Sony Releases Beta Flash Tool for Unlocked Xperia Devices
Posted December 30, 2012 at 02:00 am by jerdog
When you purchase a device, it's always desirable to be able to use it as you wish. Sadly, this is often not the case. This is because most of the time, people purchase devices with a carrier subsidy. What this means is that essentially the carrier is letting you purchase the device at a reduced rate, say $300 off suggested retail, with the terms of a contract stating you will stay with them for (usually) two years. This guarantees that they will keep their ARPU (average revenue per user) over that time.
The trade off is that if you break the contract, they will charge you an ETF (early-termination fee), which adds up to the same amount they "discounted" the phone for, prorated of course. Usually ro. . . READ ON »
Make HDPI and XHDPI Themes Work on the Xperia Arc/Arc S
Posted December 24, 2012 at 10:00 pm by Former Writer
The latest generation of smartphones has included a range of new displays of varying resolutions and densities. While having access to higher quality displays is a good thing, it is bad when those with older screens don't get to enjoy the same toys as those with newer screens. One such instance is the very popular Theme Chooser, which is included in CyanogenMod-based ROMs. The newer screen sizes often receive themes compatible with CM9, 10, and 10.1, but themers don't always add in support for older resolutions. Now, Sony Xperia Arc and Arc S users can use a modified Theme Chooser that allow the use of themes for alternate resolutions.

Unofficial CM10.1 for the Xperia Arc and Arc S
Posted December 9, 2012 at 02:00 pm by Former Writer
Efforts to compile Android 4.2 ROMs for various devices have been well under way. Now, we're starting to see some their release around the forums. This includes CM10.1, the Android 4.2 version of CyanogenMod. Now, Sony Xperia Arc and Arc S users can give unofficial CM10.1 a try.
XDA Recognized Developer Zackconsole released the build for the Arc and the Arc S. The ROM is pretty stable, although that shouldn't be surprising, since 4.2 isn't an enormous update over 4.1. The issues are pretty standard, and include:

Xperia Arc and Arc S Get CAMP, CM/AOKP/MIUI/ParanoidAndroid Kang
Posted October 31, 2012 at 08:00 am by Former Writer
Over the last month or so, developers have been coming out with various ROM mash-up kangs. So far, we've brought you news on the Xperia Pro Pacman ROM and the Galaxy Ace mash up ROM. This time, it's for the Sony Xperia Arc and Arc S.
As expected, this ROM selects some of the best features from CyanogenMod, AOKP, and ParanoidAndroid. However, XDA Recognized Developer Zackconsole has added a fourth element to this mash up—the inclusion of MIUI. So along with the goodies from the other three AOSP giants, users will have some MIUI goodies as well. The full, and gigantic, feature list includes:
PanaroidAndroid Features
MIUI Goodies
AOKP Featues

Supremacy Script Brings Many Tweaks to One Spot
Posted October 21, 2012 at 04:00 am by Former Writer
Finding a good set of tweak can sometimes be difficult. While there are popular choices available, some users would prefer to have many such tweaks in a single package. This is exactly what Supremacy Script by XDA Senior Member emwno hopes to accomplish.
It was initially released for the Sony Xperia Arc. However, the script should be compatible with most devices. A few of the features include:
-Better ram allocation
-More free ram (clearing cache)
-Faster GUI
-UI processed by GPU
-Loopy smoothness tweak
-Apps zipaligned at every boot
-Faster Networking
-SQlite database optimizations
-Lag fixer
-Smoother LWP animation
-Adrenaline boost

Switch Out the Covers on the Xperia Arc/Arc S
Posted August 26, 2012 at 05:00 pm by Former Writer
Replacing hardware can be tricky business. You have to not only be careful of all the small and extremely breakable parts, but you also have to make sure you're taking it apart correctly and putting it back together just right. For some devices, there are comprehensive video tear downs, but for others it's pretty much guess work. For the Sony Xperia Arc and Arc S, you now have a guide as well.
The guide focuses on replacing the phone cover. However, since that involves basically disassembling the phone entirely, then it could also be used to replace other pieces of hardware. Written up by XDA Forum Member arcs_austria, the guide comes complete with written instructions as well as a full compliment of . . . READ ON »
ROM Hub for Xperia 2011 Lineup Brings All of the Goodies
Posted August 25, 2012 at 05:00 pm by Former Writer
It seems as though no device's development is complete without a toolkit. Many devices have them, and many of them are compatible with more than one device. Some are pretty well known too, such as mskip's Samsung Universal Toolkit or hasoon2000's HTC toolkits. Despite being well known for cross device development sharing, there isn't yet such a toolkit for the Sony Xperia 2011 lineup.
Looking to fill that hole is ROM Hub. Developed by XDA Senior Member xdevilium, the toolkit is compatible with a large number of Sony Xperia devices, including:
Sony Xperia Arc/Arc S
Sony Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Active and Ray
Sony Xperia Neo/Neo V

