Therefore, brothers and sisters, you must be patient as you wait for the coming of the Lord.
Courageous patience
7 Therefore, brothers and sisters, you must be patient as you wait for the coming of the Lord. Consider the farmer who waits patiently for the coming of rain in the fall and spring, looking forward to the precious fruit of the earth. 8 You also must wait patiently, strengthening your resolve, because the coming of the Lord is near. 9 Don't complain about each other, brothers and sisters, so that you won't be judged. Look! The judge is standing at the door!
10 Brothers and sisters, take the prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord as an example of patient resolve and steadfastness.
Living in Faith Korean Americans need a Bible study series that should identify those challenges and address those opportunities. This Bible study series will be a combination of both biblical information and transformational experiences. This series will aim at giving practical guidance in the journey of immigrant life as Christians. This series will basically deal with three questions: 1. Who (or whose) are we?, 2. Who is God/Jesus/The Holy Spirit?, and 3. What does God want us to do? The rubrics that will reflect these questions are 1) Bible texts, 2) Immigrant life stories, 3) Sharing, 4) Decision-making.

Through the purposeful use of lightweight technologies, we have managed to save weight in the chassis and increase efficiency. The next challenge was the question of how to reconcile the characteristics of a sportscar with the requirements for comfort demanded of a saloon. The answer: modern axle concepts. Two apparently more mutually exclusive qualities are high performance and excellent driving safety, which we resolved with precise traction control systems and powerful tyres and brakes.
The front axle has a wide spaced aluminium double wishbone arrangement with an aluminium subframe. The wide spacing between the wishbones keeps the forces in the wheel suspension low for precision wheel guidance and excellent handling.
The rear axle is an aluminium multi-link setup. This axle design minimises the pitching of the body under acceleration and braking.
The high proportion of aluminium used in the construction of the axles reduces the weight of the vehicle and of the unsprung masses, helping to improve fuel economy and increase agility.

Stomach cancer is rare in the United States, but that's not how it used to be. The American Cancer Society estimates about 21,320 cases of stomach cancer will be diagnosed in 2012 and about 10,540 people will die from the disease in the U. S. this year.
"Interestingly, it was a leading cause of cancer death in U.S. 100 years ago," says Otis Brawley, chief medical and scientific officer of the ACS and CNN's conditions expert. "Declines are due to refrigeration and less reliance on salted and cured foods."
Unfortunately, the same isn't true for the rest of the world. Stomach cancer is among the top 5 diseases that cause the majority of cancer deaths worldwide, according to the World Health Organization. It is most common in Eastern Asia, including Korea, Japan and China.
Mass screening is an important tool for the early detection of many cancers. "In countries such as Japan, where stomach cancer is very common, mass screening of the population has helped find many cases at an early, curable stage," the ACS website states.
A new study published this week in the scientific journal Cancer analyzed data from more than 2,000 patients who had been diagnosed with stomach cancer. Researchers divided the participants into seven groups based on time between their last clean endoscopy test and the endoscopy that detected their cancer.
The study authors concluded that the optimal time between stomach cancer screenings (in countries with a high prevalence) is three years.
"Gastric cancers are likely to become more advanced before detection with screening intervals that are longer than three years, but screening more frequently than every three years does not appear to be more beneficial," said Dr. Il Ju Choi in a press release. "The exception is if you have a family member with gastric cancer. In that case, you may need to undergo upper endoscopy screening more frequently."
Stomach cancers tend to develop slowly, which is why screening more frequently is unnecessary. Currently screening every two years is recommended in Korea for people over the age of 40, according to the study authors.
In the United States, controversy has surrounded screenings for some cancers in recent years, particularly when it comes to breast and prostate cancers. Scientific reviews of the benefits and risks brought about by routine prostate cancer screenings and breast cancer screenings have led to differing opinions by various medical groups about how often screenings are necessary, if at all.
The ACS does not recommend routine stomach cancer screening for people in the U.S. due to its low prevalence. Although a few patients with a history of H. Pylori infection (a bacteria that may cause stomach cancer) could benefit from screening, the gastrointestinal community has not come to a consensus, Brawley says.
The symptoms of stomach cancer include poor appetite, weight loss (without dieting), abdominal pain or swelling, heartburn, indigestion, or ulcer-type symptoms, nausea and vomiting. If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, please contact your doctor.

"Everything you need is already inside." -- Bill Bowerman

well, firstly, i disagree with you, and secondly, why change it?
I like it because it's easier when posting workouts from a smart phone.
Runners run.
You'll ruin your knees!
My phone isn't all that smart...
""...the truth that someday, you will go for your last run. But not today—today you got to run." - Matt Crownover (after Western States)
I agree that it is more cumbersome now. Before you could type only the hours (10 for instance), but now you must type 10 [tab] 0 as you cannot leave the minutes blank. It is a minor thing, but still less user friendly than before.
I believe it is now more user friendly because the hour and minute fields are more explicit. New users struggle with the field because it's not obvious enough. It is a small change from the previous experience and it is something you're not used to. Its change is needed in preparation for another project. Give it a chance. I have no doubt that after you grow accustom to it, you'll have the same objection if I revert back.

