Military families are always moving from place to place. It can be hard to know what life is like if you have never been somewhere before!
This page is for those of you looking to learn more about a particular duty station. Read posts written by people who have lived there. The good and the bad.
If you would like to write about your current duty station and be added to the list, please email me 🙂
Even if the duty station you want to write about is already here, I would love to have different perspectives on the same place.
If you are not Military or are in the National Guard or Reserves and would like to write about your hometown, let me know. I would love to include your city as well 🙂

Chikorita's tantrum made her seem really petty lmao. She needed a permanent attitude adjustment badly here...
My favorite scene was when Chikorita befriended those wild Fighting Pokemon and I thought she managed to change a little here, which was nice.
Michellin man ain't got nothing on Team Rocket
Oh gasp, a bad Johto filler. I didn't like seeing jealousy between Ash's Pokemon honestly, it seemed gimmicky. But it was cool seeing Ash battle TR with both Pikachu and Chikorita together since both were on Ash's shoulders now.
It was good that Satoshi's Chikoriita got some attention here, because she really needed it. I smirked when the Joi with glasses pointed out Satoshi's favoritism of Pikachu since someone had to say it eventually. I liked how Chikoriita was able to rally Okorizaru and the others against the Rocket-dan's mecha.
Wow even though Chikorita was a brat, I felt so bad for her since she could never get Ash to love her as much as he loved Pikachu. Chikorita deserved better.

5.4 The VenusChart Function
VenusChart produces a wall chart that can be used to determine when Venus is visible in the morning or evening sky.
Charting the future positions of Venus.
Venus is in a near perfect orbital resonance with the Earth, with the result that the VenusChart graphic approximately repeats after eight years. Elongations to the right in the graphic are such that Venus rises before the Sun, and hence is visible in the morning hours just before dawn. Similarly, elongations to the left are such that Venus sets after the Sun, and hence is visible in the evening hours just after dusk. The phase and magnitude of Venus is indicated by icons scattered around the rim of the graphic.
This is the Venus finder chart beginning in year 1994 and ending in 2002.
To read the chart, locate the month (labeled with the letters J, F, M, A, M, J, J, A, S, O, N, D) and year desired, then move radially out to the outer ring to see the phase. If Venus is to the left of the graphic, it is visible in the evening sky just after dusk, and if it is to the right, it is visible in the morning sky just before dawn.
For instance, during April 1996, Venus is at its maximum elongation from the Sun and is visible in the evening sky.

CADBURY Schweppes looked sweet as its UK confectionery business helped boost pre-tax profits by six per cent.
In the year to December 29, pre-tax profits, excluding amortisation, restructuring and disposal charges, were up were up from é886m to é935m.
Sales at the chocolate and soft drinks giant, were up seven per cent on the previous year to é5,298m.
Chief executive John Sunderland said: éThe most significant feature of the year has been the high levels of profitable volume growth achieved by our major confectionery businesses.é
Its drinks business, which makes Dr Pepper and Snapple, saw ésolid profité performance.
Acquisitions, including Oragina in France and La Casera in Spain, helped boost its beverages division across Europe which saw sales soar by 39 per cent and operating profits up 54 per cent on 2001.
The company announced in December it would buy chewing gum maker Adams from pharmaceutical giant Pfizer for é2.7bn which is due to be completed in March.
Mr Sunderland said: éAcquisitions continued to strengthen our beverage and confectionery businesses and the impending purchase of Adams will make Cadbury Schweppes the worldés leading confectionery company.é
Sales in America of confectionery fell by 19 per cent with operating profits down 52 per cent in what the group described as a échallenging yearé where it saw ésignificant shortfalls in the Canadian and Argentinian businesses.é
In a bid to drive growth, the group announced a management reshuffle to reduce reporting units from 10 to five. It will focus on beverages in the Americas, confectionery in the Americas, confectionery in Europe, Middle East and Africa, beverages in Europe and a fifth unit focusing on Asia Pacific.
Mr Sunderland said: éThese changes are expected to bring significant benefits, delayering the group taking costs out of the centre and regions and speeding up decision making.é
However he said the changes would have ésome impacté on the groupés targets this year.
é2003 will be a year of transition as we consolidate these various developments. This will have some impact on our achievement against our targets for this year, but will provide an excellent platform for future revenue and profit growth.é
Total dividend is up five per cent at 11.5p.

