22.19 - Kepler's Laws of Planetary Motion - Johannes Kepler - Scientific Discovery

1. The orbit of every planet is an ellipse with the sun at a focus.

2. A line joining a planet and the sun sweeps out equal areas during equal intervals of time.

3. The square of the orbital period of a planet is directly proportional to the cube of the semi-major axis of its orbit.

These three mathematical laws were discovered by German mathematician and astronomer Johannes Kepler (1571–1630), and used by him to describe the motion of planets in the Solar System. They describe the motion of any two bodies orbiting each other.

Kepler worked from the observations of Tycho Brahe, which he published as the Rudolphine tables. Around 1605, Kepler found that Brahe's observations of the planets' positions followed these relatively simple mathematical laws.

Kepler's laws challenged Aristotelean and Ptolemaic astronomy and physics. His assertion that the Earth moved, his use of ellipses rather than epicycles, and his proof that the planets' speeds varied, changed astronomy and physics. Almost a century later Isaac Newton was able to deduce Kepler's laws from Newton's own laws of motion and his law of universal gravitation, using classical Euclidean geometry.

In modern times, Kepler's laws are used to calculate approximate orbits for artificial satellites, and bodies orbiting the Sun of which Kepler was unaware (such as the outer planets and smaller asteroids). They apply where any relatively small body is orbiting a larger, relatively massive body, though the effects of atmospheric drag (e.g. in a low orbit), relativity (e.g. Perihelion precession of Mercury), and other nearby bodies can make the results insufficiently accurate for a specific purpose.

About time. Nice pick.

So we're essentially a 19 participant draft moving forward with 1 dedicated saboteur. I for one would enjoy this a lot more if we'd simply accept that instead of trying to have a discussion with someone who's clearly not interested in participating in good faith.

23.14 An American Dictionary of the English Language - Noah Webster (Non-fiction)

First published in 1828, this dictionary took nearly 27 years to complete and it was the first dictionary to show the Americanized English language, showing color instead of colour, etc. The ridiculousness of that extra "u" had to be dealt with! It had in it nearly 12000 words that had never before appeared in a dictionary such as skunk and squash which were obviously native to our country. This is very relevant in today's society considering it has since transformed into the modern Merriam-Webster Dictionary.

 

[Abrantes]

I'd rattle off some name-dropping, but the most I can do is a whole bunch of comic book writers/artists. That's pretty awesome in my book, though.

[Yankee23Fan]

I had a 5 minute conversation with Eddie Izzard at Newark Airport once. Ate several meals with Governor Whitman, DiFrancesco and Florio. Had Florio as a professor. Got held by the arm by a Secret Service agent because the President (Bush) was walking by at a fundraiser. Have met Rudy Guiliani several times. Was in the same room with Clarence Thomas while not on the bench once. And had a cab stolen from me in NYC by the Press Secretary guy from Spin City who was also in that awful couple comedy with the chick from Twister and the annoying jewish guy.

I think that's all I have.

ETA: Had lunch at the same table as Ron Jaworski once.

[northern exposure]

So far I've just been an interested observer in this thread. But I have to agree with MisfitBlondes, you do obnoxiously name drop. I remember reading one of your posts in the "Favorite Clint Eastwood Movie, as an actor" thread where you stated:

"Voted for GBU. Josey Wales was a close second but nodded towards the better movie. Kelly's Heroes was in the mix but he was overshadowed by Sutherland in his best role ever (a point I argued with his son over drunken arm wrestling one night, can't remember who won)"

Please explain how exactly that was germane to the discussion at hand. TIA.

I don't have a horse in this race, just thought some facts should be presented.

