The conservative Christian law firm Liberty Counsel has come out with a new game ostensibly designed to encourage Americans to pray for their elected officials. At least the liberals, who presumably are more in need of prayer.
The firm's new "Adopt a Liberal" trading card deck ($20) includes 51 cards displaying photos of high-profile liberals, mostly elected officials including President Obama, but also those in the media, Hollywood and other fields.
The aim is "encouraging prayer for those in leadership to restore poor leaders to right thinking," says founder Mathew Staver in a news release.
"We created the card deck with 51 cards so it's one card short of a full deck," he deadpans to Religion News Service.
The 52nd card shows the "Unknown Liberal" -- a darkened silhouette with a big red question mark on it.
"There will likely be additional liberals the Lord may bring to mind who desperately need your prayers. Feel free to select your own unique liberal and adopt them for prayer," the website notes.
"Although there is certainly a certain amount of tongue-and-cheek humor associated with this program, we desire that Liberty Counsel's Adopt a Liberal program will conform to 1 Timothy 2:1-4," Staver says on the website.
That would be St. Paul's exhortation:
"First of all that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men, for kings and all who are in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty. For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth."
Just a clever gimmick to get people talking? Not quite, Syracuse University pop culture expert Robert Thompson tells Religion News Service.
"You're putting that person (who is being prayed for) in a position of ... being in this childlike need to be enlightened. There's a certain unmitigated arrogance and hubris involved."
RNS writer Adelle Banks goes on to note that:
The card deck is certainly a kinder, gentler alternative to prayer initiatives of more extreme conservatives who have prayed, among other things, for God to smite the president and his congressional allies.
How do you pray for elected officials and others in authority? How about those you don't agree with?

1 SOFTWARE TECHNOLOGY Editor: Christof Ebert Vector Consulting Services Infrastructure as a Service and Cloud Technologies Nicolás Serrano, Gorka Gallardo, and Josune Hernantes Software and infrastructure are increasingly consumed from the cloud. This is more flexible and much cheaper than deploying your own infrastructure, especially for smaller organizations. But the cloud obviously bears a lot of risk, as our partner magazine Computer emphasized in its October 2014 issue. Performance, reliability, and security are just a few issues to carefully consider before you use the cloud. The perceived savings immediately turn into a large extra cost if your clients and workforce are disconnected for some minutes or critical infrastructure doesn t perform as intended which happens more often than what brokers and providers disclose. In this issue s column, IT expert Nicolas Serrano and his colleagues examine the enterprise cloud market and technologies. They provide hands-on guidance for making the right decisions. I look forward to hearing from both readers and prospective authors about this column and the technologies you want to know more about. Christof Ebert CLOUD COMPUTING S LOW COST, flexibility, and agility are well understood in today s corporate environment. However, to fully exploit cloud technologies, you need to understand their best practices, main players, and limitations. The concept of cloud computing has existed for 50 years, since the beginning of the Internet. 1 John McCarthy devised the idea of time-sharing in computers as a utility in Since then, the concept s name has undergone several changes: from service bureau, to application service provider, to the Internet as a service, to cloud computing, and to software-defined datacenters, with each name having different nuances. However, the core concept is the same: providing IT services based on the Internet (the cloud). The most-used definition of cloud computing belongs to the US National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST): Cloud computing is a model for enabling ubiquitous, convenient, ondemand network access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources (e.g., networks, servers, storage, applications, and services) that can be rapidly provisioned and released with minimal management effort or service provider interaction IEEE SOFTWARE PUBLISHED BY THE IEEE COMPUTER SOCIETY /15/$ IEEE
2 Providers use three well known models (see Figure 1): IaaS (infrastructure as a service), PaaS (platform as a service), and SaaS (software as a service). Here, we focus on IaaS. The next step is to decide on a model for deploying cloud services. In a public cloud, a provider provides the infrastructure to any customer. A private cloud is offered only to one organization. In a hybrid cloud, a company uses a combination of public and private clouds. To choose the most appropriate cloud-computing model for your organization, you must analyze your IT infrastructure, usage, and needs. To help with this, we present here a picture of cloud computing s current status. IaaS SaaS Network PaaS Security Management Public cloud Hypervisor Storage Computation Client Hybrid cloud IaaS Network Private cloud Security Management Hypervisor Storage Computation Cloud Computing Best Practices As with every new architectural paradigm, it s important to design your systems taking into account the new technology s characteristics. To select a cloud provider or technology, you should understand your requirements in order to list the needed features. Here are some best practices for cloud migration. 