Busalacchi's A Modo Mio
Online Reservations
We like this restaurant particularly when we have a theater event downtown. It's on the way; easy parking and the staff is very accommodating. Of course, the food is great, lot's of selections and prepared by those who know the art of Italian/Tuscan cooking and the price is reasonable. The sauces are wonderful and the selection of freshly made pastas is exceptional.
I really enjoyed the veal. Cooked to perfection. The ravioli were tender and delicious. We had a reservation but had the whole restaurant to ourselves.
We wanted to stroll to a restaurant nearby and decided to try Busselacchi's. What a great surprise! Service was amazing, the sangrias yummy and the food delicious and great value for money! We ate so much but couldn't stop as everything was so good (appetizers were 1/2 price so we had 4 between the 2 of us!!) We will be back!!
Each of the four of us ordered different things; each of us was delighted with our food It was a great location for an early Mother's Day lunch.
Love this place. We come down from LA for special events. I normally have a party of 8 - 12 and we are always treated well. The food is great and the atmosphere is fancy... without the fancy price. We will return.
We had a wonderful experience. Our first time at Busalacchis. The restaurant was referred to us by good friends. We have been fans of Po Pazzo for a long time. We will definitely return soon.
We went to A Modo Mio to celebrate our Mom's 91st birthday. We had a group of 10 people and we were seated in the private dining room which was a perfect fit for the occasion. Mario, our waiter, enchanted us all with his Italian singing and charm. We would recommend A Modo Mio to everyone.
The food was wonderful. Our service was also great because we had a waiter that knew everything that was on the menu and was able to explain to us what the items on the menu were. I felt like I was in Italy. It was a little loud in the restaurant because they had a charity event going on but it gave it a little more energy to the restaurant.
Love this neighborhood gem. Great food and wonderful wine and bar selections. Alberto the waiter is FANTASTIC!!!
Looking dor a new place to experience for my sons birthday we decided to head to hillcrest. We really enjoyed the food, although we do not reccomend getting the canoli dor dessert. The canoli shell was burnt and difficult to eat. Definately suggest the lobster bisque and polenta appetizer We were looking for a six o'clock reservation but could only get 6..., this was a bit Confusing since we were the only ones in the place
Been here many times and never disappointed with the experience; food or service. Be sure to check out their "happy hour" items and the days for 1/2 wine and 1/2 martini's. This is a must try Italian in Hillcrest area.
Always a treat! We come from Escondido because we love this place! Service is excellent....thanks Mario! And Joey meets and greats every guest like they are a long-lost friend....with sincerity. He knows how to work the room PLUS he jumps in when the kitchen needs help. Dad taught him well. Third time in a row for the Short-rib Lasagna for my wife. She loved it...once again. The garlic bread is fantastic. Modo Mio sauce is my favorite but it wasn't as spicy as in the past....almost as if there was no Serrano pepper in it....but all-in-all, we loved it. Told some neighbors about Busalacchi's last night and everyone's excited to try it. We'll be back soon with a crowd! - John & Beth
Busalacchi's is becoming one of our favorite places... overall amazing experience.
I recently returned home from a deployment in the Middle East and I took my wife out on a dinner date without the teenagers coming along. I reserved a table with ease using OpenTable and we were seated immediately by the hostess upon arriving at the restaurant. The food was fantastic and the service outstanding. Even though the teenagers were absent, we know they will absolutely enjoy the cuisine here. Thank you for making our date night memorable!
Good food and great service. We sat inside bot had to move more towards the entrance because of a loud boisterous party at the bar and the air codnditionng was blowing right down on our table. We like the half priced early bird appetizers befor 630pm.
My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our dinner at Busalacchi"s. The food was great, the service outstanding. We were seated in the window seat and were able to watch the sun set on the eclectic neighborhood. We will certainly return. My wife ordered the Trout- it is hard to find fresh trout on menus- the Busalacchi's coating on the trout was melt in your mouth good. I ordered the free range organic Chicken with marsala sauce and it was unbelieveable! We went on a Thursday night and our wine was half price all night.
We've been coming here since it opened, and we love it. The granchio is delicious, spaghettini with crab meat in a spicy pink sauce, with a soft shell crab on top. WOW! Service is fantastic -- we love Oscar and Mario!
Consistent great service, food quality and ambiance makes this a top favorite
Excellent food ,service and atmosphere on the patio
The music was very fun and relaxing on the patio. The ambiance was comfortable and the service was good. I really liked how they offered valet parking. The food was a bit pricey for what I felt that I got. The portion was good, but the flavors didn't meld together. The prosciutto chicken was tasty, tender, and juicy and all of the sides (roasted tomato, boiled greens, and sweet potato) didn't work well together. The sauce for the chicken was a bit grainy and the sweet potato mash was not to my taste. The short ribs were tasty and fall-off-the-bone tender but I wasn't a fan of the sauce. The risotto was too strong and overpowered the rest of the dish. Asparagus was perfectly cooked. Will be back again for the music on the patio!
We started at the indoor-outdoor bar with a signature martini, cocktails, or half-price wine by the glass (a happy hour special). Moving to our table, which was against the banquette, we had ample room to separate us from customers on either side. We ordered more wine and a trio of half-price appetizers -- bruschetta, calamari, and polenta -- and were well pleased by each. My friends ordered various pastas -- a chicken parmigiana with pasta, clams with pasta, soft-shell crab with pasta -- while I enjoyed the veal piccata served with spinach and a broiled tomato. We were too full for dessert but the decaf cappuccino was good. I chased it with a snifter of the rare, herbal Green Chartreuse; only 3 monks know the formula. Excellent restaurant!
Took my wife and 35 year old daughter to dinner and we greatly enjoyed the experience. Friendly staff, excellent food and great music.....the wine was good and varied!
The restaurant has specials that make it more enjoyable for early dining. The food is delicious, well prepared and served to perfection. My only complaint, the server forgot to service our table with cheese when the food was served. The waiter had to remind the server that this is something he has to do. Appetizers are outstanding and what we think is one of the highlights of the overall menu. Good food with good service makes for an enjoyable evening.
