Vigilance List
The New Moderate's Vigilance List for 2016
What do we moderates have to worry about? More than ever, naturally. 2015 was a banner year for extremists and, by extension, not such a good one for us.
I've been updating this list each year to reflect our current jitters. Last year's list ran to 19 items and more than 4,000 words, and I was about to add several new entries for 2016. Because I don't want my fellow moderates to wring their hands and gnash their teeth any more than necessary, I've consolidated many of the items and cut the verbiage so you can read the list without breaking for therapy. I've also dispensed with the references to the previous year's rank for each item — partly because of all the consolidations, and partly because there's no need for moderates to be fanatical about record-keeping. We're not fanatics, after all. Here goes…
1. Rising factionalism. We've become a nation of us-against-them, "my team is better than your team," "anyone who disagrees with me is stupid." And that's not only a stupid attitude but a dangerous one. What will it take to remind all those petty partisans, special-interest warriors, sowers of discord, promulgators of identity politics, subscribers to sacred narratives, and denizens of online amen corners that we're all Americans here… that the land is spacious and generous enough to accommodate a full spectrum of beliefs, and that we won't survive much longer as a nation unless we act like one? It's the United States… remember? Remedy: Try to see every issue from the other guy's perspective. (We moderates are good at this.) Don't borrow all your opinions from glib Internet memes and other sources that simply confirm your biases. We all need to start identifying as Americans instead of pledging our loyalty to whatever little ideological boutique promotes our own interests.
2. Islamic jihad and other forms of terrorism. Yes, terrorists come in all colors and persuasions, and homegrown nutjob terrorism is on the rise. But let's face it: the militant Islamists take top honors in this department. ISIS continues to murder innocents and destroy priceless historic monuments, and the would-be Caliphate has demonstrated an evil genius for enlisting young recruits around the world. We can't coexist peacefully with people who believe that God has called upon them to destroy us. Moderate Muslims aren't succeeding in stifling the terrorists, and the West can't constantly police the world. Remedy: A massive reformation within Islam to bring it into the 21st century, or at least the 17th or 18th. The bloodcurdling excesses of the terrorists could (and should) trigger such a movement among the majority of decent Muslims. Without it, we could be looking at a century of jihad.
3. The rule of moneyed interests. Call it plutocracy or oligarchy or capitalism on steroids — the bottom line is that a tiny, self-entitled, deep-pocketed elite is now firmly in charge of our government, our finances and ultimately our lives. The plutocracy continues to squeeze the middle class by manipulating markets, outsourcing jobs and adopting disruptive technologies without regard for the fate of workers. The yawning gap between meager interest rates on savings (paid to us) and exorbitant interest rates on credit (paid to the banks) is unconscionable. And of course, the plutocrats effectively own most of our politicians. This state of affairs is totally unacceptable within a representative democracy. Unless we correct it, we're headed toward a neo-feudal society of latter-day lords and serfs. Jousting, anyone? Remedy: Ban thinly veiled bribes by lobbyists (via Constitutional amendment if necessary), regulate the financial industry, get rid of corporate subsidies and tax loopholes, impose penalties on companies that move jobs away from the U.S. And yes, raise taxes on the rich — especially on income from passive capital gains.
4. The scariest presidential candidate field in living memory. Take your pick: a vulgar billionaire demagogue with narcissistic personality disorder, a couple of self-professed evangelical Christians who promote conservative theocracy while conveniently shunning the teachings of Jesus, a shrewd big-money beneficiary with a 25-year paper trail of questionable dealings and decisions, or a 74-year-old avowed "democratic socialist." When the socialist looks like the most appealing candidate, you know we're in trouble. Remedy: Draft a reform-minded, non-establishment moderate or hang in there for another four years, mates!
5. Militant political correctness. It's no longer about being considerate toward historically oppressed groups. That would be too easy. Now whites are routinely ordered to "check their privilege," even though you'd be hard-pressed to find privileged trailer-dwellers in Appalachia and elsewhere. An award-winning actress took heat because her feminist speech denied "intersectionality" — i.e., she failed to mention transgender women of color. Worst of all, we saw American college campuses, already bastions of anti-DWEM (dead white European male) bias, suddenly flare up as political correctness went all Bolshevik on us. College officials were forced to resign for not crusading against "microaggressions" like culturally inappropriate Halloween costumes. (Hide those sombreros, kiddies!) The oppressed have become the oppressors, and they're indoctrinating a new generation. Remedy: Encourage your kids to think for themselves and avoid professors with a reputation for militant PC. Just as important, let's use the PC warriors' own weapons and start calling them out for their hate speech.
6. The hollowing of the center. It used to be that more Americans thought of themselves as moderates than as liberals or conservatives. No more. Thanks to chronically biased news sources and online amen corners, as well as rising levels of anger, the percentage of self-styled moderates is dropping as more Americans migrate to the left and right (especially the right). It's bad enough that we moderates have precious few news sources and opinion-makers on our side… now those few bastions of sanity will be struggling to find an audience in a deeply polarized society. Remedy: Don't let anger distort your thinking. Keep the faith; never feel pressured by others to abandon your sensible beliefs. Support clear-thinking news outlets and columnists wherever you can find them. (And read The New Moderate, of course.)
7. Racial animosity. The race riots of 2014 and early 2015 eventually gave way to more peaceful demonstrations. But as the Black Lives Matter movement gained steam, so did unreasonable demands and provocations. Online message boards often teem with vile racial vitriol from both sides. Double standards abound: blacks get roughed up by police and incarcerated more often than whites for the same offenses; on the other hand, blacks are allowed (even encouraged) to criticize whites, while there's still a strict social taboo against whites criticizing blacks. Sometimes I wonder if blacks and whites will ever be able to coexist amicably in this society. Remedy: Make an effort to see members of other races as individuals instead of symbols. Even better, make friends with members of other races. Maybe the time has come for us to stop referring to each other as blacks and whites, as if we're destined by nature to be opposites.
8. American gun culture. I felt impelled to add this item after reading that more Americans have been killed by guns since 1968 — approximately 1.5 million — than in all our wars combined. (Granted, many of those fatalities were suicides, but still… ) Radical white militias are on the rise, mass shootings have become commonplace, and our inner cities are essentially war zones. America's highest per-capita gun fatalities actually occur in the "red" states, where gun culture is strongest. Despite the bloodshed, the powerful NRA lobby and Second Amendment diehards still scream whenever anyone mentions tightening access to guns through background checks. Remedy: Guns don't kill people, but bullets do. With over 300 million guns already in circulation, it makes more sense to restrict access to ammunition — especially semi-automatic cartridges whose only purpose is to dispatch dozens of victims as quickly and efficiently as possible. Let's make it happen.