"Very reassured, but a little rushed at New Victoria Hospital"
About: New Victoria Hospital / Day surgery New Victoria Hospital Day surgery Glasgow G42 9LF
Posted by syphon481 (as ),
I had day surgery recently. I was nervous about the general anaesthetic only as I had not had a straight forward recovery from a general anaesthetic a number of year ago. I was reassured by everyone particularly the anaesthetist who explained that she would be giving me different drugs. I woke up in recovery and was amazed to hear that I had been there for 20 minutes. I had no ill effect from the anaesthetic.
On returning to the ward I was given tea and offered a sandwich, I refused the sandwich as I felt slightly nauseous but had 2 cups of tea and a biscuit. I was asked to sit up which I did but felt I would be better lying down for a bit longer. I was allowed to do this. My only slight issue was a feeling that I was being rushed to progress to sit up when I didn't feel ready and to getting up and dressed. I managed however and the whole experience was almost as good as it could be.
Response from Paul Cannon, Head of Administration, Acute Services Division, Greater Glasgow & Clyde NHS 5 years ago
Thank you for taking the time and trouble to provide your very kind and thoughtful comments. I hope that the feeling of being a little rushed to sit up after your procedure didn't overshadow the overall experience.
It means a great deal to staff to read these comments, and I am very grateful that you did so.
Once again please accept my thanks for sending us these comments. Staff involved in caring for you will be delighted that you appreciated the care provided to you.

Airfoil->Spline->Smooth Matlab
1 Attachment(s)
Hello everyone, I´m working with Matlab to draw airfoils. I use splines to improve the visualization, but in the leading edge I have problems, I want to have a curve more smoother, like a circle in the leading edge.
Anybody knows other method to join the points of an airfoil?
Anybody knows a smooth method to use whit airfoils?
In the photo, you can see my problem. I use cubic spline (natural conditions).
Thank you, and sorry for my English.
I think you did something wrong in the spline....
2 Attachment(s)
Thank you FMDenaro for your answer. I have two splines, one for the upper surface and another for the lower surface. I can´t use an spline to join all the points.
why not? you define the law x=x(s), y=y(s) with s a natural parameter ...

Hi Dawn: As Stefanie said, there are many different reasons that a lymph node can become enlarged other than the cancer returning. You have to remember all of the trama that your body has been thru and any cold, sore throat, toothache, etc., can cause a lymph node to become enlarged. Have you contacted your onco? If not, please do so immediately. No need to stress and worry until you know something for sure. BTW, don't ever give up hope. There are many women on this board that are 5, 7, 9 years free of cancer. There are some of us that have had a recurrance or even 2 or 3 that are still here. There is ALWAYS HOPE!
Please keep us informed.

Woman Police officer faces Schizophrenic gunman who shot 80 pellets in her head
A WOMAN police officer who was shot in the head at point-blank range confronted the man who allegedly tried to kill her in court yesterday.
WPC Suzanne Hudson, 33, who is scarred for life in the face and hand, told a jury she had been working as a frontline officer for a week when she was blasted with a sawn-off shotgun and left fighting for life.
Schizophrenic James Leslie, 37, stared at the West Yorkshire Police officer from the dock as she began to give evidence at his trial.
The court has heard that Leslie lured WPC Hudson and PC Richard Whitely to his flat in Leeds at 4.15am on December 4, last year, by throwing a bottle through a neighbour's window and telling them "call the feds".
Leslie mockingly repeated the word "police" back to her in a gangster-style Jamaican accent before shooting her through the window
The officers arrived to answer what they thought was a routine call.
WPC Hudson, who is 5ft 1in, knocked on Leslie's door and identified herself as a police officer, Leeds Crown Court heard.
Leslie mockingly repeated the word "police" back to her in a gangster-style Jamaican accent before shooting her through the window, blasting her with 80 pellets, the jury was told.
Then as PC Whiteley tended his colleague, Leslie rode off on a bike shouting, "Do you want some more?"
WPC Hudson told the court she had worked for three years as a neighbourhood officer dealing with nonurgent incidents but had requested a transfer to frontline duties.
She said: "It was something that I always wanted to do. It's essentially what most people join the job for and I wanted to gain experience."
Leslie denies attempted murder, an alternative charge of causing grievous bodily harm with intent and possessing a shotgun with intent to endanger life. He admits possessing a prohibited firearm and smashing the neighbour's window.
The trial continues.

The Queen of Spades and Other Stories Paperback
by Alexander Pushkin
Edited by Andrew Kahn
Part of the Oxford World's Classics series
The Queen of Spades has long been acknowledged as one of the world's greatest short stories.
In this classic literary representation of gambling, Alexander Pushkin explores the nature of obsession.
Hints of the occult and gothic alternate with scenes of St Petersburg high-society in the story of the passionate Hermann's quest to master chance and make his fortune at the card-table.
Underlying the taut plot is an ironical treatment of the romantic dreamer and social outcast.
This volume contains three other major works of Pushkin's fiction, moving from the witty parodies of sentimentalism and high melodrama in The Tales of Belkin to an early experiment with recreating the past in Peter the Great's Blackamoor.
It concludes with the novel-length masterpiece The Captain's Daughter, which combines historical fiction in the manner of Sir Walter Scott with the colour and devices of the Russian fairy-tale in a narrative of rebellion and romance.
These new translations, as well as being meticulously faithful to the original, do full justice to the elegance and fluency of Pushkin's prose. The Introduction provides insightful readings of the stories and places them in their European literary context.
A chronology of the Pugachov Uprising illuminates the events in The Captain's Daughter.
ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe.
Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.