We had never been to this restaurant before, but will sure to go back. Everything was perfect, the food, the service, the ambiance. The Granchio was exquisite. I had high hopes for this dish and it was all that I had imagined and more! The Blueberry Lavender Lemonade cocktail was divine. I could go on, but how many times can you say the same thing..delicious.
I loved this place. It was our first time, although it was a little too loud, the food and servers made up the whole ambiance. Everything we ordered was very delicious. I love Italian dish and so far, this is my top one at the moment. I will surely come back.
seated promptly, pay parking available or valet-hard to find street parking. great outdoor patio with a piano man. great roasted beet salad and lobster bisque.
The menu is wonderful with variety and flavor. Sat out in the patio and it was delightful. I'll be back!
Try the Veal Scaloppini, it is the best you will find anyplace. The wine list is good, even by the glass and everything is very reasonably priced. Service is attentive but only when you want it. A true Italian neighborhood gem.
Took my girlfriend there for her birthday dinner. We left super full and we were both very pleased with everything.
We live in the neighborhood, this is our favorite dining establishment for many reasons. It appears to be very well managed, that is, there is consistency at every level. The hostess Nicole is always smiling, kind, and willing to find you your desired seat. The bartenders Louis andCharles are terrific at not only making drinks but remembering your name, they create a very classy but yet "neighborhood" feel. Oscar, who manages the dining room is always helpful, nice, and knowledgeable about the food. The food is fantastic, we especially like how you can choose your own homemade pasta and then choose your sauce. Their veal, fish, and lasagna are also top notch.
We went to the old location for years and then they closed for a long time and we found other favorites to go to. We finally got around to trying the new place. We got there at 7:30 on a Sunday night and the staff looked pretty wiped out. It sounded like they had had a really busy day. So we had good service but they all looked like they were ready to call it a night. We really liked the patio and the bar. The new restaurant is beautiful. The food was different but just as good as we remembered. We miss the old staff, but they've probably retired by now. Will try again.
As usual this restaurant surpasses all others in the neighborhood. The food preparation and service are always spot on and the specials always interesting. The outdoor terrace is a nice Oasis in an otherwise busy restaurant neighborhood.
Had a really great experience with Busalacchi's. Was there for a first date and they set us up very nicely. Very good wine selection and both the indoor and outdoor seating are both very nice for a special occasion. Food was delicious and portions were good for the prices. Great bar as well
I love this restaurant. This week I took 3 friends for Restaurant Week and we all loved our meals. We were eating out of each other's plates. Constine with potato latke and short rib beef is simply amazing. All pasta is fresh and fish never smells fishy. Make a reservation to sit outside, near a heater and you will feel like you are in Italy. Try it, you'll like it!
Excellent food and a great atmosphere!! I love the young and modern feel of the whole place but the pleasant surprise of classic authentic Italian food!
The cuisine had hints of traditional Italian cooking, but with a new refreshing twist. The eggplant imbotitti was an interesting, lighter twist on eggplant parmigiana. The service was both friendly and efficient. We went throught a lot of water, but the water bottle never ran dry. A definite 'thumbs up'!
Thank you, Busalachhi's, for a gratifying dining experience. Restaurant week menu was exquisite - the eggplant dish + butternut squash ravioli, wine suggestions from our delightful server, Diego, and the dessert bites, were above the quality and flavor than we expected. It was our first visit to a Busallacchi's restaurant, and we had recently had a terrible dining experience for SDRW with a downtown "celebrity chef" owned restaurant. You made us believe in quality again!
We decided to dine here for Restaurant week, we walked in and it was really cozy, we actually choose Monday 9/23/13 @ 6:00 p.m.and it was nice and quite really friendly environment. however I'm not sure if they are use to Mexican's coming in to dine their, but I found it odd that we were seated in a small table in the corner, and when another couple came in they got seated in a nice big table and great location, our waiter was friendly at first, but I guess my undecided mind upset him, he kept insisting I order a bottle of wine, it was kinda rude about it, finally I had to say it , look someone has to stay sober and drive and he back off, I kept telling him I am ok,
It wlas my first visit, and I'll definitely be back. An all around excellent night.
We have eaten at Modo Mio twice recently. The outside patio is stylish and comfortable and a great place to eat night or day. The food and service are excellent. Inside it is a bit noisy. The bruschetta is a treat and there are several wonderful home made pasta dishes. Great Italian wine selection too!
been here several times, no let down-food always great, service great , place great.
I picked this place for one of our girls' weekly dinners and was pleasantly surprised. We got there about 30 min before happy hour ended and ordered martinis and appetizers all which were really yummy!! For the dinner portion, I had the spaghettini with crab which was cooked to perfection! Will definitely be coming back here!
Selective menu. Friendly and informative wait staff. Food is worthy of Boston's Italian North End.
Everything was good, seated on time. Food was prepared well and timely. Pasta dish was very small, about 1 cup including sauce which was noteworthy. At least we had room for dessert!
WOW WOW WOW, came in Wednesday night with some friends to try the new menu and it was delicious. We had the salmon entree, the carpaccio, the caprese salad, the beet salad, the ahi appetizer, the short rib on potato pancakes and the eggplant and they were all delicious. Great service too
1/2 price Qupe Maxtap wines by the glass. Great deal with a well cooked bowl of pasta. Nice experience with good friends.
i always forget about this place because it is such a gem. it has amazing food with a neighborhood atmosphere. service is amazing everyone is sooooo nice and knows the food and drinks!!!! Need to go here more!!! and they have a happy hour menu that rocks!!
we were celebrating a birthday and it was just perfect. food was great and loved the live music! would definitely return.
From check-in to receiving our bill. The overall experience was pleasant! I highly recommend Busalacchi's for any special occasion.
When the waiter asked us for drinks--I said we would like the sangiovese--he said he doubt3d they had it and went to see. To me--wrong attitude--then came back with the bottle and I said I was surprised. We said hold another if it was short stock--he said they had several cases--and I said when you first told me it was doubtful that it was in stock I started looking for another wine. He said he was sorry about what he said. The food was great. The wine prices are way too high though.