Most of my runs are in the morning and I don't care if my log says I started at exactly 5:55 or a default of 6:00.

She has performed to ovations here in New York at Rose Hall at Jazz at Lincoln Center, Town Hall in numerous Broadway by the Yearconcerts, and Feinstein's at Loew's Regency in the hit, long-running 11 O'Clock Numbers at 11 O'Clock show.

Her new show,Body and Soul, was created exclusively for Carole J. Bufford and is produced by Scott Siegel (Broadway by the Year, Broadway Unplugged, The Nightlife Awards, 11 O'Clock Numbers at 11 O'Clock, The Broadway Ballyhoo, etc.). The Musical Director is Ian Herman.

Plants For A Future: A resource and information centre for edible and otherwise useful plants
Plants For A Future (PFAF) is a charitable company, originally set up to support the work of Ken and Addy Fern on their experimental site in Cornwall, where they carried out research and provided information on edible and otherwise useful plants suitable for growing outdoors in a temperate climate. Over time they planted 1500 species of edible plants on 'The Field' in Cornwall, which was their base since 1989. Over ten years ago, Ken began compiling a database, which currently consists of approximately 7000 species of plants.
For more information on the work carried out by the Ferns, see: The History of Plants For A Future
There are currently five trustees of the PFAF Charity - see Trustees' biographies.
Plants For A Future: 20 years on
The trustees of PFAF, in recognition of the work of the Ferns, and for information about what they achieved, commissioned a detailed mapping and ecological Survey of The Field (see below). The Survey Report is available for anyone who is interested. We have also employed professional website developers to redesign the website and improve the content of the database, work on which is ongoing. We share in, and continue to support, the aims of the founders.
Plants For A Future: Survey and Research Project on the 'The Field'
The survey and research project on the 'The Field', the experimental site of Ken and Addy Fern ( Plants For A Future founders) in Cornwal is now available. Ken and Addy carried out research and provided information on edible and otherwise useful plants suitable for growing outdoors in a temperate climate. Over time they planted 1500 species of edible plants on 'The Field' in Cornwall, which was their base since 1989.