3 An Elastic Architecture IaaS offers precise scalability. The cloud can outperform physical hardware s classic scale-up or scale-out strategies. To gain as much as you can from this potential, architect your systems and application with as much decoupling as possible, using a service-oriented architecture and using queues between services. FIGURE 1. The three cloud models. IaaS is infrastructure as a service, SaaS is software as a service, PaaS is platform as a service, and stands for a virtual machine. Design for Failure High scalability has limitations. IaaS technology and architecture lead to a less robust system because you re replacing hardware with several software layers, adding obvious complexity and failure points. Redundancy and fault tolerance are primary design goals. Besides having an established backup strategy, to assure business continuity, ensure your system is prepared for reboots and relaunches. Automation in your deployment practice is a must, with recipes for server configuration and deployment. Providing automation requires new development practices (development and operations management, continuous integration, test-driven development, and so on) and new tools such as Chef, Puppet, or Ansible. High Availability IT resource disruption has a huge negative impact on any business. Lost control of the underlying infrastructure when moving to the cloud, and the fact than the service-level agreement (SLA) won t cover all the incurred costs, should lead you to design with outages and high availability in mind. With the ease of creating virtual instances, deploying clusters of servers or services is a popular approach. In this scenario, load balancing is a well-established technique for operating with clusters; it s an important feature to consider when selecting a cloud provider. It s also important to use several available zones or at least different datacenters to make your system as robust as possible. Amazon Web Services (AWS) experienced this in April 2011 when its systems didn t run or ran intermittently for four days. Separating clusters into regions and datacenters will increase your resources resilience. Performance You need to consider the technology s limitations regarding performance MARCH/APRIL 2015 IEEE SOFTWARE 31

This group includes PaaS (platform as a service) and recent providers. mainly, lack of isolation and lost robustness. In any multitenant environment, an instance s performance can be affected by your neighbors. A usage burst in a neighbor s instance can affect the available resources, notably compute units and disks IOPS (I/O operations per second). Your architecture should deal with these changes. Also, bottlenecks might arise owing to latency issues, even within instances at the same datacenter. Cloud providers offer some features to deal with this (for example, AWS placement groups). However, if your architecture has servers at different regional datacenters, you should use other techniques (for example, caching). Security Because of a public cloud s open characteristics, designing and maintaining a secure infrastructure should be an important driver in any cloud deployment. Enforce well- established security practices: firewalls, minimal server services to reduce attack vectors, up-to-date operating systems, key-based authentication, and so on. But challenges might arise from the increased number of servers to maintain and the use of the cloud for different development environments: development, staging, and 32 IEEE SOFTWARE
4 production. In this scenario, isolating and securing each environment is important because a breach in a prototyping server can give access through the secret keys to the whole infrastructure. Monitoring The ease of deploying new resources can make the number of servers grow exponentially. This raises new issues, and monitoring tools are vital to system management. First, they play a basic role in automatic scaling on a cyclical basis and based on events. Second, they re part of the tools needed to ensure a robust architecture, as the Netflix Chaos Monkey showed. Finally, they re important for detecting security breaches and forensic investigation, as some security breaches have shown. Public Clouds The public cloud was the first type of cloud offered to the general public, when AWS offered its experience with its private cloud to the general public. When you re selecting a vendor, it s important to consider several factors, mainly cost, performance, features, data location, and availability. But because the public cloud is a fairly recent technology, you should also consider vendor positioning and future use trends (see Table 1). Cloud providers are battling for market position, which is leading them to reduce their public IaaS cloud prices, offering attractive solutions. It s important to select the most effective vendor from a performance cost perspective. However, your comparison should also consider whether the performance level is guaranteed, startup times, scalability responsiveness, and latency. These factors might vary among providers and impact the infrastructure s responsiveness. The datacenters location can affect your decision. The provider should comply with data privacy laws and corporate policies; the server locations should be based on these considerations. These restrictions might