Roleplay meme!Mar. 15th, 2009 02:26 pm
The gang has moved into a house together. That's really all the backstory you need; let's hope they don't kill each now.
1. Kaylin
2. Makarios
3. Kai
4. Callisto
5. Aibell
6. Azlariel
7. Kato
8. Cal
9. Morgan
10. Glenna
1.Ten (Glenna), Two (Makarios) and Six (Azlariel) were forced to share a room. What kind of chaos would this cause?
Oh lord. Az would be in the corner, probably muttering to himself in his native language (he hasn't had the time to learn any languages on Earth, poor baby), Makarios would be pissed at having to spend his nights with a still-in-diapers infant, and Glenna wouldn't care either way.
2.Three (Kai) and Five (Aibell) lost a bet, and now they have to go on a date together! How would this go?
Badly. At this point, Kai and Aibell only tolerate each other, and throwing those two together for a date would be really awkward...Aibell's only about five or six, so it wouldn't be much of a date. More like an organized playdate, since she wouldn't go without one of the others with her.
3.Seven (Kato) and Four (Callisto) were out on a drive together and ended up with a flat tire in the middle of nowhere. How do they react to the situation?
Kato would panic, while Callisto sits there and openly mocks him. Once Kato calmed down (or Callisto knocked him out, whichever happened first), there's always Callisto's cell.
4.Somebody left some flowers for Eight (Cal) on their bed. How do they react? And who would have been more likely to leave the flowers: One (Kaylin) or Three (Kai)?
Cal'd probably smile and get them a vase. Then not mention that they were there until someone else did. And it'd likely be Kai that left them. Cal is his father after all.
5.Four (Callisto) is stuck doing the grocery shopping! What kind of stuff would they buy?
Alcohol. Various party foods. Anything the house didn't really need, just to piss everybody off.
6.Someone is taking forever in the bathroom this morning. Is it Ten (Glenna), Five (Aibell) or Six (Azlariel), and why?
Azlariel. As he tries to figure out a way to make a tub both comfortable to sleep in and retain it's warmth through the night. (amphibious, yo)
7.Seven (Kato) decides to throw a party! How many people do they invite, and how do their housemates feel about this?
Kato'd probably limit invites to his housemates and people connected with those there. And he'd completely forgot something important to the party and panic. They're used to this, so they'd just sigh and walk away.
8.One (Kaylin) opened the fridge this morning to find that, even though the shopping was done recently, it's almost empty. How do they react, and who would they accuse?
Atomic bomb. Kaylin has to, and I mean has to, have his seafood. At least whatever he can find that's cheapest. And dairy. Kid loves both of 'em, and if he doesn't have it...
9.Uh-oh! Nine (Morgan) and Four (Callisto) got caught gossiping about Two (Makarios)! What were they saying about their friend?
Callisto? And Morgan? Oh good sweet lord. Probably something really incriminating from the past, since Callisto and Makarios are brother and sister. The reaction would likely be extremely loud too.
10.Someone left Five (Aibell) and Nine (Morgan) in charge of decorating the living room. What ends up happening?
Shenanigans. A five year old and a bitchy 10 in appearance? Bright colors and uncomfortable materials. Definitely.

- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
- ¼ cup peeled and thinly sliced ginger
- 1 whole clove garlic
- 3 pounds young carrots, tops removed, washed but not peeled (you can also use regular carrots, peeled and oblique cut)
- ¼ cup agave syrup
- 1 cup fresh carrot juice
- 1 ½ teaspoons salt
- ¼ teaspoon freshly ground pepper
In a large skillet, melt the butter. Add the ginger and garlic. Cook over medium heat until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add the carrots and agave syrup and cook over moderately high heat, stirring occasionally, until the carrots are lightly browned, about 6 minutes. Add the carrot juice and bring to a simmer. Season with salt and pepper. Cover and cook the carrots over low heat until tender, about 8 minutes. Uncover and cook over moderate heat until the carrots are glazed, about 5 minutes longer. Remove from heat and discard the ginger and garlic.

Hey ya'll…
Check out my ESM V35. It's a bit smaller than I thought but sweet. I simply bought it for the tail; I like different chit. Specs:
Fuse: 64"
Fly Weight: 14lbs
Engine: 108 2 cycle
Engine: 120 4 cycle
8 Servos with Glow; 9 with Gas for choke
I'm undecided; either a DL 20 or 30. The 20 equals a 1.20 glow (1.22).
I always like a bit more than recommended, so right now I just decided on the DL 30 which is a 1.80 glow (1.83).
This is a simple bird to build; just like any bird from Tower Hobbies; this came from ARFPro.
I now own four (4) ESM birds from ARFPro: Robin 400; Corsair 50cc; V35; and the Booty Kickin' Do-335 Twin Front/Rear engine.
There are two more ESM birds I'm likin' at the moment.
This bird will probably sit in its box for a long time; too many birds in front of it to build, but that could change at any given moment.
So subscribe and stay tuned.
Mr DJ
PS: I hate how RCU post these giant freakin' photos...

Once again it is the sharp eyes of the right that have sprung another fauxtography scandal.

Interestingly the Labour sponsored bloggers at The Standard have used the fauxtography scandal to get at the right wing media but the reality of the situation is that LGF broke yet another fauxtography scam perpetrated by Muslim photoshoppers.
The New York Times has even credited them for exposing the scam even though they still haven't changed their original article where they claimed to have discovered the fauxtograph.