The main aims of the charity are researching and providing information on ecologically sustainable horticulture, promoting a high diversity, holistic and permacultural approach namely 'woodland gardening'. We aim to use a minimal input of resources and energy, create a harmonious eco-system and cause the least possible damage to the environment whilst achieving high productivity.
The Plants for a Future Concept
It is our belief that plants can provide people with the majority of their needs, in a way that cares for the planet's health. A wide range of plants can be grown to produce all our food needs and many other commodities, whilst also providing a diversity of habitats for our native flora and fauna.
There are over 20,000 species of edible plants in the world yet fewer than 20 species now provide 90% of our food. Large areas of land devoted to single crops increase dependence upon intervention of chemicals and intensive control methods with the added threat of chemical resistant insects and new diseases. The changing world climate greatly affecting cultivation indicates a greater diversity is needed.
When comparing a large cultivated field to natural woodland the woodland receives no intervention but produces lush growth and diversity of plants and animals. Yet the cultivated land supports very few species. The quality and depth of soil in a woodland is maintained and improved yearly whilst erosion and loss of soil structure plague the cultivated field.
Our emphasis is on growing perennial plants with some self-seeding annuals, a large part of the reason for this is the difference in the amount of time and energy it takes to cultivate and harvest crops. Annuals means the cultivation of the ground every year, sowing the seeds, controlling the weeds, adding fertilizers and attempting to control pests and diseases. It all seems so much extra work compared to planting a perennial and waiting to harvest its yield. Especially when you consider that even with all the effort put into growing carrots their yield for the same area of ground will be less than that of a fruit tree and will only last the one season.
Not only do people seem trapped in a method of growing with lower yields for far more input but also one that is damaging the environment and all the plants and animals that live in it.
Continued cultivation of the soil, whilst creating a desert to most of our wild plants and animals, destroys the organic matter and opens it up to the risk of erosion from wind and rain. The soil structure is damaged and becomes compacted leaving it unable to drain properly or allow plant roots to penetrate and obtain nutrients, and valuable topsoil is washed away in heavy rain.
A cultivated crop such as wheat has all its roots in a narrow band of soil with intense competition between plants for the same nutrients. Any nutrients below this belt are inaccessible to the plants. The crop is susceptible to the same pests and diseases and has similar climatic requirements, if one plant suffers they all suffer. The amount of energy used in producing high yields is far more than the food itself yields in energy. We do not believe this is sustainable.
When looking at woodland, almost no weeding is required, no feeding and no watering yet year after year a host of animals can be found along with the inevitable plant growth. A wide range of plants grows side by side each occupying its own space. Some with deep roots bringing up nutrients from beyond the reach of other plants. When leaves fall they provide nutrients and substance to the soil. Plants with shallow root systems obtain their nutrients from nearer the surface of the soil. The canopy of trees creates a shelter and temperature fluctuations are less extreme in a woodland environment. The soil is protected from erosion.
Woodland sustains itself and is highly productive due to its diversity which leads to a gradual build up of fertility. All the different available habitats allow a wide range of creatures to live in woodland, and the plants, insects and animals all work to create an altogether much more balanced and harmonious way of life. Another benefit of Woodland Gardening is that the high humus content of the soil acts like a sponge to absorb water therefore replenishing the ground water table.
Growing a diversity of plants emulating woodland, we can grow fruit and nut trees, under- planted with smaller trees and shrubs, herbaceous, ground cover and climbing plants. This way it is possible to produce fruits, nuts, seeds, leaves and roots throughout the year. Unlike the majority of cultivated food plants these have not been selectively bred to increase size of yield, reduce bitterness or increase sweetness, yet many of them are delicious and highly nutritious.
We aim to recover lost knowledge and learn more about the hundreds of medicinal plants that we can grow, in a race to find safe natural alternatives to drugs used today. Plants can also provide us with fibres for clothes, rope and paper, oils for lubricants, fuels, water proofing and wood preservatives, dyes, construction materials and more.
A large number of native broadleaf trees are planted to provide natural shelter and wildlife habitats. Trees are the lungs of the planet; they purify the air locking up carbon and have the potential for reducing the greenhouse effect. Trees protect the soil from erosion, encourage rainfall, and regulate the flow of ground water preventing flooding. Fallen leaves are an effective soil conditioner.
The Activities and Services of Plants For A Future
Concentrating on the restoration and conservation of the land we get much satisfaction in seeing the return of a wide diversity of wildlife where once we did not see a bee or a butterfly.
Literally planting for the future. Personal experience of growing the plants is the most valuable way to learn about growing, cropping and utilising them.
Research is on going since much of the information on plant uses has been lost from every day life but is stored in books and research papers. We are collating this information in a more accessible way, in the form of a database, which currently consists of nearly 7,000 species of plants. We can supply information print outs from the database or we can supply the database, for more information about this please ask for the database leaflet. Further research is carried out by visiting gardens around the country recording the results of these visits. Virtually all the plants we grow have never been selectively bred for edibility so there is a huge potential for alternative foods, which careful selection could help to realise.
We have published a 'Plants For A Future - Edible and useful plants for a healthier world'. Visit the shop for more information.

We are constantly on the look out for new sources of useful plants, particularly from those people who travel to or live in other temperate zones. Please contact us if you feel you might be willing to help. It does not require botanical knowledge, just a willingness to search out sources of seed in that area.
An expert group of editors and contributors to and moderators for the PFAF database and website is being convened online. If you have and would like to share knowledge and expertise on plants, their uses, constituents and cultivation with Plants For A Future website users ( 160,000 unique users and over 1 million page impressions per month ), we would like you to join the group. This is an opportunity to help expand the general pool of knowledge on plants and increase both its quality and its accessibility to botanists, students, plant lovers, herbalists, nutritionists, cooks, gardeners and others. How much time and effort you would put in is very much up to you, so you will choose your preferred field(s) of expertise and level of involvement.