Review by Ljrei77
Pushkin is a one of the most significant Russian authors. He was read in schools all across Russia and is one of the most pivotal Russian authors of all time. The Queen of Spades is a brilliant tale that addresses the intrigue, mystery and suddenness of life as well as the fatality of avarice. He writes in such a way that it is nothing like I've read before. I can't describe how smooth and good the diction is. It is so readable because one can not only relate to it so well but it sort of has a fairy tale element to it. I highly suggest anyone interested in Russian Literature, novellas of intrigue and mystique or just the want for a good selection of stories to pick this book up.
Review by pnorman4345
The invasion of Ukraine by Russia has just begun as I write this. I can not help but try to find reasons for the invasion in the stories: the acceptance or rather the expectation of improbable and bewildering fate plays a role in these stories, the prevalence of force and violence?The Queen of Spaces and The Captain's Daughter are wonderful stories.

The key to having perfect chrome and a perfect bike is not to use it and keep it covered in a heated dry garage.
Otherwise, this is for you:
Depending on the bike, I'm sure that you've got some chrome somewhere. When I see a bike that has perfect chrome
that is clean, the "WOW" factor kicks in for me. You could have any old kind of bike in various states of internal disrepair,
but the condition of the chrome says a lot about the bike. Nice chrome sells a bike. Dirt and tarnish doesn't sell a bike at all.
If you want to brighten up your chrome and care for it in the long run, here is some good info.
All chrome should be cleaned, waxed and polished on a regular basis.
WARNING: Only use light chemicals if you don't want to create abrasion.
Some chrome is very thin so too much abrasion will possibly wear through the chrome to expose whatever is under it and then there is no turning back. The trick is to use the least abrasive method that will do the job. Some chrome needs abrasion because it is too far gone.
Abrasives leave scratches that create a place to start the rust going and rust never sleeps as Neil Young would say.
If a piece comes off easily with a couple of screws it might be a better idea to remove it and soak it first if it needs a thorough cleaning.
I have used a very fine wire wheel on a grinder and the kind used on a drill, but only for the worst kind of rust. I used
a dremel moto tool with the fine wire wheel attachment in cracks and crevices. Mild dish washing liquid and very fine
#000 steel wool can get less stubborn stains and rust down to a minimum.
You can use (gently) a wet pot cleaning steel wool pad like a Brillo or SOS pad but in either cases using the soap and
a little water as a surfactant with the steel wool. This will help break down the scum, rust, dirt or whatever, and help avoid too much scratching and abrasion that can make things worse. Try an assortment of brushes to fit into different areas..
And dirt from gaining a foothold again. Use a chrome polish. I like Mother's Chrome Polish. I bought it and used it the first time expecting a thick sort of wax but it's a thin bluish paste that does a great job.
It won't take away the pits, but the chrome sure does shine! There is a product called Wenol that is getting good reviews. Apparently it's a superior metal polish, and I hope to try it soon.
I melted part of my bike cover and something else onto the hot manifold pipes and exhaust. It is ugly.
There is inevitably crud buildup on exhaust systems. The new bikes have smooth chrome but on the older ones chrome gets pitted or scratched and seems to host crud more readily.
Here's a cure. When the pipes are cold, you could try different solvents.
I have heard of someone using a white cotton cloth, or old white cotton sock, or t-shirt, or piece of an old white towel without dye, and applying gasoline, or WD40, or carburetor cleaner, or some other kind of petroleum based solvent to soak for several hours.
The longer the better as long as it doesn't dry out. Do it out doors in a well ventilated area but not too windy as to dry it out, you can wrap a gasoline soaked cloth around the pipe and cover it with something not affected by the solvent like aluminum foil.
You can also keep spraying WD40 or applying the carburetor cleaner. It's not a quick job, but the results are worth it. I like to try to get the bulk of the stubborn stuff off by using #000 steel wool directly on stuff that is stuck on there. Avoid scratching the pipes and persistence will win out.
Glass cleaner is a good pre-soak. Let the magic of chemistry reduce the physical work. I use car wash soap in a bucket, and a large sponge to apply it.
Let it soak and do it's work, then get the grime off with a sponge and rinse with your garden hose. I don't have a power washer, but I would love to try one on the bike at a low setting.
I do have a leaf blower, and I have used it to do different things such as remove snow from my porch, as well as dry the bike after a wash, and to "shoo" my wife away when she is nagging me about the bike while I'm drying it.
I'm tempted to bring the bike to the car wash in the heat of the summer when I can just wipe off the seat afterwards and ride away. The breeze will dry the bike. Now that sounds wacky, but it's good for a laugh anyway.

