'In making this selection,'' writes William Cookson in his introduction to this paperbook edition of early and out-of-print writings, ''my aim has been to show the unity of Ezra Pound's concerns.'' The sixty-six pieces in Pound's Selected Prose 1909-1965 are arranged thematically, and while they are organized chronologically within several groupings, there are natural cross-currents of thoughts among them. Particular emphasis, however, is given to the articles concerned with ''Civilisation, Money and History.'' This section contains such essential texts as the "ABC of Economics" and "What Is Money For?" as well as two essays––"Gold and Work" and ''A Visiting Card"––translated from Pound's Italian and never before published in English in their entirety. Much space is devoted, too, to Pound's evaluation of his native America, its history, culture, and economy, and his 1913 essay, ''Patria Mia,'' is reprinted.

BRUSH as a Walkthrough System for Architectural Models

- … show all 5 hide
Brush provides an interactive environment for the real-time visualization and inspection of very large mechanical and architectural CAD databases. It supports immersive and non-immersive virtual reality walkthrough applications (for example, when validating or demonstrating to a customer an architectural concept) and detailed design reviews of complex mechanical assemblies such as engines, plants, airplanes, or ships.
Brush achieves interactive response times by selecting from multiple-resolution representations for each object, computed automatically by simplifying the original data. Simplified models reduce the cost of displaying small details that do not significantly affect the image, allowing navigation through models comprising hundreds of thousands of triangles.
A natural gesture-driven interface allows mouse or space-ball control of the camera for intuitive walkthrough in architectural scenes. Simple facilities for editing and sequencing camera positions along with automatic animation of camera trajectories between key-frames enable the construction, demonstration, and archive of pre-programmed walkthrough sequences.

It emphasizes simple pleasures and warm, positive images of idyllic cottages, lighthouses and colorful gardens."He had a rare ability to exude a sense of warmth, a transcendent light," said Robert Goodwin, who wrote the book "Points of Light: A Celebration of the American Spirit of Giving," with Kinkade."He had a great commitment to inspire others -- one who was nurtured in his early life by family and friends and church to really be an example of selfless acts of service," he said Saturday."My mission as an artist is to capture those special moments in life adorned with beauty and light," Kinkade said in a message on his website. "I work to create images that project a serene simplicity that can be appreciated and enjoyed by everyone. That's what I mean by sharing the light."In 2006, the artist recalled one of his earliest lessons during an interview with CNN's Larry King."When I was a young boy, my mother told me, 'Your talents are God's gifts to you, and what you do with those talents are your gift to God,'" he said.More from showbizWhat to look forward to in 2015The sexiest night on TVWhy we're obsessed with spiesPowered by Livefyre

[video] Quick Take: Gold Prices Flat as Fed Convenes
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- The Federal Reserve began its two-day Federal Open Market Committee meeting on Tuesday. Mahir Dange, an options trader at Grafite Capital, told TheStreet's Joe Deaux it's hard to tell what the Fed will do in terms of tapering its bond purchases.
So many investors had expected the central bank to begin doing so in September, which didn't happen, Dange said. Recent economic data and government shutdown forced the Fed to postpone any tapering. The question now remains, when will it begin?
Dange said based on what he sees in the options market, there will not be any changes to the asset purchasing plan following the current meeting. If this proves true, the yellow metal should rally but will likely be met with resistance in the $1,400 to $1,425 level. Gold has remained rangebound for the past several months, he said.
As to when he thinks tapering will begin, the first quarter of 2014 seems to be most likely. If that's correct, he said gold could break out of its current range and form a new one, with support near $1,350 and resistance at $1,550, the level at which gold initially broke down from earlier this year.

