Respect YourselfMy friend shared this video to warn other artists about how she was taken advantage of, and I believe this is a very important message that every artist should hear.I've lost count of how many times someone, be it a big corporation or an individual, have asked me to illustrate for them for free. It will always go something like this "You draw this for us, and we will include your name in the credits. That's good publicity for you!" as if such a pathetic offer holds any merit.There was one specific case where a guy wanted to use my drawing as a book cover but didn't want to pay. He said he might print up to 50,000 books, so that's like an amazing offer of 50,000 views for me right? Wrong. 50,000 is nothing. We live in the information revolution. Don't forget we have places like Deviantart, tumblr, and all those social networking sites. Sharing art, like sharing any information, has never been easier. You don't have to degrade yourself for some disrespectful publisher to get you art se
OFFICIAL FISHEYE PLACEBO WEBSITE IS UP!I finally did it! It took months of sleepless nights and endless coding but I finally finished it! The official Fisheye Placebo website with lots of never before seen concept art and extras is now up atFisheyePlacebo.com..................In other news, I'm honored to be part of deviantART's How-to Panel: Creator + Audience this Saturday 7/20 at 12:15 in Room 2 at the San Diego Comic Con! http://comic-con.deviantart.com/ If you're already going, be sure to drop by our panel!
College LifeI don't really talk too much about my daily life on dA since I didn't want to spam everyone with constant horror stories of my time in the kitchen (which is why I do that on fb https://www.facebook.com/FisheyePlacebo/photos_stream instead) but today, I would like to share some of the extra "special" moments during my college life (even though I graduated already).When upstairs neighbors are being very loud, the most effective method is to leave an angry coconut at their door When life gives you pears, cut them into ducks and bake them into pizza~When the Occupy movement swept through campus, make sure the fridge participates.When assigned to go to a museum for Art History, take detailed notes of the kinky nipple biting eagles.When roommate cooks something that cannot be described with words...When the new apartment sink rage quits...When I got the bright idea to create an aquaponics system in my bedroom... which later flooded the carpet... (Trust me, I'm an engineer
WOOOOT ANIME EXPO 2013!!!Been organizing my prints for AX and it took up the entire living room floor. I'm glad my roommates aren't home or they wouldn't be able to get out orzI will be at Anime Expo this July 4th -7th, 2013 at the LA Convention Center in California. You can find me in the Artist Alley at tables A24 - A25, under the name Wenqing Yan/Yuumei.

Fisheye Placebo Cosplay DerpsI had the honor of derping with these hilarious Fisheye Placebo cosplayers at Sakura-con!Good times. Good times.See you guys again at Fanime! ♥Frey, Alex, and Vance cosplayed by Shotalicious, Sugarlat, Liarino. I'm cameoing as rabbit ear fingers.And then I drew them XDJen and Cocoa by Haruu-chan and LeekFishART MAJORS FTWRobin and Toby copsplayed by usagi2ranpha and Little-islanderAlex has a plastic gun. Toby is going ARAFDHAJGJ. Robin is confused. Noting makes sense and all is right with the world.The level of maturity is overwhelming.They wanted to cosplay outerwear and underwear so they even made Vance and Frey's panties. Not only that, they also made extra ones for me to wear XDLast but not least, amazing cosplay and photography by KashinoRei and Andy-K. They are in Germany so I wasn't able to meet them at Sakura-con, but hopefully I'll be able to visit a European con in the future
SEE YOU AT SAKURA-CON!Hi guys! I just found out that I will be attending Sakura-con http://www.sakuracon.org/ this weekend!Due to some mistake by the convention's billing department, I was not informed that I got a booth until a few days ago, and after at lot of rescheduling, I'm happy to say that I can finally visit everyone in Washington for the first time!Sakura-con will be held at the Washington State Convention Center in Seattle, Washington, USA from March 29th - 31st. I will be in the Small Press area at table SP14 (highlighted bellow)I will be selling posters and books like the images bellow. Prices are $8 for 18x27 inch, $7 for 12x18, $5 for 8x11, $3 for 3x5. There's also some mini prints for $1. The book will be $15. All signatures are free! Come by and hang out! (I was feeding everyone carrots last time, but I might not have enough this time )See you there!
Thank You!Thank you guys so much for the deviousness award! But it's really not just this award, thank you all for the support through out the years.I can honestly say that I grew up with this community and everyone here has taught me so much, and not just about art, but also on how to be a person. When I first got this account at the age of 12, I could have never imagined how much it has shaped my life and career. It sounds cliche but I probably wouldn't have became an artist if it hadn't been for everyone here on deviantART. Through all of the ups and downs in life, the community has always been the support and inspiration that kept me going.I hope to give back as much as everyone has given me. I will continue to create more comics, tutorials and art in the future. I will never stop, and I have you all to thank for that.So truly, thank you!
Tapastic PPP for Comic Artists!Hey guys! It was great meeting everyone in San Francisco last weekend!In other news, there's a great new program for comic artists that I would like to share. It's part of Tapastic's Primetime Publishing Program (PPP) that pays comic artists based on the amount of page views they generate. If you are a comic artist, then you can make some extra money doing what you love. If you're not a comic artist, you can still check out all the cool webcomics on Tapastic.com and help support the artists that way Take care!
Publishing Opportunity for New Artists!Hey guys! I want to spread the good news about my friend DeevElliott's two new anthologies that will be strictly reserved for up coming artists here on DeviantART! If you're a new and aspiring comic artist looking for a chance to be published with a seasoned professional, this is it!I've met Dave many times and he is always looking to help younger artists in need of a kick start! His current projects are detailed in this journal http://techgnotic.deviantart.com/journal/Dave-Elliott-An-Authentic-Citizen-384734344 along with lots of great advice on how to get into the publishing industry. His two anthologies and how to participate in his project is also linked in there.Good luck!
Do Not EngageThis is a notice to all my fans. Since I've returned to making SYAC again there's been a bit of a resurgence of trolls. There are a lot of fake accounts floating around out there with my name attached, and many of them are posting alternate SYAC strips and my old fetish work. While they are fairly obvious to spot, just to be safe I am writing to remind everyone that these accounts are not mine.DeviantArt has made it more complicated to report copyright infringement issues, and I simply don't have the time to sift through the troll's gallery of re-uploads, find the original URL's (if any even exist anymore), and file DMCA on each and every post. It takes weeks to get anything accomplished and it wastes the time of DA moderators who have to sift through those individual reports. And even if I am successful in getting the troll banned, they'll just create a second account and come right back with another bucketload of altered art and start all over again. That's wasted time and e
How to make good comics: FailMaybe it's because I'm a (self proclaimed) comic artist, but sometimes people come to me to ask for advice about how to make good comics.Aaaaand to be honest, I have absolutely no idea. That doesn't stop me from trying to! My brain has a bit of an excitement rush right now since I'm going to leave for an almost-week-long road trip tomorrow with some friends which really makes me want to do something completely irrelevant to anything ever, so have some of my typical rambling again! Been a while, huh?I bet many of those who ask how to do good comics want to become great comic artists as soon as possible, but actually, I think that one of the best things to do to become a good comic maker is failing. Yeah. Failing is something everyone wants to avoid, as if failing meant instant death or something, but it's something that really isn't all that easy to avoid. (Yeah, failing is embarrassing, which is why people who look like they're good don't show their fails.) And actually I
Arrietty is an evil movie, apparently...A few months back Fox News went after The Muppets for "promoting the liberal agenda" (whatever the **** that means this week). Miss Piggy got back at them with a scathing remark during an interview shortly after the controversy and we all had a laugh at Fox's expense. Well... Fox is at it again...This time they're going after Studio Ghibli's "The Secret World of Arrietty" and accusing, once again, that liberal Hollywood's agenda is corrupting children and turning them into "occu-toddlers." They also turned their sights on the new adaptation of Dr. Seuss's The Lorax. They claim that both movies "demonize the 1%" and that people "offended" by these movies should fight back by... littering. Don't believe me? Watch the video and get ready to facepalm: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RuFcWkFJZgkNow I can understand (barely) how a conservative could possibly have an issue with The Lorax since it deals with criticizing the logging industry and promoting the dangers of excessive defore

