The Big Bang Theory Review: More Of The Sameby Jim Garner at . Comments
To my surprise, "The Date Night Variable" did not kick off The Big Bang Theory Season 6 with Howard's return to Earth.
I guess space is just a cooler place to have a story take place than the North Pole, as we didn't get to see the boys at the latter location between Seasons 2 and 3. Oh, sure we got a few flashbacks, but those are just not the same.
So why does it feel like Chuck Lorre and Bill Prady missed the mark? Instead using this amazing setting as an opportunity to tell a unique story, they placed the focus on Howard settling a fight via phone and video between his mom and Bernadette. Didn't he do something similar from space camp before he left Earth?
There are just so many original things they could have done; that manly-looking Russian Cosmonaut (who sounded like his mother) that is attracted to him and chasing him around the module in free-floating air could have great potential.
Then we had Sheldon and Amy, where the former found a loophole in the relationship agreement that allowed him to bring Raj along. After Raj left, Amy decided she was done with Sheldon - and I was cheering for her. Then she let a recycled line from Spiderman pull her back in. Okay, it was a good line, I'll give Sheldon that.
But isn't it time for him to evolve a little? What happened to her plan to make her want her more by playing off his subconscious? Wouldn't he grow a little after two years and realize bringing a third wheel is a bad idea? The whole thing just came across like so much time on a treadmill, lots of motion but no forward progress.
Speaking of which: Leonard and Penny are still in a relationship but not sure where they stand. I was really hoping that Penny would break down and say I Love You to Leonard.
Sadly no, we got more treadmill running from the two of them as well. While there were several good Big Bang Theory quotes in the episode, it felt like the only original scene was Raj and Stuart having drinks and eventually making a date (without calling it a date). Here's hoping episode two has a bit more bang and less fizzle in it.

Tried catching up on TBBT, a show I once loved. But into S06E02 I am giving up. It's like watching TBBT without the jokes. Totally pointless.
Very dissapointing season premiere. It feels like we are watching the same things over and over. Too much focus on the relationships, and the same recycled jokes,and I don't really expect things to get much better. The show is, I am afraid a soap opera now. The characters have become stereotypes, especially Sheldon, who is, unfortunately, turning into a loser.
It seems most of you missed the point of the episode: Despite drastic changes in circumstances, the characters' basic tendencies DO NOT change. Howard, for example, is in space and married and he STILL is hectored by his mother. Sheldon is TWO YEARS into a relationship with Amy and he STILL is living life on his own, weird terms. And Leonard and Penny STILL can't get past their own fears and insecurities even after surviving the trauma of an untimely proposal. That is VERY SMART stuff for a sitcom. The easiest thing in the world in this episode would have been for Penny to break down and say "I love you" to Leonard. Sheldon getting "human" would have been the easy move. Howard standing up to his mother would have been the easy development. Lorre made all the HARD moves by keeping the characters IN PLACE despite the changes swirling around them. Gutsy call.
how is beeing gay insulting??? @raj you are talking shit!
do you have anything against homosexuality? thats insulting!
