I'm in a Tea Party State of Mind
By Jessica Chasmar (8/17/11)
"I bought the groceries and kept the kitchen stocked," said Laurie Newsom, "but the kids make their own lunch. If they forgot their lunch, they didn't get lunch."
It was this parenting structure that Newsom — wife and mother of four, an ophthalmology clinic owner and the president of the Gainesville Tea Party — believes gave her children a sense of personal responsibility at a very young age and made them the successful professionals they are today.
Newsom is not your run-of-the-mill, stay-at-home, June Cleaver mom. She was very hands off, letting her kids make their own decisions. They eventually learned responsibility and accountability through trial-and-error. It's this type of mentality that Newsom believes most young people in the United States have lost, and it's the same mentality that she, as president of the local Tea Party, is trying to bring back.
"The Tea Party is really best described like what our chair of the Alachua County Republican Party describes it as: It's a 'state of mind,'" she said.
It's a "state of mind" because the Tea Party invites everyone who shares the same values — free markets, limited government and fiscal responsibility — to have a voice in politics.
"We've had a variety of conservative Democrats switch into the Republican Party," Newsom said. "Libertarians face a problem because of the social issues. The Republicans need to understand that those issues have their roots in individual freedom. We're trying to bridge that gap by saying that our values have nothing to do with social issues."
Newsom believes that if you have a limited government, then you have an opportunity to make your own decisions on those social issues.
"We don't care about abortion," she said. "It's none of the government's business. See, we're not fringe, yet we've been perceived that way. The Republicans are the ones who are fringe Right when it comes to social issues. It hasn't been Tea Party people up there promoting pro-life. We won't even go there."
Newsom doesn't want the Republican Party denigrating Tea Partiers as fringe. Not only is it inaccurate, she said, but conservatives can't afford the rift. It's her responsibility, as president, to advise against voting for a third-party candidate or a libertarian candidate, such as Ron Paul. Newsom supports and admires Ron Paul, but she agrees that a vote for him is a vote for President Obama — a vote she isn't willing to make.
"We need to vote for people that we can actually envision sitting in that seat," she said. "I really am a libertarian, but I'm also a pragmatist."
She also agrees with many Tea Partiers that I've interviewed in the past that a vote for Mitt Romney is not a vote for him, but much more a vote against Obama.
"When McCain won the nomination, it was obvious there was a push from the left because they knew he would lose," she said. "That's why the media are pushing Romney. He's the Democratic choice for a Republican candidate. Romney is not a good candidate. He will lose."
GOP candidate Herman Cain is Newsom's favorite at this point. Cain attended more than 40 Tea Party rallies last year, including one that Newsom attended. Minn. Rep. Michelle Bachmann is her second-in-line, but she also believes that electability and name recognition are working against both candidates.
Newsom never meddled in her kids' lives. She never made their decisions for them. She never bothered with telling them what courses to take. She never told them what they could and could not pack in their lunches. She simply expected them to do their job appropriate for whatever age they were, and if they didn't perform at that level, they faced the consequences. Her laissez-faire parenting produced a doctor, a lawyer and two successful businesswomen. It was that type of individual choice and responsibility that she used in her parenting that translates into how she feels about the public education system.
"Government should not be in the education business, period," she said. "Compulsory schooling is not conducive to individual freedom. If they can't afford to educate their children, they shouldn't be having them. If they have them, they have to face the consequences of raising them."
She believes that parents don't feel the responsibility now to take care of their own children, because the government has safety nets in place for them. In her opinion, there's nothing more optional than childbearing, and education is not a right for any American.
It might be a hard thing for people to understand: Education that's not free? But the truth is, we have lost a sense of personal responsibility. If we, as Americans, knew that we had no one else to depend on other than ourselves and ourselves only, can't it be assumed that we would make different choices? After my interview with Newsom, I couldn't help but wonder: Where does government responsibility end and personal accountability begin? What happened to the individual liberty that our Founding Fathers intended for us, and how do we get it back?
"No matter what Obama or [Rep. Nancy] Pelosi say, we are Americans," Newsom said. "We are different from any other group of people. We still have gazillions of people, be it from Germany all the way down to your third world countries, who want to be here. It's not just because we have iPods, it's because we're us. You can see the difference. The Tea Party has showcased that 'exceptionalism.'"

All 18 candidates for Detroit City Council answer critical questions about budget, ethics, crime, regionalism and collaboration during video interviews on MiVote.org
August 19, 2009
DEARBORN / Aug. 19, 2009---Just weeks after surviving a hotly contested primary election, all 18 candidates for Detroit City Council are answering critical questions on camera about the state of the city and their plans if they win in November.
The video interviews, part of a free multimedia project from Detroit Public TV and the University of Michigan-Dearborn, are available on MiVote.org and involve each candidate answering questions about:
Budget: How to cut city spending and generate revenue
Ethics: How to hold members of council more accountable
Crime: How to improve city-suburb relations
Collaborations: How to improve council-mayor relations
The 8-10 minute interviews, conducted Aug. 10-11 with the Institute for Local Government at UM-Dearborn, ARISE Detroit, WWJ and the League of Women Voters, are the second phase of an unprecedented voter education project. Before the primary, MiVote interviewed 106 candidates for council and the charter commission. A second round of interviews with charter commission candidates is set for Aug. 24-25.
Our goal is to level the campaign playing field and provide every possible way for voters to hear directly from the candidates, according to Dave Manney, DPTVs director of content. That means beyond the Internet, well be televising these interviews in Septemberand well be producing candidate debates in October.
For more information about the MiVote project, contact Manney by phone at 313-701-8274 or via e-mail at email@example.com, or Dale Thomson, director of the Institute for Local Government, at 313-593-5545.