Here are some limitations: • All Witherling designs are "non-profit" not to be sold or traded for money or points. • The Witherlings project is a creature design project not a character design project, which means that you are designing a model of a type of Witherling not an individual "Original Character" Witherling. Please talk to me if this does not make sense. • You may not create or distribute "Adoptable" Witherling designs, either for free or payment.

Flash Appreciation RantIt's almost difficult to remember but when I was in college (in the early 2000's) Flash wasn't really a "thing" the way it is now. At the time, flash was primarily used as a cheap form of animation for web content. Used primarily for grosstastic sick viral things like "frog in a blender." In my college, Flash was highly despised. All my professors hated it and felt it "cheapened" real hand-drawn animation. And their hatred passed on to us students. We all despised Flash too. We kept seeing Flash popping up in mainstream animation circles and we laughed and joked about how shitty it was and how we'd never be caught dead using it.Then the whole world changed before our eyes. Flash has become one of THE most used animation programs for cartoons on television these days. It's friggin' EVERYWHERE. The likelyhood of a new 2D animated TV show being made without Flash (or a Flash based program) is highly unlikely these days.I really wish that I could go back and slap my co
Console Generation RantThis generation of video game consoles has been completely off my radar. Even my fanboy lust of all things Nintendo can't make me save up enough money to buy a Wii-U. I don't know if it's because I've become jaded over the last console war, or if I'm just moving on away from consoles into other avenues of gaming (ie: PC gaming), but something about this generation just defies interest for me.Some of it is just head inducing nonsense like this: http://www.theverge.com/2013/11/8/5080750/xbox-one-day-one-patch-required-to-play-games The Xbox One requiring a day one patch TO PLAY VIDEO GAMES. I mean, when the Ps3 launched it required a day one patch to play Blu-Ray movies, that's not so bad though since you could still play games. But the Xbox One comes out and you literally can't do anything with it if you don't have an internet connection. For how much you paid for that device that's pretty shitty.And all the consoles are doing crap
More Shutdown News and Google Using YouGOP Keeping the Government ShutdownWhat's really frustrating about the government shutdown is that BOTH SIDES want to reopen the government. Republican and Democrats alike want the government to continue to operate. However thanks to a handful of Republican leaders in Congress, things have been set up to basically STOP our government for their political gain.Basically they've silently changed the way congress works to place the entire power of the shutdown in the hands of the GOP.I do not think that your average republican is inherently evil or a bad person. There are actually a lot of laws that both Republican and Democrats agree on. But more and more I'm seeing the Republican PARTY start to exercise their ideas independently of their demographic. I mean, the whole point of the government shutdown (according to the Republican Party) was to stop Obamacare. But Obamacare still went into effect because it wasn't part of the budget plan that was actually under discus

Ms. Male Character - Tropes vs Women in Video GameI hate talking about Anita Sarkeesian, but primarily because there's such anger induced hatred of the woman herself that people tend to gloss over what she's saying and ignore the bigger issue by nitpicking her to death. That's very frustrating for me because whenever I talk about her videos or so much as refer to her by name, the response is almost magical. Saying Anita Sarkeesian on the internet is like a magical incantation to summon trolls.It's almost impossible to talk about the subject matter (which is the actual issue that needs to be discussed) without devolving into a venom spewing hate storm against the messenger (Anita). And remember, this is coming from someone who DOESN'T LIKE HER EITHER. Her views on "Sucker Punch" were so misjudged and ill informed that it's almost comical. That being the case, I feel the need to preface this journal with some requests. Please for the love of god if you are going to respond to this journal

