Tyrol jest regionem geograficznym położonym w zachodniej Austrii i północnych Włoszech. W Austrii jest to główny region turystyczny pełen uzdrowisk oraz ośrodków sportów zimowych. Stolicą Tyrolu jest Innsbruck. Jest to miasto położone na wysokości niemal 550 m n.p.m. nad rzeką Inn. Niedaleko stąd do słynnej przełęczy Brenner, przez którą przebiega autostrada do Włoch. Innsbruck to bez wątpienia jedna z zimowych stolic Europy. Właśnie tutaj w 1964 roku i 12 lat później zorganizowano Igrzyska Olimpijskie. W mieście warto zobaczyć zamek cesarski Hofburg. Obiekt został zbudowany w XIV wieku i pełnił funkcję rezydencyjną. Jest tu również „Goldenes Dahl"- złoty dach. Jest to jedna z najlepiej zachowanych kamieniczek w całej Austrii. Dziś w miejscu tym znajduje się Muzeum Olimpijskie. Warto przypatrzeć się prześlicznej kamienicy bo robi naprawdę ogromne wrażenie. Innsbruck to wspaniała baza wypadowa w góry. Miejsce wyjątkowe. Śliczne pensjonaty położone nad Innem. Urzekające krajobrazy dookoła nas. Warto tu przysiąść w któreś z knajpek przy Goldenes Dahl i oddać się przyglądaniu albo podglądaniu ulicznego życia w niezwykle zadbanym Innsbrucku.

A movement, on the other hand, is based on a way of life, not a singular product, and thus exists on more than one plane. Movements are rare, authentic, and grow more slowly and sustainably. This could be the hippie, punk, or preppy movements or lifestyles, for example.

First seen on the streets of Berlin, there is a new movement aptly named "New Tyroleans" by the Future Laboratory in London. It is born from the current generation of German twenty and thirtysomethings who identified with the simpler and more authentic lifestyle of the Alpine region in Austria, Switzerland, Northern Italy, and parts of Bavaria. The Future Lab claims they were "suffocated by "patriarchal values and political conservatism" and rebelled through adopting this culture.

I classify this as a growing and appealing lifestyle do to its diverse manifestations within modern life.

Food: Perhaps the most obvious presence of New Tyrolean-ism is in the food that is becoming increasingly popular in Berlin and other cities. It is creating lighter and slightly updated versions of traditional classics like fried perch, beef consummé, spätzli, and Apple strudel. Restaurants like Alpenstück, in Berlin on Gartenstrasse, have excelled in this cuisine offering a satisfyingly traditional, but healthy and uplifting offering. Another great example is Meierei on Kollwitzstrasse (especially for breakfast).

Interior: Interiors are typically shades of grey and creme with a heavy reliance on natural materials. The following picture is previously mentioned Alpenstück.

Apparel: New Tyrolean-ism in apparel is characterized by close attention to texture, weight, and color. Typically these colder regions require clothes with significant heft (sweaters, boots, scarves, coats) so the influence is shown through heavy and woolen materials and natural fibers that are typical here. Colors are also based on natural and muted tones. Far from "earth tones", they are heavily saturated but rich with darker shades or many times gradient tones of the same color family.

Leisure Time: New Tyroleans appreciate nature both inside and outside. Bars like No Kangaroo in Berlin who advertise themselves as offering "genuine Austrian specialties in a typical alpine ambiance. The atmosphere is best described as a cross between a Viennese café and a Salzburg après ski hut - an ideal gathering place for families, groups of friends and, of course, those who love the Austrian culture and lifestyle." New Tyroleans ski, hike, go for walks, and enjoy drinking beer, wine, and schnapps.

