Golf Rangefinders Decision

buffaloes: what has to end is not our world, but what of heresies! Books

Following the 2012 movie ... I'm happy to say two things: enough buffaloes!

Meteorites rain falling on the ground, square miles of land sinking into the void, a thousand meters high tsunami waves that affect the city can bring to the surface and even the Russian and American submarines. In short, a nightmare that you can only have after eating peppers as a must! Yes, because we know that eating too much then it explodes! The Mayan calendar marks the end of time, but just because the Mayan calendar?? And why now it turns out this great revelation? As it happens now 2 years from the return of the great anno, speriamo non pieno di sfiga come tutti gli altri bisestili! Ci hanno burlato bene gli inventori di questa eresia, ha attaccato meglio delle eresie catare e bogomile del Medioevo. Oh, perfino nell’anno Mille non erano tanto angosciati e per fortuna non avevano la nostra tecnologia, altrimenti sarebbero tutti morti davvero!

Il genere catastrofico però si sa che attira sempre un grandissimo traffico mediatico, più dei rapimenti alieni, dei crop circle e delle cadute dei meteoriti anche perchè è sempre un modo per fare casino sulla questione ambientale, sulle profezie a cui solo pochi possono accedere per poterle poi rivelare ed infine per incassare tanti soldoni alla faccia dei contribuenti e degli ignoranti. Il film 2012 In fact he did collect $ 65 million in 1st weekend only! and think that it cost $ 200 million. For a film must first take fear from fear in front of the costs involved.

After "The Day After Tomorrow" here is another dose of purgative that will give a lot to do to those who believe that the world will end in 2012! The beauty is that December 22, 2012 scientists and physicists will laugh until stomach ache of heresies not come true! The horror genre is already known, is a continuous and endless race to those who dislike more the viewer stuck between gut and blood in rivers, now people do not impress most of the film, even the exorcist today is a film that does just laugh. A laugh less however, are the directors of this genre of films that receive less and less, because now the people of the devil, the killer may no longer scared of those on TV at least, but when it comes to really fear the apocalyptic genre seems to catastrophic to its effects so that form on the web community of people who confess the most obscene things imaginable to make the so-called discharge of consciousness, some people will do, somebody will be on drugs and whatever else, everything so as not to be lucid at the time of the big bang. Another bomb that Maradona or the boot of San Gennaro, 2012, with only his name is the fireworks, so instead of enjoying the fireworks 31 - 12-2012 ten days before we toast barrels never seen before and more real than ever!

NASA has honestly given up after giving more than ever, his explanations clear and simple, based on years of work and university studies as well as in field geophysics and astronomy. If a meteorite fell to earth, we can only hope that is small, even if those so far made on the black list are of substantial size to cause serious damage to the planet, although the scope of impact require a jinx on the planet with the capital S, whereas some are 1 million. After the close of the buffalo in 2000, and we're still here, many have opened their eyes and stopped also believe it because someone said "A Thousand and not more than one thousand", so in theory every thousand years one end of the world. In fact, the phrase a thousand and not more than a thousand is a mistranslation of a phrase of St. John in his Revelation, when he says several times the phrase a thousand years, but as already mentioned in this site, the thousand years at the time of San Giovanni and then also the time of our Lord, were not years of 365 days, but the Book of Revelation is written in a metaphorical and allegorical key, ask any priest who has seriously studied this issue by the end of the world.

Apocalypse in fact there are several steps:

  1. “Afferrò il dragone, il serpente antico - cioè il diavolo, satana - e lo incatenò per mille anni ” (Apocalisse 20,2)
  2. “lo gettò nell'Abisso, ve lo rinchiuse e ne sigillò la porta sopra di lui, perché non seducesse più le nazioni, fino al compimento dei mille anni . Dopo questi dovrà essere sciolto per un po' di tempo.” (Apocalisse 20,3)
  3. Poi vidi alcuni troni e a quelli che vi si sedettero fu dato il potere di giudicare. Vidi anche le anime dei decapitati a causa della testimonianza di Gesù e della parola di Dio, e quanti non avevano adorato la bestia e la sua statua e non ne avevano ricevuto il marchio sulla fronte and hand. They came to life and reigned with Christ for one thousand years ; (Revelation 20:4)
  4. other dead did not come to life until the age of one thousand years . This is the first resurrection. (Revelation 20.5)
  5. Blessed and holy is he who prendon the first resurrection. On them the second death has no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ and will reign with him for one thousand years . (Revelation 20:6) When
  6. one thousand years are ended, Satan will be released from his prison (Revelation 20:7)