9. The "Great Demographic Shift." People of color now account for more than 50 percent of U.S. births. School dropout rates and other endemic social problems will doom a hefty percentage of these new babies to poverty. At the other end of the age spectrum, Americans are living longer and will require decades of subsidies to get by. How will a shrinking middle class support all these needy Americans and still provide enough funds to maintain our infrastructure? Remedy: I'd encourage middle-class and wealthy Americans to procreate more freely (Hey, it's fun!) to build up the taxpayer base. But I'd also recommend higher taxes (they're practically at historic lows) and drastic cuts in foreign aid and military spending to open up resources for urgent domestic needs.
10. Environmental destruction. Climate change denialists, take note: 15 of the hottest 16 years on record have occurred since 2000. The only question is how much of the change is caused by human activity. Whatever the cause, we need to take prompt action unless we'd like to see massive crop failures, extensive lowland flooding and seaports that look like Venice. (Not that there's anything wrong with Venice.) On top of that, the world has lost half of its nonhuman animal population since 1970. Developing nations like Indonesia and Brazil account for much of the destruction as they convert forest to farmland. Several East Asian nations must be held accountable for the wanton poaching of critically endangered wildlife for ivory and folk medicine. Finally, as more Third World nations aspire to middle-class status, they'll be fighting us for use of the Earth's limited resources. Eventually we'll realize that we've ransacked a wondrous planet, but by then it will be too late. (And we're not equipped to start colonizing distant planets just yet.) Remedy: Work with other governments toward establishing and enforcing sensible environmental regulations, because the Earth belongs to all of us. Poachers deserve to be shot on sight, and it's time for East Asian scientists to perform experiments demonstrating the worthlessness of folk medicines derived from endangered creatures.
11. The immigration/refugee crisis. Yes, it's honorable and humane to admit desperate people into our country; after all, the Statue of Liberty has been welcoming the huddled masses for well over a century. But mass immigration from a single group has permanent consequences. In the U.S., it means absorbing countless millions of impoverished Spanish-speaking peasants from Mexico and Central America. Will they assimilate, learn English and join the middle class? They might if we didn't make it so easy for them to get by in Spanish. We're now a de facto bilingual nation. In Europe, mass Muslim immigration is changing the nature of thousand-year-old cities and cultures. Like the Latinos, Muslim immigrants have resisted assimilation. In some cities they form a surly internal proletariat, and their numbers keep increasing. What if half the population of the Third World decided to migrate to the U.S. and Europe? There has to be a sane limit. Last year saw the mass exodus of refugees from Muslim war zones, and our rich petro-pals on the Persian Gulf didn't lift a finger to help. Remedy: A thorny issue with no satisfactory solutions. For now: offer temporary shelter visas for the most desperate, impose limits on permanent immigration, use leverage to force the Arab states to accept refugees, and (in the U.S.) make English our official language once and for all.
12. Perpetual low-grade recession. Wealth isn't trickling down, good jobs aren't opening up, and I've simply come to accept our current doldrums as the "new normal." Meanwhile, corporations are still exporting jobs with impunity and too many Americans are sinking deeper into debt and dejection. Companies today focus more on beating the next quarterly forecast than on the needs of their own people. At this point we might just be witnessing the American future: prosperity for the few, unending financial woes for everyone else. Remedy: More hiring of Americans by corporations currently sitting atop piles of cash… NOW, not later. Fear not, capitalists: give enough Americans decent jobs, and the money will trickle back up in the form of healthy consumer spending.
13. Police brutality. Here's a sobering wake-up call: American cops killed more citizens in one month last year than British police have done in all the years since the death of Queen Victoria in 1901. Sure, American cops have to deal with society's low-lifes on a daily basis. Any cop with an inner-city beat is instinctively primed for life-or-death confrontations, and the prevailing "no snitching" culture makes their job even more difficult. But (and it's a big "but") they also need to be seen as a positive force in their communities. There are too many trigger-happy cops who use lethal force to stop suspects (especially black suspects) who simply resist arrest. When there's a disturbance, they swoop in like an army of occupation. This isn't the sort of behavior that builds trust. Remedy: Deeper engagement between cops and their communities. Police need to be vigilant but not aggressive… find alternatives to lethal force… define themselves as protectors rather than hired thugs. If all goes well, the residents of these neighborhoods might open up to their local cops instead of putting up resistance.
14. Cultural degeneracy. When did Western culture become an exercise in pushing the proverbial envelope — and how much farther can they push it? Movies, TV, pop music, video games, high art and everyday behavior have combined to forge a cheap and often loathsome culture. Nobody reads the classics. On top of that, we've become selfish and narcissistic… the "what's in it for me?" mentality has spread from Wall Street to the boondocks. Bullying and cheating abound. It's not enough to succeed; others must be crushed. Do I believe in having fun? Absolutely. (This isn't The New Puritan, after all.) But we also need to restore respect for the nobler virtues, or we'll crumble, as the Romans did, from internal and external assaults that we're too weak to withstand. Do I sound like an alarmist? You bet. Remedy: Beats me. Sometimes I think Western civilization at its apex was simply too demanding and rarefied for our species to maintain for any length of time. We're slowly reverting to our simian roots, which may be lamentable but probably suits our natures. Still, if you have standards, don't surrender them!
15. Deficit spending. Our government is spending more than it's taking in (Greece, anybody?), and the Republican majority would rather cut benefits for the 99% than reduce the military budget or (God forbid) raise taxes. This past year it became evident that the credit crisis is a global issue, and that, if unresolved, the whole system could come crashing down on top of us. Remedy: All governments, including ours, need to stop living beyond their means. Here's a start, at least in the U.S.: slash military spending and foreign aid. Trim those plush federal pensions, beginning with members of the House and Senate. Trim redundant welfare programs, too (if we offer food stamps, do we also need free lunches?). Stop state-sponsored corporate welfare in the form of bailouts and subsidies. Collect a fair share of taxes from huge corporations and the super-rich. No loopholes. No compromises.
That's my list for 2016, and it should be more than enough to rouse our fellow moderates from their slumber. Share this list so your friends of all political persuasions can see it. And feel free to propose your own additions to the list. I'd like to hear from you.

