-unit tactics were still considered valid as recently as during my own time as an infantry officer cadet, about 20 years ago. It's the poor bloody infantry's job to take and hold ground and, in the past, it was assumed that this would necessarily mean fighting tooth and nail to dislodge enemies from fortified positions.
Even so, bayonet tactics were already falling out of favour by the time of World War I. That the Japanese still placed emphasis on it illustrated the growing obsolescence of their infantry tactics.
That's not to say Western commanders don't know the value of espionage and deception, as the likes of Erwin "Desert Fox" Rommel would amply show. But, doctrinally, it's true that Western tactics typically favour sheer firepower over feints and manoeuvres. Hence the emphasis on grenades and artillery.
In fact, I note wryly that American military doctrine, as observed by the Japanese, would still have been familiar to me and my fellow cadets 20 years ago. The approach to defence and assault is fundamentally the same, despite a time gap of 50-plus years.
In defence, dig in and prepare for a pounding. Though it's never explicitly said, the unspoken assumption is that if you're tasked to hold ground, you're as good as fucked, so you might as well prepare for the worst. Yes, don't bother to counter-attack — you're not likely to be in any shape to do so after enduring just one assault (assuming you're still alive, that is).
If you wonder why such an assumption exists, do try to experience an artillery live-firing exercise at first hand, if you ever get such an opportunity. The closest I got was for the live firing of a battery of now-decommissioned 106mm jeep-mounted recoilless rifles. Standing on a forward observation post, I could still feel my legs turning to jelly from the force of impact as the shells landed several kilometres away.
Now imagine if you were at ground zero... It's game over, man. Game over.

To me, this sounds like the japanese army was still using a WWI doctrine, with frontal assaults on fortified positions leading to close combat and counterattacks after those assaults.
That's typical WWI trench warfare.

c. The enemy's fighting spirit is unexpectedly intense. He does not retreat in single-firing combat. However, when charged, he will flee.
The following is our estimate of American strength and capabilities:
d. In defense, they never counterattack and never carry out an offensive.
f. They know nothing of assault. We should assault whenever possible. Fifty yards is often the best distance for assault.
These resulted to many Japanese casualties during WWII

One note : the US battlefield doctrine has been based on chaos - their soldiers, since the 1900s, seemed to be trained in split second decision making, regardless of the initial command.
The best plan for them? It's to have no plan.
The interesting thing to note, is that the shock value of the bayonet charge puts anyone out of commssion - they are more likely to fire more rapidly; wasting ammunition, or fumble upon their reload drills.
Except for the MG crew.

The truth is that simple plans are the best, because they are easy to explain, easy to execute and, most importantly, easy to adapt on the fly.
I speak from personal experience: first as a gawky cadet planning and executing my first mission (major fail; mission plan was so complicated and garbled I couldn't even remember parts of it en route to objective) and subsequently, many years later, as an older, more experienced reservist officer (conduct 'O' group, give mission statement, identify key objectives, lay out plans of action, obtain buy in [critical]).
The non-commissioned ranks don't need the "bigger picture". They just need the objective and the timings, which an officer is supposed to provide. Smooth execution will depend on pre-rehearsed drills, but within the framework of the plan, there should be enough room for each soldier, or at the very least the section leaders, to exercise initiative. The mission is supposed to be carried out through familiar routines in the first place. If it doesn't even start that way, something is seriously wrong.
That's the ideal situation. How close any unit is to the ideal depends, of course, on individual personalities. American doctrine can't be very different.

Usually the objective always include "Return safely" at the end; if a SOF team doesn't return, usually everyone else back home is fcked.
For QRF/SO side, planning is like debugging a complex program - 1 objective, then lots of boolean operators thrown in on the fly as things keep going wrong. OFC, being the first to go in, what can't go wrong?

