Valentine's Day : Quotations

Love is a smoke made with the fume of sighs. Being purged, a fire sparkling in lovers' eyes. Being vexed, a sea nourished with lovers' tears. What is it else? A madness most discreet, a choking gall and a preserving sweet.

-By William Shakespeare

Age does not protect you from love. But love, to some extent, protects you from age.

-By Anais Nin

Love is composed of a single soul inhabiting two bodies.

-By Aristotle

Love is life. All, everything that I understand, I understand only because I love. Everything is, everything exists, only because I love.

-Leo Tolstoy

Love doesn't make the world go round. Love is what makes the ride worthwhile.

- By Franklin P. Jones

The city of lights....Paris

= The city =

My dream city is Paris!!! And now you’ll see why…

Paris France, the city of lights, is home to one of Europe’s most recognized monuments, perhaps the world’s most beautiful museum, and a cultural town of food, drink, nightlife, and sights. Paris is the capital of France.

Facts about France: Paris Monuments & Culture

• The Eiffel tower tops out at over 1,000 feet, containing 2 restaurants, a souvenir shop, a post office (for that one of a kind postmark), snack bar, and a viewing area.
• Notre Dame Cathedral, France's most famous cathedral, was started in 1163 and completed in 1330. Pay homage to French author Victor Hugo, and ascend the bell tower for a look at the gargoyles from The Hunchback of Notre Dame.
• The Louvre museum is one of the largest museums in the world, with over 35,000 pieces of art, housed in a gigantic, 60,000 square feet building. Its most famous piece is Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa.
• French Cuisine is an exciting and rich experience. There are dozens of different sizes and types of bread. There are hundreds of varieties of cheese produced all over France. Then, of course, come the wine products in seven distinct regions.

= The Eiffel Tower =

The Eiffel Tower, an icon of Paris, is a wonder of design and structure, and an impressive sight worth getting close to. The tower has spectacular views of Paris. Return at night with a bottle of Merlot to watch the spectacular light display. The Eiffel Tower tops out at over 1,000 feet, containing 2 restaurants, a souvenir shop, a post office (for that one of a kind postmark), snack bar, and a viewing area.

The world famous Paris tower is designed by Gustave Eiffel for the Universal Exposition of 1889 and was the tallest structure in the world until 1930, when New York’s Chrysler building surpassed it. The Paris tower faced criticism, especially from the artistic community of Paris, calling the structure a “truly tragic street lamp.” Guy de Maupassant ate lunch on the lower level of the Paris tower everyday because it was the only view of the city in which he couldn’t see it. The critics were slowly silenced as 2 million visitors came to see the tower in 1889. Today, the Eiffel Tower is an icon of Paris, and is embraced by the city.

The Eiffel Tower Paris is still a marvel of structure and design. Constructed for the World’s Exhibition of 1889, the Eiffel Tower Paris was slow to be embraced, but is now a beloved symbol of Paris, and one of Europe, if not the worlds most recognizable.

= Food = Eating in France is an exciting and rich experience. Food in France has many different styles. There are staples, like bread, cheese, and coffee. Bread, especially the baguette, is very common, but there are dozens of different styles and sizes of bread. Each with their own name, own texture, and varied use. As it is with cheese.

Food in Paris is not restricted to traditional French delights. Cuisine from all over the world can be found in Paris, including Asian, Indian, Middle Eastern, and other international tastes. Parisians take their meals seriously, and when dining in Paris it helps to show up in a relaxed frame of mind, and not be in too much of a hurry.

Interview with Moving Picture Company

IT-Enquirer: What do you need 3D animation software for?

MPC: I use 3D animation software to create visual effects for live action and stop motion films.

IT-Enquirer: With which tools (not necessarily software only) did you start your career?

MPC: I started with Alias PowerAnimator on an SGI Indigo back in 1994 and when Alias launched the beta-test program of Maya, I was quick to switch to this new revolutionary 3D animation package.

IT-Enquirer: Can you name a few projects you worked on?

MPC: Gaston’s War, Troy, Harry Potter 1, 2 and 3, Kingdom Of Heaven and currently Tim Burton’s The Corpse Bride.

IT-Enquirer: Do you use Maya on Windows, Linux, Unix, or on Mac? Why?

MPC: I use Maya on Linux because it can deal with large image files and huge sequences a lot better than a Windows or Mac setup can. Also, I rely a lot on shell scripting and automated tools across the vast Linux network or workstations, servers and render farm.

IT-Enquirer: What makes Maya Unlimited your software of choice above other professional 3D packages?

MPC: It definitely is one of the best and established 3D packages out there. There has rarely been an occasion where Maya wouldn’t be able to deal with the often incredibly ludicrous VFX tasks at hand. Sure, other packages could do the majority too, but I have a history with Alias’ software and that helps!

IT-Enquirer: What do you like most about Maya?