Forums >Technical Support>What does the graphing package have against March?
Just a purely curiosity-driven question....any idea why the graphing package doesn't label March?

It's a 5k. It hurt like hell...then I tried to pick it up. The end.
I have no idea why March is skipped. It could be a bug in the graphing software. I'll look into it this fall when I redo the training log.
Not my usual look
Okay, I've got a more boring, geeky answer, based solely on my trial and error, plus speculation.
The software determines the number of pixels required to display the x-axis labels. If the labels require more pixels than are are allocated in the graph's space, it cuts out some labels, attempting to distribute the remaining ones as evenly as possible. It just happens to cut out every 12th one in your example, but here are others:
31 months
32 months
33 months
It might be the Ides of Fish or something, though.
Well at least someone here is making relevance to the subject.

As most of you know I have been involved with the local art scene in Boca Grande for most of my adult life. I have been a member of the Boca Grande Art Alliance since its beginning and was even president for a year, teaching classes and exhibiting my work at the center. I am incredibly grateful for the support that I am shown by this community and I never take it for granted. The island has supported my artistic efforts throughout my life and I am proud to say that at least three generations of islanders collect my hand-colored etchings and acrylic paintings.
I have always shared my experience with children in many ways, through visits to the schools, through my "Follow the Fish" painting projects, and with my Kids Summer Art Camps throughout the years. I love teaching kids, they are all essence, unafraid to try new things and amazingly full of creativity. It's fun to watch, and it's inspiring to see what they come up with when you show them a new technique.
I decided to teach the Swayze Kids Art Adventure in my studio this year so that the kids could have a real life artist's studio experience. I wanted to be able to teach printmaking and wanted them to have access to my etching press and be able to spread out while they create their artwork. I set up two weeks of camp, advertised it, kept it reasonably priced and started to gets calls from parents. Then I got the most amazing call.
An elderly gentleman, who does not want to be identified, called to ask about my camp. He said that he was 90 years old, was spending a year's sabbatical on the island because he loved it here, then mentioned that he had noticed my various community service projects and would like to sponsor my camp. The news was a Godsend to me. I always worry about missing creative children because of money issues so I called four area teachers and they helped me fill my camps with children in need of scholarships.
Although this gentleman wants to remain anonymous, I hope he reads the paper because I just want to say a big giant THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart and from the families that you helped. Thanks to you, our "Camp Angel," and to the caring teachers of the community who found the students, 22 scholarships were given out for the four sessions of Art Adventure Camp! The children that you sponsored in my art camp had a fantastic creative time and will take the memories of that with them for the rest of their lives. You are an angel. THANK YOU!

A man accused of killing his cousin at shooting two other men at a rural Mercedes bar faced a judge alongside his girlfriend.
Both Gabriel Hernandez and Ana Bertha Salinas appeared before a judge at the Hidalgo County Jail on Monday morning.
Hernandez is accused of killing his cousin Luis Fernando Lara and shooting two more men at the La Puerta Negra bar just outside of Mercedes.
An exact motive is not clear but deputies arrested Salinas after learning that she tried to get rid of the murder weapon.
Hernandez remains in custody under $1.5 million dollars in bonds for murder and attempted capital murder charges.
Salinas is behind bars under a $100,000 dollar bond for a tampering with evidence charge.

