Same-Sex Marriage

Confidently, CuTRis walked through the crowd that had gathered for the early morning press conference. There were things to be said, and CuTRis was there to say them.

Definitely off the "beaten path," in a spruce bog in Northern Minnesota, this site boasts an incredible array of scientific equipment that is supported by an amazing technological infrastructure! There are control sites and some of the chambers have added heat, carbon dioxide, or both. A lot of equipment and experimental testing goes on 24/7, 365 days per year. These guys know their stuff. The 10 chambers are connected ...