Bieber did not mention it to his millions of followers on Twitter and Facebook.The controversy stems from the 19-year-old's visit to the Anne Frank House in Amsterdam, Netherlands, on Friday.In the site's guest book, he wrote, "Truly inspiring to be able to come here. Anne was a great girl. Hopefully she would have been a belieber." The tourist site shared the message on its official Facebook page.Adolescent and teen girls obsessed with the Canadian singer are known as "beliebers."Anne Frank died a teenager in a Nazi concentration camp in 1945.Thousands of people responded angrily to what Bieber wrote.Just WatchedHere's what Bieber wrote at Frank housereplayMore Videos ...Here's what Bieber wrote at Frank house 00:57PLAY VIDEOJust WatchedWhy is Justin Bieber going bad?replayMore Videos ...Why is Justin Bieber going bad? 01:19PLAY VIDEOJust WatchedMom: Bieber 'not just a story to me'replayMore Videos ...Mom: Bieber 'not just a story to me' 02:13PLAY VIDEOJust WatchedJustin Bieber's monkey seized in GermanyreplayMore Videos ...Justin Bieber's monkey seized in Germany 02:19PLAY VIDEO"She would've been a WHAT? That little idiot is way too full of himself," Kevin Garcia Leon wrote in the most popular comment on the site's Facebook page. On CNN.com, the most popular comment read, "Can anyone be more self-obsessed?"Rabbi defends BieberAn expert on Anne Frank came to Bieber's defense Monday.Had Frank been born 70 years later, she would have likely been a "belieber," said Rabbi Marvin Hier, founder and dean of the Simon Weisenthal Center in Los Angeles."There's nothing insulting about that," Rabbi Hier told CNN. "She was very modern and she could very likely be his fan and on Twitter."Hier has studied Frank's life and journal closely in preparation for the creation of a permanent exhibit at his center's Museum of Tolerance in Beverly Hills."Anne Frank was a very modern girl," he said. "In the room, she had pictures of Hollywood stars. She was infatuated with Hollywood."Anne Frank hid with her family in the "secret annex" of an Amsterdam house for two years before she was captured by Nazis in 1944. She died a teenager in a Nazi concentration camp in 1945.The site, a popular tourist attraction among visitors to Amsterdam, expressed no complaints about Bieber."The Anne Frank House was pleased to welcome Justin Bieber to the Anne Frank House last Friday," an official Facebook post said Monday."We think it is very positive that he took the time and effort to visit our museum. He was very interested in the story of Anne Frank and stayed for over an hour. We hope that his visit will inspire his fans to learn more about her life and hopefully read the diary."The comments under the statement suggested it did little to calm those who were infuriated. Few questioned whether Anne Frank would have been a Bieber fan, were she a teenager today. The complaints focused on why Bieber thought about himself at all after being exposed to the seriousness of Anne Frank's experience and the Holocaust."Pity the guy, after making the effort to visit, wasn't grown up enough to have a break from being so self centered and make a comment like that," Steve Landles wrote in the most popular comment on that Facebook post.A 'chill day'Bieber, who is in the middle of a European tour, stopped by the Anne Frank House between his concert in Antwerp, Belgium, and a Saturday performance in Arnhem, Netherlands. He told fans on Twitter it was a "chill day."He visited the house "together with his friends and guards" Friday night, according to the site's official Facebook page, adding that fans "were waiting outside to see a glimpse of him."The Anne Frank House confirmed to CNN that its Facebook post carrying Bieber's message was authentic.While the vast majority of the comments online slammed the pop star, some people expressed support for him.Heather Mirman cited a line from Anne Frank's diary: "Despite everything, I believe people are really good at heart.""I think before everyone goes bashing Justin Bieber we should take a moment to think about these words and why Anne said them," she wrote. " ... He is trying to say that he would've been proud to (have) had her as a fan because of her courage and the fact that she believed in good."Bieber: From tween sensation to adult iconFrank was 13 when she and her family began hiding in a dark and damp "secret annex" of the house to escape the German roundup of Jews in Holland in July 1942.

