Personality Disorders
- Author: David Bienenfeld, MD; Chief Editor: Iqbal Ahmed, MBBS, FRCPsych(UK) more...
A personality disorder, as defined in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of the American Psychiatric Association, Fifth Edition (DSM-5) is an enduring pattern of inner experience and behavior that differs markedly from the expectations of the individual's culture, is pervasive and inflexible, has an onset in adolescence or early adulthood, is stable over time, and leads to distress or impairment. (See Prognosis and Presentation.)
Although the most common etiologies for personality disorders are multifactorial, these conditions may also be secondary to biologic, developmental, or genetic abnormalities. Stressful situations may often result in decompensation, revealing a previously unrecognized personality disorder. Indeed, personality disorders are aggravated by stressors, external or self-induced. Individuals may have more than 1 personality disorder. (See Pathophysiology and Etiology.)
Ten personality disorders, grouped into 3 clusters (ie, A, B, C), are defined in the DSM-5.[1] Cluster A disorders include the following (see Prognosis and Treatment):
Paranoid personality disorder
Schizoid personality disorder
Schizotypal personality disorder
Cluster B disorders include the following:
Antisocial personality disorder
Histrionic personality disorder
Cluster C disorders include the following:
Dependent personality disorder
A concept has emerged that personality may be expressed in terms of the following 5 basic dimensions:[2]
Openness to experience
This model is termed the 5-factor model, and it has developed a significant amount of acceptance among personality psychologists.
The model has been used to describe the different accepted types of personality disorders. Most current research suggests that personality disorders may be differentiated by their interactions among the 5 dimensions rather than differences on any single dimension.
In patients with personality disorder, abnormalities may be seen in the frontal, temporal, and parietal lobes. These abnormalities may be caused by perinatal injury, encephalitis, trauma, or genetics. Personality disorders are also seen with diminished monoamine oxidase (MAO) and serotonin levels. However, the relationships of anatomy, receptors, and neurotransmitters to personality disorders are purely speculative at this point.
Frequently, a history of psychiatric disorders is present. In some cases, the patient has developmental abnormalities secondary to abuse or incest.
The origin of personality disorders is a matter of considerable controversy. Traditional thinking holds that these maladaptive patterns are the result of dysfunctional early environments that prevent the evolution of adaptive patterns of perception, response, and defense. A body of data points toward genetic and psychobiologic contributions to the symptomology of these disorders; however, the inconsistency of the data prevents authorities from drawing definite conclusions.[5]
Paranoid personality disorder
A genetic contribution to paranoid traits and a possible genetic link between this personality disorder and schizophrenia exist. Psychosocial theories implicate projection of negative internal feelings and parental modeling.
Schizoid personality disorder
Support for the heritability of this disorder exists.
Schizotypal personality disorder
This disorder is genetically linked with schizophrenia. Evidence for dysregulation of dopaminergic pathways in these patients exists.
Antisocial personality disorder
A genetic contribution to antisocial behaviors is strongly supported. Low levels of behavioral inhibition may be mediated by serotonergic dysregulation in the septohippocampal system. There may also be developmental or acquired abnormalities in the prefrontal brain systems and reduced autonomic activity in antisocial personality disorder. This may underlie the low arousal, poor fear conditioning, and decision-making deficits described in antisocial personality disorder.[6]
Borderline personality disorder
Psychosocial formulations point to the high prevalence of early abuse (sexual, physical, and emotional) in these patients, and the borderline syndrome is often formulated as a variant of posttraumatic stress disorder. Mood disorders in first-degree relatives are strongly linked.
Biologic factors, such as abnormal monoaminergic functioning (especially in serotonergic function) and prefrontal neuropsychological dysfunction, have been implicated but have not been well established by research.[7, 8]
Histrionic personality disorder
Little research has been conducted to determine the biologic sources of this disorder. Psychoanalytic theories incriminate seductive and authoritarian attitudes by fathers of these patients.
Narcissistic personality disorder
No data on biologic features of this disorder are available. In the classic model, narcissism functions as a defense against awareness of low self-esteem. More modern psychodynamic models postulate that this disorder can arise from an imbalance between positive mirroring of the developing child and the presence of an adult figure who can be idealized.
Avoidant personality disorder
This personality disorder appears to be an expression of extreme traits of introversion and neuroticism. No data on biologic causes are available, although a diagnostic overlap with social phobia probably exists.
Dependent personality disorder
No studies of genetics or of biologic traits of these patients have been conducted. Central to their psychodynamic constellation is an insecure form of attachment to others, which may be the result of clinging parental behavior.
Obsessive-compulsive personality disorder
Modest evidence points toward the heritability of this disorder. Psychodynamically, these patients are viewed as needing control as a defense against shame or powerlessness.
Occurrence in the United States
Personality disorders affect 10-15% of the adult US population. The following are prevalences for specific personality disorders in the general population, across five studies from 2001 to 2010:[9]
Paranoid personality disorder - 0.7-2.4%
Schizotypal personality disorder - 0.6-4.9%
Antisocial personality disorder - 0.7-4.1%
Borderline personality disorder - 0.7-2.7%
Histrionic personality disorder - 0.2-2.0%
Narcissistic personality disorder - Less than 1%
Avoidant personality disorder - 0.8-5.2%
Obsessive-compulsive personality disorder - 0.9-2.4%
Variance in prevalence rates across studies mostly reflects different thresholds of severity adopted by investigators.