April so far.... Switzerland, the most beautiful country, almost too perfect, also some school advertsiing.
A photograph from part of a campaign from a school. Photographed on the Fujifilm GFX 50S with Profoto B2s.
DOCUMENTARY UPDATE: I have begun to explore the idea of photographing the state of the NHS without actually going into a hospital.
"1000 Years of Human Life" ... just an idea for what I could call a project about drug rationing in the NHS. There must be an accumulative number of the number of years of human life that are not being lived because of drug rationing and shortages. Today in The Times a collection of drug companies have said they will leave the UK if there is not an additional £20 billion added to the NHS budget.

A most generic spacetime field in the bosonic open string field theory is of the form:

Beauty products such as lipstick, mascara and eye pencils are a perfect breeding ground for germs and bacteria which can put Britain's women at risk of infections, according to the research.
Mintel, the market research analysts, have issued a warning that while the expiry dates of food are highlighted on packaging there is a distinct lack of information on the use-by dates of popular cosmetics.
The report found that just one in four (28per cent) of British women discarding their make-up, shampoo and shower gel if they smell strange or become discoloured.
Although most people would not dream of eating a suspect item of food, it seems Britons are decidedly less discerning about their cosmetics, says Mintel. It says that whilst consumers are all too used to monitoring use by dates on food products, they are far less aware of issues relating to cosmetics.
Alexandra Richmond, Mintel's senior beauty analyst, said: "It is not simply a matter of products no longer performing to optimal standards, old make-up can be hazardous to our health. Like food, cosmetics can expire and become dangerous to use. There may be far more lurking at the bottom of your make-up bag than an old dried up mascara.
"These latest findings highlight a lack of information available on cosmetic sell-by dates. Repeated exposure to bacteria from the mouth affects lip colour cosmetics, while out-of-date mascara and eye pencils can raise the risk of infections. Natural and organic products containing fewer or no preservatives have a shorter shelf-life than conventional products and therefore potentially harbour higher levels of bacteria."
The report highlights the fact that many women struggle with cosmetic use-by dates and the period after opening symbol is fraught with problems. Particularly if a product has been bought on impulse, it may be difficult for a woman to remember when she bought a particular beauty product and she is likely to continue to use it until it runs out or goes off.
The research also looks at attitudes towards reading cosmetics ingredients.
Just one in four women said they frequently check the ingredients on cosmetics and toiletries they use. Almost half of women don't read the ingredients of brands they trust and almost a quarter think there is no need to check ingredients if a product is natural.
Reading ingredients is difficult for one in five women owing to the small print or the fact that ingredients are hidden in peel-back labels.
The report found that only 19 per cent of women think about both ingredient origin and the impact of their toiletries on the environment. Concern peaks among women with children, which presents opportunities to the babies and children toiletries category.
Ms Richmond said: "As the UK's population continues to age, there is a very real need to make it as easy as possible for all users to be able to read the ingredients if they so wish."

Top 5 Advantages To Lightwave Therapy For Non-invasive Skin Rejuvenation
In recent years, the trend toward non-surgical procedures for skin rejuvenation has increased by as much as 40 percent! However, there are so many non-surgical treatments these days that it can be hard to decipher which one is the best for you. LIGHTWAVE Therapy may be the answer. Through an innovative combination of Blue Light Therapy,Red Light Therapy and Infrared Light Therapy, LIGHTWAVE offers five significant advantages over its competitors.
1) It's a technological breakthrough.
After years of research, clinical applications, and trial and error, LIGHTWAVE Therapy represents a significant technological breakthrough using state-of-the-art Super Luminescent LED Hybrid Diodes. In fact, it is the most sophisticated LEDT (light emitting diode therapy) application in the industry today.
What makes LIGTHWAVE technology so unique is that it's the first light therapy system specifically designed for aesthetic application of the entire body. Plus, it can treat up to three target areas at the same time.
2) It treats multiple issues.
In much the same way that photosynthesis works with plants, LIGHTWAVE Therapy uses light energy to stimulate the body's regenerative metabolism at the cellular level. From the nourishment of cells, to the acceleration of collagen and elastin, LIGHTWAVE does the body good in more ways than one.
This hands-free technology has several pre-programmed settings to treat a wide range of skin care and other related issues. Each program focuses on a specific area of improvement, including:
- Facial rejuvenation
- Wrinkles
- Cellulite
- Scars
- Stretch marks
- Flaccid skin
- Blemishes
- And more
The LIGHTWAVE system also has the ability to customize programs for individual client concerns. So whether you have a specific skin care condition that needs attention, or you simply want to protect your skin from aging and harsh environmental factors, LIGHTWAVE Therapy can help.
3) It treats the problem, not the symptom.
"The LIGHTWAVE LED Systems are unique because they don't just treat symptoms," says Dr. Paul Cenac, an Aesthetic Laser Consultant of AGAPE Medi-Spa and Laser Centers. "They actually change the composition, quality and appearance of the skin due to extensive non-ablative cellular stimulation of multiple cell lines that contribute to the overall health and vitality of the skin."
4) There are no negative consequences.
Unlike other aesthetic skin rejuvenation treatments,LIGHTWAVE Therapy comes with zero negative consequences:
- No pain
- No side effects
- No thermal damage
- No discomfort
- No discoloration
- No down time
- No surgery
- No scarring
Plus, most LIGHTWAVE Therapy clients describe this pain-free experience as a soothing, relaxing one.
5) It's affordable.
For optimal effectiveness, LIGHTWAVE Therapy is typically recommended two-three times a week for a 4- to 6-week period. Then to maintain desired results, treatments are generally recommended once a month thereafter. Fortunately, the cost of each treatment is dramatically lower than that of other aesthetic skin are options.So despite its frequency, LIGHTWAVE Therapy is a painless, affordable one.