Commercial Appeal: This movement should be interesting for retailers and advertisers due for two reasons. First those who are joining the movement are an exceptional crowd. Typically quite worldly, educated, and willing to invest in products and activities that are genuinely rewarding. This a young and hip group of spenders and the will see the eventual products that they identify with- it is not about pro-actively seeking New Tyroleans, the key is to reassure them that you understand the importance they place on quality, and timelessness. Secondly, New Tyroleans are passionate about their lifestyle. As stated above, the know who they are and what they like, and are keen to be as authentic about it as possible.

(Wien, im August 2008) Heidi Schnitzer will David Caruso (nun töten). Oder doch nicht?

Will die anglophile Innsbruckerin, Mutter von zwei Kindern, nur ein Autogramm? Will sie den amerikanischen
Film-Star David Caruso (CSI Ermittler Horatio Cane) heiraten? Mit ihm durchbrennen? Will Sie ihn umbringen? Es ist alles unklar, die Sache sehr verwirrend.

Offenes Verfahren am LG Innsbruck

Klar ist nur: Am Landesgericht Innsbruck ist ein Verfahren nach "Gefährliche Drohung" und "Stalking" gegen die 40-jährige Heidemarie (Heidi) Schnitzer anhängig. Mehrere Termine waren angesetzt. Sie ließ alle platzen. Nun zog es sie in die Ferne.

Dem Vernehmen nach brach sie wie eine schnelle Maus nach Mexiko (!) auf, ließ ihre beiden Kinder in Tirol zurück und tauchte ab. Seither wird sie mit internationalem Haftbefehl gesucht. Eine lokale Gruppe des FBI sucht sie auch.

Die Anzeige stammt aus den USA. Dann gab es über den Weg der Rechtshilfe in Österreich Ermittlungen durch das Wiener Bundeskriminalamt (BK). Dann in ihrem politischen Bezirk Innsbruck eine Anklageerhebung.
Das alles ist Frau Schnitzer egal.

2006 David Caruso getroffen - Avancen gemacht

Glaubt man den Publikationen, die zirkulieren, traf Heidi Schnitzer 2006 auf David Caruso. In der Folge schrieb sie ihm rund 100 Briefe und Emails. Dann begann etwas, was man "Celebrity-Stalking" nennt. Der Welt-Star (TV-Cop in NYPD-Blue, erste Staffel und CSI-Miami) und sein weiblicher Fan treffen hart aufeinander.

Denn der Fan kennt den Star in- und auswendig, der Star den Fan aber gar nicht. Das ging eine Weile gut. Caruso beantwortete keine Emails und Briefe. Dann kam ein histrionisches Element verbunden mit Hartnäckigkeit dazu. Dann das Internet und seine inoffiziellen und offiziellen Caruso-Fanforen.
Überall mischte Schnitzer unter zahlreichen Nicknamen an vorderster Front mit.

Nur eines gelang ihr nicht: Ein Autogramm, einen unterschriebenen Brief für den Tabernakel in der Tiroler Stube zu bekommen. Auch ein neues Treffen mit ihrem Ultimo-Star blieb aus. Dann wurde der Ton ruppiger.

Raue Töne

2008: Ein Brief zirkuliert aktuell im Internet, maschingeschrieben, angeblich von Heidi Schnitzer, gerichtet an David Caruso. "Blaulicht und Graulicht" übernimmt keine Verantwortung über die Authentizität, da wir nicht das Bundeskriminalamt sind. Der Brief (Screenshot unten) wurde partout von einer Frau namens "Sara Kanne" im Internet lanciert, die sich als "Schnitzer-Expertin" ausgibt und auffälligerweise wie keine andere die Ereignisse der letzten fünf Monate in ihrem Weblog Revue passieren läßt ("The Stalker Chronicles").

Ein amerikanischer Celebrity-Experte aus Kansas City namens Aaron Barnhart, der eine sachkundige und solide Celebs-Website betreibt, geht davon aus, dass es sich bei "Sara Kanne" um eine sehr gut informierte Person handelt, die die Ereignisse minutiös dokumentiert.

Es gehen jedoch auch Gerüchte, dass es sich bei "Sara Kanne" um "Heidi Schnitzer" handelt.