Xperia Pro, Arc, and Arc S Get Android 4.0.4 Root
Posted June 4, 2012 at 04:00 pm by Former Writer
Getting a device rooted is always a big deal. After all, the vast majority of cool stuff created by our developers requires root access. As such, devices get rooted pretty often. However, then there are firmware updates. In most cases, it's a small update, and rooting again is no big deal. Other times, it's going to a whole different version of Android. Many devices have received official updates from Gingerbread to Ice Cream Sandwich, but once there, there's still going from 4.0.3 to 4.0.4. For users of the Sony Xperia Arc, Pro and Arc S, there is no need to worry because 4.0.4 has already been rooted.
The method was originally posted by XDA Senior Member Overlo4d as a way to help get Xperia Pro, . . . READ ON »

SAF Alarmed At Absence Of Civilian Arms Rights In UN Arms Treaty
Additionally it was unclear whether relics and curios would fall under this treaty or whether state-owned museums would be able to transport artifacts to other countries without export licenses. There is also concern that the amendment process for the treaty, and the possibility that major provisions could be effected by a minority.
The ATT will be open for signatures on June 3. Although President Obama has indicated he will sign it, the Treaty would have to be ratified by the Senate before it becomes binding on the United States.
The Second Amendment Foundation ( www.saf.org) is the nation's oldest and largest tax-exempt education, research, publishing and legal action group focusing on the Constitutional right and heritage to privately own and possess firearms. Founded in 1974, The Foundation has grown to more than 600,000 members and supporters and conducts many programs designed to better inform the public about the consequences of gun control.

Nice idea with laser sight :)
Defensive series 2 of 3.
Max with 'ObjectGeneric' shader.
Check inside the barrel, that's how you do spurious detail folks!
It is clear that this texture has not been adjusted for C&C3 yet. The faded look that you can see on the texture in Max, would be wildly exaggerated in C&C3, and would result in the details being totally washed out. This texture will need more contrast, but I will check what it looks like in C&C3 first.
Also because of the usual specular issues that Max has, I will wait until I have seen what the barrel metal looks like in C&C3 (it will be slightly reflective) before deciding on how light or dark the shading will be.
It is also worth noting that I typically sharpen the diffuse texture just before doing the first export to C&C3, which means that most of the Max screen grabs (including this one) show an unsharpened texture.

2.5L and/or a 6sp please.By Rod, Oct 14, 2014I really like the Crosstrek but would like more hp and gears. I'm manual transmission guy, over half the 20+ cars I've purchased for myself or my kids have been manuals, but Subaru's 2.5L and the 6sp manual would have been so much better. The Crosstrek is basically a lifted Impreza with larger wheels, larger brakes and lower final drive ratio to compensate for the larger wheels. If they had stopped with lowering the final drive ratio it would have been better, but they chose spec the Crosstrek with a 1500lb towing capacity. The Impreza has zero towing capacity, so on the Crosstrek they lowered 1st and 5th gears, to enable starting with a trailer and maintain towing speed at cruise. I don't tow and never plan to so lowering 1st and 5th is a detriment. When starting off, you're barely rolling and reaching for 2nd gear and a 65mph in 5th, you're engine is at 2,800rpm. I'm also not a fan of Subaru's throttle-by-wire gas pedal. I've driven a 2015 WRX manual several times and it has it too, the throttle inputs seem a little laggy. This review I'm sure reads pretty negative, but I really like my Crosstrek, I just don't agree with some of the concessions Subaru made in spec'ing this otherwise excellent little car. ...moreSubaru simplicity

