Frank Wilczek has presented a way of looking at the world which is curiously consonant with Lattice Quantum Gravity approaches a la Renate Loll, John Barrett, Lee Smolin, Carlo Rovelli and others. The world as lattice---what Wilczek calls the Grid.
It is oddly reminiscent of spin networks and their evolution as spinfoam in LQG. Wilczek's vision is background independent in the sense that it does not start with any static concept of space as a stage set for other entities to move around in. Dynamics is not the motion of entities in a static space, but is the dynamics of space itself. The stage becomes the principle actor in the play. This idea is at the heart of contemporary non-string quantum gravity. It is also what Wilczek has developed, coming from a different direction.
Wilczek carries this idea a long ways. His ideas will, I think, resonate and inspire people interested in quantum gravity. So what is Wilczek's overall vision?
Mental images and analogies are mostly wrong and just confuse people, but from time to time a great physicist will teach us a new way to look at the ground of being---a profound new vision of space and matter. Frank Wilczek proposes looking at empty space as the Grid, with particles merely being disturbances in the Grid.
What we might think of as properties of separate particles are more coherently seen as properties of the Grid. In particular, particle masses are explained by a process analogous to superconductivity. Particles are given mass by how the Grid responds to them.
But look, the 1915 Einstein equation of GR was the first equation that linked matter (on the righthand side) with the geometric response of the Grid (on the lefthand side). We always knew this in a sense. Mass (both gravitational and inertial) is how it interacts with geometry---both how it shapes geometry and, in turn, is guided, told by inertia how to move. Didn't we always suspect what Wilczek is now telling us, in greater revelatory detail?
You could say that Wilczek is pushing a new paradigm (that should set the buzzword buzzers off!). But I think it is much simpler than that----he is, in pragmatic spirit, drawing a practical conclusion from the success of lattice calculations and the standard model. It works, so let's think of the vacuum as a lattice and imagine matter fields as disturbances therein.
Out of this, Wilczek gets a kind of new background independent* ontology, and a take on where presentday fundamental physics is in the history of physics. He has written it up in various places. One can google with terms like Wilczek and Grid. (Maybe "multicolored superconductor" would also work )
*what I mean by this is what quantum gravitists frequently mean, no reference to any fixed background metric geometry. More generally, space itself is dynamic, not a set stage but the major actor in the play. Call it "the Ether" if you like and worry about how Lorentz invariance is preserved later.
I'll get some links later. Have to go out.
If anyone has comment on Wilczek's vision of fundamental physics, or links to his writings, please contribute. Would love to hear comment on F.W. ideas.

Back now (had to be out for a few hours).
the first Wilczek link we should explore is his 2005 Nobel speech, published in the Proceedings of the NAS
Everything I'm talking about is in essence here or foreshadowed. And there is a lot more. Rereading it I see there is a lot more here than I saw back 3 years ago. It's a good speech because since he is speaking to peers he lays his thoughts out concisely and completely, without as much analogy and paraphrase as one gets in popular writing.
Here is a sample portion of that speech. One section of the speech is called "A Foursome of Paradigms", and this is part about Paradigm #2:
Paradigm 2: Mass Comes from Energy. My friend and mentor Sam Treiman liked to relate his experience of how, during World War II, the U.S. Army responded to the challenge of training a large number of radio engineers starting with very different levels of preparation, ranging down to near zero. They designed a crash course for it, which Sam took. In the training manual, the first chapter was devoted to Ohm's three laws. Ohm's first law is V = IR. Ohm's second law is I = V/R. I'll leave it to you to reconstruct Ohm's third law.
Similarly, as a companion to Einstein's famous equation E = mc^2, we have his second law, m = E/c^2. Here, of course, E denotes the energy of a body at rest, and m its mass.
All this isn't quite as silly as it may seem, because different forms of the same equation can suggest very different things. The usual way of writing the equation, E = mc^2, suggests the possibility of obtaining large amounts of energy by converting small amounts of mass. It brings to mind the possibilities of nuclear reactors, or bombs. Stated as m = E/c^2, Einstein's law suggests the possibility of explaining mass in terms of energy. That is a good thing to do, because in modern physics energy is a more basic concept than mass. Actually, Einstein's original paper does not contain the equation E = mc^2, but rather m = E/c^2. In fact, the title is a question: "Does the Inertia of a Body Depend Upon its Energy Content?" From the beginning, Einstein was thinking about the origin of mass, not about making bombs.
Modern QCD answers Einstein's question with a resounding "Yes!" Indeed, the mass of ordinary matter derives almost entirely from energy—the energy of massless gluons and nearly massless quarks, which are the ingredients from which protons, neutrons, and atomic nuclei are made.
The runaway build-up of antiscreening clouds, which I described before, cannot continue indefinitely. The resulting color fields would carry infinite energy, which is not available. The color charge that threatens to induce this runaway must be cancelled. The color charge of a quark can be cancelled either with an antiquark of the opposite color (making a meson), or with two quarks of the complementary colors (making a baryon). In either case, perfect cancellation would occur only if the particles doing the canceling were located right on top of the original quark—then there would be no uncancelled source of color charge anywhere in space, and hence no color field. Quantum mechanics does not permit this perfect cancellation, however. The quarks and antiquarks are described by wave functions, and spatial gradients in these wave function cost energy, and so there is a high price to pay for localizing the wave function within a small region of space. Thus, in seeking to minimize the energy, there are two conflicting considerations: to minimize the field energy, you want to cancel the sources accurately; but to minimize the wave-function localization energy, you want to keep the sources fuzzy. The stable configurations will be based on different ways of compromising between these two considerations. In each such configuration, there will be both field energy and localization energy. This gives rise to mass, according to m = E/c^2, even if the gluons and quarks started out without any nonzero mass of their own. So the different stable compromises will be associated with particles that we can observe, with different masses; and metastable compromises will be associated with observable particles that have finite lifetimes.
To determine the stable compromises concretely, and so to predict the masses of mesons and baryons, is hard work. It requires difficult calculations that continue to push the frontiers of massively parallel processing. I find it quite ironic that, if we want to compute the mass of a proton, we need to deploy something like 10^30 protons and neutrons, doing trillions of multiplications per second, working for months, to do what one proton does in 10-24 seconds, namely figure out its mass. Maybe it qualifies as a paradox. At the least, it suggests that there may be much more efficient ways to calculate than the ones we're using.
In any case, the results that emerge from these calculations are very gratifying. They are displayed in Fig. 4. The observed masses of prominent mesons and baryons are reproduced quite well, stating from an extremely tight and rigid theory. Now is the time to notice also that one of the data points in Fig. 3, the one labeled "Lattice," is of a quite different character from the others. It is based not on the perturbative physics of hard radiation, but rather on the comparison of a direct integration of the full equations of QCD with experiment, using the techniques of lattice gauge theory.
[Fig. 4]
The success of these calculations represents the ultimate triumph over our two paradoxes:
1.The calculated spectrum does not contain anything with the charges or other quantum numbers of quarks; nor of course does it contain massless gluons. The observed particles do not map in a straightforward way to the primary fields from which they ultimately arise.
2.Lattice discretization of the quantum field theory provides a cutoff procedure that is independent of any expansion in the number of virtual particle loops. The renormalization procedure must be, and is, carried out without reference to perturbation theory, as one takes the lattice spacing to zero. Asymptotic freedom is crucial for this, as I discussed—it saves us from Landau's catastrophe.
By fitting some fine details of the pattern of masses, one can get an estimate of what the quark masses are and how much their masses are contributing to the mass of the proton and neutron. It turns out that what I call QCD Lite— the version in which you put the u and d quark masses to zero, and ignore the other quarks entirely—provides a remarkably good approximation to reality. Since QCD Lite is a theory whose basic building blocks have zero mass, this result quantifies and makes precise the idea that most of the mass of ordinary matter—90% or more—arises from pure energy, via m = E/c^2.
The calculations make beautiful images, if we work to put them in eye-friendly form...some striking animations of QCD fields as they fluctuate in empty space...