Anti-Schnitzer-Seite von FBI, Detektei, Caruso-Management oder - Schnitzer herself?

Es gibt auch weitere Denkvarianten, die "Blaulicht und Graulicht" anstellt: Es ist möglich, dass die Webseite http://thestalkerchronicles.blogspot.com/ im Auftrag der amerikanischen Polizei "unter Legende" erstellt wurde, um die Ereignisse öffentlich präzise zu dokumentieren. Denkvarianten zwei und drei sind: Die
Webseite, die sich ausschließlich mit Heidi Schnitzer in englischer Sprache beschäftigt, wurde im Auftrag des Managements von David Caruso erstellt, um Trittbrettfahrer abzuschrecken. Oder es arbeitet eine Detektei mit, die Heidi Schnitzer mit Hilfe des Internets "stalkt" und sie sohin mit ihren eigenen Waffen erlegen will. Sie soll damit "beschäftigt" und dazu verleitet werden, Fehler zu begehen.

Die letzte, immermögliche Variante: Heidi Schnitzer ist so von David Caruso besessen, dass sie eine gnadenlose Anti-Schnitzer-Webseite selbst ins Leben rief, um zu demonstrieren, dass mit ihr nicht
zu spaßen ist.

Mexiko ist mit Österreich befreundet

Mexiko ist ein befreundetes Land zu Österreich. Schnitzer weiß das vermutlich: Mexiko hat als einziges Land
den Hitler-Anschluss Österreichs an Deutschland am 12. März 1938 offiziell abgelehnt. Heute erinnert der "Mexikoplatz" in Wien mit einem Gedenkstein an diese politische Großtat.

In Mexiko sind schon größere Gauner, vor allem amerikanische, untergetaucht. Das Landesgericht Innsbruck wird sich in dieser "weltumspannenden Causa" wohl noch etwas gedulden müssen. Und kann noch viele CSI-Folgen gucken, bis Heidi Schnitzer vor Gericht erscheint.

+++

Unter diesen Nicknames soll Heidi aus den Tiroler Bergen in diversesten Foren ihr Fachwissen zu David Caruso posten: "Vixen", "Dixiebabe" (IMDb.com), "Horatiolover" (TVGuide.com), "SouthernBelle98" (TVGuide.com), "Anonymous", "Cole", "Karen Spelling", "QB2die4" (Zimbio), "DavidCaruso" (Zimbio), "DiamondsandHearts" (Zimbio), "Mermaid7" (Digg), "StealthQueen" (Digg), "KillerQueen2" (Digg),

Tim Moore takes the scenic route with his llama chum in the Tyrol

Why stroll through Austria's Tyrol region alone or with a friend when you can hire a llama for company? Sounds silly, but it's a tourist micro-industry there now. You can hire a llama for around 400 EU for three days.

Tim Moore gives us a bit of insight into his Tyrol trek with a llama.

The Eagle Way is a 1,480km trail through some of Europe's most heart-stoppingly glorious scenery: distant clutches of chalets and spires engulfed by manicured, velvety meadows, verdant hillsides veined with tumbling glacial brooks and iridescent bursts of midsummer Alpine flora. And above it all a rearing backdrop of jagged, piebald peaks, among them Austria's highest, the mighty Grossglockner. The sky was huge and blue, the air as crisp as apple strudel; it could not have been more Sound of Music. High on the hill with a lonely Guy-herd.

Up beyond the treeline we trekked into a suddenly desolate realm of scree and lichen, the rarefied air making every uphill step seem a little steeper. After three hours we spied our goal, at 2,642m, the mountain-pass hostel at Glorer. We toasted our arrival with a slug of schnapps, tethered the llamas, and enjoyed our first brush with the strange celebrity status bestowed upon those who accompany large animals in public. Two French families ran out of the hut in a state of gleeful enchantment, petted the llamas, quizzed their drovers, and manically photographed both species together and separately.