In these six sentences in the Middle Ages, they found a way to argue that in the Year Mille would have come out of this world. In Mille strange events took place but no details or weather or documented today calculated according to certain frequencies. Perhaps some eclipse, maybe not even in Italy have seen. Also reading the entire text of the Bible is observable as the years are not just our year of 365 days. The first books including those of Genesis, men who speak of Campania even 600 years! or 900! It's hard to think that the man had a sharp and sudden decline in both life expectancy only for eating an apple. The key of interpretation must also be used with a little 'common sense and logic. If the Christian doctrine of man disobeying God has known death, this is not to be interpreted with a lower life expectancy. Science is one thing and religion is another, and both can coexist and be right if they are known and studied using common sense and logic. Also in Revelation does not say when you absolutely must have a thousand years, although it was assumed that force should be counted from the birth of Christ, others in the Middle Ages said that the count was from the death of Christ, then the end of the world was not just the year 1000, but 1033. The 1033, however, did not happen anything, no significant historical event from contemporary history also affect! Since Thousand Year was not anything happened, people did not bother and let the centuries until some wise guy did not have the bright idea at the approach of 2000, to put the rumor that the world was ending, they said "A thousand years." If it had not been one thousand years before, or it could be 1000 years later?? And it happens in a leap year?

Knowing that leap year comes every 4 years, we excel and have fun starting right from 2012 and taking away four years, to calculate all leap years from 2012 until the year one thousand going back in time. What have we discovered? That was also the year one thousand leap! Is it possible that he was born precisely from the fact that leap years bad luck? that every leap year should a disaster happen? The end of the world?

bees year 1000, the year 2000 were leap years, 2008 was the last, the next one is 2012 ... do not want someone pulling dance in the Mayan prophecies? But what the Mayan center then? Ah, maybe not quite ... but it was the Maya the bee Maia who said that by 2012 there will be a hornet's nest because everyone will be disappointed! According to scholars

maia change should be made of any era of change, usually positive, but not lifting the earth's crust, invasion of neutrino clouds, storms solari come accade nel film, dove si parla addirittura di dislocamento della crosta terrestre. Per chi non lo sapesse il dislocamento della crosta terrestre è un fenomeno che comporta il movimento dell’intero blocco della crosta terrestre (quella su cui camminiamo) di diverse miglia in una determinata direzione con la conseguenza di terremoti e maremoti e la conseguenza finale di inondazioni apocalittiche con onde alte mille metri. Insomma un vero e proprio esodo dal quale i protagonisti del film si salvano salendo clandestinamente su una delle famose arche.

La teoria della dislocazione terrestre è appunto una teoria, anche se trovò l’approvazione di Einstein negli anni ‘50, ma è una teoria (che non è da escludere that may be true) that would result in addition to consequences, also known as the shift of the earth with the result that the sky "falls" that the "sun" falls, the Maronites of physicists and scientists fall! Many tend to exaggerate this theory to coincide with the phenomenon of magnetic pole. The latter is a phenomenon still far gentlemen, there is perhaps even more the human race when that happens! This is a phenomenon which takes about 3 or 4 years to re-establish and during this reversal occurs the loss of electromagnetic protection from UV rays, then there would be serious consequences for the means of transmission and for the health of people with a boom of tumors. Do not forget that UV rays are harmful and that unless we begin to treat good Mother Earth, we hurt only ourselves. When you return to have stability, security returns, but for 3 or 4 years you have to be closed in the house. That's what the magnetic pole. But this is a phenomenon than the age of the earth is near, very near, but compared to the age of man it will take thousands if not millions of years and perhaps even when compared to the age of man will actually problem does not mean that we have not found a solution to protect us! We are serene and peaceful sleep before we even thousands years, unless someone has not figured out how to live forever, that would really worry, before the magnetic poles are reversed.

Also returning to the history of displacement, although it is still a theory, even looking on the internet, the "crustal displacement" are only about 2012 articles in the first place and then on Atlantis, which would disappear after just such a phenomenon, others argue that the origins of this phenomenon is common in known flood all or nearly all mythologies. The theory relies on Atlantis, however, is stronger and it makes me strongly suspect that you will not actually be another trick to say that the phenomenon is the theoretical explanation the disappearance of the legendary island and then when it comes to Atlantis one begins to climb on mirrors with theories that they want the people of Atlantis had other planets! And then we start again with heresy bigger than the other. All we need is for them to say that in 2012 will reach the visitors that we are fried! The theory is not based on the alignment of plans, because the last one there was took place in May 2000 and these effects occur rarely, since the alignment is necessary for the motion of the planets revolution are all in the same position, but as every planet in the solar system has a motorbike and then a period di rivoluzione diversa, bisogna aspettare almeno al 2040 prima di rivedere questo straordinario fenomeno che al telescopio deve essere veramente mozzafiato, ma che fortunatamente no ha nulla di catastrofico per il pianeta. I prossimi allineamenti si avranno nel 2040, nel 2060 e infine nel 2100, quando ormai avranno inventato altre eresie per dire che c’è la fine del mondo!