[Fig. 6.]
The calculated net distribution of field energy caused by injecting and removing a quark–antiquark pair. By calculating the energy in these fields and the energy in analogous fields produced by other disturbances, we predict the masses of hadrons. In a profound sense, these fields are the hadrons. (Figure courtesy of G. Kilcup.)
These pictures make it clear and tangible that the quantum vacuum is a dynamic medium, whose properties and responses largely determine the behavior of matter. In quantum mechanics, energies are associated with frequencies, according to the Planck relation E = hν. The masses of hadrons, then, are uniquely associated to tones emitted by the dynamic medium of space when it disturbed in various ways, according to Formula We thereby discover, in the reality of masses, an algorithmic, precise Music of the Void. It is a modern embodiment of the ancients' elusive, mystical "Music of the Spheres."

Multilayered multicolored cosmic superconductor (Wilczek's Grid as ground of being)
thanks granpa!
that's an excellent article, which fits right in here, and also it elaborates on two or three of my favorite Physics Today articles by Wilczek. Now we don't need separate links to those Physics Today pieces (Scaling Mt. Planck...)
for convenience, I will show the abstract:
Four Big Questions with Pretty Good Answers
Frank Wilczek
19 pages, talk given at a Symposium in Honor of Heisenberg's 100th birthday, December 6, 2001, Munich; to be published in the Festschrift
(Submitted on 23 Jan 2002)
"I discuss four big questions that can be importantly addressed using concepts from modern QCD. They concern the origin of mass, the feebleness of gravity, the uniqueness of physical laws, and the fate of matter when it is squeezed very hard."

Sorry to come up with this possibly annoying question but, perhaps others wonder the same thing but knows better than asking it.
How is this "grid" to be though of attached to the identity of an observer - which would suggest that the grid is possibly not unique and that it rather exists a class of grids, who is interacting (ie interaction observers/matter systems), and that the grids are only compared by means of communication/interaction? (a little bit like rovelli argues about emergence of objectivity from communication in his relational QM) or is the grid supposed to be some invariant of the class of observers, or fixed background reference? But in case of the latter, then we seem to get the problem of time still, if we are to describe disturbances in this grid, this description must relate to an inside observer, right?
Or could it mean - which I would personally find intriguing and worth expanding on - that these nature of what marucs called "disturbances" in the grid could infact be seen as a sort of "inconsistency" in the grid, due to the problem above, of how to attache the grid to different systems - ie. two different systems (particles) have an "idea" of this grid, and their interaction is a result of seeing the other party as inconsistent with their own state, and this drives the interaction and time evolution. The idea could be that the inconsistencies are only relative in nature, and measures from respective grid, each party take actions on this?
Or how would you conceptually think of this grid, and in what way it solves problems?

Fra, those are such good questions! Thank you for adding them in here, I will keep an eye on them although I cannot reply immediately. Because I am just now beginning to appreciate how Wilczek thinks---or what message he is putting out for the rest of us.
His style is both playful and insightful, and at the same time truthful---he goes all out to crank up the reader's level of imagination while at the same time stay connected with empirical predictive observational honesty. For some answers, the best thing is probably to refer you to his personal website.
Wilczek has a website where he has posted some of his writings, including essays that talk about this Grid=Ether=Dynamic Space=Superconductor-analog thing. One of the best is a 2003 essay you can find here on a page called "core":
Wait. It is better to see the whole website by going top down:
You will see that he actually has posted a sample of his new book--he has Chapter 1 of Lightness of Being on line!
If you go to this you will see he has not only the Table of Contents of the book online, but also Chapter 1 as a sample, and color plate illustrations from the book etc.
But also at the website are many previously published essays which describe his thinking and which he evidently combined and elaborated and expanded and popularized to make the book. Essays like his Nobel acceptance speech, and this 2003 essay called The Origin of Mass
If you go to that page called "core" (again the url is http://www.frankwilczek.com/core.html )
you will see a menu of seven PDF files. Seven essays as a sample of a book of 40-some essays that he published several years ago.

The Origin of Mass
An earlier, concise discussion of some main themes in Part 1 of The Lightness of Being, with nice graphics.
Here is the PDF for The Origin of Mass
This essay gives an idea of what is in Chapters 1 thru 12 of the book, "Lightness of Being".
(after all Lightness is the same thing as Mass, just measured inversely. Whatever determines lightness is the same as the origin of mass. The title jokes in a multireferential way, echoing other things as well.)
I think "Grid" is a vague idea. It is important sometimes for ideas to be vague. It can be identified as the Einsteinian metric of GR, the gravitational field---which at one point Wilczek calls "the Mother of all Grids". The basic field on which other fields are defined.
He also describes how the Grid works by analogy with a superconductor--giving things their properties by how it responds to them--the essence is in the response.
The Grid can also be identified as the Einsteinian ether. Whatever it is, it is the ground of being----it gives other things their mass---and everything else, all the other properties---but mass is like the mental doorway. If you can see how the dynamic geometry of space might give things mass (a hard stretch of imagination) then by adding other colors and layers you might get a glimpse of how it confers other properties as well.
As a gifted explainer, he begins by concentrating his forces on one problem, the origin of mass. This is the oldest recognized most basic classic Newtonian property of matter. If we can understand how space (grid, ether, etc) gives things mass then maybe we can grasp the rest. So that is how he organizes his campaign to stretch our minds.
The Origin of Mass was published in the 2003 MIT Annual Review of Physics, and also in his collection of essays called Fantastic Realities. Fortunately, it is also immediately available online at his website.