vary among countries and among companies. You might find you ll need to have all data under the same jurisdiction (for example, in Europe). In other cases, Safe Harbor principles, in which US companies comply with EU laws, can be good enough. Understanding each player s SLA is important. But because almost every provider offers high-enough service levels (more than percent), it s important to evaluate the accountability the SLA offers in case of noncompliance. Normally, this won t cover the costs of outages, so your infrastructure should be prepared for them. Providers Once you ve defined your selection criteria, you can compare providers. The following are the most relevant ones. Amazon. AWS (http://aws.amazon.com) continues being the dominant player in cloud computing, thanks to Amazon having been the first company to offer cloud services, in AWS is cost effective. Its pay-asyou-go model lets you scale cloud capacity up or down without paying a high price. It also offers many additional IaaS services and integrated monitoring tools. It s particularly valuable for startups and agile projects requiring quick, cheap processing and storage. Because AWS is a general provider, you can operate independently, which is convenient for normal operations but becomes risky when problems occur. Extensive technical support is a premium feature, whereas most of AWS s competitors offer it as a standard feature. Microsoft Azure. Azure (http:// azure.microsoft.com/en-us) entered the cloud IaaS market in February It has a large market share and is a good candidate because of its market position in other areas. It offers compute and storage services similar to those of other IaaS providers, and it allows full control and management of virtual machines. Additionally, Azure s UI is easy to use, especially for Windows administrators. However, because the Azure offering is newer than Amazon s or Rackspace s, it still has many features in preview mode and still has networking and security gaps. Rackspace. Rackspace (www.rackspace.com) is a founder of Open- Stack (which we describe later) and a major player in open source cloud IaaS. It hosts more than half of the Fortune 500 companies at its datacenters, while strongly focusing on SMEs (small-to-medium enterprises). Rackspace provides an inexpensive, intuitive cloud with optional managed services and an easy-to-use control panel that suit SMEs. It also guarantees extensive support. However, it has limited pricing options, providing only month-to-month subscriptions. Also, it doesn t offer specialized services. Google. Although Google AppEngine was a pioneer of cloud computing in the PaaS model, Google Compute Engine (https://cloud.google.com/compute) is relatively new MARCH/APRIL 2015 IEEE SOFTWARE 33

Nevertheless, Google s number of physical servers and global infrastructure make it a good candidate. Moreover, Google Compute Engine is well integrated with other Google services such as Google Cloud SQL and Google Cloud Storage. Google Compute Engine is well suited for big data, data warehousing, high-performance computing, and other analytics-focused applications. Its main limitation is that it doesn t integrate administrative features. So, users must download extra packages. HP. HP is still relatively new in the IaaS game; it launched its service in December Its public cloud, HP Cloud Compute (www.hpcloud. com), is built on OpenStack and offers a range of cloud-related products and services. It s a good candidate owing to its positioning in the server market. Its IaaS offering supports public, hybrid, and private clouds. HP Cloud Compute is a good solution for companies that want to integrate their existing IT infrastructure with public-cloud services and invest in a hybrid cloud. IBM. IBM s resources, size, and knowledge of datacenters make it another player to consider. IBM Cloud (www.ibm.com/cloud-computing/us /en) offers core computing and storage services. This IaaS is best for large enterprises with heavy dataprocessing needs and security concerns. IBM Cloud provides a good combination of management, software, and security features for administrators. However, its focus is limited to medium-to-large enterprises and enterprises whose main provider is IBM. Issues and Concerns When considering adoption of a cloud architecture, it s important to understand what the technology can offer you and the main issues you ll have to deal with in each of these new infrastructures. Only by clearly understanding each of the approaches business and technical opportunities and limitations will you be able to select the best option on the basis of your needs. Besides the economic advantages from a cost perspective, the main competitive advantages are the flexibility and speed the cloud architecture can add to your IT environment. In particular, this kind of architecture can provide faster deployment of and access to IT resources, and fine-grain scalability. A recent survey indicated the issues that beginner and experienced enterprise cloud users face. 4 For beginners, the main issues are security, managing multiple clouds, integration with current systems, governance, and lack of expertise. Experienced companies face issues of compliance, cost, performance, managing multiple clouds, and security. The differences are understandable. Different problems arise on the basis of the degree of advancement of cloud architecture adoption. Early on, the main issues are resource expertise and control because the company hasn t acquired enough knowledge of and experience