Una delle cose che nel film non viene citato è il fatto che il sistema solare slitta al centro della galassia (che è un fenomeno assurdo e inesistente), ma come in un buco nero? Infatti si pena che nella maggior parte delle galassie al centro ci sia un buco nero, ma non è detto, ci sono tanti fattori che influiscono e che fisici e ingegneri sanno spiegare meglio di me, ma su una cosa saranno d’accordo: che primo siamo ben lontani noi dal centro della galassia, infatti siamo nella parte più esterna e secondo non è che nel 2012 il nostro sistema solare si sposta perchè l’hanno detto due fessi che hanno letto due righe di storia dei Maya!

Insomma, per finire, se qualcuno di voi ha voglia di crederci ci creda e si guardi il film per avere un’anteprima del peggiore incubo che sta affliggendo creduloni di tutto il mondo, ma a chi ci crede, un piccolo consiglio: perchè non mi regalate le vostre azioni, c/c, così visto che dopo non vi servono più perchè verrà la fine del mondo, io adesso saprei come investirli e me ne starò alle Hawaii mentre i creduloni saranno sulla latrina e il 23 dicembre 2012 vi restituirò tutto quello che non ho speso, ma senza gli interessi! Potrebbero essere anche solo pochi cents, ma almeno io potrò dire che ho fatto una vacanza che è la fine del mondo!

hawaii

Che ve ne pare??? Bella spiaggia eh? Ah dimenticavo porto con me il ragazzo, una vacanza da sola non sarebbe più la fine del mondo! LOL! In anticipo di 3 anni: buon 2013 a tutti!

The book deals with the emergence of the fashion phenomenon with its practices of production and consumption and its future real institution of modernity (especially from the sixteenth century onwards).

Spread across the fashion, the dynamics between social disciplining of body and desire for transgression, we can trace the complex paths of identity, gender and geography of the passions. Fashion, Desire and the new change will constitute the basis of economic, social and cultural rights.

"is a surprisingly valuable, that of 'Lorenzo Sticks' one of the many pseudonyms used by the literary critic and poet Olindo Guerrini, who lived in the past two centuries (1845-1916). Preziosa non solo perché rappresenta la prima rigorosa indagine sull'arte culinaria italiana del tardo Medioevo (1300 e 1400), che basterebbe sol questo a farne un grande libro. Ma anche e soprattutto per lo sguardo curioso e attento del Guerrini sulle abitudini alimentari, le mode e le idiosincrasie di quel tempo; per la capacità ch'egli dimostra - da critico raffinato e ghiottone impenitente quale era -, di saper leggere e interpretare il 'linguaggio della tavola' medievale." dalla prefazione di Ezio Santin.

Il libro dell'arte

di Cennini Cennino

Scritto a cavallo tra il XIV and the fifteenth century by Cennino Cennini, a painter of the Florentine school, born in Colle di Val d'Elsa, a pupil of Agnolo Gaddi and perhaps author of "Madonna with Child" kept at the depot of the Uffizi, "The Book of 'art' is certainly the most famous treatises on art techniques that have been handed down. The success of this work, which was probably born in one of the powerful corporations that regulate and protect the work of painters in particular dates back to the last two centuries, in what has become a kind of totem, a poster of the painting from Giotto, the great master who in the words of Cennino "rimutò art of painting from greek to latin and brought in the modern. " Since the early nineteenth century became an important document for the history of art and for those who could seize the historical, stylistic and philological. With the book edited by Franco Brunello in 1971, was finally incorporated as the first exemplar of a technological renaissance, the precursor of the series of treatises on various industrial arts, which flourished in Italy between the fifteenth and sixteenth century. " This edition Cennini submit the text to a full examination and contextual.

