750ml caged and corked bottle, Jan 2009, 6.5% abv, says Exclusief Kriek-Lambiek on the label...also says, on the back 37.5cl. Wrong! ;^)
A- Pours a cloudy black cherry colour, no head of foam, really, and no lacing. There was barely a hiss when I removed the cork.
S- Big sour cherry aromas with lots of funk...horse blanket...sourness has some notes of vinegar.
T- Again, sour cherries and funk, some light vinegar, not overly sour and frankly, not that pleasing to my palate. Maybe it's the lack of any carbonation?
M- Flat and think bodied.
O- Drinks more like a red wine, what with no carbo. The first De Cam brew that did not having me smiling big time.

Bottle from Etre Gourmet, 750ml into a tulip. 2009 vintage.
Deep purple body, with a pinkish-purple head. Ring of retention. Nose has some insane barnyard character, horse shit/manure, herbs, flatulence and not too much fruit. What in the fuck am I smelling? Palate has crazy funk character, apple, horse stable/horse shit, plastic and distant but detectable cherry notes. Light medium body, medium low carbonation. Unlike anything I've ever consumed before.

Aroma is funky, berry, plastic, horse blanket. A good looking reddish purple, with a small retained head and lace. Sour yet cushioned finish. A bit palate erasing. Very drinkable. Fruity sour in the sediment. Masterful combination.A unique beer, thanks Liam.

Big thanks to belgbeergeek for bringing this over and making it part of the De Cam tasting at our party. Cheers man! We drunk this one right after the regular lambic.
From a 750ml corked and caged bottle into a tasting glass.
Vintage: 2009
Note: Label says Kriek-Lambiek and is noted at 6.5%
APPEARANCE: Pours out relatively flat, yielding a slight wisp and ring only. A hazy poppy red in color with no carbonation evident. Only a ring remains until the end leaving no lacing down the glass. A little lack-luster, but nothing wrong per se.
SMELL: Musty and funky notes, with some cherry definitely there. Not quite as bold as hoped, but a decent balance between musty lambic, tart cherries and floral aromas. A touch of white wine competes with the tart cherries as well.
TASTE: Some sour lemon, tart cherries and wine flavors, as well as some musty and funky flavors in the mix. Touches of floral hops at the swallow as well. Mild finish of musty funk, tart lemon and cherry flavors and some light sourness. Mild in flavor all around, and definitely not as impressive as hoped. A little weak.
PALATE: Medium body and lower levels of carbonation. Slightly watery on the palate, smooth going down, however, and finishes slightly dry. Not overly puckering.
OVERALL: This one just missed the mark for me. The lambic is fine, as we had just seen, but the cherries didn't quite lend the flavor that we'd all hoped for. Mild all around and slightly watery, unfortunately. Not quite there for me.

The beer is a deep, dark, ruby red with a soft pinkish purple head. The aroma and flavor both showcase the cherry. Mildly acetic and highly drinkable. This beer is quite noticeably different in both aroma and flavor from the 3 Fonteinen and Cantillon krieks I was enjoying earlier in my trip. The body is medium to thick and coats the palate more so than is customary for the style. A blend of sweet and tart cherries, with a bit of a syrupy character. Overall, this is solid. I would definitely have this again.

I've had better Krieks, these krieks from De Cam are good but they sort of border that cough syrup flavor at times, maybe if they were either sweeter or more sour it would work out better. I doubt I'll go out of my way to have it again.
Beer is ruby red, dark, with a pink head, lazy head breaks quickly, moderate carbonation, some lacing, low retention.
Aroma is funky, tart, sour, lactic, cherries, sweet.
Beer is medium to light in body, tart on the finish but syrupy and sweet with lots of cherries up front, nice Brett character and lactic breaking through in themidaplate. Like I said though, Probably not a repeat for me.

text: You can almost pull this off in under 10 minutes - start to finish. The thin steaks help, but the rest is super simple as well. Use any mustard you like - I like using honey mustard, but feel free to substitute a Dijon or grainy mustard - just stay away from ball park yellow mustard. It belongs on hot dogs, not here.