Commissions WidgetSome of you may aware of the newest released feature by deviantART- that very long awaited widget/module/space for commission on your personal page.Here is my thought about it, no, actually a serious concern where I posted there- please read it first: http://comments.deviantart.com/1/347788178/2897698997To add more: in my opinion I am quite disappointed with that new commission module which have quite childlish feeling (devART, IMHO, represents art as entertaiment which is pushing far away from art as a serious profession in our real world /where in effect many people don't take us, full time working artists seriously etc./ besides of Portfolio release where they did a good job. But when money is involved...) and that's pretty much fast-food commission for quick take and out (points, quick modul and price limit).That addition of the price limit (which is very low) which may suggest to many young people about fixed general idea of price with art into mentality (art has
Stolen art sold at conventionsHey guys! I had a great time at SacAnime but while I was there, I saw a vendor's booth called Hidden Supplies selling sakimichan's Kakashi painting I asked her if she gave permission for this or not, and sure enough, she didn't. I think it's safe to say that the rest of the $25 mats sold at the booth were also using stolen art, but I don't recognize any of the artists. Here are some photos of the booth and all the mats are also listed on their website https://www.hiddensupplies.com/index.php?routeroduct/category&path=71. Please take a look and report the images you recognize to the respective artists so that they may take the proper legal actions against these these people. Thank you!

Father watches security video capturing son's shooting
by Jane Flasch
Rochester, N.Y. -- The father of a young man gun down one year ago became a witness, to the alleged crime, as security video of the incident was played in court Thursday.
"It's uncomfortable, undesirable, I wish it on no one," said Bishop David Singleton after watching the security video.
It was played during the second day of testimony in the trial of Ralph Strong Junior. He is accused of killing two men outside of club network last June then shooting a police officer after a high-speed chase three days later.
Security cameras in both locations recorded what happened.
Bishop Singleton watched as his son Jahmia Singleton attempted to break up an argument between Ralph Strong and another man. A witness, Maison Brown, described how Strong reacted.
"The guy pulled out a handgun from under his shirt and started shooting," Brown testified. "He shot Reggie and then he shot Jahmia."
The video was captured by security cameras from the post office on Central Avenue. As it played in the court room many family members gasped others left in tears.
Jahmia's mother Dawn cannot bear to attend the trial. It's been a year since he was killed and for the first time his father watch as it happened.
"Sometimes acting on emotion and impulse will cause lives to change forever," he said. "I don't know that we can explain everything that happens perhaps we wish we could."
Judge Joanne Winslow denied requests from 13WHAM news for a copy of the security video. The District Attorney's Office says Judge Winslow didn't want family members of jurors to see it on television and be tempted to ask them about the case.
Jurors are not supposed to discuss the case publicly until after a verdict. That likely means security video of the chase and police shootout three days later will also not be released.