Japanese Pop Cultural References in Videos by Music Artists of Part Japanese Descent
In my earlier posts in this thread, The Japanese Diaspora, Part 1 and The Japanese Diaspora, Part 2, I documented the very high intermarriage rates of present-day Nikkei or Nikkeijin (Japanese immigrants and their descendants) living in the New World (North America, Central America, South America, and the Caribbean) in the former, and linked to a number of videos on YouTube featuring entertainers and celebrities of mainly mixed Japanese descent from the New World and Europe in the latter.
Using official data and figures from the 2010 U.S. Census, as well as from the 2000 U.S. Census, around 41.5% of the total population of the Japanese ethnic group in the United States is of mixed ancestry.
In other words, almost half of the ethnic Japanese population in the U.S. is only part Japanese.
About 6.0% of the total ethnic Japanese population in the U.S. is a combination of Japanese and other Asian only (Chinese, Korean, Vietnamese, Cambodian, Hmong, Laotian, Thai, Filipino, Malaysian, Indonesian, Indian, Pakistani, Bangladeshi, Sri Lankan, Tibetan, Nepalese, Bhutanese, etc).
The total population of full Japanese descent living in the U.S. ACTUALLY DECREASED from 2000 to 2010, presumably mostly due to deaths of the elderly population.
The majority of the young ethnic Japanese living in the U.S. already appear to be of mixed descent.
It seems that the 2020 U.S. Census will show that the majority of ALL ethnic Japanese living in the U.S. will be of mixed descent.
After intermarriages with whites, the second most common form of intermarriage involving Japanese Americans is with other Asian Americans.
An example is main rapper, songwriter, producer, and frontman for the popular mainstream American electro hop band Far☆East Movement, Kev Nish AKA Kevin Nishimura.
Kev Nish's father is a third-generation Japanese American, or Sansei, while his mother is a third-generation Chinese American.
Kev Nish and a couple of his close friends from downtown Los Angeles, California - lead rapper and songwriter Prohgress AKA James Roh, and rapper and songwriter, J-Splif AKA Jae Choung, both Korean Americans - formed Emcees Anonymous by 2001, but later changed the group's name to Far East Movement. Los Angeles radio station Power 106 DJ, DJ Virman AKA Virman Coquia, a Filipino American, became Far East Movement's official DJ in 2008.
While mixed Asian American music artists (e.g., Puerto Rican/Filipino American Bruno Mars) have topped the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 Charts, Far East Movement became the first (and still only?) All-Asian American group to hit No. 1 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 Charts with their song, "Like A G6," in October 2010.
Far East Movement - Like A G6 ft. The Cataracs, DEV
In their sweet (really bittersweet) 2009 music video "Rocketeer" featuring Grammy Award-winning singer-songwriter, record producer and frontman for the pop rock band OneRepublic, Ryan Tedder, there are a few examples of Japanese-style illustration and manga pictures, as well as a Super Mario reference by Kev Nish:

Far East Movement's 2011 music video "If I Was You (OMG)" features famous rapper, singer, record producer, and actor, Snoop Dogg:

Near the end of Far East Movement's 2012 music video "Jello" featuring rapper, dancer, and actress, Rye Rye, Kev Nish proposes to and kisses - really kisses - an Oprah Winfrey lookalike:

Far East Movement's 2012 music video "Live My Life" featuring YouTube sensation, Justin Bieber, was filmed in Amsterdam, The Netherlands:

Far East Movement - Live My Life (Party Rock Remix) ft. Justin Bieber & Redfoo
Far East Movement's new album, DIRTY BASS, is slated to be released "May 22nd around the world and June 5th in the US."
Rising and much critically acclaimed American r&b/pop singer-songwriter Jhené Aiko (born Jhené Aiko Efuru Chilombo in Los Angeles, California) - whose mother, Christina Yamamoto, is half Japanese and half Dominican mulata (mixed black and white {Spanish}), and whose father, Dr. Karamo Chilombo, is part black, part German Jewish, and part Native American - has drawn praise from fellow music artists like rappers Drake and Wiz Khalifa.
Jhené Aiko's 2011 music video, "SNAPPED," which was posted on her official music channel on YouTube, features video clips from the Japanese animation (anime) title Black Lagoon, starring Revy:

Jhené's older sister, Mila J, is also a singer. Here are a couple of her music videos from 2006 and 2007, respectively, "Complete" and "Good Lookin' Out" featuring Marques Houston:

Whatever happened to Mila J?
Many fans say that Mila J and certainly her baby sister Jhené Aiko have a lot more talent than many, if not most, of the singers who are more popular today.
More information and videos featuring Far East Movement and Jhené Aiko, as well as other international entertainers and celebrities of mainly part Japanese ancestry, can be found in my The Japanese Diaspora, Part 2 post which I linked to above. I recently updated that post with a number of new links and more info, including different videos starring the stunningly gorgeous, part Japanese, Uruguayan-born Mexican actress and model Bárbara Mori.
Born to a Japanese-Jamaican mother and a Black American father in New York, Misa Hylton is an American celebrity stylist. "She has created fashions for Mary J. Blige, Kimora Lee Simmons, Chris Rock, Missy Elliot, Lil' Kim, Diddy; Faith Evans and the beat goes on...." She has said that she prefers to work behind the scenes.
While a teenage student in high school, Misa Hylton dated famous American rapper, singer, record producer, actor, and entrepreneur Diddy AKA Sean John Combs, who was an adult at the time.

