God is greater


Here are some interesting links to the banking crisis and chance:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nassim_taleb

Nassim Taleb is a professor, mathematician and philosopher, in his last book, he has argued to the effect that the future can not predictions. Essential, he says that the logic is flawed behind the theory of probability, as this on the assumption is based, that is what happened in the past, often repeated, is. By raising are not considered, which is absolutely foolish, since it is these Ausnamen straight, which is important.
summarize: The world is too complex to calculate it, no matter how many factors we include, we can never rule out that they have not missed one yet.

has, unlike many bankers Nassim Taleb not appeared on statistics and risk assessment, but on common sense (he puts it, mutatis mutandis, as follows: "when I see that a pilot has taken no precautions, and flies into a storm cloud, I am assuming that it will crash "). This made him famous during the banking crisis (he has predicted that in 2006, including the failure of Fannie Mae), and his employer, he advised the rich.

In http://www.islam-projekte.com/kalifat/kalifat/webseite/ru_artikel/buecher_deutsch/verstand.pdf there is an interesting pamphlet which argued that Islam is the religion of reason, as If God as the "what" is defined, is a rejection of God would be absurd and against reason.

In this religious context, the discussion of Nassim Taleb, who themselves as religions are opposed to describing (he was so scientists), light as a new formulation of the phrase "Allahu akbar" - "God is greater" to see.

Man will never be able to involve all in one invoice, one unknown is never ruled out - God is greater than the understanding he gave to the people.

This is a starting point for plenty of speculation, an image at the end: If God is the container, then everything is affected in this hold can be smaller.

It seems to go under those who believe in the matter, but those who recognize that the matter is no small triumph, and man be. see

Hotel Greulich

cigars for the last meeting this year we gather on November 26, 2008 at the Helvetia in Zurich. To clock 17.35, the group made their way towards the community center, to be offered out of the refurbished bar a drink offering. In the absence of seats, our train moves at the behest of Sigi towards the rising "sun." In this there are almost no seats, so we stand around at least not alone. It does not appear, but the cold beer flows through our hot throats.


Ristorante Cooperativo

Our second visit to the new Ristorante Cooperativo confirmed the impression from the first time: The service is friendly, the pizzas, mouth, open and Primitivo. In the photo we see Sigi with lusty appetite before a Comensoli image.




Hotel Greulich

was recently held in Zurich, a Dadaist Action: burn money. At this stage we can not bring us. So we burn again instead cigars. The ideal place to: The Cigar Lounge at Hotel Greulich . The walls are covered with cedar wood, the crackling log fire and no music disturbs our cigars meditation. We served by Chef Bartender Anna knowledgeable and friendly. The house provides for the cutting and burning a whole cigar-accessory available. There is the possibility of a small selection of cigars from the humidor Greulich-buy.




fuel for the debate this evening, the future smoking law in the canton of Zurich, which was adopted in September in a referendum. If this template is not yet clear whether any fumoir may be served. The cigar smokers have still so close season. The new law is expected to come in time for hunting season 2009. The Lung Association has until the first Halali So still practice in patience.


We enjoy the cigars and the perfect Mojito, has mixed the chief bartender Anna. It gives us another important information on the way home: The hotel will retain its Greulich cigar lounge in each case in the future, even if only unattended fumoir be allowed! bring

We are served by the Persian, which we already know well. The salad is always fresh, the wine selection varied.

Rex Bar

Pascal has reserved us a table in the bar Rex. The cigars are lit quickly and perfectly mixed mojitos are ready. You could read that the Rex bar is closed. For recent smoker protection vote left the bar , Announced they go on, even if she had to serve the drinks through a small window. We think this was gallows humor. As we enter the bar, only two employees are present. The back bar counter is closed. There used to be a receptionist and Gardorobière. In between appetizers were served. This evening was to see any of this: Absolute back burner! Well, we think that there will be the Rex Bar no longer in the new year. We have since then enjoyed this last night here anyway. The three cigars were destroyed properly! Three men left satisfied the Rex Bar (photo below).

