I'm afraid of all this looking so closely at OSM. "If you stare too long into the abyss, the abyss stares back at you."
I believe that this "self-similarity" principle would be more accurately referred to as a fractal property.

Fake NTodd and I agree on something. I can't watch TV. Are they playing now? Are the Bucks smearing those pussies across the field?
I apologise for saying the "Hey Bulldog" was from The White Album when it was from Yellow Submarine -- about the only thing I liked on Yellow Submarine -- obviously I was already too tired when I wrote that last night & should have retired earlier -- I have already emailed an apology to Immanentize.
Now what is this thread about?
'reality television'? Is REAL WORLD going to do a season in Baghdad?

But most lawyers interviewed for this article said Fitzgerald would not go through the trouble of calling upon a new grand jury -- after gathering so much testimony from and about Rove -- unless he is exploring new territory uncovered since the Oct. 28 Libby indictment.
"Whoever's Woodward's source probably feels terribly uncomfortable right now," said E. Lawrence Barcella Jr., a Washington defense lawyer and former prosecutor.

Well, from the threads I've been through: Our culture sucks for fat women, NTodd desires undergarments when not shouting at trolls, a lot of 70's music sucked, and we love to remember how much it sucked...what did I leave out?
What about hand-wringing trolls? Or DINO trolls? Or "I used to be a liberal under the liberals became so moderate" trolls?
Our authority, Dr. Reason A. Goodwin, lumps them all together on the same dung heap...

Hollywood star JOHNNY DEPP is so shocked by the riots raging through France, he's considering abandoning his home in the country.
The FINDING NEVERLAND heart-throb moved to Europe when life in Los Angeles became too violent.
He has since divided time between the two continents - but he fears France will be scarred permanently by the current troubles.
He says, "It's insane, that setting cars on fire is the new strike.
"I went there (to France) to live because it seemed so simple.
"Now it's anything but. I don't know how they'll recover from this."
Crazy.
So, what's up, pussycats?
Sorry, we're done with the bad 70's music thing.

NTodd or NTodd --
I was so glad to get out of Ohio before the Michigan game -- I guess there is no escape -- MI is pretty lousy this year, so I assume the Buckeyes are winning, but over the past 35 years, the Buckeyes have never been as good as they think they are (not that "think" is really the right word when dealing with Ohio State fans)
I just ate a candy bar made of premium chocolate and chipotle. It was insanely good. Intense, complex chocolate taste with a little chili sting. Could prove to be addictive.

There's a bar in Seattle that makes margaritas with a tequilla mulled with peppers. Citrus-y and spicy. Amazing...
AMMAN, Jordan -- At least 200,000 persons demonstrated yesterday against the recent bombings of three luxury hotels, while a new online statement attributed to terrorist leader Abu Musab Zarqawi defended the attacks and threatened to cut off the head of Jordan's King Abdullah II.
An anti-terrorist demonstration of such size is unprecedented in the Arab world, where Zarqawi, his mentor, Osama bin Laden, and their al Qaeda organization have attained folk-hero status among Muslim masses.
"Zarqawi, from Amman, we say to you: 'You are a coward,' " protesters chanted while brandishing banners with the names of their tribes from every part of Jordan.
I have always wondered how much a "grain" was, as in "twenty grains of laudanum"
I have just now learned that twenty grains makes a scruple, that three scruples makes a drachm, and that eight drachms makes an ounce.
attaturk - well, gee, there's a surprise.
I am actually glad that gargoyle stood up in the House and made that god-awful statement. I could listen to the sound of angry Democrats in the House all day long.
I love it.
I hope that the whole thing is replayed over and over and over. Schmidt is another great spokesperson for the GOP.

Wasn't there an Operation Vapid Gargoyle? To seal the Iraq-Syria border, or something?

I just so happen to have a jar of those as well. I prefer the others, but the cheesey ones are pretty good.

Um...sorry. It's a bidness class.
Although I must step away shortly to prep some pie crusts.
Todd - have you tried the ones with almonds? They're very....substantial.
sekmet - who makes the chocolate bar you ate with chipotles in it?
Whole Foods has been carrying really good and different chocolate from different parts of the world and in different combinations like that one. I've had a bar that has chili in it, though I don't think it was chipotles. I loved it, too. Heat goes well with chocolate.

Chile in hot chocolate.

They make it easier to pillage funds from the Treasury.

gods, I'm such a political geek.
it's a sunny and cold day outside. I could be raking leaves and getting a little exercise.
The renovation still looms ahead. I should be packing up the history section of the Casa Roja/Verde library. (That's a big section of the library. Probably 40 boxes of books).
So I'm sitting here mesmerized by the re-run of Steny Hoyer et al from Thursday's budget
debate.
Go Nancy Go!!!

