Lipscomb in Vienna: Meanwhile, in Poland… (by marleevogel)
*I'm afraid that the food in the States will make me sick because I am so used to the cuisine here in Europe.
*I'm afraid that my stories of Europe will fall on deaf ears and people just won't care about what I have to say.
*I'm afraid of the bombardment of questions that are certain to ensue: "How was it?" "Did you have fun?" "What was your favorite part?" "Tell me everything." All comments I am sure to respond to repeatedly. And I'm not looking forward to that annoyance, so I'm kinda bracing myself.
*I am afraid of being deathly BORED when I get back. There is SO much to do and see here and going back to the States is just gonna be so blase.
*I'm afraid of all the things I've missed while I've been gone…how everyone will have changed…having to reconnect with people and rediscovering my niche.
*I'm afraid that people back home will think me a snob because I've been to Europe. Which seriously upsets me to think about. I recognize that traveling the world is a tremendous opportunity that I am not at all deserving of.
*I'm afraid of being a loner when I get back like I was here because no one understands me.
*I'm afraid that my family and friends will take all of this as an insult, when I don't intend for it to be one at all. I miss America, but I don't want to leave Europe. I want everyone back home to understand that I will be experiencing such mixed emotions. But saying that won't make a difference. You guys back home won't be able to get it completely unless you've been through a similar experience. And again, I'm not saying that with an air of superiority either; it doesn't make me any better than you. It just makes my experience in my life not-so-typical. I've developed an identity here in Europe and it's going to be surreal, frightening, and intimidating returning to everyday life in the States. Living in a different culture just gives you a completely different perspective/mindset/worldview on life.
These are all of my inhibitions coming back home from my three month study abroad trip. I have been crazy homesick. I have been stubborn, not wanting to leave. All within the past month.
Apparently these conflicting emotions are normal. Everyone here on the trip can understand them. Everyone back home might not. Don't take it personally guys. But put yourself in my position. Would you miss everyone back home? Yes. Would you want to leave one of the most incredible places in the world? No. That can give you a glimpse of what I am feeling right now.
We had our last group devotional last night. And I cried. The leadership team gave each individual on the trip a gift that matched their personality or had something to do with inside jokes that formed on the trip.
Whitley was the Great American Tourist. Becca was the lost Amish girl. Deanna and Blake Lannom were supposed to have a dance off. Hunter loved his gummy bears. Erin was the picture taker of the group. Lindsey was the feminist. Clair was the momma hen. Anne Elisabeth was the rebel. Bennett was the argumentative brother. Marlee was the videographer. Amy was the dubstep lover. Kate was the awkward random Asian. Kaley was the female leader of the group. Kathryn was the RA. Virginia was the group sweetheart. Becca was the fashionista. Julia was the crazy girl. Wade was the always-late male model. Andrew was the opinionated drama king. Rainey was the musician. Dominique was the smiley face of the group. Will was the lone wolf. Hope was the undercover crazy. Scott was the heartthrob and the male leader of the group. Emily was the known for her farm back at home. Daniel was the sweet tea maker.
We had a discussion between German and Humanities today about RCS. It is a serious condition that affect many students who study abroad. RCS is Reverse Culture Shock. The link below is basically everything that we went over in class. We talked about what we would miss when we left. We talked about how we have changed. We talked about what we were looking forward to. We talked about the stages of RCS and how to prepare for it.
The scariest part for me? Apparently the easier it was for you to acclimate to the new culture, the harder it will be to re-acclimate to your home culture. And I feel like I acclimated fairly easily.
Further, I know RCS will affect me. At the beginning of our trip, Frau Swann drew a diagram of what our emotions would look like as the semester progressed. Her diagram was spot on with the way I felt during this semester. Knowing that, I have no doubt I will experience RCS. And I'm not looking forward to having to deal with it. But there is no avoiding the issue.
Read the article. It will tell you all about what I am talking about.
Lipscomb in Vienna: It's the Sights of Austria! (by marleevogel)
Photo Courtesy: letseatburgers
Okay. This entire last month I am spending in Europe is bound to be an emotional roller coaster.
The first two weeks of this final month, I was homesick like you wouldn't believe. And now…I'm not. I just realized I only have less than two more weeks in one of the most incredible places on the planet.
That's sad! I don't know when I will be returning here. It won't be any time soon. I have acclimated to the culture here. I even dress like a European now, or so I was told. Which is quite possibly the best statement you could make about my fashion sense. Considering the fact I am quite fond of the way they dress here.
And even though I have not been able to travel the past two weekends, I can think of worse fates than staying in Vienna, Austria in Europe while everyone else is gone. Haha
I'm not gonna know what to do with myself not seeing the same people I have spent the past three months of my life with. It's going to be so weird not being with them 24/7.
I'm going to miss the fact that they actually yield to pedestrians here. If they see you coming before you have even set foot on the street, they will slow down and wave for you to cross.
Public transportation is another thing I have gotten used to. It's hilarious that trains used to be a novelty and now it's not a big deal.
"Where are you going this weekend?"
"Oh, I'm headed to Paris. We are taking an overnight train there."
"Cool. Have fun."
At the same time, I do miss driving with my music blasting. I haven't driven since September 6. I might be rusty. Haha
And I am going to look like a straight up idiot walking around the streets of Nashville in complete awe that everything is in ENGLISH. I will hear English being spoken and understand! I will walk into a store and be able to read everything! What a concept.
Thinking about it, I am going to be returning to normal everyday life. And I feel like that is going to be difficult. All summer long, I was so hyped. Looking forward to this present semester. I was going to freakin' Europe, for Pete's sake! Coming back to the States, I feel like it's going to be kind of a let down. I don't have something huge to look forward to anymore. The excitement is done and over with. Woot…
I'm not sure I am quite ready to be bombarded with all the questions that are certain to ensue. In small groups this past Wednesday, Julia Rox and I were talking about holding a press conference for ourselves. Haha "We will be giving a blanket statement concerning our trip. We will be answering any and all questions afterward. Our visiting hours will be between the hours of 9 AM and 12 PM."
Because seriously, everyone will be asking the same questions. And we will have to repeat the same stories over and over. And people will listen, sure. But really, what they care about is that I'm back and life can continue. Telling them the stories won't make them understand. You just had to be here to get it.
Another thing we talked about in small groups is the fact that this trip has been difficult. We mused over the fact that previous Vienna students said it was life-changing. Yes, it has been, indeed. But with significant changes comes challenges. That was the fine print that we had missed before we came over.
Literally, this trip has been trying physically, spiritually, and emotionally. You wouldn't think so, but it has been. I would do it all over again if I had the choice. This has been an incredible God-given opportunity. I am so blessed to have experienced this trip.
It's going to take a while for me to process everything that has happened once I return to the States. How have I grown? How have I changed? What was my favorite memory? What was my least favorite memory? So much to think about.
Next week is Thanksgiving. Everyone's families are coming in. I wish mine could have made it out here. But I will be seeing them very soon.