Just when I think I've heard it all, along comes a new wacky theory of disease causation. The claim is that bras cause breast cancer. I can see the appeal. The claim unites a number of axioms of alternative health: cancer is caused by toxins; cancer is preventable by simple things you can do at home; anything "unnatural" is bad for you.
How are these axioms combined to create the claim that bras cause breast cancer? According to the alternative health website Health & Beyond:
"Bras cause breast cancer. It's open and shut," says medical researcher Syd Singer...Amazingly enough, the Singers figure it out without doing ANY research! Aren't they smart?
The Singers became breast cancer sleuths in 1991 [when] Soma discovered a lump in her breast ...
Could bras be constricting breast tissue, Syd wondered, hampering lymph drainage and causing degeneration?
The World Health Organization calls chemical toxins the primary cause of cancer. But poisons accumulating in breast tissue are normally flushed by clear lymph fluid into large clusters of lymph nodes nestling in the armpits and upper chest. The Singers found that "because lymphatic vessels are very thin, they are extremely sensitive to pressure and are easily compressed." Chronic minimal pressure on the breasts can cause lymph valves and vessels to close.The Singers rushed to share their insights with major organizations, but they were ignored! Why? Could it have been because their theory is stupid, lacking proof, and in conflict with what we know about lymphatic drainage? Not according to the Singers. It's a conspiracy!!!
"Less oxygen and fewer nutrients are delivered to the cells, while waste products are not flushed away," the Singers noted. After 15 or 20 years of bra-constricted lymph drainage, cancer can result.
Well aware that their findings were "explosive," the Singers sent their survey results to the heads of America's most prestigious cancer organizations and institutes. None responded. Like the cancer business, the bra business is huge. Multiply how many worldwide women buy several $25 bras every year and you end up with a multiple of the $6 billion-a-year US bra business.Big Bra is hiding information to protect their sales! Who knew?
Of course, the Singers theory is nonsensical. When lymph drainage is impeded, the area swells up, often quite dramatically. For example, women who have had lymph nodes removed as part of breast cancer treatment often experience marked painful swelling in the arm on that side. No woman wears a bra that is tight enough to cause her breasts to swell markedly (although some would surely choose to do so if there were such a bra). There is no evidence that "toxins" accumulate in the breasts or that "toxins" are drained by way of the lymphatic system. And there's no scientific evidence that anyone who experiences lymphedema (the medical term for swelling caused by impaired lymph drainage) in any part of the body has an increased risk of cancer in that body part.
The Singers are not bothered by such details. They've proven the theory to their own satisfaction. After discovering a breast lump, Soma stopped wearing her bra:
"Going bra-less for all occasions, Soma began dressing to de-emphasize her breasts. She also began regular breast massage and bicycle riding, vitamin and herbal supplementation, and drinking only purified water.
Two months later, her lump disappeared."
Well, if that isn't proof, what is?
Of course, the vast majority of breast lumps are not cancer, many are cysts, and a large proportion disappear spontaneously in three months, just like in Soma's case. So what? The Singers "know" that Big Bra is concealing more than breasts. They "know" that bras cause breast cancer, and they know that Big Bra is engaged in a cover up of this important information.
What should you do? The Singers believe that you should not wear a bra, but they have kindly offered this helpful information for women who continue to trap "toxins" in their breasts:
Don't wear this disastrous device to sleep. Take it off at home. Massage your breasts every time you remove your bra. Sing your lymphatics into health -- or at least breathe deeply.Words to live by!
Dr Amy, is there anything we can do to stop nuts like these? As a truck driver I bet I listen to 10 hours of radio a day. Do you know how many ads there are to get your colon cleaned, get your erection stiff, and boost your brain and immune functions?
I'm afraid that the only way to stop them would be if no one bought their stuff. As long as they keep making money, they'll keep inventing new "cures."
Wishful thinking is thoroughly human. That's the essence of the appeal of "alternative" health.
Oh, for God's sake. . . .
My D-cups and I thank the conspiracy nuts for their concern, but we like our elaborate bust truss.
But don't worry...now the "impaired lymph drainage" theory has begun to be spread about for men, too. Tight underwear impede lymph drainage! And runnig shoes are going to hurt you!
I read it on the internet! It must be true!
Victoria's Secret does not have any worries about their stock -- paper and fabric -- becoming worthless.
OK, Dr. Amy. I was going to skip volunteering at the elementary school science fair this year, but alas! You have goaded me once more into the realms of science education. Every week of two I get on my soap box and rant about how woefully uneducated the American public is about basic science.
So... off I go to the public library to help my daughter come up with a project. My kids will grow up knowing what a hypothesis is! What a variable is! How to prove it (or not) through trial and error! and that if your hypothesis is wrong, it's still science!
(stepping off soap-box and out to the library...)
Very informative article, although being just barely a B I whip mine off as soon as I get home. My mother had to tie me down to get me to wear one when I was 11, and I still hate the damn things.
"Honey, you should lay off the caffeine and maybe not wear a bra so much until we get this settled and figure out what is going on"
I haven't had caffeine since I was sixteen and again don't wear a bra but I just nodded and appeased her with my compliance. I understand that caffeine makes cysts in the breast act up and that may be a legit concern but this whole 'bras = cancer" bullshit is just that, bullshit. Bravo on your writings!
On the macro level, the fact that women in first world countries have a higher incidence of breast cancer and the fact that women in first world countries wear bras tells us nothing about whether bras cause breast cancer. Women in first world countries also have a lower risk of dying of infectious disease. Should we conclude, therefore, that bras act like antibiotics and prevent death from infectious disease? I don't think so.
On the micro (individual) level, the Singers demonstrate the fallacy of infering causation from temporal association. Just because something happens after a specific action does not mean that the action cause the event. We know from many studies and years of experience that a large proportion of breast lumps disappear spontaneously, particularly in pre-menopausal women. The fact that Ms. Singer stopped wearing a bra and her lump disappeared tells us nothing about whether the bra had anything to do with it.
I'm confused. Where do you stand, MD? A lot of ladies want to know, especially ladies who just got back from their first mammogram, at 30.
Perhaps they need to do a study of transvestites...
I'm personally very much in favor of women going braless when that's what makes them comfortable, just as I'm all in favor of bust trusses to keep gals with prodigious endowments comfortable.
When it comes to being clothed or unclothed, comfort is the key. Those are words to live by.

Koch brothers' Canadian company moves to exploit oil sands gold rush
Koch Canada Exploration intends to file for a commercial oil development project west of Fort McKay called the Dunkirk project, and has begun consultation with the neighbouring Ft. McKay First Nation, a representative of the Fort McKay First Nation confirmed this week. Fort McKay is located 65 kilometres north of Fort McMurray.
- "Charitable" Fraser Institute accepted $500k from Koch oil billionaires
- Koch brothers donated again to Fraser Institute in 2011, tax records show
"We are currently engaged in consultation with the company. Consultation with the company has been very good to date," Daniel Stuckless, Manager of Environment and Regulatory, for the Fort McKay Sustainability Department, told the Vancouver Observer.
The site is 76 kilometres from Fort McMurray. Bev New, President of the Metis Nation of Alberta Region V, wrote Jennifer Bordyniuk of Koch Operating Oil Sands ULC to express concern about caribou herds near the proposed Dunkirk project last month, noting that the Metis had not yet been consulted.
"We have spotted caribou in the last year near the area of the proposed Dunkirk project," New wrote.
Although Koch Oil Sands Operating ULC began reaching out to relevant stakeholders last January, the project has remained under the radar, despite a widely-read report in the Washington Post that apparently incorrectly claimed the Kochs are the largest foreign oil sands leaseholders. The Koch brothers' companies are now thought to be only one of the largest foreign oil sands leaseholders in Canada.
Aerial photograph of oil sands mine for the Vancouver Observer by Andrew S. Wright
Koch quietly filed an application last year with the Alberta Energy Regulator to develop a steam-assisted gravity drainage (known as SAGD in situ) oil extraction project that would have two equal phases totaling 60,000 barrels a day. Pending approval, construction will start in the fourth quarter of 2016 and production would begin two years later.
According to the Alberta Energy Regulator website, the Koch Oil Sands company has other applications underway.

I sure hope you don't sell your soles to the DEVILS for money, these Koch brothers are "pure evil" think of your children and grand children !! They can't eat, drink or breath money !!
Cute. Show a picture of some mining operation somewhere and perhaps after heavy rain, whereas the Koch project being discussed, from the info in the article, is in situ and would not be like the photo at all.
Please stop wimping out. They've always been called the TAR Sands until some ESSO CEO euphemized the name. Don't cater to that whitewashing: and don't let your writers do that, either. One article you should do is on the Tar Sands and oil patches' hidden injuries and deaths. Maybe then you'll see the other real hazards as well as the environmental ones!
Otherwise, your magazine is GREAT!
In all these the main thing which I most interested in is how much benefit will it bring to simple people...how many working places, new opportunities, finacial stability, possibility to avoid short term borrowing for some families or more sensitive financial improvements? Can anybody tell it to me?