Looking for a detachable quiver for my 2012 cougar. Whats everyones take?
Looking for a detachable quiver for my 2012 cougar. Whats everyones take?
I tried the kwikee 6 arrow on my shadowcat. The cat has a super long riser so I really didn't like how low it was. So gave it to my boy. now I have the g5 head-loc on it now and it is nice. slides up and or down some has a rubber mount so its nice and viberation free. Almost bought a alpine soft loc but got a better deal on the g5. i will get some pics up some time today.
What camo patterns do you guys think matches the next G1 camo pattern i have thought about getting a new quiver my self?
2013 Martin Onza XT
NAP Apache Rest
Trophy Ridge 3pin Cypher Sight
NAP Apache Stabilizer
Kwikee Kwik 3 Kwiver
Truball stinger release
CX Heart Attack 350
100g Rocket Hammerheads
Bow String Depot
60% of the time it works every time!
I bought one of these and had high hopes it would work for me and my setup, but being an odd-ball, especially regarding broadheads (using Grizzly and Grizzly El Grande/Kodiak), it didn't. I really liked the dual grippers and vertical adjustability and easy attach/detach mechanism and the 6-arrow capacity. What I didn't like was the hood. For me it's too short - doesn't cover enough length of the broadhead edges - and I didn't like the fact it has cloth material covering the hood and the lower edge of the hood and the inside has no dampening material. I found it was too easy for my broadhead edges to make contact with the edge material when removing an arrow, cutting the cloth edge lining all too often and too easy and causing it to get frayed prematurely. I also found it to be noisy during arrow removal - my broadhead would make contact with the inside of the plastic hood and make a noise that I'm sure any game animal within shooting range could hear. My current Kwikee quiver hood is rubber lined and dampens contact noise which is a big plus in the field. The only only thing I wish my current quiver had is a 5 to 6 arrow capacity - the main reason I bought the G5 Head-Loc. Due to the hood and it's shortcomings (for my setup), I returned it the next day.
Now, to add a little more to this story, another poster on AT started a thread about Kwikee's excellent customer service and how they had taken really good care of him when he dropped his bow and cracked the hood of his VERY old Kwikee quiver which started buzzing afterward due to the pieces being held together by the rubber lining and buzzing when he shot. Kwikee sent him a replacement, no questions asked. I commented that I really liked my 4-arrow Kwikee Combo, with the only thing I wished it had was 5-6 arrow capacity. A VP at Kwikee got onto this thread and mentioned the company is coming out with some new products fairly soon to address our "concerns". I'm hoping it will be a 6 arrow version of the K4 Combo I currently have (dual grippers and so on). So, if anyone is looking for a good, very reasonably priced, higher capacity quiver like the Kwikee K4, keep checking the company's website. It hasn't been posted yet but I'm hoping it will be by summer.
BTW, I have no affiliation with Kwikee at all. I just like their product - very reasonably priced (about $30 for my current quiver) and it has all the features most hunters would like and need (dual grippers, quiet, easy to attach/detach and the hood covers broadheads well).
08/13 Martin Firecat Pro-X (29" DL, 67.5# DW), Nitro 3 cams, home-made bent cable guard rod, new VEMs, DS Advantage/HHA Pro-5519 front sight, No-Peep Sight Eliminator, Limb-Driver arrow rest, B-Stinger stabilizer, custom lower & upper STS with offset stops, G5 Head-Loc quiver on custom mounting bracket. Gold Tip Velocity XT300 arrows with Bi-Delta 2.5" Sharkstooth vanes and Grizzly single-bevel broadheads, 498 grains at 262 fps (22% FOC)
I like the Alpine Bear claw quiver myself. They come in a few different camo colors, hold 5 arrows, and have replaceable foam inserts to hold your broadheads in place. They also are quick disconnect and have a tree mount available. $30 and a thumbs up.