International occurrence
Because the DSM-5 criteria are heavily bound to North American cultural definitions, epidemiologic data about personality disorders in other countries are notoriously unreliable.
Sex-related demographics
As previously mentioned, personality disorders, grouped into 3 clusters (ie, A, B, C), as defined in the DSM-5.[1] Sex-related demographics for disorders within these clusters include the following:
Cluster A - Schizoid personality disorder is slightly more common in males than in females
Cluster B - Antisocial personality disorder is 3 times more prevalent in men than in women; borderline personality disorder is 3 times more common in women than in men; of patients with narcissistic personality disorder, 50-75% are male
Cluster C - Obsessive-compulsive personality disorder is diagnosed twice as often in men as in women
Age-related differences in incidence
Personality disorders generally should not be diagnosed in children and adolescents because personality development is not complete and symptomatic traits may not persist into adulthood. Therefore, the rule of thumb is that personality diagnosis cannot be made until the person is at least 18 years of age. Because the criteria for diagnosis of personality disorders are closely related to behaviors of young and middle adulthood, DSM-5 diagnoses of personality disorders are notoriously unreliable in the elderly population.
Personality disorders are lifelong conditions, although attributes of cluster A and B disorders tend to become less severe and intense in middle age and late life. Individuals with a personality disorder are at risk for the following:
Suicide [10]
Substance abuse
Accidental injury
Homicide - A potential complication, particularly in paranoid and antisocial personality disorders
Patients with a cluster B personality disorder are particularly susceptible to problems of substance abuse, impulse control, and suicidal behavior, which may shorten their lives. Cluster C characteristics tend to become exaggerated in later life
Morbidity and mortality
In patients with a personality disorder, risk of death is usually related to conditions or behaviors resulting from the disorder. Consequently, death may result from suicide, substance abuse, trauma from motor vehicle accidents, or injuries from fighting.
Patients with personality disorders are at higher risk than the general population for many (axis I) psychiatric disorders. Mood disorders are a particular risk across all personality diagnoses. Some comorbidities are more specific to particular personality disorders and clusters.
Cluster A
Cluster A disorders and their morbidities include the following:
Paranoid personality disorder - May appear as a prodrome to delusional disorder or frank schizophrenia; these individuals are at risk for agoraphobia, major depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and substance abuse
Schizoid personality disorder - Patients may develop major depression
Schizotypal personality disorder - Patients may develop brief psychotic disorder, schizophreniform disorder, or delusional disorder; at the time of diagnosis, 30-50% of patients have concurrent major depression, and most have a history of at least 1 major depressive episode
Cluster B
Cluster B disorders and their morbidities include the following:
Antisocial personality disorder - Associated with a risk for anxiety disorders, substance abuse, somatization disorder, and pathologic gambling
Borderline personality disorder - Associated with a risk for substance abuse, eating disorders (particularly bulimia), and posttraumatic stress disorder; suicide is a particular risk in borderline patients
Histrionic personality disorder - Associated particularly with somatoform disorders
Narcissistic personality disorder - Patients are at risk for anorexia nervosa and substance abuse, as well as depression
Cluster C
Cluster C disorders and their morbidities include the following:
Avoidant personality disorder - Associated with anxiety disorders (especially social phobia)
Dependent personality disorder - Carries a risk for anxiety disorders and adjustment disorder
Obsessive-compulsive personality disorder - Patients may be at risk for myocardial infarction, because of their common type A lifestyles; they may also be at risk for anxiety disorders; notably, they are probably not at increased risk for obsessive-compulsive disorder
Patient Education
Patients should be advised that their patterns of perception and response result from some combination of inheritance and personal history and that recovery is therefore likely to be a prolonged process, requiring effort and attention. The relevance of ongoing psychotherapy to long-standing vulnerabilities requires frequent reemphasis by the physician.
Alcoholism and drug abuse are not merely complications of personality disorders, they are also aggravating factors. Patients need constant reminding that yielding to the temptation to drink or use drugs is likely to make their emotional distress worse and is certain to increase the risk of complications, including suicide.
With the patient's permission, education can be provided to the family to alert them to the possibilities of disruptive and destructive behavior and can provide guidelines for limit setting and safety.
Family support groups exist in some communities, and family support resources, such as Borderline Personality Disorder Family Groups and Stigma, are available online.
The National Institute of Mental Health provides a fact sheet on borderline personality disorder that may be of use to families of persons with that condition.
A resource for patients and families dealing specifically with borderline personality disorder is the National Educational Alliance for Borderline Personality Disorder.

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — Tom Coughlin didn't fade away in his goodbye to the New York Giants.
The 69-year-old, who led the Giants to two Super Bowls in a 12-year tenure, was Tom Coughlin to the end.
In an emotional and poignant farewell Tuesday, Coughlin talked about things that mattered to him: Values, relationships, character, loyalty, team, family and love.