Benchtop TSEs
In the past, laboratories had only small-scale batch mixers for formulation development, but during the past few years, several extruder manufacturers have introduced laboratory-scale TSEs suitable for API quantities as small as 5–20 g, thus enabling pharmaceutical manufacturers to test new drug candidates on a TSE.
Mid-size TSEs
Mid-size extruders in the range of 12–20 mm in diameter that have similar design attributes to larger extruders can be used for process development in preparation for scale-up to pilot-size or small commercial-size TSE in the range of 26–32 mm and perhaps eventually to larger commercial-size TSE in the range of 40–70 mm. Extruder manufacturers, such as Coperion, C.W. Brabender, Leistritz, Steer America, and Thermo Scientific, offer extruders for the pharmaceutical industry in the mid-size range that can be used for process development and clinical-scale trials as well as small-scale commercial runs. In some cases, drug manufacturers may even choose to use these mid-size extruders for commercial production.
Mid-size extruders are useful for determining the "extrudability" of a formulation and identifying the extrusion conditions needed for good mixing, says Stefan Gebhardt, head of extrusion systems for pharma and food at Coperion. Parameters can include the extruder's screw design, temperature profile, shear rate, and throughput.
The processing window for pharmaceutical excipients is narrow, and in some cases, a few degrees in temperature change can have a dramatic affect on material viscosity, says Gebhardt. In addition, excipients and APIs may be sensitive to degradation from heat or shear.
Determining the appropriate temperature profile in a TSE, therefore, is an important parameter in running process experiments. In the processing laboratory, researchers may want to run multiple temperature profiles in a short period of time and without shutting down the extruder to minimize the amount of experimental material needed. To enable this approach, Coperion recently developed an improved temperature-control system using cartridge heaters and a water-cooling system that allows its mid-size extruder to reach stable temperature conditions more quickly.
Processing laboratories also have a need to be able to quickly clean the screw or change the screw profiles of an extruder between experiments. Several mid-size extruders have a clamshell barrel design in which the barrel cover opens on a hinge to allow easy access for cleaning and screw changes.

Trials and Errors: Why Science Is Failing Us

Re:Then we must live forever (474 comments)
This question has come up in a lot of metaphysical contexts, and the response is generally yes so long as you are just copied on the other side. Whether or not you die if your particles are transmitted is another question, but probably yes as well.
Re:Not proper experiments. (474 comments)
In my own defense, I read that article in print a few months ago, so I may have forgotten that bit about Pfizer. While I wouldn't call myself a cynic about drug companies, their track record for doing quality science is less than impressive. Mind telling me what was emotional about my comment?
I'm decently well read in philosophy of science, actually. I don't believe in a deterministic universe, nor do I believe that any question can be answered using the scientific method. So you aren't stinging me, because you are totally wrong about what I believe (minus the fact that I don't think we have souls and am not a dualist, but that is not relevant to the questions at hand). But, I do understand the difference between a well controlled experiment and a correlational study. Although "correlation is different than causation" is somewhat of a misleading phrase, one technique is far more rigorous than the other. If we just assume that correlation is good enough, we'd be blaming the navies for killing all the pirates, resulting in global warming! This article could be about error, but it uses really really sloppy examples of error. And basically, the crappy research examples cited here (or rather, crappy interpretations of good research, depending on your viewpoint or the specific study in question) do just that. And don't get me started about medical doctors who have no training in understanding research or science as a process, but rather know a lot of scientific facts, which I also think this article carried a healthy dose of but failed to discuss in depth. If you want a failing of science, is that many people who should understand how it really works do not, and think it is just a collection of facts collected with test tubes or [science-y device of your choosing]. If they were going to make a point about error, determinism, etc, they could have chosen a better way to do it, starting with better examples.
Also, what makes you think I am a man? I am, but if we are going to talk about idiots lets start with people that make assumptions about who they are talking to (in addition to your comments about what I believe). And don't tell me that you actually clicked on my profile, homepage, etc, and took the time to figure it out before you flippantly wrote "and trust me sir, you ARE an idiot." Anyway, I'm only replying for the interest of other readers who may be interested in the bigger picture. You can go crawl back under your bridge.
Not proper experiments. (474 comments)
Science is not failing us. Apparently, the pharmaceutical companies and their correlational studies are. Science - whether behavioral, biological, or physical - does not necessarily depend on correlations. Manipulating an independent variable and comparing it to other conditions (a control group, for example) is what makes an experiment more than just a correlational study. This is what allows us to make causal relationships clearer, even if we don't perfectly understand the pathways that lead A to cause B. By failing to make this distinction, the article makes it sound as if scientists are merely fumbling around in the dark without a clue as to how anything works. Really this article just provides many fine examples of how correlational information used by medical doctors is failing us - not scientists doing actual experiments.
Re:The F-22 should be decommissioned. (379 comments)
Not to mention that China or Russia tend to build cool stuff and then only build a handful of them. I don't see either country churning out 100-200 of their next gen stealth fighters each.
Test missions? (379 comments)
Uhh....bullshit. They haven't flown in combat yet (because there has been no need for strict air-to-air combat since they came in service), but they are a part of the air defense system and have intercepted russian bombers near the arctic.

Re:Stallman and FOSS (1452 comments)
Actually, if you think about Jobs in the 70s and 80s, he DID make something available to the masses that previously had been stuck in universities and corporations. I also make this comparison because of their marketing abilities, and because he didn't personally design the most famous things his company made.