Yes, I agree with every word you write (almost) but where are my brother moderates? Why don't they show themselves? As David Broder sadly passed, if David Brooks were to pass that would mean the extinction of nationally known moderate columnists, although William Raspberry is still alive, but sadly, no longer writing.

I am so happy that I did a google search for Moderate blogs. I've spent the last couple of hours reading your articles, lists, and comments. It seems to good to be true: reasonable thinking, reasonable discussions, and a great group of readers. For the last several years I've gone to HuffPo, and Hot Air, hoping to discern some truth in between. But, every time I start to read the comments I know I'm only five minutes away from Nihilism.
I would like to call this my new home. Thank you Rick for your effort. I look forward to some great ethical debates, but not because I want to persuade others to my position, rather, I need others to help me determine what my position is.

It is time to eliminate financial support for all political parties. Two alternative solutions. First change all primary elections to be open and the top two from any party would face off against each other in the general election. In the general election the more moderate candidate would win in most areas. In my county whoever wins the republican primary (typically the more radical candidate) wins the general election. In the largest county of our state the it favors more radical democrats. A second alternative would be consensus voting. Again the party of the candidates would not matter and a moderate would probably win. This would also eliminate the primary election that does not positively contribute to society.

Take the money out of politics, not new by any means, I think you would have a very difficult time make it fly, kind of like pigs flying.
March 1, 2013 9:29 pm
My #20 – Religious people who won't call people to honest introspection AND genuine repentance on BOTH sides of the political equation. We who are religious (I'm Christian) have a unique niche in society: We can (with careful righteousness) call people to repent AND yet NOT condemn-to-the-point-of-exclusion AND offer genuine forgiveness and model reconciliation. But way too many of us only want to condemn those with whom we disagree, and dismissively call them ideologues. (As if we never look in a mirror.)
Ron permalinkNovember 19, 2013 12:35 pm
I am surprised that overpopulation has not made your list. When I was born … 1945 … 3.5 billion people … Today … 2013 … 7 billion people. The world population has doubled in one life time. Even if you eliminated all forms of transportation and modern devices, you would have a lot more people cutting down forests and burning logs for cooking and heating. Will we have 14 billion humans in 2100. That would be scary.

Backward running hits Manchester in just 1 month
The 3rd UK Backward Run is taking place in Heaton Park, Manchester on Sunday 27th May. No other sport could possibly lay claim to be as humorous, as tough, as exciting, as contagious, as healthy or as entertaining all at once.
Many people have participated in 10k races or Race for Life and are looking for a new fitness challenge. The UK Backward Run offers a fun new race to try out with backward running experiences suitable for absolutely everyone. For those who just want to experience the backward running concept without the pressures of competing there is a '1 mile charity backward fun run and walk' in aid of local community charity Forever Manchester, or for the fitness enthusiast looking for their next challenge there are 1 mile races for men, women and seniors.
The present World, UK & London Backward Running Champion, Garret Doherty will be taking part. He completed the 1 mile course in a blistering 7 minutes 06 seconds last year, which is faster than most people can run the same distance forwards.
Sally Raynes, Wacky Nation's Event Director says: "With charities receiving much less funding, we wanted to create a fun running event for people to get fit and support local charities too. We hope lots of people are just up for trying out this new challenge and simply giving it a go."
"We are excited for our charity to be getting involved and showcasing to the world Manchester's positive community spirit. In our opinion, we are looking forwards by going backwards," added Forever Manchester spokesman Terry Snowden.
Backward running, also known as reverse running and retro running also has amazing health benefits and is considered a super-exercise. Research has shown that backward running has massive potential in areas of fitness, well-being and rehabilitation. If you're looking to reduce the risk of knee injury, seeking to lose weight or reduce back problems, backward running could be for you. In fact there are 100 reasons to try backward running with benefits to the body and mind (see below for twenty five of these). Just once a week, the long-term benefits could be amazing. What do you have to lose?
Good luck and once you start, you may never look back again - or should that be forward?
For more information on this event visit the race website at www.reverserunning.com