See if you can follow this simple bit of logic. Talking about the opinion of Clint's performances. I made a statement about the characters in KH, Oddball in particular and then follwed it with an anecdote from work which spoke to my admiration of the character. Sounds pretty on topic to me. Maybe not 100%, but not far off.The Tyson thread? Would it have been better if I said I had seen him with his family at the mall and they looked happy? Is there a difference that I saw him at work? The guy that posted after me said he was going to make the same statement after seeing him on Kimmel (which he couldn't have related to me if I'd said it was at a mall). I happened to see more of Tyson, along with how happy he seemed with his family. I can't relate that because he's a "name"?

As for name dropping in this thread, I've tried to keep it pretty on topic as well. Additionally there are a lot of people in the thread doing the same thing I am, namely relating experiences from their personal or professional life that relate to the topic at hand. Is anyone railing on Krista for name dropping all the countries she's been to, is in, or is on her way to? How about sniping at her and BobbyLane and Abrantes and several others for having the audacity to name drop the museums, sculptures, paintings, locations and other "great works" they have seen in person. Should we chastise Tides for letting it be known seceral times that he was in the NBA? Or that he has a well stocked wine cellar and feels the need to share it along with his fancy menu with us? Though as an aside the Bud Light and Coors Light pretty much killed an aura of sophistication he might have had. Some of the lawyers have told rememberences of their court cases or experiences, that doesn't seem to be a problem either. I happen to work with "names" so when I talk about work, "names" are going to come up. If thatguy talks about Ted Levine and I relate story about Ted Levine, am I really name dropping or simply adding alittle tidbit about someone we're talking about in the same fashion that Krista or BL talks about seeing a painting in person? Does it matter that the guy who brouight up Ted Levine replied that he enjoyed the story? Should all the braggarts in the Tyson thread audaciously letting us all know that they themselves are parents be sniped at?

Ah but you see, I angered MB after he once again got slapped down for trying to impress everyone with how coolly "outside of the box" he is. So my stories of work are me being unclassy and trying to impress people I will never meet, as opposed to everyone else who does the same thing. And then mysteriously a group of people who only come into the thread when MB is in the midst of his shenanigans start piling on too.

So stay classy MB, all your aliases and piling on buddies.

(btw, I've worked with Will Ferrel too and had a crew shirt that said Go @#*% Yourself San Diego)

First of all I am not a "buddy" of MB. As I said in my post I have followed this thread for a while and just haven't started reading posts now. I guess it is just easier for you to lump everybody together that disagrees with you and dismiss them because they are associated with MB (even if it is just in your mind). If a discussion about Clint Eastwood movies logically links in your mind to sharing a story about drunken arm wrestling with Keifer Sutherland, then so be it. But, rather than just stating you discussed it with him, you stated you debated it while drinking and arm wrestling. That suggests a kinship with this celeb that probably does not exist.

You probably rule at Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon, dontcha? I've been an extra in a few films. Can I say I've worked with Brad Pitt? Because I don't say that now.

The kinship existed at the time, no longer. If I state I discussed it with him, isn't that just name dropping as well? Does it matter if it was after work drinking or on set duscussions? If you've been an extra and worked with him then you can say you worked with him, if you did. And you should know that you make friends during a show and then you all move on to other shows. At the time we were work buddies, haven't seen him since. Everyone I've said I worked with, I worked with and if I said I talked to them, then I talked to them. It's pretty easy to follow.I do have a pretty decent knowledge of movies having studied them a lot, but not so good at the Kevin Bacon game, although how that is germane to the topic is a lot mroe fractured than me relating an anecdote from work about discussing a character that was brought up in a thread...

Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon is a trivia game based on the concept of the small world phenomenon and rests on the assumption that any actor can be linked through his or her film roles to actor Kevin Bacon within six steps. This concept seems pretty similar to going into a thread about Clint Eastwood movies and roles and bringing up Donald Sutherland's role in Kelly's Heroes and then mentioning you discussed the Oddball role with Donald's son ,Keifer, during a drunken arm wrestling match. Get it now?From wikipedia:

Bacon appeared in a commercial for the Visa check card that parodied the game. In the commercial, Bacon wants to write a cheque to buy a book, but the clerk asks for his ID, which he does not have. He leaves and returns with a group of people, then says to the clerk, "Okay, I was in a movie with an extra, Eunice, whose hairdresser, Wayne, attended Sunday school with Father O'Neill, who plays racquetball with Dr. Sanjay, who recently removed the appendix of Kim, who dumped you sophomore year. So you see, we're practically brothers."