Love my SubaruBy John, Jul 31, 2014The biggest smile on my face when I finally got to drive my 2014 XV Crosstrek home. After two weeks of ownership, I can finally say that it was a good, solid buy. I'm averaging 32-33 MPG and while it doesn't have exceptional power, it's good enough for me. What I love about it is that it drives like a compact car, but has plenty of clearance which I love. It isn't very spacious though. The engine can get a bit noisy, but the transmission is smooth and relatively quiet. Honestly it lacks punch on the highway, but accelerating in the city is more than fine. It's just a versatile car that's fun to drive and I love that it's unique. ...moreUnique, great fuel efficiency, lotsa clearance

A Historian's First Trip to the Jewish Delta
What's "new" for this historian? Well, at the moment, we are in the process of updating the Mississippi entries for our Encyclopedia of Southern Jewish communities, and so I recently took a trip to do some research in the Mississippi Delta.
Driving past miles and miles of open farm fields, I was immediately reminded of childhood visits to my grandparents' farm in rural Louisiana. While they farmed soybeans and corn, cotton is clearly king in these parts.
This was my first time to visit this part of Mississippi and I was thrilled to experience the warm hospitality there. In addition to doing research at local libraries and archives, I was able to talk with a number of Delta Jews about Jewish history and life in the region. The people I met in the Delta remain committed to do whatever necessary to continue to make it a wonderful place in which to live and thrive.
Chief among them is Greenville resident and local historian Benjy Nelken. Benjy is passionate about Greenville's history and helped to create a few museums around town, including the Greenville History museum. It provides a unique glimpse into life in Greenville from the late 1800s through the 1970s. The collection includes a fascinating array of memorabilia, artifacts, photographs, and news clippings that takes visitors through each day of the historic 1927 flood as well as other important events and cultural collections indicative of the area.
Benjy took the time to compile research folders on a number of topics available to researches, including one on his own family's history. Benjy also started the Century of History Museum housed at Hebrew Union Temple. The museum, housed in the library, details the contributions and culture of Greenville's Jewish residents since 1867. The museum was brimming with resources, and Benjy really did a nice job with tracing a tremendous amount of history with helpful explanatory labels. There was a lot that was not on display (newspaper articles, temple records) that was available for perusal, as well.
I encourage our readers to pay these terrific museums and Hebrew Union Temple a visit. Services at Hebrew Union are led by Rabbi Debra Kassoff twice per month. While you are there, stop over at Jim's Café for lunch. The people are warm, the portions generous, and the food, authentically Southern. If you have time to stay for dinner, head over to Doe's Eat Place for one of the best steaks you'll ever experience.
The next stop in my Delta travels was Indianola, Mississippi. There I had the privilege of meeting some long-time Indianola residents, Alan and Leanne Silverblatt, and the town's current mayor, Steve Rosenthal. Their histories will be helpful as we add a new entry for the town of Indianola. If you get out to Indianola, a trip to the B.B. King Museum and Delta Interpretive Center is a must.
I continued on to Greenwood. I've met longtime Greenwood resident Gail Goldberg a few times already, and I thoroughly enjoyed all of our conversations. Her passion for Ahavath Rayim and the Greenwood community is inspiring. Despite having a small amount of regular members, they get between 50-75 people every Rosh Hashanah. People are drawn to spiritual life there, and she reports that they often get people from very far away that are dedicated to ensuring that worship at the synagogue continues. If you get a chance to visit, services are led by Marilyn Gelman the first Friday of every month.
Having experienced it firsthand, I now fully understand why the Delta remains such a special place. Reading about the Delta is quite different than being there and truly experiencing it. What struck me the most was how committed the Delta residents are to keeping this region alive and well for future generations. New industry is coming in and progressive civic initiatives are being offered, providing more resources for a better future. For instance, Mayor Rosenthal initiated the Indianola Promise Community (IPC), a community-based initiative to provide children with the opportunity to succeed in school, graduate, and attend college. It was modeled after Harlem's Children Zone and they are having a positive impact on the community.
I can't wait to reveal the new and improved Mississippi entries soon. In the meantime, I invite our readers to share their stories about Mississippi history with me so we can have even more history to share with our readers. With new technology, it has never been easier to make the historical research process more collaborative. Recently, we added a Dropbox option for sharing files, and you can also email me anytime. I look forward to hearing all of your stories!