Wacken Open Air 2008 - Review

Have just read the forum a little something nagging from people who find that Wacken is shit and so ....
what kind of drivel! There is too many newcomers lack basic metals under-the-cozy-feeling and babble about the mass of people.
general rule it should be noted that doing a large media presence of metal and metal events of the scene can only be good, because some bands can afford to you earlier, to play the opening act an act of commerce, than to be headlining. Furthermore, should the hard metalheads mitm Butchered at Birth T-shirt does not upset about it that they are viewed by some Dümm visitors because of their appearance. So fucking what? If you're all so hard up to put in black and corpses and skulls on your shirt, then introduce yourself kindly and not like that.

Special: I arrived with my brother and a buddy at 16:00 on Wednesday, we were stuck in traffic for a second, then have built up our tent in silence, grilled and Talking about seven beers. Then we are to WET-Stage and have inveigled Sweet Savage and the noise of the evening, Mambo Kurt. Then the tent, horny first day was to sleep.
next day, Thursday morning we had the good to us in turn to the seven Come to us beer and then made their way to Girlschool. Motörhead in female was cool. Negura Bunget
who played on the WET stage were better. (Tip for all the atmospheric, naturalistic black metal like Burzum and Enslaved comparable with later). Foresight to the masses who would come because we were directly on the site and secured us a place further back for Iron Maiden. To all the
grumble that it was too full: 1 you will not sound so, 2 people who play less but do not, 3rd at Rock am Ring you have the whole Asi Rock and whatever riff-raff there, and I can not imagine that the Maiden celebrate the way in Wacken.
Geiler gig, most fat sound!

Friday we went wrong with the usual routine, but we had less time as Primordial, the beat in a similar niche as Enslaved, only played with more clean vocals to 11th Was good. We then gave us some Cynic, with their mixture of progressive rock and death metal went with aufn bag. Listen feat like U2. Corpse Grinder ...
back to the place to chill ... Massacre, geiler gig, very cool announcements (singer said to girl who bared her breast, he would fuck her out in the Gang Bang's eyes: D
Nifelheim have fun with their Heavy Metal in Black the WET Stage, and then we had to grottig Avantasia (matter of taste, wa?) survive until finally played Gorgoroth.

must look like a black metal gig: Say no more than maybe even the title of the song, really bad getting crazy in front of boiled sheep heads and naked people on the cross; sound) very atmospheric and good. Hail Satan!

Since one could hardly longer than kip to 8, because it was too hot in the tent, we have unfortunately got only 4 hours sleep. Half drunk and delirious, we are moving towards metal market to make purchases. (Have now 2 albums from Negura Bunget completes my collection and Burzum.) Holy Moses disappointed, but Exodus were super cool. Singer was absolutely pissed and brought things like: "I believe Osama bin Laden is a terrorist and he wants to prohibit music, so sing with me to" Sons of a false God "... Politically, absolutely not my opinion but what the masses have been moved to a beautiful sight. And Trash Metal be pissed needs and this has worked.

After Exodus, we have enjoyed the Obituary-gig, and made us then to the campground because we all could not, by fatigue, alcohol and the sun. I curse you , oh sun! (quoting Maniac [ex-Mayhem], with a white corpse paint and tan lines cheer Waist Wacken '04)

We've treated it a break and have to camp back. Dream of an Opium Eater were turn next. Ultra Horny project, but unfortunately for us little more palatable, not even in the seats, so we said to ourselves that we call it a festival and went to sleep. Too bad that we missed Kreator.

The next day we packed our things in the morning and are again free storage and control broken. Overall, very cool, I'm glad I have the Rush to the X-Mas tickets still got my third
Metal On!

Saint Luis Rey cigar at The Dolder Grand


The holiday season means more stress for our event manager Pascal. Finding a date for a meeting of cigar-shaped, is difficult. But with the Wednesday, July 16, 2008, it worked at last: The Holiday absences. We choose in the Casa Samuel Menzis Saint Luis Rey Double Corona to accompany by this perfect summer evening. With anticipation of the smoking experience, we drink to drink outside overlooking the parade ground a Turbinenbräu.