• Swarovski Crystal:  If there is one thing that Austria is famous for...it has to be crystal.  The highly prized Swarovski Crystal is the perfect place to pick up a special wedding or anniversary gift for yourself or someone else.  At the very heart of Tyrol Austria in the marketplace, the Swarovski Crystal factory near your vacation home in Tyrol Austria has been the benchmark for excellence in crystal for over 100 years.
• The Golden Roof (Goldenes Dachl): Although this is one of the most interesting places to visit in Tyrol, it is only really a small balcony in Innsbrucks marketplace in the historic district.  This is the balcony especially decorated with gold plated copper to honor the marriage of Maximilian I and his wife. Worth seeing on your way by, but the adventures of the marketplace are much more exciting and give you the perfect opportunity from some souvenir shopping while at  your vacation holiday home in Tyrol Austria.
• Triumphal Arch (Triumphpforte):  Visible from almost every point around your vacation rental home in Tyrol Austria, this incredible Triumphal Arch is a celebration of life and death!  Built to commemorate the marriage of Leopold to Maria Ludovica, the scrollwork on one side is in beautiful stone work with happy images.  However, on the other side, the images are of sadness due to the death of Francis I in Austria.
• Bruck Castle (Schloss Bruck) and Museum of East Tyrol (Osttiroler Heimatmuseum):  This beautiful castle stands close to vacation rental homes in Tyrol Austria as a testament of the lovely Austrian architecture set in the countryside.  Looking over the sprawling quaint town of Tyrol, Bruck Castle and Museum marks the history and evolution of Tyrol through times of peace and war.
• St. Andra (Church of St. Andrew): Only a short trip from vacations rental in Tyrol, the peaceful serenity of Tyrol Austria is reflected in St. Andra.  A stroll through the old cemetery gives a historical perspective and timeline of existence visible in the old graveyard and stone church.

Από σήμερα (4/7) μέχρι τις 17/7 το blog θα παραμείνει κάπως αδρανές, επειδή φεύγω με το κλιμάκιο της εθνικής ομάδας αλπικού σκι στην Αυστρία και συγκεκριμένα στο Hintertux για προπόνηση. Μπορεί να υπάρξουν μερικά posts αλλά όχι συχνά. Το σίγουρο είναι ότι θα υπάρξουν πολλές φωτογραφίες στο Flickr μου. Τα άλλα networks που είμαι μέλος μάλλον και αυτά θα μείνουν κάπως αδρανοποιημένα. Συμπεριλαμβανομένου του Twitter. Μπορείτε όμως να με βρείτε στο e-mail σίγουρα για αυτό το χρονικό διάστημα. Ευχαριστώ.

============

From today (4/7) until 17/7 the blog will remain a bit "hibernated", because I am going with the greek national alpine ski team to Hintertux, Austria for summer training. There's a possibility to write a few posts but not so sure and often. The defacto way of communication these coming days will be Flickr, in which I will post lots of photos from Hintertux and the trip, so stay tuned. Other social networks will remain "hibernated" too. Including Twitter. You can, however, contact me at my e-mail which I will answer for sure in the upcoming days. Thank you.

Anyway, μπορείτε να με βρείτε -πια- και στο Flickr.

Wenn man so durchs Netz "googlet" bewegt sich was..... seht selbst:

Innsbruck es una ciudad del oeste de Austria, capital del estado de Tirol. Está localizada en el valle del Inn, en medio de altas montañas, el Nordkette (Hafelekar, 2.334 msnm) al norte, Patscherkofel (2.246 msnm) y Nockspitze (2.403 msnm) al sur, de fama internacional por la practica de deportes invernales.

Historia
Los primeros documentos referidos a Innsbruck datan del año 1187 ("Insprucke"). La misma servía como un importante punto de cruce del Río Inn. Entonces, la ruta a través del Passo del Brennero fue el mayor vínculo de transporte y comunicaciones entre el norte y el sur y el camino más sencillo para atravesar los Alpes. La ciudad generaba ingresos ya que se convirtió en un lugar de paso, lo que produjo un desarrollo para la prosperidad de la misma.