it doesn't have enough "equations"
What are the equations of biology? Either this criticism is denying the phenomena or it is accepting the phenomena and choosing to ignore them. Not knowing the equations that describe phenomena is not a basis for rejecting or ignoring them.
The importance of plasma phenomena is obviously underrated as there is a "terrestrial bias" within modern science - the tendency to assume that the most important physical facts are the physical facts we can observe in our local environment. Upwards of 99% of the mass in the universe exists in the plasma state, IIRC. Does 99% of astrophysics concentrate on plasma phenomena? I think it's completely the other way around.
Clayton -
The only one worth following is the one who leads... not the one who pulls; for it is not the direction that condemns the puller, it is the rope that he holds.
Upwards of 99% of the mass in the universe exists in the plasma state
Upwards of 99% of the mass in the universe exists in the plasma state
How do you know? ;)
@Andris: I don't know how they have figured that number but it is uncontroversial with mainstreamers. Of course, mainstreamers also believe that 95% of all mass in the Universe is only visible through its "gravitational effects", aka Dark Matter/Energy. Go figure.
That's exactly my point. Why do you choose to believe one figure, but not another?
Oh, because I know how they arrived at the figure for Dark Matter/Energy and it's just... pure bullshit.
Standard astrophysics/cosmology is almost entirely garbage:
Dark matter/energy is embarrassing science. Why do they keep pushing this stuff??
As an example, I've watched at least a half-dozen videos of sundiving-comet-CME events. There is a definite pattern. The comet is pulled in to the Sun and moments later (in fast-forward time), a massive CME erupts on the 180-degrees opposite side of the Sun. Standard model says "that's not possible, a comet isn't big enough to significantly affect the Sun and whatever effects the comet does produce could not have traveled to the other side of the Sun in such a short time". Their excuse for the pattern is that "CMEs happen all the time... it just so happened that the comet hit at about the same time as a CME was firing off for unrelated reasons."
But this is based on the non-electrical theory of comets... that the electrical charge of comets is immaterial. The EU theory, on the other hand, shows that even a small body - such as a comet - can accumulate a massive charge, particularly as it rapidly moves through the electric field of the Sun. The electrical discharge of the comet in the EU model will be immense and its effect on the Sun will be considerable. Being as the cometary impact is primarily an electrical event and that electrical energy travels nearly at the speed of light, the effect of the comet can move to the opposite side of the Sun almost instantly. The charge disturbance requires equalization to bring the Sun back to equilibrium... this is what the comet-induced CME is, it is the Sun returning to electrical equilibrium.
I'm a non-expert. I am no physicist, let alone astrophysicist. But the correlation is so obvious that even a child can see it. Yet the gray-faced establishment scientists insist that you're just hallucinating. What the hell is going on!
On the prior post - why are they pushing this? - I'm going to reiterate a theory I've posited before. I think that the atomic bomb is made up. It's science fiction. The conception of the Sun as a gigantic fusion reactor is part and parcel of reinforcing the myth of the atomic bomb. This is why the Establishment is suppressing science that will lead to the deconstruction of this basic error. There is no price too high for their precious one world government.
Radioactivity, of course, is very real. So where's all that energy coming from, if not the "decay" of the matter itself?
We know that the decay rates of several elements vary with the sunspot cycle. Whoa! I was taught that radioactive decay is the result of the gradual decomposition of an "unstable" element into a "stable" element... so that means that an element chooses how stable it is based on the solar sunspot cycle?? Something doesn't add up. If radioactivity is solely a structural phenomenon (a consequence solely of matter changing from one configuration to another and emitting energetic particles in the process), then the sunspot cycle should factor nowhere into it.
Everything resonates based on its geometry. If you cut a string to some length, stretch it taught, then pluck it, it will vibrate the air and cause sound waves to move through the air. This is resonance. And it works backwards, as well (so-called sympathetic vibration): If you sing the same pitch that the string produces when plucked, the vibrations in the air caused by your vocal cords will impart energy to the string and it will begin to vibrate.
Electrical resonance is no different. If you cut a quartz crystal to just the right thickness, it will vibrate sympathetically to a specific electrical frequency. This is the basis of a "crystal radio". Similarly, crystals are used in "reference oscillators"... such as the quartz oscillator in low-end watches. Radio antennas - such as the antenna in your cellphone - are also resonant and, when coupled with special oscillator and detector circuits, allow the reception and transmission of electromagnetic waves.
We know that atoms are not actually atoms, that is, they are not actually indivisible (the meaning of the Greek word "atom" is ... indivisible). Atoms can be split and they have an internal structure. In particular, atoms have geometry, that is, dimensions. They resonate on the basis of those dimensions. This is, in fact, the basis of the atomic clock. It uses the same principle of resonance as a quartz oscillator... only at much higher frequency as the atoms being excited are of much smaller dimensions.
So here's my theory: radioactive phenomena are the consequence of the fact that certain elements (the so-called "unstable" elements) act not only as extremely high-frequency antennae but also as frequency transducers. A frequency transducer can convert energy from one frequency to another. All atoms are ultra-high-frequency* antennae (if you vibrate them at their resonant frequencies, they will absorb energy and begin to throw off electrons and photons) but what makes the "unstable" elements unique is that they can spontaneously convert the ultra-high-frequency radiation in the environment into radiation that we can observe (radioactive particle emissions).
So what causes radioactive decay? Well, as the "unstable" atoms are transducing energy from ultra-high-frequencies to frequencies we can detect, they are "rattled around" and become less efficient transducers. The decayed form of the atom - lead or whatever it may be - is when its transducing capacity has been reduced to zero and is now "stable", that is, not a transducer anymore (like any non-radioactive element).
What are these ultra-high-frequencies? Well, they are just like any other frequency... just too high to detect with modern equipment. They are generated by the Sun and emitted in all directions. They may also be generated by the Earth's core and the cores of the other active planets. They may play a not-yet-understood role in gravitation.
Why believe in ultra-high-frequencies? Isn't it better just to explain the phenomena in the standard way? The advantage of the frequency explanation is that it reduces the entities in accordance with Ockham's razor. In the ultra-high-frequency theory, we just have higher frequency vibrations of the same sort we're already familiar with and we do away with the nonsensical idea of matter "turning into" energy or matter being "the same thing as" energy.
*Note that UHF is already an in-use acronym and denotes a specific band of RF below microwaves but above VHF (very-high-frequency)... I mean to denote frequencies that are much, much higher than anything already part of the standard model.
Note that UHF is already an in-use acronym
Note that UHF is already an in-use acronym
I suggest über high frequency, with ÜHF as acronym, for the frequencies' range you meant :)
Thanks for the positive feedback.
I'm only just getting started on the EU stuff but the entire Universe makes a hell of a lot more sense once placed in the electrical context.
I haven't really explored it yet but Thunderbolts has a forum which you might find interesting.
Why anarchy fails
@AJ: I have contemplated that idea and I wonder if we could mix both models - perhaps Uranus and Neptune are prior anti-Suns? That is, perhaps the primary of our solar system hasn't gone "... Sun, Saturn, Sun, Saturn..." but has gone "... ?, Sun, Neptune, Sun, Uranus, Sun, Saturn, Sun, ... " Or, perhaps there has been a more complex alternation.
I really believe that we need to extend the theoretical work that Kepler began in his Harmonies of the World. This would be a far more worthwhile investment in the theoretical physics front than this absurd pissing contest over who can find the smallest, most bizarre particle... or "shadows" thereof. Basically, I'm thinking of applying Fourier analysis or other, more complex forms of analysis (Markov, even algorithmic) to analysis of a) orbital resonances, b) the heliospheric current sheet and the magnetospheres of all the planets and their moons to the extent we can reasonably estimate them and c) RF, X-ray and other emissions from the planets (also, the roles of asteroids and comets). The goal would be to discover the "electrical circuit diagram" of the solar system. How is energy stored? Where is it coming from and where is it going to? Can we discover any very-long-period resonances? Finding a credible explanation of the equinoctial precession would be a good starting point.

Do not forget to use HMM and MCMC. Seriously, where would you get the raw data? Just curious.
Well, I think that the solar observatories give us a great starting point and the terrestrial magnetic and ionospheric observatories (HAARP, etc.) give us a great picture of the Earth. So, we have very detailed pictures of the Sun and the Earth. We can receive RF signals from Jupiter a lot of the time and I believe we can also pick up signals from Saturn. My understanding is that these are the "big hitters" - Sun, Earth, Jupiter and Saturn.
At this point, we understand so little about the workings of the Solar system that I think that mere statistical correlation studies could glean a lot. For example, tracking the incidence and nature of CMEs versus sun-diving comets. But I think there are lot of potential correlata that we haven't even thought of - perhaps there are correlations between Jupiter's radio emissions and solar activity? At the very least it seems like the Sun should influence the processes responsible for Jupiter's RF emissions. The Earth also is very RF active so it might be useful to record Earth's RF emissions from a satellite (or perhaps it's possible to record them from the ground, I don't fully understand how they capture these emissions).
We can't directly observe the electric or magnetic fields surrounding the planets but I was just reading on Thunderbolts that light passing through magnetic fields is perturbed... perhaps you could track the magnetospheres of Jupiter and Saturn by observing the spectra of background stars as the planets pass near them. This would be an investment but orders of magnitude less expensive than LHC.
Another place to look is pulsars - do "radio-bright" pulsars have any detectable influence on the solar system? I'm thinking that we should just plot all of this kind of data into a gigantic database and start doing NxN searches for correlations with supercomputers. For example, we know sunspots go up and down in an 11-year cycle... can we find any other signals that move up and down in 11-year (f) or 22-year (1/2f) or 5.5 year (2f) cycles, etc, etc. Most importantly, we should be looking for cross-phenomenal correlations... a change in X-ray patterns over here correlates with a change in magnetic field patterns over there. This has nothing to do with building a causal theory but, rather, building the raw data required to begin to construct a causal theory. We haven't even taken the first baby steps yet. Somebody needs to start, IMO.

