Re: Plotting in a dynamic environment.
A function is a far more beautiful thing if one writes a coherent definition
of it with arguments localized to the function and specifically listed on
the lhs of the definition.
myfun[x_, t_] := x^2 + 3 t x
Plot[myfun[x, t], {x, 1, 2},
PlotRange -> {0, 65}],
{{t, 1}, 0, 10}]
Or, if you wish, you could define myfun by:
myfun = Function[{x, t}, x^2 + 3 t x];
In the Plot statement within Manipulate one should almost always set an
explicit PlotRange to avoid the "Manipulate Jitters".

From: mgoic [mailto:magoic at gmail.com]
Hi everyone,
I am having problems when trying to plot an expression in a Dynamic
model using manipulate tool. For example, in this simple code I can
plot the function (first plot), I can evaluate its value in a
manipulate environment (second plot), but when trying to plot in a
dynamic environment I just get empty axis (third plot).
myfun = x^2 + 3 t x ;
t = 1;
Plot[myfun, {x, 0, 2}]
Manipulate[Evaluate[myfun], {x, 1, 2}, {{t, 1}, 0, 10}]
Manipulate[Plot[Evaluate[myfun], {x, 1, 2}], {{t, 1}, 0, 10}]
Any idea of what I am doing wrong? I will really appreciate any

So the excitement of the group stage is over and now the fun of knockout football can begin. The World Cup group stage lived up to the billing and has provided excited viewers with the most outstanding exhibition of international football.
It's now time to assess some of those Premier League stars who have appeared in Brazil. Blessed with a host of the world's best footballers, the contribution of talent from English shores has been relatively minimal, if compared to the likes of the Bundesliga and La Liga.
Nevertheless, the Premier League has had its share of success and failure this summer. From the rip-roaring Dutch, to the dismal English, we run the rule over the FIVE winners and FIVE losers of the World Cup group stage so far.
NB – we decided to go easy on England. There's no need to go over old ground too many times.
[ffccomp link="https://www.footballfancast.com/football-blogs/win-a-pair-of-puma-tricks" oneliner="For your chance to WIN a pair of Puma Tricks, simply comment below with who you think will win the Golden Boot in Brazil this summer…" step="PREDICT THE GOLDEN BOOT WINNER BELOW" terms="http://win-a-pair-of-puma-tricks.pen.io/" topics="world cup, football, football boots, puma, tricks, soccer"]
Costa Rica have been one of the biggest surprises of the World Cup so far, with their rigorously organised five-man defence, and their counter-attacking style having won a fair few admirers. There have been no members of the squad receiving more praise than Arsenal's Joel Campbell.
The 22-year-old could currently be in the running for the best young player of the tournament, with his match-winning display against Uruguay being his highlight of the tournament so far. Off the back of a good Champions League campaign with Olympiakos, and a successful World Cup with his underdog nation, Campbell will head to Arsenal for his first pre-season campaign with them since being signed in 2011. His reputation has rapidly risen.
A fairly miserable domestic campaign blighted by injury, lack of form, and the general presence of David Moyes at Old Trafford didn't set van Persie up for a great World Cup. But three goals in two games, including an outstanding brace against Spain in their World Cup opener, and van Persie has begun to look like the player most know him to be.
There are few more accomplished strikers in the game than van Persie. His touch, vision, and supreme ability in front of goal have been in evidence under van Gaal this summer. Working in tandem with Arjen Robben, the Dutchman has formed one half of the most lethal strikeforce of the tournament so far. With van Gaal headed to Old Trafford, van Persie looks like he'll be one of the biggest beneficiaries of the Dutch boss's arrival.
Another player who really didn't have the best of it in 2013-14 was Marouane Fellaini. A £27 million move to United gave him the chance to display his skills at one of the world's biggest clubs, but he had a minimal positive impact. Filling a deeper midfield role than he was used to at Everton saw him struggle, but his more advanced role in the Belgium side has worked wonders.
His substitute appearance against Algeria in Belgium's opener changed the game as Fellaini netted the equaliser. His height and strength make him a difficult proposition for defenders, and his presence in and around the area caused havoc in the Algerian defence. In a more attacking position, Fellaini has shown the kind of form which got him his big-money move to Manchester United.
One of the biggest losers of the 2010 World Cup in South Africa was undoubtedly Patrice Evra. France's ex-captain led a revolt against Raymond Domenech as the French national side shamed the nation, and had much to account for in the aftermath.
This time around Evra has played his part in a united team. His tenacity at left-back for France, and his ability to dispossess the opposition high up the field, helped launch countless attacks in France's swashbuckling 5-2 victory over Switzerland. He may not be one of the stars of the team, but considering how far his star had fallen four years ago, France's success this time around is increasingly poignant for the United man.
The USA simply weren't meant to qualify from the group stage this year. In a group consisting of Germany, Portugal (i.e Ronaldo), and Ghana, the American's looked set to struggle for a point. Instead, an incredible team ethic has made their success one of the stories of the tournament. And there have been few better players for them than goalkeeper Tim Howard.
The victory over Ghana in their opening group match was as spirited a performance as you will see, as with their backs to the ropes, the USA came up trumps. Howard valiantly guarded his goal, as he has done in each of the following matches against Portugal and Germany. The Everton stopper is one of Europe's most consistent keepers, and was at his very best in a tough group.
A knee operation in May put Suarez's participation in doubt this summer, but his bite on Giorgio Chiellini brought it to an actual conclusion. After his brace against England, Suarez looked set to be one of the great success stories of the summer, leading his small nation to progression from one of the World Cup's most formidable groups. Instead, his story is one of shame.
Suarez now faces a four-month ban from all football, with an additional nine-match international ban and a further 100,000 Swiss Francs fine. After an astonishing season with Liverpool, almost leading them to their first Premier League title, Suarez now looks set to leave Anfield, with Barcelona circling. So while his ban will be of great annoyance to him, has the situation inadvertently worked in his favour? Either way, it's arguable whether his reputation can ever be salvaged following this latest debacle.
Bosnia's World Cup dream came to an abrupt halt after just their second World Cup match as they fell foul of some suspect refereeing in a 1-0 loss to Nigeria. Manchester City striker, Edin Dzeko had a goal controversially chalked off, falsely given for offside, as the Bosnians struggled to break through a resolute African defence.
Bosnia's attacking style looked likely to work in Dzeko's favour, and off the back of a good campaign with City, Dzeko was ready to guide his team through to the last 16. Instead, poor finishing and poor refereeing denied him his chance of glory. Despite netting a nice goal in Bosnia's final group game against Iran, his contribution wasn't enough.
We love a good scapegoat in England, and Steven Gerrard appears to have been the main target following England's abject display in Brazil. The worst World Cup in the country's history, and a tournament to forget specifically for the Liverpool skipper, has led to questions over his suitability to international football.
Everything was shaping up so well for Gerrard as he looked set to win his first Premier League title before leading a youthful and exciting England side to Brazil. Instead, his slip against Chelsea was the smoking gun for Liverpool's collapse, and his misplaced header and tackle against Uruguay saw him receive a significant portion of the blame for England's 2-1 defeat. The past two months have been ones that will likely haunt Gerrard forever.
Despite Belgium progressing with a 100 per cent record from their group, Romelu Lukaku hasn't managed to transfer his good form for Everton into the World Cup. He has looked laboured, his physical presence has been virtually non-existent, and he has lacked the willingness to do the work for his side when they have been up against it.
The cameo appearances of Lille youngster, Divock Origi, have further magnified his poor performances. Belgium now face the USA in the second round, and Origi's impressive displays could well win him a starting role ahead of the Chelsea man. If he is looking to impress Mourinho ahead of pre-season, currently he is doing himself few favours.
Luis Felipe Scolari has received wide praise for his loyalty to his players, with poor form at club level not being considered enough to damage his trust in his men. There were few surprises in his squad selection before the tournament, and even fewer in his starting 11. But following three unimpressive displays, Tottenham's Paulinho could well be set to lose his starting role in La Selecao.
He struggled in his first season as a Spurs player, and has carried these problems over to Brazil. He has lacked the creative drive he provided in the Confederations' Cup last summer, and Fernandinho's substitute appearance against Cameroon showed everything that the Man City man can give ahead of Paulinho. It takes something fairly radical to lose the paternal trust of 'Felipao', but Paulinho's lifeless displays may just have done so.

