Leon Draisaitl had a goal and an assist as the Kelowna Rockets won 5-3 to take a 3-0 series lead over the Brandon Wheat Kings on Monday night in Kelowna.
With the win, the Rockets are only one win away from a WHL Championship and an appearance in the Memorial Cup. Their next two games are on home ice in Kelowna.
Draisaitl opened the scoring with a shorthanded goal (video above) 6:35 into the first period. Morgan Klimchuk responded 1:13 later for Brandon to get the game on even terms. Gage Quinney regained the lead for the Rockets only 59 seconds after that, sending the home team into the first intermission with a 2-1 lead.
Dillon Dube's goal 4:15 into period two increased Kelowna's advantage to 3-1 and before the period would end, Rourke Chartier's 11th of the postseason made it a three-goal game. 26 seconds after Chartier's goal, Brandon responded to send the game into the final frame down a pair.
Brandon made a game of it in the third period after Tim McGauley's goal midway through made it a 4-3 contest but Chartier's second of the night and 12th of the playoffs -- assisted by Draisiatl -- was the insurance marker.
The two teams play again on Wednesday in Kelowna. Game time is 8:05 p.m. MDT and it can be seen on Shaw TV (channel 10).
Highlights | Post-Game Interviews
Connor McDavid and the Erie Otters won on home ice Monday 4-3 to narrow their gap in the series to two games to one over the Oshawa Generals.
McDavid had a goal and an assist to help lead the Otters to the win.
Erie had a 2-0 lead after two late first-period goals by Remi Elie and Alex DeBrincat. That lead carried over through a scoreless middle frame and into the third.
In the third, McDavid scored five minutes in to make it 3-0 for the home team. 1:15 later, Cole Cassels scored to bring the Generals within a pair. With 7:36 to go in the game, Nick Betz scored to give the Otters a 4-1 lead.
Late goals by Sam Harding and Cassels made it 4-3 but that was as close as Oshawa would get.
Game 4 goes Wednesday at 5:35 p.m. MDT. Game 5 will be televised on Sportsnet and is Friday at 5:35 p.m. as well.
Leon Draisaitl had a goal and an assist as the Kelowna Rockets won 5-3 to take a 2-0 series lead over the Brandon Wheat Kings despite having played the first two games on the road.
Brandon opened the scoring only 1:20 into the game before Draisaitl set up Rourke Chartier about 10 minutes later to tie it at 1-1. With three seconds to go in the first, Nick Merkley scored to make it 2-1.
Kelowna extended their lead to 3-1 only 27 seconds into period two. Peter Quenneville scored two goals four minutes apart early in the third to make it a 3-3 game, however.
Midway through the third, Nick Merkley scored his second of the game shorthanded to make it 4-3 and Draisaitl added an empty-netter to wrap it up.
The next three games of the series will be in Kelowna, starting with Game 3 on Monday at 8:05 p.m. MDT.
The Erie Otters have fallen behind 2-0 in their best-of-seven Ontario Hockey League Championship Series to the Oshawa Generals after losing Game 2 5-1 on Saturday night.
Top-ranked prospect Connor McDavid had no points and was a -2. It was the first time in these playoffs that McDavid came away without a point. He had a point in each of his first 16 playoff games, scoring 19 goals and 43 points in those games.
A goal by Tyson Baillie with 5:05 remaining in the first overtime lifted the Kelowna Rockets to a 2-1 win over the Portland Winterhawks on Friday night, giving the Rockets a 3-2 series lead in Game 5 of the WHL Western Conference Final.
Oilers prospect Leon Draisaitl assisted on Riley Stadel's goal to opening scoring with 2:25 to go in the first period. That goal looked like it was going to be enough but with 3:33 to play in the third, Nic Petan scored to force overtime.
After three periods, shots on goal were 39-29 for Portland, but Kelowna found an extra gear in OT, outshooting the Winterhawks 20-4 in the fourth period.
Draisaitl's assist gave him 20 points so far in these playoffs with six goals and 14 assists in 14 games to lead all Rockets and rank fourth in the WHL in postseason scoring.
Kelowna can wrap up the series with a win on Sunday night in Portland. Game time is 6:00 p.m. MDT.

Following the Draft Lottery, Connor McDavid took part in a conference call with other top prospects Jack Eichel, Noah Hanifin and Dylvan Strome to discuss a variety of topics.
RELATED: Crosby on McDavid; Oilers winning the lottery
One topic that came up right off the hop for McDavid was his thoughts on Edmonton and the potential of being drafted by the Oilers.
"It's a dream come true. It's a great city to be in," McDavid began. "They've got the fans supporting them through a bit of a tough slide the last couple of years. The support they've received is amazing. That speaks volumes to the fan support they get in Edmonton. It's pretty special."
McDavid was then asked about what was going through his mind as Bill Daly drew cards 14 through 3, ultimately landing on Edmonton with the gold card.
"It's been a weird day. At the same time, it's been exciting. When they pulled the cards it's the fastest my heart's ever beaten. It's sure exciting. If Edmonton selects me it would be a tremendous honour."
The 18-year-old centre was asked about the top talent on the Oilers and the possibility of playing with them.
"They have younger talent, names like Hall, Eberle, (Nugent) Hopkins and Yakupov. And on D with Schultz. They have such a good group there, it's hard to pick anyone. That's going a little too far ahead of ourselves, obviously. The draft hasn't started. We'll see what happens."