with the architecture. For more experienced companies, performance and cost are important because the architecture s limitations might have started emerging. Both groups must deal with security, compliance, and managing multiple clouds. Regarding security and compliance, some problems might arise from the multitenant architecture. Some of these problems might not be solved, which might tip the balance toward a private or hybrid cloud. Such a decision is plausible, in keeping with the issue of managing multiple clouds. Private and Hybrid Clouds To solve the issues with public clouds, cloud-computing providers introduced the private cloud. This cloud might be in the organization s buildings, in the farm of the organization s provider, or in another provider s datacenter. Usually, it will be virtualized, but other combinations are possible. The important element is that only the customer s organization can operate it. Because all private-cloud products allow integration with public clouds, we discuss both private and hybrid clouds here. Table 2 shows the main products used to create private clouds. 34 IEEE SOFTWARE
6 Eucalyptus Eucalyptus (www.eucalyptus.com) released its first product in Nowadays the company provides its software as open source products and services. (Recently, Eucalyptus was bought by HP, a supporter of OpenStack.) From the company s download area, you can install a private cloud on your computer. From its product area, you can contract servers for your private cloud. Eucalyptus software s main advantage is its AWS compatibility (see Table 3), based on a partnership with Amazon. So, some features that AWS makes available for the public cloud are applicable to Eucalyptus services. Eucalyptus software s weak points are the limited GUI and the risk of uncertainty generated by AWS s private-cloud strategy: AWS offers Amazon Virtual Private Cloud and a connection to a hardware VPN (virtual private network). OpenStack OpenStack (www.openstack.org) is the other main player in the privatecloud field. It s also open source, and its greatest strength is its support from companies such as AT&T, AMD, Cisco, Dell, HP, IBM, Intel, NEC, Red Hat, ware, and Yahoo. OpenStack is complex, with different components and multiple command-line interfaces. Competitors say it s not a product but a technology. This can be a barrier for nontechnical companies but not for public- and private-cloud providers, which are OpenStack s main users. For them, an open source product is attractive because, just as with using Linux in server computers, there are cost and portability advantages for the end user. Portability is another important feature of OpenStack because end TABLE 3 AWS services Eucalyptus compatibility with Amazon Web Services (AWS). Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) Amazon Elastic Block Storage (EBS) Amazon Machine Image (AMI) Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3) Amazon Identity and Access Management (IAM) Auto Scaling Elastic Load Balancing (ELB) Amazon CloudWatch users don t want to be locked into a particular provider. However, providing the option of portability can be an issue for providers that want to offer differentiated proprietary features. CloudStack Citrix purchased CloudStack (http:// cloudstack.apache.org) from Cloud.com. Citrix donated it to the Apache Software Foundation, which released it after it spent time in the Apache Incubator. Unlike OpenStack, CloudStack offers a complete GUI and a monolithic architecture that simplifies installing and managing the product. Like OpenStack, most installations belong to service providers. Cloud- Stack also offers AWS compatibility through an API translator. Proprietary Solutions ware (www.vmware.com) and Microsoft (www.microsoft.com /enterprise/microsoftcloud) emphasize the hybrid nature of their offerings. They have products for both public and private clouds and provide on-premises servers. ware products include vcloud Hybrid Service, vcloud Connector, Eucalyptus components Cloud Controller Storage Controller Eucalyptus Machine Image Walrus Storage IAM Auto Scaling ELB CloudWatch and vsphere virtualization. Microsoft has Windows Azure, Windows Server, and Microsoft System Center. These two providers offer a more integrated solution because they own their products, but the disadvantage is lack of portability. The public-cloud market has some years of history and well-known players. But remember that the cloud-computing market is growing. Newcomers are always entering, and the leaders in public- and private-cloud services can change. So, your selection of a cloudcomputing model and provider must take into account the factors listed in Tables 1 and 2, a service s specific purpose, and the elements of the application you want to migrate to the cloud. The approach and reach of your cloud adoption efforts will be limited by each situation. For example, your application architecture and the technology involved won t be the same if you re migrating an application not yet developed or an existing legacy system. Regarding a new application, MARCH/APRIL 2015 IEEE SOFTWARE 35
