Tekton Apologetics on the "Lord Liar or Lunatic" ArgumentJanuary 7, 2008 — Deacon Duncan
In an article entitled "The Trilemma. Lord Liar or Lunatic?," J. P. Holding of Tekton Apologetics ministries attempts to rescue CS Lewis's most famous argument for the deity of Christ from its inherent flaws. He starts with a discussion of ways in which this argument has admittedly been abused by apologists, but claims that skeptics have an even worse record.
On the other hand, attempts to "refute" it have tried to fuddle the argument by adding one or more options, or by saying that the options already stated are not clear enough – which is itself rather a poor methodology!
The scare quotes around "refute" are a nice touch. Let's see if Holding can do any better than Lewis did.
To argue that the trilemma is refuted by showing the horns not to be clear-cut and distinct possibilities is correct ONLY if one can prove ALL of the horns to be such. But, for example, if only two of the horns are "fuzzy" but the third one "tight", then the trilemma has simply converted to a powerful dilemma and the problem is still in our faces. At the same time, arguing that the trilemma is refuted by showing that there are more than three possibilities simply turns it from a bothersome trilemma into a bothersome tetralemma. Skeptics who continually say that the trilemma is "refuted" whenever another option is added miss the point. Only the "tri" part is refuted – the "lemma" is still there, whether is a tri-, a quadra-, a quinto-, or whatever number you please!
The problem is not that the terms of the "trilemma" are too fuzzy, nor is it that skeptics have any particular problem with the possibility that Jesus was deluded and/or dishonest to at least some degree. The problem with Lewis's "trilemma" is that it creates a false trichotomy by oversimplifying the theological issues involved. JP Holding tries to rescue Lewis's argument by breaking it down from three choices into four choices. Unfortunately, like Lewis, Holding creates a series of false dichotomies that fail to accurately represent the realities involved.
- Either Jesus claimed to be divine, or He did not. If He did not, words were put in his mouth by someone else. We have already addressed this in this essay. If He did make such claims, then:
- Either Jesus was right about those claims, or He was wrong. If He was right, Christianity is true. If He was wrong, then –
- He either knew He was wrong, or did not know He was wrong. The first phrase is the "liar" option of the trilemma. As for the second:
- If He did not know he was wrong, He lacked knowledge because of an error in judgment. Errors in judgment have only two sources: A properly working mind, or an improperly working mind. The latter is the "lunatic" option. The former is the "honestly mistaken" option, the most common skeptical attempt to add to the trilemma.
Notice the binary thinking here. Either a thing is 100% true, or it is 100% false. Either Jesus claimed to be divine, or he did not. But does this really reflect the realities involved in Jesus's remarks and the circumstances under which he made them (assuming he really did make them)? Let's look at one example, from John 10.
[Jesus said:] "I and the Father are one."
Again the Jews picked up stones to stone him, but Jesus said to them, "I have shown you many great miracles from the Father. For which of these do you stone me?"
"We are not stoning you for any of these," replied the Jews, "but for blasphemy, because you, a mere man, claim to be God."
Jesus answered them, "Is it not written in your Law, 'I have said you are gods'? If he called them 'gods,' to whom the word of God came—and the Scripture cannot be broken— what about the one whom the Father set apart as his very own and sent into the world? Why then do you accuse me of blasphemy because I said, 'I am God's Son'?
So according to Holding, either it's 100% true that the Father and the Son are one, or it's 100% false. In what sense might it be true, however? In the context, Jesus gives us a Biblical precedent for interpreting such remarks, citing Psalm 82 as an example of God using the term "god" to refer to mortal kings:
God presides in the great assembly; he gives judgment among the "gods": "How long will you defend the unjust and show partiality to the wicked?
…I said, 'You are "gods"; you are all sons of the Most High.' But you will die like mere men; you will fall like every other ruler."
So God called the kings of the earth "gods." That means that either God is a liar, or God is a lunatic, or the kings of the earth really are gods. It's either 100% true that they are gods, or it's 100% false that they are gods. It's either 100% true that God called them gods, or it's 100% false that God called them gods. If God called them gods when it's 100% false that they are gods, then God must either be a liar or a lunatic. Either it's 100% true that God knew they were not gods when He called them gods, or it's 100% false that He knew they were not gods. If He knew they were not gods, then He's a liar. If He didn't, then either He's 100% insane, or He's 100% ignorant.
Quiz time: how many people think that Psalm 82's true, intended meaning is best arrived at via the "tetralemma" approach outlined by Holding? And what does that tell us about what Jesus meant when he cited Psalm 82 as the precedent for his own declaration of being "one" with God?
The problem is that "god" is a term without any objective, verifiable, real-world reference. It is a term whose meaning is defined entirely by the stories men tell about it, and the feelings men have about it, and the speculations and philosophies men imagine about it. And as if it weren't bad enough that these things contradict each other and themselves, we also use the terms "god" and "divine" metaphorically and hyperbolically, as well as "spiritually." It's entirely possible for it to be 100% true that Jesus claimed divinity (in some sense) while being 100% false that he claimed divinity (in some other, equally valid sense).
We know that Jesus is not God, in the sense of being an all-knowing, all-loving, all-wise and all-powerful supernatural being who loves us enough to die in our place so that we can be together forever. If there were such a thing as an omnipotent being who wanted to be with us, we'd know about it because he'd show up in the real world. If that's what he wants, and nothing in heaven and earth has the power to deny him what he wants, then we'd see it.
Clearly, that doesn't happen, so we know no such deity exists. Consequently, we can dispense with the possibility that Jesus was God, because no such god exists in the real world. According to Lewis and Holding, that leaves "liar" and "lunatic" as the only remaining possibilities, though Holding concedes that "honestly mistaken" is also a valid alternative that Lewis somehow failed to consider.
The reality of the situation is that Jesus was probably on the spectrum of human behavior between the cynical huckster who deliberately manipulates popular superstition in order to acquire political power, and the deluded egomaniac who is sincerely unable to tell the difference between whatever seems right in his own eyes, and "God's Eternal Will."
On the huckster side, we see that Jesus manifestly loved to step into the limelight and build up his own reputation by denouncing the unpopular leaders of his day. He seized the moral high ground by preaching virtues that, unfortunately, he himself did not quite put into practice (for example, compare "love your enemies" with how he actually treated the Pharisees and the merchants on the Temple grounds). He even denounced his own followers at times, but he loved to have people scrape and bow and show their faith in him.
But we should give Jesus the benefit of the doubt and suppose that he might indeed have been one of those naive and egocentric souls who seem to be simply unable to conceive of the possibility that their opinions about God's will might be mistaken. "It seems right in my own eyes, so it must obviously be God's eternal standard of morality and justice!" Such people can be more dangerous (especially to themselves) than the cynical huckster, because the huckster, at least, can draw the line before things get out of control. The deluded egomaniac can't compromise without making the fatal concession that his personal opinions might not be genuinely infallible, and in Jesus's case that ended up getting him killed.
So where does Jesus fit on the Liar, Lord, or Lunatic tree? Is it 100% dishonest to fail to distinguish between your own value judgments and God's Eternal Truth? If so, there are a lot of lying Christians out there. Or is it 100% insane to try to live the best, most moral, and most righteous life you can live, given your understanding of what morality and justice are? If so, there's a lot of people, Christian and non-, who are cuckoo froot loops.
But if it's possible for you to be just a bit deluded about the difference between the way things seem to you, and the way "God" would have ordained them (if He existed), and if it's possible at the same time to be willing to exploit people's superstitions in order to motivate them to live up to (your own) moral standards (and incidentally lend you considerable political power and influence), and if it's possible to do all that without being either a liar, a lunatic, or an almighty God, then maybe, just maybe it was possible for Jesus too.