Listen to Lil Wayne on iHeartRadio
(WENN) - Lil Wayne has accused the AmericanAirlines Arena in Miami, Florida, of booting him out of the venue during a basketball game on Sunday.
The star was among the sports fans who turned out to watch the showdown between the Miami Heat and the Los Angeles Lakers, but claims he was asked to leave early by police officers.
After he was escorted out, the hip-hop star wrote in a post on his Twitter page:
So I'm @ da Heat game right, rootin 4 da Lakers kuz dats my team & would u believe they got police 2 make me leave?! Wow! F#€k da Heat
— Lil Wayne WEEZY F (@LilTunechi) February 10, 2013
Online reports suggest the hip-hop star was involved in an altercation with a rival fan before he was allegedly shown out.
A spokesperson for the Miami Heat tells TMZ, "In response to your inquiry, please note that Lil Wayne was not ejected from the building. He chose to leave."

DES MOINES, IOWA (AP) -- A Senate subcommittee approved a medical marijuana bill Monday, but the panel's chairman, Iowa City Sen. Joe Bolkcom, says the proposal likely won't go further because there isn't support for it in a full committee.
The proposal to legalize marijuana for medical use likely is dead for this session.
The bill would allow patients with a qualifying condition, such as cancer, to get a prescription for medical marijuana. Nonprofit dispensaries could provide marijuana to eligible patients.
Bill advocates with illnesses like multiple sclerosis and post-traumatic stress disorder testified Monday that marijuana was a better alternative to synthetic prescription drugs.
Republican subcommittee member Sen. Joni Ernst opposed the bill, saying it would be difficult to ensure dispensaries wouldn't sell marijuana to people without a prescription.
A House subcommittee has rejected a similar bill.

Candidate Profiles: Carlton County Board of Commissioners District 4 (special election to fill two-year term ending Dec. 31, 2014) Robert (Bob) Olean • Susan Zmyslony
Question 1: How does your past experience, job or education qualify you to serve on the County Board?
Question 2: What do you believe the county's role should be in economic development?
Question 3: What is the best plan to keep property taxes in check but to continue to provide essential services that county residents want and need?
Robert (Bob) Olean
Question 1:
I served on active duty with the United States Marine Corps and was honorably discharged with rank of Sgt. E-5 Leadership and discipline were key to my success with the military. I was employed by I.S.D. #93, Carlton School for 34 years, retiring as head of transportation. Budgets, schedules, discipline, employee relations, mechanical repairs, drug and alcohol testing were everyday routine. I was a member of Teamsters Local 346 for over 33 years. I also have over 11 years of service with Twin Lakes Township as a supervisor where budgets, roads, personnel, and serving the public were daily tasks. I am a past president and trail coordinator of the Wood City Riders Snowmobile Club. I was also past president and continue to be an active member of the National Wild Turkey Federation Carlton County Cutters Chapter and have been a 20 year member of the Minnesota Deer Hunters Association. Past member of the Carlton Volunteer Fire Department and retired after 12 years as the 1st Assistatnt Fire Chief. In addition, having served two years as Carlton County Commissioner, I have dealt with budgets, personnel, policy
and procedures, and the everyday function of county
Question 2:
Carlton County has a very active Economic Development Authority and through this agency we create new business, and expand existing business that increases employees and a larger tax base. Economic Development is good business for the county and for the most part self-sustaining. A strong foundation creates future county stability.
Question 3:
The use of proper budgeting with good checks and balances, along with creation of new businesses and industry and with an increased work force will lead to new residential housing in a safe environment and gives more strength to our tax base and helps keep the county services at levels that are wanted and needed.
Susan Zmyslony
Question 1:
Through my varied experiences, which include the Barnum School Board, Epilepsy Foundation, Northern Lights Interagency Council, Carlton County Agriculture and Industry Association, Walmart and volunteer with the Barnum flood relief center, I understand working with people to fulfill expectations and goals. I will bring dedication, a strong commitment to the board and the people, and a promise to fulfill all terms and expectations required of the position of County Commissioner. I look forward to tackling the tough budgetary decisions that will be confronting us in the future.
Question 2:
The County's role should be one as a leader in economic development. Continued support to Carlton County's Economic Development Director is essential, as this position is instrumental in the pursuit of grants for growth and sustainability. We need to continue to engage the citizens of the county and invest our energy to ensure growth within the region. It is through growth we stabilize our property taxes and provide good jobs for the people of our county. Thoughtful, reflective decision-making processes need to occur to work towards a richer quality of life in our county.
Question 3:
The county needs to control escalating property taxes while continuing to provide effective, quality services. We need to work together to find a balanced solution to achieve deficit reduction in a thoughtful way that facilitates, not undermines, economic growth. We need to determine where the money is going, whether the money spent is worthwhile and what the return is on our investment. Fiscal responsibility and tough choices are required to achieve a balanced budget. Many counties are experiencing the same problems as Carlton County and therefore collaboration with cities, townships and other counties is essential to address the issues of economic growth. We need to move from challenges to solutions and become success stories in economic