The killing off of Malia Weston in Hawaii Five O and the refusal to give Raj at least an Indian looking female romantic interest (making him look like another desparate Indian) clearly indicates one of two thing: 1. TV does not think that two minorities dating or kissing will be accepted in an American TV show; 2. Indeed the white Americans fear seeing minority couples...dont know why..some fear...fear of how America might look in the future? I think the second is more accurate. Used to think that only interracial couples, especially those involving white women were not accepted. But, I guess it runs a lot deeper than that. If minority couples were accepted the lady who acted as Raj's sister (Aartiy Mann) would have been shown as his love interest. Instead they cast her in an inter-racial light...the audience, particularly the white female audience was not too happy and then she "went back to India" on the show and probably is gone for good. Some here on the blog may not see Raj as a representative of India, but I digress. The attitude of the producers who are probably reacting to a borderline racist audience clearly indicates that they think that Raj is different from the mainstream of American society. The show was pretty good in its earler avtars..however, they have been introducing more and more sex into the shows because they cannot show any violence..and it is getting more and more borderline racist. I think I prefer the crime shows, NCIS, NCIS Los Angeles, CSI, etc.
@raj: "most gays live in america" are u freaking serious!!!???? that has got to be one of the most stupid comments I've heard in my life. still laughing at that...
Hello guys!
Well, for me that was a really OK episode, but not a good season premiere.. I mean, a season premiere it's supposed to be more than that, right ? It sets the mood for the whole season; it gives the writes opportunitis for making big changes on the whole series... and this time they didn't change anything... Raj is still lonely, Penny and L. are still on the fence, Sheldon's attitudes are the same... very dissapointing...
Hello guys !
Well for me that
@raj : I guess most of us don't see Raj as a representation of India. He is indian, yes, but there's more to him than that. And although there are many comments, jokes,... about him coming from India, the authors have also tried to set him apart from India, by for example making him dislike indian food. As for indians being overtly portrayed as gay in the series, there's only that girl. Priya is straight, her ex-boyfriend she cheated with in India is straight, Raj's parents are straight,... Furthermore, we've seen Sheldon being misunderstood as gay (in season 2) by an american white gay male. And lets not forget Amy's huge girlcrush on Penny (and her many ambiguous comments). So no, indians do not have the monopoly of gayness in this sitcom, and neither are every indian portrayed as gay. Raj is indian, Howard is jewish, Penny is a "dumb" blonde,... the writers may use the stereotypes that exists surrounding those "cultures", but the characters never become the stereotypes themselves (imo).
Agree on all your points - esp about Leonard and Penny - though I was heartened a little by the friendshoip developing between Raj and Stuart. With all the other men in his life involved with women, Raj will need another buddy. But like everything else on this show lately, it will proabably go nowhere. I'm curious as to how they did weightlessness in the space station: were they filming in the traiining craft Ron Howard used in Apollo 13?