Perhaps the universe is not so much strange as brimming with lovely paradox. The search for such beauty seems to lie at the heart of Frank Wilczeks work. Twentieth century physics, from Einstein through Wilczeks own Nobel Prize-winning efforts, involves demonstrating the existence of a topsy-turvy reality: for instance, that such sub-atomic particles as quarks and gluons, which have little or no mass, orchestrate themselves into not just protons and neutrons but you and me, according to Wilczek. How is it possible to construct heavy objects out of objects that weigh nothing?, he asks. Only by creating mass out of pure energy. These particles are essentially excitations in otherwise empty space. Says Wilczek: That suggests something beautiful and poetic: the masses of particles are not like, or similar to or metaphorically suggested bythey are the tones or frequencies of vibration patterns in dynamical voids. The theory of quarks and gluons and the strong interaction accounts quantitatively for the mass of protons, neutrons and ultimately you and me and everything around us. But physics has not yet squared away all aspects of the universe. Wilzcek says that in cosmology, we meet our match, and dont know whats going on. This is because scientists cant account for much of the mass in the cosmos. 70% of this mass is in dark energy, which is pushing the universe apart. Wilczek hopes that explanations for the dark stuff will emerge through improving equations, unifying theories of different interactions and extending their symmetries. Beautifying equations leads not to ugly consequences but beautiful surprises, he concludes.

I read Wilczek's "The origin of mass" in the tub last night. It was a good essay.
His answer seems to be that as per the current models, "most mass" except for the quark rest masses which is a minor part, is basically "confined energy" (gluons), which adecomposes the problem into
1. The origin of energy
I think this question is interesting if you try to construct the measures of these, from the point of view of an inside observer. I see this question of epistemological nature so that if not else, it means what is the origin and nature of *energy measures*.
2. The origin of *confinement* of energy
since "confinement" implicitly refers to constraining distribution of energy over degrees of freedom, and thus the question propagates into the origin of these degrees of freedom in the first place. And in this case this structure apparently is spacetime. So again we get back to the entanglement of Einsteins, which entangles these notions with properties of spacetime.
It seems wilczek's argument is to have QCD be the answer to the confined energy of the gluons in the hadrons. But as I understand it at least, the entire framework of QCD rests upon a spacetime concept, so there is still an element of circularity. So his argument so far is nice but incomplete. Like he mentions in the end, this may partially explain in a restriced sense most mass, but it seems to me that hard parts (the hardest?) of origin of mass remains.
Does anyone understand or see if Wilczek has continued this reasoning beyond these points (which I find plausible) to probe for answering the remaining problem, which I personally expect lines in this apparently "circularity".
It seems the things missing in Einsteins reasoning, is the structure of the observer. The only observer classes he considers are those where the observer are generated by diffeomorphisms. One can't help thinking this is a simplificiation, as in "moving the same observer around". But the internal structure of the observer, are can also "move around" right? And how can that not, impact it's observables?
This seems like a simple problem, but seemingly yet unresolved?
I will read more in Wilczek later... my imagination took a spin from marcus firsts posts, where did see a remote chance that a continuation of the grid-fuzz, might be able to address some of the remaining harder questions!? I will try to read more and add more reflections later.
I want to thank Marcus for all his massive work on starting and digging up various papers and possible original lines of thought, in this and many many other threads!! In particular for me who is not having this as a profession I have no chance to keep up with reading everything(I don't even have enough time for my own thinking), so I really value many of the threads where marcus has started it as a presentation of selected particular researchers line of reasoning (relevant to beyond standard model, and fundamental issues), that all might contain different angles on the general problems at hand. Many of these threads has also lead to interesting reflections from the various members on here.

Thanks for the approval and encouragement. BTW I ordered Wilczek's new book and put the link in my sig.
Sep10-08, 08:35 PM
I read somewhere in this forum (although I can not locate it right now) that Einstein was working on a concept of mass that takes the mass energy equivalence literally. The basic idea was that all mass is just a disturbance of a background energy field, or that mass is just a way that certain patterns of energy manifest themselves. Particles are not localised in the way we normally think of but are composed of energy that is spread out possibly to infinity and in this concept, what we think of as a particle is just where the enrgy is most concentrated. In effect there is no such thing as mass, just patterns of energy. Particles are much "fuzzier" than we normally think of and are smeered out over vast distances much in the way we think of a gravitational field or the curvature of space, except the particle IS the field or part of the field and particles separated by great distances are in effect superimposed on each other. One anology is to think of the rubber sheet embedding diagram. The normal visulisation is "cannon balls" resting on the rubber sheet indetting and deforming the sheet. The mass is energy visulisation does not have the cannon balls, and the particles are the indentations rather than the cause of the indentations. Sorry this all a bit vague, but I read the article a while ago and can not rememember all the details and can not track down a reference. The point is that the "mass REALLY is just a manifestation of energy" idea of Einstein's sounds a lot like the idea of Wilczek being discussed here. Can anyone here track down Einstein's original idea and compare how it similar to that of Wilczek and how it differs?
Sep10-08, 08:51 PM
Lorentz thought that all or at least most of the electrons mass could be accounted for by its magnetic field. unfortunately it never quite worked out.

"Strings, quantum gravity and non-commutative geometry on the lattice
Authors: J. Ambjorn
(Submitted on 9 Jan 2002)
Abstract: I review recent progress in understanding non-perturbative aspects of string theory, quantum gravity and non-commutative geometry using lattice methods."
This is and interesting point of view. Every composite particle and mass emerges "naturaly" from a field, when you view things in this "Grid". That, Wilczek views any field as a kind of "nothingness", which makes it self materialized when considered in a lattice. It is surely something that resambles what Renate Loll does. Hmm.
So, I found this article of Ambjorn, one of the main guys from CDT. He considers string theory and matrix theory (BFSS conjecture) in a lattice and talks about CDT later. It seems that lattices has this universal property of materializing things out of nothingness, like a god. I wonder if there is a general mathematic framework to make this task easier.
I heard that Tsallis entropy deals with some kind of hausdofian entropy, that is, maybe a classe of non extensive entropy (a non integer dimension may imply non extensivity, doesnt it?)... We know that the formultion of feynmann integal is related to thermodynamics, so, maybe, using that kind of entropy, it would be possible to define feynmann integral in a hausdorf space and make calculations on the lattice easier?
Sep11-08, 12:35 AM
I tried to look at his site specifically for expansions on "the grid". I am starting think that perhaps his new book is the one place which might contain this? Does that seen right, or have I missed something? I didn't see on a quick rush on his site much use of the word grid in his papers. On google it seems to associate to that book mainly.
I found this http://www.frankwilczek.com/Wilczek_Q_and_A.pdf saying this about the grid:
He says the grid "fills" space which at first sounds like considering space as a container in which the grid goes. But perhaps it is better interpreted as space as defined by the state of the grid. Then one might say thta the grid fills space, but still, no grid no space, right?
Sep11-08, 02:30 AM
I thought about this again and it sounds somewhat controversial. The first time I read it I thought he said something else. How do you interpret this?
I'm not how that is to be merged with what Wilczek says here, and where in this, is the new golden age view?
How about something like this
1. In the pre 20th century we asked ourselves what nature is and how nature works.
2. In the 20th century and the revolution of QM, we started to ask instead (à la Bohr) what we can say about nature, and how it works.
Now what is the next revolution, of the 21th century? If I may fill in the blanks, how about(?)...
3. We start to ask about the nature of "what we can say" about nature, and specifically the problem that "WE" refers to an observer, and thus the question of "the nature of observers" really aims to expand upon the 2nd revolution in the sense that we look close at the nature of "observation", and what is the nature and BASIS for "what an observer can say" about nature?
Is this possibly what Wilzcek means? If not, what he say seems to be a step back, and not a step forward?
Let me know how you others would think of this "next revolution", that I assume is sniffed here.
Sep11-08, 02:32 AM
And of course, in the end this may close the circle, in that what "nature is" is simply this, the matter we observe, are "observers" too. So the nature of things is "the nature of these relations"?
Sep11-08, 03:16 AM
So about this Grid.. Is it like a simple grid? Like lots of intersections and sides? What shape does it have? How many dimensions? Is it a hypercube? A cube? Is mass a property of the intersections or the sides? Am I understanding this correctly or am I thinking about something completely different?