When to add the alcohol? The alcohol, whether it be Grand Marnier, Limoncello, or Rum, should be added at the beginning.
I sometimes add a teaspoon or so in the beginning to the cream. You could even evaporate the alcohol (by about half) in the pot, before you add the cream. If you add the alcohol at the end you will slow down the coagulation (basically it will be like adding water).
Traditionalist even say (okay, a few people here at Rouxbe) that no alcohol should be used. They say it should be served on the side in a glass with some ice. Instead add a bit of zest instead. But this is a matter of taste and tradition, so have fun and let us know how it turns out.
Good luck, hope this helps!
I watched that link, and yes both ways work, but the first technique (using egg shells to separate) can be very bad because its the outside of the shell that contains salmonella and there is a higher risk to getting the bacteria in the egg by separating the eggs with the shell. the bowl technique is the way to go.
Sounds like a real quick and authentic recipe. I dotn think i have ever made it at home. But love this dessert. I have also had a few different favolurs of this. Strawbeery, Choco, Coffee etc.. So i will let you know how this recipe turns out at home.
Reading the recipe, i wanted to know how long we should beat the egg and sugar mixture for and the consistency it should be. ie: double in volume? Thick? etc...
I have made this recipe twice! The first time , I cover the ramekins with foil before refrigerating them. When I sprinkled the sugar, some of the sugar was absorbed in the top of the cream brulee and when I torched it, I got a nice thick caramelized sugar. The second time, I did not cover the cream brulee before refrigerating!!! When I torched it, apparently the sugar was very thin and didn't absorbed into the custard and so the result was a very thin caramelized sugar crust????
Which way is best??
Thank you
Generally crème brûlée should only have a nice rather thin layer of sugar topping. It is not meant to be thick. The delicate sugar coating adds a nice gentle contrast to the soft custard beneath.
Of course, if you loved the thick coating then feel free to do it that way. But just know that the thinner coating is more classic.
Hope this helps!
Comments: I've made this twice now, once w/vanilla bean seeds and once w/real vanilla extract. Right at 22 minutes, it already doesn't shake quite as much as demonstrated in the video. Not sure if water in baine marie should be near boiling or just warm to heat w/the oven.
Recommendation" EXCELLENT. Not too sweet. just right. Thank you!
The cooking time will generally vary a bit for everyone, as every oven is different. Times are usually just an approximation. When I went to culinary school all of the students (including myself) used to say "how long will it take chef...when is it done chef" and he would always say "when it's done".
Back then that seemed like not such a nice answer, but after quite a few years of cooking now, this answer seems just right. It's when you know what you are looking for that you become a bit more free of times. You know that you are looking for that particular jiggle, so when you see that it's done, no matter how long it has been.
As for the water you add to the baine marie, I usually just use very hot tap water.
Hope this helps and doesn't sound like a snooty answer as that was surely not my intention. So glad you liked the recipe, it's one of my favorites as well :-)
This is one of my favorite desserts!
It was the first time I've tried a Rouxbe recipe and let me say this, it was a complete success! My mom wanted to learn how to make crème brûllée so I did it in her kitchen and she said I looked like a pro!lol I must say that the only reason that happened was because of the detailed step-by-step instructions, that made all the difference! I'm now proud to say that I'm eternaly hooked to rouxbe!! :)
So glad that you liked the recipe and that you had success! As for other sugars to use for creating that wonderful crunchy topping - you could use brown sugar, light brown sugar or even turbinado sugar (I quite like having turbinado sugar in my pantry, for those times when I want to add a slight twist to sweet things).
Good luck, hope this helps!
First off, love the recipe- I really want to try a pumpkin-flavored brulee for Thanksgiving. I hear Earl Grey works well also.
Here's my issue- perhaps I'm over-whipping the mixture, but after mixing the eggs and cream, I get about an inch of foam on top. When I pour into the ramekins, about half is foam.
Should I let the mixture sit for a while? Or should I just scoop off the foam with a spoon? Or am I just whipping too much? Anyone else have this issue? Any tips?

The Conference Board Economics Watch® - Emerging Markets View
Emerging Markets Quarterly Series
Sign In to access this Webcast
2012 has been a year of major uncertainty in global markets. Looking into the new year, there are many more hurdles to overcome: a slowing China, weak competiveness along with continued debt crisis in Europe, the fiscal cliff in the U.S., the Israeli-Palestinian conflict…the list goes on. In fact, with so many unknowables still on the table, the only thing most businesses can be certain for 2013 is more uncertainty and higher volatility. However, the weak and volatile nature of global markets brings opportunities as well as risks, particularly in emerging markets. For the past several years, domestic demand in many emerging markets has helped to offset the slowdown from mature countries that began in 2008. And with more than 5 billion people living in emerging economies, investment opportunities for forward-thinking companies abound. The January 2013 edition of The Conference Board's Emerging Markets Economics Watch will focus on the risks and opportunities that are likely to emerge throughout the year in the emerging world.