Last time I've seen a drawing by an atomic physicist it was a Feynman diagram - and it was not smooth at all. Did you mean pictures of atomic orbitals? Those are smooth for sure. But they are not intended to illustrate an atom... You didn't mean Bohr model, did you? :)
Sorry about nit-picking, I enjoy this thread anyway.
atomic orbitals? Those are smooth for sure. But they are not intended to illustrate an atom
Yes. I believe they do give the geometry of the atom depending on how the electrons resonate in the outer-most shell.
Working through this:
It's fantastic!
Yet another guy who understands the incoherence of infinity, the Axiom of Choice, and so-called real numbers.
Interesting, "my views and opinions" link from his homepage, which I hoped would lead to some texts on this issue, is broken. I hate videos when it comes to learning ideas :(
ON EDIT: ha, the wayback machine to the rescue: http://web.archive.org/web/20110725051201/http://web.maths.unsw.edu.au/~norman/views.htm
I skipped part I because I'm already familiar with the problems in standard theory but I watched the part II. He's right that we don't have ways to do generalized operations on numbers specified as algorithms (e.g. to compare equality) but part of that comes with the territory (deciding if two functions compute the same value is an uncomputable problem). He is very even-handed in acknowledging the possibility of resolving these issues and that is actually the whole reason I am studying this guy's theories on universal hyperbolic geometry. I'm convinced that there is something "natural" and/or "fundamental" about hyperbolic geometry (in the complex plane, however... but first I need to learn hyperbolic geometry in the real plane). Basically, I think we need to build the equivalent of a Turing machine... but made out of waves. My interest turned to hyperbolic geometry because of the astounding relationship:
ex = sinh x + cosh x
The exponential is the only function whose derivative is itself. And it is composed of two functions who are mutual derivatives:
d/dx sinh x = cosh x
d/dx cosh x = sinh x
Why does this matter? Because if you want to build a computer purely out of mathematical objects, you need a geometry that exists in two states simultaneously, not one. The problem with ordinary geometries is that they describe dead, eternal, static form - like the floorplan of a house. But that is not how computation is. Computation "moves", like time moves. What makes a digital computer move is its table of "next states" that are based on the present state.
The derivative is a natural kind of "next state" function - it is a function itself and implied within it is the "future" of its antiderivative. If you have f'(x) = x, then you know the future of f(x)... it is x2 (+c, of course). But then, that function has to have a "next state", as well. So the most compact way to represent this is a pair of functions that are mutual derivatives. Say hello to cosh(x) and sinh(x), who happen to sum to the most remarkable function I believe in all mathematics... ex.
One caution on citing 0.5 as evidence of "5 in φ"... while 5 is present through the square-root of 5 and through the fivefold symmetry of the pentagon (which has phi built into its geometry), the 1/2 = 0.5 is purely happenstance based on the choice of a base-10 numeral system... in base-16, for example, 1/2 = 0.8
I wasn't aware of the beautiful relationship sinh(ln φ) = 1/2... that's amazing. There are also links between φ and pi (something that the Egyptologists always pooh-pooh in connection to the possibility that the pyramids encode both pi and phi):
Phi = 1 - 2*cos(3*pi/5) (there's that 5!)
Not to mention that the arctan function encodes the Fibonacci numbers (which, as you well know, converge to phi in the limit of their successive ratios), while arctan(1) can be used to construct the most beautiful definition of pi (the Leibniz formula):
arctan(1) = pi/4 = 1 - 1/3 + 1/5 - 1/7 + 1/9 ...
In my view, there must be a very fundamental connection between these objects that is obscured by our often klunky and obtuse mathematical methods.
One of the subjects I want to better understand is p-adic numbers. I'm pleased to find that Wildberger takes a favorable view of p-adic numbers, despite his (well-founded) rejection of the so-called real numbers, which are actually contradictory and irrational.
One of the connections that I suspect is that perhaps these beautiful expressions are actually conveying numerical relationships in a more fundamental numbering system than what we use today... something like p-adics. 3.14159... 2.7182818... 1.618... there is no connection in the numerical expressions themselves. But perhaps in a more basic, natural, fundamental numbering system these relationships would be nearly "geometrical"; visualizable in the numerical expressions themselves.
What originally motivated me to consider this is the use of two's complement arithmetic in computers. Anyone who's worked with two's complement for some time can attest that it is, in some deep sense, more "natural" than ordinary binary (which is the base-2 equivalent of decimal real numbers). You do not need two separate definitions of addition and subtraction... you only need to know how to negate a number and then add. Basically, it gives you "negative numbers without the need to use a minus-sign". Negativity is encoded right into the numbers themselves. The benefit is that this cuts the circuitry in half in an ALU (that's why it's used). If that's all it bought you, that wouldn't be reason enough. But it turns out that when you multiply and divide two's complement numbers, they retain their proper meanings.
But then, two's complement is really just a subset of 2-adic numbers. The 2-adic numbering system allows you to express not only positive and negative whole numbers without a minus sign, but arbitrary precision fractional numbers without a decimal point. Now, there is a "decimal point" (or binary point, to be pedantic) but it turns out that you can put 2-adic numbers in a "canonical form". Furthermore, the standard division algorithm requires a "guess and try again" approach to finding the answer. The 2-adic division algorithm is deterministic... first, you invert one operand, then you multiply (both operations are deterministic and require no "guessing").
But I want something more than this... I believe that the complex domain is, in some sense, the most natural mathematical object. So, what I would really like is a numbering system that allows you to not only add, subtract, multiply and divide in a natural manner (2-adic gives you this), but also allows you to take the square root of -1... then multiply that thing by itself and give... -1. All with exactly one multipliaction algorithm.
I believe that ex is somehow tied up in this, particularly as it decomposes into the sin() and cos() functions, and the sinh() and cosh() functions.
F0(x) = x0/0! + x4/4! + x8/8! ...
F1(x) = x1/1! + x5/5! + x9/9! ...
F2(x) = x2/2! + x6/6! + x10/10! ...
F3(x) = x3/3! + x7/7! + x11/11! ...
Euler's identity:
This makes me wonder if an entirely visual representation of mathematical language could be the answer.
entirely visual representation of mathematical language
I think this is essentially what classical geometry really is. However, quantization is undisputably useful. It's almost not an exaggeration to say that the modern era is little else but the expression of the power of quantization. Sadly, standard decimal arithmetic is fatally flawed.
Since I think that humans are designed to think fundamentally in terms of the visual/spacial mechanics of physical objects (and agency, but that's probably irrelevant to math), the ultimate in clear and concise mathematical representation - the clearest possible system resulting in the deepest understanding for humans - seems it would be one where everything was represented visually/mechanically, to whatever extent this may be possible.
So how do you denote the difference between a 30-60-90 and a 15-75-90 triangle? People can't be expected to eyeball the difference nor to apply calipers to a page in order to read it.
But in the spirit of your ideas...
As for quantities, yes, nothing can beat arabic numerals for that, so there's no reason to discard them in a visual system.
Someone in the comments said that visual proofs can never really be full proofs and that they can only sketch the way toward a proof, but the same is true of word proofs. ... most of the visual proofs on that page were more like sketches (the 2pi>6 proof is an exception).
Yeah, I hate that kind of pedantry - a proof is something that is sufficient to convince a human brain. You can reduce proofs to rigorous formal steps leading from axioms to propositional theorems but you don't have to.
Actually, I think some visual proofs are so compelling that they essentially convert what would be a "proof" if constructed with propositional deductions into a definition. A common visual proof of the Pythagorean theorem is what I have in mind:
Just stare at it for a few minutes and you'll convince yourself that not only is it correct and not only does it prove the Pythagorean theorem, but you can tell merely from visual inspection why it must prove the theorem.
Tooling around with sinh and cosh this afternoon:
ez = [ cosh(z) ] + [ sinh(z) ]
ez = [ F0(z) + F2(z) ] + [ F1(z) + F3(z) ]
Now, it turns out that:
e-z = [ cosh(z) ] - [ sinh(z) ]
Although a picture can deceive (like that one with colored triangles in the above link), physical objects cannot so easily.