Dynamics in Photoexcited DNA Bases and Related Molecules
Call for Papers
Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), the hereditary basis of life's genetic identity, has prompted extensive research interest since its structure was determined several decades ago. Nucleobases, or simply bases, are one primary building block of a DNA molecule and are the UV chromophores in DNA molecules. Electronic dynamics resulted from photoexcitation of these building block molecules plays an important role in the deactivation of photoxcited DNA bases which is essential for life. Since the development of ultrafast laser pulses and high performance computers, there has been tremendous progress in understanding the electronic dynamics of DNA bases, but it is far from complete.
We solicit original research articles as well as review articles that will prompt further understanding of the electronic dynamics in photoexcited DNA bases and related molecules. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:
- Excited-state dynamics of DNA bases and related molecules
- Electronic coupling between DNA bases and related molecules
- Photochemistry of DNA fragments
- Photodissociation of DNA bases and related molecules
- Solvent effects on the electronic excited-state dynamics
- Hydrogen bonding and transfer in the excited states
- Effect of substituents on the excited-state dynamics
Before submission authors should carefully read over the journal's Author Guidelines, which are located at http://www.hindawi.com/journals/ijp/guidelines/. Prospective authors should submit an electronic copy of their complete manuscript through the journal Manuscript Tracking System at http://mts.hindawi.com/submit/journals/ijp/ddna/ according to the following timetable:

Save Wildlife: Stop the Semantics Over 'Species'
Wednesday, May 23, 2001
Save Wildlife: Stop the Semantics Over 'Species'
By: David Mastio, Editorial Writer
First of Two Parts
What do an Alaskan goose, a white-tailed deer from Washington state and a
flat-bellied water snake from Michigan all have in common? They all are (or
recently were) listed as endangered species but at the same time weren't
actually endangered "species."
How is that possible, you might ask? Simply put, the Endangered Species Act
protects a lot more than just species that are dying out in the wild. The
definition in the law states that "endangered species" are "any subspecies
of fish or wildlife or plants, and any distinct population segment of any
species or vertebrate fish or wildlife which interbreeds when mature."
The ESA might more accurately be called the ESSDPSA (the Endangered Species,
Subspecies and Distinct Population Segment Act). It turns out that about a
third of the "species" on the endangered species list aren't endangered
species at all.
Which gets us back to those Alaskan geese and their relationship to the Bush
administration. Upon entering office Bush Interior Secretary Gale Norton
took the opportunity to announce with a bit of public fanfare that she was
delisting the "Aleutian Canada Goose." The feathery waterfowl joined an
illustrious handful of real success stories for the ESA and its enforcers at
the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service.
Press coverage of the PR event dutifully referred to the goose as an
"endangered species," but even the Fish & Wildlife press release admits that
the goose is really a "subspecies."
So what does that mean? Well, the U.S. government spent 30 years and
millions of dollars to keep non-endangered Canada Geese living on little
rocky islands off Alaska. A colossal waste of money and effort.
Which gets us to those deer in Washington state and that Michigan snake -
their stories are basically the same. The Columbia White Tail Deer, upon
which the U.S. taxpayer has lavished millions, is genetically identical to
the white tail deer that live on the other side of the Rocky Mountains and
of which there are far too many. Genetic analysis also shows that most
"endangered" Columbia White Tail Deer are actually half-breeds of the local
non-endangered black tail deer. Believe it or not, there are more than 1,000
deer-car accidents in the U.S. daily - 150 alone in Michigan where the
copperbelly water snake is "endangered" as well. Only, it's not even a
subspecies, it's a "distinct population segment" of the yellowbelly water
snake which is a subspecies of flatbelly water snake. Neither yellowbelly
nor flatbelly water snakes are endangered and the scientists who helped
decide the copperbelly is endangered have a hard time telling it from the
yellowbellies that live in the exact same area.
In each case, a quirk of geography turned animals living on the edge of a
species' normal range into a separate legal "species." Take notes here,
because this is the difficult part: Animals living at the edge of a species'
normal range are always rare and in danger of getting wiped out - that's why
it's the edge of their range. There are some places where it's good for a
particular kind of animal to live and there are some places it's not. Fewer
animals live in places it's not easy for them to live.
There's little blame for the folks who wrote the law back in 1973 when
Ronald Reagan and Jimmy Carter were still governors and our current
president was still on the sauce. Back then scientists knew little about
looking deep into the genetic code to see that animals that looked a little
different because they grew up in different environments are actually all
but identical at the genetic level. Today, after the O.J. Simpson trial and
the semen-stained dress, every American is aware of the power of DNA.
Inexplicably, however, Congress refuses to update the frozen-in-amber
species definition it has placed into law.
So now this little federal code fossil leaves behind two delicious ironies
for the liberals and environmentalists who defend its sanctity: We can't do
much to save endangered species until we update the law. For the last 30
years, as the endangered species list has grown encrusted with efforts to
save subspecies and distinct population segments, annual spending to save
legal "species" has grown nearly every year. The catch is nearly every year
the per-"species" spending has gone down. If the feds were to abandon
efforts to save legal species that aren't actually species, the per-species
spending could go up by about 50%, a boost big enough to make possible some
In April, the Bush administration proposed curbs on lawsuits to force the
federal government to act more quickly on endangered species. The reason the
feds don't act more quickly is simple: Too little money spread over too many
species. If environmentalists really cared about saving endangered species
and thought that concentrated government spending and regulation could save
them, then they'd back a means to focus efforts on saving actual biological
species instead of "legal" species. Of course, their real agenda may be
different, perhaps tying up as much land as possible in government red tape
and damn the biological consequences.
The second wonderful irony of the fossilized species definition is its
racist overtone. Last fall, a drumbeat of stories came out based on new
research about the genetic differences between humans of different races.
Typical of the headlines was this from The New York Times: "Do Races Differ?
Not Really Genes show." The irony is that the level of difference between
whites and blacks and Asians that those studies show is greater than the
difference, for instance, between the Columbia White Tail Deer and its
cousins in Colorado. Not to be too delicate, but according to the definition
of species in the ESA, blacks and whites and Asians aren't just different
races, they're different "species."
How's that for sick?

The Boykin Spaniel is the product of his native South Carolina, specifically developed to hunt from small boats with little room for the typical large retriever. Hence, the Boykin, one of the smallest of the retrievers and a water dog par excellence. He weighs 25 to 40 pounds and has a wavy or curly coat. His claim to fame is that he is the official state dog of South Carolina. Here's what you need to know if you're considering acquiring a Boykin Spaniel.
The Boykin has a friendly, cheerful personality in general. His size makes him a good choice for families with children, as long as he has been brought up with them and the canine and human playmates are supervised.
Like any sporting breed, the Boykin needs daily exercise. If you're not a hunter, a long walk will do, as well as any opportunity to swim, but you can also channel his energy into dog sports such as agility and flyball. He'll love anything that involves getting wet and he's an excellent choice for boaters, including canoers and kayakers, seeing as how he was developed to hunt from a boat.
Some lines can have excessive energy levels or a tendency toward aggression. Begin training and socialization early to ward off problems such as aggression toward unknown dogs. Boykins are smart and respond well to gentle, consistent training techniques. For best results, make training fun, using positive reinforcement techniques such as play, praise and food rewards.
Expect to comb and brush this breed's curly coat two or three times a week. Comb it first to prevent or remove mats and tangles. Do this every time your dog has been outside and picked up burrs or other debris. Use a slicker brush to remove dead hair. You may need to trim the coat every once in a while to give it a neat appearance. Be sure to give him a thorough freshwater rinse after he has been in saltwater or a lake or pond with algae, and bath as needed. In addition, trim the nails regularly, clean and trim the fur between the foot pads, and keep the ears clean and dry to prevent infections.
Last but not least, it should go without saying that a people-loving dog like the Boykin Spaniel needs to live in the house. It's an unhappy Boykin who is relegated to the backyard with little or no human companionship.
Be aware that the Boykin is a rare breed. You may have to wait six months to a year or more for a puppy to be available.
All purebred dogs have the potential to develop genetic health problems, just as all people have the potential to inherit a particular disease. Run, don't walk, from any breeder who does not offer a health guarantee on puppies, who tells you that the breed is 100 percent healthy and has no known problems, or who tells you that her puppies are isolated from the main part of the household for health reasons. A reputable breeder will be honest and open about health problems in the breed and the incidence with which they occur in her lines.
Boykin Spaniels have some health conditions that can be a concern, and they include hip dysplasia, patellar luxation, eye problems such as cataracts, and skin problems.
Ask the breeder to show evidence that both of a puppy's parents have hip scores of Excellent, Good or Fair from the Orthopedic Foundation for Animals or a PennHIP score, an OFA patella clearance and certification from the Canine Eye Registry Foundation that the eyes are healthy. You can check the website of the Canine Health Information Center to see if a breeder's dogs have these certifications. For CHIC certification, OFA elbow and cardiac clearances are recommended but optional.
Do not purchase a puppy from a breeder who cannot provide you with written documentation that the parents were cleared of health problems that affect the breed. Having the dogs "vet checked" is not a substitute for genetic health testing.
Pet insurance for Boykin Spaniels costs more than for mixed breed dogs. This is because Boykin Spaniels are more likely than mixed breed dogs to make claims for hereditary conditions that are expensive to treat.
Embrace pet insurance plans offer full coverage for all breed-specific conditions (excluding those that are preexisting) to which Boykin Spaniels are susceptible. The best time to get pet insurance for your Boykin Spaniel is when he's a healthy puppy. You can't predict what will happen in the future, and pet insurance is the one thing you can't get when you need it the most.