Pittsburgh Penguins centre Sidney Crosby, himself a first-overall pick in 2005, talked to the media tonight about the Oilers winning the draft lottery, the possibility of Connor McDavid going to Edmonton and why that's a good thing for him.
"The great thing for him is that they have a lot of young guys there already," Crosby said to Josh Yohe of the Pittsburgh Tribune. "That's a big thing for him. It's not like he's going to an older team or anything like that. He'll be able to grow with those guys. They have a ton of young talent there already, so it should be a good thing for him to be there."
Crosby also talked about the potential comparisons to Wayne Gretzky, as he himself had to deal with in Pittsburgh with Mario Lemieux.
"He's definitely going to hear about that, and he'll have to deal with all the comparisons to him. It's to be expected."
WATCH: MacT Interview | Daly draws | Bill Scott | McDavid Interview | Actual Lottery
Oilers GM Craig MacTavish spoke with us from Switzerland shortly after the announcement that the Oilers had won the 2015 NHL Draft Lottery. Here is a transcript of the interview:
What were your thoughts when you first saw that the Oilers had won the Draft Lottery?
"We just started yelling. We were all in Switzerland, watching it on the iPad and then started to get nervous after it got by Carolina and got by Toronto. Then the palms started sweating. That was a great pronouncement by Bill Daly for sure."
How does winning the lottery change any plans you may have had for this upcoming off-season and/or at the draft?
"We're going to enjoy this for now. It's a pretty special night for all the Oilers fans. It's a game-changer for the franchise. I feel great for the players and I feel really good for the fans. We'll enjoy that for an evening and then figure out how this all works going forward."
Talk about Connor McDavid and Jack Eichel, the type of players that they are and what they could potentially bring to the Oilers.
"Both are great, great players. These players have been looked at and sought after for the last three years. It's been earmarked an epic draft for the last three, four years with these players coming in.
"We're extremely fortunate to be in this position. We're going to relax and enjoy it tonight and we'll let the Oilers fans celebrate and we'll get onto the business of hockey tomorrow."
What does it mean to have the ability to land a franchise player of this type with the Oilers in the situation that they're in: emerging team, new arena being built, etc.
"Any one of the 14 teams would make a great case for being the best spot for this player. In particular, our situation with the new building, I'm not thinking about it so much from a building standpoint but just what it's going to mean for the hockey club. I'm really happy for the players. Really happy for the fans. It gives the Oilers a real shot in the arm going forward.
"I could stand up there and talk about optimism and a bright future but I think everyone can share in that vision now with us winning the Lottery.
Last question, and only because I have to ask, what are the chances that you would consider trading the pick?
"What's less than zero? ... No chance."
The numbers which came up for the Oilers in their successful draft lottery were (in order drawn) 5, 14, 6 and 1.
Each team was given a designated number of the 1,000 possible valid combinations and since the Oilers had an 11.5% chance of winning, they had 115 potential four-ball sets which would gain them the win.

Oilers official press release:
The Edmonton Oilers won the 2015 NHL Draft Lottery tonight and earned the first drafting position for the First Round of the 2015 NHL Draft.
This will be the fourth time the Oilers have selected first overall, after drafting Taylor Hall (2010), Ryan Nugent-Hopkins (2011) and Nail Yakupov (2012) in consecutive years.
The order of selection for the first 14 drafting positions in the First Round, only, of the 2015 NHL Draft is as follows:
1. Edmonton Oilers
2. Buffalo Sabres
3. Arizona Coyotes
4. Toronto Maple Leafs
5. Carolina Hurricanes
6. New Jersey Devils
7. Philadelphia Flyers
8. Columbus Blue Jackets
9. San Jose Sharks
10. Colorado Avalanche
11. Florida Panthers
12. Dallas Stars
13. Los Angeles Kings
14. Boston Bruins
The remaining positions are determined by the results of the Stanley Cup Playoffs.
The drawing was conducted at Rogers Sportsnet's studio in downtown Toronto and the winning team was revealed live on CBC and TVA Sports in Canada and NBC in the U.S. prior to their broadcast of Game 2 of the Penguins-Rangers First Round series.
Fourteen balls, numbered 1 to 14, were placed in a lottery machine. The machine randomly selected four balls. The resulting four-number series (without regard to selection order) was matched against a chart that shows all possible combinations and the Clubs to which each was assigned. The chart (available on NHL.com) showed that the Oilers had been assigned the numbers (1-5-6-14) that were expelled.
The Oilers would have picked third based on inverse order of regular season finish, representing an 11.5% likelihood that their combination would emerge.
Full odds of winning can be found here.
The 2015 NHL Draft will be hosted by the Panthers at BB&T Center in Sunrise, Florida from June 26-27.