The St. Norbert Ambassador of Peace AwardHonoring St. Nobert's legacy of reconciliation, each year St. Norbert
College honors an individual who has been an influential advocate for
sustainable peace in our world. The St. Norbert Ambassador of Peace
demonstrates the qualities of a peacemaker in a consistent and
manner: respect for persons, promotion of dialogue, nonviolent conflict
resolution, reconciliation and forgiveness.
2012 St. Norbert Ambassador of Peace AwardSept. 20, 20126:30 p.m. Wine & cheese reception7:15 p.m. Award Ceremony7:30 p.m. Lecture "Peacemakers In my Life - A Source of Inspiration" Location:Ft. Howard Theater, Bemis International Center
The Most Reverend John R. Manz, Auxiliary Bishop of the Archdiosese of Chicago, is being honored by St. Norbert College with the 2012 St. Norbert Ambassador of Peace Award. Bishop Manz has enjoyed a long and exemplary ministry with migrant farmworkers, immigrants, and other Spanish-speaking Catholics.Born and raised in the Chicago area, he learned Spanish while working in the seminary kitchen alongside Mexican nuns. He then spent his summers landscaping with migrant workers from Texas and Mexico, whose friendship opened him up to an entirely new world. He spent the summer of 1968 working with Cesar Chavez in California and then living in a Texas border town, visiting migrant camps. He was ordained a priest in 1971, and all three of the parishes he served were made up predominantly of Mexican immigrants. He said of this ministry, "It started out on a personal level and gradually grew into something I felt very committed to, something I thought I could do to help out in some way. Once you begin to learn a language, it becomes no longer an abstract thing, and you get to know individuals, not just a social class of people."
Bishop Manz wrote, "The best part of my work is meeting the people, talking to and listening to them. As a parish priest, we would have street masses usually every week in different parts of the neighborhood, many of which were still heavily gang infested. The people who lived on the block would kind of organize it. We would close down the street and have mass. Normally, we would get anywhere from a hundred to three hundred people. Often gang members would be on the fringes just kind of looking in and watching. We did that for years. I always found those masses enjoyable. It was kind of like taking it to the people. There would be little kids sitting on porch steps and running around. It reminded me of the kind of a thing I often saw in rural Mexico, where they often had mass outdoors, because the village church wasn't big enough.
"Like the migrants, I too come from a humble background. My people are from farms and small towns. When I was a kid I spent a lot of time on the farm with my grandmother who was a very simple farm lady. Maybe it goes back to that. I learned from her and from others in my family that this is the way you look at the world, and that the work you do is not better or worse than anyone else. It's hard to get an exalted opinion of yourself, working on a farm, when you are standing knee deep in manure."
Bishop Manz has continued to focus on immigrants since being ordained a bishop in 1996. He has served as Chairman of the Committee for Church in Latin America of the United States Catholic Conference of Bishops and as the Episcopal Liaison to the Migrant Farmworker Apostolate. He is a member of the Migration and Refugee Services Committee, the Secretariat of Cultural Diversity In the Church, and the Committee on Pastoral Care of Migrants, Travelers, and Refugees.

Full match report, quotes reaction and colour piece in tomorrow's T&A. Definitely worth a read.
Phil Parkinson in buoyant mood post-match... and rightly so.
He said: "I think it's important to enjoy the moment but not get carried away.
"We must be respectful to Villa because in two weeks' time we've got to go to Villa Park.
"We're absolutely delighted with the way we played because from the first minute to the last I thought the lads were tremendous tonight.
"Equally we know we're only halfway there and we've got a tremendously difficult job in a fortnight's time.
"The support from the fans was incredible and the way they backed the lads got that extra ten to fifteen per cent out of them."
Well, that's it for now folks. Incredible stuff as Bradford City Football Club take a giant step towards a potential Wembley date on Sunday, February 24.
City 3, Aston Villa 1
Matt Duke's heroics and goals from Nahki Wells, Rory McArdle and Carl McHugh gave City an amazing victory in tonight's Capital One Cup semi-final first leg.
Bantams goalkeeper Duke was outstanding throughout and made numerous fine saves to keep Paul Lambert's men at bay at a raucous Valley Parade.
Wells' clinical finish from close range had put City in front in the 18th minute and McArdle headed a second with 13 minutes remaining.
Villa fashioned several chances throughout but Duke enjoyed a brilliant match to keep them at bay until Andreas Weimann pulled a goal back in the 83rd minute.
That came moments after James Hanson headed against the crossbar but City had the final say when McHugh's planted a firm header past Shay Given for a potentially process third.
It means City have a huge chance of seeing off Villa in the second leg in a fortnight's time as they bid to reach the final at Wembley on February 24, where they would face Swansea or Chelsea.
FINAL SCORE - City 3 Aston Villa 1 - Amazing. City in with a huge chance of reaching Wembley.

15 mins - High hanging cross from Stephen Darby well held by Shay Given.
15 mins - Nathan Doyle clumsily fouls Gabriel Agbonlahor at the expense of a free-kick on the left flank. City clear the danger.