7 BUNTPLANET BuntPlanet (http://buntplanet.com) is a small-to-medium enterprise focusing on software engineering. It was founded in 2000 in San Sebastian, Spain. It offers a range of applications mainly for utilities, and it develops custom applications using agile practices. Although BuntPlanet had some experience with cloud services, it was only in 2009 that it decided to use the cloud for its internal applications. The availability of Amazon s European datacenter was a determining factor because BuntPlanet could comply with Spanish data protection laws. During the selection process, the company compared other alternatives but chose Amazon mainly for the extensive features and competitive price. At fi rst, BuntPlanet replicated its server architecture in the cloud with Amazon EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) servers. Since then, it has incrementally refactored its applications to realize the full potential of a cloud architecture. It now uses other Amazon services such as S3 (Simple Storage Service) for data storage, Glacier for backups, RDS (Relational Database Service) for relational databases, SNS (Simple Notifi cation Service) for push notifi cations, and SQS (Simple Queue Service) for queues. To achieve the required service level, BuntPlanet uses reserved instances and a second redundant region in Europe. It s also self-monitoring its cloud resources and has set alerts for failures. This approach lets the company achieve its desired reliability and availability. BuntPlanet s experience with the public cloud has been positive from economical and technical viewpoints. Using a public cloud has allowed BuntPlanet to simplify processes and minimize the need to support a big hardware infrastructure and a high bandwidth in its installations. As a result, it s promoting this architecture in its customer projects, using the public cloud for load tests and production environments. you should develop it with an elastic architecture and best practices in mind. Decouple the presentation, business, and logic layers in several services and use a queue system to communicate between them. A high number of servers, a fault-tolerant design, and automatic provisioning will require high-level features from the cloud provider or technology. Regarding a complete legacy system, refactoring the application to achieve decoupling isn t feasible. A pure cloud architecture is impossible, and a reduced list of features is required. Your priority should be virtual instances robustness and reliability. Other scenarios, such as disaster recovery or using the cloud when the demand spikes (cloud bursting), require specific cloud technology features. If you re dealing with a new application and provider independence is a priority, you might prefer an OpenStack provider. If you re migrating a legacy system and you have IT experience with ware, you might select ware for your cloud. Regarding cloud bursting in a Microsoft Server IT environment, you might choose the Microsoft solution. However, AWS, a market leader and proven feature-rich platform, is always an option. As you can see, because of the variety of choices, different customers might choose different platforms. For example, HP and Rackspace (service providers), Cybercom (a consulting company), and ebay (an end user) use OpenStack, whereas ware and Microsoft customers use their provider s solution. For a look at how one company (BuntPlanet) chose its cloud provider, see the sidebar. References 1. M. Vouk, Cloud Computing Issues, Research and Implementations, J.

What is Big Bang Theory?
The Big Bang Theory is a TV sitcom is about a socially awkward group of friends, who consist of hyper-intelligent educated nerds.
The Big Bang Theory is a TV sitcom is about a socially awkward group of friends, who consist of hyper-intelligent educated nerds.
You are absolutely right. I also believe that the show reveals more than what is seen. It consists of diff races n the representatives of these races are specialists. (Look at who does what, and works in what dept). And only one female chatacter as a main character.
The imaginative parts of their lives connect with their realities. They are AVID comic book(justice league) and star trek fans. Two of them are also virtual gamers.
Check out their religious beliefs and backgrounds.
Taking all of these factors into account; What reality is being played out in front of our eyes as humans? What "theory" is being shown to us, or what truth has been discovered/revealed about the actual theory itself?...
I am in no way experienced in this realm. With me being pretty even brained, i have the tendacy to see the spiritual in the technical, and vice versa.
Everything IS and ISNT spiritual. Im not religious, but it doesnt take a genius to see that something is definitely up with the media.
Last note: there was a show called "the theorists" released in russia around the same time, but was taken off the air. Didnt one of the main characters go into space with some type of russian aerospace connection?
Im not a conspiracist, but SOMEthing is not right...
I completely disagree. The only propaganda in the Big Bang Theory is the "Theory" part of the name. It's very clear that we were created from our natural universe, call it a big bang, whatever you'd like to over the course of millions of years. Ever hear that we're all made up of stars? Well here's how it works.
After a star dies and sheds its material, much of those elements are swept away in a dust-like cloud. Those clouds, known as nebulae, tend to spin. As the nebulae coalesce into new stars, The cloud spins faster due to the increased gravity in the center (similar to a figure skating spinning and pulling in his arms: his rotation increases). Eddies formed in the spinning cloud where material bega coming together in the process of aggregation. This included most of those heavy elements.
Thus, a planet with materials heavier than helium was formed, and this included the earth.