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — Tom Coughlin is going to approach what might be his final week as New York Giants coach just as he has went into every other game week since taking over the team in 2004 and leading it to two Super Bowls.
This week is about winning, knocking off the Philadelphia Eagles in the regular-season finale and ending on a high note.
Coughlin insists this week is not about either him or his future as coach. He is upset his players have been put in a position where they are being asked about letting down their 69-year-old leader.
NEWARK, N.J. — Defensive end Jason Pierre-Paul and the New York Giants have agreed to a contract more than three months after he damaged his right hand in a fireworks accident in Florida.
The team announced the deal late Tuesday.
Pierre-Paul met with the team over the past two days and was given the OK to play by team doctors. Negotiations on a new contract followed since the Giants were not willing to have him sign the franchise tender that was offered before the July 4 accident.
PISCATAWAY, N.J. — For a couple of hours, Kyle Flood and Rutgers were able to get away from the distractions of an academic investigation involving the coach and the dismissal of five arrested players by playing a football game, and playing it well.
Leonte Carroo caught three third-quarter touchdown passes after sitting out a first-half suspension and set a school record as Rutgers blocked out the cloud that has descended on the football program with a 63-13 win over Norfolk State on Saturday.
NEW YORK — The New York Rangers are giving former Los Angeles Kings center Jarret Stoll a second chance a few months after he pleaded guilty to reduced charges in a cocaine case.
The Rangers on Monday signed Stoll to a one-year, $800,000 contract in a deal that gives the NHL's best team in the regular season in 2014 a center who is outstanding on faceoffs, good on the penalty kill and a veteran who knows what it takes to win the Stanley Cup.
The negative is obviously Stoll's recent problems off the ice.
OCEANPORT, N.J. — American Pharoah is headed to the Jersey Shore.
As expected, racing's first Triple Crown winner in 37 years will make his next start in the $1 million Haskell Invitational on Aug. 2 at Monmouth Park.
Owner Ahmed Zayat said on Thursday the decision to run in the 1 1/8-mile Haskell was based on several factors, the most important being the health of his horse — the first to sweep the Kentucky Derby, Preakness and Belmont Stakes since Affirmed in 1978.
GREENBURGH, N.Y. — It's one game for a trip to the Stanley Cup finals and the chance to play for hockey's biggest prize.
That's what Tampa Bay Lightning and New York Rangers face tonight at Madison Square Garden in Game 7 of the Eastern Conference finals.
Picking a winner at this point is pure speculation. Every game has been different and each team has its advantages.
NEW YORK — Six games into the Eastern Conference finals, the New York Rangers and Tampa Bay Lightning have taught hockey fans to expect the unexpected.
Two of the league's best offensive teams, they've played tight defensive games, had blowouts and even a shootout. They have looked good at times, bad at others. They have shown skill and made ugly mistakes.
It's been an outstanding series that is coming down to a winner-take-all contest Friday night at Madison Square, where the Presidents' Trophy winning Rangers have won seven consecutive Game 7s dating to 1992.
NEW YORK — Steven Stamkos set up Valtteri Filppula's go-ahead goal and scored another and the Tampa Bay Lightning pushed the New York Rangers to the brink of playoff elimination with 2-0 victory Sunday night in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference finals.
Ben Bishop, who gave up 10 goals in the previous two games, had 26 saves in posting his second shutout and getting Tampa Bay within a victory of reaching the Stanley Cup finals for the second time in franchise history. They won the Cup in 2004.
NEW YORK — Take the spotlight off goaltender Henrik Lundqvist of the New York Rangers in the Eastern Conference finals and put it on Ben Bishop of the Tampa Bay Lightning.
If it sounds fickle, that's the way it's been for the goaltenders in this series between two of the NHL's top-scoring teams.
Game 1 was tight checking. Two was a Lightning blowout. Three was a shootout and the last one Lundqvist stole for the Rangers with a 38-save performance in a 5-1 win that evened the series at 2-all.
NEW YORK — The New York Rangers aren't the same team the Tampa Bay Lightning dominated in the regular season.
Not even close, and Game 1 of the Eastern Conference finals showed that.
Dominic Moore scored with 2:25 to play, the defense limited the Lightning's high-powered offense and the Rangers defeated goaltender Ben Bishop and the Lightning 2-1 Saturday to move within three wins of returning to the Stanley Cup finals.

Lets look at one scientist who worked with the NAZI FOO FIGHTER PROGRAM,V1,2 ROCKER PROGRAM and ME163-262 PROGRAM
Werner Von Braun
Does this name sound obvious?
Werner Von Braun was the person who knew lots of things that the Nazis were up to in there Anti Gravitational program and later on,he worked in NASA,does it sound obvious that jet propulsion,rockets and etc came from the Nazis,
Actually you are really displaying your lack of knowledge
here. It was an Englishman, Frank Whittle, who created the
first jet engine in 1937. Hans von Ohain is the man who
came up with a design in Germany a few months later. He
had nothing to do with Von Braun. And Von Braun had nothing
to do with the German jet fighters. Find out who a guy named
Anselm Franz was.
British jet engines were far more reliable than their German
counterparts. They had jets during WW2 as well, or don't
you know about the Gloster Meteor? Also, please learn who
Robert Goddard was as well as an extraordinary Russian named
Konstantin Tsiolkovsky.