Max Boot
last updated: December 05, 2013
- Council on Foreign Relations: Senior Fellow
- Weekly Standard: Contributing Editor
- Project for the New American Century: Letter Signatory
Please note: IPS Right Web neither represents nor endorses any of the individuals or groups profiled on this site.
Max Boot is the Jeane J. Kirkpatrick senior fellow in national security studies at the Council on Foreign Relations, a perch from which the neoconservative writer promotes U.S. military interventions and expounds on the purported need for massive U.S. defense budgets.[1] A longtime hawk, Boot has described neoconservatives—and himself—as people who "believe in using American might to promote American ideals abroad." (He distanced himself from early neocons, however, by noting that he's "never been a Trotskyite, a Maoist or even a Democrat, adding that "There's no 'neo' in my conservatism.")[2]
An adviser to the Republican presidential campaigns of John McCain in 2008 and Mitt Romney in 2012, Boot describes himself as "one of America's leading military historians and foreign-policy analysts" and maintains that he has "advised military commanders in Iraq and Afghanistan."[3]
One of the military leaders Boot claims to have advised is General David Petraeus, the former CENTCOM commander who resigned his post as CIA director in late 2012 after a high-profile sex scandal that raised concerns about the possible release of classified information. In an op-ed for the northern New Jersey Record, Boot lamented Petraeus' fall as "tragic" and a "loss for our government," and seemed to imply that President Obama was at fault for appointing him to the CIA instead of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. "Perhaps Petraeus could have remade the military," Boot wrote, "if he had been appointed chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff—a post he had earned—but President Obama preferred to shunt him off to the CIA where he would play a less public role. Now he is gone from the CIA, too, and it is doubtful that the military will see his like for a long time to come."[4]
As a surrogate for the Romney/Paul Ryan campaign, Boot proved a reliable defender of the former Massachusetts governor as well as critic of the Obama administration. After Romney's much criticized comments during his campaign fundraising trip to Israel in June 2012 implying that Palestinian underdevelopment was due to "culture and a few other things," Boot defended the former governor by arguing that his comments were correct, thus ignoring—like Romney himself—the devastating impact of the Israeli occupation. He wrote: "Palestinian development has been hijacked by corrupt opportunists (like those who dominate the Palestinian Authority) and fanatical extremists (like those who run Hamas). Gov. Romney was guilty of no gaffe. He was just telling it like it is: If Palestinians are to prosper, their culture—characterized all too often by anti-Semitism and blame-mongering—needs to change."[5]
Boot has also suggested that Israeli public opinion jeopardizes the state's security, though only because he sees limited support for an Israeli reoccupation of Gaza. After Israel's November 2012 war with Hamas, Boot—who supported Israel's 2005 disengagement from the Gaza Strip—wrote that Israel's long-term security could require stationing IDF troops inside the enclave. Should Israel "reoccupy Gaza?" he wrote. "Yes–if it wants to end the Hamas rocket threat for good. But I very much doubt Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will do so because such a move would not be supported by most Israelis. … Harsh as it may sound, the situation in Gaza likely will have to get worse than it is today for any Israeli political leader to order security forces back for more than a temporary incursion."[6]
Boot has often criticized the Obama administration's handling of foreign affairs, implying that it has not done enough to bolster "liberal" forces in regions impacted by the "Arab Spring." After the September 2012 attacks on U.S. embassies spurred by the anti-Islam film Innocence of Muslims, Boot wrote that the "attacks on the U.S. Embassy in Cairo … make clear that the provision of further IMF loans and loan forgiveness by the U.S. must be made conditional on Mohamed Morsi's government doing more to control Islamist militants. In the longer term, such attacks show the need for the U.S. to do more to aid secular liberal groups in their struggle for power so that the Muslim Brotherhood does not develop a hammerhold on Egypt's government, which it can then use to whip up hysteria over alleged wrongs done to Islam. Beyond that, the U.S. government must do everything possible–including the unleashing if necessary of Special Operations Forces and covert CIA operatives–to hunt down the perpetrators of the Libyan attack."[7]
Along with like-minded writers like Charles Krauthammer, Boot holds privileged perches in the U.S. news media and foreign policy communities. He is a columnist for the Los Angeles Times and his writings often appear in other major U.S. media outlets. Boot also writes frequently for William Kristol's Weekly Standard and has participated in neoconservative advocacy initiatives like the Project for the New American Century.
Boot has been a leading agitator for a U.S. attack on Iran, writing op-eds and appearing in public forums to argue that "the only credible option for significantly delaying the Iranian nuclear program would be a bombing campaign," as he put in a 2011 opinion piece for the Los Angeles Times.[8] In a January 2012 blog post for the neoconservative Commentary magazine, Boot cited a heavily criticized Foreign Affairs article by Matthew Kroenig championing a bombing campaign against Iran, to argue: "If the U.S. is truly determined to prevent [a nuclear Iran]—and if we're not, we should be—the most effective option is to use force. Obviously, air strikes carry risks of their own, but those risks have to be measured against the risk of letting Iran go nuclear."[9]
Political developments in Iran have failed to change Boot's mind. In late 2013, for example, even as Western governments were reaching an interim accord with the relatively moderate Iranian government of President Hassan Rouhani concerning the country's nuclear enrichment program, Boot complained that Rouhani was "no Gorbachev" and warned that the Iranians would never "end their cold war against the West."[10]
Critics of Boot's position point out that he and most other bombing advocates admit that such a campaign would do little more than delay the Iranian nuclearization effort, assuming such an effort exists at all. So why advocate for a policy doomed to fail? Wrote Steven Walt in response to the Kroenig piece championed by Boot: "As Kroenig acknowledges … even a completely successful war would not end Iran's capability to build nuclear weapons once and for all. We would merely have bought ourselves a few years, because the Iranians—who would probably be mad as hornets—would surely set out to build nuclear weapons in a secure location to deter the United States from attacking their homeland again. All of this is to say that we cannot prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons if it wants them badly enough, and attacking them in the immediate future is likely to make them want those weapons even more. … It appears that [Kroenig] remains untroubled by the fact that many innocent people will die and many more will be wounded if the United States follows his advice to launch a major bombing campaign against Iran. He seems equally at ease with the idea that the United States would be launching an unprovoked war of aggression, which would be in clear violation of international law."[11]
"Permanent Mobilization"
In a July 2010, Boot penned an op-ed for the Washington Post in which he decried the effort by some Democrats and the Barack Obama administration officials to reduce the U.S. military budget. Pointing to historical cases like the period following the American Revolution and the reductions to the size of the army after World War I, Boot argued that every time the United States has reduced its military expenditures, "enemies" have taken advantage of the purported U.S. weakness.[12]
Also among his "cases" was the post-Vietnam War U.S. military. He wrote: "After the Vietnam War, our armed forces shrank from 3.5 million personnel in 1969 to 2 million in 1979. This was the era of the 'hollow army,' notorious for its inadequate equipment, discipline, training and morale. Our enemies were emboldened to aggression, ranging from the anti-American revolutions in Nicaragua and Iran to the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. We are still paying a heavy price for the Iranian Revolution, with Iran on the verge of going nuclear."[13]
Commenting on the article, Jim Lobe of the Inter Press Service wrote: "The implication of the second and third sentences … is that, if the armed forces hadn't shrunk, they could somehow have deterred, or, if necessary, actually intervened in Nicaragua and Iran to thwart 'anti-American revolutions' that presumably would never have taken place were it not for our enemies' 'aggression.' The notion that these revolutions, as in Vietnam, might have had homegrown roots doesn't seem to have occurred to Boot for whom the whole post-World War II era of decolonization was presumably a Communist conspiracy masterminded in Moscow and/or Beijing. (And if the Shah had remained in power, it would have been inconceivable to Boot that Iran might try to acquire nuclear weapons!)"[14]