Oh, but they can. Especially, soft objects, like sofas. I am willing to bet you could not tell if sofas had 89 degree angle or 90.

There is something incredibly compelling about Cantorian set theory. Modern set theory is a joke.

Hello there,
We planned our second trip to summit for this upcoming saturday but I'm getting conflicting weather reports. weather.com is showing rain snow wind but the mountwashington.org site is showing cloudy with showers. Would it be wise to reschedule our trip? Just trying to make a decision before the hotel cut off time.
Thanks for any advice.

The American people own 618 million acres, and there are many heated debates right now involving how to use those lands. Below are summaries of a few of those debates, followed by Wilderness Society staff members who can tell you more.
After months of planning and research, we at the Wilderness Society have recently taken a look at some key public lands in America and how they are being cared for.
Canyons of the Ancients National Monument — a treasure trove of Puebloan artifacts in Colorado, Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument — the last place mapped in the Lower 48 States, Las Cienegas National Conservation Area — where the history of ranching and protection of grassland bird species come together in Arizona. These are a small sample of the vast landscapes in the National Landscape Conservation System (Conservation Lands).
Eastern Utah's famed Desolation Canyon is well known as many things: rafter's playground, archeological treasure trove, icon of the Old West. Now this emphatically rugged stretch of the Green River adds conservation history to its lore.
On July 30, after years of negotiation, conservation groups, led by our partner the Southern Utah Wilderness Alliance, resolved a long-running struggle over natural gas drilling around Desolation Canyon, one of the wildest stretches of river land in the U.S. West.

Hey Everyone, My name is Kat Creasey, I own My Little Rockabilly which is a vintage furniture, accessories and homewares brand based in Brisbane. I spend my weekdays crafting and my weekends painting and exploring.

I am an avid vintage collector, kustom kulture enthusiast and i obsessed with anything Atomic, Space Age, Western, Rockabilly, Horror,Psychobilly, Pin Ups, Hot Rods,street machines, Tiki & Burlesque. I dont like the simple things in life..i like fun excitement and travels, experiencing new things and gaining opportunities to fulfill my love for this kulture in any way shape and form that i can.. I adore meeting people with similar interests and making new friends. Kat Fink
Abc Television 2010- The Collectors 20 year old Kat Creasey is less interested in collecting songs for her iPod, friends on Face Book or funky plastic jewellery than collecting retro culture. Things made when her parents or grandparents were young excite her much more than items made today. It's unusual but she's passionate and focused. She's a real Rockabilly Girl. To Kat it's a style that's classy and elegant and she loves everything about it. Kat has been making and selling jewellery since she was twelve years old. Her style originally was hippy and alternative, as most of her customers lived in Byron Bay. This changed to reproduction vintage-style pieces when she discovered Rockabilly culture at age fifteen. Hair flowers and fascinators are her specialty and she sells them at Rock'n Roll and Hot Rod festivals, such as Wintersun in Coolangatta. Hair ornaments and the 1940s jewellery that would look odd with modern clothes perfectly suit the vintage clothes that Kat has begun collecting. They must fit her style and figure though, not necessarily an easy thing to do, given the fact that women's figures have changed a bit since then. The beauty of finding vintage clothes is that they are "one-offs". Reproductions are often available, but Kat strives to get originals. The 1950s shoe clips which are relatively easy to obtain really dress up a rather ordinary shoe, and having several of them can make the same shoe look like many! Kat takes the whole rockabilly thing seriously and as a professional make-up artist and hair stylist, she can help take a person back to an era she and others find so exciting.