Still watching it what a series.

Wine glass design entails a tulip-shaped design, having three essential components: the base, the stem which allows one to grip it, and a body which holds the wine. e.g. Riedel crystal wine glasses. Red wine glasses, such as the Riedel crystal wine glasses are characterized by their rounder, wider bowl. The wider bowl also enables the wine to cool much quicker after it has been warmed by body heat. Their types are:

Riedel White wine glasses are narrower and have straight or tulip-shaped sides. The narrowness of white wine glasses helps retain the wine's temperature. Perhaps the most popular secret about splendid wine experiences is to enjoy the aroma. Much of the taste is determined by smell, is now a well established scientific fact. Unlike Riedel wine glasses, Silhouette's crystal barware collection is the only one in the world that addresses the senses of smell, touch, see, hear, and taste to the last swallow.

Riedel Red or white, bold or light, Silhouette is the only wine glass you need to accommodate all types of wine. Be one of the select few to own a Silhouette and be an early adapter to this revolution in glassware. The unique rim design forces proper care as storing crystal stemware inverted damages the rim.

Guaranteed to give you the ultimate wine drinking multi-sensory enjoyment, Riedel's wine glasses perform since they have been produced only after meticulous research as well as trial and error.

The first Riedel in the trade of luxury glass goods was Johann Christoph Riedel, born in 1678. He journeyed all over Europe trading glass, travelling as far as Spain and Portugal. The earnings from the business justified the long, arduous and dangerous travels. The 9th generation, Claus J. Riedel (born 1925) had a vision. He changed stemware from traditional coloured and cut glass to plain, unadorned, thin blown, long stemmed wine glasses. He gained immediate recognition from sophisticated customers and museums. Many design awards signalled that a new era had began. Museums bought pieces for their exhibition, like the Museum of Modern Art in New York, which today still has Riedel in their permanent collection.

Based on his unique designs, Claus Riedel was first in history to recognize the effect of shapes on the perception of alcoholic beverages. His work has influenced and changed the appearance of stemware forever. His master piece "Sommeliers" was introduced in Orvieto, 30 years ago, the first ever stemware line to be based on the character of wine. Please purchase on online http://www.etabletop.com/

A única parte que eu achei interessante na briga toda foi o discurso do Baltar no final. "Vocês são perfeitos", "Deus te ama como você é". Deus deixa de ser o cara do mau (Velho Testamento?) e vira um cara que te ama apesar dos seus defeitos. Um paralelo interessante. Pena que eu tive que aturar meia hora de inutilidades e destruição de imagens de deuses de mentirinha para chegar nisso.

De resto, um episódio para encher lingüiça. O único ponto alto foi a discussão do Tyrol com o Adama. Sensacional o desabafo dele. E que abre duas perguntas importantes, que eu não tinha pensado antes. Se ele ainda é apaixonado pela Boomer (o que o discurso deixa claro) e ele é um cylon, tecnicamente nada impede que eles fiquem juntos. E isso pode desequilibrar a balança. O Chief é fiel aos humanos, por sua família e seu trabalho. Agora, a Cally se foi, o Nicky virou uma possibilidade assustadora e ele foi banido do deck. Pergunta número 1: se ela estiver em jogo, o que ele vai fazer? Número 2: o que ELA vai fazer quando descobrir que ele é um cylon? Vai se entregar ao cara que ela realmente gostava ou vai ficar amarga e jogar na cara: "quando eu descobri e disse que não sabia, você não ficou do meu lado"? É, amigo, o mundo dá voltas, mesmo quando ele foi explodido em milhões de pedacinhos.

Não entendo as críticas ao Lee. Tá, ele foi bundão na terceira temporada, fato. Mas não está sendo nessa. Ele teve um papel essencial no estabelecimento das liberdades democráticas e eu juro que não entendo porque tem gente caindo matando nele. Achavam que a Roslin tava certa, é isso?