Re:What about other species? (79 comments)
I'm not a linguist, but I do know from being in the cognitive sciences that language involves syntax, grammar, etc. Dogs can learn words to respond to commands (or get excited about a treat or a walk) but it isn't the same as having a conversation with them.
Re:MIT (79 comments)
Fair enough, the summary presented on the MIT news website was quite misleading. Your abstract clearly indicates that this is not the case. However, having read some of your other work (FFA/FFG debate, a PNAS review from a year or so ago about functional specificity) I wasn't prone to question the summary as it fits with the view of brain functioning that I read about in said articles, and a view that I disagree with in a more general sense. My apologies if my previous criticism came across as ad hominem, I don't give slashdot posts the same kind of attention (tone, etc) that I would give an email or other communication because they are, as you would say, idle.
Re:MIT (79 comments)
I've read plenty of other research (check out the fusiform gyrus/face area debates) and perhaps erroneously jumped to the conclusion that this was a bit of that history repeating.
MIT (79 comments)
There is something odd about research out of MIT. They seem to really like the idea that there are parts of the brain that innately do one specific thing (well, at least Nancy Kanwisher does, and she is on this paper). It is pretty much ridiculous to argue that we have have a unique reading area of the brain since it is something the human race hasn't been doing that long. It wouldn't surprise me if the same brain regions are used in most people to read, but it is very odd to assume that one brain region would basically be useless or taken over by other regions for a large number of humans. Functional specificity makes sense for motor cortex and primary sensory receiving areas, but not something as high level as reading.
Re:What about other species? (79 comments)
They communicate, but they don't actually use language. Also, it is hard to point out clear analogues in primate brains, much less other mammals or birds.

Such battle stations are banned by treaty already. They would be really easy to shoot down (target moving in a routine and predictable orbit), and are kind of unnecessary when you have ICBMs.
Re:When jobs are scarce, this happens (330 comments)
I think you mean "if you are a university, you can pay the coaches more money and hire more adjuncts instead of tenure track faculty." There is a difference between a university wanting money to support staff, get new equipment, etc, and a company that is accountable to shareholders. Big difference. Look at non-profit vs. for-profit universities, for a start.
Re:When jobs are scarce, this happens (330 comments)
It does reduce how you run things, you know, not having shareholders to worry about. Just look at how for-profit vs non-profit universities work, for starters.
Re:in the 90s... (330 comments)
Mod parent up. As a grad student it frustrates me that people don't think I'm "on the job" or "lack work experience" when I spend all summer working and about 35 hours a week doing research on top of 20+ hours of coursework and TAing stuff.

The Palace of Auburn Hills
Attendance: 22,076
Auburn Hills, MI (Sports Network) - Michael Beasley posted 28 points and nine rebounds and Miami cruised past Detroit, 98-81, for its sixth straight win despite a poor shooting night from Dwyane Wade.
"I wasn't trying to do too much," Beasley said. "I was trying to be aggressive, stay confident, and it worked out."
Wade connected on just 4-of-13 shots from the field for 10 points, but the Heat nevertheless got within a half-game of Milwaukee for the No. 5 seed in the Eastern Conference playoff race.
Miami maintained its 1 1/2-game lead over seventh-place Charlotte.
Dorell Wright and Quentin Richardson each hit four of Miami's 12 three- pointers to finish with 17 and 16 points, respectively, in the lopsided win.
Rodney Stuckey and Tayshaun Prince led the Pistons with 18 and 17 points, respectively, in the Central Division bottom-dwellers' ninth straight loss.
Detroit head coach John Kuester also benched forward Charlie Villanueva, who signed a five-year, $35 million contract with the club in the offseason.
"Nothing was said to me. I don't know what's going on," Villanueva said of the benching.
The Pistons held a slim 25-23 advantage after 12 minutes, but the Heat took over with a 17-2 spurt between the 10- and five-minute marks of the second.
Wright scored nine on the stretch and his three capped it for a 44-31 lead.
The score at halftime was 54-45 in favor of the visitors, and Beasley's putback dunk finished off a nine-point Miami run for a healthy 69-51 cushion with 4:35 left in the third.
Wade's late bucket provided a 75-62 differential heading to the fourth, and Wright hit a three early in the stanza to push the differential to an insurmountable margin of 82-62.

I am looking to purchase a spark arrestor screen that combines screen and glass panels. It's gorgeous but it's shown on a wood burning fireplace. I have a converted wood fireplace, so the gas logs (ventless) are set deeper than usual. they are rated at 24,000 BTUS. Can anyone tell me if the doors will be safe? The gas company said wood is hotter, a friend said she saw a DIY program that said gas was hotter, and the info I've found on the net has been ambiguous. Any exports or folks with prior experience, help! |
Follow-Up Postings:
Not sure, but I know that I've enjoyed the heat of many more wood fireplaces than gas. Perhaps gas is hotter immediately at the flame, but a good size wood fire with hardwood can crank out major btu's. |