How do you run backwards?
Choose a flat, wide running surface free of potholes. Identify a distance of 50m to 100m in a straight line and walk it first to check for dips or rocks. From the starting point, the basic technique is to keep your shoulders over your feet, hold your arms close and low to the body, push off from the balls of your feet and avoid lifting your feet too far off the ground. Your heels should very slightly skim the surface before you push off again with the forefoot. Try it! The first thing you will notice is that you're hitting the ground with a toe to heel foot strike, with an increased stride rate and decreased stride length. The motion will feel smoother and less jarring and you will be running taller with a healthier posture.
What's more, the bulk of the propulsion now comes from the quadriceps. As you grow more confident, widen your stride and add some speed and extend your distance.
Beginners often find it helpful to run with a partner. As one runs backwards over a short distance, the other runs forwards.
Here are 15 reasons to take up backward running (We have collated 100 reasons in total!). It's your choice whether to try running backwards.
1. Running backwards works the muscles that forward running (unless you do hill work) doesn't touch i.e. calves, shins and muscles of the front thigh
2. Gentler running style (forefoot hits ground first) with elimination of 'heel to toe' foot striking which means less pounding
3. Backward running burns up to a third more calories than forward running
4. Backward running gives your abs a workout. When you run forward, your lower back takes most of the load, but turning around creates a nice reaction for your abdominal muscles whilst the lower back gets some respite.
5. Studies have also shown that over time backward running can lead to realigned vertebrae and relieve pressure on the nerves. This is because the back is in partial extension when we run backwards. Whatever we do in our lives we are usually hunched forward. May not be an issue now, but it will be as you get older so start undoing all those years of back abuse now.
6. It's a great knee rehabilitative exercise because it can maintain an athlete's fitness whilst minimising the impact at the knee joint – because there's no eccentric loading of the knee joint, so prevalent in forward locomotion.
7. Backward running is perfect for runners with bad biomechanics. Remember there's no heel striking negating the effects of over-pronation or over-supination which therefore significantly reduces the force related trauma.
8. Backward running will benefit your performance in other sports where backtracking/
9. Higher heart rate because more muscle groups are used, especially the quadriceps and your feet hit the ground more quickly and more often (but with less force related trauma) than in forward running. Flynn et al (1994) showed that for a given pace, heart rate increased by 15% when running backward compared with forward.
10. Great way to cool down at the end of a session – backward running reduces heart rate and stretches leg muscles.
11. Backward running will improve your balance and co-ordination. Is backward running the ultimate wobble board?
12. Improves your peripheral vision
13. Improves your proprioception – which is the body's ability to sense movement within joints and joint position
14. Backward running strengthens the glute muscles (buttocks). You will feel a squeeze in the buttocks as you run
15. Could save your life when faced with an angry a bull in a field and you need to quickly back-pedal tout de suite. Not as silly as it sounds.
For a balanced article there are a few drawbacks to backward running, but you will be hard pressed to find any other exercise that claims such a favourable benefits to risk ratio. Yes, you may get laughed at and you may fall over a few times (these can actually become benefits too). You may also run out of excuses for posting bad times since backward running sorts out all those niggles. On a serious note, runners with serious Achilles tendon problems should avoid backward running which may increase the stress on the tendon. Also, anyone suffering with wrist injuries or stiff necks should also lay off trying the sport until they have recovered.

Concrete reconstruction of Interstate 65's "busiest two miles" in Alabama was completed in January. The work required the erection of a portable batch plant onsite to produce the required concrete for the pavement, and used about 75,000 cubic yards of concrete and 750,000 pounds of reinforcing steel. In addition, a 10,000-linear-foot permanent concrete barrier wall was constructed and 7,000 linear feet of RCP storm sewer was installed.

Please don't confuse the viewers, Windows Phone doesn't have multitasking, it has fast app switching which is way different. i.e. you can't have RunKeeper tracking your route in the background while you are using Foursquare. You can't have a sound recorder active while you go use the calculator and so on and so on.
@mdonatas: I will clarify. WP does have multi-tasking, just not necessarily FULL multi-tasking. Some apps, like music playing apps, can continue to run in the background. But, most apps will actually be idle in the background, but ready to resume right where I left it when I switch back to it. Apps in the background can still update Live Tiles on the Start Screen, or receive push notifications.
Holding down the back button opens up access to the multitasking apps. They appear as thumbnails--I can swipe back and forth to see what's running and tap the app I want to open.
I think I found an issue (I will not call it bug) and would like
to report it to Microsoft. (Full of hope to get it fixed somnehow ;) )
But there seems to be no way to do it.
On http://connect.microsoft.com/ there is no chance to select
Windows Phone 7.5 (Mango) .
Is there any other way to report it ?
I saw the title "back it on up" and I thought sweet I have been wondering how to backup of my WP7 on demand however I was sadly mistaken to find the topic was about using the hardware back button – sad.
yap!!! that what I thought

The Men Who Stare At GoatsBy: Jon Ronson (author)eBook
In 1979 a secret unit was established by the most gifted minds within the US Army. Defying all known military practice - and indeed the laws of physics - they believed that a soldier could adopt a cloak of invisibility, pass cleanly through walls, and, perhaps most chillingly, kill goats just by staring at them.
They were the First Earth Battalion. And they really weren't joking. What's more, they're back and fighting George Bush's War on Terror. Often funny, sometimes chilling and always thought-provoking, journalist Jon Ronson's Sunday Times bestseller The Men Who Stare at Goats is a story so unbelievable it has to be true.