Field Data Recorder
Measurement Class Instrument
The award winning SAVER™ 3X90 is a "best in class" Field Data Recorder that combines everything you need into a single small package.
This self-powered instrument provides 16 bit resolution, internal tri-axial accelerometer, temperature and humidity sensors,
USB connectivity, and you can turn it loose to operate in the field.
The SAVER™ 3X90 is powered with user replaceable 9V lithium (or alkaline) batteries and provides continuous operation in the field for up to 90 days. The instrument samples continuously and records data to flash memory when the signal exceeds a desired threshold. Data can also be triggered to record at user selectable wakeup intervals. This methodology offers two virtual instruments operating concurrently within a single unit - to provide both signal triggered and timer triggered events. Signal triggered events focus on times of activity (i.e. the times when things are happening) and the timer triggered events provide a framework to interpret the overall data set.
The SAVER™ 3X90 saves data with timestamps, acceleration time histories, temperature, humidity, and includes optional GPS capabilities. SaverXware can be used to analyze this data and provide information about drop height, impacts, vehicle motion, vibration, temperature and humidity cycles, and spatial awareness.
The SAVER™ 3X90 is a jack of all trades and it performs well in all of them.
Measurement and analysis applications:
- Full Waveform Recorder
- User-Programmable Sampling Rates (up to 5,000 samples per second)
- User-Programmable Trigger Threshold
- Pre-Trigger Recording (so you know what happened before the event took place)

Does everything have to come from something else?
The origin of life and the universe.
Showing single comment thread. View the full conversation.
Jul 31 2012: The universe we live in is governed by the rules of causality imo. My reasoning was that a world without a cause can have no effect. In our universe, there MUST be a cause and an effect, and everything is a cause/effect in some way.
However, I've also came to a weird conclusion that we also live in a world full of paradoxes. There have been paradoxes in many theories out there, but they still are useful and help us out for some odd reason. Like 0=0 but 0=/=0 at the same time. Makes absolutely no sense lol.
If we're trying to make sense of something illogical like a paradox, and some how we found a logic to paradoxes, then the illogical wouldn't be illogical anymore, it'll be logical. And that in itself is kind of a paradox.
I really don't know what to think about paradoxes to be honest
Aug 1 2012: I like you concept of cause and effect because it moves me to my next point, which is before time was time, didn't cause and effect need a catalyst. I mean it too must come from something. Quantum Philosophy defines these rules like cause and effect as God's Laws. They are part of the paradigm not above the paradigm.
Aug 2 2012: Those are passionate words. I see you have standards.
Quantum Philosophy is a "model of existence" in the event that God did create the universe. In this model, Q.P. has found a huge missing element in current physics. It has nothing to do with religious beliefs. It does not try to prove the existence of God. Q.P. does not take faith into consideration. However from this viewpoint Q.P. has found a true paradigm-shifter for the concepts in physics especially pertaining to time, space, and consciousness.
You can read the first chapter of the book by googling "look inside Quantum Philosophy meanings answers and promises" or we can continue to chat and I'll explain it bit by bit.
Aug 2 2012: Oh dear. Here comes the god of the gaps.
Seriously there is no evidence for any gods or goddesses. Just speculative guesses to try fill gaps in our understanding. Usually based on logical fallacies or to reinforce some cultural religious tradition.
God made it. But god is made by an even greater god and so on until you get to the point where you realise we just don't know and there is no evidence for gods. Just a nifty little trick to plonk in something defined as eternal and outside time to fill a gap.
Aug 3 2012: I don't believe in "God" that you speak of. I prefer to look at the universe through the lenses of logic not magic. You guys please try to stay focused. Don't get your panties in a bunch just because you associate the title Gods Laws with faith based or religious beliefs. The Quantum world is a miraculous place for those with an open mind. No one tries to burn you at the stake for mentioning the God particle.
Aug 3 2012: Hi William. The God label for a Bosun was a poor choice. It's linked something natural with something supernatural.
Logic has its place but can lead you down all sorts of rabbit holes especially if your premise are bogus. If you are going to suppose a God is real some evidence would be more compelling that coming up with some logic musings.
Quantum Philosophy is a "model of existence" in the event that God did create the universe. Sounds like you start of by assuming there is something called God that this created the universe and then play games with science.
Why assume a god. Why assume one. Why not a whole team. And while you are at it why not assume a daddy and mummy god and goddess made the universe creator bunch of gods.
Why do you assume I where panties and that they are in a twist. Sexist language doesn't help your argument.
Resigned. Sighing rather than upset here.
You don't need to mention panties just because the whole concept is built on bogus assumptions and works back from the answer you arbitrarily select when there are infinite other variations that you could play the same games with.
Logic games like this do not prove anything. Have fun anyway.
You seem like a smart guy. Are you just playing around with this or do you actually believe there is a creator god, just one, and that this is some profound understanding rather than metaphysical navel gazing? If so I'm curious why?
Aug 4 2012: I apologize for mentioning panties I thought it would get your attention because we were getting off track. It was offensive.
I read God of the Gap. Q. P. talks about it and says they are morons. listen to what I am saying and disassociate other concepts I'm sure reason will prevail. Q.P. used a scientific logic to identify what is.
These thought of God or many Gods, I never much took an interest in. was it one mass that started the big bang or many. I never really cared. I'm sure there is a reason to spend energy in finding the answer but that is not my purpose.
The logic is clear and easily understandable by anyone who has no strong pre-concepts or strong mental associations. I would actually like to get into the meat of it. I promise no spiritual foolishness.
Aug 4 2012: Being that I wrote the book I can assure you that it is not a snake oil. There is no deceptive essence or underlined intent. It is written in a way that man of faith can relate but I assure you it is pure the philosophy is logical from a scientific stand. If we actually focused on the concepts and not whatever it is we are currently talking about I'm sure you would agree with what it is that I am saying. There is way too much tension between science and religion. Once again, I am not into faith or religion my battlefield is logic. Let's head to my arena.
Aug 4 2012: Agreed that snake-oil might not be the right word. I think you are sincere. Yet, I found no better words. Yours would be the kind of snake-oil people get to buy into, like those myths about rhinoceros horns being good for whatever ills. Sold by true believers even though it is a myth. In other words, you are not selling snake-oil as a quack, but quite convinced that it is good for your health.