Seriously. After hitting the three weeks' left mark, I have started counting down the days. Were I not in a money crisis right now, I think it would be more tolerable. But for real, these remaining few weeks are going to drag. I have thoroughly enjoyed my time in Europe. Do not misunderstand me. But give me a break. I haven't been away from home this long before in my life. I'm ready to be home for Christmas.
And I know as soon as I get back to the States, I'm gonna start missing Europe. And I may even regret being homesick while I was here. Irony.
Oh, am I flattered that you are a fan of my blog! It seriously gives me fuzzies to know that people actually read what I post.
Your obsession with me, on the other hand, took me aback and is-quite frankly-creepy. Especially considering the fact that it's anonymous. Had I agreed to your offer, I would be utterly foolish to do so. If you wanted me to know your identity, making me find out in the most round about way isn't the way to do so. If I did like you, I would have told you. I am a direct person like that. I don't hide behind anonymous messages.
More importantly, I have a boyfriend. And he's a keeper. But awwgeethanks for the spam; I can't say I'm a huge fan of it. It's not tasty to me at all. Kinda gross actually.

To Wong Foo,
Thanks for Everything,
Julie Newmar
Filming for To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything, Julie Newmar began in New
York City on July 7, 1994. Following three weeks of shooting in the Greater New York area,
the company moved to Loma, Nebraska for three months location work which formed the heart
of the film.
Director Beeban Kidron
on location in Loma, Nebraska
Production designer Wynn Thomas spent
three months canvassing 15 states in the eastern half of the country,
"auditioning" tiny towns to see which was best suited to play the role of
Snydersville. He was looking for a town which, according to Director Beeban Kidron,
"You could stand there in high heels and have absolutely no place you could go."
Producer G. Mac Brown, who accompanied Thomas on many of his travels, says that "the
landscape we were looking for was as important as the architecture. We needed a town that
looked completely isolated in the wide open spaces; one where the characters would truly
feel stranded. Most small towns are surrounded by trees that block the view of the
outlying landscape. To find an open landscape, where you can see for hundreds of miles in
all directions, but that is also within traveling distance of a hotel, is hard to do in
America today." Ultimately, the town of Loma, Nebraska (population 23) turned out to
be the perfect choice. Located thirty five miles northwest of Lincoln, and nestled on a
small plateau among rolling fields stretching out in every direction, the town was a
sleeping beauty. With no post office, no grocery store and no school, Loma is not even on
most maps. Yet the town still functions, nearly 100 years after its heyday at the turn of
the century, when its population was closer to 80.