Southern & Jewish Hospitality
What began years ago has now become a very common event in our Delta community of Greenwood, Mississippi: we host a group from "somewhere else" as they tour the Jewish South.
The groups are diverse, find their way to Greenwood and the South for many different reasons. In recent years, as a Board Member of the ISJL and through my association with Rachel Jarman Myers—this thriving experience has grown and become something I'm proud to be part of with increasing frequency.
This past spring we hosted a number of groups. Two of my favorites were a congregational group from Syracuse, New York, led by Rabbi Daniel Fellman of Temple Concord; the other was The University of Maryland's Hillel organization. The Syracuse group was a warm, enthusiastic community that connected with our own. I received a lovely letter from the rabbi following their visit. Our shared love for our Jewish community was so evident, throughout the visit and in our communication thereafter.
The coordinator for the Hillel group, Amy Weiss, became a great email friend of mine as she planned this wonderful Alternative Spring Break Trip to the Mississippi Delta. Led by Corinne Bernstein, Anna Koozmin, and Noah Stein, a total of 14 young folks flew into Memphis and spent a full week in Mississippi. The trip represented a combination of service, experience, culture, Judaism, and fellowship. Our family farm in Carroll County served as their "base camp," providing a wonderful refuge after each day's service to the community.
The group invited our family and our shul members to Friday night dinner and services at our farm. The evening was just amazing… from the food, the fellowship, the services, and most importantly, sharing Shabbos with our new friends.
T. Mac Howard, founder of Delta Streets Academy, an initiative that identifies and mentors at-risk young African American men, was one of the Hillel group's favorite work sites. An email introduction between T. Mac and Amy parlayed into a working relationship between the two groups.
The school benefited, the Hillel group experienced a component of life most had never seen, and connections were established that will all be for good. It was a win–win, and the perfect Tikkun Olam for the Hillel group.
Greenwood is a natural place to stop because of the amenities available: The 5-star boutique Alluvian Hotel and a variety of restaurant opportunities rival anywhere in the South, and the charm of our small community is unparalleled. Ahavath Rayim, our Greenwood synagogue, was founded in 1907; more than 100 years later, we continue to gather and we fully participate in Jewish life—Delta Style.
In addition to touring our shul, both groups were treated to a "walking tour" of Downtown Greenwood by Dr. Mary Carol Miller, a noted historian and author. Greenwood is surrounded by three rivers and for decades has been known as the Cotton Capital of the World. The Jewish presence in our community is wide-spread.
What's the value of the experience? The values are as diverse as the groups we host.
To understand that a Jewish community does exist in the Jewish South, to experience some of the sites, like the BB King Museum in Indianola, the Civil Rights Museum in Memphis, the Mississippi Museum of Art in Jackson, and to visit the offices and meet the staff of the ISJL are all important components of the experience.
What's so special to me is the relationship that we develop with these groups—although some we will never see again, we still form lasting bonds. The understanding and the conversations that we engage in as a result of these encounters are meaningful. To expose our "guests" to the Jewish life we live every day is important. We are unskilled and untrained ambassadors for our Judaism, as we reach out to the predominately non-Jewish world of the South. Hopefully, the "outreach" of these trips in small measure—makes this world a better place.
And if you're interested in your own Southern Jewish Experience trip, contact Rachel Jarman Myers!

From the Collection: "What My Lady Should Not Wear"
There are moments as an archivist when something unusual (like a fur muff or a military notebook) sticks out from a standard inventory of confirmation photos and store ledgers. And then, sometimes, you come across a group shot of men in drag.
No, this photo from is not from the Greenwood, Mississippi production of La Cage Aux Folles (written by Jewish composer Jerry Herman, who just so happens to be my first cousin twice removed!). That show wasn't written until 1983, which puts these men way ahead of their time.
The photo was featured in a newsletter put out by the B'nai B'rith District Grand Lodge No. 7 in 1951. While Jews were active members of local clubs like the Masons or Shriners, exclusively Jewish groups like B'nai B'rith were very important to the continuity of the Southern Jewish identity. Many families that worked and lived in smaller towns traveled to larger cities like Greenwood for Jewish communal life. Potlucks and holiday parties were where they could network, discuss business, and, most importantly, find dates!
The event title alone, "What My Lady Should Not Wear," gives the impression that this brotherhood of men knew how to get a laugh and certainly shakes any preconceived notions I may have had about conservative Southern men. I just hope they got to keep the outfits.