Enfim, um episódio mediano, sem "velocidade" nenhuma. Vamos esperar a semana que vem.

Por MJ

Obviously, Starbuck is too obvious.  And I think she actually has another role, although I've not quite worked out the role myself - a messenger maybe.

And I think I read somewhere that the producers said it definitely wasn't Roslin, Baltar, or Bill or Lee Adama.  So where does that leave us?

Knowing what we do about the four among the crew - Tigh, Anders, Tory and Tyrol - I think it's clear that the Final 5 are very different from the other Cylons.  What exactly that difference is, I'm not sure.  I've even speculated that they were from Earth.

But knowing how similar the Final 5 are to the rest of the survivors and how long they've been integrated with the colonists (Tigh has been friends with Adama for more than 40 years), I've had trouble picking up any clues as to the identity of the last Cylon.  That is, until this last episode.

In "Ties that Bind," Cally, Tyrol's wife, suddenly became a suspect for me for two main reasons.  Let me explain why.

The four revealed in "Crossroads" all became aware of their Cylon status when they entered the nebula.  Clearly that nebula has had an effect on Cally too.  She said her insomnia started when they entered the nebula.  But unlike the others she turned to pills to help with the symptoms.  Could the pills have prevented her from hearing the music?  Or as the last model, could she simply be so different that the music didn't affect her?  If the final Cylon is on Galactica, why else would they not have responded to the music when in the nebula like the others?

Then there's baby Nicky.  A great deal was made about Hera - a child born to one Cylon parent and one human parent.  Hera is considered the chosen one.  But what about Nicky?  If Tyrol is really a Cylon and Cally a human, wouldn't Nicky be some miracle baby too?

In everything I've read the producers have been especially evasive in acknowledging Nicky as a half human, half Cylon.  Could that be because he really is a full Cylon?

At first I thought the difference between Hera and Nicky was that one had a Cylon mother and the other a Cylon father?  Or the fact that Tyrol was a different type of Cylon that Athena could be the difference. But if Nicky has two Cylon parents that explains a lot.

The one think that troubled me about this theory is why would Tory kill a fellow Cylon.  But clearly the other four Cylons aboard Galactica don't know who the final Cylon is, so it's possible that Tory didn't recognize Cally as a fellow Cylon.  The other four didn't recognize each other's status until the nebula.  And we also know that Cylons are above attacking each other.

But the big question is what has become of Cally.  Is she really dead?  Do the Final 5 regenerate like the other Cylons?  If so, how?  They clearly don't have a resurrection ship nearby which is pretty risky in and of itself.

And that leaves me with one final question (or at least one that I'll ask here).  How many copies of the Final 5 are there?  Is there only one?  Could that be what's different about them?  Or are there more copies?  If so, where are those copies?  Earth?

So tell me, do you think Cally could be the final Cylon?  Or are the clues I'm reading misdirection?  If not Cally, who do you think is the final Cylon?

Are the Final 5 Cylons from Earth?

Six of One

Achei bacana, embora meio parado. Particularmente, não gosto dos episódios que focam muito nos cylons. Em geral, acho que a história fica mais interessante quando o vilão é mais misterioso. Tipo o primeiro "Alien", que dava muito mais medo porque a gente não via o monstro. Depois ficou bobo.

Lembro da cena do "33" em que a Cally pergunta "mas por que eles atacam de 33 em 33 minutos? Por que não 32 ou 34?". Esse mistério foi uma das grandes graças da primeira temporada e ficar sabendo do que acontece dentro das naves lá, para mim, só tira a graça e dá sono.

A presidente está cada dia mais com a cara da Regina Duarte e me irrita profundamente. Mas a cena dela perdendo o cabelo foi tocante. Mary MacDowell sabe o que faz. A cena da Starbuck falando "mas que po**a, todo mundo tem que acreditar nas suas visões porque você é especial, mas você não acredita na dos outros?" foi o resumo do meu sentimento em relação à Roslin.