This article provides insufficient context for those unfamiliar with the subject. (November 2013) |
Verificationism is a philosophical attitude that aims to formulate criteria of meaningfulness and to develop processes permitting unambiguous assessment of a theory's falsity or truth. Although verificationist principles of a general sort—grounding scientific theory in some verifiable empiricism—are found retrospectively even with the American pragmatist C S Pierce and with the French conventionalist Pierre Duhem[1] who fostered instrumentalism,[2] the vigorous program termed verificationism was launched by the logical positivists who, emerging from Berlin Circle and Vienna Circle in the 1920s, sought epistemology whereby philosophy discourse would be meaningful, on par with empirical sciences.
Initially, logical positivists sought a universal language whereby both ordinary language and physics could be axiomatized and reduced to symbolic logic while grounded on empiricism. Logical positivists' verifiability principle—that only statements logically or empirically verifiable are cognitively meaningful—rendered theology, metaphysics, and evaluative judgements, such as ethics and aesthetics, cognitively meaningless "pseudostatements", merely emotive or such. Although varying by exact descriptions proposed, the crucial components of this verificationism program, which extended into the 1960s, were the verifiability criterion, the analytic/synthetic gap, and the observation/theory gap.[3]
Logical positivists garnered the verifiability criterion of cognitive meaningfulness from young Ludwig Wittgenstein's philosophy of language posed in his 1921 book Tractatus,[4] and sought logicist reduction of mathematics to logic led by Bertrand Russell. Seeking grounding in such empiricism as of David Hume,[5] August Comte, and Ernst Mach—along with the positivism of the latter two—they borrowed some perspectives from Immanuel Kant, and found the exemplar of science to be Albert Einstein's general theory of relativity.
Early, some logical positivists within Vienna Circle recognized that the verifiability criterion was too stringent.[6] Rudolf Carnap and Otto Neurath led a faction seeking "liberalization of empiricism", a faction that also switched from Mach's phenomenalism—which accorded the mind virtually no power to know objects, and restricted scientific talk to phenomena as experienced patterns of sensations—to Neurath's physicalism,[6] which shifts talk to spatiotemporal, publicly observable objects and events.[7]
Neurath also held that verification essentially compares statements to other statements, rather than statements directly to experience.[7] And Carnap suggested that empiricism's basis is but pragmatic.[6] In 1936, Carnap sought a switch from verification to confirmation, as an unrestricted generalization cannot be verified but, according to Carnap, can confirmed.[6] Eventually, A J Ayer proposed two types of verification—strong and weak—while weak verification would be obtainable when a proposition is rendered probable. Meanwhile, Carnap sought to axiomatize a universal law's probability as a "degree of confirmation".[8]
Despite employing abundant logical and mathematical tools to formalize a universal law's probability as "degree of confirmation", Rudolf Carnap never succeeded in this endeavor.[8] In all of Carnap's formulations, a universal law's degree of confirmation is always zero.[8] Carl Hempel, who had studied with Hans Reichenbach in Berlin Circle but was a protégé of Carnap in Vienna Circle, emigrated, as did Carnap and Reichenbach, to America. The three brought the movement to a milder stance, distinguishable as logical empiricism. Hempel's paradox of the ravens—aka, paradox of confirmation—found that an observation report confirming even one case of a universal law's prediction could not be logically formalized without an apparent absurdity.
The 1951 article "Two dogmas of empiricism", by Willard Van Orman Quine, widely regarded as the most important philosophy article of the 20th century, attacked the analytic/synthetic division and apparently rendered the verificationist program untenable. Carl Hempel, one of verificationism's greatest internal critics, had recently concluded the same as to the verifiability criterion.[3] In 1958, Norwood Hanson explained that even direct observations must be collected, sorted, and reported with guidance and constraint by theory, which sets a horizon of expectation and interpretation, how observational reports, never neutral, are laden with theory.[9]
Karl Popper's 1959 book proposing falsificationism, originally published in German in 1934, reached the Anglosphere and was soon mistaken for a new type of verificationism,[4][10] yet refuted verificationism.[2][4][10] Falsificationism's demarcation falsifiable grants a theory the status scientific—simply, empirically testable—not the status meaningful, a status that Popper did not aim to arbiter.[4] Popper found no scientific theory either verifiable or, as in Carnap's "liberalization of empiricism", confirmable,[4][11] and found unscientific, metaphysical, ethical, and aesthetic statements often rich in meaning while also underpinning or fueling science as the origin of scientific theories.[4][12]
Thomas Kuhn's landmark book of 1962, The Structure of Scientific Revolutions—which identified paradigms of science overturned by revolutionary science within fundamental physics, that is, fundamental science—critically destabilized confidence in scientific foundationalism,[13] commonly if erroneously attributed to verificationism.[14] Popper, who had long claimed to have killed verificationism but recognized that some would confuse his falsificationism for more of it,[10] was knighted in 1965. At 1967, John Passmore, a leading historian of 20th-century philosophy, wrote, "Logical positivism is dead, or as dead as a philosophical movement ever becomes"—a general view among philosophers.[15] Logical positivism's fall heralded postpositivism, where Popper's view of human knowledge as hypothetical, continually growing, and open to change ascended,[10] and verificationism became mostly maligned.[1]
Although Karl Popper's falsificationism became soon widely criticized by philosophers, Popper has been the only philosopher of science often praised by scientists,[11] whereas verificationists have been likened to economists of the 19th century who took circuitous, protracted measures to refuse falsification, that is, refutation, of their preconceived principles.[16] Still, logical positivists practiced Popper's principles—conjecturing and refuting—until they ran their course, catapulting Popper, initially a contentious misfit, to carry the richest philosophy out of interwar Vienna.[10] And his falsificationism, as did verificationism, poses a criterion, falsifiability, to ensure that empiricism anchors scientific theory.[1]
In a 1979 interview, A J Ayer, who had introduced logical positivism to the Anglosphere in the 1930s, was asked what he saw as its main defects, and answered that "nearly all of it was false".[15] Still, he soon admitted still holding "the same general approach".[15] The "general approach" of empiricism and reductionism—whereby mental phenomena resolve to the material or physical, and philosophical questions largely resolve to ones of language and meaning—has run through Western philosophy since the 17th century and lived beyond logical positivism's fall.[15] In 1977, Ayer had noted, "The verification principle is seldom mentioned and when it is mentioned it is usually scorned; it continues, however, to be put to work. The attitude of many philosophers reminds me of the relationship between Pip and Magwitch in Dickens's Great Expectations. They have lived on the money, but are ashamed to acknowledge its source".[1] Nearing the 21st century, the vague concept of verification criteria—in varying forms varying from logical positivists' verificationism—was in some rehabilitation by Bas van Fraassen, Michael Dummett, Crispin Wright, Christopher Peacocke, David Wiggins, Richard Rorty, and others.[1]