Europe :The CAP is in danger unless it is socially legitimate!

- Published on Wednesday, 06 March 2013 21:37
Letter to all MEPs prior to the vote on the 4 reports of the CAP reform 2014-2020
Dear Sir or Madam, Members of the European Parliament,
At the March plenary, you will be voting on the 4 reports on the CAP reform 2014-2020.
European citizens, both taxpayers and consumers, are very attached to diversified European agriculture, present throughout the territory, and largely composed of small and medium-sized family farms. However the CAP reform proposed by the European Commission in October 2011 and amended by the Agriculture Committee of the European Parliament (Comagri) in January 2013, allows a very uneven use of CAP direct payments to farms to continue.
Taiwan : Farmers gather to express their anger

(Taipei Times, Feb 4, 2013). Hundreds of people, including farmers and farming activists from Taiwan, Thailand, Indonesia, South Korea, Japan and Malaysia, yesterday rallied against the globalization of agriculture on Ketagalan Boulevard in front of the Presidential Office, protesting against the government's plans to lift more bans on agricultral imports.
"We gather here today to express our anger, we want to tell the government that we're fed up with their compromises on our food sovereignty, it's a serious problem that our food self-sufficiency has dropped to 33 percent now," Taiwan Rural Front (TRF) spokeswoman Tsai Pei-hui (蔡培慧) told the crowd at the rally. "You've put our dining tables and refrigerators in other people's homes, we want to keep them in our own places."
Europe, CAP : "Enough is enough"

- Published on Wednesday, 30 January 2013 05:57
European Coordination Via Campesina supports the protest "Wir haben be satt ! " this Saturday, January 19th 2013, in Berlin.
European Coordination Via Campesina (ECVC) lends its support to the German demonstration taking place on January 19th 2013 in Berlin, in favor of sustainable family farming. This event is co-organized by AbL, a German member of ECVC, and "Meine Landwirtschaft", a German coalition of civil society organisations.
In all European countries, we have had enough of an agricultural policy which continues to eliminate thousands of peasants, whilst access to quality food is far from being ensured for all European citizens, and the environment continues to be harmed.
Within the context of the serious financial and social crisis that Europe is experiencing, the CAP post 2013 reform proposal must be more ambitious in terms of creating employment, supporting local agriculture, shortening food supply chains, and "peasant innovation". To that end, this must include the implementation of a ceiling for subsidies, in addition to support for small farms and agro-ecology.
Europe, No to privatisation of European dairy policy

A healthy dairy economy cannot be based on selling at a loss (selling milk at less than the cost of production). No to privatisation of European dairy policy (through contracts). Supply management is essential for maintaining sustainable pan-European milk production on family farms.