A Katee tá dando um show nesta temporada. Embora algumas pessoas digam que a Kara está "mimada", eu discordo. Ela está desesperada, enlouquecida e a atriz mostra muito bem isso. Além de tudo, a cena com o Lee foi a coisa mais fofa, linda, doce e meiga que eu já assisti em muito tempo. Amor. (L)

A cena da despedida do Lee me fez chorar. Não, não precisa de muito para me fazer chorar, mas tudo bem.

Grande alegria do episódio: NUNCA MAIS LEE E DEE! Ufa! Chega desse casamento de conveniência por ambas as partes! E "Lee e Dee" é FODA!

The ties that bind

Meu episódio favorito até agora nesta temporada. Achei sombrio, diferente e corajoso. E, tchau, tchau, Cally a personagem mais irritante desde Jar Jar Binks. Os gritinhos dela me matam. Sensacional o momento em que ela se liga que o Tyrol é um cylon. Ha, aposto que você queria que ele estivesse tendo um caso agora, hein?? hahahaha

A nave da Starbuck tá sensacional. A caracterização dos personagens, a falta de iluminação, tudo deixa uma sensação de claustrofobia e falta de rumo. Não gostei da cena em que ela manda o Anders transar com ela. Primeiro, porque foi logo depois dela finalmente admitir que o casamento com ele era uma piada e a coisa toda pareceu inconsistente. Segundo porque é um comportamento típico da "velha" Starbuck, pré-Maelstrom, e eu realmente achei que ela tinha mudado (pra melhor ou pior, não sei, mas mudado).

Não entendi por que mandaram a Sharon na nave (além do fato de ela ser casada com o Helo). Tipo, por mais que eles confiem nela, ela tenha se provado, yadda yadda, ela é a ÚNICA que todo mundo tem certeza de que é cylon. Se você tem duas apostas para achar a Terra, vai garantir que tenha cylons nas duas? Pelo mesmo motivo, não entendi porque o Anders se voluntariou (além do fato de ele ser casado com a Kara). Ele não estava todo apavorado de mudar de lado sem querer, devido à programação? Vai brincar de procurar a Terra e arriscar levar os cylons para lá? Sei lá, não gostei.

A-do-rei a Tory. Personagem intrigante. A única dos quatro que está de fato pendendo para o "lado negro".

Enfim, é isso. Vou tentar não ver spoilers para o próximo episódio.

Especialistas Forenses são realmente necessários em Innsbruck, cidade da Austria.

Principalmente se for para encontrar uma mulher que não apareceu em seu julgamente por perseguir um dos membros do elenco de CSI: Miami, David Caruso.

Não está entendendo nada, certo? Vou tentar explicar...

De acordo com authoridades, uma mulher de 41 anos, da região de Tyrol (conhecida pela famosa e folclórica canção tirolesa dos alpes - aquele iolulei dos infernos que as camponesas austríacas cantam) é suspeita de ter enviado mais de 100 cartas a Caruso, incluindo ameaças de morte por não ter lhe dado um autógrafo - até aqui eu totalmente a entendo!!! rs

A loucura é confirmada por trechos revelados das tais cartas, como "Eu vou achar você e essa sua vagabundinha latina horrorosa, e vou matá-los." Ninguém sabe ainda quem é a tal "vagabunda" em questão. Palpite: já consideraram a atriz Alana De La Garza, que interpretou a esposa de Caruso no seriado???

Se for ela, não paramos por aí. O pior de todos os problemas está por vir. É que a tal personagem já bateu as botas na história!!! Ela foi assassinada por traficantes. Será que foi a mando da tirolesa maluca?

Como disse, a suspeita não apareceu no tribunal nesta quarta-feira. Também não é a primeira vez que ela deixa de comparecer a seu próprio julgamento. Em julho de 2007 ela deixou todos os presentes da corte esperando.