For our pizza Margherita, we choose open-air courtyard of the Santa Lucia. Quick receipe is on the table. We are very satisfied. So we get to the point: In an open-air corner we find a table at the Havana Bar. Our Saint Luis Rey Double Corona are burned quickly, ordered the Mojitos. The Cuban brand Saint Luis Rey is an inside tip. Anyone who encounters at his cigar dealer that mark should definitely access and taste.

The Gran Corona Series A offers a pleasant and taste that is always full-bodied. Our chosen Saint Luis Rey Double Corona , formerly known as the "celebrities", is a very full-bodied and spicy cigar. The first of the trains at full and rich flavor is always strong in the second third, it can also develop subtle flavors. A cigar for the initiated and experienced smokers!

Big Big Women Cartoons

mind and death

day I was again in a situation where I am confronted with prejudices regarding my affinity for violent films saw. I have myself defended already aware of only half-heartedly, as I was pushed from the start in a corner, in that it was said that "those (movie fans) are sick yet" and others present "see enough terrible every day that they something not even have to give in their spare time. "

Overall, I've no problem with different views and film preferences, but I have a problem with it, that I will be forced into a corner as Gewaltfan, by such verbal violence. What a good transition is the quintessence of this entry, but that later.

Why are there people who enjoy viewing violent films, and others to avoid this? Where does the human affinity is to be watching, how to slaughter each other, and not just in television?

in the mainstream media one often reads simplicities such as the assertion that the people "is too good" and that the new media wave of violence was a response to the increasing boredom of the population. These gentlemen seem never heard of the fairy tales of the Brothers Grimm to have heard, and the horrific images that have been historically, spread by hand or mentioned in this church Metzelepos "Bible" will be disseminated to them seem to be not known. No matter what culture you get insight, it has a dark side, the some are frightened and attract others.
I express a guess: The same pseudo-intellectual wanker who thinks on the pages of "star" or "focus" of having to skip over the SAW series, or Halloween, the same ass says a hole in his stomach when he sees how Mel Gibson in Brave Heart in the home of the one guy riding and then finishes with NEM Morgenstern. We have not even put such a brutal examples of who is pleased, for example, not to the death of over 10,000 people in the Star Wars films? The great hero Luke Skywalker is aimed precisely at times NEN genocide. Or King Leonidas and his men build a wall of corpses (!) In "300".

It is not only the Representation in comic-like style that makes these acts of violence are acceptable, more importantly, the context in which they are presented. The same people who cheer on the top called a problem with "The Hills Have Eyes", or Rob Zombie's "Halloween". In both films, the body count remains far below "Brave Heart", yet they are "sick, perverse and terrible". The only difference is that in the first film so-called "innocent" people of other people are killed and tortured, doing this just for fun. In Braveheart the violence is justified because it serves a higher purpose. Only in this way on the edge, but the dead is in both cases violently no matter ...

People today are profoundly arrogant. You mean yourself by using medicine can make you immortal and they think that if they do not see who (indirectly) it dies, they have not helped. Modern man does not kill, and therefore he does not die too. 'm


As I just came out of the shower, I wanted to shave me. The problem was that the mirror all the time again shoed what I am excited. But then I realized that that is the nature of small mirrors in bathrooms and I can not change it.

The man who says he was "violent" is dangerous because it denies his nature. And that we do not change this nature that is within us, can show the violent films. One can try to rationalize the violence, but it is, and remains, as the entire breadth of human existence not understanding something like it, something that is not to include with your mind. But people who think they have the conquered on this side have problems with their mind, to do the same with the other world, and try, they are haunted by the knowledge of their own death and their powerlessness and fear. Because then they would have to consciously try to deal with the fact that hand washing is a small Holocaust against bacteria that flowed under their clothes, the blood of animals or the Welding of children in the developing world. When he confronts man with the fact of his own death, he can deny the violence that emanates from him, not even on, and it was only a snappish remark ...