Much later, life formed in a process known as abiogenesis. These early life forms evolved on earth. Over 3-4 billion years, primates evolved. One lineage of the primates led to apes. A different lineage led to monkeys (i.e., we never came from monkeys). A branch off of the ape tree led to human beings.
Abiogenesis is real and has been proven, read this: http://science.nasa.gov/science-news/science-at-nasa/2000/ast20jun_1/
Society needs more logical thinking human beings to think for themselves. Propaganda plays to the emotional types who can't seperate emotion from logic.
you're promoting links from Nasa dude... Yikes. Hopefully by now you've realized that Nasa is a shit-pot of scientifically proven lies that a child could figure out.
Either way, congrats on your programmed stupidity!
Excuse me, actually you are wrong in one aspect. The publisher of this article does indeed have a very valid point. In one way this is certainly propaganda.In today's world the masses of people are deluded, hardly a fraction of the world's people are spiritual.
EVEN IF THE Big bang theory WAS NOT AIMED TO FOR PROPAGATION IT IS STILL NOT BENEFICIAL IN WATCHING. That is that !!!. End of the story.
VERY valid points, but I do think The sitcom makes fun of such people...ReplyDelete
wow just wow. you actually think the government made this to brainwash people into acting like cold-blooded people. I know this is called question everything...but really! The Big Bang Theory is a show to make you laugh. And are you sure you've even watched this show or did you search all the conspiracy theory about it and drew your own conclusion? I have watched plenty of episodes (it is my favorite show) and the characters DO NOT act cold blooded. The closest one to cold blooded would be Sheldon. And even he is a good hearted person! THIS IS BULLSHIT!ReplyDelete
My thoughts exactly. They are all nice people. :)Delete
"I know this is called question everything...but"---let me cut you off there. Why is there a but with anything, if it is question EVERYTHING? Nothing should be off limits. If you don't agree with it, dismiss it, but for you to tell someone to not question something, is as big a censorship as anything else.Delete
The brainwashing has worked obviously because of the way you defend these imagery characters who are supposedly geniuses but know nothing of how the body works or nutrition. Throughout the show all they do is eat takeout food every night and talk about how great Oreo cookies are & other crap. They're completely engrossed in all of the days modern pop culture as well. True geniuses would be more diligent in their health & wouldn't have time for all the trivial activities that the show's characters get involved in.Delete
at the end of each episode what does the statement say that is before the warner brothers logoReplyDelete
I completely disagree. Have you watched many episodes? It doesn't "promote left-brained thinking". It's a parody and the main theme of each episode it basically "thinking too narrowly can get you into trouble". Their flawed logic is pointed out throughout the entire show, by one another, and by Penny. Penny balances them out. She's a right-brained thinker and she points out their "mistakes" and attempts to get them to be more open-minded. The characters are not depicted as logical. They're depicted as completely irrational because they try too hard to rationalize things, which doesn't work in day to day work, as opposed to physics.ReplyDelete
I am currently watching a documentary called secret space vol and I am about to finish, but I had to pause it because of what is says and most important is the back up of info they present that made me wanna take a look and search Big bang theory proganda on google and here I am.
I have watched all the episodes aired until January of 2013 which is 5 and a half seasons more or less and I also ad some doubts about the real agenda of the show and I do agree there is a massive propaganda about this show in particular. I am from Mexico and always have liked american entertainment and sports and from my point of view is that people in the United States trust in such a blind way on what Hollywood, entertainment and sports real agenda and people behind your government and its main divisions such as NASA, CIA, FBI, Army, etc.
If you people think that there cant be anything beyond simply make us laugh make your own research of topics such as MK Ultra, Freemasons, Zionists, the fraud on AIDS among other topics in which never were questionable.
Good vibes from Mexico. Good po
Big Bang Theory is a terrible show. Those actors are awful, especially that Sheldon faggot.
Proper "nerd humor" would be the Venture Bros or Futurama.