Honestly, some of you guys make such declarative statements
and wax knowledgeable on this you don't have a clue about.
It's why I enjoy GLP so much.
Please proceed to explain how much more silly you are.

Historical Traveler Reviews El Tropicano Riverwalk Hotel San Antonio
Still has a lot of problems
We had stayed at the El Tropicano when they where part of the Clarion hotels and it was terrible. They went through some major remodeling and are now part of Holiday Inns.
The lobby and meeting rooms look fantastic. Our problem was that the rooms were average at best and the overall cleanliness was not good.
Other problems was that computers in business center were slow and had porn links.
The hotel use to be a 2 Star and maybe has moved its way up to a 2 1/2 star.
Better than last year, but hopefully getting better
I stayed at the El Tropicano with group of 6 people, all attending an on-site conference. We came back to this hotel because of a special offer given as an apology for last year (extensive renovations disrupted the whole conference last year). First, they overlapped their bookings and we didn't get into our conference rooms on time, and at least half of the attendees (500-700 altogether) had to wait 5 or more hours to get into their private rooms. The front desk was nice, but not too helpful. When asked for directions, they gave minimal effort to help you understand where you were going and how to get back.
The lobby was nice and spacious, with a yummy coffee bar and the Tiki Bar. There is also an on-site restaurant that I did not try. The rooms were ok- tv's worked half the time, and the wifi was incompatible with two of our three computers. The decor was strange, but livable. Everything was visbly clean, but smelled damp. The grounds were gorgeous, and it was within medium walking distance of all the excitement downtown. It is located at the very end of the Riverwalk, which was nice.
Very Disappointing
Room was not as described or promised.
Night receptionists (front desk) were unwilling to help. They acted annoyed every time we asked. Hotel was under renovation and we were not informed prior to our reservation.
Great Stay, and alot of fun
Great staff, made us feel really welcome. We liked the openess of the
loby, restrant and bar. The movie screen, and movies at night by the pool was really fun. The rooms were clean and newly remodled. We also
enjoyed the breakfast bar. We also enjoyed the band at the bar at night.
Great stay at the El Tropicano Hotel Riverwalk
Recently stayed at the El Tropicano for the first time and we will defintly be repeat customers, as San Antonio is one of our favorite playgrounds. The hotel atmosphere,service, and staff were excellent, best we've experienced downtown. (We travel to SA 3 to 4 times a year and have done so for the past 6 years staying at a variety of hotels close to or on the river walk.) Only minutes from the riverwalk or other downtown attractions, great rooms and facilities, the service, and the upbeat atmosphere made our stay very enjoyable.
Trust the reviews - they are accurate!!!!!
This hotel is undergoing some renovations. I had read the reviews prior to my vist - some good some bad which made me very reluctant about staying here. As we pulled up to the Hotel, I was even more reluctant as some of the viewers state many of the windows were opened and it resembled a depreciated apartment complex in a bad neighborhood. (*Note: it does cost to park which is $10 per day - and this area does have very high hotel taxes/county tax fees). The lobby, exercise room and pool area are nice. However when going up to the rooms, as per the reviews, only one elevator was working. At one point they both had broken down. The rooms are very small (compared to the costly price per night). The bathrooms are unbelievable small and there is no counter space to place your personal items. The tub was dirty looking and it appeared as though the stains were not removable. Cleaning it didn't look as if it would have helped. The remodeling done in the bathroom was nice, however cheap looking. I've stayed at many Holiday Inn's and was very disappointed on the work they have done with this one. The cleaning service was good. Linen always looked clean and bathroom looked and smelled nice after she left (however still not the tub) This hotel definetely shouldn't cost over $75 per night. This hotel is shouldn't be classfied more than a 1 1/2 to 2 -Star Hotel. There was a lot of unfinished painting needing to be completed. We went to look at the pool area, it was nice, however the view was horrible - again there was the opened windows and tied up curtains whereas you can see in the rooms. On the otherhand the other rooms were uncompleted and you could see that. It looked horrible. There was also some hammering, drilling and pounding. It really isn't situated on the river walk, it will take you about 15 minutes to get to the main area. We did have "new" linens, however the funiture still appeared old and worn. The beds were comfortable and I guess overall, that is what mostly mattered since we weren't in the room much. The hotel staff seemed nice enogh as well. I guess the price of the hotel is what I am truly concerned about compared to what you get for the money. If I had to pay over $75 - $85 per night, I wouldn't reserve this room - go to the other nice ones in the area and pay a few dollars more for true quality.
Disgrace to the Holiday Inn name
This hotel is under going some major, major, major renovations and is listed as completed by Jan. 2007 which is not correct. The lobby, exercise room and pool area are the only things nice about this hotel. The rooms are small and musty smelling with small bathrooms and not clean either. We did have "new" linens but that is the only thing new in the rooms. This hotel is meant for the budget traveler that wants something better than a tent. The reason the windows are open in all of the rooms is due to the horrible smell and it is not paint as I know what fresh paint smells like. Halls were dirty and the elevator was slow and only one worked the entire week we were at the hotel. We complained to the front desk but that was a waste of our time to be perfectly honest. We were awakened before 7:00 am to hammering, drilling and pounding, this is not my idea of a 2 or 3 star hotel and I was shocked that Holiday Inn would permit this to happen to their guests. From now on I will take reviews to heart and not the name of the hotel.