Tile D1
"Faces of Women's Survival: Growth (Part I, Healing)
William Monague, Ojibwa artist
Artist's Biography
Ojibwa Artist William Monague grew up on Christian Island, home of the Beausoleil First Nation People and currently resides in Midland, Ontario. The self-taught artist left his Beausoleil First Nation reserve in the 1970's and spent the 1980's traveling the Pow Wow circuit selling native arts and crafts. Soon after, his three daughters Wausa, Wabie and Awasis were born. On the trail, original paintings, carvings and quill work were acquired by curators from the Washington Museum of Fine Art, Turtle Art Gallery New York, Royal Ontario Museum, and Whetung's Art Gallery among others. During this time William was awarded Most Unique Native Artist in Alberta and British Columbia shows. Monague Native Crafts Inc. was established through extensive travel subsisting with the family in his 1979 GMC van while selling arts and crafts. The business he started in Mission, BC has become one of Canada's leading global producers and suppliers of native products. From humble beginnings to present day he maintains the same dedication to his artwork and skill with works being commissioned and obtained by numerous educational establishments, collectors, native/non-native businesses, corporations and organizations.
Many awards and recognition have been acquired throughout his career including a Lifetime Achievement Award. During the spring of 1998 his son William Aries was born and the artistic endeavor of "Snowy and the Otter" began. Canada Council for the Arts recognized and supported the artistic endeavour. The project is still in the works for the artist and his Metis wife Brenda. The adventures of "Snowy and the Otter" will offer young and old, a fun and memorable journey into the diminishing legends, language and culture of the Inuit and Ojibwa.
William, Brenda and youngest daughter Kate enjoy sharing their culture by participating at pow wows, conferences, cultural events and offer workshops within their community. William's Art Studio is located at their century old home in downtown midland, Ontario.
Artist's Statement
"Her healing journey begins, she's a survivor"
The Great Pine Tree symbolizes the strength and resilient nature of women. Violence and gender based harassment brings out many negative emotions. Once the Dispirited nature finds the Courage to begin the Healing process, she grows; her strength, courage and understanding will allow the healing to begin.
This tile is the first of three tiles submitted by William. Each tile represents one part of a pine tree (top, middle and bottom) as well as each part of a woman survivor's journey to recovery. Please click here to see all three tiles together

This morning, as I was staring at the leaves in my front yard, a yard that I had just raked yesterday, I started thinking about rivalries. Rivalries like the one I was currently engaged in with my neighbor's maple tree. Unfortunately, the maple tree won this round, but the thing about rivalries is that they are not decided by a single battle, they play out over time, each side taking victories and defeats. Unfortunately, the ranking got a little congested at number two, however, number one was never in doubt.
379) Cowboys vs. Washington D.C. football club (this one is funny)
296) Packers vs. Vikings (only one side views this as a rivalry, the other side thinks it's cute)
2oo.) Nirvana vs. Pearl Jam
2nn.) Switzerland vs. no one
2mm.) Superman vs. Luthor
2ll.) Donner Party vs. mountains
2kk.) Al Czervik vs. Judge Smails
2jj.) Michigan vs. Ohio State
2ii.) Me vs. bratwurst & sauerkraut
2hh.) My dog vs. rabbits
2gg.) Internet vs. productivity (if you're reading this, the internet has won)
2ff.) Jonas Salk vs. polio
2ee.) Kirk vs. Khan
2dd.) Union vs. Confederacy
2cc.) Coke vs. Pepsi
2bb.) Jerry vs. Newman
2aa.) Marie Antoinette vs. guillotine (this may not have been a rivalry, more of a single battle)
2z.) VHS vs. Betamax
2y.) Tallahassee, Rick Grimes, Shaun & Ed vs. zombies
2x.) Celtics vs. Lakers (Bring back the short shorts)
2w.) Mac vs. PC
2v.) Brett Favre vs. Warren Sapp, John Randle, Brian Urlacher (this would have been fair if the latter had all been on the same team)
2u.) The Beatles vs. The Rolling Stones
2t.) Democrats vs. Republicans
2s.) Lance Easley vs. reality
2r.) Wile E. Coyote vs. Road Runner
2q.) Montagues vs. Capulets
2p.) MacGyver vs. Murdoc
2o.) Mario vs. Bowser
2n.) Don Quixote vs. windmills
2m.) Hatfields vs. McCoys
2l.) Homer vs. Flanders
2k.) Rommel vs. Patton
2j.) George & Marty McFly vs. Biff Tannen
2i.) Moses vs. Ramesses II
2h.) Manchester United vs. Liverpool
2g.) Batman vs. Joker

2e.) Ghandi vs. British Empire
2d.) Fried vs. fresh curds
2c.) Nikola Tesla vs. Thomas Edison
2b.) Galactic Empire vs. Rebel Alliance
2a.) Red Sox vs. Yankees
Now that you've seen some of the lesser rivalries in history, you know what it is number one.
1) Packers vs. Bears
Go, Pack, go.

The Lamb
Clip 1
by Kutlug Ataman
mp4 (640x272) [3 MB]
A village in the highlands of eastern Anatolia. As is required by age-old tradition, families here celebrate circumcision with a feast. Little Mert is to undergo the procedure but his father İsmail has no money to pay for the feast. His mother Medine ekes out a meagre living collecting willow rods. Nobody is willing to give them the lamb that must be served to their guests. Mert's sister terrifies her brother by explaining that, should their father fail to find a lamb, he will have to slaughter his own son …

Designed in 1945, this service was first produced in chrome-plated and silver-plated heavy brass, and later in stainless steel. "The Bombé service is very much a product of the postwar sociocultural climate, and as such it's a specific phenomenon of the design and customs that are associated with the first age of Italian design." (Alessandro Mendini)
Carlo Alessi was born in Granerolo (Verbania) in 1916, studied technical design at the OMAR institute in Novara and, at an early age worked in the metal workshop set up by his father, Giovanni, in 1921. From the mid-thirties until the mid-forties, he designed many Alessi works including the "Ottagonale", "Scalini", "Cilindrica" and "Bombé'" series. In the fifties, he became managing director of the company bringing with him a new international dimension and began working with new external designers. He was president of Alessi S.p.A until 2009, when he passed away.

Anti-static Flooring: The Basics
The Problem
Every application for ESD flooring is different. Without detailed technical knowledge, architects can easily specify the wrong ESD floor.
The Impact
The wrong floor will perform poorly and could leave sensitive electronics without adequate static protection.
The Solution
Serve your clients better by learning how to specify the right static- control floor for their application.
"All professionals involved in specifying flooring should know about the potential consequences of not specifying the right product and ensuring it is installed properly. Dave's information can help us better protect our clients and avoid potential lawsuits."