The method of the medium is the message
For a series of installations at Leeds Print Festival, Music ditched the printed posters in favour of displaying the screenprinting screens used to print them…
Normally when you screenprint an exhibition poster, it's the paper you've printed on that becomes the medium for your message. However, design agency Music opted to ditch the prints in favour of displaying the screenprinting screens they used to make them to welcome visitors to this week's Leeds Print Festival…
Music created five screens as signs to display in the windows of the curved façade of Leeds Gallery on York Street where the festival is currently running until January 27. Here are some photos of the screens in situ:
"The screens work very well as signage for the event," says the festival's organiser Amber Smith, "but as many of the visitors to the festival are new to print it is nice to show the other side of the process and what makes the magic."

Pellegrini happy to sacrifice cup as City focus on Dynamo
Manuel Pellegrini did not use the expression "down to the bare bones", but otherwise his Harry Redknapp impression was almost perfect as he revealed he had only 13 fit players for today's FA Cup fifth-round tie at Chelsea and would have to promote some of the younger members of his squad.
"We always like to put out a strong team in all competitions and my priority is always the next game," the Manchester City manager said. "But maybe this time will be an exception. There are some moments when you have to make an intelligent decision about what is best for the team. Getting the team selection right for this match has given me a big problem. It would not have been quite so difficult had we been able to play on the Saturday."
Pellegrini lost that battle some time ago and, though he is right to point out that other leagues generally have only one domestic cup competition and frequently switch fixtures to help clubs with upcoming games in the Champions League, it remains City's own decision to fly to Ukraine tomorrow for Wednesday's last-16 first leg against Dynamo Kyiv. An alternative would have been to use the day after the Chelsea game as a rest day and fly to Ukraine on Tuesday.
"That would not be ideal preparation," Pellegrini explained. "When you fly so far east, you lose three hours, your training day is completely disrupted. We thought it best to get the flight and the time lag out of the way and have a full day of preparation as normal.
"We took a risk last season in flying back from Abu Dhabi on the day before an FA Cup tie against Middlesbrough and it didn't work, but the circumstances were different then. If you fly back from Abu Dhabi, you get here three hours early."
Even before the Chelsea game was switched to today, you could see where City's priorities lay. Pellegrini is not about to pretend a cup tie that pits last season's champions against the runners-up is what he would have asked for at this stage of the season, and neither can he promise the team he puts out at Stamford Bridge will be strong enough to justify the game's tie-of-the-round billing.
"We told the fans one week ago that we are going to play with a young team," he said. "That's all we can do, I hope they understand. If they choose not to pay for the ticket because it is not a real game any longer, I understand that, too.
"For me, it is very difficult. All the other countries in Europe have just one cup. We have two and I have tried to support them both. But the situation eventually becomes impossible. Should we manage to stay in the FA Cup and also reach the quarter-final of the Champions League for the first time, someone will have to tell me how we can fit in all the games. It is impossible."
In fairness to Pellegrini, he is not the first Premier League manager to find the FA Cup tends to work to the detriment of teams with Champions League ambitions. Alex Ferguson regularly put out weakened sides in the domestic competition. Pellegrini has injury problems, too, with Kevin De Bruyne, Samir Nasri and Wilfried Bony among a list of players he is unable to call on, and he has just seen his side lose their last two home games in the league to title rivals. What is a manager in his last season at a club supposed to do? Pellegrini described last week as difficult, but this week brings Chelsea, Dynamo and a League Cup final against Liverpool in the space of eight days.
"We weren't expecting to drop league points at home, and it is frustrating not to be able to get back to league action to try and put things right," he said. "But we analysed with the players a lot of the things we are not doing well, so I hope that in the two big games we have coming up this week, we are going to return to our normal performances."
Note that the manager said two big games there, not three. He seems to have overlooked today's contest, at least in terms of the importance of the result. Which is actually fair enough. City are already in one cup final and, as he prepares to make way for Pep Guardiola, the possibility of claiming the first silverware of the season next Sunday is bound to appeal to Pellegrini. No more and no less than the prospect of taking City into the Champions League last eight. City's growth in the Champions League knockout stages has been stunted at this stage by Barcelona in the past, but this season they have already gone further than Manchester United and have an easier route to the quarter-finals.
Not that a wily old bird like Pellegrini is taking anything for granted. "When we were eliminated by Barcelona, it was not said that Barcelona were a good team, it was said that City are a bad team that can't play in Europe," he observed. "Now we have won our group for the first time and we must try to demonstrate we are a better team than Kyiv.
"I am glad that Uefa have decided to lift the ban on supporters because, whatever the crime, playing football without fans is one of the worst decisions that can be taken. I don't like to play in an empty stadium, it isn't good for football. I have watched Kyiv's group games and they are a good team. We cannot allow ourselves to think it will be easy. If we do that, we could go out.
"I always think back to when I was at Malaga. We were the team everyone wanted to be drawn against, but we managed to put out some good sides. Our performance is the important thing."