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
In Mexico, a maquiladora (Spanish pronunciation: [makilaˈðoɾa]) or maquila (IPA: [maˈkila])[1] is a manufacturing operation in a free trade zone (FTZ), where factories import material and equipment on a duty-free and tariff-free basis for assembly, processing, or manufacturing and then export the assembled, processed and/or manufactured products, sometimes back to the raw materials' country of origin.
The term maquiladora, in the Spanish language, refers to the practice of millers charging a maquila, or "miller's portion" for processing other people's grain.[2]
In 1964, the Bracero Program, which allowed Mexican agricultural workers to work legally in the U.S. on a seasonal basis, came to an end. Less than a year after the end of the Bracero Program, the Mexican Government launched the Border Industrialization Program (BIP) or the Maquiladora Program, to solve the problem of rising unemployment along the border.[3] The maquiladoras became attractive to the US firms due to availability of cheap labor, devaluations of peso and favorable changes in the US customs laws.[citation needed] In 1985, maquiladoras overtook tourism as the largest source of foreign exchange, and since 1996 they have been the second largest industry in Mexico behind the petroleum industry.[4]
The North American Free Trade Agreement (1994) favorably impacted the growth of maquila plants. During the five years before NAFTA, the maquila employment had grown at the rate of 47%; this figure increased to 86% in the next five years. The number of maquila plants grew from about 2700 to about 3700 in 2001.[5] In the 1970s, most maquiladoras were located around the Mexico – United States border. By 1994, these were spread in the interior parts of the country, although the majority of the plants were still near the border. Recent research indicates that the maquiladora industry has an impact on U.S. border city employment in service sectors.[6]
Although the maquiladora industry suffered due to the early 2000s recession, maquiladoras constituted 54% of the US-Mexico trade in 2004, and by 2005, the maquiladora exports accounted for half of Mexico's exports.[5] The industry had become an important source of FDI and foreign exchange for Mexico.[citation needed]
In the 2000s, the maquila industry faced competition due to rise of other countries with availability of cheap labor, including Malaysia, India, and Pakistan. The biggest threat came from China's Special Economic Areas.[5]
During the later half of the sixties, maquiladora industries rapidly expanded geographically and economically and by 1985, had become Mexico's second largest source of income from exports, behind oil.[7] Since 1973, maquiladoras have also accounted for nearly half of Mexico's export assembly.[7] Between 1995 and 2000, exports of assembled products in Mexico tripled, and the rate of the industry's growth amounted to about one new factory per day.[8] By the late twentieth century, the industry accounted for 25 percent of Mexico's gross domestic product, and 17 percent of total Mexican employment.[9]
Since globalization and physical restructuring[citation needed] have contributed to the competition and advent of low-cost offshore assembly in places such as China, and countries in Central America, maquiladoras in Mexico have been on the decline since 2000: According to federal sources, approximately 529 maquiladoras shut down and investment in assembly plants decreased by 8.2 percent in 2002.[8] Despite the decline, there still exist over 3,000 maquiladoras along the 2,000 mile-long United States–Mexico border, providing employment for approximately one million workers, and importing more than $51 billion in supplies into Mexico.[10] Research indicates that maquiladoras' post-NAFTA growth is connected to changes in Mexican wages relative to those in Asia and in the United States, and to fluctuations in U.S. industrial production.[11] As of 2006, maquiladoras still account for 45 percent of Mexico's exports.[12] Maquiladoras, in general, are best represented among operations that are particularly assembly intensive.[citation needed]
One of the main goals of the Border Industrialization Program was to attract foreign investment. To do that, Mexican labor is kept cheap and competitive with other major export countries to keep the United States firms operating within the Mexican assembly plants. Mexican women work for approximately one-sixth of the U.S. hourly rate.[13]
Young women are often preferred over older women, as younger women are capable of working longer hours. Women are often subjected to unsafe and unsanitary working conditions.[14] Poverty is a key factor that motivates women, in particular, to work in maquiladoras. The minimum wage set by the Mexican government is barely enough to help sustain a family. The minimum wage "buys only about a quarter of the basic necessities that are essential for a typical worker's family".[15]
Mexico possesses a strong system of labor laws, yet enforcement of these laws within the maquiladora industry is often lax.[16] While most people who were employed under the original Bracero Program were men, the majority of maquiladora employees are young women.[17] Women are preferred to men, because women typically work more . Some maquiladora operators have admitted a preference for women also because women often display a greater level of patience and higher dexterity than men in performing the repetitive work of an assembly plant. In recent years, however, there has been a shift toward hiring more male workers due to labor shortages and the emergence of heavier industries operating within maquiladoras.[citation needed]
Both the United States and Mexican governments claim to be committed to environmental protection, yet environmental policies have not always been enforced.[18] Although the La Paz Agreement signed by Mexico and the United States in 1983 requires hazardous waste created by United States corporations to be transported back to the U.S. for disposal, most companies avoid paying disposal costs by dumping toxins and other waste into Mexico's rivers or deserts. The United States Environmental Protection Agency reports that only 91 of the 600 maquiladoras located along the Texas-Mexico border have returned hazardous waste to the United States since 1987.[19] This is likely due to the fact that most Maquiladoras are factories which perform sewing and assembly of consumer products.
In Mexico, some maquiladoras lack proper waste management facilities and the ability to clean up disposal sites, which is why some of the hazardous waste is illegally disposed of.[19] Environmental hazards associated with some maquiladoras include polluted rivers and contaminated drinking water. According to the Southwest Consortium for Environmental Research and Policy (SCERP), all streams and rivers in the border region have been ecologically devastated as a consequence of the maquila industry.[20] However, most of this damage is likely caused by the lack of sewage treatment infrastructure. Furthermore, the United States Geological Survey, the state of California, and the Imperial County Health Department have all asserted the New River, which flows from Mexicali near the border to the Salton Sea in California to be "...the dirtiest river in America."[21]
The Border 2012 plan devised by the EPA has an extensive plan to help with environmental issues along the U.S./Mexico border.[22]

ASHLAND, Ore. – Extension researchers are battling what could become a stink bug invasion in Southern Oregon. The little pests came all the way from Asia, but what was once just an urban nuisance could now become a big threat to local agriculture.
The Brown Marmorated Stink Bug made itself known two decades ago ravaging orchards on the East Coast. The insects thrive on a wide variety of crops, primarily fruits like pears or peaches.
Now entomologists are scouring trees around here looking for the insects, and they're turning up in dozens.
"We've sort of been mapping that… and it looks pretty extensive," said OSU Extension Entomologist Rick Hilton.
While there are stink bugs native to the area, this species has no natural predators or controls. For orchards an infestation could damage harvest.
If you're a vintner, the effect is far different.
"The concern is having them harvested into the fruit and then tainting wine from the odor of the stink bug," said Trium Wines owner Kurt Lotspeich.
Trium Wines says they've been watching out for these little bugs for three years now. They say pest damage is nothing new to them, but pests that actually taint wine are, and it could be devastating.
"You could lose an entire crop or a portion of a crop," said Lotspeich. "Hopefully you can just limit it to a portion of a crop so you have enough capital to work with the next year."
Now researchers from around the state are looking for solutions. Insecticides most commonly used in the Rogue Valley have been shown to be ineffective against this species of stink bug. But OSU Extension researchers say fighting fire with fire might be more successful.
"Up in Corvallis, we're looking at parasitic wasps from its homerange and testing them to make sure it's okay to release them here," said Hilton. "The wasp can find it, and then they will lay their eggs inside the stink bug eggs. With other stink bug problems they've proven very effective."
OSU entomologists say these stink bugs could become household pests as they begin to migrate into houses during the fall.
Not all stink bugs are invasive, but those who find one of the Brown Marmorated Stink Bugs are encouraged to report it to the OSU Extension Center.