Misa Hylton Speaks
Misa Hylton and Diddy had a son together, Justin Dior Combs. Earlier this year, the 18-year-old Justin accepted a full football scholarship to UCLA. The 5-foot, 9-inch Justin Combs plays defensive back.
Inheriting his mother's good looks and his father's status as a famous celebrity, Justin seems to be have already been quite a heartthrob when he was a younger teenager. Now being an American football jock at a big name, NCAA Division I university should have even more girls throwing themselves at him.

Combine it with the fact that China was still backward at the time, and Japan had little reason to innovate. Likewise, at the start of the war, the Soviets weren't a whole lot better either, and the Japanese did have a dangerous superiority complex compounding it, due to the fact they were undefeated up until that point.
But on the whole for the Japanese officer corps, it was more Clauswitz then Sun Tzu. Same goes for the KMT National Revolutionary Army.
I'd also say that the British and French were also very different from the Americans. They both still used a WW1 approach to warfare, heavily based on infantry supported by armor and artillery, each precisely carrying out their component of a grander plan. The USA not so much.
Since WW2, however, their military doctrines have grown closer together, I'd say the modern US and UK armies work almost identically.

The Bailout Truth Squad throws a flag

In our relentless effort to protect the truth during an election year, the Auto Bailout Truth Squad has convened again this week.
Today we look at a story from Bloomberg on Wednesday that stemmed from a TV interview conducted with Harvey Golub, the former chairman of the bailed-out financial and insurance giant AIG.
Remember AIG? It once required a $182.3 billion government bailout -- more than twice the amount the feds used to bail out the entire U.S. auto industry in 2008-2009.
Golub, incredibly, complained that the Obama administration "violated every bankruptcy principle known to man" in the rescue of General Motors and Chrysler, Bloomberg's Craig Trudell wrote on Wednesday.
"One of the major elements of a bankruptcy is that debtors similarly situated get treated the same," Golub told Bloomberg Television. "They changed the rules and bailed out the unions, not the companies."
Golub, 73, who came to AIG after the bailout, now is chairman of Miller Buckfire, a New York investment banking and advisory firm that handles numerous large corporate bankruptcies. So he should know that Obama didn't approve the GM or Chrysler bailouts. Federal judges did, through due process well established in U.S. bankruptcy law.
"As nobody can seriously dispute, the only alternative to an immediate sale is liquidation," U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Robert Gerber wrote in July 2009 in approving the GM bailout plan, Bloomberg reported.
U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Arthur Gonzalez, who handled the Chrysler bailout plan with the government and Fiat S.p.A., wrote in his May 2009 approval that Chrysler "was faced with either accepting the Fiat Transaction or liquidating," the Bloomberg story said.
The truth is this: Federal bankruptcy judges approved the bailouts. Not GM. Not Chrysler. Not Obama. Not the UAW.
And lest it be forgotten in election year distortions, the only president who acted unilaterally in bailing out GM and Chrysler was a Republican named George W. Bush. His administration gave the automakers $17.4 billion -- without the approval of a Bankruptcy Court judge.

My Comments
The FamilySearch index to the Minnesota Will Records led me to the Minnesota Historical Society in St. Paul who kindly sent me a copy of my Great-grandfather's will for $40. A very nice note was added, saying that they do not have Probate Court case files and to look for them in the Lac qui Parle courthouse in Madison, Minnesota.
According to family notes, Great-grandfather Celim died 23 March 1898, just 11 days after this will was written. I should try to find a more formal source for his death.
My records would give the children named these ages when the will was written: George 25, Frank 23, Roy 19, Cora 16, and Willis 14. I'm surprised that Frank is not yet considered "of age." According to Clara's entry in the 1910 census, she had had a 6th child, but I don't have any additional data.
I would like to find land records for the family in South Dakota and Minnesota. I knew they were in South Dakota by 1884, but this will is the first indication I've seen for Minnesota. Big Stone City, South Dakota is directly across the state line from Lac qui Parle County, Minnesota.