Geelong is a port city located on Corio Bay and the Barwon River, in the state of Victoria, Australia, 75 kilometres south-west of the state capital; Melbourne. It is the second most populated city in Victoria and the fifth most populated non-capital city in Australia. The urban area runs from the plains of Lara in the north to the rolling hills of Waurn Ponds to the south, with the bay to the east and hills to the west, an area with an estimated population of 160,991 people. It is the administrative centre for the City of Greater Geelong municipality which covers the urban and surrounding areas and is home to over 191,000 people. An inhabitant of Geelong has been known as a Geelongite, or a Pivotonian, in the past.
Geelong was named in 1837 by Governor Richard Burke, with the name derived from the local Wathaurong Aboriginal name for the region, Jillong, thought to mean 'land' or 'cliffs'. The area was first surveyed in 1838, three weeks after Melbourne, and the Post Office was open by June 1840. The first woolstore was erected in this period and it became the port for the wool industry of the Western District. During the gold rush Geelong experienced a brief boom as the main port to the rich goldfields of the Ballarat district. The city then diversified into manufacturing and during the 1860s it became one of the largest manufacturing centres in Australia with its wool mills, ropeworks, and paper mills.
It was proclaimed a city in 1910, with industrial growth from this time until the 1960s establishing the city as a manufacturing centre for the state, and saw the population grow to over 100,000 by the mid 1960s. Population increases over the last decade were due to growth in service industries, as the manufacturing sector has declined. Redevelopment of the inner city has occurred since the 1990s, as well as gentrification of inner suburbs and currently has a population growth rate higher than the national average.
It is known for being home to car manufacturer Ford Australia and also the Geelong Football Club, nicknamed The Cats.

Renee Burke MD, Plastic Surgery
I am a new, young, female plastic surgeon opening a practice in the hip midtown & chic buckhead regions of Atlanta. I am looking for a classy, timeless logo with just enough edge to catch the consumers eye and enough elegance to carry with me throughout my career. Also, it is important the design look professional, as I have completed a full plastic surgery fellowship and am not a physician trained in another field dabbling in plastic surgery.
My target audience will include very discriminating patients from the trendy, hip, mostly gay men in the midtown region to the affluent ladies in the buckhead community. I will also draw a large number of young females looking for a female surgeon they will relate to.
I am open to all designs gender neutral. I like yellow, possibly with gray or charcoal. I am not opposed to a watermark or design incorporated in the logo, but NOTHING CHEESY (sorry, I don't mean to insult your artistic integrity, but no flowers or butterflies!). My current business cards have a large B at the top ,which may be somewhere to start. Additionally, I like modern fonts, possibly something that could look like the curves of a body, since it is for a plastic surgery website! Good luck and I hope you have fun with this.

On Jan. 18, Parks and Recreation star Rob Lowe reported that Peyton Manning would retire from the NFL that evening. We now know that report was erroneous. But we don't know that Rob Lowe isn't a source worth consulting on the topic of Peyton Manning's free agency. So we reached out to Lowe's publicist, Alan Nierob, for comment:
Sorry he is away and unavailable.
(Rob Lowe's Twitter confirms this: He tweeted yesterday, "Spring break with the family. Skiing and Advil.")
Shoot, we figured. We decided to ask Nierob if he could step in for Lowe—whether he knew where Manning would sign. The entirety of his reply:
Undeterred, we've reached out to Chad Lowe's people in hopes that Rob told his brother something before he went on vacation. They have not yet responded to us. We'll bring you more when we get it.
Update (6:25 p.m.): Chad Lowe's publicist, Cindy Guagenti, has responded: "Sorry I don't think he knows..."

Following in Goya's footsteps in Aragón
Monument to Goya in Saragossa
Francisco de Goya is one of the great masters of painting. He was ahead of his time, a brilliant, sensitive artist. Here we invite you to discover his works in Aragón, northeastern Spain, the Region that saw his birth and his beginnings as an artist.
Some of the most important figures in the history of painting have come from Spain. Goya is one of these. His extensive oeuvre constitutes a vivid reflection of the society and events of his time. Discovering it is to go on a cultural journey that will take you to his birthplace, the Region of Aragón. Here you can follow in the artistic footsteps of the brilliant painter, visiting the museums and monuments in various towns. Are you ready to enjoy the magic of his brushstrokes? Then let's begin.
Goya-esque Zaragoza
The route starts in Zaragoza, 320 kilometres from the Spanish capital, Madrid. You can get there in barely 90 minutes, thanks to the High Speed Train (AVE) service between the cities. You will find Goya in many places around the city. To start with, in the frescos of El Pilar Basilica, 28 metres overhead. You can see his work on the vaulted ceiling, the dome and the four dome supports. The Cartuja de Aula Dei is another building with work by the master. In 1774, he created a series of eleven mural paintings in this monastery, seven of which remain today. Take note: you can see them on the last Saturday of every month, by prior appointment by telephone.
The journey continues in the Goya – Colección Ibercaja Museum, which has one of the most complete collections of etchings by Goya: the The Whims and The Disasters of War series of drawings show the artist's historic vision and feelings. The next stops are the Zaragoza Museum, the La Infanta Patio and the Archbishop's Palace, which also contains outstanding works by the painter. If you like, you can discover these places on a Goya-themed tour of the city. Get full information and sign up at the tourist offices.
Feeling Goya
Goya's presence can also be felt in the surrounding villages, less than 50 kilometres from Zaragoza. For example, in Fuendetodos, where you will find his Birth House and Etching Museum, which has a permanent exhibition of The Whims, The Disasters, The Bullfight and The Follies. There is still more to see. In Calatayud the main dome of San Juan el Real Church awaits. Alagón, Muel, Remolinos and Pedrosa are other towns with pieces by this great artist. Finally, we would recommend a visit to Huesca, 72 kilometres from Zaragoza, and its Museum. There you can see several of Goya's portraits and a series of four lithographs of The Bulls of Bordeaux.
To discover this universal Spaniard, Goya, in the Region that saw his birth, is to embark on a journey of artistic sensations. Simply brilliant. More information: Aragón Tourism. Goya Route

For years you heard it. It was a popular theory that the people of the West need no longer rely on natural resources to power the region's economy.
Voiced by politicians — but, interestingly enough, not by economists — the theory went something like this: Natural resource-based industries such as agriculture and timber will be replaced by "green" industries such as computer chips, tourism and, presumably, coffee shops and food carts.
Such statements are the work of overactive imaginations. The West was built on natural resource development. The Indians thrived on the region's natural resources. The first Europeans who arrived in the West were farmers, ranchers, loggers and miners who sought the opportunity to develop the region's plentiful natural resources.
Political leaders of the time were proud to say natural resources were the driver of the economy. President Theodore Roosevelt championed the national forest system as a multiple use resource that would help fuel the U.S. economy.
But in the late 20th Century political leaders took their eye off the ball. Such inattentiveness allowed preservationists to press their case for stopping logging, mining and curtailing agriculture. To this day, the logging industry is depressed not only by a weak economy but by efforts to stop logging in most federal forests.
There's plenty of talk about "treating" the forests to make them less vulnerable to massive forest fires like the ones that torched areas of California, Oregon, Washington and Idaho this summer, but such plans are political, not based in economic reality.
What the region needs is more logging of federal forests, which make up 60 percent of the forestland in Oregon but produce only 12 percent of the annual timber harvest. Private forests make up 19 percent of the forestland but produce 75 percent of the timber each year. State forests make up 3 percent of the forestland and produce 10 percent of the timber.
Oregon Gov. John Kitzhaber, a Democrat, said in 2011 that federal forest managers need to step up their commitment to provide timber and remove some of the burden from the state and private forests.
Even as environmental groups threaten legislation and lawsuits — they still like the tourism and coffee shop economic model — members of the Oregon congressional delegation have joined the chorus led by Kitzhaber.
Many counties in Oregon, Washington state, Idaho and California have historically depended on the timber economy and received a portion of federal timber receipts. The federal government doesn't pay property taxes to the counties so that was a compromise. When the federal government backed away from logging, those timber receipts shrank, putting the counties with the most federal timber in the worst economic bind.
To make up for the lack of timber receipts, the federal government sent money to the counties. That worked fine until the federal government hit rocky fiscal times. Now political leaders like Kitzhaber, Reps. Peter DeFazio, Kurt Schrader and Greg Walden and Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., and their counterparts in other states have begun to talk about the need for more federal logging as a way of averting financial disaster in those counties. No longer can the federal government be depended on to stroke a check to make up the lost revenue from the lack of logging.
All of the sudden, logging is cool again.
At the same time, agriculture has gained a certain cachet, even among urban members of Congress.
This is good. When political leaders stand up for responsible natural resource development as a way to broaden the regional economy we can all have hope for the future.