Punjab lies at the crossroads of the great civilizations of the
world. Historicaly the area west of Punjab was under the influence
of Persia, the east was the heart of the Indian civilization, the
south under the influence of the Arabs and the north under the Turko-Mongolian
influence. Many great religious movements grew in the fertile plains
of Punjab. They include Budhism, Sikhism and many schools of Sufi
thought in Islam. This ethnic and religous diversity is reflected
in the cultural mosaic of todays's Punjab.
India's independence from British rule in 1947, also saw the partitioning
of the country and the division of Punjab. Consequently, the state
was reorganised twice, and it was only in 1966, that the present
Indian state of Punjab came into being in its present form.
Chandigarh is well connected by air with New Delhi. Indian Airlines

Amritsar - Golden temple - Wagha Border -
Harike Wildlife Sanctuary
.: Amritsar
The word Amritsar means the holy pool of nectar. 1573 Work began
on digging the holy pool. 1601 Harmandir Sahib completed. 1604 Guru
Granth Sahib installed. Alongside people representing 52 professions
settled. In Maharaja Ranjit Singh's time Amritsar had superceded
Lahore as the pre-eminent city of the Orient.
Amritsar is one of the most ancient and fascinating cities of India.
It is an important seat of Sikh history and culture. Being the gateway
for travellers coming to India on the overland route from central
Asia it soon became the centre of various commercial activities.Amritsar
has various historical and religious sites. The most famous of them
all in the Golden Temple which was founded by the fourth Guru of
Sikhs, Guru Ramdas and completed by his successor Guru Arjan Dev.
.: Golden Temple
During Maharaja Ranjit Singh's reign the lower half of the temple
was decorated with marble while the entire upper half was inlaid
with copper covered over by gold plate, therefore its new name,
the Golden Temple. Free kitchen and recitation of the divine word
never cease here. Its four gates invite everyone from all directions.
.: Wagha Border
The enchanting spectacle of the beating retreat followed by the
change of guard in the evening within handshaking distance of the
Pakistan border drives attention to this place. The border, located
25 km from Amritsar City and near Attari village, draws thousands
of domestic and international tourists every year.
.: Harike Wildlife Sanctuary
Harike wetland, was initially developed with the purpose of storing
and providing irrigation and drinking water to parts of Southern
Punjab and adjoining state of Rajasthan. The construction of a barrage
at the confluence of Beej and Sutlej river gave the wetland its
constant water supply. Prior to this construction, the area was
primarily a marshy pond with aquatic vegetation and wildlife. The
wetland area is spread over a vast expanse of about 148sq.km and
is located approximately 55km south of Amritsar.

Have you ever wondered why usage of vinyl railing has bloomed up in the industry from recent past? Everywhere
you look, you will notice vinyl railings staring back at you and it feels like some railing
trend is surely catching up on home owners and housing contractors.
So let's explore this deal about vinyl railing in detail.
Industry experts look at the vinyl hype and state that it is due to many manufacturers offering warranty periods
on their products that such vinyl railing trend has kicked off. With warranties looming around and with more and
more people committing to vinyl railing, I suppose it goes without saying the trend has already captured the market
without much ado.
Using vinyl railings have its own advantages and we shall explore them one by one now. It is
the belief of many contractors that vinyl railings boast of the best life span, compared to all other options
available in the market. It is supposed to be a strong stander even during rain and drought, termites and mice and
other natural causes to wear and tear.
As with wooden railings, vinyl does not cry out for help every two months. Instead, the higher durability
coupled up with infrequent needs of maintenance has made vinyl railings another step closer to being recognized as
a solution that can be relied upon.
Hassles that people go through during installation of railings are one reason that puts people off. But when it
comes to vinyl elements, you need not worry about installation because it comes freely and easily to any
professional. Usually if you decide on a contractor, they will do the installing free of charge.
We all know that first impressions count. When it comes to railings family, vinyl railings is the beauty queen
of all. The elegance it adds to a house is inscribable in mere words. And if you are a color junkie like me, you
will love the fact that vinyl railings do have an assortment of colors for you to choose from.
Last but not in the very least, you may be overjoyed to hear that vinyl railings save up your hard earned money
because it outlasts most its alternatives such as wood and iron. Therefore, low maintenance together with higher
durability surely adds up to the popularity currently held by vinyl railings. As far as the initial cost of
installation goes, it costs as same as wooden or any other material, but if you can save up money with vinyl
railings, in the long run; it would only be wise to choose the vinyl solutions!

"There's no disputing the fact that iPhones and iPads are very sought after devices, but the price of owning these gadgets can be very costly, especially when Apple charges over $600-$700 for 32GB and 64GB models. So many customers end up getting a 16GB iPad, but what do you do you when start running out of iPad memory space? Or another important question is, do you even need more than 16GB, especially in the era of cloud storage and syncing?"