Here's the score.
It is a well known fact that in most cultures women live longer than men. In the United States, for instance, all races considered, women now live an average of 80.1 years, compared to 74.8 years for men. Hence, from a longevity standpoint women score a point.
Many studies have demonstrated that women have a higher pain tolerance than men; probably an evolutionary adaptation from childbirth. (The brilliant comedienne, Carole Burnett once tried to express to a man the pain of childbirth by telling him to imagine what it would feel like to "Take your bottom lip and pull it over your head!") Higher pain tolerance = another point for women.
Similarly, it is believed that, on the whole, women can live longer than men without food because women have more body fat and less muscle mass than men. Since fatty tissue needs far fewer calories than muscle, women have the double advantage during starvation of having less muscle (thus burning fewer calories) and more fat (thus having a greater amount of stored calories) which translates into a metabolic advantage during times of famine. Score's now women 3; men zip.

December 19, 2014
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) - The Tampa Bay Rays say they are holding the line, and in some cases, dropping the price on nearly 40 percent of tickets for next season's games at Tropicana Field.
The team unveiled its 2010 ticket structure on Thursday. Prices range from $8 to $175, depending on seat location, the opponent and day of the week.
Prices for some prime dates against opponents such as AL East rivals New York and Boston rose slightly.
Tickets will be available in five categories, with prices as low as $12 for more than 50 games and $10 for over 30 dates.
Nine weekend games against the Yankees and Red Sox will run between $20 and $175. Weekday games against those teams will go for $18 to $155.

CULPEPER, Va. (AP) -- Culpeper County Sheriff Scott Jenkins says a law enforcement training seminar that critics have called anti-Muslim will go on as planned.
Jenkins tells The Free-Lance Star (http://bit.ly/1nQox3v ) that he has no intention of backing down.
The seminars will be presented by John Guandolo next week at Germanna Community College's Daniel Technology Center.
The Washington-based Council on American-Islamic Relations, or CAIR, and The Southern Poverty Law Center have called on Jenkins to cancel the seminars. They say Guandolo has a record of ant-Muslim extremism.
Guandolo told an audience in Nashville, Tenn., in 2012 that local mosques are part of the Muslim Brotherhood and do not have a right to constitutional protections.
Jenkins says he's confident his employees will be able to separate facts from any theories.

I am working on a CakePHP application at the moment and I am writing a few validation rules for one of the models.
I have a feeling I am making too many checks to the database at the moment and want to get a view on this.
For example I am saving to a model which has a lot of associated models as such I am saving 5 different foreign id's per save operation. To ensure that all of the id's are correct I have a validation rule for each which checks that in fact the ID does exist in the correct table in the database.
There are also a few other validation rules, but without going in to too much detail I think I am hitting the database around 10 times for one save operation, to ensure that all of the data is valid.
Is there any sort of limit I should be applying, or is the overhead fairly minimal?

Review: Being from the East Coast, this lobster rivals any lobster that I have ever tasted. Awesome product!

Review: This is the sweetest most tender lobster I have ever eaten. It is so easy to prepare-I just steamed it for 10-20 minutes. I hesitated to write the review because everyone will buy it and I won't be able to get it. Weston Price said the healthiest diets were based on seafood and Vital Choice has the best!

Are we ever really safe from each other, from an insider, from one of our own? Colleges exist to educate people, and they must be open to their own students. Protecting all members of the college community from one of their own who "snaps" and decides to terrorize from the inside is next to impossible. One could easily bring a dozen Glock 19 pistols onto a college campus undetected inside a flat-top guitar case. A number of shots could be fired before anyone familiar with a crisis response plan could respond.