Spring football practice starts in the SEC this week, with LSU hitting the field today and Georgia on Thursday.
Here's the full list of the practice dates for SEC teams, provided by the league today:
Spring Practice Dates (Start / Finish)
Alabama – March 12 / April 17
Arkansas – March 30 / April 24
Auburn – March 24 / April 19 (Spring Game – April 17)
Florida – March 17 / April 10
Georgia – March 4 / April 10
Kentucky – March 31 / April 24
LSU – March 1/ March 27
Ole Miss – March 27 / April 17
Mississippi State – March 23 / April 17
South Carolina – March 16 / April 10
Tennessee – March 18 / April 17
Vanderbilt – March 17 / April 10
NCAA rules allow each team 15 spring practices.
Georgia's spring practice concludes with the G-Day Game on April 10. The intra-squad scrimmage will begin at 2 p.m. and be televised on CSS.
Georgia has a quirky spring schedule, with the first practice on Thursday and the second not until March 16. The interruption is because of spring break at UGA. So why, you ask, have one practice before the break?
Mark Richt and Mike Bobo explained that the reason is to gain additional meetings time under NCAA rules.
"Up until spring ball, you're allowed eight-hour weeks as far as how much time you can have the young men," Richt said. "Then, once you get into spring ball, you're allowed 20-hour weeks. So basically Monday through Wednesday [this week], it'll be an eight-hour-week type schedule –- I think two hours the most you can go on any day. On Thursday [because of the start of spring practice] we get four hours and Friday we get four if we want. You gain a lot of meeting time to do it in a split week like that."
LSU was to have opened practice last week but delayed until today to allow more time for newly hired tight ends coach Steve Ensminger –- a former UGA assistant (1991-93), by the way –- to get acclimated.

Friends and Fellow Dawg fans can someone confirm or refute the Aaron Murray weight rumors. If so, how is possible that our best QB option is allowed to balloon up to 240 pounds.
Can we get an answer on this one

I'd be well beyond shocked if he weighs anywhere near that figure. If he did, it would be all over the place and I've heard no such thing.

2010 is going to be different. We have a brand new defense, good thing. Coach Richt will emphasize defense in 2010. 10 of 11 starters back on offense. Murray emerges as the #1 QB in 2010 quickly and with our #5 ranked in NCAA running game, over the last 5 games at 247 yards a game, Murray won't need to do a whole lot. If teams come up to stop the run, Murray can throw to 4 Wide Receivers with 18+ ypc averages or 2 TE's at 15+ ypc. UGA will be a run 1st team in 2010 because of the QB situation for the 1st 8 games, by game 9, UF on Oct. 30, Murray should be ready to throw it or run it. And Coach Grantham's D should be running like a well-oiled machine by week 9.
Bottom line, with Ealey and Green, UGA will win the SEC East in 2010, then who knows what can happen.

Haters on here hear footsteps. They hear that big OL that jelled late last year all coming back with two pretty good running backs. They hear a big upgrade at QB and a healthy A J Green. They hear a Georgia defense coming AT them rather than back peddling. They don't like what they hear. GATA.

Here's hoping Dawgs fans won't need any excuses this year. After all, it's a foregone conclusion to many that the D will be the best in the league and they will go 10-2 with a shot at the SEC title. I mean, why even play the season ?
March 1st, 2010
3:49 pm
I'm excited about our team this year. We just always miss the perfect storm. We have great RB's, TE's, and WR's, but we have to deal with a QB that is unproven and inexperienced. I also feel that the D will be VERY good. Rennie will realize he missed out on a LOT of extra money by not sticking around one more year. Hopefully, Murray will be as good as he's hyped and he'll look like a junior. Time will tell. Can't wait for September.

I thought Rennie Curran was slower than 4.72. He is still chasing Roddy Jones from 2 yrs ago.
March 1st, 2010
5:10 pm
1- Rennie did the right thing by coming out, as did all other juniors that went pro this year. The head of the NFL players assoc is talking lockout in 2011. If an agreement can't be reached between the players and the owners in time there may not be a 2011 NFL season or a 2011 draft. The owners want a rookie salary cap in the new labor contract, so Stafford may have the last 40 million dollar rookie contract. An owner would be foolish to spend that kind of money this year when there may not be a 2011 season. Besides, if an agreement is reached and the rookie clause in included in the new labor contract, the owner would be able to get a player for half that amount or even less next year. Of course, some owners can be very foolish! 2- I think someone confused the freshman QBs. Mett reported at 250 last January, the S&C staff has him down to about 235 or 240 now. Murray has always been is shape. 3- I am not suprised at all with Jeff Owen's work at the combine. Jeff benched 545 last summer, strongest man on the team!

Preston, I think our perfect storm will be in 2 years if we can continue to recruit some decent OL to fill in for the ones we have now..and get them some PT along the way. Our RB's – assuming they stay around – will be JR and SR, and our QB's will be Jr's. TE (which I personally think will be the difference maker this year) will be best in the nation. Defense will be Jr's and Sr's too with some serious talent moving up…more positives out there than negatives. LOVE the 3-4 and although I think Rennie will be a 3rd – 4th rounder and pick up a few bucks playing special teams, I would have loved to seen his leadership in Athens one more year.
March 1st, 2010
6:02 pm
Someone sent me a photo of Murray and he looks alot closer to 240 than he does 210. 240 Pounds at 6′ or just shy of 6′ has me worried. Why would Bobo deny this rumor? Could be possible lose 20-25 in two to three weeks?
DD is worried
March 1st, 2010
6:14 pm
I'm thinking the same about the heavy QB. Mettenberger is a very big guy and this sounds like a mixup. No way Murray weighs 240.
March 1st, 2010

Remind me to rewind my videos on those dates. Or take a nap.
Really, who cares about UGA football practice?
It's gotten to be so embarrassing to care about or support a group of athletes who can barely read or write.