Stuff I've Watched - 2010 VersionJan. 14th, 2010 03:18 pm

It was Naughty Pirate Movie week at casa de la trancer (or 'gouge my eyeballs out with a spoon week' take your pick). And having slogged through the hetfilm 'Pirates', I turned towards the more sappho side of cinema with 'Girl Kings'. A movie I found while randomly perusing the Wolfe Video site. I mean it's got lesbians, and pirates and Drag King's. How could I refuse? One day later, I'm honestly wishing I had!!
When I walked into my local Blockbuster it was with the intention of having a Slaughtered Spelunkers marathon. But then I changed my mind because even *I'm* not that big a masochist. So, I chose the two more well-known of the Cave Crawling Catastrophe movies - The Descent and The Cave. There was supposed to be like analysis and shit about post-modernism and man's place in nature. But, I bored myself to sleep and forgot what I was going to say. So instead, it's a movie versus movie battle royale where I answer the critical questions - Who lives? Who dies? Who has inappropriate subtext with their costar? And why the Hell do people keep hiring Cole Hauser?
So, I now present -
Oh man, the only bad thing about watching this movie was watching it alone and not having anyone to snark with. So, today, I present to you - Pirates the R-rated version!
My interest in this was twofold - I wanted to see what all the hype was about and this was shot completely on HD and I wanted to see what an HD movie not made by ILM looked like. So, when I found the 'edited for the mainstream' version sitting on the shelves of my local Blockbuster, how could I *not* pick this up?
Originally released in '05 as a full blown porn, this movie won all kinds of accolades within the porn industry and received even some mainstream media attention. If you're to believe the hype then this is the movie that's supposed to bridge the gap between mainstream movies and porn flicks - high quality porn with high-calibre writing, acting and directing.

By two full days in El Calafate do you mean three nights? That was my choice and it worked for me (click on my name for my TR). However, I also enjoyed going up to El Chalten from El Calafate (bus both ways). You do need to do some hiking there.
I managed in Bariloche with buses so can't help with a driver. Three nights/two days would also work there, unless you want to tackle the drive to San Martin.
Are you sure you just want to do Argentina? From Bariloche you could do the lake crossing to Chile, fly up to Santiago and then cross the Andes again to Mendoza for some great scenery on both crossings.

If you are fond of nature and hiking you have made the right choise.
Most of the excursions in Calafate are full day, so you should stay at least 3/4 nights to have enough time. Perito Moreno Glacier takes one full, and you can do several hikings from Calafate, Glaciers in Calafate, Chalten and even Torres del Paine in Chile.
Bariloche also needs at least 3/4 nights. There are several small towns arround that are worth visiting.
Mendoza´s high spot are the wineries, you could be able to stay in one of them and experience others during the day.
The distances in Argentina are long! It takes more tan 24 hs. by bus from BA to Bariloche. Flying is the best way to combine all the cities. Bear in mind that the flights from Bariloche to Mendoza are not daily.
Hope to be useful...

I would not do either El Chalten or TdP as day trips. I know some people do, but they are short-changing themselves.
Report Abuse
Chalten and Torres del Paine are worth visiting, it is always better to spend more time, but if you are short of time and are in good health and fond of hiking and adventure, they are an open possibility to do as full day excursions. Not everyone have the oportunity to return to South America.
There are also 3/4 day small expedition cruises that depart from Ushuaia and you are able to visit Cape Horn and other Glaciers in Chile. They are superb!!
Report Abuse
@GSTOCOVAZ - By the time you actually GET to TdP from El Calafate, especially if it is high season and you have a long wait at the border, there will be little time for any hiking.
But then, I see that you are some kind of small-time travel agency.... Selling tours in Argentina.

In the first post we created his base nature - '… his base will be greed – a desire to attain more and more, which becomes a passion driven by his will and ego, to become greater than the gods and he does this with utter detachment, considering himself above his peers. Our villain seeks to play the world like chess pieces, in an effort of supremacy and domination, with himself at the top of the hierarchy, powerful and ever living...' We also gave him a little back story - '… his earliest memories are of the orphanage where he grew up...' but there are other aspects still left for consideration, such as, physical traits, appearance, name, ability, stage synchronisation and preferred grass roots MO. <o:p></o:p>

Next let us consider some physical traits, appearance and ability, these are mostly aesthetic in nature but they also play a part in the outcome of events within this story; we will also consider his preferred grass roots MO. For now, let us not consider his race or region of origin, since this will depend on his 'stage synchronisation' and also because it is of marginal importance in this story. I want this villain to have about him an air of strength, force and power, and I will attempt to do this in part via his physical traits and appearance. For starters, let us give him brown deep-set eyes, a flat nose, a strong jaw and short hair. This villain is no stranger to battle and so his physical appearance will be hardened and built, his height is of little relevance, save descriptive power, so we will make him medium height; say 5"11' but let us also add a scar to the right side of his face, which will have its own story to tell.<o:p></o:p>

This villain has a base nature that sets him up to be an effective mastermind and so he will be highly intelligent, shrewd and somewhat cunning. He has little interest in the creative arts but is fascinated by science and the arcane arts, seeing them as the perfect means to a much desired end. However, he has one major shortfall, which is also a result of his base nature – hubris. That said, he is an individual who doesn't mind getting his hands dirty and he swings his broad blade, cutting down his enemies with great prejudice; however, he prefers others to do his dirty work for him. <o:p></o:p>

As a result of his interest in science and the arcane arts, he is somewhat practised in magic and employs the best men and women of science in the known world. He has within his command certain technologies, which have been combined with magic to create weapons that are years ahead of his peers, assisting him to further his goals. Although, he is not a lord of any land, he is feared and respected by many monarchs. Lastly, let us consider his MO, once again this is a facet of his character and I won't go into much detail because this also adds the air of mystery to the story. It will be part of the journey of discovery for the protagonist within this story. That said, I will say that he is only interested in himself and all his actions are tailored towards increasing his power and influence, and he proceeds to implement his plans and actions, with complete disregard to human life; that is to say, he cares very little for human rights.<o:p></o:p>

So now we have beefed up this character and I hope after reading these two parts, you feel like you know this villain, even without him being named. His name, region of origin and story synchronisation still need to be determined but to keep this short, we will consider these another time. I hope you have enjoyed reading this as much as I have enjoyed writing it. Like I mentioned before, this story won't be complete for some time yet, simply because I am currently completing others.