The final figure for the T&A poll on who will win tonight shows 59% believe City can do it.
Midland Road Stand beginning to fill with Aston Villa fans, who are usually a noisy bunch. Tonight should be no different.
Everyone I've spoken to is predicting a #bcafc win - and hoping to hold a lead at Villa Park. Most optimistic score prediction is 5-1.— @HannahP_TandA 08 January 2013

Anticipation was building in the city ahead of tonight's Capital One Cup showdown between the Bantams and Premier League big guns Aston Villa.
Despite a miserable, rain-soaked afternoon, spirits among supporters were high as they began to head to Valley Parade for City's biggest game in years.
The Bantams have never previously reached the semi-finals of the competition since its formation in the 1960-61 season.
Villa won the League Cup that year but they have struggled badly under Paul Lambert this term, encouraging hopes that City can claim the most famous win in the club's history.
Phil Parkinson's men bundled Arsenal out at the quarter-final stage last month and are set be backed by another crowd well in excess of 20,000 tonight.
After beating Wigan and Arsenal on penalties in the previous two rounds, the Bantams were aiming to become the first side from the bottom tier to defeat three top-flight sides in the same League Cup competition.
The second leg takes place at Villa Park two weeks tonight, with the winners facing Swansea or Chelsea in the final at Wembley on February 24.
Great day Bradford. Well done all at #bcafc and as Sir Winston said. This is no time for ease and comfort. It is time to dare and endure.— @waynejacobs22 08 January 2013

Hines/G Jones
These players have all had the experience of playing 180 mins plus extra time apart from Hines/Jones against the the two premiership teams.
My wish is that AV do not score at all
tonight even if we don't as away goals count double in the event of a tie.
Best of luck to the lads tonight in what maybe a very physical game judging be the number of fouls AV made in the last game.
Even if we loose, as posted before, the club have certainly given us a season to remember and that is regardless of wether we win promotion or not.

Thought we were going to be in for a long night first 20 minutes, with Nzogbia causing us problems in the roving role between the central midfield and the back four, but once we learned to pick him up, we got a foothold in the game, and played some excellent football.
Yes, they have missed some great chances, but we could easily have had few more goals as well.
Really frustrating to see us concede a realy soft goal, which threatened to undo a lot of our good work but what a great header from McHugh.
With a two goal lead I'd say it's 50/50 as to whether we will go through; if we can score then I believe we will do.
Whatever happens though, tonight will life long in the memory.

OK, I've had it up to here with the implied insults you two, and other ATM types, have been throwing around. As a particle physicist I'm offended by your implications that I, and my colleagues, are unthinking boobs. If the Standard Model you're referring to is that of particle physics you're knocking one of the most successful theories out there including, as it does, the quark model, electroweak theory, quantum electrodynamics, and quantum chromodynamics among its components. It's met experimental tests and has been flexible enough to accomdate the results of experiments that originally conflicted with its predictions. I know most ATM types out there feel that that's a weakness of a theory, but frankly, all that opinion does is demonstrate your ignorance of how real science is conducted. An inflexible theory is useless.
So what's your alternative. The electric universe? Don't make me laugh. Not even wrong. Show me that it, or any alternative you care to mention, makes all of the predictions that the SM does, and then show how it better predicts observations the SM does not. For a start on those, here's the Particle Data Group website. It contains references to experiments and the currently accepted measurements of many quantities. Go to work. Come back when you're done. Until then, I suggest you quit with the unwarranted righteous indignation and go learn some physics before you criticize those whose job it is to investigate these phenomena.

I respectfully suggest that some folks confuse the concept of a scientific LAW with concept of a scientific "theory". A theory (any theory) can be falsified by any number of direct observations.

At what energy level will we find the Higgs boson? In this regard, the principle flexibility of the standard model of particle physics appears to be the willingness to move the energy level goalposts, but not the willingness to consider that there may be no Higgs boson.Originally Posted by Eta C
I will offer you a proof that there is no Higgs boson. If mass is conferred upon matter by by the Higgs boson, and if gravitational attraction is mediated by the graviton, we have a really huge coincidence to explain. If the Higgs field and the gravitational field are truly fields, they are capable of dynamically interacting with matter, and they are capable of variation with respect to time and location. So how can these two separate fields be so absolutely, perfectly congruent across all space and time to produce the universe that we observe?
The universe does not act the way we expected, and that has caused us to resort to invoking Dark Matter and Dark Energy to keep the model somewhat predictive. Still the Universe seems to observe the same gravitational laws everywhere and everywhen we look. If there were two separate fields interacting with matter giving rise to 1) mass and 2) gravitational attraction, differences in field density would give rise to some very odd and inconsistent behavior here and there, perhaps evolving with time and/or with cosmological expansion. We do not see this.
The consistency of observed gravitational behavior across the visible universe is a very strong indicator that mass and gravitation both arise from matter's interaction with a single field. It's still early days yet, but I think that this is the way to reconcile the Higgs/gravitational field coincidence and reconcile the 120 OOM coincidences of the too-small cosmological constant and the too-small gravitational equivalence of the vacuum energy.
If scientific theories are falsifiable, why do I here so many statements similar to this?