Lamborghini's canceled plans to build the Estoque, the ungainly four-door concept sedan named after a bull-fighting sword first shown last fall at the Paris Motor Show.
"The timing and market conditions are just not right for an additional model line," Lamborghini's boss of research and development Maurizio Reggiani told Autocar.
The first Lamborghini in two decades with an engine up front and two seats in the back would have been powered by the Gallardo's V10 or—save our souls—an Audi turbodiesel.
What better time than now to reminisce about a four-seat Lamborghini that did get built: the wonderful Espada grand tourer, produced between 1968 and 1978. While not a sedan but rather, a four-seat coupé, designer Marcello Gandini—of Miura, Countach and Lancia Stratos fame—introduced a twist never since reproduced: the Espada became a coupé not by a roof that swung downward, but by a floor that appeared to swing upward:
The result was a lovely shape which takes some getting used to, but does what no other 2+2 coupé can: enable lanky 6'2" guys to sit comfortably in the back seats. Where they can swing open the back windows and listen to a gasoline-fueled V12 engine do its thing through four chrome-tipped tailpipes.

Let's put this common refrain to rest~ something that I hear all the time in arguments concerning religion. It goes something like this:
" Remember, you can't prove a negative!"
Really people?
This has become much more common, especially in the arguments amongst Atheists and agnostics concerning certainty, and it really puzzles me how people can be skeptical and free-thinkers, yet take to an idea so easily and not question it. I will elaborate on this a little more once I have the time, but let me start all of those "can't prove a negative" types off with a question~ " I am not sitting at my desk." Thats a negative claim. Are you telling me that there is no way to confirm or disprove that?
Views: 1646
The magician case highlights the fundamental problem with relying solely on witnesses: it could, quite literally, be completely imagined without any intention from the witness to deceive. I would think the best way to be certain it's a physical memory is if there are unknowns in it; a smell, sound, color, etc. that the individual can't match up against their experiences well, so they can remember it strongly but are unable to describe it by analogy. Since mentally-generated memories are inherently constructed from other memories, such a gap indicates a foreign, external element. So while you can obtain indirect evidence this way, it's often much more efficient to simply search for direct physical evidence.
Side note: I'd only apply mental/physical to a posteriori experiences since there is no a priori data collection.
Religious beliefs originating from synthetic a priori knowledge would result in something like Spinoza's Monism, where his attempts to understand the structure of existence lead to the conclusion that the universe must be underlaid and synonymous with a necessary God.
That's not how most people approach it. Most people acquire religious beliefs through physical-social experiences as a member of a religious community, bonding with other worshipers and being accepted into the group. The general data class for religious faith would then be physical, analytic a posteriori (the personal religious identity), while their religious beliefs (rituals, behaviors of God, etc.) would be physical, synthetic a posteriori ("If I have this faith, then I must believe...").
Most philosophy deals with a priori analysis, so nothing Spinoza ever wrote would affect someone's sense of belonging in a religious community. Science is primarily about collecting physical analytic a posteriori data (the identity of what is and how it's put together), so it overlaps with religious faith, but not the dependent religious beliefs. Deductive arguments about human choice, etc. can overlap with beliefs, but not the primary faith.
So this would suggest two primary routes to shaking religious beliefs:"How could ____ be allowed to exist in this world?" (contradiction of faith, despite beliefs)
Philosophic arguments would only appear to hold sway for other philosophers trying to build a priori frameworks. Philosophy can still demonstrate contradictions which can undercut the a posteriori experiences, but it lacks the means to build faith.
I reread the post above many times and can say I understand a little. I agree with your assessment about how most people approach religion.
"Most philosophy deals with a priori analysis,..." This is something I have learned from discussing proof of no god, but no one would say it quite like this quoted phrase.
I have a better appreciation for philosophy. My view of philosophy is this: Like math is a structure for reality, philosophy is a structure of the mind. Though I may not understand the benefits I could gain from philosophy, I have decided that I no longer wish to put forth any more effort to learn about it. The very little I have learned did not alter my belief that knowledge requires evidence and belief does not. We will always disagree on the point of there being proof of a negative, so I quit. I envy you though. You understand science and philosophy. and you choose to use philosophy in addition to science. That may be where I end up, but for now, I feel comfortable with only science.
To me if you can't prove the positive that alone proves the negative.
That's a very strange statement. So if we can't currently prove that alien life exist, that proves it does not exist? We can't yet prove that the Higgs Boson exists, so that is proof that it does not exist?
Clearly this is not the case.
The inability to prove a positive does not imply the negative. Not at all. To forget that difference is a fallacy.
Kind regards,
Thank-you, in the same token though since I can't prove to you that fairies exist and you cannot prove that they do not, then should we waste time on the debate. The point is this plainly put. If your making a claim it is up to you to prove it. It is not my responsibility to disprove it. How can you disprove something that has not been determined to be real? The fact that it cannot be proven indeed implies it to be false. I also don't believe in aliens either and won't until I see evidence(valid) that they are real. Some things are simple to understand.That being stated does not apply to things which can be tested and then proven through testing.Beliefs that only exist in a persons head cannot be tested, because they are made up.
If your making a claim it is up to you to prove it. It is not my responsibility to disprove it. How can you disprove something that has not been determined to be real?
I agree with all that. What I do not agree with is the implication that unless we can prove a positive, the debate is therefore "a waste of time" - or worse, that it actually proves the negative.
I had hoped the example of the Higgs Boson would have set a framework. This is a hypothetical particle which - just a few years ago - we had absolutely no way of verifying it to exist or not. Nobody could prove its existence, and nobody could prove the opposite (naturally). Does that mean we should have seen that debate as a waste of time? Of course not. In fact we spend billions of dollars building a particle accelerator to help us come to a point where it could perhaps be proven.
Some questions are very much worth investigating, regardless of whether we can currently prove the positive or the negative.
"The fact that it cannot be proven indeed implies it to be false."
There's a slight language duality at work here. There's a difference between claims which cannot currently be proven, and claims which could not possibly be proven true. It's hard what to think of the second class, but suffice it to say that the God claim is not in there: clearly the existence of a God could be proven if it actually existed.
And again, for years we could not prove the existence of the Higgs Boson. And in fact we still can't (though we're getting closer). But had we given up our investigations or seen it as a waste of time, we'd be much intellectually poorer for it.
Kind regards,
Matt again to me the God claim is a false belief that only exists in the minds of those who believe in it. Therefore to argue about it is foolish, except when that belief affects us as a whole and even in that scenario you simply point to its harm and stand against the harm. I am referring only in this case to God claims. To me it is just as foolish if you and I were debating about the existence of the tooth fairy.
p.s.clearly the existence of a God could be proven if it actually existed. Your words my point exactly. Matt this is my view and although most say they cannot say with certainty that God is not real I do. The reason being that the teaching about God is his desire to know us and we have been searching and he is not there. It is not a matter of developing the right technology to discover where he's been hiding. The truth is simple He has never been.