Just in... Pelosi breast photos... link here.
A new kind of mind-body paradigm for feminists
A NEW DAY. Today's Drudge Report contains two seemingly unrelated stories that I discovered, by accident, to be strangely connected. One has to do with the flap about Lindsay Lohan's letter to the family of Robert Altman. A news story yesterday revealed:
The 20-year-old actress, who scored a part in Altman's last movie, A Prairie Home Companion, made the interesting decision to go public with a condolence letter she wrote to the Altman family in the wake of his death from cancer last week.
Unfortunately, the letter was riddled with misspellings and grammatical errors, a fact which somehow surprised professional journalists from whom the sorry state of America's public school systems had been nefariously concealed. The article cited an example:
Patt Morrison, a columnist with the Los Angeles Times, begged to differ, calling the letter "alarmingly incoherent" and questioning what it was Lohan had learnt at the Long Island schools that gave her straight As.
For my part, I find Patt Morrison alarmingly ignorant, and I
question where in the hell Patt has been for the past couple of
decades. Howsomever, the starlet has clearly perceived the coverage of
her epistle as a gross public humiliation. A counterattack
was launched
Actress Lindsay Lohan's publicist fired back at the media on Thursday, saying journalists had crossed a line by mocking a heartfelt letter the screen star wrote following director Robert Altman's death last week.
Spokeswoman Leslie Sloane said the note -- which one columnist suggested was composed by Lohan on "one of her legendary party benders" -- was instead dashed off by the distraught 20-year-old actress on a Blackberry, moments after she learned Altman had died.The phrase "crossed a line" is especially interesting. That's where the second Drudge item comes in. The headline reads 'Hollywood's Most-Hated Web Site' Faces Lawsuit Over Photos.' The story is about a website called Perez Hilton, which among other outrages:
...routinely posts the most salacious celeb shots - like this week's panty-free Britney Spears - without crediting the photographer or agency. The ripped-off lensmen say the site, which bills itself as "Hollywood's Most-Hated Web Site" routinely fails to pay for use of their pics.
Oddly -- or not so oddly -- the photographers who make a living by crouching beside the cars of female celebrities to shove zoom lenses up their skirts as they exit are morally repelled by the fact that another show biz parasite would recycle their crotch shots without crediting the "lensmen" by name. Enough said about that.
The relevant point here is that thanks to the paparazzi, the internet, and the sartorial habits of the U.S. starlet population, you'd have to be living on another planet (or female) not to know that Lindsay Lohan is still not as famous for her illiteracy as she is for being repeatedly photographed without underwear from distinctly unflattering angles. Yet I've been unable to locate an equally splenetic tirade from her publicist about the nickname "Firecrotch," which has been applied to Ms Lohan as recently as the past week.
Calling her illiterate crosses a line, and calling her Firecrotch doesn't? Is this some twenty-first century perversion of the feminists' obsession with being admired for their beautiful minds rather than their (im)perfect bodies? Or has the attention-getting power of the female body's most intimate locations been smoothly incorporated into the current feminist paradigm: "We can flaunt it, but if men look at it, they're filthy sexist pigs, and thus we prove our superiority and exert our control."
I would have let this go as a transient musing (Lohan seems to have "issues" after all) if it hadn't been for a recent curious development in InstaPunk's site traffic. Two weeks ago, The Headhouse Gang posted an entry on this site about "The New Speaker Broad," which pointed out that among her other firsts, she was the first Speaker of the House to boast "breasts the size of canteloupes." Since then, there has been growing search traffic by internet surfers looking for references to Nancy Peloi's bust. When I clicked on one of these search queries for more information, I found a google list of staggering size, of which the first and most popular link was to a site called Politits. There, it was obvious that the blogger had made a blatant and definitive grab for the Number One spot on this topic. The entry title was:
Nancy Pelosi and her Big Rack, Juggs, Tits, Implants, and Bra Size.
Several interesting discoveries followed. The blog is the creation of a woman who calls herself D-Cup and whose site photo of herself is this:
So far so good, right? An uninhibited woman who is happy to celebrate her natural endowments along with those of other members of her sex, including Nancy Pelosi. Not so fast. It's more complicated than that. Her bio tells us:
A lover of all things blue. If my mother told me not to, you can bet I did it. Except for vote Republican. The stories I could tell, and often do. INTERESTS: Sex, Politics, Justice, Writing.
"All things blue." An interesting pun, which contrives to suggest that the blue-state left also owns, by virtue of a color accident, the subject of sex. I'm not making this up. The tone of her Nancy Pelosi entry confirms that she is scornful of those who are googling the Speaker's breasts, and she is particularly scornful if she has reason to suspect they are Republicans:
They are still at it. And now Donald Rumsfeld's getting in on the act. I'm still getting lots of hits from people who have committed Google and Yahoo searches, among other more obscure searches, on some variance of the word breast and Nancy Pelosi.
I have a question for these people...Do you really think you'll find a picture of the lead Democratic knockers on the internets?
Alert the Fundies - They Still Have Some Work to Do
The searches come from all over the world, but mostly from the "Christian" United States.
Suffering from Short-Timer's Syndrome Donald Rumsfeld Surfs the Internets
Many of the searches are coming from the DC area, but the most interesting one today came from the Pentagon at 1:24p.m. on a Wednesday. This person was looking for "nancy pelosi big rack." Donald - we're on to you...
What Is Wrong with Kansas?
I'm guessing some rightwing radio douchebag had something to say about Madame Speaker's hoots today. I've had a lot of action from Kansas. What gives?
You see, this entry isn't D-Cup's only one on this particular subject. It's her eighth. You can see the rundown for yourself. Perhaps the strangest one is this, which simultaneously derides men for looking and satirically(?) encourages women to raise money for their favorite politicians by selling photos of themselves:
So, girls, screw oil, screw big pharma, screw those damn lobbyists....you can do this on your tits alone! Add photos of your bootie (for the bigger dollars) and your pink parts (for the really BIG money), toss in some video (for the super-special billionaire donors) and you've got your warchest (no pun intended).
And the beauty of my plan is that you don't ever have to deliver beyond a peek. You can leave the real prosititution[sic] to the boys in Congress.
Despite her obvious quest for traffic, she pauses at one point in her Pelosi blogging to say this:
Now I can remove my bra and rest.....
Finally, a note to Ms. Pelosi - your breasts really should be your business, and your business alone. My apologies for, um, taking part in this free-for-all. I look forward to your leadership in the House and am, quite frankly, glad that we're getting this juvenile stuff over with now.
But it's not over with yet. She posts three more times on the same subject. And we're left with that truly incredible assertion ringing in our ears: "Your breasts really should be your business, and your business alone." Huh? If breasts -- and Pelosi's breasts in particular -- have an explicit meaning in the political context for the reactions they inspire in (evil) Republicans, then they are no longer strictly Pelosi's business.They are a political and philosophical issue. Otherwise, there's no point at all in posting on the subject eight times.
This is where the new mind-body problem comes into play. It's vividly on display in another peculiar D-Cup entry responding to a male commenter who wrote, quite rudely, "You should stick to showing your tits and let those of us who can actually reason do the talking." She had this to say (in part) in her rebutttal:
I'm thinking I ought not take much stock in his opinion.
Nevertheless, it gives me an opportunity to explore the idea that women who think and express their opinions threaten the notion of order for this guy. He's cut from the same cloth as the old boss who called me DCup. He's the guy at meetings who spouts his opinions and bristles if everyone else around the table doesn't concur. He's the guy who'd prefer that anyone not blessed with a penis stand by quietly until it's time to f**k [asterisks mine--IP] – oh, yeah…and while you're over there can you fetch me my…….cook my …….wash my…… raise my....
These guys happily support the Republican Party which has eroded women's rights in the last several years. They're Republicans because they fear. They fear women, Muslims, blacks, Mexicans, gays. Even though they control the largest amount of wealth, land and power in the world – they fear. It reminds me of a line from M*A*S*H where Margaret Houlihan says to B.J. Hunnicutt, something like "you only fear losing so much because you have the most to lose."
She proceeds to question the commenter's own sexual endowments and then, startlingly, concludes by posting a carefully faceless photo of herself in the nude, with tiny pictures of Bush and Cheney covering her nipples.
It's hard not to see such weirdness as a kind of bifurcated exhibitionism arising from two divided parts of the self, a mind that desperately wants attention and resents being ignored in favor of secondary sexual characteristics, and a body that desperately wants attention period, regardless of what anyone, including the body's owner, thinks. This war between two fragments of fractured identity (the portmanteau monicker Politits is perfect, isn't it?) has to be acted out in terms of politics, where disrespectful men are symbolized by Republicans, and the blogger's compulsion to reveal her body to all and sundry is disguised as a rational mechanism for, ahem, uncovering the deficiencies of the reactionary male. By such tortuous logic we arrive at a scenario in which it is praiseworthy for women to thrust their private parts into the public eye as a demonstration of female power which confirms their superiority regardless of the reaction. If men humbly worship at their sexual portals, women are triumphant. If men ignore or object to the display, they are impotent hypocrites and women are triumphant. If men eagerly seek out and coarsely salivate over the display, they are inferior idiots with one-track minds and women are triumphant. Hence Lohan's apparent unconcern about her genitals emblazoned in closeup across the internet and her simultaneous outrage about being ridiculed for spelling errors. Likewise, D-Cup's belief that she is intimidating critics by posting nude pictures of herself, which is an incontrovertibly backward proof -- satisfying only to her -- of the equivalent force of her intellect. The man who criticizes her mind or body is, ipso facto, a loser in both mind and body.
But the problem here is not so much with men as with women like D-Cup, in which one half of the self wants to own the cake in perpetuity, and the other wants to eat the cake down to the last crumb. In the chasm between these two poles, they fail to see that if men like to look, they're only able to in the first place because women like to show them. D-Cup wants us to look, needs us to look, enjoys showing it off, and has no integrated identity so long as she ignores or misrepresents these facts about herself. Anonymity may be one reason for her faceless photos, but facelessness is also part of the problem that confronts her in the mirror. Who is she today? The razor-sharp intellect that slices through groundless Republican fear of innocent (if woman-killing) muslims? Or the sexual bombshell who can command absolute attention merely by popping out of her bra?
There is a final proof of the identity schism. She lists her favorite sites besides her own, and they embody the split in perfect detail, including ranting female leftists on the one hand and gossipy, double-entendre laden immersions in fashion, pop culture tartlets, and artsy exhibitionism on the other. (Take a look for yourself at Unmentionables Squad, Go Fug Yourself, Blue Gal.and Feministe. The last is outstanding for this entry, which presumes to put Mark Steyn in his place for daring to put down all those oppressed Euro-Muslims. Sheesh. I'll bet Steyn is quivering in fear of the showdown.)
Yeah, I know. This whole post is an exercise in taking an elephant gun to a flea. But there is a serious fault-line in the feminist worldview of the 21st century, and if women won't look at it, someone else has to. The new icon is the slut-queen who transcends all criticism and automatically displaces 2,000 years of western cultural tradition with semi-conscious paganism. If true, it's a notable development. I think the muslims already know how they would deal with it. And if they get the chance, I'm pretty sure D-Cup would start feeling nostalgic for us evil Republicans.
I could be all wrong, of course. If you think so, take a try at explaining it yourself.
UPDATE. La Malkin is all over Britney for the same wardrobe offense(s) committed by Ms. Lohan. She's also offering advice that I'm pretty sure isn't wanted. You be the judge.
UPDATE 12/07/06. The author of Politits has responded to this entry in a very ladylike way. I applaud the tone of her argument and though I disagree with her on multiple issues -- you can read my comment at her blog -- I withdraw much of my charge about dual identity. In truth, she's as frank as I could hope for. Now, if we can just adjust her political perspective...
UPDATE 4/5/07. Yes, we do finally have what you're looking for. Pictures. You'll find the link here.