How America can survive – even prosper – in the 21st century
Summary: This is one chapter a series about America's grand strategy, ways America can survive – even prosper – in an age of new rivals, where 4th generation warfare (4GW) is the dominant mode of war. Ideas that have worked in the past might guarantee failure today. See links at the end for the full series to date. This is a revised version of a post from 14 June 2008. It's still useful, since our geopolitical strategy has not changed since then.
- Can we do a grand strategy?
- The baggage in our minds
- Simple recommendations
- More friends; fewer enemies. Strengthen friendships; weaken enemies
- Don't gamble. Adopt slow but sure tactics.
- Survive until we win.
- For more information
(1) Can we do a grand strategy?
Perhaps American cannot successfully implement large and complex geopolitical strategies, as discussed in "The Myth of Grand Strategy." Perhaps this is weakness inherent to democracies. Athens also had difficulty executing complex long-term plans, even in the face of catastrophic defeat.
"The {Athenian} masses voted for Perikles… Kleon… Alkibiades… Nikias… Alkibiades again… for Themistokles… to exile Themistokles… to kill every adult male citizen of Mytilene… to spare every adult male citizen of Mytilene… to put Alkibiades in charge of the Sicilian expedition … to put Nikias in charge of the Sicilian expedition. The Athenian demos voted for *everybody* at different times."
— "History as Tragedy: The Peloponnesian War". Brad DeLong, Professor of Economic at Berkeley
As Donald Vandergriff (Major, US Army, retired) says, the key factor is leadership. Athens' leaders rose through a small number of career paths, none of which selected for strategic skills. Just like America's elected leaders.
- We elect leaders who successfully market themselves using mass media. This requires a combination of pretty faces, excellent speaking skills, celebrity status, wealth, and ability to manage simple messages.
- Politicos often make appointments to high office to workers in their campaigns, rewarding skillful fundraising and marketing (e.g., creating slogans, assembling a crowd at a suburban mall on a Saturday morning).
- Politicos often appoint professionals (i.e., experts) to high office following careers of good networking and avoiding mistakes. Or they appoint academics with good networking with no history of making decisions (therefore no mistakes).
An apparatus built with such people might find rational planning and competent execution to be beyond its abilities. This kind of official apparatus worked for American during the 19th century era, the era of small government, but has repeatedly failed us during the 20th century. The challenges of the 21st century might be even greater, hence the need to either reform our government or change our approach to geopolitics. Since the former is so difficult, I suggest we consider the latter.
(2) The baggage in our minds
We inherit a millennia-long intellectual tradition, with centuries of the west's success over the other nations of the world. Perhaps inevitably this has given us an arrogant assumption of superiority when abroad. That distorts our thinking in many ways. For example …
On the Left, belief in universal human rights diminishes our respect for other cultures (who have different highest values) and hence reduces our ability to work with other peoples.
On the right, neoconservatives who usually see America as the good guys bringing civilization to the dark corners of the world. So of course 4GW wars baffle them, with its emphasis on obtaining the moral high ground. They "know" we have it, and cannot understand how foreigners oppose our expeditions to their lands.
This is not a new problem. Leaders of the Kennedy and Johnson administrations assumed that the Vietnamese people would know that, unlike the French who preceded us, we were not colonialists. Few of the Vietnamese people saw this distinction. From this basic error many other errors followed.
The belief that our values are universal — and the highest possible — clashes with our equally dogmatically held belief in multiculturalism (all cultures are equally high). Cognitive dissonance between these incompatible beliefs might explain much of America's inability to successfully play geopolitics. It is as if we borrowed from George Orwell to create a synthesis: "all cultures are equal, but some are more equal than others."
(3) Simple recommendations
"Hence to fight and conquer in all your battles is not supreme excellence; supreme excellence consists in breaking the enemy's resistance without fighting."
— Sun Tzu, The Art of War
Perhaps we should rely on simple plans, especially ones that require little subtly and understanding of other societies. From this perspective flows three simple recommendations, as a substitute for a Grand Strategy.
- Do not increase the cohesion of our enemies. Avoid making new enemies. Make new friends.
- Don't gamble. Adopt slow but sure tactics.
- Survive until we win.
(4) More friends; fewer enemies. Strengthen friendships; weaken enemies
With respect to others … we should:
- Respect their culture and achievements, show them we bear them no harm and help them adjust to an unfolding world, as well as provide additional benefits and more favorable treatment for those who support our philosophy and way of doing things, yet
- Demonstrate that we neither tolerate nor support those ideas and interactions that undermine or work against our culture and our philosophy hence our interests and fitness to cope with a changing world.
John Boyd, "The Strategic Game of ? and ?" (1987), chart 57
Great regional powers are emerging. We can no longer have the strength to greet them with outright hostility, pretending to be a global cop eying new gangs entering the neighborhood.
New cultures are emerging, or re-emerging, and we must embrace them as part of the human pageant rather than disdainfully judge them vs. our ideas. On what basis do western values become "human rights?"
Multiculturalism might work well in this new world (even if it is disastrous as a domestic policy), consistent with the ancient principle (often broken) about the sovereignty and freedom of each people. Rather than play global kindergarten teacher, we can let each find their own way, even if they differ from our values.
We can stop meddling in the affairs of others, which usually increases the cohesion of our enemies. Foreign infidels raining drones down on local insurgents (and civilians) produces the same response as Skynet's flying killing machines in the "Terminator" films: hatred, more opponents, highly motivated. It's a formula for disaster. The CIA should focus on gathering intelligence, something sorely missing from post-WW2 decision-making, and leave foreign ops for Mr. Phelps and the Impossible Missions Force.
Bringing this all together we can stop our "holier than thou" criticism of other governments and societies. Instead our government could focus on building alliances and minimizing conflicts with our enemies. We need not applaud aspects of other societies that we consider wrong or evil, but should not presume that Americans stride the planet as gods — to define right and wrong for everybody. Leave it to the non-governmental agencies to blast their discordant exhortations about the human rights gospel (literally translated as "good news") across the world.
(5) Don't gamble. Adopt slow but sure tactics.
For as long as he was at the head of the state during the peace, he pursued a moderate and conservative policy; and in his time its greatness was at its height. When the war broke out, here also he seems to have rightly gauged the power of his country. He outlived its commencement two years and six months, and the correctness of his previsions respecting it became better known by his death. He told them to wait quietly, to pay attention to their marine, to attempt no new conquests, and to expose the city to no hazards during the war, and doing this, promised them a favourable result. …
What they did was the very contrary, allowing private ambitions and private interests, in matters apparently quite foreign to the war, to lead them into projects unjust both to themselves and to their allies — projects whose success would only conduce to the honour and advantage of private persons, and whose failure entailed certain disaster on the country in the war.
— Thucydides, The History of the Peloponnesian War, Book Two
"We should cultivate a reluctance "to travel a long distance to kill foreigners at great expense" unless we have great need."
— Paraphrase of a post by Jim Henley
Americans have many strengths, as shown by our great progress since 1776. That does not make us great at everything. Not great warriors. Not deep thinkers. Not master strategists. We are a parochial society, which means we're not well-suited to manipulate foreign cultures.
Let's allow America's private sector do what it does best, building the wealth and happiness of our people. Let's focus our government on what it knows best, our own land and people. We can help the people of other states through research, free trade, and charity. We have much to teach other peoples, and much to learn.
"Interaction permits vitality and growth while isolation leads to decay and disintegration."
— John Boyd, "The Strategic Game of ? and ?" (1987), chart 29
Will we makes these changes? Crusades are more fun than restraint, at least for those who do not do the fighting. High risk endeavors generate excitement and the prospect of great gains, and accrue power to leaders. Until failure. Then the bills come due.
Fortunately there are ways to influence the world other than force.
"My vision of the course of the Arab war was still purblind. I had not seen that the preaching was victory and the fighting a delusion. For the moment, I roped them together, and, as Feisal fortunately liked changing men's minds rather than breaking railways, the preaching went the better."
— T. E. Lawrence, Seven Pillars of Wisdom, Chapter 30
Perhaps it is time to return to a place in the world more in accord with the views of our Founders. The following is as true today as it was when written:
I have always given it as my decided opinion that no nation has a right to intermeddle in the internal concerns of another; that every one had a right to form and adopt whatever government they liked best to live under themselves; and that if this country could, consistent with its engagements, maintain a strict neutrality and thereby preserve peace, it was bound to do so by motives of policy, interest, and every other consideration.
— George Washington, letter to James Monroe, 25 August 1796
(6) Survive until we win.
How to survive — even prosper — in the 21st century? Rely on our greatest strengths: we are a free people with a strong, vital culture. That means focusing our effort on building the best possible America. That does not mean autarky. It is consistent with global charity and trade.
In 4GW, the home court advantage is decisive. A "defensive" mode of warfare can win, at lower cost. We need strong homeland security and excellent global intelligence about our potential enemies. We need an offensive capability in order to deal with threats, but with restraint in its use.
What to do with rogue nations? Developing global diplomatic mechanisms to do this might be our primary foreign policy goal in the 21st century. Containment has worked well, but in an ever-shrinking world might not in the future. Perhaps we should focus on national leaders who seek to disturb the world's peace, and deal with them in the light as criminals (rather than joins them in the shadows as terrorists).
"One or two of them, perhaps, it would be wiser to kill without malice in a friendly and frank manner; for there are bipeds, just as there are quadrupeds, who are too dangerous to be left unchained and unmuzzled; and these cannot fairly expect to have other men's lives wasted in the work of watching them."
— George Bernard Shaw, Man and Superman, Act III (1903)
(7) For More information
There are few comprehensive proposals for a grand strategy for America in the literature of either the "Revolution in Military Affairs" or of 4th Generation War. This series presents an alternative to Thomas P.M. Barnett's "Pax Americana" vision. It provides an alternative based on, and starts from, William Lind's "Strategic Defense Initiative", The American Conservative, 22 November 2004.