How much can you learn over 12 weeks? Well hopefully after seeing some student work in yesterday's blog you've realised, quite a lot actually! Learning the tools that create impressive 3D visuals is the hard part. After that, it's a process of applying what you've learnt to more ambitious projects and making sure you push yourself to continue learning.
Making VFX magic in a matter of weeks!
Want to know what can be achieved in just 12 weeks of a VFX for Production course? Take a look at some of the work by the students who graduated last month.
Taking the next step into VFX wizardry!
Before becoming a mighty VFX warrior, you need to become a master of Maya. That is why our VFX courses are designed so you dedicate significant time to mastering the tools inside Maya before taking the next step into more advanced visual effects. And of course, it's only when you know the limitations of any creative tool, that you know how far to push it.
Last Chance to Book! VFX Taster Classes Start Soon...
The one-day VFX taster classes kick off a week on Monday. If this is something you want to participate in, make sure to book your place soon. For anyone considering taking the first step into a career in VFX, this is your chance to get a practical insight into what it's like to study with us.
Compositing Project: Enchanting Rupert
A few weeks back, August 14th, we said our farewells to another class of Compositing graduates, ready to embark on a professional career in VFX. An exciting day for all involved, we had the opportunity to check out their end of course projects. Presented to tutors as well as fellow students, each project got some constructive feedback from the pros on where improvements could be made, and where their talents excelled.
An insight to VFX with escapee Chris Chadwick
If you've not had access to the internet over the last week, (why else wouldn't you be keeping up to date with the hottest VFX blog on the planet?) as well as some highly informative, highly entertaining, VFX related internet titbits, you've missed out on a few smashing success stories.
Do you dream of becoming a VFX artist?
Ever found yourself pondering over a possible career in VFX? We've all had those moments when we've seen some awesome CG visuals and thought 'how did they do that?' The people who created these effects all started out somewhere, and that starting point is usually the time they started learning the tools they needed to get the job done.
Compositing Escapee: Carlos de la Sotilla
Taking the leap from Storyboard Artist to Compositor is no easy feat at the best of time. Well what if I was to tell you that recent escapee, Carlos de la Sotilla, managed it in less than 2 years.
Explosive Dates for your Diary!
Calling all VFX artists! Is it time to take your career to the next level? Learn how to create earth shattering natural disasters, amazing particle flows, beautifully complex dynamic simulations and cataclysmically destructive explosions…without being prosecuted.
A one day VFX taster session!
"Big things have small beginnings", was an idea acknowledged in Ridley Scott's Prometheus, released earlier this year. And for us, this statement couldn't be more true. Taking the art of visual effects as a prime example, the spectacular CG you see on screens today was born from the most basic of concepts, and the people who created those effects invested significant time and energy to become the talented artists they are today. Every creative talent has to start out somewhere, and with the right levels of care and determination, it can evolve into something magnificent.
A-level results 2012: top marks drop for first time in 20 years
The number of students awarded top marks at A-level has dropped for the first time in 20 years, suggesting the biggest decline in A grades since records began according to the Telegraph.
Rock on...another escapee success!
Adam Esat explains, that like many other video games industry professionals, his first source of inspiration came as a child, playing the likes of The Legend of Zelda, Metal Gear Solid and Pokémon.
The Daily Grind
It is a truth universally acknowledged that Escape students possess a unique ability to intake an insanely-high level of caffeine. Some claim it assists their CGI wizardry in the classroom, others argue it's due in part to our breakout space housing the largest cappucino machine ever created by mortal hands.
A New Look for Escape
To mark Escape's 10 year anniversary we decided to give the office a new look. Some of you who have been to our office may remember the funky brown and orange colour scheme gracing our office walls and the old layout of the desks next to our Reception area. Over the past few weeks the Escape office has dramatically changed and now we have a fresh, chic and very cool colour scheme of metallics and white. We've opened up a new area for our main office space and moved the Tech team into their very own area. There are more changes to come - we've got big ideas for the uninhabited space next to the Reception area plus some trendy furniture is arriving from our LA office.
New Relationship Manager at Escape Studios
There have been some exciting changes at Escape Studios recently, and with that we are very pleased to welcome our new Relationship Manager, Anita Gribble. In this role Anita will have two main responsibilities. One is to work closely with post houses up and down the country to continue building on the industry coaching scheme we currently have for our full-time students. As well as this she will be helping to maintain our relationship with recruiters at a variety of post houses to further benefit our students.
Ever Wanted To See Your Name In Lights?
Or wanted to be able to say, 'I did that', when watching a film and seeing a huge, breath taking explosion? Then maybe you should start to think about pursuing a career in Visual Effects. At Escape Studios, we want to make those first steps into the industry as easy as possible whilst providing you with the tools to succeed. Our Visual Effects Production course will not only give you the skills to progress in the exciting world of Film Visual Effects, but will also show you how to make an impressive show reel (which results in many of our students securing jobs once they have finished.)
CG Whiz 2011 Winner: Journey So Far
For the past three years, we have held a 'CG Whiz' competition, and one of the winners from last year just recently claimed part of his award by beginning a 12 week VFX course here at Escape Studios. We wanted to offer a little insight into what this opportunity means for Daniel, but, before we jump in, here's a low down on the competition itself.
A Union Of Olympic Standard
It has been brought to our attention that Visual Effects facility Union VFX have recently collaborated with award winning director Danny Boyle on a couple of projects.
Shark Feeding
Recently we posted about our Graduation Day's at Escape Studios, but we thought we'd let you in on what happens after the celebrations are over.
Success Story: Mark Pascoe
Success stories about our escapees are always a pleasure to write up. What's even better though is the opportunity to write another, on the same person, just a year later! Mark Pascoe recently answered some questions for us, explaining his journey from studying Sports Science at University to working on the VFX for an Emmy nominated TV Show for the Discovery channel.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
Emanuel Ax (born 8 June 1949) is a Grammy-winning American classical pianist. He is an internationally acclaimed performer, and a teacher on the faculty of the Juilliard School.[1]
Ax was born in a Polish-Jewish family[2] in Lviv, Ukraine (then in the USSR) to Joachim and Hellen Ax, both Nazi concentration camp survivors. Ax began to study piano at the age of six; his father was his first piano teacher. When he was seven the family moved to Warsaw, Poland (where he studied piano playing at Miodowa school) and then two years later to Winnipeg, Canada where he continued to study music, including as a member of The Junior Musical Club of Winnipeg. In 1961 the family moved to New York City and Ax continued his studies at the Juilliard School under Mieczysław Munz. In 1970 he received his B.A. in French at Columbia University and became an American citizen. In 1973 he won the Young Concert Artists International Auditions.
Ax is a particular supporter of contemporary composers and has given three world premieres in the last few seasons; Century Rolls by John Adams, Seeing by Christopher Rouse and Red Silk Dance by Bright Sheng. He also performs works by such diverse figures as Sir Michael Tippett, Hans Werner Henze, Joseph Schwantner and Paul Hindemith, as well as more traditional composers such as Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven, and Chopin.
Ax has been the main duo recital partner of cellist Yo-Yo Ma since August 3, 1973 when the pair performed its first public recital at the Marlboro Music School and Festival. They have recorded much of the cello/piano repertoire together. Ax also played quartets briefly with Ma and violinists Isaac Stern and Jaime Laredo. Before the quartet had to disband in 2001 due to the death of Stern, they recorded works for Sony by Brahms, Fauré, Beethoven, Schumann and Mozart. Ax is also a featured guest artist in a documentary film about the Toronto Symphony Orchestra and Peter Oundjian, Five Days in September; the Rebirth of an Orchestra.
In 1997, Ax was the Music Director of the Ojai Music Festival alongside the conductor Daniel Harding.
He is a recipient of Yale University's Sanford Medal[3] and also holds an honorary doctorate of music from Yale awarded in May 2007.
Ax lives in New York City with his wife, pianist Yoko Nozaki, and has two children, Joey and Sarah.

World's Lightest Collection 2 Wheel Suitcase 3 3Wrong sizing on the site Ordered Extra Small (55 x 33.5 x 23.5cm + 5cm), but returned it because it smaller in real life(49 insted of stated 55!). Otherwise it is good! 01 March 2015Lightest ever Great suitcases, bought these for my last holiday, they were so light which meant I could take more clothes etc. Wasn't sure they would stand up to the rigors of being thrown about at the airport - being put in hold and then taken out. They more than stood up to the action. Easy to spot on the carousel too. Great buy - Thanks Matalan. 25 August 2014so much room The case at first felt a bit flimsy but in reality it is quite sturdy .This case is so light, it swallowed so many items.