 Welcome back all!

I hope you're all enjoying the Christmas holiday and there's is still the New Year to come! This piece is about creating a villain for one of my fantasy stories but I would like to tell you a little more about myself first.

I created characters and stories for the first time as a child and this continued for many years, however, I stopped for a while to complete my studies and I didn't write my first complete story until 2009. Before then, as a child, I constantly made comics with my friends and family but my drawing skills weren't anything like they are now. I studied and became very good at technical drawing and then I met an artist, and I learnt more techniques to improve my creative work to what it is now.

It wasn't until after I completed my studies that my writing evolved and reached a state where I was confident that I could describe an idea in written form. That was when I wrote A Tale Of Tales: Advent (available online); with that novella, I also decided to apply my drawing skills because I felt that it added value, especially if my readers knew that I produced that cover myself, from pencil through to digital. Since then, I have worked to continue developing my skills and I believe that I am still improving, and my process for story creation is changing. My intention is create a masterpiece as a written book, TV series or even film, and so my journey continues...

That said, I have been mulling over a completely new story and I have reached the point where I am now creating a villain. The story is set in the pre-1800's, as a fictional lost fragment of history. I don't want to reveal any more because the story is still in a state of chaotic flux in my mind; that is, it may very well change.

Anyway, I figured it might be interesting to read the mental process behind the creation of a new villain, which in this tale is one among others. That said, this one needs to be unique; so, let us begin. I have already set a stage (Historical Earth-scape pre-1800's), which has some fictional 'patches'. The character needs a base, a foundation, just like a building; but in this case ideas will suffice. A good starting point is simplicity at its core; greed, lust, desire, envy, rage and of course ego; or perhaps others like resentment, faith, love, will, passion, detachment, etc. Although these are simply words, words convey ideas and they can act as building blocks towards creating the greater idea; i.e. in this case, the villain.

It is my opinion that even the most psychopathic of villains will have a logical process that can be perceived (by yourself or another), which is obviously also morally questionable; even stark raving mad can fit into this category. Simply because the actions produce results due to the madness, whether right or wrong. For this character in this story his base will be greed – a desire to attain more and more, which becomes a passion driven by his will and ego, to become greater than the gods and he does this with utter detachment considering himself above his peers. You can see here the facets of his core that sway him away from the benign, particularly his delusion of grandeur. Now the next thing is to beef up these core traits and evoke an outward personality.

In this case, I am referring to the application of his core ideals; in one word, why? Aka his background story but I would like to proceed a little differently. That is, starting from the goal, the envisioned end result and working backwards. This villain seeks to play the world like chess pieces in an effort of supremacy and domination, with himself at the top of the hierarchy, powerful and ever living. Right, so now we have an idea of the his goal but we still don't know why... This can either be hidden and revealed later or initially revealed at the onset of his appearance in the story, or even partially hidden. The later is my preferred model and so at this point, I will only say that his earliest memories are of the orphanage where he grew up, which allows a long time scale for other character influencing events to occur. In his case, events that made him become the person that he is, at the time when the story is told.

Now the internal workings of the character have been created but there are other aspects still left for consideration, such as, physical traits, appearance, name, ability, stage synchronisation and preferred grass roots MO. In order to keep this short, I will cover those another time. I hope you have enjoyed reading this as much as I have enjoyed writing it. This story wont be complete for sometime yet, simply because I am currently completing others. If you haven't already done so you can find those stories and more information on my site: www.lunchtimetales.co.ukor visit my FaceBook page: Lunchtime Tales.

All the best,

The way of thinking can be different for people of different regions speaking different languages. This doesn't mean that language alone is solely responsible for the variation, though it too plays a part.

Consider taking a typical man from NY and placing him in Saudi or India. Assuming that he knows nothing of the language and people, such a man would feel like he is in a different world. Under the further assumption that he picks up the language then he will become aware of the differences in culture and social paradigm. Further still, if this same man (or woman) were to return to NY; upon reflection he will understand the nuances and differences in social paradigm and frame of mind of these two worlds. Perhaps, it can be said that language and culture form a framework for a 'world', where the different dialects create slightly different microcosms. Since language and culture can be linked and indeed they can also be linked to words, which in turn influences perception. Ultimately, the perception of a world by the viewer adds 'levels' to its definition… It is said by some scholars that ancient tongues have power beyond basic communication, Kabala rites are performed speaking Hebrew but agreement with this idea is not unanimous.

There's a man who observed that written and spoken sounds could affect water, considering that like our planet we are mostly water, the implications of this idea are obvious. Again this idea isn't generally agreed by the scientific community but perhaps there is some truth to it… This man wrote 'love' and 'thank you' on containers of water and after the experiment, when the water was viewed with a dark-field microscope; it showed different structures of water in comparison to the control image of regular distilled water. He also claims to have repeated the experiment with thoughts and spoken words, rather than written words. You can find more on this on 'What The Bleep Do We Know'. Perhaps this is a good example of the power of our thoughts and words. Consider for a moment that each word is a choice; each word communicated is a choice made and each choice made is an event acting on a state, i.e., each choice is the conscious kinetic unleashing a potential causing a change. The measure of this change will vary from choice to choice or perhaps not; perhaps all this, this perception is merely an illusion...

