Gents:

I have taken the liberty of filling in subject lines.  I'd rather not have to-- it gives the appearance of me trying to put words in your mouth, but I am just trying to make the posts more findable through the Search function.

Please take a moment to make the subject lines to your posts more findable.

From CD's post on another thread that will not let me reply:

As Woodrow Wilson, progressive president of Princeton University before becoming president of the United States, said in a speech in 1914, “I have often said that the use of a university is to make young gentlemen as unlike their fathers as possible."

Sad that he detested his own father rightly or wrongly:

Concerning Breitbart:
« Reply #310 on: February 22, 2017, 06:00:04 PM »
I have been burned a number of times by citing Breitbart.  Though often it goes where the pravdas fear to tread, its' headlines are often disingenuous and deceptive.  I'd like to ask that it be used as a source around here with care.  Please click on the background sources it cites AND READ THEM before citing it here.  Where possible CITE THE ORIGINAL SOURCE INSTEAD OF BREITBART.

Thank you.

Looking for:

a) pregnancy rates among US women serving in "former Yugoslavia" during US intervention there in the '90s.

b) pregnancy rates on a certain US ship in the Gulf around the time of the Gulf War.

Looking for:

a) pregnancy rates among US women serving in "former Yugoslavia" during US intervention there in the '90s.

As of late June[1996], 62 pregnancies were reported among the 2,000 or so women serving in Bosnia. That is something else doctors say they did not expect, although the pregnancy rate does not exceed the average for women in the Army overall.
http://www.nytimes.com/1996/07/03/world/bosnia-s-a-safe-and-healthy-place-for-the-gi-s-anyway.html

https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/politics/1996/07/23/pregnancy-rate-of-unit-in-bosnia-hits-army-average/018879d2-4fe8-4850-a332-de37ab2cb41c/?utm_term=.5f08c49d6c14
Whether in peace or war -- or Bosnia -- the U.S. Army is discovering that about 5 percent of its female soldiers tend to get pregnant.

Latest statistics from Tuzla, headquarters for U.S. forces in Bosnia, show 68 of the 1,500 Army women deployed in the peace enforcement operation dispatched back to bases in Germany because of pregnancies.


b) pregnancy rates on a certain US ship in the Gulf around the time of the Gulf War.
[/quote]

http://militarymedicine.amsus.org/doi/full/10.7205/MILMED.172.5.511
Looking at the Navy during the Persian Gulf War, the repair ship Arcadia had 36 of its 360 women redeployed secondary to pregnancy during the first Persian Gulf War.3 In other conflicts such as Somalia, there were 72 women that became pregnant while using prophylactic mefloquine. They suffered an unexpectedly high rate of spontaneous abortion.10 And in Bosnia, it was reported that one female was evacuated every 3 days for pregnancy.

Gents:

We here are bright enough and strong minded enough to glean value from Breitbart, but it is regarded by many as a scurrilous publication-- and not without reason! 

One of the things we look to accomplish with this forum is to have it  as a repository of "the record" so that it may serve as a vehicle for research and source material to use against the Pravdas and the Ministry of Truth.

Breitbart just does not cut it for that.

Please use it only when there are not other sources and please take a moment to scan for irresponsible bullshite.

Looking for an iconic photo out of the floods after the Houston hurricane;  Manly man, carrying a woman holding a baby through flood waters.  Some urgency on this, looking to use it as part of applying myself to be a guest on Tucker Carlson.

Speaking of which, my previous post remains front and center. 

Time of the essence here.

Man, Woman, & Child: The true nature of things

Time of the essence here.

https://www.dallasnews.com/news/weather/2017/08/28/felt-relief-story-behind-touching-photo-baby-asleep-harvey-rescue

https://dallasnews.imgix.net/1503963561-NM_27floodinghoustonrescueLD08.jpg?auto=format&q=50&or=0&w=800



Before the photo that would make her the face of the Hurricane Harvey rescue effort, Cathy Pham was trapped on the second story of her southwest Houston home, watching the floodwaters rise. 

She; her husband, Troy Pham; their 13-month-old son, Aidan; and a 73-year-old neighbor had sought refuge in a loft bedroom in the early hours of Sunday as Hurricane Harvey drenched the city.

Water on their street was chest deep as Brays Bayou overflowed, something that the family has never seen in seven years of living there. The first floor of their home filled with 2 feet of water.

“We were waiting for daylight to try to get out, but by that point the water kept rising and rising and it was unsafe to even try to get out [by truck],” Troy said by phone on Monday. It wasn’t going to be possible for them to leave without help.

Then, they heard helicopters and voices. Troy decided to see whether the sounds were rescue crews.

Troy took his kayak about 400 yards down the street, where he  found members of the Houston SWAT team and a volunteer civilian and son helping people get out of the Meyerland neighborhood. The crew of six used their motorized boat to help ferry the family from their home.

During the rescue, Aidan fell asleep cradled in his mother’s embrace as Houston SWAT member Daryl Hudeck brought them to dry ground off of Interstate 610 , where Dallas Morning News photographer Louis DeLuca had been waiting. The image he captured ran on the front page of Monday’s print editions and was carried around the world.