The walk kicked off at Friendship Plaza in downtown Cartersville at 10 a.m. with registration, music and volunteers from the AIDS Alliance distributing red T-shirts. A local gym owner led a warm-up before the walk began at 11 a.m. Participants dressed in red lined up, ready to "paint the town."
"Our walk is just a 2.1-mile walk around downtown Cartersville; we loop around some of the neighborhoods," said Lola Thomas, executive director for the AIDS Alliance. "We will be sporting our red T-shirts and carrying our big, red, balloon arch to be visible in the community so we can raise awareness about HIV and AIDS. Our goal is to raise money and to be visible in the community so that people know AIDS exists not only in big metropolitan areas but in rural areas like ours as well.
"[The AIDS Alliance] has been providing services related to HIV and AIDS since 1992 and our mission has always been to provide companionate services to all of our people who might live with HIV and AIDS and also to help prevent HIV and AIDS. Since there is no cure for HIV, prevention is everything."
Thomas ended the festivities by releasing white balloons to acknowledge and remember the loved ones lost to AIDS and HIV.
The walk raised $5,000 which the nonprofit will use to further its mission- to provide a broad, compassionate range of free services in response to the HIV epidemic including prevention-education, advocacy, and client-centered programs." These services include: transportation for clients, housing, food programs, emergency assistance, free HIV Rapid Testing, advocacy, spiritual opportunities, HIV prevention classes and referral resources. All services are confidential.
"We, like any other nonprofit, are dependent on the generosity of the community to help us keep our doors open," said Thomas. "With AIDS, there's still that stigma that exists that we battle constantly related to HIV and AIDS. So it's a little harder for us to raise money than maybe we wish it was. So the generosity of folks that are willing to come out and help us and donate and raise dollars [helps] us keep our doors open. We do write and apply to grants so we do get some grant money, especially related to housing. We still couldn't do it without donations from the communities.
"There are a lot of people that don't know there is an AIDS Alliance [in Cartersville]. So with [the AIDS Walk], by people going out and asking for donations and seeing other people they know participate, it makes them say to themselves, 'Oh, I didn't know there was an AIDS alliance here,' or 'I didn't know AIDS was an issue,' or 'I didn't know HIV was an issue." So it's all about that; it's all about increasing awareness.'"
One participant in Saturday's walk, Kristie Tillett, co-founder of LGBT Families of Cartersville, believes the AIDS Walk has helped spread the word that there is local support for the AIDS community, that it is not hopeless. Tillett encourages people to donate to the AIDS Alliance to keep the program alive.
"We always donate to the AIDS community, especially the AIDS Alliance here in Bartow County," said Tillett. "I was donating prior to knowing that they had residential areas set up to try to help those whose families have turned against them. Now, anytime we get anything at all that we think someone else could use, we donate to [AIDS Alliance]. We've learned that anytime you have something, like a shirt that you may not think is in style, they need that. Instead of throwing it away or giving it to Goodwill, because they turn around and sell it, give it to someone who's going to turn around and give it to someone else. It's important to feel like a person even though you've got that disease."
The AIDS Alliance of Northwest Georgia began as the Bartow AIDS Alliance in 1992. While the name of the nonprofit changed, the goal to educate and prevent has remained the same. The AIDS Alliance offers free HIV testing on Tuesdays or by appointment. According to the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services, 1 in 5 Americans living with HIV does not know it.

First Look Store Review: Chicago French Market
- Location: Chicago, IL
- Website: frenchmarketchicago.com
The long-awaited Chicago French Market opened its doors yesterday at the Ogilvie Transportation Center. We were there bright and early to check it out.
Earlier this week, we took a walk-through with market operator Sebastien Bensidoun, whose family owns more than 95 indoor and open-air markets in the U.S. and Europe. The Chicago French Market – also called the MetraMarket for its proximity to Metra commuter trains – is being billed as Chicago's first "year-round, European-inspired indoor market."
Bensidoun said vendors were selected very carefully to bring in as much quality, locally produced items as possible, as well as some imported goods. And despite a handful of vendors preparing food on site, he wanted to avoid a "food court" atmosphere.
When we returned Thursday morning for the grand opening, we were amazed to see how everything had come together in the last couple of days. The first thing that caught our eye was the abundance of produce at several stalls. In all, there are nearly 30 vendors offering a variety of meat and fish, cheese, produce, coffee, prepared food and specialty items.
Bensidoun said he hopes to get approval to offer outdoor sidewalk space on Saturdays during the summer.
Transportation: The market is accessible by CTA Green and Pink line trains, buses and Metra trains. If you drive, they are offering an hour of free parking with the purchase of at least $20 at the market (100 spaces available).
• 1 Produce Express offers a wide variety of items, some grown as close as Glenview, Ill., including not one, but three kinds of green beans.
• 2 A nice selection of mushrooms.
• 3 Wintery root vegetables.
• 4 The prices we noticed were pretty reasonable.
• 5 A pile of pomegranates.
• 6 Fresh Mandarin oranges. We bought a bag of them and ate nearly all of them immediately. Delicious!
• 7 Fresh fish from LaMaree Seafood.
• 8 Specialty oils: almond, hazelnut, walnut, grapeseed, etc.
• 9 The meat case at Pastoral Artisan Cheese, Bread & Wine.
• 10 Harvest screen print pillows, $40.
• 11 A tower of pannetone (makes excellent french toast).
• 12 The Wisconsin Cheese Mart – an entire stall dedicated to dairy creations from our neighbors to the north.
• 13 Intricate treats at Vanille Patisserie.
• 14 Fruit preserves at Chicago Organics. Who wouldn't love a taste of strawberry and basil this time of year?
• 15 More pastries to munch on as you browse the market.

I walked through the market this morning before work. I'm so excited that it's a real market with real food, rather than a mall-like assemblage of chain stores.
I would definitely buy groceries there before my train ride home, to save an extra trip to the store. The prices didn't seem to be any higher than Whole Foods (I'm using that a point of comparison, since most of the meat and produce was organic).
I'm very excited that I've I got such a great destination right off the pink line! Just a quick trip from 18th St. in Pilsen.
When I talk about great markets I think of community. I visited the market yesterday and have been reading all kinds of tidbits from different people in my community. After reading your post and others this morning, the idea of community, a bunch of different people interested in the same thing and who share similar ideals about food, is top of mind.
Nice, it's about time Chicago got a nice market going. Hope it successful and hopefully doesn't cater to just the privileged shopper.