If I understand your posts in other threads correctly, you have some ideas about the answers to these questions, but have not yet developed even the mathematical framework in which to begin exploring them? Of course, I wish you well in your endeavour, but without at least a sketch of what that framework would (could?) look like, what basis do we have to discuss (and, hopefully, progress - or, dare I say it - falisify your ideas)? The phrase 'not even wrong' is certainly apt, IMHO, as a description (and not only of your idea, a great many of the ATM ideas floated here in BAUT's ATM section also merit the label).I agree that DE is, at present, very poorly understood (and there is, possibly, some room in the good observational results to assert that it may not 'exist' at all).The universe does not act the way we expected, and that has caused us to resort to invoking Dark Matter and Dark Energy to keep the model somewhat predictive.

DM is quite a different kettle of toast. There is much in possible extensions to the Standard Model (e.g. various SUSY zoos) that could fit the astronomical bill quite nicely, and our inability to put some DM particles on the rack in our labs may owe more to our poor abilities to generate anything above the dampest of firecrackers (energy-wise) compared with what regular denizens of our universe can create by the tonne without even breaking into a sweat.
In this sense, shouldn't a charge of 'too conservative by far' be levelled at the mainstream?

Please show how each of the hypotheticals in my last post would not falsify the standard model. I'll make it easy - please show how even one would not falsify at least one aspect of the standard model (they're not all relevant to all aspects).
I give up, why?Originally Posted by Sparky56
If the Higgs boson is incontrovertably shown to exist, then my polarized quantum vacuum model of gravitation is kaput. In fact, in light of the self-attraction and self-polarization of the virtual-particle pairs in my model, if gravity waves are ever detected, then my model is falsified. (Reason: Field polarization lines between two gravitationally-bound objects, will look like a smooth dumbbell shape at system-scale distances, but sufficiently far from the system, the field polarization will be indistinguishable from a spheroid.) I should probably add that to the summary below with the other potentially falsifying experimentational observations. It's not going to be much of a theory if it cannot make predictions and cannot be falsified, is it?Originally Posted by Nereid
I think that visualizing the ZPE field of the quantum vacuum as the GR ether that Einstein described in "Uber den Ather" is going to lead to the resolution of GR with QT, and it will more resemble what the LQG folks are shooting for than any Stringy theory. We will end up with evanescent space-time foam, providing space with fine structure and physical properties.Originally Posted by Nereid
It appeared to be a perfectly natural question to pose, yet somehow, I never see it addressed anywhere. If this fine-tuning of both the Higgs field and the gravitational field cannot be explained without invoking some incredible coincidence in the congruence of the fields, the standard model has a problem. I came across this conundrum while considering the balance between the 120 OOM too large expansive pressure of the quantum vacuum and the 120 OOM too large gravitational equivalence of the vacuum energy. Sir Roger Penrose spoke about this in a lecture I found archived, and it struck me that there is something very fundamental and important going on in the vacuum if it can remain dynamically balanced to that level of precision.Originally Posted by Nereid
I have laid out at least a half-dozen experimental results that will falsify the model, and I will not holler and kick if any of them turn out negatively. If you read the thread I linked (and I know you are familiar with my travails to some extent) I explained that in 18 months of part-time work, I have laid the conceptual foundation for the model. When it is finished it will be a purely classical field theory. GR curved space-time will be replaced by the the concept that the vacuum fields are polarized by the presence of matter, and that mass, gravitation and inertia all arise through matter's interaction with the local vacuum field - no action at a distance; therefore, no gravitational field or graviton and no Higgs field or Higgs boson.Originally Posted by Nereid
As with the Higgs boson, the energy levels at which SUSY particles are "anticipated" just keep getting pushed higher and higher, which seems a pretty liberal stance to me. At what energy level with non-detection of the Higgs boson or any SUSY particles be taken as evidence of their non-existence? Even if a very massive SUSY particle were found, there is still the not-so-trivial matter of explaining how it manages to distribute itself so that galaxies rotate just so, and clusters manage to hold together and lens background ojects.Originally Posted by Nereid
I realize that appeals to elegance can seem archaic, but I think we will discover that nature is pretty simple at the roots, and that we might be able to explain much of what we see with the entities we currently know to exist. We know the quantuum vacuum exists, and we know it can have measurable effects in the macroscopic world. We cannot have a TOE if it does not address the expected and observed qualities of the vacuum, so why not study it now? If the vacuum can be polarized by the presence of matter, we might not need any more entities to explain gravity on galactic and cluster scales.