Gun control was among the many issues President Obama and Mitt Romney addressed at Tuesday's debate in New York. Both candidates showed support for the 2nd Amendment -- though Reason's Jacob Sullum thought Obama's "acknowledgment of armed self-defense as a constitutional right" was "belated" and "halfhearted" -- but agreed that this country must curb its culture of gun violence.
When I was in Chicago recently, a rather candid cab driver told me his son had been killed on Chicago's streets. He said the city's mayor, Rahm Emanuel, promised to reduce violence when he was campaigning, but had failed to make good on his word. "Our kids are dying," my cab driver told me. In the city's toughest neighborhoods, he said it seems as though the cops don't arrive to the scene of the crime until after it's been cleaned up and the ambulance has driven away. They're afraid, he continued, guessing that the officers are reluctant to go into the bad neighborhoods for fear of being outnumbered by the criminals.
So on Tuesday, when audience member Nina Gonzalez asked President Obama what his administration has done or will do to limit the availability of assault weapons, I was pleased he widened the lens beyond AK-47s with his response.

CINCINNATI, Ohio (November 23, 2005) - The East Tennessee State women's basketball team suffered its first loss of the season Wednesday night, falling to Cincinnati, 82-58, in Fifth Third Arena. The Lady Bucs fall to 1-1 on the year, while the Bearcats improve to 2-0.
Senior B.J. Banjo (Baltimore, Md.) paced the Lady Bucs with 14 points, while classmate Candace Gibson (Warner Robins, Ga.) added 10 points, and a team-high nine rebounds. All 10 of Gibson's points came in the second half, while sophomore Kelly Turman (Atlanta, Ga.) poured in a season-high 10.
Cincinnati's Treasure Humphries led all scorers with 19 points, along with eight rebounds, while teammate Anne Stephens added 12.
The Lady Bucs entered the second half at a 25-point disadvantage, but both teams had problems taking care of the ball with the Bearcats turning the ball over seven times in the first eight minutes of the period, while the Lady Bucs gave it away six times. Turnovers were rampant throughout, with ETSU giving up 22, and CU with 21.
The second half was a better overall effort for the Lady Bucs, who outscored the Bearcats, 37-36, in the closing frame.
ETSU got within 20 with 9:55 to go behind a basket by Banjo and a three-pointer by Michele DeVault (Columbus, Ohio), to put the score at 59-40. The Bearcats responded with a quick score by Jill Stephens. Another three from DeVault left the Lady Bucs down 18, but Cincinnati rebounded, extending its lead back to 25 at 68-43.
The Bearcats led 46-21 at the half, behind 14 points from Humphries and 10 from Anne Stephens. Turman and Banjo paced the Lady Bucs with eight apiece. Turnovers were the story of the half, as ETSU gave it away 11 times, matching its game total from the previous outing at Mississippi State. Cincinnati took advantage, scoring 15 points off ETSU miscues.
ETSU started slow, coming up empty in their first nine trips down the floor, and turning the ball over on five possessions. The Bearcats were also sloppy at the start, committing three early miscues, but got out to the 8-0 lead in the first four minutes.
DeVault finally broke the ice for ETSU, sinking the back end of a pair of free throws, to make the score 13-1. DeVault added a 10-point effort on the evening. Banjo was the first Lady Buc to sink a field goal, draining a three at the 13:40 mark. The Bearcats had already increased the margin to double-digits by the second media break, leading 18-8.
The Bearcats kept the pressure on after the breather, with a quick three Humphries and a two-point bucket by Michelle Jones.
Turman gave the Lady Bucs a spark off the bench, hitting a short jumper and making a pair of free throws upon entering the game, but the Bearcats didn't relent, increasing the lead to 26-12, with just under eight minutes to go in the half.
The Lady Bucs will be in action again on Tuesday, Nov. 29, as they host Eastern Kentucky in the 2005-06 home opener. Game time is slated for 7 p.m. in Memorial Center.

Ramos: Real will keep fighting for title
Sergio Ramos says Real Madrid will fight for the La Liga crown despite claiming they have 'practically' dropped out of the title race.
Real had the chance to close within two points of league leaders and city rivals Atletico Madrid but could only draw 1-1 at third-bottom Real Valladolid on Wednesday, their second consecutive stalemate that was compounded by injuries to attacking duo Cristiano Ronaldo and Angel di Maria.
The result left Carlo Ancelotti's men in third spot, four points from the summit with two games remaining against Celta Vigo and Espanyol.
While Real's destiny is out of their hands, the club will continue to fight as long as they remain a mathematical chance of success, according to international defender Ramos.
"It's practically lost now, but whilst there's still a mathematical chance," said Ramos, who opened the scoring at the Estadio Municipal Jose Zorrilla. "Real Madrid are obliged to keep fighting.
"It's been a long season and the body can feel it now."
Real were on track to secure maximum points until Valladolid substitute Humberto Osorio struck five minutes from time.
The Colombian striker had only been on the field for 12 minutes when he levelled proceedings.
Ramos says his team-mates were punished for their lack of concentration during the closing stages.
"With 10 minutes to go, we've committed the sin of relaxing and against a side who are fighting for survival, who always make things difficult," the 28-year-old said.
"We were neglectful and they caught us out."
Meanwhile, veteran Real midfielder Xabi Alonso says he is 'annoyed' with the team following Wednesday's result that all but ended their title aspirations.
"It would take a few improbable results (to get us back in the title race) but let's wait and see," he said.
"The game was not in control, it was difficult, but I'm annoyed by everything, with the team and with ourselves because we failed to give importance to the final 45 minutes of the match."