Joe Posnanski didn't really believe that Billy Beane has thrown over baseball for soccer, couldn't believe it ... until he noticed that Daric Barton, Oakland's first baseman and best hitter (which isn't saying much, but bear with us) has nine sacrifice hits this season ...
I had to read this paragraph about nine times — one for each sac bunt. Daric Barton, the team's first baseman, is leading the league in sacrifice bunts? For the Oakland A's? And he's doing it by moving runners SECOND TO THIRD with NOBODY OUT? And EVERYBODY IS HAPPY ABOUT IT? (That's Barty," hitting coach Jim Skaalen said. "Team first, a professional in all areas"). What in the hell is going on over there in the Bay Area?
Apparently, Barton has been sacrifice bunting on his own ... nobody is asking him to do it. Nobody, not even the craziest bunting manager on earth, would ask him to bunt in the situations he's been bunting:
Holy $#@$!%. Somebody tell that man to stop doing that immediately. Holy #@!$#@$. Seven of his league-leading nine sacrifice bunts were, just as he said, bunting a runner from second to third with nobody out. This isn't just a waste of an out, it's crumpling an out, stomping on it with disdain, and then purposely not putting it into the recycle bin. Why would you do this? There's no double play in order. A single might score the run. According to the BaseballProspectus Run Matrix, bunting a runner from second to third reduces a team's run expectation level from 1.09 runs to .93 runs.
But it gets much worse. Five of the nine sacrifice bunts were done in the FIRST INNING.
These days, nobody bunts much ... and the teams that do bunt might surprise you. In the American League, the two buntingest teams are the Rangers and the A's, neither of them strangers to the reams of data suggesting that sacrifice bunts are pointless (at best).
But the numbers are so small that 1) one player can make a big difference, and 2) there's little effect on scoring, generally. To the first point, I'll note that Barton has nine of Oakland's 22 sacrifice hits, and Elvis Andrus has nine of the Rangers' 24. To the second point, I'll simply suggest that nine sacrifice hits, even by your best hitter in odd situations, probably isn't going to cost you, theoretically speaking, more than two or three runs.
Granted, you don't want to give away two or three runs because you never know when two or three runs will be the difference between October and non-October; it's rare, but it does happen. Which makes me wonder if two or three runs is simply the price that Billy Beane (and Bob Geren) is willing to pay for non-conformity.
Billy Beane once said to me -- actually, he might have said it more than once -- "When everybody's zigging, I like to zag."
There might be a corollary to that, though. Something like, "When everybody's saying I like to zig, I zag."
Maybe Daric Barton just got a crazy idea in his head that the best hitter on the team should give himself up every so often, and his manager just didn't want to discourage that sort of selfless (if counter-productive) thinking. And maybe the manager's boss really is so obsessed with the Premier League and now the World Cup to put a stop to it. But I can't help wondering whether the general manager is sitting back right now, and chortling about our inability to figure out what the holy $#@$!% he's doing.

It was at night.
Takashi Jun should have been in bed, at home, all the way back in Hokkaido. But he wasn't. Instead, he was fighting. Far away. Against the American troops. He wasn't aware at the time, that his platoon of soldiers was one of the last left at Iwo Jima.
Jun was sitting on the floor. He thumbed the many pages of letter sent to him from his family and friends awaiting his safe arrival. But Jun had no confidence he was to live. Infact, he was almost certain he would meet a sticky end.
'To my beloved Onee-San! I hope you are safe!! Come back soon! Mamma and Papa want you to come home too!' read one of the letters from his little sister. Oh how he missed her! And his beloved Natsuki-chan would be standing at the front gate, her radiant face beaming at him, as he took his first steps home. They had gotten married a few months before Jun left.
The sakura tree in his front yard would be in full blossom, and his father would be clearing out the garden. "A healthy garden brings happiness to all!" he always said. Jun was positive of that. Here, there was nothing but several burnt trees.
And the food! The great food back at Hokkaido! Mother's Ishikari-nabe (salmon dish cooked with miso) was so fantastic, and compared to the rotten plants they were given here to eat-- fish would be the food of the gods!
Jun put away the letters. It broke his heart that he might never see his hometown after this. For 19 long and wonderful years, he enjoyed living a carefree life. Now, every single day he would lose a friend to land mines, bombs and gun shots. Jun's best friend; Makino Jiro was stabbed with a bayonet by some stupid American teenager.
But Jun liked to keep optimistic. His chance of surviving this dastardly ordeal was about 0.5% of 100, but ther was still hope!
Jun didn't realise time had passed so quickly. It was already 3 a.m. and time for him to get up and out to set up more mines.
"Private 2nd Class Takashi, get your lazy butt off the floor and get fighting!" bellowed one of the Lieutenant Generals.
That was Jun's que to leave the trenches. Oh well. Just another day. Fighting and fighting.
NOTE: At the battle of Iwo Jima, not a single soul survived. Takashi is a fictional character that I made up (well, that's what fictional means right? :P)

i just realised that what i said about the American teenager may have been offensive! it really wasn't supposed to be that way! I was just trying to make it seem like it was coming from the perspective of young Japanese soldier. I did not mean for it to hurt any body's feelings!!

Jack the Ripper
The name 'Jack the Ripper' has become the most infamous in the annals of murder. Yet, the amazing fact is that his identity remains unproven today.
The Suspects
The Crimes
What's in a name?
Almost certainly the one single reason for the enduring appeal of this rather sordid series of prostitute murders is the name Jack the Ripper.
The Hype and the Press Speculation
Panic was at its height and the notoriety of the murders was becoming truly international, appearing in newspapers from Europe to the Americas.

Feldman Architecture was recently charged with repairing, modernizing, and expanding a dilapidated but historic 1860s cottage in San Francisco's Bernal Heights neighborhood. The architects added a kitchen/study to the rear of the structure to create a light, airy modernist home that retains the rustic charm of the original cottage. We find the mix of rough wood and stone mixed with clean glass and metal particularly appealing.

I couldn't have found a better place to stay.Would Recommend
The Babbacombe Hotel was an excellent stay. I viewed other places prior and they were twice the price. I couldn't have found a better place to stay. The rooms were well presented, large and clean. The service was brilliant from evey member of the family. I have relatives in Torquay and when I visit them from London in the future, I will only stay at the Babbacome. My visit will work around the dates of their availability for rooms. Great breakfast and the property itself is a great building. Read more