Fine for the price
We just returned from a stay at the El Tropicano. We traveled with a group of high school students and found the hotel to be a pleasant enough experience -- particularly for the price we paid. The rooms seem a bit small, and the bathroom had very little space to place toiletries, etc. We did have new carpet, the bedding was new as were towels and when we called to ask for a hair dryer (it should have been in the room), one arrived in minutes. Our room was very clean. Only problem was a "tricky" toilet --had to hold the handle a certain way to get it to flush. Staff worked with our group to place the boys on one floor, girls on another, and to keep our group in close proximity to one another.
The staff was friendly, we enjoyed a good breakfast for a reasonable price, and enjoyed the spacious lobby. While the hotel isn't fancy, it is convenient to the Riverwalk, and is a reasonably priced alternative to far more expensive lodging in the Riverwalk area. While I might pick something more upscale for a weekend getaway for two, it is a good choice for a family group, reunion, student group, etc. I didn't expect luxury, and frankly was pleasantly surprised by the comfy duvets and beds.
Newly renovated rooms? Says who?
I booked this hotel thru my priority club membership. The cost per night was $159.00 (VERY OVER PRICED). As soon as we checked in and pulled around to the parking area I knew that it was not going to be good. I noticed that there were several rooms that had windows opened and the curtains were tied. I was thinking either the air was not working or something else must be going on. We got on the elevator, which was in the back of the hotel and went up to our room. Everything looked pretty good until we stepped off the elevator. There was a very strong smell of paint. They were apparently renovating, which we were not told about! As we walked down the hall we noticed that some doors had a piece of tape and some didn't. We got to our room and I was kind of scared to open the door. We got in the room and kind of checked things out. The room had a balcany that somewhat looked over the pool, it was in a corner. It had a bar at the bottom that you had to remove to open up. We stepped out and were thinking... ok...maybe this is ok. I looked to the left and noticed that we shared the balcony with another room. There were 2 chairs on the balcany. So we came back in and decided to call it a night. It was 11:00pm. Went in to wash up and the bathroom was filthy. There was dust on the sink and on the floor. I am guessing that this is from the renovation and it did not get cleaned up. We laid down and the people that were in the room next to us came in. You could hear every word they said. Then they came out onto the balcany to drink and talk. The chairs were sitting on our side! So we called down and asked if we could be moved. We were moved to the 6th floor. The room was just like the one we had come from. Dirty. The paint smell was worst. We went to sleep and woke up to hammering at 7:30 AM.
I personally don't like to stay at hotels if they are renovating. Maybe that is something I should have asked before booking this hotel. The room cost $179.00 with the breakfast valchure or $159.00 with out it. I paid $159.00. When it was check out time the total for my stay was $199.00!!!!! That is $40.00 of added taxes! State tax, County tax, Sales tax. This hotel would be ok if you are going to San Antonio for night life and partying, but if you are going for a nice evening and enjoy a nice luxury hotel....it is not going to happen at this place.
Great Hotel..!!
I stay two nights at the hotel... the accommodation was great ... this hotel has been renewed the lobby is great...my room was nice and clean...!! is very close to river walk like 10 min. walking ....is a nice place to stay..!! ahhh the people at the counter is nice... and the parking was free with a lot of space..!!
TripAdvisor Reviews El Tropicano Riverwalk Hotel San Antonio
Travel Blogs from San Antonio
Shopping ... unsuccessfully
Our only activity today was an attempt to get the suitcases fuller before we head home in three weeks. We went to many stores over 6 hours and didn't get much at all, despite trying on lots of clothes. The day was pretty warm but it got overcast so the day was comfortable despite being in the late 80s. For lunch we had Taco Bell and for dinner we had ...
Underground caves and snake farm
... In the first caves there were no formations on the ceiling because the bats had left oils and dirt. The caves were awesome. Highlight of the second caves was when they turned out the lights for one minute and we were in total darkness. It was really cool being so dark that you couldn't see even your hand in front of your face. The 'fried egg' formations were cool and there was a lost bat in the first ...
Hot Sauce Challenge
... and it burns..but it has good flavor :) .. So after seeing this, Eboney decided she would just try it on a toothpick..well she had a similar reaction..sweating, burning, etc..so after that she decided not to do the challenge, but I applaud her for even trying it on a toothpick. Then from the corner, Darrean is also thinking about it now..he likes hot stuff..so after a few minutes of thinking about it he decides to do it..the guy looks at him and said are you ...
No, buddy, YOU remember the Alamo
... no luck. Asking at the tourist info, I was told there was one somewhere farther north, but she wasn't sure exactly. We walked a long way, all the way past another freeway, and asked each of the few people who were walking there, but no luck again. Lots of empty buildings and empty lots along the way, although we stuck to the main street and were only a few minutes walk from the Riverwalk.
So we hit the trail smelly.
2010, What am I going to do next!
... I plan to replace the metal fillings in all of my remaining teeth.