Is the Solar System Really a Vortex?by Jason Major
The short answer? No. Not in the way that a popular animated gif insinuates, at least.
If you're even a casual space fan you may have seen a viral gif animation showing our solar system traveling through space, the motions of the planets tracing corkscrew "vortex" paths around a line-driving Sun. While it's definitely intriguing to watch (in that mesmerizingly-repetitive gif fashion) and rendered with a talented flair for design, there are two fundamental problems with it. One: it's not entirely correct, scientifically, and two: its creator's intention is to illustrate a decidedly un-scientific point of view about the Solar System and the Universe as a whole.
For the long answer, I now offer up the stage to astrophysicist Rhys Taylor, who recently posted an in-depth article describing why the planets do yet move… just not like that.
Reposted with permission from Rhys Taylor's blog, Physicists (Formerly) of the Caribbean:
There's this annoying space GIF roaming the internet causing trouble. Perhaps you've seen it. No ? Well, here it is.
What it purports to show is the motion of the Solar System through space. But the accuracy of this has been utterly derided as an affront to scientific dignity. Which is a shame, because the video version is really quite nicely done, with good camera movement and a catchy soundtrack. The principle antagonist is notorious "Bad Astronomer" Phil Plait, who wrote a convincing and virulent attack on the video. I decided to investigate for myself.
Like many people, I was at first glance really quite impressed with the video, and didn't have any major objections to it. Obviously the orbits and size of the planets are not to scale (and I think their orbital speeds have be altered too), but that's just to make them visible. Fair enough. But then I read Phil Plait's analysis, and it seems that things are much, much worse than that. Says Plait :
"Sadhu shows the Sun leading the planets, ahead of them as it goes around the galaxy… This is not just misleading, it's completely wrong."
He clarifies :
"Sometimes the planets really are ahead of the Sun as we orbit in the Milky Way, and sometimes trail behind it (depending on where they are in their orbit around the Sun)." [my italics]
The orbits of the major planets of the solar system all lie in a narrow plane (like being in economy class! hahaha… sorry), which is tilted at about 60 degrees to the disc of stars that forms the Milky Way. Like this:
We'll return to the tilt in a moment. But first, if the Sun was really leading the planets, then the thing is completely ludicrous (and this is quite a major part of Plait's argument). Yet I'm not so sure the viral gif does show the Sun leading the planets. Having read through the author's website, I can't find any evidence that he suggests this. In fact, some of other videos on his website clearly show that this isn't the case:
It seems to me that the appearance of the Sun leading the planets in the gif is just the result of a projection effect – i.e. that things can look different from different angles. On the other hand, Plait read the source material for Sadhu's model, so maybe there's something in there that's more explicit. I've glanced at it, but couldn't find anything stating this precisely. Actually I couldn't find a whole lot that was even vaguely coherent, but we'll return to this later. For now, just keep in mind that Sadhu is using an alternative model, even though that may not always be evident.
What the gif definitely does not show is the fact that the orbits of the planets are tilted at about 60 degrees to the direction of the Sun's motion. Says Plait :
"In the helical model, he shows the planets as orbiting around the Sun perpendicular to the motion of the Sun around the galaxy; "face-on", if you like.This is wrong. Because the orbits of the planets are tipped by 60°, not 90°, they can sometimes be ahead and sometimes behind the Sun. That right there, and all by itself, shows this helical depiction is incorrect."
There can be no mistaking that Sadhu's video shows the orbits with the wrong tilt. But is that so critical? Well actually no, not really. Fact is that if you include the tilt, you still see the planets making a "spiral" pattern (technically it's a helix) as they move through space. The overall appearance just isn't that massively different compared to a 90-degree tilt.
So what's the big deal? What does the author claim in this internet sensation that's so outrageous? Well, not much. That particular video/gif are actually fairly inoffensive, to my mind. The most basic notion that the planets trace helical paths through space is perfectly correct. What honestly surprises me is that this is so incredibly popular on the internet. If you weren't aware that the Sun orbits the center of the galaxy — which, since the planets orbit it, necessitates that they trace out helical paths — then the education system has seriously failed. But do not despair! This can be remedied very, very easily.
But we're not done yet. There's a sting in the tail, and it's a big one. The gif doesn't show it, but the video version ends with the worrying remarks that:
"Rotational motion and vortex motion are completely different things."*
"Life spirals." [Picture of leaves]
"Life is vortex, not just rotation." [Picture of developing ferns, then a flower, the Milky Way, the DNA double helix, etc.]
"The Solar System is part of life. Think about this while racing through space."
*Yes, they are. Plait notes: "They're different in more than just name; they're actually very different physical motions with different properties—you can get helical motion without the particles in it interacting, like in the solar system, but in a vortex the particles interact through drag and friction." Basically, claiming that the Solar System is a vortex is simply wrong. Sadhu appears not to have checked the word "vortex" in a dictionary.
I could forgive even these rather hippyish sentiments, if they were no more than that. Alas, they're symptomatic of a much larger problem. Plait's merciless attack is full of sound and fury, but it's also signifying something. Reading more of the author's website, it turns out he is actively promoting quackery. It's on a par with the excellent Space Mirror Mystery* (the idea that everything further away than about 150 million km is just a reflection in a giant mirror), but less funny.
*I was delighted to find that this website is back online. Seriously, read it. It's epic.
From Sadhu's website:
"In this diagram it seems the Solar System travel to the left. When the Earth is also traveling[sic] to the left (for half a year) it must go faster than the Sun. Then in the second half of the year, it travels in a 'relative opposite direction' so it must go slower than the Sun. Then, after completing one orbit, it must increase speed to overtake the Sun in half a year. And this would go for all the planets. Just like any point you draw on a frisbee will not have a constant speed, neither will any planet."
Apparently he thinks this is a problem. Worryingly, it suggests that he didn't show the 60-degree orbital tilt not for mere simplicity, but because he doesn't believe it's possible. Which — if true — is utter madness, pure and simple. There's absolutely no reason the planetary speeds have to be constant as they move around the galaxy — the massive gravitational pull of the Sun is keeping them firmly in its orbit, regardless of how those orbits are inclined.
"Secondly, most planets are visible throughout the entire year. In a 'flat' model, every single planet would hide behind the Sun at least once a year. They don't. Now the heliocentric model isn't entirely flat, but mostly."
Fine. The heliocentric model isn't flat, which perfectly explains why planets aren't eclipsed by the Sun once per year. What need to state this ? Is he really saying that this is a problem in a heliocentric model…? SERIOUSLY?
"Fact of the matter is that if the helical model is correct and our Solar System is a traveling[sic] vortex, it will change how we feel about our journey. For me personally the heliocentric model feels like a useless marry[sic]-go-round: after one year we are back to square one. The helical model feels much more like progress, growth, a journey through space in which we never ever come back to our starting point. We are NOT in a big marry[sic]-go-round. We are on a journey."
Planets trace a helical path in space because our Solar System is orbiting the center of the galaxy. Big bloody deal. It's that simple. You don't need a wacky alternative model of the Solar System for this – it's happening anyway! As for going on a journey though – well no, not really. Every other star is also orbiting the center of the galaxy, so no, we're not actually getting anywhere relative to other star systems.
Then there are some pointless ravings about the Mayan calendar.
He also links the following video. Skip to about 2 minutes in:
This has the bizarre quote that :
"The planets do not come back on to their [own] path[s]. They don't. If they did, we most likely would have the same set of information over and over and over… like a broken record. And we'd probably get bored. It would be like Groundhog Year."
Then he links a video claiming that the Fibonacci sequence is the fingerprint of God.
None of which changes the fact that his first video/gif has only minor inaccuracies, but at this point I can't help feeling that this was more by luck than judgement.
Then there's his second video. This one is more objectively just plain wrong. He shows the Sun tracing out a corkscrew pattern as it orbits the galaxy, which makes no sense. The Sun simply goes around the center of the galaxy (and up and down a little bit) — nothing else. It's not orbiting anything else at the same time. For it to trace a helix is just nonsense. He seems to have an almost unique case of helix madness.
What of the source material — the alternative model Sadhu uses? Garbage. Utter garbage. I find it difficult to read more than a sentence or two, because it's verging on incomprehensible. As in almost at the level of TimeCube.
"Three types of time may be recognized:
– An absolute time that is universal and has neither a known starting point nor an end point; not even limited to a measurable parameter.
– For living organisms there is a time for birth and a moment for death. The interval is the life span. This time may be measured with parameters like seconds, minutes, days and so on. Mechanical devices may measure fractions and to some extant reliable. In every case some kind of energy source or gear system is involved.
-–When one is engaged with some work involvement in another activity may be impossible or result to be unnatural. In such cases personal values decide what course to take up and say "no time" to the other work, however important that may be. This time is highly subjective."
"The constellations at the background are sufficient evidence to deny the heliocentric orbits for planets. The Sun at 500 light seconds distance, when visible within a cone of 30° maintaining a background of one constellation, say for example Aries, (Hamel at 68ly) the SOLSTICES and EQUINOXES through Zodiac Earth maintains in the opposite constellation at midnight, namely Libra. After six months to maintain heliocentric orbit, the mid day of today should become midnight and the midnight should become midday. This has not taken place!"
Well of course it hasn't — it's complete gibberish ! Plait may well be right that somewhere in this mess is a model wherein the Sun leads the planets, but I don't have the time or sheer mental fortitude to read the whole thing. I will note, though, that there's a paragraph where the author rubbishes the conventional explanation for the ozone hole — and God help us all if that goes viral. That, not petty disputes about whether the orbits of planets are tilted by 60 or 90 degrees, is why such quackery deserves to be shot down without mercy.
"My feeling is that if your take-home message was only that the Solar System moves through space, and the planets trace out pretty spirally paths, then all is well and no harm done. But if it's leading you to question the heliocentric model, then we're all buggered."
–Rhys Taylor, astrophysicist
In conclusion then, the first video and gif of the Solar System as a "vortex" are not really all that bad. Unfortunately, the inaccuracies are not due to some minor over-simplifications, but are symptoms of a some very deep-seated misunderstandings. My feeling is that if your take-home message was only that the Solar System moves through space, and the planets trace out pretty spirally paths, then all is well and no harm done. But if it's leading you to question the heliocentric model, then we're all buggered.