Traditional Islamic cities have planned in the midst of an empty space. European cities have in their midst often a monument or a monument or the like. This represents the worship of "something", what made since the Renaissance of hand. The Islamic concept, however, the revered "Nothing," "Nothing" as a side of God ...



"Something" and "nothing" strive for balance. Our society has forgotten nothing, in others there is the thought of it yet, but he seems to sink. The Zen monks know the thoughts in the form of "Satori", the Buddhist Nirvana, Muslims know him, but knows the post-Christian West, it? For hundreds years, a conflict endures in the West, who does not know Nietzsche and Schopenhauer, who is to say that horror movies are essentially different?

The worshipers of the "something" and are afraid to defend their nature, but in the course deses inner struggle is it to external struggles for peace (Hitler 1939, Struck 2001). Those who believe they are innocent are the biggest sinners ... only those with their nature as human beings and therefore recognized as being brutal, can also learn to handle it. Not for nothing horror movie fans, lift weights and metalheads the nicest and most people are in solidarity one can imagine.

And vice versa: If modern man would recognize the impermanence and death from all worldly that surrounds him, could put his vanity and pride and would result in modest nature of creation, would itself and our world, this act very . good for Horror movies are for some people a means to achieve this. No matter how much you may love this world, respect must be paid to the next.

Mera Naam Jokerscenes




Bolivar at the Dolder



with Sigi as Albert II, Prince of Monaco






Pascal as a bodyguard








and tscheiar as tscheiar





really should Cigar smokers avoid The Dolder Grand . It is run as a Non smoking hotel. However, there as in Italy and France the opportunity, outside of his addiction or his pleasure to investigate. So we sit on the terrace of the lobby bar and enjoy on this sunny spring day, our evening beer (CHF 10.50). Symbol table verlüften we have a Bolivar Immensas the Dolder Ashtray:






smoking we will later, in a place where cigar lovers are still welcome. The lobby bar is the way in that part of the house where there was earlier in the Dolder Grand Hotel of the Tapestry Room. This bar is cozy and was clad in an elaborate wooden ceiling, as it was removed in the new Le Richemond in Geneva to the current renovation just now. Adjacent to the lobby bar makes the dignified Library revive the old Grand Hotel tradition, a reading room. This space would be the ideal cigar-smoking room ...





We mainly take in this evening hotel guests. If this traditional fairy tale, the hotel can attract guests from the city of Zurich on the mountain? There used to be in the bright and airy restaurant La Rotonde, a business lunch (including vegetarian version). Today, the new The Restaurant at noon a so-called amuse-bouche menu at CHF 98 - served. Vegetarian's are by appointment only. And Garden Restaurant does have a terrace with great views, but rather sober local guests will hardly attract out of town.



is insignificant in the old hotel lobby, the concierge desk. It works over the past, when her bright Rotonde restaurant was in front, dark and not particularly welcoming. The staircase now leads in the lower floor to toilets and the Garden Restaurant. After the brief tour of the new house we decide to ästimieren on a beautiful summer evening on the terrace of the lobby bar our cigars ...




For dinner we decided to visit the neighborhood behind the theater Pizzeria Pomodoro . The salad is large and market-fresh, the pizza is great and very thin, so we like them. Now we are ready for the island, on the cigar connoisseurs are welcome! So we deploy to the Hotel Eden au Lac . Here the guest is not only Prince, but King. You here, who likes to smoke cigars. The Mojito is cooked to perfection. We are very satisfied.





Finally, a thanks to our event manager Pascal for the good organization of the May 7 evening. And yes, the Dolder could resist Bolivar, at the Eden au Lac, he destroys pleasure. Sorry!

with beer and a mountain filled with nuts, we drag ourselves into the Santa Lucia Ristorante to traditional pizza. What is being served on your plate makes us very happy. Only the red wine in the glass is served too warm. We recommend him in the basement and not store next to the pizza oven. In the photo we see the Santa Lucia:


Thanks to the perfect organization by Pascal works today for once with our visit to the Rex Bar : He has a table in the back of the restaurant is reserved. Since we can comfortably and undisturbed enjoy our cigars and watch some prominent visitors. The question asked in our group when it has finally smoked out in the smoking restaurant, we could not answer conclusively. Finally, notice can be only this: Our cigars were destroyed properly!