My current dentist seems to be willing to get me all the way through the bone replacement surgery. Beyond that, I will require another dentist in a different department, that will have to agree to the implants. I am not really confident with that. So I am beginning to look at other options.
If, I get the surgery done ...

Skip to comments.MEDIA FIREWORKS: MCCAIN PLEADS WITH NY TIMES TO SPIKE STORY
Posted on 12/20/2007 7:47:55 AM PST by sitetestEdited on 12/20/2007 9:24:12 AM PST by Admin Moderator. [history]
click here to read article
Well McCain is one of the Keating five.
My sister had all their albums, they where bad!!
For those intelligent enough to grasp it, that line says everything that need be said about the state of journalism these days.
oh knock it off and lets move on.
The keating five, the gang of 14, the McCain Fiengold disaster.
Stellar career John .....NOT !!!
she did not steal drugs out of red cross packages! sheese! SHe was funding medicine for kids overseas. SHe paid for them all. SHe got addicted to pain killers and ordered extra for herself. Was it wrong? Yes it was. BUt she is now clean she is doing great
No she didn't order extra for herself.
She got prescriptions filled in the names of other staff members.
That is illegal - unless you're married to a politician.
So what's McCain trying to sneak thru before anybody finds out about this time? Didn't the idiot learn his lesson on the shamnesty, or is that what he's pushing again? And some people are considering this ass to lead this country- I don't think so!
Just what we need, a candidate who owes his political life to the NY Slimes. The story seems to have been spiked and Drudge has gone into hiding from big bad Bennett.
Guess McCain can't understand why the media (who he believed loved him), has betrayed him and revealed stuff about McCain which may or may not be true.
I'm not a McCain supporter so quite frankly, I don't give a damn.
But .. it does show me that Hillary is terrified of him - and Clinton, Inc. is turning up the heat. That's gratitude for ya .. after all the times McCain collaborated with Hillary or the dems on legislation.
"Rudy/Romney needs McCains supporters"
Can I play your game? Fred needs McCains supporters. Gee that was easy, all I have to do is make something up that I have no knowledge of. What's good for the goose is good for the gander!
I do not trust McCain at all, I have not trusted him ever since he showed us how he holds a grudge. Now this picture of him smiling at Hillary is just too much, it makes me sick, why this man is even out of the single digits is beyond me. The Fred supporters are mad at the wrong candidate. They should stop fussing over Mitt and start raising hell about McCain, that would make more sense!
Then perhaps that explains why Fred supporters around here never mention a word about McCain, I bet they have already been chosen to be Fred's delegates. Well, that would certainly explain alot!
Not sure what this is all about exactly.
But I know that of all the GOP candidates, McLame
is at the very BOTTOM of my list to support!
And..., this is news how???
Get a grip on the real world, legislation is typically proposed by interest groups and presented by lobbyists. The proposed legislation is then forwarded to the federal agencies which would be impacted for comment and refinement!
Been there..., done that..., ad nauseum!
and everyone here hates Rudy more?
Not everyone, but I know what you mean.
Not only that, but the DEA was after McCain's wife for stealing drugs from her company. So McCain cut a deal with clinton, agreed to work with him, and clinton called off the dogs.
Not an admirable business. If she has reformed, all to the good. I'm not concerned about her faults; I'm concerned about McCain, because he's the guy who is a senator and a presidential candidate—and a corrupt crook.
The only reason the NYT didn't run this already was that they want to save it to hit him if he is the nominee.
There are folks who were critical of this thread when it was originally posted, because they thought it unfairly besmirched Sen. McCain. If it turns out that the NY Times has been holding something on the Senator, and will now release it once he has the nomination sewn up, I wonder how those folks will then feel? I wonder how they will feel knowing that if whatever this is about had come out before Mr. McCain sewed up the nomination, he wouldn't have gotten the nomination?
Can we all say "President H. Clinton"?

The Macsween Haggis Bible (Paperback)Jo Macsween, Bob Dewar
Paperback Published: 12/12/2012
- 5+ in stock
Click & Collect From your local shop
Scotland's National dish is the source of endless jokes and horror stories, yet continues to provoke curiosity around the world. With an ancient history and an eight-verse tribute penned by Robert Burns, haggis is a Scottish cultural icon. So how did it come to acquire its bad boy image and earn such mixed reviews, ranging from the devotion of its fans to the deep revulsion of the uninitiated? In this informative and light-hearted book, Jo Macsween of the famous family of Edinburgh haggis makers, expertly guides you through the myths and magic to a new realm of haggis appreciation that transcends neeps, tatties and Burns Night. Featuring fifty mouth-watering recipes, Jo rewrites the rules and demonstrates that haggis is a versatile ingredient that can be savoured at all times of day and throughout the year. She even dares to challenge the long-standing association of haggis with whisky, and recommends a new coterie of drinking companions.

A word from the curator
This is an outline of the art of the book starting from the early 60's to what book artists are doing today. We want to show many types of Artists Books and how they fit into this history from loose-leaf books of card through puzzle books and concertinas. From unique hand-made books to sleek published multiples. We will also cover out-of-the-book vernacular pieces who are only books because the artists say they are. Many of these pieces will be modified books where artists take a book of their choosing and manipulate it into a work of art. These may not even look like a book. - Jon Coffelt, May 2016

Breaking: Fugitive Hedge-Fund Manager Samuel Israel III in Custody
He surrendered in Massachusetts this morning while talking to his mother on the phone.