What these wacko's don't understand is the concept of relative motion.
The orbits are an ellipse because the 0,0,0 axis also moves with the planets at the same rate.
Well, if the sun is orbiting around the galaxy center, and the galaxy as a whole is also flying thru space, doesn't the Sun corkscrew as well?
It might un-corck-screw.
Excellent pont ! Yes, it does, on the very large scale. But, in Sadhu's second video, he shows the Sun moving on a corkscrew path as it moves through the Milky Way (as though it were orbiting something else within our own galaxy). This is just not the case.
I am agreeing with you on general point and the need to mercilessly debunk, but I am not aware of data sufficient to make this statement with certainty.
Sun is not orbiting a single local object, granted, but the gravitational interactions with neighbourhood make for motion that could exhibit periodicity.
Possibly. But I doubt very much we would see the Sun making a very nice, neat corkscrew pattern. More likely the gravitational neighbourhood of the Sun will vary more randomly, since none of the stars will have _perfectly_ circular obits. So the motion through the galaxy may look a bit more… wobbly… but not a neat helix of constant radius.
Certainly though, as Phil Plait points out, we will not see the Sun passing through the plane of the galaxy dozens of times in its orbit of the galaxy, as in Sadu's video. This actually happens about 4 times per orbit.
Well obviously, its not *just* heliocentric — its also "black hole centric" (as we travel around the center of the galaxy, and also "dark energy centric" (as our own galaxy travels though space as well). So we *are* on a journey, unless the motion of the galaxy via dark energy is also cyclical.
The black hole is only a tiny part of the mass that pulls the Sun. "It is not black hole centric at all". Unless you would claim that Earth orbits the moon in comparison.
Obligatory: http://xkcd.com/1301/
The following is Plait's most germane point:
"Also, we have multiple space probes that have visited other planets, many of them still in orbit. If heliocentrism were wrong in the way Bhat describes, then those probes never would have made it to those planets. The calculations used to send them there would've been wrong. We don't have to account for the Sun's motion around the galaxy at all when calculating these spacecraft paths, so Bhat cannot be correct."
My own theory is that we are all in the process of falling into a Black Hole but we haven't hit bottom yet.
It's ok to question anything. No problem with that.
But the deluge of astro-quackery on youtube is staggering and scary. One of those creepy magnetic-ISON videos was also in the "featured" category in November – actively promoted by yt. Even worse, these videos have millions of hits, far more than most non-quack videos on the topic.
Unsurprisingly, quackery is popular. People can relate to it without putting much effort into learning. And, it's as profitable as ever.
Since Youtube forced you to be Google+ it exploded the crappy astronomy and buried the real science.
Many people need to believe there's more to the universe then math equations in order to believe in their own greatness.
Pathetic really.
math invented by human beings will prove only what they perceive.
Ok I know I'm going to hate myself for even asking this, but WTH is that even supposed to mean?
Stop sniffing glue.
You sound like a drunk person at a bar making random comments that makes no sense.
If you have to ask you will not understand,
LOL! I agree completely that the gif-animation actually is quite a good representation of the Solar system's travel through space. Then of course, forget the imposed implications about helix and creation, and the maker's underlying intentions. The model itself works well, with minor unimportant adjustments…
Well what is wrong with djSadhu's animation is the name. If his name was Dick taylor or D Silverstein, this animation would have been wonderful.
i don't believe that there is anyone on earth that really knows what is happening. even rhys' i give it a couple of minutes before he realizes just how stupid what he just said actually is. lol
Like Mark quoted, we have sent space probes to other planets! Scientists definitely do know what is happening – we measure it! We don't sit around and think up some silly story in our head!
You measured something? Well show it. Oh, you mean someone else TOLD you.
The irony in what you wrote…
wow! did you have to reboot on that one?
Its not showing "dragging". Open you eyes.
"Dragging" was mentioned not only in a video I saw, but in several other articles I that highlighted this animation AND in comments following those articles. In the articles (not this one, by the way) many commentors said that the "dragging" was now obvious to them and they were delighted to see it demonstrated.
This unfortunately adds to the already-too-large body of popular scientific misunderstandings.
Not only are my eyes very much open, so is my mind, my astronomy knowledge and my ability to properly conceptualize relative motions.
Very interesting. I learn a lot about the universe by reading these debunking stories. It seems that DjSadhu is making some tremendous leaps in logic or creating straw-men gallore, such as when he's arguing that somehow the Gregorian calendar makes you come back to square one every year and, therefore tells people that they're "not very useful if you're an individual looking for ways to better yourself". Absolute nonsense.
My question is: Why is making this argument? Is he selling books/music or some new spirituality that makes his helical model somehow relevant? Is he trying to usurp Deepak Chopra as the spiritual guru of our time?
I enjoyed the video much more than the annoying rant. I'm quite aware of orbital inclination and planetary sizes. I feel 2 or 3 paragraphs detailing it's inaccuracies would have sufficed… no need to be so butt hurt over an animation.
You may be aware of orbital inclination and planetary sizes, but not everyone is. There are parts of the video which are slightly inaccurate and others which are preposterous. Then there are problems others claim which do not, in fact, exist. And as I say, I do not think there is actually all that much wrong with the video itself.
My problem is more that those minor accuracies are caused by beliefs as ludicrous as creationism. When stuff like that goes viral, it deserves a damn good annoying rant.
That's the whole problem. The rant wasn't good. I kept reading it expecting there to be more than 2 points, but there wasn't. It was extremely long-winded with very little content. And since when does something "deserve" to be bullied around by virtue of it going viral??? You sound petty because you didn't think of making the animation first. Why not instead of being a little man over someone else's internet success, you go and remake the animation with all the factual accuracies of our solar system. Or is that beyond your capabilities little man?
Right on Rhys! I love well-put rebuttals that are well-informed and cordial. 100+ Respect points for you.
I found the article rather entertaining in all its meatiness, while at the same time addressing the problem in a way many can understand. If it's "long-winded" it's either because of the well-put effort in laying out the point for the layman or perhaps the limit of the layman to comprehend.
The authors here are so predictable you could place bets on them if they were horses at a race track and win every time. The vary existence of the article told me precisely what was going to be written. And with perfection it came to past.
For what it's worth :
I think it should also be mentioned, that the orientation of the orbital plane of our planets changes relatively towards the sun's direction of movement as the sun rotates around the Galactic Center.
So there will be a time when the sun moves roughly in the direction of the orbital plane and the planets won't do a nice cork screw motion but some sort of wobbly loopings.
wow; you are more naive than i thought you were.mainstream science is worse than mainstream media. they are soo entrenched in dogma that as of right now. everything they say is fact is like people believing the world is flat., it just isn't true! it is amazing how slow the mind works and how ego always gets in the way.
at the rate we learn, it will take another 200 years before we realize gravity isn't real.
its a shame the world will have to stop spinning in order to prove that.
wake up!
Err, actually, a lot of us are acutely aware that 100 years from now all of our current theories will be long since obsolete. I can only speak from the astronomer's point of view, but, to give an example, almost everyone I've ever met accepts that the standard models of galaxy evolution have massive, massive problems.
Entrenched in dogma ? Hardly. We accept that we have no idea if what dark matter exists (or even if it exists), let alone dark energy – which is thought to make up the major part of the Universe. How we could be said to be "dogmatic" in the face of acceptance of such obvious failings I do not know.
Are you a professional troll or do you just do it for fun?
A thousand years from now people will realize that the earth is just a flat disc sitting on the back of a turtle anchored by four elephants at the corners. Watch this space.
Vortex requires compression.
At least attempt to use the correct terminology. Spiral would be much better choice. How about Helical.
Will not bother about this topic. Not with this website. The type of website where objects move in straight lines LOL.