Lobe argued that Boot's rhetoric was reminiscent of Sen. Daniel Moynihan's reasons for distancing himself from the neocons in the 1970s, charging that his erstwhile comrades "wished for a military posture approaching mobilization; they would create or invent whatever crises were required to bring this about." Lobe quipped that Boot's "op-ed in the Washington Post … makes clear that he thinks permanent mobilization is a very good thing."[15]
Inflammatory Rhetoric
Another illustrative example of Boot's inflammatory writing style was his review of the "Goldstone Report," a UN investigation of the 2008-2009 Israeli invasion of Gaza led by the South African jurist Richard Goldstone. The UN report concluded that both Israel and Hamas were guilty of war crimes. Lauded by advocacy groups like Human Rights Watch, the report recommended that if both the Israeli government and Hamas authorities fail to conduct credible investigations into alleged abuses, the matter should be referred to the International Criminal Court.[16]
In his review of the report, which spurred one commentator to call Boot an "apologist for war crimes,"[17] Boot wrote: "It's a good thing that the United Nations wasn't around during World War II. I can just imagine its producing a supposedly evenhanded report that condemned the Nazis for 'grave' abuses such as incinerating Jews, while also condemning the Allies for their equally 'grave' abuses such as fire-bombing German and Japanese cities. The recommendation, no doubt, would have been that both sides be tried for war crimes, with Adolf Hitler in the dock alongside Franklin Roosevelt. Actually, that may be giving the UN more credit than it deserves. To judge by the evidence before us, the likelihood is that the UN in those days would have devoted far more space to Allied 'abuses' than to those of the Axis and would have recommended that FDR stand alone before the world court."[18]
Employing somewhat less inflammatory—though nonetheless disproportionate—rhetoric, Boot lambasted President Barack Obama's handling of the Afghanistan conflict in a November 2009 op-ed. Arguing that Obama is "stumbling" as a "wartime president," Boot suggested that he should ask George W. Bush for advice, claiming that Bush "matured" as a wartime leader and demonstrated "steeliness" in the face of the enemy. Wrote Boot: "Early on, [Bush] was a hands-off leader, delegating the management of the [Iraq] war to military and civilian subordinates who failed him and the country. Bush finally matured as a leader and earned a shot at redemption in 2006, when he approved the 'surge' despite Washington's conventional wisdom to the contrary. The kind of steeliness he showed in the face of adversity may even help to rescue his historical reputation from the damage done by Abu Ghraib and Hurricane Katrina. … Maybe it's time for Obama to summon his predecessor … and ask him to undertake a special mission: Give Karzai some pointers on how to be a leader in wartime."[19]
Neoconservative Credentials
Boot has numerous connections to the neoconservative community and is described by the New York Times—where his writing has also appeared—as "an influential neoconservative author and policy expert as well as a military historian."[20] He has served as an editor for the Wall Street Journal editorial page, a bastion of neoconservative opinion, and contributes to two neoconservative flagship outlets, the Commentary magazine blog and the William Kristol-edited Weekly Standard. Other contributing editors at the Standard have included Krauthammer, David Frum, Reuel Marc Gerecht, Frederick and Robert Kagan, P.J. O'Rourke, John Podhoretz, and Irwin Stelzer.[21]
Like Boot, many of these figures supported the advocacy campaigns of the Project for the New American Century (PNAC),[22] a letterhead group closely connected to the American Enterprise Institute founded in the late 1990s to promote a "Reaganite policy of military strength and moral clarity."[23] After the 9/11 terrorist attacks, PNAC vociferously promoted an expansive "war on terror," claiming in a now-notorious sign-on letter shortly after the attacks that "even if evidence does not link Iraq directly to the attack, any strategy aiming at the eradication of terrorism and its sponsors must include a determined effort to remove Saddam Hussein from power."[24]
Boot signed several post-9/11 PNAC letters, including its March 19, 2003, "Statement on Post-War Iraq." Published the day before the United States launched its invasion, the letter made plain that PNAC and its supporters viewed Iraq as the first step in a larger reshaping of the region's political landscape, arguing that the invasion and rebuilding of Iraq could "contribute decisively to the democratization of the wider Middle East."[25]
Boot's positions are sometimes hardline even by neoconservative standards. For example, in contrast to neocon trailblazer Irving Kristol—who later in life expressed caution about the United States becoming the "world's sheriff"[26]—Boot has unflinchingly argued that the United States should "unambiguously ... embrace its imperial role."[27] He eagerly promotes broad U.S. military intervention in the Middle East and criticizes diplomatic efforts in the region. In Iran, for instance, Boot claims the United States would be fully justified in taking military action, writing, "Faced with such a flagrant casus belli [as Iranian support of insurgents in Iraq], not to mention President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's blood-curdling threats against our ally, Israel, the United States would be perfectly justified in hitting Iran now, before it acquires nuclear weapons."[28]
Similarly, in a 2003 interview for the Washington Monthly, Boot favored targeting Saudi Arabia. He said, "We need to be more assertive and stop letting all these two-bit dictators and rogue regimes push us around and stop being a patsy for our so-called allies, especially in Saudi Arabia." In a worst-case scenario, he said, the United States may end up "occupying the Saudis' oil fields and administering them as a trust for the people of the region."[29]
Speaking as a surrogate for Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) at a September 2008 retreat hosted by the Washington Institute for Near East Policy, Boot argued that it would be a mistake to push Israeli-Palestinian negotiations, adding that he opposed U.S. engagement with Syria because it might jeopardize efforts to bolster democracy in Lebanon. "John McCain is not going to betray the lawfully elected government of Lebanon," Boot told the Jewish news service JTA during the retreat.[30]
In a January 2005 Los Angeles Times article titled "Necessary Roughness," Boot lambasted outfits like Human Rights Watch for criticizing U.S. interrogation techniques at places like Iraq's Abu Ghraib prison. He minimized the allegations of torture by arguing that such incidents were limited to a few "sickos," and defended techniques like "waterboarding," a simulated drowning technique previously employed by U.S. interrogators. "'Waterboarding' may well meet the United Nations' definition of torture: the infliction of 'severe pain and suffering, mental or physical.' Should this be permitted? I'm not sure. It's hard to know exactly where to draw the line. But I am sure that I reject the absolutist grandstanding of so many of the president's critics, who would turn international law into a suicide pact," Boot wrote. "That such views are now espoused even by some supporters of the war on terrorism is a sign of how complacent we have become. I hope it doesn't take another 9/11 to alert us to the mortal danger we still face."[31]
Boot is the author of several books, some of which have received both accolades and severe criticism. Boot's 2007 book, War Made New: War, Technology, and the Course of History: 1500 to Today, is a case in point. Although it received praise from the likes of McCain and acclaimed historian Paul Kennedy, veteran war reporter Martin Sieff, writing in American Conservative, called the book a "remarkably superficial" historical survey of "war and the way technological developments change the way it is fought."[32]
According to Sieff, War Made New is "filled with the most extraordinary lacunae. It ignores—by accident or design—the most important developments in modern military technology." Seif calls the chapter on Iraq, for example, "inept, misleading, and downright wrong." He added: "The chapter's climax is May 1, 2003, the day President [George W.] Bush declared 'Mission Accomplished' aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln—which is like ending an account of World War II with the Nazis' conquest of France or cutting off 'Hamlet' in the first act and claiming that the play had a happy ending. Since that day, of course, the unending violence in Iraq has confounded the [Donald] Rumsfeld-neocon contention that super-advanced technology has indeed made war new, as Boot claims in his book. Boot does add a half-hearted and vague discussion of some of the disastrous developments in Iraq since 2003. This is especially notable for its obfuscations clearly designed to get Rumsfeld, [Paul] Wolfowitz, and Boot's other neocon friends off the hook for failing to anticipate or prevent any of the developments he mentions."[33]
This effort to rewrite history to salvage the dented reputations of those who orchestrated and promoted the Iraq War is perhaps the most noteworthy aspect of the book, Sieff concludes; as far as the book's contribution to military history, War Made New is "simply farcical."[34]
Boot's other books include The Savage Wars of Peace: Small Wars and the Rise of American Power (2002) and Out of Order Arrogance, Corruption, and Incompetence on the Bench (1998). His most recent book is Invisible Armies: An Epic History of Guerrilla Warfare from Ancient Times to the Present (2013).