text: Intriguing new intra team rivalries set to ignite this Formula 1 season 9 February, 2014 Ayrton Senna vs Alain Prost: One of the greatest rivalries in the history of F1 carried on beyond the McLaren years "Rivalries in sport are awesome," that's Mark Webber speaking, and he should know: he was involved in one of the most intense rivalries we have seen for the last few years during his great Formula 1 career at Red Bull. Webber was looking back at the Prost v Senna days when McLaren's 'Dream Team' turned nightmarish and the two great drivers lost their focus because all they could see was each other. It wasn't quite that way with Sebastian Vettel and Webber, and in any case the Aussie has taken that element of F1 2014 away by going off to sports car racing instead. In the absence of the Vettel-Webber fights, where should we look for our rivalries this season? Fernando Alonso vs Kimi Raikkonen If we're looking at intra-team relationships, the first answer has to be: Ferrari. Like McLaren all those years ago, the Scuderia has opted to bring together two of the foremost drivers of the day in Fernando Alonso and Kimi Raikkonen. Will the feisty Spaniard and the Flying Finn work it out between themselves? Their ultimate boss, Ferrari President Luca di Montezemolo, even admitted that putting them together was 'dangerous', but it's a risk the team in red is willing to take as Ferrari seeks its first title of any kind after six dry years. Many people, Webber included, believe Alonso to be the best in the business, especially on a Sunday afternoon; Raikkonen starts with the psychological knowledge of knowing he has already been a Ferrari World Champion, back in 2007. Kimi Raikkonen and Fernando Alonso have been rivals in F1 for many years but never in the same team And Kimi doesn't move over – just ask Romain Grosjean and his engineer! "I don't see the reason why it wouldn't work," said the Finn in Singapore soon after the news of his return to Maranello broke. "We are all old enough to know what we are doing and for sure the team is working for the right things to make sure. If there is something, I'm sure we can talk it through. It's not like we are 20-year old guys any more. I might be wrong, but time will tell, but I'm pretty sure everything will be good." Why wouldn't it be? We're talking about three world titles, 52 grand prix victories, 38 pole positions and 60 fastest laps between them, so they know which way the car has to point. Switching from red to silver, what about Mercedes? They've just dominated the first hit-out of 2014 in Jerez and all seems sweetness and light – but will that continue when it comes down to racing for real? Lewis Hamilton vs Nico Rosberg Hamilton has the edge here: he's a World Champion, after all, with 22 wins to his name, while Rosberg has only just started troubling the scorers, with three wins of his own. Does being the German in a German team count for anything in these international days, or will ex-McLaren man Paddy Lowe balance things out for Lewis now that he's followed him to the Silver Arrows? Those are the teams likeliest to attract our attention if it's internal rivalries we want – and no, we haven't forgotten Red Bull Racing, but it will be a pleasant surprise if the next Aussie in line, Dan Ricciardo, can be as big a nuisance to Vettel straight away, as Webber was a couple of years back. Ricciardo is already on record as saying he wants to learn from the four-time Champ. "I want to try and get some success," he says, "and to do that firstly I have to respect him and then go forward from there." If you want a clue to Ricciardo's thinking, check out the animal portrayed on his helmet. It's a honey badger, and the sweet name shouldn't deceive us: he says it's the most fearless in the animal kingdom, a cute little guy who can turn into a bit of a savage. Was the endlessly smiling driver thinking of the animal in the cockpit? Daniel Ricciardo and Sebastian Vettel The Jerez test just gone suggested that Red Bull (and especially Renault) have some catching up to do already in the early days of the 'new' Formula 1. All fans will hope, for the sport's sake that Vettel is seriously challenged, especially as viewing figures dropped because of what Bernie Ecclestone euphimistically described as "the less than competitive nature of the last few rounds" of the 2013 Championship. Just to remind you, Seb won nine on the trot at season's end en route to a crushing title win… Not so long ago we had F1's 'Big Five' in action, meaning Vettel-Webber-Button-Hamilton-Alonso. With Jenson's McLaren squad in rebuilding mode, we should perhaps discount him as a serious contender, and Webber isn't in the mix any more. So the quintet this year is likely to be Vettel-Rosberg-Hamilton-Alonso-Raikkonen. And the inevitable questions are: Can Kimi rattle Seb's cage in a red car? Is Alonso able to use the Finn's experience to develop the F14-T into a Championship-leading machine from the outset? Is Nico ready to step up another gear into this exalted company? The odds on Rosberg look very tasty before the season gets under way. He has matured into the real deal, and beneath that urbane exterior there lurks a fine, determined driver. But in this uncertain age of power trains and turbo-charging, in the end it could be the team rather than the driver who decides it – and that's what we shall consider in the second part of our mini-series. As Webber says, rivalries in sport are awesome… (Australian GP Media) Subbed by AJN.