Hempel himself attained a certain degree of prominence as a critic of this movement. Language, Truth and Logic (1936; 2nd edition, 1946), authored by A J Ayer, offers a lucid exposition of the movement, which was—with certain variations—based upon the analytic/synthetic distinction, the observational/theoretical distinction, and the verifiability criterion of meaningfulness.
Hempel (1950, 1951), meanwhile, demonstrated that the verifiability criterion could not be sustained. Since it restricts empirical knowledge to observation sentences and their deductive consequences, scientific theories are reduced to logical constructions from observables. In a series of studies about cognitive significance and empirical testability, he demonstrated that the verifiability criterion implies that existential generalizations are meaningful, but that universal generalizations are not, even though they include general laws, the principal objects of scientific discovery. Hypotheses about relative frequencies in finite sequences are meaningful, but hypotheses concerning limits in infinite sequences are not. The verifiability criterion thus imposed a standard that was too strong to accommodate the characteristic claims of science and was not justifiable". - ^ a b c d e f Karl Popper, ch 4, subch "Science: Conjectures and refutations", in Andrew Bailey, ed, First Philosophy: Fundamental Problems and Readings in Philosophy, 2nd edn (Peterborough Ontario: Broadview Press, 2011), pp 338–42.

In this he joined Neurath whose long-standing anti-foundationalism is evident from his famous simile likening scientists to sailors who have to repair their boat without ever being able to pull into dry dock (1932b). Their positions contrasted at least prima facie with that of Schlick (1934) who explicitly defended the idea of foundations in the Circle's protocol-sentence debate. Even Schlick conceded, however, that all scientific statements were fallible ones, so his position on foundationalism was by no means the traditional one. The point of his 'foundations' remained less than wholly clear and different interpretation of it have been put forward. ... While all in the Circle thus recognized as futile the attempt to restore certainty to scientific knowledge claims, not all members embraced positions that rejected foundationalism tout court. Clearly, however, attributing foundationalist ambitions to the Circle as a whole constitutes a total misunderstanding of its internal dynamics and historical development, if it does not bespeak wilfull ignorance. At most, a foundationalist faction around Schlick can be distinguished from the so-called left wing whose members pioneered anti-foundationalism with regard to both the empirical and formal sciences" [Thomas Uebel, "Vienna Circle", sec "3.3 Reductionism and foundationalism: Two criticisms partly rebutted", in Edward N Zalta, ed, The Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy (Summer 2012 edn)].