You're right that my claim was a bit of hyperbole - there are certainly some things that might possibly falsify the standard model, should they be observed.Originally Posted by Nereid
Please understand that from my viewpoint, however (impatient and frustrated! ), the standard cosmological model has already been falsified. The amount of dark matter needed to fix GR gravity on galactic and cluster scales (and its required distribution) are simply quantifications how badly GR gravitation fails and on what scales. Somehow, the failure is touted as "proof" for the existence of DM and our scientific resources are spent looking for it.
Why exactly does this indicate that GR fails? DM is really quite similar to the situation in the 19th century, when Uranus was not following the path Newtonian Gravity predicted. Two people, John Couch Adams, in England, and Urbain Le Verrier, in France, independently used the Newtonian Equations to predict the location of the 19th century version of dark matter, the planet Neptune. What I find interesting is that George Airy, the Astronomer Royal. didn't have the search started right away, partly because he believed the inverse square law of gravitation broke down over large distances. The planet was found quite near (it's location basically split the two predictions) where it was predicted to be by both Adams and Le Verrier.Originally Posted by turbo-1
I would accept that offer! except I get the impression that you may have already presented it in this thread, is that correct?Originally Posted by turbo-1
To take an extreme case, we could consider the statement "the sun will rise each morning" as a scientific theory. It is falsifiable--if the sun does rise tomorrow, the statement would be false. That is what distinguishes it from the unscientific statement "there is an undetectable seven-dimensional parrot on my shoulder"Originally Posted by Sparky56
On the other hand, most people do not have a problem with saying that "the sun will come up tomorrow" is a fact. We've verified its certainty in many, many ways. What else would we mean by "fact"?
"Somehow"? Are you asking for an explanation for how that was determined? Or are you just dismissing the whole process?Originally Posted by turbo-1
Let's take the gravitation of a spiral galaxy. We inventory the matter in the galaxy by looking at all the luminous stuff, including stuff that is luminous at radio frequencies, we factor in dust, etc, and we make our best guess as to the mass of the galaxy. Strangely, we find out that the galaxy has far less visible mass than is necessary to produce the flat rotation curves we see in its arms.Originally Posted by Tensor
A reasonable person might break the problem down and say, the two most likely culprits are:
1) The galaxy is far more massive than we can predict from observation so most of the matter is indetectable. We can fix this if we invoke dark matter, which cannot be luminous, cannot be strongly interactive, and must still be interactive enough on some level to distribute itself "just so" in order to produce the observed rotation curve.
2) Our GR model of "curved space-time" gravity may not be predictive on galactic scales.
If 1) is true, then our observational "accounting practices" are insufficient to detect most of the mass of a galaxy. If 2) is true, then the "missing mass" is simply a quantification of how much the GR model of gravity fails on that scale.
If we believe and act on 1), this implies that we think GR gravitation is accurate on all scales. The thought that GR is settled and 100% accurate may be comforting, but one should not get too complacent about that. Einstein was quite troubled by the incompleteness of GR and sought for years to find the physical process that "curved space-time" was modeling. He believed that gravitation and inertia were emergent, and that they arose from matter's interaction with the local space in which it is embedded - no action-at-a-distance. This is quite different from the way most people today regard GR gravitation, although some LQG folks could easily adapt their views to conform with his, since they are already modeling the fine structure of the vacuum.
2) Has been tackled by the MOND people, with good predictive sucesses, but nobody has a clue what physical process MOND is modeling that produces the required flat rotation curves. The modification is ad-hoc. Again, we get a quantifiable difference between GR and MOND, indicative of the magnitude of the discrepancy between the observed and inferred mass and the gravitational behavior of the system. We have a measure of how much GR might be in error on galactic scales, but no indication of the source of the error.
On cluster scales, the need for dark matter persists if we belive that GR gravity is 100% accurate. It is needed to account for excess cluster binding and for excess observed lensing. Once again, if you believe in the DM paradigm, you must identify the material and model its distribution to fix the shortfalls at the cluster scale.
In light of this, is it not reasonable to revisit GR and see if we can model gravitation as a physical process? We know a whole lot more about the quantum vacuum now (~80 years on) than was known at the time that Einstein was pursuing his 'etheric' version of GR. Don't you think he would be intrigued by the role of the vacuum in gravitation and inertia?
True - If the Higgs boson conveys mass to matter and the graviton mediates the gravitational attraction between massive bodies, we have a huge coincidence problem. The Higgs field and the gravitational field must be congruent to the nth degree everywhere and everywhen in the Universe, or it would not look the same everywhere. This problem is compounded if we expect that these fields may evolve over time or become more densified or rarified in the presence of embedded matter.Originally Posted by hhEb09'1
Everywhere we look, galaxies and clusters seem to follow the same gravitational rules. This is compelling evidence that mass and gravitation arise from matter's interaction with a single field, not two separate fields.
The calculations that produce the matter shortfalls are not really relativistic ones, are they? The newtonian equations (approximations?) produce the same result.Originally Posted by turbo-1Yes. But all that is being done. People have been working on and testing alternate theories of gravitation for eighty years.In light of this, is it not reasonable to revisit GR and see if we can model gravitation as a physical process?