Samuel Israel III, the hedge-fund manager who fled a twenty-year prison sentence last month by faking his own suicide (he scrawled "Suicide Is Painless" on the hood of his car, left the car on a bridge over the Hudson, and escaped in a tricked-out RV) turned himself in in Massachusetts this morning.
"He surrendered at 9:30 this morning," said Peter Coe, dispatcher with the Southwick police, who referred further questions to the U.S. Marshals service. Israel surrendered in Southwick, about two hours' drive west of Boston, he said.
Dude, honestly? That's, what, a four-hour drive? You had three weeks. Anyway, he's in federal custody now. Updates on his lost weekend to come!
UPDATE: "Mr. Israel was talking to his mother on the phone when he walked into a local jail and surrendered to the United States Marshals task force, a spokeswoman for the marshals said." Who's the hero? Mom. [NYT]

Dazzling Dubrovnik - tips on being happy there
As we approach the end of our stay in Dubrovnik I feel the need to reiterate: The people of Croatia, contrary to what I was told thirty years ago by a Croat living in Toronto, are good friendly folks. Croatia has architecture to match the best in Europe. The most memorable aspect for me however, will be their rugged landscape with almost 5,800 kilometres of coastline touching waters that are the clearest of clear. ...
Day 39
... to see his boat licence. David asks where the life jackets are and he says "I took them out so you would have more room". Australia this is not!
We climb aboard our ride for the day and set off through Lapad harbour. The harbour is dominated by the bridge; it's modern architecture is in contrast with everything around it. There are a few small cruise boats still in port but we can't see David and Marilyn's to give them a final wave goodbye.
Dubrovnik, Montenegro, and Bosnia
... The trail took about an hour and a half from the old town up to the top and it was tiring. Luckily, the sky clouded over while we were walking so it wasn't so hot. We made it to the top and enjoyed the views and ate lunch. It is cool to see how the city is laid out from above. Also, you can tell based off the colors of the roofs which buildings were damaged and which are original. The final cool thing is that you can see Bosnia directly behind the mountain, the final island of Croatia, ...
Goodbye Montenegro, Hello Croatia!
... for the day, our group met outside the gates and took the bus to our new home for the next week, the MS Vapor. When we arrived at the pier, I think many of us were surprised by the size of the boat. I had an idea of what to expect, but it was actually a bit larger and nicer than I had anticipated. We were given a warm welcome by the crew and a representative from Katarina Line. Everyone was introduced and Mario, the barman, had already ...

One in three buildings in the old town were hit. There are various memorials and photo exhibitions on display throughout the city as a reminder that even a UNESCO site was not off limits in a time of conflict. ...

2.9: Sine and Cosecant Graphs
Imagine for a moment that you have a clock that has only one hand - that rotates counterclockwise! However, the hand is very slim all the way until the tip, where there is a ball on the end. In fact, the hand is so slim you won't notice it. You only notice the ball on the end of the rotating hand. This hand is rotating faster than normal. Here is a picture of the clock:
Consider what it would be like if you put a light next to the clock and let the shadow of the hands fall on the far wall.
What pattern would that shadow trace out? If you think about it, you might realize that the shadow would make an up and down motion, over and over as the hand of the clock rotated. Now imagine that instead of a wall, there was a large piece of paper for the shadow to fall on. And wherever the shadow fell, there would be a mark on the paper. Finally, imagine moving the paper as the clock rotates. Can you imagine sort of pattern this would trace out?
By the end of this Concept, you'll understand just how this relates to trigonometric functions in general, and the sine graph in particular.
Watch This
James Sousa Animation: Graphing the Sine Function Using the Unit Circle
By now, you have become very familiar with the specific values of sine, cosine, and tangents for certain angles of rotation around the coordinate grid. In mathematics, we can often learn a lot by looking at how one quantity changes as we consistently vary another. We will be looking at the sine value as a function of the angle of rotation around the coordinate plane. We refer to any such function as a circular function, because they can be defined using the unit circle. Recall from earlier sections that the sine of an angle in standard position is the ratio of \begin{align*}\frac{y}{r}\end{align*}
Because the ratios are the same for a given angle, regardless of the length of the radius \begin{align*}r\end{align*}
The denominator is now 1, so we have the simpler expression, \begin{align*}\sin x=y\end{align*}
Through Quadrant I that height gets larger, starting at 0, increasing quickly at first, then slower until the angle reaches \begin{align*}90^\circ\end{align*}
As you rotate into the second quadrant, the height starts to decrease towards zero.