And your why people think America is such a bad placeDelete
Aliens, Big brother, conspiracy, complot theories. You macchoi is just an amazing specimen. Dont you watched enough TV when you was a kid? You're afraid of everything: flies, roaches, sneeze,... As you like to say: WAKE UP!ReplyDelete
The basis of your claim is whether the characters operate intuitively, or as sensors. Considering their educational experiences (both academically, and socially) as well as family upbringing...most of them would probably regress towards socially awkward personalities...While they have their advance degrees, they're mentally still growing up. As far as propaganda, TBBT emphasizes science, why not....its not as sexually avert as Chuck Lorre's Two and A Half Men...with the exception of Howard.ReplyDelete
a Jesuit invented The Big bang Theory one : Georges Lemaître
Friend of Albert Einstein, That Show Bombards you with Subliminal Messages in the Intro, pictures of The All Seeing Illuminati Eye of Lucifer God of The Illuminati, Freemasons and Jesuits
And if Going by the The Last Two Easter Masses at the Vatican also the Catholic Church, who's Jesuits seemed to have Started all the secret society's anyway amongst over things.
In the intro, the "we build the pyramids" phrase appears above the 1700 date wich was not the time in wich those were built. But i think thats around the time the illuminati were created... So... Its definitily some sort of message.
Regarding the right left brain, the characters all love comic books... Wich is with no doubt a imagination thing. And besides, the idea that the brain is split in two parts was already debunked by a bunch of experts. Look it up.
OMG, you think a lot like me. I like your blog so far...except for one post.ReplyDelete
It's Called The big Bang Theory cause it's all about Banging, Amy wants to Bang sheldon, Rajaesh looking for someone to bang, the others too..... See!! :D it just promote sexual intercourse among young adultes who think they are "logical" it's turning the viewer from what really matters like science and intelect to focus only on having Sex, while sex nowadays is not a big of a dill and must not be it's a human activity like eating and stuff it shouldn't be our premium priority but this is what the show is trying to makes us focus on.ReplyDelete
Who ever wrote this is an idiot. Plain and simple.ReplyDelete
fuck you.Delete
Your trying to say that Big Bang theory makes people cynical but in truth this whole blog makes you sound cynical.ReplyDelete
Sounds like that near-death experience induced a DMT trip for her. I don't think that was the "right brain" speaking. I think it was the pineal gland.ReplyDelete
You should have seen the episode when the characters were stuck in Mexico because of their car's tire got stuck. Thet used science to try and fix it, guess what? The car ended up getting destroyed because of their left-brain thinking, and they could have came up with a simpler solution than experiments on their tire as a solution.ReplyDelete
You Are Absolutely Wrong.
It does make it work in Harmony, There Is right hemisphere minded character in it such as Penny, Bernadette etc and there is left minded Charecters such as Leonard, Sheldon and etc.

Mr. REHBERG. Mr. Chairman, you heard it here first. My urban colleague says the Federal Government wants to control your water on private property in rural areas like Montana.
The life of a Montana farmer is hard, up before the sun rises, working all day just to make ends meet. Between the cycle of plowing, planting, and harvesting, there are tractors to fix, barns to repair, and products to bring to market. The last thing any Montana farmer needs is another Federal mandate to follow, more red tape to cut through, and more Federal paperwork to fill out.
This country was founded by farmers. They understood from personal experience that farming is a full-time job and you can't do it right if you only do it part of the time. So the Framers of the Constitution set up a representative government that lets farmers elect men and women to fight on their behalf so they can go about their business.
The House of Representatives was meant to be the closest to the people. It's not just our privilege to stand up for our Constitution; it's our constitutional duty.
The Constitution delegates legislative power to the Congress, but lately, President Obama has, in too many cases, tried to circumvent the constitutional separation of powers. Congress managed to prevent the disastrous cap-and-trade energy tax from becoming law, so President Obama expanded the definition of a harmful pollutant in the Clean Air Act to include carbon dioxide, the stuff that we exhale.
Congress blocked the massive legislation landgrabs like the Northern Rockies Ecosystem Protection Act, so the Obama administration crafts secret plans to designate 13 million acres as national monuments using the Antiquities Act. The Antiquities Act, by the way, was passed to protect archaeological sites.
And now the Obama administration is looking to expand its reach, over the objections of both the Congress and the Supreme Court, to control water, all water everywhere.
You know, if there's one resource that's more important to dryland farmers than time, it's water. And in arid States like Montana, where we've got plenty of land, there's lots of dirt between light bulbs. The difference between feast and famine can be a little bit of water. And now some folks in the Federal Government want to get involved.
It's been a long fight. Let me show you how we got there.
Back in 2001 and 2003, the Supreme Court limited the authority of the Federal Government to regulate water. Unelected bureaucrats were trying to control water, all water, including melted snow, mud puddles and prairie potholes and irrigation ditches. But the Supreme Court said no.