Not here. They're talking about schmidt up on the new thread.
It is made by Target. It's that new brand they have been advertising on tv called Chox. The bar is called 'Hot Chocolate'.
Sure. I can see that. I've been making observations on my blog for months about how any small piece of the GOP, even down to the wingnut blogs, are perfect synecdoches of the whole. The sum of its parts really is no greater than the whole.
And it's notable that last night aloine, we heard two Republicans (Hunter and Schmidt) who read off letters and accounts supposedly written by two men who are supposedly for the war. Kinda reminded me of McCarthy waving his empty sheets of paper in the air.
So that's how the GOP gets away with the No Propaganda at Home law.
I'd like to think that we've finally awakened as a nation have see that this magnificent Iraqi edifice that the GOP has built up is nothing more than a rickety House of Marked Cards.
Meanwhile, nearly 50 are dead and 71 more injured in yet two more suicide car bomb explosions. How much longer is the GOP going to think that the Iraqi people will continue to tolerate our ineptitude and cruelty? You call this liberation? Liberation from what, this mortal coil?
“We lost control of the context,” Rendon warned. “That has to be fixed for the next war.”
is there a contextual Cockpunch?
Todd - have you tried the ones with almonds? They're very....substantial.
No, I even heard of such a thing. Cool.
Prior Aelred are you a monk? If so do you have a good library? If so do you have a librarian and does he need to be a Catholic?

Why don't they love her? She's the perfect useful idiot, and she helped them steal the election. You'd think they'd show a little of that famous bush loyalty.
Ah, I was wondering what happened--invisible sheets.
I have culled 6 boxes of books, from older eco-bio tomes to sf paperbacks, lots of politcal books from the last 6-7 years.
But there's still so many...
if there is such a thing as reincarnation, I must have watched the great pagan books burn in Scotia, Alexandria and Eire, and swore I'd keep as many books alive and safe as I could in all future lives.
Haldan --
I am a monk (click "Homepage")
We are Episcopalians
The abbot is our librarian (a local helps out from time to time -- it is a small library & not a full time job)
Yesterday I watched "Washington Weak"
on PBS and they were all talking about how the whitehouse is in full campaign mode after the comments by Rep. John Murtha and how they are going after him and pushing for an investigation into him. And it reminded me of another time someone made some comments they didn't like and they went into full campaign mode : Joe Wilson and it completely confirmed for me (as if I had any doubt)
That they at the highest level Bush & Cheney were the ones to commit treason
and that this is their pattern. And it just discusts me that they have the nerve to try this while they are in an investgaton about these same tactics.
Halfdan --
If you had pressed on in "Post Captain" I think you would have felt it was worth it -- someone described the Aubrey/Maturin books as being as if one of Jane Austen's Royal Navy brothers had written novels -- what I like about them (one of many things I like about them) is that the people are people of their era, not ours
(BTW -- I did not like the movie -- NTodd & WGG did -- they are wrong)
So, basically, the Pentagon has no credibility whatsoever, and nobody working there can be trusted to provide accurate information about anything.
Not surprising, of course, but maybe someone should tell all those reporters that go to the Pentagon press conferences: there's no point.
Prior Aelred,
I will get back to it later I'm sure.
I did not know that Episcopalians were monastic--and I am a confirmed (though lapsed) Episcopalian.
Halfdan --
Religious life went out with Henry VIII (basically -- Mary made an attempt to restore it but couldn't risk alienating the people who had bought the monstic properties) but was restored in the wake of the Oxford Movement --
Anglican Religious Orders
Actually this observation might be HUGELY IMPORTANT. Scale invariant functions, more especially scale invariant correlation functions are closely connected with cooperative systems nearing phase transitions -- namely one particle of wingnuts, being coupled to nearby particles of wingnuts, if one of them gets just a tad more wingnutty, there is a marked tendency, apparent via the wingnut-wingnut interaction Hamiltonian, for the nearby wingnuts to become MORE wingnutty as well. The result near a phase transition is this kind of self-similarity at several scales. But that means that wingnuts are going to start going into their own reality more and more (as we've noticed) and no longer inhabiting our reality. Now the problem is, how much of our real world's energy resources and whatnot are they going to take with them? Are they going to gobble up all of the available phase space? Ours as well?
This could be bad.

Hey, watertiger shure is purty. And the same age as my wife, too, so I can think that w/o becoming a registered sex offensive.

Prior A--do you have to "believe" or can you just go in for the Evensong stuff and the vestments?
When I was younger I read Seven Storey Mountain and wanted to be a monk but couldn't find it in my heart to lie about my faith.
Prior A, thanks for the background on Episcopal monasticism. This one kinda jumped out at me:
'The five founding Sisters of the Community of St Mary were mature women of widely varying personalities and gifts, who had served in the short-lived Sisterhood of the Holy Communion at St Luke's Hospital in New York City until 1863. Bishop Horatio Potter, Sixth Bishop of New York, chose the Blessed Virgin Mary as patroness of the new Community and selected the Feast of Purification, 1865, for the service of these five sisters at St Michael's Church, Manhattan.
Just as a guess they got run out of town by the Civil War Draft Riots (aka Gangs of New York), which were right after the Battle of Gettysburg...and then they get restored/reconstituted/reanimated one might almost say....by Bishop Harry Potter!
How cool is that?
I actually like old-timey swimming suits. Me and the wife wore some in Banff at the springs where you could rent them. Given the fact that you can soak in the springs while it's -20 and blowing snow, they kinda come in handy when you get out.
OK, I thought this was a joke, but it isn't:

Kind of *hot*, actually. Which raises the question that wouldn't it be more modest to wear a bikini and blend in than to bring attention to yourself by dressing like a Mennonite and covering your assets so suspiciously?
Makes me want to ask "whatcha got under there?"
Oh, and the cheese-making. Can you go in just for the cheese-making and the wine-making?
I'm working with my 14-year-old on a Mandelbrot set project; it's one of those self-similar functions.
The algebra that generates the fractal is interesting. The complex plane has two axes, the real and the imaginary. The real has no privileged status....