"How American and survive – even prosper – in the 21st century"
The sentence does not parse, something is missing after "American".
The link to "The Strategic Game of ? and ?" (odd title with those two question marks) ends up on a dead page.
"We need strong homeland security and excellent global intelligence about our potential enemies."
DHS and NSA approve heartily. More power to them!
"We need an offensive capability in order to deal with threats"
DOD approves heartily. More budgetary appropriations for the military!
"Demonstrate that we neither tolerate nor support those ideas and interactions that undermine or work against our culture and our philosophy"
Plenty of "ideas and interactions" can be construed as "working against culture and philosophy" (whatever that means) more or less intensely, and at various levels; the sentence is a big loophole that makes things look like an ideological struggle.
Essentially, one should state very carefully what one means — those sentences above are fertile ground for a variety of interpretations, many of them you would probably reject vehemently.
Carroll Clark permalink17 February 2014 6:18 pm
This is the best post I've read in FM. I would restate a couple of items. Instead of a strong homeland security and excellent global intelligence I believe it would be more effective if the goal was a competent and robust homeland security and a comprehensive understanding of the language, culture and world view of other cultures, especially those with views opposed to ours.
The current emphasis on "strong homeland security" has resulted in the militarization to local police forces, ineptitude in evaluating likely threats and planning for real threats. Global intelligence has to include increased human intelligence, fluency in foreign languages and cultures.
17 February 2014 8:27 pm
I second the thought that this a superior post. Inspiration is often a more powerful motive than condemnation.
18 February 2014 9:00 am
Doesn't this brilliant, exemplary reform strategy ultimately raise the same old vexing question of how to implement it? Why would the corrupt powerful elements in the system not fight such reforms? How would incompetent politicians be able to push it through? The american people are too traumatized by the broken promises of the corrupt political elites to have any faith in the politicians' ability to do the right thing for the people.
RedWell permalink18 February 2014 3:34 pm
A good start, but I have to agree with some of the other commenters that this is very general. If you had 10 minutes with the President, I'm not sure this vision would stand out as distinct or actionable. Not making more enemies and protecting international trade are more or less conventional wisdom among most in Washington.
I don't always agree with them, but the "National Interest" occasionally publishes a piece on grand strategy recommendations that stake out more specific positions. For example: http://nationalinterest.org/article/americas-grand-strategy-a-pattern-of-history-606
asdf permalink19 February 2014 5:41 am
"The challenges of the 21st century might be even greater, hence the need to either reform our government or change our approach to geopolitics. Since the former is so difficult, I suggest we consider the latter."
That's a neat idea! So are you saying that, if our government/leadership could accept and internalize the idea that it is often conflicted, sometimes to the point of impaired judgment, that it could come up with a strategy that can work around this limitation?