MPC: The fact that so much of it is open and accessible from the outside using plugins and scripted tools. It’s easy for Technical Directors to use due to it’s extensive MEL language. It can easily be integrated into a pipeline that already exists. Initially it wasn’t very good for advanced keyframe tasks, but now it is way ahead of the competition. Recently it has opened up it rendering architecture so other software can be linked with Maya, producing even better stunning visual effects!

IT-Enquirer: What do you dislike most about Maya?

MPC: With so many companies using it in such different industries (games, automotive, TV, film, etc) it is difficult to focus the product in a certain area. Maya has a vast array of tools and features, but perhaps it is spread just a bit thin across all industries, so anyone using it for a particular application might find that it misses out in certain areas. With Alias having such a large user base, it is difficult to get bugs fixed quickly and features added or to obtain support from the people in the know.

IT-Enquirer: What’s on your wishlist?

MPC: 1. The Maya Open Source version. A cut-down version of Maya with just basic functionality released under the Open Source Initiative. I believe such a version will see an evolution (and revolution) beyond anyones dreams.

2. The option to create better and more user friendly UI’s by offering a choice of widget packages and the ability to create your own widgets through an API.

IT-Enquirer: How do you integrate Maya with other products to reach the result you want? What’s your workflow?

MPC: Mainly by way of the Maya API. It’s is easy enough to communicate to other in-house programs and since Maya scene files can be saved and read as simple ASCII files, it is easy enough to translate data between various packages.

Нашиот свет, каков што ние не го знаеме...

Провери ги следниве статистички информации. ЧИТАЈ ДО КРАЈ, А ПОТОА НАПРАВИ ПАУЗА И РАЗМИСЛИ! Ако можеме да ја смалиме популацијата на целата земја во село од точно 100 луѓе, со сите постоечки човечки пропорционалности, потсетувајќи на истите, би изгледало како следново:Би имало: 57 Азијци, 21 Европјани, 14 од Западен Хемпшир, со се јужниот и северниот дел, 8 Африканци, 52 би биле од женскиот пол, 48 од машкиот пол, 70 не би биле бели, 30 би биле бели, 70 не би биле Христијани, 30 би биле Христијани, 89 би биле хетеро-сексуалци, 11 би биле хомо-сексуалци, 6 луѓе би поседувале 59% од целокупното богатство на светот, и сите шестмина би биле од Соединетите Американски Држави. 80 би живееле во неквалитетни населби, 70 не би биле способни да читаат, 50 би страдале од глад, 1 би бил пред смртта, 1 би бил пред раѓање (да само 1), 1 би имал високо образование, 1 би поседувал компјутер. Кога некој би размислил за нашиот свет од таква збиена перспектива, потребата за разбирање, согласноста и едукацијата би заблескале видливо. И следново, е нешто за што би требало да се размисли...Ако се разбудиш наутро, со повеќе здравје, од колку со болест...ти со уште повеќе благословен од милионите луѓе кои нема да ја преживеат оваа недела. Ако никогаш не си ја вкусил опасноста од борбата, осаменоста во затворска ќелија, агонијата од тортурата, или пак чувството за глад...ти си пред 500 милиони луѓе во светот. Ако имаш храна во твојот фрижидер, облека на тебе, покрив над главата и место за спиење...ти си побогат од останатите 75% од овој свет. Ако имаш пари во банката, во твојот новчаник, и некаква ситна заштеда во некоја чинија скриена некаде...ти си помеѓу врвните 8% од светското богатство. Ако твоите родители се сеуште живи, и во брак...ти си многу редок случај, па дури и во Соединетите Американски Држави и во Канада. Ако можеш да ја прочиташ оваа порака, ти штотуку си двојно благословен поради тоа што некој мислел и размислувал за тебе, и понатаму, ти си уште повеќе благословен одколку два билиони луѓе во светот, кои не можат да ја прочитаат до крај.

Некој некогаш рекол : Што оди околу доаѓа наоколу. Работи, како да не ти требаат пари. Сакај, како да никогаш не си бил повреден. Танцувај, како да никој не те гледа. Пеј, како да никој не те слуша. Живееј, како да е рајот на земјата. Тоа е Национално Пријателство Неделно. Прати го ова до сите за кои ги сметаш за ПРИЈАТЕЛИ. Прати го ова, и расветли му го некому денот. Ништо нема да се случи и ако не го пратиш. Единствената работа која ќе се случи, ако ЈА пратиш оваа порака, е тоа што некој ќе се смее заради тебе!

My best 2 minutes

…I’m seating on the grass, and I’m wearing sports wear. Next to me, and around me, are all my friends and the people that I love, and care about them. I’m always a rounded by them, but yesterday, in a way it touched me…Because of the opportunity to be with them on days like yesterday (yesterday was first of may), and to have them in my life every day, it makes me so happy, and lucky person…And I realized that they are the reason, and they are the only one, who are worth it, to be a live. And I realized that the money is not the most important thing in the life...
…And I stand up, and start playing volleyball with them. And that was my best 3 minutes yesterday, that I'll remember all my life...