When treating pregnant or postpartum individuals with bipolar disorder, health-care professionals take great care to balance the need to maintain the person's stable mood and behavior while minimizing the risks that medications used to treat this disorder may present to the patient, developing fetus, or nursing infant. While many medications that treat bipolar disorder may carry risks to the fetus in pregnancy and during breastfeeding, careful monitoring of the amount of medication that is administered as well as the health of the fetus or infant and of the mother can go a long way toward protecting the fetus or infant from any such risks, while maximizing the chance that the fetus or infant will grow in the healthier environment inside or outside the womb afforded by an emotionally healthy mother.
What are complications and the prognosis/effects over time of bipolar disorder?
While the prognosis for bipolar disorder indicates that individuals with this disorder can expect to experience episodes of some sort of mood problem up to 60% of the time, those episodes can be well managed by the combination of psychotherapy and medication treatment. There are a number of potential complications of bipolar disorder, particularly if left untreated. This illness may be compounded by other mental-health problems including substance abuse and addiction, whether it be to legal substances like alcohol or tobacco, prescription medications like amphetamine and dextroamphetamine (Adderall) or hydrocodone/acetaminophen (Vicodin), or to illicit drugs like heroin or cocaine. Bipolar disorder sufferers tend to experience thinking (cognitive) problems and those who are repeatedly hospitalized psychiatrically have more trouble functioning throughout life. The risk of committing suicide is 60 times higher for people with bipolar disorder compared to the general population. That may be partly due to the chronic emotional pain that some people with this disorder experience, in that they endure years of depressive and manic symptoms, the consequences of their actions during those disease states, as well as potentially longing for the increased energy and sense of well-being of mania that may be quelled by psychiatric medications. Bipolar disorder is the fifth leading cause of disability and the ninth leading cause of years lost to death or disability worldwide.