Free agency Friday
Jumping on the CC Train
Just because agents won't be accepting offers on behalf of their clients on the first day of free agency, doesn't mean they won't listen. As expected, it didn't take the fucking Yankees long to set the bar by extending a record-setting offer of employment (for a pitcher) to the cream of the free agent crop, Carsten Charles Sabathia. And can I say something here? CC doesn't frighten me. Oh, I know what a ludicrous statement that is. But he just doesn't. I don't know why, but it might have something to do with the fact that I can't see a 6'7, 300+ lb man hold up for the length of the 6 years on the table. Or I could be just talking myself off the ledge, I don't know.
More noteworthy (to me, anyway), is the fact that ol' Hank Steinbrenner has openly declared the Yankees are in on both AJ and Derek Lowe, both of whom are looking for 4+ year contracts. If you think locking in on $250 million and half a decade of commitment to 3/5 of your rotation (the youngest of whom would be 34 years old by term's end) is a good idea, then have at it fellas.
Nick Swisher, New York Yankee
Really? This is a good idea? The guy who seems to be constantly fucking around in-game, dyes his goatee yellow, and couldn't get on with a disciplinarian manager? He's a good fit for the New York Yankees? Uh, OK then. Again - have at it, fellas.
Aaron Hill is symptom free
I know I keep harping on it, but I'm telling you, this will make a big difference next season, friends. Gold glove defence, a .290 average, and 65 extra-base hits... assuming the birds have stopped chirping inside his head, of course.
Whatever happened to extending Doc?
I don't want to read anything into this, and for the record, am not going there yet......but what happened to the in-season proclamations that the Jays would be looking to extend Doc? For now, I'm just going to pretend that I haven't been reading the whispers that the Jays have yet to decide whether to make a push and reload....or scale back payroll and rebuild. For now.
10 comments:
The mumblings from Beeston and the Jays front-office about a possible re-build should be taken seriously. I can't remember where I read the article (Globe?), but if you read between the lines it looks like Beeston and company are going to take a realistic approach for 2009 and use it to rebuild for 2010 and beyond. That would be a refreshing change from the last three seasons or so. The team is more than a couple of parts away from serious contention in 2009, but some good trades and waiting for some prospects to make it will set them up better long-term (and it's cheaper). A mulligan in 2009 is fine by me if that's the plan.
- November 15, 2008 at 8:40 AM
you don't extend somebody after their career year....not that it was a career year, but the chances are, he's not quite as good next year.
i'd prefer not to be the team that gives doc his age 34-39 contract, even though I think he'll age well, i don't think he'll age $20m per season well.

You know what sucks? We haven't had ownership who gave a shit about how the Jays finished in the standings since Labatt's sold out to InterBrew.
I know I am bitching about something that has been a a fact for years, but Riccardi is in the press talking about how we can't outspend the Sawx and Yanks. The reality is the owners choose not to. Rogers is worth way more than pretty much every owner in the MLB.
The last time we won we outspent everyone. Maybe we deserve 40 years of wandering through the wilderness.
We can have 2009 and a mulligan or maybe even 2009 through 2019. Fuck, that's a long time. Ah well, if the Cubs fans, Sox fans, etc etc can cope, then so should we.

wiffleballs: The only players on this team who aren't either cheap for years or albatrosses are Halladay and maybe Ryan, and I think the team should trade Ryan for pieces to compete this year anyways. If rebuilding just means trading Doc, the team might as well play for this year.
- November 16, 2008 at 2:08 AM
torgen: Trading Doc would signal a full-fledged rebuild which would end with gutting the entire team as we know it. I don't think that's in the cards (yet) or what Beeston was referring to. I agree with you that the Jays might as well try to compete this year, but not at the cost of mortgaging their future financially or by trading away talent. Either approach won't change the fact that their chances in 2009 will be similar to the last few seasons, under-performance aside. Intelligent trades, like getting something they need for Ryan, would be a good start. Beyond those kinds of moves, their options are limited. They either bet the farm and make some bold trades and sign some impact free agents this winter to take it all in 2009, or play it slow and steady for the long-term. The moves this off-season will tell us which approach they follow.
- November 16, 2008 at 9:47 AM
I think trading Doc at some point is probably the best way to go. Of course it doesn't mean gutting the entire team - Rios, Hill, Wells, Lind, Snider, and the young pitchers will continue to be the core of the team. Trading Doc would mean that BJ, Lyle and potentially Rolen could be moved at some point, but that's the case anyways and I don't consider them to be the guts of the team.
I don't want to be giving Doc 5 years and $100m for his age 35-39 seasons.
- November 16, 2008 at 10:35 AM
- Torgen said...
Lyle and Rolen can't be moved at some point. They don't have positive trade value unless they have a good year, and if they do, you're ruing trading Doc.
- November 16, 2008 at 2:37 PM
If you're rebuilding, you take the salary room over the production.
- November 16, 2008 at 2:58 PM
The Jays can sign Doc for cheaper than $100m for his later years. Keep him around as long as possible, the advantage the Jays have with Doc if they ever make the playoffs is huge.
I could see Doc being dominate into his 40s. Look at Schilling!
- November 16, 2008 at 8:37 PM
- Tao of Stieb said...
Halladay was 31 last year.
He has two years left on his contract, which takes him to 33.
So a five-year deal after that would take him through to the age of 38.