The Barack Obama who stood on the debate stage in Denver Wednesday night was virtually unrecognizable to the person who swept to victory in 2008 or even the man who had built a narrow-but-clear edge in the 2012 race.
In the wake of the debate, Democrats conceded that former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney had dominated the proceedings and quickly moved on to a deeper — and harder to answer — question: What the hell was wrong with the president?
Theories abound — up to an including that Obama, who had done debate prep in Las Vegas, struggled to adjust to Denver's altitude. (Not kidding. That is a theory espoused by none other than former Vice President Al Gore.)
Below we take on a few of the likeliest reasons for Obama's out-of-character performance — culled from conversations with Democratic strategists and our own observations.
* He's not used to being challenged: For all of the chatter that President Obama loves to surround himself with people willing to disagree with him, the truth of the matter is that being the leader of the free world means that what you say goes pretty much all the time. And, being challenged by staff — no matter how senior those staff might be — is not the same thing as being directly confronted by someone at your level and who wants your job. Obama seemed to vacillate between flummoxed and annoyed that Romney was contradicting almost every assertion he tried to make. Sidebar: That "Well, I am the president" tendency goes a long way to explaining why incumbents — George W. Bush, Ronald Reagan, Jimmy Carter — tend to be regarded as losers in the first general election debate.
* He was tired: Obama looked world-weary at best and downright grim at worst during the debate. And, his inability (or unwillingness) to go after Romney's record — or rebut some of Romney's claims about his own — gave off the impression that Obama just wasn't well prepared enough to do so. It's understandable for a president to be a little worn down — he is the president after all — but it's up to he and his staff to understand that these debates matter a lot and that just assuming you will be able to fake it until you make it isn't good enough.
* He's not that good a debater: Over the weekend, Obama told a crowd in Nevada that he was only an "okay" debater. At the time, the political world rolled its eyes — chalking it up the sort of expectation lowering that is now de rigeur in these sorts of political moments. Turns out, Obama might have been giving an honest assessment of his debate abilities. As last night's debate was unfolding, we thought back to the 2008 general election debates where Obama was solid but far from spectacular. Or even to the 2008 primary debates where, for the most part, then Sen. Hillary Clinton outperformed him. Obama is, without question, the most gifted speaker in politics right now. (Bill Clinton is not, technically, in politics at the moment.) But, as a debater, he is not in that same elite class.
* He got screwed by Jim Lehrer: On the morning after the debate, the most prominent talking point on the left was that moderator Jim Lehrer had aided and abetted Romney's victory by refusing to enforce the rules of the debate or inject facts when the Republican was clearly straying from them. While the debate was clearly not Lehrer's best moment, it's hard to lay all the blame for Obama's poor performance at the moderator's feet. If Obama felt like Lehrer wasn't doing enough to fact-check Romney in real time, why didn't he take it upon himself to do it?

Should Welfare Recipients Be Tested for Drugs? >
Government Programs Should Not Encourage Lifelong Dependency
We are overdue to renew welfare reform efforts and make additional gains
December 15, 2011
Drug testing ensures that welfare truly helps those in need. One of the most significant substantive accomplishments coming out of the 1994 Republican takeover of Congress was welfare reform. In 1996, Congress passed—and President Clinton signed—the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Act. This cut welfare rolls from 4.6 million families receiving cash benefits in 1996 to 2.1 million in 2002 and resulted in significantly more people getting jobs or participating in job-training programs. Still, we are overdue to renew welfare reform efforts and make additional gains.
[Neither Left Nor Right Have Answer to Economic Conundrum.]
One provision in every renewed welfare reform effort should be to require recipients to undergo random drug tests as a condition of receiving benefits. The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation reported in 2007 that approximately 20 percent of Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) recipients reported having used an illicit drug at least once in the past year, and at least 5 percent admitted that they had a substance addiction.
Random testing would accomplish two vital goals: 1) help those recipients with drug problems conquer them by identifying the problem, offering treatment, and not paying them until they get help; and 2) not waste precious taxpayer dollars on buying drugs.
Critics have argued that mandatory drug testing is an unfair attack on the poor, but the most compelling reason to require it is to truly help those affected. And it's requiring no more than millions of private employers require of employees in order for them to work for a paycheck.
Requiring screenings would give addicts a key incentive to seek help so that they can once again be healthy, support their own families, and make positive contributions to our society. Screenings would identify cases of dependency and would be paired with treatment programs to directly address the single biggest problem in their lives.
Just think if it were a matter of giving a friend or brother a loan to help them out in tough times. Would any of us do this knowing that he had a serious drug problem and not first demanding and helping him seek treatment to overcome his addiction? If we did, would that represent true love, care, and compassion?
Even the strongest supporters of welfare would have to agree that government programs should not encourage lifelong dependency, but should instead provide a limited safety net that still encourages people to return to a self-sufficient way of life. Of course there's a second reason to do this—our responsibility to the taxpayer. Every welfare dollar that goes toward one recipient's drug habit is one less dollar that goes toward a child in need or a family that would spend that money on real needs.
America is facing a national debt of more than $14 trillion. We simply can't afford for government agencies to be careless in how they spend our tax dollars. And with potentially billions of dollars of welfare funds ending up in the wrong places or being spent on illegal drugs, the least we can do is make sure that money is going where it's actually supposed to go. No one doubts that many of our fellow Americans are facing some incredible challenges. With an economy on life support, debt at crisis levels, and a staggering number of unemployed, we must all collectively do a better job of helping our neighbors in need and being good stewards with limited means. Common-sense welfare reform, including drug testing for recipients, is a vital step in the right direction.