Traditional toys and gifts to fill Santa's sack over technology gifts this Christmas
Nine out of ten primary and secondary school children to receive traditional gifts and half (51%) of these children also will receive a high tech gift
A survey conducted byExtreme Networks (http://www.extremenetworks.com/)
Top five Christmas presents for primary school aged children
1. Books (67%)
2. Traditional games (57%)
3. Outdoor and sports equipment (27%)
4. Computer games, apps and software (27%)
5. Action figures (27%)
Top five Christmas presents for secondary school aged children
1. Books (51%)
2. Money and vouchers (44%)
3. Fashion and beauty items (43%)
4. Computer games, apps and software (29%)
5. Traditional games (17%)
Books are clearly the biggest sellers this Christmas across both primary and secondary school children. Dolls (16%) and cuddly toys (14%) came in at places six and seven on the list, with smartphones proving to be the least popular (1%).
The only technology gifts that factor in these top five lists are computer games, applications and software. Hardware such as iPads, tablet computers, e-readers and smartphones appear much further down the lists. In fact, despite books being top, eReaders (4%) only feature at number seven in the league table for secondary school children. However, it is worth considering that those children are expecting money and vouchers (44%) that may well go on to spend these on higher cost technology items.
Top five technology presents for primary school aged children
1. Computer games, apps and software (27%)
2. iPad or tablet computer (11%)
3. Games console (8%)
4. MP3 player (6%)
5. eReaders e.g. Kindle (5%)

1. Computer games, apps and software (29%)
2. iPad or tablet computer (11%)
3. Smartphone (7%)
4. Laptop (7%)
5. Games console (6%)
Top five presents for parents
1. Fashion and beauty items (e.g. clothes) (62%)
2. Books (48%)
3. Money/vouchers (28%)
4. Other electrical items e.g. cameras (27%)
5. iPad or tablet computer (18%)
Although electronics retailers are in for a bumper season with 18 percent of parents hoping for an iPad or tablet computer, it seems that what parents want most of all is to feel pampered with some new clothes and cosmetics and a good read.
Charlotte Gurney, mother of Harry, aged 5 and Rosie aged 3, commented:
"We're buying both of our children a real mixture of presents this year. Rosie is getting an iPad Mini as her main present and Harry is getting a bicycle as he got an iPad Mini last Christmas. However, aside from these main presents, their stockings and sacks will be full of traditional toys such as the Peppa Pig Snakes and Ladders floor game, Star Wars action figures, the Barbie Doll Camper Van and a Flying Fairy.
"I think it is important that children are comfortable with technology at a young age and Harry already uses his iPad to help learn his phonics, shape sorting and counting. However, Christmas would not be Christmas without books and toys – the kind of presents I remember from my own childhood Christmases."
She concludes: "As for my husband and I, most of all we're hoping for some peace and quiet and a few large glasses of wine on Christmas Day. If I find some clothes vouchers and perfume in my stocking, it will be a bonus."
The survey commissioned by Extreme Networks, had 900 respondents, representing nearly 2,000 children. The survey ran for one week in Oct/Nov 2013 and was circulated by Mumsnet.com to its research panel.

Serves eight, with plenty of leftovers.
Yields 1 cup pistou.
You may need to call your butcher to reserve the lamb shanks for this sustaining bean soup.
If using dried beans, rinse and soak them overnight in cold water. Drain. Cover with cold water by 2 inches. Bring to a boil over medium heat, simmer 15 minutes, drain, and set aside.
In a stockpot that's wide enough to fit the lamb shanks on their sides (or a skillet), brown the shanks well in the olive oil on all sides. Add 3 quarts cold water to the pot. Bring to a boil, uncovered, and thoroughly skim the foam from the surface. Add the salt, garlic, and one-third of the tomatoes (about 2 cups). If using dried shell beans, add them now. Adjust the heat to a simmer and cook for 45 minutes. Add the squash, onions, carrots, green beans, zucchini, the remaining 4 cups tomatoes, and the shell beans, if using fresh. Bring the pot to a boil. Lower the heat and continue to simmer until the lamb meat is very tender, the beans are soft, and the soup has developed a velvety texture, about 2 to 2-1/2 hours more. Remove the shanks and pull the meat from the bones. Cut the meat into small pieces and return them to the soup.
Meanwhile, make the pistou: With a mortar and pestle (or in a food processor), mash the garlic and salt. Add the basil and work to a paste. Work in the Parmigiano. Slowly mix in the oil to bind the sauce. Taste for salt.
When you're ready to serve the soup, bring it to a boil and add the pasta. Cook at a light boil until the pasta is tender, about 10 minutes. The soup should be thick, but if it's too thick, add hot water. Taste for salt and serve with a dollop of pistou stirred into each bowl.

I made this afghan as a gift for my wonderful Mom's 80th birthday. It is based on an afghan that my mother-in-law made many years ago and that my mother always admired. Unfortunately, I didn't have a pattern so tried to duplicate it as best as I could. It took some trial and error, but I was really happy with the result and Mom loved it!
I used 3 colors of acrylic yarns so that it could be easily washed and dried - cream, a multi color and an accent color - and a size H hook. It is mostly single crochet with two special stitches.
Back Cross Stitch: Skip next st, dc in next st, insert hook from back to front in skipped st, dc
Spike Stitch: Insert hook one or more rows below the corresponding next st, under the horizontal threads, but between the nearby posts, YO, pull up a loop

This featured quilt is by Jennifer Stevens from Holcomb, Kansas.
""Oh boy…". That's how I started this quilt, and that's how I ended this quilt!! I had never really done paper piecing before—only bits here and there—and I apparently hadn't done it correctly. Seeing this pattern was a little scary but the instructions in Quiltmaker made my job easier. I used fat quarters from Robert Kaufman for this project. They're called A La Maison by Terri Conrad Designs." -Jennifer

June 2014
Excellent tour just the 4 on a private tour and the guide was excellent
April 2014
This was a fantastic private tour definitely the best way to do a tour! My friends and I had a wonderful tour guide, Heinz, a perfect gentleman who was very polite and had plenty of patience as he showed three senior ladies around his lovely city. He even was willing to wait whilst we did a little souvenir shopping.
We were unable to do the cable car ride due circumstances beyond his control but the cog wheel train ride was a unique experience and thoroughly enjoyable'. Jean one of three happy customers.

Why is it that whenever someone quotes the Bible accurately, people get all up in arms about it? The most recent examples are the comments of Phil Robertson of "Duck Dynasty" and Pastor Nolton.
The word of God is the final authority, no matter whether people like it or not. Sadly, many people don't like what God's word says, or agree with it, but that's their prerogative.
Jesus said, "Wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it."