The Dietary Guidelines for Children and Adolescents in Australia state that once children are 12 months old they can be given full-cream cow's milk to drink. Once a child is over two years they can switch to reduced-fat milk instead. It's also recommended that young ones limit excessive consumption of other energy-dense drinks, such as fruit juice and soft drinks.
Infant formula is designed to be a breast milk substitute for babies younger than 12 months. However, there has been a proliferation of toddler formulas that look almost identical to baby formula but are instead marketed squarely at the parents of children aged one to three years instead. As a response to the World Health Organization's code for marketing infant formula, in 1992 Australia developed a voluntary, self-regulatory code of conduct for manufacturers and importers of infant formula. Signatories are restricted as to how they promote infant formula, however, toddler formula falls outside the scope of the code and marketing hype abounds. Advertising for Heinz's Nurture Gold toddler milk claims "adventurous toddlers can sometimes be so busy exploring that they can be distracted from eating. You can be sure your toddler is getting the goodness of cow's milk plus the vitamins and minerals such as iron, iodine and zinc, probiotics, prebiotics and omega-3 DHA." With spin like this, parents could be forgiven for thinking they're depriving their toddler of valuable nutrients if they don't give them toddler milk – but this simply isn't the case. Paediatric dietitian Kate Di Prima says that while toddler milk could be used as a very short-term solution for children who may be malnourished after an illness, it's not necessary for healthy toddlers. Many toddlers can be fussy eaters, but this doesn't mean they're getting inadequate nutrition or they need toddler milk. As well as being an expensive way of providing nutrients easily obtained from food, excessive consumption of these types of milk can set up problems further down the track. Too much can fill a child's small stomach and make him or her reluctant to try food, and it can also contribute to constipation. Unless you've been otherwise advised by your GP or health professional, give toddler formula a wide berth.
Ideally, babies and toddlers are better off drinking only milk and water, but for many little people sweet and tasty juice is a favourite. We found products such as Nutricia Golden Circle Hint of Juice and Heinz Summer fruit drinks, which are designed for babies six months and older. While these drinks don't have any added sugar, they're little more than very watered down fruit juice. They're certainly not necessary, and at more than $3 for six small packs, they're not economical either. If you really want to give your child juice, it would be cheaper and more practical to give them a small splash of fresh juice mixed with water in a cup. Or even better, says DiPrima, "don't even go there in the first place – juice is not a necessity".

We parted from you my dear Children, with much more regret, than we thought it proper, or for your benefit to express; for tho' we should cherish tender feelings as one of the best, and most noble distinctions of our nature - yet we should not suffer our feelings to govern us, lest they, betray us into weakness and inconsistancy: When we feel conscious we are sincerely desirous of acting for the best, and accor -

Gnaw: This face
14/04/09 || Khlysty
I'm not very much into noise: I don't come home after a hard day's work, mix a gin tonic and think "well, I need something to relax, so let's hear some Merzbow or Wolf Eyes or some such shit", y'know? I LISTEN to noise from time to time and I've even learned to appreciate some of it (Bastard Noise, anyone? Masonna? Sissy Spacek? We cool, or what?), but it's not something I do often. But, as of late, I have a feeling that there's a trend in metal, to use the harsh sonics of noise within the framework of "normal" genres and see what happens. For example, we have the blackened-doom-through-Skinny-Puppy-sequencers of P.H.O.B.O.S., the processed black metal noisescapes of WOLD and, now, Gnaw.
Well, Gnaw are into noise, but that's not the whole story. See, they're also into blackened industrial, into doom and they make forays into black metal territory. If all this sounds like a shit-soup to you, I have to inform you that you're dead wrong. Why? Because, basically the musicians working in Gnaw are on top of their game; they know their shit inside and out and they're totally capable of creating painscapes that are as ugly and pushbacky as they are compelling. Also, they seem to be ready to push the envelope as far as it can go, while staying within the "song" format, making this record somehow more approachable by normal human beings.
(As a side note, y'all know what? I fucking HATE "project" bands. I think that it's the most miserable thing happening to music, besides gated drums and hair metal. Whaddafuck is a fuckin' "project" band, huh? If some guys have some ideas and they want to work them out –probably out of their system-, ok, they should form real bands, not "projects". Even for one 7" single, they should fuckin' be a real, proper band, not a goddamn "project". All this ranting is about that I hope Gnaw will NOT be another "project", but something that will last. So, you guys at Gnaw, d'ya hear me? Be a fucking BAND, not a fucking PROJECT, ok? Cool, let's move on).
Anyway, Gnaw's bigger "names" are drummer Jamie "Thorr's Hammer-Burning Witch-Atavist" Sykes and vokillist Alan "OLD-Khanate" Dubin. But, besides them, the real force behind Gnaw is multi-instrumentalist Carter Thornton, who's responsible for the (barely) controlled sonic chaos that drives this record. Thornton lays down the riffs –and they are pretty interesting little bastards, seemingly taking cues from doom and black metal- and then he and two sound designers (Jun Mizumachi and Brian Beatrice) freely slather everything with a squall of electronic noise, distortion, feedback, processed found sounds and a jillion other little things, leaving breathing space only for the drums and the vokills to surface from the whole mess.
The genius of the band's concept, though, lies in the way they attach hooks to the whole chaotic endeavor: be it a rhythmic repetition, a melody fighting for air, a bit of processed sound, or Dubin's incredible performance (he sounds even more possessed than he did with Khanate), there's always something that kept me from pushing the "stop" button and moving on to something else. Also, as I've said before, the band tends to write "songs" instead of "sonicscapes", a strategy that makes the whole thing easier to swallow –if no less abrasive, experimental and excessively ugly. I hafta tell ya: if you go into this expecting "normal" music, you'll be sorely disappointed.
For example, the record starts with "Haven Vault", a pure throbbing noise piece with Dubin's screams coming at you in clear and processed manner. The song is extremely assaultive and abrasive and plain scary. But then, things seem to change a little: when "Talking Mirrors", the third song of this record kicked in –and I really mean KICKED IN- I almost jumped up and thought "Whoa, whaddafuck, NIN filled their scrotum at long last???!!!". The bastard is a really industro-groovy song, with lots of heavy drumming by Sykes, a shitload of noise and sonic manipulation and, on top of that, Dubin screeching his lungs out, spitting forth such user-friendly lines as: "Stare into the face of scum, dead behind the eyes" and "Hey, floor, meet this dirty freak" and "Now it's time to end Bleed out enemy". It was as if Trent took the right drugs this time and decided to stop fucking around and really bring the pain to the masses.
And that's how things go for the rest of the album: within each song, you'll find elements of known genres (black, doom, industrial, noise, electronica), heavily manipulated so that they fit into the band's method of madness. Through the whole thing Dubin shines brightly, giving a performance that surpasses the limits of dementia, moving towards audial snuff territory. As he screams (in "Backyard Frontier") "Piled high / the dream is mine / if I was nice I would bless you with this knife / I like how it shines", you get the feeling that this is not just a guy rambling and raving, that what he says rings to true for comfort. Dubin's voice gives the music a kind of desperation and malignancy rarely found, even in the most extreme reaches of metal, making it much more compelling that it should properly be.
Of course, "This Face" is the quintessential "difficult listen": the music is intentionally abrasive and confrontational, there's not much linear progression within the songs, or the album as a whole and it exudes an atmosphere of palpable, throbbing rage and desperation. Also, the tactic of burying the riffs under tons of noise and ambience might alienate people who want a more conventional approach toward music. But for those who hunger for pain and ugliness done smart, I think that this record will pretty soon be considered a benchmark of sorts.
7,5 blackened noisescapes out of 10.