Modern retro bar stools very comfortable
Diane from Tarpon Springs, FL– Verified Buyer
I thought they were leatherette because I had looked at so many options, but this one is actually plastic, very sturdy, high gloss silver-gray and actually very comfy. I ended up really liking the seat material as it gave a nice retro modern kind of industrial vibe to my open kitchen bar area.

Bird Sounds & Ringtones
100,000 - 500,000 downloadsAdd this app to your lists
+ By Nyhet
Bird sounds is a great application for kids of age 3 months to 10 years. This app has great photos of various birds along with their sounds. Click on the small image of the bird to hear how it sounds. Uniqueness of this app is that it tells the name of the bird before it sounds(Helps small kids co-relate the name/image/sound and improves thier memory and co-relating all the senses together).
1. Gallery view to show big sized images of birds
. Long click the image to save the sound as Ringtone(enable this feature from settings before first use)
. Displays bird name with animation
. Text to Speech reads bird name
. Shake your device to hear the bird sound
2. Grid view to show many bird in one screen
. Image rotates when you click on it in grid view
Settings to on/off some of all the above features.
We made it a 3 step process as this primarily for children so they don't change the Ringtone/Notification/Alarm by mistake.
1. Go to settings and select save as ringtone(i.e is should be checked)
2. Now go back and long press on the bird you want(it will popup a menu with save as options)