North Adams Transcript
ADAMS -- Connecting the dots between real world jobs and the subjects of math and science was the focus in sixth grade classrooms at C.T. Plunkett Elementary School on Friday.
Students at the school were among the first in the county to receive a visit from the state Department of Elementary and Secondary Education's DIGITS program, which aims to spark interest in the fields of science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) by bringing professionals into the classroom to talk about their careers.
"You can't do many jobs today without science and math," Michael Wojtaszek, 12, said following a presentation by volunteer Will Bourdon, a systems engineer at General Dynamics in Pittsfield.
Bourdon, a graduate of Hoosac Valley, talked to students about the importance of education, especially the role of science and math classes.
"I took just one engineering class in high school and it changed my life," he said, noting how at one point he was close to failing out of school.
The class -- a course in basic electricity -- changed his direction and led him first to Berkshire Community College and then to the Rochester Institute of Technology.
"The program is aimed at getting information about STEM jobs to kids at an early age," Bourdon said. "The state wants to encourage a larger number of students to go into these fields.
Volunteers, like Bourdon, known as DIGITS Ambassadors, are a key part of the program, which was brought to the Berkshires by the Berkshire STEM Pipeline and the Berkshire Compact.
"The DIGITS program has been around for several years, but before now it hasn't reached out to the Berkshire County," Monica Joslin, dean of academic affairs at MCLA said Friday. "We have a representative from General Dynamics who is on our STEM Pipeline steering committee, so it was wonderful that we could tap into that connection and bring some wonderful volunteers into local classrooms."
She said the DIGITS program aligns perfectly with the goals of the pipeline and Berkshire Compact.
"It's all about access," she said. "We want students to have the opportunity to connect and study how the science fields are applied in the real world. We want them to be inspired and learn about future career opportunities."
In April, volunteers will visit sixth graders in North Adams and Dalton schools as well.
"Studies and assessments have shown that sixth grade really is an appropriate target [group] to reach out to about the STEM fields," Joslin said. "Students in this grade are preparing to go into middle school and it's important to get them to think about their educational paths and to encourage them to continue their interest in the science fields"

Sheriff Ray Owens (Arnold Schwarzenegger), left, and Lewis Dinkum (Johnny Knoxville)
The Last Stand is the vehicle that former California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger selected to make his return as an action-film star. If this is how he plans to resume his acting career, Schwarzenegger should seriously consider a return to politics.
What passes as the plot for this stinker has him playing the sheriff of a sleepy little town on the Mexican border. It's not just sleepy but almost comatose, because most of the townspeople have left on a weekend trip for a high-school football game.
The quiet is disrupted when the town becomes the spot where the escaped leader of a drug cartel wants to drive his stolen missilelike sports car across the border. Only the sheriff, his deputies and a couple of rejects from The Magnificent Seven can stop him.
There are so many problems with this movie that even a monthlong filibuster couldn't hit them all, but here are the really low points:
• Writers Andrew Knauer and Jeffrey Nachmanoff set up an absurd premise and make stupid moves just to keep the plot going. • The film grinds to a halt when an FBI agent (Forest Whitaker) explains an idiotic plot point by saying the drug boss is a part-time race-car driver. This is the only reason the drug lord blows through the desert in a car that might as well have a flashing light on top that says, "Escapee Inside"?
• For the setup of a High Noon-style standoff, it is explained that only two streets go through town. No one seems to think about how it would have been easier just to go around the 30 buildings in the burg.
• Director Jee-woon Kim treats Schwarzenegger as if he is 30 rather than 65. Instead of playing off the dry humor that has become a Schwarzenegger trademark, the director acts as if he has Jason Statham playing the small-town hero. But Schwarzenegger doesn't even move as well as Jason Alexander. Even with sharp editing, Schwarzenegger looks as if he is walking through mud while tied to the dead weight of all the work that didn't get done during his days in office.
• Johnny Knoxville continues to prove that, unless a car battery is connected to his manhood, he has no acting skills. The only way Knoxville can play his character, a gun lover, is by channeling Murdock from The A-Team. Knoxville at least proves there are worse actors than Schwarzenegger.
• The film is loaded with stereotypes and poorly staged action scenes. The dialogue is laughable when it's supposed to be serious and bland when it's supposed to be funny.
Schwarzenegger always told fans that he'd be back. The Last Stand proves he was making a threat, not a promise. Any such future movies should be terminated.

The 2012 Computex is coming up. This year, ENERMAX will present its new product sector - liquid-cooling. We will showcase our new all-in-one liquid cooling system, together with new patented liquid cooling design. So please wait for the exciting moment and behold! As a leader in the power supply industry, ENERMAX will unveil the new PLATIMAX models - the higher wattage of 1350W and 1700W! In addition, more new industrial power series will be debuted, including the refreshing 2500W LED Power. Welcome to our booth at TWTC Nangang Exhibition Hall, 1st floor, No. I-1110.
It is different from the 620. As this is not made by Asetek or Coolit. Not sure who the OEM is or Enermax making it themselves. Enermax fans are not terrible, they are very quiet and make very good fans for heatsinks.
i`ve got apploish vegas 120 and a lot of scythe gentle taphoon 1150-1850 on 900prm scythe much better, qiueter and better air flow if you`ll twist applosh, you can hear some stange noise from motor but taphoon in such situation is qiuet
From what or where do you garner this information? Sure looks like an Asetek model to me. Very similar to the 620 line. Looks like the same installation method is used on the CPU, too. It would seem that Asetek should have a patent on that installation method.
No where close to what Asetek mount is like. Not close at all. I got the info direct from Asetek. Enermax is not part of the Asetek OEM line. I got the TB series fans, and have been very quiet and perform very well on my rad for years.
Basically, what everyone do, they stick their name on it and replace the fan with their own. Booooooring