I had way too much fun transforming the Barbies in our toy collection today. They all went to the hairdresser and now transport glossy hair once again. Just a sec, and let me turn on my best shampoo advertisement voice.
Girls! Summer fun in the sun is here! Get rid of hair that's full of tangles. Say, "NO!" to dry and dull. Turn lifeless hair into shimmering waves with Sparkle in the Sun Shampoo. The special formula will coat your hair in glossy protection so it will be easier to brush, leaving you with lustrous locks that shine. Let your inner beauty sparkle. Flick that hair in the sun. Summer is here, and so is glorious hair.
Are you sold yet? Let me show you how to make this "Shampoo".
My kids play with Barbies in the bath often, so the hair gets knotted and yuk. Once in a blue moon, we brush the hair out. I read somewhere about using fabric softener to help remove the knots from Barbie hair and below are the results. Worked a treat! This is how I did it.
What you need
Fabric softener
Small brush (I used a Small Classic Stefan Brush which are fabulous)
1. Measure approximately 1 tablespoon of fabric softener in a mug of warm water. Stir.
2. Place the Barbie upside-down into the mug, and allow to sit for 10 – 15 minutes.
3. Remove Barbie from water and use a small brush on the back of a sink to brush through the hair. You may need to brush for a few minutes, depending how old the Barbie is and how knotty the hair. For badly knotted hair, I used a little full strength fabric softener directly on the hair.
4. Rinse hair under the tap and allow to dry (in the sun for quick results).
5. Once dry, brush hair again. I used this method on Barbies with different coloured hair, and also age. The pink is the oldest Barbie (about 4 years old) and the Red is the newest (about 1 year old). It worked well on all of them, but it was especially effective and easiest on the newest Barbie (Ariel).
The fabric softener put a little shine back into the hair and the girls were thrilled with the result, and played with the Barbies all afternoon.