Because science has become entrenched?Originally Posted by Nereid
And this is bad how?Originally Posted by Sparky56
Correct, the Newtonian approximation produces shortfalls equivalent to that of GR. I just don't want to throw out the baby with the bath water, and would like to re-cast GR curved space time as the polarized quantum vacuum field. If the quantum vacuum is self-attractive (and it certainly has enough gravitational equivalence to be a huge player, here), things could get pretty complex on galactic and cluster scales.Originally Posted by hhEb09'1
Could get? What are the numbers?Originally Posted by turbo-1
I'm hoping to get numbers from CERN's Athena project (testing the Weak Equivalence Principle comparing the gravitational infall rates of neutral antihydrogen and hydrogen). If there is a differential in the infall rate, it would provide a natural polarizing mechanism for the vacuum field in the presence of matter, and the magnitude of the differential would shed some light on the strength of the field's self-attraction.Originally Posted by hhEb09'1
Also, I believe that when the archived Pioneer telemetry data is crunched, we will get our first look at another set of numbers - the refractive index of Solar-system space. The probes are not slowing down with a smooth, coordinated Sunward acceleration, the EM is returning sooner than expected because the speed of light in a rarified vacuum field is faster than that in a denser vacuum field (as predicted by Klaus Scharnhorst as an effect of vacuum rarification between the plates of a Casimir device).
I am still in the conceptual stage, and am not at the point where I can spend a lot of time to refine my math skills (I attended college starting in 1970), so I can be patient a bit about quantification. I would welcome an energetic collaborator with good math skills and a good sense of humor.

Well, it means that the monitor (or other device) on which I read it 'works'.
It means that the PC which my monitor is attached to 'works'.
Also, that the ethernet connection/wireless router/cable modem/coax cable to which the PC is attached 'work'.
That the cable provider has some device, somewhere, that is attached to some kind (or many kinds) of server.
Etc, etc, etc, etc.
If I were so foolish as to open the case of my PC (or monitor, or wireless router, or cable modem, or ...) and pull out the funny green things with strange metallic 'lines' on them, as well as funny rectangular blackish objects, and if I were to be even more foolish as to grind/cut/crush/dissolve in acid/.... these components, I might discover some curious things about what it takes to be able to read words by 'Sparky56' on my monitor.
If I were even more curious, I might scream and yell, question and probe, investigate and research, etc, etc, etc ... and discover that I can read 'Sparky56's words only because thousands of engineers have spent millions of hours of effort following the 'science' of condensed matter physics, of information theory, of Maxwell's equations, etc, etc, etc.
Should I embark upon such a journey, and conclude that 'science works', would I thus be foolish to permit myself a certain, small pleasure that 'science' is, indeed, 'entrenched', at least so far as my ability to read the words of 'Sparky56' on my monitor?
But, being the iconoclast that I am, I reject all this as mere details, the stuff of syncophants and yes men. I demand a fair hearing to all those who rail against science! Let the astrologers, the 'maths is bunk' folk, those who praise 'crystals', who decry the loss of Atlantis, etc, etc, etc have a fair hearing! What say they!! Let them explain to me, in their own words, how it is that I can read the words of 'Sparky56' upon my monitor! Let them tell us all what the HST will find if it points its ACS at {insert pet celestial coordinates here} and collects data for 10,000 seconds! Let us give space to those who will confidently say what the LHC's various instruments will discover after they have been running for five years!!
All postering aside, if you are 'agin' science, why are you here Sparky56?
hmmmmm. I do not think science is entrenched, it have many models to explain many things in very accurate detail. You are correct, it do not explain all detail.

If you can, please explain to me (in your own words) how the standard model can be reconciled with the currently-accepted GR concept of gravitation. I do not mind being told that I am in error when you can show me how I am in error.
I think Cougar was talking about your swipe at the standard model, when you said that it was "faith". Is that like faith that the sun will rise tomorrow?Originally Posted by turbo-1

Diner Reviews
My group of 10 went for the 4th of
July holiday celebration. The food was good and plentiful. The atmosphere was fun. It was a really nice way to see the fireworks. My only issue was parking. The hotel should allow the restaurant guests to park. I had to drive around the block several times trying to find a place to park. As I am unfamiliar with DC, I wasn't happy about that."

Great food and friendly staff and
prefect location. Every time that I visit The District, I will show up to TDL !"