These documentaries covered life in the undergrowth and the lives of insects, etc. It is fascinating how well designed all creatures are, take for example the arachnid family. Spiders started off laying traps and not just the usual ones (cobwebs); one remarkable one was the Trap Door Spider. This spider lays what I can only describe as trip wires and once it senses a vibration, it pounces on its prey. Then there is also a species of spider that steals the food from another larger spider web… However, I found the story of the Ants the most remarkable. These fellas can accomplish anything! They can kill prey much larger than themselves and most of us know that they build intricately well designed and ventilated homes. But that's not all; they seemed to instinctively understand the importance of working together, with individuals performing specific tasks. Take for example the soldiers that protect the other Ants during a migration up a small hill, so that if any member of the army fell, then they would be caught by the interlocked soldiers. These creatures are very well accomplished at what they do and in a sense they also farm other creatures, like termites. Needless to say there is a lot that we as a society can learn from these small creatures. Then of course there are the flying creatures, the insects, such as Dragon flies, May flies, etc. Did you know that the Dragon fly lives a good portion of its life in the water and when it emerges it forces air into its wings to unfurl them, after crawling out of its outer skin? For some of these creatures like the May flies, flying makes up a tiny part of their lives. They can't feed and have about 30 minutes of flight time from stored energy, with one singular purpose; mating, and then they die. The drives for life seem much more simplified; feeding and mating. I remember seeing this species of fly that gripped the female by her neck while they mated, and then he removes anything that may have been left by a previous mate. Even the mating rituals are interesting by themselves; it is up to the males to be the flamboyant ones, colorful wing patterns etc. and the females make their choice based on the males' performance. This isn't so different from our species, save that our females do more 'prettying up' than the males but for the most part the choice is still the females, this is a similarity across the animal kingdom… But I think I have gone slightly off point. All these creatures have been so well designed for optimal survival, tailored to their needs, this of course is not a new mechanism but it never ceases to fascinate me. After watching the documentaries, I now see house flies and spiders, etc. in a different light. There is a lot of beauty in our natural world. © Pthasse Amadeus 2012 Pthasse Amadeushttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-1430090226107951530.post-67412904192649248452012-10-24T18:16:00.002+01:002012-10-24T18:16:48.023+01:00Freedom And ChoiceI have often wondered about free will, our right to do whatever we want; a freedom to choose what we will. This freedom is a curious notion - I think. Simply because by accepting the truth of free will, I must also accept that I am free to be good or bad; to persevere selfishly or selflessly. Our institutions have worked hard to present laws and guidelines, towards knowing right from wrong; but whose right is right and who decides what is wrong? Perhaps freedom (free will) has nothing to do with right or wrong but if that's so, then is free will a gift or our curse; leading every so often into confusion. It is within the right of a 'Good Samaritan' to help others, as much as it is within the right of a tyrant to commit murderous acts. However, the fact that those actions are within their right, is unrelated to good and bad, i.e., the choice is what leads to 'good or bad'. So what is good and what is bad? More so, who decides? Ultimately, it is human morality but how does morality come into play? It is possible a combination of factors, external and internal, mould an individuals sense of morality, and together with experience we can build a framework for discerning good from bad, right from wrong. But is that framework everlasting? Is John's perception of good the same as Jane's? Will Jane's wrong be the same today as it was twenty years ago? It seems that the human collective acts, in this sense, as a compass where a majority 'vote' discerns right from wrong, and institutions are established where learned individuals settle disputes of right and wrong. This is all done while accepting our right to choose to do; our right to be human. Perhaps these institutions are less necessary than we believe them to be... Now, in our modern era, these institutions have great command over what is right and wrong, which in some circumstances hampers free will and another's sense of good. But this is as much a good thing as it is a bad thing... An institution is not a separate entity, we the constituents form a part of them in one way or another; granted this may be in varying degrees, the next statement is still valid. We the people are the ones who decided and will decide, regardless of the notions and frameworks. But this once again raises the questions that were asked earlier in this post. Perhaps an individual's free will in its most primal from, leads to a choice between two things, to be selfish or selfless. A wealth of words are said, categorising the selfish or selfless acts that are good and those that are bad. For example, a revolutionary pushing for what is perceived by the individual as positive change, can be branded a criminal and therefore bad; even though the act was selfless. Another example is a single individual driven by ego and selfish needs, who succeeds in peacefully ending a major dispute. That act although driven by selfish needs will be regarded as good; still these choices are a result of our freedom to choose. Perhaps this freedom to choose is more a curse than a gift, a confusion in itself or perhaps not. Maybe it is each individuals task to understand good and bad. That said should we be all good or all bad? Either scenario is unlikely because they are intricately connected with choice and there is always the choice. Just as there is the choice to read the words of this post, or to agree or disagree with its idea. Both aspects of this choice are important because they form part of our experience, so that we can make better choices. Freedom presents a primal choice of polarity, good or bad, using the moral compass developed by internal and external forces, I choose to be good; most of the time... © 2012 by Pthasse AmadeusPthasse Amadeushttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-1430090226107951530.post-62248557170609580922012-10-24T18:16:00.000+01:002012-10-24T18:16:00.076+01:00ChangesThe Sun is always shining but sometimes clouds block out its light.