Can We Use Doritos Salsa For Pizza?

WE SMOKE CIGARS!

One of our good intentions for the new year 2008 is: We smoke cigars! So we meet on January 30, to do this together. In the bar of the hotel Rothaus in Zurich, we toast to us with a Appenzeller beer. The house in District 4 recently found new owners who are also involved in the Riff-Raff cinema, and has been carefully renovated. The atmosphere is pleasant and we will use friendly.

to deploy to the food we St.Jakobsstrasse, has found out the Ristorante Cooperativo since earlier this year a new home. The restaurant was founded in 1905 by Italian immigrants with trade union and social democratic background.



the premises is decorated with original paintings by Mario Comensoli . Sigi is sitting in front of a group picture with matching cigar. Comensoli is from Lugano, studied at art school in Zurich and remains true to his death in 1993 of the city. His themes, he takes out of the social present.

The mixed salad with spicy sauce comes quickly on the table. The Bella Margarita is just how we like it: thin and crispy dough. The Sicilian Primitivo our tastes. We are thrilled!

Today we visit again the Hotel Greulich . How magical it draws us into the cozy fireplace room that is reserved specifically for cigar smokers. The fire has been lit a cozy fire. Our cigars are quickly unpacked and set on fire. Sigi (photo), a thick smoke from Nicaragua.



Pascal tried for the first time a San Cristobal del la Habano El Morro tscheiar and smokes a Bolivar Coronas Gigantes . The San Cristóbal is a perfect opportunity for cigar smokers. Your kindness Pascal unchallenged, however. He will choose the next time a more spicy Havana. I can recommend him my best Bolivar: a very spicy and full-bodied cigar with a regular fire, which has never disappointed me. On this photo we see tscheiar with fire, Bolivar and a Herman-Greulich-biography.

Not
we are also disappointed by the new bar staff. Unlike our first visit we get a perfect mojito. And because it tastes so good to us, we order a second. Before we leave the hotel Greulich, we visit the bar or the inconspicuous Videoinstellation of Pipilotti Rist: "The yellow fairy in the alley." But after two mojitos we tend to see a green fairy ...

Can Horse Have Fishmox

smoking in the Hemingway Bar

beginning of this year knows France a strict ban on smoking in the restaurant industry. The legendary Hemingway Bar at the Ritz was until now the meeting place for cigar-lovers of Paris. On my last visit in Spring 2007 was on every table big cigar ashtray. The chief bartender Colin Peter Field offers on its menu of special drinks for cigar smokers. I wanted to know from him whether in the Hemingway Bar, smoking still allowed. The new law would allow strictly separated and unattended Fumoir. Here is the reply from Colin Peter Field at me:

"Unfortunately, smoking in the Hemingway Bar, and in every other bar was illegal in France. Of course we regret it very much, but we console ourselves with the thought that we might now allow many people who might previously not the smoky ambience of the bar, a visit with us. " *

Compared to the Herald Tribune said Colin Peter Field: take "We do not party. The bar will continue to sell 40 to 50 different exquisite cigars and makes plans to make available from spring seats outside for smokers "in the New York Times added Mr.Field.
.
"If you've hung up, you will not drown too." **
.
* Unfortunately smoking in the Hemingway bar or any other bar in France has been banned by French law. This is of course very upsetting to us but we console ourselves with the idea that perhaps a lot of people that did not enjoy the smoky ambience of the bar will now have an opportunity to visit us.
** „We are not taking sides. The bar will continue to sell from 40 to 50 different types of vintage cigars, and is studying plans to renovate its outdoor spaces to accommodate smokers when spring comes.“ Herald Tribune
„Once you’ve hung yourself, you’re not going to drown yourself as well.“ The New York Times