Jake Tapper has distinguished himself within the White House press corps as someone consistently willing to pose probing questions to the president and his aides. But on today's Good Morning America, ABC's chief White House correspondent used a particularly unflattering metaphor for Rep. Joe Wilson and his decision to go on Fox News to defend himself. As a clip of Rep. Wilson on last night's Sean Hannity show rolled . . .
JAKE TAPPER: Although Wilson apologized to the White House for his lack of civility, he quickly took to the limelight of conservative media like a moth to a flame.
Just an hour before Wilson went on with Hannity, Olbermann devoted an entire Special Comment to denigrating the SC Republican, referring to him as "stupid," "pathetic," and likening him to "a drunk" at a ballgame.
It's also been widely reported that Wilson's Dem opponent for his House seat has raised hundreds of thousands of dollars in the "you lie!" aftermath.
Surely Tapper can't believe Wilson should play rope-a-dope with those who would destroy him?

Multiplex Ligation-dependent Probe Amplification (MLPA) is a PCR-based technique that was developed for identifying deletions and duplications in genomic DNA. The simplicity and sensitivity of this approach has led to it being implemented in many laboratories around the world. Since the original publication, there have been several variants of MLPA described, allowing the quantitative analysis of mRNA transcript levels, CpG methylation, complex genomic regions, and DNaseI hypersensitive sites. This chapter outlines the basic MLPA protocol, describes the different modifications and applications that have been published, and discusses the critical points during each of the steps.

10 year old Carrier mid furnace with standing pilot
My son has a 10 year old Carrier mid furnace with a standing pilot. No parts book available. It has AC. Water dripped from the A frame and rusted the burners and clogged the pilot. I'm a licensed gasfitter. I cleaned the burners and put CLR in the pilot. Now the pilot works but it's still restricted. I replaced the thermocouple. It's working now, however the pilot isn't strong. What's the orifice size of this pilot? I'll drill it out to totally remove the obstruction.
I don't know of any carrier furnace that had been made with a standing pilot within the last ten years. I would have to guess it has a three wire pilot assembly/switch. If you had to pour clr into the pilot to clean it, I would recommend replacing the pilot.
Can you let me know what else i can check on my carrier furnace, that's not staying on. I have clean the flame sensor and the glow coil working fine, but after 60 seconds the flame blows out and the valves never get heated
Skip, Carrier made a cheap builders grade GFA mid unit with a standing pilot. (And a Payne and Bryant clone). For $2 more it could have had a HSI, go figure.
Bryan that orifice is ultra tiny as it is a micropilot type burner and obsolete. Not sure what the size was. It is usually stamped on the side of the orifice and you may see it with a strong magnifying glass.