Boy am I glad that the media feeding frenzy over the ill-advised LeBron James/ESPN cluster@#&%, "The Decision," is long past. It just demonstrated what we should have assumed all along, namely, that behind that façade of loyal and humble Cleveland homeboy was the usual narcissistic superstar athlete that we have come to expect these days. The clues were always there, of course, right in front of our eyes; the royal and religious nicknames (King James and the Chosen, the latter tattooed across James's back like a billboard) and the third-person references ("I don't think he ever cared about LeBron," says LeBron).
But this post isn't about LeBron James. It is about what I don't care about, what we Americans seem to care about, and what I think we should really care about.
And let me make this very clear: I don't care about LeBron James or Lindsay Lohan or Lady Gaga. And don't even get me started on Snooki; at least the former three pop-culture icons have a talent for something. The reason why I don't care about these four people, and the legion of other professional athletes, pop stars, celebrities, supermodels, actors, and the absolute lowest on the food chain, celebutantes who have no discernible reason for being famous (hello Kardashian sisters!), is that they are so phenomenally unimportant to our lives.

I have a gallon of buckwheat honey and was thinking this could either make a very interesting bochet or an incredibly lousy one. So I thought I'd ask the experts out there that have experience in either bochet or buckwheat mead making, what is your recomendation of how to "mead" this unusual honey?
I have a few pounds of buckwheat honey that I was going to make a mead with. On someones recommendation I mixed 1 tsp of honey into 3 tsp of water to get an idea of the flavors hidden beneath the sweetness of the honey. It smelled like cow manure and tasted about the same so I've put the idea on hold for now.
Caramelizing the buckwheat might alter the underlying flavors, you could try boiling a small amount of the honey and then diluting it with water as I did to get a rough idea of what it would taste like. And if you do please report back because I'm curious about a buckwheat bochet.
I think the Bochet route is the way to go with Buckwheat. However compared to a normal light colored honey Bochet I bet this will still be a bit "wheaty/grassy" like. So I suggest a Bochet Braggot. I think the flavors of some liquid malt extract and hops would go well with the caramelized Buckwheat. I loved my Bochet Braggot and think if I had buckwheat instead of clover would just scale down on the hops additions to compensate for the extra flavors.
A painting says a thousand words. But a painting while on good mead just looks funny!
I too have heard of the not so good underlying smell and taste of this honey. There is a thread on here that even describes it as "barnyard" so you have helped confirm my suspicion. I do like your idea of boiling a sample amount to see the affect. That was also a great suggestion of diluting a small amount to get the underlying subtleties ( or not so subtle qualities as the case may be). It's probably not a bad idea to do that with any honey since it can very from batch to batch.
That's a good thought only thing is I'm not a hoppy kind of gal (although my hubby would llove this idea). But you have given me some ideas. I think I'll burn a little like Illuveater suggested then experiment with other favors (spice) like you suggested to see what either helps or masks any unpleasentness. I definitely want to go the bochet route, only because I've been dying to try this type of mead. Will let you know how the experimenting goes
Okay burnt a half cup of the buckwheat honey. The smell, at first, was that of a hot steaming barnyard but then that smell seemed to disapate. It actually started to take on, of all things, the smell of fresh cut wood once it started to burn. I was not intending to let it go this long, was just going to carmalize it, but this either is a fast burning honey or it went quick because it was a small amount. Once it reached a hard candy stage ( stuck to the spoon and hardened at room temp) I added one and a half cups of water (1part to 3parts as Illuveater suggested). There is still a hint of the manure taste but it has greatly diminished. It has kind of a woody flavor, definitely a much more interesting honey now. Will likely burn the rest of it today and get the must going. After this experiment i think I'm going to leave out any other flavorings in favor of seeing where this goes on its own.
Sounds interesting. When I made my first bochet I mixed it about 3 parts honey and one part water and boiled it on a gas stove on the lowest heat for 1.75 hours and that got it real dark but befor any carbon was being made. Since you had only a little honey it did probably go faster than normal. So going the traditional Bochet route makes yeast choice important. Here are a couple of thoughts for you. If some of the aromatics and subtle flavors are not the best and the primary flavor is the sweet woodsy taste that you want then you may want to go with Lalvin ec-1118 yeast to ferment your must. I usually back off from that yeast with meads because it does blow some aromatics and flavor out the airlock because of its super aggresive and fast fermentation process. But That may be a good thing in this case. If you have a way to keep the fermentation temperature below 68*F then Lalvin D47 can be a nice yeast because you can let it sit on the lees for about a month after fermentation has stopped & D47 will put on an almost fruity/citrousy flavor when you let it sit on the lees.
Don't forget, if you haven't already cooked it, you can mix it to reduce the barnyard thing. Say something like 2.5 to 3lb of clover or wild flower, and half a pound of the buckwheat made up to a gallon for a traditional. Maybe with a bit of rosemary or some other herb if it ended up as a sweet mead.....
"What the large print giveth, the small print taketh away". Tom Waits.Oh, and here's some blog stuff!
Here is what you can do with Buckwheat: Carmel Apple Mead http://www.homebrewtalk.com/f80/cara...le-mead-68519/
Figured I'd give an update on the buckwheat bochet. Tasted on the first racking and no barnyard taste nor smell. Very pleasant in fact, fairly dry already with a molasses flavor. Seems that burning the buckwheat honey significantly reduces any unpleasantness and leaves behind a very rich flavorful base for must. I have the feeling this is going to be a very special mead by next winter if I can keep my hands off it that long