23.15 - Movie - Psycho - Alfred Hitchcock

A truly iconic film. Don't think I need much of an explanation here, but I will post some IMDB trivia for giggles.

Alfred Hitchcock bought the rights to the novel anonymously from Robert Bloch for only US$9,000. He then bought up as many copies of the novel as he could to keep the ending a secret.

Director Cameo: [Alfred Hitchcock] about four minutes in wearing a cowboy hat outside Marion's office.

For a shot right at the water stream, Alfred Hitchcock had a six-foot-diameter shower head made up so that the water sprayed past the camera lens.

Marion's white 1957 Ford sedan is the same car (owned by Universal) that the Cleaver family drove on "Leave It to Beaver" (1957).

First American film ever to show a toilet flushing on screen. Joseph Stefano was adamant about seeing a toilet on-screen to display realism. He also wanted to see it flush. Alfred Hitchcock told him he had to "make it so" through his writing if he wanted to see it. Stefano wrote the scene in which Marion adds up the money, then flushes the paper down the toilet specifically so the toilet flushing was integral to the scene and therefore irremovable.

To ensure the people were in the theaters at the start of the film (rather than walking in part way through) the studio provided a record to play in the foyer of the theaters. The album featured background music, occasionally interrupted by a voice saying "Ten minutes to Psycho time," "Five minutes to Psycho time," and so on.

Wow, seriously? You're going to keep at this?

A lot more people in the draft didn't have a problem with this pick than did.

Not the way the appeals/overruling process was set-up and has been enforced.Tim = NoDoug = NoPick is overruled. Re-pick or reallocation needed. But, whatever. Terrible pick for that category. Will get a terrible score. If he insists on keeping it, no skin off my back.

Tim wasn't required to veto the pick since a moderator wasn't needed in the first place. Most people agreed it was a valid selection.

Please. As a drafter, Tim has the right to object to a pick. He used that right to object to your pick. As one of the triumvirate, he simultaneously ruled against the pick. You disagreed with this. The decision was appealed to the other two of the triumvirate (which was put in place so Tim didn't have sole veto power as the person charged with running the draft). Krista ruled in your favor. Doug B sided with Tim. Pick overruled.Again, seriously?????This exchange and your unwillingness to just make another pick or reallocate the pick is why Genedoc made the comment he did.

Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon is a trivia game based on the concept of the small world phenomenon and rests on the assumption that any actor can be linked through his or her film roles to actor Kevin Bacon within six steps. This concept seems pretty similar to going into a thread about Clint Eastwood movies and roles and bringing up Donald Sutherland's role in Kelly's Heroes and then mentioning you discussed the Oddball role with Donald's son ,Keifer, during a drunken arm wrestling match. Get it now?

So you see, we're practically brothers."

Yes I know of and understand the game, that's why I said I wasn't good at it instead of saying I don't know what it is. If you can't follow the logic of discussing why Kelly's Heroes isn't my favorite piece of Clint's work because of my affinity for Oddball which then follows to an anecdote of me discussing that very same fact with someone close to the actor that played Oddball...

Let's just say that I am not too worried about trying to impress someone who doesn't get it.

23.08 - Lake Ponchatrain Causeway - Building/Structure - Nawlins, Nufced

from wikki

The Lake Pontchartrain Causeway, or the Causeway, consists of two parallel bridges crossing Lake Pontchartrain in southern Louisiana. The longer of the two bridges is the longest in the world over water, measuring at 23.87 miles (38.42 km) long. It is also the second longest in the world over any terrain, behind the Bang Na Expressway landbridge. The bridges are supported by 9,500 concrete pilings.[2] The two bridges feature bascule spans over the navigation channel 8 miles (13 km) south of the north shore. The southern terminus of the Causeway is in Metairie, Louisiana, a suburb of New Orleans. The northern terminus is at Mandeville, Louisiana.