The following accounts were taken from Columbia County Sheriff's Office incident reports:
Kayaks damaged, stolen
An owner of a Martinez kayak rental business called authorities Thursday after discovering a rented kayak was damaged and another stolen from the kayak storage area.
The owner of Savannah River Kayak Rental said a customer who rented a kayak said it kept filling up with water while kayaking. She found three puncture holes, each about 2 inches long, that go all the way through the kayak.
Stolen dog taken to vet
A Grovetown man said someone stole his dog, then took it to a local veterinarian's office as their own.
The 37-year-old man said he let the dog outside to do his business on March 14, but the dog never returned. The man said he got a call on March 20 from an animal recovery service, which stated his dog had been located and he needed to contact the Grovetown Animal Clinic.
Stalker watches woman at work
A woman called authorities Wednesday claiming a man has been stalking her at work.
Burglar busted septic tank
An Appling woman said whoever recently broke into her home also got her vehicle stuck in the mud and broke her septic tank.
The 61-year-old woman said she and her husband returned home on Friday after several days away and found the back door open. She also noticed her Chevrolet K5 Blazer was covered in mud. The vehicle was clean and the house was locked when the couple left several days prior.
Couple barge into woman's bathroom
A Harlem couple was arrested Wednesday morning after they barged in on a Harlem woman as she showered.
Allen Hoyt Haulbrook, 45, and his wife, Paula Ann Haulbrook, 44, both of Browns Road, were charged with criminal trespass. Allen Haulbrook also was charged with driving under the influence, failure to maintain lane and failure to yield to an emergency vehicle.
Harlem woman calls in report
A Harlem woman called authorities Thursday and said the father of her children stole money and trashed her home.
The 33-year-old woman said she left her children at her home with their father while she went to work. She returned early in the day and discovered he had stolen money from the piggy bank belonging to their 14-month-old daughter. The woman said she took the baby back to work with her.
Man dies in single-car crash
An Appling man died Wednesday in a single-car wreck on Ray Owens Road.
Danny Keith Baird, 54, of Michele Drive, ran off the right side of Ray Owens Road near Bennett Road just before 4 p.m., according to Columbia County sheriff's Capt. Steve Morris. Baird over-corrected, crossed the road and hit several trees.
Baird was transported to the Georgia Regents Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead, according to Columbia County Deputy Coroner Bonnie Holloway.
Woman steals car, then asks for paperwork
A manager at a Martinez used car lot called police Friday after a woman who stole a car on a test drive threatened employees and demanded the vehicle's paperwork.
The finance manager at Belair Auto Sales at 114 S. Belair Road said that a 19-year-old Augusta woman test drove a 2004 gold Suzuki Forenza on Feb. 27 and didn't return it.
Burglar explored house, used bed
A Martinez man called authorities Monday after returning from a trip to discover that someone had rifled through his home and laid in his bed.
The 56-year-old man said he and his wife returned from a trip to Virginia and noticed their television was moved.
As they went through the home, the man said they found French doors in the kitchen unlocked and windows in an upstairs and a downstairs bedroom were open.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 26/6/2014 (1096 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Sobeys Inc. confirmed yesterday the closure of the Safeway location in Shoppers Mall, but the location will survive through the summer.
Empire Co. Ltd., Sobeys' parent company, released its annual financial results Thursday, confirming information released to the Brandon Sun by the United Food and Commercial Workers Local 832 this week.
The Brandon location is one of about 50 grocery stores to close across the country and its closure date will be determined in six to eight weeks.
The store has been open since 1981 and is one of the 50 "consistently underperforming" stores, according to the fiscal report.
"Over the last several months, a comprehensive evaluation of the store network has taken place across Canada," said John Graham, public affairs director for Sobeys. "As a result of this review, a decision has been made to close approximately 50 stores across Canada, including the Shoppers Mall Brandon store."
The company employs about 50 people at the Shoppers Mall location and unionized workers have "bumping rights," meaning they may have the chance to move to Safeway's Corral Centre store.
Graham said the company is also reviewing the collective agreement to see if workers can hop over to the Sobeys brand to find work, since the two banners still operate independently of one another.
"At this stage, we're still working through that process," he said. "Certainly we're working with the union regarding all collective agreement language that applies to store closures."
This closure comes one year after Sobeys acquired Safeway Canada and its 213 outlets for $5.8 billion.
According to the UFCW, more than 300 UFCW 832 members in Manitoba will be affected.
"This is the downside of business mergers and acquisitions. When our members heard of the sale of Safeway to Sobeys last year, many have been wondering when this day would come. While the news is very unfortunate, I would have to say it wasn't unexpected," stated UFCW Local 832 president Jeff Traeger in a press release.
"We will do everything we can to keep our members informed and to ensure their rights under the agreement are honoured through the transition."