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas! This year, my Christmas was pretty quiet as my family ditched me for a holiday in Taiwan, whilst I spent three days alone at home revising and eating instant ramen for my Christmas dinner. The most enjoyable thing I did was probably going to my dear dear dear friend, YTH's birthday party.
YTH is one of my high/secondary school friends, but over these 6-7 years, I think we've become pretty close friends. (YTH: I hope you agree!) She's one of those people that will know what I am thinking of on one moment of eye contact, and we usually share the same views and thoughts on the many things we discuss. She's also the first one I always consult when I have a problem, and she's always there to listen when I come across baking disasters. She also loves to write - take a look at her blog, and she'll take you through the torturous IB journey we're on right now, but not without hints of humour and sarcasm that always make me smile when I read.
Of course, I wouldn't even dream of showing up without a birthday cake. Since most of us are pretty sleep deprived and rely heavily on caffeine, I thought I'd might as well include it in the cake. Originally I wanted to make an Espresso Fudge Cake (since YTH always gets a Mocha whenever we're at Starbucks or PCC), but I didn't have much time on my hands, so I settled on making a simpler - but equally caffeine loaded - Tiramisu Cake.
This time the production of the cake went quite well, as only two main components were needed to be made - the yellow cake layer, and the filling/frosting mascarpone cream. I found the yellow cake to be a little dense and dry, and I think by soaking it with more espresso-rum syrup it will give a texture that is more similar than the classic Tiramisu.
As for the filling and frosting, I can only say that I should have doubled the amount, because it is the best part of the cake! A smooth and creamy mascarpone concoction that is lightened with whipped cream and spiked with kahlua and espresso, I found it hard to restrain myself from eating it by the spoonful! Assembled along with the soaked cake layers and some finely chopped dark chocolate, the cake did resemble the flavour and texture of Tiramisu.
I really do like the idea of Tiramisu in the form of a cake, but next time I think I'll just go back to using lady fingers, but assemble the dessert inside a cake ring.
Although the cake itself tasted pretty good overall, the thing I'm most proud of is the decoration. Try looking at the first photo upside down - the design looks the same, because it's an ambigram! The idea was inspired by an ambigram that YTH drew a long time ago....Did I mention that she's an amazing calligrapher? The neatness of her handwriting is pretty scary, our Physics teacher once said that he thought it was typed!
The decoration was made by using a paper stencil. First I printed off an ambigram (from an ambigram generator that found using Google) and carefully cut out the text. Then I simply placed it onto the cake, and sieved over copious amounts of cocoa powder. Then comes to difficult bit - removing the paper stencil without spilling cocoa powder over the design. I found that the best way to do this is to use a pair of thin wire 'pliers' (pardon my English, I don't know what's the exact name of the tool), pinch one end of the stencil, and remove it quickly and swiftly in one direction so the cocoa spills on the 'dark' bit of the design, and not onto the 'light' bits.
This way of decorating probably works best for simple designs and shapes - hearts, stars smiley faces, or a single alphabet letter and numbers.
Or, you can make this cake for your New Year parties, and use a design saying '2010' for the decoration! And speaking of 2010, this will be the last post of 2009 - so I'll see you all again in 2010, and cheers to a better, happier and more fruitful year with more baking for everyone!
Tiramisu Cake
From Dorie Greenspan's Baking: From My Home to Yours
For the cake layers:
2 cups (250g) cake flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/8 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/4 sticks (10 tablespoons, 142g) unsalted butter, room temperature
1 cup (200g) sugar
3 large eggs
1 large egg yolk
1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
3/4 cup (180g) buttermilk
For the espresso extract:
2 tablespoons instant espresso powder
2 tablespoons boiling water
For the espresso syrup:
1/2 cup water
1/3 cup (66g) sugar
1 tablespoon amaretto, Kahlua, or brandy (I used rum)
For the filling and frosting:
1 8-ounce (224g) container mascarpone
1/2 cup (60g) confectioners' sugar, sifted
1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1 tablespoon amaretto, Kahlua, or brandy (I used Kahlua)
1 cup(238g) cold heavy cream
2 1/2 ounces (70g) bittersweet or semisweet chocolate, finely chopped, or about 1/2 cup store-bought mini chocolate chips
Chocolate-covered espresso beans, for decoration (optional)
Cocoa powder, for dusting
Getting ready:
Center a rack in the oven and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter two 9×2 inch round cake pans, dust the insides with flour, tap out the excess, and line the bottoms of the pans with parchment or wax paper. Put the pans on a baking sheet.
To make the cake:
Sift together the cake flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Working with a stand mixer, preferably fitted with a paddle attachment, or with a hand mixer in a large bowl, beat the butter on medium speed until soft and creamy. Add the sugar and beat for another 3 minutes. Add the eggs one by one, and then the yolk, beating for 1 minute after each addition. Beat in the vanilla; don't be concerned if the mixture looks curdled. Reduce the mixer speed to low and add the dry ingredients alternately with the buttermilk, adding the dry ingredients in 3 additions and the milk in 2 (begin and end with the dry ingredients); scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed and mix only until the ingredients disappear into the batter. Divide the batter evenly between the two pans and smooth the tops with a rubber spatula.
Bake for 28 to 30 minutes, rotating the pans at the midway point. When fully baked, the cakes will be golden and springy to the touch and a thin knife inserted into the centers will come out clean. Transfer the cakes to a rack and cool for about 5 minutes, then run a knife around the sides of the cakes, unmold them, and peel off the paper liners. Invert and cool to room temperature right-side up.
To make the extract:
Stir the espresso powder and boiling water together in a small cup until blended. Set aside.
To make the syrup:
Stir the water and sugar together in a small saucepan and bring just to a boil. Pour the syrup into a small heatproof bowl and stir in 1 tablespoon of the espresso extract and the liqueur or brandy; set aside.
To make the filling and frosting:
Put the mascarpone, sugar, vanilla, and liqueur in a large bowl and whisk just until blended and smooth.
Working with the stand mixer with the whisk attachment or with a hand mixer, whip the heavy cream until it holds firm peaks. Switch to a rubber spatula and stir about one quarter of the whipped cream into the mascarpone. Fold in the rest of the whipped cream with a light touch.
To assemble the cake:
If the tops of the cake layers have crowned, use a long serrated knife and a gentle sawing motion to even them. Place one layer right-side up on a cardboard round or a cake plate protected with strips of wax or parchment paper. Using a pastry brush or a small spoon, soak the layer with about one third of the espresso syrup. Smooth some of the mascarpone cream over the layer – user about 1 1/4 cups – and gently press the chopped chocolate into the filling. Put the second cake layer on the counter and soak the top of it with half the remaining espresso syrup, then turn the layer over and position it, soaked side down, over the filling. Soak the top of the cake with the remaining syrup.
For the frosting, whisk 1 to 1 1/2 tablespoons of the remaining espresso extract into the remaining mascarpone filling. Taste the frosting as you go to decide how much extract you want to add. If the frosting looks as if it might be a little too soft to spread over the cake, press a piece of plastic wrap against its surface and refrigerate it for 15 minutes or so. Refrigerate the cake too.
With a long metal icing spatula, smooth the frosting around the sides of the cake and over the top. If you want to decorate the cake with chocolate-covered espresso beans, press them into the filling, making concentric circles of beans or just putting some beans in the center of the cake.
Refrigerate the cake for at least 3 hours (or for up to 1 day) before serving – the elements need time to meld.

Must have a tree / trees within the logo.

Former NFL star Darren Sharper pleaded not guilty Thursday to allegations that he drugged and raped two women in Los Angeles in an ongoing investigation that includes at least five other alleged victims in three other states.
Sharper, 38, was charged last week with seven rape and drug counts involving four women he allegedly met at a West Hollywood nightclub. Court documents filed Friday revealed additional allegations in Las Vegas, New Orleans and Tempe, Ariz., that are all still under investigation.
Prosecutors said in court Thursday that a new allegation against Sharper was being investigated in New Orleans, and Miami police are investigating one there.
[Updated at 5:15 p.m. PST, Feb. 20: New Orleans police spokeswoman Remi Braden told The Times on Thursday evening her department was investigating only one alleged incident against Sharper. Miami media outlets reported that police there are investigating an alleged sexual battery by Sharper after a woman came forward two days after his L.A. arrest.]
Bail for the former New Orleans Saints safety was increased from $200,000 to $1 million and the judge ordered him to post bond Thursday before leaving court.
Previously, he had been ordered to surrender his passport, stay in Los Angeles and and avoid the West Hollywood nightclub.
If convicted of the charges, Sharper would face more than 30 years in prison, prosecutors said.
His attorneys said last week that Sharper is not guilty.
"We look forward to the true facts being revealed in this case, and we are hopeful that Mr. Sharper will be fully exonerated before this case is concluded," attorney Blair Berk said outside the courtroom.
Court documents laid out a series of allegations against Sharper that occurred between Sept. 22 and Jan. 15. Women reported meeting Sharper — usually at a nightclub — then going back to his hotel room or another location. The women, who were often in pairs, said Sharper then gave them shots of alcohol that caused them to black out.
Some of the women said they awoke hours later to find Sharper assaulting them or a friend. Many said they could remember nothing between drinking the shots and waking up. Authorities said Sharper's DNA was found on one of the victims during a medical examination. In another incident, the sleep-aid drug zolpidem — an Ambien generic — was found in a cup he had given another victim, officials said.
Charges have been filed only in connection with the Los Angeles allegations, though officials in the other jurisdictions said their cases remained open.
Los Angeles Police Cmdr. Andrew Smith said the LAPD's investigation was also ongoing.
"Any time we have a case like this, we are looking for more victims," Smith said.
Authorities said Sharper, who also played for the Green Bay Packers and Minnesota Vikings, was a Miami resident but was living in Los Angeles in recent months for his work. He most recently was an analyst for the NFL Network, but was suspended without pay after his arrest.