When you start to rotate into the third and fourth quadrants, the length of the segment increases, but this time in a negative direction, growing to -1 at \begin{align*}270^\circ\end{align*}
After one complete rotation, even though the angle continues to increase, the sine values will repeat themselves. The same would have been true if we chose to rotate clockwise to investigate negative angles, and this is why the sine function is a periodic function. The period is \begin{align*}2\pi\end{align*}
Let's translate this circular motion into a graph of the sine value vs. the angle of rotation. The following sequence of pictures demonstrates the connection. These pictures plot \begin{align*}(\theta, \sin \theta)\end{align*}
After we rotate around the circle once, the values start repeating. Therefore, the sine curve, or "wave," also continues to repeat. The easiest way to sketch a sine curve is to plot the points for the quadrant angles. The value of \begin{align*}\sin \theta\end{align*}
Filling in the gaps in between and allowing for multiple rotations as well as negative angles results in the graph of \begin{align*}y = \sin x\end{align*}
As we have already mentioned, \begin{align*}\sin x\end{align*}
Cosecant is the reciprocal of sine, or \begin{align*}\frac{1}{y}\end{align*}
The period of the function is \begin{align*}2\pi\end{align*}
Notice again the reciprocal relationships at 0 and the asymptotes. Also look at the intersection points of the graphs at 1 and -1. Many students are reminded of parabolas when they look at the half-period of the cosecant graph. While they are similar in that they each have a local minimum or maximum and they have the same beginning and ending behavior, the comparisons end there. Parabolas are not restricted by asymptotes, whereas the cosecant curve is.
Example A
Graph the following function:
\begin{align*}g(x)=\frac{1}{2} \sin \left( 3x \right)\end{align*}
As you can see from the graph, the \begin{align*}\frac{1}{2}\end{align*}
Example B
Graph the following function:
\begin{align*}f(x)=\frac{1}{3} \csc \left( \frac{1}{2}x \right)\end{align*}.
Example C
Graph \begin{align*}f(x)=5 \sin \left( 2(x+\frac{\pi}{3}) \right)\end{align*}.
Circular Function: A circular function is a function that is measured by examining the angle of rotation around the coordinate plane.
Guided Practice
1. Graph \begin{align*}g(x)=5 \csc \left( \frac{1}{4}(x+\pi \right))\end{align*}.
2. Determine the function creating this graph:
3. Graph \begin{align*}h(x)=3 \sin \left( \frac{1}{2}(x+\frac{\pi}{2} \right))\end{align*}.
This could be either a secant or cosecant function. We will use a cosecant model. First, the vertical shift is -1. The period is the difference between the two given \begin{align*}x-\end{align*}values, \begin{align*}\frac{7\pi}{4}-\frac{3\pi}{4}=\pi\end{align*}, so the frequency is \begin{align*}\frac{2\pi}{\pi}=2\end{align*}. The horizontal shift incorporates the frequency, so in \begin{align*}y=\csc x\end{align*} the corresponding \begin{align*}x-\end{align*}value to \begin{align*}\left(\frac{3\pi}{4}, 0\right)\end{align*} is \begin{align*}\left(\frac{\pi}{2}, 1\right)\end{align*}. The difference between the \begin{align*}x-\end{align*}values is \begin{align*}\frac{3\pi}{4}-\frac{\pi}{2}=\frac{3\pi}{4}-\frac{2\pi}{4}=\frac{\pi}{4}\end{align*} and then multiply it by the frequency, \begin{align*}2 \cdot \frac{\pi}{4}=\frac{\pi}{2}\end{align*}. The equation is \begin{align*}y=-1+ \csc \left(2(x-\frac{\pi}{2}\right))\end{align*}.
Concept Problem Solution
As you have seen in this Concept, the shadow of a light applied vertically to a rotating clock hand would trace out a sine graph. The graph would begin at zero when the hand is lying flat along the positive "x" axis. It would then increase until the hand was vertical. It would then decrease until the rotating hand was pointing straight down. Finally, the graph would increase again to zero when the hand is returning to the positive "x" axis.
Graph each of the following functions.
- \begin{align*}f(x)=\sin(x)\end{align*}.
- \begin{align*}h(x)=\sin(2x)\end{align*}.
- \begin{align*}k(x)=\sin(2x+\pi)\end{align*}.
- \begin{align*}m(x)=2\sin(2x+\pi)\end{align*}.
- \begin{align*}g(x)=2\sin(2x+\pi)+2\end{align*}.
- \begin{align*}f(x)=\csc(x)\end{align*}.
- \begin{align*}h(x)=\csc(2x)\end{align*}.
- \begin{align*}k(x)=\csc(2x+\pi)\end{align*}.
- \begin{align*}m(x)=2\csc(2x+\pi)\end{align*}.
- \begin{align*}g(x)=2\csc(2x+\pi)+2\end{align*}.
- \begin{align*}h(x)=\sin(3x)\end{align*}.
- \begin{align*}k(x)=\sin(3x+\frac{\pi}{2})\end{align*}.
- \begin{align*}m(x)=3\sin(3x+\frac{\pi}{2})\end{align*}.
- \begin{align*}g(x)=3\sin(3x+\frac{\pi}{2})+3\end{align*}.
- \begin{align*}h(x)=\csc(3x)\end{align*}.
- \begin{align*}k(x)=\csc(3x+\frac{3\pi}{2})\end{align*}.
- \begin{align*}m(x)=4\csc(3x+\frac{3\pi}{2})\end{align*}.
- \begin{align*}g(x)=4\csc(3x+\frac{3\pi}{2})-3\end{align*}.