A flattering coral shade, more on the orange/peach side of that spectrum. I always found myself disappointed with the formula, which doesn't seem to match the typical creamsheen. It goes on quite streaky, and is quite thin which requires me to build it up- it it would then settle into the lines on the lips.
So basically, amazing shade but difficult/weird formula.

Oh Ever Hip, how I wanted to love thee. Now don't get me wrong, I do like ever hip, hence my four star rating, but its definitely not a love-love relationship here. The way I feel for ever hip is the way I feel for cherry jolly ranchers, one of my favorite candies, certainly not my favorite flavor. But twas not the shade of this beauty that set me off my rocker, as you can see its a wonderful creamy peach/pink/coral lipstick, a shade type that almost always sets my heart a-flutter. No, it was the texture of this lipstick that makes me reach my other lipsticks instead. Ever Hip is slightly more tacky on my lips than I anticipated it to be, so I find I don;t wear it as often as I'd like as it exacerbates any dry bits. It's a shame really, I do love the shade to bits and pieces. I wear Ever Hip when my lips have been moisturized and exfoliated, and if I was more inclined to regularly care for my puckers, this baby would have gotten a 5.

As everyone else has stated, Ever Hip is a lovely peachy coral. My problem with it is purely with the formula- it's sheer and a little streaky. I find I need to wear a coral lipliner with it to make the color even.

I got this from the second round of release from all the hype and at first I was sorely disappointed! It settled like crazy and it sat in the drawer for months! Then I purchased Oak liner for another lipstick and decided to use Ever Hip over this on a whim and it's the most beautiful nude/peach on my lips. It really brightens up my whole face, makes my teeth whiter and really pulls together a really dark smoky eye look. I recently purchased an Elizabeth Arden primer and no more settling on my fine lines. For ref I'm NC 42 with really pigmented lips and this is the only nudish lip I can pull off so far. The lasting power of this sucks hence only 4 stars.

I love this colour for my skintone (NC30). This coral shade is better for me because it's pink/peach toned rather than an orange toned one. Being a creme-sheen, it is very creamy and semi-opaque with two swipes and has a smooth consistency. It's a nice wearable colour for the day-time and has a slight glossy finish. I wished they would include this in their permanent line!

I got this with the Fashion Flower collection, and I really wish I had gotten a backup! It's a light coral/pink color that looks gorgeous on a lot of different skin tones. It's a really versatile color that works with neutral and dramatic looks.

My first ever lipstick from MAC. I will definitely be buying more. I wish mac would make ever hip permanent - it's gorgeous! I was a little concerned that it wouldn't suit me as I have pale skin with cool undertones and I've seen pictures where it looks gorgeous on women with darker skin/warm undertones. But it looks great and really warms up my face. It seems like it could suit most skin tones. I have a feeling I'm going to be living in it this summer, because I'm in love!
EDIT- While playing around with my makeup I discovered a dupe for this- the Topshop cream blush in neon rose, used on lips, is very similar to ever hip in colour (a little darker though) , but obviously not similar in texture as neon rose is cream to powder finish and looks like a stain on the lips. Adding any coral-toned lipgloss on top will make it look really pretty :)