How to Fix a Broken Relationship
STEP 5: Once you've sorted out your differences, laid down your thoughts and feelings, learned about each other's faults, and have set yourself on the road of forgiveness, you should consider spending more quality time with your partner. This clearly doesn't mean that you spend every waking minute with each other, but it means having a more fruitful, lively time together rather than just having your whole time together. Remember, it's always quality over quantity. Spending time with each other and learning how to have fun with each other again may help in patching up the wounds of the relationship. It doesn't have to be anything fancy or expensive; just a movie night or a dinner out to a restaurant would be a perfect way to spend time together.
STEP 6: Realize that the healing process is a process that you cannot speed up. Although you two are in good terms now, it doesn't mean that you have completely healed your wounds, and he has as well. Relationships require a lot of dedication and work and you need to make sure that you work on it every day. The change doesn't happen overnight; it's a process that you must oversee and look after.

One other bit of background - the animated episode "The Slaver Weapon" was an adaptation of one of Larry Niven's "Known Space" stories, and brought some elements of that setting into the Trek universe. In Niven's setting, several billion years ago the galaxy was dominated by the 'Slavers', a powerful race of telepaths who mentally enslaved all other lifeforms. Eventually, one of their slave races managed to rebel against them, and the Slavers, rather than face defeat, used their powers to make every sapient lifeform in the galaxy commit suicide.
In the Trek universe, this could explain why the ancient humanoids were apparently the only intelligent life in their era - they could have been the first race to evolve after the Slavers wiped out all life, or had been somehow protected from the telepathic attack.
The Slavers themselves were humanoid, in that they were bipeds with two arms, but other than that didn't look much like humans; certainly a lot less than the hundreds of species all but identical to humans in the modern Trek universe.
a bit more background. in the Known Space setting, the Thrintum (the slavers) cultivated strains of a yeast like microbial life on 'food worlds', which they used to make a cheap food, and later to feed their food animals once the 'yeast' mutated to the point of being useless as food itself.
the Thrint wound up fighting one of their slave species, the
. at the end of the war, the Thrint built a weapon to amplify their psychic power, and they ordered all sentient life in the galaxy to die. the only ones that survived were those in time-stassis fields, were immune to psionics, or were too stupid to understand the order.
after wards all the food planets went on to evolve higher life, explaining why nearly all life forms in the known space setting are biochemically compatible.
of course, this background doesn't really apply to trek, since it wasn't all mentioned in the TAS episode.
i don't know if the premise of the known space story could be kept, though it could work as long as the Thrint died off a few million years before the ancestral humanoids became sentient.. that would also give them plenty of planets with primordial life for the ancestral humanoids to seed with the triggers for humanoid life.
on another 'ancient cultures' note, you have the star trek novels, which are always more willing to explore exotic ideas due to the fact you don't have to deal with a budget. in
The Buried age
, you find out that 250+ million years ago there was a massive multiracial alliance that was nearly galaxy wide and incredibly advanced, built by
a race of 'living universal translators' and diplomats
. that same race also caused the downfall of said civilization, by building a device to bridge the gap between our plane of existance and the ones inhabited by beings such as the Q.. while intended to just open communication, it caused all sentient life not protected by time-stopping fields to ascend to these higher planes against their will. which basically depopulated the entire galaxy. caused a lot of stellar disasters too, since the society did a lot of stellar engineering (they were close to being a kardashev Type 3 society).
a great book, lots of cool stuff. the author also posted his

Hi everyone,i bought my basil back in July,i placed it on a pot,and it grow to a very big size. A few weeks ago,a few days before christmas we had a sudden drop of temperature, from 86 farenheit(30Celcius) to 41 fernheit (5Celcius) whitin days,it was a shock for humans and i am guessing my basil,because after that the leaves where very very small. Like in the picture i put, my basil was producing leaves the size of the sweet leaves,and after that the size of lime leaves. I cut almost all leaves to make it stronger,but the new leaves where the thai size. I am sure that it wasn't dying cause basil flowers on top,and i heard that you have to cut the flowers and if i put my basil directly in soil it will grow stronger. So i did, but i also heard that it needs direct sunlight and temperatures above 53.6F (12C) and our lowest is 51.8F(11C),so as the sun goes down,i rapp my basil with a plastic bag. But my biggest question is, why really did the leaves start making leaves smaller,is it biggest it only produces big leaves in summer??Is it because it's too cold for it?? Is it okay that i put it on a soil even with out a direct sunlight?? Is it ok that i put a plastic bag?? Did i did anything wrong in what i did withy my basil?? What can i do to make it better.. Thank you very much |

A couple things I would think: First, basil is an annual, and although you can extend it's life by pinching the flowers and leaves regularly, it's not meant to live for more than one season really. It may just be winding down. But...Second--41F is too cold for basil. It's not enough to kill it outright like a freeze would, but it does tend to send it into a dormant type state. I would try to keep babying it a bit, and it may come back or may not. The small leaves may be either the end of life cycle, an I got too cold thing, or something else entirely. Basil also does require a lot of light, so placing it out of direct sunlight will not be good. Hopefully, someone else can address the wrapping in plastic part--I would think it could smother the plant and lead to pest/mold issues, but maybe for just the night it's fine? |

Basil performs very poorly here at the end of summer/early fall when temps are in the 50's F. Anything below 60 F is too cold for good basil performance. FataMorgana |