Ensminger was indeed a UGA coach under Goff. At one time he was considered to be a head coach in waiting for some SEC or Big 12 type of school. He is very, very well traveled now, many years later. Was he de railed or has it just not happened for him yet?
He was part of a dual tandem QB package while at LSU in the 80s, so maybe he has found a home if Miles splits. Who knows anymore?
Go Dogs

As a UGA man through and through, I will always recall the 09 LSU game where the entire team with about 67 seconds left just imploded and Rennie Curran, was run over by Charles Scott, on the way to a 35 yd TD. That could have/should have/ blah, blah won the game for UGA had Rennie been able to man up and make the tackle. TG and Greyhound that he is gone. Same is true of Reshad Jones and Bryan Evans. These two blew the 08 GT game with seagull, open arm, broken tackles on tech's mediocre running backs. Joe Cox blew the OSU and the KY game.
Go Dogs in 2010 …………..a NEW ATTITUDE and a NEW QB that can motivate the entire team.

How to Create a Visitor record
The following steps will take you through how to set up a visitor record in the Services System.
Step 1: Logging in
Launch the Services System (new window)
- Click the link above to open the Services System launch page.
- Select 'Live system' to start the application
When prompted, log in with your UCL userid and password (note: only registered users will be able to log in)
Select Services System from the Applications switchboard.
You will be taken to the Services System main page and will see a list of Service Requests for your department(s).
Step 2: Searching for Visitor details
Select the Visitors tab - you will now see a list of current and future visitors to your department(s).
- There are usually two options here: adding a new visit to a returning visitor or creating records for new visitors in your department.
Step 2a: Returning visitors
- If the person you're recording has been a visitor in your department before, it's easier and quicker to add a new visit to their existing record.
Use the Filter and Sort options in the lower half of the screen to show past visitors: select the Past checkbox, deselect the Current and Future checkboxes and press 'Apply' - you can filter further by specifying a UPI or last name or selecting an organisation.
- Find the visitor details on the list displayed and click to select it (it will appear highlighted).
Now select the Visits button to display a summary of past visits for the person.
- From that screen, select the New Visit button to add details of the new visit (see below Step 4)
Step 2b: New visitors
If the person you're recording hasn't been previously entered as a visitor in your department, select the New Visitor button.
- The first step is to search against UPI to see if they have previously been associated with UCL.
Enter appropriate Search criteria: try searching by First name and Last name. Use * as a wildcard. Click the Search button.
Once the search has run you can either select an existing record from the Search results (use the Details button to check the associations for the person) and click OK or click the Create New Visitor button to create a new record.
Step 3: Recording Visitor Personal and Contact Details
If you have selected an existing UPI, the person details will already be available, otherwise, enter as much information as you have about the visitor (required fields are: First name, Last name, Date of birth and Sex).
For new visitors you must also use the Assign UPI button to generate a UCL Person Identifier for the record. Note: the process of assigning a UPI will search again using the full information for the person. You may be prompted to select an existing person's UPI from a displayed list.
Click on the Contact Details tab and record at least one form of contact information - this can include a departmental telephone number. Note that the UCL telephone and UCL email fields will update automatically if/when a visitor is registered for those services.
- Click on the Visits tab to record add details of the new visit (see Step 4)
Step 4: Recording Visit details
- Visit details are added either as part of the process of creating a new visitor or can be added to an existing visitor. This is done from the Visits tab of a visitor record.
- Click in the first available row in the Visits section of the screen. This will add your default department. If you have access to more than one department, use the Select button to choose between them.
- The start date of today is added to the visit and can be changed as necessary.
- Enter the visit end date.
The 'Main' field is only used if the visitor is visiting more than one department at once - it will update automatically and is used to indicate which department is printed on the visitor's ID card.
- Next select the appropriate role for the visit: Click the appropriate role and the [>] button to assign it. More details of the types of visitor available are here.
Once the visit details have been entered, click the Save button.
Next steps:
- If you'd now like to create another visitor, click New visitor
- If you'd like to request services, including computer accounts, library access and phone extensions, click Service requests. More details on how to request computer accounts are available here, and for phone extensions here.
- If you have finished, click Close to return to the main Services System screen.
ID cards: If your visitor requires an ID card, they can visit Security Systems to obtain one - details from the Services System will be available within 15 mins of the visitor record's creation.

Latest Player Updatesclose
Tue Mar 12, 2013 5:15 pm Redskins re-signed P Sav Rocca to a two-year, $2.24 million contract.
Fantasy Source Spin: Rocca set a career-high last season with a 43.9 yards-per-punt average. The signing means the Redskins fully expect his surgically-repaired torn MCL to be ready for camp.
Source: Mike Jones on Twitter
Mon Jan 7, 2013 9:37 am Redskins P Sav Rocco will undergo surgery repair a torn MCL in his knee.
Fantasy Source Spin: Rocco expects to be kicking again by April. The 39-year-old is a free agent in 2013. He wants to play for another 2-3 years. Rocca finished in the middle of the pack in Pro Football Focus' punter ratings for 2012.
Source: Tarik El-Bashir on Twitter
Sat Oct 20, 2012 5:48 pm Redskins P Sav Rocca (questionable, knee) is expected to be able to punt on Sunday against the Giants.
Fantasy Source Spin: Rocca was injured while jogging after practice this week, and there was some concern about his availability for Week 7. The Redskins worked out three free agent punters on Friday. Rocca has a net average of 37.3 yards-per-punt with nine inside the 20 through six games.
Source: Washington Post
Thu Aug 4, 2011 8:03 am Redskins P Sav Rocca is stranded in his native Australia as he waits for the U.S. government to grant him a work visa.
Fantasy Source Spin: The Redskins aren't worried as they haven't signed another punter yet. They are hoping to get Rocca in camp by Monday. "If not, I told him to get married to an American and that'll make it easier," coach Mike Shanahan joked. Rocca already has a wife in Australia.
Source: Courier Mail
Thu Jul 28, 2011 6:35 pm Redskins agreed to terms with P Sav Rocca, formerly of the Eagles.
Fantasy Source Spin: Mike Shanahan loves him some old punters. (He was also reported to be targeting Brad Maynard.) Rocca, entering his age-38 season, did rank eighth in the NFL in net average last season, so he's a much better option than Maynard or incumbents Josh Bidwell and Sam Paulescu. The Skins still won't win many games.
Source: Grant Paulsen on Twitter
Wed Mar 2, 2011 4:30 pm The Eagles did not extend tenders to P Sav Rocca and LB Omar Gaither, making them unrestricted free agents.
Fantasy Source Spin: Gaither fell out of favor awhile ago, so the Eagles' decision to part ways isn't the least bit surprising. Rocca is entering his age-38 season. He tied for 15th in the NFL in gross punting average and ranked eighth in net average, so the Eagles might still consider bringing him back for one more year. Only six punters forced returners to fair catch more punts than Rocca in 2010.
Source: Jeff McLane on Twitter
Thu Apr 22, 2010 12:27 pm Eagles re-signed restricted free agent P Sav Rocca to a one-year, $1.101 million contract.
Fantasy Source Spin: Rocca's 42.4 average was in the lower half of the league, but he finished in the middle of the pack in net average at 38.3. The Eagles signed Durant Brooks in February, so Rocca will have to fight to keep his job this summer.
Thu Mar 4, 2010 7:49 pm The Eagles extended an original pick tender to restricted free agent P Saverio Rocca.
Fantasy Source Spin: Rocca is 36, so the Birds wouldn't be opposed to finding a long-term solution. He's also struggled with his hang time. The Eagles did sign Durant Brooks to a futures contract this winter. Brooks was an elite college punter.