Text count software compared. What you need to know.
Counting words, characters and lines is a subject close to the heart of all freelance translators, as it's the basis for job costing and getting paid. This article considers some of the issues involved. There are tools, such as Total Assistant, to help with the process character, word and line counting. This article explains some of the things to watch out for if you don't use a tool to help produce text counts.
Different word processors and translation tools very often produce different word count values for the same document, though typically not wildly different. The differences can be due to the use of different rules for counting as well as deficiencies in the applications used.
Many people rely on the document property statistics produced by Microsoft Word to determine the word and character counts. In many instances this is perfectly good. There are however a few things to be aware of that Word gets wrong, as will be detailed.
When handling a large number of documents at a time, getting an overall word, character or line count for all documents can be time consuming, especially if this means opening several documents in Microsoft Word, noting the count values for each file and then totalling them all together. There are third party tools to automate the process of counting words. These allow a number of files, which may be of different formats, to be selected and the word/character counts are then summarised and totalled. When faced with many files, these are real time savers. For example, when working with web pages, it's quite common for a customer to supply dozens of separate files. The utilities typically support multiple file formats such as Word, HTML, PDF, PowerPoint, Excel, text etc. These dedicated word counting tools can also be more accurate as they don't have the deficiencies that standard applications, such as Microsoft Word have. The following table shows the word count from three different applications, including Microsoft Word, for a set of test documents.
The reasons why Microsoft Word and PowerPoint show erroneously low word counts are detailed later in this article.
Scanned and electronically FAXed images are another matter. These will typically be in bmp (bitmap), jpg (JPEG), gif (graphic interchange format) Tiff or some other graphical format. Acrobat PDF documents or Word documents may also contain scanned images. Text in a scanned image is not stored in the form of a character encoding, but is described like a picture and made up of coloured dots, known as pixels. To allow a computer program to count words, it is first necessary to convert the graphical image back into a character encoded format, such as Word, RTF (rich text file), Text etc. This can be done with the aid of an OCR (optical character recognition) application. There are several OCR applications on the market.
Microsoft Word.
Lets now consider Microsoft Word in more depth and the areas in where caution is needed. Word basically counts words by assuming everything between spaces is a word, this includes symbols such as % & @ * #. Translation tools are generally a bit smarter and will not include these symbols as words.
Text from text boxes, auto-shapes, grouped shaped, headers, footers and comments is not included in the Word-generated document statistics. Headers and footers usually contain little text so the error introduced by Word from ignoring this text is minor. More significantly can be the use of text boxes. Some document authors use a lot of text boxes, particularly to annotate drawings or help produce complex text layouts. In these cases, ignoring this text can produce large errors, causing the word count to be far too low.
Microsoft Word does count numbers as words. For example, 4.7, would count as one word. Some other packages may exclude numbers from the word count. General opinion seems to be split on how to consider numbers. Some say that as numbers don't need to be translated they should not be included and others say that as numbers need to be transcribed and checked for errors they should be included. For documents that contain only a few numbers the difference is typically not significant.
Word does not count the text contained in any embedded objects. These objects, sometimes also known as OLE objects, are inserted into a Word document through use of the Word 'Insert' menu and the 'Object…' item. For example an Excel worksheet can be embedded within a Word document. Often inserted OLE objects in Word documents are diagrams with little or no text, but this is not always the case and caution is needed. For example, an embedded Excel worksheet may contain significant amounts of text.
Using Microsoft Word to open HTML files and provide statistics needs some additional care. If the HTML file contains a form, with predefined options for a drop down type combo box, then Word will not count the predefined drop down text options. When the HTML contains forms this can lead to the word count being significantly lower then the truth. Also not included in the statistics by Word is the HTML page title, button text, and text in meta tags such as meta tags for description and keywords. In common which scanned images, text that is part of a graphic, very often buttons, will also not be counted.
Microsoft PowerPoint
In common with Word, PowerPoint does not count the text contained in any embedded objects, also known as OLE objects. Use of embedded objects in PowerPoint presentations is common. Microsoft Word tables can be easily inserted as embedded objects, using the PowerPoint Insert menu, Picture sub-menu. Excel worksheets are also commonly embedded into a slide. When embedded objects exist, they typically do contain significant amounts of text and this should be taken into account manually.
PowerPoint 97 and 2000 are not consistent with Word in the rules used for counting. For example, hyphenated words are counted as two words. PowerPoint XP corrects this difference. This means that two different users, with different PowerPoint versions may disagree about the word count on the same document.
PowerPoint of course doesn't provide character count statistics. For this a third party tool must be used.
Understanding the tools available and the shortcomings of different approaches to word
and character counting is important. Minor word count differences are probably not worth getting hung up on and a more pragmatic approach is sensible. A few words make little difference to the overall time for translation; far more important is carefully considering the type and difficulty of the material. This of course is an altogether more skilled task!