Team Norwood/Anborn selects:

23.16 - A Christmas Carol (Dickens, 1843) - Novel

Marley was dead: to begin with. There is no doubt whatever about that. The register of his burial was signed by the clergyman, the clerk, the undertaker, and the chief mourner. Scrooge signed it. And Scrooge's name was good upon 'Change, for anything he chose to put his hand to.

Old Marley was as dead as a door-nail.

Mind! I don't mean to say that I know, of my own knowledge, what there is particularly dead about a door-nail. I might have been inclined, myself, to regard a coffin-nail as the deadest piece of ironmongery in the trade. But the wisdom of our ancestors is in the simile; and my unhallowed hands shall not disturb it, or the Country's done for. You will therefore permit me to repeat, emphatically, that Marley was as dead as a door-nail.

Some historians have suggested that A Christmas Carol's popularity played a significant role in redefining the importance of Christmas and the "spirit" of the holiday. "If Christmas, with its ancient and hospitable customs, its social and charitable observances, were in danger of decay, this is the book that would give them a new lease," said English poet Thomas Hood.

Please. As a drafter, Tim has the right to object to a pick. He used that right to object to your pick. As one of the triumvirate, he simultaneously ruled against the pick. You disagreed with this. The decision was appealed to the other two of the triumvirate (which was put in place so Tim didn't have sole veto power as the person charged with running the draft). Krista ruled in your favor. Doug B sided with Tim. Pick overruled.Again, seriously?????This exchange and your unwillingness to just make another pick or reallocate the pick is why Genedoc made the comment he did.

I'd have no problem if there was any willingness on Tim's part to admit he doesn't have a clue what is involved with my selection. He wants something that is found in a library and isn't willing to even try to adjust his stance. I went with his criteria set forth after he disallowed the Immaculate Reception and this meets everything he stated. To be honest, I don't even want Tim to rank any of the plays I select as I have no use or respect for his opinions from this point forward.

More useless babel. More hypocrisy.:sigh:

Wow, seriously? You're going to keep at this?

A lot more people in the draft didn't have a problem with this pick than did.

Not the way the appeals/overruling process was set-up and has been enforced.Tim = NoDoug = NoPick is overruled. Re-pick or reallocation needed. But, whatever. Terrible pick for that category. Will get a terrible score. If he insists on keeping it, no skin off my back.

Tim = noKrista = yesDoug B. = said pick was on the fringe of the categoryFringe = marginal therefore the selection stands. I have fringe on my skirt today, it's still part of the skirt even if it isn't the main piece of fabric. Without the fringe my skirt would be plain and dull, but with it it is sexy.

Bullet-proof logic, there.

23.17--In the Wee Small Hours-Frank Sinatra-Album

An album by Frank Sinatra with arrangements by Nelson Riddle, released in 1955. The first "concept album", which was basically invented by Frank and Nelson. Some have called it Frank's finest album and the one that put him back on top as a saloon singer. It remains one of the most celebrated and enduring concept albums ever recorded. Andybody who doesn't love Sinatra, doesn't love music.

Nice try. Good argument. Nice analogy. But Doug said......

It's up to me? The guy that hates painting corners? My take on this should be no mystery.

Pick the center of the category, please ... quit fooling around with the fringes. Wrestlemania is a light year away from a Play. The great bulk of it is improv, anyway (IOW, the results are fixed, the "wrestling" is improv). It's not like you see re-enactments of WrestleMania IV at the "McMahon In the Park" festival every spring.

Meaning, not a Play. Ergo, vetoed.