Season 4 of 'Game Of Thrones' premiered on April 6 and we caught up with a number of our core characters — including Arya Stark. Is she too intent on revenge? SPOILERS for the Season 4 premiere below!
Arya Stark (Maisie Williams) is easily one of our favorite Game Of Thrones characters. She has defied expectations since her birth, since simpler times when we met her in Season 1 as just a Princess of Winterfell, dying to learn swordsmanship. However, her actions in "Two Swords" made us wonder if she's maybe a bit too far intent on revenge. Read more below, but beware of SPOILERS!
'Game Of Thrones': Has Arya Stark Gone Too Far In Her Quest For Revenge?
In "Two Swords," Arya gets her opportunity to to take back her precious Needle — the sword that her half-brother, Jon Snow (Kit Harington), gave to her. It was taken from her in Season 2 by Polliver (Andy Kellegher), one of the Lannister bannermen responsible for taking her and her friends — including Gendry (Joe Dempsie), Hot Pie and Lommy — to Harrenhal.
'Game Of Thrones' Season 4 Premiere Recap: Meet Oberyn Martell
On their way to the Vale so that Sandor Clegane (Rory McCann) can try and sell Arya to her aunt Lysa Arryn, they come across an inn at which Polliver is staying. Predictably, a fight breaks out, and Arya smashes a pot over one man's head and uses his sword to cut the backs of Polliver's knees, and grabs Needle from his scabbard before he falls.
Their exchange, then, is chilling, as Arya echoes Polliver when he killed Lommy for being unable to walk after an injured leg.
"Something wrong with your leg, boy?" Polliver, confused, asks, "what do you mean?" "Can you walk? I've got to carry you," Arya continues, stepping closer. "Carry me?" "Funny little blade. Maybe I'll pick my teeth with it," Arya finishes, as she slowly pushes Needle through his throat.
There's self-defense, and then there's revenge, and then there's revenge. It's clear that Arya is focused like none other on her mission for vengeance; this is made clear by the death list prayer she used to recite every night at Harrenhal, which included Cersei (Lena Headey), Polliver, Joffrey (Jack Gleeson), and others.
'Game Of Thrones': Arya Stark Is Just 14 Years Old; Is She Going Too Far?
Shortly after her death list became a nightly ritual, Jaqen H'ghar (Tom Wlaschiha) offered to kill three men for her in exchange for the three (including his) that she saved. She does not question it, nor does she squander the opportunity, naming The Tickler, Ser Amory Lorch, and would have gladly had Jaqen kill himself had he not helped her, Gendry, and Hot Pie escape Harrenhal.
At the end of Season 3, after the Red Wedding, Arya overhears a group of Frey soldiers around a campfire mock her mother, Catelyn, and describe the process of sewing Grey Wind's head on to Robb Stark's body. She approaches them under the guise of seeking food, and then stabs one of them repeatedly, with Sandor coming in to finish off the three others.
While her first, true kill can be written off as an emotional, heat-of-the-moment kind of thing, her murder of Polliver cannot be. The last words Lommy ever heard before he was killed have been rattling around Arya's brain ever since, and she obviously wasn't going to forget them. She did not need to kill Polliver, but she did, and without remose — or any emotion, really — written on her face whatsoever.
Arya Stark has been through a lot, but she is also 14 years old. Can you say that you'd be behaving the same as her, given the same circumstances? The way her mind is being shaped is a bit scary. However, at the same time, it's difficult to begrudge her the deaths that she seeks. I mean, King Joffrey? Someone please kill him, ASAP.
Sansa, who has been through just as much horror, has not been turned by fate into a murderer. Joffrey, on the other hand, has only been given everything and is a monster of the highest order. (Though, to be fair, incestuous genes may be playing a part in his brain being off kilter.)
Given all of the facts, I don't think that Arya has gone too far yet, but she is certainly going down that path — especially with Sandor Clegane as her traveling partner. She may need to reel it in if she wants to be of sane and healthy mind should she ever meet up with her family again.
What do you think, HollywoodLifers? Is Arya too hellbent on revenge? Or are these the normal reactions from someone who has had to deal with so much at such a young age? Vote above and comment below! (Oh, and I've read the books — but a lot of viewers haven't! So, I'm operating on what we've seen in the show. So, let's all beeee cool and keep the comments section more or less spoiler-free, shall we?)