About Face: Russian Rock Crystal Earrings
Rock crystal is one of those mysterious elements that has for centuries intrigued humankind. Whether realized as a crystal ball for gazing into the future or as an ornamental architectural accent, faceted rock crystal holds us in its power. Here the clear quartz has once again performed an about face with its shift from a former life trapped under a sleeve coat as a pair of cufflinks to freedom of expression as a drop earring with rose gold over silver setting (with modern 14k yellow gold ear wires added). Similar in visual size to an opulent 7 carat diamond in each ear.
Measurements: 3/4 of an inch (2 cm) in length including ear wire by 1/2 of an inch (1.2 cm) in diameter. Weight of 4.7 grams (3.0 dwt) for the pair.
Condition: Excellent for rock crystal; rose gold gilding is a bit worn in areas and is barely visible without magnification. Not at all noticeable when worn. Modern 14k yellow gold ear wires.
Date & Origin: Mid to later 20th century and is Russian in origin.

Mike Potter '07
Roy H. Park School of Communications | Television-Radio
An Ithaca College education has Mike Potter's career off to a fast start. Disrupto, a digital product development firm that Mike cofounded, has a client list that includes names like Samsung and the New York Knicks. In the world of digital communications, Disrupto is a rising star.
At IC, Mike was a triple major who interned with AOL and with Industrial Light and Magic, Star Wars creator George Lucas's visual effects studio. He once pitched a business plan to Disney CEO and Ithaca alumna Bob Iger over lunch.
As a Park scholar in Ithaca's Roy H. Park School of Communications, Mike helped launch Megaphone, a student project that provided communication support to nonprofits. He also won Ithaca's first CellFlix video contest—a competition that challenged students to create the best 30-second short film using a cell phone video camera—with his film Cheat.
It's that rich palette of opportunity at Ithaca, Mike reports, that's been the key to his success. "The biggest thing Ithaca did was expose me to different experiences. I got a great education in the broad range of things I needed to become an entrepreneur and start my own business. I'm totally living my career goals, and I'm incredibly happy doing it."

Italian national road champion Ivan Santaromita of the BMC Racing Team finished fourth Friday at the Vuelta a España as the remnants of an 18-man breakaway survived to the finish.
Nerz Fights Back
Santaromita said he missed his opportunity to go for the win when Warren Barguil (Team Argos-Shimano) attacked inside the final kilometer of the 169-km race that finished going uphill and held on to win by seven seconds. "There was a moment when some riders were looking at each other and he went," Santaromita said. "I will try again because I want to win a stage at this Vuelta with this Italian champion jersey." Dominik Nerz, the BMC Racing Team's best-placed rider in 17th overall, had to fight back after a crash only 12 km into the stage. "I was suffering so much on the climb, but came back with the second group," Nerz said. "I'm really happy that I finished in the first group without losing time. I hope for a better day tomorrow." Vincenzo Nibali (Astana Pro Team) kept the overall lead as the top of the standings remained unchanged.
Lander Withdraws
The BMC Racing Team lost its second rider in as many days when Sebastian Lander did not start. The past Danish road champion was suffering from a respiratory tract infection, BMC Racing Team Doctor Roger Palfreeman said. "Being a young rider, we felt it was better to pull him out now before he was completely worn down," Palfreeman said. Lander said he enjoyed what he could of his first Vuelta start. "I was so happy before this race and felt my condition and my weight was very good," he said. "I think I did a good job for the team and supported them for almost the first two weeks. So I'm a little upset I couldn't complete it. But there's nothing I can do about it."
Listen to complete comments from Lander, Nerz and Santaromita on the BMC Racing Team's Vuelta a España Audio Line.

Wilfried Bony got Swansea City on the scoreboard first by converting a penalty near the game's half hour mark, but Stoke City would eventually score twice unanswered to come from behind and win 2-1.
Queens Park Rangers suffered a cruel defeat to the hands of Liverpool as two own goals would make the difference in a 2-3 loss to the Reds.
Liverpool were lucky to defeat Queens Park Rangers 2-3, as the hosts gifted the vistors two own goals, but the third Reds strike was a 90th minute beauty by Philippe Coutinho.

"Hey Karl, come take a look at this." I'm in the office we share with Habitat for Humanity. Eric, or Program Manager, had made me stick around for his meeting there as the rest of the team went home, probably because I had to go back to the house earlier to get some equipment. Now he's interrupting my work and beckoning me outside. Now what, I mumble. Eric's been making me do stuff ever since I arrived in Haiti. "Walk here." "Eat this." "Document that site." He's an earful.

On the 5th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) is hosting a design competition in New Orleans. The focus of the competition is helping the local community rebuild after the storm. Students and young professionals will be able to showcase their most innovative and sustainable design concepts to a select panel of jurors.
The Natural Talent Design Competition, now in its eighth year, is in collaboration with Salvation Army's EnviRenew Initiative. The competition will challenge entrants to design an affordable 800 foot LEED for Homes structure for an elderly resident in the Broadmoor neighborhood. Winners will be announced at the Greenbuild International Conference and Expo in Chicago in mid-November and they will actually see their designs built.

Several members of the Haiti team revisited Good Shepherd, a small community school near Cité Soleil, on Monday to present schematic designs and charrette with several teachers, the school director and members of the Child Sponsorship Program.
The Team presented preliminary designs for review. The school is rather large, 1100 students, and requires the construction of 20 classrooms. The design proposes a permanent school to be phased in room by room while children are attending class throughout the next school year. Presently classes are being held in the church and under a series of tents.

Michelle Kaufmann visited Architecture for Humanity headquarters for our weekly Lunch and Learn session to talk about sustainable design. Her firm, Michelle Kaufmann Studio, works to make thoughtful, sustainable design more accessible. She said the average San Francisco home emits 8,000 lbs. of waste. One way to reduce waste by as much as 50 to 75 percent is to utilize modular construction, she said. A modular home is created in the factory but built to suit a specific site. You can check out a video of a modular home (designed by Michelle Kaufmann's firm) being set up here: http://michellekaufmann.com/2010/03/smart-home-a-home-in-90-seconds/.

Alex Duquelia looked aroud the classroom we were all sitting in and said "you see this construction is no good." He pointed at the walls that were built just three months ago "these are three feet too low" (they were 8' high) and up at the exposed roof truss "this does not support the ventilation we need to FEEL" and at the wide window opening he was facing, behind the rest of us "and this, the most senseless mistake: I stand here, see that and cannot see the faces of my students." Haiti may have started rebuilding, but a poorly designed school is almost reduced to impotence. Thankfully this was only a "transitional" school, in the sense of being a placeholder for a more ambitious campus plan–more specifically the campus of the Université Quisqueya ("UniQ"), where members of Architecture for Humanity were visiting architecture department students and staff. Alex headed the architecture department and was kind enough to receive us. The word on his lips: "patrimoine."