This makes sense. There is a role for the Federal Government. We want clean water and a safe environment. But living in Montana means you live off the land. It means you grew up learning how to take care of your environment. In fact, Montanans were some of the first conservationists. But the role of government is not unlimited. We don't need the Federal Government thinking for us, and we don't need the Federal Government to tell us how to take care of our irrigation ditches.
The Clean Water Act gives the Federal Government authority to regulate navigable waters of the United States. President Obama and his allies in Congress are trying to eliminate the requirement that waterways be navigable. Simply eliminating that word gives the Federal Government nearly unlimited power. Fortunately, those legislative efforts have failed.
So in December 2010, the Corps of Engineers crafted a plan to identify water subject to jurisdiction under the Clean Water Act. The goal is to significantly expand Federal jurisdiction over water. The Obama administration and his allies are trying to solve a problem that does not exist.
Fortunately, the Constitution provides a check to the Obama administration's power grab. Montana farmers have a safety net--the House of Representatives. It's our job to fight this battle so that they don't have to. It's our job to act as a check and balance to over-reaching executive actions.
That's what this language does. It simply prevents the President from carrying out his plans. It ensures that when a farmer wakes up before the sun rises, they don't have to worry about onerous Federal regulation. They can just go to work on their farm. That's what the Founding Fathers would have wanted, and that's why I hope you'll join me in opposing this amendment.
I yield back the balance of my time.

Home of Ouranos' random group projects.
When it was first opened to the Ouranos folks, several large plans were put in place to develop a city, and within that city, a meta-game of sorts (similar to the Nexus Prime and Gibson projects). A large tower was proposed in the center of the sim, with smaller buildings surrounding it. After several months of start-and-stop development, the Sim was wiped in favor of a new plan. Since then, it's been a sort of sandbox for Ouranos projects and ideas.

Cancook - sorry, I thought I wrote pvc, apparently dislexia kicked in and I hit the wrong key.. It wasn't my first bag - I have another one in my gallery. And the rings and buckle were gumpaste - everything else was fondant. Bakinboi29 - I'm not a golf person either, but it's about what the clients want, right? The client is a huge golf fan and his party was at a golf course hence the golf bag.
Awesome job!! I like how you decorated the board with the grass, gloves and ball.
Very cool. Great work.
Wow! That looks awesome!!!
Very very well done! It looks flawless! ;-D
great cake! How did they cut that?
lizzie - it was constructed wedding cake style - you have to separate each cake with a board and dowels... and I was the lucky cake cutter... fun fun! lol
great job! Were you nervous transporting the cake?
WOW!! this is just amazing!
Amazing and very surprised that there aren't more comments! And into my favs!

Very nice job. Did you have to do one big piece of fondant and wrap around the tower of cake?
Great cake! Your golf bag is amazing and the gold accents are perfect..
mmmm amaretto mud sounds yummy!!! great cake!
Price - VERY nervous!! flg22275 - I did wrap it around, not over. the cake. I rolled the fondant out to the appropriate height and width, rolled it around my pcb pipe and rolled it around the sides, pressing to the cake as I went.
OMG...how absolutely super!!!! :)
Very realistic! Wonderful job.

With winter on the way, my hands are going to be really suffering. Thankfully, Dettol and E45 have joined forces to offer a great dual purpose product. Combining Dettol's anti-bacterial action with a mega dose of E45 moisturisation, this revolutionary new hand wash kills 99.9% of bacteria, removes viruses and helps to protect your skin's natural moisture level too!
The hand wash is lovely and silky to use, quite frothy and bubbly, and it feels as though it does leave a slight residue on the hands, but this soon dries and leaves behind the great moisturisation effects. My hands are markedly improved in softness after a couple of weeks' use, and I don't need to feel uncomfortable about forgetting my hand cream after every wash any more! I think this is going to be a must-have product in bathroom and kitchen as winter - and the new baby - approaches.
Definitely recommend this hand wash!
The samples we received are the Lotus Flower scent, which is lovely and fresh, as well as uplifting, but doesn't linger on the skin. Nourishing Honey and Comforting Camomile variants are also available.
Dettol with E45 Softness hand wash is available at all major supermarkets and pharmacies, including Boots, RRP £2.49 for a 250ml bottle.