Beats Music Gives Streaming Music Value
Since it was first mentioned, Beats Music has been promoted as the be-all-end-all of music curation. Using industry favorite buzzwords like "intelligent curation," "personalization," and "playlists," the service is making it look like its January 21st launch will be a big deal. Although several other streaming music services exist in the industry, it's Beats Music's paid-only format that could finally create some much needed value for streaming music.
For streaming music services, the struggle lies in making advanced features for hardcore music fans, while marketing a free service geared toward the everyman. The problem with this format is that appealing too strongly to one side risks upsetting the other, and a delicate balance can stall advancement in either direction. Eliminating the all inclusive nature of free, easy access then, allows for the focus to be directed more intently towards something like curation an discovery.
Offering only a quick free trial, Beats Music will be exclusively premium. This move alone is a clear indication that the service isn't meant for just the average lean back radio listener, and let's subscribers know that the features offered are to be taken seriously. While other services offer music discovery as a secondary (and sometimes laughable) feature, promoting curation as a paid product is something that gives the program value. In doing this, Beats Music separates itself from other services, instead of fighting for a place alongside Pandora, Spotify, and iTunes Radio.
Beats Music is not something that users can use the bulk of for free, and then pay for just a few added features. Instead, it's going to be an all-or-nothing service that people won't just use as an afterthought. It's all too easy to take the availability of free, unlimited music for granted, especially when the listener isn't actively engaged in the process. Beats' establishing a reason to pay a monthly fee could be what it takes to show the full potential of streaming music, and show if listening to new music is something people are actually interested in.

Steve Greer, one of the legendary All-SEC and All-American linemen from the Dooley era, a UGA athletics staffer for many years (he helped recruit Herschel Walker) and currently director of football operations, is retiring June 30. UGA legend Dan Magill reminisces about Greer's career as a player in his latest column in the Athens Banner-Herald. … Another Georgia legend, Rex Robinson, is now blogging. So far he's written about suspensions and the problems of living in a fishbowl, and on how competition from someone trying to take away his job helped make him a success at UGA. Check it out here. … David Hale of the Bulldogs Blog takes a look at the less-than-stellar prospects for offenses in the SEC in the coming season. Lots of green, relatively inexperienced quarterbacks will be starting, which means the league's defenses (including Willie Martinez's at Georgia) shouldn't be allowing 30-plus points a game. The pressure is on, Hale says.

"With those accessories to be given free to X-TRAIL and Sentra buyers plus the low-down financing schemes, NMPI truly has a knockout package for vehicle buyers," Mr. Abejero said.

Ehm.. I am new to this most excellent forum.
I am 28, living around Boston (USA) .. working as an executive in a software company (yeah, I know..... nothing to do with art), but in the spare time I enjoy drawing and painting both on the computer and with traditional medias.
I have worked for videogame and comic projects in the past, and once in a while I get a commission.. (I wish there would be more).

greetings all-
We work on Oracle 11g on a Ubuntu 12.4 Server. We have a Develpment Oracle DB that is the same as our Live DB. They are not mirrored in the sense that they have the exact same data all the time. We have to manually sync the dev db to the live (or certain schema/tables) as we need to or wish to.
I needed to add a new column to the same table on both Live and Dev DBs. Through a shell script I updated over 1 million records in the table on our Dev db. I now need to do the same on our Live db. I do not want to run the script as it does a log of sub-querys to get the info and takes over 12 hours to run. Now that I have the Dev db table set, I'd like to run a simple query in Oracle to update the Live DB table with the new field values from the Dev DB table/field.
I have public db link set up and it works. What I need is the query. I created two test tables to make certain I wouldn't bungle up the tables or the db with a bad query.
Note, I could import the dev table to the Live db, but that would over-write any current data that has been added since my script last ran. New records are getting inserted into the new field on Live. So, a query is what I'd like to use.