1. Re: WIFI: Can't Connect to the Store, But Can Browse Webroustabout Dec 10, 2011 8:01 AM (in response to kbeers)
Can't tell if this issue resolved or not, but you're right, it's not common.
Recently there seem to be intermittent problems accessing the shop at all, so it may be that you're able to access it again because something on the BN side started working again?
There was someone who was seeing an issue with a cellular / wifi hotspot (something like a mifi) who was able to use the internet, but not the shop. My take on that was that the cellular vendor was doing something unusual with a proxy that broke shop access, but I don't know that it was ever truly resolved.
One thing I'd be curious to hear, if you are still having the problem, is what happens if you install the Nook app on a computer and register it to the same email address your nook color is using- is the computer-based program able to search the shop? I tend to guess that it would be, and if so, if you buy a book using it, are you able to download the book to your PC? Does your NC hear about the book being in your library and present it for download? If so, is the NC actually able to download the book?
As a workaround, if the computer can download books but the NC still can't, you can copy the book file from your computer to the NC. Books that are registered to the same account can be read on both the NC and computer, and the files can just be copied straight across. On a Windows box, the files on the computer are stored in your

About Depeche Mode
Originally a product of Britain's new romantic movement, Depeche Mode went on to become the quintessential electro pop band of the 1980s. One of the first acts to establish a musical identity based completely around the use of synthesizers, they began their existence as a bouncy dance-pop outfit but gradually developed a darker, more dramatic sound that ultimately positioned them as one of the most successful alternative bands of their era.
The roots of Depeche Mode date to 1976, when Basildon, England-based keyboardists Vince Clarke and Andrew Fletcher first teamed to form the group No Romance in China. The band proved short-lived, and by 1979 Clarke had formed French Look, another duo featuring guitarist/keyboardist Martin Gore; Fletcher soon signed on, and the group rechristened itself Composition of Sound. Initially, Clarke handled vocal chores, but in 1980 singer David Gahan was brought in to complete the lineup. After one final name change to Depeche Mode, the quartet members jettisoned all instruments excluding their synthesizers, honing a slick, techno-based sound to showcase Clarke's catchy melodies.
After building a following on the London club scene, Depeche Mode debuted in 1980 with "Photographic," a track included on the Some Bizzare Album label compilation. After signing to Mute Records, they issued "Dreaming of Me" in early 1981; while neither the single nor its follow-up, "New Life," caused much of a stir, their third effort, "Just Can't Get Enough," became a Top Ten U.K. hit, and their 1981 debut LP, Speak and Spell, was also a success. Just as Depeche Mode appeared poised for a major commercial breakthrough, however, principal songwriter Clarke abruptly exited to form Yazoo with singer Alison Moyet, leaving the group's future in grave doubt.
As Gore grabbed the band's songwriting reins, the remaining trio recruited keyboardist Alan Wilder to fill the technological void created by Clarke's departure. While 1982's A Broken Frame deviated only slightly from Depeche Mode's earlier work, Gore's ominous songs grew more assured and sophisticated by the time of 1983's Construction Time Again. Some Great Reward, issued the following year, was their artistic and commercial breakthrough, as Gore's dark, kinky preoccupations with spiritual doubt ("Blasphemous Rumours") and psychosexual manipulation ("Master and Servant") came to the fore; the egalitarian single "People Are People" was a major hit on both sides of the Atlantic and typified the music's turn toward more industrial textures.
Released in 1986, the atmospheric Black Celebration continued the trend toward grim melancholy and further established the group as a commercial force; it eventually sold over 500,000 copies in the U.S., which earned it gold status. Released in 1987, Music for the Masses, featuring three Hot 100 singles in "Strangelove," "Never Let Me Down Again," and "Behind the Wheel," propelled the group into the mainstream. The album would sell over a million copies in the U.S. alone. A subsequent sold-out tour yielded the 1989 double live set 101. Recorded at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, California, it was accompanied by a concert film directed by the legendary D.A. Pennebaker.
With the alternative music boom of the early '90s, Depeche Mode emerged as one of the world's most successful acts. The triple-platinum Violator, released in 1990, was a Top Ten smash that spawned the hits "Personal Jesus" (a number eight single), "Enjoy the Silence," "Policy of Truth," and "World in My Eyes." Their 1993 LP Songs of Faith and Devotion -- featuring a significant change in its heavy use of electric guitars -- entered the charts in the number one slot. However, at the peak of its success, the group began to unravel, beginning with Wilder's 1995 exit. Gahan attempted to take his own life and later entered a drug rehabilitation clinic to battle an addiction to heroin.
After a four-year layoff, Depeche Mode continued onward as a trio and released 1997's Ultra, which featured the hits "Barrel of a Gun" and "It's No Good." A year later, the band embarked on a tour in support of its newly released hits album, The Singles 86>98. Depeche Mode played 64 shows in 18 countries for over one million fans. Each member took some considerable time off after the tour's completion, and Depeche Mode would not regroup for another three years.
Exciter, the band's follow-up to Ultra, was released in 2001, with the singles "Dream On" and "I Feel Loved" finding moderate success on international radio outlets. Two years later, Gahan issued his debut solo album, the dark and sultry Paper Monsters. Gore also followed suit by issuing the all-covers Counterfeit², a full-length sequel to his similarly themed 1989 EP. Each member supported his work with respective tours of the U.S. and Europe; however, the bandmembers soon resumed working together, and Playing the Angel, their 11th studio album, became a Top Ten hit upon its release in October 2005. Produced by Ben Hillier (Doves, Blur, U2, Elbow) and studded with singles like "Precious" and "John (The Revelator)," it topped the album charts in 18 countries and went multi-platinum and/or gold in 20 countries. Depeche Mode went on to play for more than two and a half million fans worldwide, and the 2006 video release Touring the Angel: Live in Milan captured one of the band's greatest shows.
Sounds of the Universe, also made with the assistance of Ben Hillier, arrived in early 2009 and debuted at number three in the U.S. The 2013 release of Delta Machine made for a trilogy of Hillier albums, while the album was mixed by longtime Depeche associate Flood. The concert film and album Live in Berlin (directed by Anton Corbijn from a late-2013 show) followed in November 2014. The band returned in early 2017 with their 14th studio effort, Spirit. The album's material was largely inspired by the controversial outcome of the 2016 U.S. Presidential Election and was produced by Simian Mobile Disco's James Ford (Foals, Arctic Monkeys). ~ Jason Ankeny & Andy Kellman, Rovi