No, she's not going too far. What you have to remember is that this is happening during the middle-ages, where children had to grow up fast. i.e. age of consent was when you were old enough to have/bear children, and boys as young as 10 were squires and followed their knights into war and in most cases, killed people. (Podrick "Pod" Payne, Tyrion's squire, is only 10 in the books). What you're doing is judging GoT by modern standards when they don't have the same morals/ideals as we do. Not to mention, this is post-war, Arya is also only 10 at this point in the books, She's seen a lot of death. She wants the people that have wronged her family, so that she can get vengence for her father, Mycah, Lady, etc. I know that GoT is an easy target for news stories because people that read them don't necessarily watch the show so they get misconceptions. But I think it's great that we're seeing what war can do to children and how they grow up to become hateful and full vengeance.
No. She's been molded and is being molded by her experiences. Observation of cold blooded killing of loved ones (including pets) hardens one's soul and fills it with a cold hate, unless she had someone of trust and love to steer away from that path, it's only natural that you're molding a killer. She will have a moral standard but not the emotional attachment to "right and wrong." I certainly could have trod that line if I were exposed to the same losses by the same means … and observed. She has also learned that at times, killing without emotion is exactly what you have to do to survive in that world.

I don't mean to belittle Sansa when I say this (I adore her), but she has not been through nearly as much as Arya has. Between the two sisters, Arya is the only one who:
* had to survive on the streets alone, eating raw pigeon to survive
* had to live among a group of criminals who would rape and betray her if they found out she was a girl
* had to participate in a battle where she could have been killed at any moment and when she had to kill others (in the book) to survive
* was beaten repeatedly by grown men (in the books)
* was forced into slave labor (her time as Tywin's servant was nothing compared to what she went through in the book, but even in the show she was forced to serve and wait on her enemy while he plotted to kill her family)
* witnessed all manner of atrocities — the murder of children, repeated gang rape, torture, etc
* had to survive constant hunger and the elements while she slept on the ground and ate insects so she didn't starve
So to say that Sansa "has not been turned by fate into a murderer" is not a good comparison. As awful as Sansa's experiences have been, they are not even on the same level as the horrors Arya has endured on a constant basis since escaping the Red Keep. If Arya had been in Sansa's place, she probably wouldn't be killing people either. She certainly would have been abused by Joffrey and forced to behave herself, just as Sansa is. But she wouldn't have developed in the same way.
As for Arya killing at 14 in the TV series, well Robb leads his first battle at the age of 14 in the books. Jon kills by this time as well and keeps doing it. This is a series full of characters who kill. I have to wonder why there doesn't seem to be any concern over their choices to commit far more murders than Arya has. Ideally, the Stark children would all be at home in Winterfell, safe and without the need to kill anyone at all. But that isn't the way the story is going.
Just my opinion, but I believe Arya's not necessarily bent on revenge so much as bent on serving justice. She has been exposed to injustice after injustice in this story. She's out to make it right. The characters she's killed are scum. Polliver murdered children, tortured people, committed rape, and wanted to rape Arya in the season premiere. His death will only benefit Westeros.

1. Arya was not a princess in season 1, but a Lady of Winterfell. The first time she could have been viewed as a princess was when the Northmen swore fealty to Robb.
2. The guy she stabbed was not her first kill. The fat kid at the Kings Landing stables was.
3. This is a medieval fantasy. Throughout most of history, children of 12 – 14 were often considered men and women. Not for no reason either, they were forced to grow up quick. Their 12-14 age group is comparable to our 18-20's.
4. Is she too young? I don't think that matters, in fact I think it allows her to adjust to the lifestyle better. Children who are raised in violent surroundings cope better with violence and become better AT violence than those people who are confronted with it at a late age. Violence, death, and war, all start to eventually seem natural, even monotonous at that level. Soldiers often say that killing is hard the first time but continuously gets easier after that.
5. If your entire family was slaughtered like hers and you WEREN'T as hell bent on revenge as her, there's something wrong with you.

" She may need to reel it in if she wants to be of sane and healthy mind should she ever meet up with her family again." Wtf, Her only remaining family are in hostile situation, if anything having the skills of an assassin would be helpful for their survival. Something tells me that you have not understood the situation that has unfolded in the books please read again and re-type this article.

Any person who (for even a split second) questions whether or not Arya has "gone too far" is clearly insane. Polliver got what he deserved, and the rest soon will follow. Seriously, how can such a question even be asked? These people got what was coming to them! THE ENTIRE STARK LINE was damn near wiped out. Keep in mind that the Starks were probably the only noble individuals out there in the beginning. They really got the shittiest end of all sticks in my opinion. That alone, coupled with the fact that they were already a fan favorite makes it almost necessary for at least one of them to carry out revenge for the family name. It just wouldn't be right if they went down without a fight.
Posted at 8:16 AM on April 8, 2014
The author fails to understand that Arya is going to have a trained mind of a killer in order to survive. She doesn't have to be a sociopath but definitely need to become as barbaric and cold as the world she lives in.
Sansa is sitting somewhat protected (though miserable). Arya is exposed to every vile creature and circumstance in this place and without the help of hound. I could only imagine her outcome. But it's important for the viewer to see arya's transformation. It's clear she's developing skills she will need later. So fallback and cut her some slack
Posted at 6:31 AM on April 8, 2014
Ok, while the show does technically differ from the book, Arya's killing of the Tickler is basically the same as her killing of Polliver in the show, so it's not like the show is making her worse. If anything the show is tamer as Arya had killed a bunch of people when Lannister men came and attacked Yoren, and killed a guard to escape Harrenhal

wow, really? this article would never have been written if arya was a 12 year old boy. Bran had to watch his father behead a man at the age of 8. Come on! The series takes place in a world where violence is very prevelent and the only way to 'play the game' or rather survive, in Arya's case, is to kill whoever else is trying to kill you. I think it's awesome that a female character finally is able to make her own decisions.