Usually you need some sort of external casing (aka $200 accessory) to achieve a waterproof and shock resistant camera. Olympus' new digi still camera, the u1030SW (the SW stands for Shock/Waterproof), promises to offer all that and 10 megapixels of shooting power. According to Akihabranews, it can survive a 6' fall, take a 200lb man's ass (that should read 'sitting' not a 'wide angle lens') and be submerged into up to 30' of water. No word on price or availability.

Telecoms consultants (Source: Telecoms analyst house Analysys Research, 2007) have identified that average revenue leakage amongst global telecom operators increased to 13.6 percent in 2007, from 12.1 percent in 2006. Blugem's test call generator system can help prevent revenue leakage by independently testing the operator's network and identifying the root cause of the problem.
The following are a few examples of the revenue assurance issues discovered by our TCG system
5% of PostPaid Mediation CDRs were missing and unbilled by an Operator.
Our TCG system detected £89k of lost revenues in a single day (£2.49 million a month), over 700,000 Voice and SMS unrated CDRs were recovered by one Operator .
Roaming tests identified data usage allowances exceeded the expected cap rate whilst testing roaming Sims in the USA.
Long call duration testing revealed that one Operator was under-metering call durations by up to 68mins of unbilled air time.
A Voice and SMS 'free' bundle tariff plan was applied twice during the same month, consequently around 30% of the calls for this tariff were unbilled by the Operator due to a bundle rule error.
12% of PostPaid short call durations between 300 milliseconds and 1 second were zero rated and unbilled by an Operator.
The system simulates the subscriber making a call on the network and logs the call result including accurate call timing from the layer 3 connect and disconnect time-stamps received from the switch. Our test call generator system is perfect for testing NGN/IP based upgrades or new MVNO networks.
We can generate large call volumes for bulk traffic generation using a variety of Fixed-line and GSM 2G/3G/4G call-type scenarios. Deployment is quick, and is a cost effective method for short or long-term network upgrade projects that require testing before live implementation.
Our system supports telecom operators by helping them to comply with telecoms metering and billing regulations, and is an effective tool for providing testing evidence to support the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.

Public Research in Regional Networks of Innovators: A Comparative Study of Four East-German Regions
AbstractUniversities and public research organizations are said to be an integrative and essential element of a functioning innovation system as they play a vital role not only in the generation of new technological knowledge, but also in its diffusion. We analyse four East German local networks of innovators which differ in structure and innovative performance and investigate the characteristic role of public research within these local systems by applying methods of social network analysis. Our results show that universities and non-university institutions of public research are key actors in all regional networks of innovators both in terms of patent output and in terms of centrality of their position in the networks. Further we find the 'thicker' networks to have more central public research organizations. Higher centrality of public research compared to private actors may be due to the fact that universities are explicitly designed to give away their knowledge and that they increasingly face the need to raise external funds.

Video Marketing and Fair Use EBook – Discount for ReelSEO Readers!
Media Mogul Daisy Whitney today released her eBook: Keeping You and Your Content Out of Court: A guide to understanding the Fair Use Doctrine in the digital media age. This eBook is being touted as a "must-read for media producers," and is now available for immediate download.
To get a 10% discount on this book, visit The New Media Minute eBooks section and enter the promo code "reelseo." ReelSEO recent did a podcast interview with Daisy, and a video interview at the recent adtech San Francisco conference.
Fair Use – one of the most critical issues for online video professionals understand
Daisy writes in her book's introduction:
"When the copyright doctrine of fair use was established in 1976 you pretty much had to own a printing press to be in a position to violate copyright. Now in 2009 with the free-wheeling world of YouTube, camera cell phones and consumer-generated content, virtually anyone who makes a video, snaps a photo or creates a podcast risks infringing on copyright. Even a mom videotaping her kids eating breakfast while music plays in the background can get sued (and such a mom did get sued).
But when it comes to Internet video, documentaries, Web shows, podcasts, photography, blogging and journalism, nobody has to be sued if they understand the guidelines. To stay out of court requires a thorough understanding of the copyright doctrine surrounding fair use. Fair use is one of the most critical issues for the new generation of content producers to understand."
eBook Table of Contents & Topics
The following is an overview of the topics you can expect to find in the eBook. Some are actual headings, others are more of overall subject matter:
- Why Fair Use Matters
- Why Fair Use is an art, not a science
- Fair Use: A Sword or Shield
- What Is Fair Use?
- Factors determining Fair Use analysis
- Fair Use court cases (and resolutions)
- The Four-Point Test in judging Fair Use
- Parody vs. Satire
- How much is too much (to take)?
- What attracts attention (for legal action)
- Is News Exempt?
- Criticism in Video
- Rights, Responsibilities, and Ethics
Throughout the eBook are tips, citings of actual court cases, and easy-to-follow examples for all professional types on applying Fair Use in online video production, publication and marketing.
For more coverage on Fair Use and Daisy's book, also check out my other ReelSEO article: "Fair Use" in Online Video Marketing – The Daisy Whitney Interview.

Grande Champagne
Cognac is rarely born of a single eau-de-vie or a single growing area, but generally from a blend of different ages and crus, sometimes up to a hundred of them.
It can be made also exclusively from certain "cru", for example exclusively from "Grande Champagne", but of different ages.
Grande Champagne : about 13,000 hectares of clay and compact chalk soil. The Grande Champagne cru is located around the town of Segonzac. It produces a very fine, high-quality Cognac. It is known as the Premier Cru du Cognac.
Items 11 to 20 of 93 total

Couprie - Hors d'Age
This rich, expertly-blended Cognac is distilled in a generations-old 10 hectolitre pot still and aged in Limousin oak barrels in our calm, dark, humid cellars. Patient natural ageing has done wonders for this Hors d'Age blend.

Couprie - Napoléon
The youngest Cognac in this blend is aged for long time in Limousin oak barrels (including several years in new barrels).