Help Architecture for Humanity reach our $68,000 goal to complete construction of SIDAREC, a youth technology and resource center in the Mukuru slum settlement of Nairobi. Phase 1 of construction has been completed and Phase 2 is underway. The finishing funds will open the building before the year's end.
The center will give residents Internet access, computer and technology training, health clinic services, early childhood development programs, and a community theater. A radio station and recording studio will top out the construction project, beaming SIDAREC's radio station 99.9 Ghetto FM to more than 650,000 local residents and countless listeners around the world.

Yesterday was the six month anniversary of the earthquake in Haiti. It also marks the start of my first visit there. Over the next few weeks I'll be going around with out team in Port-au-Prince and seeing first-hand our rebuilding efforts.
I was picked up at the PaP airport by Lyndia and two of our volunteers. From there we were crossing town to visit Quisqueya University and talk with architecture students and faculty. I rode shotgun as our cruiser rallied through the city streets, and it was simply overwhelming, the colors, the life pushing right into the streets. An endless series of roadside vendors selling everything from sunglasses to lollipops and roasted chickens. People were dragging 12-foot lenghts of rebar down the street. Doubled-up motorcycles zoomed around colorful tap-taps (shuttle trucks) and the occasional UN caravan. The heat and humidy was impressive, but as we drove around, and especially as we climbed into the hills, breezes picked up and the temps cooled.

It seems a lifetime since we were hard at work rebuilding on the Gulf Coast, One of the worst affected towns was Bay St. Louis. Blogs and newspapers claimed it had been "wiped off the map." It wasn't, of course.
My first trip down I spent an unforgettable night with Ellis Anderson, who had opened her home to anyone who was willing to help. The home was hard to find. Debris blocked the road. Inside, though, there was good people, good food and good music. It was a place totally alive.

All three volunteers had traveled to Ferguson together from Detroit, Mich. as part of a delegation organized by former Black Panther, Blair Anderson.

Rowan man dubbed 'Godfather of Drugs' in custody for weapons violations
A Rowan County man dubbed the "Godfather of Drugs" is back in state custody today, authorities say, after he was charged with two firearms violations while on federal supervised release. Clarence William "Will" West, 44, of Salisbury, was charged Wednesday after multiple law enforcement agencies served a state search warrant on a Scott Road home.
The Rowan County Sheriff's Office Special Response Team (SRT) and the Special Investigation Unit (SIU), along with the Drug Enforcement Administration, North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation, Lexington Police Department and the Davie County Sheriff's Office jointly served the warrant.
The U.S. Middle District Court indicted West for violating the terms of his parole and issued the arrest warrant in late June. The indictment said West had a Ruger 9 mm handgun on two separate occasions.
West has an extensive criminal history, including a federal drug conspiracy conviction in the Western District of North Carolina, as well as assault with a deadly weapon inflicting serious injury. West was transported to Greensboro for an initial appearance.
West was charged with selling nearly 5 kilos (11 pounds) of crack cocaine, worth at the time an estimated $1 million, in early 1996. West was regarded at that time as one of the "top crack dealers" in the city, according to a 1996 Post article.
In the late '90s, West and his brother, Anthony West, left town for New York. Anthony West was shot and killed in an armed robbery and Clarence West was able to elude law enforcement for nearly a year before being arrested. West is in custody of U.S. Marshals and is expected to be arraigned July 16 in Greensboro.

Responding to community requests in prior years, EPA investigated alleged drilling and fracking-related oil and gas pollution of drinking water supplies in each of the three communities. In each case, EPA's preliminary results indicated oil and gas development was the cause of the drinking water pollution. In each case, EPA withdrew before finalizing the results of the investigations.
"Dimock, PA, Pavillion, WY and Parker County, TX were grateful when the EPA stepped in to help deal with their water contamination issues, and disheartened when the EPA stopped their investigations, leaving them with polluted water and little explanation," wrote the Representatives to Administrator McCarthy. They continued, "We are writing to urge you to take any and all steps within your power to help these communities."
Emerging data show that the EPA was misguided in closing its investigations. In the case of Parker County, Texas, for instance, independent water testing from Duke University reveals that residents' drinking water was still contaminated when EPA determined it was safe due to relying on faulty gas industry testing.
EPA's investigations into fracking-related threats to drinking water are especially important as the Obama administration advocates for increased natural gas exports as a counterweight to Russia's influence in Eastern Europe. Because more than 90 percent of all gas wells are fracked, increased exports mean increased fracking.
"Europeans aren't fracking their own countries' shale gas because they are worried about its environmental and health impacts," said Ray Kemble, an affected resident of Dimock, PA. He continued, "They're right to worry. I haven't had clean water for four years, and its due to oil and gas drilling."
President Obama's argument for increased unconventional oil and gas production has changed as times have changed.
"President Obama's arguments for fracking change with the wind," said Kemble. He continued, "Need a bridge fuel to a clean energy future? Fracking! Want energy independence? Fracking! Weaken Putin? Fracking! All the while his administration avoids clear evidence that fracking-related oil and gas development is poisoning Americans. Hopefully this letter will shake some sense into them."

Neither a circus nor a variety theatre in the classic sense of the words – the Fliegende Bauten in Hamburg's hip St. Pauli district is something else altogether: unique, avant-garde, with each production offering new excitement. This is a venue which seeks to reinvent the genre every evening according to the ideas of contemporary circus – whilst offering audiences of up to 600 people a fantastic night's entertainment inside its huge, four-masted big top.
The Fliegende Bauten, a large, circus-style show tent pitched opposite the Heiligengeistfeld funfair site, has been enriching Hamburg's cultural scene for more than twelve years now. Boasting an unbeatable big top atmosphere, the venue welcomes cabaret artists, acrobats, dancers, musicians and comedians from all around the world. It has also hosted concerts by international stars such as the Red Hot Chili Peppers and Vaya con Dios. Excellent wining and dining turn the evening into a real treat, with audiences enjoying a range of seasonal dishes and creations that are specially tailored to the entertainment on offer. As well as a charming beer garden set in a small park, there is also a bar – the perfect place to finish a great night out with a glass or two of fizz. Facilities such as these also make the Fliegende Bauten a great location for all sorts of special events including corporate parties, anniversaries, weddings, award ceremonies, presentations or exclusive gala evenings.