text: Well I just recently bought the German airborne along with the rulebook so I wanted to try a simple small piece of terrain for a start. The thought was to have a sort of trenched defense most likely for artillery guns. This was loosely based on the Company of Hero's British defenses - you'll know what I mean if you've played the game. Right now it's just an idea taking shape so it looks pretty shabby at the moment, so bare with me - and also that grey foam stuff sucks..

• 1 1/2 pounds ground turkey meat• salt and pepper• 1 Tbs finely minced garlic• 1 Tbs finely minced fresh rosemary• 3-4 Tbs olive oil• 4 burger buns
For the salad:
• 2-3 cups julienne fresh spinach• 1/4 cup chopped pitted Kalamata olives• 1/4-1/3 cup chopped roasted red peppers• 1/3-1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese• 1-2 Tbs olive oil• 1 Tbs lemon juice (optional)
1. Combine 1 Tbs each finely minced garlic and finely minced rosemary with 3-4 Tbs olive oil in a small mixing bowl.
2. Shape the ground meat into 4 equal size patties about 1 1/2-inches thick, season those with salt and pepper.
3. Pour half of the garlic-rosemary mix onto a plate, top that with the burgers. Rub the rest of the marinade on top and place the plate into the fridge for about 1/2 hour.
4. Make sure you wash your hands really well after handling the raw turkey meat and, while the burgers are in the fridge, make the salad.
5. Use a knife to julienne 2-3 cups of fresh spinach leaves, add those to a mixing bowl and add 1/4 cup chopped pitted Kalamata olives, 1/4 cup chopped roasted red pepper, 1/3 - 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese. Add a little olive oil and squeeze a little lemon juice into it and toss to combine.
6. You want the grill to be nice and hot and you'll want to brush the grates down before adding the burgers.
7. Be careful flipping them over, they might stick a little bit to the grill, and you'll probably have to flip them back and forth a couple of times as you are cooking them all the way through to an internal temperature of 160 degrees.
8. Serve them up on a bun of your choice with a nice spoonful of the salad right on top.
HINTS: This recipe makes fairly thick burgers. You could make them thinner if you like to serve 6 instead of 4, just make a larger salad while you're at it.