Evan Peters
"I always just tell people, 'You've got to watch the show,' " says the actor, 24, who plays Tate, a troubled soul who slaughtered his high school classmates and – as of last week's episode – doesn't know he's dead, too. But Peters sympathizes with fans who are left wanting more each week. The cast members, who are currently still shooting season one, are just as eager for answers.
"It's the same for us – we're like, 'Give me the next script! Let's go, let's read!'" he says with a laugh. "We're a couple episodes ahead of viewers. I know what they're going through, it sucks. But I'm on lockdown. They'll find out."
The one thing he will reveal about what's to come the scary FX show? "It only gets worse."
Luckily, Peters was willing to give PEOPLE.com an inside look at the cast, the house, and why Jessica Lange doesn't bring her dog to set.
We can't imagine what a show like this one would look like on paper … what did you think when you first read the script?
It looked cool! It looked interesting and scary and it looked like a horror film, basically. I was intrigued by it and I was thinking, how they going to keep this going? It's with new twists and turns and closing storylines and opening new ones. It psychologically screws you. And it's a good kind of scary. It sticks with you.
What's the house like in person?
It's terrifying. It's a real house in L.A. that's old and creepy and there's actually a chapel connected to it. The whole atmosphere there is really terrifying. They built the inside of the house on the [sound] stages so you go there and it looks pretty identical.
How much do you shoot in the actual house?
We were there for the whole pilot, now just exterior shots. We heard some noises and stuff shooting but that's to be expected in a three-story house with an attic. It's just a creepy house, it's so terrifying, with that wood everywhere. I would never, ever want to live in that house.
Evan Peters, Jessica Lange and Frances Conroy
Ray Mickshaw / FX
What's the mood like on set? Some of the characters are very intense … does anyone stay in character the whole time?
Like Daniel Day-Lewis or something? No, the mood is cool and normal. I'd love to be crazy the whole time but I don't think it's possible to be Tate the whole time and be professional. Jessica Lange is a sweetheart, the nicest lady in the world. She has a Poodle named Jack.
If I had a dog I wouldn't bring him to this particular set …
Yeah, they might get thrown in a microwave or something.
Your storyline has been more intense by the episode, especially with last week's school shooting. What was that like to film?
It's a really sick, sad thing that happened. The problem is that it's not made up – I think that's why it's so disturbing. And there have been so many school shootings, not just Columbine. Such a terrible thing. That aside, it's very cool to go around and be totally insane, that's an actors dream. It was hard to do and a pretty intense experience but also fun and interesting to do.
Were you a horror movie fan before you got this role?
I wasn't a huge horror movie fan before because they kinda stress me out. Since working on the show I've definitely gotten into it a lot more and I have an appreciation for what's going on behind the scenes. I used to look at horror movies as being really real and it would totally freak me out and give me nightmares. Now I watch and think, whoa how'd they do that?
How has your family reacted to your character?
My mom can't watch it. My dad told her, "Don't ever watch [the school shooting] episode."
What's it been like for the cast to watch the show take off like this?
I don't think it's really hit. It hasn't hit me. I'm focused on getting this season done. I don't really know what's going on in the outside world!
So you don't have fans coming up to you on the street?
At the Blockbuster I go to, the guy was like, 'Dude, you're on American Horror Story. I love that show!' "

My apologies for the hiatus, have been stuck in the hamster wheel lately, but luckily there is some light at the end of the tunnel. In a bit over a month we are flying to Sydney! Or rather i should say we are going to Australia as we have friends and family all over the place that we are planning to visit, really cant wait and I am counting the days!
And then, a month and a half after Tokyo it is time for Moscow, I am a bit of a Russophile and I loved St. Petersburg so expectations are high. But this is May and quite far in the future, but I am so glad to have some travels lined up.