He told me that if I paid them $116.00 for 90 days then that would look better for me when they filed their lawsuit. I agreed because I was busy and needed to get off the phone, stupidly giving them my bank account information. Everything went as they said, they took the $116.00 out for 90 days, but then I never heard from them again and after the 90 days the $116.00 kept being taken out.
I let it go, because I wanted the debt gone and figured this was an easy way to do it. Everything proceeded as planned until December when they took out the $116.00 then a few days later(Christmas eve to be exact) they STOLE $1160.00 from my account! This was after taking the $116.00 a few days prior.
Now the amount that I have paid far exceeds even the inflated amount that they said I owed them, to the tune of $500.00. I called my bank and they said that they would try to reverse the $1160.00, but I have had no luck as of writing this. My bank account is now in ruins, they have added to the mess by charging me an insane amount of overdraft fees even after they said that they wouldn't, and said that they would reverse them. I've had this account for almost 20 years and now I have to close it. I had to cancel my direct deposit because I didn't want to lose a second paycheck to this mess.
This whole situation has put me even further behind in my bills, and after researching this company online, come to find out that this is not a rare occurrence for them. Complete scam artists! Do not give them any bank account information, or believe a word that they say! I can't even count how many laws that they have broken in my case alone.

I know a lot of you readers are new to my blog, but if you have been around here for a while, you know that I have always had a desire to homeschool. From my Tot School adventures with both boys when they were young, to the K4 year that I did with Cohen, teaching my kids at home holds a special place in my heart. Ever since I can remember, I wanted to be two things when I grew up; {Read More}

Called number on internet for customer service, after going through a maze of options reached someone who said I have to call the store to stop mailings. I called store and of course they said call corporate. Called corporate again and it took several explanations to get someone to do something that should be very simple.
This is very wasteful and irresponsible not to make it easy for consumers to stop mailings.