How is it possible that a baby could sleep during such chaos? His father thinks that Aidan knew he was safe.

“The wind was blowing, he felt comfortable and he fell asleep. I have to say he felt some relief, too, because we weren’t as anxious,” Troy said.

The rescue happened so fast, the Phams were unable to get Hudeck’s contact information. He asked Cathy her son’s name and age as he carried them, and then was off to help more people.

“I would have liked to say ‘thank you’ and somehow get his contact info get the whole crew together to say thank you and repay them for rescuing us,” Cathy said.

The family is safe now, just 4 miles away from their home at a friend’s house. They don’t expect to be able to get into their home for several days.

The Phams' home hasn’t been assessed for damage, but the only thing that matters to Cathy is the box she put in the highest spot possible in the home. It has the outfit he wore home from the hospital, a hat from his first birthday and other precious mementos. The other material items can be replaced.


She said that the family has been moved by the kindness of first responders and regular Houstonians volunteering to help people, like the stranger who offered to give the family a ride to their friend’s house after the rescue. That moment was not captured on photo, but is equally as heartwarming for the family.

“It’s hard to put the feelings of gratitude into words for their efforts and putting their lives in danger,” Troy said.

CORRECTION, 8:56 a.m., Aug. 29, 2017: In an earlier version of this story, the name of the 13-month-old boy being carried to safety in the arms of his mother was misspelled in the photo captions. His name is Aidan Pham, not Aiden.

First post/Introduction. 

My wife had an opportunity to study under Fu Dog as he transitioned from East Wind toward his eventual establishment of The Training Mat.  I had the privilege to benefit from some of his teaching despite my travel and work schedules.  I've made light study of some areas hand-to-hand martial arts, but I've most enjoyed the teaching I've received in Kali and Japanese sword (Kendo/Iaido). I have always been more of a book-worm by constitution and disposition than a martial artist, yet one of my passions however is military science and weaponry.  My employment involves weapon system design and strategic study while my spare time activities include, besides raising a family which takes up the lion's share, study and practice of modern gun fighting technique and rhetorical pugilism (typically in the political arena). 

I have great respect for the Dog Brothers and admiration for Crafty Dog and the others who have worked with him to forge this particular innovation in the history of martial arts in America.  I look forward to sharing with you.

Woof All:

I'm looking to gradually disentangle the "Politics and Religion" forum and the "Science, Culture, & Humanities" forum from the DBMA page.  Of course I don't want to lose anyone who finds us via dogbrothers.com as we do so!

One reason is that I'm thinking this can be an opportunity to reach a much bigger audience.

Should we keep the same name or come up with a new one?

Any other ideas, suggestions, cautions, etc?

moving the forum out of the DogBrothers website may be more alluring to a larger audience.

I am fine with the page.  But some may be confused about the forum's purpose when they see it combined with the martial arts.

I know I once referred someone to the forum and they thought the martial arts portion confusing.

Another format for both "politics and religion" and "science, culture and humanities" may be able to grab more eyeballs more quickly.

Perhaps merging with say PJ media ......
I would not recommend merging with Sparta though , though we have an 'in' with them (PP).

Maybe even NR might have some interest .  Any body hear know VDH, JG?

Somehow I agree with CD that this site has potential way more then we are seeing .  There are only 4 regular posters and about half dozen who come on occasionally
A few have left altogether  for different reasons.  Probably over politics.

In a sense, it is a big part of our strength-- by keeping out the riff-raff, the quality of our postings is pretty high IMHO. At the same time, we are not an echo chamber.  In our Search For Truth, we questions ourselves.

I am always scanning for new worthies.

I sense where this is going is to sever these two forums altogether from the Dog Brothers site.  Of course this must be done in a way that keeps our current readership!!!

I'm looking to gradually disentangle the "Politics and Religion" forum and the "Science, Culture, & Humanities" forum from the DBMA page.  Of course I don't want to lose anyone who finds us via dogbrothers.com as we do so!
One reason is that I'm thinking this can be an opportunity to reach a much bigger audience.
Should we keep the same name or come up with a new one?
Any other ideas, suggestions, cautions, etc?

I agree with the idea of a new entry point to the latest posts to the forum and perhaps a slight format change with that where there are lead posts and then updates and comments on those. 

The tie to the forum's origin in martial arts should be kept along with all the expertise in areas related to that. 

For names, I had two ideas:

AmericanCreed.US

https://dogbrothers.com/phpBB2/index.php?topic=1736.750
"American Creed= Free minds, free markets, freedom of speech, freedom of religion, freedom of contract, right of self-defense (hence guns and knives, etc) property rights, privacy, all connected with responsibility for the disrespect for the rights of others.   All this from our Creator, not the State nor majority vote."

Wikipedia:
The American Creed is a statement of the defining element of American identity, first formulated by Thomas Jefferson and elaborated by many others, that includes liberty, equality, individualism, populism, and laissez faire.

Sorry, I forgot my other idea for a name.  Hopefully will update.

Accept submissions for articles.  May find good new participants that way.

Try to get our best material linked on other sites.

Accumulate links of interest as a resource.  Also connect to our threads and archives for reference.

Perhaps just slightly higher pay for our writers once we get the readership and sponsorship up.  )