About The Pharcyde
They hold nicknames like "Slimkid," "Fatlip" and "Booty Brown." But along with Imani Wilcox, this quartet made up the alternative rap group Pharcyde.
Based in South Central Los Angeles, Hardson, Wilcox, and Robinson were dancers and choreographers who met on the L.A. underground club circuit in the late 1980s. Remember "In Living Color"? Chances are you saw their stint on the sketch comedy series that aired in the early 90's. It was the catalyst to all three men falling under the tutelage of Reggie Andrews, a local high school music teacher.
Pharcyde landed a deal with Delicious Vinyl in 1991, and a year later released their debut album, "Bizarre Ride II the Pharcyde." The album went gold, and the group nabbed slots as a supporting act for both De La Soul and A Tribe Called Quest, not to mention a spot playing Lollapalooza's second stage in 1994.
The group released its second album, "Labcabincalifornia," but followed it with a five-year break --during which Stewart branched out as a solo rapper. His single, "What's Up Fatlip," became a cult hit, and he was on his own until The Pharcyde returned in late 2000 with their third album, "Plain Rap."
The group as it stands now is down to just two members -- Imani Wilcox and Bootie Brown. They were behind 2004's "Humboldt Beginnings," and have stayed busy with various projects over the last nine years. 2012 marked the 20th anniversary of their debut album, and they played the album in its entirety at a tribute show at The Roxy Theatre in Los Angeles.
Along with producers J-Sw!ft and L.A. Jay, Pharcyde began touring the Roxy Theater show "Bizarre Ride Live," along with MC-K Natural, and is working on new music under the moniker The Bizarre Ride.