Um exame psiquiátrico realizado a pedido de um juiz diagnostificou que a tal suspeita tem uma "profunda desordem de personalidade." - Pois se ela não tivesse, eu é que teria!!!

Será que "a perseguidora de CSI: Innsbruck" (como ela tem sido chamada pela mídia local austríaca) deve preocupar a cabeça de Caruso, ou dos fãs de CSI? Ou somente render boas risadas?

Riedel's Vinum Prestige Cuvee/Champagne Glass line was the first machine-made series of glasses in history to be based exclusively on the characteristics of quality and price. These glasses Will prove to you that the pleasure of consuming wine starts with the glass. Georg Riedel's crystal allows each wine’s finest elements to be highlighted by the glass. "Vinum" was the first machine-made series of glasses in history to be based exclusively on the characteristics of grape varietels. This glass highlights the rich fruit and sweetness characteristic of port.

Based on the benchmark shapes of the Riedel Vinum, the shape of the tumbler and the size and diameter of the rim have been fine-tuned to enhance the flavors of red or white wine. The sophisticated 'O' tumbler feels good to hold and is the ideal glass for everyday use. Set of two. Claus Riedel was the first person in the long history of the glass to design its shape according to the character of the wine. He is thus the inventor of the functional wine glass.

Perfect for young, full-bodied, complex red wines that are high in tannin. This Riedel glass smoothes out the rough edges, emphasizing the fruit, allowing wines to achieve a balance that would normally take years of ageing to acquire. The generous size of this glass allows the bouquet to develop fully. The shape directs the flow of wine onto the zone of the tongue which perceives sweetness, thus accentuating the fruit and de-emphasizing the bitter qualities of the tannin.

Who's the final cylon?  What happened to Starbuck?  Does she really know the way to Earth?  What is with Baltar's harem?  Is the prophecy about Hera (Agathon and Helo's baby) or Nicky (Tyrol and Cally's baby)?

These are all questions fans everywhere are puzzling about.  But in a recent interview with ComicMix, Verheiden is mum on the answers to these hot questions.  The only thing Verheider will say is "As to what it all means, again, I preach the mantra of patience..."

But he is willing to talk about eyes, or more specifically the right eye:

"If there's a single moment that I really like in that "gave me a little chill" way, it's the red light from the raider scanning Anders' eyeball."

For those of you not paying attention that was Anders' right eye.  And after scanning it, the Cylons disengaged and left.

Verheider promises that we'll learn more about it next week.  But could a scene before it hold a clue.

Moments before the recently self-identified cylon Sam Anders went face to face - or eye-to-eye - with the toaster-version of the cylons, his fellow recently identified cylon Colonel Tigh had a hallucination on the bridge.

In his dream sequence, the one-eye Tigh shoots Admiral Adama in his right eye - the very same eye Tigh is missing as a result of the cylons on New Caprica.

About this Verheider quotes writer David Weddle:

"I was waiting for someone to pick up on that telling detail. Congratulations. But I am disappointed you have not figured out its significance within the larger mythology of the show. It's all laid out for you. All you have to do is run the episode over again in slow motion, and the deeper truth will be revealed."

Well they say the eyes are the windows to the soul.  Can they be the window to the secret of BSG?

Check out the screen shots from that sequence above.  What do you see?

Maybe I'm reaching, but in Adama's glasses I see the reflection of the board behind Tigh.  With the hole that bullet left, I think his eye looks like the Eye of Jupiter.

I've read on some boards (I can't remember where, sorry) that the Canadian version was bloodier that the Sci Fi version of the episode so I'm not sure if that makes a difference in the image.

If that is the Eye of Jupiter, what does it mean?  Why did Tigh shoot the right eye?  Why did the cylons scan Anders right eye?  Is there a connection between these two events?

Could Tigh have used his hallucination to send some kind of warning to the toaster cylons through Sam's eye?