You're just begging for a book spoiler here. Seriously, you think she's gone "too far" now? Just you wait to see how far she goes to get her vengeance. The men she'll kill this season are nothing but a warm up. And frankly, I don't think you would've even written this "article" if the character was a boy.

[iPhone] Add several useful tools to your phone with Ultra Utilities! + Flashlight
Posted By Brett On September 26, 2012 @ 12:15 AM In iOS | No Comments
[1]It is not hard to find a utilities app on the App Market. It is even easier to find a flashlight app. The majority of apps in both genres are either free with ads or paid without them, although there are a few exceptions. In reality, the functionality of the iPhone never changes, so the only way to make an app better is through the user interface and putting the right tools together in one app. Due to the surplus of apps in these genres, I would normally not do a review on one, but I found Ultra Utilities! + Flashlight to impressive enough to do so.
Main Functionality
Ultra Utilities! + Flashlight provides the user with 5 common utility tools, including a flashlight.
Ultra Utilities! + Flashlight is quite an impressive utility app. It features 5 major utility tools: a flashlight, spirit level, tip calculator, ruler, and surface level. Each tool works very well due to an incredibly designed user interface that looks like something from the year 2050. To get to each of the tools, there is a unique spin dial that places the role of utility picker in this app. When a tool is chosen, a futuristic door closes and opens again, as if you are traveling through compartments of a space ship.
The flashlight is brilliantly designed with a middle push button control switch as well as options for a strobe light and Morse code. There is even a hidden feature that automatically sends an SOS in Morse code over and over again. The ruler, spirit level, and surface level are all beautifully designed and work effortlessly. Just for informational purposes, the spirit level is the typical level people see and determines whether an object is level vertically or horizontally, while a surface level measures levelness vertically and horizontally. I felt like there were some tools missing here, as a protractor and compass would have been a nice addition.
The last utility, the tip calculator, has a quite unique design to it. It features a small calculator where you can enter the bill amount in Dollars, Euros, Pounds, or Renminbi. When click the small lit arrow under the sum you entered, the screen transforms to reveal a sliding bar where you can change the tip percentage to anything you want. As you do so, the tip amount will change on the screen above it. The majority of tip calculators have the typical rates separated at 5% intervals, so this was nice change in case you are looking to tip between those common intervals (i.e. 10%, 15%, 20%, etc).
Ultra Utilities! + Flashlight is a rare utility app that is actually worth the price due to it's gorgeous user interface and touch controls. This is a smart buy for users looking for a quality flashlight and/or utility app that won't let them down.

Not bad, but not sure would buy again

Comments about CatEye Strada Double Wireless Bike Computer:
This computer is great when used with a trainer. Is easy to reset, from session to session, and provides good, clear readouts of time on trainer, current speed, average speed, etc. Initial set up was not real easy. My son managed to get the time set. Biggest complaint is the sending unit. It has an adjustable arm for the speed reader, which is great. would suggest the same type of adjustable arm would be great for the cadence reader. As is, its difficult to get the unit close enough to the cadence magnet for a reading, and not sure it will stay in position when actually riding on the road.

I love my Cateye Computers!!
By SuperNealio
from Perrysburg, OH
I have several bikes; road, mtn, cross, TT, touring and they each have a Cateye Strada Wireless computer on the bar.I now have the Double Wireless so I can use the trainer for the indoor season (when there is too much snow!!)Adding cadence with the regular info is all I need for consistent winter riding!!
Great for the price
By richard
from Champaign, IL
This device has all the features I wanted. It mounts quickly, and is pretty accurate. The stock "700x23C" settings agree with what I get from MapMyRide.Downside is, it rattles in its mount. One must be careful with remedies as too "secure" keeps one from changing functions.The sensor is also moved too easily, especially on rough roads. Occasionally, I need to stop and move the sensor back close to the crank arm.
great features at a great price
By Guido
from Spokane, WA
The Cateye was easy to install and set up. It works as advertized. I'll probably buy one for my road bike.
Suitable for my uses
By AKJames
from Port Orchard, WA
I like the small size of this computer, it took me a couple tries to set it up initially because there is not a "back" button. I like that it will mount to the bars or the stem. Wireless is nice and seems to track well even on chipseal roads.

Good Choice
By Lance Triguy
from Schenectady, NY
About Me Competitive Cyclist
This is my 2nd one of this specific Cateye cyclocomputer. I've always used Cateyes so it's hard to write an objective comparison. I've always been happy with them. My last Strada Double Wireless lasted over 5 years and through lots of miles and bad weather. Therefore, setting this one up was relatively easy. However, like all Cateye cyclocomputers the instructions are written in excessive detail in tiny, microfiche-like font, and the scrolling between different functions and buttons (at least to me) is a bit tedious. Don't be in a huge hurry to unpack this thing and slap it on your bike and head out for a quick ride at the end of the day. Plan to spend some time with it if it's your first one. The function and reliability are very good though. Worth it and good value for the price. If the display were bigger and could show more than 2 functions at once it would be even better. Battery life is very good. Good cyclocomputer for the price. You may find you have to use supplemental glue or a wrap of tape to hold the cadence magnet securely to the crank arm.
Good wireless cadence and odometer
By Paul
from Napa, CA
Instructions didn't show how to mount on a Roubaix (sensor 180 degrees out from normal installation), but bike forums and contact from Cateye explained it. Stem mount works well for me, but might be small for some. Cadence will be useful in developing speed.