Allegedly this is one of the world's most beautiful beaches... but it's not just the beach! The whole resort is wrapped in the dunes surrounding the town; the streets are sandy gaps between the lines of bars, restaurants and shops, all leading down to the stunning beach. I've visited more beautiful beaches, but the overall experience of Jericoacoara beach is...
A big beach but with a lot of seaweed, a little bit dirty. Not so impressed. But it's okey and a lot of restaurants
Its a very touristic place, far away from any civilization, no cops (just 1), no rules, full of tourist, no danger, lots and lots of restaurants (witch i love), lots of caipirinha, and everyone is having a good time.
I just came back, and im planning on going again with gf and big group of friends, what a nice place....
We loved the region, beautiful clean beaches, awesome restaurants and night life! One of the only beaches in Brazil facing west, so you can watch the sunsets on the dun a do Por do Sol... so worth it! My only complaint is that we are traveling with my daughter and very often we get wiffs of marijuana smoke.... very unpleasant.
But much harder to get to... If you live nearby, by all means go. But if you are from sao paulo, don't waste your time. Unless you windsurf.
Beautiful beach and surroundings, a must visit for beach lovers and adventure seekers. Avoid the Xmas/NYE season, it is full of Brazilians looking to get inebriated and listen to terrible music. Go there during the kite season July - Nov.
The beach is really uncomfortbale, the tan bads are wooden and unpleaseant, the see is far frim the good resorts on the beach. The water is not clear, the wind is strong. Would rather go evrytime to the lagoons. Been here only once for an hour all week.
It´s a beach to relax, see a great sunset, take some drinks, practice some water sports, read a book, etc!
It is very dangerous walk along at the beach. Many cars (bugres and 4WD) ride from main beach to the dunes or other attraction. There is no supervision of traffic. All cars might ride as much as they want.
I recommend you take care when walk on the sand.
Besides that, Jeri has good restaurants and bars. But there are...
If you travel in Brazil you have to come to Jeri to check out cool vibe and the Sunset one of the best.
Hi, was wondering about the danger of Zika virus if flying into Fortaleza and the going to Jericoacoara beach? I'm not pregnant now but want to stay safe. Thank you for your advise.
How can I get there? Which is the best way? Thanks!!!
See all questions

Buddy just drew a goat tag for here in Colorado. I load all his ammo and he's got a .300 Win Mag and .270 Win. Both are Rem 700s, the .300 is stainless synthetic, the .270 is blue and wood. Weight is about equal. I'm thinking overkill is best here and to go for a shot to the shoulders so the goat doesn't fall over a cliff. But not too tough a bullet either, want to some shock value from rapid expansion maybe? Dunno, what do you think?

Little is known about the role of glycosphingoiipids (GSL) in atherosclerosis, which contributes to cardiovascular disease (CVD) and death in ~50% of the population, in the western world. We have observed that the level of a GSL;lactosylceramide (LacCer) and the activity of LacCer synthase (LCS) is increased in human atherosclerotic plaques, as compared to visibly normal tissue. Our preliminary studies also show that atherosclerosis and a marked increase in the level of blood cholesterol can be reveresed by a GSL synthesis inhibitor (D-1-phenyl-2-decanoylamino-3-morpholino-1-propanol;D-PDMP) in a dietary model of hyperlipidemia in rabbits. Our overall goal is to determine whether inhibiting GSL synthesis can ameliorate atherosclerosis in an apolipoprotien E(apoE-/-) mouse model of hyperlipidemia /atherosclerosis. And to determine whether LCS mass can serve as a prognostic marker in CVD.
Our specific aims are: 1. To determine the efficacy of D-PDMP in regulating atherosclerosis in apoE-/- mice; herein, the efficacy of D-PDMP in preventing and interfering with atherosclerosis will be examined in mice fed a hyperlipidemic diet, and the following will be measured: cadiac function, carotid intima media thickeness, arterial stiffness, and lipid and lipoprotiens. 2. To determine the molecular mechansim(s) by which D-PDMP regulates atherosclerosis;proteins affecting GSL and cholesterol homeostasis contributing to cell proliferation adhesion and angiogenesis will be measured. 3.To determine the specific roles of Lactosylceramide and LCS in atherosclerosis. We will synthesize novel LCS inhibitors and determine their efficacy in preventing /interfering with atherosclerosis. 4. Quantify the mass of LCS and assess post- transcriptional modification in the heart and artery in normal and atherosclerotic mice. We will develop novel ELISA assays and use mass spectrometry to determine LCS mass and post transcriptional modifiactions. The proposed studies will definitely establish that inhibiting GSL synthesis can inhibit atherosclerosis. It will also prove that LCS can be a novel target for developming drugs to ameliorate CVD and related diseases. Finally, these studies will change our mind-set with regard to the role of GSL in health and CVD.
Although much is known about the role of cholesterol in heart disease, our knowledge about the role of glycosphingoiipids in this disease has lagged behind. Herein, we propse to test the hypothesis that inhibiting glycosphingolipid synthesis can decrease blood levels of cholesterol, and ameliorate atherosclerosis and heart disease in animal models. Our studies will lay the foundation for application of novel drug therapy to amfillnratft hfiart riisfiasft in man