Belmont Polo Club
Belmont Polo Club is the only one of it's kind open in the Winter, thanks to our artificial pitch. We attract players from all over the world who want to continue to play Polo in the winter.
High net worth individuals, accustomed to quality and a refined experience.
We need a logo that contains both text and graphics, that is bold, modern, refined and 'high quality'.
We'd like to include "Belmont Polo" and then "London" or, if you think it might look better, a variation (e.g. "Belmont Polo Club, London"). Try typefaces that are bold and modern.
The graphic needs to be easily recognisable, possibly containing a polo player and horse, or polo clubs, or a mixture of the two or neither.
We need to reproduce the graphic on these mediums, online, business cards, brochures, t-shirts, caps, jackets. Therefore we need the logo and text to be bold and relatively simple, so that it will transfer to multiple mediums easily.
We like navy blue/white, but we'd welcome your suggestions.
Example logos that we like:
- British Beach Championships - http://www.sandpolo.com
- The Beaufort Polo Club - http://www.beaufortpoloclub.co.uk
We'll be monitoring to give feedback regularly!

The Masher recently sat at the counter at Capital City Cycles and had a chat with owner, Troy Hearn. He enlightened me on some bicycle topics, and informed me that bicycling in America was first started in New York City. Infact, the "New York Bike Club" was the group of folks that originally formed the Department of Transportation because they were seeking better roads to ride on. Funny, that's an issue we still struggle with today. The rest of the conversation is also very informative!
Masher: How long have you been in the bicycle business?
Troy: 22 years total and started Capital City Cycles 4 years ago.
Masher: Do you consider this to be your dream job?
Troy: No, but unsure what my dream job would be if the money part wasn't an issue. Considering I have to make a living, this is what I want to be doing. If I didn't require income, I would be riding a bike another 20-30 hrs per week.
It may not be his dream job, but it sounds like he's in the right neighborhood!
Masher: What is a typical ride for you, and what is your favorite ride?
Troy: Well I like mountain biking a little more than road riding, so my favorite ride would be on a dry, fast, single track trail. My typical ride is every morning before work either a 10 mile mountain bike ride or a 50 mile road ride.
Masher: What kind of changes have you witnessed in your 20+ years in the bike sales and service industry?
Troy: For starters, the average price of bikes has been on a steady increase, as has the number of people riding. It seems as if the movement comes more from the north and is beginning to really become more and more popular as it moves south. Even though states like Michigan, Wisconsin, and Colorado generally have a shorter riding season, they are way ahead of us in the number of bike lanes and public accessible trails to ride on. 20 years ago, it was rare to come across a cyclist, and they were thought of as different. Now it seems that if you aren't a cyclist, you at least know one, and while back then you only had one bike, now it is very common for folks to have multiple bikes (mountain, road, time trial or triathlon, hybrid, etc.) and ride them all. This generation of cyclist also seems to be more passionate about riding, which is probably why it's spreading so rapidly.
Masher: What advice do you offer to new cyclists to improve their riding experience? And what advice can you offer to cyclists who are somewhat experienced, but maybe want to take their ride to another level?
Troy: Primarily 3 things. First, I recommend joining a local bike club. Ours is the "Bluegrass Cycling Club." Their group rides can be very accomodating to beginners and novices, while teaching some basic ride safety, and how to properly care for your bike. This is also the best way for experienced riders to get even better, because you tend to push yourself a little more when riding in a pack, and this helps you become stronger and faster. Second, there is always the internet, where you can find some very helpful information, just like this conversation piece. Obviously, some of the web info can be subjective and some objective, therefore, last but not least, I highly recommend consulting a local bike shop.
I agree with the third tip, they are experts shen it comes to bikes. I have visited all of the area bike shops at one time or another, and I am proud to say I choose to patronize Capital City Cycles, because of the relationship I have developed with Troy and his very friendly staff, and their willingness to educate me about my bike and other necessary cycling gear! You can rest assured that whoever you develop a relationship with, they will be there for you when you need them because the Internet can't give you a hands-on training of how to change a flat tire on the side of the road.
Masher: How do you feel about our current bike laws in Kentucky in general?
Troy: What bike laws?! Of the total number of cyclists in America, I would guess that about 2% are racers, while 98% are some form of casual rider, and of that group, I bet less than 5% ride on the road. Most people, even the majority of work commuters, are riding on the sidewalk or just around their subdivisions, with no desire to get onto the road with vehicles.
Masher: How do you think updating the bicycling laws (if we have any) in Kentucky, including the push for a "3 Feet 2 Pass" law, will benefit your business and other bike shops.
Troy: I don't think I will see a difference, because the majority of new riders will still be afraid of the roads. I support updating legislation, but the bigger issue is education.
I agree, we need more education, especially for drivers. I disagree, though, that we won't all benefit from improved legislation. When we are able to pass some new laws including, "3 Feet 2 Pass," then we can turn the focus onto more education, and of coarse, the other key element is enforcement. I hope at some point I can change Troy's mind on this opinion. Only time will tell!
Masher: Would you like to, or do you have any future plans to expand your business or open new locations?
Troy: Yes, I would love to expand my business here in Frankfort one day, with a larger shop, but haven't given much thought to any other locations.
Masher: Anything else you would like to add in closing? Any advice for my readers that can improve their bicycling experience?
Troy: Think globally, and act locally! Things will never get better on your street if you don't help your neighbor. Ask you city, county, and state officials to keep the roads clean. If they could run the street sweepers over the shoulders and emergency lanes once in a while, we would have instant bike lanes, and that would be wise use of our roadways, that we ALL pay for!
Excellent, I couldn't have said it better. It's true. We would all be content to ride on the shoulder, provided that there's room, or on the other side of the rumble strip on the bypass and/or local highways, rather than in the flow of speeding traffic, but it's nearly impossible with all of the debris that lies in these areas. I intend to take his advice and post the names and phone numbers of some of those officials, so we can kindly make the request to sweep our roadways and shoulders (that's good for the economy too, because it equates to jobs)!
I enjoyed my chat with Troy, and in closing, I would like to recommend giving Capital City Cycles a chance to earn your business, if you aren't already loyal to another bike shop. If you are considering buying a new bike like I am, Troy will give you lifetime free tune ups on a bike you buy from him as long as you own it. That's a great way to justify spending a few more dollars on nicer components, or a lighter frame, or a better wheelset, because in the long run as you save on the tune ups, these upgrades pay for themselves!