Thank you for that excellent response. While I would, of course, appreciate your further comments on the We Look Like The Enemy volume, and do have my copy at hand should you be willing to go to the trouble of retrieving a copy, it is really not necessary for you to do so. My reaction was merely aimed a clarifying what appeared to be an anomaly in your library.
On one of your general points, I suspect that we all underappreciate the diversity of lifestyles and ethnicities in any culture, as well as the diversity of individual interactions between members of those various ethnic groups. What I did not appreciate about this volume was the author's seeming crusade to exacerbate hatreds between peoples by digging up rumors and rather silly conspiracy theories as well as reporting well established facts. One can only wonder about the goal is of such a performance.

I appreciate your post to the Political Conservatives list, and was interested enough in your background that I decided to take a look at your list. Generally very interesting, but I do have one question on one of your volumes. I note that you have given a high rating to "We Look Like The Enemy." Can you tell me why?
I ask for the following reason: I received a copy of this book when it was first published and was asked to review it. I decided not to do on the principle of "if you can't say something good, don't say anything." While the core observation of the book is clearly right - that Safardi Jews in general and Mitzrahi Jews in particular were discriminated against during the period of Ashkenazi dominance in Israel [a not unusual situation given the German background of many of the Ashkenzai and the inherent particularism of German culture before the fall], the author was so incredibly over the top that the book lost any merit it might otherwise have had. It has been a while and I thus don't remember the particulars, but some of her proof "examples" sounded remarkably like Jews kidnapping gentile children to bleed them for their passover matza. It is one thing to point out that your people have been subjected to discrimination and the very unpleasant consequences thereof, it is another to maintain that your persecutor eats your children.
Perhaps I missed something positive that you can point out to me?

Hi Essa:
Good to hear back from you. I am well, and I'm trying to read as I can despite a heavy teaching load this term. I'm in the middle of an economic book, a memoir of Sandor Marai's (arguably Hungary's greatest author) and a history of Shapenote singing.
A nine hundred page book would take me much time to read. It does sound you have gained some valuable insights from it though--that's good. Perhaps some different views of Israel, Iraq, and Iran..
Happy Holidays, and I will check in with you again... rosinbow

Hi Essa,
I discovered your very interesting collection by way of that discussion we are taking part of. We do share some interests in books and in live. About the book you mention: when you google a part of the title plus name of the author you get a (long) article that gives the purport of the book, which realistic and hopeful.
posted by marieke54 at 12:52 am (EST) on Feb 3, 2009
Thanks Essa for the suggestions. Most of the ones you mentioned I hadn't heard of, so I'll have to check those out. I am not an academic or historian with a doctorate in medieval studies by any means. I suppose I would be considered a student or enthusiast, who reads as much about that era as time will permit. I am familiar with the Gies books and happen to like those. My focus in the medieval period tends to stay in Western Europe, mostly England and France. At the present, I'm looking to learn in more detail about the institution of feudalism, and law and punishment.
With law and punishment, I'm interested in learning about if someone was convicted of certain crimes (in medieval England for example), what were the penalties for those crimes. This could include "big" crimes such as murder, but also very specific crimes like if someone was caught poaching the king's deer, or if someone allowed their pigs to feed on the acorns in the royal forest at non-permitted times of the year, or if a tenant was trying to expand their strips of land by secretly moving a fence line. Things of that nature. Does the book you mention, Medieval Underworld, go into such details?

Hi Essa!
Nagarjuna/Hypberborean here. Thank you for the welcome. You have a very interesting library. It looks like we have several things in common. I'm particularly impressed with your books on Islam and especially about muslim women. A book I recommend you to read is Women in World Religions, edited by Arvind Sharma. Come to think of it, I would also recommend Muslim Politics by Eickelmann & Piscatori, and Mystical Islam by Julian Baldick (if you haven't read them already).

With the SW books - I'm like an alcoholic working at the Jack Daniels factory. I'm trying to resist the SW Vault - a lot of them turn up at Half Price and as Bargain titles - and my employee discount helps(or hurts, I can't decide). It must be proof that not even a CGI-crazed GL can ruin the SW universe, no matter how hard he tries. The novels often give more depth and life than anything you seen on screen.