Out of the dozens of places we
could have gone for brunch, I don't know why we chose what basically is the Washington Hilton off-the-lobby restaurant. The server did a hard sell on the buffet but we ignored his advice and ordered off the menu. My friend had an omelet and I had a cobbled-together healthy breakfast -- yogurt, oatmeal, fruit, etc.The food was good, the service was prompt and the ambience was, well, hotel-like. I don't think we'll go back just because of the multitude of other, more interesting options in AdMo, Dupont, and U Street but it's not bad at all. I just is what it is!"
Dined on 3/16/2014
We made reservations because we
were attending a large meeting at the hotel and knew there would be a lot of people trying to eat at the same time. Despite having reservations, we still had to stand in the long line of people without reservations before they would seat us. There was a buffet which we all decided to choose in the interest of time. The salad bar was nice and there was a very tasty lobster bisque. The short ribs were very tough, so tough that I did not finish mine. I did not sample the other entrees. While I did not try them, there was a large selection of desserts including small size ones for people just wanting a small amount."
Dined on 1/23/2014
From the valet parking to the
attentive hostess and the awesome wait staff our group of 6 had a good time. The food was fresh The omletes were good but average as they stuck to the pan he was cooking them in. Overall I give them an 8 out of 10."

I would like to urge everyone (Democrats and Republicans) who are concerned about the future of this country to check out Senate bill 1070 and read sections C, D, E and F. You will see that the whole situation with illegal immigration, that is, what the states of New Mexico and Arizona are trying to do, is the law of this country. It is not profiling, or whatever else anyone chooses to call it.
President Barack Obama and his followers, siding with the Mexican government, are breaking that law.
The New Mexico governor has had his life threatened by a Mexican drug cartel and Obama is defending Mexico.
A president, standing in favor of a foreign government against his own country that he has sworn to defend against all criminals, foreign and domestic, is dealing in treason.

Getting teenagers to think before they drive
The Pharos-Tribune give this Rose to Lewis Cass SADD:
Indiana Students Against Destructive Decisions organization spent an afternoon this week at Lewis Cass Junior-Senior High School that would hopefully get students thinking in time for the school prom to roll around.
Statistically a dangerous night for teenagers on the roadways, the group offered a wide range of thought-provoking activities about the dangers of drunken driving. Sure the activities were fun and the kids had a good time, but it was an afternoon that hopefully put things in perspective for students. Young drivers need to understand that distracted driving — whether from texting, drinking or playing with the radio — is not a joke.
It's a lesson kids can't get enough, and we thank SADD for giving them another reminder.
Life-saver on board
The Pharos-Tribune gives this Rose to the Logansport Police Department:
We're appreciative to see the promised AEDs arrive and be installed in six Logansport Police Department squad cars. Odds are, having the devices on hand will one day save someone's life. If a police officer is first on scene — and they normally are — of someone having a cardiac arrest, they have to be prepared to take action. Having the portable machines will give them that capability.
Time is of the essence in these situations and now time will be a little more on the victim's side.
Students rack up scholarships
The Pharos-Tribune gives this Rose to all the graduating Logansport High School seniors who received scholarships during this week's award ceremony:
There were so many scholarship winners from Logansport High School that we had to devote an entire page of Thursday's paper to list them all. It was great to see so many students' hard work paying off. It's also great to see so many of our local graduates' excitement to move on and tackle the next leg of their education. We're excited to see what great things these students do in the future.
We also can't say enough about the community for offering so many scholarship opportunities to our students. You're investing in tomorrow's leaders, and we can't thank you enough.
Your turn
Thorns & Roses is our staff's compilation of the best and worst of the week, but if you have your own nominations, feel free to send them along for publication. Submissions of up to 400 words may be addressed to Pharos-Tribune, 517 E. Broadway, Logansport, IN 46947. Or you can email us at email@example.com. Don't forget to include your name, address and daytime telephone number.

In the Republic, Plato defines the life of virtue against a skeptical position that denies any significant connection between morality and happiness. Plato's defense of the view that the just life is always the happiest (and that injustice always makes one wretched) involves arguments about the nature of the soul, the meaning of happiness, the relation of individual and community, the nature of education, the limits of government and the role of art in a well-lived life. The aim of this course is to examine those arguments critically and, in the process, to deepen our understanding of what is involved in defending moral values on rational grounds.

What makes something a work of art? Must an artwork be beautiful, or can anything, given the right context, count as a work of art? What does it mean to say that some works of art are better than others? This course will examine such questions and the heated controversies they have provoked among artists, critics, philosophers, anthropologists, historians, and others.
Mode of Inquiry: Analyzing Arguments, Reasons and Values
Survey of philosophical investigations into the nature of mathematics, treating such questions as: What are numbers? Are mathematical truths discovered or invented? If discovered, how do we come to know about them? If invented, does just anything go? Do the various branches of mathematics share a common foundation? What do we mean by "foundation?" Are there limits to mathematics? Is the previous question mathematical? Readings will include selections from historical philosophers as well as contemporary philosophers and mathematicians. No prerequisites, although students might find it useful to have taken PHIL 140, or a course in computer science or mathematics.
A good paradox can reveal otherwise hidden assumptions and potential problems in the way we think about the nature of space, time, change, truth, language, and even reason itself. This course will examine some of the great classic and contemporary philosophical puzzles and paradoxes, such as Zeno's paradoxes of motion, the sorites paradoxes, the paradox of the liar, Newcomb's paradox, and the prisoner's dilemma, and it will look at a variety of ways in which philosophers address these problems and assess their significance.