Emma Watson attended last night the premiere of The Circle which took place at Tribeca Film Festival, in New York. Our beautiful leading lady wore a silk white gown made by Burberry, followed by a black silk jumpsuit. Photos from the premiere and after party have been added to our gallery. You can also watch a couple of interviews Emma gave last night at the premiere bellow and under the cut!
Public Appearances > 2017 > Apr 26 – Tribeca Film Festival – "The Circle" Premiere (After Party)
Life imitated art when The Circle star Emma Watson walked the red carpet at the movie's Tribeca Film Festival premiere facing the glowing lights of smartphone cameras. In James Ponsoldt's new drama, adapted from the 2013 novel by Dave Eggers, the Beauty and the Beast star plays Mae Holland, an employee at the titular tech-world behemoth who agrees to live her entire life on camera — a status her corporate overseers, including Circle co-founder Eamon Bailey (Tom Hanks), label as going "transparent." It's a decision that carries a heavy personal cost, including the loss of friends and family as well as her own privacy.
One could say that Watson has been living a transparent life — albeit with less tragic consequences — since age 10, when she embarked on a decade-long odyssey playing Hermione Granger in the eight-film Harry Potter franchise. Speaking at a post-screening Q&A for The Circle, the now-27 year old actress remarked on the connection between the film and her real life. "It was a very vulnerable experience for me, this movie. It went to the bone of an experience where you have to look out from a stage, and there are things going on behind the scenes that nobody knows about. You just have to turn on and be this thing. Getting to play Mae and put that [experience] onscreen was very hard for me, and I'm so grateful to James for giving me to opportunity to live that."
Watson went on to add that she's become more "mindful" of her online presence — which includes a Twitter account with nearly 25 million followers, and an Instagram that reaches 33.1 million people —since making The Circle, which opens in theaters on April 28. Further encouraging her to take a step back is the recent decision by Congress to roll back Internet privacy regulations put in place by the previous administration. "All I can say is, there's no right answer," she remarked. "Trust me — I have grilled Dave Eggers! For me, it's about taking back the information that belongs to us and to me. I didn't think about most of this stuff before I read Dave's book."
While the Circle isn't a real Silicon Valley conglomerate, Ponsoldt told the audience that the production team spent time at some actual tech companies for background research. "We visited a bunch of campuses to get sense of portraying this world and recognizing what's positive [about it]. We all know the products, obviously, but wanted to spend time with the people there." And, much like his star, the director of such acclaimed dramas as The Spectacular Now and The End of the Tour, has been thinking a lot about his digital life in the wake of researching and making The Circle. "When I read it, my wife was pregnant with our first child, and we began to talk about the freedoms our children would have and how intentionally we'd be documenting their childhood — or not." Good thing that Ponsoldt knows an actress who can provide him with plenty of advice about the benefits and risks of growing up on camera.
Emma Watson, Tom Hanks, Patton Oswalt and director James Ponsoldt participated in a fireside chat with Twitter co-founder/CEO Jack Dorsey, live from Twitter HQ.
Hello Emma fans! Emma is on the cover of the May issue of Interview magazine, looking absolutely beautiful, and we have added outtakes along with the cover to our gallery! Bellow you will also find a very interesting interview, as Emma was interviewed by Jessica Chastain and the duo spoke about fashion, freedom and much more. Surely a must read!
Photoshoots & Portraits > 2017 > Session 010
It's been almost six years since the release of the last Harry Potter film, and still it can be difficult for people to separate Emma Watson from Hermione Granger, the character she played in all eight installments of the hit franchise, from the time she was 11 until she was 21. Maybe there's a reason for this. In the "fantasy" that she says became her life and the lives of her co-stars, Watson, like Hermione, has displayed unbridled passion, natural talent, and—thank goodness for us—a defiant determination to do things her way.
Whether that has meant taking time away from a white-hot film career to pursue a degree from Brown University or addressing the issue of gender inequality at the U.N. General Assembly, in her role as a U.N. Women Goodwill Ambassador, Watson has been steadfast in her authenticity. And if she's made some mistakes along the way, as she insists she has, they haven't been onscreen for us to see—certainly not in her two stunning post-Potter films The Perks of Being a Wallflower (2012) and The Bling Ring (2013), which gave us tiny glimpses of her future in film.
That future is now here. In March, Watson played Belle in Disney's live-action reboot of Beauty and the Beast, and she can currently be seen opposite Tom Hanks in the surveillance thriller The Circle, based on the novel by Dave Eggers. If the former was a return to the magical universe in which we first met her, the latter has given Watson the welcome opportunity to question how we live today, in the real world. As she tells her friend, the two-time Oscar-nominated actress Jessica Chastain, the struggle to live up to her onscreen persona—to become a spokesperson, a role model, for an entire generation of girls—might all be worth it if she can still be herself.
JESSICA CHASTAIN: Hi, honey. Where are you right now?
EMMA WATSON: I'm thrilled that you asked, because I didn't want things to get weird. I'm in the bath. In Paris. I didn't want you to hear swishing water and be like, "Uh, what are you doing?" I'm very relaxed. Where are you?
CHASTAIN: I am in a hotel room. There are bags of hair extensions and makeup and clothes everywhere.
WATSON: As long as there's a clear line across the floor so that you can actually get into bed at night, you're good.

With The Circle being out in theaters this Friday, STX Entertainment has released a couple of clips featuring Emma which you can watch bellow!
EuropaCorp and STXfilms announce an intimate Fireside Chat today, April 24, for the highly-anticipated EuropaCorp thriller The Circle, based on Dave Eggers' acclaimed novel. Twitter CEO & Co-Founder Jack Dorsey will join Emma Watson, Tom Hanks, Patton Oswalt and screenwriter/director James Ponsoldt to discuss the film and issues related to our modern socially-connected world and technology.
The chat will be livestreamed from The Circle Twitter handle (@WeAreTheCircle) today (April 24) at 11am PT / 2pm ET. The Circle will be released by STXfilms on behalf of EuropaCorp on April 28th.
Using the film's provocative themes as a jumping off point, the hour-long chat will include topics of discussion such as diversity within the tech industry, leading a tech company, our data-driven world, and the boundaries of privacy online.
The Circle is a gripping modern thriller, starring Emma Watson ("Harry Potter"), Tom Hanks ("Sully") and John Boyega ("Star Wars: The Force Awakens"). When Mae (Emma Watson) is hired to work for the world's largest and most powerful tech & social media company, she sees it as an opportunity of a lifetime. As she rises through the ranks, she is encouraged by the company's founder, Eamon Bailey (Tom Hanks), to engage in a groundbreaking experiment that pushes the boundaries of privacy, ethics and ultimately her personal freedom. Her participation in the experiment, and every decision she makes begin to affect the lives and future of her friends, family and that of humanity.
New promotional photos from The Circle, which stars Emma Watson, Tom Hanks, John Boyega and Karen Gillan have been released this past week and we've just added them to our gallery! The movie is set to be released in theaters by the end of the month, April 28, so it's only a matter of time until we see Emma once more out and about!
Film Productions > The Circle (2017) > Production Stills
Emma fans! Today is a very special and magical day… Why's that? Because it's Emma's birthday! Our talented, inspirational and smartest witch on earth turns 27 today and we couldn't be more happy to wish her a happy birthday! We hope she gets to spend it surrounded by people that she loves and loves her back, and wish this new year of her life is full of love and more success!