Hello. I attended the MCC New Wineskins Summit in Winnipeg, Ca last week. Read more about me below if you want to know why I attended. Read on for my brief opinions and McCain maverick-like move at the end.
I am not an alarmist and believe in moderation but I am afraid of the future of MCC. That's strong, but I'm serious. I don't think in 40 years MCC will be as we recognize it today. That is a good thing. I am not afraid of that. Its programs and missions need tweaking because of globalization, but they are generally executed with the right attitude and necessary risk-taking (and all in the name of Christ, of course).
I am afraid of the decision-making process it will take to get us there. It could be ugly but turn out OK, much like the Democratic primary season. Already those established in power are being shown up by uppity, young community organizers who don't look like the faces on a U.S. 20 dollar bill. I was hoping for a little less politics in the MCC change and decision-making system, but we all know that's not going to happen!
After listening to the diverse concerns of the MCC constituency, which MCC leadership is doing well via summits and listening teams throughout the world, the MCC Inquiry Task Force, Steering Committee, then executive leadership will have tough choices to make. As a result of those choices, some people will lose power; others will gain it. Some programs will lose funding; others will make their own money and be self-sustaining. If the choices the leadership makes are daring enough, MCC culture might actually change, which is the only way MCC will integrate globally.
Why is this scary to me? Because when a volunteer/staff-driven organization starts making tough choices people get hurt. That's why we don't like to make tough choices, we want to please everyone all of the time. An Appreciative Inquiry style change process, which MCC is going through, is all very nice.
At the summit, I found points I made about MCC at its best mingling with my table partners' - the moderator of the Evangelical Mennonite Church of Canada, a Catholic Priest, an MCC Binational board member, a SWAP volunteer, a church leader from Tanzania - on flip chart page after flip chart page. That was fun! We were all agreeing to disagree and putting our differences aside for the good of the group and respect for the process. We kept it light and fluffy and did not clarify when we said things like "MCC should remain connected to the church" (what church? how? for how long? financially? structurally?) or "MCC should recruit more young adults" (what ages? how? give incentives like tuition reimbursement? pay more?). Then all of those points were added to the other 30 tables' points in one big strategic priority map that took twice as long to compile as any other strategic priority map our Appreciative Inquiry facilitator ever did in his decades of consulting experience.
Quite frankly all 30 table groups seemed to agree that MCC's mission was strong and still relevant and effective. Increase partnership at the local country level, establish a flexible, global governance structure, and respond to people in need especially in high-conflict, high-risk areas in the name of Christ. Programs, mission, need to globalize but still strong, check! Decision-making….. not so check.
Leadership is about choosing based on limited information. OK, so, the MCC executive leadership is going through a process to gather more information to make an informed, collaborative decision of MCC's priorities, new mission, vision, and structure. Great. So how will they choose what to do, and what will be the repercussions? Is the MCC constituency ready for the fall-outs of a new structure? Can we manage them appropriately? Is MCC leadership going to do this in an authentic manner that models the change Mennonites wish to bring to the world?
I'm now staging a McCain maverick-style ruse: I am suspending my opinions until MCC leadership has made a decision. And I'll be happy to give my opinion on that decision :)
Why I think I attended:
I did SALT in Ethiopia and worked for MCC East Coast during grad school but now I work in DC at an association of international NGOs called InsideNGO. MCC is a member, along with over a hundred other international NGOs like Save the Children, CARE, etc. I believe I was invited to participate in the summit because 1) of my prior experience working for MCC and 2) I am a young, "racial/ethnic" Mennonite female.
If you found this post interesting, you might like to read these posts as well:
Roxy, thanks for sharing your thoughts on the process. I think you've got a healthy skepticism about the eventual outcome of the process. I suspect your experience working as a staff member of MCC may have helped you on that front. Those of us coming in from the outside perhaps were a bit more caught up in the inherent optimism of the process. You are right that the difficult work will all be in the distillation (or fermentation) process and then in implimentation.
I wrote up my own thoughts on the process along with some photos here.
Thanks for writing Roxy. Tim and I were wondering if we'd have a chance to get something up on this blog about what we've experienced.
Luckily, there were only 20 tables, btw…and one place of continuity of the discussion at least would be that one of the main people in your hot-team/rapid prototyping group is someone on the ITF and she was in the same discussion in the Philippines. Since y'all were talking about Human Resources, etc. I think that it was great to see some continuity of that discussion, as it directly relates to appropriately hiring and firing, changing funding levels, tuition reimbursements etc.
I led a hot-team/rapid prototyping discussing the church…as in "who are we talking about when we say "the church". we recommended that MCC discontinue the use of word "owner/ownership" in its bylaws and also to not conflate "church" and "institutions" i.e. MC Canada because the church is changing
I don't know how we'll be able to handle all of the concerns, but it is comforting that the ITF and Steering Committee are not making a final decision (once-and-for-all) but maybe only for the next 20 years.
Most of the hard part begins in October when the ITF meets.
And you can suspend your opinions, but please do send us your prayers…

We had a head of cauliflower that we needed to use up last night (always great inspiration), and decided to look for a new recipe instead of making my delicious go-to roasted cauliflower. We came up with this Paleo Cauliflower Chicken Casserole, which originated from a cooking blog called Maoomba. We added and subbed some ingredients depending on what we had in the kitchen.
- one head of cauliflower
- 3 cloves of garlic, chopped
- one red bell pepper, chopped
- one green bell pepper, chopped
- 1 cup green onions (white and green parts), chopped
- 1 tsp chile powder
- 1 tablespoon Southwest Chipotle seasoning
- ½ tsp cumin
- salt, as desired
- 3 chicken breasts, chopped
- 6 strips bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 1 Roma tomato, chopped
- 3 Tbs cilantro
- EVOO or bacon fat for sauteing
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- Cut cauliflower into florets. Steam for 5-7 minutes.
- While cauliflower is cooking, cook chicken in skillet over medium-high heat, using drizzled EVOO to cook. (You can also use previously baked chicken)
- Cook 6 strips of bacon. Set aside, and use small amount of grease from bacon to saute red pepper. Saute for 3 minutes, then add green onion and garlic. Saute additional 2 minutes.
- Into a mixing bowl, stir cauliflower, chili powder, cumin, chipotle seasoning, and salt. Once stirred, add sauteed veggies, chicken, bacon, tomato, and cilantro.
- Grease a 9 x 9 baking dish, and pour mixture into dish. Bake for 20 minutes. Serve. (Makes about 4 servings)
This dish is a great option for dinner, and tastes just as good leftover. It works as a meal on its own, or could be served with a side. If you want to un-paleo this dish, you could serve it over rice or quinoa! We added a little bit of grated Parmesan to the top of our servings.
We figured this dish made about four servings, because the two of us only finished half of the casserole on hungry stomachs!
Tell me…
What is your favorite cauliflower recipe?

The drummer for OneRepublic will not face charges in connection with a May incident in which he allegedly attacked his ex-girlfriend, according to TMZ.com .
Edward Ray Fisher had been accused of pushing his ex through her cabinets inside her Denver, Colorado, home. He was arrested for alleged destruction of private property, disturbing the peace and assault.
TMZ says the case will soon be dismissed by a judge at the request of Denver prosecutors, who cite insufficient evidence as the reason for their decision.