Arguing, proving, inferring, concluding, solving a mathematical problem, might all be said to be kinds of reasoning. Their aims and purposes are different. The aim of argument is conviction; one tries to get someone to agree that some statement is true or false. You may get a man to agree that a statement is true by showing him that it follows from other statements which he already accepts. You may get him to agree that a statement is false because from it there follows another which he rejects.
(P. F. Strawson, Introduction to Logical Theory [London: Methuen, 1952], 12)
Note from KBJ: Argumentation is necessarily ad hominem, i.e., directed to a particular person (or set of like-minded people).

The audio/video resources featured below are resources for pastors and churches.
In this video, Dr. Gary Smalley and Pastor Ted Cunningham outline accountability as a critical component to victory over sexual temptation and addiction. Building a network of accountability (through various means and relationships) help to make moment by moment decisions in favor of holiness and freedom. Whether you are struggling or know someone who is, accountability is key.
This video explores sexual addiction as any persistent and esclalating unhealthy pattern of sexual behavior. It is compulsive in nature, used to avoid and change feelings despite destructive consequences to self and others. It has many different levels of acting out, but the underlying characteristics are the same.
Keep in mind the four classic components of sexual addiction - complusivity, continuation despite consequesnces, preoccupation and excalation.
This DVD-CD set Somebody's Daughter: A Journey to Freedom from Pornography focuses on the struggle featuring Christians in ministry - a testimony that this effects Christians and non-Christians alike. This is a timeless piece that can promote awareness and also help those facing this destructive addiction. The spoken testimonies and songs speak to the hearts of the men, women, husbands and wives - the victims - being oppressed by this insidious industry.
See how this resource raises awareness of the pervasiveness and destructiveness of pornography.
The Big Question is the most important question you can ask yourself — "Do you want to get well?" Dr. Mark Laaser asks this question in the context of teaching from John 5, where Jesus heals the invalid man at the Pool of Bethesda. This powerful teaching really is the turning point in the struggle to find freedom.

–- WWE Magazine recently interviewed a bunch of wrestlers asking them about their favorite WrestleMania moments. Kelly Kelly answered by saying says she's still waiting for her's.
"I've never contested a singles match at 'Mania—I've always been in either Lumberjill bouts or a Battle Royal. I'm praying that, in years to come, I will have that tag bout or singles match or whatnot," she says in their WrestleMania XXVIII issue.
"At The 25th Anniversary of WrestleMania, we had Torrie Wilson, Jackie Gayda and Molly Holly come in. They're Divas I used to watch when I was younger, so it was really cool just to be in the same ring with them. I've rewatched the match, but I'm still waiting for that moment."
She continues, "I make sure to keep all of my outfits, though; they're in a big suitcase. But they're little outfits, so they don't take up much room."
— WWE.com has a feature on all of The Undertaker's WrestleMania victims.
— WWE Hall of Famer Jimmy Hart appeared on Busted Open, which airs every Monday, Wednesday and Friday on Sirius 92 and XM 208 from 2:00 to 4:00 p.m. He briefly spoke about WrestleMania:
WrestleMania coming to New Jersey: "When I heard about that I thought Holey moley! That might be a little chilly for a WrestleMania 29 coming up there around the Northern area. But we spent so much time back in the day up there, and I think for people in New York, they're a different breed there, and New Jersey and that whole area up there. They're more used to the cold than we are down here in Florida now. But I'll tell you why I like it: because people ask me today 'Jimmy, you've done so many things for the wrestling business.
"You hit the Hall of Fame ring in 2005, 93 thousand plus people in Detroit up there with the Honky Tonk Man… and of course the Harts against The Bulldogs.' But WrestleMania I is still the most important thing to me because whoever was on WrestleMania I, we were kind of the pioneers back then because we didn't know if this was gonna work or not. It was on closed-circuit TV's and movie theaters, and if it had not been successful, we probably wouldn't be talking on the phone now."
WrestleMania being at stadiums instead of arenas: "Here's what I think happens: We're gonna be on course for Miami for this upcoming WrestleMania 28…65 or 70,000 have already been sold I think. So I think so many people (82 thousand) wanna go see this now you almost have to have it in the arenas outdoors that can hold that many because the pay-per-views do so well around the country and everything else, and—I don't care where you go—if you drive by one of the local establishments, all the PPV's are held there, the WrestleManias, they just have everything there. It's such a big thing because a lot of people can't drive down this year to Miami because I'm sure it'll be sold out in no time."