He fended off a robber with a gun and lost his job because of it.
Don Pitaniello said his employer said he violated company policy by having a gun on him at work. He says he is alive, because he did.
Pitaniello carries a gun at all times and says he's fully in his legal right to do so.
"I do, I always have," said Pitaniello, former Mac's employee.
He had his Smith & Wesson .380 Bodyguard on him Sunday night, when he was working at a Mac's Convenience Store on 145 North Main Street in Rutland. Police say at 9:25 p.m. a robber entered the store armed with a knife. Pitaniello said it was that man who walked over toward him while he was at the register.
"I pulled the gun, kept it down, over toward the register," said Pitaniello.
Then the man told Pitaniello to empty the register.
Pitaniello, a Vietnam-era vet, then said the robber started waving the knife in his face.
"I pulled it up and said get out of here," said Pitaniello.
The would-be robber ran out of the front door and the 58-year-old Pitaniello followed him.
Then he says he went around to the side of the store to make sure that the alleged robber didn't try to get back in through another entrance, but he was gone.
Pitaniello reported the incident to police. He then said his employer suspended him for violating the company's gun-free zone policy. On Wednesday he told us they had another meeting and he willingly stepped down from his position after they couldn't come to agreement.
WCAX reached out to the store's parent company who said Pitaniello resigned and that their policies are customary for the convenience store industry.
"I'm not gonna argue or debate it, I understand policy," said Pitaniello.
Pitaniello has a full-time job at Timberwolf Manufacturing but took on the second job at Mac's because his wife Barbara, has a chronic medical condition, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), and they need the extra income to pay expensive medical bills.
"It's for us, my time off we spend together. It's for us, that's why I'm working," said Pitaniello.
He contends he chose his life over a job and he will find another one.
"I'll do it again," said Pitaniello.
Pitaniello describes that in the meeting with his former employer, he questioned what they were doing about keeping employees safe, since the store has been robbed several times. He offered to get trained at the Pittsford Police Academy and get certified to guard the store, but they didn't take his offer.
Police are investigating and say the full surveillance video is evidence and cannot be released at this time. The store's parent company told WCAX News that reacting aggressively to apprehend an intruder goes against policy.

Bull & Bear at Waldorf Astoria NY
Last night invited by my dear friend Michael Romei, Chief Concierge at the Waldorf Tower and General Secretary of UICH Les Clefs d'Or, along with our other friend Alejandro, we shared and enjoyed a lovely evening at one of the most iconic restaurants of New York, the Bull & Bear Prime Steakhouse. VIP treatment right from the start, when we were informed that we were seating at the Waldorf Astoria's General Managers table, and the excellent service, efficient and professional, but yet friendly and relaxed. There is so much history and myth in this room, that makes the whole gourmet experience even more enjoyable and rich. Every week, when the three of us are in New York, we get together to try a new restaurant and share week with each other.
VICEROY New York City Photo Tour
Yesterday, invited by their General Manager, I got to explore around the new and recently inaugurated VICEROY New York City. An urban retreat, right on 57th Street, located steps away to some of my favorite restaurants in town, and centrally located, for those looking to experience New York City in full and beyond the usual city attraction. Do not be deceived by the look of their lobby, which is tiny, understated and has not much character. The façade is defined by two shoulders – made of iron-spot black brick – that define, frame and ground the building's front elevation. Over-scaled, fluted, cast-glass bricks march over the building's twenty-foot storefront. Above this street façade, glazed black brick-and-metal muntined windows continue up the thirty-story building to comprise the bulk of the façade. When lit from within, they create the effect of a glowing lantern. These windows relate the new hotel to much of the traditional, iconic architecture in the neighborhood.
The High Line Hotel in photos
This morning I came, invited by the General Manager, to do a quick site inspection of the fairly new The High Line Hotel, right across the High Line in the heart of Chelsea, over 10th Avenue between 20th and 21st Street. Formerly Desmond Tutu Conference Center. .Each of The High Line Hotel's 64 rooms (including 5 beautiful cosy Suites) evoke a bygone era of a graciously decorated guesthouse. Guests will enjoy staying in light-filled rooms featuring beautiful hardwood floors and one-of-a-kind locally sourced furniture. Oversized beds with crisp cotton linens provide a perfect night's sleep, and plush robes invite you to relax after a long day. All rooms feature large windows offering dazzling views of the High Line Park or their enclosed private-garden oasis. Guests are encouraged to enjoy a perfectly brewed espresso prepared by our Intelligentsia Coffee & Tea baristas in the lobby. I reality liked the hotel, it is the type of properties I enjoyed, where boutique, quaint with basic limited services, meets understated luxurious touches, with a twist of local charm. NOW the great surprise to me, was the Refectory ballroom and staircases, which immediately transported me to a medieval atmosphere. This is a space you may rent for multiple private events, and more so for weddings, with access through a private garden, to the local Chapel. Enjoy my photo album.