By Amit De
The job search is tedious, time consuming, exhausting, and a bunch of other things we don't even want to bring up. The feeling of receiving an invitation to interview can leave you both overjoyed and overwhelmed. With growing fears of prolonged gaps of unemployment, especially for older job seekers, developing a job search strategy that really works means there's no room to blow your chances of getting hired during your interview.
In fact, most mistakes job seekers make during the interview process are completely avoidable. Here are a few simple ways to nail your interview:
Do your research
As the interviewee, it's your job to come into an interview with extensive company knowledge. Spend time learning the company website like the back of your hand, and make sure to familiarize yourself with their social networks and their blog as well. Read their latest news, know the names of executives, and most importantly, know their values and mission. Whether you're fresh on the job market or an experienced worker, don't fall into the trap of "winging it" when it comes to research. Your goal is to express your experiences and values in a way that aligns them directly with the company.
If you've used information in your resume or application materials, you should know it — plain and simple. This is especially important if you are an older job seeker with a significant amount of experience on your resume. Consider an interview to be the most important test of your life. When studying your resume, it's important to have an example for every skill and experience listed. Keep in mind all of the general interview questions, but also take time to delve deeper into your experiences. Write all of your questions and answers down and carefully read them over. To make sure that your memory holds and you don't sound like you're reading a speech, practice answering all of questions out loud.
Be timely
While anyone truly interested in a position would never be late to an interview, many candidates often arrive far too early. This can cause for an awkward experience as you wait in the provided area. Your interviewer may feel rushed and even bothered at your presence. Something as simple as this could start your interview off in a negative tone. Try to arrive no earlier than 10 minutes prior to your scheduled time. If you plan to be there on time and end up getting their sooner, take a few laps around the block and mentally review your resume.
Be aware
Fifty-five percent of people said that the main impact of meeting new people comes from the way they dress, act, or walk. A good impression during your interview depends on complete awareness in your outward appearance and body language before, during, and while exiting an interview. Remember to keep your dress professional, keep eye contact with whoever asked you a question, look pleasant, sit up straight and toward the front of your seat, and don't fidget.
Be concise and direct
An interview is not the time to express every single detail of your employment history. When your interviewer asks you to tell them a little about yourself, make sure that you have an elevator pitch in place and that it's no longer than a minute. Keep in mind that over explaining anything will make you look less qualified and unprepared. Your interviewers time is precious, make sure to be direct and play off their interests to learn when to share more during an answer.
Show confidence and positivity
While the job hunt might have you feeling negative and full of self-doubt, this is not the time to show any of it. An interview is a fresh start and an opportunity to set yourself apart from all of the other candidates. Warmth, positivity, and confidence are three simple ways to make others feel comfortable around you. Always try to keep a good sense of humor during an interview as well.
Ask the right questions
Always prepare at least three questions to ask after your interview. Stay away from the simple no-brainer and go for something deeper that expresses the amount of research and interest you have in the company. This part of the interview isn't a time to suck up, either.
Say thank you
Some may say it's outdated, but a handwritten thank you note is always a nice touch to the completion of an interview. This allows you to thank the interviewer on a more personal level. You thank you note should go into the mail the same day as the interview to ensure that it arrives promptly.

If it is hard to imagine buying a home, moving in, and then restoring its 67 windows to their original 1923 condition, you can only marvel at the determination of Ray and Lynn Plack to revive Hiddenbrook, their Ruxton mansion on 6 acres just north of Baltimore.
"The house was untouched and belonged to one family for 89 years," said Lynn Plack, a 55-year-old real estate agent with Chase Fitzgerald & Co. Inc. "There wasn't one functioning bathroom. We had to completely gut three out of four of them."
Still, the desire to own Hiddenbrook, designed by Theodore Wells Pietsch, whose diverse blueprints are found on such landmarks as Fells Point's Broadway Pier, trumped the costs of renovation. Not even the installation of central air conditioning or the monthlong repair of falling plaster could dampen their enthusiasm for the renovation.
The Placks, along with their daughter Martha, 21, one of the couple's four adult children, and two dogs, Sammy and Penny, took possession of the home last August. They were excited, rather than daunted, by the 5,200-square-foot space with three stories and six bedrooms.
"We had always loved homes from this era, and two other times in the past we had seen houses in Ruxton that we missed out on," said Ray Plack, a 58-year-old cardiologist at St. Agnes Hospital in Baltimore. "Sadly, both houses were raised. When we saw this house, we fell in love with the architecture and the setting on a 6-acre lot in such a desirable location. We decided to take it on as project with a goal of restoring it to its 1923 grandeur."
The owners were handsomely rewarded, since so many rooms in the house, while neglected, stood frozen in time with, according to Lynn Plack, "the original kitchen, bathrooms, and floor plan ... alll untouched."
The interior architectural details told the story of old Baltimore gentility in an era out of "The Great Gatsby." High ceilings, interior columns, casement windows, 10 sets of French doors, plaster moldings and hardwood paneling on a grand staircase leading to an open second-floor landing whispered bygone graceful living. All of these things, including a garage more akin to a carriage house than today's two-car models, were the stuff of 1920s Ruxton.
In addition to the details, there were some choice goodies belonging to the owners that were in the house for the buying.
"We were able to purchase the portrait of Edward Manning Buracker, the original owner of Hiddenbrook, done by respected Baltimore portrait artist Thomas Cromwell Corner," said Lynn Plack. "We were very excited that during the move, the architect's original blueprints were found as well as all of the American Building Company's specifications for plumbing, electricity and the building materials, hand-typed on onion paper."
A slow approach down the long driveway treats the visitor to a grand stucco home of French country design. A pitched roof of graduated slate tiles contrasts with a central gable that tops an iron-gated second floor balcony over the front entrance. The bright exterior foreshadows the interior, the recipient of generous amounts of light from the bay windows, the sun porch and the multi-paneled glass doors.
But for the major appliances of gleaming stainless steel and counters of soapstone, the kitchen has been untouched. White built-in cabinets follow the walls from the main portion of the kitchen to a spacious butler's pantry.
The Placks have filled their main-level living room, dining room, sunporch and den with traditional furnishings. The dining room features 18th-century furniture.
Treasures include Ray Plack's Greg Otto painting of H.L. Mencken's house and his oversized sign collection, none of which contain wording, simply a carving or casting to indicate a particular shop or service.
"The optician [glasses] sign is a zinc trade sign for an optician in New York City circa 1880s purchased from an antique dealer," he said. "[A] favorite art object is the pair of cast-iron scissors, circa 1900, used as signage for a New England seamstress."
Meanwhile, work on the house continues, lovingly and steadfastly.
"It is hard to believe that the house is 90 years old and has stood the test of time so well," Lynn Plack said. "We love the country setting with huge trees and wildlife, yet we are only 7 miles from downtown Baltimore."

CINCINNATI (AP) — A body found in a vacant building is believed to be a Cincinnati college student who has been missing for more than a week, police said.
Lt. Martin Mack told The Associated Press the body was found around 9 p.m. Monday in a multi-unit building that is being rehabbed. He said the Hamilton County coroner is expected to officially determine if it is University of Cincinnati sophomore Brogan Dulle, and the cause of death.
Dulle's family issued a statement early Tuesday saying they were told the 21-year-old is dead. They thanked the Cincinnati community for the "love, prayers, support" and time given to them.
The Cincinnati Enquirer reported (cin.ci/1jUtco5) that the body was found hanging in the basement of a building next door to where Dulle lived in the Mt. Auburn neighborhood. No note was found.
Cincinnati Police Chief Jeffrey Blackwell told the newspaper that the landlord was at the building and noticed something suspicious. "We had a deceased male in the building that appears to be from a self-inflicted act," Blackwell said.
More than 1,000 volunteers helped try to find Dulle, who was last seen around 2 a.m. May 18 after leaving his apartment to look for his missing cellphone. About $20,000 in rewards was being offered for information leading to his whereabouts.
Dulle was studying to be a teacher and worked at the Cincinnati Zoo. He also was a local swimming coach.