Il piacere nel Medioevo

di Verdon Jean
Baldini Castoldi Dalai, ed. 1999, 215 pp.
La mentalità e la sensibilità medioevale sono molto lontane dalla nostra, anche se, nel profondo, la natura umana è immutabile. Il testo affronta un problema centrale del costume, quello dell'amore e della sessualità, in tutti i suoi aspetti, e ne analyzing the reflections, studies the behavior, tells anecdotes and trivia. Next to love, also shows other pleasures and hedonism, such as the food and wine, games and parties.
If you thought the Middle Ages would never be revealed, here, but the secrets and the explanation of one of the many myths of medieval history, the taboo that few want to tackle a problem that many refuse to solve a mentality that nobody wants and never wanted to understand: sexuality in the Middle Ages. A book that might have been prohibited at the time, but today provides us with so many explanations that a thousand years ago, perhaps no one would have neither given nor wanted to. Other than courtly love: human love and amor proprio!

adulterers and cuckolds. History of male sexuality in medieval and modern


of Daedalus and Maurice Daumas, 2008, 447
According to the same author, this research is inspired by a mystery that spans three centuries of European history, in the long transition from the Middle Ages to the door dawn of modernity. The puzzle is represented by the ambiguity and paradoxical centrality assumed by a seemingly frivolous subject, the "horns". If a Hiatus is adultery, that all laws condemn as one of the most serious crimes, serious threat to the good order of society, on the other horns I costituiscono il lato ludico, faceto, la rielaborazione "mitica" di un argomento scottante. Nella realtà è la donna a pagare il prezzo della repressione, dato che all'uomo è concessa una libertà di costumi che rende l'adulterio un fenomeno tipicamente maschile, emblema della subalternità femminile. L'uomo, d'altra parte, assume il ruolo del protagonista: vittima di una pretesa tendenza al tradimento della donna, ma soprattutto eroe incontrastato di una cultura propriamente rinascimentale, tanto ossessionata dall'argomento "corna" da farne materia privilegiata di riso ed evasione. In quest'ampia e dettagliata analisi - che si avvale di un ricco e puntuale apparato documentario and bibliography - the spheres of reality and fiction, of desire and fear, and transgression of the rule mingle to draw the sexual and emotional geography of an entire era.

But this text also sheds light on the taboo of the time, on a hot topic, hot and in some ways the engine of the greatest scandals of the medieval period, quegli scandali che però anzichè essere di monito, sono stati solo di esempio tornare a sbagliare nei secoli successivi. Per chi pensava che l’amor cortese fosse un realtà, ecco un libro che rivela quanto meno i miti e le leggende su un argomento che fa arrossire anche gli stessi scrittori. Nelle antiche culture precristiane sopravvissute anche nel Medioevo, la sessualità era vista diversamente rispetto alla cultura cristiana. Un libro che non è scandaloso, ma che risponde a tante curiosità. Da considerare come un testo di saggistica, un testo sulla visione della sessualità nel Medioevo, non un libro di altro genere.

La donna, la famiglia, l'amore tra Medioevo e Rinascimento

di Furlan Francesco
Olschki ed, 2004, 122 pp.
Il volume affronta, per "quadri" successivi ma secondo prospettive convergenti, testi diversamente noti di autori che soprattutto fra Tre e Quattrocento hanno dedicato alla donna, alla famiglia o all'amore una rilevante e non estemporanea attenzione. Compreso fra le considerazioni metodologiche da cui prende l'avvio e l'esame dei principali generi di fonti, il discorso trascorre sinteticamente dalla folta letteratura ecclesiastica in relating to the humanities and memoirs written at once familiar and drawn mainly from the mercantile middle class in Tuscany.




the word and love. Studies on the "Song of Songs in the French tradition of medieval

Paradisi Joy
and Carocci, 2010, 221 pp. Paper
of the most fascinating and enigmatic of Sacred Scripture, the Song of Songs, through allegorical interpretation and spiritual, is in the Middle Ages, the Ars Amandi Deum for excellence, the extraordinary story of the love story that combines the creative Word His creature (whether understood as the soul, the community of the faithful or the Virgin). "The and love word "identifies the complex medieval reception of the Song, the establishment of an exegetical tradition in French, between thirteenth and fourteenth centuries. The book presents the reader with the results of a study that renews this phenomenon to some preliminary and essential moments: the medieval heritage of Origen, the practice of lectio divina, developed within the monastic readings during the twelfth century. They also investigated the oldest metric paraphrase of the Song in the language of oil, in a perspective that weaves the discussion of the philological and interpretative focus of the literary and ideological themes proposed in the various rewrites of the Bible book. In these works, in the apparent maze of hermeneutics puntuale della Parola, sono riconoscibili ardui percorsi ascetici e devozionali, scanditi dalla meditazione della Passione, dall'esposizione di nozioni dottrinali (la "carità ordinata", l'umanità-divinità di Cristo), dal riaffiorare di immagini e concetti (il "cuore amoroso", la "coscienza") che, ben oltre il Medioevo, godranno di larghissima fortuna nel discorso mistico occidentale.