GFP News - July 11, 2013
- Good Earth Dedication July 19
- State Parks Offer Weekend Events
Good Earth Dedication July 19
SIOUX FALLS, S.D. -- On July 19, South Dakota will officially dedicate Good Earth State Park at Blood Run as its first new state park in over 40 years.
"We want to preserve this culturally significant site for future generations," said Gov. Dennis Daugaard. "By setting aside this land as a state park we will protect its natural beauty and provide an excellent educational opportunity about a site that was a peaceful Native American trading and ceremonial center for centuries."
Good Earth State Park at Blood Run is located just southeast of Sioux Falls and is part of the Blood Run National Historic Landmark. The landmark lies on both sides of the Big Sioux River at the mouth of Blood Run Creek, and includes over 3,000 acres of land in South Dakota and Iowa.
The river, abundant wildlife, fertile flood plains, availability of pipestone and protection from winds made the site an important gathering place and trading center for American Indians from 1350 to 1700 A.D. During the latter part of that period, Blood Run was the largest Oneota site known to exist anywhere. Archeologists speculate that there were 6,000 to 10,000 people utilizing the village that served as a trade and ceremonial center for the entire region.
The park was officially designated as a state park during the 2013 Legislative session but the project has been in the works for several decades.
The National Park Service recognized the site's cultural and historical significance and named Blood Run a National Historic Landmark in 1970. Over the next several decades, the states of South Dakota and Iowa purchased pieces of land within the landmark.
The major acquisitions came recently in South Dakota, where over 400 acres of pristine natural property have been added to the park over the last two years.
"Partnerships have been key to this project from the beginning," said Doug Hofer, South Dakota State Parks Director. "The outpouring of support from both public and private entities has been phenomenal."
Hofer noted The Conservation Fund as an important partner. As a national non-profit organization dedicated to saving special places and land for public use, the organization acquired a key portion of the park and held it until funding was available for the state to purchase the property.
Hofer also praised the many donors that have contributed to the project, as well as the South Dakota Parks and Wildlife Foundation for their major role in leading the fundraising effort.
The dedication, which is open to the public, will take place 11 a.m. to 12 p.m. CDT on July 19 at the site. Scheduled speakers include Gov. Daugaard, GFP Secretary Jeff Vonk, members of area tribes, SD Parks and Wildlife Foundation Past President Jeff Scherschligt and Iowa Gov. Terry Branstad. Guided hikes of the new park will be offered following the ceremony.
For more information on Good Earth State Park at Blood Run, visit www.gfp.sd.gov.

He just posted it on his Facebook page saying him fighting Roberto is just a rumor....thank god, I have been waiting for some words from him for the longest! I am never paying any attention to who is he going to fight unless he himself announces it.
However I believe we will know the name soon as January closes down and if he is to fight on May 4th, his training camp and promotion should commence at the end of February or maybe even sooner. I think I'll be as surprised as when he announced hes fighting Ortiz. Didn't see that one coming!
Can you think of any other unlikely names that could end up in the mix?

BTW, I would like to see what the PPV numbers would be for a Mayweather-Garcia fight. I am of the opinion that Canelo has been a MAJOR boost to Floyd's PPV numbers. I know for me I wouldn't have bought the Mayweather-Ortiz fight if there wasn't Canelo on the undercard. It isn't so much that I like Canelo, I just have interest in watching him. I also think Canelo vs Mosley really boosted the Cotto card's PPV numbers...young champion vs old veteran.
I would not even consider buying Mayweather-RG. That fight upsets me because I don't think Robert has earned a MEGA fight like that...but throw Canelo on the undercard against a LIVE fighter like Angulo, Kirkland, or especially TROUT? That is a GREAT test for Canelo and it makes the card a must-buy for me. I would like to see the numbers Mayweather does with a dud opponent like Garcia WITHOUT the help of a great 2nd star.
Now maybe GBP steps up and gives us a good undercard fight that doesn't involve Canelo. Maybe they put Broner on there against a really live opponent. That would be great and it would make me buy a Mayweather-Garcia fight.

Academy Honors Scientific & Technical Film Achievements
Visual Effects Artists Take Center Stage
It's rare for visual effects artists to find themselves the focus of attention at a red carpet gala, despite the ever-increasing importance of effects in film and television. Unaccustomed to the chaos of flashing bulbs and chattering shutters, many of the nominees at the 12th Annual Visual Effects Society Awards on Wednesday, February 12, were understandably flustered as they approached the array of lights and cameras skirting the VES red carpet.