Huh? What are you on about? The very sentence you say Lenin did not say is included within the longer sentence from Lenin that you quote!!!! It is very clear what lenin is saying . He is making a distinction between state capitalism run in the interests of the capitalist class and state capitalism run (allegedly) in the interests of the whole people and is calling the latter socialism. The beginning and the end of the longer quote make absolutely no difference to the substantive meaning of the quote in question
Regarding the convention of calling socialism the lower phase of communism perhaps you might care to cite hard evidence to back up your claim that this orginated in the Second International and prior to Lenin saying it. Where did you get this information from?
And that's a lie. Lenin did not say "socialism is merely state-capitalist monopoly which is made to serve the interests of the whole people", no, he said: "For socialism is merely the next step forward from state-capitalist monopoly. Or, in other words, socialism is merely state-capitalist monopoly which is made to serve the interests of the whole people and has to that extent ceased to be capitalist monopoly."
You're taking the quote completely out of context and are omitting it's beginning and end. If put together, it's quite clear that he says, socialism is the next step from state-monopoly capitalism, and has ceased to be capitalist monopoly.
I do not miss, you do.
Lenin did not invent that convention, he was following the Second International Marxism convention where lower-phase/first-stage communism was called "socialism" and pure communism/higher-stage communism was called just "communism". The usual criticism was Lenin receives for this is that he 1) did not realize that Marx did not follow this convention and 2) Lenin invented it, and both points are proven wrong if you read the State and Revolution.
Of course the scientific distinction between socialism and communism is clear, Marx did not believe otherwise(the fact that Lenin sometimes used different words for Marx's concepts is completely irrelevant, they're still talking about the same things). Marx did not believe that a state would not exist in lower-phase, he believed that a bourgeois state would not exist. In lower-stage communism/socialism, the state loses it's political functions and becomes an economic coordination mechanism.
On the other point you make about state capitalist monopoly you are misreading Lenin. He is trying to distinguish one form of state- capitalist monopoly from another and clearly says "socialism is merely state-capitalist monopoly which is made to serve the interests of the whole people" meaning as opposed to a state capitalist monopoly serving the interests of the capitalists only. THAT is the point you miss . But it is still a state capitalist monopoly that he calls "socialism" and you can hardly deny what appears in black and white in front of your very eyes!
No you are dead wrong on both counts. Lenin did NOT simply comment on the fact, as he saw it, that people regarded socialism as the lower the phase of communism. It was actually lenin himself who introduced this innovation and palmed it off as a convention. Not only that, far this being a mere observation, he approved of this distinction in saying "But the scientific distinction between socialism and communism is clear." Lenin's confusion ran ever deeper since he contended that in this lower phase of communusm which he dubbed socialism"all citizens (woud be) transformed into hired employees of the state" . That a state would still exist in communism albeit the lower phase, contradicts everything Marx said about communism and also implies the continuation of wage labour as opposed to labour vouchers
So in no way is Lenin implying that state-monopoly capitalism run the interests of the whole people is socialism. He says "for socialism is merely the next step forward from state-capitalist monopoly. Or, in other words, socialism is merely state-capitalist monopoly which is made to serve the interests of the whole people and has to that extent ceased to be capitalist monopoly." So he's clearly saying that socialism comes after state-capitalist monopoly, so how can it be inferred that he's saying that socialism is state-monopoly capitalism run in the interests of the whole people? "...ceased to be capitalist monopoly". If state-capitalist monopoly ceased to be capitalist, it's obviously not state-capitalist monopoly anymore.
What Lenin means is crystal clear. He means: State-monopoly capitalism is the last stage of capitalism, it's the most advanced form of capitalism so far, it's the last form of capitalism before socialism, the only place to go from here is socialism. Advancing FROM monopolies is advancing TOWARDS socialism. "state-monopoly capitalism is a complete material preparation for socialism, the threshold of socialism".
That's simply ridiculous. Lenin didn't describe socialism as the lower phase("first-stage) of communism, he said that what Marx called lower-stage communism is "usually" called "socialism"(usually called that during his times, not Marx's), yet in the State and Revolution, where he allegedly "redefines" socialism, he still calls his socialism(lower phase communism) "communist society".
And no, Lenin never defined socialism as "state capitalist monopoly run in the interests of the whole people". That's another fabrication abused by Anarchists and Ultra-Lefts. The original quote is from here http://www.marxists.org/archive/leni.../ichtci/11.htm
Hi Inferme
I think the point about Lenin's redefintion of socialism is that he was not "merely" updating the term to reflect modern usage. He was himself actively contributing to this alteration in the meaning of the term. An added complication is that his describing socialism as the lower phase of communiusm (which is a distortion of Marx's view) contradicts his other new definition of socialism as state capitalist monopoly run in the interests of the whole people. Lenin was thus fundamentally inconsistent even in his redefintion of socialism
Regarding "vanguard-ism", it's not central to Leninism(let's pretend there's such a thing as Leninism). It's not anything to Leninism, "vanguard-ism" is a later Stalinist invention. The vanguard party is an entirely different thing, and good examples would be the pre-war SPD, the RKP(b), and the CNT-FAI. The point of one is to raise the entire class-conscious proletariat to the level of revolutionaries, and to distill class-consciousness to those workers who are still under the spell of false consciousness. The vanguard Party has nothing to do with conspiracies, small circles of revolutionaries, elitism, Blanqusim, and all that nonsense. The SPD in it's revolutionary period, for example, had a million worker-members(and 2.5 million workers in it's trade unions), and it was in Lenin's eyes, until 1914, the model vanguard party.
And yeah, sorry for 3 posts, but it didn't all fit into 1.