Poor Design / Older Model
By Pacer
from Chesterfield, MI
The 400DW version is the older version, which does not allow you change the upper display between speed and cadence. Most of the other Strada computers allow you to change the upper display, so I'm not sure why CatEye didn't include the function on this one, but it's a deal breaker for me. Go with the 410DW version or any of the later models. Most all of them all you to cadence or speed for the upper display - just not this one.

I have used a (large) number of CatEye products over the years and I like their ease of installation and relative simplicity, except for the setup menus which I find can be a PITA to navigate. This one doesn't have GPS, gradient, climbing, HRM, power output or any of the other minutia available on many devices, but it's an excellent, compact yet easily readable source of basic info at 1/4 the price of the higher end rigs.

This is a simple truth which needs grasping at the outset if you're looking to profit from content marketing. No-one is looking for a sales pitch. Many businesses adopt an approach which seems to work on the philosophy that they have a captive audience. On the web, this is never the case.
If all you are doing is trying to sell to people, you are offering nothing of value. It doesn't matter how good your products or services are, the modern, internet-savvy individual is closed-off to sales pitches by default because if they paid attention to all the promotional content they came across on the web, they'd never get anything done.
If all you're doing is selling, you have no audience
What you should be looking to do instead is to erode people's mental defences so that they are actually willing to listen and consider the benefits of what you have to offer.
You do this by building trust and you build trust through offering something useful. Sales pitches aren't useful to the reader – they are only beneficial to the seller. Content which informs, instructs or entertains, however, serves a purpose for both parties.
Once you have people onside, they will be more inclined to listen to you. But a word of warning here – don't fritter away the trust you have built by reverting to a blunt, alienating sales approach. This will only undo all the work you have already put in.
Instead, you should be looking to camouflage your advertising. Drip feed it to people within a greater volume of content which is useful to them and they will take in more than they ever would were you to try and present them with all the information at once.
Contrast these two scenarios:
Shop 1
You walk in to buy something and the sales assistant is on you in an instant. Rather than listening to your specific needs, they simply list the features and benefits of the product in question, bombarding you with information, much of which is irrelevant. It is a wearying experience and while you may emerge with what you came for, you will need a very good reason to revisit the shop in question.
Shop 2
The shop assistant asks what you are looking for and listens to your needs. They make recommendations, highlighting the strengths and weaknesses of different products and they attempt to find exactly what is right for you. Even if they don't ultimate have what you are looking for, it has still been a valuable experience and you are therefore likely to return.
Welcoming potential customers
The online world is no different. If a website repeatedly gives you the hard sell, you have no real reason to visit and if you don't visit, you won't be buying anything.
It's about balance. You don't have just the one shot at making a sale, so don't act like that's the case. You can build desire for your products and services over time and then when you actually try to make a sale, people will be that much more responsive.
Web content is a great way of offering real value to anyone visiting your site because in the long-term it saves you time. If customers repeatedly ask the same question about something you sell, you don't have to address the issue with each of them. Instead, you can tackle it once via a blog post and then anyone who has the same concerns can read it and hopefully have their fears allayed.
Content for different purposes
Good web content can help you attract an audience, turn those people into customers and by building a relationship, you can hopefully persuade them to become repeat customers as well – which has to be your ultimate goal. Use different approaches to achieve different ends.
You want people to know you, like you and trust you. Whether you use blog posts, infographics, 'how to' videos or emails, content can help you achieve this. The obvious thing to do is to adopt attention-grabbing strategies. This is the first step really and the key thing to remember is that whatever you produce has to be remarkable enough that people will consider it worth sharing.
The exact means by which they share your content is almost a secondary concern, because without producing something that warrants wider attention, you have nothing to work with. This means spending longer on what you produce, striving for top quality. One piece of content which gains decent traction is worth infinite half-baked ideas which haven't been properly realised. This step is the equivalent of getting people into your shop. Once they're there, you can try and impress them with your knowledge and helpfulness.
Persuading people to buy
Once you've got people's attention, you need to start persuading them. You do this not by instructing people to buy something, but by forming a strong case so that they see no reason not to buy. It is about building and maintaining a relationship, because once you have someone onside, they will be more receptive and you can then direct them to pages which are a little more straightforward about the fact that you have something to sell – a product page, for example, where they can simply add the item in question to their basket.
Creating content for lead generation or with a view to converting prospects into customers demands a slightly different approach to when you're simply trying to attract attention. The overall focus is still on providing visitors with something which is in some way of value to them, but the emphasis shifts slightly. Rather than the sales aspect being right in the background to the point of invisibility, it now becomes a little more prominent.
Once you have built a degree of trust with a person through informing, instructing or entertaining them, they should consider you a credible outlet from which to buy. They may even come to closely identify with your brand. Either way, there is some form of relationship there. They should feel that you know what you are talking about whilst also being aware that you don't try and sell to them as a matter of course. In short, they are far more receptive to what you have to say.
No-one is looking for a sales pitch, so you need to communicate in such a way that people will actually pay attention. You do this by demonstrating that you are worth their time (and money) and that is really what content marketing is all about.