Posted by Reineke Reitsma on May 3, 2010
For a track session at Forrester's Marketing Forum at the end of April, I dived into the topic of customer satisfaction. For market researchers looking to set up a customer satisfaction (CSAT) study, much guidance is available. However, it also became clear to me why, despite all this advice, many customer satisfaction projects fail.
Most of the information I found -- or the conversations I had, for that matter -- were around the 'science' part of CSAT studies: the methodology and set-up. There are many discussions online about questions like which scale to use, which questions to ask (or not), whether a company should focus on relational versus transactional measurement, or if it's better to conduct a customized CSAT project or use an established method like Net Promoter.
However, in my conversations with market researchers, I found that the success of CSAT projects isn't based as much on science -- although a sound and repeatable set-up doesn't hurt -- as much as it is on 'art.' The art lies in understanding the company's business issues; translating these into a well-structured questionnaire; finding the drivers for success; and later, when the results are in, presenting the results in an actionable format.
Any customer satisfaction project that focuses on numbers misses out on the 'art' element of CSAT. Of course, using a standardized methodology helps the company benchmark itself against its competitors. But what does it mean when 80% of your clients are satisfied? The organization will look at this number and want to drive it up, without any understanding of what the impact on the bottom line will be when the percentage of satisfied customers increases from 80% to 82%.

When is a war a winnable one? That, it seems, can depend on your perception.
Nato, apparently, remains confident that the Western intervention in Afghanistan, short on international attention and resources since the focus turned to Iraq in 2003, can still reach a positive conclusion.
Addressing a seminar today at the Chatham House think tank in London, Jamie Shea, director of policy planning in office of Nato secretary general Jaap de Hoop Scheffer, insisted progress was being made.
"Above all, we have recognised that this is a mission that is eminently do-able," said the now white-haired Englishmen, best known for his role as chief press officer and public face of Nato during various the Balkan crises.
Success would depend on improved cooperation between nations and other organisations, and could take as long as a decade, he warned, noting: "The business of state-building is a work in progress."
His cautiously optimistic view of a sustained, global effort to stablise the Afghan state, crack down on the drugs trade and gradually train a new force of domestic police officers was far too rosy for some of the academics, policy experts and journalists listening.
One BBC reporter with experience of present day Afghanistan called Mr Shea's version "absolutely extraordinary", saying: "I couldn't recognise the country from how you described it."
But while there was someone willing to talk up the Afghan campaign, the view on Iraq, the other main subject of the morning's talk, could be summed up as such: we're all doomed.
And this, it should be remembered, was no student debate but a room full of several hundred sober-suited, overwhelmingly middle aged specialists.
While Sir Christopher Meyer, Britain's ambassador in Washington when the troops first went into Iraq, could describe Afghanistan as "winnable", he made no similar predictions for the other war.
Those who could speak more bluntly did so, with some vehemence.
Toby Dodge, an Iraq expert at London University's Queen Mary College and author of several books on the modern Iraqi state spoke of a political vacuum now filled by militia groups.
"The thing to keep in mind is that the Iraqi state does not exist in a meaningful fashion," he said, warning that a rapid US troop withdrawal would make matters even worse.
It would be "morally repugnant to leave 26 million people to descend into hell - a hell that we have created," he said.
When the foreign troops eventually leave, they will leave "a collapsed state with a civil war, in one of the most important geo-political regions in the world".

Natural Features & Ecosystems
From its beginnings in North Carolina, the New River winds its way northward through southern West Virginia. For nearly 320 miles, the river traverses a land of diverse topography and spectacular scenery.
The New River's origins can be traced back to the birth of the Appalachian mountains and an ancient river called the Teays. Late in the Paleozoic Era, 500 million years ago, the North American and African plates collided, buckling and shattering the earth's crust and forcing the Appalachians up towards the sky. The Teays River, with headwaters near present-day Blowing Rock, NC, drained the slopes of the new mountain range. As the Teays River picked up speed and power it began cutting through the roots of the old mountains, all the while maintaining it northerly flow. This action continues today in the spectacular New River Gorge, where in some place the river has cut 1500 feet down through the old Appalachians to create a deep canyon.
Because the New River is so old, its habitats and wildlife have been able to achieve a form of stability. Millions of years of available passage have allowed many species of plants and animals to move in and persist in the area. Since the New River cuts from east to west across the Appalachians, we find species that are typically Atlantic coastal plain and piedmont, such as melic grass, living with northern mountain species. Because time has favored the new River Gorge, certain unique species have been able to carve their own niches here. Several species of fish have evolved that are endemic (found nowhere else) to this river.

I kinda like that she doesn't seem to have much of a face besides her eyes. Even though faces are my favorite part of a girl's body, behind her eyes. Though, like Sab says, it is a tad difficult to tell what's goin' on. Is she doin' a backflip?
She's just lounging on top of the creature's corpse, but it looks more like she's just kind of floating right now. Plan to revisit this sometime and touch it up a little.
Rated 3.5 / 5 stars
I really love how dynamic the background and everything is, but I'm gonna be honest, it took me a while to realize what was going on in this picture. There's too much visual information all at once, and not enough depth to distinguish Butcherette in foreground. Now that I know what your Butcherette character looks like, (looked at the other image before this in your gallery) it all makes sense.
I think the fact that she doesn't really have a face is what threw me.
Just an observation: If you wanted to fix this to make the image more readable, you could use thicker line weight on Butcherette and add a bit of a silhouette or cast shadow to offset her from the rest of the background.
Keep up the great artwork!
Thanks! I'll be the first to admit this picture is lacking in a proper hierarchy. I kind of convinced myself to take this pic to the extreme and sort of lost track of it the more I worked on it. I still have the working file for this so maybe I'll revisit it with some varying line widths.

Is it possible to get a breast lift, breast implants size reduction and tummy tuck all at once? I have no natural breast tissue left, thin skin with little elasticity. I'd like to reduce my silicon 550cc down to a small implant (200-250cc) with minimal scarring.
My tummy is stretched below my belly button and it appears to be all tissue/skin. Even when I lower my body fat to 12-15%, the tummy does not improve. I'm 5'9, 30 years old and fit.