GPD is coming with a clam shell style Android gaming device with full hardware buttons reminiscent of the Nintendo 3DS xl console. Judging by the buttons it seems be aimed at emulators as it looks like a mash-up of a whole bunch of console controllers.
Originally announced back during CES 2015, Snail Games unveiled two gaming focused Android devices during that show, the OBox Android game console and the W3D Android gaming phone. We went hands-on with both of those and found that both were quite good for gaming. Today it appears the wait is finally over as Snail Games has announced that pre-orders are now available for the W3D.
Nod Labs made headlines recently when the company secured $13.5 million in funding in order to continue developing, manufacturing, and eventually selling their Backspin controller. The reason for the interest in this peripheral is due to it not only being for VR headsets, mainly the Oculus Rift but any will work, but also due to its size, making it very portable, and so it can be used with Android devices.
If appears that Razer is looking to bolster the sales of their Android set-top box / micro-console called the Forge TV as it has now appeared on Google's Store for devices. We got to go hands-on with this set-top box back during GDC this year and with the short amount of time we had with it, it was a decent little box to play with.
So far we have had some decent support regarding Virtual Reality and Android devices announced. Initially Oculus Rift announced Android support before Facebook bought them out, that hasn't changed as far as we know. HTC and Valve are working on the HTC Re Vive VR headset which no doubt will get Android support if it doesn't have it already. Now Razer has announced that their open Virtual Reality platform, called OSVR, will come with compatibility for Android devices.
Nyko isn't new to making controllers for Android devices and this year at E3 2015 the company has unveiled a new controller which is compatible with Android phones, tablets, and set-top boxes called the Cygnus. Compared to Nyko's previous controllers for Android, this one features a few differences and improvements.
When Apple finally opened up iOS enough for peripheral manufacturers to make controllers and other devices for the iPhone and iPad, SteelSeries was one of the first companies to announces and release a new controller for iOS gamers to finally get to use. Called the Stratus XL, this controller went on to get a lot of great reviews, being one of the best controllers for iOS. Not like they have a lot of them mind you. Android, on the other hand, has plenty of controllers designed specifically for Android devices including ones from SteelSeries, which we actually have used on a fairly regular basis and reported on back during CES 2013.
Nvidia is pushing out a new update for their Shield Android TV console which brings with it a lot of requested enhancements, fixes, and upgrades to various aspects of their OS and software. Depending on what you use your Shield console for, this update is a much welcomed improvement overall.
Oculus Rift held their Pre-E3 press event moments ago, officially announcing the Oculus Rift as an official commercial product. Along with this announcement were some other surprising announcements made on stage, including the fact that the Oculus Rift headset will come bundled with an Xbox One controller and adapter, as well as working natively with Windows 10 and allowing for Xbox One game streaming to the headset.
Oculus Rift is hosting their E3 2015 press event a bit early, since E3 doesn't start until next week. The event will introduce the Oculus Rifts' new branding/logo as well as a website with a countdown clock, most likely counting down till the commercial release of the Oculus Rift, something a lot of people have been waiting for.
Recently we reported on the Android micro-console maker Ouya, who has had a fair amount of difficulty as of late, who were looking for a potential buyer to acquire the company. It appears that there is one company who is interested in this proposal and it happens to be Razer.

I was recently called by Greenberg, Stern & Associates. One of the first things they told me is that they have a warrant for my arrest that will be given to me the next day if I don't pay. I thought this tactic was illegal. Seems like a fishy con thing going on with this.

Is it possible to specify and offset for particular categories? I see that there are a few plugins like Customizable Post Listings, Get Offset Excerpt Test v0.71, or Show Categories 1.4. The first two provide the option for an offset which is what I need for what I am trying to do but it does not perform at the category level like I need.
Here's what I am going for in the end product then we can figure out how to make it work (if it's even possible to make work): It's a news site that will have content in a number of standard "news type" sections (Politics & Foreign Affairs, Arts & Culture, et al.). The way that the front page is laid out is it will have a big floated box for a feature story item. The rest of the page has the regular story items on the left side flowing down the page. And finally a sidebar for news brief items.
The issue I'm having involves only the feature story float and the regular stories. What I'm trying to accomplish is have the old feature stories (which have a category of "Feature Story" applied to them appear with the regular stories basically with an offset of "1" and of course the latest feature story will be int he float. Does that make sense? It's late here so if not I can explain with more coherency tomorrow.
To help you guys see what I mean view the mockup I've got here (link removed) Thanks for your help. :)

Naomi Campbell to follow Kabbalah?
In 2008 Campbell had criticised the sect, saying, "I knew about Kabbalah before Madonna got involved. Kabbalah is not a religion, it's a program. I don't like to get hooked on things like that. It re minds me of AA, but just with different words. They've got the same principles . . . I just believe in God. I am religious. I pray most days and do my thing. But each to their own."