American Mega-Churches and Spiritual Formation
Publish date: Dec 14, 2009
Summary: Spiritual formation is being encouraged in influential American evangelical churches.
More Resources:
|Share with others:
Mystical spiritual formation practices are being taught not only in retreat centers and monasteries, but in evangelical Christian churches as well. Willow Creek Community Church in Illinois and Saddleback Church in California are two of the forerunners in evangelical spiritual formation teaching.
What's taught at Willow Creek?
Willow Creek Community Church, Bill Hybels' church of over 22,000, has six campuses in Illinois and is growing in influence across America and the world.
In her 2007 article "Rediscovering Spiritual Formation," Willow Creek member Keri Wyatt Kent writes positively about "monastic communities" and "the emergent church."i These two buzzwords refer to the renewed popularity of ancient mystic practices such as visualization, meditation, and the spiritual exercises of St. Ignatius.
In her article, Kent also states that while there are some "conservative" Christians who are suspect of spiritual formation, the term and the practices "have become much more mainstream."ii She also tells us that spiritual formation is a ministry at Willow Creek:
Much of that has happened even in the last five years, says Mindy Caliguire, who formerly led the spiritual formation ministry at Willow Creek Community Church. She's the president and founder of Soul Care (www.soulcare.com), which consults with churches and individuals, and she serves as a regional director for the Spiritual Formation Alliance, a network of churches, educators, parachurch organizations and others who want to help local churches bring spiritual formation into every area of their influence.iii
Kent identifies Richard Foster as a leader in the shift towards acceptance of spiritual formation. Foster is the author of Celebration of Discipline and founder of Renovaré, an organization that "advocates, encourages, and resources intentional living and spiritual formation."iv
Kent also praises Renovaré team member Dallas Willard for his work in the 1980s, in which he "re-introduced evangelicals to classic spiritual disciplines such as solitude, silence, and fasting, and offered a more contemplative approach to Scripture and prayer."v
In Kent's article, she also promotes spiritual direction,vi which is not Scriptural guidance but rather blind submission to a director who may not even have the same values as the directee.
What's Taught at Saddleback Church?
Saddleback Church is the eighth-largest Christian church in the USA.vii How is this mega-church using its influence?
The Purpose Driven Life
In 2002, Saddleback Church's senior pastor and founder Rick Warren published his book The Purpose Driven Life. Since then, over 30 million copies of the books have sold in 56 languages.viii This book supports spiritual formation practices and attitudes, as the following quotes attest:
The Bible tells us to "pray all the time." How is it possible to do this? One way is to use "breath prayers" throughout the day, as many Christians have done for centuries. You choose a brief sentence or a simple phrase that can be repeated to Jesus in one breath...
The last thing many believers need today is to go to another Bible study. They already know far more than they are putting into practice...
If you want Jesus to come back sooner, focus on fulfilling your mission, not figuring out prophecy.ix

Saddleback pastor Lance Witt writes about visualization in his 2006 article "Enjoying God's Presence in Solitude." Read Lighthouse Trails' blog for more about Warren, Witt, contemplative prayer, and Thomas Merton

Ring-tailed Cardinalfish Apogon aureus
Cardinalfish are small nocturnal reef fish. The ring-tailed cardinalfish hides under corals and in crevices during the day and emerges at night to feed on plankton. It has a distinctive black band around the tail base and two blue and white lines running from the snout through the eyes. Like all of the 200 or so species of cardinalfish, it has two separate dorsal fins. The male does not feed during the breeding season. Instead, after the female has laid her eggs the male broods them in his mouth, protecting them until they hatch.
- Order Perciformes
- Length Up to 6 in (15 cm)
- Weight Not recorded
- Depth 3–130 ft (1–40 m)

But where the idyllic waterfront of Pier 3 could fool festival-goers, blaring sound systems and a crowd full of baseball caps confirm this is indeed (in the words of the stage hype man) 'Brooooklyn.'