2013 Richard Tucker Music Gala
Last night we assisted to the 2013 Rickard Tucker Music Gala at the at the Avery Fisher Hall at Lincoln Center, in New York City, where Soprano Aylin Perez, performed live wearing two Rubin Singer couture designs. Aylin Perez, winner of the 2012 Richard Tucker Award, is increasingly in demand at the world's leading opera houses and cultural capitals.

Saturday Night LIVE and OUT
So las night I experience a VIP backstage of SNL – Saturday Night Live, and got to hang out with Lady Gaga, during and post the show. I must be fully honest, I never cared much for her, and yes I got hooked up many time to her songs and marketing, but tonight I saw a different side of her. The live performer, the professional and the human being, and I must say I was impressed by them all in no particular order.
Grand Central Terminal behind the scenes tour
If there is something that always intrigues and interests me about iconic landmarks and destinations, is to dig deep into their apparent facade and learn about the myths and legends behind them. You saw my recent post on Buenos Aires, from my visit last week, and now New York. Invited to join this exclusive group of luxury concierges of Manhattan, by my friend Michael Romei, I took part of this exclusive behind the scenes 3hs tours of Grand Central Terminal and Beyond. The tour was conducted to detail and perfection, by Docent-in-Chief Daniel Brucker, who not only is an erudite in the subject, but also is known and referred as "The Keeper of Grand Central's Secrets".
Hôtel Americano NYC
Last week, I had a express stay at the Hôtel Americano in New York City, member of the Grupo Habita and Design Hotels. Located in the heart of the Chelsea between the High Line and the Hudson River. Quaint small hotel, very happening, on a rather quiet street, only two blocks from the Hudson River Park over 27th Street, between 10th and 11th.
Apothéke Mixology and Prescriptions
Inspired by the history and rise of the apothecary in Europe as well as the artistic influence of absinthe dens in 19th century Paris, Apothéke is the first of its kind. The entire experience from wandering down a hidden street to find the entrance, to tasting the first sip of a specialty cocktail made with exotic herbs and fruits – is a privilege. I have only experienced such take on mixology before at The Alchemist in Manchester, UK.
Morandi & Omar's La Ranita
Fabulous evening last night in West Village, New York trying two fantastic venues I would strongly recommend. The sophisticated, sexy chic and exclusive private rooms at Omar's La Ranita, over Filthy Vodka Martinis and great company. After that, onwards to a classic Italian dinner at Morandi Restaurant w/ Rubin Singer. Just priceless TGIF in Manhattan.

The Flames were burned in a 5-2 loss in front of 19,289 disappointed fans on Monday, as the visiting Islanders ended Calgary's four-game winning streak.
The game was a bitter pill to swallow as Flames fans got a taste of hope for this season as of late; Calgary was able to pull off a four-game victory tear against formidable opponents such as Dallas and Colorado prior to Monday's debacle.
Michael Grabner scored the empty netter that ultimately solidified the Islanders' win, and the entire play leading up to it is a true testament to the Flames' ongoing problem—power play and passing. A sloppy Flames turnover and inaccurate passing led Grabner to the perfect capitalization opportunity, and the unfortunate end to an even worse game.
Calgary's power play is a proven failed system, one that coach Brent Sutter doesn't seem to want to alter. Game after game it's the same story, inaccurate shots from the point, and that's assuming the puck even leaves the passing lane between defenders. They take minimal shots on the PP, and when they're constantly leaving it up to defenseman like Mark Giordano to finish, Calgary's in trouble. His inaccuracy one one-timers from the point reminds me of Dion Phaneuf in his latter years with Calgary, not a time many Flames fans are eager to repeat.
As far as passing goes, the urgency and accuracy just hasn't been present in the last several games. Even in their moments of greatness, when Calgary finally made it to a winning streak, its passing has been lacking—allowing for easy turnovers. Calgary's style of play is what I can only describe as consistently inconsistent.
Not even their 'top line' can be counted on from game to game. Strangely enough, the heroic efforts of Calgary's fourth line of Tom Kostopolous, Tim Jackman and David Moss has been the highlight in the last few games. Moss scored the Flames' only two goals on Monday night.
The Flames made goaltender Nathan Lawson look like an All-Star, granting him his first win with the Islanders, after Rick DiPietro left early in the second period with a lower-body injury.
Of course, it didn't help matters that John Tavares was right in his element, scoring two goals and one assist, bringing his record to eight points in the last five games for the Islanders. Matt Moulson scored two goals as well.
And although the loss was rough and well-deserved, Flames fans will still be glued to their televisions on Wednesday night, full of determination and hope for redemption. The Flames will take on the Canucks at 8 p.m. (MST).