Crystal chemistry of Rare Earth Elements in fluorapatite and some calc-silicates
Fleet, Michael E.; Pan, Yuanming
European Journal of Mineralogy Volume 7 Number 3 (1995), p. 591 - 606
46 references
published: May 19, 1995
manuscript accepted: Jan 20, 1995
manuscript received: Aug 8, 1994
DOI: 10.1127/ejm/7/3/0591
ArtNo. ESP147050703013, Price: 29.00 €
Abstract The uptake of individual rare earth elements (REE) by fluorapatite (FAp) and cuspidine has been studied by hydrothermal synthesis at about 700°C and 0.1 GPa P(H2O). The REE content of fluorapatites crystallised with approximately 10 mol% Ca4REE6(SiO4)6F2 in the starting composition varies from 12 wt% in Nd-FAp to 3.2 wt% in Lu-FAp, showing preference for LREE over HREE. The uptake pattern is convex upward, peaking at Nd, and has a double-"humped" appearance consistent with contribution from 4/crystal field stabilisation energy. A similar uptake pattern is obtained for fluorapatites crystallised with approximately 2500 ppm REE in the starting composition. The experimental uptake patterns are similar to REE patterns of natural fluorapatites in some metamorphic and metasomatic rocks. Synthetic cuspidine coexisting with fluorapatite has a marked preference for HREE over LREE, and uptake is limited to the composition NaCa2REESi2O7F2. Bond valence calculation is a powerful first-approximation technique for deducing REE site preference of end-member calc-silicate mineral structures with multiple Ca positions. The REE characteristics of fluorapatite and some important metamorphic calc-silicate minerals (epidote-group minerals, vesuvianite, pumpellyite and cuspidine) are consistent with predictions from bond valence and size of Ca positions.
fluorapatite • calc-silicate minerals • rare earth elements • hydrothermal synthesis • REE crystal chemistry.

momento mori
I awoke in the middle of the night last evening and walked the house in the dark. Kenneth and Caitlin were still stirring, as the older children sometimes do on the weekend. As I climbed the stairs back to our room I felt a wave of gratitude.
Here we are all under one roof for who knows how much longer, yet such a privilege to still be together even as four of seven attend college and work hard and make us proud as they figure out what's next.
I got back into bed and Debbie put her arm around me in her sleep. I said "I love you," and she whispered, half-asleep "I love you, too," and for that moment all was well, and I had a sense that all would be well in the future, come what may.
As I lay there in the stillness, an encounter from five years ago came back to me in vivid color. I had just preached the funeral of a man taken unexpectedly following a routine surgery. I was at the wake afterward and sat next to an unassuming man in his mid-50s whose suit was impeccable and whose polite manners suggested a quiet grace and a bearing of humility in his obvious accomplishments, but also a bit of world-weariness.