It's not in everyone's budget to own a central air conditioning system in the home. When the temperature gets hot, people have to find affordable alternatives. While fanning yourself won't cause a dent in your pockets, you can end up having sore arms and hands. It would also be cumbersome to fan yourself and work at the same time. The best option you can have is to buy and install the Hunter Ceiling Fans with Remote Control and Light right into your home. Hunter ceiling fans feature many designs and styles of fan units. Whatever your home design is, you can be sure to find one that matches and complements your space. Much of the style can be seen in their fan blades. They are extremely well-made and filled with lots of details and texture. They are also available in so many finishes and will coordinate in gorgeous fashion with your furnishings.
Durability is also a prime concern. You don't want wobbly and squeaky fans working in the ceiling. Seeing the fans work in a very unstable nature can give you fright and reason to concern as to when these things are going to disintegrate and fly out.
Overhead fans, if not chosen properly, will send an annoying and loud whirring noise into your room. If you put a very loud overhead fan in your bedroom, it can interrupt your sleep. Instead of having a good night's sleep with soft breezes blowing upon you, you can end up staying awake with the whirring sound that pierces your ears. And the pictures bellow are ideas about Hunter ceiling fans with remote and light.
When you spend money on a ceiling fan with remote control and light, make sure you are obtaining a classy model that is unequivocal. One method you can take for providing yourself with extra protection is with a reliable warranty or guarantee. Look very closely at the warranty prior to picking out a model for your home. Some ceiling fans offer a limited warranty. Optimal warranties cover any kind of issue you end up having to deal with. If you have a decent warranty, you can at minimum have assurance that if you have a problem with your ceiling fan that it will be fixed or replaced at no additional charge.

Ice Box's owner, trainer not in sync
Owner Robert LaPenta said he spent about five hours on Sunday watching the television coverage of Saturday's Kentucky Derby. He came to the same conclusion each time.
"I think we had the best horse in the race,'' said LaPenta, the owner of Ice Box, whose furious late rally through the sloppy Churchill Downs stretch fell 2 1/2 lengths short of Super Saver. "To come up a little short, it's tough.''
That's why LaPenta said he would like to run Ice Box back against Super Saver in the $1 million Preakness Stakes on May 15 at Pimlico. However, Nick Zito, the trainer of Ice Box, indicated that he would be more comfortable skipping the Preakness and pointing to the Belmont Stakes, a race Zito has won twice, including in 2008 with the LaPenta-owned Da' Tara. Zito and LaPenta both said that Jackson Bend, who finished 12th in the Derby, is likely to run back in the Preakness.
Regarding Ice Box, LaPenta said Monday he "wants to think about it for a few more days'' and talk to Zito after the horse goes back to the track.
"He ran so well I think the Preakness would be a nice race for him,'' LaPenta said. "I'd hate to wait to fire that one bullet in the Belmont. A lot of times you don't get that fast of a pace.''
Zito is hesitant to run Ice Box in two weeks because the colt ran so hard in the Kentucky Derby and he wants to have a horse to run in the big races the remainder of they year.
"He's a Pulpit and you worry about his mind,'' Zito said. "We ran twice as hard as the winner. He ran his guts out. I got to focus on the whole year. He could be a serious 3-year-old.''
Ice Box entered the Kentucky Derby off a six-week layoff, since winning the Florida Derby by a nose over Pleasant Prince on March 20. Zito said he had to train the horse hard to get him ready for a peak performance in the Kentucky Derby.
Zito obviously did his job well as Ice Box ran a very strong race under Jose Lezcano. However, Ice Box ran into significant trouble while attempting to rally from next-to-last in the 20-horse field.
Around the far turn, Ice Box was flying, but at the quarter pole he had to steady behind a tiring horse. Lezcano had to take him several paths wide in the stretch and twice had to alter course before finally closing ground while in the seven or eight path.
"He was running twice as fast as anybody else,'' said LaPenta, who added he watched NBC's aerial view countless times. "And I don't think it had to with just the pace.''
Neither Zito nor LaPenta had an issue with Lezcano's ride, and both indicated Lezcano would be back on Ice Box the next time he runs.
"The kid's a cool customer, just racing luck,'' Zito said. "He tried once, it closed. He tried twice, it closed. I would have loved to have seen Ice Box with a clear shot.''
"He was on the rail," LaPenta said. "When he went to make that move outside there was no room to go outside and that's where we lost the race. He knows the horse. I'm satisfied.''
In watching the replay of the Derby repeatedly, LaPenta constantly heard Calvin Borel, the jockey of Super Saver, predict that his horse would win the Triple Crown.
"If I were Calvin and I looked at the replay, I'm not sure I would have said that,'' LaPenta said.