A Few Stewed Cows and One Bull Equals Fun. There is a new horse in town, or should I say, bull. The Stewed Cow, 400 Adams Street, opened last week to crowds of appreciative locals. The bar, which is at the former location of the Gaslight, has been revamped to look like a saloon. There is a rustic feel to the place that would fit right in out West. This place is new for Hoboken that has an abundance…H-MagH-Mag
The Stewed Cow is a new restaurant/bar that recently opened at 4th and Adams (in place of the old Gaslight). With a long, high bar + some Western decor (skulls, a mechanical bull, and mostly rock/country music), it's a nice break from the usual sports bars in Hoboken. The redesign looks really great – dimly lit and a cozy, rugged feel.Eats & DrinksBuck Wild Eats & Drinks: The Stewed CowHoboken Girl

A touch of Texas has arrived on Adams Street. When we strode (good Texas word) into the Stewed Cow on a Thursday evening, it had been open only for about five weeks. It has a newly rustic décor with lots of stressed wood, high tables, people bellying up to the bar (of course) and—a bull.

There were shortcomings, but they have been subsequently built on and extended. The idea that mathematics, studied by thousands of dedicated individuals is in fact a complex trick played on the masses is laughable - do you think that this group of men really plan way beyond their lifetimes on a plot so ridiculously high profile and risky for the sake of monetary gain? firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-6187812747707644707.post-69858418598142898402013-04-23T07:44:01.359-07:002013-04-23T07:44:01.359-07:00love your article, very thought provoking. here...love your article, very thought provoking. here's my question.

Take 2 balls, one earth and the other sun.

O -o
Sun Earth

The dash on the left of 'earth' is where you are on our planet in relation to the sun at time stamp 12 o'clock noon let us say. So, the earth spins once in @ 24 hour period correct? And it also revolves around the sun @365 days for one year.
Okay, now let's move earth 6 months into the future at the same 24 hour time stamp of our location and here is what it ends up being, give or take a small fraction due to what we know the earth does through the seasons:

-o O
Earth Sun

You will now notice that the 12 noon is facing completely away from the sun!!! This is what is taught today folks and does not work if you simply use your clock and move earth around the sun.

Again, I am new in looking into this, so anything I may be missing please feel free to reply. Thanks!

The planet in its orbit moves around a center of a "little circle".. I recommend the work of 15th century Astronomer Ibn Al-Shater.

Just imagine, if earth did not move and the Sun went perfectly around the equator - the Sun would ALWAYS hit the earth in the same point

Seasons are accounted for exactly the same way regardless of helio or geocentric... the sun doesn't stay perfectly along the equator all 12 months of the year, it cycles from the Tropic of Cancer at the Summer Solstice in June, slowly down to the Tropic of Capricorn at the Winter Solstice in December. This fact doesn't change regardless of whether it's the Sun revolving around us or us around the Sun. Glad to hear you're interested in this fascinating topic... keep me updated with your developments! PeaceEric Dubayhttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-6187812747707644707.post-50304024657506587742013-02-14T06:54:15.365-08:002013-02-14T06:54:15.365-08:00It could also be that the entire Universe as a coh...It could also be that the entire Universe as a cohesive unit does not wobble, but parts of it do and not wobble along this path. It could even be that the entire Universe is completely flat with no wobble, except the Sun. The point is that the earth or the Sun must change their angle in order to account for the different lengths in day and the position of the Sun in the sky during the peak hour of the day.

Just imagine, if earth did not move and the Sun went perfectly around the equator - the Sun would ALWAYS hit the earth in the same point (center/equator), with the same amount of energy. Thus the weather would always be the hottest at the equator, cooling as you moved to the poles.

As I thought and this websites says - http://resources.woodlands-junior.kent.sch.uk/time/seasons.htm, the seasons are due to the angle the sun hits the earth as it wobbles across the sky according to the Heliocentric model. In the Geocentric model the earth must tilt or the sun must move via the Meridian to account for the sun appearing lower and higher in the sky according to the season. If neither moved at all, the Sun would ALWAYS appear at the same height during the peak time of each day. That is, it would ALWAYS hit the equator all year long, and we would have no seasons.

It then must be that the Earth does in fact rotate/spin in one place, and wobbles, or the entire Universe also wobbles accordingly. I hope I've explained it effectively. Thank you and I look forward to learning more!Life email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-6187812747707644707.post-1427562733727298842013-02-14T05:59:47.491-08:002013-02-14T05:59:47.491-08:00Hey Life Tinkerer, thanks for the great questions ...Hey Life Tinkerer, thanks for the great questions and comments. Whether it's the sun moving around us or us around the sun, seasons are explained the same way, namely the sun's travel from tropic to tropic each 6 month solstice cycle. I'm not familiar with the magnetic field so I can't really say much about those questions. As for the 4th question, yes, the name is quite deceiving because even people who believe in heliocentricism say the sun is not the center of anything, rather that everything is relative and the sun is only "relatively" central, but it revolves around the galaxy and the galaxy revolves around some mysterious blackhole, but they've never found the edges of the universe so they couldn't say where the "center" is. This differs greatly from Geocentrisism which says the Earth is the unmoving center of the universe and everything else in existence revolves around Earth. Heliocentricism should be called Acentricism.

1. Could "Foucault's pendulum and the Coriolis effect" be explained with earths magnetic field?

2.Is the Magnetic Field real and is it present do to possible Earth's rotation, the inner Core's rotation or it is just there?

3. They teach that earth's magnetic field protects us from solar radiation, is it true? or is it the atmosphere that protects? or both since the magnetic field keeps the atmosphere glued to earth?

4. According to Heliocentric model, the Sun is NOT the center of the universe, but the center of our solar system, correct? Apparently the largest black hole is the center of the Universe?
Your quote ""The heliocentric theory, by putting the sun at the center of the universe" threw up some flags for me.Life email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-6187812747707644707.post-22923006475205891622013-02-14T05:15:59.179-08:002013-02-14T05:15:59.179-08:00Eric Dubay I also had that quick idea but it canno...Eric Dubay I also had that quick idea but it cannot be. What accounts for the seasons is the fact that the earth is tilted 23 degrees facing one direction, and as it rotates on its axis, it wobbles. You can imagine this as when you spin a spindle on a table, when it starts slowing down, the top center starts to wobble until it completely loses speed and falls on its side. You will also notice this on a standing globe, where it is off center.

Anyway, the earth wobbles along this path around the sun, changing the position of the sun in the sky (direct exposure to sun in same region), thus we get seasons.

As an inventor, I have a strong imagination capable of picturing motion of objects and with each new paragraph I attempted to piece together a mental working model of the information I was presented with. I could imagine most and had a fairly working model inside my head, however I did come upon some anomalies I could not fit into my mental model. A Google search of the Geocentric visual model cleared up some of my confusion, except one.

If the earth does not rotate nor orbits the sun, how do we account for the seasons and the meridian location of the sun in the sky?

This would make it seem like the weather would be consistently the same no matter which day of the year in any given point on earth, minus the variation of local weather and atmosphere movement, right?

The only answer would be that the entire universe has this 23deg wobble that is associated with Earths axis-tilt, to account for the seasons?

Thank you so much for this enlightening article. I was initially captured by researching that the Moon landings were fake and filmed in a studio - the visible puppet wires were a dead give away. Then the simple fact (though completely oblivious to it previously, even as simple as it really seems) that the top atmosphere is over 2500 degrees (it makes sense if you really understand solar radiation), then it would seem impossible to leave earths atmosphere, period. I just simply never entertained the presented facts intellectually and assumed empty space was cold and this was how the temperatures were balanced. I continued reading about Geocentricism and fell DEEP into the rabbit hole you presented.

Even if they were spinning in perfect opposition, different people at different times and different places on Earth should all be seeing different parts of the moon, but no matter where or when, we all always only see the same side. Excuse disproven! :)Eric Dubayhttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-6187812747707644707.post-34570500750535534132012-12-03T08:02:23.407-08:002012-12-03T08:02:23.407-08:00"NASA claims with no experimentally verifiabl..."NASA claims with no experimentally verifiable evidence that both the Earth and Moon spin in opposite directions at just the right speed so we only see one side of the Moon and never feel any of the movement."

I don't even think this excuse makes sense. If you visualize it, you still should be able to see that although you from your vantage point would see the same side or perspective of the moon, the person 1000km (for example) to your left and right wouldn't. They would consistently see a completely different side.

I don't think those are Heliocentrists per se, but more likely "spiritualists" who believe in the existence of "other self".. which in my opinion is a false interpretation of the real Djinn(s) in Islam (i.e. evil fiery creatures that help Satan\Shaitan to seduce\temp humans, and every one of us has a one of them.)

btw, those are the real power behind most of the "weird ET\non-human phenomena"ibn Salamahttp://email@example.com
